Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 134 The Eunuch Knows the King! (seeking subscription)

twilight.

Li Si walked out of the imperial city and disappeared into the heavy snow.

His heart was heavy and lost, just like the heavy snow all over the sky. Since autumn and winter, some unfathomable changes have taken place in Shihuang's words and deeds, and some unfathomable thoughts have taken place.

What kind of change?What kind of thoughts?
He can't guess.

These days, he has been very cautious, and has been intentionally guessing. He has vaguely caught some vague shadows, but he has not been able to prove it. He just feels that the first emperor seems to be very dissatisfied with the current situation, and even has Thoughts on supplementing the New Deal.

In fact, he was always worried.

When the first emperor was patrolling Liangshan Palace, he also followed behind, but happened to have a middle-aged man who knew him well, so he secretly told himself about the first emperor's complaints, and because he was worried, he purposely reduced the size of the chariot to the palace. reduced.

Thinking about it now, what I have done is really harming others and myself.

I am the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, but I am in touch with the Shi Huang's close ministers, how can I not be afraid of the Shi Huang?
He no longer wanted to think about Liangshan Palace.

Indeed.

I was too worried about being disgusted by the first emperor, and I was too worried about losing power because of it, and I wanted to find out what the first emperor was thinking as soon as possible, so I lost my head for a while.

What he was thinking about right now was what the first emperor wanted to do.

Did Shihuang start to think about the gains and losses of the New Deal, and wanted to use this to correct some New Deal?Or are you strongly dissatisfied with some of your political opinions?If it was the former, he would try his best to assist Shi Huang to make up for the lack, if it was the latter, it would have another meaning.

The overall formulation of the Great Qin New Deal has already been decided. The First Emperor had no opinion at the beginning, and he has been firmly implementing it. If the First Emperor wanted to correct it, how could it be so easy?
Can Da Qin really stand up to such a toss now?

If not.

What was Shihuang thinking?
He couldn't guess.

At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the car: "Report to the Prime Minister, you have returned to the mansion."

The car stopped.

Li Si calmed down, lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.

The cold snowflakes hit his face, and Li Si's old cheeks looked up at the sky. The sky was already dark, so he stopped to take a few glances before entering the mansion.

He didn't go to the study as usual.

The fire in the room had already been lit, making crackling noises.

Li Si was sitting upright, recalling the events of the past few months. Suddenly, he thought of Fusu's transformation, and also thought of Fusu's actions some time ago.

He frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "The change of the eldest son is indeed a bit strange. At that time, he asked me and other courtiers, and he also mentioned a person, a person who has not disclosed his identity. The change of the eldest son may be due to this person. change, if so."

"The 'Guan Shanhai' proposed by the eldest son may also have this person."

"This person seems to have other ideas about the Great Qin New Deal."

Thinking of this.

There was a look of seriousness in Li Si's eyes.

He carefully recalled the recent actions of the imperial court in his mind. In fact, it was relatively quiet and relatively ordinary. It was more like trying to maintain the status quo, and he did not have the previous aggressiveness. If the first emperor really intended to correct the New Deal, he would also find a way to correct it. However, the 'inaction' during this period may be the intentional revision of some laws and regulations without any trace.

It's just that the ruling and opposition parties haven't noticed it yet.

So Shihuang was taking the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction to his courtiers?
Li Si frowned.

He already had a wave of uneasiness.

Now, the first emperor is likely to be co-starring with the eldest son, but I am alienated from the first emperor's political views. If I continue to be unable to see through the court, how can I continue to be a prime minister?

Once he is deposed and investigated, will An Zhi not be attacked?
At that time, can my own achievements really withstand that tide of fierce criticism?
Shang Jun's achievements are as high as Mount Tai, and even he ended up in such a miserable state, how can his own prestige and achievements surpass Shang Jun's?

Li Si's heart suddenly became chaotic.

He thought a lot.

If Daqin's new policy really changes and moves closer to leniency, then the name of Qin's "strictness" may fall on his own head. Since ancient times, the monarch will not actually bear the responsibility for the lack , the person responsible will only be the prime minister.

If you impose the crime of 'tyrannical government' on yourself, how can the extermination of the clan be the end?
Li Si's face changed completely.

He stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the room. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was about to be sacrificed and go up to the altar.

Especially thinking of the first emperor's order to kill.

It made Li Si's heart palpitate even more.

at the same time.

Just as disturbed as Li Si was Xu Fu.

After hearing that the first emperor attacked the servants around him, Xu Fu couldn't sit still.

He didn't understand the situation in the court.

However, Shihuang's actions in these years have undoubtedly become more and more violent. Now he found a reason and killed dozens of people directly. robbery.

He was very disturbed.

The day when the tide was supposed to be flat is now past.

He must do something.

If you wait any longer, you may die directly.

Xu Fu paced back and forth in the room, and finally decided to go see Shihuang again.

During his trip, he had to find out what was in Shi Huang's mind, whether he had doubts about himself, or whether he already had suspicions.

If there is nothing he can do, he can only resign on the spot.

He can no longer stay in Xianyang.

Xu Fu straightened his bamboo crown and strode towards Xianyang Palace.

Only this time, it still couldn't be seen.

outside the temple.

Xu Fu said coldly: "Zhao Gao, I was ordered by the first emperor to search for the immortal medicine. The tide has passed now. If you don't hurry up, you will really miss it. The next time Fu Island appears, you won't know When is it, how dare you stop it?!"

Zhao Gao said coldly: "Xu Fangshi, I, Zhao Gao, also follow His Majesty's orders."

"Your Majesty doesn't want to see you right now, how dare I resist?"

"Furthermore."

"As you said, the day of the tide has passed, and if you go after it, you may not be able to reach the fairy island. Why are you so eager?"

Xu Fu flicked his sleeves and said, "That's wrong."

"Back then, His Majesty was dreaming of a sea monster, and his health was already in bad shape. All these years, he had wasted a lot of time waiting for Fu Island to appear in the world. Now that Fu Island has finally appeared, if he didn't seize this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste of time? A gift from God?"

"I, Xu Funai, am a scholar. I don't want to be an official, and I don't want to make money. What I want is to go to sea to seek immortality."

"Seeing that Fu Island is about to disappear, don't I feel anxious?"

Zhao Gao smiled lightly, and said: "I don't know much about going out to sea to find immortals, but I also know that the master asked for hundreds of virgins, boys and girls, and five large ships, which were full of food, vehicles, silk and other tributes to the gods. , How can you say that you are not greedy for money?"

Xu Fu gave Zhao Gao a cold look.

He already knows.

Zhao Gao will not speak for himself.

He whispered: "The sun in the east comes out of the vast ocean, it is full of rivers, the sea is turbulent, and the new policy of the Great Qin Dynasty is here, it is boundless—"

"Since Your Majesty has no intention of seeking immortals, I, Xu Fu, dare not look forward to it."

"Begging to put down and return to the mountains."

talking.

Xu Fu bowed to the main hall.

Zhao Gao was unmoved.

Seeing this, Xu Fu sighed lightly and left quickly.

When Xu Fu walked away completely, the smile on Zhao Gao's face faded, and he said with a sneer, "Ziyun's alchemist is vain, but the truth is true."

"Now His Majesty doesn't believe it, but Xu Fu is panicked, and he no longer has the old style. However, you have practiced alchemy for Your Majesty for so long, and you know His Majesty's physique. How can it be so easy to return to the mountains? Now you are panicked, But it’s full of mistakes.”

"Then I won't keep you."

Zhao Gao went into the hall and reported what Xu Fu had said one by one.

Ying Zheng said: "Xu Fu has protected me for many years, and I have always trusted him, but his attitude now makes me feel a little chilled."

talking.

Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Since the day of low tide has passed this time, you can wait for the next day of low tide and tell Xu Fu to stay in Xianyang and continue refining medicinal stones for Daqin. will treat him badly."

heard.

Zhao Gao showed a strange look on his face, and said, "No."

Zhao Gao retreated slowly.

After leaving the hall, Zhao Gao's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Xu Fu, you asked for this, so don't blame me."

"I, Zhao Gao, can't help myself."

"Your Majesty's disposition has changed now. If I don't clear the relationship with you, I may be implicated. I, Zhao Gao, have been imprisoned once. I'm really afraid. If I do it again, I'm afraid my life will be lost. You I have received a lot of favors in the past, now it is time to show my 'loyalty'."

Zhao Gao sneered and walked towards Fang Shiju.

Soon, Zhao Gao arrived at Fang Shiju and conveyed the order of the first emperor.

Done.

Zhao Gao ignored Xu Fu's expression and left directly.

It's just that before leaving, he glanced at Fang Shiju in a subtle way, and saw that among the copper tripods not far away, there were a few weird ones that were neither purple, nor red, nor black, purple, red, and black. When he took the pill, he paused for a moment, with a cold expression on the corner of his mouth.

the other side.

Xu Fu's face changed slightly.

He already knew something was wrong.

At any time in the past, the alchemist's residence was a secret place, and no other non-alchemist was allowed to enter. Even if the first emperor had an order, it would be issued outside the alchemist's residence. Now Zhao Gao broke in like this, and made the situation inside the alchemist's residence Sweep it all at a glance.

The attitude is very obvious.

The first emperor didn't trust the alchemists at all. The reason why he kept himself was just waiting for Xia Wu and these imperial physicians to verify his pills. Kill directly.

Thinking of this.

Xu Fu could no longer calm down.

He no longer dared to have any more thoughts, he only had the thought of fleeing.

the other side.

Zhao Gao has returned to his command.

But when reporting back, he reported Xu Fu's anomalies after learning the news to Shihuang with a little embellishment. At the same time, he also reported the situation of Xu Fu's refined pills in detail.

Done.

Zhao Gao withdrew.

He has done all he can.

Now that I have said what I said, I have completely separated myself from Xu Fu. Even if Xu Fu touches me in the future, His Majesty will not convict me.

And
He believed that Xu Fu would be restless now.

I'm afraid that he has already started planning to escape, and when Xu Fu escapes, he will die.

Zhao Gao looked around and whispered: "Yan Le, Yan Le, I have given you the opportunity, it depends on whether you can catch it, if you can catch it, your name will also fall into the ears of His Majesty , it will be too easy to get an official position by then."

"Don't let me down!"
