Of course, Zhao Gao knew that he was dancing on the edge of a knife.
The slightest carelessness would result in the death penalty of treason.
However, he had his reasons.
Perhaps, at first glance, he, Zhao Gao, had a high position and power, and could speak everywhere.
but...
After all, he was only Qin Shihuang's inner servant.
If Qin Shihuang was still alive, then he would naturally be able to use Qin Shihuang's authority to tyrannize everywhere.
However, the fate of Qin Shihuang was unknown.
He had to prepare a backup plan for himself.
Zhao Gao stared at Li Si with a burning gaze.
"Minister Li, this second step requires your full cooperation.”
Li Si frowned slightly and asked in confusion,"
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Gao analyzed for Li Si,"
"What is needed to pass on a fake imperial edict is an imperial edict with the imperial seal of His Majesty and a person with enough power to suppress those who have objections.”
"As for me, as the commander of the Zhongche Prefecture who manages the imperial seal, His Majesty's imperial seal is naturally with me. Therefore, I have the ability to forge an imperial edict.”
"However, for the next matter, I will need you, Minister Li.”
Li Si narrowed his eyes and sized Zhao Gao up."
"So, you want me to help you suppress those officials in Xianyang Palace who have objections?”
Zhao Gao nodded heavily.
"That's right, as long as Minister Li can suppress those voices of dissent.”
"Then, when Young Master Huhai ascends the throne, we can begin the third step.”
Zhao Gao's eyes revealed a trace of fierceness.
Li Si looked at the fierce Zhao Gao and took a deep breath.
"The third step? What is it?"
Zhao Gao gave Li Si a cruel smile and made a throat-cutting gesture.
In the end, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth,"
"Kill them!"
Boom!
Li Si's heart was in turmoil.
He was so frightened by Zhao Gao that he took three steps back.
However, Li Si was not a kind person.
He had risen from a lowly existence to the current prime minister of a country.
During these 65 years.
His hands were already stained with the blood of his political enemies.
Even my brother Han Feizi…
It was also because of him that he died tragically in prison.
Therefore, Li Si, who had recovered, looked at Zhao Gao with admiration."
"It seems that the Zhao Manor has already begun preparations.”
Zhao Gao laughed mockingly,"
"Hehe, Minister Li must be joking. I'm different from Minister Li. I'm only His Majesty's inner servant. I seem to have great authority, but I exist by depending on His Majesty.”
"Now that His Majesty's life and death are unknown, a petty official like me can only find another way out.”
Li Si ignored Zhao Gao's words and said,"
"If there's nothing urgent, let's perfect this plan tonight.”
Zhao Gao's eyes lit up.
"With Minister Li's help, it's like adding wings to a tiger.”
Just like that.
The two of them talked through the night.
Slowly, the two of them exchanged questions and answers.
Just like that, a perfect plan that could make the two of them sway the entire court was born.
Time is fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
In this half a month.
Wang Jian, Feng Quji, and the others continued to send soldiers to build the high platform.
They wanted to reach the original location of the immortal gate through the high platform.
As for Li Si and Zhao Gao…
The two of them had used all of their skills and had successfully won over more than half of Great Qin's officials.
now
Everything was ready except for the east wind.
......
At this moment.
In the largest military tent on the summit of Mount Tai.
All the officials of the Great Qin Empire sat together.
Li Si stood up first."
"Everyone, please allow me to say something."
"Your Majesty has already entered the immortal sect for two months. We naturally think that Your Majesty is safe and sound now.”
"However, with His Majesty's departure, the remaining members of the Six Nations have started to show themselves. We can't sit by and watch Great Qin's internal strife.”
"Otherwise, even if His Majesty returns from the Immortal Land, he will blame us for not guarding the country well.”
"As such, I suggest that we split into two groups. One group will stay on Mount Tai and wait for His Majesty's return, while the other group will return to Xianyang to stabilize the Great Qin Dynasty.”
Zhao Gao looked at the slightly silent tent and echoed loudly,"
"Minister Li is right, I agree.”
Immediately after.
"I also agree."
"I agree."
"Minister Li is right."
“......”
A moment later, most of the officials in the tent agreed with Li Si's plan.
Wang Jian and the others looked at each other when they heard Li Si's words.
They did not object.
Li Si's words had placed him on the moral high ground.
They couldn't find any reason to object.
Moreover…
Most of the officials in the military tent agreed with Li Si's plan.
In that case, they had even less reason to object.
However, Wang Ben had his own opinion on Li Si's proposal.
"Prime Minister Li, who do you think should stay on Mount Tai and wait for His Majesty's return? Who should return to Xianyang to suppress the chaos of the six kingdoms?”
Alright, the crucial part was coming.
Li Si took a deep breath and said slowly,"
"I think that the person who guards Mount Tai must be highly respected and famous. After all, it is not a small matter to receive the return of His Majesty.”
"Thus, I thought that the Right Prime Minister and Marquis Wu Cheng were the best choices.”
Flattery would not wear down.
Li Si first praised Feng Quji and Wang Jian.
The goal…Naturally, he hoped that by raising their status, these two people with high status and power would stay on Mount Tai.
Because…
If Feng Quji chose to stay on Mount Tai.
In that case, Feng Quji's civil officials would naturally stay behind with him.
If Wang Jian chose to stay on Mount Tai.
As for Wang Jian's military officers and his son, Wang Ben, they were the same.
He would definitely choose to stay on Mount Tai with Wang Jian.
