Chapter 61

Who, when plotting rebellion, would fear others not knowing?

Moreover, just as Ying Su said, based on my understanding of the First Emperor.

Whatever he intends to do, he must plan thoroughly before acting; once he strikes, it will be a thunderous blow, catching the opponent off guard and giving them no time to react!

Just like the matter of quelling Lao Ai!

At that time, the First Emperor already knew Lao Ai was planning rebellion, yet he pretended not to know, even traveling to Yongcheng to perform the coming-of-age ceremony!

When Lao Ai finally rebelled, the First Emperor directly ordered Wang Jian to launch a thunderous strike, eliminating Lao Ai, this source of trouble, in one fell swoop!

And then there was Lu Buwei!

While Lu Buwei remained completely unaware, the First Emperor had already secretly allied with Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Li Yao, and others.

By the time Lu Buwei realized what was happening, Lao Ai was already gone, and his power had already crumbled.

When attacking the Six States, it was the same!

Before Han could even react, its state was annihilated.

Wei and Zhao Guo met the same fate!

Before they could even prepare, Wang Jian's great army was already at their city gates!

By the time the mightiest Wei and Chu were destroyed, leaving only Qi, they collapsed without a single blow!

This is Ying Zheng's method!

Shouting loudly about rebellion like this is utterly out of character for the First Emperor.

That was truly just the First Emperor speaking in anger!

The more Li Si thought about it, the more he felt Ying Su was right!

At that moment, he could not help but silently blame himself, blaming himself for being too panicked, actually taking such a matter seriously.

Terrifying oneself half to death was nothing; the key was losing face in front of Ying Su!

Who knows if Ying Su might now think this Prime Minister is rash!

At this very moment, Li Si blamed himself again and again!

Yet at the same time, he could not help but admire Ying Su; this person truly possesses wisdom!

Even while I was in such a panic just now, he could still remain rational and analyze the pros and cons immediately!

Yes, I still remember the very first question he asked after I reported the Emperor's rebellion to him!

Has the Father Emperor left Outside Xianyanggong?

Yes!

If the person is still at Outside Xianyanggong, how can there be a rebellion?

At this very moment, thinking of all this, Li Si felt nothing but admiration in his heart!

Alas!

Admiration!

Truly admirable!

At the same time, he could not help but sigh that he had truly followed the right person!

Following such a wise person, my heart feels at ease!

At the very least, I truly need not worry about him being removed by Ying Zheng!

Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if Ying Zheng truly does remove him, so what?

After all, once Ying Zheng dies, the throne of Great Qin will still belong to Ying Su!

What? You say Ying Zheng might issue an order preventing Ying Su from succeeding?

Heh...

Let's speak the truth!

Prince Prince Fusu cannot compete with him!

Young Master Gao, Jiang Lu, and these others similarly cannot compete with him!

As long as he is Ying Zheng's son, as long as he does not die!

Then this throne will, sooner or later, belong to Ying Su!

Similarly, as long as Ying Zheng shows signs of rebellion, I will immediately advise Ying Su not to confront Ying Zheng directly!

Flee directly overseas!

After Ying Zheng dies, Ying Su will return with Li Yuanba to strike back!

At that time, he will be the true Emperor!

No one in this world will be able to stop him!

Regarding court political struggles, with my assistance, Ying Su need not fear anyone in the court!

Moreover, I represent the Legalist school, a force that has existed since Shang Yang's reforms!

Deeply rooted for many years, except for Ying Zheng, no one in the court can counter this force!

Regarding military strength, with Li Yuanba, what is there to fear?

I have no worries!

Following behind Ying Su is a good path!

Li Si sighed again and again.

Similarly, he grew excited again and again!

He felt his future becoming ever brighter!

Following behind Ying Su is absolutely the best path for me!

This path can take me very, very far!

At that moment, Li Si grew increasingly excited!

The light in his eyes grew ever more intense!

Before long, Ying Su brought Li Si to the room!

A pot of water was already boiling there; Ying Su directly brewed tea leaves for Li Si to taste!

When he first tasted it, Li Si could not help but frown; he only sensed a strange flavor!

It was not only bitter, but also had a hint of astringency!

Can this thing be sold for money?

Whose money is burning, willing to buy this thing?

Li Si could not at all agree with the claim that this thing could be sold for money!

But hindered by Ying Su's status, he dared not say it tasted bad, so he could only say it was not bad!

"Not bad? Then have a few more cups!"

Ying Su urged him on, and Li Si instantly made a bitter face!

But he still dared not speak, so he could only drink two more cups!

Yet it was precisely these two consecutive cups going down that made Li Si smack his lips!

When first tasted, this thing was somewhat bitter, but after several consecutive cups, fragrance actually began to arise between his lips and teeth!

"This... Your Majesty, this thing... is truly amazing!"

As he spoke, he praised; at this moment, he no longer needed Ying Su to urge him and directly began pouring for himself.

Before long, the pot of tea leaves was finished, and Li Si could not help but praise:

"This thing is truly... the more one drinks, the more flavorful it becomes!"

He was utterly shocked!

At this moment, he even wanted to brew it for himself!

And seeing Li Si like this, Ying Su could not help but laugh!

Tea is just like this; when first tasted, one only feels it tastes bad.

But as one keeps drinking, it gets to one's head, and once it gets to one's head, one cannot stop.

This is why so many people like to drink tea!

It is not that they truly like it, but rather, this thing has a bit of addictiveness!

"Then tell me, can this thing be sold for money?"

Ying Su asked him with a smile.

Li Si shook his head, indicating he was not very optimistic!

Because this thing is not as eye-catching as paper!
