Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

In the early spring morning, the sun lingered outside the woods, and the air was still cold. The trenches and dark thorns hidden in the forest divided two completely different countries.

And in the mist ahead, the majestic Xiongguan is looming.

That is the necessary pass to enter the Qin State - Hangu Pass, named because it is as deep and dangerous as a letter in the valley.

The road to the Qin Dynasty in the west is undulating, and there are many mountains blocking it. The bottom of the Hanguan Valley has become the only east-west flat passage in the nearby area. It is the throat of Luoyang in the east and Xianyang in the west. place.

Standing at the bottom of the valley, Hangu Pass has witnessed countless battles. The seemingly ordinary loess has buried unnamed bones under every inch of the land. Sprint shouts.

At that time, it was here that King Huai of Chu led the troops of the six countries to attack Qin. Qin relied on the natural danger of Hangu, causing the armies of the six countries to "bury millions of corpses and bleed to the oars".In the sixth year of Qin Shihuang, the armies of Chu, Zhao, Wei and other five countries invaded Qin, but the result was: "When they reached Hangu, they were all defeated."

Later, there was a poem by Du Fu that said:

Che Bibi, Ma Xiaoxiao, pedestrian bows and arrows each at his waist.

Yeniang's wife walked to see each other, but Xianyang Bridge was not seen in the dust.

Pulling the clothes, he stopped and cried, and the sound of crying went straight to the sky.

The new ghosts bother the old ghosts and cry, and the sky is overcast, rainy, and wet.

The rainy Hangu Pass was colder than usual, but the South Korean soldiers guarding not far from Hangu Pass were still vigilantly observing the Qin army inside Hangu Pass.

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes rattling gradually became clear, but the soldiers guarding the border did not show much surprise.

Since Qin Xiaogong, Qin State, which has gradually become stronger, has not stopped recruiting talents for a moment. Qin State's preferential treatment of sages attracts scholars from various countries. Scholars and businessmen who enter Qin through Hangu Pass every day, Generally there are not dozens, but there are more or less a few.

For such people, as long as they hold a pass issued by the government, the soldiers will not stop them.

"You can go."

After confirming that there was no problem with the pass order of the person coming, the soldiers gave way one after another.

The young man on the horse nodded slightly to the soldiers, and rode his horse across the border between Han and Qin. The figures of the two on one horse quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After walking forward for a while, looking at the gradually clear city, Li Si suddenly said.

"The Hangu Pass is in front of you. Once you enter the Hangu Pass, you have truly arrived in the Qin Kingdom."

"Have you been to Qin State?"

The child riding on the horse with Li Si asked curiously.

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a moment, but after a while, he answered vaguely; "I've been there..."

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Li Si's sleeve and asked.

"What is Xianyang like?"

The child's tone was a little anxious. For Zhao Zheng, who was only ten years old, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was the most prosperous city he had ever seen. But in such a place, Zhao Zheng lived in humiliation for ten years. Now, He urgently needs to know what kind of place he is about to go.

"Xianyang, it is a more prosperous place than Handan, more importantly, it is a place full of dreams, it can make all the impossible become possible."

For scholars in the world, Xianyang is not only the capital of Qin, Xianyang not only belongs to Qin, but also belongs to people with dreams in all countries.

Like modern people going to the United States, they flocked to Xianyang, Qin State, with their own Xianyang dream in mind, expecting to be appreciated here, to be appointed as princes and prime ministers, and then to make some achievements.

And Li Si in his previous life was once one of them.

Staring blankly at Hangu Pass in the mist, Li Si seemed to see the bustling streets of Xianyang again.

There, Li Si realized his lifelong dream, and he was honored as a Marquis and Prime Minister for a while. It was also there that Li Si ruined his life. All the wealth and achievements were not worth a piece of loess.

For Li Si, Xianyang is heaven, and Xianyang is also hell. Perhaps, Xianyang is just Xianyang.

"Why don't you go to Xianyang, you are not reused in Korea."

Zhao Zheng's immature voice interrupted Li Si's thoughts. Li Si smiled wryly. Although the future King Qin was only ten years old, his observation skills were astonishing. In just one night, he had already guessed that the owner of the mansion had no real power.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess, whether it is the pass to leave Xinzheng overnight or to leave South Korea, he only got it through Zhang Ping. What his Jiuqing did is not as powerful as the long history in the prime minister's mansion.

But even so, he couldn't leave Korea. In his previous life, Li Si owed Han Fei, and he absolutely couldn't leave until he paid off that debt.

Li Si sighed: "I still have some things to do."

Zhao Zheng asked again: "After finishing, will you go to Xianyang?"

Li Si didn't answer, he looked ahead in a daze, his eyes were deep and blurred, like a melancholy poet.

And Zhao Zheng didn't continue to ask. He was already full of doubts when he met Li Si's eyes. Why did this person send himself into Qin?When Qin was mentioned, why did this person's eyes seem to be reminiscing about something?

The Hangu Pass in front is getting closer and closer. Although he doesn't know anything about the person beside him, not even his name, but at this moment Zhao Zheng has already secretly said in his heart: "When I become Master Qin, no matter what method I use, I will let you go to Xianyang."

====

After sending Zhao Zheng away, Li Si hurried back to Xinzheng.

As soon as he returned to Xinzheng City, Li Si felt that something was wrong, but Li Si couldn't tell what was wrong.

When he got closer, Li Si suddenly realized what was wrong.

In the past at this time, the Xinzheng city gate was already full of traffic and people, but now... the city gate is a bit strangely quiet, and looking at the guards guarding the city gate, the number seems to be more than ten times that of usual.

All kinds of phenomena can only explain one thing, the whole city of Xinzheng is blocked.

The only person who has the right to do so is King Han.

Han Fei...Why did you do this?

Full of doubts, Li Si rushed to the gate of the city. After revealing his identity, the eyes of the soldiers suddenly widened. They took a step back slightly, as if they were frightened by Li Si. He came out, took Li Si's horse, and said respectfully: "My lord, wait a moment." After speaking, he left in a panic, leaving only Li Si and a group of soldiers staring at him.

Within a few minutes, Li Si saw an acquaintance—Han Li in armor riding towards here on horseback.

Because of the incident that day, Han Li, who had no relationship with Han Fei, had to stand by Han Fei's side. After Qin retreated, Han Li brought some soldiers back to Xinzheng to serve as the imperial guards defending Xinzheng City. Han Li is the new Wei Wei.

Seeing Li Si standing outside the city gate, Han Li's originally tense expression instantly relaxed a lot. He got off his horse, and the soldiers beside him also recognized his identity, and gave way one after another.

"General Han, what's going on?"

Li Si was very confused. Could it be that he had exposed the fact that the future King Qin would be released?But let's not say that no one knows the news about Zhao Zheng in South Korea. Even if they already knew, they wouldn't use such a "grand" posture to welcome themselves.

Han Li shook his head, leaned closer and whispered:

"Your Majesty learned that you rushed to Hangu Pass overnight, and he thought you were going to leave Han and enter Qin."

It was only then that Li Si realized how suspicious his behavior of sneaking out of Xinzheng and rushing to Hangu Pass last night was.
