Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

After realizing this, Li Si sighed and said again:

"Li Si asked to see the King of Qin on some important military affairs, so please go and inform him again."

Zhao Gao's expression was even more troubled, his eyes wandered and he didn't dare to meet Li Si's eyes, he just said: "Lord Chang Shi, it was the king who said he didn't want to see you, it's useless for me to say it again, you should go back ..."

Zhao Gao's words have already reached this point. It stands to reason that Li Si should also retreat in the face of difficulties, but Li Si did not choose to give up. Looking at the closed palace gate not far away, Li Si stepped back half a step and knelt straight in the palace. outside the door.

"You! Why bother!"

Seeing that Li Si made such a move, Zhao Gao shouted in surprise and incomprehension, as if he was going to help Li Si up, but Li Si waved his hand and said, "When will the king see Li Si, and when will Li Si get up?" .”

"Ugh!"

Zhao Gao sighed deeply, these two people were really strange, Li Si clearly knew that King Qin was angry, yet he still came to ask to see him, and King Qin even sent people to find out what Li Si was doing every day, yet he just refused to see him.

Although Zhao Gao saw all these in his eyes and knew it in his heart, he couldn't say anything because of his identity, so he could only let the two continue to be so awkward.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory where Yingzheng was staying, Zhao Gao heard Yingzheng asking in front of the desk, "Have you left?"

"My lord is kneeling in front of the palace gate, saying when will the king see him and when will he get up."

As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, the pen in Ying Zheng's hand was suddenly clenched, and a moment later, it was pressed heavily on the desk again.

"So what about kneeling? He is so sure that I will meet him? Don't care about him, let's see how long he can kneel."

Ying Zheng got up, walked around the hall violently a few times, returned to the desk, knelt down again, picked up the pen on the desk, and said angrily.

It was Li Si who didn't want to see him before, but now when he came to ask to see him, he agreed, wouldn't it appear that he, the King of Qin, had a lot of face?

Although he thought so at the beginning, as time passed, something else gradually appeared in Ying Zheng's mind: Is he still kneeling at the gate of the palace? He has been kneeling for a long time, and he can hold on ……

At this moment, Ying Zheng had no intention of reading the words on the bamboo slips. All his thoughts were completely occupied by Li Si who was kneeling outside the palace gate. He wanted to see him, but his self-esteem did not allow him to do so.

As if he had sensed Ying Zheng's entangled thoughts, Zhao Gao tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, may I go out and have a look?"

Ying Zheng didn't answer, so he acquiesced to Zhao Gao's proposal. Zhao Gao hurriedly ran outside the hall. After a while, Zhao Gao went and came back, saying, "You're still kneeling there. My lord, Mr. Chang Shi probably It's really a big deal, or..."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao immediately stopped talking. He knew that the King of Qin he was serving was not a gentle and benevolent monarch. On the contrary, he was moody. Before Zhao Gao became Ying Zheng's attendant, His predecessors all died tragically, so it is better for him not to intervene in the affairs between the king and Lord Changshi.

When Li Si rushed to Xianyang Palace, it was not yet noon, but before he knew it, noon had already passed and the sky was getting dark. Li Si's legs had already been so stiff after kneeling motionless for several hours. Without consciousness, his vision had gradually begun to blur, his body shook a few times, as if he was about to fall down in the next moment, but even so, the door in front of him was still tightly closed.

Li Si closed his eyes with a wry smile on his face.

Even Li Si didn't know why he insisted on seeing the King of Qin. Although the matter of Cheng Yu was strange, it wasn't enough to make him persist, or... In fact, he didn't want to be separated from each other like before. See you now.

In the matter of feelings, it is impossible to explain clearly. Even if I say that I want to cut off contact with Ah Zheng, I can't do it in my heart...

Thinking about this, Li Si's thoughts gradually began to become confused, and his consciousness seemed to be moving away from him, but even so, his body still maintained a kneeling posture until he completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground in vain. It was kneeling straight like that.

===

Before opening his eyes, Li Si heard a familiar voice.

"How is he?"

Another voice rang out:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Chang Shi just fainted because he hadn't had any water or food for half a day and was exhausted."

Li Si reluctantly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look aside. Although his vision was still a little blurry, he could vaguely see that the person standing in the room was Ying Zheng.

Seeing that Li Si had woken up, Ying Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, he still had a cold face, and walked to Li Si's bed with a porcelain bowl in his hand, saying, "Eat something first when you wake up."

As he spoke, he wanted to help Li Si get up, but Li Si blocked the bowl that had been brought to his mouth with his hand.

"Your Majesty is planning to order Lord Chang'an to lead one hundred thousand elite troops to attack Zhao, is this possible?"

"You begged to see the widow just for this?"

Ying Zheng stared at Li Si with wide eyes, his disappointment was beyond words, but Li Si didn't seem to see the look on his face, and continued: "Your Majesty, please think again about this matter."

Ying Zheng put the bowl in his hand aside and stated calmly:

"The Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Xia both pleaded for Cheng Yu's life, so what can I do?"

Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Li Si felt that something was wrong. He said to himself, "Mr. Chang'an grew up beside the Empress Dowager Xia since he was a child, but the Empress Dowager Huayang...why does she plead for Mr. Chang'an?"

"Why? Chang Shi thinks... Cheng Yu is not good enough for this great use?"

Li Si was silent for a moment. Anyway, Cheng Yu is the younger brother of Ying Zheng. Said, but Li Si was a little unwilling.

After thinking about it, Li Si had no choice but to hint in this way:

"Chengyu is a sharp sword, the king must be careful not to be hurt by this sharp sword."

Ying Zheng didn't continue talking, he just stared at Li Si. After a long time, Ying Zheng got up and said, "Chang Shi's worries should be unnecessary. Anyway, Cheng Yu is the widow's younger brother after all."

When Ying Zheng said this, the meaning in his words was already very clear. He trusted Cheng Yu and believed that Cheng Yu would not betray him. Li Si was a little unwilling, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ying Zheng directly: "This matter Don't say any more, Chang Shi has a good rest, the widow's edict has been issued, half a month later, Cheng Yu will lead the army to go out."

After speaking, Ying Zheng strode out of the inner room.

Looking at the bowl of rice porridge left by Ying Zheng, Li Si suddenly felt that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Ying Zheng since at some point.

===

A few days later, the matter of Cheng Yu leading an army of [-] to go to Zhao State was finally finalized, and the government and the public heard about it, and everyone was shocked.On the day when Cheng Yu went to war, the King of Qin personally practiced it for Cheng Yu, and all the officials sent him off. The spectacle was no less than that of King Qin's personal expedition.

Leading the [-] army, Cheng Yu did not rush to Zhao State. The [-] army he obtained was not used to fight Zhao State, but to help him ascend the throne, but at the same time, he did not Eager to return to Xianyang, at this moment, he is waiting for news from Xianyang.

No one noticed that the white-clothed scholar beside Cheng Yu had long since disappeared, and what Cheng Yu was waiting for was the news that Fu Boqiu brought back from Xianyang.

In fact, when Cheng Yu led an army of [-] to Zhao State, Fu Boqiu had secretly returned to Xianyang. He knew that at this time, the defenders in Xianyang City must be empty, and what he had to do was to join Fan Wuqi Leading [-] elite soldiers, they took Xianyang Palace in one fell swoop.

Yingzheng would never have imagined that Li Si's previous worries had become reality, and that his brother and clan, whom he had always trusted, had really betrayed him.
