Chapter 1145

No one expected that Hu Hai would die like this.

Although he was demoted to a commoner by the Emperor, in any case, Hu Hai was once the eighteenth young master.

His death shocked people.

Tortured to death by thieves—that sounds good, but one must know, this is near Xianyang, and even if Hu Hai was demoted to a commoner, just by virtue of his former status as a young master, there were still many people watching him by his side.

But it was in such a situation that Hu Hai died.

Upon careful thought, many people knew the truth of Hu Hai's death.

The greatest possibility was that His Majesty the Emperor had Hu Hai killed.

If it were not His Majesty the Emperor's intention, even if Hu Hai were demoted to a commoner, he would not have died like this.

"It seems that the result of this court struggle is already very clear. His Majesty the Emperor ultimately chose the eldest young master."

Many ministers, after hearing the news of Hu Hai's death, immediately had the answer in their hearts.

In the past, although Fu Su was the eldest legitimate son, because of Lord Changping's rebellion against Qin, the Qin Emperor had a grudge against Fu Su and did not like him very much. The most significant manifestation was that His Majesty the Emperor had long delayed naming a Crown Prince, and the position of successor had always been vacant.

One must know, many kings had named their Crown Princes very early, not to mention Seeing Ying Zheng, who was called the Emperor.

Because no successor had been named, this made many people harbor delusions.

Some, out of conservative ideas, attached themselves to Fu Su's command, while some ambitious people chose Young Master Eighteen Hu Hai.

At this moment, with Hu Hai dead, those who attached themselves to Fu Su could not help but be ecstatic; after years of persistence, they finally saw the clouds part and the moon appear.

And those who attached themselves to Hu Hai were terrified and could not live through the day.

Turning back to serve the eldest young master Fu Su at this time—was it still in time?

Before they could make up their minds.

After Hu Hai died, several days passed, and another bad news came.

That former Prime Minister Li Si, who voluntarily resigned from the position of Prime Minister, committed suicide by drinking poison in his residence.

Li Si was dead!

Hu Hai's death was still an expected matter; after all, he harmed his brothers first and intended to harm his brother. It was understandable that His Majesty the Emperor, after demoting him to a commoner, found a way to kill him.

But Li Si's death made many people feel determined.

Committing suicide by drinking poison seems to be Li Si committing suicide because of guilt, but this is just a more decent way of saying it.

So the question is, who was the last person to commit suicide by drinking poison?

It was none other than Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei also committed suicide by drinking poison after being dismissed from the position of Prime Minister.

Li Si's end can only be said to be exactly the same as Lu Buwei's.

No one expected that Seeing Ying Zheng's performance in the face of Fu Su being harmed would be so extreme.
