Chapter 322 The court collapses, and troubled times will rise(1/2)
The Xianyang City Prison, which had been silent for a long time, became lively again.
Some time ago, Hu Hai issued an order to thoroughly investigate the evidence of the prince and princess' rebellion. Zhao Gao arrested a large number of people and imprisoned the Xianyang prison.
Anything that has something to do will be arrested and put into a cell.
No one is exceptional.
In the past few months, I have seen many high-ranking officials and nobles.
In the past, a high-ranking official like Li Si was simply a man from heaven to him.
Now, any prisoner was randomly twisted out in the prison, all of whom were the royal family of Ying Qin and were high-ranking officials.
So he put Li Si in a cell without any disturbance, and he was even wondering if one day the emperor would be locked in a cell.
If you can lock the emperor in a cell with your own hands, it will definitely be a blessing to bring honor to your ancestors.
Thinking of this, while putting Li Si in a cell, he said to Li Si indifferently: "Prime Minister Li, the conditions here are simple, so I will take more responsibility;
If you are not used to it, try to ask the villain if you have any requirements. If the villain can do it, it will definitely satisfy Prime Minister Li. If the villain cannot do it, I hope Prime Minister Li will understand!"
After saying that, the prison slowly locked the prison door.
He had no idea of being bullied by a dog. After all, such a big man who had been in charge of the Qin State for decades might make a comeback at any time.
"Not needed for the time being, thank you."
Li Si waved his hand helplessly, then walked to the corner, sitting decadently on the haystack, silent.
At this time, there was no trace of sunshine in the corner, and the shadow enveloped Li Si's body.
"Don't regret it! Do you regret it!"
Li Si's head rested on the cold wall and murmured to himself: "Last Emperor, if you had dealt with Li Si earlier, Li Si would not have made such a big mistake..."
"hehe!"
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, a vicissitudes of laughter suddenly sounded from the cell: "What a coincidence, Prime Minister Li, I didn't expect you to come to see me!"
"Um?"
The moment he heard the laughter, Li Si was obviously stunned, then turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "How come you are here!"
"How could I be here?" Feng Jie raised his eyebrows: "Do you don't know?"
"I....."
Li Si said hesitantly: "I just removed you from your official position and did not imprison you..."
"So, I want to thank Prime Minister Li?" Feng Jie asked back with some amusing questions.
After Li Si removed him from his official position, he was imprisoned in his mansion. However, some time ago, Zhao Gao actually imprisoned him in prison, saying that he colluded with a certain prince and conspired to rebel.
However, before Li Si could speak, Feng Jie smiled and said, "Is Prime Minister Li very confused? Why don't I scold you? Why don't I fight with you?"
"Your matter is indeed related to me, but you..."
"Okay, Prime Minister Li, we are all people living in the court, why bother explaining more!"
Before Li Si could finish his words, Feng Jie waved his hand and sat down cross-legged.
The ground of the cell was covered with hay, and sitting up was not only not cool, but also warm.
"I trusted Prime Minister Li at the beginning and thought Prime Minister Li was the pillar of the Qin Dynasty. However, judging from Prime Minister Li's current situation, maybe I took a look." Feng Jie said slowly: "Prime Minister Li has not seen through the situation yet."
"situation?"
Li Si frowned: "What situation?"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me about the situation outside..."
"The Meng brothers have been sentenced to death by His Majesty. The Wang family and his son occupy Longxi, and Wang Li seeks credit from the court and asks to be named King Pinyang."
Actually, nothing major happened in the past few months.
Hu Hai did not care about the government except for eating, drinking and having fun in the harem all day long.
What big thing can happen!
Zhao Kun's previous money-making skills increased a lot of taxes to the Qin treasury. It was enough for Hu Hai to spend some time just by eating, drinking and having fun.
Even if there is something wrong, he will have to wait for Zhao Gao to report to him before he can know.
However, according to Zhao Gao's methods, it is difficult for Hu Hai to have a chance to turn over.
"Okay, Wang Li is worthy of the old general's grandson. He is so bold to be named king!"
"If the second emperor agreed to Wang Li's request, the Qin Dynasty's government would probably fall apart soon. By then, all the heroes would rise together, with Hu Hai's ability..."
Speaking of this, Feng Jie shook his head slightly and continued: "With Hu Hai's ability, it is probably difficult to defend the world of Qin, not to mention that there is also an ambitious Zhao Gao!"
"Your Majesty, your game of good chess..."
"Um?"
Li Si was obviously stunned when he heard Feng Jie's words.
As if seeing Li Si’s thoughts, Feng Jie continued: “After you stay alone for a long time, you will find that all the information gathers together, and many things that cannot be understood will be gradually understood later.”
"Wang's family stood behind Li Anjun. If Li Anjun died, with Wang Ben's personality, he would definitely lead the Wang family to flee, but now he is openly separatist, what does this mean?"
"This means that Li Anjun may not be dead!"
Li Si: "......"
"I also heard from my father about Li Anjun. Although you have won over my father and got rid of Li Anjun, I really admire Li Anjun's ability!"
Li Si: "......"
"Middle through the Eastern Tour, Meng Yi returned to Xianyang and said that he was ordered to investigate theft of the jade seal, but Yao Jia was killed after being imprisoned for a few days!"
"This is very suspicious!"
Li Si naturally knew what Feng Jie said.
But Li Si always recalled the speculation that Zhao Kun was not dead.
If Zhao Kun was not dead, many unreasonable things would be cleared in an instant.
But why did Zhao Kun not die?
Also, what is the chess played by Ying Zheng?
Just when Li Si was puzzled, Feng Jie said again: "Li Si, Your Majesty once told me that you, Li Si, are a talented person. When you chose Qin, you thought it was a headache for people. Then you seize every opportunity to achieve your current status."
"But." As he said that, he changed his subject and then said, "Your Majesty also said that although you are talented, you are too utilitarian. If you go to extremes, you will be afraid that you will use all means for your own goals."
Hearing this, Li Si suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Jie.
Feng Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had seen through everything, and said with a smile: "Li Si, do you know why His Majesty asked me to be the Censor?"
"have no idea."
Li Si's answer was straightforward.
Feng Jie was not surprised at all, but said leisurely: "I came from a military military and knew nothing about supervising all officials, but Your Majesty still entrusted important tasks just because I dared to act."
"You Li Si is extremely smart, but have you ever thought that Your Majesty has been in power for decades, and the affairs of the court, both inside and outside, and all officials, are there anything you don't know about?"
Hearing this, Li Si, who was sitting in the shadow, trembled and a terrified look appeared in his eyes.
Feng Jie's words made him feel like he was waking up from a dream.
Things that happened flashed in front of Li Si's eyes like slides, and then gradually became a line.
After a while, Li Si looked at Feng Jie incredibly, wanting to speak but stopping.
But Feng Jie said again, "You and my father are both chess pieces in the hands of Your Majesty, including Zhao Gao. We have followed Your Majesty for decades, but we have never jumped out of Your Majesty's chess game. The only one who really plays chess is always the only one!"
The so-called Feng Jie, who was confused by the authorities and never participated in the Eastern Tour of Emperor Qin Shi, had a more thorough understanding of the people who often accompanied Emperor Qin Shi Shi.
This made Li Si's scalp numb, and he thought to himself, no wonder Emperor Shi wanted to let Feng Jie be the censor.
Not to mention anything else, just by talking about this insight, Feng Jie can definitely look down on the court.
"Everyone in the world thinks that Your Majesty is fighting with others. In fact, Your Majesty has been fighting with the sky. You and I are just ordinary people. How can we guess the emperor's heart?" Feng Jie stared at Li Si calmly.
Li Si frowned and immediately asked, "When did Your Majesty start the layout?"
"I don't know this, but according to my father, His Majesty once brought back a jade plaque made of jade seal?"
"That jade plaque was carved by Yao Jia stole the jade seal!"
"Haha, Li Anjun is really bold..."
Feng Jie smiled and said, "I think Your Majesty should have discovered the secret of the jade plaque."
"What do you mean is that from the start of the jade plaque, His Majesty has already made arrangements?" Li Si asked.
"The emperor's heart is unpredictable. Even if I can tell something strange, it will be meaningless without His Majesty's recognition."
Feng Jie spread his hands and said to Li Si: "Prime Minister Li might as well think about it again. Will Your Majesty admit that the jade plaques and seals of the same material are wrong?"
"Won't!"
