Chapter 6 The fifth chapter is out of Xianyang

After Nixon, the thirty-seventh president of the United States, resigned due to the Watergate incident, he once said with emotion, "When I left the Oval Office, I discovered who my true friends are." Li Si and Nixon also had the same emotion. He left Xianyang It was getting farther and farther away, and none of his so-called friends who were still in Xianyang came to see him off.Treat people with sex, and if the color fades, love will be relaxed; if power is handed over to people, if power fails, then death will be handed over.The downtrodden official is like a patient with an infectious disease to his former colleagues who are still in power, so they want to draw a clear line with him, lest they avoid it.Although Li Si was sad, he didn't regret it.He knew that as long as he regained power, these friends would have the cheek to come back again.

Li Si lost his status and friends, but he still has enough capital.He holds a large amount of Qin State's secrets, and the entire Qin State's intelligence system is still intact in his mind.He knows exactly which secret agents of Qin State are lurking in the six countries, and which bureaucrats of the six countries have been bought by Qin State.Leaving aside his fame and talent, based on the secrets he has mastered, re-employment is not a problem at all. Whichever country he chooses to go to, shouldn't the country's monarch be overjoyed and welcome him? However, if Moses can escape from Egypt safely, can Li Si also pass through Qin safely?The reason why Li Si is still alive is because Ying Zheng and the clan have not yet come to their senses, and when they do, they will definitely kill Li Si to silence them.Or, Yingzheng and the clan have awakened, and the killer has been dispatched.Maybe, the killer is chasing after him from Xianyang, or he has already ambushed among the crowd, or maybe, the killer is just ahead of the road, waiting for him to throw himself into the trap.

Li Si walked slowly, full of thoughts.A young man in his twenties caught up with Li Si from behind and walked side by side with Li Si.Li Si went on his own, not paying attention to the young man.This young man's name is Wu Gong, he is from the same town as Li Si, and he has just come to join Li Si from his hometown in Shangcai.Li Si cared about the friendship of his fellow countrymen, and treated him as a family member, treating him like a son, and often taught him personally.Wu Gong followed Li Si for more than a mile, seeing that Li Si still ignored him, he couldn't help but said, "Sir, are we going back to Shangcai like this?" Li Si seemed to have never heard of it, noncommittal.Wu Gong asked again, "Have you ever written anything because of the order to evict guests?" Li Si shook his head.Wu Gong stopped Li Si, and said, "Sir, let's write something. King Qin has always liked to read Mr.'s articles." Li Si did not answer, bypassing Wu Gong and continued on his way.

This Duke of Wu is also famous in later generations.Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty was established at the beginning, because Wu Gong had been passed down by Li Si himself, so he was enlisted as a court captain.Ting Wei is exactly the official position that Li Si has held for 24 years, and Li Si has almost become synonymous with Ting Wei.And Wu Gong has another disciple who enjoys a great name—the genius boy Jia Yi.Jia Yi attributed all the failures of Qin Zheng to the first emperor and the second emperor in his famous "On the Passing of Qin Dynasty", which is not as good as Li Si's fault. The motivation is whether he and Li Si have such a special relationship between teachers and apprentices. So taboo for the venerable?Today is unknown.

Not a moment later, Duke Wu caught up with Li Si again, and said persistently, "Mr., please remonstrate with the King of Qin." Li Si stopped in his tracks and said, "The boy is annoying me, go quickly." Wu Gong didn't care, raised his voice, and repeated: "Please advise the King of Qin, sir." Li Sidao: "Do you know what I'm thinking, kid? I think Mao Jiao also. Mao Jiao once said that once he was an official, his body was like a piece of goods in the emperor's house, and he would not belong to me again. His eyebrows and waist were broken, and he was worried about gains and losses. It was rare to be happy." Color, why bother! Mao Jiao’s words, thinking about it today, are especially vigilant. Back to Shangcai, surrounded by mountains and rivers, building a house and living in a house, the rest of my life is leisurely, carefree in the nature of the farm, what a joy!”

Wu Gong said: "Mister, please look back." Li Si turned around, even though he had great concentration, he couldn't help but be surprised.At some point, the foreign tourists walking together on the road knelt together, stretching for several miles like toppled dominoes. Wu Gong said to Li Si again, "Although Mr. can take good care of himself alone, the people in front of Mr. are bankrupt. Although they have their homeland, they can't return. All their hopes are only on Mr. Mr.'s decision depends on you." It is not only the fate of you alone, but also the fate of the poor people before you. Whether they live or die, whether they are happy or miserable, all depend on Mr. Mr. He is eloquent, talented, and has always been trusted by the king. As Mr. Admonishment will definitely bring order out of chaos, and they will all return to chase away guests. Those innocent people have suffered disasters and cannot save themselves, Mr. Zhai has a kind heart, and he can bear to abandon them and ignore them!"

With a glance, Li Si saw a white-haired old man kneeling, a child with a runny nose, a woman with disheveled hair, and a strong man with a sad and angry face.They looked up at Li Si, their gloomy eyes were full of begging and anticipation.Here and now, these exiled outsiders spontaneously formed a temporary group and asked Li Si to be their leader and their Moses.Li Si's eyes couldn't help getting wet, and he hurriedly called everyone to stand up, and sighed: "Li Si's pain is the same as that of all kings. The reason why Li Si doesn't remonstrate is that he dares to cherish pen and ink, but it's easy to write remonstrance books, but hard to entrust envoys. We wait The rivers and lakes are far away, and there is no way to call; above the temple, the clan is in charge. The letter of remonstrance must not be presented to the king, but it will be a disaster for us."

Everyone despaired.That's right, even if Li Si wrote a letter of remonstrance, he couldn't send it out at all.Even if he was lucky enough to send it out, it would not reach Ying Zheng's hands.Once the remonstrance book falls into the hands of the clan, which arouses the anger of the clan, the situation of these chasing guests will only become more miserable. Seeing the foreign guests knelt together, the military officials were worried that there would be a change, so they beat and cursed, scolded them to get up, and urged them to hurry.Just when the people didn't know what the trick was, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind them, rushing straight like wind and thunder.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, puzzled and uneasy, not knowing whether it was bad or good.
