This was the third time in his life that he had met the emperor.
He was very nervous.
"Your Majesty, may I ask what important matter you wish to instruct me on?"
"Ahem, let me ask you this: when Prime Minister Li sent you to see him off, did he tell you what he wanted to express in his letter?"
"Your Majesty, I have told you. My mentor said that the best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to flee."
"What? Running away is the best option?"
The First Emperor immediately looked at Gao Shu, who immediately understood and hurriedly ran out.
"Did Li really say that?"
"Your Majesty, that's what my mentor said!"
"How could that be? Why would he want to leave? I have treated him so well these past few days, why would he still want to leave?"
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, you can go now. Oh, and go back and tell Prime Minister Li that he can't leave yet. If he's determined to leave, he should be prepared to be chased back by my iron cavalry!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly convey your message!"
Mo Zhiyuan walked out of the palace.
My entire back was soaked with sweat.
He was so nervous just now.
As a result, the meaning that Li Lin meant when he said that the best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to flee was not revealed.
pity.
The speaker meant no harm.
But the listener was attentive.
"Could it be that this brat is resentful of me for not dealing with Ying Lin, the mastermind behind his assassination attempt, all these days? So he's trying to run away? No, it seems I have to capture Ying Lin and bring him to him. Otherwise, if he's determined to escape, I won't be able to keep an eye on him!"
The First Emperor suddenly realized the problem.
After all, in his subconscious, he didn't think that Li Lin deliberately wrote a letter that he couldn't understand.
certainly.
He's overthinking it.
The real reason was that Li Lin was writing while lying face down, which caused his wound to arch upwards. When he exerted force, he would feel pain, resulting in terrible handwriting.
Normally, when a person lies on their stomach and writes, their handwriting is particularly ugly.
In addition, because of the wound, it's already difficult enough to write a few words on paper.
"Your Majesty, this old servant just checked and found no trace of Prime Minister Li's intention to leave. Even the people monitoring him reported back that he was reading a book and did not make any unusual moves!"
"Hmph, Gao Shu, you're foolish! I ask you, if you plan to escape, what unusual measures will you take?"
"this......"
"The more normal he acts, the more abnormal he is. He might run away tonight!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do? Prime Minister Li is so clever; if he wants to escape surveillance and run away, this old servant has no way to stop him!"
"That's true!"
The First Emperor nodded, agreeing with Gao Shu's assessment.
If Li Lin really wanted to escape, there really wouldn't be anyone who could stop him.
"Quickly, Gao Shu, before nightfall, arrest all the ministers suspected of trying to ambush him last time, then come with me to see him and see if we can change his mind!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, that is the Minister of the Imperial Clan! Minister of the Imperial Clan is your elder. If we arrest him, it will damage your reputation!"
"Hmph, the situation is urgent now, and besides, this old Zongzheng is of bad character. I have long disliked him. If it weren't for his help to me during Lü Buwei's time, helping me to take power and kill Lao Ai, I might have already beheaded him!"
"Then this old servant will go right away!"
"Yes, go ahead, the sooner the better!"
"promise!"
At this moment, Li Lin was reading the original text of Zhuangzi.
This "Zhuangzi" is not a later alteration or a version with missing parts, but a genuine "Zhuangzi" about the Daoist school of thought.
"It turns out that Zhuangzi was not a self-destructive person, and his thoughts were not as negative as later generations interpreted them to be. Haha, these Confucian scholars actually tampered with Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts, replacing all the key words in the Tao Te Ching, causing Laozi's meaning to be completely changed. It seems that Zhuangzi was not spared either. Poor Zhuang Zhou!"
Li Lin couldn't help but sigh.
If only these things had been passed down to future generations.
well!
It's all Xiang Yu's fault for that fire! Xiang Yu really was a pig!
This resulted in the loss of a large part of the pre-Qin culture.
"My dear teacher, my dear teacher, His Majesty has sent me to deliver a message to you."
"What? What does His Majesty want to say?"
"His Majesty said that you cannot leave now. If you do, he will have the Qin cavalry capture you and bring you back!"
"Clam?"
Li Lin stared wide-eyed at the white-haired Mo Zhiyuan in front of him, wondering why he couldn't understand what Mo Zhiyuan was saying.
Your Majesty should reply and cooperate.
Why would you say that?
There must have been some mistake.
"Does Your Majesty really say that?"
"Master, how dare I distort His Majesty's words? That would be a capital offense!"
"That's true!"
Li Lin nodded; he was somewhat confused.
What's going on?
Just an hour later, he was still puzzled.
Suddenly, the First Emperor, accompanied by a large number of Qin soldiers and guards, rushed into his room.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Hahaha, you little rascal, what do you think I'm going to do? Didn't you want to run away? I'm right in front of you now, do you still want to run?"
