Qin asked

Mo Dou didn't pay too much attention to Lu Buwei's counterattack. After all, this matter was handled well in history, so it was not his turn to worry.

However, it was true in fact. Zheng Guo's matter was resolved smoothly, and it could even be said to go too smoothly.

Just a quarter of an hour after Yingzheng hurriedly dismissed the court yesterday, Li Si appeared in front of Yingzheng without waiting for Yingzheng's summons. In front of: Performing a play in front of Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng plays the bad face and is responsible for driving people away when angry, while Li Si plays the bad face and is responsible for admonishing and keeping people.

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, and readily agreed.

The plan was indeed very successful. A copy of the "Book of Chasing Customers" and a copy of "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Customers" showed the demeanor of a great country.

But he overlooked one point, that is Ying Zheng's position.

Ying Zheng cooperated with this plan, and he has no reason to refuse, but this does not mean that Ying Zheng is willing. Under the shadow of Lu Buwei's long-term control of the government, what Ying Zheng hates the most is someone trying to control him, and Li Si committed a crime. over this taboo.

He is too impatient, because of his age, he is eager to climb to a high position, the previous study and waiting took him too much patience, after tasting the taste of power, he is even more fascinated by it, and this time is undoubtedly a This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he succeeds, he will be famous all over the world and thus become the most suitable spokesperson for the Qianjin Pavilion. Although Ying Zheng has promised him this position before, it is obvious that Li Si is more willing to believe in himself.

So after learning of Lu Buwei's actions, his first choice was to withhold the news instead of telling Ying Zheng. Undoubtedly, he succeeded. Lu Buwei's failure to counterattack and Ying Zheng's cooperation became the stepping stones to his success.

Although the loss of Ying Zheng's trust made him a little distressed, but the matter had come to this point, Li Si had no choice. He understood how important Qianjin Pavilion was, and he was willing to pay the price for it.

"Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" has been hung at the door of Qianjin Pavilion. The words are gorgeous, the parallelism is extravagant, and it has the momentum of unifying the world. In a short period of time, it has completely become the signboard of Qianjin Pavilion. If there is no accident, it will definitely be It has been handed down to later generations, and history has proved this point. Even in the original history, "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guests" has been passed down for more than 2000 years.

So now, Li Si can only bite the bullet and go on. Although he understands how tragic it is for people who lose the trust of the monarch in history, he is confident that even without Ying Zheng's trust, Li Si can still get along well in the court. Back then He was able to get into Yingzheng's eyes with his own ability, and now he can continue to climb up with his talent.

What about the king's trust?Didn't Shang Yang get enough trust? Didn't he end up being torn apart...

...

Mo Dou didn't know Li Si's thoughts, but now he was worried about Meng Tian, ​​who was not safe on the battlefield. Meng Tian was like a nouveau riche, eager to spend all the money he just earned...

It's fine to just buy military rations to supply the army privately, but this guy still wants to buy armaments, he's so daring!

Therefore, on the second day after Lu Buwei broke out of the Zheng Kingdom, Mo Dou stayed in his workshop and devoted himself to admonishing Meng Tian: It is your business to waste the money, but it must not be used directly for the army.Maybe Meng Tian doesn't understand why his own money can't be spent, but Mo Dou understands this authority issue very well. Although most people in this era are as ignorant as Meng Tian, ​​Mo Dou insists that even if you want to spend money for soldiers, That must be donated to Ying Zheng first, and then Ying Zheng will provide it to the soldiers.

Mo Dou worked hard to write down all the interests and relationships. Thank God, he was finally able to use the paper in a fair and honest way. God knows how painful it was for him to communicate with Meng Tian on the bamboo slips before. Talking is like squeezing toothpaste. Have fun now.

"What is Dou busy with?"

He was very familiar with this voice, Mo Dou paused, looked up and saw that it was Ying Zheng, but the other side had a bad look, which made Mo Dou hesitate. Could it be that Zheng Guo hasn't dealt with this matter yet?

While Mo Dou was hesitating, Ying Zheng picked up Meng Tian's letter and quickly browsed through it, and raised an eyebrow with a sneer: "It's such a big handwriting, I don't know that General Meng has such assets."

"Your Majesty forgot the writing brush?" Ying Zheng's tone was very bad, and Mo Dou's heart skipped a beat, but he immediately calmed down, and Mo Dou calmly stood up and saluted Ying Zheng, and waited until Ying Zheng took his seat After that, he knelt down and defended Meng Tian, ​​"Your Majesty has more points, but he is busy these days and has no time to take care of this matter so he doesn't know about it."

Hearing Mo Dou's words, Ying Zheng was taken aback. Has he been so busy recently?It wasn't until he yawned unconsciously that Ying Zheng had to admit Mo Match Maodou's words, and his raised eyebrows drooped listlessly: "Indeed, there have been too many things recently."

The establishment of the Qianjin Pavilion, the minister's opposition, and Lu Buwei's counterattack, all these things rushed towards him like swarms of bees, especially Li Si's small actions, which made him restless.

If Li Si could plant a nail in the Lu Mansion, if Li Si dared to hide the news... then who around him can be trusted?You must know that the previous personnel transfer was still under the auspices of Li Si, and no one could report whether Li Si had placed personnel in it, including Li Si himself, who could not prove it.

Ying Zheng himself is not a suspicious person, but after these years, his nerves have become more and more sensitive, and his sleep quality has been declining year after year. He often drifts between half-dream and half-awake. And Li Si's behavior yesterday made Ying Zhenggan lie down all night.

This morning Ying Zheng's anger and irritability were not all staged, he was really angry, but not at Zheng Guo, but at Li Si, and just now, he almost blamed Meng Tian.

Mo Dou frowned, Ying Zheng's state is not right...

While observing Ying Zheng carefully, he continued to defend Meng Tian: "Meng Tian has a childish temperament, and his mind is all on the army, and he wants to spend all his money on it, so he has such a big budget."

Ying Zheng's face softened a little, and he quite agreed: "It's a child after all."

Noticing the blue color under his eyes, Mo Dou lowered his voice, ignoring the age gap (20-year-old Meng Tian, ​​who is the same age as Ying Zheng:...you are the child!), and continued to judge Meng Tian in the tone of an elder: "Yes. Ah, so I always feel that I am great and want to do something big to prove myself.”

Ying Zheng finally laughed. Although it was only for a moment, he felt relaxed. He picked up the reply letter he was writing just now, read it, and pondered for a moment: "But if you stop it, it will chill the heart of the minister again. You should Set up an agency..."

"Fund," Ying Zheng's words also inspired Mo Dou, he said these two words unconsciously, facing Ying Zheng's puzzled eyes, Mo Dou tried his best to explain, "It's like a trusteeship place, where other people hand over the money to the king, the king It can be directly used in Qin State in the name of King Qin, and then reward those people to a certain extent."

Politics is like this. Although it is only a link, it can change from being suspicious of the monarch and his subjects to being in harmony with the monarch and his subjects. In this way, a large family can earn a reputation with confidence, and no longer need to worry about being suspected by their own monarch.

"Good," Ying Zheng put down the letter and nodded wearily, "I will send someone else to do it."

Mo Dou also nodded in agreement. It was agreed at the beginning that Mo Dou would never be an official. Mo Dou's attitude undoubtedly pleased Ying Zheng. He finally relaxed, pulled the mat Mo Dou put aside for a nap, and lay down lazily on his side.

The atmosphere finally calmed down, Mo Dou picked up the pen again, slowly completed the letter to Meng Tian, ​​and then pretended to casually ask about Zheng Guoqu: "Is your king doing well today?"

Mo Dou has begun to doubt the butterfly effect.

However, no one answered this question. What responded to Mo Dou was Ying Zheng's slightly heavy breathing...

Mo Dou turned his head in doubt, and was surprised to find that Ying Zheng fell asleep soundly in such a short period of time. The other party's sleeping position was not good. He supported his head with one hand, and all his weight was on the left half of his body. Standing sideways, this is not a normal sleeping position. It can only be said that Ying Zheng had no intention of sleeping.

Can this fall asleep?Are you so sleepy?

Mo Dou pursed his lips, wanting to wake up the other party and ask him what time he went to bed last night, but in the end he sighed helplessly and gave up the job where he might make a sound, quietly guarding Ying Zheng's side and waiting for the other party's wake up.
