"This is His Majesty's intention, don't you dare to disobey?"
Li Si righteously reprimanded Zhao Gao.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao planned to disobey his will just after Ying Zheng passed away.
"Hehe, I kindly reminded the Prime Minister that it would not be good news for you if Young Master Fusu is in charge of Daqin."
"Ridiculous, Mr. Fusu is knowledgeable, diligent and caring for the people. Among His Majesty's many heirs, he is the only one who can serve as His Majesty Qin II!"
"What's more, this is His Majesty's will!"
Liszt deliberately emphasized the tone of the word will.
"Your Prime Minister is right, but you missed one thing."
"What's the matter?"
Li Si frowned, looking at Zhao Gao in front of him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
"Has the prime minister forgotten, who is the biggest helper behind Mr. Fu Su?"
"Help? Of course it's the Montessori Brothers!"
"That's right, the Meng brothers are the closest people to Master Fusu, just like you and Your Majesty back then."
"So what? The talents of the Meng brothers are also well-known in Daqin. Daqin is in need of such talents. With their assistance in supporting Mr. Su, Daqin's society will surely be more stable."
"Hehe, the prime minister's thinking is too simple!"
Zhao Gao sneered and shook his head.
"Li Si, don't forget, how you took the position of Prime Minister of Great Qin in the first place, it all depended on His Majesty's appreciation, but do you think Mr. Fusu will trust you more than Meng Yi? Or Where is Meng Yi?"
"This……"
"Don't dare to answer? In fact, the answer has already come out, right? You, Li Si, as the prime minister of the Great Qin, have a high position and authority, and you are the person His Majesty the Great Qin relies on the most. Do you think Mr. Fusu will take this position?" Leave it to you?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Li Si's breathing was already a little short.
"Li Si, I know that you are a representative of the Legalists. Isn't your greatest wish to let the Great Qin rule the country according to the law? But Mr. Fusu is from a Confucian background, and he has the benevolence and righteousness of the Confucianism in his bones. He has remonstrated several times before Your Majesty, you want to abolish the status quo of ruling the country by law, you don’t know that, do you?”
Li Si naturally knew that Fusu even came to give advice to Yingzheng in front of him.
However, Fusu's suggestion was rejected by Ying Zheng.
Li Si is a man who can be said to be loyal to Da Qin, but he has two fatal flaws.
It was because Li Si had a great desire for power. For this reason, he could use any means, even planning to kill his brother Han Fei at the beginning.
It is Li Si's dream. He studied under Xunzi, and his biggest dream is to spread the thought of Legalism to the whole of Daqin.
Li Si was lucky to meet the monarch Ying Zheng, so all his dreams were realized.
But Fusu studied under Confucianism, Li Si naturally knew this.
Confucianism and Legalism were originally two schools of thought that opposed and hated each other.
As Zhao Gao said, if Fusu became His Majesty of the Great Qin, the first thing he would do would be to weaken the influence of the Legalists in the Great Qin and vigorously promote the Confucian thought of benevolence.
The easiest and most effective way to weaken the influence of the Legalists was to take away Li Si's position as Prime Minister and hand it over to Meng Yi, whom Fusu trusted.
"How about the prime minister? Have you figured it out?"
At this time, Zhao Gao's whisper sounded like a devil's raving, which made Li Si's heart tense.
"What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao understood that Li Si's heart was already moved.
Immediately, Zhao Gao spoke out his plan.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty has ascended to heaven, but there are only you and me beside His Majesty, and I personally wrote His Majesty's will. As long as you and I don't say it, it is not us who will be His Majesty Daqin." Is it up to you?"
"You want to support Hu Hai to the throne?"
Li Si instantly understood Zhao Gao's plan.
"That's right, Mr. Hu Hai's talent is not inferior to that of the eldest son Fusu. Even though he has a bit of a stubborn personality, but with the Prime Minister on your side to help, I believe that Daqin will still be as stable as ever."
"Besides, I can promise you that as long as Mr. Hu Hai becomes His Majesty the Great Qin, you will still be the Prime Minister of Great Qin, and I can also help you to continue to spread the ideas of Legalism."
"And what you need to pay is to help me prove the authenticity of His Majesty's edict, how about it? Would the prime minister be willing?"
……
Listening to Zhao Gao's persuasion, Li Si fell into deep thought.
I have to admit that Zhao Gao is indeed a good player in winning people's hearts, he has precisely grasped Li Si's lifeline.
If Li Si wanted to keep his position and his own ideas, he could only agree to Zhao Gao's request.
Zhao Gao was not in a hurry, he just waited for Li Si to think slowly.
Anyway, he has already confirmed that Li Si will definitely agree to himself and support Hu Hai with him.
Sure enough, Li Si, who had pondered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Okay, I promise you, I will help you tamper with the will and let Mr. Hu Hai take over!"
"A wise choice. Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister. I will definitely do what I promised you."
Zhao Gao laughed out loud, then found a pen and paper, and began to write the will.
With Yingzheng's seal sealed, this falsified edict will be fully effective.
Hu Hai's supremacy has become an established fact.
"Your Majesty, without further ado, let's pass on His Majesty's last edict, and give His Majesty a grand funeral by the way!"
Holding the will, Zhao Gao looked up at Ying Zheng who was lying silently on the bed, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
After all, after being together for so many years, no matter how inhumane Zhao Gao is, he still has some affection for Ying Zheng.
It's a pity that this kind of emotion can't resist the desire for power after all. For his future prosperity and wealth, Zhao Gao resolutely chose to go against Ying Zheng's last wish.
"Your Majesty, the dragon controls Bintian!"
In Yingzheng's bedroom, the cries of Li Si and Zhao Gao could be heard, and the servant guarding the door rushed in immediately after hearing the voice.
What they saw was Zhao Gao and Li Si, who looked sad, kneeling in front of Ying Zheng's bed, weeping bitterly.
On the bed, Ying Zheng's body lay there peacefully, but there was no more sound.
Soon, the news spread quickly, and many officials in the court rushed to Xianyang Palace after hearing the news.
"Where is Your Majesty? I want to see Your Majesty!"
Meng Yi was the first to bear the brunt, rushing all the way to the door of the bedroom, looking at the guards blocking the door, and asked to meet Ying Zheng in person.
Li Si righteously reprimanded Zhao Gao.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao planned to disobey his will just after Ying Zheng passed away.
"Hehe, I kindly reminded the Prime Minister that it would not be good news for you if Young Master Fusu is in charge of Daqin."
