Since Zichu took over as the king of Qin, in order to balance the power of officials in the court, the left and right prime ministers were specially set up, although Lü Buwei nominally served as the left prime minister with a higher status, plus the crown prince, but Lü Buwei's dominant situation gradually aroused the suspicion of the king of Qin, and the real power slowly fell into the hands of the right prime minister Li Si. In order to continue to gain the trust of King Qin, Lü Buwei gradually took the initiative to retreat into the background, and lived in seclusion on the grounds of teaching the prince, coupled with Zhao Ji's frequent pillow blowing, King Qin slowly regained his trust in Lü Buwei.

Li Si inherited Guiguzi, before entering Qin, he had already been famous, the king of Qin knew that Li Si came to vote, he was very happy, and immediately entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and Li Si is indeed talented, and in the past few years, he has constantly improved the legal system of Qin, and kept Qin in good order, and the king of Qin has been able to enjoy himself in the palace with peace of mind, so the king of Qin is favored by Li Si.

Recently, the northwestern frontier of the Qin State has been harassed by dogs, and there have been constant wars, so Li Si, who is in charge of the government, and Zhao Gao, who is in charge of palace affairs, have frequent contacts.

"Lord Li must have an urgent matter when he comes to visit late at night, so the Sprinkle family will go to report to the king." When Zhao Gao saw Li Si coming, he took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Li Si hurriedly saluted: "It's really a father-in-law." Zhao Gao was busy ordering people to watch the tea and set up a seat, serving Li Si carefully, and at the same time entering the inner hall to tell the King of Qin, Li Si was grateful in his heart.

"King Qiyu, the right prime minister Li Si has an urgent matter to see." Zhao Gao went straight into King Qin's bedroom, looking panicked. At this time, King Qin was drinking and having fun with the beauty, and when he saw Zhao Gao suddenly break in, he was startled, and then said angrily: "Bold minion, dare to disturb this king in the middle of the night, don't you want to die?" Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The king forgives his sins, the villain is light-hearted, how dare he disobey Prime Minister Li Cheng." The villain said that the king had gone to bed and asked Prime Minister Li Cheng to come back tomorrow, but he was scolded by Prime Minister Li Cheng, saying that the affairs of the Qin State were all defeated by lazy people like villains. ”

King Qin was furious and scolded: "Okay, you Li Si, you dare to accuse Sang and Huai of accusing the widow, it seems that if you don't give you a little power, you really forgot who is the king of Qin." Zhao Gao, pass on my message, and say that the widow still has important things to deal with, and let him wait in the side hall. ”

"Yes." Zhao Gao left satisfied, and there was another wave of laughter and obscenity in the room behind him.

"Lord Li, the king was drinking and having fun with the beauty, and when he saw the villain coming in, he didn't have time to listen to my report, so he ordered someone to beat me out, but it hurt our family's flesh and skin." As he spoke, he stretched out his red and swollen hands to check with Li Si. Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly said: "It's really embarrassing for my father-in-law, Li Si did come here late at night because of the urgency of the situation." Please also ......"

"Master Li, let's go back first, the king is in high spirits tonight, and our family really doesn't dare to disturb." Zhao Gao saw that Li Si still had to insist, so he hurriedly interrupted.

Li Si shook his head helplessly, so he had to give up and staggered away with his tired body.

Let's say that the Qin State seems to be extremely powerful in recent years, but due to the continuous war, the consumption of people's power is huge, and there has long been an undercurrent in its interior, and peasant uprisings have occurred from time to time in various places. However, some officials of the Qin State were so horny that they wanted to take advantage of the uprising to ask the imperial court for a large amount of food and salary to enrich their personal pockets, and to be knighted in the battle to exterminate the rebel army, so sometimes some uprisings were deliberately forced by the government. During this period, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the coercion of officials and the people against each other, are too numerous to mention.

Li Si entered the palace late at night for this matter, and some people reported that the county guard of Sanchuan County lied about the military situation, and wantonly slaughtered innocent people to ask the court for rewards for military merits.

Li Si came back from the palace in a huff, feeling that this matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise it would cause chaos, so he ordered his son Li You to carry the tiger talisman to secretly sneak into the Sanchuan County Guard's Mansion, quickly take down the county guard, and behead the public. Li You was ordered by the prime minister to temporarily take the post of Sanchuan County Guard, rectify military discipline, pacify the people, and finally put an end to a riot.

When the news reached the King of Qin, the King of Qin was furious, but at this time, Li Si had already stated all the ins and outs of the matter, and found several officials and officers of Sanchuan County to corroborate it.

Back in the mansion, Li Si's mind settled down a little, and he thought hard, the law of the Qin State that he had worked hard for several years thought that he had been extremely thorough, and he didn't expect that there would be such a big flaw, which was greatly used by these shameless officials.

Li Si thought to himself that many of the laws were determined by the people before, and few punishments involving officials and nobles were involved, which was of course also influenced by the idea of 'punishing doctors without doctors' at that time.

Li Si pondered for a long time, and suddenly strode into the study, unfolded the bamboo slips, and wrote hard, and soon after, the most stringent law on the governance of officials in history jumped on the paper, which was the 'art of supervision' that later brought Li Si to death.
