Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 340 Li Si commits suicide (please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
Moreover, although Li Si has been in Qin for more than [-] years, he has never forgotten his hometown of Xiacai.

And Li You didn't forget it either.

The friendships of childhood are more precious and more trustworthy than friendships made at any time.

So Li Youting recruited his childhood friend to be his staff.

Li Si could imagine that it was Li You who leaked this matter.

Just when Li You returned home last time, Li Si told Li You that he had been an official in the Qin Dynasty for more than [-] years, and now he was only one step away from that position.

Thinking about it now, I really regret it.

However, Li Si couldn't help but know that there were two other people who also knew about the heir.

Dongyang Jun Fusu——

Therefore, Li Si had another terrible thought in his mind.

Wang Wan and Fu Su united to kill Li Si.

However, he has no proof.

Who would believe that the prince would frame himself with the crime of rebellion.

Nowadays, there are rumors everywhere that for the sake of his position, Li Si instigated his son to reveal the secret deal between Dongyang Jun and Wang Wan to Ying Zheng in order to bring down Wang Wan and Dongyang Jun...

Li Si's face was burning.

The next day, today, he was summoned to the palace by Ying Zheng early in the morning.

Li Si made up his mind.

In order to let him die, that person did not hesitate to gamble his own future and destiny. If he is not dead, things will only get worse.

Now, someone needs to die to solve the problem.

"The matter has become a big deal now. It is extremely detrimental to the reputation of Lord Dongyang, and it is also a slander to the king. And these disasters all come from the mouth of the old minister. I can't argue with it. The old minister is willing to resign and go back, thinking that Lord Dongyang Clear your name with the king."

On one side is His Majesty's eldest son and mentor, while on the other side are Li Si and Li You.

Which one will Ying Zheng choose to protect? The answer is naturally self-evident.

Ying Zheng frowned.

"I thought you would explain it to me."

Li Si swallowed and felt a lump in his throat. There were some words he didn't dare to say.

There is no evidence, and if he really directly accuses the prince of planning this matter, then the Li family will be completely ruined.

"I would rather believe that this matter was only instigated by a few villains."

"This matter is serious. Now it has become known to everyone. The reputation of the monarch is in jeopardy. And the root cause of this matter is Quanzi."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes slightly.

Not long ago, he married his eldest daughter to Li You.

This honor is not shared by other ministers in the DPRK.

"Li Si, you never let me down. But I didn't expect that this time it would be your son who disappointed me. Now that things have happened, I will never tolerate it. I will punish Li You severely."

Li You, that's Li Si's darling.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy."

"The fault lies with Li You, how can I be merciful? Li Si, you were once my court captain. You know best that I will never follow the law."

Li Si Surong came here today, Li Si was determined to die.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have known about this rumor a long time ago, and at that time I thought of dying in the name of protecting the crown prince. All I hope for is to die myself in exchange for my son Li Youzhi's life. I hope your Majesty the Emperor For the sake of my 20 years of service to His Majesty, I will bypass You'er."

Ying Zheng became even more furious after hearing this.

"If we get to the bottom of it, no one in your Li family will be spared. I think that you have made great contributions to the empire, and you are the person who understands my thoughts best in this court, so I deliberately give you a wide berth."

Ying Zheng surrendered and issued an ultimatum to Li Si.

"To execute Li You and save the rest of your Li family is the grace I gave you Li Si. Looking at the government and the public, there is no other person who has been treated so kindly by me."

At this time, Li Si was already desperate.

Naturally, Li Si wouldn't listen to Ying Zheng's request to stay.

Li Siru had a lump in his throat and said tremblingly:
"And the price for doing this is to let the old minister's son die."

Ying Zheng stood in front of Li Si with no expression on his face.

Ying Zheng looked at him.

"Fusu is the heir apparent whom I established. He has not actually rebelled, but because of your son's humiliation, how will he succeed to the throne in the future?"

"Fusu is an important weapon of the empire. Such a sharp sword will only hurt me in my hands. It is the best choice for him to let him stay in Jingchu. But now, Li You let my Deployment fell short."

After hearing this, Li Si felt guilty.

Lord Dongyang, that is the future of Qin.

This is the result after the government and the public asked for divination last time.

"I originally planned to abandon Wang Wan, but if I do this, Fusu will never be able to clean himself up in the future..."

Li Si's eyes lit up when he heard these words.

He originally suspected that he could never compare to Wang Wan's status in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty was willing to give up Wang Wan for him.

Li Si was naturally in tears...

"Your Majesty, after hearing your Majesty's words, I will have no regrets in joining Qin in this life."

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know that you are reluctant to let go of your eldest son. But I am also in a difficult position. But ultimately, this matter is all caused by your son. Giving up one Li You now is enough to save everyone."

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, who was hanging his head and heartbroken, and said again.

"Okay, Li Si, you go back first. I will issue an edict tomorrow to thoroughly sort out this matter."

"The old minister retire."

Ying Zheng never expected that because of this rumor, he would lose his best political ally.

He also didn't expect that those words that day would be the last words he and Li Si spoke.

That was also the last time Ying Zheng and Li Si met.

Shortly after Li Si left, Zhao Gao hurriedly came to report.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

At that time, Ying Zheng was still worried about the lacquer case.

Although Li You is dead, he can silence everyone.

However, he will not be able to reuse Li Si in the short term, but Ying Zheng originally planned to take Li Si with him during this eastward tour.

Li Si knew everything, and Ying Zheng couldn't do without him.

They agreed that during the eastward tour, they would first go to Kuaiji, and then go to Mount Tai for the Zen ceremony.

And Zhao Gao suddenly broke in rashly.

Ying Zheng looked horrified when he saw Zhao Gao.

This is a strange thing, there are not many people around him who are timid.

No one ever panicked in his presence.

And Zhao Gao was the one who had killed the soldiers of Lao Ai.

"What's so alarming about?"

"His Majesty--"

Zhao Gao let out a scream, his eyes filled with fear.

"Li Si jumped in front of the steps of Zhangtai Palace."

After Ying Zheng heard this, the brush suddenly fell from his hand.

Ying Zheng stood up immediately, and his heart was stabbed hard by something.

Then other guards came in with weapons.

"His Majesty--"

When Ying Zheng saw this posture, he was sure that what Zhao Gao said was true.

Ying Zheng immediately collapsed on his throne, his chest and back feeling cold.

After some time, Lang Wei outside handed over Li Si's suicide note.

This is already a silk book stained with blood.

"Your Majesty, I have served Your Majesty conscientiously for more than 20 years. I dare not mention my merits, but everyone can see my hard work. I originally wanted to assist Your Majesty in stabilizing the country. However, the eldest son, because of his unkindness, actually caused a big disaster, which affected the reputation of Lord Dongyang and the Prime Minister. , Now I want to silence everyone in the world with my death."

"I hope your Majesty will let Yu, my eldest son, go. Your Majesty is also a father, and the Lord Dongyang treats you as Yu does to Li Si. I only hope that your Majesty will understand clearly. In addition, I made a mistake regarding the conferment of Zen on Mount Tai."

"Your Majesty Saint Ann."

winter--

The building and boat were ready, and Fusu and Wang Ben were walking on the boat together.

The news of Li Si's suicide was told to him by Wang Ben.

"Mr. Dongyang, you know that not long ago, the Imperial Academy ordered Li Si to commit suicide."

Xia Hei looked incredulous after hearing this.

Afterwards, Xia Hei looked at Fusu with admiration.
