Chapter 73 Chapter Eleven

The goddess of fate began to smile at Li Si, and the door of power was opened to him.In Li Si's view, the moon in Xianyang is rounder and larger than that in his hometown.In Chang Shi's seat, Li Si Niu Ding cooked chicken, and his life went smoothly.He has no grievances about being overqualified, and he is extraordinarily enthusiastic and diligent in his work. For the boss, there are only small employees, not small positions.For the monarch, there are only small officials and no small official positions.Li Si may not really love his current job, but he knows that his every move cannot escape Ying Zheng's eyes.Ying Zheng watched him secretly and assessed him.

The grass is green and the frost is white, and the sun goes west and the moon goes back to the east.In a blink of an eye, it has been seven years since Yingzheng. This year, Ying Zheng was twenty years old.Li Si is thirty-seven years old. According to Dante, the culmination of his life has just passed two years.For politicians, this age is the critical period of official career.Generally speaking, how far a person can go in his official career and how high his seat can be, by this time, he should already be able to see a clue.As Confucius said: Forty or fifty and no news, there is nothing to be afraid of.

A person who is destined to make great achievements in his official career, at this age, the stage of primitive accumulation has basically been completed.He should have become the chief of the area. In his enclosure, he has shown impressive but not all talents. He has rich and stable high-level connections, established his own good reputation, and has friends and friends commensurate with his status. enemies, and the latter is often more important than the former. In short, so far, the above symptoms have all been reflected in Li Si.His future is bright and his potential is huge.Every morning when Li Si got up and looked in the mirror, he would cheer himself up like this: Li Si, I am optimistic about you.

During the four years of his tenure as Changshi, what political achievements Li Si has made are not recorded in history books, and it is inconvenient for us to speculate.But it is conceivable that in these four years, he has strengthened himself very well. Within the responsibilities of every official, there are more or less gray areas that are difficult to define.These gray areas may be land of no man, or it may be a land of disputes among officials.Occupying these gray areas and declaring them as your own exclusive territory means possessing more power, which means you can be promoted to a higher level without being promoted.

Li Si cautiously expanded the scope of the post of Chang Shi, and on the premise that he would not offend Ying Zheng, he used the platform of Chang Shi to open up a new land of power.He made himself more and more important by making the post of long history more and more important. Li Si already had a group of followers. His deadly assassins had become a military force that could not be ignored.As a senior official of the military system, he also proved his worth with his military exploits (effective assassination operations and intelligence work), and gained the trust of the most xenophobic military system.

For four years, the local wars between Qin and the Six Kingdoms have not stopped.But what Li Si paid more attention to was the struggle within Qin. The contest between Lu Buwei and Lai Ai is still going on, and with the support of the empress dowager, a virtuous housemate, Lai Ai gradually gains the upper hand in the contest.When two tigers fight, one of them is bound to be injured.People in the ruling and opposition parties are in panic.Officials, big and small, are either Lu faction or Lao faction.If you are neither, you are ashamed to greet people, because it only shows that you are not good enough.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the struggle between Lu Buwei and Lao Ai has reached a very dangerous level.The two sides are at war with each other, and they are just waiting for a suitable opportunity or excuse.

What puzzled Li Si was that Ying Zheng seemed to only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack.Li Si was even a little disheartened.Did he misread Ying Zheng?Or, is Ying Zheng holding cards that he doesn't know about, that's why he's so safe and calm? Li Si had a strong feeling that Ying Zheng had been training him.Without Ying Zheng's deliberate cultivation, it is impossible for him to establish his qualifications and prestige in the military system so quickly.There should always be an explanation for all the hard work.
