The outer study room of the east side hall of the Qin Palace was brightly lit, and the general Zhao Kuo, the left prime minister Wang Xuan, the right prime minister Mi Qi, the old court captain Yingqi and the Xianyang general Meng Tian were suddenly secretly summoned into the palace by Yingzheng. In this class of important ministers, only Changshi Lisi is missing.

"Zheng Guo is a native of South Korea, and he is tired of Qin's plan! Did you know? Ying Zheng angrily threw a roll of bamboo slips into the center of the study.

"Zheng Guo's entry into Qin is to exhaust our country's strength to open canals! Such sinister intentions are so vicious! As the so-called non-own race, their hearts will be different! When it was agreed that the Jingshui River Canal would be launched, it was originally Li Si's idea! The minister has found out that when Li Si was the head of the river, he often talked with Zheng Guo all night, and there must be an ulterior secret in this! The old minister thought that Li Si should be arrested immediately, and the court governor's mansion would be questioned! Old Tingwei was the first to speak.

Since Lü Buwei was deposed, Yingzheng has had an inexplicable dislike for Li Si, but in the past five years, Yingzheng has always trusted Li Si, and he is helpless. Now that the opportunity has suddenly appeared, how can you easily miss it?

Ying Zheng just listened silently and did not speak.

"Li Si is loyal to Qin, and his ministers are willing to vouch for him." Zhao Kuo and Li Si have always been good friends, but when he saw that Lao Tingwei suddenly became troubled, how could he stand by and watch? Zhao Kuo suppressed the anger in his heart and defended Li Si.

"Let's not talk about Li Si, but when it comes to the princes and six countries, there are many people who come to Qin!" Meng Tian also added coldly.

"Funny! Dare to ask if Montessori is not for everyone? The right prime minister, Qi Qi, couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and asked sharply.

"It has been a hundred years since the Montessori entered Qin, and he has been favored by four generations of Qin kings, how dare he have him?" Not to be outdone, Meng Tian generously stated.

Zhao Kuo smiled coldly when he heard this, and said to each other: "In this way, Zhao Kuo is a Zhao person, is it an intermediate?" ”

"Enough!" Wang Xuan, who has always been silent, suddenly stood up and interrupted everyone's quarrel. After the quarrel subsided, Wang Juan bowed deeply to Yingzheng and said, "The stakes are very high, but the king decides!" ”

Ying Zheng rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked casually: "What about the prime minister's intentions?" ”

"Qin Zheng's entanglements for many years all originated from people from the Six Kingdoms! Therefore, if you don't chase the guests of Shandong, it will be difficult for the Qin country to be safe! Seeing that King Qin was asking himself, Wang Juan hurriedly said.

After more than 20 years in Qin, I saw that the gray hair on my temples gradually grew, but the plan of chaos in Qin still achieved nothing. Listening to Wang Xuan's words, Zhao Kuo suddenly realized, isn't this an opportunity? While thinking about it, Ying Zheng suddenly turned his gaze: "Does Father think that the prime minister is planning?" ”

Zhao Kuo stood up and said in fear: "The minister is a foreigner, and he has no right to talk about this matter......

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "Yafu is not among the expulsors, why should he scruple?" ”

"In this way, the king's will has been decided, and the minister does not need to say much." Zhao Kuo replied lightly.

Qin lost Li Si, and the six countries were even lucky! After thinking about the stakes, Zhao Kuo was no longer in the mood to defend Li Si.

"Good!" Seeing that Zhao Kuo did not object, Ying Zheng immediately decided to take the case: "Wang Juan, pass on the edict to expel the guest!" ”……

The night was already very deep, but Li Si still had no sleep, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, he wanted to cry without tears. After so many years of hard work, seeing that his career has finally improved, who knew that King Qin issued a paper to expel customers, and everything instantly came to naught. The edict said that Xianyang must be left on the third day, and tomorrow will be the last day.

"The world is so big, there is no place for me Li Si to stand on!" Li Si looked up to the sky and sighed, "In vain, I have the talent to stabilize the country, but I was rejected from the temple!" Yingzheng! Li Si mislooks at you too! That's it! That's it! Tomorrow, I will go back to Shangcai's hometown to open an apprenticeship! Don't think about it anymore! Two lines of tears slowly slid down Li Si's thin face.

"Nope! After surviving all these years, how can you leave so easily? Another voice suddenly sounded in Li Si's ears, "Book King Qin!" Let King Qin retract this ignorant and ridiculous edict as soon as possible! ”

"That's right! Book to King Qin! Li Si suddenly woke up, immediately turned on the candle lamp again, and began to write hard by the light. He's going to make one last effort, if it's just a 1 in 10,000 chance.

By the time the east revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, a strange essay that could be passed down through the ages was finally written.

How can Shangshu be delivered to the King of Qin? Li Si remembered Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo, and he had heard about the dispute that happened in the palace that day. Based on this alone, he can believe that Zhao Kuo will definitely support him......

Without taking a break, Li Si rushed to the Mafu Jun's mansion non-stop, but unfortunately, Zhao Kuo was summoned to the palace and had not yet returned to the palace. In desperation, Li Si had no choice but to hand over his superiority to the old housekeeper in the house, gave a thousand instructions, and then turned around and left in frustration.

When Zhao Kuo returned home, it was already afternoon, and when he read the volume of "Expulsion of Guests" handed over by the old manager, Zhao Kuo exclaimed: "Li Si is really a genius!" ”

"Why does my father sigh like this?" Zhao Kuo looked up when he heard the sound, and it turned out to be Zhao Gao who was ordered by the CRRC Mansion to walk in leisurely.

In the third year of Ying Zheng's pro-government, Zhao Gao entered the Qin court as a scholar and soldier in the selection examination for civil judges. Ying Zheng also took good care of this childhood friend, and within two years, Zhao Gao was appointed by Ying Zheng as the commander of the CRRC government, that is, the captain of the chariot and horse of King Qin. Although he is only a middle-level official, the CRRC government order is responsible for the management and travel of the monarch's chariots and horses, and sometimes even has to personally drive for the monarch, so this position is particularly important.

Historically, the CRRC government order has only been undertaken by the monarch's absolute trust of his confidants and cronies. In Ying Zheng's view, Zhao Gao is not only loyal to himself, but what is even more rare is that since he was a child, Zhao Gao has a unique attainment in driving cars and horses.

However, for Zhao Gao, the significance of being promoted to the CRRC Decree was not only about the promotion, but also the opportunity he had to get involved in the central power of the Qin State.

"Gao'er?" Seeing Zhao Gao coming in, Zhao Kuo hurriedly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and got up to greet him.

Over the years, Zhao Gao, who has grown up, has gradually learned about his "life experience", although he has not made it public, but in private, the two have actually acquiesced to this "father-son" relationship. Zhao Kuo even told his "son" the purpose of entering Qin without concealing while the iron was hot, after all, with Zhao Gao's help, the implementation of the plan to chaos Qin would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Zhao Kuo happily took Zhao Gao to the bookcase, and casually handed Li Si's upper sparse to Zhao Gao: "Qiwen is also appreciated!" ”

Zhao Gao curiously took the bamboo slip and read it in a low voice: "When the ministers heard that the officials were talking about expelling guests, they thought it was too much. Ximu Gong seeks scholars, takes Yu Rong in the west, Xi Yuwan in the east, welcomes Uncle Yu Song, and asks for Pi Leopard and Gongsun Zhi in Jin. These five sons were not born in Qin, but Mu Gong used them, and merged the country for twenty, so he dominated Xirong. Filial piety and public use of the law of martingale, change customs, the people to prosperous, the country to be rich and strong, the people are happy to use, the princes are subordinate, won the Chu and Wei divisions, lifted thousands of miles, and has been strong so far. King Hui used Zhang Yi's strategy to pull out the land of Sanchuan, merge Ba and Shu in the west, collect Shangjun in the north, take Hanzhong in the south, Bao Jiuyi, hold Yan and Ying, and take the risk of Chenggao in the east, cut the soil of the ointment, and then disperse the six countries from Qin, so that the west of Qin is done, and the work has been done to this day. King Zhao got Fan Ju, abolished the Marquis, chased Huayang, strengthened the office, put an end to the private door, encroached on the princes, and made Qin the emperor. These four gentlemen are all based on the merits of guests. From this point of view, how can the guest lose to Qin Zai......"

Reading and reading, Zhao Gao's face gradually lost his smile: "Eternal Xiongwen!" If the king of Qin sees this article, he will repent! If Daqin gets this person, the world will be in danger! ”

Zhao Kuo nodded and sighed: "I don't know for my father, if Li Si is not used by me, he will be killed!" ”

"Father already has a claim in his heart?" Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, and he put down the bamboo slip.

"Li Si has been away from the country for more than half a day, although I have sent people to guard the main road of Qin in Hangu Pass, Wuguan and Shaoliang in Hexi, but there is a ...... in case" Zhao Kuo suddenly stopped his words, and looked at Zhao Gao with deep eyes.

Zhao Gao was very sensitive, and suddenly realized: "I am willing to drive back Li Si!" ”

"Gao'er, did you think about it when you saw Li Sike?" Zhao Kuo was still not very relieved.

Zhao Gao blinked and blurted out: "Then I said, King Qin was furious when he saw Shu, and sent a light horse to intercept the intersection to arrest Mr., Ma Fujun was worried about Mr. 's safety, so he asked Mr. Gao to recover Mr. and ask Mr. to temporarily avoid Ma Fujun's Mansion in order to be in order." ”

"This is still appropriate, but Li Si may not believe it." Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment, "Don't mention Ma Fujun and talk about Ma Zhao, just say Ma Zhao, Li Siding back!" ”

"Father, please." Zhao Gao asked puzzled.

Zhao Kuo didn't answer, just smiled slightly: "According to this, Li Si will understand." ”

Zhao Gao didn't ask any more questions, bowed his hand to Zhao Kuo, and then walked out of the Mafu Jun's Mansion quickly and chased after Li Si.

After Zhao Gao left, Zhao Kuo grabbed the bamboo slips again and read the "Exhortation to Customers" from beginning to end. Then, he suddenly closed his eyes, shook his hand, and threw it straight into the stove beside him.

Looking at the raging black smoke, Zhao Kuo's heart was full of regret.
