The moonlight is bright and clear.
Li Si's bedroom.
After returning from the main hall of Ganquan Palace, Li Si finally woke up from his coma after being treated by the imperial doctors.
At this time, he opened his eyes in a daze, looked at his second son Li Zhan who was guarding his bed, and asked inexplicably: "Who are you?"
Li Zhan, who looked worried, suddenly burst into mourning and couldn't help but lie beside Li Si's bed and cry.
Amidst the cries of the second son, who had been overshadowed by the eldest son Li You, Li Si gradually came back to his senses. Two lines of old tears slipped quietly down his cheeks, and he patted Li Zhan on the shoulder. He didn't speak for a long time.
Perhaps he was a little tired from crying. Li Zhan looked up at his father's obviously gray hair and choked up, "Father, you are on the wrong track."
"hehe."
Li Si smiled bitterly, neither denying nor admitting, but said in a hoarse voice: "Go and call your Uncle Jia, father has something to ask him!"
"Father."
"Go ahead."
"Why!"
Li Zhan sighed helplessly, then stood up and walked out of the room.
He thought his father would chat with him more, but unexpectedly, his father still refused to let him participate in those things and only regarded him as a child.
Obviously Mond was about the same age as himself. When the Meng family suffered, Mond supported the whole family alone, but he couldn't do anything.
Could it be that in his father's mind, the eldest brother is the future of the Li family?
Only the eldest brother deserves to participate in the things his father does?
But why did the father go against the young master? Why!
With too many puzzlements in his heart, Li Zhan looked up at the moon in the sky, sighed again, and disappeared through Li Si's door.
I don't know how long it took, but Yao Jia came to Li Si's room again.
But Li Si said directly: "What is the result of today's court meeting?"
"Gongzi Hao was granted the title of King of Qin, killed Ying Chengyu, and captured Ying Ziyang. Ying Ziyang's army at the foot of the mountain was captured by Dunwei. Meng Yi was ordered to go to Daidi, and Zhao Gao became the doctor's order. Yan Le has served as the prince's family order, and there are several prince officials, and he is also the confidant of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai." Yao Jiayan said concisely and comprehensively.
Li Si listened quietly, neither shaking his head nor nodding, not even saying anything.
After about a moment, he seemed to react and said in surprise: "Zhao Hao killed someone at the court meeting?"
"right!"
"Is there any disorder?"
"No."
Yao Jia shook his head and said: "He was convicted by the court and killed legally!"
"this"
Li Si's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling of fear.
At this time, Yao Jia was heard sighing: "The Great Qin court is about to face disaster. The prime minister is so stupid that he conspired with Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and others!"
"The matter has come to this, is there any way out for me?"
Li Si said expressionlessly.
Yao Jia was silent.
Now they really have no way out, they can only go all the way to the dark side.
However, they all saw Hu Hai's performance at the court meeting, and they did not regard them as their own at all.
How should we take this path?
Seeing that the atmosphere became a little heavy, Li Si said with emotion: "The prince is still young and does not understand my good intentions. Even if he promotes a few close friends, how can he shake our foundation?"
"hehe."
Yao Jia suddenly smiled, looked at Li Si for a while like he was looking at a monster, then bowed deeply and said with a sigh:
"Yao Jia was originally a prisoner in Daliang. He entered the Qin Dynasty by chance. He was favored by the late emperor for knowing him, and he was recommended by the prime minister. He eventually became a Jiuqing court official. This life is enough!
Since Han Fei's incident, Yao Jia has been following the Prime Minister. The more he consults with the Prime Minister on political affairs, the more he feels impressed by the Prime Minister's great talent;
However, after experiencing this incident, Yao Jiafan suddenly woke up;
The human heart, the nature, and the destiny!
The changes in the court, the prime minister is still in his dream, Yao Jia has nothing to say! "
After saying that, Yao Jia handed over his hand and left Li Si's room.
Although Li Si wanted to stay, he did not speak in the end because he still had hope for Hu Hai in his heart.
Sure enough, half a quarter of an hour after Yao Jia left the room, Zhao Gao came to Li Si's room with Hu Hai's apology.
"Prime Minister Li, this is a letter of repentance written by the prince himself. I hope you will forgive him for his recklessness and disrespect!"
Zhao Gao walked into Li Si's room, immediately knelt down on one knee, and presented Li Si with a letter of repentance written by Hu Hai himself.
Li Si did not pick up the letter of repentance and asked coldly, "What happened to the two of you, Ying Chengyu?"
"this"
Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment, knowing that he couldn't hide the matter from Li Si, so he told the truth:
"The Prime Minister is powerful and unwilling to be mediocre. He originally planned to cooperate with Ying Chengyu and borrow his power in the court. However, Ying Chengyu colluded with Ying Ziyang and secretly plotted against Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao turned against him and died tragically under torture. under!"
"Ah!"
Li Si snorted and said coldly, "You can be honest, but do you plan to ease the relationship between me and the prince just by relying on this forged letter of repentance from the prince? Or do you think that I will keep a child by your side?" Will you bite your own dog at any time?”
"If the Prime Minister says that, then we will have to be defeated one by one by King Qin!"
Zhao Gao was not surprised at all that Li Si saw through Hu Hai's letter of apology as a fake, but he did not follow Li Si's questioning and expressed his cowardice.
After all, he had treated Li Si calmly just now. If he continued to obey Li Si in everything, it would be difficult not to make Li Si suspicious.
Sure enough, Li Si quickly fell silent after hearing what he said.
After about a while, Li Si asked in a deep voice, "What are your plans?"
"The Prime Minister is referring to"
"Why do you need to ask even though you already know?"
"hehe."
Zhao Gao smiled noncommittally, then got up from the ground, and continued:
"The position of the King of Qin and the position of the Protector Commander seems really scary, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible to plan!"
"Oh?" Li Si raised his eyebrows; "I'd like to hear the details!"
"I think the Prime Minister should know what the word 'King of Qin' means. The Great Qin is currently in a precarious situation, and it is in urgent need of a big man with reputation, prestige, and ability that is no less than the late Emperor, who can shock the world!"
"this"
Li Si's eyes widened and his heart suddenly moved.
But Zhao Gao said leisurely: "The late emperor died suddenly, the world is uneasy, the remnants of the six countries are ready to stir up trouble, and the border areas are not peaceful. The King of Qin followed the example of the late emperor and patrolled the world to calm the people of the world and eliminate the troubles on the border. Why not?"
"you!"
Discussing the matter, Li Si really admired Zhao Gao's talent.
In such a desperate situation, he actually came up with such a trick.
It is true that this move will greatly reduce Hu Hai's prestige in the hearts of the people in the world, and even make the people in the world only know the king of Qin and not the prince.
But this prestige is temporary. Once Hu Hai survives until the day of the enthronement ceremony and successfully ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, everything the King of Qin owns will be in vain, even the wedding clothes made for Hu Hai.
Because the world has been stabilized by King Qin, Hu Hai just needs to sit back and enjoy the success.
Moreover, this move is pure conspiracy!
As the only great king of the Qin Dynasty, what reason could there be to shirk the important task of stabilizing the country?
With this thought, Li Si's lips curled up into a faint smile, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and asked Zhao Gao: "Does the prince know about this?"
Zhao Gao sighed and shook his head: "The Prime Minister is aware that the Prince is still young and not familiar with world affairs. Only the Prime Minister makes a decision, so I dare to inform the Prince. I believe that the Prince will not dare to disobey the Prime Minister again!"
Hearing this, Li Si's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he cupped his hands towards Zhao Gao and said:
"In this case, if you dare to ask the doctor to report to the prince, I will do my best to facilitate this matter, and the prince can rest easy!"
"With the Prime Minister here, why should the world be unhappy?"
Zhao Gao praised Li Si enthusiastically and was about to leave.
At this moment, Li Si said in an indifferent tone: "A dog is still a dog after all. Once it develops the intention to bite, it can no longer be kept. Does the doctor understand?"
Zhao Gao paused, his face uncertain, and finally turned away with a sneer: "Isn't the dog tied by a rope? How can it bite someone?"
"hehe."
Li Si smiled noncommittally, and then closed his eyes.
Zhao Gao didn't say much and left Li Si's room directly.
After he got into his carriage, he pounded the wooden board he sat on hard and said through gritted teeth: "One day, I will cut Li Si into pieces!"
"Father-in-law, calm down."
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Yan Le, who was driving the carriage, comforted him softly.
"snort!"
Zhao Gao snorted coldly, quickly collected his emotions, and then calmly asked Yan Le: "How did you do what you were asked to do?"
"I have already gone to Donghu Palace. I believe I have met Zhao Hao."
Yan Le said cautiously.
Zhao Gao was silent for a moment and then said: "Zhao Chi was captured by the people from Heibingtai. You should be careful and don't get implicated!"
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me. My son-in-law knows."
Yan Le responded respectfully, and suddenly said curiously: "Father-in-law, don't you plan to save Ying Ziyang and Zhao Chi?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
After saying this casually, Zhao Gao on the carriage closed his eyes slightly and swayed his upper body gently as the carriage rocked.
It's not that he doesn't want to save Ying Ziyang and Zhao Chi, but that there is no way to save them.
Once he interferes with Ying Ziyang and Zhao Chi's affairs, Zhao Hao will definitely swoop up like a shark smelling blood. When the time comes, let alone saving them, he himself will not be able to save himself.
Now we can only wait for Li Si to challenge Zhao Hao, and he will mediate.
In this way, time is passing away bit by bit.
Neither Zhao Gao nor Yan Le spoke.
The carriage rolled forward.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Gao suddenly asked: "I heard that many strangers have come to Xianyang recently and are asking about Zhao Hao, right?"
"Yes, father-in-law."
"Have you found out their identities?"
"not yet."
Yan Le answered neatly.
Anyway, he is a waste in Zhao Gao's heart and can only do what Zhao Gao arranges for him.
After admitting that he was a waste, he was not scolded or beaten by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao only asked him in a normal tone: "What do you think these people want to do? Are they Zhao Hao's enemies, or what?" "
"this"
Yan Le hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be serious and said: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink!"
He learned this when he was with Zhao Hao, and it was very profound once he heard it.
Sure enough, Zhao Gao had never heard such profound words before, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and a flash of light flashed.
"Let the sword slave inform the people of Wuchang and find a way to spread Zhao Hao's information, lure them into taking the bait, and find out their identities!"
"promise!"
Yan Le agreed, and at the same time his heart was greatly moved.
At the same time, outside Donghu Palace.
Zhao Hao limped to the entrance of the palace and looked at the people in front of him with confusion.
He didn't know most of them, but there were some he knew, such as Mond, Yang Cen, and Han Sheng who was cooked to death by Xiang Yu.
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Hao asked in surprise.
But Mond was the first to speak: "Sir, oh, no, Your Majesty, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
"Okay! You few come with me, and the rest of you leave my palace immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"Your Majesty! The world is in chaos!"
Just as Zhao Hao finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
The originally noisy palace suddenly burst into mourning.
Zhao Hao's face darkened and he shouted angrily: "Who dares to talk nonsense anymore! I will kill you without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, but they did not dare to say another word and left Donghu Palace sadly.
Seeing this, Mond and the others sighed helplessly.
Just an hour ago, they suddenly received a shocking news, saying that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms learned about the death of the First Emperor, and rebelled a lot, especially the prisoners in Sanchuan County, Kuaiji County and other places, who were the most violent.
Although this news has not been confirmed, they naturally did not dare to neglect because they were worried about the country and the people, so they came to Donghu Palace at night, hoping that Zhao Hao would take charge of the overall situation.
As soon as he entered Donghu Palace, Zhao Hao's face darkened; "Why didn't you report such chaos to the court in time?"
"Your Majesty! We have written to the imperial court several times." Yang Cen said angrily.
He is the son of Yang Duanhe and a classmate of Zhao Hao. He had previously entered an official position because he participated in the imperial examination and now serves in Handan County.
Zhao Hao frowned when he heard what he said: "Have you written to the Prime Minister's Office?"
"This is the law established by the old Prime Minister Wang Wan when he was supervising the country. All important matters in each county must be reported to the Prime Minister's Office."
"Okay! I won't talk about this in advance. I'll just talk about how Handan County can calm down the chaos?"
"The county guard sent his subordinates back to Xianyang because he wanted to recruit more than 10,000 soldiers to suppress the rebels!" Yang Cen answered truthfully.
Zhao Hao sneered: "Is this county guard a pig-brained person? Can you kill all the disabled prisoners, old, weak, women and children?"
"this"
Yang Cen hesitated for a moment and muttered: "At least we can drive those rebels out of Handan County."
"idiot!"
Zhao Hao was angry that he would not argue: "Aren't the other counties under the Qin Dynasty? That's nonsense!"
"."
Yang Cen was speechless.
He used to study with Zhao Hao in Wensi Pavilion, and he was often scolded by Zhao Hao. Now he is serving in Handan. Both the county guard and the county lieutenant take good care of him because of Yang Duanhe's relationship, which makes him feel vaguely like himself. Well enough.
Now being scolded by Zhao Hao again, he suddenly realized that he was nothing. He quickly showed a humble smile and raised his hands to Zhao Hao: "I'm your official, listen to the king's instructions!"
Zhao Hao glared at him with hatred, and did not rush to solve the Handan County matter. He looked at Meng again and frowned: "Why are you here? If it's because of your father or your uncle, it's okay. No need!"
"My father and uncle are both pedantic people. Mond is not here for them, but just to say goodbye to the young master!"
Mond did not call King Zhao Hao, but still called him 'Master'. The meaning of this is self-evident.
Zhao Hao was so moved that he couldn't help but sigh and helplessly shook his head: "Sit down first and then talk."
"Son."
"knew."
"No, your ass"
"They all said they knew it!"
Zhao Hao glared at Mond angrily, then limped towards his seat.
Mond, Yang Cen and others looked at each other with incredible expressions in their eyes.
In the whole world, except Your Majesty, who can hurt the young master?
With His Majesty's paternal love for the Young Master, who can hurt the Young Master?
If Zhao Hao could eavesdrop on their thoughts, he would definitely curse, saying that the love of a father is nothing like his own!
