"Pa!"
Li Si slapped the table hard.
"This Old Man Wang actually doesn't know what's good for him.”
Opposite him, Zhao Gao was kneeling in front of the table and said calmly.
"Minister Li, don't be angry. Wang Jian is old after all, so it's normal that he doesn't dare to take this risk.”
"His Majesty has not appeared for a month and a half. Minister Li, have you considered my proposal?”
Li Si slowly calmed down and looked at Zhao Gao coldly."
"If I remember correctly, His Majesty has more than ten sons, right? Gongzi Gao and Gongzi Jianglu are even older than Huhai. Why should I support Huhai, who is only nine years old, with you?”
Zhao Gao didn't show any worry on his face."
"Fusu is already twenty-two years old, and Gongzi Jianglu and Gongzi Gao have also reached the age of adulthood. Minister Li, how much power do you think you have left after they ascend the throne?”
"Only Huhai, who is only nine years old, thinks that it is easier to control a nine-year-old child or a twenty-year-old young master.”
Zhao Gao revealed his intentions.
He was no longer satisfied with being the emperor's chamberlain.
He wanted to take another step forward.
The Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate?
It was just that the name sounded nice.
In fact, he was just a small official who managed the emperor's carriage and jade seal.
If not for Ying Zheng's authority, he would have been able to do so.
Zhao Gao probably didn't even have the right to chat with Li Si.
Li Si was already tempted.
Otherwise, he would not have gone to probe Wang Jian's intentions earlier.
Although Wang Jian had already retreated bravely, disarmed and returned to the fields.
However, the Wang family was not simple at all.
Wang Jian himself was conferred the title of Marquis Wucheng.
His son, Wang Ben, was conferred the title of Marquis Tongwu.
Although his grandson, Wang Li, did not have the same achievements as his father and grandfather, he still inherited the title of Marquis Wucheng.
It could be said that if Li Si could take down the Wang family, it would be equivalent to taking down half of Great Qin's military officials.
The remaining Meng Tian and Meng Yi were not worth mentioning.
However...
It was obvious that Wang Jian was not willing to join forces with Li Si.
What he said earlier was a warning to Li Si not to have any ill intentions.
At this time, Zhao Gao struck while the iron was hot and said,"
"Prime Minister Li, if we can help Huhai succeed the throne, then we will have one Left Prime Minister and one Right Prime Minister. Furthermore, Prime Minister Li, you will be the Right Prime Minister.”
In the Qin Dynasty, the right side was respected.
Li Si was the left prime minister, and the right prime minister was Feng Quji.
Therefore, Feng Quji was respected by Li Si.
Li Si's heart was in turmoil.
He was tempted.
However, his sixty years of experience had calmed him down.
"You, why are you looking for me?"
Zhao Gao said slowly,"
"Minister Li, you should understand that the disappearance of His Majesty is a huge matter. If we're not careful, Great Qin will fall apart again.”
"There are only four factions participating in this ceremony.”
"You, me, Wang Jian, and Right Prime Minister Feng.”
" Wang Jian is a smart person. He never takes sides. As for Prime Minister Feng, he is a straightforward and pedantic person. He will definitely not agree to support Huhai. After all, Fusu is the eldest son, so…"
Li Si continued.
"So you came to me?"
"Haha, Minister Li, don't ask the obvious.”
Li Si slowly stood up and walked around the tent.
After confirming that there was no one else around, he sat down and continued,
"Zhao Manor Order, tell me your plan.”
The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth curled up crazily.
He knew that this matter had succeeded.
He subconsciously glanced around before whispering into Li Si's ear,"
"My plan has three steps."
Li Si narrowed his eyes and steeled his heart."
"Which three steps? I'd like to hear the details."
Zhao Gao whispered,
"The first step is to return to court."
"We will lead our people back to Xianyang. As for the Wang Clan and Right Minister Feng, we will let them stay here and wait for His Majesty's return.”?
Li Si could roughly guess what Zhao Gao was thinking.
"Then what excuse are you going to use to return to Xianyang?”
Zhao Gao was clearly prepared.
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. After all, His Majesty is not around, and the remnants of the six countries have not been eliminated. We still need to guard the country for His Majesty to prevent the remnants of the six countries from causing chaos.”
Li Si's pupils constricted.
He knew that this excuse was perfect.
Right from the start, he occupied the moral high ground.
Wang Jian, Feng Quji, and the rest absolutely could not find a point to refute.
Or rather…They had no way to refute.
Xianyang also needed someone to go back and guard it.
At the very least, this excuse was almost perfect before His Majesty appeared.
The only thing he needed to consider was how to make Wang Jian and Feng Quji stay on Mount Tai.
Zhao Gao seemed to have noticed Li Si's doubts."
"Minister Li, are you worried that the Wang Clan and Right Minister Feng will follow you back to Xianyang?”
"Don't worry, with the personalities of Feng Youxian and Wang Jian's family, they will definitely stay here and wait for His Majesty to return.”
"As long as they don't go back to Xianyang, then we can have some room to maneuver.”
Li Si nodded and gestured for her to continue.
Zhao Gao continued,"
"The next step is to pass on the fake imperial edict.”
Li Si's breathing became heavy.
Even if Ying Zheng had discovered what he had done before, he would not be able to do it.
He could also return to Xianyang with the excuse of thinking about the safety of the country.
Then, if this matter was done…
Not to mention that he was the Prime Minister, even if he was Ying Zheng's son, he would probably be dragged out and executed by a thousand cuts after Ying Zheng came back and found out that he had faked the imperial edict…
Li Si said with a trembling voice,"
"You... Continue…"
