Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Mr. Xinling's wide network and fast efficiency really made Li Si speechless.

After that day, he had already sent people to sneak into the state of Qin, and within a few days, a shocking news began to spread among the people of the state of Qin: Ying Zheng was not Yi Ren's son at all, but Lu Buwei's son.

Rumors spread in the Qin State at an unbelievable speed. In the teahouse and tavern, every narrator said spit, as if he had seen all this with his own eyes: Lu Buwei dedicated Zhao Ji, who had long been pregnant, to the time. The stranger who was still a proton, did not notice it, and favored Zhao Ji in every possible way. Soon after, Zhao Ji became pregnant, and the child she gave birth to was the current King Qin.

Of course, in order to prove that what he said is indeed based, the narrator will often list a lot of reasons. For example, Zhao Ji gave birth to a child in less than ten months since she was pregnant, and the doctor who had diagnosed Zhao Ji disappeared mysteriously. Already...wait wait wait.

Hearing such rumors for the first time, the clan of the Qin State was somewhat shocked. Lu Buwei, one of the parties involved, was so frightened that he didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, he rushed to the palace of the Empress Dowager Huayang and visited Changping in the clan. Junchang Wenjun, not for other things, just to defend himself one or two.

"The old minister presented Zhao Ji. Even if Zhao Ji was pregnant beforehand, how could I know whether the child is a boy or a girl... Those who spread rumors are so heartbroken!"

Faced with Lu Buwei's tearful confession, the Empress Dowager Huayang only gave a cold snort in reply, and Changping Jun Chang Wenjun said a few words of comfort on the surface, but he was still full of doubts in his heart.

Although no one can jump to conclusions without solid evidence, but how do they know what Lu Buwei, a Jia man, is planning to send Zhao Ji to the late king.

Rumors spread quickly, and Qin State's counterattack was also fast. After appeasing the clan, and Ying Zheng had returned to Qin State, Lu Buwei began to rectify the rumors in Qin State under the authorization of Ying Zheng. Rumorers, genocide.

Under such severe punishment and harsh laws, no one in Qin State dared to discuss this matter, and the rumors gradually disappeared in Qin State.

Rumors are easy to control, but how should the five-nation alliance, which has already seen its initial scale, deal with it?

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said: "In fact, it is also very easy to solve. What is the five-nation alliance for? It is nothing more than money and land. The main thing is to send envoys to promise the cities of the five countries, and then use a lot of money to buy the officials of various countries. The alliance will naturally collapse on its own. gone."

Ying Zheng praised it and ordered Lu Buwei to send someone to do it immediately. The next day, the envoys carrying a lot of money quietly rushed to various countries, and an invisible contest began like this.

The five-nation alliance is on par with Qin, but it is said to be on par.

The Qin army is brave, but its number is not as large as that of the five countries. The five-nation alliance army looks mighty, but it is like a mess because there is no common ground.

After the two sides entered a stalemate, Qin sent envoys to Wei, Zhao and Han, expressing their willingness to cede the city, sign a covenant, and bribe powerful officials with large sums of money.

Now that he had obtained the city he wanted, and the ministers kept advocating by his side, all the countries withdrew from the alliance one after another, and the army withdrew from the Hanoi barracks overnight.

As in countless previous situations, the five-nation alliance that took several years to build collapsed within a few days.

But what is different from the past is that South Korea, which has always been a weak country, has reappeared in front of the other six countries with a brand new attitude in this alliance. In terms of military strength and weapons, it is not inferior to the other countries in the slightest, and its national strength Significant improvements have been made.

What is even more frightening is that these progresses seem to have only just begun.

At the time of the autumn harvest, South Korea had a good harvest. What is even more gratifying is that Prime Minister Han, who has been lobbying the various countries, has returned to South Korea.

The people in Xinzheng City had already been waiting by the pipeline, and Han Fei had already held a banquet in the palace, avoiding the welcoming crowd. Li Si didn't go directly to the palace, but went to Zhang Ping's mansion first.

Compared with the last time we parted, Zhang Ping's face was a little haggard, and Li Si couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it.

"During this time, I really worked hard on you."

At this time, Li Si also understood Zhang Ping's painstaking efforts in entrusting his son to him.After Li Si left, at such a special and special moment, Zhang Ping could only deal with the clan and the reformers. Not one-thousandth of this danger.

"It's good that you come back safely."

Zhang Ping just waved his hands, and before Li Si could say a few words to him, the child who got off the carriage rushed towards his father whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Daddy! When I went out this time, my son saw a lot of interesting things!"

Seeing his son, Zhang Ping immediately became radiant again, and he asked softly, "Really? What's fun? Tell Dad about it."

Seeing that Zhang Ping and his son must have a lot to say after such a long time, Li Si knowingly wanted to leave. Before going out, Zhang Ping seemed to have no intention of asking Li Si: "Are you going to see him?"

"Yes." According to the agreement between him and Han Fei, Li Si would leave after the matter was resolved, but before leaving, Li Si felt that he still wanted to see Han Fei.

Zhang Ping hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, which made Li Si feel a little strange.

After entering the palace, the attendants took Li Si directly to the garden in the inner palace, and then said respectfully, "I'm going to inform the king right now, please ask the prime minister to wait for a while."

After the attendant left, Li Si waited for a while but didn't see him report back, so he walked around the garden casually.

In autumn, all the flowers in the garden had already withered, but Li Si could smell a faint fragrance coming along with the autumn wind.After walking along the dark fragrance for a while, Li Si saw in astonishment that all the weeds were gone, only the orchid bloomed just right.

Bluegrass, bluegrass, what did he plant this large area of ​​bluegrass in the palace to reminisce about?

Looking at the solitary orchid, Li Si felt a little lost. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far behind: "Madam, go back quickly! Your Majesty does not allow anyone to come here..."

lady?

Li Si turned his head and saw a gorgeously dressed woman walking towards her, followed by a flustered maid.

Hearing what the maid said, the woman looked disdainful:

"What's not allowed, I'm not allowed to wait for those idlers! I'm Lan Ji, the king's only concubine!"

While talking like this, Lan Ji happened to see Li Si who was standing beside the orchid grass garden, her pretty face immediately turned cold, she pointed at Li Si and asked, "Who are you? How dare you be here !"

Li Si didn't bother to answer, he glanced at Lan Ji lightly, thinking in his heart: This is Han Fei's Princess Han?Is this the type that Han Fei likes?

For some reason, when Li Si knew that Han Fei already had a princess, Li Si was not only a little surprised, but also a little unacceptable for a while.

In his previous life, Han Fei did not marry a wife. He said that he had always envied himself. He had a wife and children before he became famous, but Li Si felt that Han Fei should be so lonely, with such a talent, what woman in the world could be worthy of him? he.

Seeing that Li Si didn't answer, Lan Ji was even more unhappy, and she scolded even more angrily: "Do you know who I am? I'm the princess! Why don't you be polite when you see me?"

The more Lan Ji spoke, the more excited she became, but Li Si still stood there, ignoring her. After Lan Ji finished speaking, Li Si asked her with a blank face on purpose: "Madam, are you talking to me?"

"You!" Obviously feeling Li Si's contempt for him, Lan Ji pointed angrily and wanted to raise her hand to slap him a few times. At this moment, a strong hand pulled Lan Ji from behind, Slapping her hard, Lan Ji looked up angrily, but saw Han Fei standing in front of her with a livid face.

Lan Ji's arrogant arrogance disappeared immediately, she covered her face and stood there in a daze, but the maid at the side hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Han Fei gave Lan Ji a cold look, and asked her:

"Who do you think he is?"

Han Fei suddenly felt regretful. He regretted leaving this woman in the palace before, and now he let Li Si know of her existence. Even if he already knew, Li Si wouldn't care if he had other women...

Hearing Han Fei's question, Lan Ji covered her face with tears in her eyes and dared not answer, but Li Si said from the side: "Li Si is just a mere grassroots, why should the king be angry about me and the princess?"

Sensing the unusual meaning in these words, Han Fei looked at Li Si in surprise. Li Si was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he had just said, turned his face away in embarrassment, and his face turned slightly red.

Seeing Li Si's reaction like this, Han Fei suddenly felt enlightened, and he shouted to Lan Ji who was still on the side: "Hurry up!"

Lan Ji just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly took the maid and stumbled away. When she turned her head for the last time, she saw the king was looking at that person. She had never seen Han Fei's eyes with that kind of nostalgic gaze. .

There was a trace of resentment in her eyes, and she thought bitterly in her heart:

Li Si, I have written down this grudge.
