Hu Hai and Zhao Gao sat in the hall and looked at Li Si sitting opposite him, the three of them had their own thoughts, but looking at Hu Hai's appearance, it was estimated that his thoughts and Li Si and Zhao Gao might not be the same.

Li Si picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip lightly, and then put it down, after Zhao Gao said those words, Li Si understood the intention of these two people coming to his house today. Zhao Gao is the commander of the CRRC, although this official position has no grade, but if you really want to talk about it, even Li Si himself will not say that he looks down on a eunuch who is an official, and the position of the CRRC government order is really too special. Not to mention anything else, being able to enter and exit the palace freely and take care of His Majesty's daily life, with these two alone, most of the officials in Xianyang City will nod their heads and bow when they see Zhao Gao, and the remaining half of them will also lower their posture and go to fight with Zhao Gaoxu. The only person who can say that he doesn't have to worry about an existence like Zhao Gao at all, except for Li Si and Meng Tian, there are only a few people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Gao is the prime minister in the palace, after all, he is the person in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and he has no intention of saying a good word to you in front of His Majesty the Emperor, which is much more useful than your political performance is several times better, then it depends on how much you can pay to make His Majesty the Emperor hear this good sentence.

Since Hu Hai and Zhao Gao came together today, it also means that Zhao Gao chose Hu Hai. If you want to squeeze out the eldest prince Fusu and become the heir to the throne, it is definitely not enough to rely on one Zhao Gao, it seems that they want to pay attention to themselves.

Li Si is also an extremely shrewd person, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in this position today.

There was a temporary silence in the hall, Li Si sat there thoughtfully, Zhao Gao was sipping the good tea of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Hu Hai's attention was still on the young and pretty maid.

After a long time, perhaps the taste of the teacup in his hand was not as good as it was at the beginning, Zhao Gao put down the beautifully made porcelain cup in his hand, looked at Li Si and said: "Prime Minister, I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks of His Majesty's two sons, there are no outsiders today, can you tell the villain." ”

Li Si looked at Hu Hai when he heard this, Hu Hai still didn't seem to hear Zhao Gao's words, and his attention was still on the maid. Li Si shook his head helplessly, and said to Zhao Gao: "Lord Zhao has lived in the palace for a long time, and he should know more about the two sons than Li Si, why did he ask me today?"

Zhao Gao also knew that Hu Hai beside him didn't pay attention to the matter he told him before he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was also very helpless. He smiled slightly, and said to Li Si: "The prime minister doesn't know, although Zhao Gao walks around the palace every day, but it is all under the nose of His Majesty, and the villain actually doesn't know much about the two sons. The second prince is still young, and His Majesty does not allow him to participate in major government affairs, so he spends more time with the villain, but it is just an ordinary interaction, don't misunderstand, Prime Minister. ”

After listening to Zhao Gao's words, Li Si couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart, how did I hear that you and Hu Hai have a good relationship, but it's amazing, besides, isn't Hu Hai like this today still taught by you Zhao Gao?

Of course, Li Si would not take out these words, he continued to say to Zhao Gao: "The eldest prince is well known to everyone in the court, as the eldest prince of His Majesty, His Majesty also has high hopes for him, plus the prince of Fusu worshiped Meng Tian as a teacher, so it is naturally a good thing that Daqin has a prince of Fusu in the future." ”

After that, Li Si looked at Hu Hai who was sitting next to Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao found that Hu Hai was still looking at the maid, and patted his thigh vigorously under the table, which made Hu Hai come back to his senses and look at Li Si.

Li Si stroked his beard and looked at Hu Hai and said: "Hu Hai Gongzi, he is still young now, it is a good age to study and learn, if he does not take advantage of this time to control his words and deeds, I am afraid that it will be difficult for His Majesty to entrust Gongzi with important responsibilities in the future." ”

Hu Hai was a little displeased when he heard this, and he said: "This is not necessarily, although my son is young, but compared to my eldest brother, I am much more powerful than him." You just said that Chu Fei two days ago, if I hadn't gone in and stabbed him in the back, would he have been able to beat Chu Fei? ”

Although Li Si had not seen this scene in the palace with his own eyes, he had heard a little about it in the mouths of others. Hu Hai's sword is indeed the biggest assist, Chu Fei was captured, and Meng Tian did not die in Chu Fei's hands, according to His Majesty the Emperor's favor to Meng Tian, it is not impossible to give Hu Hai such a thing.

"In that case, why didn't Gongzi open his mouth to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to make you the crown prince?" asked Li Si.

"Of course I thought about it, this ......" Hu Hai couldn't speak, he did think so, and after Ying Zheng finished saying that, he wanted to say it, but he didn't dare, at that time, all his father's attention was focused on the injured and unconscious Meng Tian, God knows if he said this sentence would make his father angry, after all, Fusu is Meng Tian's disciple and his eldest brother, if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Ying Zheng will not agree to his request if he takes care of Meng Tian's face. Fly Lu

Hu Hai was deflated, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Gao beside him, Zhao Gao nodded slightly to him to show reassurance, and then said to Li Si: "What did the Prime Minister say, even if the second prince is stupid, he will not ask such a stupid question to His Majesty, the future prince of Great Qin does not say that he can be a prince, and besides, it is a royal taboo to abolish Chang Liyu, even if His Majesty wants Prince Hu Hai to take over the throne, he will not do it." ”

Ying Zheng's personality Li Si is naturally very clear, he knows very well in his heart that if Hu Hai dares to put forward such a condition, I am afraid that without waiting for Ying Zheng's anger to disappear, Hu Hai will be beaten into the cold palace, and there will be no possibility of competing with Fusu for the throne from now on.

"Then what is the purpose of His Royal Highness Gongzi and Lord Zhao coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion today? Could it be just to discuss with the Prime Minister what the Second Prince's request to His Majesty is?" Speaking of this, Li Si waved his hand, and all the maids in the hall consciously retreated.

Hu Hai's eyes moved with the maid he liked, until the maid left the hall and disappeared. "Well, that, naturally not, today my son originally wanted to go to Xianyang City to have a while, and happened to pass by the door of the Prime Minister, so I thought about coming in to ask for tea and drink, and by the way, I came to visit the Prime Minister. ”

Without waiting for Li Si to speak, Zhao Gao continued Hu Hai's words and said, "Your Excellency is already very tired from helping Your Majesty deal with all the political affairs of Great Qin today. Okay, Childe, it's better to make it clear to the Prime Minister, if you continue to talk like this, I'm afraid the Prime Minister will be able to get rid of people. The latter sentence Zhao Gao said to Hu Hai.

Seeing that the two uninvited guests were finally about to start a showdown, Li Si smiled slightly, sat and listened carefully to what the other party was going to say next.

Zhao Gao looked at Li Si, and his white and beardless face began to show a solemn expression. "Prime Minister, I can't hide it, today the prince and I came to visit the door to show goodwill to the Prime Minister. ”

"Where do you start with this?" Zhao Gao asked, although he asked knowingly, this was just to leave some room for these two people.

Hu Hai said directly: "If my son has something to say, I will say it directly, Prime Minister, my son wants to be the prince, but my eldest brother has Meng Tian behind his back, so I discussed it with Zhao Gao, and now the only one who has the ability to fight against Meng Tian above the court is the Prime Minister, so I think the Prime Minister can help me." If I can ascend to the throne, the Prime Minister will be the real one person under ten thousand people, and I can give you unlimited rights, I don't know what the Prime Minister wants?"

Li Si picked up the tea in front of him again, and although it was a little cold, he still took a sip unhurriedly. Li Si put down the teacup with a slightly playful expression on his face, he looked at Hu Hai and Zhao Gao and said, "Don't Gongzi and Lord Zhao know that my son Li You has already worshiped Meng Tian as a teacher? With this relationship, do you two think that I will agree to cooperate with you, instead of supporting Su Gongzi to ascend to the throne with Meng Tian? Or why do you think that I will agree to your conditions?"

Li You worshipped Meng Tian as his teacher, but Meng Tian did not publicize this matter, and Li Si did not say it, so there are still very few people who know about it. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao heard this from Li Si's mouth, and they both had an expression of disbelief on their faces, if this was the case, wouldn't the two of them come to the door today?

"This ...... Why haven't you heard from the Prime Minister about this?" Zhao Gao was a little flustered, if Li Si publicized the collusion between him and Hu Hai, I am afraid that tomorrow, no, maybe his life will be lost tonight.

Li Si said with a slow smile: "What, is this still a big matter? Do you have to make it known to everyone in the city? Could it be that Lord Zhao didn't know that Lord Meng was assassinated on the way home from the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, and the son of the Prime Minister almost died at the hands of those killers. ”

Li Si seemed to have something to say, Zhao Gao's face was a little unbearable, only Chu Fei came back alone that night, and he didn't tell himself that Li You was also there, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Li Si's mansion today to say so many things that shouldn't be said.

What should I do now, Li Si is the prime minister, Meng Tian is the general, and he was not the opponent of either of the two of them, but now that the two of them are still joining forces, wouldn't he just have to wait for death. There is also Hu Hai, there are Meng Tian and Li Si behind Fusu, what will Hu Hai do to compete with him for the throne, just hit the stone with an egg.

Hu Hai and Zhao Gao sat there motionless with their faces like ashes. Li Si, who was sitting opposite them, regained a different look in his eyes, maybe it was time for him to change.
