Since the day of its completion, Xianyang City has never been invaded by foreign enemies, and it is like a fortified city that will never fall, and it has always stood tall.

As the imperial capital of the Great Qin Empire, the world's powerful giants all regard it as a holy place and flock to it.

Every year, Xianyang City expands outward, and it is like a bright pearl of the Great Qin Empire, gathering all the glory and care of the world and thriving.

Every road in Xianyang City, whether it is a road or a secluded road, is checked.

A veteran with white hair, standing alone at the checkpoint on a little-traveled path.

He held a halberd in his hand, let the wind and rain blow, like a strong pine, and his body was straight.

The sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds slowly covered the sky of Xianyang City.

The breeze began to grow stronger.

A thunderclap exploded in the sky, and the veteran looked up, looked at the sky, and muttered, "It's going to rain again!" ”

He trembled and put down the weapon in his hand, then bent down, picked up the hat on the side slowly, put it on his head, and then continued to stand quietly on his post.

Soon, the sky thundered and flashed, and the majestic rain poured down from the sky.

Although he was wearing a hat, the heavy rain still soaked the veteran's leather armor, and it didn't take long for the clothes he was wearing to get soaked.

His whole body was soon overwhelmed by the heavy rain, and a trace of desolation welled up from the depths of his heart.

"Your Majesty...... Tonggu is not guilty. ”

"Not guilty!"

The veteran's expression was glazed, and he kept repeating the voice in his heart.

The frost and cold weather in September made his old body tremble from a distance.

But his indomitable heart was troubled again, and he was never willing to bow his proud head.

Even if he died on the post, he was reluctant to leave the post and hid under the eaves not far away to avoid the rain.

It is the duty given to him by His Majesty, and he would rather die than leave his post without permission.

This is the belief he has believed and adhered to all his life, and he has never wavered or changed.

Li Si did not betray His Majesty and will never betray His Majesty......

The rain slid down from his old face and melted with the tears, making it impossible to tell whether it was tears or rain.

Standing in Xianyang Palace, above the Wentian Pavilion, Yingzheng has a panoramic view of Xianyang City.

Looking at the pouring rain, Ying Zheng sighed, as if something sounded, and then said to Zhao Zhong on the side: "Who is on duty at the checkpoint today?" ”

Zhao Zhong was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted.

Where does Your Majesty care about the armor guarding the checkpoint, but is asking Li Si?

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Li Si."

Zhao Zhong said immediately.

These days, His Majesty would often ask about Li Si's situation, and he also sent people to keep an eye on it, for fear that something would go wrong.

"How long have you been guarding it?"

Ying Zheng felt a chill hit him, and pulled the mink robe on his body.

"It's been half a year since I returned to Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhong understands that when he is an errand by His Majesty's side, he can't be sloppy in the slightest, these big and small trivial matters, he will sort out them every day, this is a compulsory course, once His Majesty asks, he can return to His Majesty as soon as possible.

"Isn't I too ruthless, you say?"

Ying Zheng looked at the rain scene in Xianyang City and said with some confusion.

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and is considerate and cherished for his subordinates."

Zhao Zhong hurriedly said.

"Then why does he always refuse to bow his head to me and admit his mistakes? Am I wrong? ”

Ying Zheng looked at the majestic rain outside, as if he was careless.

Zhao Zhong's face changed, and he said with a straight face: "Your Majesty will not be wrong." ”

"Why can't I be wrong? Doesn't the Confucian Book say that if a person is not a sage, he can be without fault? ”

Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty is not a sage, but Your Majesty is the Holy Lord of the world, the Holy Monarch of Great Qin. What is a sage, how can he be compared to His Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty can sweep the world and end hundreds of years of war and strife, which the sages cannot."

"Your Majesty can let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, have food to rely on, and live openly, which the sages can't."

"Your Majesty can make Great Qin stand on the top of the world, and all the foreign races in the Quartet will bow down, and Yi Di will look at Qin and be afraid, and the sages can't do it."

"So Your Majesty won't be wrong, it's Li Si who is wrong."

Zhao Zhongyi was righteous, and said with a respectful look on his face.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”

"That's right, they will only pay lip service, and they are all experts in pointing out the country, but if they are allowed to govern the world, they are wine bags and rice bags."

"It's going to be a cold winter soon, I'm getting older, and I can't stand it."

Ying Zheng sighed, then pulled his robe again and left.

Zhao Zhong frowned, carefully savoring the meaning of His Majesty's words.

Your Majesty is talking about yourself?

Or is it something else?

But Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, even if the weather is cold, and everyone in the world freezes to death, you can't freeze Your Majesty, right?

Is Your Majesty worried that Li Si won't survive this winter?

So what His Majesty means......

Zhao Zhong's eyes immediately lit up, revealing a sudden expression.

An hour later, the heavy rain stopped, and Li Si took off his hat, but the whole person was still shivering.

His clothes were soaked, and the cold wind howled even more from time to time.

Just then, a carriage drove up from a short distance.

Li Si was slightly stunned, this trail has been abandoned for a long time, and he can't even see anyone on weekdays, let alone any carriage.

The reason why the level here has not been removed is more of a symbolic meaning.

Li Si saw that the carriage had stopped, and just wanted to step forward to inform the visitor that the road was impassable.

But before he could take a few steps, Li Si was stunned.

Zhao Zhong slowly stepped down from the carriage, and then waved his hand at the coachman.

The carriage immediately turned around and headed off into the distance, and soon stopped in the distance.

"Is Lee Sang-an okay?"

Zhao Zhong smiled and arched his hand at Li Si.

"The eunuch Ling said that he laughed, there is only one Xianyang Chengguan halberd here, where is there any prime minister?"

"I don't know what the eunuch ordered to come, what is the order?"

Li Si smiled bitterly.

This Zhao Zhong, as a eunuch, is a close minister of His Majesty, shouldn't he come all the way to make fun of himself?

"Li Xiang, you are smart, how can you be so confused?"

Zhao Zhong directly opened the conversation box and scolded Li Si.

“????” Reese.

I stood here here and did my duty, but what did I do wrong?

Is Your Majesty going to punish yourself again?

So you sent Zhao Zhong to teach yourself a lesson?

But what else can you punish?

Kill yourself?

"Si, I don't understand."

Li Si is neither humble nor arrogant, he is already a person who is about to enter the earth, what else is terrible, except for worrying about his son and grandchildren, he has no nostalgia in this world.

What fame and fortune, power and wealth, all are just clouds of the past.

has been degraded one after another, and during this period of time, Li Si has been coldly ridiculed, and he is already bearish.
