Chapter Eighty-Five: Li Si Fell into Thought!
The situation of the First Emperor seems to have deteriorated again, and the driver was even berthed for a time because of this.
"What the hell is going on? Will Your Majesty's health improve? Zhao Si frowned and looked at Xia Wuji.
Xia Wuhe didn't answer, just let out a faint sigh.
Zhao Si glanced at Xia Wuji, who was full of sadness, and knew that Xia Wuji might not be able to do anything this time.
Zhao Si will not have much, in this case, he can only maximize the Puyu halo, and be responsible for the food safety and travel safety of the First Emperor.
After two more days, the First Emperor's health showed some signs of improvement, and he had eaten more food, so he continued his march to the sand dunes.
Originally, according to Zhao Si's changed plan, in order to avoid the sand dunes as much as possible, the place where the First Emperor was destined to die, he did not plan to let the driver anchor here and leave as soon as possible.
However, that night, the First Emperor suddenly fell ill and his condition deteriorated extremely.
The driver had to anchor in the dunes.
"Dune, ......"
Zhao Si sighed, and at this moment, it seemed that he had corresponded to history again in a trance.
"Doctor Xia, dare to ask Your Majesty's body, how sure are you?" Zhao Si asked seriously.
Xia Wuhe was silent for a long time, and finally did not give Zhao Si an accurate answer, Zhao Si understood Xia Wuhe's subtext, and from Xia Wuhe's point of view, the first emperor may have been more than lucky.
The First Emperor's drive was moored in the sand dunes, unaware at first.
"Gather the maids and guards of the palace!" Zhao Si pondered for a long time and gave orders.
A group of palace people who served the First Emperor in close quarters and even the guards were forcibly recruited by Zhao Si.
There aren't many people talking, and there are only a few dozen people in total.
These are all people who know the current situation of the First Emperor, and go in and out to serve the guards in close proximity.
"Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, I don't want to leak a trace of rumors, if there is any news, kill it!" Zhao Si opened his mouth expressionlessly.
Zhao Si's rare seriousness made the palace maids stunned in their hearts, and they bowed down one after another.
After that, Zhao Si selected and arranged the next service candidates among the handmaidens who knew the current situation of the First Emperor, and did not continue to expand the scope.
Let the current insiders continue to work, and the uninformed do not need to continue to participate, so as to further prevent the news of the First Emperor's serious illness from being leaked, so that the ill-intentioned can seize the opportunity.
After completing the next service schedule, Zhao Si went to Li Si privately.
"Li Xiang!"
Like Zhao Si, Li Si's expression was also extremely calm.
As the head of the hundred officials, Li Si often had to report the situation of the decrees to the First Emperor, so he naturally knew the recent situation of the First Emperor.
In addition to Li Si, among the accompanying officials who knew the recent situation of the First Emperor, there were Meng Yi and Zhao Gao......
Zhao Gao is the head of the ministers, and Meng Yi is the loyal minister of the first emperor, and these two people cannot be avoided no matter what.
"Your Majesty is sick, Li Xiang should also know, I met Li Xiang today to ask Li Xiang, the accompanying officials, how many people still know that Your Majesty is sick?" Zhao Si asked.
"Not counting the palace maids, apart from me, there should be only Zhao Gao and Meng Yi left." Li Si replied without thinking.
"Your Majesty is ill here, the pain has not improved for a long time, if it is not covered, I am afraid that the officials and soldiers of the convoy will be panicked, and I am also worried that it will be used by someone with a heart to take advantage of this news, I have ordered the palace maids who have learned of His Majesty's recent situation not to leak the news, and the hundred officials here, they still need Li Xiang to pay attention to one or two." Zhao Si bowed.
Li Si nodded, he could understand what Zhao Si meant, and he also supported Zhao Si's decision.
After all, the proverb that Zu Long died this year is still vivid, and if the news of the First Emperor's sick sand dunes comes out, I am afraid it will really make the people of the upper and lower levels panic.
"How is Your Majesty doing?" Li Si responded to Zhao Si's instructions, and asked again.
"Not so good...... Physician Xia was also helpless, and could only resign himself to fate for now. In the face of Li Si, Zhao Si still chose to tell the truth.
Li Si was shocked when he heard this, and his face became even more calm.
Xia Wuhe's medical skills are well recognized, if Xia Wuhe is helpless, then the illness of the First Emperor is really not to be underestimated.
"I'm going to be weak enough to search for a doctor...... "Li Si opened his mouth, facing this situation, even if he had high ability and talent, it would not help.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, the normal state of human beings.
"Do your best......" Zhao Si smiled suddenly, waved his hand, and left on his own.
Zhao Si himself is also a little confused, if the so-called historical correction really exists, Zhao Si himself does not know what the meaning of what he has done.
After digging the foot of the wall for a long time, is the final result to take refuge in Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao?
Zhao Si did not recognize such a fact, even if the death of the First Emperor was inevitable, Zhao Si planned to do his best to save and make up for it.
"If the First Emperor really dies, then Zhao Gao and Hu Hai will go down to be buried together!" A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Si's eyes.
It is true that Zhao Si knew that the first emperor's serious illness was mostly related to Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.
But if history wants to fix the anomalies caused by itself, then Zhao Si doesn't mind killing Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.
He wants to see if Fusu will succeed to the throne smoothly, without Zhao Gao's finger deer as a horse, and high-yield grain as a base, will Daqin die second.
To this day, Zhao Si doesn't know when his mentality has quietly changed.
At the beginning, Zhao Si just wanted to do what he could, and if he couldn't do anything, Zhao Si was also ready to run away and join Liu Bang.
Later, he was suddenly driven to the shelves by the First Emperor, and Zhao Si once thought of escaping the heavy responsibility of moving the noble order by running away.
But now, Zhao Si has no such thoughts in his heart.
Even if Zhao Si is a modern person, no matter from any point of view, the first emperor's trust in himself is worth Zhao Si's willingness.
After Zhao Si left, he left Li Si, the left minister of Great Qin, also with a sad face.
The situation of the First Emperor is not good!
Lees is worried!
Although Li Si was only a tool of the First Emperor for a long time, it is undeniable that the First Emperor gave Li Si everything he wanted, except for his unreserved trust.
The first emperor was very generous, and he never treated people with merit badly.
From any point of view, Li Si recognized the First Emperor as a good king.
Except for a little bad taste......
Emotionally speaking, Li Si can be regarded as a grassroots starter, who was personally discovered and promoted by the First Emperor, and still has the grace of reconstruction.
Suddenly hearing the news that the First Emperor was seriously ill, Li Si was also very anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help but pray secretly for the First Emperor.
Li Si knew that many things in Great Qin were all related to the First Emperor's own body, and once the First Emperor died suddenly, the impact on Great Qin could be said to be devastating.
Li Si didn't even dare to think about this question, he could only secretly pray that the First Emperor Jiren had his own heavenly appearance and would be able to survive the difficulties.
Throughout the afternoon, Li Si seemed absent-minded as he handled official business.
Emperor Shi had a serious physical problem, so more government affairs were handed over to Li Si.
After Li Si approved it, the first emperor personally examined and sealed.
The major events of the world are all decided on the small twists and turns and jade seals, and Li Si's rights have finally expanded again, but this time, Li Si did not have the slightest happiness in his heart.
A lot of twists and turns will only make Li Si extremely upset.
As a result, he was much slower to review the recitals.
Until late at night, after the last recital was completed, Li Si glanced at the flickering candlelight, got out of the car again, and looked at the first emperor's drive.
Driving around, it seems that everything is normal, as if it is parked in the sand dunes, just because the First Emperor wants to rest here for a while.
Li Si clenched his fists violently and looked up at the sky.
"The sky is so thin!"
Li Si sighed!
He has witnessed everything about the First Emperor with his own eyes, and he knows better how difficult it is for the First Emperor to get to where he is today.
And he, Li Si, the left minister of Great Qin, is actually the head of a hundred officials, and he has also been a tool of the first emperor for more than ten years, and people are not allowed to get close, and he has gradually become a tool of power.
It wasn't until this year that things finally turned around!
Li Si found a new path in Zhao Si's boy's mouth.
The temptation of becoming a saint and becoming a son suddenly woke up Li Si, who was immersed in power and reduced to a tool.
He wanted to blaze a new trail, and most importantly, the First Emperor was willing to cooperate with him to blaze this trail.
He received a lot of inspiration from Zhao Si and began to re-examine what he had learned throughout his life and to bring forth the new.
From controlling the people to being good at the people, this is the transformation of the foundation of Legalism.
From winning over the nobles to winning over Li Shu and thousands of Qianshou, a new path in front of Li Si is gradually unfolding.
The plan has been made!
Everything is just waiting to be settled!
According to the original plan, this time the world was inspected, and the rumors were completely defeated, and when the first emperor turned back to Xianyang, it was the time to implement the relocation order, and it was also the beginning of Li Si becoming a saint and bringing forth the new.
But......
All of this was overshadowed by the serious illness of the First Emperor.
A question that he had never thought about during the day couldn't help but come to Li Si's mind at this moment.
Li Si once told his son when he made a decision that he had found his home.
But if the First Emperor unfortunately dies, where should he go?
Where should Great Qin go?
Without the suppression of the First Emperor, if he wanted to achieve such an unprecedented feat, would he really not face a violent counterattack and fail because of this?
Take a step back and say ......
After the death of the First Emperor, is it really possible for him to carry out everything in his plan?
Who will support themselves? Zhao Si?
Li Si subconsciously didn't count Zhao Si in it, but even if Zhao Si supported him, what could he do?
He is just a close minister of the First Emperor, and once the First Emperor dies, Zhao Si is just a dispensable squire.
After that, Li Si had to think about something more realistic and not daring to think about.
Who will become the prince and who will succeed to the throne?
