Chapter 163: Beheading
Qin Shi Huang's words made all the ministers secretly surprised in their hearts, this is equivalent to weakening Li Si's power, you know, many of Li Si's protΓ©gΓ©s are trained by scientific research.
Now that Li Si is not allowed to interfere in the scientific research affairs anymore, it is undoubtedly a major force that has broken Li Si, and everyone is secretly suspicious that the Prime Minister has offended His Majesty and is now suppressing it like this.
Li Si didn't expect that Qin Shi Huang would suddenly not let himself interfere in the scientific examination, you must know that you are the head of the civil officials, and the scientific examination has always been in charge of yourself, and now you don't let yourself interfere, not only slapping yourself in the face naked, but also breaking a powerful arm of yourself.
Although Li Si was unwilling, but seeing Qin Shi Huang's indifferent face and an unbelievable light in his eyes, Li Si could only kneel down respectfully, then looked at Qin Shi Huang and said, "No." β
Although Qin Shi Huang intended to suppress Li Si, he did not think of completely letting Li Si cut off all forces, after all, it is a very dangerous situation for one party to dominate the power, and Qin Shi Huang is such a smart person, naturally he will not let this kind of thing happen.
"Now that you know about it, you don't need to say more, you should know what to do." Qin Shi Huang said indifferently.
"Minister, understood." Li Si still knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
Li Si's careful thinking, Qin Shi Huang knew very well in his heart, I am afraid that the power lost this time will be re-cultivated in the near future, but Li Si should be quiet and quiet for a while now.
What happened at the end of the morning exercise made all the ministers in a fog, but the ministers who were attached to Li Si's forces kept silent and never pleaded.
There is a reason for this, because last night, the forces that Li Si ordered to be secretly cultivated were able to inform various ministers overnight, asking them not to speak for themselves without complaining today.
The ministers didn't understand why the prime minister suddenly ordered someone to inform them of such a thing, but they still did it, so no one pleaded for Li Si in the early dynasty.
However, Qin Shi Huang and Meng Tian were not a little surprised, they knew very well in their hearts that Li Si had already done something secretly, after all, at this time, if anyone dared to intercede, who would be unlucky.
Li Si didn't care about some inconsequential chess pieces in his heart, because although they helped him a lot on weekdays, they were also dispensable and could be replaced at any time.
But the minister in this early court hall is Li Si's real henchman, no matter which one is lost, it is a big loss for Li Si.
Li Si knew that Qin Shi Huang wanted to use himself and Meng Tian to maintain the balance of the court, so if he hadn't committed a great crime, Qin Shi Huang would definitely not do anything to himself, so why bother to expose the hidden forces behind him.
"Meng Aiqing, since this matter has been clarified, I allow you not to go to the morning court for three days, go home and accompany your wife, don't let her have an accident." Qin Shi Huang said quietly.
Qin Shi Huang's words were ostensibly a gift to Meng Tian, but a strange feeling arose in everyone's hearts, as if His Majesty really cared not about General Meng, but about his wife.
But no one dares to question it, after all, even if you know some things in your heart, you can't say it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Tian respectfully knelt down and saluted in thanks.
"If you miss something, come directly to the palace to get it, don't be taboo." Qin Shi Huang thought about it again and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Meng Tian saluted again and said.
"Okay, now that things are taken care of, let's retreat." Qin Shi Huang originally wanted to say something, but he thought of something again, and the words that had already come to his lips were swallowed back and said instead.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
When the ministers saw that His Majesty had risen, they immediately bowed respectfully.
Qin Shi Huang looked at Meng Tian and Li Si, then turned and left.
It wasn't until Qin Shi Huang left the hall that everyone stood up in fright, and then they dared to talk in a whisper.
Li Si and Meng Tian also stood up together, Li Si looked at Meng Tian and said with an easy-going face: "General Meng is worthy of being deeply loved by His Majesty, which makes Prime Minister Ben admire." β
Li Si's words were insinuating, how could Meng Tian not understand, in fact, Li Si's real words were that His Majesty cared about Li Jiang, and everything His Majesty did was also for her.
Although Meng Tian understood the meaning of Li Si's words, he didn't want to argue with him, after all, it was better to spend this kind of time arguing with Li Si here, it was better to go back to the house and accompany Li Jiang.
"The prime minister should explain first, after all, some people are already in a hurry." Meng Tian also said insinuatingly, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the minister standing behind Li Si with an anxious face.
Li Si listened to Meng Tian's words, but he didn't react much, just saluted and said: "Prime Minister Ben will not disturb General Meng, after all, there are still ladies waiting for General Meng in the mansion." β
Meng Tian heard Li Si mention Li Jiang, glanced at Li Si with a cold face, and then turned around and left.
As soon as Meng Tian turned to leave, the ministers behind Li Si couldn't wait to gather next to Li Si, wondering what was going on? Why is it that all of a sudden you are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of scientific research, after all, things have always been in the hands of the prime minister.
"No problem." Li Si saw Meng Tian leaving, so he put away the smile on his face, and instead showed a grim face and said: "Your Majesty is afraid that we have been too arrogant recently, so suppress us, after all, Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs who have completed the hegemony of unifying the six countries." β
"If so, what should we do?" A minister listened to Li Si's words and asked with an anxious face.
"Lately, you all give me a little peace of mind, don't let such a stupid thing happen and make me trouble." As soon as Li Si thought of Lin Dafu's matter, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and then he said coldly: "To be a man, you must be self-aware, so that you can go on this road for a longer time." β
The meaning of what Li Si said is very clear, these ministers are all Li Si's henchmen, how could they not understand the meaning of Li Si's words.
So they hurriedly made a face respectfully and said, "Prime Minister, the lower officials understand. β
Li Si looked at these ministers as brains, so the look on his face eased a little, and then the armrest left.
After Li Si left, those ministers dared to straighten up, after all, they relied on the prime minister to have their current status, if they didn't have a brain, how could they make the prime minister look at him differently?
As soon as Meng Tian left Xianyang Palace, he rushed back to the General's Mansion non-stop.
"General." The guards outside the General's Mansion saluted respectfully.
Meng Tian ignored them today, and walked directly into the mansion quickly, and after the guards saw their general enter the mansion, they straightened up and continued to guard, they knew
General Dao was anxious, worried about the general's wife and Xiaobao.
Meng Tian came to Xiaobao's door and saw Li Jiang sitting motionless next to Xiaobao as if he had left before.
When the bell saw his general standing at the door, he immediately walked out lightly, and then bowed respectfully.
"Ma'am, has it always been like this?" Meng Tian looked at Li Jiang, and then asked the bell.
"Yes, General, Madame has been sitting there like this since last night, motionless, not even closing her eyes often." Bell truthfully informed Meng Tian of the situation, after all, Bell also really cared about Li Jiang and felt sorry for Li Jiang.
"Madame, may you have breakfast?" Meng Tian asked again.
"This morning, several of Madame's senior brothers have already delivered breakfast, and Madame has already eaten." The bell replied.
Meng Tian heard that Li Jiang had already eaten breakfast, and his heart fell slightly, after all, it was good to be willing to eat.
"You go back and wait by Madame's side, and if anything happens, send someone to inform me immediately." Meng Tian glanced at Li Jiang a few times, then turned his head to look at the bell and said.
"Yes, General." The bell immediately replied respectfully.
Meng Tian listened to the bell's words, then turned his head to look at Li Jiang a few times before turning to leave.
When Meng Tian just passed by the courtyard, he met Mu Qi and others, and Mu Qi immediately stopped Meng Tian and asked, "General Meng, where are you going?" β
"There's still some business to be done." Meng Tian saw that it was Mu Qi and the others, so he stopped and said.
Mu Qi and the others thought that Meng Tian had already returned home, and naturally everything had been resolved, but they didn't expect that Meng Tian had just replied not long ago, and he was going out again.
Qishan has a relatively straightforward temperament, he thought that Meng Tian didn't care about Li Jiang, so he didn't want to stay in the mansion, so he opened his mouth and said loudly: "Senior sister is staying in the mansion now, her mood is uncertain, how big of a deal are you?" I can't even stay for a moment. β
Actually, Qishan really misunderstood Meng Tian, the reason why he went back to his house now was because he was worried about Li Jiang, so he wanted to come back and take a look in his heart to rest assured, but it didn't cause such a misunderstanding.
"I want to be by Jiang Er's side more than anyone else." Meng Tian looked at Qishan and said with a serious and serious face.
Qishan was stunned by Meng Tian's sudden serious expression, and he didn't even speak.
After Shi Ming on the side saw it, he stepped forward, saluted Meng Tian and said: "Qishan, his temperament is relatively straightforward, his brain is relatively simple, General Meng wants to be strange to him, and Qishan is just worried about his senior sister." β
"I know." Meng Tian naturally knew that Qishan cared about Li Jiang very much, so he wouldn't bother with him.
"If so, General Meng really has something important, let's deal with it first, Senior Sister and Xiaobao will have us to take care of it." Shi Ming said with an easy-going face.
"Everything has been taken care of, and when I pass, everything will be settled, and when the time comes, I will definitely be by Jiang Er's side and never leave." Meng Tian said with a serious and sincere face.
"Thank you, General Meng." Shi Ming and Mu Qi bowed to Meng Tian together.
Meng Tian glanced at them, then turned around and walked away quickly.
Only Keiyama stood there confused, completely unaware of what was going on, only feeling as if he had done something wrong again.
