Chapter 40 I Didn't Want to Let You Out
Li Si took a deep breath, which caused his face to hurt, but he didn't care! He was relieved!
He bowed deeply to Zhao Gao solemnly, and this time Zhao Gao did not stop Li Si.
"Zhou has its own system! Qin has its own system!"
"Gao will report all of Li Tingwei's words and deeds to Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Order Zhao. If you have time, you can come to my house to have a chat. I was injured on the face, and Order Zhao was injured on the buttocks. Both are external injuries and can be cured with external medicines that Your Majesty can personally prescribe." Li Si said sincerely.
"This is a gift from your majesty to Li Tingwei. How can Gao accept it?"
"Zhao Chefu is in charge of protecting your majesty. If you recover one day sooner, your majesty will be free from worries sooner. How can you not accept this?"
"Thank you, Li Tingwei, for your kindness, but without Your Majesty's consent, I dare not use what Your Majesty has given me." Zhao Gao rejected Li Si again.
Just when Li Si was about to change his attitude towards Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao changed the subject and said, "I will go to your house in person on an auspicious day to thank Li Tingwei."
Li Si replied modestly : "Good! I am at home, respectfully welcoming the Emperor Zhao."
The two men said goodbye, and Zhao Gao walked past Li Si.
He walked step by step with his back to Li Si, and his footsteps were clearly audible in the silent night.
When Zhao Gao took six steps, Li Si put on a black veil and whispered to the air in front of him: "Si entered the Zhangtai Palace and did not say anything wrong about Zhao Gao's car house commander."
A black wind blew by.
There was no one behind Li Si.
"Let's go." Li Si said to the young eunuch.
"Yes." The young eunuch replied and continued to lead Li Si out of the palace.
Although the process of entering the palace this time was bumpy and difficult, as long as the result is good, it is enough. I have finally taken a step further in Your Majesty's heart.
Zhao Gao is your Majesty's confidant and will certainly tell your Majesty everything I said to him.
If Zhao Gao comes to visit my home in a few days, it means that Your Majesty has regarded me as a confidant equal to Zhao Gao, and the Zhou system and Qin system are just casual remarks.
But if Zhao Gao doesn't come, if I want to become your majesty's confidant, I need to refute the Zhou system, come up with the Qin system, make enemies with all the ministers, and become a lone minister.
Oh, that’s not bad, so what if I’m just a lone minister?
Only as a king can one claim to be alone and unattached.
What was the Zhou system of feudal fiefdoms, and what was the Qin system?
In Guanzhong, there are counties but no fiefdoms.
…
“Stop!”
Another team of palace guards stopped the two men and interrupted Li Si's thoughts.
"Password!"
"The moon is bright."
Seeing the leading official examining him warily, Li Si couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I am Li Si, the Chief Justice. This is the badge. Don't be alarmed." Li Si casually threw the badge to the attendant.
This time, there was no anxiety or anger in Li Si's voice.
"Greetings, Lord Tingwei!"
"No need to be polite. Patrolling at night is not as good as patrolling during the day. You can't see too many places. You should be cautious."
"Thank you, Lord Tingwei, for your understanding." Xialang said gratefully.
This team of officials felt flattered that a senior official could be so considerate of them, the lower officials .
After this, Li Si was stopped four more times on his way out of the palace. Every time, Li Si's tone was as gentle as the eighth time he was stopped.
In the palace at night, Zhao Gao ran at full speed.
Li Si took off her veil when she saw me. She was really careful.
If I was still angry about a previous conflict, seeing his miserable state would mostly dissipate my anger.
The reason why the first sentence was so sharp was that he was unsure of my purpose and was afraid that I would get so angry that I would kill him.
As soon as he said this, the secret guards would definitely gather here and be on guard against me making any move against him.
I just don't know whether this is Li Si's preparation for a rainy day or a response on the spot. If it is a preparation for a rainy day, he is very careful! If it is a response on the spot, his quick wit is also extraordinary.
After all, he is a smart man. If Your Majesty has no objection, I can try to interact with him.
After Zhao Gao finished his thoughts, a little more than a cup of tea passed before Zhangtai Palace appeared before him.
He stepped in and told the First Emperor all that Li Si had done and said after he met him.
Including some of the words that were later said to win him over, Zhao Gao did not hide anything and told him everything.
"I understand. There are many things going on in the palace these days. Please don't go out."
"only."
Zhao Gao knew that the First Emperor wanted him not to visit Li Si in the near future.
Zhao Gao stepped down, and the First Emperor asked Gai Nie to pick up the bamboo slips he had written on the ground - the decree requiring Ying Fusu to go to Shangjun.
Gai Nie picked up the bamboo slips and handed them to the First Emperor with both hands.
The First Emperor's gaze lingered for a moment on one of the bamboo slips in the scroll, where there was a small bloodstain.
The only person who was bleeding in Zhangtai Palace was Li Si.
…
Da Zheng Palace.
Ying Fusu was distraught.
He looked at the water marks on the smooth floor tiles.
Just now there was a corpse, a human head, and a pool of blood.
"Zhao Cuo was killed by his uncle. How could his uncle be such a person? Zhao Cuo was killed by his uncle. How could his uncle be such a person?"
Ying Fusu fell on the bed, muttering to himself, with tears streaming from his eyes.
Zhao Cuo is the supervisor Zhao who died at the hands of Ying Chengjiao. He is an old eunuch who has served Ying Fusu since childhood.
Just as Ying Fusu was lying on the couch, covered with the quilt in disbelief, all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Da Zheng Palace knelt in front of Ying Fusu.
Ying Fusu heard a noise outside, wiped away his tears, pulled off the quilt, sat up and looked - he had just issued an order that no one was allowed to enter the Da Zheng Palace.
"What are you going to do?" Ying Fusu's voice was a little hoarse. "Didn't I tell you not to come in?!" Because of sadness, Ying Fusu's tone was a little heavy for the first time.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the Da Zheng Palace seemed unable to hear anything and kept crying and shouting.
"My Lord, Lord Chang'an said that if you leave the Zheng Palace, he will behead us all, just like Director Zhao did!"
"I don't want to die , please save us, Master!"
"Please, Master, have mercy on us and don't leave the Zheng Palace."
Ying Fusu's eyes were red, and it was unclear whether he was angry or crying, or both.
"How could my uncle do this? How could my uncle do this?"
He pounded the bed hard, again and again, until the bed shook.
Bang!
After several punches, the bed collapsed after Ying Fusu unconsciously used his internal force.
Ying Fusu felt the bed sinking, so he immediately jumped away and walked out in annoyance.
The bed was broken, so he had to go find someone to put a new one in place.
"What is the eldest son going to do?"
"don't want!"
"Please spare my life, young master!"
The eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly crawled forward, knelt down, kowtowed, and begged Ying Fusu bitterly.
There were also some palace maids and eunuchs standing at the door, blocking the palace gate and preventing Ying Fusu from going out.
Only then did Ying Fusu remember that if he walked out of the Da Zheng Palace, all the eunuchs and palace maids in front of him would die.
"Uncle! How could you do this?" Ying Fusu raised his head and sighed, tears streaming down his cheeks. "Don't panic, I won't go out. Go find someone to fix the bed."
Everyone was overjoyed and all knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Ying Fusu.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
"I knew that the eldest master would not abandon our lives!"
"The eldest son is the most righteous!"
Ying Fusu fell to the ground, grabbing his hair, looking very depressed.
He wanted to know when his uncle Ying Chengjiao would release him from the Da Zheng Palace.
On top of the Da Zheng Palace, Ying Chengjiao was lying on the glazed tiles, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the starry night sky and sneering.
The eldest son of the First Emperor was besieged by a group of eunuchs and palace maids in the Zheng Palace?
This is even more ridiculous than in modern society, where community owners are cut off from water and electricity by property management and beaten by security guards!
"I never wanted to let you out." Ying Chengjiao changed to a more comfortable position and said, "Nephew, it was not me who trapped you in the Zheng Palace, but you yourself."
