In this era, reputation was highly valued.
As the Prime Minister of Great Qin, Li Si had made many great contributions to Great Qin. He was confident that he would be able to enter the annals of history and become a famous Prime Minister.
If he erased the fact that he had plotted against Zhao Gao in the end.
At this moment, Li Si only wanted to smash his head against the wall and wipe away the last stain on his reputation. That was all.
However, he didn't understand why the Thirteenth Young Master didn't want him to die.
"Young Master, this subject has committed a grave sin and should be punished according to the law. Young Master, please give me some face on account of my contributions to Great Qin.”
Then, Li Si prepared to crash into the pillar again.
"You don't want to save your three clans?"
Suddenly, Ying Che's casual words stunned Li Si. It was even better than Purple Dress's little feet.
"Save our three clans?"
Li Si craned his neck and leaned against the pillar.
Ying Che's words caused his heart, which was already like dead water, to stir again.
He was the Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire and could be considered a top official, so he naturally had a family business.
For Great Qin, he was willing to die, but for his family, he had to stop.
The Li Clan's legacy could not be severed with him.
Li Si turned his head with difficulty and looked at Ying Che hopefully."
"May I ask, Young Master, what can Li Si do to save our three clans?”
"According to the law, you should be beheaded, and your three clans should also be exterminated." "However, Great Qin is currently in a period of change, and I'm temporarily lacking people. If you can atone for your sins and make contributions, I can spare some of your clansmen's lives.”
Redemption?
Li Si was smart, and he immediately understood that the Thirteenth Young Master wanted to dominate Great Qin!
First, kill Zhao Gao to prevent future troubles, then take back the posthumous edict to prevent chaos in the Great Qin Dynasty, then grab my sore spot and make me work for you.
Good wrist!
" Phew." Li Si let out a long breath. He was really convinced.
Perhaps Great Qin would be able to rise again under the Thirteenth Young Master's rule.
" Yes!" Li Si kowtowed to Ying Che seriously." From today onwards, I am willing to follow Young Master's lead!"”
Ding! Congratulations to the host for subduing Left Prime Minister Li Si. The reward is 1000 catties of hybrid rice seeds, 1000 catties of potatoes, and 1000 catties of sweet potatoes.
Hearing the system notification, Ying Che smiled,""Very good."
I gave you 3,000 catties of seeds. You're very useful. It would be even better if you could give me some fertilizer next time.
He retracted his thoughts. Since Li Si had submitted, Ying Che could do more.
Hence, he secretly gave Li Si a few instructions before shooing him out.
...................................
Creak-
The bedroom door was pushed open and Li Si walked out. His clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy.
However, his face was glowing red as if he had been reborn.
There were dozens of people standing in the outer hall.
At this moment, it was as if the form teacher had just walked into the classroom. There was instantly silence.
All of them widened their eyes and stared at Li Si as if they could see flowers.
Just like that, they stared at each other for a few breaths.
Suddenly, an official who had spoken earlier shouted,
"Minister Li, why are you wasting time with that brat? Shangdang County, Julu County, and East County are all in famine, and the people are starving.”
Another person stood up." Minister Li, although the Six Nations have been destroyed, the nobles and aristocratic families of the Six Nations are occupying more and more fiefs. Now, they are recruiting more and more people. You have to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!”
"That's right, Prime Minister. His Majesty has passed away, and Young Master Fusu is still at the border of the Northern Territory. He will be gone for at least five days.”
Right Prime Minister Feng Quji was silent for a long time before he finally stood up and said,"
"Prime Minister Li, we are indeed in a dire situation. You and I should take up the great responsibility and quickly appoint a successor according to His Majesty's posthumous edict. You shouldn't waste time with the Thirteenth Young Master.”
All the officials looked at Li Si. Although Li Si was in a sorry state, he had a plan in mind after hearing Ying Che's instructions.
"Right Prime Minister is right. It's fine even if you're anxious. Now, I already have a solution.”
Now, I have a few things to announce.
"First, Zhao Gao of the Central Carriage Mansion plotted to rebel and changed the will of the First Emperor. He has been executed.”
Boom!
This sentence was like a heavy bomb, causing the entire group of ministers to explode!
" What?!"
"Zhao Gao plotted a rebellion? Tampering with the edict? How is this possible?"
"Zhao Gao was executed? His subordinates were powerful, and there were many top-notch experts. This... In this world, besides His Majesty, who could kill him?”
The ministers were all shocked. The Emperor had just left, and now there was such heavy news.
" Impossible!"
" I don't believe it!!!"
"Teacher's martial arts are so high, how could he die!!!”
A hysterical howl suddenly came from the corner.
Everyone looked over.
The few ministers around Huhai who supported Zhao Gao immediately scattered in fear.
Huhai could no longer control his emotions.
He had not even completely recovered from the great joy of knowing that he was about to succeed the throne an hour ago.
Now, he was told that his teacher Zhao Gao had been killed and that the posthumous edict was fake.
How could he accept this!
Huhai instantly went berserk. He glared at Li Si with bloodshot eyes and roared,"
"Li Si! Tell me!"
" Explain yourself!!!"
"How could my teacher forge a posthumous edict?”
"That posthumous edict clearly…"
At that moment, Li Si suddenly shouted,""Enough!"
"Young Master Huhai, you have to accept the truth. Your teacher has already pleaded guilty and was executed. I hope you won't say anything when you're provoked.”
"Otherwise, you know what will happen.”
Li Si's words were like an ice blade that stabbed into Huhai's heart.
He, who had already experienced emotional ups and downs, fell to the ground.
"Men, Young Master Huhai can't stand the stimulation. Invite him back to his residence and have a good rest. Don't let him run around.”
"Yes, sir!" Two armored guards took Huhai away.
At this point, some smart ministers had already begun to shut their mouths.
The situation seemed to have taken a strange turn.
The Zhao Gao that everyone had always thought of as the one who could cover the sky with one hand suddenly confessed to his crimes and was executed.
After Prime Minister Li Si entered and exited the palace, he noticed a huge change.
In fact…
The guards who only listened to His Majesty's orders also began to follow Li Si's orders.
All of this represented a terrifying sign.
The next moment, Li Si spoke again.
"Very good. "Since everyone can calmly accept Zhao Gao's confession, I hope that you will listen carefully to what I'm about to say. This is what is most important to Great Qin's fate.”
"What Minister Feng said just now is right. A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. As officials, we must also determine the successor to the throne as soon as possible.”
"But…"
He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him without blinking.
Li Si continued,"
"Unfortunately, His Majesty's patient came very suddenly and left in a hurry.”
"When he passed away, he did not have the time to leave behind a posthumous edict, nor did he appoint an heir to the throne!”
"Therefore, we are unable to decide which young master will inherit the throne.”
"And now, Eldest Young Master Fu Su is far away at the border and won't be able to rush back in a short time.”
"The Imperial Court has so many important matters to deal with, so Great Qin cannot be without someone in charge.”
"Therefore, as the prime minister, I recommend it.”
"Thirteenth Young Master, you will temporarily take over the position of Country Supervisor.”
Boom!
If Zhao Gao's execution just now was a heavy blow…
Then this sentence of letting the Thirteenth Young Master oversee the country was a joke!
All the officials widened their eyes and mouths in disbelief.
Are you crazy? To make that ignorant, incompetent, useless, and only know how to eat, drink, and play Thirteenth Young Master…
Guarding the country?
