Chapter 156 Father and Son Confrontation
"The future of the Qin Dynasty?" Li Si sneered, "Who do you think you are? Can you decide the future of the Qin Dynasty?"
"I naturally cannot decide the future of the Qin Dynasty, but I believe that Prince Fusu is the best candidate to inherit the throne."
Li You looked at his father with burning eyes.
"He is an upright and benevolent man with the talent to govern a country."
"If he can inherit the throne, he will surely lead the Qin Dynasty to a more prosperous future."
"Prosperous?" Li Si snorted disdainfully.
"Do you think that weak and incompetent Fusu can bring prosperity to the Qin Dynasty? He will only lead the Qin Dynasty to decline!"
"Father!" Li You raised his voice, "Prince Fusu is not as weak and incompetent as you say.
He has his own persistence and ideals, and he longs to bring a better life to the people of Daqin.
Please give him a chance, and also give Daqin a chance."
Li Si looked at his son's determined eyes and face full of determination, and his heart couldn't help but waver.
He knew very well that Li You was a smart and independent child, and his choice might really make sense.
However, as a father and a politician, he could not accept that his son made such a major decision behind his back.
"Li You, do you know how much trouble your actions today will bring us?" Li Si said in a deep voice.
"How should I explain this to Hu Hai? If Fusu really takes the throne, how will he view our Li family?"
When Li You heard Li Si's accusation, he took a deep breath and responded calmly.
"Father, I understand your concerns, but please hear me out."
Li Si frowned, obviously angry and puzzled by his son's behavior, he said coldly.
"Tell me, I want to hear what you have to say."
Li You said calmly, "Father, I am in the court now."
"Although on the surface Fusu's power is not as strong as Huhai's."
"But have you ever thought that Hu Hai's position was actually built on the foundation of Zhao Gao?"
Now that Zhao Gao is dead, Hu Hai has lost his greatest support, and his power is no longer as strong as before."
When Li Si heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He did not expect his son to analyze the situation so thoroughly.
But he still said stubbornly: "Even so, Hu Hai is still a prince after all. How can his status be shaken so easily?"
"Father, don't forget that Prince Fusu is also a prince, and he is the eldest son."
Li You said slowly, "More importantly, he has the talent to govern the country and a benevolent heart, and he is deeply respected by the people and ministers."
"Isn't this prince more qualified to inherit the throne than Hu Hai?"
Li Si was silent for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.
He knew that what Li You said was true, but he still held a glimmer of hope for Hu Hai.
After all, he had a closer relationship with Hu Hai, and Hu Hai had also promised him many benefits.
"You'er, do you know why I have always supported Hu Hai?"
Li Si finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"It's not all about profit, but I am impressed by his determination and ambition."
"He longs for the throne and is willing to pay any price for it. Such determination may allow him to go further."
"Father, determination and ambition are not everything," Li You retorted.
"Prince Fusu also has his determination and ideals. He is eager to bring a better future to Daqin."
"Isn't this ideal more worthy of our pursuit than Hu Hai's ambition?"
Li Si looked at his son's determined eyes and couldn't help feeling a little shocked.
