"Hahaha, carefree! It's too carefree!"
Li Si sat on the ground with a wine goblet in his hand and laughed heartily.
"This Chu Han really has some talent, but who asked him to be just a merchant? So what if he offered wine? Why should he let His Majesty hear these wonderful thoughts?”
"Looks like I have to go to that Chu Ji restaurant more often in the future to hear Chu Han's thoughts.”
"Only I, Li Si, can keep these thoughts from being buried, and I, Li Si, will be famous for thousands of years!”
Li Si laughed out loud, his eyes hazy, as if he could already see himself becoming Ying Zheng's one and only favorite minister, and the world bowing to him and addressing him as 'Li Zi'!
"What right does that Meng Yi have to sit in the same carriage as His Majesty and serve His Majesty? These favors should all be mine! Mine!"
"My Lord!"
The servant hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.
"What's wrong with you panicking?" Li Si said angrily.”
"Oh? Prime Minister Li sure is impressive."
Zhao Gao pushed the servant away and looked at Li Si with a mocking expression.
" You're too arrogant!" Li Si frowned." Zhao Manor Leader, aren't you being too condescending by barging into my Li Manor?!"”
Zhao Gao chuckled." I'm a eunuch. Why did I leave the palace and come to your residence? Can't you guess it, Prime Minister Li?"”
Li Si cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said,""But what decree does His Majesty have?"
Zhao Gao threw the wine gourd tied to his waist to Li Si and said with a fake smile,""His Majesty asked us to ask on his behalf. Prime Minister Li, is this wine good?”
"This!"
Li Si was shocked as he took the wine gourd from Zhao Gao.
His fingers trembled as he opened the gourd. The mellow smell of alcohol made Li Si smell like a gas that was even more poisonous than sarin gas!
Because he knew that the Emperor was using this wine to beat him up. His little tricks were all seen by the Emperor.
Ying Zheng asked him if the wine was fragrant, and he was asking him if it was fragrant to pick up people's teeth and deceive the emperor.!
But how could this be!
Even if Ying Zheng knew that he had gone to Chuji Restaurant, how would he know that these countermeasures were proposed by Shopkeeper Chu?
Could it be that Shopkeeper Chu had told His Majesty?
Zhao Gao lightly laughed and said," Prime Minister Li, you're quite bold. In Great Qin, deceiving the emperor is a crime that requires beheading. Someone like you who is proficient in the law should know this, right?”
Zhao Gao had been jealous of Li Si for a long time.
He relied on his calligraphy skills and his proficiency in the law to become a Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate.
However, in terms of calligraphy, Li Si was better than him. In terms of law, Li Si was even better than him!
Now that he saw Li Si in trouble, how could he not step on him?
Hearing Zhao Gao's words, Li Si's face turned even paler in fear. Sweating profusely, he knelt on the ground and shouted in the direction of the palace,""Your, Your Majesty, I know my sins!”
"Prime Minister Li, His Majesty is still waiting to ask you if the wine is fragrant." Zhao Gao smiled contemptuously.”
"This humble subject, this humble subject…"
Li Si's mind raced as he thought of a way to get out of this, but in the end, he was helpless.
One careless move and the whole game would be lost!!
He unwillingly picked up the wine gourd and downed the wine in one gulp.
The strong wine entered his throat, but his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
But this show still had to continue.
Li Si fell to the ground in fear and trepidation and bowed again." Your Majesty, this wine is too strong. I really can't take it!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rolled on the ground without making a sound.
"Prime Minister Li, your acting skills are really bad!" Zhao Gao snorted.”
No matter how strong the alcohol was, how could it make people faint after drinking it? This was not a poison that would kill them at the sight of blood!
But you could never wake a person who was pretending to be asleep.
Seeing Li Si shamelessly refusing to get up, Zhao Gao could only return to report angrily.
Seeing Zhao Gao leave, Li Si opened his eyes and sighed in grief.""I, the Prime Minister, was humiliated by a eunuch and a merchant. How hateful! How hateful!"
The fear of being exposed by Ying Zheng, the grief and indignation of being humiliated by Zhao Gao, and the damage done to his stomach by the 500 grams of alcohol that he drank in one gulp, Li Si was both anxious and furious, and a mouthful of hot blood gushed out from his chest.
Before he could even take a breath, he fell to the ground with a bang.
This time, Li Si was really stunned!
……
At the entrance of the bedroom, Zhao Gao tidied up his expression and quickly walked into the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, I have already sent the wine to Prime Minister Li.”
"Oh?" Ying Zheng put down the bamboo slips and asked. What did he say?"
" Prime Minister Li said that the wine was really fragrant," Zhao Gao said in a low voice." Then, he drank it to his heart's content. He finished the entire pot of wine and passed out.”
"Did Li Si really say that?" Ying Zheng's face turned cold.”
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty!" Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said.”
"I didn't expect Li Si to be so tactless!" Ying Zheng said coldly.”
Thinking that Li Si dared to plagiarize Chu Han's idea to deceive him, Ying Zheng was infuriated.
Hearing that Li Si showed no signs of repentance, Ying Zheng was even angrier.
However, when he thought of Li Si's decades of assistance, Ying Zheng's heart softened again. He sighed lightly, waved his hand and said,""Get the imperial chef to make a bowl of hangover soup and send it to the Li residence. When he sobers up, summon him to an audience.”
This was the way of an emperor who used both kindness and power.
Zhao Gao's heart was filled with disappointment, but he still smiled and cupped his hands,""This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
