The people on the Black Ice Platform had received the order to keep a close eye on Zhao Gao and the people who were in contact with him. Meanwhile, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was trying to figure out the paper-making technique on his bed. He had thought that the paper making technique was very useful and important, but now, after seeing it for himself, he felt that it was really worth it!!
The main thing was that the cost of this thing was really low!!
The required raw materials were extremely cheap, and the production method was not difficult. It was easy to mass produce. When they were in the space, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was filled with anger and did not think much about it. But now that he had calmed down, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had thought of an even greater use!! If he could make good use of this, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy would no longer be a problem for Great Qin!!
It was not impossible for him to take it for his own use!! However, he still needed to plan more!!
Wang Jian, Meng Tian, and the others came out of the space and woke up. Because of the information they obtained in the space, they were now filled with hatred and anger towards the culprit who caused the death of the second emperor of Great Qin, Zhao Gao!!
The people from the Prince's and Meng's residences were all very puzzled. Why did their lord's expression look so ugly when he woke up?! That killing intent could not be concealed at all! This morning, everyone was trembling with fear.
Meng Manor.
Meng Yi looked at his big brother, who had an especially ugly expression when he woke up. He asked in puzzlement,"Big Brother, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
"Is it ugly?" Meng Tian saw her brother looking at her worriedly, so she restrained herself a little and asked.
Meng Yi nodded, indicating that it was indeed ugly.
Meng Tian took a deep breath, then put on a stiff smile and said,""I'm fine. Don't worry."
However, Meng Tian's expression did not look like she was fine. However, Meng Yi understood his big brother. If he didn't want to tell him, it would be useless no matter how he asked. In the end, he could only stop asking.
The Imperial Residence.
Wang Jian was furious when he woke up early this morning, and Wang Ben, Wang Li, and the others were all dumbfounded. They wondered what had happened to their father and grandfather.! Why was he so angry early in the morning? Looking at his expression, if one didn't know better, one would think that he was going to chop someone up!!
It had to be said that sometimes the intuition of a straightforward person like a general was very accurate. Wang Jian really wanted to chop someone up, and this person was specifically-Zhao Gao.
However, he also knew that the only one who could deal with Zhao Gao was Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng. He did not have the right to do so, so he had to suppress his anger!!
Because Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, had told them to enter the palace before he left the space, even though there was no need for morning court today, the four of them still entered the palace early.
Qilin Palace.
At this time, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng had already finished washing up and was reading the memorials in the Qilin Palace. After all, not having to attend the morning court session did not mean not having to read the memorials. The emperor was a social animal who worked 360 days a year, woke up earlier than a chicken, and slept later than a dog. Since ancient times, those who could do well in this profession were not ordinary people!!
They were all big shots! Vicious. He was ruthless to others, but he was even more ruthless to himself!!
In the past, Zhao Gao, as the most trusted eunuch and chamberlain of the First Emperor of Qin, could see that annoying face every time he came. However, he had not seen her today. Presumably, His Majesty would not let go of that slave who betrayed his master!! Perhaps it had already been dealt with. After all, the First Emperor would never tolerate having a traitor under his command!!
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Wei Liaozi, and Li Si had met each other in the palace, so they came over.
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, said,""Get up and do it."
After the four of them sat down, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng said,""Li Si, Zhao Gaogun gave him thirty strokes of the cane, and he won't end up well. Then, how do you think I should punish you?!”
Although it was a question, as if asking for Li Si's opinion, only Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, would know the truth.
Upon hearing Qin Shihuang's words, Li Si quickly kneeled on the ground and said,""Your Majesty, I know that I will make a big mistake in the future. However, everyone has the instinct to survive, and I am no exception. I do like power and fear death, so I shamelessly beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to live.”
Li Si's words were brilliant. Firstly, he had pointed out the mistake in the future and it had not happened yet. Secondly, he pointed out the human instinct and his own nature to show that what he did in the future was a desire to survive.
With this, he would fight for a chance to live!!
Li Si had some understanding of the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng. He was a magnanimous emperor. He had always been very tolerant towards those who had made contributions, those who were loyal to the Great Qin, and those who had their own talents.
How could the future not be mentioned? Right now, Li Si could be said to be a person who perfectly fit the three descriptions. What Li Si needed to do now was to make use of this mentality to save his own life. He knew that under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to gain the trust of Emperor Qin and Ying Zheng, and he could not keep his power. However, if he could do it well, he could still live a peaceful life in his later years!!
As expected, after hearing Li Si's words, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng said,""Minister Li is indeed eloquent, but this is not enough. Li Si, give me a reason not to kill you.”
Li Si knew that there was a chance when he heard Qin Shihuang's words, and he had to work harder. "Your Majesty, I know that I am no longer trusted because of the future, but I still have some confidence in my talent.”
"Right now, Great Qin is in need of manpower, and a living Li Si is more valuable than a dead Li Si. Moreover, compared to an unknown existence, wasn't the known easier to control?! Not to mention, with His Majesty around, I can't do anything, right?!”
After Li Si finished speaking, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng smiled and said,""Hahaha... You're right. As long as I'm here, no one can overturn the heavens!”
"I naturally know of Minister Li's abilities. This ability is useful to Great Qin, so I naturally want to keep it. However,"
"You said it yourself. You will commit a heinous crime in the future. Even if you didn't do it now, the punishment won't be light.”
Li Si knew that his life was saved. As for the punishment, it would be good enough if he could keep his life. He would leave it to fate.
"I will listen to Your Majesty's arrangements."”
"Very good." After Xiao He comes, he will follow you. Take good care of him. In three years, he will take over your position. As for what happens to you after this, it all depends on Minister Li's performance.”
"Here."
Li Si did not have any objections. After all, he already knew that he would not be able to keep his position as Prime Minister. It was also expected that he would hand it over to Xiao He.
" Also, when I pass away, Minister Li Aiqing will be buried with me in the name of following my master," Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng continued.”
Although he knew that the future Li Si would no longer pose a threat to him, he was still furious about Li Si's betrayal in history.
As soon as Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng said this, Li Si was stunned for a moment before he said,""I, Li Si, will always follow the First Emperor.”
Li Si's words meant that he had agreed. In fact, Li Si had no choice. After all, Qin Shihuang had made up his mind, so he had to agree even if he did not want to!!
He also understood that although Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was a magnanimous emperor, he was also very petty to a certain extent, especially when it came to traitors!!
Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, would never forget his betrayal. He was not going to punish him now because he was still useful and had to be kept. However, in the future, he would not be of much use when he was old, so he could…Go to hell!
What a reasonable plan! Make the best use of everything!
However, he had no right to refute. Who asked him to do something wrong in the future?! To be able to live another ten or twenty years is also His Majesty's mercy!!
What else was there to be unsatisfied about?
