Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

"My lord... there are still some things..."

Han Li's eyes flickered, as if he was still worrying about something, Li Si's mind moved, and he suddenly understood that Han Li should have something to say to himself alone, but he was worried that everyone present was also a member of the military system. It's not good to save their face, so it's better for Li Si to be the villain.

Li Si nodded clearly, and said a few perfunctory words to the generals who congratulated him, and then said to Han Li: "The general has worked hard all the way, and there are still some things that Si wants to ask the general."

As soon as Li Si wanted to ask Han Li something, all the generals at the side hurriedly said goodbye. After a while, Li Si and Han Li were the only ones left in the open space of the garrison camp. No one spoke first, and the atmosphere was tense. Somewhat depressing.

In the end, it was Li Si who broke the uneasy silence first.

"Han Li, what do you want to tell me?"

Although Li Si looked at him with confusion, he was extremely calm, which made Han Li not know how to speak. He asked himself in his heart, is it really right for them to do this?

But Han Li also understood that this issue was not something he should consider. As a general of the country, no matter whether the decision was right or wrong, he could only follow orders.

After a while, Han Li reluctantly replied:

"The king ordered me to escort you back to Xinzheng."

"Escort? When did I have so much face? I have to trouble General Han Li to personally escort me back to Xinzheng, just like escorting a prisoner."

Li Si asked half-jokingly, although Han Li is only a Weiwei among the nine ministers, he is in charge of the [-] troops stationed inside and outside Xinzheng City. One hundred thousand troops, personally ran to the border to pick him up and return to Xinzheng. Li Si thought to himself that he didn't have such a big face.

What Li Si said was just a joke, but Han Li didn't take it as a joke. As soon as Li Si's words fell, Han Li fell to his knees as if unable to hold on.

"My lord! This is the end of the matter, and Han Li has to tell the truth! Before my lord returned to South Korea, the deputy envoys who accompanied my lord to South Korea had already returned to China!"

It was only then that Li Si remembered that during the time when he was left in Xianyang Palace by the King of Qin, the deputy envoys who went to Qin with him seemed to be still in the post. It turned out that they had quietly returned to the country before he came back. Yet?

But what does this have to do with Han Li's arrival?

Li Si's heart was full of doubts. Looking at Han Li who was kneeling on the ground avoiding his eyes, he suddenly understood something, and his face gradually turned pale: "What did they say?" Thinking of that terrible possibility, Li Si's voice Can't help but tremble.

Han Li was slightly startled, he forced himself to raise his head, looked Li Si in the eyes, and said word by word: "They said that your lord has already entered the state of Qin."

A sentence like a bolt from the blue made Li Si's mouth open in surprise, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Because he has no reason to refute.I was worshiped as a teacher by King Qin, and stayed in Xianyang Palace for more than half a month. Everyone has reason to believe that I have chosen Qin State, and the reason why I returned to South Korea was just to be a spy for Qin State. Destroy Korea.

After a long time, Li Si looked at Han Li in front of him, and heaved a long sigh: "Do you believe it?"

Han Li hastily said hesitantly:

"My lord, I... I naturally don't believe it..."

"Yeah, what's the use if you don't believe it? The key is, does he believe it or not?"

Before Han Li finished speaking, Li Si said bitterly.

"My lord, there is nothing the king can do. The clan wants to punish the lord, and the king is reluctant to let the clan compromise. The position of the prime minister has not been moved, but the new Han said that he is the left prime minister. Everything will wait until the lord returns to Xinzheng. . . . to discuss further."

Han said, isn't it one of the Korean clan?It's a descendant.

Li Si smiled wryly. Sure enough, he had offended too many people before. Now it's the clan's turn to catch his mouth. In addition, he is not in Xinzheng. They will naturally try their best to divide their power and drag themselves into trouble. Well, I can never turn over.

In Li Si's view, anyone could doubt him, but the only thing he could not accept was that Han Fei also suspected him like this. They were once so close. Could it be that Han Fei didn't understand what he was thinking?

But he also wanted to thank Han Fei for taking great pains to confer titles and fiefdoms for himself. Is this to appease him, or to find a way to imprison him in South Korea?

Even sending Han Li to take him back to Xinzheng was planned by Han Fei early in the morning.

Now that things have come to this, who can he blame?Blame Han Fei for being ruthless?He still blamed himself, blamed himself for overestimating Han Fei's trust in him. He forgot that no matter what, Han Fei was the king, and he would not tolerate a single person making decisions forever.

Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Li Si's face.

"I think General Han should not be the only one who came to escort me this time. There must be a lot of swordsmen ambushing around this camp."

Han Li was shocked, and quickly explained:

"The king ordered me to bring five thousand soldiers, just to protect the safety of the adults all the way, and there is no other idea!"

"is it?"

Li Si's eyes turned to the emptiness of the east, and there seemed to be nostalgia and melancholy in his eyes.

But when Han Li took a closer look, Li Si had already turned his gaze back. There was neither joy nor sorrow in his eyes, only a slumped coldness: "Then I really have to thank you, Your Majesty."

==

Escorted by Han Li and five thousand soldiers all the way back to Xinzheng City, Xinzheng City in front of him, the place where he entrusted his dreams in this life, the place where he fought for it, has now become a completely strange cage, where , what he will face is the attack of the Korean clan.

In a somewhat depressing atmosphere, the group finally arrived outside Xinzheng City. Five thousand soldiers stayed outside the city, while Han Li and a dozen of his personal guards escorted Li Si into the city secretly. He did not return to his own. Instead, he was taken to the old house where he lived in the first place - the house that originally belonged to Han Fei.

Regarding this, Li Si could only smile wryly and think:

Han Fei didn't throw him directly into prison, which treated him well.only……

There are armored warriors inside and outside the house that Li Sibu has never seen before. No matter where he goes, there will be people following him. How is this different from being in prison?Such a day is even more aggrieved than in Xianyang Palace.

Li Si had read the articles on the bamboo slips in the study countless times, and he didn't have the patience like Han Fei, who could calm down and write articles. Every day, Li Si could only stare at the yard outside the door in a daze under heavy surveillance, while Li Si Feeling calmer than ever before, recalling all the past, he thought of reducing the power of the clan, carrying out reforms, training new troops, mining iron ore, and going to Qin as an envoy. Li Si had a clear conscience, but in In the eyes of the clan, all this has become a handle for them to attack themselves.

He thought of his previous life again, and climbed up little by little amid the king's trust and suspicion.

He should have gotten used to it by now, but why was he so bored when Han Fei was so suspicious?

During the crazy days, Li Si thought about everything he could think of, but the only thing he didn't want to think about was how to explain it to Han Fei.

Although the leader in charge of guarding here hinted to Li Si many times that if he had something to say to the king, he could convey it on his behalf, but every time, Li Si just shook his head and politely refused.

Just like that, one day after Li Si was imprisoned for another half a month, the door of the confinement room was finally opened. Li Si subconsciously looked out the door, and a familiar figure appeared in front of his eyes.

"Zhang Ping!"

Li Si was startled suddenly, stood up and shouted in surprise.

Seeing that Li Si was fine, Zhang Ping felt relieved: "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really feel sorry for you."

Li Si smiled indifferently, and invited Zhang Ping into the room.

Zhang Ping sat down on his knees, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, he told Li Si what had happened in the past half month.

Zhang Ping told Li Si that after investigation by the spies, the deputy envoys who had returned from Qin had actually been bought by Qin, and Li Si was no longer suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

The clans could no longer make a fuss about cooperating with the enemy, so they seized on Li Si's previous affairs of gaining power, saying that Li Si was a minister of power and sycophant, and had to be removed.

Han Fei, on the other hand, was also hesitating whether to let it go or not.

What Zhang Ping said was very pertinent, without favoring any party, but at the end of the talk, Zhang Ping also persuaded with some helplessness: "The king trusts Brother Li, but the clan is too tight. If Brother Li is willing to write Something will definitely make the king change his mind."

The smile on Li Si's face froze slightly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Ping asked tentatively.

"Brother Li is blaming him?"

Li Si didn't answer, and based on a few words from others, he cut his power and imprisoned himself, a despicable and simple way of divorce, and Han Fei was probably just playing tricks, and it was really embarrassing for Han Fei to tolerate him for so long .

Although Li Si didn't show it, Han Fei's actions had chilled him.

So, he didn't want to explain anything.

After a long time, when Zhang Ping thought that Li Si was not ready to say anything, he suddenly heard Li Si say: "Can you accompany me to the backyard for a walk."

Zhang Ping didn't know why, but he agreed anyway.

After being locked up for so long, it was the first time Li Si walked out of the room, and Li Si blocked the sun above his head with some discomfort.

After getting used to it a little bit, Li Si found that the guards were no longer guarding the door, but had retreated to a farther place.

Under surveillance from a distance, Zhang Ping and Li Si walked towards the backyard together. Before they got there, Zhang Ping smelled a faint fragrance first.

"It seems to be the scent of bluegrass." He said to himself.

He also smelled that fragrance, and heard what Zhang Ping said, Li Si's footsteps stopped suddenly, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned and walked back.

"Brother Li!" Zhang Ping shouted in surprise from behind, but Li Si continued to flee here without looking back.

Sure enough, he could no longer face everything related to Han Fei.
