Zhao Gao clapped his hands and sighed; "The prime minister has good means, clever, clever."

Li Si smiled slightly, a little proud in his heart. I have been immersed in the career for decades, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, this Daqin country, can do without him Zhao Gao, or even without him Hu Hai, but can not do without him Li Si.

Lees continued; "These are not enough, I have checked Zhao Tuo's clan, he is a native of Zhending in Hengshan County, although his parents have died, but his clan is still in Zhending. We issued an order to praise him for his military exploits in Lingnan, saying that we would send someone to help him repair his ancestral tomb and bless the Yin clan. ”

Zhao Gao thought for a while, and then understood, laughed, and said; "I understand what the prime minister means, if he Zhao Tuo is willing to defend himself in Lingnan to open up territory for Daqin, then we must build his ancestral tomb with great style. If he dares to have any different intentions, hmph, then this grave repair team will become a grave digging team, haha, it's really clever. ”

Li Si nodded with a smile and said: "In this way, Zhao Tuo will definitely throw a rat bogey, even if he refuses to cut the land and disobey the yang and yin of the court, he will not rashly erect an anti-flag, once we stabilize the court, we can slowly try to collect his military power." ”

Speaking of this, Li Si had a worried face, "The top priority is to stabilize the Northern Army. The 300,000 army is the elite division of our Great Qin, and the prestige of Meng Tian and Fusu in the Northern Army is extremely high. If these 300,000 troops have different intentions and quickly descend from Shangjun along the straight road, they can reach Xianyang in ten days, this is our henchman's trouble! ”

Zhao Gao shook his head and said with a smile; "Prime Minister can rest assured, Zhao Gao has already made arrangements."

Lees was taken aback; "Could it be that Wang Li is your man?"

Zhao Gao's face was relaxed, and he burst into a sharp laugh. "It's not yet, it's not far off."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Gao said slowly; "The king left this person, thanks to the pride of the young man Zuyin, and then he himself was ambitious and talented, and he was indecisive. The most important thing is that he still has ambitions, he wants to surpass his grandfather and father. ”

"Anyone who is ambitious can be used." Zhao Gao said with a smile: "So I have a way to make him bow down to us and restrain the group of arrogant generals of the Northern Army for us." ”

Li Si nodded, his face slightly widened, "This is very good, so that we don't need our soldiers of Great Qin to kill each other and fight each other." ”

After a pause, Li Si continued; "Lord Zhao, you have a close relationship with Your Majesty, you should teach Your Majesty more in your spare time, everything should be based on the society of the country, and avoid blindly enjoying and playing, if you continue to make trouble like this, how can the people of Daqin be convinced."

Zhao Gao secretly scolded in his heart: This old thing, is it addicted to teaching His Majesty a lesson, I have to drink it at two ends in three days, I really think that we can't do without you, sooner or later we will make you look good.

His face was full of smiles, "What the prime minister said is very true, but His Majesty is young and likes to play, and the old slave is helpless, so he still has to rely on the prime minister's persuasion." You are the head of the hundred officials in the imperial court, and you are highly respected, and you are still a relative of Great Qin, and you are still the elder of Your Majesty. If you speak, it will definitely work better than the old slave's words. ”

Li Si sighed; "If my words were useful, Your Majesty wouldn't be playing with the old ministers all day long, our Majesty, it's really not reassuring."

Zhao Gao said with a smile; "Isn't this good, Prime Minister, with you always here, Daqin can sit back and relax."

Li Si smiled bitterly and shook his head. Rest easy? Hu Hai can not know, and Zhao Gao can not know, but he knows everyone that the world of Daqin is already unstable. It's like dry wood on the stove, all that's missing is a spark.

Seeing that Li Si's expression was a little bitter, Zhao Gao smiled and changed the topic, "The prime minister's eldest son returned to Xianyang with the sixth princess a few days ago, everything is okay?" ”

A smile appeared on Li Si's old face, "Lord Lao Zhao is bothered, yesterday was the death day of the clumsy Jing, and the dog and the princess went home to worship their mother. ”

Zhao Gao laughed; "I heard that the sixth princess is pregnant, congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the prime minister, and she is about to be a grandfather." After speaking, Zhao Gao sighed again, "I really envy the old slave, Li Yougongzi is not only talented, he was appointed as the county guard of Sanchuan at a young age, but he was also appreciated by the emperor Xu Yitiannu, I really envy others." ”

Li Si squinted his eyes and stroked his beard, feeling very proud of this eldest son. He Li Si is just a civil official, but he can give birth to a son who is both civil and military, how can he not be satisfied.

Seeing that it was not too early, Li Si said goodbye to Zhao Gao: "This official will retire first, and I hope that Lord Zhao will have more advice and persuasion in his spare time." ”

Zhao Gaoli hurriedly bowed and saluted; "It must be, the prime minister walks slowly."

When Zhao Gao came to the apse, Hu Hai was sitting naked in a huge wooden barrel in the center, and more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids next to him were sweating profusely to change water into the wooden barrel, and from time to time they poured ice cubes into the barrel.

It's a great way to beat the heat. Hu Hai closed his eyes comfortably and enjoyed it, and when he heard the news from the palace people, he opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Gao with a smile and said; "Master, I'm smart, this is the method I just came up with, do you want to try it?"

Zhao Gao shook his head, and Hu Hai saw that his face was not very good, so he asked curiously; "Li Si, that old guy said something to the master again, which made you so unhappy."

Zhao Gao hesitated a lot, embarrassed, and sighed; "What else can there be, isn't it just to scold me. He always said that His Majesty's words and deeds were absurd, saying that the old slave was not effective in persuasion, and that His Majesty should be strictly disciplined. ”

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unsightly, and he asked with a gloomy face: "Is that really what Li Si said about me?" ”

Zhao Gao nodded, sighed and said; "He is the prime minister, the old slave is just a CRRC government order, he wants to scold, how dare the old slave fight back, so he has to bow his head and be scolded. It's just that he always says that His Majesty is stubborn, and the old slave really can't listen to it, so he retorts and is scolded by him again. ”

Hu Hai was furious, his white face was angry, Huo De stood up from the barrel at once, and he didn't care about being naked, and said angrily; "Is that old thing really saying I'm so unbearable?"

Zhao Gao snorted angrily; "But isn't it, this Li Si, who has made meritorious contributions to the throne by supporting His Majesty, and is the head of a hundred officials, has nothing to look at, and even the old slave has to serve him carefully." After speaking, Zhao Gao touched the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and pretended to shed a few tears.

Hu Haiping hated others for despising him the most, and Zhao Gao deliberately said this because he had sensed his temper. Hu Hai exhaled and panted, gritted his teeth; "This old thing, when my father was here, he was docile and obedient like a dog, and now that I am the emperor, he picks his nose at me, do you really think I can't do anything about him? Tomorrow, the court will issue an order to remove him from the position of prime minister. ”

Zhao Gao was taken aback, he originally wanted to provoke the relationship between Hu Hai and Li Si, so that Hu Hai would be disgusted with Li Si, but he didn't want to fall out with Li Si directly. Hu Hai's throne has only been on the throne for a few months, and if Li Si does not rely on his prestige to suppress hundreds of officials, I am afraid that this monstrous questioning voice can overturn Hu Hai from the throne.

So no matter what, he couldn't fall out with Li Si at the moment, Zhao Gao had to coax Hu Hai for a long time, and Hu Hai was angry and stopped mentioning the dismissal of Li Si.

After returning to the bucket, Hu Hai closed his eyes for a long time before saying slowly; "Master, since I have reigned in the world, how pleasant it would be if I could enjoy the joys of the world and fulfill all my wishes in my lifetime."

Zhao Gao knew that Hu Hai was worried that this throne was not right, and he was afraid that it would be exposed. In fact, Zhao Gao didn't have this kind of hidden worry in his heart, the matter of establishing an heir was all planned by him, and the paper couldn't contain the fire after all, if the secret was leaked, he would die without a place to bury. Seeing Hu Hai like this today, he took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

After waving away the palace people on the left and right, Zhao Gao said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's concern should be a plan for the sand dunes, and the princes and ministers are also suspicious, and it is difficult for these people to guarantee that they do not have two hearts." Every time the old slave thought of this, he trembled, and he was afraid that something might happen. If the troubles of the henchmen are not removed, how can Your Majesty be happy for a lifetime? ”

Hu Hai nodded again and again, and said urgently: "Then master, if you have any way, say it quickly." ”

Zhao Gao thought for a while, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his face showed murderous intentions: "Your Majesty can only punish the law harshly, put the guilty people in a row and punish the clan, strike at the disgruntled ministers and princes one by one, and at the same time promote Your Majesty's henchmen and arrange important positions." In this way, you can sit back and relax and have fun!"

*****

When Li Si returned to his house, the night was getting dark, and it was already past dinner time. Calling a confidant asked; "Where's Li You?"

The servant bowed down and replied respectfully; "Back to the master, the eldest prince is drinking alone in the study."

Li Si snorted heavily, his face dissatisfied.

Since this rebel returned home, he hasn't given his father a good look, and today he wants to borrow wine to go crazy.

Pushed away Li You's study, only to feel a strong smell of wine coming to his nose, Li You was sitting on the desk drinking stuffy wine, there were several empty jars on the ground, and the house was full of wine.

Seeing Li Si coming in, Li You just raised his eyes, did not get up to greet him, and still just drank wine. Li Si was angry, stepped forward and knocked the wine jar away, and scolded angrily; "You rebel, do you treat your father like this?"

Li You was not afraid, he just raised his head and sneered; "Why not? If courtiers can abandon their kings, why should sons fear their fathers? ”

Li Si trembled angrily, pointing at Li You who was speechless for a long time.

"How many times have I said that Your Majesty was established by the edict of the previous emperor. Fusu acted perversely and had a lot of disobedience, so he angered the emperor and was given death, and I was just acting on orders. ”

Li You still sneered, his face full of disbelief. "Father, you go out and ask someone on the street, who doesn't know the good things you and Zhao Gao have done. Do you think that by sealing the mouths of people by power, you can convince everyone? Are you a fool when your son is a fool?

Li Si was silent for a long time, and this time he did not quibble, but sighed and said: "You'er, who do you think your father is doing this for, not for you, for the glory and wealth of our Li family." ”

"Father." Li You slammed his fist on the case and roared in a low voice; "You have been wise for half a lifetime, and you have made great contributions to my Great Qin, but in your later years, you ignored the country and society because of your own selfishness."

Li You pounded his chest in pain and said, "What is the crime of Fusu Gongzi?" He was worried that Sheji asked for his life for the people, but he ended up like this, which chilled the hearts of people all over the world, so what kind of popular will I have in Daqin! ”

"You know what, father. There are already dozens of bandits in Sanchuan County, you must know that I have an army of 100,000 in my hands, if the common people are not unable to survive, who will risk the danger of the whole clan to gather a crowd to commit gangsters. Sanchuan County, which is heavily garrisoned, is still like this, but what about other counties? The country of Daqin has long been lost to the hearts of the people. ”

"Being a father is also a momentary desire for profit, and now I regret it, but unfortunately the wood has become a boat, and we can only continue to support Huhai, otherwise our Li family will die and have no place to be buried."

Li You closed his eyes in pain, he knew that what Li Si said was the truth, one step was wrong, and he could only make mistakes and go to the end on a black road. If he was just one person, he could have led his army back to Xianyang and denounced Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's perverse behavior. But he still has a father, and his younger siblings, and a clan of hundreds of people, and he can't ignore it.

Li Si and Li You faced each other for a long time, silent. After a long time, Li Youcai said slowly; "Father, your mistake is that you shouldn't cooperate with Zhao Gao, a man-eating wolf, don't look at him being respectful to you now, once you become a stumbling block on his way forward, he will definitely show his fangs to you without hesitation."

Li Si was a little flustered when he heard this, he didn't think about this possibility, but every time he saw Zhao Gao's deferential face, he would relax his vigilance.

Li Si was already getting old and his physical strength was gradually exhausted, and after listening to Li You's words, his mind was also a little confused, so he raised his head and asked; "Then what do you mean we should do?"

Li You thought for a while, and then said; "My father has been the prime minister of Daqin for more than 20 years, and my protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, and I am the guard of Sanchuan County who holds the soldiers of the Central Plains, as long as you and I echo each other from afar, our Li family can be as stable as a rock, and the rivers and mountains of Daqin will not let Hu Hai and Zhao Gaohu come."

Li Si sighed with a bitter face, and said; "For the sake of now, that's all it takes."
