Chapter 80 Which comes first in the seventh quarter?

Of course, those who only know how to exploit and exploit blindly are capitalists, not politicians.For Lai Ai and Lu Buwei, it is necessary to cut while pulling, and pull while cutting.Yang bestows its vain title, while Yin seizes its real power.Hitting and rubbing like this, even if he was angry, he couldn't find a suitable excuse to attack. The topic of the two went further.Yingzheng asked: "If you want to get rid of Lai and Lu, which one should be the first and which should be the last, which one should be urgent and which one should be slow?" Li Si replied without hesitation: "Take Lao Ai as the most urgent thing."

Comparing Lai Ai and Lu Buwei, it is undoubtedly that Lai Ai is more likely to rebel.Based on what Li Si knew about Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei had no intention of treason, otherwise he wouldn't have listened to his foolishness, pretended to be a cultural person, and compiled "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". It is undeniable that Lu Buwei has made great contributions to Qin, especially Ying Zhengli. Without Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng would not be where he is today.Therefore, his power and status are well deserved. The ministers are satisfied and the common people are convinced. Even Ying Zheng has nothing to say about it.Lu Buwei did not choose to rebel, and with his merits, it is theoretically possible to die well.

Besides, even if Lu Buwei really wanted to rebel, he wouldn't wait until today.Treason, like baseness, is an instinct, not a whim.If you want to visualize this rebellious instinct, it is anti-bone.Anatomically, this bone cannot be found, but psychologically, this bone really exists.Zhuge Liang said that Wei Yan had rebellious bones in the back of his head. Although it is a novelist's novel, there is no lack of profound truth in it. Lai Ai is different from Lu Buwei. He did not make any contribution in Qin, but he ascended to the sky in one step and occupied a high position, all thanks to the strong support of the Queen Mother.Although there are many people who cling to him, there are even more people who hate his success as a villain and hope to see him ruined.After all, his foundation and popularity cannot be compared with Lu Buwei.Lu Buwei is a hero, but he, Lao Ai, is just a favorite.

Of course, Li Si did not mention the real reason why Lai Ai would finally embark on the road of rebellion to Ying Zheng.It's not that I don't want to, but I dare not.He knew that one day, someone would tell Ying Zheng this secret, but he knew very well that the idiot who told the story and was destined to be unpleasing would definitely not be Li Si. Back then, the reason why the queen mother left Xianyang was because she was pregnant with Lao Ai's child.Four years have passed, and with Lai Ai's sexual ability, the Empress Dowager's belly must have grown several times.The promiscuous queen mother gave birth to evil seeds, once the incident happened, she would definitely die.In order to protect herself, Lao Ai can only choose to rebel, or she can fight for a chance.At that time, the queen mother's position will be more embarrassing, and she must make a choice between Ying Zheng and Lao Ai.If there is Yingzheng, there will be no Lai Ai, and if there is Lai Ai, there will be no Yingzheng.As for what choice the queen mother will make at that time, Li Si is still not sure.

Ying Zheng asked again: "In my opinion, when is the best time to get rid of the two?" This is very difficult to say.There are too many uncertainties.Li Si can only estimate roughly, it will always be between three and five years. Ying Zheng said sharply, three to five years is too long, at most two years.Two years later, the widow will perform the crown ceremony and formally take charge of the government.After the widow wears the crown, I don't want anyone to stand in front of the widow. The meeting between Ying Zheng and Li Si continued until late at night.Of course, the above mentioned is only a small part of their conversation.For the rest of the conversation, let future events unfold naturally.

After this long conversation, the relationship between the two people has been greatly sublimated.If the word friendship can also be applied to the monarch, then Ying Zheng gave Li Si his friendship at this moment. It is said that there are four kinds of relationships between people that are the strongest: they went to the window together, went to prostitution together, shared the spoils together, and carried guns together.However, iron is also divided into grades, such as tinplate, cast iron, pig iron, etc., which cannot be generalized.These four relationships also exist in Li Si.It was Han Fei who went to school with him, Lao Ai who went whoring with him, and Zhao Gao who shared the spoils with him.And by dealing with Lai and Lu together, he has also carried the gun with Ying Zheng to a certain extent.However, thinking about their respective endings, one can't help lamenting that iron is only suitable as a machete after all, not a bond.

From today onwards, the first cooperation in the true sense between Ying Zheng and Li Si, two unknown characters.And their close cooperative relationship lasted for nearly thirty years in the future.
