Chapter 4 The opportunity has come, rebuild the road of intimacy
Li Mansion.
It is much more luxurious than Fusu Mansion, Huhai Mansion, and many princely mansions in Qin.
It can even be said that it is slightly worse than the imperial palace.
This was once the residence of Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State who was famous throughout the ages and was a business traveler.
Although Lu Buwei's family was confiscated and his family was exterminated, most of the things in the mansion except money were preserved.
After Lu Buwei's death, Qin Shihuang divided the power of the prime minister. Li Si was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo and moved into Lu Mansion, which is now the Prime Minister Zuo Mansion.
The left is respected, one person is inferior and ten thousand people are superior.
So most people call Li's Mansion the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Just arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Then I met Li Si’s second son, Li Zhan!
Li Si's loyalty to Qin is unquestionable, just like Lu Buwei's loyalty to Qin Shihuang.
But Li Si, like Lu Buwei, also has an unquestionable greed for power.
Although Li Si has great power today, he has no status in the military.
Therefore, Li Si asked his eldest son Li You to become his disciple and serve as the governor of Sanchuan County to enhance his prestige in the army.
Similarly, Li Si also had high hopes for his second son Li Zhan, who inherited his mantle, deeply cultivated Legalism, and served as the chief of Tingwei.
If you look at it from a long-term perspective.
Li Si's strategic plan was to let Li You at least seek a position of power with Taiwei, one of the three princes.
Li Zhan should at least rise to the position of prime minister.
Let’s put these aside for now.
Fusu made a fatal mistake from the beginning.
Stay away from Li Si!
Speaking from the perspective of future generations.
Without Li Si's support, it is impossible for Dad to inherit the throne of Qin!
It's obvious.
This is his father-in-law, his grandfather, an iron-blooded ally!
He should be the one who supports Dad the most in inheriting the throne!
"Second uncle!"
From a distance, Yingcheng pulled as hard as he could to meet Li Zhan.
Li Er has the final say whether you are close to the Li family or not.
The boss, Li You, can't be seen from the horizon, and Li Si can't reach it from the sky. Only Li Er can be seen at any time!
More importantly, Li Er has the final say on all matters of the Li family.
When Li Zhan saw Yingcheng, he was obviously a little surprised.
But Yingcheng was already running towards him. As an uncle, he couldn't turn around and run away. He could only go up to meet him:
"My minister Li Zhan pays homage to the prince's concubine and the young master of the city."
Seeing this, Yingcheng could only slander him in his heart, and Li Zhan distanced himself with just one sentence.
It was obvious that brother, sister and nephew met each other, but they had to do so as ministers.
"There is no need to be polite when visiting my brother!"
Li Xian is a smart man, although he doesn't know why his eldest son suddenly decided to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But at the very least.
She felt that they, mother and son, could not enter the Prime Minister's Mansion as the prince's concubine and eldest son.
He took advantage of the situation and stepped forward to help.
"Second uncle, second uncle!" Yingcheng wanted to get closer.
Can bear fruit.
Li Zhan looked at Ying Cheng holding the hand very close to him, and instead asked: "Acheng, why are you here!"
Listen to this sentence in reverse, that is.
You shouldn't have come at this time!
Especially since these words were said to Yingcheng.
But he was obviously questioning Li Xian.
Yingcheng didn't say anything, knowing that his mother was no better than his father.
He just poked his head into the Prime Minister's Mansion and handed the battlefield to his mother!
He is only ten years old.
What kind of bad thoughts can children have?
No one can stop it.
"My sister often thinks about her childhood and my father's health. She doesn't think about food and drink, and is uneasy, so she brings Cheng'er here to visit her relatives. It's my sister who didn't think carefully and didn't pass it on!"
Li Xian didn't cry in Fusu Mansion when the imperial edict was read out and he was grounded again, but at this moment, with tears streaming down his face, he held Li Zhan's hand and started crying.
Seeing this, Li Zhan could not open his mouth to refuse. He could only watch Ying Cheng walk into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and sadly invited Li Xiandao:
"Sister, come inside and talk!"
Li Xian held Li Zhan's hand and asked, "How are you doing, father?"
Li Zhan smiled lightly and said, "It's not bad!"
Li Xian continued to ask: "My father is approaching his 70th birthday. Has Brother Zhan organized a birthday party for my father? If necessary, my sister can come and help."
Li Zhan said hurriedly: "Thank you for your concern, sister. My father said that birthdays should be kept simple and don't need to be grand. Sister, I can rest assured and don't have to worry about it!"
Yingcheng, who was walking in front, almost stared at the sky speechless as he listened to Li Zhan's words, which seemed to have the effect of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
If Fusu and Li Si have a good relationship.
Whether he comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion or Li Xian comes to visit his relatives, it is just like walking into his own home.
There is absolutely no need to be like this!
Helpless!
I really don't know what dad thinks.
Even for the sake of his own throne, there is a prime minister of Qin Zuo, a brother-in-law who is in charge of the court, and a brother-in-law who is in charge of the military and political affairs of a county.
Instead of trying to win over others, they always rebel.
Even if you want to die, you won't do this.
Fine.
Since the old man doesn’t want to win over, he will win over!
Even that cheap dad doesn't care about his throne.
He also has to consider his position as prince.
As for how to win over!
Ying Cheng happily jumped up and down in the Prime Minister's Mansion, not feeling at all that this was not his home.
He needs an opportunity.
And in the midst of this jumping.
The opportunity has come!
The Prime Minister's Mansion must have been renovated, and under the guidance of the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, we arrived at the seven-in and seven-out reception hall.
I was deeply attracted by the stone carvings in front of the door.
"This is why Mount Tai does not allow soil to grow, so it can grow into its great size; rivers and seas do not tolerate small streams, so it can reach its depth; the king does not reject the common people, so he can understand his virtue!"
Stopped in front of this stone carving.
The footsteps of Yingcheng can no longer move even half a minute.
as if.
I was deeply attracted.
The stone is taken from the stone of Mount Tai!
The writing is Daqin Xiaozhuan!
The signature seal is ‘Qin Wang Zheng’!
It was the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty when the writing was started!
The weight of this stone carving is no less than a gold medal to avoid death, an iron coupon of alchemy!
"Young Master Cheng, Young Master Cheng!"
Butler Li couldn't help but stop and ask softly, but Yingcheng didn't seem to hear him and remained silent and ignored him.
until!
Li Zhan and Li Xian, who were greeting each other at the back, came together.
Ying Cheng sighed and shook his head.
"What a pity, what a pity, what a pity!"
Good guy.
As soon as these words came out.
Butler Li, who was nearest, had his brows furrowed.
If the person standing here was not Ying Cheng, this person would have had his legs broken and thrown out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But even so.
If Yingcheng cannot explain why today, then in the future, Yingcheng, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, will never be able to enter again.
Li Xian, who was following behind, sighed when he heard that it was a pity to win the city and stood in front of the stone carving to comment.
My heart skipped a beat and I became nervous.
If there is anything in this world that my father would value more than the lives of the entire Li family.
I'm afraid the only one left is the stone carving in front of me.
This is testimony to the Li family's fortune.
It was also the beginning of the Li family’s glory.
Ten years of the Qin Dynasty!
Dad's "Order to Remonstrate and Expel Guests" was adopted by the Qin Dynasty at that time.
Qin became strong because of this!
Because of this, my father rose to prominence and was trusted by His Majesty the First Emperor!
From then on, the Li family's position in Da Qin was as stable as Mount Tai.
And this stone carving.
It was His Majesty the First Emperor who was the King of Qin at that time, who personally gave the title to my father.
He was still young at that time, but he could already remember things.
I still remember that my father would hold this stone carving and wipe it every day, and even stop staring at this stone carving late at night.
And now.
This daring son actually complained about the stone carvings in front of Li Zhan.
This is a way to make the two families who are not getting along with each other even worse!
He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yingcheng Gourd, and Li Xian didn't dare to interrupt randomly. He just went up angrily and slapped him in the face.
"Cheng'er, please don't be rude. Come and pay homage to the stone carvings with your mother!"
Anyway, no matter what Yingcheng said later, she would tell the whole story first.
