The Prime Minister's Estate.
After Li Si received Ying Zheng's order, he was deeply worried.
He didn't believe in immortals.
However…
His Majesty the Emperor had already made his decision, and the Emperor's orders could not be disobeyed.
At this moment, the door creaked open.
A man around the age of seventeen or eighteen walked in.
"Father, why are you so worried that you can't sleep late at night?”
The man was gentle and refined, and he had an extraordinary bearing. He was none other than Li Si's son, Li You.
"Sigh!"
Li Si sighed heavily.
"I'm sure you've heard about His Majesty making an unknown man, Lu Xuan, a Divine Immortal Marquis.”
Li You nodded." I've heard about it. Is Father worried about it?"”
"That's right!" Li Si sighed." This person actually flirted with Young Master Si Ming on the streets today. Not only did he take off her veil, he even kissed her face."”
"Such dissolute behavior, how is it different from a local ruffian?”
"According to the laws of Great Qin, he should be removed from his position as a Marquis and become a commoner, never to be hired again.”
Great Qin's laws were very strict.
Such a thing was already considered a serious crime.
"But he's not just that."
Li Si was furious." Then, he snatched the princess into the manor on the streets. This is unheard of."”
"Not only did His Majesty not sentence him to prison, but he even wanted to hold a banquet in Wangyi Palace to entertain him. He even wanted all the civil and military officials and young masters to accompany him.”
"Could it be that Your Majesty really wants him to lead thousands of troops to the Xiongnu? This is too ridiculous."
The more Li Si spoke, the angrier and more worried he became.
His Majesty was superstitious about immortals and had almost gone mad.
As the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire, he should have advised the Emperor.
However, His Majesty had always been arbitrary and would not listen to him when it came to immortals.
If he were to rashly remonstrate, he would probably anger His Majesty instead.
However, ordinary things were fine.
How could such a military matter be small?
"So father is troubled by this matter.”
Li You's expression changed at first, but he soon regained his composure. He shook his head with a smile and said,"In my opinion, father doesn't have to be so worried.”
Oh?
Li Si looked at Li You in confusion.
"Regardless of whether he is the disciple of an Immortal or not, just based on the fact that he dared to go to court alone and propose marriage to Great Qin in front of all the civil and military officials, who in the world can compare to him?”
"Even if such a person is not an Immortal's disciple, his abilities are far from what mortals can compare to.”
"If he didn't have the confidence, he wouldn't have recklessly attacked the army.”
That's right!
Her words woke him up from his dream.
If Lu Xuan was really a swindler.
He had already obtained the title of Divine Immortal Marquis and was about to become the son-in-law of the Emperor, marrying Great Qin's most beautiful princess.
At this time, he should be thinking about how to protect himself.
Leading an army to attack the Xiongnu was not only exhausting, but also extremely risky.
Once he was defeated, his head would fall to the ground.
Under normal circumstances, he should have avoided it as much as possible.
Unless he really had the confidence to defeat the Xiongnu.
"What you said makes sense!"
Li Si nodded gently and looked at his son approvingly.
Li You's eyes shone brightly.
He spoke calmly, but his hands were already tightly clenched.
"Lu Xuan, how dare you snatch the Seventh Princess away. I will make sure you die a horrible death.”Li You roared crazily in his heart.
He was the son of the Prime Minister, so it turned out that he was the one most likely to marry the Seventh Princess.
The Seventh Princess was known as the number one beauty of the Great Qin Empire. How could Li You not have any thoughts about her?
However, no one expected Lu Xuan to appear out of nowhere.
How could he not hate?
However, although Li You was young, he was very shrewd.
The more this was the case, the more he did not dare to underestimate Lu Xuan.
However, in his heart, he had long regarded Lu Xuan as his mortal enemy.
He was just waiting for an opportunity to give him another lightning strike.
If he really led the army to attack the Xiongnu, it would be an opportunity.
Once defeated…
Li You's heart was burning with jealousy.
He no longer cared about the Empire's interests.
……
……
……
"Three days later, the Wangyi Palace will hold a banquet?”
When Zhao Gao heard this news, his expression changed again and again.
"Wangyi Palace?"
He muttered softly to himself.
Wangyi Palace was built by the First Emperor to look at the Xiongnu.
The platform of the palace was extremely high. Standing on it, one could see very far into the north.
Wangyi was the Xiongnu in the north.
"His Majesty is holding a banquet in Wangyi Palace. Could it be that he wants to go on an expedition to the Xiongnu?”
Zhao Gao was deep in thought.
"If that's the case, then His Majesty is prepared to put Lu Xuan in an important position.”
Although the name Divine Immortal Marquis sounded nice, it was only a title and did not confer any real power.
However, if Lu Xuan led an expedition against the Xiongnu, he would have thousands of troops in his hands.
If that was the case, Lu Xuan would have a pivotal position in the imperial court.
"Teacher!"
" I heard that Big Brother went to the Orchid Pool Palace today," the Eighteenth Young Master Huhai said." I think he's trying to rope Lu Xuan in."”
"The relationship between him and Seventh Sister has always been very good. If Seventh Sister marries Lu Xuan, I'm afraid that Lu Xuan will fall for him.”
