Chapter 42 Liz, Best Screenplay, Section 1

Lu Buwei hasn't chatted with Li Si for a long time.This seemed to be a signal that Li Si had fallen out of favor in front of Xiangguo, so when the Sheren saw Li Si, they were no longer as polite as they used to be.Li Si laughed it off and didn't care about it.He knew that Lu Buwei was only temporarily ignoring him, not for any other reason, but because Lu Buwei needed to digest his resentment towards Li Si slowly.There was nothing Li Si could do about it. Justifying would only make the situation worse. He had no choice but to wait. Li Si was not wrong, Lu Buwei did hold a grudge against Li Si.It can be said that the troubles that happened recently were all caused by Li Si.The first is Lai Ai.Now relying on the power of the Queen Mother, Lao Ai no longer takes him seriously as a Prime Minister, and is launching fierce challenges to him both openly and secretly. His position as the most powerful person in the Qin Kingdom is already in jeopardy.Although Lai Ai was a poisonous snake raised by himself, it was Li Si who brought Lai Ai to him after all.Without Li Si's meddling, Lao Ai would never be where she is today, and neither would Lu Buwei.The second is Gan Luo.Lu Buwei loved his adopted son very much. If Li Si hadn't tried his best to recommend Gan Luo in front of him at that time, then it would be Li Si who died now, not Gan Luo.When a white-haired man kills a black-haired man, he has no choice but to feel the pain.The death of Gan Luo means that Lu Buwei not only lost a son, but also lost one of his most powerful right-hand men.Lu Buwei also knew in his heart that in fact everything was caused by himself, but people have the instinct to alleviate their guilt, so they are used to entrusting others.Lu Buwei sought inner balance by blaming Li Si.What Lu Buwei didn't expect was that he didn't blame the wrong person at all. Li Si had designed such a plot long ago, and he just acted according to the script written by Li Si.

Li Si knew that the reason why he was still alive and was not killed by Lu Buwei to vent his anger was not only because of his outstanding talent, but also because of the loyalty he showed to Lu Buwei when he refused Lai Ai's invitation several times.Li Si has been waiting in Xiangguo Mansion for two years.He didn't care about waiting until Lu Buwei forgot his resentment towards him.He had a hunch that the wait was coming to an end and he would be called.Li Si's confidence comes from his judgment of the current situation in Qin. As mentioned earlier, when Li Si decided to sell Lao Ai to Lu Buwei, he had already drawn up a blueprint for the future state of Qin with three pillars.Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, and the King of Qin are each on their own feet, restraining each other and fighting each other.Now, a tripartite situation has formed, much earlier than he expected.Needless to say, Lu Buwei, the upstart Lai Ai's power has skyrocketed and he is aggressive.King Yingzheng of Qin hides his secrets, but it can be seen from the fear of Lu Buwei and the queen mother towards him that his strength must not be underestimated.

Three asses are obviously too crowded for the highest seat of power.Everyone wants to occupy the throne alone and kick the other two down.Lai Ai can't wait to start taking action. He has thousands of family members, more than a thousand people in the house, and cleans up the original court officials. .It is impossible for Lu Buwei to remain indifferent. As a person in the officialdom, he naturally knows what will happen once power is lost.If Lu Buwei didn't come to Li Si, Li Si was happy to wait and see what happened. Anyway, no matter whether Lu Buwei's strategy was offensive or defensive, Li Si's role was indispensable.Therefore, it's fine if Lu Buwei doesn't invite him to chat, once he invites him, he will undoubtedly entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
