Li Si just looked at Chen Ke, whose eyes were full of hope, with a smile unconsciously in his eyes.
He said softly: "If you think this can clear the clouds for Da Qin, then I will naturally support you."
In fact, not only Li Si, but also Wang Jian, Meng Tian and others supported Chen Ke.
They all want to see that Da Qin's future is bright and without any obstacles.
Li Si stood up and said silently: "Tomorrow is the court meeting. Are you ready?"
"I think tomorrow will be a very interesting show."
"What you want to do will definitely not be easy to accomplish, and some people's interests will definitely be affected."
"Are you ready to resist their deadly counterattack?"
Chen Ke just said indifferently: "No one can block my way forward."
At this moment, Chen Ke was like a piece of hard ice, making it difficult for people to see through his thoughts, his movements, and
Li Si didn't pay attention and just said: "If this is what you want."
He hammered his waist. In fact, he had always felt that he was still young, but his body's natural reaction had already let him know that he was no longer young.
"Okay, it's almost time, it's time to go back."
It was rare that Li Si did not continue to work overtime in the Prime Minister's Office. Instead, he was ready to go home when the time came.
This was an unprecedented first time. Even Cao Shen, who lowered his head and seemed to be working, but was actually secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, was a little surprised and shocked.
In the past, Prime Minister Li Si, who would never go back to his mansion unless he worked late, actually left right after midnight today?
This is too strange.
Chen Ke also subconsciously broke away from the artistic conception just now. He looked at Li Si and said, "Oh?"
"Brother Li, why did you leave at this time?"
"I thought that after I left, you would still be here to handle government affairs."
Li Si just curled his lips, stood up, and walked out, with a bit of evil in his eyes: "Handling government affairs?"
"You let an old man in his sixties handle government affairs here, and you go back to rest yourself?"
"I said Chen Ke, are you really embarrassed?"
Li Si quickened his pace as he walked, with pride on his face and voice: "Okay, I'm leaving hahahahahahahahahaha."
"As for the government affairs that have not been handled today, you should handle them yourself hahahahahahaha."
Zhang Yang's laughter echoed in the courtyard, and everyone in the courtyard heard this free and wanton laughter.
Cao Shen looked at Li Si's back with a touch of understanding and emotion in his eyes.
Today's Prime Minister Li Si's laughter is a little more free and carefree. He is no longer the power-obsessed Prime Minister Li Si in the past.
This is a new beginning for the Prime Minister's Office and for Da Qin.
He meant that the Prime Minister's Office was controlled by Li Si, and even the situation where no one else could touch the power was fading.
A brand new person came to the Prime Minister's Office and took charge of the Prime Minister's Office. This was a transfer of power.
The transfer of power within the Prime Minister's Office.
Chen Ke just stood there, looking at Li Si's back quietly, then bowed slightly, and did not get up for a long time.
Li Si was walking in the distance, admiring the scenery along the way. He rarely called for the chariot, but just continued to admire Xianyang City that day.
People were coming and going on the street, and people were constantly selling things. The numbness on the faces of pedestrians had faded away.
Li Si couldn't help but think of many years ago, when King Zhaoxiang was king.
There were not many smiles and happiness on the faces of the people in the world, and some were just numb. At that time, Guizhou in Da Qin was already the best place in life.
But even so, the life of the Guizhou leaders is not very good.
Where is it like now?
Today's Guizhou leaders' faces and eyes are filled with happiness and joy.
The New Year is over, spring is coming soon.
It’s the farming season again, but last year’s grain has not been used up yet. Some even in Guizhou provinces with larger families still have leftover grain that needs to be sold.
Perhaps when this year's new grain is harvested, last year's old grain will be sold.
Because this year is destined to be another good solar term.
Li Si couldn't help but laugh out loud as he walked, because he knew that even if it wasn't all his credit, he still had one or two points of credit.
Life has reached this level.
What else could he regret?
I don’t know how long they walked, but Li Si’s two sons, the eldest son Li You and the second son Li Yang, both came to the street. They had received news about the servants in the mansion and were confused, so they came to see their father. of.
They saw Li Si, whose whole body seemed to be glowing, walking quietly on the street.
At this moment, the two of them were even a little panicked. Why did they feel that their father was going to die at any time?
Li You was more stable and just asked worriedly: "Father, what happened to you today?"
Li Yang, on the other hand, was more detached and looked like a playboy. He just asked: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
"Why do you feel like you're flying into the sky?"
Li Si, who was originally immersed in the charm of Xianyang City, immediately came out of his immersion after hearing Li Yang's words.
"bump--"
The wooden stick in his hand hit Li Yang directly on the head. Li Si said with some hatred: "You kid, do you expect your eldest father to die?"
"How are you talking!"
When Li You and Li Yang heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at Li Si Shang's lively body.
Li Yang chuckled: "Didn't I hear that you didn't let the servants drive and walked on the road by yourself?"
"And you actually dispersed the value in advance. Didn't this scare me and my brother? Who are you?"
"Even if the sky is going to fall tomorrow, you will never be lazy."
Li Si glanced at the smooth-tongued Li Yang helplessly, then held his forehead and sighed: "I just figured it out a little bit."
"Why should I do it myself when that boy Chen Ke is here?"
"After all, I'm so old."
He said with a little emotion in his heart: "When I was the Prime Minister of the Left, the Prime Minister of the Right, Wang Guan, took the initiative to give in and let me take charge of the power."
"I used to think that this old man Wang Guan was self-aware, but now I know that it was a truly smart choice."
Li Si may not want to give up the power in his hands, but he knows that no matter whether he is on duty or not, whether he is in the yamen or not, he will always handle government affairs.
As long as I am still the prime minister, my rights will not be lost.
Maybe it’s time to give new young people a chance.
He turned back and looked at Li You and Li Yang: "You two have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business."
“If you don’t have a family, how can you build a career?”
Li Si squinted his eyes, looked at the sun in the distance, and said softly: "Boss, I'm not worried. It's just you, Li Yang."
"You've already been crowned, why don't you hurry up and get a wife?"
"How can a man be like this when he is still alive?"
As Li Si walked away, he asked the questions he was concerned about in a caring tone, but Li Yang had a sad face after hearing this.
"Father, it's not that I don't want to marry a wife, it's just that I should marry a virtuous wife."
"Most of the women introduced to me by my mother are pampered women from wealthy families. Such women will only think about their natal family after they get married."
"How can you think about me?"
He sighed: "That's why my son keeps refusing."
Li Si stood there holding a wooden pole and sighed after a moment: "Do you really not know your mother's painstaking efforts?"
Li You just laughed and said, "Father, what do you think?"
Li Si was no longer silent: "I will talk to your mother about this matter."
"Let's go home."
........
Prime Minister's Office
Chen Ke looked at the pile of government affairs in front of him and couldn't help but turn around and look at the clerks. The clerks all lowered their heads the moment they saw Chen Ke's eyes.
They understand very well that Prime Minister Chen, who has just been transferred to the post of Prime Minister Zuo, was still serving as Feng Chang.
Doesn't this look mean that you want to leave government affairs to them?
Seeing the reactions of these people, Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "People's hearts are not as old as they used to be."
He pressed his forehead. There were many things in the government affairs in front of him that he was not good at handling, but this time Chen Ke did not shout or directly throw things to Cao Shen and the others.
Different from the past, what was unusual was that Chen Ke actually had the patience to deal with the government affairs in front of him.
In fact, he was not worried about making mistakes in his corrections and causing disaster to the leaders of Guizhou, because the government affairs he had read had to be handed over to Li Si for review.
After Li Si inspected it, he had to hand it over to His Majesty the First Emperor again.
There are many obstacles, and it would be weird if I could make a mistake.
........
The sun sets over the western mountains.
Chen Ke rubbed his eyes, looked up from the pile of old papers, and stretched.
Today is the longest time he has stayed in the Prime Minister's Office...
Maybe this will become the norm in the future?
He smiled hoarsely.
But now it's time to take a break. Chen Ke stood up and subconsciously rubbed his waist, which already looked tired from sitting for a long time.
He looked at everyone: "If you haven't dealt with it yet, stay and deal with it before leaving."
"Once it's processed, it can be spent."
After saying that, Chen Ke walked out immediately. When he walked out, his eyes were full of happiness and joy.
As he walked on the street, he was thinking about tomorrow.
In order to clear the air for the Qin Dynasty and formulate the so-called "five-year plan", the emperor's consent was first required.
If the emperor does not agree, this matter will not be said to be realized, or even spoken out.
Thinking this, Chen Ke immediately turned his head and looked into the distance, and then walked directly in the direction of the palace.
...........
General's Mansion
After Li Si left the Prime Minister's Office, he did not return directly to his mansion. Instead, he sent his two children away and walked towards Wang Jian's mansion.
Wang Jian's life recently has been really comfortable and enviable.
He still has the rights he should have, and soldiers all over the world still think that he is the benchmark and belief in the Qin warriors, and the emperor also trusts him.
Now he is still a general, but he does not have to go to court because he is ill. He enjoys a good life at home every day.
When Li Si arrived at Wang Jian's mansion, what he saw was Wang Jian dancing his sword in the courtyard.
He sighed helplessly: "Brother Wang, what are you doing?"
"Don't you understand your own body?"
"You are still here dancing the sword. If that boy Chen Ke finds out, he will definitely report it to His Majesty. I'll see what you will do then."
Wang Jian smiled disdainfully: "That boy Chen Ke dares to file a lawsuit against me?"
Of course, even though he said this, he still put down the sword with his hand and walked to Li Si's side.
"Okay, you're a busy man and you won't come to me when you have nothing to do."
"Tell me, what happened?"
Li Si looked at Wang Jian and said directly without any hesitation or euphemism: "I would like to invite the old general to go to court tomorrow."
Going to court tomorrow?
Wang Jian heard the meaning behind this: "Okay."
He didn't hesitate at all, and didn't even ask why.
Firstly, it was because after so many years, Li Si had never asked him for anything.
Secondly, he also heard about Li Si's laughter on the street today, and even now he can see similar changes in his body.
These changes can only come from one person, Chen Ke.
So now that Li Si is asking him to go to court tomorrow, it can only be because he has something to do with Chen Ke.
This made Wang Jian unable to refuse or hesitate.
Because Wang Jian owes Chen Ke a lot of favors.
If Chen Ke hadn't proposed the official position of "Captain of the State Army", his unsatisfied son wouldn't know what he would do now.
Although the governor of the state army is based in the local area, the land of a state is different from the land of a county.
The status of the governor of the state army is equivalent to that of the governor of the state. If calculated according to the rank of the nine-rank official system, it would be about the third rank.
Wang Ben was originally just a small general and did not have many achievements.
If calculated in reverse terms, his previous official position was at least a fifth rank, and it was a casual job, just following him.
Although Wang Ben seems to have been devolved now, he has a road ahead.
Therefore, Wang Jian agreed without any hesitation.
.........
Outside Xianyang City
A horse galloped over. The army had not yet arrived at Xianyang City, but Meng Tian had already arrived at Xianyang.
He sat on the horse and looked at the towering, ancient and vicissitudes of Xianyang City, with endless emotion in his eyes.
"I'm back."
"Xianyang."
...........
In the morning, since it was a great court meeting, most of the officials from the central court had to come to attend the court meeting. Except for those on leave and those with permission from the emperor, most of them had to come.
It's just that some can stand in Zhangtai Palace, and some can only stand on the steps outside.
This is the most complete court hall in the past two years.
When some people saw the people sitting at the front of the court, they suddenly understood that the court today would be like rain from the sky.
Either strong winds and showers, or gentle drizzle.
No one can avoid it.
