Chapter 63: Zhao Gao Ren Prime Minister (Second Update)

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty -" Li Si shouted, but Hu Hai was not moved, and Zhao Gao led the guards to detain Li Si...

After leaving the palace, Li Si looked at Zhao Gao in front of him and said angrily: "Zhao Gao, you eunuch, you villain."

Hearing this, Zhao Gao smiled and seemed very happy to hear Li Si's words. He said, "Yes, I, Zhao Gao, am a castrate, but your superior Prime Minister Li doesn't know that castrates are not to be messed with. Take them away!"

Then two guards detained Li Si and dragged him away. Before leaving, Li Si spat at Zhao Gao and laughed and said: "The Great Qin is over, the Great Qin is over, Zhao Gao, you are destroying

I, the Qin Dynasty, Your Majesty the First Emperor, Li Si should not be greedy for power, and should not conspire with Zhao Gao to murder Mr. Fusu."

"Bold!" Zhao Gao hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded in a soft voice, "Li Si, you are talking nonsense and you are already a madman. Pull him down and cut out his tongue."

At this time, Zhao Gao no longer thought about his old feelings. If Li Si was allowed to continue talking like this, there is no guarantee that some secrets would be known to the whole city, "Prime Minister Li, don't blame Zhao Gao. Hey, you don't

After losing my tongue, I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything anymore. Haha, if there's anything else you want to say, just say it quickly."

Hearing Zhao Gao's sarcasm, Li Si struggled away angrily, but the guard was so strong that he couldn't get away at all, "Bah - Zhao Gao, I, Li Si, will not bow to you even if I die. Castrated dog, look.

How will you go to see His Majesty the First Emperor in the future?"

"Hmph, Prime Minister Li is quite tough, but he is no match for an imperfect man like me. Take him away!" Zhao Gao waved his sleeves coldly and ordered immediately.

"No!" Two guards detained Li Si and went down.

Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's back, shook his head with a sneer, and sighed to himself: "Li Si, Li Si, why are you doing this? I obviously know that I want to be a normal man, but I hate people calling me a eunuch. Hey, it's my fault.

It’s my fault that you have been in a high position for a long time and look down on us villains. Tsk, tsk, villains should not be messed with, and villains should not be talked about."

After sighing, Zhao Gao returned to the palace. At this time, Hu Hai's complexion had improved a lot. Seeing Zhao Gao come in, he asked in a deep voice: "Has Li Si been taken into custody? Have you given an account?"

"Your Majesty, I have already explained everything. Li Si really wanted to collude with Fusu and had evil intentions." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao replied respectfully.

"I should have thought of Li Si's rebellion. He has asked me for orders several times in the past few days, hoping that Li You can lead the army. Alas - if I had thought more carefully, I would not have been deceived by him. I still trust him too much.

." Hu Hai whispered sadly, no one would feel good if they were betrayed by someone they trusted, not to mention that he, Hu Hai, was still the emperor of a country?

"Your Majesty cannot be blamed for this matter, it is because Li Si hid it too deeply." Zhao Gaowao persuaded.

Hu Hai nodded after hearing this. He looked at Zhao Gao and touched his chin with his right hand, seeming to be thinking about something. After a while, he said to Zhao Gao: "I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot live without a prime minister for a day. Zhao Gao, I originally agreed.

You will appoint you as the Prime Minister of the Right. However, since Li Si is now in prison, well, I will immediately appoint you as the Prime Minister of the Left, ranking first among the officials."

"Zhao Gao thanks your majesty for your trust. Gao will help your majesty solve your problems and do his best for our great Qin." After hearing this, Zhao Gao hurriedly walked out of the queue, then bowed respectfully and thanked him.

"Well!" Hu Hai nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Now I am physically and mentally exhausted. Who can know that I have everything to do every day? These fools are still slandering behind my back every day, which makes me very sad. Especially Li Si, I really feel

too tired."

"Your Majesty's achievements are not known to the ignorant people. Only when your Majesty spreads the prestige of our Great Qin far and wide, will these ignorant people understand your Majesty's wisdom." Zhao Gao flattered without leaving any trace.

Hu Hai was really happy after hearing this. He continued to point at Zhao Gao and said: "Fusu's movements are unknown now. According to Li Si's remarks, Fusu is going to lead the army. I have been thinking about it just now. Although Li Si has rebelled, but

It is undeniable that his analysis is very reasonable and well-founded.”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Zhao Gao will take precautions." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao frowned slightly and then said respectfully.

Hu Hai patted the latter's shoulder, sighed and said: "Zhao Gao, you are the only one I can trust. Don't let me down."

"Your Majesty, you only need to trust Zhao Gao. Now, all the ministers in the court are not telling the truth. They all hide the truth in their hearts and are unwilling to tell it to Your Majesty. And I, Zhao Gao, will never do it.

Hiding it from His Majesty, please trust only Zhao Gao in the future, so as to prevent false loyalty like Li Si from appearing again."

"That's very good. You will report all government affairs to me in the future. If any minister lies, you can kill him first and report later." After Hu Hai pondered for a while, he also ordered.

"No!" Zhao Gao immediately accepted the order and was very happy. Then he resigned and left. He immediately arranged for the guards to take all the people in Li Si's house to prison, and collected all the property under his own door.

As Li Si's Mansion was sealed, the entire Xianyang City officials were shocked and the people panicked. Many people speculated what had happened. Li Si was one of Hu Hai's most trusted confidants and was sealed today. Could it be that the latter had fallen out of favor?

?Many questions were swirling in the minds of all the ministers. It was really going to be a bad day.

The ministers also inquired about each other's information. When they heard that Li Si was imprisoned by Hu Hai, they were all very worried. Li Si was the head of the officials, and now they were all imprisoned by Hu Hai. How could they have a good life in the future?

What about the day?

By the morning of the next day, the whole meeting hall was filled with a feeling of depression. All the ministers stood respectfully and did not dare to speak. When Hu Hai saw this, he didn't think much. He looked at all the ministers now.

It's like looking at a layer of human skin covered with lies. Obviously, there is no trust between the monarch and his ministers. This is such a terrible thing. If the First Emperor knew about it, would he angrily withdraw from the Lishan tomb?

Climb out?

"Zhao Gao——" Hu Hai's deep voice on the dragon throne finally broke the oppression of the hall.

After hearing what Hu Hai said, many ministers secretly looked at Zhao Gao, only to see the latter coming out of the queue. Then they heard Hu Hai continue to say: "Li Si wants to lead an army to rebel. Now he has been imprisoned by me. But, I, Da Qin,

We cannot live without a prime minister for a day, so I appoint Zhao Gao as our prime minister of the left side of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Gao will receive the seal."

"No!" Zhao Gao bowed respectfully, then raised his hands to respectfully receive the Prime Minister's seal. In this way, he was the leader of the Qin officials, one person below ten thousand people.

When all the ministers heard about this appointment, they all felt in their hearts. This appointment of a eunuch as prime minister had never happened before in the past. Many adults were angry and wanted to refute. But thinking of Li Si's fate, they did not dare to do so.

Standing up to accuse, he could only swallow his anger and watch Zhao Gao happily receive the seal from the Prime Minister.

After Zhao Gao received the seal, he looked at all the ministers and couldn't help but feel heroic. Isn't it true that what a man like him pursues is rights. Only rights and the awe of others can allow him to find the sense of superiority as a man.

, even if he is not as good as others in some aspects, he wants to find his majestic appearance as a man from other places. Like a victorious rooster, he scanned the faces of the ministers, and every minister who saw him looked at him was stunned.

They all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. He was extremely satisfied with this.

"In the future, you and others will hand over the government affairs to Prime Minister Zhao, do you know?" Hu Hai asked again.

"No! We will remember your Majesty's words." All the ministers immediately saluted and responded.

"Well!" Hu Hai paused and then said: "I heard recently that Fusu appeared in Shangjun and that the emperor's brother is fine. I am very relieved. Yesterday, I ordered someone to pass the order to Shangjun and recall the emperor's brother. You and others will also want to

Be prepared for it.”

Hearing this, a minister came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the emperor's eldest son Fusu has a benevolent heart. If he comes back, your majesty will have another virtuous minister on his right and left."

"Yes, yes, he is indeed a wise minister." Hu Hai smiled happily and pointed at the minister and said, "The court will be here this morning. If nothing happens, please leave."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" At this moment, someone suddenly came out, bowed and held a white jade sign and said: "Your Majesty, I am old and suffering from many illnesses. Although I want to do my best for Your Majesty, I am heartbroken.

I have more than enough but not enough strength. I sincerely request you to resign from your official position, retire and return to your hometown."

Hu Hai looked at the old minister, and he knew that he was Shusun Tong, a doctor of Confucianism. Hu Hai didn't know what to do. He glanced at Zhao Gao and asked in a low voice: "This matter——, what does Prime Minister Zhao think?"

When Zhao Gao heard the question, he secretly thought about Shusun Tong's cleverness. He thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, since Dr. Shusun is sick, it would be a good choice to retire and return to his hometown. Zhao Gao thinks it is feasible."

"Then, as Prime Minister Zhao said, Shusun Tong, I will allow you to return home. In addition, in recognition of your many years of hard work for our country, I will give you ten pieces of gold as a reward." Hu Hai waved his hand and said decisively.

"Shusun Tong thanks your majesty for the reward." Shusun Tong cried bitterly and expressed his gratitude.

Afterwards, the court dispersed in the morning, and all the ministers saw Zhao Gao coming out of the meeting hall, and they all stepped forward to congratulate him. Zhao Gao also knew that many of these ministers were disloyal to him, but he would not hit anyone with a smile, let alone

The people who came to congratulate him returned the greetings one by one, and Zhao Gao said in a soft voice: "Ministers, we all want to solve your majesty's problems. We must not imitate Li Si's rebellious thoughts."

"Don't dare, don't dare——, we all take Prime Minister Zhao as our leader. In the future, we hope that Prime Minister Zhao will take the affairs of the Qin Dynasty as the main task and the people of the Qin Dynasty as the most important thing." Many ministers bowed slightly to express their stance.

"That's good." Zhao Gao nodded and said, "All ministers, please invite me." As he finished speaking, the group of ministers left one after another. Afterwards, Zhao Gao went to the prison in person.

I want to know how Li Si feels now that he sees him taking sole power.
