Chapter 187: Empress Li Yan

From the moment they heard about Li Si's death, everyone knew that Li Si was obviously forced to die by the emperor. He is to blame. After all, intending to assassinate the emperor is to punish the sins of the nine clans.

However, just now the emperor wanted Li Si's eldest son Li You to be the right prime minister, and he did not say that he would cancel the post-book ceremony, this situation does not seem to be as simple as he and others thought.

"The Prime Minister didn't admit anything. I didn't force the Prime Minister. It seemed that seeing what Meng Tian and the three of them were thinking, Hu Hai thought about it.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the three people in the hall must have guessed the relationship between Li Si and tonight's events. At the same time, Hu Hai is also very aware of the complicated relationship between the three of them and Li Si.

They are also friends and foes, although they have different political views, but they are all sympathetic.

Because, these people, in fact, are no different. They are all a group of people who stand at the forefront of this era, and they are also the top Chinese ancestors of this era.

The only difference is the position, the desire, and the political opinion.

Those who despise the enemy are unkind, those who are lightly benevolent are unrighteous, those who are lightly righteous are unkind, and those who are lightly filial are the most ruthless.

The emperor was originally a widow. However, the widow is also a human being.

Although he was the emperor, Hu Hai did not want to be alone.

There are some things to say and some things not to say. Li Si's death is self-inflicted. But judging from his life, Li Si's merits and demerits are really difficult to comment. What's more important is that what Li Si did was not to assassinate the emperor.

This point is already clear to Hu Hai from Li Si's letter.

Li Si, greedy for power, but also in love with his daughter. It is true that Hu Hai really doesn't know how to treat Li Yan, who has never met before. If Concubine Li really has an heir, then although Li Yan is the queen, it is estimated that it is no different from entering the cold palace.

Even if you are a black-bellied person, you also have a pure land in your heart. Maybe it's small, but there will always be.

If some things are not explained clearly, then the feeling of sadness of the rabbit and the fox will inevitably breed among the few important ministers of the Great Qin who cherish each other.

His throne is held by Li Si, and Li Si's merits cannot be denied and cannot be erased. Hu Hai didn't want to leave an image of his ruthlessness and unrighteousness in the hearts of several important ministers.

Hearing Hu Hai's soft whisper above the main hall, the hearts of the three people in the hall suddenly understood.

"Your Ministers obey!"

Meng Tian, Wei Yi and Feng Qujian bowed at the same time.

"That's very good. The news of the prime minister's death must have been discovered in the prime minister's mansion now. Now it is said that this is the post-book canon. How to deal with it, please talk about it. ”

Although Li Si's death was abrupt, it was obvious that the reason why he returned to Fuzhong to commit suicide was precisely to minimize the impact, so as not to cause chaos in various parts of the Great Qin Pass.

After all, this time is not the time when Li Si died. Originally, in history, the high-ranking officials and important ministers of Great Qin, such as Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Feng Zheng, etc., had already died, and more of the sons of the first emperor were collectively tortured and killed by Hu Hai. Li Si's death is just the last word of another Great Qin minister. At that time, Daqin was nearing the end, who cared if Li Si was dead or alive?

Lis's death clashes with the post-canon. It's an indisputable fact today. Hearing Hu Hai's words, the three of them also had a headache.

It stands to reason that the dead are greater. If it is a general ceremony, it is not unavoidable, but this is the first time since Daqin ruled the world, and it is the first time that a post-canonization ceremony has been held, and this queen is not someone else, she is Li Si's favorite little daughter.

What should I do? It is not appropriate to postpone Li Si's funeral or postpone Li Yan's post-canon. It is clearly even more inappropriate for two things to be held at the same time.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty!" Long Xuan knelt down on one knee at the door of the main hall and said in a trembling voice.

"What?" Hu Hai knew a little in his heart what Long Xuan wanted to report.

"The second son of the Prime Minister, Li Tuo is asking to see him outside the palace." Long Xuan said this, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "The Prime Minister is gone!" ”

Sure enough, that's it.

"Xuan!" Hu Hai said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty obeys!" Long Xuan didn't expect the emperor to hear that Li Si, the first important minister of Great Qin, was not the slightest surprised, as if the emperor had already known about it. Immediately, Long Xuan threw this thought out, how could the emperor know whether the prime minister was dead or alive in the palace.

A moment later, under the guidance of Long Xuan, Li Si's second son, Li Tuo, hurriedly came.

"The villain sees His Majesty!"

Seeing the emperor and the three important ministers in the hall, Li Tuobai fell to the ground and sobbed.

"Let's be flat." Hu Hai stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Tuo sobbed.

"What's going on in the house? Why is this the case? Hu Hai pretended not to know that Li Si was dead, and wondered.

After all, he and the three of them in this hall had long known that Li Si was dead.

"Your Majesty, the villain's father just went to the immortal tonight!" When Li Tuo heard Hu Hai's question, he came to his heart with grief and cried on the ground.

"What?" Hu Hai exclaimed.

"Ahh The three of them also exclaimed in unison.

Hu Hai saw that the three people in the hall, Meng Tian, Wei Yi and Feng Quji, seemed to be really shocked, and their faces twitched. One is better at acting than the other.

"Isn't it good for Li Aiqing to leave the palace? Why is this all of a sudden? This is what Hu Hai really wants to know. If Li Si doesn't arrange it, then things will be troublesome again.

"Back to Your Majesty, after my father returned to the house, his face was very bad, and after resting early, when the servants in the house found out, he had no breath at all." Li Tuo was crying.

Li Si is equal to the Optimus Prime of the entire Li family. Now that Li Si is dead, it is inevitable that the power of the entire Li clan will be greatly reduced. What's more, although Li Si has countless protégés and former officials, without Li Si is a plate of loose sand.

And Li Si's enemies are now in high positions in the Great Qin Dynasty, and they are not much different from Li Si. And now it is said that there are two above this great hall.

Although everyone knows that Li Yan wants to be crowned, since the matter of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, it has been the consensus of the government and the opposition in the Great Qin that harem women are not allowed to ask about politics and interfere in politics. Although Li Yan is the queen, how much can he help the Li family? Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, at most it can only keep the Li family immortal.

After Li Si's death, the weakening of the Li family now seems to be an indisputable fact.

The most important thing is that Li Tuo and others also found a problem, that is, the funeral period of his father Li Si conflicted with his sister Li Yan's post-canon. This is the second thing he has to do when he comes to the palace today, in addition to reporting Li Si's death like Hu Hai.

"Long Xuan, pass on the imperial doctor to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly!" Hu Hai shouted.

Long Xuan, who had been in a state of doubt, heard Hu Hai's words, and a spirit came to his senses. The completely different reactions of the emperor and the three ministers in the hall had already confused Long Xuan.

He couldn't understand why when he reported it, both the emperor and Meng Tian all looked like they had already known, but when Li Tuo came to say, everyone acted as if they knew.

"Your Majesty obeys!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the villain's father has gone to the immortal, and when he found out that his father was wrong in the house, he had already asked for a doctor. However, he has no way to recover. Li Tuo said with a grateful face.

"Did the Imperial Doctor say why this happened?" Hu Hai said in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Hu said that my father was old and frail, and he was frightened tonight, and the heat entered his body, so he ...... So, woohoo! Speaking of this, Li Tuo once again came to his heart and cried bitterly.

Hearing Li Tuo's words, Hu Hai above the hall and Meng Tian in the hall quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine. That's fine.

In this way, Li Si's death will not have too drastic fluctuations in the situation in Guanzhong. As long as the transition of power is smooth, the effects of Lees's death will soon fade.

After all, Li Si died of natural causes, and assassinating the emperor and being ordered by the emperor to commit suicide, those are two completely different concepts.

"Drive the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Hu Hai shouted loudly, and at the same time said to Meng Tian and the three people in the hall: "The three Aiqing Yu I will go together!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Meng Tian, Wei Yi and Feng Quji bowed down at the same time.

The bright half moon had completely set at some point, and a touch of morning light quietly appeared in the dark sky in the east.

A new day begins.

By the time Hu Hai's imperial guard of honor arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, countless Xianyang people had spontaneously gathered around the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The news that Li Si was overworked and passed away from the heat had spread to all parts of Xianyang City at the fastest speed. Countless Xianyang people who heard the news spontaneously rushed from all over the place and gathered towards Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Si, the prime minister who has been in charge of Great Qin for more than ten years, has unparalleled influence in Xianyang, Guanzhong, and even the entire world. Some people hate him, some respect him, and naturally some people love him.

The stormy Great Qin has only just improved a little, and the death of Li Si, a generation of power ministers, is a huge loss to the government and the opposition of the Great Qin Empire no matter how you look at it.

Wherever the emperor passed, the people gathered on both sides of the street and bowed to the second emperor on horseback.

The people, who were still skeptical about Li Si's death, already knew that Li Si's death must be a fact when they saw the emperor, Meng Tian, Wei Yi, Feng Qujian and others.

At the same time, officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China gathered at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the court. Whether it is the protégé and former official promoted by Li Si or the imperial history and courtiers who disagree with Li Si's politics, they finally reached an agreement at the same time at this moment.

The deceased is gone, and the dead are great!

When Hu Hai arrived at Li Si's Prime Minister's Mansion, countless people had already gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yao Jia, Zheng Guo, Hu Wujing and other important ministers of the Nine Qing Dynasty were half of them, and most of the rest were from the DPRK and China officials who were the first to receive the news under Li Si. Hearing that the emperor's honor guard had arrived, under the leadership of Li Si's third son, Li Fa, a group of people greeted him one after another.

Hu Hai saw at a glance the beautiful woman wearing the crown of the balance standing in front of Li Fa, Yao Jia and other important ministers of Jiuqing, Li Yan, the queen of Great Qin!
