Li Si's body trembled. He knew that the moment of life and death was coming.
"Your Majesty, altering the posthumous edict is indeed a crime of deceiving the emperor and should be executed.”
"But everything I do is for Your Majesty and for Great Qin!!”
"Young Master Fusu is benevolent. He will definitely promote Confucianism when he succeeds the throne. He will respect the sages and enfeoffment. This is what I don't want to see.”
"Great Qin has invested a lot of effort into this old official, and it is absolutely unwilling to see those people fishing for fame enter the Imperial Court. It also does not want to change the country's policy of enfeoffment.”
"I admit that I have my own selfish motives for altering the posthumous edict. I don't want to abdicate just like that. I don't want Great Qin's legal system to become Confucian.”
"This subject is a Legalist disciple, so I naturally prefer Young Master Huhai, who studies laws.”
"But I really didn't know that Young Master Huhai would be so irrational!!”
"Your Majesty, everything I've done is for the sake of Great Qin and to protect Great Qin for generations to come!!”
"Your Majesty, as you can see, I'm offering advice for Great Qin on the screen. Even in prison, I'm thinking about Great Qin before I die.”
"If it wasn't for the fact that I'm worried about Great Qin, I could completely ignore the problems of the country and just sit back and watch.”
"But I didn't!"
"I still pointed out the various problems of the Great Qin Empire. This is the job of a Prime Minister. Even if Zhao Gao hated me, even if Young Master Huhai hated me, I did not retreat.”
"I swear that everything I do is for the sake of the Great Qin Empire!!!”
"I know that my crimes are unforgivable. I only hope that after my death, Your Majesty will not harm my descendants and leave me a bloodline!!”
Then, Li Si did not hesitate to slam into the two-meter-thick copper pillar beside him.
"Bang!"
Li Si fell to the ground, blood covering his pale hair.
Everything happened too quickly. Before anyone in the imperial court could react, Li Si had already crashed into the copper pillar.
The First Emperor looked at the white-haired Li Si and was speechless.
Imperial Physician Xia Wuqi rushed forward and examined Li Si's symptoms. He bowed and said,"
"Your Majesty, he's still breathing. I think the Left Prime Minister is old and weak, and doesn't have enough strength to commit suicide.”
In an instant, all the officials looked at the First Emperor.
If he was still breathing, he could still be saved.
The key was whether the First Emperor was willing to save him.
If he saved her, it meant that Li Si could keep his life, but he would probably not be able to become an official.
If he didn't save her…
Ying Zheng stared at Li Si in a daze.
The first time he met Li Si, he was only twenty years old, and Li Si was only in his thirties. At that time, Lu Buwei was still in power.
But now, Li Si's hair was all white.
Thinking back to all these years, Li Si had worked tirelessly for Great Qin.
After his death, he also tried his best to assist Huhai.
In the end, he was ordered by Huhai to be beheaded in the city.
Li Si must have been in despair then, right?
Looking at the First Emperor, the Right Prime Minister hesitated for a moment before sticking his body out.
No matter what, the two of them had " died " together, so it was still possible for them to try to save Li Si by saying some good things.
However…it depended on how he said it.
If he said it well, he could save her, but if it wasn't good, he might get involved.
" Your Majesty, Li Si's crime is indeed unforgivable, but he has already died once on the screen. Moreover, even if he wants to die, he must be ordered by Your Majesty. Suicide like this will damage the dignity of the royal court.”
"Why don't we save Li Si first, and then His Majesty will order the chief justice to execute him?”
Ying Zheng woke up and twitched his mouth.
Save him?
And then order the execution?
He couldn't do such a thing.
In the court, some of the officials were shocked and muttered in their hearts,
In terms of ruthlessness, the Right Prime Minister was the most ruthless. Why didn't he look so vicious normally? He had already been cut in half once and now he had knocked his head against a pillar and fainted. Yet, he still wanted to wake him up and kill him again.
Vicious!
Extremely vicious!
At this moment, Imperial Censor Feng Jie's eyes lit up. He bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, Li Si lied to the Emperor and is unforgivable. He can't die so easily.”
"This subject requests that we first save Li Si and then dismember him with Zhao Gao in Xianyang City and wipe out the three clans!”
Many officials were dumbfounded and looked at Feng Jie with a strange expression.
Good fellow, you are even more ruthless.
Your father's suggestion to kill Li Si again was already ruthless enough, but you still wanted to tear Li Si's five horses into pieces and kill his three clans.
Li Si had already experienced being cut at the waist once, yet he still wanted him to experience being torn apart by five horses. How much hatred did he have!
No matter what, you guys died together.
Only a few people revealed thoughtful expressions.
Retreat to advance!
To be reborn after death!
Only in this way could the First Emperor's guilt be aroused, and he could grasp the last chance of survival.
As expected, the First Emperor snorted coldly and glanced at the two of them. He waved his hand and ordered,
"Save Li Si and throw him in jail!”
Immediately, several attendants came to the outside of the hall under Xia Wuqi's command.
The ministers immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
They knew that Li Si had survived!
If he did not die today, it meant that His Majesty no longer had the intention to kill Li Si.
In fact, although the history books recorded that the Qin Emperor was tyrannical.
However, in real history, he had never killed a single official.
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe, Wei Liaozi, Wang Wan, Gui Zhuang, Meng Wu, and the rest of the officials were not killed by Qin Shihuang.
Even though Han Feizi was locked up in prison, Ying Zheng had no intention of killing Han Feizi. Instead, he handed over the case to the court to be dealt with. It was Li Si who forced Han Feizi to die by sending poisoned wine.
When he was in prison, Ying Zheng had regretted it and ordered Han Feizi to be pardoned, but by then, Han Feizi had already been poisoned to death.
The death of a cunning rabbit and the cooking of a lackey did not happen during the Qin Emperor's time.
Then, Ying Zheng looked at Zong Zheng and Ying Yuan.
"Order, demote Hu Hai to a commoner, forbid him from attending court ceremonies, and forbid him from leaving Xianyang.”
The ministers looked at each other and said in unison,
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing the scene on the screen, none of the officials would allow Huhai to succeed the throne.
Not only for the sake of the Great Qin Empire, but even for the sake of his own head, he couldn't let Huhai succeed the throne.
In fact, the First Emperor had already given up on the idea of Huhai inheriting the throne.
He absolutely could not allow the Great Qin that he had personally created to die in two generations!
To put it bluntly, even if a pig was placed in this position.
It was impossible for the country to be destroyed in three years!
Huhai had actually caused the country to fall within three years. He was worse than a pig!
