Chapter 335: Winning Over Allies (Part II)
Li Si has never been a person who is willing to be subservient to others, as a disciple of the current Confucian Confucian Xunzi, he has his own pride at any time. It was also this pride that made Li Si stand out in LΓΌ Buwei's mansion, and then met Ying Zheng, helped Ying Zheng ascend to the throne, and assisted him to dominate the world, sitting on the throne of today's prime minister, the head of a hundred officials.
Now in the DPRK, Yingzheng has all the power in his own hands, and the military power belongs to Meng Tian, and all he can do is to assist Yingzheng. If Zhao Gao is Ying Zheng's arm in the palace, then Li Si is Ying Zheng's head above the court, but what Li Si wants is not so.
Today's arrival of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao made Li Si's long-dormant heart gradually begin to beat again.
Ben Xiang didn't know who assassinated Meng Tian that night, and Ben Xiang didn't want to know who wanted to kill him, as long as this matter couldn't be related to Ben Xiang himself, Ben Xiang was actually too lazy to care. Lees spoke. "Although Meng Tian is my son Li You's teacher, it is only Li You's own business, and it has little to do with the prime minister, and his majesty the emperor doesn't like the courtiers below to form a party for personal gain, not to mention that the prime minister and Meng Tian are both the most trusted and relied on people by His Majesty the emperor, and it is impossible to walk together. Can Gongzi Hu Hai and Lord Zhao understand the meaning of the true appearance?"
Li Si's words are already so straightforward, if Zhao Gao can't hear the meaning, then it will be a great miracle that he can come to this day.
Zhao Gao glanced at Hu Hai, who hadn't turned around for a while, and was sitting there not knowing what to think.
Zhao Gao opened his mouth and said to Li Si with a smile: "The villain understands what the prime minister means, since the adult has such an idea, it is naturally better." The Prime Minister is the head of the hundred officials, even if Meng Tian is a general, and the official worships the internal history, wouldn't he still have to rank behind the Prime Minister? If it weren't for Meng Fu and Meng Wu dying on the battlefield to pave the way for Meng Tian, Meng Tian would be where he is today? Even with his relationship with His Majesty, I don't think many of the ministers below would be convinced. β
"Hey, Lord Zhao, don't say that. Li Si waved his hand and said: "Anyway, Meng Tian's contribution to Great Qin is there, plus when the old general Wang Jian returned to seclusion, he chose Meng Tian as his successor. With a meritorious veteran like Wang Jian building momentum for Meng Tian, how could Meng Tian be a mediocre person? In any case, Meng Tian is a well-deserved number one military general today, and this is the true thought in Li Si's heart. β
Hu Hai pouted, "It's a pity, this number one military general today may be dead soon." β
Li Si was quite shocked when he heard it, Meng Tian has been in a coma since the day before yesterday, is it really ...... Li Si didn't dare to think about it, since His Majesty the Emperor ruled the world, the remnants of the six countries that were destroyed were all secretly ready to move, waiting for the opportunity to restore the country, and it was precisely because of the existence of the Mengjia army that the rebellion was quelled in the shortest time in various places, so that Great Qin could continue to prosper. If Meng Tian was gone, then after the news got out, Li Si didn't dare to imagine what big chaos would happen in the Qin Kingdom.
"Meng Tian?" asked Li Si, looking at Hu Hai.
Zhao Gao glared at Hu Hai hatefully on the side, blaming him for not talking nonsense. "Prime Minister, don't worry, although General Meng has been in a coma for the past few days, the situation has improved, and I believe that one day soon, the general will wake up. β
Li Si sighed, although he didn't dare to fully believe Zhao Gao's words, but he would rather Zhao Gao tell the truth, although he wanted to share the competition with Meng Tian, but that must be under the condition of ensuring that there would not be too much chaos in the Qin State. After all, today's Qin State has the common efforts and dedication of two people, and he doesn't want this achievement to disappear.
Li Si opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." β
Hu Hai didn't dare to continue talking, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing again, so he just sat there and drank tea in a muffled voice.
Zhao Gao still doesn't know what kind of attitude Li Si has towards Meng Tian in his heart, if he wants to really join forces with himself, then Meng Tian is a high mountain on the road in front of the two of them, and now that most of this mountain has collapsed, Li Si has some different ideas, which makes Zhao Gao, who has always been very accurate in his opinion, a little undecided at this time.
"Then Prime Minister, I don't know if you have any concerns about supporting Prince Hu Hai?" Zhao Gao must Li Si take out a letter of approval to himself, so as to facilitate his next actions.
Li Si pondered for a moment and replied, "This matter is not trivial, I want to think about it for two more days, I don't know if it's okay?"
After thinking about it for two days, maybe Meng Tian would be fine in two days. Zhao Gao couldn't wait, since he had told Li Si almost all of his plans, if Li Si regretted it in the future, wouldn't it be too late for him to regret it. A small bookstore
"Prime Minister, you don't have to think about such a thing for so long, you just need to tell the villain whether you want to support Hu Hai Gongzi or not. The villain's life has been held in the hands of adults.,I hope the adults can give me a satisfactory answer.γ In the end, Zhao Gao's tone was already more or less threatening.
If Li Si refuses to agree to himself, then Zhao Gao is willing to let Li Si end up with the same fate as Meng Tian.
How could Li Si not understand the meaning of Zhao Gao's words, who sent the person who assassinated Meng Tian that day, others didn't know, but he still knew some. Li You was also present that night, and Meng Tian had told him that this matter definitely had something to do with Zhao Gao, so Li You came back and told Li Si about it, and told Li Si about Meng Tian's suspicions.
Thinking of His Majesty the Emperor asking Meng Tian to investigate the affairs of the treasury, the treasury was taken care of by Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu was Zhao Gao's brother, and Zhao Yu was able to sit on this fat gap because Zhao Gao helped him get it by His Majesty the Emperor's side. As for Zhao Yu, this person has no other skills, and he is a good hand at reaping benefits from his own home. Only what Li Si knew, Zhao Yu at least went to his own house to dig at nearly half of the treasures in the treasury, so Meng Tian wanted to investigate the treasury, which touched Zhao Gao and Zhao Yu's cash cow, how could Zhao Gao be willing?
Li Si sat there and thought about it again and again, and finally wanted to speak but hesitated, Meng Tian is the number one martial artist in the world who can be ranked no match for that group of mysterious black-clothed people, so how can he, the prime minister, be the opponent of these people?
"Okay, Benxiang promised you, but Benxiang has a word first, if the Qin State is in chaos because of the two princes fighting for the throne, then Benxiang will stop immediately. β
Li Si finally agreed to himself, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were naturally overjoyed, Hu Hai stood up and said to Li Si: "Since the Prime Minister has chosen this son, then this son will naturally not disappoint the Prime Minister, and in the future, this son will rely on the Prime Minister." β
After Hu Hai finished speaking, he bent down towards Li Si to show his gratitude.
Li Si hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to finish Hu Hai, "Childe doesn't need to be polite, since Li Si has chosen Childe, then he will definitely share life and death with Childe, please rest assured." β
Zhao Gao also stood up, walked to Hu Hai's side, and bowed down to Li Si and said: "The Prime Minister has chosen His Royal Highness the Prince of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao has received such assistance, it will be much easier to act in the future, and our great cause can be expected." β
Li Si laughed, and then ordered the servants at home to start preparing wine and food, since he recognized Hu Hai Gongzi as the master, Li Si naturally did not dare to slack off on the two of them, and set up a banquet at home to entertain the two. At the banquet, Li Si also specially arranged for the maid who was favored by Hu Hai to stand beside Hu Hai and pour wine for him.
Hu Hai has a favorite woman to serve on the side, and his mood is naturally more comfortable. In the face of Li Si's toast, he did not refuse, and he was already drunk and hazy after a while.
Before leaving, Hu Hai finally asked the maid to his hands, and Li Si sent someone to carry the two away together in a car so as not to be seen by outsiders.
Meng Tian had been in a coma at home for two days, except for the first day spent in the palace, and on the second day, Meng Tianci took his father back to his home, and the imperial doctor came every day to heal Meng Tian's injuries.
The palace has regained calm, Chu Fei was stabbed in the back by Hu Hai that day, although he did not die, he was also seriously injured. was guarded in the prison by the forbidden army, perhaps because of the injury, after being locked up in the prison for two days, Chu Fei, who was originally injured, didn't know what happened and escaped from the prison.
When such a thing happened, the forbidden army in charge of guarding Chu Fei did not dare to slack off, and immediately brought the matter to the table. Ying Zheng was furious, a group of brave forbidden soldiers couldn't even beat a single wounded prisoner, it was simply a group of rice buckets.
Ying Zheng ordered that all the forbidden troops responsible for guarding Chu Fei were executed, and Liu Shi, the original commander of the forbidden army, was demoted to the rank of captain of the forbidden army. As for the position of commander of the forbidden army, it fell to a person who no one expected.
Pang Fei was injured in the battle with Chu Fei, but with his qualifications, it is impossible for an imperial doctor to come to treat him. After a simple bandaging of the wound, Pang Fei did not choose to leave, he waited at the gate of the palace where Meng Tian was, until the next day Meng Tianci took his father home, Ying Zheng saw a strong man in black, then he remembered Pang Fei, and then Chu Fei escaped, Ying Zheng was furious and directly appointed Pang Fei as the commander of the palace forbidden army.
I don't know how long I lay down, Meng Tian finally woke up, so that Zi Yanran and Meng Tianci, who were guarding the side, were overjoyed. Originally, Meng Tianci wanted to tell everyone that his father had come back to life, but in view of Meng Tian's weak body, Meng Tianci did not publicize it, but only told Yingzheng and Fusu about Meng Tian's awakening, so that their father and son could feel relieved.
