Late at night, in the military tent at the top of Mount Tai.
Li Si and Zhao Gao sat opposite each other.
Zhao Gao rolled his eyes.
He looked around sneakily and hesitated to speak.
Li Si looked at Zhao Gao coldly and said slowly,"
"Stop looking. I've already dismissed the servants. No one can hear us now.”
"So, why is the Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate looking for me so late at night?”
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and said slowly,"
"Minister Li, I don't believe you don't know why I'm looking for you today.”
Of course, Li Si knew.
Because His Majesty had disappeared for a month.
A month ago, the crane brought His Majesty into the immortal sect.
Not long after, the magnificent immortal door suddenly disappeared.
If it wasn't for the fact that the hundred plus people present had witnessed the entire process of His Majesty being taken away by the immortal crane, they would have died.
They would probably think that it was just a dream…
"Oh? The Zhao Manor's Magistrate is in such a hurry to find me. Could it be that he thinks that His Majesty will definitely not return?”
Zhao Gao quickly waved his hand."
"No, no, no. I believe that His Majesty has been ordered by the heavens to live forever. He will definitely be able to return alive.”
Li Si frowned slightly."
"Then... What do you mean?"
Zhao Gao pursed his lips and slowly said,"
"Although I believe that His Majesty will definitely return, it is uncertain when His Majesty will return.”
"If Your Majesty is prepared to stay in the Immortal Realm forever, then... We have to make preparations in advance.”
Li Si's pupils constricted as he asked softly,"
"What preparations?"
Zhao Gao leaned over and whispered into Li Si's ear,"
"Support Huhai to succeed the throne."
"What?!"
Li Si stood up abruptly, but he forcefully lowered his voice."
"You... Your idea is very dangerous. If it gets out, you'll be beheaded.”
Right now, Great Qin's eldest son was Fusu.
According to the eldest son inheritance system.
Even if Qin Shihuang suddenly passed away, it would be Fu Su who succeeded to the throne.
No matter what, Huhai, who was only nine years old, would not be able to inherit the throne.
Zhao Gao rolled his eyes and continued to bewitch Li Si."
"Minister Li, you are a disciple of the Legalism School and you uphold the strict rule of the country, but Fusu is a disciple of the Confucian School.”
" Minister Li should also know that Young Master Fusu has always been close to Confucianism and distant from the Dharma. If he is bewitched by the surrounding Confucians after he succeeds the throne…Then Minister Li, your status will be worrying.”
"Furthermore, Minister Li, your age…"
Li Si fell silent.
Indeed.
Zhao Gao spoke to his heart.
He was already sixty-five years old.
a man of seventy is rarely seen since ancient times.
He was still five years away from reaching the age of old.
Looking back at the first half of his life.
At first, he was just a small official in charge of documents in Shangcai, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.
He lived a comfortable life as a civil servant every day.
Until one day.
He saw the rats in the toilet looking for food.
The rat heard the sound of him going to the toilet and was scared away.
But...
They were both rats, but the rats living in the warehouse could eat freely.
Therefore, he looked at the essence through the phenomenon and finally understood a truth-the living environment determines fate.
Since then, he had made up his mind to make a name for himself.
After that, he resigned and went to Lanling County, where he learned from the great scholar Xun Zi the Art of Emperor.
After arriving in the Qin country.
He worked hard every day.
Finally, he rose from the ashes.
From a minor official in the Qin Dynasty to Lu Buwei's Prime Minister Scheeren, and finally to assisting Qin Shihuang in unifying the six countries, becoming the Prime Minister of a country.
He, Li Si, had finally fulfilled his dream.
He sat below one person and above ten thousand people.
After struggling for half his life, he had just become the Prime Minister.
He was unwilling to give up the power in his hands.
After pondering for a long time, Li Si took a deep breath and said,"
"Your Majesty is the cornerstone of the Great Qin Dynasty. The sudden phenomenon on the day of the Pilgrimage Ceremony shows that Your Majesty is a person with deep fortune. Therefore, the Zhao Manor's order should not mention this matter again.”
"Haha…"
Zhao Gao coldly smiled and left.
He knew that Li Si was worried and fearful!
After all, His Majesty had only disappeared for a month, and his authority was still there.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
He did not look for Li Si to convince him with just a few words.
His goal was to plant a seed of worry in Li Si's heart.
After another ten days or half a month, things would no longer be able to be suppressed.
Li Si would naturally reconsider what he said.
That was because he knew that Li Si was a person who was greedy for power.
He had spent half his life to sit in the position of Prime Minister.
He would never give up so easily.
Absolutely not!
"Hu…"
After Zhao Gao left, Li Si sat on the ground weakly.
His eyes were filled with worry for the future.
Time flew by.
At this moment, one and a half months had passed since Ying Zheng had entered the immortal sect.
In this month and a half.
Wang Jian, Feng Quji, and the others had recruited tens of thousands of soldiers.
He wanted to build a 300-meter-tall platform on the top of Mount Tai.
Although the immortal sect had already disappeared.
However, everyone still remembered the location of the immortal gate.
They wanted to use this platform to climb to the vicinity of the immortal gate.
Take a good look and see if that immortal door really disappeared or if it was just hidden in the clouds and not seen by others.
"Marquis Wucheng, do you think His Majesty will return?”
Li Si stood beside Wang Jian and asked indirectly.
Wang Jian glared at him and snorted coldly,"
"His Majesty will definitely return. However, I advise Minister Li to quickly put away your crooked thoughts, otherwise... It wouldn't be good if he ended up losing his reputation in his later years.”
Wang Jian was not afraid of Li Si.
As the War God of the Great Qin Empire, he had made great contributions in the war when Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms.
Later, due to his outstanding achievements, he was granted the title of Taishi and granted the title of Marquis Wucheng.
At the same time, he also knew how to judge the situation and retreat bravely at the peak.
Therefore, he spent most of his time at home.
If it wasn't for Ying Zheng's forceful request for him to participate in the Pilgrimage Ceremony, and for him, the War God of Great Qin, to be a witness of history, he would have been able to witness the event.
He might still be at home with his wife and children.
Li Si waved his hand awkwardly and said,"
"Marquis Wucheng, you worry too much.”
Then, Li Si turned around and left.
