Chapter 74 Veteran Xin Sheng

Prison.

It’s not anyone who wants to get in. Similarly, it’s basically impossible to get out if you go in, especially in a key prison like the Xianyang Tingwei Prison.

With Zhao Gao's special attention, Li Si and his son were actually no longer likely to be released from prison. The reason why Zhao Gao detained Li Si for more than a year was because he needed a suitable excuse to prove that Li Si was indeed worthy of killing and should be killed. He wanted to ruin Li Si's old opponent.

Now, the opportunity finally came. Zhao Gao couldn't help but want to see what Li Si would look like after hearing his son's rebellion.

That day, night.

A team of soldiers who were armed with armor from the Prime Minister's Mansion protected a carriage pulled by eight horses to the Tingwei Prison. The powerful Prime Minister Zhao Gao wanted to personally interrogate Li Si.

Repeated offender of the cell.

The heavy wooden fence was creaking and a ray of fire lit up in the dark prison. The prisoners who were imprisoned in the Dark Sky-Down Prison were in agitation and began to guess which unlucky person would be arraigned or beheaded today.

Next door to the cell of Li Si and his son, a thin young man grabbed Mu Len tightly at the edge of the cell, staring at the prison guards getting closer and closer, with flames of hatred flashing in his eyes.

After being imprisoned in the dark and wet cell for more than two months, Feng Xuan's strong body became thinner, his cheeks were completely gone, and even his back became slightly hunched.

The young imperial guards in front of the First Emperor, now the man who is waiting to be executed is now a man who is beating everyone and everyone can bully. Feng Xuan is unwilling to accept it. Hu Hai, the naughty boy who was beaten by him in the long street, obviously retaliated with the power of the emperor. How could such a person without ambition and ability be a good emperor and govern the country?

When the prison guard came in, Li Si was still writing hard. Prime Minister Li, who was immersed in obsession, no longer had the wit and freedom of being in charge of the government. At this time, he was like some ordinary old people who were in erosion in the wind, paranoid and delusional, right and wrong, right and wrong, no longer so important in his heart.

Just like Li Yuan, even though he knew it was born to him, he had been robbing the bell for more than 20 years. What if the genius of Shangcai, Li Yuan's mother was a low-ranking family? Is Li Si's reputation so important? So what if a illegitimate child who could not speak? Which of the great figures in Qin did not have a chaotic nature after drinking, even the First Emperor, the same is true.

Execution Hall.

Li Si, who was emitting a foul smell all over his body, met Zhao Gao, who had white and tender skin, and was well-maintained, five months later.

"Mr. Li, I still remember the Sa family. I have been in this prison for a long time and I should have gotten used to it!" Zhao Gaoni looked at her old opponent in a mess and felt relieved.

"Zhao Zhongfu, no, Prime Minister Zhao, what did the Emperor say after reading my memorial? I, Li Si, was wronged, I want to see Your Majesty." Li Si was stunned for a moment, then seemed to wake up, rushed towards Zhao Gao at all costs, and kept shouting.

"See Your Majesty, you are a prisoner, and you are worthy of seeing Your Majesty the Emperor." Zhao Gao sneered and spat at Li Si who had been captured by the left and right sides.

"Prime Minister, I, Li Si, are really wronged. My Li family has not rebelled and colluded with the enemy. I can use my life to guarantee it." Li Si cried bitterly.

"Li did not rebel, it's too early to say this. I have an urgent post here. I want to go through the preface. Your youngest son Li Yuan is leading his troops on the way to Xianyang. Do you want to listen to the slogan he called: Clear the king and eliminate treacherous ministers. Well said, clear the treacherous ministers around His Majesty the Emperor, haha-!" Zhao Gao said sternly. He had always wanted to capture the handle of Li Si's rebellion. This time, Zhao Gao finally slapped his old opponent hard without falsehood.

"What did you say? Who is Li Yuan? I don't know this person. There is no such person in our Li family?" Li Si stood blankly for a while, and suddenly exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Regarding who Li Yuan is, the Tingwei Mansion has its own evidence to prove that some things cannot be denied as long as they are done. Li's rebellion is conclusive and cannot be replaced. I, Zhao, should report it to His Majesty the Emperor truthfully. Li Cheng is quite trustworthy of my character." After Zhao Gao laughed, he left proudly.

"Li Yuan, my child is wronged!" Li Si sighed and lowered his old head dejectedly. He never liked this son, and he has been very twisted since he was a child, just like his dead mother with a strong sexual desire. He looked silent, but his heart was very dark-bellied.

In Li Si's eyes, a singer of Shang Cai was just a love-loving game, but she didn't expect that the woman had been madly entangled with him and threatened the child in her belly. It was really unreasonable.

——.

Li Si was heartbroken for Li Yuan's boldness in fighting for the Xianyang. The era of the last prime minister of Qin was about to pass, and a new page was slowly rising like the rising sun.

In just five days, Li Yuan's army fought against Liyi less than 100 miles from Xianyang, just like Hangu Pass, and the chaotic Xianyang shocked Yan Le. He repeatedly asked for reinforcements from the Qin garrison stationed in Lantian, Xiaoguan and other places. Finally, he finally gathered an army of more than 20,000 people to resist.

Liyi.

The county town at the foot of Lishan began to flourish due to the construction of Afang Palace. A large number of wood, pottery and ebony transported from the distant Bashu were transported to the construction site along the Wei River. Before that, they all needed to stay in Liyi and transport it ashore.

Such a city with abundant resources and developed water and land can provide the Li Yuan army with necessary supplies. After fighting from Luoyang for more than hundreds of miles, Li Yuan army's logistics supplies have begun to be in frequent emergency. The army stationed here is also making final preparations for the attack on Xianyang City.

On this day, Li Yuan welcomed a group of special guests at the army stationed in Liyi.

The elders of Guanzhong, led by the retired veteran of Qin State, came to greet the general Li Yuanjun who was under the banner of Qingjun, with rewarded livestock and other things.

Xin Sheng was once a general under Wang Jian, a famous general of Qin State. When attacking Yan State, Xin Sheng and Li Xin were both generals leading the army. However, during this Northern Expedition, Xin Sheng suffered from typhoid fever due to old disease and his body could not support him and had to retire from the army. After serving as the county magistrate for a period of time, Xin Sheng finally chose to return, hoping that he could lie on the land of his hometown when he was dying.
