Li Si was the prime minister of the dynasty, and Wang Wan was the censor. The two of them had never had any intersection in the court, and it was impossible for them to have any contact.
However, due to the imperial examination system issues a few days ago, the two of them had no choice but to join forces and go to His Majesty together, hoping that His Majesty could take back his life.
Wang Wan is still a little worried now. He was a little reckless at the time. If His Majesty thinks that he and Li Si have a private connection, will he no longer trust him?
That matter has not been resolved yet, and now Li Si comes to the Yushi Mansion again. He doesn't need to think about Wang Wan to know that it is because of Ran Fang's matter.
He thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "I know."
"You go and serve Li Si first. I'll go back after a while."
"Here." The butler said and left.
Wang Wan put down the paper on which he was going to write the memorial. After carefully making sure that there were no mistakes, he stood up, straightened his clothes and walked towards the front hall.
As soon as he walked into the front hall, he saw Li Si sitting on the couch calmly and calmly, with no look of anxiety on his face. It seemed that nothing could affect him.
Seeing Wang Wan come in, he just nodded slightly to say hello.
Wang Wan also nodded, not feeling disrespected by Li Si, and sat directly on the couch opposite Li Si.
After sitting down, the two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
However, Wang Wan still asked: "Why did the Prime Minister come to the house today?"
Li Si smiled, now that Wang Wan was still doing that.
He said bluntly: "Wang Yushi must have also received news about Ran Fang's matter."
"This matter is quite strange. I wonder what the censor knows?"
"Before His Majesty issued the decree, he must have discussed it with the Censor, right?"
Speaking of which, Wang Wan has a closer relationship with His Majesty. If there is anyone whom Your Majesty may discuss this matter with, it must be Wang Wan.
Moreover, the appointment of officials in Da Qin was usually initiated by the censor and directly appointed after His Majesty agreed.
However, Li Si knew that Wang Wan should not know about this matter, otherwise he would not have made this trip.
As expected, after Li Si finished speaking, a slightly angry look flashed across Wang Wan's face.
After just a moment, he returned to normal, with a trace of hesitation on his face, and he looked at Li Si with some worry.
"Prime Minister, what do you mean by this?"
"The Prime Minister knows Your Majesty best, so he must be aware of this matter."
Li Si smiled and seemed not to mind Wang Wan's teasing.
"hehe."
"In this case, I wonder how the censor views this matter?"
Wang Wan was already a little unhappy, but now that Li Si mentioned it, it meant that he didn't agree with this matter either.
If so, then he said bluntly: "Same as the Prime Minister."
"I heard that His Majesty has been to Xianyang Prison twice. I think Ran Fang himself recommended this command."
"And that silver seal and green ribbon, I'm afraid it will catch up with you and me."
"And Wei Liang is now His Majesty's confidant. His Majesty asked this person to read the imperial edict in order to let all ministers know Ran Fang's identity. There is no doubt about it."
Although there was no expression on Li Si's face, he was already dissatisfied in his heart.
Not only towards Ran Fang, but also His Majesty’s attitude towards Ran Fang.
There is also the silver seal and green ribbon that Wang Wan mentioned just now. This is a treatment that only the third master can get, but now it is given to an unknown boy. How can he endure it?
"That's true."
"But does the imperial censor know what is the meaning of this pro-military captain's mansion?"
"Many officials in the court are involved in this corruption case. If your Majesty values Ran Fang, you can give him a position at will."
"But why did he have to be in Xianyang Prison and establish a pro-military captain's mansion? I'm afraid there is His Majesty's intention in it."
"Is it possible that... His Majesty is alienated from all officials?"
As he spoke, he paused.
Wang Wan shook his head calmly. Although he didn't know Ran Fang well, he knew Ying Zheng.
After hesitating for a while, he said slowly: "I'm afraid I will... monitor, inspect, hundreds, officials."
"You and I both know Ran Fang's abilities. If he wanted to become an official in the court, His Majesty would be very happy to do so. But if he chose such a position, His Majesty must have deep intentions."
"Don't forget, this Xianyang Prison has always been a place for prisoners. Most of these people are people related to the imperial court. The words spoken by these dying people are probably the most credible."
Li Si also thought about this before coming. He just wanted to test Wang Wan's attitude.
Now that he saw that Wang Wan had the same idea as him, he nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to say, "That's true."
"Presumably His Majesty is also investigating this corruption case, even more than the Tingwei Mansion."
"There are too many people involved in this incident. Even Feng Quji has been banned. The matter is not over yet, and I don't know how His Majesty will deal with these people."
"At this time, the sudden addition of a pro-military captain must be to investigate and deal with this matter."
"In this case, neither the pro-military captain's mansion nor the commander can stay."
Listening to the meaning of Li Si's words, Wang Wan also understood that he wanted to get rid of Ran Fang, or not allow him to participate in court affairs.
"Then what does Prime Minister Yi mean?"
Li Si did not answer his question, but glanced at him up and down.
"Censor just now, are you ready to go to the palace to meet His Majesty?"
This time, Wang Wan did not answer.
He was planning to enter the palace to find him just now, but now after listening to Li Si's analysis, he has given up this idea.
After all, there is no point in entering, His Majesty has already made up his mind.
Li Si didn't intend to get an answer from him, so he continued: "Since Ran Fang's matter is a foregone conclusion, it's better to let Ran Fang prove it with his ability."
"I heard that the supply in the army is reduced now, and His Majesty is very worried about this matter. Why not let Ran Fang handle this matter."
"Your Majesty will surely be happy to see the results of relieving the worries of the Qin Dynasty."
Wang Wan lowered his head and pondered for a moment. The issue of military supplies had been unresolved for many days, which was really worrying.
Even so, there is still no countermeasure to this matter, leaving it to Ran Fang to deal with it. I am afraid that only Ran Fang can take out his share with the Gu family to handle the matter properly.
After all, no one in the court knew that the Gu family's refined salt business was all about making wedding clothes for Ran Fang.
"The Prime Minister has a good plan."
"If Ran Fang agrees to do this, then the money in his hands will not be kept. Without money, who will obey his orders?"
"If he doesn't respond, then the commander will probably be punished by hundreds of officials. By then, his position as commander will have to be replaced by someone else."
Li Si nodded slightly, that's what he meant.
He took a fancy to Ran Fang's talent, but if he couldn't use it for himself, then his value would have to be re-evaluated.
If this matter comes to pass, he can take the opportunity to win over Ran Fang.
At that time, no matter what Ran Fang's position in the court is, it will be a good thing for him.
It's just that he couldn't tell Wang Wan this idea. According to Wang Wan's temperament, he just couldn't bear to see Ran Fang "endangering the court."
He smiled and said: "It is true."
After speaking, Li Si looked at Wang Wan, and with just one look, the two reached a brief cooperation.
