Chapter 148 Section 3 Yingzheng's Anger

As soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth, Yan Xie naturally had to borrow his head, and he didn't even dare to ask when.Ying Zheng coughed lightly, and Lang Zhong Ling Wang Wan led two Lang officials to step forward and take Yan Xie under custody.Ying Zheng gave Wang Wan a few more instructions.So Yan Xie's body was dumped in the market, and Wang Wan set up the scene to look like he was robbed and killed by thieves. Yingzheng summoned Li Si again overnight.Before Li Si entered the main hall, he heard Ying Zheng's scolding from a distance.Ying Zheng scolded Lai Ai, and then Lu Buwei, his expression was agitated and angry, his tall body was swaying, his hands and feet were dancing, and his movements were almost out of control.Li Si waited silently, not daring to disturb.

Seeing Li Si, Ying Zheng seemed to have finally found someone to confide in. He swooped over and grabbed Li Si, and said eagerly, "Lao Ai is not an eunuch, she is a fraudulent punishment, does Ke Qing know? Lai Ai served the Queen Mother privately and had two sons." Does the guest know? Lai Ai wants to make his second son the king of Qin, does the guest know?" Li Si naturally couldn't admit that he knew even if he was beaten to death, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing?" "Doctor Yan Xie told me just now, otherwise, I would still be in the dark." Ying Zheng then repeated Yan Xie's words.

Li Si asked, "Where is Dr. Yan Xie now?" "It has been handed over to Wang Wan. Yan Xie can't stay in the palace, if he stays there, he will be suspected by Lai Ai. Yan Xie can't live outside the palace, because if he lives, he will easily leak words to widows." Li Sidao: "My king makes a decisive decision when he sees the opportunity. Yan Xie and Lao Ai colluded, and death is not a pity." Ying Zheng said: "Lao Ai pretended to be an eunuch and served the Empress Dowager for seven years. She has bred two evil species successively, but I don't know anything about it. The guest minister is also the long history, and she is the eyes and ears of the widow. Why is she so ignorant? "

Li Si saw that Ying Zheng took advantage of the thunderstorm and blamed him, he knew that he could never justify, the more he defended, the worse it would be.So he knelt in fear and said, "I'm guilty of death. I'm guilty of death." Li Si's acting skills are excellent, and Ying Zheng didn't realize his hypocrisy. His tone softened a bit, and he helped Li Si, and comforted him with words: "The widow is so angry that he speaks indiscriminately. You are not to blame. The queen mother's palace is not for guests. It's private, and it's not known to the guest. The widow has been in and out of the Empress Dowager's palace many times, but it is still a hoodwink, and those who are incomprehensible are the widow and not the guest."

Ying Zheng had the courage to blame himself, and relieved Li Si of the burden he had carried for a long time, which made Li Si very grateful. Yingzheng sighed again: "Although the widow is the king of Qin, he is holding back and has many scruples. The matter of Lai Ai is related to the Queen Mother, and it involves Lu Buwei, the prime minister. The power of the country is in the hands of these three people. Lai Ai bullied the widow, If you humiliate the former king and have wrong intentions, I will destroy my three clans and eat my flesh, so that I can get rid of the hatred in my heart. However, although I want to punish Lai Ai, I am afraid that Lu Buwei will have lips and teeth, so I and Lai Ai will protect each other privately. I am embarrassed. If Lai and Lu join hands, there will be insufficient manpower, and there is no chance of winning. I don’t know how to plan, so I asked the guest, why did the guest teach me?”

Under Ying Zheng's earnest gaze, Li Si pondered for a moment, and said, "My king is very worried. If Lai Ai is punished for the crime of fraud and corruption, the Prime Minister Lu Buwei will sit and die in accordance with the law. If everyone dies, then everyone will die. The two are in harmony with each other, and they are bound to join forces to fight against the king. This is inevitable. The current plan, don't use other crimes to punish Lao Ai, and have nothing to do with Xiangguo Lu Buwei. Guan Ji must be delighted across the river, glad to see Lai Ai's defeat, but he has no intention of helping him. After Lai Ai's defeat, Xiangguo Lu Buwei can slow down the plan."

Yingzheng praised it as good, and said: "Since this is the case, how should Lai Ai accept it?" Li Si kowtowed and said, "I dare not speak."
