Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 379
Hu Hai sighed heavily, and said, "Teacher, this should be like this!"

"I've heard others say that the sage emperor knows his subjects best, and the wise father knows his son best. Since the father has never ordered the enfeoffment, what else can I say?"

"No, my lord." Zhao Gao showed a resolute look on his face, pressing the imperial seal and imperial edict in his hand, and said, "The authority of this world is here, I hope you will think about it carefully, my lord. The difference between being a minister, being restricted by others, and restricting others is not the same!"

Hu Hai showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Teacher, to depose the elder brother and appoint the younger brother, this is an infighting between brothers, it is an unrighteous act, disobeying the imperial father's edict, tampering with the edict privately, this is unfilial, I I have no talent or virtue, relying on others to sit on the throne is incompetent, the world will oppose me, I will be desperate, and the country will be destroyed because of this, I cannot do such a thing.”

"Shang Tang, Zhou Wu killed their monarchs, and no one said they were unfaithful. Instead, they were praised for their morality. They have always been careless in doing big things, and they have never been humble in doing great things. Because of some minor details, they forget about big things. Disasters will surely be left behind in this day.”

Zhao Gao continued: "My lord, you are the eighteenth son of His Majesty. Normally speaking, no matter how many rounds you have, it is not your turn to be the emperor. If you are hesitant now, it will be even more difficult to become the emperor in the future." Difficult, you have to think clearly!"

There was shaken look in Hu Hai's eyes. Obviously, facing the temptation of the throne, Hu Hai was also caught in a fierce struggle at this moment.

Although he is playful, he is not confused about this kind of thing, and he also knows that he is definitely not the material to be an emperor, but who would not want a happy life when the throne is in front of him, sitting in the world, and ruling other people's lives with a single word?
"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Zhao Gao looked at Li Si and asked.

Li Si said with anger on his face, "This is not something that a subject should discuss. Since His Majesty has a will, we should obey it."

"Really?" Zhao Gao chuckled, "Prime Minister, then I'll tell you about you, you can hear me clearly."

"Prime Minister, you might as well think about it carefully. Compared with Meng Tian, ​​who is more capable? Whose contribution is higher in Daqin? Whose strategy is more far-reaching?"

"This..." Li Si showed hesitation.

"When you were promoted from a court lieutenant to the position of prime minister, General Meng Tian resolutely opposed it."

Zhao Gao continued: "And you have been the Prime Minister Zuo of the Great Qin Dynasty. In order to realize His Majesty's ideals all these years, you have offended many people in the open and in the dark. Tell me, who will the people of the world support more?"

"Compared with General Meng Tian, ​​who has a closer relationship with Fusu?"

"Once Fu Su returns to Xianyang to take over the throne, Meng Tian will definitely take up the post of Prime Minister of Daqin at that time. How about you, Prime Minister?"

"I have been a servant in the palace for more than 20 years, but I have never seen a resigned prime minister who can pass on the title to the next generation and keep the family's wealth. In the end, even if you are the prime minister, you may not be able to hold it Tonghou Zhiyin, returned to his hometown safely. Prime Minister, you might as well think about what happened to Prime Minister Wang back then..."

"Then Prime Minister..."

"Enough..." Zhao Gao was about to continue, but was interrupted by Li Si forcefully, Li Si said: "Zhao Gao, let me tell you, this is His Majesty's will, and I, Li Si, have nothing to consider in following His Majesty's will. "

Zhao Gao sneered disdainfully, and said: "Prime Minister, forgive me for speaking bluntly, if you follow my wishes, you can keep your position as a rich and honored marquis, and you can live your life without any danger."

"But if you insist on doing this, then don't regret it when it will harm your descendants and destroy your family!"

"But Prime Minister, if you support Mr. Hu Hai's succession to the throne, the result will be completely different. At that time, Mr. Hu Hai will definitely rely on you to govern Daqin, and your family will be even more noble..."

At this time, Zhao Gao changed his words and said, "Forget it!"

"Fu Su succeeds to the throne, what is the situation of the two of you, and what does it have to do with me? I just feel sorry for the two of you for no reason. Obviously this throne is so easy to get, but I have to give it up."

"Obviously, there are better choices and futures, but I choose Fusu, really..."

Hu Hai's eyes were red, and he said, "Teacher, I would like to be the emperor."

Seeing that Hu Hai had changed his attitude at this time, Zhao Gao was overjoyed, but his face didn't change at all, instead he became more sad.

Zhao Gao sighed, and said, "My lord, even if I want you to inherit the throne, the Prime Minister will not agree to it!"

"If you really want to inherit the throne, you should persuade the Prime Minister!"

Hu Hai immediately knelt down in front of Li Si and said, "Prime Minister, you know me."

"I'm a fun-loving person, and I can't do big things. I'm not as talented as my elder brother, but as long as I ascend the throne and become emperor, I will definitely rely more on you, Prime Minister. Think about it, if elder brother does Emperor, what good is it for you?"

"Can he be so close and trust you, Prime Minister, like me?"

Li Si's firm belief at this time has been shaken under the lobbying of the two.But he still stubbornly said: "Li Si is a commoner Cai Yi, who is valued by His Majesty. He is the prime minister, named Tonghou, and his descendants will receive generous rewards and treatment. The important task was entrusted to me, if I fail His Majesty, how can I have the face to see His Majesty in the future?"

"The sage moves according to the time, and he will see the situation clearly. Right now, the authority of the world is in the hands of Mr. Hu Hai and me. Prime Minister, you'd better think about it carefully. There is no turning back in this world."

"Besides, even if Fusu succeeds to the throne, do you think the Great Qin can really be as stable as Mount Tai, Prime Minister?"

"The reason why His Majesty has not appointed Mr. Fu Su as the heir apparent for so long is that other people don't know about these things. Prime Minister, don't you know?"

"In the end, Prime Minister, you will die and your family will be wiped out, and this Great Qin will fall apart in the hands of Fu Su. At that time, Prime Minister Li, will you be worthy of Your Majesty?"

It has to be said that Zhao Gao has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he has a good grasp of his personal weaknesses.

It is precisely because the ability to observe words and demeanor has been practiced to the point of perfection that Zhao Gao has been favored by Ying Zheng for more than 20 years. Even if he was sentenced to death by Meng Yilun, Ying Zheng pardoned him.

As for Li Si's weakness, how could Zhao Gao not know?
As Yingzheng's number one die-hard supporter, Li Si always firmly followed Yingzheng's orders, and the only thing that could change Li Si's mind was the world that Yingzheng valued.
