Zhao Gao's feminine eyes saw the cold glint in Li Si's eyes. He smiled sinisterly and knew that Li Si had almost achieved his purpose for coming here today.
Li Si had always been greedy for power and was an important official of the empire. To Zhao Gao, he was a good partner.
Of course, it was only temporary!
"Since Lord Li has thought it through, this one will be straightforward.
Young Master Fusu had Meng Tian and Yingzhan to teach him, but Young Master Huhai lacked a great teacher.
Although I am Young Master Huhai's teacher in name, I am only a servant of the royal family. I am only responsible for taking care of Young Master Huhai's daily life.
If Lord Li is willing to be Young Master Huhai's teacher, it would be Young Master Huhai's honor.
With Lord Li's status, if he could support Young Master Huhai, then Young Master could also fight for the position of the Empire's heir!
Young Master will definitely not disappoint Lord Li in the future…"
Zhao Gao revealed his motive for this trip. He wanted Li Si to be bound to Huhai and Zhao Gao's carriage.
Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao and fell silent.
Before Zhao Gao had even opened his mouth, he had already guessed Zhao Gao's intention. Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case.
However, Li Si had never been involved in the matters of the young masters.
He knew that the First Emperor was an emperor with great talent and vision, and he could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
The First Emperor was thirty-nine years old, the prime of his life.
As an important official of the empire, if he got too close to the young masters, it would inevitably arouse the Emperor's suspicion.
The father was still in power, yet he was close to his son. This was the taboo of a minister!
Therefore, as a smart person, Li Si had always respected the First Emperor and kept a respectful distance from the other young masters.
Moreover, before the First Emperor appointed a crown prince, no one knew which young master would eventually become the heir.
If he interacted with the young masters too early and chose the wrong person to support, it would be self-defeating if another young master took the throne in the end.
Therefore, it was better to just be a pure official and be loyal to whoever was in the emperor's seat.
However, Li Si hesitated after hearing the news from Zhao Gao.
If he hadn't sent people to monitor Ying Zhan and showed hostility, then everything would have been fine.
Based on his experience, Li Si was most likely to be the next Prime Minister.
Even if he helped Su ascend the throne in the future and put his trusted aides Meng Tian and Yingzhan in an important position, Li Si would only step down as the former Prime Minister.
But now, Li Si felt that he already had a grudge against Yingzhan. If he were to put himself in his shoes, once Yingzhan gained power in the future, he would inevitably take revenge on him!
After all, in the history of the Qin country, very few ministers who offended others had a good ending!
Duke Xiao of Qin appointed Shang Yang as prime minister. After the death of Duke Xiao of Qin, Shang Yang was punished by the old Qin family and died of car crack.
King Huiwen of Qin appointed Zhang Yi as prime minister. After King Huiwen died, Zhang Yi was expelled by King Wu of Qin and died of depression.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin had Fan Sui as prime minister, but he had almost killed Fan Sui in the end. If Fan Sui had not taken the initiative to retreat, he would have ended up like Shang Yang!
King Zhuang Xiang of Qin appointed Lu Buwei as the Prime Minister. Lu Buwei monopolized power and suppressed Ying Zheng, the King of Qin who succeeded the throne.
So Lu Buwei did not have a good end!
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, appointed Lord Changping as the Prime Minister, but Lord Changping betrayed the Qin Kingdom and died in defeat…
Thinking about it this way, this State of Qin's Minister was like a curse. Those who ascended the Minister mostly did not have a good ending!
Of course, this wasn't absolute. There would still be good results if good people like Wang Wan and Wang Liji who didn't offend others acted as prime ministers.
And now, Li Si had offended someone!
Thinking about the possible outcome in the future, Li Si felt cold and unwilling."Good! I'll be Young Master Huhai's teacher!"
" Congratulations, Lord Li!" Zhao Gao also smiled." You've made the right choice!"”
Thus, the alliance that was supposed to be formed ten years later was completed in advance…
…
That night, in Xianyang Pavilion, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
After Ying Zhan ate dinner, he began his routine night patrol. As long as he had time, Ying Zhan would personally patrol the Xianyang Pavilion within a radius of ten miles every day.
"Such a noble Marquis of the Empire is actually personally patrolling the night.”
Chi Lian gently rubbed her round belly and teased.
The food in Xianyang Pavilion was too good. After only staying in Xianyang Pavilion for two days, Chi Lian had obviously gained some weight…
"Get up and patrol the night with me. Don't forget that you're serving corvee.”
Ying Zhan smiled mischievously at Chi Lian's teasing, and Chi Lian lost her temper…
After all, she was a "prisoner" who was sentenced to a year of corvee for illegally possessing weapons and resisting the law with violence…
The Xianyang Pavilion was extremely quiet at night.
Because the citizens of Xianyang Pavilion had all followed the curfew and went to bed early.
Those who didn't sleep wouldn't go out at night.
Other than the law-enforcement officers like Ying Zhan who had their duties, the only ones who would travel at night were some shady bandits.
At this moment, in a workshop, a figure flashed like lightning and disappeared.
Looking at the neat pile of papers in the workshop, the figure could not help but exclaim,"My goodness!
This piece of paper was sold for 10,000 yuan in Xianyang City. He didn't expect that there would be so many here!”
As he said this, the figure did not stay idle. He casually picked up a stack of papers and stuffed them into his pocket."Hehe, take some more and give them to Giant and Old Man Ban to study.
If our Mo family can also develop a method to make paper, won't we be rich?”
This figure was the commander of the Mo Family, the king of the Thief Kings, the world's number one Divine Thief, Thief Zhi!
He was unrivaled in the world with his top-notch Lightning-type Divine Steps.
Thief Zhi had never failed once!
Because almost no one in the world could catch up to the speed of the Thief Plantar!
Originally, Robber Zhi only wandered around Xianyang. After the First Emperor unified the world, he moved 120,000 rich families to enrich Xianyang. Therefore, many rich people from various countries were moved to Xianyang.
Therefore, Thief Zhi came to Xianyang, wanting to steal from those rich and heartless tycoons and use their ill-gotten gains as funds for the activities of the Mohist family.
However, before he could make a move, he heard that the chief of the Xianyang Pavilion had won the battle and was conferred the title of Marquis of Xianyang because he had presented the paper. He had also sold the paper for ten thousand yuan per piece, earning ten million yuan in just half a day!
As a disciple of the Mo family, although Thief Zhi did not know anything about mechanisms and craftsmanship, he still had the awareness of a disciple of the Mo family.
The Mohist school's philosophy was to love all and not attack to benefit the world. For this reason, they invented many tools and crafts.
Therefore, after learning about the magical thing called paper, Thief Zhi also wanted to bring it back to the Mo family so that the Mo family could study it and make it more convenient for more people.
Moreover, the Marquis of Great Qin had sold the paper at such a high price. If the Mo family could copy it and sell it at an even lower price, wouldn't they be able to make a huge profit?
Thief Zhi's idea was not bad. His stealing skills and professional abilities were also excellent.
However, Thief Zhi would never have thought that he would fall under an anti-theft mechanism that he had never seen before…
Thief Zhi, who had stolen the paper and wanted to retire, felt that he had not discovered some common anti-theft methods in this era, so he thought that this workshop did not have anti-theft measures at all.
Feeling complacent, he lowered his vigilance. Then, he felt as if he had stepped on something, and a sharp chicken cry sounded in his ears...
The craftsmen's quarters around the paper mill were lit up.
Ying Zhan also happened to be patrolling here…
