"Your Majesty is wise!" Meng Tian took the lead in kneeling, and the soldiers behind him also knelt down in unison. The sound was deafening like a tsunami.

Ying Yuan glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, but he did not feel the slightest joy in his heart. Zhao Cheng was dead, but this was just the beginning. The mess of the Qin Dynasty had just been revealed.

"General Meng Tian," Ying Yuan said in a low voice, "Zhao Cheng is dead, but I feel uneasy."

Meng Tian raised his head, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"

Ying Yuan did not answer directly, but asked: "You just said that you came here on orders, whose orders were you following?"

Meng Tian's expression changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Your Majesty, it is... it is the Queen Mother's decree."

"Empress Dowager?" Ying Yuan frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart, "What did she ask you to do?"

Meng Tian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother has ordered me to lead troops into the capital, purge the emperor's entourage, kill Zhao Cheng, and enthrone... enthrone Prince Fusu as emperor."

"Prince Fusu?" Ying Yuan repeated the name, his eyes flashing coldly, "My brother?"

Meng Tian lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Ying Yuan's eyes: "That's right."

The air froze again, and the atmosphere became tense. Ying Yuan clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his knuckles turned white. He didn't expect that Zhao Cheng was dead, but there were bigger troubles waiting for him. He always thought that he was the real master of the Qin Dynasty, but now it seems that he is just a puppet, a puppet controlled by the queen mother.

“Hahaha…” Ying Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of self-mockery and anger, “What a great way to purge the emperor’s entourage, what a great way to support a new emperor! I’m still alive, and they can’t wait to replace me!”

Meng Tian remained silent. He knew that any explanation would be pale and powerless at this moment.

Ying Yuan's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Meng Tian with a dangerous light in his eyes: "Meng Tian, ​​are you going to disobey my order?"

Meng Tian was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground: "I dare not! I am loyal to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts!"

"Loyal?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Then why do you obey the Queen Mother's order?"

"I...I have no choice!" Meng Tian's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "The Queen Mother has used the late emperor's will as evidence. I dare not disobey!"

"The late emperor's will?" A hint of mockery flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes. "What a late emperor's will! I want to see if this will is true or false!"

Ying Yuan turned around abruptly and walked down the mountain with big strides, leaving Meng Tian and a group of soldiers with a confused look on their faces.

……

In Xianyang Palace, the atmosphere was suffocatingly depressing.

The Queen Mother sat on a high seat, looking elegant and graceful, but with a sinister look between her brows. Below, Prince Fusu was dressed in white, gentle and elegant, but there was a hint of ambition hidden deep in his eyes.

"Empress Dowager, Ying Yuan has executed Zhao Cheng," a eunuch hurried in, knelt on the ground and reported.

"I understand. Go away." The Queen Mother waved her hand without any expression on her face.

"Mother, Ying Yuan has eliminated Zhao Cheng. What should we do next?" Fusu stepped forward and asked respectfully.

A cold light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes: "Zhao Cheng is just a chess piece. Now that the chess piece is gone, it's time to replace it with a new one."

"What your mother means is..." A hint of excitement flashed in Fusu's eyes. "I have already sent someone to invite General Meng Tian," the queen mother said slowly, "as long as Meng Tian leads his troops to the capital and supports you as emperor, this great Qin will be yours!"

Fusu was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be worried: "But, Ying Yuan is the legitimate emperor after all. What should we do if he insists on not abdicating?"

The Queen Mother sneered, "Him? He's just a brat, he can't make any big waves! I have my own way to make him obey."

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic: "Empress Dowager, it's bad! Ying Yuan... Ying Yuan is leading his troops into the palace!"

The Queen Mother and Fusu's faces changed drastically, their eyes filled with shock...

Ying Yuan's sword was dripping with blood, and Zhao Cheng's head rolled into the dust, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open. The air around him seemed to be frozen, and only the wind blew, stirring up a smell of blood.

Ying Yuan withdrew his sword expressionlessly, the blade stained with blood, reflecting his cold face. He ignored Zhao Cheng's "secret" before his death. In his opinion, the nonsense of a dying man was not worth wasting time.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Meng Tian took the lead in kneeling, and the soldiers behind him also knelt down in unison. The sound was deafening like a tsunami.

Ying Yuan glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, but he did not feel the slightest joy in his heart. Zhao Cheng was dead, but this was just the beginning. The mess of the Qin Dynasty had just been revealed.
