Chapter 321: The King
Wang Wan looked at Li Si deeply and said, "I have started to talk about the Three Kingdoms in the Exiled Immortal Tower for the second time, and the price is very reasonable. I have heard it several times."
Li Si didn't say anything. He knew very well that a person like Wang Wan would not talk about the Three Kingdoms for no reason. He must have his own purpose.
Sure enough, Wang Wan smiled slightly and said, "There is something that has attracted my heart among these Three Kingdoms. When Cao Cao attacked Liu Bei, I did not send troops because I was not a royal family. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao, I did not send troops because I was not a nobleman of the three generations of four generations. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, I did not send troops because I did not think about usurping the rebellion. When Cao Cao attacked me, no one sent troops to help me."
Li Si smiled slightly and said, "The book of the Three Kingdoms is profound and profound. Princess Weiyang is really talented. Women are not as good as men, and this is true."
Seeing that Li Si was talking to each other, Wang Wan simply made it clear: "I have been thinking recently that some things in the court are actually similar to the Three Kingdoms."
"When Huai Guzi first came to Xianyang, who saw him? When he killed Ma Lingshu, we stood by our side, when he killed Wang Li, we remained silent. When he killed Zhao Gao, we gloated."
"Now in a blink of an eye, we are about to kill us. But looking at the court, how many people can compete with him? Once we lose, will there be anyone else talking to us?"
Li Si looked solemn, nodded and said, "In the past, Chunyu Yue was in front and was entangled with Huai Guzi. If Chunyu Yue also defected to Huai Guzi, then it would probably be our turn next."
Wang Wan sighed: "Yes. Even if the banished immortal does not have the intention to kill us, he is necessary to guard against others. If he does not have the power to protect himself, how can he be at ease in his heart? The meat on the chopping board is not that easy to make."
Li Si said: "What the Prime Minister means is, you and I form an alliance?"
When Li Si said this, he felt a little reluctant. He always regarded himself very well and felt that relying on his own abilities, he could be like a fish in the court.
If you have allies, you will have the opportunity to be implicated. Especially not long ago, Zhao Gao was killed by a group of stupid allies. His knowledge is not far away and is vivid in my mind.
However, Wang Wan smiled slightly and said, "The alliance may not be necessary. You and I have done our best for the Qin world, and there is no need to form cliques. We just help each other. When we are framed and in danger, we can just stand up and say justice."
When Li Si heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It is worry-free to do things with smart people.
Seeing that Li Si agreed, Wang Wan looked around and said, "Now, there is another Zhao Teng in the court, and we will ask him."
Li Si agreed.
The two walked to Zhao Teng together.
Zhao Teng was just watching Chunyu Yue appear ugly and was in a happy mood. Suddenly, he found that Wang Wan and Li Si were walking over with a mysterious look on their faces, and his heart suddenly became sank.
Zhao Teng asked in a low voice: "Sir, what happened to you, two sirs?"
Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other. Then Wang Wan whispered: "I heard that Lord Zhao Teng, I've made friends with the exiled immortal a few months ago?"
When Zhao Teng heard this, he almost fainted. What he hated the most was that others said that he had something to do with Huai Guzi.
If someone else had said this, Zhao Teng would have kicked him. But now standing in front of him were two important officials in the court, and Zhao Teng dared not act rashly.
He gritted his teeth and said, "These rumors were deliberately spread by the shameless man Huai Guzi. Don't be deceived by him, two lords."
Wang Wan exclaimed and said, "In this way, Lord Zhao is not Huai Guzi's best friend?"
Li Si said from the side: "It seems that Lord Zhao is quite dissatisfied with the exiled immortal."
Zhao Teng said: "This person ruined my reputation, so I naturally dissatisfied with him."
Wang Wan nodded, then whispered: "Now, I am willing to help Brother Zhao and prove my innocence. Is Brother Zhao willing?"
Zhao Teng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "How to prove it?"
Wang Wan said: "Everyone is an official in the same court and will inevitably have different political views. If you are dedicated to the country, it will be unhindered. However, some people like to act recklessly and make people commit crimes of corruption. Therefore, there is no peace in the court."
Zhao Teng was not a fool either, and immediately understood that these two important officials in the court were also afraid of Li Shui.
He did not laugh at these two people. After all, who is not afraid of a lunatic like Li Shui?
Li Si took Wang Wan's words and said, "So, I discussed with the Prime Minister. We are peaceful on weekdays. We can have political disputes and debates with each other. But if someone wants to harm others, we must unanimously and help each other. As long as Brother Zhao speaks for justice a few times, who can't understand?"
Zhao Teng nodded immediately: "Okay."
Then, Zhao Teng looked at Li Si and Wang Wan with some surprise: "Two sirs, you can keep your temper the most on weekdays, why do you have this today?"
Wang Wan sighed: "Don't Brother Zhao figure it out yet? Chunyu Yue went to Shangjun Villa three times a few days ago. What did he do? What was he important? There was only one possibility. The two had conspiracy and reached a consensus. Most of the people they were talking about were the candidates for the prince."
Zhao Teng asked strangely: "How do you know that they reached a consensus? Maybe the two sides had an unpleasant talk? So Huai Guzi and Li Xin deliberately humiliated Chunyu Yue."
Li Si smiled slightly: "Brother Zhao still hasn't seen through Huai Guzi's character. The dispute over the prince will be involved in the near future. If they have not agreed, Chunyu Yue will be Huai Guzi's enemy. What is the method of the exiled immortal treating the enemy?"
Zhao Teng said: "Eliminate it and get it quickly."
Li Si nodded: "Now he is just playing with Chunyu Yue, this is clearly the treatment of making friends."
Zhao Teng said deeply: "It's reasonable, it's reasonable."
Then, the three of them smiled bitterly: Look at the life of the exiled immortal. The enemy killed him directly, and friends could tease him casually. Is there anyone in the world who is more happy than him? Sometimes when I think about it, I really think the word "humble and gentleman" is a big burden.
Li Si said to Wang Wan and Zhao Teng: "So, after the court starts, you and I will not only oppose Huai Guzi's proposal, but also Chunyu Yue's proposal. Most of these two people are from the same group, whether it is Fu Yao or Fusu, no matter who is made the crown prince, these two people will probably benefit."
Wang Wan and Zhao Teng both nodded and agreed.
…………
Chunyu Yue had already paid the money and stood in the distance with a pale face.
Everyone knows that Chunyu Yue is in a bad mood now and dares not touch his bad temper. This way, the old man is even more lonely.
Li Xin looked at Chunyu Yue not far away and whispered to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, I feel a little overwhelmed. Although Chunyu Yue embarrassed me many times in the past, after all, I am a martial artist and have a thick-skinned face. I laughed twice and passed. But he is different. A square gentleman, are we too much today?"
Li Shui rolled his eyes: "Didn't you laugh so happily just now? What kind of good person are you pretending to be? You are a girl's neighbor and want to establish a chastity archway."
Li Xin sighed.
Li Shui whispered: "Brother Li. Guess why I was going to mess with you today?"
Li Xin said: "This is not simple? Of course, you have not harmed others recently, and you feel a little itchy."
Li Shui was a little helpless: "You underestimate me. How could I be that superficial? I did this for the sake of the people of the world."
Li Xin was so stupid that he was teasing Chunyu Yue. Has it also affected the people of the world? He suddenly realized that adding ten pieces to one of them was not as thick-skinned as Huai Guzi.
Only Li Shui heard said, "Your Majesty is going to make a crown prince. Who do you want to be the crown prince?"
Li Xin said: "Of course it is Mr. Fu Yao. We have the best relationship with Mr. Fu Yao. If he becomes the crown prince, he will have a care in the court in the future, so there is no need to worry all day long."
Li Shui said: "Then do you think Fu Yao has a great chance of becoming the prince?"
Li Xin thought for a while and said, "It's great, of course it's great. After all, Fu Yao is deeply loved by His Majesty, and he was the first in the imperial examination."
"However, Your Majesty is a very calm person. Love is love, and governing the country is governing the country. For the sake of national stability, he may choose the Prince of Fusu. First, Fusu is the eldest son, and it is reasonable to be the prince. Second, Fusu is generous and kind. After ascending the throne, even if he cannot be a hero, he will always be able to maintain his achievements, and the Qin Dynasty will not be in danger. Third, Fu Yao's age is too young after all."
Li Shui smiled slightly and said, "So do you think His Majesty will choose Fusu as the crown prince this time?"
Li Xin nodded: "It's very likely."
Li Shui said: "What if the ministers object?"
Li Xin was stunned for a moment: "Why do the ministers object? Of course, if the ministers object, Your Majesty may think about it before making a decision."
Li Shui said with a smile: "That's right. Why did we promote Chunyu Yue to come to Shangjun Villa five times and three times? It was to give them an illusion that they thought that Chunyu Yue had made me acquaintance."
"Imagine if I had a good relationship with Chunyu Yue, they would definitely feel that Chunyu Yue was too powerful. If Fusu was the crown prince again, their status would be in danger. Therefore, they would definitely object."
"As long as Your Majesty does not choose Fusu today, we can use the next time to carefully cultivate Fu Yao. The longer the time, the older Fu Yao is, the greater the chance of him being made the crown prince."
Li Xin was amazed at the ear: "So that's it, Brother Huai is so clever."
Then, Li Xin asked in confusion: "Since your purpose is to promote Chunyu Yue and enter Shangjun Villa. Then you can just promote it directly, why do you still tease him?"
Li Shui chuckled: "I'm going to tell you that I haven't harmed anyone for a long time, and my hands are indeed a little itchy."
At this time, a little eunuch came over and said loudly: "The time has come, and the political discussion has begun. Please ask all officials to enter the palace."
Then, the gate of the Anglophone Hall slowly opened and all officials entered one after another.
…………
Hu Hai sat in the bedroom, his nervous palms trembling.
All the officials entered the palace to discuss matters, and today they may have to decide the candidate for the crown prince. The other young masters will be sent to various places to be kings.
Of course, what Hu Hai was nervous about was not whether he could be the crown prince. He was more self-aware and knew that he probably would not have the position of the crown prince.
What he was nervous about was what king he would be and where he would be king. If he was going to Han, Zhao and Wei, it would be better. If he arrived in Chu, wouldn't he jump into the fire pit?
Just when I was nervous, Ji Ming came.
Hu Hai was dying and went to the doctor for a sudden visit and asked Ji Ming: "Ji Ming, where do you think I will be sent to be the king? No one in the palace dares to tell the truth. I want to listen to your truth."
Ji Ming is currently studying how to make a fortune. He found that flattery is very important. So he has been practicing this recently.
Now that he heard Hu Hai’s question, Ji Ming said naturally: “Young master, I think you can’t do anything. You can be the prince.”
When Hu Hai heard this, he was furious and jumped in front of Ji Ming, swung his arm and slapped him in the face: "Do you dare to mock me?"
Ji Ming was so shocked that he was dizzy that he thought bitterly: "Since Huaiguzi entered the capital, from princes and nobles to the people, he really likes to hit people more and more."
…………
In the Political Consultative Hall, Ying Zheng looked at the civil and military officials and said lightly: "I want to enfeoff my children as kings, what do you think?"
Wang Wan stood up first and said, "I think Chu, Yan, Qi, Wu, and Zhao are located in a remote place and the people are unstable, so they should be appointed as kings."
Ying Zheng nodded deeply with consent.
Li Shui then stood up and said, "I think there is something wrong with the Prime Minister's proposal."
When Wang Wan heard this, she immediately looked at Zhao Teng and Li Si. The three of them had the same thoughts: Huai Guzi and Chunyu Yue were indeed an alliance. Now they are impatient to attack the Prime Minister?
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "What's wrong?"
Li Shui said: "Chu, Yan, Qi, Zhao, and the four places were once the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. They were powerful. If the young masters were sent to be kings, they would have a different intention. Even if the court could quell the chaos, it would be a good thing to have soldiers and misfortunes, and their lives would be ruined, and their flesh would be destroyed."
Wang Wan said unhappily: "The former title of a king was also a suggestion of exiled immortals. Today, the exiled immortals suddenly opposed the title of a king again. Can national affairs be played like this? Can national government orders be changed every day?"
Li Shui smiled and said lightly: "I am not against the title of kings. I just opposed the Prime Minister's way of being crowned with kings."
Wang Wan held her breath and didn't say anything.
Li Shui continued: "Chen suggested that the land of Chu be divided into five, Zhao be divided into three, Qi be divided into three, Yan be divided into two. In this way, the strength of the kings is greatly weakened and no one can rebel. Once the powerful rebellion of the six kings, the kings can unite to suppress the rebellion."
