Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 260 Li Si fell into deep thought!
The situation of the first emperor seemed to deteriorate again, and the drive even stopped for a while because of this.

"What's going on? Can His Majesty's health get better?" Zhao Si frowned and looked at Xia Wuqi.

Xia Wuqi didn't answer, but let out a deep sigh.

Zhao Si glanced at Xia Wuqie who was full of sadness, and knew that Xia Wuqiu might not be able to do anything this time.

Zhao Si didn't know many people. In this case, he could only maximize the halo of uncut jade and be responsible for the food safety and travel safety of the first emperor.

After another two days, Emperor Shihuang's health showed some signs of improvement, and he ate obviously more, so he continued to march until he reached the sand dunes.

Originally, according to Zhao Si's changed plan, in order to avoid the sand dunes, the place where the first emperor was destined to die, he did not intend to let the driver park here and leave as soon as possible.

However, that night, Emperor Shi Huang suddenly fell ill, and his condition deteriorated extremely.

The driver had to park in the sand dunes.

"Dune..."

Zhao Si sighed, at this moment, it seemed that he was echoing with history again in a trance.

"Doctor Xia, if you dare to ask about His Majesty's health, how sure are you?" Zhao Si asked seriously.

Xia Wuqi remained silent for a long time, but in the end he did not give Zhao Si an accurate answer. Zhao Si understood Xia Wuqi's subtext. From Xia Wuqi's point of view, the first emperor may have been in danger.

The first emperor's car was moored in the sand dunes, and he didn't realize it at first.

"Call the servants and guards!" Zhao Si gave the order after deliberating for a long time.

A group of palace servants and even bodyguards who served the First Emperor closely were recruited by Zhao Si forcibly.

There are not many people, and there are only a few dozen people in total.

These are people who know the recent situation of the first emperor and come in and out to serve the guards at close range.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is ill. I don't want any rumors to leak out. If there are any rumors, I will kill them!" Zhao Si said expressionlessly.

Zhao Si's rare earnestness made all the palace servants and maids feel frightened, and bowed down one after another.

Afterwards, Zhao Si selected and arranged the next serving candidates among the maidservants who knew about the emperor's recent situation, and did not continue to expand the scope.

Let the current insiders continue to work, and those who don't know don't have to continue to participate, so as to further prevent the news that Emperor Shihuang was seriously ill from being leaked, so that those with unruly hearts can seize the opportunity.

After finishing the next service schedule, Zhao Si went to find Li Si in private.

"Li Xiang!"

Like Zhao Si, Li Si's expression was extremely solemn.

As the head of the hundred officials, Li Si often had to report the state of affairs to the first emperor, so he naturally knew the current situation of the first emperor.

Besides Li Si, Meng Yi, Zhao Gao...

Zhao Gao is the head of the courtiers, and Meng Yi is the loyal minister of the first emperor, and these two people cannot be avoided no matter what.

"Your Majesty's body is ill, Li Xiang should also know, I visit Li Xiang today, I want to ask Li Xiang, the accompanying officials, how many people know that His Majesty is sick?" Zhao Si asked.

"Not counting the palace servants, besides me, there should be Zhao Gao and Meng Yi." Li Si replied without thinking.

"Your Majesty is sick here, and the pain has not improved for a long time. If you don't cover it up, I'm afraid that the officials and soldiers in the convoy will panic. Leaking the news, Baiguan still needs to pay attention to Li Xiang." Zhao Si cupped his hands and saluted.

Li Si nodded. He could understand Zhao Si's meaning and supported Zhao Si's decision.

After all, the proverb of Zulong's death this year is still vivid in my memory. If the news of the First Emperor's sickness in the sand dunes comes out, I'm afraid it will really make everyone panic.

"How is Your Majesty doing?" Li Si complied with Zhao Si's instructions and asked again.

"It's not very good... Dr. Xia can't do anything. Right now, he can only resign himself to fate." Facing Li Si, Zhao Si still chose to tell the truth.

Li Si was shocked when he heard this, and his face became more serious.

It is recognized that Xia Wuqiu's medical skills are excellent, if Xia Wuqiu is helpless, then Emperor Shi Huang's illness should not be underestimated.

"I let Dunwei search around for doctors..." Li Si opened his mouth, facing this situation, no matter how powerful and talented he was, it was useless.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of human beings.

"Do your best..." Zhao Si suddenly smiled, waved his hands and left.

Zhao Si himself was also a little confused. If the so-called historical correction really existed, Zhao Si himself didn't know the meaning of what he did.

After digging the wall for a long time, is it possible that the final result is to seek refuge with Han Gaozu Liu Bang?
Zhao Si did not recognize this fact, even if the death of Emperor Shihuang was inevitable, Zhao Si also planned to do his best to save and make up for it.

"If the first emperor really dies, then Zhao Gao and Hu Hai will go down to be buried with him!" A fierce light flashed in Zhao Si's eyes.

Indeed, Zhao Si knew that the serious illness of the First Emperor probably had nothing to do with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

But if history wants to repair the abnormality caused by itself, then Zhao Si doesn't mind killing Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

He would like to see if Fusu succeeds to the throne smoothly, without Zhao Gao's pointing at the deer as a horse, and with high-yielding grain as a foundation, whether Daqin will perish in the second generation.

To this day, Zhao Si doesn't know when his mentality has quietly changed.

At the very beginning, Zhao Si just wanted to do something within his power, and if he couldn't do anything, Zhao Si also planned to run away and seek refuge with Liu Bang.

Later, he was suddenly chased away by the first emperor, and Zhao Si also once thought about running away to escape the heavy responsibility of the Qiangui Order.

But until now, Zhao Si no longer had these thoughts in his mind.

Even if Zhao Si is a modern person, no matter from any point of view, the first emperor's trust in him is worthy of Zhao Si's willingness to fight for it.

After Zhao Si left, Li Si, left prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, was left with a sad expression on his face.

The situation of Shi Huangdi is very bad!

Li Si is very worried!
Although Li Si was just a tool of the First Emperor for a long time, it is undeniable that the First Emperor gave Li Si everything he wanted except for his unreserved trust.

The first emperor was very generous, and he would never treat those who had meritorious deeds badly.

From any point of view, Li Si recognized that Emperor Shihuang was a very good king.

Except for some little naughty things...

From an emotional point of view, Li Si can be regarded as starting from the grassroots. He was personally discovered and promoted by the First Emperor, and he still has the grace of reinvention.

When he suddenly heard the news that the First Emperor was seriously ill, Li Si was also very anxious, and he couldn't help praying secretly for the First Emperor.

Li Si knew that many things about Great Qin were all tied to the First Emperor himself. Once the First Emperor died suddenly, the impact on Great Qin could be said to be devastating.

Li Si didn't even dare to think about this question. He could only secretly pray that the first emperor would be able to get through the difficulties smoothly with his own auspiciousness.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Si seemed absent-minded when dealing with official duties.

The first emperor had a serious health problem, so more government affairs were handed over to Li Si.

After Li Si reviewed it, the first emperor personally checked and stamped it.

Major events in the world are determined by small memorials and jade seals. Li Si's power has finally been expanded again, but this time, Li Si doesn't feel the slightest bit of happiness in his heart.

A lot of memorials will only make Li Si very upset.

Therefore, his speed of reviewing memorials was much slower.

In the middle of the night, after the last memorial was reviewed, Li Si took a look at the flickering candlelight, got out of the car again, and looked at Shi Huangdi's driver.

Driving around, it seems that everything is going as usual, as if driving on the sand dunes, just because the first emperor wanted to rest here for a while.

Li Si suddenly clenched his fists and looked up at the sky.

"The faint sky, how thin it is!"

Li Si let out a long sigh!
He had witnessed everything about the first emperor, and he knew better how difficult it was for the first emperor to get to where he is today.

And he, Li Si, the left minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, the de facto head of all officials, also served as the first emperor's tool for more than ten years, and he was gradually reduced to a tool of power.

Until this year, everything finally turned around!
Li Si discovered a brand new path in the mouth of that kid Zhao Si.

Li Si, who was addicted to power and became a tool, was suddenly awakened by the temptation of becoming a son.

He wants to blaze a new path, and most importantly, Emperor Shihuang is willing to cooperate with him to open up this path.

He got a lot of inspiration from Zhao Si, and began to re-examine what he had learned all his life, and to innovate.

From controlling the people to being good to the people, this is the fundamental change of Legalism.

From wooing the nobles, to wooing Li Shu and thousands of Qianshou, a brand new road ahead of Li Si is gradually unfolding.

The plan has been made!
Everything is left to be settled!

According to the original plan, this tour of the world will completely crush the rumors, and when the first emperor drives back to Xianyang, it will be the time to execute the order to move the nobles, and it will also be the beginning of Li Si becoming a saint and proclaiming himself a son, and bringing forth the new through the old.

but……

All of this was overshadowed by Emperor Shi Huang's serious illness.

A question that had never been thought of during the day could not help but appear in Li Si's mind at this moment.

When Li Si made a decision, he once told his son that he had found his purpose.

But if the First Emperor unfortunately passed away, where should he go?

Where should the return of Daqin be?
Without the suppression of the first emperor, if I wanted to achieve such an unprecedented feat, would I really not face a fierce counterattack and fail because of it?

Take a step back and say...

After the first emperor passed away, is it really possible for him to implement everything in the plan?

Who will support yourself?Zhao Si?

Li Si subconsciously didn't count Zhao Si among them, but even if Zhao Si supported him, so what?
He was just a close minister of the first emperor, and once the first emperor passed away, Zhao Si would be nothing more than a dispensable servant.

After that, Li Si had no choice but to think about a more realistic thing that he didn't dare to think about.

Who will become the crown prince, and who can succeed?
