Chapter 123 Meeting
Hu Hai was secretly happy, but remained calm on the surface.
"Lord Li Si, do you want to lend me a helping hand?"
Li Si nodded: "That's right. But this matter needs to be considered carefully. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Hu Hai sat in the main seat in the study, his brows furrowed and his face unhappy.
Li Si stood below with a normal look on his face, as if he was already accustomed to this kind of scene.
"Li Si, are you here today just to tell me this?"
Hu Hai said in a cold tone, with a hint of anger, "Fusu is the crown prince and the regent, so I naturally know that his position is higher than mine. What's the point of your analysis?"
Li Si smiled slightly and said slowly, "Second Master, calm down."
"I am not here today just to tell you these obvious facts."
"Rather, I want to discuss with you how to find a way out for you in this complicated situation."
Hu Hai snorted and raised his eyebrows, "A way out? Do you think I still have a chance to turn the tables?"
"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared."
Li Si said slowly, "Although Prince Fusu's position is stable, he is not invulnerable. The forces in the court are complicated and everyone has his own plans. We just need to find the right opportunity to turn the tide."
When Hu Hai heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but then dimmed again.
"But now Zhao Gao is dead, and I no longer have any capable assistants in the court. How can I fight against Fusu alone?"
Li Si shook his head and said, "Second Master, this is wrong."
"Although Zhao Gao is dead, there are still many useful people in the court."
"As long as you are willing, I can help you make more allies."
Hu Hai's heart moved, but he remained alert: "Oh? Are you willing to help me?"
"nature."
Li Si nodded. "Although I have never been close friends with you, I have always admired your talent and courage. The situation in the court is delicate now. I think forming an alliance with you will be beneficial to both of us."
Hu Hai was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, he raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Okay! I will form an alliance with you. But I want more than just an ally, I want a partner who can conspire for great things together."
A trace of approval flashed in Li Si's eyes: "Second Master is indeed a man of few words. I, Li Si, will do my best to help you."
The two smiled at each other, although there were still calculations and guards between them.
After the alliance, Hu Hai's mood improved significantly.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked towards the Qin Palace in the distance.
Li Si stood quietly by the side, waiting for Hu Hai's next instructions.
"Li Si, what do you think we should do now?"
Hu Hai turned around and looked at Li Si with burning eyes.
Li Si pondered for a moment and slowly said, "First, we need to consolidate our power in the court."
"Although Zhao Gao is dead, his influence in the court is still there. We can take this opportunity to win over those officials who were on good terms with him."
Hu Hai nodded: "That makes sense. Although Zhao Gao is treacherous, he does have a group of loyal followers."
"Secondly," Li Si continued, "we need to keep a close eye on Fusu's movements."
"He is now the Crown Prince Regent and holds great power. We must always be vigilant of his actions."
Hu Hai snorted coldly: "Fusu always thought that he was deeply loved by his father, so he could rest easy. But he didn't know that there is no eternal favorite in the Qin Palace."
