In Xiangguo's mansion, Zhang Cang and Li Si sat opposite each other, and Li Si also learned about the battle report of Michi, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and invited Zhang Cang to come to a small gathering, and praised his eldest son by the way.

And when Zhang Cang heard this, he was terrified, it was not Mingjun who was in power now, and it was inevitable that the meritorious person would die, but Li Si didn't seem to care about it, how to say that he was also Xiangguo, and he was also a very good minister, how could he think that Zhao Gao would calculate against him.

"Senior brother, I think you should take advantage of this success to retire." Zhang Cang took a slight sip of warm tea and said, his eyes were quite worried, but Li Si just smiled when he heard Zhang Cang's persuasion.

"If my nephew doesn't come to Xianyang to make meritorious service, I'm already sorry for the court, and now that my son has merit, how can I choose to beg for bones when the country is in danger, this is not a wise move." Li Si said slowly.

Zhang Cang didn't answer directly, and looked at Li Si helplessly, "Senior brother, don't you know now, is the person in charge of the court Zhao Gao?" How could he see that the great deeds of the people disturbed his position! ”

"Although he is in the Wangyi Palace, he is a eunuch after all, I have always been restrained, what ability can he endanger his true appearance." There is a bit of arrogance in the words.

Zhang Cang saw that Li Si was obsessed, so he didn't say more, and the topic immediately changed, only talking about family affairs, not about national politics, the two often chatted for a long time, and Zhang Cang bowed down to say goodbye.

Lu Yan of Linzi heard that Li You had made a great contribution, and secretly pondered in his heart, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to Wang Ling to arrange Zhang Cang's affairs.

After receiving Lu Yan's letter, Wang Ling of Pei County was very dazed, and did not understand his meaning at all, but ordered people to pay attention to the people who came to Pei County, and if they found someone named Zhang Cang, they immediately reported it to him.

Zhao Gao in the Wangyi Palace was already a little jealous of Li Si in his heart, and now he heard that Li You had made great contributions, and he wanted to get rid of the Li family.

discussed the matter with his son-in-law Yan Le, and the two of them had a way for a long time, that is, to borrow the hand of the king to get rid of the hidden dangers of Xiangguo, so that they could also get Xiangguo.

At present, Hu Hai is addicted to wine-colored singers all day long, and he rarely has time to govern, and every time Hu Hai appreciates the singers, he is most annoyed by others, and this is the plan to get rid of Li Si.

Although Zhang Han won the battle, but now the entire empire is already divided, so there are many reports from various county guards, and Xiangguo must personally hand them over to Hu Hai for approval.

But Zhao Gao also built a reading booth in the middle, so every time Li Si directly handed over the advice to Zhao Gao, Li Si had his own estimate in his heart, Zhao Gao could not understand this advice, and he would definitely hand it over to the king, so as not to meet the king in person.

However, after Li You's meritorious service, Zhao Gao withdrew from the Reading Pavilion, and was not in charge of the political affairs of the empire.

Li Si saw that there was no reading pavilion, so he personally handed over the book to Hu Hai, at first there was nothing, but later, Zhao Gao blocked outside the Wangyi Palace, and blocked Li Si outside the palace under various excuses.

Zhao Gao's face was kind, and sometimes he took the initiative to help Li Si take the admonition, after all, some of the admonitions were bamboo slips, and it was quite tiring to hold them, and Li Si was also happy to see Zhao Gao so flattering.

Outside the palace, the two saw each other, and Zhao Gao stopped Li Si again, "Prime Minister, what does this mean?" Isn't there something going on in the palace with the king? Li Si asked with some frowns.

"Xiangguo is angry, I am thinking about Xiangguo, now the king is drinking and having fun, if you go and disturb the king's interest, no matter how big the matter, isn't it Xiangguo who will be punished in the end?" Zhao Gao said in a low voice.

After Li Si heard this, he also felt justified in his heart, and after that, Zhao Gao said that he could enter the palace, then Li Si would enter the palace, but every time he entered the Wangyi Palace, Hu Hai always admired the singer, and the voice was dogs and horses.

But as a courtier, since he came, he was embarrassed to retreat, although Hu Hai was unhappy in his heart, he still showed great relief on his face.

Li Si reported the miscellaneous affairs in various places in the palace, Hu Hai had to nod yes, and then got up and sent Li Si out of the palace, which made Hu Hai very bored.

Over time, this annoyance turned into disgust, but Li Si was an old minister of the first dynasty, and he was in a high position, so it was not easy to punish him, at this time Zhao Gao guessed Hu Hai's thoughts, and went to Wangyi Palace, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of Li Si.

When Hu Hai saw Zhao Gao coming, he immediately gave a seat to prepare tea, after all, the two never talked about state affairs, only some interesting things, and the singer didn't have to retreat.

Zhao Gao took a slight sip of warm tea, and said helplessly: "Every day Li Si comes, the old minister can't stop him at all, and he doesn't understand the king's intentions at all. ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, every time I see Xiang Guo like this, I am also depressed in my heart, I wonder if the prime minister has a wonderful way to solve this matter?" Hu Hai said rather unhappily.

Seeing this, Zhao Gao immediately poured a glass of sake for Hu Hai, "The king thinks how to deal with it, and the old minister does his best." ”

"Prime Minister said this, I must have made up my mind in my heart, now Xiangguo is old, and there is not much time in the DPRK, but every time I think of Xiangguo, I don't know how to lift, I always want to get rid of it as soon as possible." Hu Hai said with a full drink of sake.

"In that case, let's add a charge to Li Si and remove it." Zhao Gao said unhurriedly.

Hu Hai lay on the bed a little lazily, "Cheng sent someone to do it, whether it is to kill or reform, there is no need to talk to me for the time being, in addition, after Li Si solves it, he must be optimistic about Zhang Cang, if Zhang Han is unfavorable, this is the heart of Pingnanhou." ”

Zhao Gao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately took out a silk book and asked Hu Hai to stamp it with a seal, and there was no text on the silk book, which showed that Li Si's charges were decided by Zhao Gao.

In the pavilion outside the palace, Zhao Gao put the silk book on the case, took out the ink pen at the moment, and wrote a good seal book on the silk book.

The crime is probably rebellion or something like that, anyway, Hu Hai has already handed over the matter to Zhao Gao, and of course the more serious the crime, the better.

On that day, Li Sishang was observing the map in the house, and Zhang Han's victory also made Li Si very happy in his heart, and at this moment, suddenly an entourage came to report, saying that the king had an edict issued.

Li Si didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly went out of the house to receive the order, and the eunuch's face was very proud, and he directly read the edict in public.

The book said: "Qin Prime Minister Li Sigong is in Sheji, it is the humerus of the empire, and now the empire is in trouble, and he does not want to be strong, but he has the heart of rebellion, so that his son occupies the fortress of Sanchuan, and he intends to Xianyang, and he does not move at this time, but he is afraid of Zhang Han's power." ”

"Nian Xiangguo was the first dynasty guest secretary, seeking the six countries, helping unification, thinking that it was a great achievement, but the crime of rebellion cannot be forgiven, although the merit is not worldly, its crime is punished, and the three tribes will be punished on the next day."

After the eunuch finished reading the edict, Li Si sat on the ground a little dazed, "Does the old minister have the intention of rebellion? It's a shame that you Zhao Gao can think of it, I really regret not listening to Zhang Cang's words! ”
