Chapter 44: Harmony between Generals and Prime Ministers
Li Si returned to Qin'an Mansion and found Fusu and the others cleaning the room.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Tian said displeasedly: "Sir, you asked them to clean the room. What, do you have any objections?"
Li Si heard the sinister tone in Meng Tian's tone and knew that he was angry that he had harmed the Meng clan.
He smiled bitterly and said: "General Meng, I'm sorry, I didn't know I would do such a stupid thing. Although your Meng clan was exterminated, my Li Si clan was also wiped out by the Yi clan.
Your Majesty has forgiven me, and I hope General Meng can also forgive me. "
"Hmph, I don't dare blame Prime Minister Li." Meng Tian said.
"General Meng, it's meaningless to talk like this. Although I will harm you and your whole family in the future, sir, it didn't happen.
Now that we know what will happen in the future, how could we let such a thing happen?
What we have to face now is Zhao Gao and Qin II. So far we only know Zhao Gao but not Qin II.
Although His Majesty will punish Zhao Gao, but not to uncover Qin II, for us, that is business.
Now we need to be at peace with each other so that the Qin Dynasty can be strong and prosperous. If we are at odds with each other, the Qin Dynasty will be weakened.
General Meng, do you plan on us being at odds with each other? "
Meng Tian said coldly: "Isn't Mr. Li going to do something to make Meng Tian forgive you?"
Li Sidao: "I have already apologized, isn't that enough?"
"Didn't Zhao Gao destroy Li Xiang's entire clan? Can Li Xiang forgive Zhao Gao?" Meng Tian said coldly.
"This..." Li Si hesitated for a moment, "That's different. Zhao Gao is the culprit of Qin's death. Even if I forgive him, Your Majesty will not forgive him."
Meng Tian said: "Then do you forgive or not?"
"I won't forgive you." Li Si followed his heart.
"In this case, how can I forgive Mr. Li?"
"Although I harmed General Meng, I am not the real culprit. At most, I just did not stop him and am considered an accomplice. Moreover, I was dedicated to the Qin Dynasty and ended up being exterminated. Isn't this worthy of General Meng's forgiveness? Li Si asked.
Meng Tian was silent for a moment and said, "Then you, Li Si, owe Meng Tian a favor."
"Yes." Li Si responded.
Meng Tian showed a smile and said: "That's good, Mr. Li, we still don't know who the second son of Qin is, do you think we should ask sir?"
Li Si said: "Actually, we can guess who it is without having to tell you, sir?"
"It's better not to make random guesses. It's not a good thing if the young masters find out." Meng Tian said.
"Then should we ask sir?" Li Si said, "No, your Majesty must be informed about this matter. Let's wait."
Meng Tian nodded and said: "What Mr. Li said is absolutely true. Let's complete what Mr. Wang wants first and then talk about it."
"Yes, I need to find some people to make paper and pen. I have a hunch that this paper and pen can change the world of Da Qin literati." Li Si said.
"In this case, Li Xiang should build two workshops for pen making and paper making as soon as possible.
I have promoted my husband's iron-making skills in the military camp. Now there are 10,000 people in the army using iron swords. "Meng Tian said proudly.
"Thank you sir for letting you be in charge of the blacksmith room. Okay, I won't tell you any more. I'm going to arrange for people to make the materials now to make paper and pens."
After Li Si finished speaking, he went to make arrangements.
After Fusu and the others finished cleaning, they went to find Qin An with Meng Tian, so they started making bricks and tiles with everyone.
Although they feel confused, why do they want to do this work?
On the other side, after Ying Zheng returned to the palace, he kept thinking about Zhao Gao and why Zhao Gao became the culprit of Qin's demise. He treated him well.
Qin An said that Xu Fu and Zhao Gao conspired to poison him. Now that Xu Fu has gone to sea, there is no way to ask Xu Fu about the situation.
It would be even more unrealistic to ask Zhao Gao directly. Zhao Gao would never admit it, and no one would admit it. Xu Fu had to use some tricks to get the other party to admit that he had lied to him.
"Come here, let Zhao Gao come see me."
"promise."
Not long after, Zhao Gao came to Li Feng.
"I have seen your Majesty. Your Majesty is safe."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I asked you to come here to ask about Hu Hai's homework."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Eighteenth Young Master now studies very late every day. Especially after learning that His Majesty sent the eldest Young Master and Young Master Gao to be apprentices to strange people, he works even harder." Zhao Gao replied.
"Really?" Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Gao with his eyes.
Zhao Gao was a little frightened by Ying Zheng's eyes. Didn't His Majesty have doubts about me?
"If Your Majesty has any doubts, why don't I invite the 18th Young Master to see Your Majesty now?"
"No, I'm going with you now. I haven't seen Hu Hai for a long time and I miss him very much." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"No." Zhao Gao responded expressionlessly.
But he was already sweating profusely in his heart. If Hu Hai was playing now and his Majesty saw it, Hu Hai would be punished. This would be very detrimental to both Hu Hai and himself.
Your Majesty must not be allowed to see Hu Hai fooling around.
Immediately, he winked at an eunuch, and the eunuch nodded slightly.
The eunuchs serving Ying Zheng were all personally selected and responsible by Zhao Gao, and they knew Zhao Gao's look very clearly.
Ying Zheng and the others haven't left the palace yet, but this eunuch has already left the palace first.
At Hu Hai's house, Hu Hai was throwing pots with the maids.
This is one of the things he likes to play very much.
"Boom."
"Hit again."
"Young Master is so interested in taking advantage of others, and he got hit again."
"That's great. Young Master is really awesome."
Hu Hai once again threw an arrow into the throwing pot, which immediately caused a burst of clapping sounds from the palace ladies.
"Haha... That's well said. I like to hear it very much. I will reward you. Everyone will be rewarded."
At this time, the housekeeper came to Hu Hai with a eunuch.
"See Young Master."
Hu Hai took an arrow, looked at the eunuch next to the housekeeper and said, "Who are you?"
"I have been ordered by Mr. Zhao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion, to come and inform the young master that your majesty is coming to the young master's house to test the young master's knowledge."
"What? Father is coming. Quick, quick, put everything away and prepare all the documents for me." Hu Hai said in panic.
Then he quickly ran to his study room.
The palace maids began to pack up some play tools such as the kettle. Because they were so nervous, a bow and arrow specially designed for kettle hit the ground without knowing it.
The eunuch Zhi Ze who reported the news went back to the palace directly. He couldn't let the First Emperor and others see him, otherwise he would end badly.
Hu Hai came to the study and sat in front of the table with a solemn expression. He took a bamboo slip and read it carefully.
