Chapter 124 The second quarter is wrong

Sure enough, as Zhao Gao expected, he didn't need to see Li Si, Li Si had already come to him on his own initiative.It's just that when Li Sizhi came, his face was covered with frost and menacing, and he never took him seriously. Li Si was terrified all night, with a premonition that something ominous was about to happen.When the eunuch came to inform him, when he saw the eunuch's expression, he knew in his heart that something happened, something big happened!Without waiting for the eunuch to speak, he went straight to Yingzheng's bedroom. Ying Zheng lay quietly with his eyes closed, the blood on his face had receded, and his face was slightly distorted.Li Si couldn't stop his knees from going limp, and knelt down, ignoring the attention of the eunuchs on the left and right, covering his face and crying bitterly.

The eunuch quit, we can't cry, you can cry, and you cry so loudly.But they can't help it.With Ying Zheng gone, the empire is currently the largest in Li Si. Li Si's gray head trembled on his old shoulders. This was the first time in many years that he shed tears.He has served Yingzheng for more than 30 years. He is both a monarch and a minister, a teacher and a friend, and his feelings are deep.For more than 30 years, he has long been used to centering on Yingzheng, thinking what Yingzheng thinks, and planning what Yingzheng wants to do.Now that there is a sudden separation between yin and yang, even if there are thousands of lines of tears, how can it be enough to express his confusion and sadness at the moment?

Li Si slowly stopped crying and calmed down.As soon as Yingzheng left, as the prime minister, the fate of the empire rested on his shoulders.He must lead the people to get through this crisis safely, and then hand over the empire to the heir appointed by Ying Zheng.This is his right, but also his obligation, and it is what Ying Zheng Zai Tian's spirit expects of him. Li Si wiped away his tears and asked the eunuch, "Did the emperor leave a will?" The eunuch replied, "Order Zhao Gao at the CRRC mansion. Order the young master to help Su go back to Xianyang for the funeral."

Li Si nodded. In this way, Fusu is Yingzheng's designated successor.So he went to see Zhao Gao and asked straight away, "Where is the emperor's edict?" Zhao Gao is the order of the CRRC Mansion, and he is only an internal official. He is far from being able to compete with Prime Minister Li Si in terms of emotion, reason, law, and power.Since Li Si asked for Yingzheng's will, he absolutely could not refuse to hand it over.Zhao Gao was undoubtedly prepared for this, and pretended to say, "The edict is at the place of Young Master Hu Hai." Li Si was furious, and said, "You are the order of the CRRC government, and you also carry out the seal order. It is your great responsibility to be in charge of the Yuxi imperial edict. The edict is related to the whole world, and you should guard the good collection carefully. There is no reason to delegate it lightly to others! "

Li Si was about to leave before he asked Hu Hai for the edict, Zhao Gao said, "Prime Minister, please stay still. This is an extraordinary time, and I have something to say, dare to report it." Li Si said impatiently, "Say." Zhao Gaodao: "Shangbeng, give the eldest son a letter, and establish him as heir with Xianyang at the funeral. The book has not been written, and now Shangbeng, no one knows. The crown prince will be in the mouth of the king and Gao. What will happen?" Li Si suddenly changed his face and said: "An De's words of subjugation! This is not something that should be discussed by a minister!"

Zhao Gao is like a game player with a strategy in hand, full of confidence, he said to Li Sidao: "Your Majesty thinks who is better than Meng Tian? Who is more successful than Meng Tian? Who is better than Meng Tian if you want to go far? Who is Meng Tian if you have no complaints in the world Meng Tian? Meng Tian, ​​the eldest son who is old but trusts?" Li Si glared at Zhao Gao coldly, and said sharply, "In your opinion, who is Meng Tian in terms of my ability? Meng Tian, ​​who is more successful? And who is the one to believe in or Meng Tian?" Li Si's sharp rhetorical question caught Zhao Gao off guard. He froze on the spot and couldn't believe his ears. After a while, he murmured, "Meng Tian is not as good as the prime minister among the first four."

Li Si said with a sneer, "I have assisted the emperor in pacifying the world and governing the country for more than 30 years. I am not proud of myself. In terms of merit and ability, who can compare with the ministers of the court? Even if you go back to ancient times, how many people can compare? Meng Tian is an old official of my sect, even if Meng Tian is in front of me, he will not dare to put himself above me. You have been in the court for many years, and you are considered to be familiar with government affairs, but you compare Meng Tian to me, and make such inhumane words, isn't it ridiculous? After finishing speaking, he stared at Zhao Gao again, and said sarcastically, "Do you want to say something about me? You want to say something about me, but you make a mistake the moment you say it. Is that the end of it?"

Zhao Gao replied, "What I just said is the original text of Sima Qian's "Historical Records". According to Sima Qian's records, the prince should have answered like this..." Li Si interrupted Zhao Gao unceremoniously, and said, "Are you from Qin or Han? Should Sima Qian judge you, or should you judge Sima Qian? As a Qin native, you were a minister of my dynasty. But make an inhospitable comparison, arbitrarily judging the superiority between me and Meng Tian, ​​and the king's ability can be known from this. When Shang collapsed outside, I was in the prime minister, and the responsibility of supervising the country is unshakable. You intend to recite the emperor's edict and make Hu Hai the crown prince. The crime of being a minister is nothing greater than this. As long as I give an order, your head will fall to the ground immediately, and the three clans will be wiped out."

At this moment, Li Si was in absolute strength, as he said, to take Zhao Gao's life, he only needed to say one word.Zhao Gao broke into a cold sweat and said, "Please give me another chance, Junhou." Li Sidao, "I have said countless people in my life, and all of them have been successful. If you want to say something about me, you have to think carefully. If you can't say it, you will die."
