Chapter 48 Li Si loses, Feng Quji takes over
Everyone was not surprised that Wang Wan resigned from office, but Ying Zheng announced that the prime minister who took office was actually Feng Quji, which made everyone look at the few people at the center of the storm with vague eyes.

It's a pity that both Li Si, who lost, and Feng Quji, who unexpectedly rose to power, are veterans of officialdom for more than ten years. Even Li Si, faced with a cooked duck, only lost his composure for a moment and returned to normal in the next second. , making it difficult for people to see his emotions.

But at this moment, Li Si didn't need to look at other people to make conclusions about his emotions. It was impossible for Li Si not to be disappointed. Regardless of his qualifications or ability, Li Si couldn't figure out why His Majesty would treat him like this.

However, Great Qin is His Majesty's Great Qin, and officials have their own reasons for appointing and dismissing them. Li Si did not make a fuss like a young man who couldn't hold it back. When he recalled his behavior during this period, he did not show any domineering and rebellious behavior. Your Majesty should not be dissatisfied with him.

Rather than flying away as prime minister, he is now more concerned about why His Majesty warned and suppressed him.

Not being able to find a reason makes people easily confused.

Feng Quji didn't expect that he would be the prime minister, but he was not afraid of Li Si, let alone being the prime minister, who would want to be subordinate to others?
There was an eerie silence in Da Qin's officialdom, and the little shrimps below also understood that although the big bosses above were silent, they were all waiting for the other party to make mistakes, and none of them dared to make mistakes.

Ying Zheng ignored Li Si for a few days. When he checked the plan sent by the other party on improving the county system today, he realized that he had finally come to test it after being quiet for several days.

Ying Zheng never doubted Li Si's ability to work. The emperor and his ministers had their own thoughts, but they both focused on finishing the government affairs first. The reason why the emperor and his ministers could cooperate so well was because they got along well in this regard. Most of the ministers are still tired of work, but only Li Si is immersed in it and feels content.

"Do you have anything to ask me?" Ying Zheng said solemnly.

Li Si respectfully handed over his hand. He knew something about Ying Zheng's temperament and understood that he didn't like to be secretive. What's more, he could take the initiative to say this, which meant that he had taboos with His Majesty, but he was not disgusted, and he felt at peace in his heart. many.

"Your Majesty gave me the status from guest minister to present. Whether you are willing to give me the position of prime minister or not depends on your Majesty's willingness." Li Si's words were indeed flawless. "But if I am not wrong, the prefecture and county system will be implemented." You need me, and your Majesty should have been willing to promote me in the first place. It’s just that I am stupid and I don’t know where I made a mistake. I have been tossing and turning in the past few days. I am afraid that because of my stupidity and arrogance, I will live up to your majesty’s respect and promotion.”

Not mentioning the disappointment of losing the position of prime minister at all, only talking about the sincere fear that Ying Zheng was disappointed.

If You'an hears it, Fusuti will have to be kept here to learn the art of speaking.

Although His Majesty the First Emperor is tough and mighty, he still likes to hear nice words.

But no one has the habit of listening to unpleasant things.

Ying Zheng was just a small punishment to Li Si and had no intention of abandoning him. "It seems you really don't know."

If Li Sizhen contacted the inner court, he would not be unaware of what he was taboo about, let alone fight with him here, and would simply kneel down and admit his mistake.

Even though Li Si had expected it, it was only now that he truly understood that he was being implicated.

He hates the people who dragged him into the water even more. Naturally, he will not blame Ying Zheng who warned him, but the people who dragged him into trouble are not of such a good nature.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know. Can you please clarify my doubts? So that I won't have to sleep over this day and night."

Ying Zheng looked at him with deep eyes, "You hold the power of Tingwei, and you are also a representative of Legalism. In the eyes of many people, you are a target that needs to be won over." Li Si listened quietly, thinking in his heart, and did not feel that these Putting chips on him will make His Majesty jealous. Your Majesty will not be such an intolerable monarch.What's more, compared to him, families with deep roots in the Qin Dynasty such as Wang Jian are more worthy of fear. Li Si doesn't think he can compare with Old General Wang.

"Li Si, do you know what I dislike the most besides the traitors who assassinated Qin?"

Li Si's heart tightened and he stopped breathing for a moment. Then he slowly adjusted his breathing and tried to keep his voice as steady as possible. His head was racing, but the answer that came to his mouth made his heart heavy, "Brothers, let's get better together (yu) .”

At this moment, he just wanted to know which young master it was, or which minister framed him like this.

His Majesty hates the royal family's struggle for power and murder. Now that the young masters are young, their ambitions have become apparent. The most important thing is that they were involved without his knowledge.

Ying Zheng didn't look at him again. He just turned out the memorial and typed it. "Now that I know, I don't need to talk to you anymore. The court, the inner court, and the young master should not be connected together. You should understand." .”

Li Si was scolding people to death in his heart. This was really an unwarranted disaster. "I understand that I have never had any thoughts that I shouldn't have. In the past, my behavior was inappropriate and caused people to misunderstand. I will definitely fulfill my duties in the future."

Ying Zheng then asked people to leave and continued working. Every day he was either reading memorials or listening to reports from ministers. Li Si only took the time to make a few points.He still needs to use him, don't be confused. Sometimes in the court, even if you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, you are in a whirlpool and you can't help it. When it gets to the point where you can't get out, Li Si has to have it even if you don't have thoughts. thought.

Li Si exited the palace, looked at Zhao Qing beside him after going out, and noticed something was wrong. Where was Zhao Gao?
He thought of something bad in his mind, Zhao Qing smiled and said, "I won't see Master Tingwei off, please go slowly."

Naturally, Li Si would not put on unreasonable airs with someone like Zhao Qing who was waiting closely for him, but he would not lose his integrity in flattering him either. The two of them just looked at each other and communicated with each other, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. In the past, it seems that he was not Mr. Zhao." For doing this, I haven’t congratulated Gaosheng yet.”

Zhao Qing was naturally tight-lipped when serving Ying Zheng, and someone asked him to leak things that should be leaked. "Thank you, Lord Tingwei. It's just my luck. Lord Zhao Gao is valued by Your Majesty and is close to the Eighteenth Young Master. Your Majesty is a loving father." My heart is naturally close to all you gentlemen."

Good guy, he was openly praised and secretly criticized, and some words made him say this.

Li Si remained calm and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

He knew in his heart that he didn't change his face when he turned around, but he also hated Zhao Gao and being close to all the young masters?Is it his turn to be a close minister beside His Majesty?

In the past, I only knew that Zhao Gao was ambitious and wanted to climb up the ladder, but I didn't expect that he underestimated his ambition, made a bet so early, and secretly plotted against him.

Li Si didn't need to know how the two of them spoke kind words for him in front of Ying Zheng. He only needed to understand that if they failed to please Ying Zheng, they violated His Majesty's taboo and caused him to fly away from his position as prime minister.

This account is not small.

However, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief. When he went to the palace, he realized that His Majesty was just beating him, not abandoning him, so everything was not serious. What Li Si needed most to get to this day was patience.
