Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 302 Li Si draws up an imperial edict to bestow death on Su Mengtian
In an embarrassing atmosphere, Hu Hai ascended to the position of prince.

Although in the main hall, Li Si tried his best to recite the words "respect the emperor's will" repeatedly, but the attitude of the ministers was still very cold.

There is no voice of praise, no words of support, anyway, it is plain.

After Hu Hai put on the Crown Prince's tiara, Li Si said worriedly: "To support the Crown Prince today, all the ministers are mourning the state affairs. You can be considerate in both emotion and reason, but you can learn from heaven and earth if you are loyal to the heart of Great Qin!"

Saying that, he turned around and cupped his hands towards Hu Hai: "In the future, there will be long-term policies for governing the country, and we will play them as usual. I hope the prince will discuss and make a decision as soon as possible!"

"With Li Xiang here, and all the ministers here, the world will be stable, just around the corner!"

Hu Hai replied with a serious face, Li Si nodded and said nothing.

According to the procedure for supporting the crown prince, the crown prince should announce the national policy in the end, but after Li Si waited for Hu Hai to finish speaking, he announced his withdrawal from the court.

The ministers have no objection.

Just like that, the ceremony that was supposed to be grand and solemn ended like a joke.

As soon as Li Si returned to Xingyuan, Zhao Gao rushed to see him.

Originally, Li Si didn't intend to meet Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao said that Hu Hai invited him, so he could only let Zhao Gao in.

At this time, Li Si was sitting in the study, and Zhao Gao stepped forward and bowed: "Prime Minister Li, the prince has something important to discuss."

"Does the Zhao government order know how difficult it is to support the main hall today?" Li Si asked expressionlessly.

"Prime Minister Li has great talent and is capable of overcoming all difficulties. I admire Prime Minister Li."

"The command of the Zhao government is very resourceful, I don't know what the old man will do today, what do you think?"

"Prime Minister Li is worthy of being the pillar of the empire. He handles it properly, and the overall situation is the same!" Zhao Gao complimented.

Hearing this, Li Si smiled teasingly: "Is there no shortage?"

"If you want to talk about shortcomings, it's not that there are no lacks. It's just a matter of details, and there are still deficiencies." Zhao Gao said cautiously.

"Oh?" Li Si raised his eyebrows: "I would like to hear your opinion."

"It's not a high opinion, it's just that Prime Minister Li lacked confidence in facing the ministers today, especially because he didn't let the crown prince announce the national policy."

"Humph!"

Li Si snorted coldly, his face collapsed, and he said in a deep voice, "In all fairness, what national policy does Hu Hai have to declare? Isn't it humiliating for the old man to let him declare the national policy?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao said expressionlessly: "To this day, Prime Minister Li still regards the prince as mediocre, how can he devote himself to serving the country in the future? Although Zhao Gao is not talented, he can guarantee that the prince has already prepared National policy announcement!"

"Since it's ready, why didn't you tell the old man?" Li Si smiled lightly, as if he didn't take this matter seriously.

In fact, not only did he not pay attention to this matter, even Hu Hai, who was about to ascend the throne, did not pay attention to it.

Regarding this point, Zhao Gao knew it well, but he still said solemnly: "The normal procedure of supporting the grand ceremony, how do I know that Prime Minister Li will bypass this link?"

Seemingly dissatisfied with Zhao Gao's face-to-face questioning, Li Si frowned slightly, and said coldly: "The order of the Zhao family should know that the crown prince's prestige is still low. It's not the old man's idea to bypass this link, but I often take advice!"

As he spoke, he sighed, and said leisurely: "The Zhao Fuling didn't know about the situation at that time, and the old man was also very embarrassed."

"Prime Minister Li's difficulty, I naturally understand, it's just..."

"Okay, the matter is over, no need to make any more noise!"

Before Zhao Gao could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Si with a wave of his hand. He suddenly got up and left the study.

Looking at Li Si's leaving back, Zhao Gao's eyes froze for a moment, and then he followed up.

The palace where Hu Hai lives is in a mountain depression, with winding paths leading to secluded places, very cold.

When Li Si came to the palace in a carriage driven by Zhao Gao himself, Hu Hai had already stood at the gate of the palace and bowed to Li Si.

Seeing this, Li Si was overjoyed, as if he had returned to the scene when Ying Zheng treated him courteously when he first met Ying Zheng.

"I was born in commoner clothes, so I am honored by two generations of emperors, how lucky I am!"

Li Si sighed in his heart, and accepted Hu Hai's salute frankly as if he had met Ying Zheng for the first time.

At the same time, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai didn't realize it, one reached out to help Li Si get off the carriage, and the other stepped forward and bowed again.

"As the crown prince of the empire, how can I afford such a great gift?" Li Si smiled lightly, but did not stop Hu Hai from giving the gift.

Hu Hai replied in a gentle manner: "Prime Minister Li is the pillar of the empire, just like the Duke of Zhou assisting the country, how can he not treat each other with the courtesy of a sage?"

"Ha ha."

Li Si chuckled, stroked his beard and said: "The Zhao Fu Ling always said that the prince is extremely intelligent, seeing him now, it is true!"

"Hu Hai is young, and he is a little immature when it comes to national policy. I hope that Prime Minister Li will teach him more in the future."

"The prince respects the virtuous and respectful, so why worry about the world's unrest in the future?"

After saying this, Li Si and Hu Hai looked at each other and smiled.

Immediately afterwards, the two entered the main hall hand in hand.

Hu Hai placed Li Si in the left case, but he did not sit in the main case. Instead, he moved a small bench and sat on the side of Li Si's table, as if he was listening to the words of the sages.

Just by doing this, Li Si felt the pleasure of being an emperor, as if he regarded Hu Hai as a wise monarch connecting the past and the future.

After pondering for a while, he took a sip of his tea and said to Hu Hai, "I don't know what the prince asked the old man to discuss?"

"The only person Hu Hai can trust right now is the prime minister, but I don't know if he should ask the prime minister..."

"As long as the prince asks, the old man will know everything!"

Hearing this, Hu Hai's eyes turned red, and tears flickered faintly, but he said hesitantly: "Hu Hai suddenly became the prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, so I couldn't help being a little panicked, and I hope Prime Minister Li will teach me!"

"What the crown prince wants to ask is, how to secure the country?" Li Si asked calmly.

"Prime Minister Li should know about today's situation. The temple doesn't welcome me, and the world is alienating me. I really don't know what to do." Hu Hai replied with a sob.

"Mencius has something to say, the sky will send a great responsibility to the people, why should the prince be so worried?!"

Li Si clapped the case and said: "If the prince asks about the strategy of An Bang to stabilize the country, the old man strongly advises the prince, inherits the will of the late emperor, implements the rule of law, eradicates the evils of the six kingdoms, eliminates foreign aggression, and appeases the people."

"What Prime Minister Li means is that the world can be stable as long as you follow my father's way of governing the country?" Hu Hai tilted his head and asked.

"Following the former emperor's way of governing the country is a long-term strategy."

Li Si thought for a while, and said, "If it's a short-term strategy, we need to clean up the government."

Hearing this, Hu Hai thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said: "Prime Minister Li is right."

Li Si asked lightly: "Then, does the prince have the idea of ​​purging the government?"

"No."

Hu Hai shook his head honestly, and suddenly remembered something, and said anxiously to Li Si: "I hope Prime Minister Li will teach Hu Hai!"

"Prince, don't worry, let's listen to Zhao Fuling's advice first!"

Li Si said, turning his head to look at Zhao Gao who was silent at the side.

Zhao Gaoming knew that Li Si was belittling him, but he said unknowingly: "What I mean is that the crown prince has been supported, and the overall situation is to successfully ascend the throne. At present, the most urgent task is to eliminate the potential threat of the crown prince, otherwise, the world will be turned upside down. Fetch water from a bamboo basket."

"Oh?" Li Si was surprised, but said indifferently: "I would like to hear more about it."

"The Great Qin Dynasty Hall has five major forces in total. If these five major forces interfere with the crown prince's enthronement, the overall situation may change." Zhao Gao said solemnly.

"The five major forces?"

Li Si couldn't hide his astonishment, and looked at Zhao Gao in a daze.

But Zhao Gao said seriously: "The Great Qin Dynasty Hall is presided over by Prime Minister Li, naturally there is no problem, but the five major forces, there are bright and dark, we must know the root and the bottom."

"First, the eldest son supports Su Pengdang, Mengshi, and Feng's father and son."

"Secondly, Mr. Li An, Zhao Kun's party, the Wang family, and Wang's in-laws, the Lan family."

"Thirdly, Prime Minister Li's lineage includes Lao Chang Feng Hu Wujing, Zuo Tingwei Zhang Ji, Lao Lingqing Zheng Guo, Zhang Han, Yang Duanhe and other three princes and nine ministers."

"These three major forces are forces on the surface, known to both the government and the public."

At this point, Zhao Gao said with a serious face; "Although Mr. Li An threw himself into the river, the Wang family and the Meng family are the two major generals of the Qin State, and the risk of their alliance cannot be ruled out."

"The words of Zhao Fuling's words are so dangerous. Dare to ask where are the two dark forces?" Li Si asked in fear.

Zhao Gao talked eloquently: "The so-called dark places refer to places that are not usually seen. The real dark forces of the Great Qin Empire are one of the weak Iron Eagle Guards and the Black Ice Terrace under the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is a member of the royal family, and the Zongzheng Mansion!"

As he said that, he asked Li Si back: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Li, is there any omission in what I said?"

"This"

In astonishment, Li Si looked at Zhao Gao quietly for a long time, then fell silent.

Zhao Gao's analysis of the situation of the Qin Dynasty shocked him so much that his spine shivered.

For the first time, Li Si felt the fear of the tall servant in front of him.

It is unbelievable that a servant who has never spoken before in the country's decision-making has such a thorough insight into the situation of the court. Even he, the prime minister of the empire, has not seen it so clearly.

No!

I must not leave this person behind!
Once you gain a firm foothold, you must get rid of this person!

A thought flashed across Li Si's mind, and then gradually regained his composure.

Seeing that Li Si was silent, Hu Hai on the side seemed a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Dare to ask Prime Minister Li, how to eliminate these five major forces?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Si came back to his senses, carefully looked at the immature prince in front of him, and shook his head amusedly.

Hu Hai's questioning was obviously self-assessed, and he did not inform Zhao Gao in advance.

Before that, Li Si felt that Zhao Gao taught him what Hu Hai said.

However, even so, Li Si didn't care.

You, Zhao Gao, can be his teacher, but can't I, Li Si?
Li Si smiled disdainfully in his heart, and then said to Hu Hai: "The five major forces were proposed by Zhao Fuling. I think Zhao Fuling should have countermeasures. Why don't you listen to Zhao Fuling first?"

"This"

Hu Hai hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Zhao Gao: "Teacher, do you see?"

Zhao Gao ignored Hu Hai, and turned to Li Si and said respectfully, "Prime Minister Li's great arm is not worth mentioning when he is off duty."

"The Zhao Fuling is the prince's teacher, why bother to shirk the old man for everything?" Li Si smiled slightly.

Zhao Gao said frankly; "Although I am the prince's teacher, what I teach is only the 'art of punishment and name', which is far less profound than Prime Minister Li for the court!"

"Okay, it's all my own, and I won't be polite to you anymore."

Li Si waved his hands, thought for a moment, and said solemnly; "If the prince wants to ascend the throne smoothly, the first strategy is to stabilize northern Xinjiang!"

"Prime Minister Li's policy is the policy of township, I admire you!"

As he spoke, Zhao Gao threw himself on the ground.

Hu Hai also knelt down in front of Li Si.

Suddenly, Li Si's dignity reached its peak, and a sense of joy that he had never experienced before emerged spontaneously. He stroked his beard with a smile, and sighed: "I have received the kindness of the late emperor. , but dare not not maintain the Xiandi Dao."

After finishing speaking, he stood up abruptly and said to Zhao Gao, "Order of Zhao Fu, prepare pen and ink, and seal the seal."

"promise."

Zhao Gao promised, and immediately went to prepare.

Hu Hai slowly got up, and stepped aside respectfully.

Soon, Zhao Gao returned to the hall with the prepared things.

Li Si glanced at Hu Hai, then at Zhao Gao, and said in a low voice, "After the old man writes the imperial edict, we will have no way of turning back. Do you two have a plan?"

"Prime Minister Li did his best for Hu Hai, Hu Hai will keep it in his heart, and he will live up to his high hopes!" Hu Hai said seriously.

"Prime Minister Li is the only one to follow!" Zhao Gao bowed and agreed.

Li Si took a deep breath, and wrote with difficulty on the parchment scroll: I visited the homeland of the six kingdoms in the east, intending to shock the world, but it is absurd to be repeatedly assassinated by the remnants of the six kingdoms!

The eldest son Fusu, the general Meng Tian, ​​has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he doesn't want to go south to serve the king. Because he can't get the crown prince, Fusu resents his father day and night.

General Meng Tian and Fusu jointly manage the Jiuyuan military, sit back and watch his disloyalty and filial piety, and are also suspected of disloyalty, so he is given the death penalty!
In addition, the Jiuyuan military affairs were temporarily handed over to Li Xin, Marquis of Longxi, in August of the 37th year of the First Emperor. "

When the last word was written, Li Si was exhausted. He looked up at Zhao Gao and Hu Hai faintly, and sighed: "It's not my wish to do this!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gao took a step forward and said respectfully: "Everything Prime Minister Li has done is for the sake of the empire. I believe that the first emperor, son Chang, and General Meng will understand Prime Minister Li!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Li Gao Yi, I believe they will understand you!" Hu Hai echoed.

Li Si waved his hand: "Forget it, the matter is a foregone conclusion, so it's useless to talk more."

"Then should I put the jade seal on it?" Zhao Gao asked tentatively.

Li Si's face darkened; "The old man has finished writing the imperial edict, if we don't cover the jade seal at this time, when will we wait?"

"Yes yes yes! Immediately affix your seal!"

Zhao Gao was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Hu Hai at the side watched nervously as Zhao Gao took Yuxi out of the copper box.

This was the first time he saw Yuxi, and he couldn't help being a little excited.

"Teacher, if we put the jade seal on it, big brother and they will listen to us?" Hu Hai asked softly.

Li Si gave him a strange look, then shook his head secretly.

At this time, Zhao Gao had already sealed the seal, and put the imperial edict in front of Li Si's table: "Prime Minister Li, the jade seal has been sealed."

"Now that it's finished, order someone to bring the edict and go to Jiuyuan County to proclaim the edict."

"Follow Prime Minister Li's order!"
