I instantly lost my sleepiness and jerked to my feet, only to feel dizzy.

Meng He hurriedly came up to help.

Holding back the discomfort, he opened the recital.

It was Li Shiyun who came.

There are only a few lines: The right prime minister is critically ill and knows a few things, please return quickly!

I finally knew where my heart palpitations came from.

"Order, return to Xianyang in an hour!"

It wasn't until the carriage galloped in the direction of Xianyang that Feng Zai woke up from his confusion.

The carriage rushed all the way, eating, drinking and sleeping in the carriage, although Feng Zai was very strange why he was in such a hurry to rush back to Xianyang, he already had a guess in his heart, and he wisely chose to keep silent.

Passing through Sanchuan County, I took Li You directly, although Li You looked inexplicable, but he still cautiously did not ask questions, and hurriedly handed over the county affairs and followed the convoy.

Rao was in a hurry all the way, and it took a full ten days to rush back to Xianyang.

It was already mid-March when we arrived in Xianyang.

I didn't go back to the palace, and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at Li Si with his eyes closed, I had mixed feelings in my heart.

"How's Lee Sang's health?"

Su He sighed lightly: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Xiang hasn't eaten for three days, and he only has less than half an hour of sober time every day, and he can only drink a little ginseng soup." ”

Su He didn't answer my question directly, but his answer said it all.

That's when Li realized why I took him back to Xianyang.

I didn't leave, walked to the side and sat down.

"Everyone else go out, and you sit."

After everyone left, I worried, "Is it possible to get better?" ”

Li Jie and Li You both looked at Su He expectantly.

Su He shook his head in embarrassment: "I have tried all kinds of methods, but the cause is the accumulation of overwork, and the wind and cold infected the year before last caused a lot of damage to Li Xiang's body......"

There was silence in the room for a moment.

I don't know how long I waited, but the sound of Li Si's cough came into the ears of several people.

Li Jie and Li You hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and I also got up and walked to the bedside.

When Li Si saw me, his eyes burst out with an inexplicable look.

After a while, Li Si said with difficulty: "See Your Majesty's ......"

I hurriedly said: "Li Xiang doesn't have to be formal. ”

Li Si's lips moved slightly, but he didn't continue to talk to me: "Jie'er, You'er, after the death of your father, you must assist Your Majesty with all your heart, if you dare to disobey, the spirit of your father in heaven will not rest in peace......"

The two of them had red eyes, and held Li Si's hand tightly: "Father, don't be like this, my younger brother and I will never be ashamed of Your Majesty and Daqin!" ”

After saying that, he got up and bowed deeply to me.

I said, "I believe in you. ”

Several people looked at Li Si, only to see Li Si raise his hand with difficulty and waved: "You all go out, I have something to say to your majesty alone." ”

The two got up and saluted and went out with Meng He.

I sat on the edge of the bed and comforted: "Li Xiang, don't think too much, take a good rest ...... your body."

Li Si squeezed out a smile: "The minister's body is counted in his heart, eight out of fifty, the destiny of heaven returns, the minister can be appreciated by the emperor in this life, assist His Majesty, and have no regrets in this life." ”

I didn't say anything more, Li Si and Ying Zheng are actually quite similar, they are both workaholics, Ying Zheng's early collapse has a lot to do with him staying up all night to deal with political affairs, Li Si can live until now is not too young.

Li Si suddenly looked stunned, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has been a generation of Ming monarchs, and the ministers have died without regrets, and there is nothing to advise." There is only one thing, the minister has been buried in his heart for thirteen years, and he doesn't know whether to tell His Majesty or not. ”

I bowed slightly: "What else can't Li Xiang and I say?" ”

Li Si sighed lightly: "Your Majesty must not resent the emperor after hearing this. ”

My eyes froze, and only then did I realize the special time that Li Si said: thirteen years!

I sat up straight: "Li Xiang, please speak." ”

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and calmly recounted the events of thirteen years ago.

————

In May of the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor, it became a mountain.

There are only Yingzheng and Li Si in the Chengshan Palace.

Ying Zheng's body had run out of oil, and he was reclining on the couch, only a majestic voice that seemed to be irreversible came.

"Prepare three edicts. The edict of Meng Tian, no matter what happens, he will not be allowed to return to Guanzhong without an edict, and he will make every effort to guard against the Great Wall; Zhao Tuo was edicted, and no edict was allowed to cross the five mountains, and he made every effort to pacify Baiyue. ”

Li Si only replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Ying Zheng's voice was silent for a long time before continuing: "Summoning Su to become a mountain." ”

Li Si's body trembled, always following Ying Zheng's side, if there was anything in Ying Zheng's mind that he couldn't guess, I am afraid he would have to touch whether his head was still there, maybe because of Ying Zheng's majesty, or because of his greedy power!

It's just that he didn't dare to say more, and replied: "Yes." ”

Ying Zheng noticed his movements, tilted his head, looked at Li Si like a tiger, and said in a low voice: "What? ”

Li Si bowed down in fear: "The minister obeys." ”

Then he got up and saluted and wanted to go out, but Yingzheng's voice came from behind: "Summoning the execution." ”

Li Si stopped as if he had taken root, and could no longer move a single step.

Ying Zheng spit out two identical words again: "What? ”

Although they are the same two words, Li Si seems to have heard different meanings from these two words.

He finally made up his mind, turned around with difficulty, bent down and bowed his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Death to the minister!" ”

Ying Zheng's voice was emotionless: "Say." ”

At this moment, Li Si gambled his net worth and life!

"Gongzi Fusu is generous and benevolent, and is known as a virtuous person...... Jane is in the emperor's heart, no ......"

Ying Zheng's face gradually became gloomy, and the silent hall seemed to turn into a mountain and pressed on Li Si, and Li Si suddenly regretted it......

It seemed that tens of millions of years had passed, and it seemed that only a moment had passed, and Ying Zheng's cold voice came: "Go ahead." ”

Li Si walked out of the main hall with frivolous steps, his face as pale as snow.

"The Emperor Summons You ......"

During the sentence, he stretched out his hand to help: "Li Xiang walks slowly." ”

————

This is the end of Li Si's words, although it is impossible for him to describe in detail his mental state and environment at that time, but I am already there.

I have experienced the sense of oppression that Yingzheng gives people, and that kind of pressure is definitely something that people can bear.

After Li Si finished speaking, his consciousness was gradually blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

I got up and sat down and took a sip of tea, but my mood didn't fluctuate much.

I have long suspected the matter of Chengshan, whether it is the three unpredictable edicts, the interception before arriving at Chengshan, the strange atmosphere after arriving at Chengshan, or the edict in Yingwu's hand that does not say who the second emperor is, and Chengxiao's performance during the eastern tour, it all shows that Yingzheng has been entangled between Fusu and Huhai.

Maybe Yingzheng changed his mind because of Li Si's words, maybe not.

Now that Yingzheng, Hu Hai, and Xingzhong are all dead, and Li Si is also in the blink of an eye, it doesn't matter.

I just feel sorry for the historical Fusu.

With his wisdom, if he became the second emperor, not to mention recreating Great Qin, it would be better than Hu Hai's bastard, even if it was just to make the people suffer a little less.
