Fusu used Ying Zheng's legacy as an excuse to block the edict calling him back to Xianyang.
As the eldest son, he was in the North, and with General Meng Tian at his side, he was a huge destabilizing factor for the center of the empire with Hu Hai as the center.
However, the current situation in the world is not optimistic, and we really cannot take action against Fusu or Mengtian. Once the Northern Army is provoked, it will really lead to the danger of national subjugation.
Anyway, Li Si can't think of any strategy at the moment to target Fusu while ensuring that there will be no civil war in the empire.
But since Liao took the initiative to invite him over for dinner, he must have made a plan in mind.
In just a short period of time, Li Si's mind had changed a thousand times.
"Alas, the bandits in Shandong are so powerful, the First Emperor is newly mourned, His Majesty is young, and the whole country is in turmoil. This is a difficult time to pass."
He sighed, closed his eyes and took a sip of wine.
"Li Xin, Li Zuoche, and Wang Li are all famous generals of our time. I wonder if the remnants of the six kingdoms of Shandong, who are either rough in the rivers and lakes or withered bones in the graves, can have any talents as generals.
What's more, it has only been two months since they started their army, and the soldiers they recruited are even less likely to be able to match the elites of the Qin Dynasty. Mr. Li, is it possible that this man is getting old and starting to worry too much."
Not to mention, the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty really developed to the point of threatening the Qin Dynasty's Guanzhong homeland in just two months.
From the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township to the final annihilation by the Qin Dynasty, it took only six months in total.
To break it down simply and roughly, in the first three months, the rebel army even reached Hangu Pass; in the next three months, the rebel army was annihilated one by one by the prisoner army led by Zhang Han. Wu Guang and Chen Sheng also
All dead.
There is nothing wrong with Liao's judgment, and his understanding of the various rebels is also correct. The three generals on the empire's side are taking action, and those rebels are by no means opponents.
"I hope it is as you said. Li Si's worries are unfounded."
Li Si began to eat in silence.
"Huh? This is Yifenglou's new famous dish. It's really fresh and delicious."
His reaction was not an act, but he really felt full after just one bite. This high-end restaurant is unique in Xianyang, and it truly deserves its reputation.
"This dish is called Ziyang Steamed Basin. Steamed Basin has a unique name."
Li Si pointed out the name of this dish with great interest, beckoned to the waiter and asked: "What is the origin and allusion of your Ziyang Steamed Basin?"
"Sir, Ziyang is the name of a place. In the hinterland of our Bashan Mountains, on the bank of the Han River, there is the mountain city Ziyang. This location is close to the Han River dock, and countless boatmen have their daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation on board.
The boat set off from the dock. The boatmen poured the meat and vegetarian food they had gathered into the big basin, covered it with a lid and started it on the fire. When it was about to reach the destination, they could open the lid and enjoy the delicious food, and then
Busy unloading.
Our chef was inspired by Hanshui boatmen to make this Ziyang Steamed Basin dish. No drop of water is added during the steaming process, and the juice of the ingredients itself evaporates and condenses in the pot. This dish takes four hours to be steamed.
, just now I can present it in front of adults."
The waiter was very smart, and his introduction was very clear, and he didn't feel any stage fright because of Li Si's identity.
This made Li Si even more interested.
"Brother, you said you are from Bashan. Could it be that the owner of Yifeng Tower is also from Bashu?"
"Your Excellency has hit the nail on the head. My master is Mrs. Ba Shiqing of Ba County."
Ba Shi, the first merchant in Qin State. Ba Qing herself is also in Xianyang now. It turns out that Yifeng Tower is her family's property.
Currently, the head of the Ba family is Xue Han, and the mountain ghost resides in Xue Han, using Ba family's power to find opportunities to restore his soul.
And Ba Qing was Xue Han's biological mother. The First Emperor allowed Ba Qing to enjoy the convenience of the No. 1 merchant in the empire, and at the same time he forced Ba Qing to stay in Xianyang as a hostage.
This is not an isolated case. When the empire unified the world, many wealthy people were forcibly relocated and settled in Xianyang.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the local administration of the empire, large-scale relocations of people were organized in the Central Plains.
These actions will kill people and are bound to arouse the resentment of the people.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Ba Qing. Li Si has been famous for a long time."
Li Si was not in a hurry anyway, so Liao invited him over for dinner, and he really started to eat and drink seriously. From time to time, he would also discuss how to make the delicacies in this case and what the details were. Anyway, he did not talk about political affairs.
After eating this meal for a long time, Liao could not find a chance to talk about the young master Fusu. He knew that Li Si probably wanted to maintain stability and did not want to cause trouble at this time.
So he simply stopped talking, and the two old men concentrated on enjoying the good wine and food, and each ate to their heart's content. The cordial dinner table scene made them feel as if they had been lifelong friends.
After they had finished drinking and eating, and said goodbye to each other, Li Si got on his carriage, rubbed his temples with his hands, closed his eyes and said to himself: "Huh, before going outside, you must first make peace with yourself. If there is any movement at this time, it will cause Fusu to
Or Meng Tian's vigilance, it will be a huge disaster. Xiao, you still underestimate the group of rebels in Shandong."
However, this is also good.
It has been twenty years, and my life, Li Si, is about to come to a glorious end.
In the history of China, His Majesty the First Emperor has been the emperor for eternity, and I, Li Si, should also be the Prime Minister for eternity!
…
When Li Si returned to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion, he met a man walking out in a hurry, carrying a medicine box. He immediately grabbed the man's sleeve and asked, "How is Tian Meng's injury?"
"My life is out of danger. I will rest for a year and a half and I will recover."
"Okay, that's his life. Thank you very much."
Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the man.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, has failed me. If there had not been your Majesty the Prime Minister in the past, there would be no Xia Wu and today."
This man held Li Si's hand and spoke sincerely. It was Xia Wuji, the imperial physician of the Qin State.
In the battle at Langya Palace, Tian Meng was able to challenge Chen Sheng's sword-fighting technique, one of the six unique skills of the peasant family, using the Giant Que Sword, but was severely beaten by Chen Sheng.
If Shen Yuanjian and Li Jing hadn't rescued him in time, Chen Sheng would have probably smashed Tian Meng into a pile of meat.
Fortunately, Xia Wuqi was a master of medicine, and Li Si had all kinds of precious medicinal materials, so Tian Meng's life could be saved.
"Xia Wuji."
"Hmm? Prime Minister, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Si rolled his eyes, then stared into Xia Wuji's eyes, and said cautiously: "When you are in the palace, remember to be careful of Zhao Gao, and do not have any disobedience to him. You must be more careful when speaking in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Be careful. Do not be stubborn."
Xia Wuji couldn't quite understand Li Si's extremely serious advice, but he knew that the Prime Minister would not harm him, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will be careful in my words and deeds."
Xia Wuji got on the carriage and left from outside the mansion. Li Si frowned deeply, stared at the retreating shadow of the carriage, and stroked his beard.
The end is near, it won't be more than a few months, I just hope everything will be fine.
In his heart, he prayed silently for Xia Wuji and for the fewer and fewer fellow travelers around him.
