"Your Majesty, Lord Tingwei would like to see you."
"Li Si, let him come in."
"yes."
Li Si quickly walked into the hall and saluted Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty."
"Why did the Tingwei enter the palace?"
From Ying Zheng's voice and tone, it seemed that he was in a good mood. Li Si calmed down and took a firm step, "Your Majesty, Tian Guang, the heroic hero of the Chu Kingdom, caused trouble in Xianyang. He was put under supervision and the arrest was unsuccessful. As a result,
Lord Changping died, and the traveler's wine shop started a riot, causing great harm to our reputation in the Qin Dynasty.
Si believes that the Imperial Master is far away in Handan and is working extremely hard to govern the Zhao land, so he cannot be distracted. It is quite inappropriate for the Luowang organization in Xianyang City to continue to be under the command of the Imperial Master."
Ying Zheng couldn't help but look at him twice, was silent for a breath, and then nodded: "Well, what you said makes sense. The national master who governs Zhao really has no time to take into account the traps in Xianyang City. So, do you have any
A better candidate?"
"Tingwei's Mansion can take this position." Li Si said and straightened his back.
"What a great Tingweicheng to take on." Ying Zheng smiled inexplicably, stood up and walked down the hall, "Li Si, you were still a Tingweicheng back then, and you had not yet become famous all over the world with the "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion of Guests"
.I once asked the Imperial Master who was qualified for the post of Tingwei. He recommended you."
Li Si's eyes flickered, remembering that during the expulsion incident, Lu Yan had indeed taken the initiative to give himself the credit.
but……
Junior brother, senior brother, I also have my own ambitions. You are younger than me and more talented than me. I have always been below you. I will never get ahead in this life!
He took the initiative to raise his head and looked directly at Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor may have some kindness to Li Si, but monitoring Xianyang and even the world with a net is a first-class state matter. Li Si will never dare to ruin it for personal reasons.
male."
Ying Zheng was a little surprised that Li Si dared to look directly at him without concealing his burning ambition. He saw some clues and suddenly waved his sleeves, "Gai Nie."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ge Nie understood, and everyone in the hall evacuated, leaving only the monarch and his ministers.
When Li Si saw that there was no one else around, even Gai Nie had gone out, he immediately fell to his knees, threw himself on the ground, and said, "My minister, Li Si, is guilty."
Ying Zheng walked up to him and stood with his hands behind his back, "I forgive you for your innocence. Tell me, what are you hiding?"
…
In the seventeenth year of the Qin Dynasty, in January of Yisi, Yingzheng investigated the murder of Lord Changping in Xianyang. Qin's secret service organization was once again assigned to the Tingwei Mansion to perform the functions of supervising the capital and supervising all officials.
The first prime minister from a humble family, Li Si, was talked about by scholars of later generations, and he took a crucial step on the current ladder of national power.
This day is also regarded by many as the beginning of Qin's entry into the power of Prime Minister Li Si.
…
Lu Yan sent a message to Mo Ya to take hundreds of birds to Zhao to make up for his manpower shortage. It turned out that this was a good move, and the Xianyang snare was directly picked up by the Tingwei Mansion.
"So, you're all here?"
He looked at the white phoenix in front of him who had a look of not being approached by strangers and the smiling ink crow, and sighed helplessly.
Mo Crow took out a scroll of silk and a letter, "This is the edict of King Qin, and there is another letter written by your good senior brother." When he mentioned Li Si, he curled his lips frivolously.
Ying Zheng’s edict? Someone else didn’t send it to you, but it was given to you directly!
Lu Yan's heart moved, and he took the scroll from his hand. After reading it word for word, the inner strength of his hands surged out, and he burned the edict completely in an instant.
"Sir!" Mo Ya looked confused. The King of Qin's edict said to burn, burn it. What kind of operation is this?
Doubt flashed across Bai Feng's blue pupils, but he did not make a sound.
Lu Yan then read Li Si's letter and said with emotion: "The Xianyang snare returned to the Tingwei Mansion, and Zhao Gao, who lost his arm, became the leader of the snare. Haha, I feel that many things have changed, but they have not changed."
Zhao Gao became the leader of Luowang. In fact, he was demoted.
Zhao Gao's official position was the order of the central government, and he was the person who arranged the itinerary for Ying Zheng. At the same time, Zhao Gao himself was extraordinary in literary talent, proficient in law, and highly skilled in martial arts. He accompanied Ying Zheng almost every step of the way and won Ying Zheng's trust.
This means that he is a eunuch with a long-lasting reputation. For any other person, he would be a perfect template for the protagonist.
For him as a eunuch, the biggest advantage was that he could always be by Ying Zheng's side. However, as soon as he recovered from the injury suffered by Han Shen's sword, he received the news that he had been transferred.
Zhao Gao commanded the Xianyang Luowang and obeyed the orders of Tingwei Li Si. The Tianzi First-Class Party directly under Lu Yan simply gave up his position to the eunuch brought by Zhao Gao and ran back to the Imperial Prefecture to live with his wife.
Tianzi First Class Tian Meng hesitated again and again, but finally chose to stay in this trap. He joined the Qin State's national division who had the power of the Qin State, not just Lu Yan.
"Now that you are all here, it will be easier for me to do things here. There should be very few people in the world who are more capable than you two. I want you to help me monitor one person."
Bai Feng's eyes narrowed and he responded instantly: "Who."
"It actually requires the two of us to go on surveillance together." Mo Ya knew very well the importance of this surveillance mission, but he still easily put his arm around Bai Feng's shoulders and said with a wink, "We have to go on a mission together again. Do you miss me, kid?
.”
Bai Feng tilted his head slightly and at the same time patted down his hand on his shoulder.
Seeing the brotherly affection between these two guys, Lu Yan smiled softly, "The target is Zhao Ling, Prince of Pingyuan, the grandson of Zhao Sheng, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period. I suspect that he hides a lot of strength. You two are worth a million dollars.
Be careful and never alert the enemy."
"This is my old business of eating, don't worry, sir." Mo Ya assured.
Bai Feng gave a better guarantee: "Give me some time to tame the birds in Handan. They have the best eyes and will not attract anyone's attention."
"Train the birds~" Lu Yan was very happy that Bai Feng had finally grown to this point. With the help of birds, Bai Feng could be called the top spy in the world.
"Very good, your progress is surprising." He praised Bai Feng, and then warned: "But don't worry too much to keep an eye on it, so as not to be exposed. I have a hunch that we will be with this Zhao Ling for a long time.
Pull.”
"Understood, sir."
"You go ahead."
"yes."
After sending Mo Ya and Bai Feng away, Lu Yan's eyes became stern.
"No wonder the Qin State was crushed to death not long after it swallowed up the world. On the surface, the central government's decrees were indeed implemented, but for the people at the bottom, many of the decrees they received were actually contrary to the central government's original intention."
Lu Yan threw the people he had gathered into Zhao Di like a net, and it didn't take long for him to receive sporadic returns. In the local area, some laws were slightly distorted by artificial interpretations.
The common people are almost all illiterate, and their understanding of laws comes from the propaganda and teachings of the government. This thing is a test of execution ability and is very easy to be exploited by those who are interested.
At present, Lu Yan is famous for his evil reputation. This phenomenon is not easy to show harm. Once time goes by, the harm will have penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
"There are still not enough talents, and there are not that many officials who can be thrown to the grassroots to support the structure of a complete county system. Phew~ Just wait a few more years."
