Li Si was silent.
He naturally knew that Yingshu did not want to be at the forefront of the storm.
Because this matter not only concerns him, but also concerns Fusu, Hu Hai and others, and even the Great Qin Empire.
However, he knew extremely well that Yingshu could not avoid this matter!
Li Si knew in his heart that the current Great Qin had the confidence to look down on all enemies.
What's more, with the intimidation of General Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Ying Shu, Li Mu and others, the Great Qin Empire gradually entered a state of governance.
However, Li Si knew very well that the Qin Empire's biggest trouble came from within.
Although everything is moving in a good direction, risks are hidden in the dark and may erupt at any time.
Even though the current First Emperor is in his prime, he should think about it later.
Obviously, the First Emperor was also aware of this and is now planning this!
"Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Wang!"
A powerful voice came, and Li Si and others stood up quickly: "I pay homage to Your Majesty, His Majesty the Emperor will live forever!"
"No need to be polite, I'm feeling upset, come out for a walk!"
The First Emperor waved his sleeves casually: "Everyone, sit down!"
"promise!"
Seeing Li Si sitting down, the First Emperor looked at Li Si and said word by word: "Li Qing, what do you think of Ying Shu as your heir?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the palace, even a bit dead!
In the entire Great Qin court, there was no deep taboo about the issue of successors.
All the sons of the First Emperor were immature, and the huge Qin Empire did not have a suitable successor.
Although the First Emperor was in his prime at this time, he could not live forever and could not establish an empire for a lifetime.
The candidate for the crown prince of Great Qin is imminent!
With thoughts flashing in his mind, Ying Zheng took a sip of tea, smiled at Li Si, and said, "Prime Minister Li, who do you think is the right person to be the crown prince of Great Qin?"
At this moment, Li Si was shocked. Faced with such a straightforward question from the First Emperor, Li Si immediately realized that trouble was coming.
Involving the crown prince is a huge matter. If you are not careful, you will be involved in it, which makes Li Si's face extremely ugly.
When it comes to the position of crown prince, this is not something that ministers can interfere with.
Feeling uneasy, Li Si raised his head and glanced at Wang Wan. Seeing that Wang Wan did not respond, he hesitated for a long time, then raised his hand towards the First Emperor and said.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty is your Majesty's family matter. I am an outsider and is not suitable to participate. Your Majesty must make your own decision!"
Hearing this, the First Emperor took a deep look at Li Si, smiled and said: "Just treat it as a casual chat between you and me. If it is not true, I will not blame you. For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, tell the truth!"
"Why!"
Sighing in his heart, Li Si knew clearly that he might not be able to escape this time.
"Your Majesty, apart from the eldest son of the emperor, all the princes are mediocre. It's just the eldest son's character and political opinions..."
Li Si knew in his heart that the First Emperor looked down upon all the princes, including Fusu, and he had long seen the First Emperor's cultivation of winning skills.
Even before this, the First Emperor had told him clearly!
Obviously, Yingshu is far more favored than Fusu and others!
And in his opinion, with Ying Zheng's current physical performance, he can still suppress the Qin Empire for at least twenty years.
Twenty years later, Ying Shu is actually not suitable because twenty years later, Ying Shu is in his forties, almost fifty. On the contrary, the most suitable candidate is Ying Qin.
Li Si is a person who pursues the mouse philosophy.
Throughout his life, although he was keen on power, he knew better than to do what he should do at a specific point in time.
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Ying Zheng agreed with Li Si's statement.
Fusu and other princes were all useless, so he could only place his hope on Yingshu.
Count on winning skills to suppress the empire and ensure its inheritance!
"Your Majesty, I think that even if you become His Majesty's heir, it is not the best choice. On the contrary, Xiao Chang'an is suitable in all aspects!"
"Your Majesty is already over twenty years old now, and Your Majesty is in his prime. Even if you underestimate it, you can suppress the Qin Empire for at least twenty years. In this way, Your Majesty will be more than forty years old, or even nearly 20 years old. Fifty!"
"At this age, you are no longer suitable to be the heir to the empire!"
"On the contrary, Little Chang'an is the most suitable. At that time, Little Chang'an has just grown up, and your Majesty can also support him for several years to make Little Chang'an full-fledged!"
Li Si pondered for a long time and then raised his hand towards Ying Zhengyi: "Your Majesty is in good health and can suppress the Qin Dynasty for decades."
"At that time, the world was peaceful and the seas and rivers were clear. It was also when little Chang'an grew up..."
"Moreover, there is the protection of the king, which is enough to ensure that the empire's inheritance is intact!"
"At the same time, the heir to the empire has His Majesty's blood flowing in his body, and he can also have the heart of the old Qin people and the heart of the clan!"
"Hahaha……"
Smiling slightly, the First Emperor nodded first, then shook his head and said: "The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune."
"As the emperor of the empire, I have too many things involved, so I must make arrangements in advance."
…
Li Si was noncommittal about the First Emperor's words.
In his opinion, the First Emperor's visit this time was simply to test him.
Or appease him!
"Your Majesty, the heir to the empire, although he will fight after his heir appears, it will be limited to internal affairs and there will not be a big fight!"
"As long as we complete the layout of the empire within this time..."
Li Si knew very well that the reason why the First Emperor did this was for the safety of Fusu and others, because once Yingshu was angered, no one among Fusu and others could survive.
As a teacher of Ying Shu, he naturally knows how ruthless Ying Shu can be.
His tolerance towards Hu Hai now is entirely because of the First Emperor!
Once the moral shackles on Ying Shu are torn, death awaits Hu Hai and others.
This forced the First Emperor to save lives for Hu Hai and others!
The most complicated thing about this matter is that Ying Shu never took action from beginning to end, but was forced by Hu Hai. It happened that the First Emperor needed Ying Shu to protect the inheritance of the empire.
In this way, Ying Shu's safety is far superior to that of Hu Hai.
In other words, Hu Hai can die, but winning skills cannot!
After taking a sip of tea, the First Emperor chuckled and said: "As long as Xiao Shiba doesn't seek death, it should be a big problem, but I'm not worried about it, Fusu!"
"It's better for Li Qing and Wang Qing to worry less!"
Hearing this, Wang Wan and Li Si couldn't help but smile knowingly. They both had a good relationship with Ying Shu, and their relationship with Ying Shu was not as complicated as that of the First Emperor.
Naturally, it saves a lot of worry!
"Your Majesty, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"
Li Si poured tea for the First Emperor, explained, and said: "Your Majesty, you are not killing innocent people indiscriminately! You are definitely not a bloodthirsty person!"
