Xianyang Li Mansion.
As the most powerful family in the empire today, the Li family and his son are extremely popular, but they usually keep a low profile.Although this mansion is located in the aristocratic settlement of Xianyang, compared with others, it can only be described as simple.
But every prince and grandson who passed by here would get off the car and walk.
For nothing else but the privilege.
His Majesty the Emperor once decreed that anyone passing Li Si's mansion must dismount and walk.
In the middle of the night, Li Si sat in his room reading a book after finishing his official duties.
This is his habit for many years. Although reading may not bring him any knowledge, it can calm his mind down.
Now, with the eldest son Fusu losing power, the crown prince is vacant.
As Fusu's first teacher, Li Si's mood can be imagined.
But he knew that at this time, he had to be more calm. No matter who succeeded the throne in the future, he had to keep his power and status.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of pigeons flapping their wings came from the window.
Li Si got up and pushed open the window. Seeing no one around, he took some corn from the tray next to him and put it in front of the pigeon.
The pigeon happily ate the corn, and Li Si took the opportunity to remove the small iron ring tied to the pigeon's foot.
Inside the small iron ring was a piece of rags, and Li Si frowned when he saw it.
"It actually failed?"
Zhao Gao only informed Li Si when he was preparing to implement the plan.
Li Si was originally worrying about Zhao Gang's affairs, but he didn't expect Zhao Gao to agree with him.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Gao couldn't do anything to Zhao Gang.
Ever since Zhao Gang appeared, Li Si couldn't sleep well every night.Whenever he was sleeping, he would dream that Zhao Gang took away his position as the head of the hundred officials.
Li Si felt that this was not just a dream, but a warning from the heavens.
Although Zhao Gang is young, he has accomplished countless impossible things in the few months since he appeared.If he is given enough time to grow, in time, this guy will definitely become the pillar of the entire empire and completely replace his position.
Especially after learning that Zhao Gang is Ying Zheng's son, his heart is even more heavy.
Serving as a minister next to Yingzheng is already like walking on thin ice. If there is another emperor who is more capable than Yingzheng, how will the ministers survive?
Since the birth of royal power, the game between royal power and prime minister power has never stopped.
The prime minister is not only the emperor's subordinate, but also a shackle that restricts the king.
The stronger the phase, the harder it is for the king to survive.
The weaker the phase, the more powerful the king has the ability to lead the government.
The current failure to assassinate Zhao Gang is not a big deal to Li Si although it is a bit regrettable.
After all, from beginning to end, I did not instruct Zhao Gao, nor did I tell anyone about it.
Even though Zhao Gang once disagreed with him on some ideas, but they did not have a direct conflict or festival, even if Zhao Gang wanted to break his head, he probably would not think of himself.
Right now his only worry is one thing.
That is whether the lunatic Zhao Gao will betray himself.
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful.
If he hadn't replied to Zhao Gao at the beginning, Zhao Gao would not have had anything against him, and whether he killed Zhao Gang or not had nothing to do with him.
But now, I have the handle to stay with him, so I have to let him do everything.
To put it bluntly, I actually became an ally with this eunuch.
"Bastard!"
Li Si hammered down the desk case hard, and the servants outside heard the movement and came to the door and asked, "Master, what happened?"
"Get out, get out of here."
A roar came from inside the house, and the servant was shocked and quickly retreated.
Li Si treats his servants very kindly on weekdays, but for some reason, since His Majesty returned from northern Xinjiang, his temper has become worse day by day. Swearing at people has become the norm, and there are even cases of beating people.
Most of the servants were too scared to approach, that is to say, some old people dared to wait under pressure.
Li Si was really angry in the room. He paced back and forth for a long time before he regained his composure. He sat back at the table, glanced at the books on the table, then stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind him, and took out a box from the far right side.
This box looks simple and simple, with nine flying dragons on it, and an opal inlaid on the top of the box, which shone strangely in the dark night.
There are many owners of this box, but the last owner's name is Han Fei.
There are rumors in ancient times that after the death of the dragon, it turned into seven stars and fell to seven different places in the world. If someone can put these seven stars together, they can get the world.
Li Si didn't know what was hidden in this box.
But based on Han Fei's attitude of wanting to send the box out before he died, the box must have contained one of the seven parts of the dragon.
Li Si knew very well now that Fusu had to get rid of Zhao Gang if he wanted to succeed to the throne.
But Zhao Gang is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and it is more difficult to kill him than to get rid of one of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers.
Because he couldn't get rid of it, he had to think of other ways.
And the box in front of him was his only choice.
As long as you find what is in the box and present it to His Majesty, His Majesty will be happy, and your position will definitely be more stable.
But he also learned from Han Fei that Canglong Qisu was originally kept by the royal families of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.
But with the outbreak of Qin's war to rule the world, Canglong Qisu completely disappeared without a trace.There are even rumors that these things are simply fake and do not exist.
But Li Si knew that he was in this box decades ago.
My only hope is this box.
Thinking of this, Li Si made a decision.
"Come on!"
The servant outside the house heard the voice, walked in quickly, and saluted Li Si.
"master!"
Li Si nodded, took out the brush and bamboo slips from the table and began to write quickly.
After a while, he tied up the bamboo slips and handed them over to the servant, saying: "Hurry up and send this letter to the eldest son of Sanchuan County, there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, sir!"
Li Si breathed a sigh of relief when the servants went out.
I was in Xianyang, and it was really difficult to move around with countless pairs of eyes staring at me.
But Li You is different, he is in Sanchuan County, as long as he finds a way to find parts in other countries, his plan will be successful.
