Chapter 24 Qin
The curtain moved slightly, and Bi Xia came out from behind the curtain with a complex expression.
Today, he finally found a chance to avoid the people Zhao Gao sent to monitor him, and sneaked out of the palace, all the way to the prime minister's mansion, just to know what happened to his cheap old brother Fusu.After all, as soon as Qin Shihuang's funeral ceremony comes out tomorrow, the court will definitely have to announce the succession of the new emperor.
As for why the outside world has not had any doubts about the new emperor, it is entirely because everyone tacitly agrees that Fusu will be enthroned as emperor!
Bi Xia entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion smoothly, but Li Si didn't even chase him away, and even treated him politely with hot tea, which really flattered Bi Xia.When he cleared Li Si's heart a little, and felt that this person was not so strange, the servants of the prime minister's mansion came out and reported that Mr. Zhao Gao, the order of the CRRC mansion, had come to the door.
Hearing Zhao Gao's name, he was shocked instantly. Before Li Si could say anything, he sneaked into the curtain at the back, and waved his hand very considerately to Li Si, signaling them to talk about themselves, don't worry about it at all. them.
Li Si looked at Bi Xia's quick movements behind the curtain and fell silent, then turned around and invited Zhao Gao in.
Bi Xia held his breath and hid behind the curtain, to see what he heard the big news - Zhao Gao actually cared about the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum issue!And he instigated Li Si again!
But at the end, he felt something was wrong. Zhao Gao said that he sent someone to Shangjun before, and now he has received the news... What does this mean?What news did he get?
Bi Xia struggled to express his guess, "The teacher means that my elder brother Fusu..."
"Isn't your master clear?" Li Si slowly poured a cup of tea for Bi Xia, and then pushed it in front of Bi Xia, "Master, please have some tea."
Looking at the tea without a trace of heat, the corners of Bi Xia's mouth could not help twitching. He had just silently praised Li Si for entertaining guests with hot tea, but because of Zhao Gao's sudden arrival, he hadn't drunk it yet, and when he came out again, the result would be left. The cold tea is here!Is there no servant who serves tea in such a big prime minister's mansion?
Li Si noticed that Bi Xia's gaze was firmly on the tea, he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "I'm really sorry, my minister is happy..." He waved his hand to let the servants replace the tea. Xia shook his head, took the tea and drank it down.
He just casually talked about this little thing in his heart, and Li Si didn't do it on purpose, so it's good to drink a glass of cold water on a hot day.Bi Xia put down his teacup, looked at Li Si hesitating for a long time, and still spoke out the question in his heart.
"Prime Minister... Is it too late to send the edict?"
Li Si was taking a sip of his tea when he heard the words and immediately stopped.He put down the teacup slowly, as if trying to remember something, blinked after a long time, and said something that almost made Bixia vomit blood, "...ah, I forgot."
Bi Xia: ...
He shouldn't have chosen to trust Li Si from the very beginning!
His poor big brother Fusu!
Although Bi Xia always likes to talk about helping Su Yuzhong, in fact, he is full of sympathy for this person in his heart.Think about it, Qin Shihuang pursued the legalist policy of governing the country, believing in absolute power and strict criminal laws, but Fusu was a typical Confucian student.
At that time, the alchemists Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng were ordered by the emperor to search for the elixir of immortality but failed. After returning, they encouraged Confucian scholars to criticize the Qin government, but finally fled by themselves. This directly caused Qin Shihuang to murder the three Confucian scholars involved in the case.Fusu naturally couldn't see it, and repeatedly persuaded his father to implement benevolent governance, but the Emperor Shi Huang was so annoyed that he was sent to Shangjun, and he was only given the title of supervisor, and did not rectify his name as prince.
Bi Xia pondered, Fusu must have been disheartened at that time.Qin Shihuang didn't make it clear that Fusu must have thought that he was rejected by his father. After all, not everyone can comfort himself and say that this is to hone him to become a talent.After being left out in the cold for several years, a direct imperial edict scolded him and then sent him to death. In a matter of minutes, he would be so heartbroken that he would kill himself!
He understood that Fusu would simply obey orders and commit suicide, so he hoped that Li Si would convey the accurate information to him as soon as possible, and let him know that Qin Shihuang actually had great expectations for him, rather than rejecting him!
But look at what Li Si is doing!
He clenched his teacup tightly and slammed it on the table, "Prime Minister, I respect you for your reputation and talent. I discussed this matter with you a month ago, and you swore to promise this matter, but now you tell me that you will do this." Forgot something?"
Li Si picked up his teacup and coughed lightly, "I'm getting old, and my memory is really not very good..."
"Prime Minister, now is not the time to be joking." Bi Xia's face was about to collapse, and he was ashamed to say that he was old with his male god face, it was really useless!
Li Si put down his teacup, met Bi Xia's eyes, and finally withdrew his sloppy face, and said solemnly, "My lord, do you really want to ascend to the supreme position?"
Bi Xia's face was so dark that it was about to drip water, he clenched his fists and told himself to hold back, hold back——
Bear with me!He finally couldn't control his small universe, got up and punched the opponent directly in the face.
Time froze at that moment, Li Si seemed completely unaware that Bi Xia would strike directly, he didn't react at all, he received the punch abruptly, and took several steps back before he was able to stabilize himself when he was caught off guard.
He couldn't hold back the surprise on his face at all, and looked at Bixia with an expression of disbelief covering his cheek that was hit.
Bi Xia spread his hands, "I'm really sorry, this person is young, and he is a little impulsive when he is young."
Liss: …
Finally started directly, Bi Xia felt instantly refreshed physically and mentally.At this moment, his tone could be called brisk, "Master Prime Minister, since you don't believe that I have no intention of coveting the throne, then what are you going to do?"
Seeing the other person's flushed cheeks, he felt in a better mood, and he didn't care too much about why he felt the pain in the back of his hand.
Li Si was punched, but there was no displeasure on his face, he just frowned and put down his hand covering his face, calmly exposing his slightly swollen cheeks to the other party, so that the other party could enjoy watching more intuitively The thrill of the fruits of one's own violence.
"My lord, if I tell you that all my recent actions are just to help you ascend the throne better, what do you think?"
Bi Xia gritted his teeth. The reason for sowing dissension in front of Zhao Gao before his feelings was to make him ascend the throne better? "I can't thank you enough!"
It's not like Li Si suddenly discovered that he might really be in the position and later gain favor with him in front of him, right? This method is too clumsy!Bi Xia looked at him, really confused what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd.
Li Si just smiled and did not explain, "Young master, the eldest son has died in Shangjun, it's time for you to think about yourself. Tomorrow the emperor will go to the funeral, and the edict will definitely go out."
Bi Xia calmed down, and simply stopped thinking about Li Si's weird behavior.Fusu is dead, so who else is suitable for the position?He skimmed over the two days he had spent with his brothers, and finally reflected with some sadness that he had no one who seemed suitable.
And at this time, he has no energy to push any young master to the throne.
So... He frowned, in order to prevent Zhao Gao from supporting other princes to rule as puppet, it seemed that only he himself could become the new emperor to grasp more power and save this crumbling country.
He looked up at Li Si, and from the conversation he had heard between this man and Zhao Gao, he finally understood why Zhao Gao had always shown himself to be so powerful—this man held the Xianyang Defenders and Dong The patrolling army, not to mention how strong Qin Shihuang's army was every time he went on patrol, let's talk about the 70 Xianyang city guards, who won't be domineering after getting it!
Also listening to the conversation between these two people, plus the tit-for-tat incident about Qin Shihuang's funeral in the court, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Gao has extraordinary power in the army, and it seems that the 50 troops in Meng Tian's hands have now returned to Zhao Gao, and Zhang Han's army in Lishan...how insane!
Zhao Gao must be held steady!
"Prime Minister, I don't care what you want to do." Bi Xia approached Li Si and grabbed him by the collar, "You have a lot of criminal records, I will no longer believe any of your words. I can't say what you think. But I only have one sentence , if you can remember what you said today, and sincerely want to support me to the throne, then at the grand ceremony tomorrow, you don’t need to talk too much about what I want.”
After saying that, he let go of his grip on Li Si's collar, and walked away without hesitation, leaving Li Si's study.After leaving the study, he couldn't help rubbing his fists, feeling a little pain. Just now he hit Li Si in the face, isn't it some kind of stone?
Li Si, who stayed where he was, quietly watched his back disappear from sight, gently stroked his slightly swollen cheek with his hand, and within a moment, his face returned to its original shape.He raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curled up, and there was a smile in his eyes.
At this moment, he felt a slight vibration in his sleeve, and with a light hook of his fingers, a black tortoise shell automatically slid out and floated into the air. A man wearing a wide-sleeved curvy train appeared in the light screen refracted on the tortoise shell.
"Old Xuan, did you find anything over there?"
Li Si looked out the door and shook his head slightly.
"This is weird, what did the technical department do, where did the abnormal data come from..." The man muttered a few words, waved his hand at Li Si, and the light screen disappeared instantly.
Li Si stood where he was, and it took him a long time to realize - he seemed to have forgotten to ask where the opponent's army was.
