Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven

Li Si knew that it was not that Ying Zheng couldn't bear to reduce the power of the clan, but that the risk was too great, he was afraid, and the time was not ripe.The power of the clan is deeply entrenched and should not be underestimated.The abolition of the expulsion order has already dealt a heavy blow to the clan. If further actions are taken in a hurry, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not rebound strongly. Ying Zheng allowed Li Siguan to return to his post, which indicated that in this gamble, Li Si had successfully turned his fortune.Li Si did not kowtow to thank you, but said: "My king is wise. Apart from the order to drive away the guests, it is also the blessing of the guests and the blessing of the country. I am bold, please leave the guest."

Ying Zheng was greatly surprised and said, "Why?" Li Sidao: "The clan knows that because of the minister's remonstrance, the king will cancel the order to expel the guests. He will be unhappy and even secretly angry. I would like to ask you to resign from the guest. On the one hand, it means that the remonstrance has nothing to do with selfishness, it is only for the state of Qin, and it may have the effect of appeasing the clan. The second thing is to stop because of the minister, and the minister will leave to give a balance to the clan. If it is beneficial to the king, even if the minister is away, he will have no hatred." As he spoke, Li Si seemed to be moved by himself.What a realm, what an elegant way to flick your clothes away, and hide your achievements and fame deeply.At this moment, even if Ying Zheng didn't keep him and let him go, Li Si felt that he could have no regrets in a sacred way.

Li Si moved himself, but failed to move Ying Zheng.Ying Zheng just asked calmly: "Mr. resigned as guest minister, who can succeed Mr.?" Li Si replied: "There is no need to re-establish the position of guest minister, it can be abolished. The word guest has the meaning of separation, which shows that the world has a distinction between guest and host, and there is a difference between inside and outside. Although foreign guests return today, it is inevitable to have doubts and disbelief in my heart." , Frightened and frightened. Your Majesty should calm down and strengthen your aspirations. From now on, there will be no talk of outsiders, and all people will be regarded as Qin people."

Ying Zheng sighed: "Sir, you have great insight and considerate considerations. I want to be taught, and I dare not obey orders." Ying Zheng called in the Minister's Order and ordered to draw up an imperial edict.Yingzheng said: "Li Si came to Qin for more than nine years; he assisted me and tried his best; he was a good minister when he planned wonderful strategies; he was loyal to the emperor when he was strong and outspoken. Please. The thigh is broken, and I feel sorry for it." Ying Zheng opened his mouth and approved Li Si's resignation application.You are not joking, it is impossible for Li Si to return to the position of guest minister.Li Si prostrated himself on the ground, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, whether he regretted his impulsiveness or not.

There was a long silence, and then I heard Ying Zheng continue: "The six countries are looking at each other now, and the world is still uncertain. This is the time when the virtuous are urgently needed. Li Sizhi's failure of Kuangjun is enough to stabilize the country and the country. I have long wanted to give it to you." This is the right time for a great appointment. The imperial edict said: "Take Li Si as the court lieutenant." Ting Wei, who is in charge of Xing Pi, is the highest judicial chief of Qin State.The Qin State has always ruled the country by law, so the post of court lieutenant is particularly prominent, second only to the three princes in power, and ranks first among the nine ministers.Li Si lost the Keqing and received the Tingwei. Calculated in this way, he not only succeeded in making money, but also made a lot of money.

Ying Zheng's change of mind made Li Si go through a journey from hell to heaven.Li Si also knew that Ying Zheng had given him too much today, and it would be too much to ask Ying Zheng any more, and it would even arouse Ying Zheng's resentment.However, Li Si didn't accept it as soon as he saw it.He still has one thing on his mind, he wants to keep his promise and save Zheng Guo, he can't leave Zheng Guo's life and death alone.Li Si then said: "The order to chase away guests was all caused by Zheng Guo alone. I don't know where he is now?" Yingzheng said: "Zheng Guo spent my money and people's strength. He was punished according to the law for Han's work. It has been scheduled to be punished ten days later. Why do you ask this question?"

Li Sidao: "I also know a little bit about Zheng Guo's affairs. I'm sorry, although Zheng Guo is an intermediary, the Guanzhong Water Canal will cost a lot of money and use the people's power, so we can't give up halfway. However, if you want to complete your work, Zheng Guo can't do it. .I hope that the king will grant him extra-judicial grace, and give him a special pardon, allowing him to take his crimes and make meritorious deeds." Yingzheng said: "Mr. is well versed in the law and good at managing prisons. You should know that the king is merciful, so he respects the law. Besides, the case of Zheng Guo was handled by the clan alone. There is no law for trial and punishment. There is something to be picky about. The widow first removed the order to expel the guests, which is already an embarrassment to the clan. If Zheng Guo is pardoned again, the clan's face will not be preserved, and this is not what I want."

Li Si still wanted to speak, but Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "Sir, I'm tired of thinking about it after traveling all the way, and I'll go back to the mansion to rest, and we can discuss things later." Li Si then Xie En resigned.The temporary setback in the case of Zheng Guo did not affect Li Si's good mood.Today is really a dream day, a magical day.In just a few hours, he went from being bankrupt in his official career to returning to being a guest official, and then from being an official to a guest official to being promoted to a court lieutenant.Great sorrow and then great joy, wronged and then proud.Li Si, who has always been calm, can't restrain his inner ecstasy in the face of this qualitative leap in his career.
