Lao Zongzheng is now in addition to the big court, basically no longer go to the court. Although his body is tough, his attention is not as good as before, and he always listens to it and wanders his mind, so he simply let him rest in the house.

When he arrived at Zongzheng Mansion, Ying Hiiragi was also there.

After the two of them saluted, I wondered, "Ying Hiiragi, why are you here?" ”

This kid has his own internal history mansion, and he doesn't stay in his own mansion, why are you skipping work and running here.

Ying Hiiragi hurriedly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, Zong Zheng is very concerned about the lazy man that the court will say, and the general called the minister to ask for details, worried that there will be a similar situation in the clan. The minister has already made it clear to Zongzheng in detail that if His Majesty has something to discuss with Zongzheng, the minister will retire. ”

I nodded, I had already sprayed Li Si and Feng Zheng, and I didn't bother to talk about him in front of Yingwu anymore.

Ying Ji bowed and retreated, but found that his good brother Feng Zheng seemed to be glaring at him, and Li Si's expression was also very subtle, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he went out.

A few people sat down, and I smiled and said to Ying Wu: "I saw that Zongzheng was in good spirits at the court meeting, and I want to come to feel better?" ”

Yingwu's old face showed a smile, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty Xie cares, the old minister is not as good as day by day." No, while I can still do something for Your Majesty and Great Qin, I will call the Ying Hiiragi boy over to ask for details, so that there will be no moths of my Great Qin within the Ying clan. ”

My heart warms, it has to be the people surnamed Ying who care about the country of Daqin.

"Lao Zongzheng has been working hard for Daqin all his life, so he doesn't have to worry about these little things."

Yingwu's smile was still the same: "It's okay, it's okay." Your Majesty is here for the marriage of the eldest princess, right? ”

I nodded, and went straight to the point, lest I forget what Yingwu was talking about......

"I want to summon the eldest princess and those teenagers to Pingzhang Palace in three days, and I have already informed the harem in advance, but no one has expressed any objections, so I still need Zongzheng's roster."

Yingwu got up and said, "Your Majesty waits." ”

He turned around and took the roster and handed it to me: "His Majesty He Lao came in person, the old minister originally wanted to run errands for His Majesty, but now it is a problem to walk, it is really old!" ”

Yingwu returned to the couch, and the next person was about to step forward to help him sit down, I looked up at Feng Zai, Feng Zai immediately got up and walked two steps quickly, and helped Yingwu to sit down.

Li Si smiled slightly, and said: "Where do these things need to bother Zongzheng, Feng Xiang and I are willing to share the worries for Your Majesty and Zongzheng." ”

Feng Zai helped Yingwu sit down, returned to the couch, and echoed: "What Li Xiang said is that we, the courtiers, will do our best. ”

Yingwu said with emotion: "Your Majesty has the assistance of the two of you, and Great Qin can be prosperous." ”

I glanced at the roster and there was nothing wrong with it. He immediately raised his head and said, "Zongzheng is right, you two must do your best to seek the country." ”

glanced at Yingwu again, waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Feng Si and let him handle this matter." You two pay attention, don't go wrong. ”

The two got up and took leave.

Seeing the two of them go out, I said the real purpose of coming to see Yingwu: "I hope to marry Yingtao to Li Jie, what about Zongzheng's intentions?" ”

Yingwu restrained his smile, paused, and said solemnly: "The old minister is rarely sober, so he speaks bluntly." If His Majesty wants to take control of Li Si through this, it is naturally the best choice. If he hoped to find a good home for Ying Tao's child, Lao Chen was a little worried. ”

I frowned slightly, and I didn't shy away: "The latter is the heaviest, and the former just has this consideration." After all, Li Jie is Li Si's son, and his age is similar to that of Ying Tao, so it is indeed an excellent choice. Is Zong Zheng worried about Li Si, or is he worried about Li Jie? ”

Yingwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Li Jie is a good boy, compared to his brother, his mind is not so deep. Lao Chen is still worried about Li Si. When the emperor was alive, Li Si was quite favored, but the emperor always felt at ease with him, and every time he went on patrol, he asked Feng Qujian to stay in Xianyang. The emperor once said to his ministers that Li Si is a capable minister, but he works in a scheming and does not understand personnel, and he will eventually suffer from it. ”

I nodded, Ying Zheng's evaluation of him is in a word, and he has indeed been defeated by his excessive attachment to power in history.

"But I've knocked him a few times, maybe something will change?"

Yingwu shook his head: "Your Majesty thinks that what the old minister said is that he is afraid of power and not virtue?" Big fallacy also. Li Siqi is neither afraid of power nor morality. The former, when he was just a small guest, he dared to submit the "Book of Exhortations" to the emperor; The latter, his friend Han Fei entered Qin, and Li Si was the one who tried his best to advocate killing him, although the emperor acquiesced, which also shows that he was also a person. ”

I think of the fact that in history, in order not to repeat the mistakes of Shang Ying, Li Si actually killed his son-in-law Fusu and supported Hu Hai instead, this kind of indifferent and ruthless operation is indeed difficult for ordinary people to make.

"Does Your Majesty still think that the emperor is not at ease with him, because he is worried that he will rebel? Not really. The emperor was worried that Li Si would die a hundred years later! ”

I was stunned and wondered, "How do you say this?" ”

"The Emperor was very fond of Lis. Let me ask, if Your Majesty can control Li Si, will Your Majesty not like this kind of person? ”

I nodded, who doesn't like to be able to be a minister.

Seeing this, Yingwu continued: "But because the people offended by Li Si can crowd the entire Xianyang City, and it is only a county system, he has offended both the family and Confucianism. The emperor hoped that His Majesty could inherit the throne, but he was worried that His Majesty would not be compatible with the Legalists, and there would be discord between the monarch and the ministers. ”

Yingwu suddenly smiled: "People say that the king of our Qin State is unkind, and none of the people who have been Xiangguo end well." With the experience of the past, the emperor was naturally relieved, so he gave Li Si the supreme glory, and married all his children to the son and princess, in order to firmly bind Li Si to the emperor, and the monarch of later generations may be able to leave Li Si alive in the old love. ”

I smiled helplessly, it seems that Yingzheng really likes Li Si, but he paid it by mistake after all.

"Li You has already married my third sister Yingliu, if I marry my eldest sister to Li Jie again, will he be loyal to me?"

I really don't know how to control Li Si, in history, Yingzheng gave him the preferential treatment of "all men are princesses of Qin, and women are married to princes of Qin", he still resolutely betrayed Yingzheng, how can this kind of person change him?

My eyes gradually became sharper, could I really only let him follow in the footsteps of Shang Marting? Li Si's only advantage or weakness is that he is not a party, otherwise with Zhao Gao's lobbying alone, how could Hu Hai easily exterminate him, so I am still confident in killing him!

Yingwu Dongruo watched the fire, and I didn't guard against him, so I could see through what I was thinking at a glance.

After thinking for a while, he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty really wants to use him?" ”

"That's nature, otherwise why worry about him."

Yingwu nodded: "Li Si once said: The extreme of things declines, and I don't know what to tax!" It shows that he knows that he has offended too many people, and a very human minister makes him afraid. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he has not liquidated him, but he must still be afraid in his heart. ”

I frowned slightly: "I treat him well, and now he is the right prime minister of Great Qin, Anhou, and his sons are all in high positions and princesses, and there is no reward for him." ”

Ying Wu smiled slightly: "That's because Your Majesty doesn't know people like him, Li Si doesn't want this, even if Your Majesty gives him more glory and wealth, he will still live in fear all day long." ”
