Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 196 Borrowing Li Si’s hand to meet Qin Shi Huang!

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have only one request, and that is to hand me over to His Majesty at the court meeting."

"The court meeting?"

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Li Si frowned even more tightly. At this moment, Li Si felt that Lu Sheng's requests were stranger and stranger, even unreasonable. At this moment, Lu Sheng looked at Li Si and sighed slightly in his heart. Now the life and property of his family were in Gao Yao's hands. He had to do whatever Gao Yao said as much as possible.

From leaving the southern border all the way to Xianyang, Lu Sheng felt how far Gao Yao's hand stretched. When he arrived in Xianyang, Lu Sheng could also find that many people were staring at him secretly, or even openly.

Lu Sheng understood that Gao Yao was telling him that Gao Yao was watching his every move. Did Lu Sheng want to die? Of course not. And Gao Yao did not leave Lu Sheng a dead end. Instead, he gave Lu Sheng a chance, a chance to live. If he seized it, Gao Yao promised to bring Lu Sheng back to the northern border and live a stable life.

Lu Sheng is no longer the Lu Sheng who dared to disappear with Qin Shi Huang. At that time, Lu Sheng was alone. Now he has four or five children. How could he not listen to Gao Yao?

"Master Prime Minister, do you think that if I meet His Majesty in private, regardless of whether the medicine I got is real or fake, will His Majesty let me go just because I left without saying goodbye?"

"The only possibility is during this public offering of medicine. The court meeting is the most appropriate time. As long as my medicine is effective, His Majesty will not kill me in front of everyone in the court. Instead, he will reward me."

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Li Si half believed it. There was one thing that Lu Sheng said was correct. If he went to see Qin Shi Huang alone, regardless of whether the medicine was effective or not, Lu Sheng's head would most likely be gone. Even if it could be saved, it would be difficult for him to see the sun again in the future. If it didn't work, he would die. If it did work, he would probably be controlled by Qin Shi Huang and kept refining the elixir of immortality without anyone even knowing.

"If that's the case, why do you think I will help you?"

At this time, Li Si still did not easily choose to believe Lu Sheng's words, but was still very cautious.

"My Lord Prime Minister, my presence is beneficial to you."

"Oh?"

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Li Si showed a sneer at this time. The reason why he was willing to meet Lu Sheng was because many things about Qin Shihuang were related to this Lu Sheng. Now Lu Sheng showed up on his own initiative. Li Si was curious to meet Lu Sheng. However, strictly speaking, Lu Sheng was just an alchemist, and he was the prime minister of the dynasty. The gap in status between the two was huge. Whether Li Si was willing or not was up to him alone.

The more important thing now is how to deal with the changes in the court situation, rather than focusing on a Taoist priest.

"Mr. Prime Minister, His Majesty is probably feeling a little unwell right now. If there is anyone in this world who most wishes His Majesty a long life, it would be you, the Prime Minister, who truly wishes His Majesty good health."

Lu Sheng's words instantly hit the nail on the head for Li Si. Even though many people in history said that Li Si conspired to kill Qin Shi Huang, in fact, he had no reason to kill Qin Shi Huang. In fact, Li Si himself was the person who least wanted Qin Shi Huang to die. Because of Qin Shi Huang's trust, Li Si had a great influence in the court and the country.

In addition, Qin Shihuang trusted Li Si enough. Li Si would never harm Qin Shihuang. When Qin Shihuang was in power, his position was more stable than anyone else. Most of Qin Shihuang's policies were related to him and needed his execution. If it were any other emperor, it would be hard to say whether Qin Shihuang would support him so much, not to mention the change of power.

"Lu Shengwei came here for this very reason. Besides, the prophecy has been broken, and the crisis destined for the Qin Dynasty has disappeared."

"What destiny crisis?"

"The one who destroyed Qin is Hu!"

"What? The Huns are not... You don't mean to say..."

Hearing that Lu Sheng had once again brought up the idea that the Hu people would destroy Qin, Li Si also looked disdainful. After all, Qin Shihuang believed in such absurd remarks, but that didn't mean Li Si was willing to believe it.

Anything should be considered carefully, as such consideration may easily lead to problems. Coupled with the timing of Lu Sheng's return, an idea began to appear in Li Si's mind: Hu does not represent the Xiongnu at all.

Before Hu Hai's accident, no one would have thought that the incident might be related to Hu Hai, but Hu Hai's death did cause a stir, and Li Si naturally knew it. Now Lu Sheng suddenly said frankly that the prophecy had been broken and the crisis had been resolved. This could not be referring to the Huns, who had always existed, and the Qin Dynasty did not have the ability to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

This is a fact. After all, the northern territory is too large, and the Huns are too mobile. They are no match for the Qin Dynasty in a head-on attack. As long as the enemy fights while moving, the Qin Dynasty has no way to deal with it. This situation has continued for thousands of years, and there is still no good solution, let alone now.

The death of Hu Hai was a perfect match, which made Li Si shocked. The crisis of the Qin Dynasty did not come from outside, but from within.

"Lu Sheng, do you know what you are saying? You are looking for death!"

At this time, Li Si could not help but warn Lu Sheng. Isn't this looking for trouble despite the wrath of Qin Shi Huang? This is definitely looking for death. Qin Shi Huang said that he had to say this in front of the officials of the court. This can almost be said to be the same as actively seeking death.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you have already said that I am seeking death. I wonder if you have thought about it from another perspective. Can this be considered as stabilizing the government and the people's hearts?"

"Your Majesty may not know the current situation in the world, but doesn't the Prime Minister know it? Taxes and corvées are heavy in various places, and there are complaints everywhere. Bandits and refugees are beginning to increase in various places. The Prime Minister must know about it, right? Not only the Prime Minister, but also the ministers in the court know a lot. Stability is more important now. What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Listening to Lu Sheng's eloquent talk, Li Si at this time never thought that Lu Sheng actually had such vision and perspective. He couldn't help but be amazed. Originally, Lu Sheng was just an alchemist, but now he found that Lu Sheng's vision and perspective were so far-reaching.

"Prime Minister, whether this matter succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
