Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 140 Li Si's Response

Xianyang City, in Li Si's prime minister's mansion.

Li Si looked at the roll of white paper that his eldest son Li You ordered to deliver, and his heart was already shaken.

Especially the accompanying letter written by Li You made Li Si fall into shock. Fusu's death was already an undeniable fact among countless courtiers.

But such a conclusion was handed over to the emperor by Ting Wei himself. As a result, in Xianyang City, the property of more than a dozen nobles was confiscated, and the three clans were wiped out.

However, in Li You's letter, he told Li Si that Fusu was not dead, and Fusu also played a vital role in the affairs of Luoyang.

In an instant, Li Si knew that Fusu used the golden cicada's trick to get rid of his shell, making everyone in Xianyang mistakenly think that Fusu was dead, thus revealing his true colors.

Originally, Fusu was in the light, and everyone was in the dark. No matter who it was, they would not reveal their true colors, but Fusu's move was completely reversed. It became that everyone was in the light, and Fusu was hiding in the dark to observe .

This strategy is not unreasonable. One can imagine what kind of hot discussion will be caused once Fusu returns to Xianyang.

Li Si suddenly stared in the direction of Xianyang Palace. Perhaps His Majesty already knew the news that Fusu was still alive. However, His Majesty also kept his mouth shut about this, probably because he wanted to observe the reaction of the ministers.

Li Si couldn't help but feel amused when he thought of Feng Quji trying his best to build up momentum for his son Yinggao in the court these days, and Yinggao also tried his best to perform in front of the first emperor.

Young Master Gao was simply played by Fu Su. No matter how well he behaved in front of the emperor, he was no match for the noise Fu Su made in Luoyang. Even Han Cheng, the old son of Hengyang Jun, was arrested and sent to the prison. Xianyang, no matter how your young master Gao performs, this monstrous contribution cannot be compared.

And how could His Majesty not know about these things?All the efforts Feng Quji and Gongzi Gao have made these days have been in vain.

Although Fusu is not in Xianyang, in His Majesty's heart, I am afraid that Fusu is more important than Fusu in Xianyang.

Li Si picked up those blank papers again and carefully browsed the contents written on them. When he saw these things, Li Si was overjoyed. With these things on the white papers, the policy of unifying the currency and promoting the currency system can be carried out in a short time .

From this, Li Si also benefited a lot, and he could select a lot of content as a reference and supplement it into the monetary policy he designed.

Among them, there is also a lot of information about currency that Fusu obtained from the people. In a certain way, it gave Li Si a great reference and inspiration.

Originally, according to Li Si and Ying Zheng's plan, the unification of the currency would have to be postponed for a few more years, and letting his eldest son Li You go to Sanchuan was actually a foreshadowing for this policy, and he just waited for Li You to settle the matter. After checking it out, we immediately started to arrange it.

However, Fusu had already brought out the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Sanchuan in advance. If there was any further delay, there might be new forces continuing what those remnants of the Six Kingdoms had done.

Once a power vacuum is formed, it won't be long before someone will take the initiative to fill it. Li Si also understands this truth.

And through the content on the white paper, Li Si had completely changed his view of Fu Su. He believed that Fu Su was no longer the disciple of the Confucian Chun Yuyue who insisted on enfeoffment, otherwise, this white paper would never have appeared in front of him.

From Fusu's words, Li Si also felt that Fusu recognized the great unification and the system of prefectures and counties. If Fusu firmly supported the enfeoffment system, how could he demand a unified currency?
In a divided country, what is the difference between the same or different coins?Only under the county system will there be a need for currency unification.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only one who believes in the legalist theory will put forward the request for currency unification and will make unremitting efforts for it.

Taking a peek at the leopard, Li Si knew that Fusu was really different from before. Does this mean that Li Si's choice was wrong?
Up to now, Fusu has shown kindness to Li Si more than once, and Li Si can also feel it, such as the content about the unification of currency and the implementation of the currency system, Fusu can completely hand it over to the emperor alone, and he will naturally get the emperor However, Fusu did not do so, but handed it over to Li Si, giving him part of the credit.

Fusu's change and the kindness he showed gave Li Si hope. If Fusu was like this, it would be all right for Fusu to be the emperor in the future. He just needed to help him with all his heart.

However, if he really falls for Fusu, can Fusu accept it?He and Meng Tian had always been at odds. Li Si knew this very well. Even the Meng brothers disapproved of Li You's position as the governor of Sanchuan.

Li Si put aside these thoughts in his mind. Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing right now is to hand over these blank papers to His Majesty, and at the same time, reassess the monetary policy that has been formulated.

Thinking of this, Li Si immediately drove to Xianyang Palace.

After reading the memorabilia handed over by Li Si, Ying Zheng was a little surprised. Regarding the unified currency, Li Si had actually discussed it with him several times. The reason why it has not been discussed in the court and then implemented is that the time is not yet ripe.

And Ying Zheng just browsed through it roughly, and found that compared with the plan Li Si presented last time, the plan this time was undoubtedly improved a lot. This is what surprised Ying Zheng the most.

Li Si had been in the court for decades, and Ying Zheng was already very familiar with Li Si's methods. Even if it was just a slight change, Ying Zheng could feel it.

"Prime Minister, your memorial seems to be a little different from the past!" Ying Zheng turned his head and looked at Li Si.

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Si cupped his hands and said, "That's true. In fact, many parts of this memorandum depend on Mr. Fusu's help..."

"These blank papers were sent by Li Youzi, the eldest son of Fusu's servant, from Sanchuan, please read them."

As he said that, Li Si handed a stack of blank papers from his arms to Ying Zheng's hands. Looking at the thick stack of blank papers, it could be said that it was the crystallization of Fusu's hard work, and Ying Zheng felt very uncomfortable.

Although Fusu was far away from Xianyang, he never stopped thinking about him, and he never used these things to ask for credit and rewards. These were the things that touched Ying Zheng's heart.
