"When did you have contact with Lord Chang'an? Was it when Meng Xibai's family was exterminated, or during the wax sacrifice, or when the new manager of the building was changed?"

Wang Wan said in a deep voice.

He didn't know the reason for what Feng Quji did today, but judging from the result that Ying Chengyu was the biggest profiteer, he came to the conclusion that Feng Quji was working for Ying Chengyu.

Without the new right prime minister in the room today, Ying Chengyu would not be so awed by the court, and the voice of Qin II could be faintly heard.

Feng Quji shook his head and chuckled.

"Quji is not one of Chang'an Lord's people."

"Do you think I will believe you if you say this?"

"To remove diseases, we are the imperial censor. What we did today was just fulfilling the duties of the censor."

Feng Quji said sincerely.

Wang Wan thought for a moment, then became unstable and suddenly slapped his hand on the table to steady himself, knocking over the inkstone and causing the ink in the inkstone to flow all over his hands.

"I understand, that's how it is..."

His last doubts were gone.

…………

"Feng Quji underestimated him."

Li Si was slightly dissatisfied.

In the back hall of Xiangbang's Mansion, only Lu Buwei and Li Si were present.

Lu Buwei shook his head when he heard this and smiled.

"Are you dissatisfied because Feng Quji suddenly became above you in official position?"

"exactly."

Li Si readily admitted.

The Great Qin respected the right. Although he, the left prime minister, was nominally on the same level as the right prime minister, he was actually half a level lower in the eyes of the ministers.

"Take a long-term view, whether you are the Prime Minister on the left or the Prime Minister on the right, you will still be the Prime Minister after all.

"You were dissatisfied with me as prime minister at the beginning, and you should continue to be dissatisfied with me in the future."

Lu Buwei looked through the recent renovations of Chidao.

"But it's not just you, Feng Quji. I was also blinded. I didn't expect that this wallflower would actually wake up. I thought he would be taken down by His Majesty soon, but I didn't expect that he would go one step further."

The responsibilities of the Censor are, firstly, to handle political affairs as the Prime Minister's deputy, so he is sometimes called the Deputy Prime Minister in private. Secondly, as the head of the Censorship Office, a supervisory organization, he is responsible for supervising all officials.

The promotion method is generally that if there is a vacancy in the position of prime minister, the imperial censor who has been accompanying the prime minister in handling affairs can take over.

"So many people have not figured out His Majesty's temperament, but he actually guessed it. He is not as lucky as you. Your Majesty reminded you. When it comes to judging the situation, Feng Quji is better than you and me."

Li Si nodded depressedly.

"I don't know how this idiot knew that His Majesty was willing to fulfill his duties. Today's actions are completely in line with the imperial censor. He is neither humble nor arrogant. He does not agree with the control of the king and does not compromise. It is in line with His Majesty's wishes."

Lu Buwei pointed out:

"Your Majesty once said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, and one must figure out what is above. But His Majesty's intention is that he does not want his ministers to figure out what is above them. What Your Majesty wants is for all courtiers to do their jobs well and not to think wildly.

"You suffered this loss in the first place. If you think about it carefully, did your Majesty give you clear instructions even if you wanted to kill Han Fei? Our Majesty doesn't like conspiracies and tricks.

"Don't worry about any clues in the court, who was summoned by His Majesty, or who suddenly became favored. As long as you always be your prime minister, you will take over when I get down."

The hand turning over the bamboo slips suddenly stopped. Lu Buwei raised his head and said:

"No, there is hope for Feng Quji now."

…………

"His Majesty Xuan Wang Wan enters the palace to pay homage."

At the gate of Xiangbang's Mansion, the Si Ma King's chariot was parked here, and a eunuch came in to announce.

Wang Wan had a complicated expression.

His Majesty finally summoned him, but only after he lost his position as Right Prime Minister.

The old man followed the eunuch and boarded the royal carriage on a familiar road.

"Come sit down and eat with me."

The First Emperor sat in front of a table of exquisite dishes and patted the chair next to him to greet Wang Wan.

Wang Wan was in a daze.

Many years ago, the stubborn young man who came back from the Kingdom of Zhao did not have gold, silver, wealth or a high official and was well paid. He only knew how to show his sincerity and could not win over anyone at all.

Those old foxes who have become evil only care about benefits and completely ignore these false etiquette.

Only he, a humble official, shed tears of gratitude for being able to eat side by side with the political master and share the same meal in this era of shared meals.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Wan was not polite and started eating as soon as he sat down, even though the First Emperor had not moved his chopsticks.

The First Emperor straightened his chopsticks, picked up a piece of venison and put it into Wang Wan's bowl.

"Cheng Xi said that the elderly should eat less meat to live longer. I have always scoffed at it. Lian Po is a hundred years old. It is not a problem to eat two kilograms of meat. Only by eating can you be healthy. As you get older, you should also eat more meat."

"only."

Wang Wan ate the meat in the bowl.

The two of them ate in silence for a while, after dropping their chopsticks on the plate a dozen times.

"Why do you want to resign suddenly?"

The First Emperor said suddenly, just as suddenly as Wang Wan resigned.

"I can't do it anymore."

Wang Wan kept using chopsticks and talking while eating.

"When you get old, it's time to make way for young people. If you continue to occupy the position of prime minister, you will be hated by others."

"Wang Sheren, you didn't tell me the truth."

Wang Wan used her chopsticks for a meal and continued to eat.

When he first joined the service of the First Emperor, his official position was given to others.

"The Wang Wan I know is a madman who dares to ask me to wish for the throne despite being in a position of sacrificing others."

"Your Majesty, I am getting old, and I am no longer so energetic. The Wan family is prosperous, with a young master and eight concubines, who gave birth to six sons and three daughters to Wan. Wan is no longer alone..."

"You eat, I'm full."

The First Emperor put down his chopsticks lightly and left the table disappointed.
