It's just not completely healed yet.
In particular, before Xia Wuju left, he repeatedly instructed the First Emperor to avoid sexual intercourse as much as possible.
This made the First Emperor, who was standing to the side, blush with embarrassment but couldn't help laughing.
It remains a vivid memory for him to this day.
That old geezer is truly hateful, but his daughter is quite good. She has a good personality, is understanding, and is well-educated and polite, which makes him think of Fang Yi'ai from the Tang Dynasty, who was also a princess's husband.
Why is he so unfortunate?
I've run into a guy like Gao Yang.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Master, Han Xin has been captured!"
"Where did they take them?"
"Imperial Prison!"
"Oh? That's normal. I knew His Majesty would do that, but he did it much faster than I expected."
Li Lin was not surprised.
It is certain that Han Xin was captured.
Because he violated the Qin law, even if the First Emperor wanted to protect him, the court officials would not agree. Arresting him would actually protect him, while not arresting him would make it easier for the court officials to attack him on this matter.
Moreover, it is not conducive to promoting the new law.
"Dear teacher, aren't you worried?"
"Don't worry, His Majesty won't do anything to him, and nothing will happen to him. By the way, is there anything else? Just tell me."
"It's like this..."
"What?! Han Xin, that idiot! He actually dared to confront his superior in public? Resisting the law is a major taboo!"
Li Lin was stunned.
People generally say that Han Xin's political skills were not very good.
Looking at it now...
It really isn't very good.
No wonder he died at the hands of Empress Lü. Don't underestimate Empress Lü just because she was a woman and Liu Bang's wife.
She's a master of political maneuvering.
Han Xin, a military genius and a master strategist, was a complete novice in political struggles and was no match for Lü Zhi, an expert and professor-level figure.
Now, they've made this fatal mistake again.
"What should we do, dear teacher?"
"Alas, what's done is done, and it's too late to stop it. Here's what we'll do: quickly notify the censors of the Censorate and have them write memorials impeaching Han Xin, the more they scold him, the better. Also, after you return from the Censorate, go directly to the Court of Justice and have them submit memorials saying that they see the shadow of Prime Minister Li Lin behind Han Xin's eccentric behavior, and write as many memorials as possible that allude to me!"
"Huh? What are you doing?"
"You don't understand. No emperor likes his ministers to be perfect. If someone is too perfect, without any flaws, shortcomings, or selfishness, how can the ruler trust them?"
"What does my mentor mean? To establish a particularly prominent weakness in oneself?"
"Indeed, people's flaws are nothing more than money, power, and lust. As for lust, since I've married a wife, bringing so many beautiful women home at once won't convince His Majesty that I'm insatiably lustful. And as for power, I've always shown no interest in it, so His Majesty certainly wouldn't believe I'd suddenly become power-hungry..."
"My teacher, you're saying you're greedy?"
"That's it! Let them accuse me of plotting to steal my wealth and kill me, that I'm after the vast riches of the Lü family of Julu. Alright, stop standing there, go now!"
"promise!"
Mo Zhiyuan immediately went out as ordered.
Manyin, who was serving tea, looked at Li Lin with great curiosity and asked in confusion, "Husband, since you have smeared yourself for being greedy in order to protect yourself, isn't your student Han Xin still imprisoned in the imperial prison?"
"Oh, Madam, you don't understand. Public opinion can be manipulated. Why did Han Xin exterminate the entire Lü clan? Was it really just because Lü Ying insulted His Majesty? No, no, no, it was actually because his teacher, Li Lin, coveted the Lü family's wealth, and thus persecuted them to seize their property. Think about it, in this way, hasn't Han Xin gone from being the principal offender to an accomplice?"
"But in that case, wouldn't my husband become the principal offender?"
"Hahaha, Madam, you don't understand. I need them to come after me, because there's a rebellion in Chu!"
"What? A rebellion has broken out in Chu?"
"His Majesty received the news three days ago, and now all the ministers in the court and the country are still in the dark!"
Li Lin smiled without saying a word.
They rebelled.
Someone has to go and quell the rebellion.
Who's going?
He had just committed a serious crime, and used this as a reason to request to go to war and atone for his crime through meritorious service.
Would the First Emperor refuse?
Definitely not.
It would be best if someone could solve the problem.
Incidentally, let Han Xin have a chance to shine in the Qin court and among the people for his military achievements.
"You naughty husband, you actually foresaw this situation all along. You want to use them to send you out to quell the rebellion, gain military merit, stabilize your position, and emulate Lü Buwei in the past."
"Hahaha, my lady, you are truly brilliant! We didn't have enough fun in the palace last time, come on, let's have another three hundred rounds!"
"Ugh, how annoying..."
