Through Time Chapter 369

Xianyang, as the southern parade enters the city.

The streets were already crowded with people, all with great concern in their eyes at the sight of the First Emperor’s carriage.

They had, of course, heard the news.

The First Emperor had claimed to be ill and was overseeing the country with the imperial son Hu Hai.

But there was another story in the marketplace.

The First Emperor had actually died long ago, only because his carriage was outside.

The sudden death was feared to cause a change in the world.

That is why he claimed to be ill.

There are also many other sources, true or false, which are difficult to discern.

But one thing is certain, and that is that their founder emperor who swept the world.

had almost fallen.

A slightly mournful atmosphere spread through the crowd.

Just then, I don’t know who shouted first that

“Long live the Great Qin, long live Your Majesty!”

Immediately afterwards all the people gradually shouted.

Inside the carriage, Qin Shi Huang listened to the shouts outside and his expression was slightly touched.

In the past, he had not paid too much attention to the people during the inspections, to be honest.

The Son of Heaven shepherded the people, which had the connotation of treating them like cattle.

It was like herding, as long as they were kept alive and given a mouthful of food.

It was enough.

But this time, Zhao Lang took him and set his sights on the common people.

At this moment, hearing the shouts of the people of Xianyang, and then thinking about those silent looks from people all over the south when they saw his carriage.

Even if there were reasons for the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms to secretly force the people in the name of the Great Qin.

He could not help but have a hint of hesitation emerge in his heart, too.

Was he really too eager?

Thinking of this, Qin Shi Huang could not help but close his eyes and say to himself that

“Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, within three years, I will definitely let you relax a little!”

Now that the fake death had been accomplished, and the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms had taken the bait, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

He had to quell this civil unrest that he was going to start with his own hands in the shortest possible time and at the smallest possible cost.

Of course, there was a price to be paid for doing so.

Qin Shi Huang whispered to himself that

“Lang’er, since you value those peasants so much and are the head of a peasant family.”

“Then there is always something to do for them.”

“Then don’t blame Father.”

His whispers, of course, soon dissipated into the chanting of the people.

The procession made its way to the palace.

Once the defence was handed over, the First Emperor’s carriage entered the palace.

It was only shortly after returning to the palace that Zhao Gao hurriedly came in and

“Your Majesty, many ministers are seeking an audience in front of the palace.”

Qin Shi Huang nodded blandly, then spoke dryly to

“Not to be seen.”

The news that he had claimed illness had long since reached back to Xianyang.

He did not show up for the entire return journey.

It was extremely normal for ministers to seek an audience.

But he was not prepared to see any of them, even to Wang Jian, Meng Tian and the others, and he only sent messages in secret.

Lest these people hear the news, they would run to Long’er.

What’s more, among the ministers in the court, there were still some people from the six kingdoms, and if they really knew that he had faked his own death.

If they really knew that he had faked his death, what he had done before would have been in vain.

Zhao Gao hesitated, and with a little bitterness, returned to.

“Your Majesty, the ministers are all a little worried.”

“And they also say that it is the old slave and the prime minister who hold the reins of the court…”

Zhao Gao was now bitter in his heart. After this time, he completely understood that the shackle around his neck would never be removed.

When he saw the First Emperor standing in front of him that day, he did not have the slightest thought or will to resist.

He knelt down straight away.

But now.

Although still doing the same thing as the order of the Chancellery, the power is half gone.

There was also the notorious reputation of holding the reins of government.

Qin Shi Huang said indifferently that

“Just let Hai’er take care of it.”

“Duke Hu Hai?”

Zhao Gao froze for a moment.

As Hu Hai’s half-teacher, he knew the other man quite well.

But the more he got to know him, the more he understood how uneducated the other side was.

How could he possibly deal with the many ministers he faced?

Zhao Gao wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw Qin Shi Huang’s indifferent look, he returned, at once

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Then he hurriedly left.

Qin Shi Huang then began to watch the government, still at ease with Hu Hai’s ability to break into trouble.

The open space in front of the palace.

Many ministers were exchanging words with each other with anxious faces.

“When His Majesty returns to the palace, even if he claims to be sick, he should be able to receive us for a while.”

“Exactly, can it be that it is really like a message from the marketplace that His Majesty he…”

“Be careful what you say!”

The group of ministers spoke for half a day but there was not the slightest way out.

Not long after, a figure, with many attendants, appeared in front of them.

“Imperial Prince Hu Hai?”

When the ministers saw Hu Hai, they could not help but be slightly stunned.

They knew, of course, that Hu Hai, had replaced Gao and had begun to oversee the Great Qin.

But no one took Hu Hai seriously.

Duke Fusu, with the Confucians behind him, was now at the northern border with Meng Tian.

A proper background.

Duke Gao, that also had the backing of the Legalists.

Only this Hu Hai.

He had a weak background, no talent and no virtue!

That’s why they suspected that it was Zhao Gao and Li Si who had set him up as a puppet.

“Imperial son Hu Hai, where is His Majesty now? We demand to see His Majesty!”

A minister spoke up at this time.

The other ministers echoed his words.

Hu Hai, however, was full of disdain, and with a wave of his hand, an attendant brought out a placard on which was written.

“Wait here, no noise.”

All the ministers looked at the sign and were obviously confused for a moment.

A minister soon chided that

“Imperial Prince Hu Hai, what do you mean by this? We want to see His Majesty!”

Hearing these words, Hu Hai revealed a straightforward smile and then said that

“If you don’t listen to the order, beat me out!”

Immediately, some attendants came forward and took a wooden battle and beat this minister while driving him outside the palace.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

They didn’t expect that Hu Hai would really dare to do it!

Another minister shouted directly and angrily to

“Imperial son Hu Hai, we want to see His Majesty, beat us all out if you have the guts!”

The other ministers echoed to the

“Right!”

“Exactly!”

No one believed that Hu Hai dared to offend all the ministers.

For to offend all the ministers would also be to doom him to the throne!

Only the next moment, Hu Hai’s eyes lit up and he said that

“Alas, you have all heard it, and you have asked for it yourselves!”

“Men! Beat them all out!”

Soon, amidst the angry shouts and miserable screams of the ministers, the former calm was restored in front of the palace.

Hu Hai looked at the ministers who had fled in disarray, and his heart could not help but rise a little with a feeling of pleasure.

“So that’s how it felt to be a wave that day!”

Only before he could think a few more moments, a voice came from the side of

“Hu Hai! How dare you!”

Hu Hai looked at the voice and saw Gao staring at him angrily.

The original was not false to the other, and after Hu Hai knew that truth, he became even more reckless.

Smiling coldly, he looked at Gao and waved his hand, saying

“Fight me out.”

The attendants did not come forward at this time, Gao was the prince, they did not dare to make a move.

Gao gave a cold laugh and was about to say something.

But he saw that Hu Hai had picked up his wooden staff and walked straight towards him.

He knew that this was the time when he would have the most power in his life!

No wave for nothing!

Inside the palace hall, Zhao Gao hurried in and went to Qin Shi Huang’s side to report back what had just happened.

After hearing this, Qin Shi Huang laughed and said.

“Hmph, he has learnt some of Lang’er’s tricks.”

“That’s good, word will get out in the imperial court, and the remaining members of the Six Kingdoms will no longer be suspicious.”

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Shi Huang continued to say that

“Go and sort out all the things that Lang’er sent over and make a copy of Lang’er’s father’s incriminating evidence.”

“It’s time to give Long’er a hard copy.”

Thank you “Harahama” for your second alliance reward!

I’m grateful!

I also need to add more… I’ll wait for them one by one…

Thanks again!!!
