Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1405 The Mystery of the Fire
  The chaos tonight is essentially because the Mo family wants to steal the Thousand Machine Copper Plate to decipher the Black Dragon Scroll.

The black dragon scroll represents a piece of news - the news that Ying Zheng will come to Songhai on the day the mirage sets sail.

What Wei Zhuang said was that the Yin Yang family and Luo Wang intended to let the Mo family get the news.

Although the news of Ying Zheng's eastward tour has spread in the world, sects like the Mohist family have long known that the First Emperor will definitely come to Qilu.

However, there is no point in knowing such news. It is only useful if we can determine Ying Zheng's specific itinerary.

As for how to use it, that's another story.

All in all, it's going to be fun.

Of course, the information in the Black Dragon Scroll is still not accurate, but at least the two key points of time and place are determined, and there is enough information about time.

When the mirage sets sail, the movement will not be small, and it is relatively easy to control.

Zhang Liang pursed his lips in a meaningful arc and joked with a smile, "It seems that there is a big problem with His Majesty the Emperor's dream and with His Majesty the Emperor's sword."

Gu Xun continued calmly, "There have always been problems, and Ying Zheng may not be completely unaware of it."

"But the emperor, that's it. He can only pursue balance."

The most important task of any emperor, or politician, is to strike a balance.

Ying Zheng is no exception, but he is strong and has strong skills.

Just like a scale, a weak person can only carefully adjust the weights at both ends to maintain balance, but a strong person can directly hold the arms of the scale and forcibly interfere with the balance.

Among all the emperors in China for two thousand years, Ying Zheng is definitely one of the strongest in political skills.

But manpower is sometimes limited, and Yingzheng's power is not endless.

The stronger the wrist is, the more severe the backlash will be when it can no longer support it.

Zhang Liang smiled and did not continue talking about this matter, but turned to another matter:

"Before, that Li Xiangguo came to have a cup of tea with me alone."

"Talked to me about Brother Han."

"Talk to you about Han Fei?" Wei Zhuang took over with a sneer, "That Mr. Xiangguo can't afford to be so shy."

Han Fei almost died in the Qin prison, and the most direct driving force was his junior brother.

If we really want to count the responsibilities, Ying Zheng and the Yin Yang family may still be above Li Si, but it is indeed Li Si who plays the trumpet, just like the first snowflake in an avalanche.

The most important thing is his identity - Han Fei's younger brother. On this point, Li Si cannot erase the stain no matter what.

Zhang Liang chuckled lightly, but did not join in the 'praise' of that Li Xiangguo.

Regarding Li Si, Quicksand has already concluded that he will be completely destroyed by himself sooner or later!
  This was Han Fei's personal assertion to him.

There is nothing more satisfying than watching him build a tall building and watching it collapse, so naturally there is no need to take action personally.

How unseemly!
  And it should not be said that Li Si's ability in Legalist theory is indeed beyond doubt. Han Fei and Gu Xun were both happy to see him working so hard in the court for the time being.

Without Li Si assisting Ying Zheng in steadily adjusting the various systems of the empire, I am afraid that the world situation at this time would be even worse.

From this point of view, Li Si is a very useful person to Liusha and should not be eliminated early.

For these reasons, Liusha did not carry out any act of revenge against Li Si.

However, Liusha was too lazy to have anything to do with the Prime Minister.

Li Si knew it well, but he still approached Zhang Liang, who was Han Fei's good friend. Wei Zhuang said that he was "shy", which was not an exaggeration.

"Judging from Li Xiangguo's vague words, it seems that he intends to inquire about Canglong Qisu." Zhang Liang continued the topic.

"Ha!" Gu Xun laughed directly. Li Si really turned off the signal and looked at the map, unable to find his location!
  You still want to intervene in Canglong Qisu now because you think you died too late and you want to speed up?

Zhang Liang noticed Gu Xun's sarcasm, raised his eyebrows, and then added, "I think Li Si is not necessarily targeting Canglong Qisu, but just wants to use it to achieve certain goals."

Then Zhang Liang talked about a past event many years ago.

"That year, not long before Brother Han and Li Si left Little Saint's Manor, there was an unexpected fire that destroyed almost half of the library."

"Brother Gu and Brother Wei Zhuang should both know about this matter."

Gu Xun tapped his fingers gently on the table and continued with a smile on his face:
  "Shortly afterwards, the two of them left Little Saint Xianzhuang. One returned to Korea and became the ninth prince, while the other joined the Qin Dynasty. Then he was quickly appreciated by Lu Buwei, the Marquis of Wenxin, and took over the mission to Korea."

"After that, he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and submitted himself to Ying Zheng to this day..."

Wei Zhuang's cold voice then sounded, "It seems that all this is not an accident."

Han Fei is the son of Wang An of Han. Regardless of whether he is favored or not, he will naturally have the capital to join the court after returning to China.

But Li Si was just a poor scholar, and theoretically had no access to Lu Buwei.

Although he studied under Xunzi, a world-famous Confucian scholar, he was far inferior to Han Fei in terms of fame, and Confucian disciples were not sought after by big shots in the court - there were too many things to talk about on paper.

Even if he studied under Xun Kuang, Li Si was still far behind.

So why did he get on Lu Buwei's line?
  Similarly, Lu Buwei's operation is also a bit strange.

You have to say that he valued Li Si's talent, but he turned around and threw him into the pit in South Korea.

You have to say that he doesn't value it... Then why did he accept Li Si as his disciple?

This is not like the incident in South Korea happened first, and then Li Si came to pick up the thunder, but it was the person who caught it first and took the thunder later.

It was like Lu Buwei didn't want to see Li Si, but he had to accept him as his disciple.

In short, highlight a contradiction.

And this highlighted the library fire that was particularly conspicuous.

There is something fishy hidden in this. In fact, Liusha has long suspected it, but Zhang Liang's remarks today obviously further confirmed this.

Gu Xun stopped wagging his fingers and said with great interest, "It seems that Li Xiangguo may have some unique insights on Canglong Qisu!"

"You two...do you have an explanation?"

Zhang Liang showed modesty, took half a step back and expressed his stance:

"I am just an idle teacher in the small Shengxian Village. I should leave it to the two big shots, Brother Gu and Brother Wei and Zhuang, to bring trouble to the powerful Prime Minister."

Gu Xun pouted, noncommittal, and turned his eyes to Wei Zhuang, who had his back turned to him.

Wei Zhuang did not give in like Zhang Liang, and responded coldly:
  "I will go and visit him in person, and there happens to be a business that has not yet been settled."

Gu Xun said at this time, "You can take Lin'er with you, maybe you can save some trouble."

Wei Zhuang frowned when he heard this and asked Gu Xundao, "Last time, did you handle the matter of the government agency's unauthorized attack in the city?"

"Ah..." Gu Xun smacked his mouth and touched his chin and replied awkwardly, "That... don't worry about it."

"It's brain never works well, so don't argue with fools."

"Humph!"

Gu Xun responded with a cold snort, but Gu Xun didn't pay attention.

Given Wei Zhuang's temperament, such a response would be considered a sign of willingness to change the story.
