Chapter 27 Li Si's Attitude Towards Gong Ziyuan
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Chariot Officer Zhao Gao was beaten to death by Prince Yuan in the palace!"

Inside the Zhangtai Palace, an eunuch hurried to the palace gate, then tremblingly slowed down his pace and began to report.

His Majesty the First Emperor frowned slightly and slowly turned around.

In an instant, the eunuch felt a chill rising from the bottom of his spine. He was already timid, and now he was trembling even more.

Seeing this, Dun Ruo, who was serving the Emperor, said quickly, "Tell me what's going on!"

Those who could serve as attendants to the Emperor Qin Shi Huang were all extremely intelligent people.

If His Majesty the First Emperor had asked the question in person at this moment, the matter would have been brought to the surface.

"I don't know either. I just went to the Sixth Young Master's Palace to remind him to attend court meetings on time."

"Then, screams were heard from inside the palace."

"Then, an old man came out holding the Sixth Young Master's Seal and refused to allow the guards to enter."

"Inside the palace, the Central Chariot Officer screamed miserably, and there was also a dull thud that made one's teeth ache, and the sound of stone slabs breaking."

"I was terrified and asked many questions. An old man just came out of the palace and said that the chariot officer had been beaten to death. I came back to report to Your Majesty!"

The eunuch spoke quickly, sweat pouring down his forehead.

You know, in the Xianyang Palace, the eunuchs regarded Zhao Gao as the highest eunuch!

But now, he was beaten to death by the Sixth Prince. It would be strange if he, a small eunuch who followed Zhao Gao, was not afraid.

After listening to this, Dun Ruo didn't say anything, but just stood aside.

His Majesty the First Emperor waved his hand slightly, and then said quickly: "There is nothing for you to do now, please leave."

After hearing this, the young eunuch felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly took his leave.

Watching the eunuch leave, Dun Ruo frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, do you want to summon the Sixth Young Master for questioning?"

This sentence is Dun Ruo's greatest kindness.

When questioning in Zhangtai Palace, there could still be some father-son affection. Even if Gongzi Yuan really made a serious mistake, within a certain range, he might be given a lighter sentence.

But if it happened in the Qilin Palace, according to the law of the Qin Dynasty, anyone who kills someone will be put to death!

Even if Gongzi Yuan is a young master, he will probably be imprisoned until death!

Unexpectedly, His Majesty the First Emperor simply said: "Yuan'er is lazy by nature, but I know that he is smart."

"Since he killed Zhao Gao, he must have his own explanation."

"The Qin Law is a public instrument. It is announced to the world in the Qilin Palace. What private words can there be?"

"Dun Ruo, go to Qilin Palace and announce the start of the court."

After hearing these words, Dun Ruo was slightly stunned, and then quickly responded: "Yes!"

Then, he retreated away, muttering to himself.

By doing this, Your Majesty, you are pushing Gongzi Yuan in front of everyone. If he says something wrong, he will end up in disgrace.

I just presented you with a warhorse suit yesterday, and today I made such a huge mistake.
My lord, you are really good at finding trouble!

Looking at Dun Ruo's departing figure, His Majesty the First Emperor frowned slightly.

Outside the Qilin Hall, all the civil and military officials felt something was strange.

Why does it seem like there's someone missing today?

"Is the Minister of Chariots sick today?" Finally, a general with a scar on his face scratched his head and asked with some confusion.

After this question was asked, everyone finally understood what was strange.

There is a dog missing at the door! The Zhongchefu Ling opened the door.

"Zhang Yunlong, everyone gets sick sometimes, and that's normal. Didn't you arrive at the military camp half an hour late because of the 'fierce battle' a few days ago?"

"Shut up, you bastard, I was just hiding in the dark on purpose to see how the soldiers were doing!"

When General Scar heard someone slandering him, he became furious.

"What's the fuss about?"

Wang Jian frowned and scolded, and the two of them immediately shut up.

Even though this God of War of the Great Qin Dynasty doesn't seem to care much about the affairs of the court, he is, after all, their old general. During the wars back then, who didn't survive the beatings under this old general?

If you really act unruly in front of this old general, you will definitely experience the feeling of being a small soldier again.

On the contrary, Li Si first stood in front of all the officials with Feng Quji, and then looked at the Qilin Hall with a frown.

According to common sense, even if something happened to Zhao Gao, he should have sent the bamboo slips to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to ask for leave.

But he didn't receive any bamboo slips!
"Li Si, what are you thinking about?"

Feng Quji spoke calmly.

Feng Quji ignored those ministers from aristocratic families and instead looked at Li Si a few more times.

Li Si smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Feng, I am only thinking about the taxation of Anyi in Hexi this year."

Mr. Feng, the real face. These four words have already explained many things and many attitudes.

After hearing this, Feng Quji knew that he was just making up a story, but it was inconvenient to expose it, so he could only say: "In this case. I thought that when Master Yuan presented the warhorse suit yesterday, you, Li Si, would think more about it."

"Apart from the issue of military strength, what do you think of Gongzi Yuan, Li Si?"

When it came to the second half of the sentence, Feng Quji had already begun to test the waters.

Everyone in the court knew that Fusu was deeply influenced by Confucianism, which had some deviations from the doctrines advocated by the Legalists.

In particular, people like Chunyu Yue and Shusun Tong often talked about "feudal reform", which was contrary to the "county system" proposed by Li Si.

This also led to the fact that Li Si always maintained a public attitude of monarch and subject towards the eldest prince Fusu.

Now that Gongzi Yuan has appeared, Feng Quji wants to know whether Li Si has any other ideas.

people,
Only when you have ideas will some loopholes be revealed.

Li Si still had a smile on his face: "Prince Yuan presented the Great Qin Army's divine weapon to the country, so Li Si naturally praised him!"

It was another brief remark, but Feng Quji was satisfied in his heart.

If you don't say it, isn't it the same as saying it?
If there is really no thought in my mind, why should I avoid it?
"Wow! You guys are here so early!"

At this moment, a clear voice sounded. It was the key figure discussed by Feng Quji and Li Si, the Sixth Prince of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Yuan!
At this moment, with a gentle smile on his face, he slowly walked towards the ministers, and nodded to the ministers who saluted from time to time.

When this voice sounded, all the civil and military officials had only one thought: Is it time to go to court?

That's right! If it was a coincidence once, then Gongzi Yuan's visit to Qilin Palace had become a fact that everyone had "verified once".

Ying Yuan's appearance at this moment can only mean one thing: the court meeting seems to be too late.
