"Envoys, you have to figure it out. At the banquet, whether you gamble or not is up to you. What does it have to do with me?"
All the envoys came out to attack Li Si, and he immediately gave up.
If they hadn't been so heartless, how could they have been tricked into entering the three tribes on the border by His Majesty?
Not to mention spending so much money on it!
Now if you want to put all this debt on him, you are treating him as a fool!
"well……!"
Harry sighed deeply, took Li Si's autographed letter in his hand, folded it slowly, and put it into his arms, "It seems that this letter will appear in your Majesty's Dragon Case tomorrow! "
"Kudeng"
Li Si's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he subconsciously touched the back of his neck.
With Ying Zheng's explosive temper, if he was really allowed to see this letter, he would definitely be charged with treason.
Not only would his own head be lost, but his whole family would also be implicated!
no!
We must not let this happen!
"Um... envoys, if we have something to talk about, shouldn't we just help deliver the letter? I'll think of a way to get the letter to your Shanyu!"
In desperation, Li Si had to compromise.
At first, he just wanted to let the Xiongnu Chanyu know about the drought in the Qin Dynasty. They would have the opportunity to go to the border to search for something. The Qin Dynasty had no time to pay attention to them at this time and would not send a large number of troops to conquer.
Unexpectedly, the newly appointed Chanyu was so ambitious that after learning the news, he sent envoys directly to Xianyang to propose to marry the princess!
She is also His Majesty’s favorite eldest princess. This is simply a fantasy!
The most important thing is that this series of things happened later, which was all beyond his expectation!
If he had known that a letter could cause him so much trouble, he would definitely not have written this letter and would have used other methods to delay the reform!
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are not fighting for it, but it must be delivered to our Shanyu!"
Harry corrected his choice of words with a mocking smile.
Li Si gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will definitely send someone to deliver the letter to Shan Yu. Is that okay now?"
"What about our losses?"
Another envoy asked.
"Loss? What loss? I am just a prime minister. Can you ask me to come up with three tribes and give them to Your Majesty for you?"
Li Si spread his hands and risked his life.
If this was the case, he really had no choice but to threaten him with a letter, it would be useless!
"We will find a way to explain the tribe's affairs to Shanyu ourselves. All you need to do is replenish us with the money we lost!"
The envoy raised his chin and looked very proud.
With such a big handle in hand, there is no need to worry about Li Si not compromising!
"money……?"
Li Si took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I, Li Si, will pay for all the encumbrances that the envoys have taken!"
If they don't agree, these people will definitely threaten them with letters.
Money is something external to one's body. As long as one's life is still there, one can earn back the money sooner or later!
Besides, the Cui family just sent him 10,000 gold, which is now in the warehouse, enough for them!
"Okay, Prime Minister, please be happy!"
Harry smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and he thought it would take a lot of effort!
"I, the Prime Minister, will help you deliver a letter to Shanyu, and then compensate you for your losses. Can that letter be enough...?"
Li Si stretched out his hand, wanting to ask for the letter he wrote.
These Huns are so ambitious that it would be uneasy to leave the letter with them.
These people have to stay in Xianyang for half a month. If they don't get enough protection, they will come to threaten them again someday!
Harry smiled and pushed his hand back, "Prime Minister, don't worry, we will leave Xianyang safely in half a month, and the letter will be returned naturally!"
This letter is now equivalent to their talisman. In the next half month, it will still be useful if it is not kept intact!
Who told this guy to be a creepy guy? He also holds a high position of power, so it’s best to ask him to do things!
"Okay, I hope the envoy will not forget!"
The other party refused, so Li Si had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Don't worry, once we leave, we may never come back again in this life, and it's useless to ask for that letter!"
"I just don't know...since your emperor didn't agree to our request, shouldn't he be angry and drive us away? Why do you want to keep us for half a month longer?"
Harry was puzzled by this.
"This matter was initiated by the young master. It is probably the young master's idea. That kid's head is full of new things, and others can't guess what he is thinking!"
Li Si showed a trace of disdain and anger.
Although there was only a trace of it, the sharp-eyed Harry caught it!
"Haha! It seems that the Prime Minister and this young master are not on good terms!"
"The envoy has misunderstood. The young master is the prince, and I am just a minister. How can I be at odds with the prince? It's just that I have some opinions that are contrary to the young master!"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Li Si hurriedly stepped back.
"Haha! Well, since the Prime Minister doesn't know it, we won't force it. We just treat it as guests in Daqin and experience the local customs!"
Unable to find out more information, Harry had to give up.
Li Si opened the door and personally led the envoy to the accounting room to withdraw the money.
When the envoys came, they were empty-handed, but when they returned, they returned with a full load.
In addition to loading several carts of gold, a lot of things were also swept away from Li Si's house!
Everyone has a lot of rare furs, corals, jades, pearls and jade in their arms!
"Haha! This time we returned home with a full load! Not only did we get back the money we bet, but we also got so many good things!"
"No, look at my coral, it's such a beautiful color!"
"I didn't expect that a prime minister of Da Qin would be so rich. If we ransacked the homes of other officials, we might not be able to find anything good...!"
Back at the official post office, several people gathered around, playing with the rare objects they just got today. They were so beautiful that they couldn't pass them up.
"Humph! Just say that your situation is too small, right? You still don't accept it!"
After Harry finished speaking, he breathed on the luminous pearl in his hand and wiped it with his sleeve.
"Is the layout too small? Then come and see if it's a big one!"
Several people scratched their necks and refused to accept it.
"The land of Great Qin is vast and rich in resources. There are many good things like this. Not all of them are necessarily in the hands of the officials. Those wealthy households should have more treasures. If you ask me, everyone should be killed so that all the land of Great Qin and these good things can be returned. We the Huns own it!”
Harry raised the shiny night pearl high, his eyes revealing endless greed.
"If it were before, I, Gus, would have had absolute confidence in our Huns, but now... alas...!"
After seeing the power of artillery, Gus' confidence was greatly damaged.
No matter how strong the men on the grassland are, they cannot withstand the artillery attack!
"Gus, the war hasn't even started yet. As a general, why are you discouraged?"
One of the envoys complained.
"It's not that I'm discouraged, but that artillery is so powerful!"
"No matter how powerful the artillery is, it still has the weakness of slow movement. As long as we firmly grasp this weakness and take the initiative to attack when they are unprepared, the chance of winning is still very high!"
