At this moment, it was a mess outside, and the atmosphere inside seemed a bit cramped.
Zhao Gao and Li Si exchanged pleasantries and then fell silent.
Li Si knew Zhao Gao's intention, but did not reply to him immediately and kept pacing back and forth.
"Prime Minister Li, have you thought about it?" Zhao Gao broke the silence and got straight to the point.
"Brother Zhao, are you really going to do this?" Li Si lowered his arrogance as prime minister and did not match his official position, but his hesitation did not change.
Zhao Gao stepped forward and patted Li Si on the shoulder, walked around him, and said sinisterly: "The arrow is on the string, do you think there is still a way out?"
"No, all this is a foregone conclusion, and Xiang Gong's people are paying attention to everything here. If we don't put all our efforts, the consequences will be serious."
Li Si didn't stop walking, stroking his beard from time to time, having difficulty making a decision.
"Actually, Mr. Fusu is kind and worthy of his successor." Li Si asked tentatively.
"Fusu?" Zhao Gao snorted coldly, "Don't forget that he represents Confucianism. You are a member of Legalism. Will he reuse you?"
"Besides, Li Zhao has made many military exploits, and his status in the army must be high. In addition, his relationship with Meng Yi, and the relationship between you and Li Zhao that cannot be reconciled, do you think Li Zhao will not plot against you? Don't be naive. .”
"Okay, even if he doesn't plot against you." Zhao Gao paused and glanced at Li Si meaningfully, "If you let him know the cause of his father's death, do you think he will fight with you? Don't forget, he Now he is a general, commanding an army of 100,000, and his relationship with Fusu is not shallow."
Li Si's face changed when he heard this, and he stared at Zhao Gao, "You, what did you say, what made him know the cause of his father's death?"
"Hehe!" Zhao Gao smiled strangely, "If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing yourself. You can hide that little thing from Li Zhao, but you can't hide it from me."
"you"
Li Si listened, his face twisted, and his whole person looked very ferocious.
"Hey!" Zhao Gao stepped forward and patted Li Si on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, as long as you cooperate with me, I won't tell anyone."
Zhuer continued: "Of course, if none of this happens and Fusu succeeds to the throne, think about the situation you will face?"
Li Si calmed down a little, paused, and listened, as if he was deep in thought.
"Fusu succeeded to the throne. Considering the relationship between Meng Tian and him, Li Xiang asked himself: Can you compare with Meng Tian? In the court, your achievements, prestige, and strategies cannot be compared with Meng Tian. How can Fusu believe you? When the time comes, he will If Meng Tian is appointed as prime minister, your life may not be saved."
Li Si looked up at the sky, his hands hanging down feebly, and his body staggered for a while. He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, but also seemed to have difficulty making a decision.
"Prime Minister Li, don't hesitate any more. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Your life decision is in your hands. As long as you nod your head, I believe the future is bright."
Zhao Gao kept persuading and persuading.
After a long time, Li Si finally sighed, his eyes fell on Zhao Gao, and he nodded slowly.
Zhao Gao smiled knowingly, said no more, and walked out.
In the temporary palace, guards and guards were guarding all sides. No one could enter, and the waiters could only stand aside. No one knew what was going on inside.
The next moment, the door opened and a guard came out, holding the edict in his hand and hurried away. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what happened, but no one dared to ask.
The guards selected a few people, mounted their fast horses, and hurried away to the north.
In a dense forest, a trail leads straight ahead. What no one knows is that on the trail, within ten feet, there is a layer of thorns and scattered leaves. It is difficult to find it without looking carefully.
The sky was cloudy at the moment, and it was difficult to see the scenery in the distance. From time to time, a few big birds were frightened and flew away, and finally fell silent.
Suddenly, three or five fast horses came in front, and immediately there were three or five people sitting on them, hurriedly rushing this way.
Hiss!
When they stepped into this area, the horse in front let out a scream, and then the whole horse fell head-on, along with the person on the horse.
Seeing the situation in front, the people behind immediately reined in the reins and the horse stopped. The person on the horse let out a scream, looked around and shouted: "Who dares to block my way?"
These few people were bodyguards and were ordered to go to the north to announce the decree.
Seeing no one answered, the guard grabbed the reins and ordered the horse to spin in a circle, and shouted again: "We are the guards of the current emperor, and we have been ordered to move forward. If you are sensible, please come out to apologize and remove the obstacles, otherwise it will be a rebellion."
The words had an effect, and a dozen men immediately rushed out from the dense forest. However, the men were not frightened by his words. They stabbed at him with their swords indiscriminately and killed the horse in three or five blows.
When the three or five guards are frightened and helpless, they can easily be captured by the man.
A man saw something on the guard's waist and immediately snatched it away.
All this happened in just a few breaths, without any delay. Calmness soon returned to the trail, and the man disappeared, along with the guards.
A moment later, two men in black appeared on the quiet path. They were both covered by black hoods and their faces could not be seen clearly, but the straight swords at their waists proved their identities.
"Tie Ying, what should we do? Should we chase him or let him go?" one person said.
These two people are from Black Ice Platform, and the leader is Tie Ying.
Tie Ying looked at the direction in which the man disappeared and smiled unexpectedly, "There is no need to pursue him. The man's purpose in seizing the imperial edict must be the same as ours. Our mission has been indirectly completed."
The man was startled, wondering why Tie Ying said this, and asked: "Who would have the same purpose as us? Did your Majesty send another group of people?"
Tie Ying shook his head, his smile covered by the black awning bright.
"No, but this person can think what His Majesty thinks."
"Oh! There is such a person. Who is this person?"
"Li Zhaoye!"
"Li Zhao?" The man was surprised, "No wonder!"
"Your Majesty was indeed right about him. He is loyal."
While the two were talking, a person suddenly appeared from nowhere. As soon as this person arrived, he immediately raised his hands and said to Tie Ying: "Tie Ying, there is an emergency, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty."
Tie Ying's expression changed and he quickly asked: "What's the matter?"
"There were traces of bandits a mile away, and I found out that they were Zifang and his ilk."
"Zifang? He really didn't give up. He immediately told Marquis Tongwu secretly that they must be destroyed."
"We have been notified, but..." the man mumbled and continued, "but Tongwuhou didn't react at all."
"No response?" Tie Ying frowned, "This beast has ulterior motives. Your Majesty is indeed right. Everyone except Li Zhao must beware."
The next moment, Tie Ying made a decision, "Quickly activate all the Black Ice Guards and destroy the thieves one mile away."
But the man did not react immediately, but said: "Don't be anxious. Although Tongwuhou didn't move, Li Zhao did. He seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. He deployed his men on the road he must pass, waiting for the thieves to step on him. enter."
