Chapter 142 Section 5 The Prestige of the Prime Minister

In Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai was in court, and the officials had finished their visits. Li Si said, "I haven't seen you for a few months. Your Majesty is much thinner. Please take care of your holy body and don't work too hard on state affairs." Li Si's words were full of sarcasm, so obvious that even the deaf could hear it.It was the heartfelt anger of an old statesman, the complaint of a founding father to the second emperor's hatred of iron. Although Li Si's words were harsh and straightforward, who told him to be qualified.Hu Hai couldn't get angry either, so he had to change the topic to the business, and said, "Prime Minister, there are many rebels, what can I do?"

Li Sidao, "Although there are many rebels, the heavens will punish them, so there is nothing to worry about for Your Majesty." Facing Li Si's run on, Hu Hai could only endure it.It was so hard for him to come to the court just once, and Li Si, who had been aggrieved for too long, of course had to take this opportunity to blow himself up before giving up. Hu Hai said with a wry smile, "The prime minister made a joke. The country is in danger now, so please come up with a plan." Li Si sternly said, "If Meng Tian is still here, why do you want the bandits to do this?" After speaking, he glared at Zhao Gao.The other ministers followed Li Si and looked at Zhao Gao.Under the trial of everyone's eyes, Zhao Gao was extremely embarrassed and wished he could disappear out of thin air.

A eunuch, Zhao Gao's confidant, was eager to protect his lord, pointed at Li Si, and said in a sharp voice, "Before the emperor, roaring is useless, but is it the way of a minister?" It's over, the volcano erupted.Li Si glared at the eunuch, and shouted, "I'm yelling like nothing? Say it again!" Li Si, who was in a rage, had white hair on his head and blazing anger in his eyes, like a mighty lion, which made people dare not look at him closely.The eunuch's face was pale, trembling all over, and he didn't dare to speak any more. Li Si refused to let go, and reprimanded, "Above the court is the place where state affairs are discussed, and you are an internal official, what crime should you have for making rash remarks?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Gao decisively decided to abandon his pawns to save the commander, and ordered the eunuch to be dragged down and beheaded. After a while, Lang Guan took the head of the eunuch and entered Xie Lisi.Only then did Li Si's expression soften. Li Si is majestic, compared to Hu Hai, who is sitting on pins and needles, but in front of the officials, he can only put on a broad-minded posture, saying, "The eunuch has subdued the law. Please put the state affairs first and share my worries .” After Li Si vented his anger, he felt a little more at ease, so he said, "The bandit soldiers stopped in Xiyi, because they didn't know the depth of the court, and dared not enter lightly. Once the bandit soldiers knew that Xianyang was empty, they would rush to attack. Leave it to Our time is running out, we must make a decisive decision and deal with it immediately. A single minister can take on the heavy responsibility of hunting down thieves."

Hu Hai asked, "Who?" Li Sidao, "Young Mansion Zhanghan." Once Li Si's favorite was released, all the officials were surprised.The Shaofu is in charge of the tax of Shanzepochi, which is called forbidden money, to be raised privately, and not to be hidden.In other words, the official position of the Shaofu is equivalent to the Minister of Finance of the court, which has nothing to do with leading troops to fight.This kind of official is a first-class expert in corruption, but if he is really asked to lead the army in the front line, it will make people feel unreliable.

Hu Hai also felt the same way, saying, "I'm afraid the Shaofu will not be able to take on the task of hunting for thieves, so we should choose another person who is accustomed to the army." Li Sidao, "The old minister has been in power for many years, and he knows a lot about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Zhang Han taught his career to Wei Weiliao in his old country, and he has learned the true art of war. He will be able to win the task of hunting down thieves." Zhang Han was also present at the court meeting at that time, and Hu Haiyin asked, "What's the trick of the Shaofu?"

Zhang Handao said, "The robbers have arrived, and all the strong ones are now too close to the county. There are many disciples in Lishan, please forgive them, and send troops to attack them." Hu Hai muttered in a low voice, "The disciples of Li Shan are currently repairing the Afang Palace, please forgive me." Li Si said loudly in His Royal Highness, "The state is critical, please make a quick decision, Your Majesty." Hu Hai looked at Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao knew that public anger was hard to offend, and the truth was all on Li Si's side, so he nodded quietly.
