A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty
Chapter 565 Coercion and inducement
Li Si has been the prime minister of Qin for half his life, and he has the fate of all the six kingdoms in his hands. When it comes to cunning and conspiracy, he considers himself second, and no one dares to say he is first. But he never expected that he would be beaten by this kid in front of him. Calculate!
"You want to be the emperor?"
Li Si smiled
"Now that the crown prince's position is a foregone conclusion, it is only a matter of time for Fusu to inherit the throne. Do you...don't want to usurp the throne? How can the people of Qin be convinced by the throne obtained by usurping the throne? I'm sorry for this matter... It’s really hard for a humble minister to do that…”
Now there is no need to hide Zhiyu's ambition. Seeing that Li Si still wanted to put it down at this moment, he slowly said again:
"If these six countries can be destroyed by the Prime Minister, why is it so difficult to kill Fusu? Once Fusu dies, I will be the only legitimate heir."
"You, you want to kill everyone? Are you crazy?!"
"Crazy? I think adults are naive."
Zhiyu put his hands behind his back, looked at the silver-covered Qin Palace, and smiled.
"The fight in the world is never about friendship. Not to mention that Fusu is just my half-brother. How can we talk about friendship?"
"Since you know that the Queen is not your biological mother, I think you should also know that your biological mother once attempted regicide. Based on this alone... it will be difficult for you to inherit the throne! Even if you successfully become the emperor, what will happen? Can you make all the ministers surrender?"
"The prime minister's intention...is that he won't help me?"
Li Si was so cold that he lost consciousness. He lowered his head and looked at the white snow at his feet, and let out a long sigh.
Decades of working with Ying Zheng flashed before his eyes, and Li Si believed that his feelings for Qin were deep and passionate. He loved Qin and the current monarch. The prosperity and strength of this land were his own. He had worked so hard for it, just like his own child, and Li Si couldn't bear to destroy it.
Maybe...if he doesn't agree to his own daughter, he is doomed. But at this moment, Li Si was full of enthusiasm for Qin. When faced with the choice between the country and his beloved daughter, Li Si chose the former.
"Guan Li was embezzling and accepting bribes. I knew it but didn't stop it early, which led to the current situation. My daughter..."
His lips trembled a little
"Since she has enjoyed it, then whether your majesty wants to kill or behead her, it will be her life!"
Li Si's eyes were slightly hot, and he was ready to sacrifice his daughter. He didn't want to betray Ying Zheng's trust. The monarch who had a long talk with him had given him 100% trust. He had entrusted Fusu and the queen to him. How could he betray it?
He shook his head and spoke again
"Li Si is incompetent, please... young master, please give up this idea."
It started to snow heavily in Xianyang City again. This veteran's love for Qin and his loyalty to the king were as white as the snow at this moment, without any impurities. Li Si planned to sacrifice his daughter's family to preserve his love for Qin. loyalty.
"Sir, it's snowing again. Do you want to wait here for your father to call you into the palace?"
When Zhiyu saw that his daughter was about to die, he refused to bow his head. He knew that this road was dead, so he had to change his strategy.
Li Si said nothing.
Time passed by, and Ying Zheng still hadn't returned to the palace. Shimi was waiting anxiously in the palace. It wasn't until someone hurriedly came to report to her that she realized that Li Si had been waiting outside the hall for almost two hours.
"The Prime Minister is already old, so why doesn't anyone persuade him to go back? Didn't anyone inform His Majesty?"
"No one dares to persuade me! My Majesty..."
The servant replied
"I have sent someone to notify your Majesty, but your Majesty is so angry right now that he doesn't say anything. He said... if the Prime Minister wants to wait, just let him wait. If he waits any longer, the Prime Minister may not be able to save his life!"
"What a fool! Why didn't you come and inform me earlier!"
Shimi quickly stood up and walked to the main hall. The snow on the road was getting deeper and deeper, and as expected, Li Si was still standing at the door of the hall, waiting for Ying Zheng to call him.
"Lord Xiangguo!"
Shimi called out and saw that he had lost all color from the cold, his movements were slow and he could not turn his head.
"Quickly, put the cloak on Mr. Xiangguo!"
The servants on the side were busy putting a mink cloak on Li Si's shoulders, and Shimi asked someone to hold an umbrella for him.
"My lord, why are you doing this? If Guan Li is innocent, Your Majesty will not unjustly accuse him!"
Li Si was so frozen that he couldn't raise his head, and even his eyelashes were covered with frost.
"I just want to save my daughter..."
Li Si responded with a trembling voice. At this moment, he wanted to ask Shikiya to save his beloved daughter, and he also wanted to tell him about Shiyu's ambition. If Li Si could seize this glimmer of hope at this moment, he could reveal all of Shiyu's ambition. , maybe there is still a possibility of getting out of the quagmire. But the relationship between Li Si and Shimi is not just a monarch and a minister, not even a friend. Although they have known each other for decades, Li Si cannot say that he respects or loves the queen in front of him at all. They have already turned against Han Fei. Li Si has his own pride and dignity. Although he wants to save his beloved daughter, he cannot. He couldn't say the word "please" to Shimiya.
Now that it is difficult to love my daughter, why not myself? Li Si is inevitably confused in his old age, and at this time he is also dazzled by his daughter. He is afraid that if he tells Shimi about what he has given, Shimi will not trust him and think that there is another conspiracy.
"Guan Li's corruption and perversion of the law, if your beloved daughter had not known about it, His Majesty would not have wronged her. Now His Majesty is angry about this matter. Doesn't you like this... add fuel to the fire and force His Majesty to kill them?"
"Empress...if my daughter knew about it, would Your Majesty let her go?"
Li Si slowly raised his head, looking even older than before.
Shimi didn't want to lie to him, so she shook her head
"The law has no mercy. The Prime Minister should know your Majesty's temperament better than I do. If your daughter is complicit, Your Majesty will never be merciful."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Shimi had no choice but to persuade him again.
"How about you go back first? As soon as there is news from His Majesty, I will send someone to the house to deliver the message?"
Seeing that he was motionless, Shimi frowned and asked
"Don't you, Mr. Xiangguo, believe me?"
Li Si was silent.
Shimiya couldn't help laughing at such a scene, she shook her head and sighed
"We are old friends after all, but now at this life-and-death moment, Mr. Xiangguo still doesn't want to trust me. Is it because of Han Fei? Don't worry... I am not a grudge person. What happened today has nothing to do with Han Fei. I will not look at the matter with personal emotions. Don’t worry... I will advise your majesty to investigate the matter, and your daughter will never be wronged... But if it is... your daughter knows that her husband is corrupt and bending the law but If you want to protect me, then please put the overall situation first and stop forcing your majesty to show mercy."
Shimi waved his hand, and before Li Si could say anything else, he asked two eunuchs to help him.
"Use my palace's car to drive Mr. Xiangguo back to his home."
Li Si stood in the snow for several hours without seeing Ying Zheng's face. When he got home, he didn't have time to take a breath when he heard his wife crying.
"Husband! Husband... my daughter's house is imprisoned from top to bottom, and the door is guarded by guards. What should I do!!"
