Chapter 10 When did I allow you to commit suicide?
Seeing that Ying Heng looked calm after hearing this, and even looked at him with interest, Li Si became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his mind was extremely confused.

"Sir, there is still time to leave the city. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you will regret it!"

Li Si was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Ying Heng smiled leisurely, looked at Li Si with interest for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"Even though he could not protect himself and faced the disaster of the extinction of three clans, he was still worried about the safety of the Qin Dynasty. This shows how sincere Prime Minister Li is to the Qin Dynasty."

"It's just that his talent is mediocre, and it seems that he doesn't deserve the reputation."

"Humph!"

"Zi Yi, come here."

With the sound of footsteps, a woman in purple with a graceful figure and beautiful face walked slowly over, holding a long wooden box with brass edging in her hand, and respectfully presented it to Ying Heng.

Ying Heng opened the wooden box, took out the yellow silk edict from it, and slowly unfolded it. Lines of familiar handwriting gradually emerged, until finally, the solemn jade seal came into view.

At this moment, Li Si felt as if the entire space had frozen, with only the words on the will that he was so familiar with appearing one by one.

When he saw the last stroke, his originally anxious and irritable face froze instantly, and he was completely dumbfounded.

this……!
Isn't this the will that Zhao Gao and I tampered with and forged? !

Li Si raised his head stiffly and looked at Ying Heng in astonishment, his eyes full of horror and astonishment!

Li Si's words were forced out of his throat with difficulty, his voice filled with disbelief and horror.

"Sir...how did this will fall into your hands?"

Li Si unconsciously revealed awe in his words, as if the Thirteenth Young Master in front of him possessed a mysterious power to see into the future, and the fate of the Qin Dynasty would be in his hands with just a wave of his sleeves.

Ying Heng did not explain too much, but simply responded: "Prime Minister Li, are you convinced now?"

"I... am convinced."

Li Si's answer was full of determination.

"I have no official position or rank yet. Am I worthy enough to meet you, the pillar of the Qin Empire?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "you".

"I am guilty of this! You are truly a genius, the true savior of the Qin Empire, but I am ignorant and short-sighted, not even a fraction as good as you!"

"The great Qin can have you to turn the tide. Even if I die, I will be able to rest in peace!"

Li Si gazed at Ying Heng with admiration, and when he expressed his final thoughts, his expression suddenly became relieved and relaxed. The Qin Dynasty had hope, and he died without regrets.

Then he stood up resolutely and ran straight towards the pillar next to him.

boom!
However, the expected severe pain did not come as expected, but instead a soft cushion was felt.

Li Si looked up and saw a plain pair of shoes in front of him, and he was stunned.

The purple-clothed figure moved slightly, retracted the foot that had just blocked him, and his face was full of disgust.

"When did I give you permission to commit suicide?"

Ying Heng's cold words once again confused Li Si.

As the founding prime minister of the Qin Empire, Li Si firmly believed that his great achievements were worthy of being engraved in the history books and becoming a model for a generation of famous prime ministers.

However, all this glory pales in comparison to his and Zhao Gao's conspiracy to rebel.

At this moment, Li Si only wanted to die to atone for his sins, hoping to wipe out the last stain in his life and gain a good reputation after his death.

"My lord, I have committed serious crimes and deserve the death penalty according to the law. I beg you to consider my past hard work for the Qin Dynasty and grant me a decent ending." After saying this, Li Si resolutely rushed towards the pillar, wanting to die to show his determination.

Suddenly, Ying Heng's casual words were like a wake-up call, which instantly froze Li Si in place. The shock was even greater than the soft whisper of the woman in purple.

"Don't you want to save your three tribes?"

Li Si's body was slightly tilted, his neck stretched out, as if he was nailed in mid-air by an invisible force.

These words were like a thunderclap, stirring up ripples in his heart that was on the verge of despair.

As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Li Si had reached the highest position among the officials in the country, and he also had a family foundation to maintain.

Although he was willing to die for the sake of the Qin Dynasty, he was unable to take the decisive step when faced with a problem concerning the survival of his family.

The Li family's incense inheritance cannot be cut off because of him.

Li Si turned his head with difficulty, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and stared at Ying Heng with expectation.

"May I ask, sir, what should Li Si do to protect the three clans of the Li family?"

Ying Heng looked directly at Li Si with sharp eyes and spoke with forceful voice.

"According to the laws of the Qin Empire, you should be sentenced to death, and your entire clan should be implicated."

"But now that my Great Qin is in turmoil, I am in urgent need of talents. If you can make up for your crime and make meritorious contributions, I may consider sparing the lives of some of your people."

Li Si was such a smart man that he immediately understood Ying Heng's intention.

This Thirteenth Young Master was actually planning to dominate the entire Qin Dynasty!

First, he eliminated Zhao Gao to prevent future troubles, then he seized the edict to prevent chaos, and now he is holding on to his own weaknesses to force himself to be loyal.

What a great skill in planning and strategizing!

Li Si sighed in his heart and bowed deeply.

"From today on, I will follow you everywhere, and obey your orders!"

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully conquering the left prime minister Li Si, and the reward is 1,000 kilograms of hybrid rice seeds, and 1,000 kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes. ]

When Ying Heng heard the system prompt, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Very good."

I thought to myself: The 3,000 kilograms of seeds as a reward are indeed quite valuable. It would be even better if you could give me some fertilizers next time.

With this in mind, since he had Li Si's service, Ying Heng had more plans and arrangements. He whispered a few confidential words to Li Si calmly, and then signaled Li Si to leave.

The door to the bedroom creaked open slowly, and Li Si walked out of the palace. His clothes were disheveled and his hair was messy. It was obvious that he had gone through a fierce psychological struggle and decision.

Li Si looked radiant, as if he had been reborn. Although he looked disheveled, he could not hide his excitement. Outside the palace, civil and military officials and young masters gathered together, numbering dozens.

At this moment, they were silent, just like students when their head teacher suddenly stepped into the classroom. They all held their breath, their eyes focused on Li Si, as if they wanted to discover endless secrets from him.

In this tense atmosphere of staring at each other, time seemed to stand still for a few breaths.

Suddenly, one of the ministers who had spoken earlier shouted loudly.

"Prime Minister Li, why are you wasting your precious time on that bastard?"

"Shangdang, Julu, and Dongjun are now suffering from severe famine, and the people are starving. How can we solve this problem? Please give us a quick answer."
