"Everyone, please stand down!" Ying Zheng waved his hand without making any decision.
Feng Quji was not panicked at all. In his opinion, the position of right prime minister was very certain.
First of all, he is the only capable veteran nobleman among the current Jiuqing level in the Qin State. He is qualified, capable, and has a background. Compared with outsiders such as Li Si, Xiao Xu, etc., he is naturally the weight that Ying Zheng uses to stabilize the internal affairs of the Qin State.
code.
Secondly, the three Feng family members are all dignitaries in the court, and they are a huge force in the Qin court.
Finally, he is the imperial censor!
What is a censor doctor?
That's all it takes to write the word "Qinggui" on the forehead!
"Lord Tingwei, please stay!" However, just as he reached the palace gate and said goodbye to Feng Quji, Zhang Han appeared in front of Li Si's car again.
"?" Li Si looked at Zhang Han doubtfully, but still bowed politely.
"Your Majesty invites you!" Zhang Han didn't say much, he just stepped aside to get out of the way.
Li Si instantly understood that this phase belonged to someone, and he was probably one of them!
"Wu'an Jun, Your Majesty invites you!" Zhao Gao on the other side left the palace again and came to Wu'an Jun's Mansion, one of the most splendid courtyards next to the palace.
"Has the Qi State gathered enough troops of 300,000?" Li Mu was lying on a soft couch basking in the sun. When he saw Zhao Gao, the palace servant who was in charge of the king's carriage, he asked in surprise, and then nodded, minding his own business.
He said, "After all, Wang Jian of Qi is not an ordinary king. He can control the entire Qi State. It is normal to gather an army of 300,000 in a short period of time."
Zhao Gao's lips twitched, are we playing a game? Three hundred thousand!
Could it be said that orders worth less than 300,000 yuan are not worthy of your taking a look and please leave you alone?
"Let's go!" Li Mu didn't change into his court uniform. After all, it was a private meeting and there was no need to change into formal court uniform. Especially as a state lieutenant, his court uniform was a cumbersome and complicated armor.
Li Si returned to the Qinian Palace ahead of Li Mu, and found that apart from Zhang Han who was guarding the palace, Zhao Gao, the chamberlain, was not there. Apparently, he had invited other important figures.
"My lord, Li Si pays homage to Your Majesty!" Li Si saluted again.
"Tonggu, how long have you been with me?" Ying Zheng did not let Li Si get up and continued to look at the memorial in his hand, but his voice came out.
"It has been more than ten years and three months since I first met His Majesty in Korea!" Li Si said without thinking.
"Ten years!" Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Li Si's answer and put down the memorial in his hand.
When Li Si followed him, he had not yet taken charge of the government, and there were few people in his team. Apart from generals like Li Xin, Li Si was the only adviser.
"Who does Tonggu think should be given this phase?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
Li Si knew that this was Ying Zheng's test. If he showed his desire for phase like Feng Quji, then phase would probably have nothing to do with him.
"The right phase respects the weight. Only those who have made great achievements and made great contributions can take over! Si thought that in the entire Qin Dynasty, only Wu'an Lord Li Mu and Long Lord Chenglong were qualified to take over!" Li Si suddenly saw Zhang Han pointing behind Ying Zheng.
With the Ding Qin Sword in his hand, he understood instantly.
In the entire Qin State, only Longjun Chengyu and Wuanjun Li Mu were in charge of the Ding Qin Sword. This was a reminder to him not to fight.
"Yes, it's a pity that Chenglong is stubborn and can't sit still, otherwise it would have saved me a lot of things!" Ying Zheng said with a sigh.
"What about the Left Prime Minister?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
"The power of the left prime minister is only lower than that of the right prime minister. With the same high position and authority, Si thinks that Lord Guo Kai, the top minister, and Lord Shi Xiaoxu, the prime minister in charge of Su Nei, are the most suitable ones!" Li Si continued, directly excluding himself.
After all, when it comes to merit and title, he is indeed not as good as Xiao Xu and Guo Kai, who have already been granted the title of Marquis, especially since both of them have made great achievements. Xu Xu was a military commander, although he later became a civil servant, but this is the real qualification.
Both civil and military!
As for Guo Kai, he was the foreign minister when he was in Zhao State. He later joined the Qin Dynasty and served as Dianke Qing. Later, he was promoted to the top of the ministers due to his merits. He was the head of the ministers, so it was appropriate for him to succeed him.
"Xiao Xu still has important things to do, and he won't be able to return in a short time, but the phase cannot be left empty!" Ying Zheng shook his head.
Although the phase is respected, the real power comes from the royal power. Even if Xiaoxu is not a phase, who dares not to respect him based on his resume of earning millions of gold that year?
"Then only Master Guo Kai is the most suitable!" Li Si hurriedly added.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si, and Li Si also looked at Ying Zheng with half an eyebrow lowered, his eyes unwavering, showing that he really didn't have any covetousness about the position.
"Has Tonggu forgotten himself?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with a smile.
"The State of Qin governs the country by law. Although various countries have always had Shangqing and Yushi as substitute ministers, the State of Qin is different. One of the two prime ministers of Qin must be a court official!" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and said seriously.
"Before Prime Minister Wang took office, he was also a lieutenant of our country, Great Qin. Even Prime Minister Wei briefly served as the deputy envoy of Tingwei!"
Li Si was stunned. He knew that both Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang had served in the Tingwei Mansion, but he did not expect that Qin State still had such a tradition in terms of phase.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that most of the prime ministers of the Qin State, starting from Shang Jun, have served as court officials.
"Your Majesty is willing to use Li Si, and Li Si will certainly not disappoint His Majesty's expectations!" Li Si still did not take the initiative to fight.
He knew very well that Ying Zheng might not be too afraid of other positions, but the phase was different, and the court was extremely dangerous, so the phase naturally had to be left to a trustworthy and capable person.
The most important thing is that the aspect is used to control the royal power. As a unified king, would Ying Zheng hope to promote someone who has always been against him?
"Take it!" Ying Zheng casually threw the seal representing the left prime minister on the document in front of Li Si, and then wrote a false word on the paper so that Li Si could see it clearly.
"Do you know what it means?" Ying Zheng asked after seeing Li Si carefully picking up the seal and seeing what he had written.
"Li Si understands!" Li Si nodded hurriedly.
This false word means that his position is not yet stable and he needs to show results to satisfy Ying Zheng and convince the courtiers, otherwise his position can be dismissed at any time.
"Then go and get ready for the year-end dynasty!" Ying Zheng knew Li Si's intelligence very well and would definitely understand his intentions.
He really wanted Li Si to take over as the left prime minister, but as Li Si said, in terms of qualifications, reputation, and achievements, Guo Kai was superior to Li Si. If Li Si was directly appointed or removed as the left prime minister, the entire dynasty would not agree to it.
However, it is easier to fake the left prime minister. After all, neither Xiao Xu nor Guo Kai is in the court, so Li Si can only take charge of the left prime minister's power.
If Li Si is really capable, then before Xiao Xu and Guo Kai come back, he must come up with a satisfactory answer sheet to convince the courtiers, and then remove the false word.
This is also a slap to Li Si, telling him that this position is not stable and asking Li Si to be cautious and reverent of power.
