Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

After Fu Boqiu sneaked back to Xianyang secretly, he immediately contacted Fan Wuqi, who was the lieutenant, and mobilized [-] elite soldiers to march to Xianyang Palace.

It was originally the lieutenant's duty to be in charge of the troops and horses in Xianyang, and to maintain the law and order of Xianyang. Fan Wuqi's secret transfer of troops did not attract the attention of Lu Buwei or Ying Zheng. Furthermore, it is well known that Cheng Yu snatched Mrs. Fan Wuqi As we all know, they would never have imagined that Fan Wuqi had already been bribed by Cheng Yu and Fu Boqiu.

He and Fan Wuqi rushed to Xianyang Palace with [-] elite soldiers. As expected by Fu Boqiu, the defense inside and outside Xianyang Palace was not strict. With the warrant written by the Empress Dowager Huayang, the [-] elite soldiers broke through easily. After passing through the gate of Xianyang Palace and entering the inner palace, he only needs to find the King of Qin, and he will be done.

But the deeper he went into Xianyang Palace, the more Fu Boqiu felt that something was wrong. This Xianyang Palace is not well-prepared, it is simply unprepared!Except for the few guards who had been hacked outside the palace before, after entering the Forbidden Palace, not to mention the guards, not even the attendants were seen.

Is this still the legendary Forbidden Palace?What about the five steps, one whistle and ten steps, one post?

If something goes abnormal, it must be a demon. After realizing this, Fu Boqiu, who was already cautious, became more careful.

In this way, Fu Boqiu, who had been on guard all the way, finally came to the Hall of Deliberations in Xianyang Palace. Fu Boqiu guessed that if it was an ordinary king, even if he did not run away when he encountered such a forced palace situation, he would hide early , but he believed that Ying Zheng would not, his pride would not allow him to do so.

That's why he rejected Fan Wuqi's proposal to disperse his troops to search for Yingzheng everywhere, and went straight to the Palace of Political Affairs.

Facts have proved that Fu Boqiu's guess is indeed correct. Just outside the Palace of Political Affairs, Fu Boqiu saw a person, a person guarding the gate with a sword.

After rushing for so long, he finally saw a living person. Fan Wuqi hurriedly ordered his soldiers to surround the person. The sharp blade pointed at the person outside the palace gate, but the person was not panicked at all. Those who live by themselves are just like a group of wooden people.

Encountering this situation, Fan Wuqi suddenly became very confused and didn't know what to do. He timidly looked at Fu Boqiu standing behind him, but Fu Boqiu seemed to have known that this person would Appearing here, he strode up to that person, cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Li Si, it's a good plan."

"Empty city plan?" Li Si blinked suspiciously, and Fu Boqiu realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, so he smiled indifferently, without explaining, but continued to ask: "How did senior know? "

"You are the teacher's proud student. If you didn't have some schemes, how could you be willing to just be the guest of the scorpion? If it were me, I would not be willing."

After being told by Li Si, Fu Boqiu was not angry at all, he laughed proudly like a victor: "So what if you know, Ying Zheng is in the palace! For the sake of the same sect, I won't embarrass you anymore."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to coerce the king. Let me think about it. General Wang Jian should have been outside Xianyang Palace by now."

At this time, Fu Boqiu suddenly realized that he had made a fatal mistake—the more critical the moment, the more nonsense he would talk!No, it was because of his nonsense that Li Si successfully delayed the time!

"General Fan, don't send people into the palace yet!"

Fu Boqiu hurriedly shouted at Fan Wuqi, if he acted now, he might still be in time, but who knows, before Fan Wuqi could make a move, Li Si walked in front of Fan Wuqi, looked at him and said coldly: "General Fan, you have to think clearly, the crime of treason is an unforgivable crime."

"I……"

Fan Wuqi looked at Li Si hesitantly, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in his eyes.

Seeing that Fan Wuqi seemed to have wavered, Fu Boqiu hurriedly said, "Why are you still hesitating? Regret it now, do you think Ying Zheng will spare you?"

After being reminded by Fu Boqiu, Fan Wuqi suddenly came to his senses, but what they didn't expect was that Li Si said leisurely again: "Fan Wuqi, don't you think about it, what did you use to get your power now? Beloved wife Being imprisoned in the mansion, the hatred for seizing your wife is utterly overwhelming, and you don't want to escape for your wife, but instead work for the enemy. Since you haven't made a big mistake, if you defect now, maybe your two children will be spared. "

So far, Fu Boqiu has given up on persuading Fan Wuqi, he is fixedly looking at the person in front of him, and he has done everything possible. He never thought that he would fall on this person, and Fu Boqiu couldn't help but start to admire him This person in front of me.

"Li Si, you are really powerful. General Fan is vacillating right and left when he just opened his mouth. No wonder Han Fei cherishes you so much. Originally, I wanted to let you go back to Korea after the matter is over. Now it seems..."

With a sound of "Zheng", Fu Boqiu drew out the long sword from his waist.

"It's better to kill you directly!"

Accompanied by Fu Boqiu's loud shout, the long sword slashed at Li Si, Li Si hurriedly dodged aside, and pulled out the long sword he was carrying with him, blocking Fu Boqiu's sword strike. Unfortunately, before Fan Wuqi, who was bluffed by Li Si, suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled by Li Si. He shouted angrily, and stabbed Li Si with his sword.

Li Si's swordsmanship was only superficial at first, and there was no chance of winning a one-on-two, but just when he thought he was really going to die here, there was a commotion in Xianyang Palace. It turned out that Wang Jian had led his troops forward Rescue came, and Li Si breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Fan, retreat quickly!"

Fu Boqiu shouted hastily, but Fan Wuqi was unwilling to evacuate.

"Let me kill him first!"

"At this point, killing him won't help, let's get out!"

While the two were talking, Wang Jian had already led his troops to kill him. Fan Wuqi regretted his previous hesitation, but at this time, it was too late to regret. With a heavy sigh, Fan Wuqi could only take back the heavy sword in his hand, and took Together with Fu Boqiu, the remnants rushed out of the palace again.

After the crisis in Xianyang Palace was resolved, Ying Zheng was standing with his back to Li Si in the inner room of the Yizheng Palace. He was holding the warrant of the Empress Dowager Huayang in his hand. The few short lines on the warrant had already explained a The fact that he didn't want to admit - the clan had already decided to betray him and support Chengyu.

"Why did Cheng Yu do this, why did the clan do this..."

Ying Zheng murmured to himself that he had always regarded Cheng Yu as his most trusted confidant, and he never thought that one day, the clan would betray him.

"How does the king plan to judge?"

Although the ministers who were urgently summoned had expressed their opinions when they were in the Palace of Political Affairs, the ministers headed by Lu Buwei strongly advocated making a decision with the clan, but Yingzheng did not make a final decision.

At that time, as the biggest contributor to delaying Fan Wuqi and Fu Boqiu, Li Si kept silent, and Ying Zheng didn't take the initiative to ask Li Si's opinion, but left Li Si alone after all the ministers dispersed.

Before he could open his mouth, Li Si asked about his plan first. Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si in surprise, then looked away, looked at the pattern on the book case and said coldly: "Send Wang Jian to lead his troops to monitor Cheng. If there is any change in your actions, you can repay, and as for the Empress Dowager Huayang, she will be sentenced to death for the crime of conspiracy as Lu Xiang said before."

Li Si bowed and remonstrated:

"My Majesty's move will probably only chill the clan."

Ying Zheng frowned, looking at Li Si with a little displeasure, he asked a little excitedly, "Should I just let them go?"

Li Si did not avoid Ying Zheng's gaze, he raised his eyes slightly to look at Ying Zheng, the two eyes met, and after a long time, Ying Zheng heard Li Si ask: "Your Majesty, what is the crime of the clan?"

"Do you need to ask? The crime of conspiracy!!"

Li Si shook his head: "I don't think so, I only know that Cheng Yu is the only one who conspired against him."

Before, Li Si's gaze had already calmed Ying Zheng a little, and his words made Ying Zheng wake up like a dream.

It has only been three years since he came to the throne, and he still can't tear himself apart with the clan, at least not now. If he wants to secure the position of King Qin in Qin, the support of the clan is essential.

It's okay... In this case, how can he be reconciled to being subject to the clan everywhere?

The feeling of being betrayed and the humiliation of being unable to retaliate made Ying Zheng suddenly recall something. He walked slowly towards the inner room a few steps, his hands clenched into fists in his wide sleeves, but his voice But it is so gentle, as if recalling some beautiful past: "When I was in Zhao State, my mother and I didn't have enough food and clothing, and our lives were worse than beggars, but at that time, my mother could sing Coaxing me to sleep, she would stay up to take care of me when I was sick. Whenever I was too hungry, she always told me that if one day I became the king of Qin, I would become the happiest person in the world, and I could do whatever I wanted. I can do anything..."

Li Si was a little surprised. At this time, why did Ying Zheng suddenly talk to himself about his past in Zhao Guo? He only realized when he heard the last thing. In this world, there is no such thing as doing whatever one wants, let alone Ying Zheng It is the King of Qin, who is more constrained than when he was in Zhao State.

Perhaps, this is where Ying Zheng's knot lies.

"But when I really became King Qin, I realized that I lost more than before, my mother became more and more strange, and I even had nothing, not even the right to choose! I What kind of king is he!"

Ying Zheng said the last sentence in a voice almost roaring, but Li Si could hear Ying Zheng's pain.

Yingzheng, he yearns for love more than anyone else. He is the King of Qin, everyone fears him, and wants to gain power and wealth from him, but it is precisely because he is the King of Qin that no one can love him, and no one loves him. People dare to love him.
