Chapter 16: Crisis

"The subordinates are terrified." Hu Hai's voice without a trace of emotion made Li Si kneel on the ground, and his body trembled involuntarily, and he hurriedly kowtowed.

"Okay, Li Aiqing is flat. Do you really have nothing to say to me when you think about it? Hu Hai said lightly.

Li Si hurriedly thanked him and stood up. Li Si was also thinking about what the emperor wanted him to say to him. In fact, Hu Hai was wrong to blame Li Si, he really didn't know what the emperor wanted him to say.

When he first met Hu Hai, Li Si was indeed surprised when he heard that Zhao Gao was killed by Hu Hai, because in his mind, even if Hu Hai killed him, he would not kill Zhao Gao, because Zhao Gao grew up watching Hu Hai, and the relationship between the two was very deep.

And Li Si didn't believe that Zhao Gao would plot to assassinate Hu Hai, if he wanted Hu Hai's life, he wouldn't force himself to work with him to change the edict of the first emperor and put Hu Hai on the throne of the emperor.

The current Hu Hai is completely different from the Hu Hai he knew before, thinking about the skillful grace and power of many ministers before, which Hu Hai, who was mediocre and only knew pleasure before, couldn't do it and couldn't think of it.

If it weren't for the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops around Hu Hai, Li Si would even think that the current Hu Hai had been dropped, but hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops were protecting at night, how could it be possible to drop a Great Qin emperor?

Li Si guessed correctly, Hu Hai was dropped, and the person was not changed, but the soul and consciousness inside were no longer the Hu Hai before.

Previously, after Hu Hai left a group of ministers to lead the forbidden army to lead the way, Li Si, who received the edict from Menggan, first thought of the emperor wanting to kill himself. But on the way here, he thought about it carefully, if the emperor wanted to kill himself, Hu Hai, who had just returned from killing Zhao Gao's might before entering Xianyang, could kill himself at that time, and I believe that no one would dare to say anything.

Now that he is specially edicted to kill himself in front of many ministers, it is obviously redundant, so Li Si quickly dismissed this speculation.

The only thing he can think about is the sand dune scheme, now that Zhao Gao is dead, only he is the only one left, does His Majesty the Emperor want him to talk about this matter? But if His Majesty the Emperor didn't mean this, wouldn't it be typical for him to threaten the Emperor with this matter? Isn't that begging for your own death?

Could it be that the emperor really wants to kill himself? It's just that it's too much to say. Thinking of this, Li Si was worried, raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Hu Hai, and saw that Hu Hai was looking at him with a playful expression, and hurriedly buried his head and said, "The subordinates are panicking." Your Majesty, please make it clear. Sweat rolled down his forehead.

Hu Hai saw that the time had come, and said, "Doesn't Li Aiqing want to tell me about the situation of the chaotic people in Surabaya County?" ”

Hearing Hu Hai's words, Li Si suddenly felt as if the sound of heaven sounded, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he secretly breathed a long sigh of relief and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The old minister is too happy to see Your Majesty, and he forgot such a big thing. Please punish Your Majesty. ”

Hu Hai pouted helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, get up and talk." What is the situation of the rioters now? ”

"The subordinate received a letter yesterday that the chaotic people have become a prairie fire. In addition to the original three bandits, Dang County, Surabaya County, Jiujiang County, Chen County, Nan County and other counties have already rebelled against the people and killed the officials of our court. ”

Hearing Li Si's words, Hu Hai's heart sank, and sure enough, as long as someone lit a fire, this uprising would become a prairie fire. "The original Zhang Er, Chen Yu, Liu Bang, and Xiang Liang are the three rebels, and the latest news has come." Hu Hai asked.

Without hesitation, Li Si replied: "There is no news from these three chaotic people yet. ”

Hu Hai was a little irritable in his heart, stood up and walked around twice, and said, "Is there anything abnormal in the counties of Guanzhong?" "There is no news from Liu Bang and others that makes Hu Hai feel bad, but there is no way now, and the counties in Guanzhong must not have problems at this critical time.

"The counties of Guanzhong have not yet rebelled and the people have rebelled, but the subordinates have received news that the remnants of the six countries and the wealthy families in Xianyang City have been in frequent movements recently, and it may be unforeseen in the long run." Li Si replied solemnly.

Now he really feels the changes in Hu Hai, all the questions Hu Hai just asked are the aspects that need the most attention now, Guanzhong is in chaos, Qin will collapse soon, what happened when the emperor was on his eastern tour. This is the biggest question that has been haunting Li Si's mind now.

"Closely monitor the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the rich families who have changed their movements, and come to report to me at any time if there is a change." Although Hu Hai was anxious, he still calmly instructed Li Sidao.

He probably introduced Hu Hai to the people's livelihood and other aspects of the Guanzhong counties, and saw that Hu Hai was a little tired, and Li Si proposed to retire with interest, Hu Hai still had something to see Wang Li and others, so he waved him down.

When Li Sibai was about to walk out of the palace gate, Hu Hai suddenly said: "Li Aiqing, I don't want anyone to know about the sand dunes, otherwise I ......."

Li Si, who was already about to leave the palace, heard Hu Hai's words, hurriedly turned around and knelt on the ground and said, "The subordinates have never heard of the sand dunes. ”

Very satisfied with Li Si's reaction, Hu Hai waved his hand and said: "I Li Aiqing is loyal to the country, and I still need Li Aiqing to work hard, so let's go down and rest." ”

Li Sicheng knelt down in fear, and when he walked out of the palace, he found that his robe was all soaked, and he glanced at the majestic hall with a complicated expression, Li Si walked out quickly, he was eager to know what happened to Hu Hai's eastern tour.

………

As soon as Li Si left, Hu Hai asked the palace maid who had been waiting outside the palace to bring Wang Li and others over.

When Wang Li and the others came, Hu Hai was engrossed in looking at a huge map of the Qin Dynasty hanging in the middle of the main hall. This is when Hu Hai was waiting for Wang Li and the others, he specially asked the palace maid to take it and hang it in the main hall.

Hu Hai heard the footsteps and stopped Wang Li and the others, who were about to salute, pointed to the map and said: "You have just arrived, just now the prime minister told me that there have been riots in Dang County, Surabaya County, Jiujiang County, Chen County, Nan County and other counties, and I think that soon under the impetus of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the entire territory of Daqin will fall into turmoil." ”

Wang Li and the others also changed their faces when they heard Hu Hai's words, obviously no one expected that things would develop so quickly.

"There are also the counties in my Guanzhong, the six royal clans and rich families who were relocated by His Majesty the First Emperor at the beginning are also moving frequently, so now it can be said that my Great Qin has never undergone a great change, and if I am not careful, my Great Qin will fall apart and the country will not exist."

Speaking of this, Hu Hai sighed with a look of self-reproach: "It's all because I was young and ignorant before, the huge Qin State was corrupted by me to the current situation, and I am ashamed of my great Qin ancestors and ancestors, and I am ashamed of my trust in my father." ”

The current situation is indeed what Hu Hai did not expect, the original ambition was completely disrupted by this sudden peasant uprising, and now it is a bad ambition to deal with, I am afraid that even his own life will be difficult to protect.

Hu Hai originally knew very little about the history of the Qin Dynasty during this period, except for a limited number of famous historical celebrities, at this time he found himself at a loss for the erodive situation of the Great Qin, and he did not know where to start.

Wang Li and the others hurriedly comforted Hu Hai when they heard Hu Hai's self-blame, for fear that Hu Hai would be depressed, Hu Hai waved his hand and said: "I'm fine, but what good strategies do you have to deal with the current situation?" ”

If it is said that Wang Li and others are still very good at fighting, but in the face of the current situation of life and death of Great Qin, everyone does not dare to come up with ideas, for fear that if it is not good to lose the city and lose the land, it will be small and the country will be destroyed because of Great Qin, then he and others will be the sinners of Great Qin through the ages. Therefore, Wang Li and the others looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Hu Hai also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to let these generals who only knew how to lead troops to fight to give him advice, so he didn't blame too much when he saw that all the generals were embarrassed and no one responded for a long time.

Wang Li looked at the worried Hu Hai and suddenly remembered someone in his heart, and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, there is someone who can solve the current danger of my Great Qin." ”

"Who is it?" Hu Hai grabbed Wang Li's arm and asked urgently.

"Captain of the country."
