Chapter 118 Li Si's Mansion
Fusu’s situation is now very embarrassing.
Although he is the regent now, his father is still alive and his power position is not stable.
Fusu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.
He knew that he couldn't be defeated by the difficulties.
He needs to find a breakthrough and gain a firm foothold in the court.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Go find Prime Minister Li Si!
Li Si was an important official of the Qin Dynasty, and his support and help were crucial to Fusu.
Fusu decided to visit him in person, hoping to get his support.
So Fusu called the guards and asked them to prepare a carriage.
He planned to leave the palace quietly and go to Li Si's residence.
The carriage slowly stopped outside the palace. Fusu walked out of the carriage and took a deep breath of fresh air.
He changed out of his elaborate palace attire and put on casual clothes. He traveled to Prime Minister Li Si's residence in a simple manner, accompanied by only a few guards.
Walking on the streets of Xianyang, Fusu couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of the city.
There are shops lining both sides of the street and a constant stream of pedestrians, fully demonstrating the prosperity of the Qin Empire.
A feeling of pride welled up in his heart. This was his country and his people, and he would fight hard for them.
Soon, the group arrived at Li Si's residence.
The tall guards at the door recognized Fusu at a glance. They did not dare to delay in the slightest and went in to report immediately.
Fusu stepped into the mansion and saw luxurious furnishings, pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water, every detail of which exuded refinement and wealth.
At this time, Li Si hurriedly walked out of the inner hall and looked at Fusu with surprise.
"Your Highness, why did you come here in person? Please take a seat!"
Fusu smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"You are too polite, Prime Minister. I just have nothing to do and want to come and see you."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they walked into the reception room.
Li Si secretly wondered Fusu's intention. Could it be that he had not done something well and angered the prince?
He carefully observed Fusu's expression, trying to get some clues from it.
Fusu, however, had a calm expression on his face. He looked around and exclaimed in admiration.
"The Prime Minister's residence is truly magnificent!"
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise." Li Si responded modestly, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seems that Fusu is not here to bring an army to punish him.
After the two of them sat down, Li Si personally poured tea for Fusu and asked tentatively.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is visiting my humble home today. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"
Fusu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
"It's not so much about giving advice as it is about discussing something with the Prime Minister."
Li Si's heart tightened, but he remained calm: "Please speak, Prince."
"The situation in the court is complicated now. Although I am the regent, my foundation is not stable and I need support."
Fusu looked directly into Li Si's eyes and spoke sincerely.
When Li Si heard this, his heart moved, and he instantly understood Fusu's intention.
This was the prince trying to show goodwill to him, hoping that he would stand on his side.
After thinking for a moment, he responded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to support you!"
Fusu was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Si to agree to him so readily.
He stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your support, Prime Minister!"
Li Si also stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Your Highness is too polite. This is what I should do."
Li Si had been in officialdom for many years and was well aware of the complexity and cruelty of power struggles.
He responded to Fusu's enthusiasm politely with a smile on his face.
