Chapter 298: Li Si's sigh
Xianyang Prison, the place where important prisoners are held, a place that is better than ordinary prisons, a person sitting cross-legged, without the irritability of prisoners, seems very calm, and at this moment he is like an old monk in his meditation.
At this moment, two men walked in, one of them in black satin, looking noble, and the other following behind, old and expectant.
"Li Xiang, are you okay?"
Ying Zheng came to the threshold of the prison and stopped, looked at the people inside who were not in rags but were very shoddy, and asked.
This person is none other than Lis.
Since he was instigated by Zhao Gao to be imprisoned last time, he has been imprisoned here, and suffering such a calamity has tempered his heart and has a sense of detachment.
He opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the visitor casually, and did not have much fluctuation in his heart, but he also quickly got up and made a big salute.
"The guilty minister has seen Your Majesty."
Since the accident, Ying Zheng has only put him in prison, but has not convicted him, so he is still a minister at the moment, just a criminal minister.
Ying Zheng was also curious that Li Si could have such a heart, and was slightly surprised, so he asked: "Why didn't Li Xiang shout injustice?" You are in such a situation now that you don't want to exonerate yourself? ”
Li Si didn't have too many surprises when he heard it, and he was still indifferent, "The sinners are deeply guilty, and they are not wronged, and they are also to blame for today." ”
Ying Zheng nodded, Li Si can have such an awareness, which also shows that he has been mentally prepared before the accident.
"How is your Li family, don't you want to know?"
Li Si went directly to prison, and he didn't know anything about the outside world, but anyone with a conscience would ask about it, but Li Si didn't.
Shaking his head, he looked very detached, "What if you ask?" My sin is unforgivable for the nine clans, even if Your Majesty doesn't say it, the guilty can guess one or two. ”
He can still let go, Ying Zheng bowed slightly, but he still told him.
"Although you Li Si deserve death for your crimes, I am not a ruthless person."
This is not a lie, throughout the history of the Qin Dynasty, although Qin Shi Huang killed indiscriminately, he rarely killed the powerful, which is different from most emperors.
"The Li family did not punish the nine clans, but only made a general punishment."
"Is my son well?" Liston paused, and finally asked, as a father, he can not care about anything, but he can't not care about his son, no doubt, at this moment, he doesn't want to know anything, only want to know if his son is okay.
"Li You'an is well, he is still the county guard of Sanchuan, and his second son Li Zhan was exiled."
Such a disposition can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness to the Li family, Li Si's wife was exiled, and let Li Zhan be exiled to return together, which can be regarded as reuniting them, and finally leaving Li You, which can be regarded as preserving Li Si's bloodline.
Of course, this is also due to his selfishness, after all, Li You married a princess, and it should not be affected.
Li Si knelt down, knelt down in front of Yingzheng, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" ”
Ying Zheng opened the prison door, walked in without disgust, and helped Li Si up, "This matter is over, there is no need to do it anymore." ”
"For many years, I can only do this."
This is the benevolent side of Yingzheng.
Li Si said goodbye, there was a trace of peace and sigh on his indifferent face, and he said to himself with guilt on his face:
"My son Li Zhan, I am ashamed of my father."
Li Zhan has no fame and has been living under his protection, and he is seeking fame and fortune and completely ignoring his second son, thinking about it at this moment, he is really ashamed.
"I want to go out with you to the east gate of Cai to chase the cunning rabbit. But, no! ”
Endless lamentation!
If Li Zhao listens to it, he will sigh how similar history is, there are historical records, Li Si was killed by Zhao Gao, and he made such an exclamation before the execution, but the difference is that there is no execution at this moment, and it is not on the execution ground.
Ying Zheng was slightly moved, and replied: "Yes!" All you have to do is answer a few questions! This is also the wish of the former minister.
"Really?" Li Si was slightly overjoyed when he heard this, and looked at Yingzheng excitedly.
"Of course! I will order someone to announce Li Zhan's return to Xianyang, but you must answer my questions honestly. ”
Li Si knelt down and said sincerely: "To this day, the criminal has nothing to hide, and he must know everything. ”
This is the effect of the political dignitaries, blowing his nose and smiling, and suddenly became solemn:
"Li Zhao is the Li family?"
