In Qin Shi Huang's bedroom, the palace guard who had been knocked down by Qing Yi had already retreated to the back hall, waiting for Ying Che's punishment.
Zhao Gao was brought back to Ying Che's residence by Qing Yi.
In the bedchamber, besides Ying Che who was standing with his hands behind his back, there was also Hei Kai who was lying in a corner.
As the information gathered in Li Si's mind, his heart sank.
The fact that the guards were missing meant that the palace guards would not stop the Thirteenth Young Master.
Li Si recognized Black Armor, who was in the corner. He was Zhao Gao's most powerful assassin, and he could clean up all the guests and aides in Li Si's mansion by himself.
Back then, it was under the coercion of Black Armor that Li Si was forced to board Zhao Gao's pirate ship.
Now, such a powerful person was lying on the ground without any signs of fighting. His armor was neat and tidy, and the famous sword in his hand was broken into three pieces.
It could be seen that the person who attacked should be far above him.
In addition, Zhao Gao had been silent until now, and the Thirteenth Young Master's maid, Qing Yi, had disappeared.
Li Si could already guess that Zhao Gao had been defeated and had confessed.
Therefore, under Ying Che's shout, he no longer had any hope and knelt on the spot.
His heart was filled with regret.
His own life was definitely gone, but if his Li Clan and the other two clans were destroyed because of his mistake, he would have no face to face his family even if he went to the netherworld.
"Li Si, now that the traitor Zhao Gao has pleaded guilty, do you have anything else to say?”
"I plead guilty."”
"This subject and Zhao Gao tampered with the posthumous edict without permission. It is indeed a great crime of treason. This subject deserves ten thousand deaths, but Young Master, please listen to this subject.”
"Zhao Gao tampered with the posthumous edict and supported Young Master Huhai to ascend the throne for his own selfish power.”
"But I am different."
"This subject is indeed thinking for the sake of the Great Qin Empire.”
"Young Master Fusu has no talent and wants to re-establish the enfeoffment system. If he ascends the throne, he will destroy the unification of our Qin country. This subject is doing this for the continuation of Great Qin!”
"Since young master has the ability to take down Zhao Gao, young master must be a powerful person.”
At the brink of death, Li Si had indeed spoken his mind. He did not ask for self-preservation, but only for the Li family to leave behind a legacy.
Ying Che slowly turned around and looked down at Li Si."
"Hmph, short-sighted. You only think of one thing and don't know the other. You, the Prime Minister, are only so-so.”
Li Si raised his head and felt extremely indignant. It was fine to say that he was guilty, but he was useless and unworthy of being the Prime Minister. He had made so many contributions to Great Qin, so how could an ignorant and incompetent young master deny it with a single sentence?
"What's wrong? Are you not convinced?"
"Let me ask you, if that trash Huhai takes over, who will be in charge of Great Qin? Zhao Gao or you?"
Li Si was shocked and speechless. He thought to himself, I'm afraid I can't beat Zhao Gao.
"Let me ask you again. When that despicable Zhao Gao really takes power, as the only person who knows about his usurpation of the throne, what will happen to you?”
Li Si was shocked again and his heart turned cold. How could Zhao Gao let him live?
"Third, you keep saying that it's for Great Qin, but with Zhao Gao's tyrannical attitude, he's crazily harvesting the people's fat. In addition, the remnants of the six countries are restless, and there are Xiongnu in the north and Baiyue in the south.”
Li Si's face was filled with despair and his eyes dimmed. He no longer had the heart to argue.
The Thirteenth Young Master was right; even if Great Qin did not fall into Fu Su's hands, it would still fall into Huhai and Zhao Gao's hands.
Now that Great Qin was facing internal and external problems, if Zhao Gao became a traitor, no one would be able to save Great Qin.
Unless Great Qin had a great talent that could turn the tide!
Suddenly, Li Si seemed to have thought of something.
His heart was beating wildly. He raised his head and looked at the Thirteenth Young Master as if he wanted to see through him from inside out.
Turn the tide! Turn the tide!
If Great Qin needed someone to turn the tide, then the Thirteenth Young Master was the one doing it!
Li Si's eyes lit up. There was still hope for Great Qin!
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said anxiously,
"Young Master! Hurry!"
"Quickly send someone to the north of the city to stop the team escorting the posthumous edict!”
"If Young Master Fusu and General Meng Tian really commit suicide as ordered by the posthumous edict, the northern border of the Great Qin Empire will collapse!!”
Seeing that Ying Che did not move and was even looking at him with interest, Li Si was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Young Master, it's still not too late to leave the city now. If we're a step later, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up!”
Li Si was sweating profusely.
Ying Che smiled and looked at Li Si playfully for a while before saying,"
"You can't even protect yourself, and the three races are about to be wiped out, but you still think for Great Qin. It seems that Prime Minister Li truly loves Great Qin. It was just that his talent was average and he was not rich in name.”
"Humph!"
"Purple Dress, come over."
Da da da da…
Footsteps could be heard as a beautiful woman in purple walked over. She took out a long yellow wooden box and handed it to Ying Che with both hands.
Ying Che opened the wooden box and took out the yellow silk posthumous edict. He unfolded it and the words inside slowly appeared.
Boom!
At that moment, the space in front of Li Si seemed to have frozen. Only the familiar words on the posthumous edict slowly appeared until the jade seal finally appeared.
When he saw this, Li Si's anxious expression froze. He was dumbfounded.
This was…
Isn't this the fake posthumous edict that Zhao Gao and I drafted?!!
Li Si raised his head stiffly and looked at Ying Che with wide eyes, his eyes filled with horror!
He squeezed it out with difficulty from his throat. Young Master, this... How did this posthumous edict end up in your hands?"
Li Si had unknowingly used honorifics. It was as if the Thirteenth Young Master had the ability to foresee things, and he could control Great Qin with a flip of his hand.
Ying Che didn't explain and only said,"
"Why, Prime Minister Li, do you admit defeat now?”
"This subject is convinced."
"This young master has no official position, so how can I be worthy of meeting you, the pillar of the Great Qin Empire?”He emphasized the word "you".
"I'm not worthy! I was wrong. Young Master is a great talent and Great Qin's true savior. This subject is ignorant and short-sighted, and I am not even a tenth of Young Master's! Great Qin has Young Master here, so I can set off with ease!”
Li Si looked at Ying Che with great respect, and as he spoke, his expression relaxed. Great Qin could be saved, and he could die in peace.
After saying that, he stood up and slammed into the pillar beside him.
Bang!
The intense pain that he had imagined did not come. Instead, he felt a little soft.
Li Si looked up and was stunned when he saw the single plain shoe in front of him.
Purple Dress retracted her leg with a look of disdain.
"Did I let you die?"
Ying Che's words confused Li Si again.
