There was a banquet in Wang Wan's mansion. Only Li Si and Zhao Teng came to attend the banquet. However, the three of them had no intention of drinking, but got together and whispered.

Wang Wan pondered for a while and said, "How strange, Chunyu Yue has been scolded by countless people recently, and the culprit seems to be Huai Guzi."

Zhao Teng nodded: "Yes, it is said that Huaiguzi collected 100 yuan of patent fees for each book. Afterwards, he pretended to take out 30 yuan to subsidize scholars. Therefore, Chunyu Yue's reputation plummeted."

Li Si stroked his beard and said, "That's strange. Didn't the two of them form a party? Could it be... they are covering up their eyes?"

Wang Wan shook his head slowly: "If this is to cover up people's eyes, Chunyu Yue will be too busy. This person's reputation is the best, and he will make Huai Guzi full of fame. He may not be willing to do so."

The three of them were silent for a while and whispered: "It seems that we had wronged Chunyu Yue that day, and he did not surrender to Huai Guzi."

Wang Wan laughed and said, "Whether we were wronged or not, we did that day."

"That day, we will be appointed as a crown prince. Whether this crown prince is Fu Yao or Fusu, it has nothing to do with us. When the new emperor ascends the throne, we will inevitably become marginal people."

The other two nodded with deep understanding.

Wang Wan said: "Now, the position of the prince has not been determined, so we have a chance. Next, we will choose someone and focus on supporting him. After he ascends the throne, can we not rely on us?"

Li Si said: "Who should we choose?"

Zhao Teng said: "The candidates for the position of crown prince are only Fu Yao, Fusu and Hu Hai."

Wang Wan thought for a while and said, "These three people have their pros and cons. Mr. Fusu is the oldest and generous and gentle to others. He is the best candidate for the throne. However, he has a very good relationship with Chunyu Yue and believes in Confucianism.

If he were the emperor, we would probably have no use."

Li Si and Zhao Teng both nodded.

All three of them are inclined to Legalism and have never been very fond of Confucianism. And those Confucian scholars do not trust them much.

It can be imagined that if Fusu became the emperor, he would probably alienate them.

Wang Wan said again: "As for Mr. Fu Yao, he is still young and has no sense yet. He seems to have no tendency. It seems that Confucianism can be used as well as Legalism. The only problem is that Huai Guzi is shameless and extremely treacherous.

Working with these people is a bit troublesome.”

Li Si said quietly: "Huai Guzi is used to taking odd moves and acting recklessly. If he works with him, he will probably be worried all day long and don't know what he will do."

Zhao Teng said: "Yes. Besides, working with such a villain, and future generations will mention me to wait. What should we say? Betray the thief? Become a traitor? Be a member of the world?"

Wang Wan and others shook their heads hard. The name behind them had to be considered.

The last one left is Mr. Hu Hai.

Hu Hai had the shallowest foundation in the court and did not get particularly favored by Ying Zheng. It was actually an accident that he was able to become one of the candidates for the crown prince.

Hu Hai's master Zhao Gao was inclined to the Legalists. Obviously, Hu Hai himself was inclined to the Legalists.

Wang Wan, Li Si and Zhao Teng looked at each other and said, "What do you think about Hu Hai?"

Li Si was silent for a while and whispered: "I heard that Mr. Hu Hai is a little cruel. One day, Mr. Hu Hai was taking a nap when he suddenly heard a burst of birds in the courtyard. He became angry for a moment and ordered someone to turn it over.

The bird fell down.”

"The bird flapped its wings and fled to another place. Mr. Hu Hai ordered people to climb up the tree and pick the bird's nest. There were three bird eggs in it."

"Young Master Hu Hai just waited for the bird to come back, and then smashed the three bird eggs one by one in front of it."

After hearing this, Wang Wan and Zhao Teng fell silent.

Zhao Teng whispered: "Young Master Hu Hai, you are irritable and irritable, and have a narrow mind. If he becomes the emperor, it will not be a blessing for the people."

Wang Wan nodded with deep understanding. Then he said helplessly: "The three people don't agree, what should I do?"

Li Si said: "I have a plan."

Wang Wan and Zhao Teng urged: "Tell me quickly."

Li Si said: "Actually, Fu Yao and Fusu are both very good. But their masters are just discouraged."

"We might as well take advantage of these times and use some tricks in secret. If we can defeat Chunyu Yue, then we will rush forward and become Fusu's masters. You and I will use our lives to make him lean towards the Fa-rage,

Then ascend the throne to emperor.”

Wang Wan and Li Si nodded.

Li Si said again: "If we cannot defeat Chunyu Yue, we will overturn Huaiguzi, and we will still rush forward to assist Mr. Fu Yao."

"At the same time, we must secretly win over Hu Hai. If both of those two fail, we will help Mr. Hu Hai. With the help of the three of us, are you still afraid that Hu Hai will not get the throne?"

Wang Wan asked, “Three-pronged approach?”

Li Si said: "Yes, three strategies are carried out at the same time."

Zhao Teng said: "This plan is wonderful, but if we can't defeat Huai Guzi and Chunyu Yue, will we really assist Hu Hai? If Hu Hai really becomes the emperor, then what should we do in the world...

?”

Li Si smiled slightly and said, "If Hu Hai became the emperor, you and me will be his great heroes in the timely assistance. How can he not rely on you and me? By then, wealth, power and power will be within your reach."

Zhao Teng laughed dryly: "What I am talking about is not glory and wealth. What I want to say is that if Hu Hai becomes the emperor, wouldn't it be a disaster for the whole world?"

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Brother Zhao is too kind to a woman. Throughout history, what is the use of those ignorant Guizhou leaders besides farming and obeying corvee service? They are the more bitter, and they are the more sweet.

If Brother Zhao can't bear it, then he will use his power to give them some benefits."

Zhao Teng remained silent, but felt in his heart that he and Wang Wan and Li Si were not from the same place.

However, the three of them had already discussed this and suddenly said they wanted to withdraw, but it was a little inappropriate. So they had to nod.

Let me listen to everything. Hu Hai may not be able to become the emperor. Why did he worry so early?

…………

A few days later, Li Si gave Ying Zheng a secret memorial.

In this memorial, Li Si said that he heard that Huai Guzi was running a school. Not only that, he even sent some people who knew the words and stuttered to the nearby villages to teach those ignorant Guizhou heads and stuttered to the text and stuttered.

Immediately afterwards, Li Si said that Huaiguzi's doing this will cause endless harm. First, the students taught by Shangjun Academy will take the imperial examination in the future. Once these people pass the exam, they will definitely be grateful to Huaiguzi and continue to do so.

All the officials and ministers in the court are from Huai Guzi. In the future, will the world be from Daqin?

Secondly, Huaiguzi let those Guizhou heads know the words and words. The ancient saying says that the people can use it, but they cannot know it. These Guizhou heads should have been confused and spent their whole lives. They only know how to pay grain and pay taxes, and serve military service and corvee service, so the world is

In order to be stable, the Qin Dynasty can be passed down forever.

Once they are allowed to read and read and understand some truths, they will inevitably have other thoughts. By then, the people's hearts will fluctuate and the world may change.

Immediately afterwards, Li Si proposed that it would be better to let Huai Guzi concentrate on studying alchemy and spreading immortal arts. As for national affairs and the affairs of Professor Fu Yao, someone else would do it for him.

After seeing this memorial, Ying Zheng immediately called Si Dun and asked one by one. Si Dun said that what was said above was true and it was true.

If it were in the past, Ying Zheng would be unhappy and become a little alert to Li Shui. However, some recent events have greatly improved Ying Zheng's view of Li Shui.

In Ying Zheng's opinion, Li Shui's proper handling of things already had a vague feeling of the pillar of the Great Qin.

Therefore, he just ordered a small eunuch to call Li Shui from Shangjun Villa.

After Li Shui arrived at the palace, Ying Zheng erased Li Si's name on the memorial and handed the memorial to Li Shui.

Li Shui looked at it very carefully and was speechless for a while.

Ying Zheng asked, "Huaiguzi, what do you have to say?"

Li Shui frowned and said, "Looking at the handwriting, it is strong and powerful, and the font is extremely beautiful. There is also a sense of confidence in the words of the memorials. It must have been written by a major official in the court."

"Dr. Chunyu is a square person, and I have an impression of his words. It seems that this is not his work..."

Ying Zheng was a little amused and crying: "I am not asking you to see your handwriting, and you don't have to pursue this person's identity. I am asking you to explain whether you have done what this person said."

Li Shui laughed dryly and said, "This person is very knowledgeable. The minister has indeed done these things. However, the purpose is very different from what he said. I am not trying to harm the world of the Great Qin Dynasty, but I want my Great Qin Dynasty to pass on the inheritance for generations.

”

Ying Zheng asked with interest: "Then come and listen."

Li Shui said: "All civil and military officials in the court have always slandered their ministers by playing with their lips and tongues. Today, the ministers do not intend to argue, and dare to ask His Majesty to go to Shangjun's villa to look at it. Listening to ears is false, and seeing is true."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "When will you leave?"

Li Shui said: "If Your Majesty is convenient, you can leave at this time. So as not to make preparations for some villains who are slandering me."

Ying Zheng did not refuse and immediately ordered someone to prepare a car.

Li Shui smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to invite some people who don't believe in me to take a look together?"

Ying Zheng said lightly: "This memorial is a secret memorial. Don't ask about his identity."

Li Shui said with admiration: "Your Majesty is so sensible. You can't hide any little thoughts from Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng: "..."

A quarter of an hour later, Li Shui followed Ying Zheng's car and arrived at Shangjun Villa.

Ying Zheng suddenly discovered that Shangjun Villa seemed to have been expanded a lot. Beyond the original courtyard, there was another large courtyard with a plaque hanging on it, saying: Academy of Sciences. It was full of various craftsmen.

Walking further inside, there is another large courtyard called Shangjun Academy.

There are classrooms dedicated to lectures and cafeterias for lunch. It is noon now, and the students are crowding together for lunch.

Ying Zheng said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go, pretend to be a new scholar, say a few words to them and find out the news."

The little eunuch agreed, changed his clothes and got involved among the students.
