Chapter 5: The Return of Lees

A month later, Meng Yi sent back good news, and Li Si finally decided to return to Xianyang after some hesitation.

That day, Li Si received a handwritten letter from Gongzi Fusu, and after some struggle, he opened it and read it. In the letter, Fusu earnestly hoped that Li Si could return to Xianyang to assist him, and pointed out Li Si's current situation in the letter: "Hu Hai is deaf, Zhao Gao is self-assured of his high authority, if he does not return to Xianyang early, sooner or later he will be harmed by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai." After reading Fusu's letter, Li Si had mixed feelings, and after hesitating repeatedly, he finally embarked on the road back to Xianyang.

When Li Si arrived in Xianyang, Gongzi Fusu went out of the city for ten miles to greet him personally. When Li Si's car arrived outside Xianyang City, Li Si saw Gongzi Fusu and his party standing on the straight road to greet him, and immediately ordered the coachman to stop, and after getting out of the car, he ran to Gongzi Fusu.

"Childe, Minister Li Si is ashamed of Childe" Li Si knelt down in front of Fusu and burst into tears.

"Prime Minister, please get up quickly, don't be like this," Fusu leaned over and helped Li Si up.

"Now that the prime minister is back, Fusu is not very happy in his heart"

"Childe, how can Li Si be virtuous, thanks to Childe for being so appreciated" Li Si is going to bow down again. was pulled by Fusu.

"The matter of the sand dunes, I know that it was not the prime minister's intention, but it was caused by Zhao Gao's coercion, I don't blame the prime minister, the prime minister assisted the first emperor to sweep away the six countries, and he made a great contribution. Fusu dared to ask the old minister to help him and restore my great Qin's national strength. ”

"Minister Li Si Xie Gongzi, the old minister must do his best to assist Gongzi" Li Si swore loyalty to Fusu.

Fusu knew that Li Si was sincere. With Li Si's assistance, Fusu's pressure will be reduced a lot. Although half of the territory of Great Qin has fallen into the hands of various rebels, the government affairs are more complicated than before, and the so-called troubled times are full of worries.

When he returned to Xianyang, Fusu deliberately arranged for Li Si to ride in his car. After all, there are still many ministers in the DPRK and China who have opinions on Li Si, so Li Si needs to be supported by the Su platform. Fortunately, Li Si was deliberately omitted when Fusu issued the document before, and Li Si's actions in the Dune Revolution were not made public, otherwise the voice of opposition to Li Si in the DPRK and China would never be suppressed by Fusu.

The next day, the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace. Fusu withstood the pressure and appointed Li Si as prime minister. And made the first important decision since the prison of the country:

"Prime Minister, how many people are still serving in the military to build the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, the Great Wall and the Afang Palace" Fusu looked at Li Si and asked.

"Yu Gongzi, there are more than 123,000 people in the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum, and 20,000 military service. The Great Wall has more than 305,000 people and more than 52,000 military servants. There are more than 57,000 people in Afang Palace, and more than 10,000 people are in military service," Li Si accurately reported the number of servants for the three projects. Fusu nodded in satisfaction.

"Rank ministers, these three projects have suffered a lot of loss, which has made the people of Daqin suffer deeply, and I intend to cut the two projects to serve the people in order to reduce the burden on the people of Daqin." Fusu threw out the introduction and waited to see the reaction of the ministers.

"Childe, the Huns have invaded my northern border for many years, and have plundered deep into the interior many times, and the Great Wall has blocked the military might of the Xiongnu invasion territory, so that my Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, and Yunzhong counties can be peaceful, and now Gongzi intends to cut the soldiers and civilians serving the Great Wall, and I am afraid that the four counties of the Great Wall will be slaughtered by the Huns again. The construction of the imperial mausoleum is an important matter of our dynasty, and it cannot be abolished. The minister thought that the only thing to build Afang Palace was to reduce the military service of the people, and Xianyang already had many palaces such as Zhangtai Palace, Xingle Palace, and Ganquan Palace, and the construction of Afang Palace could be postponed for a while. "Uncle Zhao said.

The ministers looked at Shusun Tong in disbelief, during the period of the first emperor, there were ministers who advised the first emperor not to build the Afang Palace, but he was given death by the first emperor. After that, no one dared to speak out about the disadvantages of building Afang Palace. Today, Shusun Tong actually dared to stand up and propose to postpone the construction of Afang Palace, which really shocked many ministers. Everyone sweated for Uncle Sun Tong.

Fusu glanced at the ministers with a gloomy face, and no one dared to look directly at Fusu, so they lowered their heads one after another. Looking at Shusun Tong again, he was already nervous and didn't know what to do, looking left and right to find rescue. Seeing everyone's reaction, Fusu felt a little funny. It seems that he is still a little dignified. Shock the ministers, and the subsequent resolution will be passed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I intend to release all the Lishan Imperial Mausoleum and the Great Wall to serve the people, and only leave the military service to continue to repair the mausoleum and build the Great Wall. The construction of Afang Palace was suspended, and the construction of the palace was carried out again when the national strength was strong, and all the people were released. Do you have any objections? ”

After the "intimidation" just now, no one dared to oppose the resolution on supporting the Soviet Union, and 100 officials of the DPRK and China expressed their approval of the resolution on supporting the Soviet Union.

"Isn't it too much to 'intimidate'?" Fusu felt that his intimidation was a little too much, will there be any ministers who dare to admonish him directly in the future? Now that the resolution to release the people has passed, it is time to appease the injured little hearts of the ministers.

"I listened to what my uncle and grandson said, and I was deeply inspired, so I stopped building the Afang Palace. Dr. Waiting, but he dares to speak out and advise, but he can be a model for everyone, and it seems that the word Edict is going. Promote Uncle Sun Tong to be the chief doctor"

The ministers looked at each other, and the development of things was somewhat unexpected.

"Childe, the minister has something to play"

"Childe, the minister also has something to play"

……

Seeing that Uncle Sun Tong was promoted because of his advice, the thoughts of the ministers instantly became active, and they all wanted to speak up to each other. Where will Fusu give a group of courtiers a chance to give direct advice, this group of bad old men, but it is very bad, and how many incidents will arise if they are entangled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is something to play tomorrow, I will make an appointment with my wife today to sweep the tomb of my father-in-law Wang Ben, and we will discuss it tomorrow." After speaking, Fusu quickly left the Qilin Palace. Leaving a group of ministers messy in Fusu's back.

"Didn't Madame have a difficult birth when she gave birth to a little boy the year before last?" The black lines in the minds of the ministers were entangled with each other.

However, it was said that at this time, the Dongjun Mansion was temporarily requisitioned by Hu Hai as the palace, and Hu Hai was kicking shuttlecocks with a group of palace maids and eunuchs in the lobby of the palace. And the corridors on both sides of the lobby are full of chicken coops.

Because Hu Hai likes cockfighting, the hundred officials sent a bunch of fighting cocks to Hu Hai as he liked, and Hu Hai naturally did not refuse to come. Because there were too many fighting cocks, some of them had to be stacked in the corridors on both sides of the lobby. Zhao Gao actually took advantage of the waves to propose that if there was a dispute in the court, it would be ruled in the form of cockfighting.

The most incredible thing is that Hu Hai actually accepted Zhao Gao's suggestion with joy, and he also cleverly crowned his fighting as Dr. Chicken, ranking first among the hundred officials.

"Your Majesty, Liu Ji, a death row prisoner in Dangjun, entangled a group of thieves to break through the Peixian County Government half a month ago, kill the county order, smash the county government, and ask Your Majesty to send troops to fight as soon as possible," a minister stepped forward and said.

"Presumptuous, I am a great Qin country, Tai and the people, how can there be a rebel and a thief? It is clearly nonsense and an attempt to deceive His Majesty. Zhao Gao scolded sharply.

"Ah...... Yes, this person must be deceiving me, fortunately Zhao Cheng is wise, otherwise I would have been deceived by you...... Liared. Hu Hai put on a look of sudden realization.

"Come on, drag this person down and cut him in half"

Immediately, two soldiers entered the hall and dragged the paralyzed ministers out of the main hall.

In the next few days, ministers died under Hu Hai's butcher's knife one after another, and no one dared to report the military situation to Hu Hai, and Hu Hai was also happy to be idle, busy kicking shuttlecocks, fighting cocks and ...... all day long.
