Lin Ze read dozens of names in one breath, then stopped and said with a smile: "You won't find it difficult, right?"
Immediately, more than a dozen voices sounded in the audience: "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed."
Lin Ze chuckled and said, "That's good. Everyone, please enjoy the banquet in peace first. After the banquet, those who are willing to vent their anger on Mr. Hu Hai can go to the backyard."
"By the way, Mr. Hu Hai once said something very reasonable some time ago. I would like to share it with you. Mr. Hu Hai said: This world is like holding a banquet. The seats are limited, but some people are not here.
Only then can I get the next one, what do you think?"
Lin Ze's words were a disguised promise: Do you want to be in power? Do you want your family to take a step further? Just kill those guys who occupy positions and are enemies.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Ze said these words, many people's eyes shone with light.
There were threats and inducements, and Lin Ze had finished what he needed to say. Lin Ze immediately announced the start of the night banquet.
The night banquet lasted for two hours, before Lin Ze sent everyone away one by one.
Naturally, a simple banquet does not need to take such a long time, and it was done in less than half an hour. Lin Ze spent the remaining hour and a half in the backyard, and he very considerately divided the food for those who came to the banquet tonight.
The "cake" is ready, as well as various "bones" that are a little bit chewy.
The next day, some impatient forces started taking action according to the list.
However, the forces that firmly opposed Hu Hai were naturally not good and fought hard. Chang'an City gradually fell into turmoil. People died every day and families were destroyed every time.
However, due to the conflict between Chang'an Mansion and Tingwei Mansion, the forces affiliated with Hu Hai had more wins than defeats and gradually gained the upper hand.
…
Zhao Gao, who was dealing with affairs in Tingwei's Mansion, suddenly raised his head, glanced outside, and said to his men: "You please retreat first and guard the door. No one will be allowed in without my permission."
Come in."
When there was no one else in the yamen, Zhao Gaocai smiled, cupped his hands in the direction of the sky and said: "Everyone else has left. Since the Prime Minister is here, why don't you come out and see him?"
It was precisely because he sensed Li Si's unspoken aura, but did not see Li Si show up for a long time, that Zhao Gao understood and sent his men away before inviting him again.
As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Li Si's figure immediately appeared in front of Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, came here to meet with me alone today. I wonder if there is anything important to discuss?"
Li Si stood near the Yuan, standing in front of Zhao Gao and said coldly: "The chaos in Chang'an City continues, is Lord Tingwei planning to just stand by and watch without caring?"
Faced with Li Si's questioning, Zhao Gao's smile faded and he said calmly: "Can't you, Prime Minister, see that this is Young Master Hu Hai eradicating dissidents?"
Li Si's face showed an angry look: "So what? Does Hu Hai think that Fu Su is dead, so he can do whatever he wants? The laws of the Qin Dynasty are still there, and veterans like you and me are not dead yet."
Zhao Gao sneered and said: "In this case, the Prime Minister just steps in to stop it. With the power of the Prime Minister, if you really want to intervene in this matter, it won't be easy? Even Young Master Hu Hai may take the initiative to stop all activities to give the Prime Minister this face."
Li Si was speechless and said in a deep voice: "It is the duty of the Tingwei Mansion to maintain the laws of the Qin Dynasty. How can I overstep my authority?"
Zhao Gao's face immediately darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Is the Prime Minister joking?"
Li Si had previously blamed Zhao Gao for Fusu's death, which had already made him extremely disgusted. Now he wants to make him a gun-headed bird. Do you really think that Zhao Gao is a fool and can be bullied?
Seeing Zhao Gao's ugly face, Li Si knew he had made a mistake. He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "I remember Lord Tingwei once said that His Majesty might fake his death. Now you and I are letting Hu Hai do whatever he wants. When Your Majesty comes back one day,
I’m afraid the first one I can’t spare is you and me.”
Zhao Gao's eyelids drooped slightly and he said, "Why, Prime Minister, you don't believe me?"
Li Si shook his head and said: "It's not that you don't believe it, but that Sir Tingwei's behavior is too weird. Since you are worried about His Majesty's fake death, how could you ignore it or even help Hu Hai succeed to the throne?"
"I seriously suspect that Lord Tingwei is trying to trick me, or how much benefit did Hu Hai give you that you would help him like this?"
Zhao Gao replied indifferently: "Fusu is dead. If I don't help Hu Hai, who else can I help? Could it be that the Prime Minister wants to risk the disapproval of the world and establish a new king?"
Li Si's face froze, and he laughed and said: "Master Tingwei is joking. If I really dare to have such an idea, even if I am a master, I am afraid that I will be torn apart by those who are loyal to the Qin Dynasty."
"But now that we have said this, the truth is no longer hidden. If His Majesty really faked his death, you and I should advance and retreat together. What exactly do you think? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's return?
Are you asking for guilt?"
Zhao Gao heard this and stared at Li Sido closely: "Prime Minister, are you sure you want to advance and retreat together with me?"
Li Si said categorically: "That's natural. Now you and I are the only two grandmasters left in the Qin Dynasty. We should support each other. Although you and I didn't have a close friendship in the past, after all, we have been colleagues for hundreds of years, and we still have some friendship."
Zhao Gao was silent for a while, then he said: "It is precisely because I am afraid of His Majesty's questioning that I ignore this and even secretly help Master Hu Hai to act recklessly."
"Just imagine, if His Majesty comes back and sees that you and I are in control of the overall situation, and during this period, Master Fusu was assassinated, and Master Hu Hai was restrained many times by you and me, will you think that you and I are implicitly disobedient?
With all your heart, you want to deceive the king and ignore your superiors?"
Li Si suddenly realized: "That's why you secretly helped Hu Hai succeed to the throne and caused the established fact to tell your majesty that everything was done by Hu Hai, and you and I were just following orders."
Zhao Gao nodded and said: "Of course."
Li Si shook his head and said: "But you can't explain to His Majesty why you support Hu Hai and Fusu's death."
Zhao Gao smiled calmly and said: "Of course I can explain it clearly. Have you forgotten that I once told you that His Majesty left a "will" for Hu Hai to succeed to the throne? Don't you and I support Hu Hai just to obey his will?
?As for Fusu, he died in the hands of Hu Hai, and it has little to do with you and me."
"So as long as you and I firmly support Hu Hai's succession and obey his orders, we may be spared."
Li Si nodded and said: "Good." Then he said again: "It is not a problem to support Hu Hai's successful succession, but you and I don't have to show too much. Let's not talk about our identities. Naturally, we have to maintain our dignity and show too much.
If I pass, I’m afraid His Majesty will also become suspicious.”
Zhao Gao just looked at Li Si meaningfully, smiled and said nothing.
Li Si looked at himself and said: "For example, the Lin Ze next to Mr. Hu Hai is so arrogant and violent that he dares to threaten the truth in person. This person cannot be retained, otherwise he will bully you and me sooner or later. How about finding an opportunity to send him on his way?
"
Zhao Gao shook his head decisively and said: "No, I agree with all the comments made by the Prime Minister, but this Lin Ze, as Hu Hai's confidant, cannot die yet."
Li Si looked puzzled and said, "Why is this?"
Zhao Gao said quietly: "Don't you, Prime Minister, think that Fusu's death was Hu Hai's fault because he was bewitched by others? In my opinion, this Lin Ze is just the person to be the bewitcher."
