Chaotic Qin

Chapter 144

When Li Si was thinking about how to meet Qin Prince Chu and the prince so that they would look at him with admiration and reuse him, Ying Zheng was also thinking about the same problem.

In fact, from the very beginning when Qin Zichu proposed to ask Li Si to write a Xiaozhuan and submit it alone, Ying Zheng decided to use Li Si again.

He decided to grind Li Si's temper and let him know that he was just an insignificant person.

Therefore, Ying Zheng deliberately handed over to Li Si such a matter that consumed a lot of energy and did not get any benefits, and then, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person, he did not mention the matter of summoning him at all.

Otherwise, even if it was for Han Fei's sake, even if the person who asked to meet the king and the crown prince was a student who had never heard of it, Ying Zheng would meet him to see if he had real talents.

If Li Si had an extraordinary understanding of Ying Zheng in his previous life, then as the two monarchs and his ministers who faced each other day and night, Ying Zheng also had an extraordinary understanding of Li Si.

Especially now that Li Si is just a stunned young man who has just entered the political arena. With Yingzheng's 30-year career in power, he can grasp Li Si in an instant.

Once Li Si surrendered, he would be the most loyal subject and try his best to fulfill the monarch's request - as long as the king can still control the power, he will be the best eagle dog to use.

South Korea is gone, and Zhao Guo is also gone.

However, there are so many officials and nobles left in the two countries, and the problem cannot be solved simply by guarding them.

Even if Qin Zichu deprives them of their property and status, as long as these people are alive, they will still be able to gather strong popularity, and they will never give up their delusional desire to regain their rights.

Ying Zheng did not forget the assassination he encountered during his third parade after unifying the world in his previous life.

Therefore, even though he told Qin Zichu not to worry about this matter, he was already prepared to send someone to deal with these nobles in private.

And Li Si was the candidate that Ying Zheng was looking for.

After all the hard work to get such an opportunity, could Li Si not do his best?

Of course, Li Si will try his best to make the work entrusted to him by Ying Zheng beautiful and impeccable.

Compared to Qin Zichu's picky view of Li Si, Ying Zheng took it lightly.

Using the raw is worse than using the familiar, Li Si's talent is outstanding.

When Ying Zheng was alive, he could grasp that Li Si would not engage in petty tricks in private, so it was much better than retraining other people.

The king's use of his ministers only pays attention to two points, one is talent, and the other is loyalty. As a king, loyalty is often much more important than talent.

Ying Zheng was not immune either. After confirming Li Si's loyalty, he always believed that Li Si was available.

Qin Zichu slept all morning before waking up.

He thought in his heart: the moment he opens his eyes, he can appreciate the smiling eyes of his lover, which feels really wonderful.

Qin Zichu smiled naturally.

Seeing him wake up, Ying Zheng immediately said worriedly, "Did the vibration wake you up when I threw the slip away?"

Qin Zichu grabbed his palm and sat up, and took the letter from the table that Ying Zheng threw aside in anger.

After looking around from the beginning to the end, he chuckled and said, "Are you angry because of these survivors again?"

Ying Zheng had deliberately let Qin Zichu see the conspicuously placed letters, which were full of nobles from South Korea and Zhao who had not been killed, and did something to hinder them from implementing the decree.

Seeing that Qin Zichu had attracted his attention, he said bluntly, "I want to send someone to take care of this matter."

"Who?" Qin Zichu rolled up the slips in a good-tempered manner, and placed them neatly beside Ying Zheng's hand.

After Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Zichu, he said, "Li Si."

Qin Zichu's hands paused slightly, and then, unexpectedly, he said, "Okay."

Qin Zichu's original dislike of Li Si was very obvious. Ying Zheng didn't expect him to be so easy to talk at this time, so he couldn't help but look at Qin Zichu in surprise.

Qin Zichu couldn't help laughing.

He said seriously: "In the past, I opposed Li Si because I thought he was not loyal to you, but you were able to promote him to become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. You have also loved each other for decades, and even married each other as sons and daughters. It can be seen that in government affairs, You have maintained a high degree of consistency. And what you did during your administration, related to Li Si, apart from the fact that the burning of books and Confucianism has been distorted by later generations has been greatly criticized, he also has a clean reputation. It can be seen that Li Si is a A person who can be used. Therefore, I will not prevent you from using him."

Upon hearing Qin Zichu's analysis, Ying Zheng's eyes flickered with excitement, and he held Qin Zichu's hand and said, "Zi Chu is the one who knows me."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Qin Zichu and assured him: "In the future, I will choose ministers with more noble character, Zichu, don't worry."

Qin Zichu's originally calm face showed cracks.

He let out a low gasp, and finally clenched Ying Zheng's hand and said, "Ah Zheng, after I connected with you, the bottom line of being a human being has been continuously lowered. But no matter what, I don't want to see your body lying in the ground after your death." Being rotting in the summer, being carried back to Xianyang City. It's so sad."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "...is there such a thing after my death?"

Although Qin Zichu also said that the Qin Dynasty was defeated not long after his death, he always avoided talking about his afterlife.

Ying Zheng guessed that he might have suffered some hardships after his death, but he didn't expect the real result to be so tragic.

No wonder Qin Zichu had such serious resistance to Li Si!

"Ah Zheng, I shouldn't have told you." Qin Zichu couldn't help but sighed.

He knew that as soon as these words came out, even if Yingzheng and Li Sizai got along well with each other in government affairs, the rift between them was completely formed.

Ying Zheng shook his head wearily.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "With Li Si's strength alone, he is absolutely incapable of doing this. I'm afraid Zhao Gao, who is CRRC Commander, also participated in it?"

Zhao Gao, as the CRRC Commander, not only controls the emperor's carriage and horse itinerary, but also controls Yingzheng's jade seal and the distribution of edicts.

It can be said that Zhao Gao is the real confidant of the emperor.

Without Zhao Gao's cooperation, Li Si's energy would not be able to cover the sky with one hand, and his corpse could be sent back to Xianyang city with a rotting body thousands of miles away.

Qin Zichu nodded heavily.

He intentionally made the nobles of all countries impoverished, never able to stand up, and even asked Ying Zheng to say that other nobles who had destroyed the country would be imprisoned and never hired, in order to completely cut off Ying Zheng's chance of appointing Zhao Gao.

Because, Zhao Gao has an identity that is easier to attack than Li Si - he is a distant relative of Zhao Wang, a nobleman of Zhao State.

Ying Zheng said calmly, "If you don't need me, Zhao Gao is just a useless person without me."

The two of them stopped talking about this matter.

Fan Yuqi, who is far away from home, feels that he is very unlucky!

"General Li Mu, please believe that the last general has never done anything to collude with the enemy and treason the country, it was all because of that treacherous official Yao Jia who framed me!" Fan Yuqi was pinned to the ground by two soldiers.

His body was clearly tied up, but Fan Yuqi still struggled unwillingly, shouting for grievances incessantly.

Li Mu was completely unmoved, and even nodded very calmly.

Fan Yuqi nodded vigorously as if he had gained hope, and said loudly: "General Li Mu, please trust the general, I will be able to explain this matter clearly - the general is only loyal to the lord! The rebellion caused the lord to lose the territory that he worked so hard to build!"

Hearing Fan Yuqi's rebuttal, Li Mu couldn't open his mouth to refute, but it didn't mean that other people couldn't speak.

"So instead of General Li Mu and Zhao Wangqian's subordinates, you will join forces with Zhao Wangqian's men, buy people's hearts in the army, and prepare to kill me, the lord's servant, at any time? General Fan Yuqi is really loyal to my great Qin. Yao Jia really I am so moved that I wish I could kneel down and kowtow to you." Yao Jia sneered, and opened his mouth to spit out a series of sarcastic words.

Fan Yuqi blushed immediately.

But he still did not give up and said: "Yao Shangqing doesn't understand, I am deliberately using Zhao Wangqian's power to find out how many people with evil intentions in the army, so that I can deal with them!"

The smile on Yao Jia's face was even more mocking.

He nodded and said with a gentle smile, "I didn't expect General Fan Yuqi to be such a loyal subject. It seems that Yao Jia misunderstood you."

But before he finished speaking, Yao Jia had already punched Fan Yuqi hard in the face.

He shouted angrily and asked: "The reason why the lord left you in Zhao is to reduce the hatred of the residents of the Zhao territory towards our Qin country and to surrender completely. The lord has repeatedly ordered you not to have any other selfish motives, and you must not be suspicious of General Li Mu. General Li Mu is the only one in everything." The head of the horse is looking forward - have you obeyed the orders of the lord? Are you loyal? Now that the evidence is convincing, you dare to argue again. Good! Good! The lord is wise, and he has already guessed that the spies will say so. Yao Jia is here this time I was just ordered to bring you back to Xianyang City, and I'll let you down after hearing this."

After Yao Jia finished speaking, he slowly calmed down.

He looked at Li Mu, with a look of guilt on his face, knelt in front of Li Mu on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Recently, General Li Mu has been wronged. Yao Jia uttered humiliating words this time, and I hope the general will forgive him."

Li Mu helped Yao Jia up, and said in the same solemn tone: "Li Mu embezzled food and grass to help the residents of Zhao, and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. The king heard the rumors and not only did not suspect me, but also kept sending food to the front line, fully supporting Li Mu. Li Mu felt guilty, and asked Yao Shangqing to submit Li Mu's letter of guilt to the lord after returning to the capital—Li Mu has failed the lord's trust."

"The general is overwhelmed." Yao Jia smiled and pushed away the letter presented by Li Mu's soldiers, and said with a smile, "Every time General Li Mu delivers food to the people, it shows that it is a gift from the lord. The general treats the lord with kindness. The people of my Daqin, the lord can only be grateful, how could he blame the general for unnecessary actions? Please General Li Mu take back the letter of guilt, otherwise Yao Jia will not dare to go back to Xianyang City."

Li Mu still shook his head and rejected Yao Jia's kindness.

He said very seriously: "The lord has great trust in Li Mu, but it is Li Mu's mistake to embezzle food and grass without authorization. Even if it is to obtain a better result, it cannot cover up Li Mu's wrongdoing. If the lord does not use this to punish Li Mu , Li Mu's conscience is uneasy."

"……it is good."

Yao Jia was silent for a moment, and finally took Li Mu's letter of incrimination, and set off on his way home.
