Although Wang Wan is not the kind of villain who takes power and does not forgive others, she is somewhat happy to see her former opponent so unhappy.

The literati have an advantage in fighting each other, and they can't help but talk a few words, so Wang Wan's actions are not surprising to others.

"I'm worried about Mr. Lao. I haven't been in good health recently. I'm planning to ask for a period of rest to go back and take a good look."

Li Si said something indifferent, and then he walked away, looking a little annoyed.

After the decree of Yingzheng's succession to support the Soviet Union was issued, the turmoil in the court was directly brought to the fore.

The officials from Wang Wan's faction were elated, while the officials from Li Si's faction were furious, and many of them even switched to Wang Wan's side directly.

After all, these officials stand in line, in the final analysis, for their own interests.

In terms of ability, Zhao Che is definitely above Fusu, there is no doubt about it, even Fusu himself admits it.

Therefore, many people believe that when Yingzheng really wants to pass the throne in the future, he will still choose between Fusu and Zhao Che. After all, the crown prince has not already ascended the throne, and there may still be changes in the future.

In the DPRK, in fact, the officials on Li Si's side have always been on the upper hand. The main reason is that Zhao Che's ability is too powerful, and his prestige in Daqin is rising day by day, so many people choose to side with Zhao Che.

But what people never expected is that Zhao Che really didn't seem to have the slightest idea of ​​fighting for the crown prince. It was fine to have a conflict with Fusu before. Not one step.

If Zhao Che could not ascend the throne, it would be an unacceptable consequence for the officials on Li Si's side. If they carried Zhao Che's label on them, they would definitely be suppressed by Fusu in the future.

In order to avoid this, many people decisively began to disassociate themselves from Zhao Che, and even betrayed Li Si and the others, just hoping to mix into Wang Wan's camp.

Zuo Xiangfu.

This former residence of Li Si had experienced countless splendors.

Before Zhao Gao happened, Li Si's status in the court was below one person but above ten thousand people. People who came to visit him every day could break the threshold.

However, after Zhao Gaozhi's change, Li Si became a street mouse overnight, and the former bustling crowds have become empty houses.

Until Zhao Che resumed his position as left minister again, Li Si's mansion was restored to its former glory.

But now, Li Si has not even completely collapsed, but Zuo Xiang's mansion has become what it was when it was at its worst.

Even many servants in the mansion resigned, and the huge Zuo Xiang's mansion instantly became dead silent.

But at this time, in Li Si's study, he was still reading the book contentedly, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.

"Prime Minister, even if you are studying, you must not forget to eat. The weather is cold, and it is just right to have a bowl of hot porridge to warm you up."

The study door opened, and Shu Suntong came in from the outside, holding a bowl of steaming eight-treasure porridge in his hand.

Eight-treasure porridge is a good thing in Daqin, because there are many ingredients that do not belong to the north, and even in the south, it has not been popularized on a large scale, so it is still very difficult to gather the ingredients for a bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

But as Li Si, a mere bowl of eight-treasure porridge is nothing to him.

"Why don't you leave? Aren't you afraid of being squeezed out by those officials in the court?"

Li Si put down the book in his hand, took the porridge from Shu Suntong's hand, and said something with a smile.

"Prime Minister, when I first arrived in Daqin, I was very poor. I had no foundation in the court, and no one even wanted to pay attention to me. Fortunately, you took me in and taught me how to be an official. Today, my uncle Sun Tong is also a person who has read the books of sages for several years, and the Prime Minister has shown me the kindness of knowledge, how can I repay the kindness?"

"The truth?"

Li Si smiled, he had a fart of kindness to Shusun Tong, the two of them did have some relationship, but it was only limited to the fact that Li Si took him in for a while.

Moreover, Shusun Tong was a well-known Confucian in Daqin at that time, and he was summoned by Qin Shihuang as a doctor waiting for an imperial edict.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between Li Si and Shusun Tong was just a simple alliance of interests. Shusun Tong wanted to use Li Si's influence to gain a firm foothold in the court, and Li Si also wanted to win Shusun Tong to his side in the future.

In Li Si's opinion, Shusun Tong is the smartest among Dr. Daqin, because he has a very keen political vision and can always make the most correct decision every time.

Otherwise, if Shusun Tongzhen was so loyal to Li Si, why didn't he show favor to Li Si when Zhao Gaozhi changed?

At that time, Li Si was indeed at his worst, because what he committed was a crime of treason, and Ying Zheng was able to spare Li Si an extrajudicial favor. This was something Li Si didn't even think of. It was because Zhao Che spoke for him.

At that time, Shusun Tong had a normal relationship with Li Si, but compared to other people, Shusun Tong was not bad, but compared with now, it was completely different.

"What did the prime minister say? You and I are loyal to Daqin and His Majesty. How can there be any truth or falsehood?"

Shu Suntong changed the topic with a smile. There is never a need to be too explicit when talking between smart politicians, as long as everyone knows it well.

To be honest, when Shu Suntong first learned that Fusu had driven Zhao Che away, he was really panicked. Because of Li Si, he was also bound to Zhao Che's chariot.

So at that time, Shu Suntong was considering whether to switch to Wang Wan.

However, Shusuntong's prudence and carefulness helped him all the time. After coming to report the matter to Li Si, Shusuntong quickly noticed the strangeness in this matter.

Because Li Si was too calm, all his panic and worries were all staged.

In fact, Li Si has always been confident, and he is not worried that he will lose his current position at all.

Otherwise, with Li Si's personality that regards power as his life, he would definitely not choose to sit and wait for death.

Would such a person be willing to admit defeat if he could cooperate with Zhao Gao to tamper with Yingzheng's will?

"Shusun Tong, you are a very smart person. I have begun to appreciate you a little bit now, but many of your judgments are still based on your own assumptions. This is not good. If you can make up for this defect, I believe that in the future There will definitely be a place for you.”

Li Si smiled, and the idea of ​​cultivating Shusun Tong came to mind.

I have to admit that Shu Suntong is very smart and knows that he is confident, but what he never expected is that the big purge in the court was never a factional dispute between Zhao Che and Fusu.
