Chapter 151 Li Si's final counterattack in the second quarter

It was not easy to encounter an assassination, but there was loud thunder and little rain, so there was no surprise or danger.After Zhao Gao returned to the mansion, he felt that he was not satisfied, so he summoned a confidant, handed him a sword, pointed at his stomach, and said, "Pierce me." His confidantes were horrified, not knowing what Zhao Gao's intention was, and they firmly refused. Zhao Gao said displeased, "If you are told to stab, you will stab." The confidant was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "I don't dare, I beg the master to spare me."

Zhao Gaodao, "Don't be afraid, just stab. Instead of blaming you, I will reward you." The confidant boldly said, "Then I will stab him." Saying that, he raised his sword and slowly stabbed at Zhao Gao's stomach. Zhao Gao was furious and said, "You can't be happier!" The confidant was sweating profusely, so he could only sway his heart, close his eyes, and stab out with a sword. Zhao Gao remained motionless.A sword piercing the belly is like wearing leather.Zhao Gao was in great pain, jumped up and down, screamed strangely, and shouted, "You really can do it." After speaking, he drew out his sword, cut off the head of his confidant with one sword, and then called the medical officer to come to take care of him. .

Let's talk about Zhengxian's death, and it was such a destructive way of death, which shocked the government and the public, and everyone was in danger.As a result, Zhao Gao's power grew even stronger, and no one dared to challenge him directly. Li Si smelled blood and became more and more uneasy.In a few days, I received a letter from my eldest son Li You from Sanchuan, complaining that the imperial court sent envoys to supervise the army, which prevented him from being free. The imperial court sent envoys to monitor Li You, but Li Si didn't know about it.It seems that Zhao Gao must be playing tricks without telling him, and his purpose couldn't be more obvious, that is to find and collect evidence of Li You's collusion with the enemy.

Li Si originally thought that he and Zhao Gao had reached a consensus, and that Li Yousanchuan's collusion with the enemy should be ignored.Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao changed his face when he turned around, and wanted to make a big fuss about Li Youlai.Li You did not cooperate with the enemy, Li Si knew this very well.But Li Si knew better that there was no such thing as criminal evidence, and there was no such thing as evidence. If it was impossible to find it, it could be fabricated. Once Zhao Gao finds or fabricates evidence of Li You collaborating with the enemy, it will be enough to kill Li Si's family.Now that the matter had come to this, Li Si had no choice but to fight back.

Unfortunately, Li Si had already missed the opportunity.Zhao Gao's pressing, coupled with his own cooperation, has greatly reduced his strength.Today, he is unable to initiate a martial fight, so he can only choose Wendou. So, taking advantage of Hu Hai coming to Ganquan Palace to play and play, and Zhao Gao was not with Hu Hai, Li Si took advantage of the cover of the night to secretly come to Ganquan Palace to ask for an audience. Hu Hai refused to meet as usual.Fortunately, Li Si was prepared with both hands. He took out the memorial he had already written and ordered the eunuch to convey it.

The memorial reads, "When I heard it, ministers doubted their lords, and they all endangered the country; concubines doubted their husbands, and all endangered their families. Today, there are ministers who do harm to your majesty, just like your majesty. This is very inconvenient. In the past, the city Zihan was prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He punished himself and acted with prestige. He robbed his king after a period of time. Tian Chang was a minister of Jian, and his rank was invincible in the country. A group of ministers took the state of Qi secretly, and killed it in the court. That is to say, Duke Jian was killed in the court, and then there was the state of Qi. This is well known to the world. Today, Zhao Gao has evil ambitions, and he is in danger of rebellion, just like Zihan's prime minister in the Song Dynasty Also; the wealth of a private family is like that of the Tian family in Qi Ye. If Tian Chang and Zihan go against the way and rob your majesty's prestige, if your majesty does not plan, I am afraid that it will become a change."

Li Si's memorial no longer bothered to cover up at the very least, but directly named Zhao Gao, pointing out that he had the intention of rebellion.Hu Hai had a lot of trust in Zhao Gao, and he couldn't allow others to speak ill of Zhao Gao, so Xuan Lisi came in and asked, "Why? , Do good deeds, make yourself so far, advance with loyalty, keep the position with trust, I am truly worthy, but the king doubts it, why? And I rarely lose my ancestors, I don’t know anything, I don’t know how to govern the people, and the king is old I am afraid that I will be cut off from the world. I do not belong to Mr. Zhao, so who should be in charge? Besides, Mr. Zhao is honest and powerful, he knows people’s feelings from below, and can suit me from above, so don’t doubt him.”

Hu Hai's words were very serious, and the meaning was very clear: You, Li Si, are old and have few days to live, so you can't help me. I don't trust Zhao Gao, who else can I trust? From this point of view, in Hu Hai's heart, as soon as Li Si died, he would immediately arrange for Zhao Gao to take over Li Si's class.Zhao Gaoshi was the doctor's order, and he was already lawless and wanton.If he is allowed to be the prime minister again, and he can justifiably control the power of the government, the consequences will be even more unimaginable. Li Si couldn't allow such a thing to happen, and argued loudly: "No way. Zhao Gao, a slut, is ignorant of reason, greedy, endlessly seeking profit, second in power, and endlessly seeking, so I call it dead .”

Hu Hai interrupted Li Si and said, "Prime Minister, you don't need to say anything more, I don't like to hear these things." After speaking, he got up in a huff and wanted to leave. Li Si knew that after Hu Hai left, he would have to wait until the next time he wanted to see him again. He felt anxious, and shouted loudly at Hu Hai's back, "Your Majesty, stay here, I still have something to say." Hu Hai turned his head in surprise, and said impatiently, "Speak." Li Si's lips trembled, but he didn't know what to say.He originally planned to expose Zhao Gao's secret possession of Yingzheng's will, but on second thought, if it were revealed, Zhao Gao would definitely deny it, and he couldn't produce conclusive evidence to prove that Zhao Gao was lying.At that time, there was no tape recorder, which could record the conversations Zhao Gao threatened him at that time.Furthermore, the conspiracy of the sand dunes is also quite taboo by Hu Hai, it is neither honorable nor proper, it is best for everyone to pretend that it never happened, and no one should mention it.

Seeing that Li Si didn't answer, Hu Hai asked, "What does the prime minister want to say?" Li Si lowered his head and sighed, "I have already forgotten." Hu Hai laughed and said, "Prime Minister forgets things so quickly, probably because he is really old." Li Si got nothing, and returned to the house in dismay, full of frustration in his heart.Back in the day, facing the powerful and wise Ying Zheng, Li Si could always listen to his words and follow his advice.But now, facing a stupid and dull Hu Hai, Li Si was helpless and helpless.Li Si couldn't help but miss Ying Zheng especially, their intimacy, and their relationship between the monarch and his ministers.In the past, Li Si was so proud that he secretly thought that Ying Zheng was lucky to have a minister like him.Now that Hu Hai became the emperor, Li Si truly realized that it should be Li Si's blessing to find a monarch like Ying Zheng.

However, no amount of thinking would bring Ying Zheng back to life.The dead are like this, but life will go on.
