Ni Chu

After wandering outside the city with Shi Lei and others for a long time, Xiang Ye and Meng Su finally stroked their foreheads with defeated expressions.

Dare to feel that this black wild cat Shi Lei doesn't know where there is wine sold, he took Xiang Ye and Meng Su to several villages, but he didn't even find a place that sells wine.

"Do you know where there is wine?" After going around a few times, Xiang Ye said to Shi Lei who was walking in front with black lines all over his head: "It stands to reason that you are robbing around here, so you should be very concerned about the surrounding environment." Familiarity is the key, why do I feel like you don’t know the way at all.”

Shi Lei turned his head, glared at Xiang Ye and said, "How could I not know where there is wine for sale? These wine sellers all escaped to avoid disaster. I didn't know that they were so afraid of things that they even sold wine. I dare not sell any more."

Xiang Ye pursed his lips, didn't speak any more, and followed Shi Lei for half an hour, Shi Lei finally stopped, sighed helplessly, and said to Xiang Ye and Mengsu: "That's all, that's all, I've found you." I haven't found a place that sells alcohol for a long time, so it seems that I have to invite you."

"Fuck, I have wine and still lead us so far!" Xiang Ye pouted contemptuously at Shi Lei's back, and secretly raised his middle finger at him.

When Xiang Ye took Mengsu to look for Jiangdong Xiang's family, a major event happened in Xianyang City.

After Zhao Tong ordered people to report to Zhao Gao that Li You had an affair with the Xiang family, Zhao Gao did not immediately take action against Li Si. After all, Li Si was the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and had assisted the First Emperor in unifying the world and establishing the Great Qin Dynasty. He wanted to move him. It is not a very simple matter.

Although Zhao Gao controlled Qin Er Shi and almost controlled the entire government, Li Si still had a power in his hands. This power may not be enough to compete with him, but if he really broke his face, he would definitely make him Greatly hurt.

On this day, Qin Er Shi led a group of attendants and maids to play in the harem again. Zhao Gao didn't wait on the sidelines like in the past. He took advantage of the gap and left the Qin Palace with a group of guards and rushed straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion .

"Is Prime Minister Li at home?" Zhao Gao asked the guard guarding the gate when he reached the gate of Li Si's house.

Seeing that it was Zhao Gao, several guards guarding the gate hurriedly half-kneeled on the ground to salute him, and the leading guard replied: "Master Zhao, the Prime Minister is in the mansion."

"General, please report for me, and say that Zhao Gao is asking to see you." Zhao Gao politely said to the guard who answered, "I have something urgent to discuss with the prime minister!"

The guard responded, stood up and ran into the mansion.

Li Si was flipping through a pile of letters in the study, when he heard that Zhao Gao asked to see him, he couldn't help frowning.After pondering for a moment, Li Si closed the letter in his hand and said to the guard, "Master Zhao, please meet me in the hall."

After the guard left, Li Si stood up, walked back and forth in the study room with his head down, patted his forehead for the last time, walked out of the study room boldly, and walked towards the main hall.

When Li Si arrived at the main hall, Zhao Gao was already waiting there. Although Li Si knew that Zhao Gao had always wanted to put him to death, he still had to put on a very intimate look on the surface.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhao is here, Li Si is disappointed and welcomes you, and I hope you will forgive me!" Seeing Zhao Gao, Li Si had a smile on his face, and bowed forward, as if he saw a relative he had never seen in a few lifetimes. , stepped forward and took Zhao Gao's hand very affectionately and said: "Your Excellency's coming this time has made the thatched cottage luxuriant, and I invite you to take a seat."

Li Si's over-enthusiasm actually made Zhao Gao feel a little uncomfortable. Li Si held his hands, and he wanted to return the gift but couldn't, so he said, "The prime minister is really disgruntled. In the court, the prime minister is alone. With more than ten thousand people, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty must obey the orders of the prime minister, so if they are so courteous to the subordinates, wouldn’t it be disgraceful to the subordinates?”

"Hehe." Li Si smiled, patted Zhao Gao on the back lightly and said, "Master Zhao must have something important to come to find the truth in a hurry. Please sit down, sir. If there is any need for the truth, please do it for me." inform."

After Zhao Gao sat down, the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion served tea to the two of them. Li Si waved to the servants in the main hall and said, "You all step back."

After all the servants retreated, Zhao Gao looked inside the hall and saw that there was no third person. He got up and took two quick steps towards Li Si, knelt down on the ground with a "puff", and two lines of tears flowed down instantly. , Shouted to Li Si: "Prime Minister, please save Da Qin, save Your Majesty, and save the officer!"

Seeing Zhao Gao knelt down, Li Si was startled, and quickly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Master Zhao just give orders if you have something to do, why is that?"

Zhao Gao wiped away his tears. When he raised his head, his face was black and white like a cat. It looked a little bit like a clown in a Beijing opera. It's been nearly 2000 years, so such a funny face is nothing funny to him.

Zhao Gao said to Li Si with snot and tears: "To tell you the truth, the lower official received a report a few days ago, saying that the prime minister was in collusion with the Jiangdong Xiang family. How could the lower official believe such nonsense? Excuse me. In fact, His Majesty has been immersed in sensuality all day long, raising deer and dogs that are useless, and every time the subordinate officials persuade him, he will be scolded. Today, His Majesty is in the harem again. I really can't see it anymore, so I came to discuss with the prime minister, hoping that the prime minister will put the country's society as the most important thing, and persuade your majesty to come to the government in person!"

Li Si frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Zhao Gao and asked, "Since Mr. Zhao is well aware of the harm of His Majesty's ignorance of the government, why didn't you admonish him with death?"

Hearing Li Si's question, Zhao Gao leaned down and said bitterly, "Your Majesty also tried to persuade His Majesty, but after all, your Majesty was soft-spoken. Although he tried hard to persuade you, His Majesty didn't care at all. That's why you came here. I beg the Prime Minister to go forward and give advice, and hope that His Majesty can reform himself and revive the Great Qin Xiongwei!"

Li Si looked at Zhao Gao suspiciously, but he really couldn't see any clues. He hesitated for a while, finally nodded and said: "Okay, I'll just listen to Mr. Zhao for the truth, and I'll go to meet His Majesty tomorrow morning, please Chen." Your Majesty has come to the court in person!"

Seeing Li Si's promise, Zhao Gao was very happy, he quickly knelt up, bowed his hands to Li Si and said: "Prime Minister Gao Yi, the world is very fortunate! Great Qin is very fortunate! I will go back to prepare, and arrange for the prime minister to meet your majesty tomorrow morning. "

Li Si nodded, returned the gift, got up and sent Zhao Gao to the door.

After Zhao Gao left, Li Si went back to the house and said to an attendant, "Go and invite Mr. Wu, and tell him that I'm waiting for him in the main hall, and we have important matters to discuss."

After the attendants left, Li Si went straight back to the main hall, turned around, and waited for Mr. Wu to arrive.

After a while, a young man in snow-white long clothes hurried to the main hall led by his attendants. After entering the main hall, the young man bowed to Li Si and said, "Wu You pays homage to the Prime Minister!"

"I don't know, sir, you don't have to be polite!" After the young man came in, Li Si stood up and gestured to him, "Sir, please sit down!"

After Wu You sat down, Li Si waved to the attendant who led him, and the attendant bowed and walked out backwards.

After only Li Si and Wu You were left in the main hall, Li Si said: "Mr. I don't know, Zhao Gao came to look for me today and asked me to go and persuade His Majesty to come to the court. His sincere words forced the truth to nod in agreement. Now please The gentleman came here to ask the meaning of the gentleman."

When he heard that Zhao Gao had come to ask Li Si to persuade Qin II, Wu You frowned, he pondered for a moment, then immediately raised his head and said to Li Si: "Prime Minister, this must be Zhao Gao's treacherous scheme, don't fall for it! "

"Oh?" Li Si tilted his head and looked at Wu You with some doubts, and asked, "How does Sir know that Zhao Gao didn't sincerely persuade His Majesty this time?"

Wu You bowed humbly and said to Li Si: "Could it be possible that the prime minister forgot that Zhao Gao falsely passed on the decree to kill Lord Fusu and General Meng Tian? Now that Your Majesty is incompetent, and Zhao Gao alone controls the affairs of state, the Prime Minister thinks, is Zhao Gao willing to hand over the affairs of state to Your Majesty?"

When Wu You uttered the words about the change of the sand dunes and the stupidity of the second generation, Li Si's face changed, revealing a trace of displeasure.

Wu You pretended not to see it, and still said to Li Si: "Zhao Gao is insidious and treacherous. Since ancient times, all eunuchs who served the king in the palace, whether castrated or not, must have a dark mind. What they pursue is nothing but wealth. Hequan, the country and the country are worthless in their eyes, how could he hand over the power he already has in his hands for the sake of Daqin?"

Li Si's eyes narrowed slightly. Although Wu You's words were straightforward and ugly, they hit the point every sentence, which made him a little more suspicious of Zhao Gao's previous cry.

"Sir, what do you think about this matter?" Li Si was silent for a moment, and said to Wu You: "The prime minister has promised Zhao Gao to go to see His Majesty tomorrow morning, if he doesn't go, he might be ridiculed."

"Prime Minister!" Wu You clasped his fists at Li Si and said, "Is the prime minister's wealth and life more important or being ridiculed by the world?"

"This..." Li Si was taken aback by Wu You's question, and remained silent for a while.

Seeing that Li Si didn't speak, Wu You said, "This time, Zhao Gao must have set up the game in advance, and just waited for the prime minister to jump into the game. If the prime minister goes, he can push the boat with the current and defeat the prime minister in one fell swoop; if the prime minister doesn't go, Zhao Gao will definitely spread the word among the ministers that the prime minister is wrong, now the only way to find some rare things in the mansion is to go to the palace to have an audience with His Majesty in the morning, after presenting the treasures, he will implore His Majesty to come to the court in person to set the court order!"

Li Si nodded, and said with deep conviction: "What you said is true, sir. I happen to have two peacocks from Lingnan in my house. These birds have gorgeous coats and look like phoenixes. It's just that these birds like warmth and are difficult to raise. , presumably as a gift to His Majesty, His Majesty will be delighted."

Seeing that Li Si agreed with his point of view, Wu You smiled slightly and said: "That's very good. In the court tomorrow, the prime minister only needs to show his loyalty to His Majesty and invite him to attend the court in person. Don't speak too aggressively, or you will be punished." Zhao Gao's plan!"
