Li Si said without beating around the bush.
"The King of Qin is not in the palace now. Once this system is announced, those dissatisfied officials may take the opportunity to cause trouble."
It may even trigger a greater political crisis. By then, the Qin State will fall into unprecedented chaos.”
Hu Hai took a deep breath. He felt as if he was caught in a huge political whirlpool.
He understood that Li Si's analysis was not alarmist, but a real risk.
As the night deepened, the lights in the Qin Palace remained bright.
In Hu Hai's study, his secret conversation with Li Si was coming to an end.
Both of their faces were filled with determination and resolve, and a profound change was about to take place in the court.
"Li Si, have you really decided?"
There was some excitement and anticipation in Hu Hai's voice, "Standing on my side means you will become an enemy of Fusu."
Li Si took a deep breath and looked at Hu Hai with firm eyes.
"Second Young Master, since I have chosen this path, I will not regret it."
"Prince Fusu's imperial examination system is good, but it will shake the foundation of the Qin State. I cannot sit idly by."
When Hu Hai heard this, a hint of admiration and gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"With your help, I am even more powerful. Although Zhao Gao is dead, I believe that with your wisdom, we will be able to accomplish great things."
Li Si nodded, looking solemn.
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. I will do my best to help you reach the supreme position."
The two smiled at each other, and a tacit understanding and trust quietly grew between them.
They knew that from this moment on, they would face the ups and downs of the court together and plan the future of Qin together.
"So, what should we do next?" Hu Hai asked.
Li Si pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"First, we need to consolidate our power and win over those officials who are opposed to the imperial examination system."
"At the same time, we must also actively speak out in the court, expose the drawbacks of the imperial examination system, and get more people to stand on our side."
After hearing this, a cunning look flashed in Hu Hai's eyes.
"Okay! Let's do as you say. I believe that with your wisdom and my methods, we can definitely defeat Fusu."
After the two discussed some specific details of the action, Li Si stood up and said goodbye.
Hu Hai personally sent him to the door of the study and watched his back disappear into the night.
After returning to the study, Hu Hai's heart was filled with fighting spirit.
He knew that with the addition of Li Si, his power would become even stronger.
He believed that in the near future he would be able to reach the coveted position.
After leaving Hu Hai's study, Li Si also made a secret decision.
He had to do his utmost to help Hu Hai seize power, while also ensuring that his own status and interests were not harmed.
This court dispute was both a challenge and an opportunity for him.
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the stone road of Xianyang City, casting mottled light and shadows.
Fusu rode his horse slowly on the way back to the palace, but his heart was full of waves.
Today's meeting with Hu Hai was not pleasant. He had originally hoped to persuade Hu Hai to support his reform of the imperial examination system.
Unexpectedly, the two brothers quarreled endlessly due to their different ideas.
Just as Fusu was immersed in his thoughts, a guard came riding at full speed, reporting breathlessly.
"Sir, Prime Minister Li Si went to Master Hu Hai's residence shortly after you left."
Fusu frowned slightly. He had already expected this result.
