Chapter 218: Li Si Juxian! Drought in six counties!

Ying Zheng was also stunned, and he didn't know why Su Zheng would ask like this.

Li Si was even more confused.

However, of course he is satisfied, but Wu Hou asks like this, obviously with bad intentions, if he says he is satisfied, does it mean that he is not satisfied with Wu Hou? It's even more suspicious of trespassing.

Soon, he understood that even if he just wanted to become a close attendant by Gongzi's side, it would naturally be impossible without the recommendation of the courtiers.

Su Zai said coldly: "Isn't it easy to answer?" How about Ben Hou answer for you? ”

Lees was sweating profusely.

Su Zai said: "Actually, you have already answered, in this book that you insulted Ben Hou, in this book, the world is the world of one person. ”

Li Si was dumbfounded and said, "I understand, thank you Wuhou." ”

Su Zai said: "I hope you really understand, you yourself say that the world is a person's world, this person is the King of Qin, just like now, who does Benhou want to use, it is also for the Qin State, for the king and the eldest son to choose meritocracy, Benhou is the king and the eldest son's people, not to mention you?" So, what's not to answer. ”

Su Zai got up and picked up Li Si's bamboo slip.

Slowly walked up to Li Si.

Su Zai read Li Si's book word by word: "The world is the world of one person, not the world of all people, so that it can be called the emperor, the people of the first time, ignorant and generous, no heart of strife, so Yao Shun can practice the way of democracy, and now is different from the past, the people's hearts are not ancient, although the people are still unruly and untamable, so we must strictly cultivate the law, Ming Sheng death sentence, so that all the people are submissive, strictly abide by their duties, so that the general body of the monarch and the minister, the distinction between respect and inferiority, and the unification of the upper and lower levels, can then establish the foundation of all things invincible." ”

Su Zai put away the bamboo slips and sighed: "What a spirit, how lofty, every word, your talent and learning are worthy of ambition, presumably, you did not come to Qin to ask for a humble house to avoid your body, a few stones of corn to fill your stomach." ”

Li Si raised his head and looked at Su Zheng.

Sure enough, Wuhou is Brother Lu, this sentence is what Brother Lu said, it is categorical, at this time, Li Si finally understood that Su Zheng wanted to help him, maybe he was reminding him and warning him something.

At this moment, Li Si's eyes changed, as if he had returned to the high-spirited self who came out of the Jixia School Palace.

Li Siji said: "I am here to find a wise and martial artist in the Qin State who has the most holy lord in mind, and to accompany such a holy lord to complete the great cause of unifying the world." ”

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

Su Zai nodded and said: "That's right, then since you want to assist the holy lord who has the world in mind, then Ben Hou asks you, the holy lord who has the world in mind, does it also need the virtuous ministers who have the world in mind to assist?" ”

Li Si nodded and said, "What Wuhou said is extremely true. ”

Su Zheng frowned, and said: "But because you have two sentences down on you, you will insult Ben Hou in a book, although what you say is reasonable, but if Ben Hou does not count you, will you also insult Ben Hou?" What about your heart? How do you trust Benhou? ”

Li Si wanted to say, you made me scold.

However, he soon understood that if others let him scold, he would scold himself?

How can I be so easily influenced?

Just because I got acquainted with Brother Lu for two days and was entertained by Brother Lu with good wine and meat, I forgot my way of behaving in the world.

Li Si sweated on his forehead and hurriedly said: "It's Li Si's crime, Li Si knows Wuhou's intentions, please punish Wuhou." ”

Su Zai nodded and said with satisfaction: "Li Si, Benhou promised you, if you can prove that you are an immortal talent who can assist King Qin, Benhou will give you a chance to accompany Gongzi." ”

When Li Si heard this, he was shocked and overjoyed.

Even if there is a waiter next to Gongzi, it is better than the Shangshu of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Wuhou, how should Li Si prove it?" ”

Su Zai stretched out his hand, and Lu Caiwei took out a bamboo slip from the desk and handed it over.

Su Zai said: "See for yourself." ”

Li Si opened and muttered, "Tui Xian Ling? ”

Su Zai said: "Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, tigers are not wolves, my Qin State is the time to use people, you are not only from the Jixia School Palace, but also naturally there are many classmates, Ben Hou wants to test you, you elect one person to Qin State, Ben Hou will judge whether you really understand, or fake understand." ”

When Li Si heard this, he immediately understood Su Zheng's intentions.

This recommended person is very important, Su Zheng's words make it clear that I want you to be important and the person you recommend.

But this person, you are in charge, if you nominate a random person, then Su Zheng and Gongzi will know at a glance, if you nominate a great talent, it is also your opponent, of course, by doing so, you will make yourself a close minister by the side of the eldest son, and achieve your goals in one fell swoop.

But this person who was elected by himself will faintly be his opponent.

Li Si's heart was shocked, and he felt that he had never had any secrets in Wuhou's words.

Su Zai said: "The opportunity, this marquis is handed over to you, are you willing to become a famous minister with the world in mind, or are you willing to return to Chu to be a small official, the road is up to you." ”

Su Zheng, Ying Zheng, Lu Caiwei watched Li Si, who was slowly going out, disappear at the door.

Ying Zheng asked: "Wu Hou, Zheng feels that Wu Hou is quite useful for this person, so why should he be so embarrassed by him, in my opinion, this person has already proved that he is a great talent in just a few words." ”

Su Zai sighed and said: "Childe, this person is not a great talent, this person's talent can be crowned in ancient and modern times." ”

Yingzheng and Lu Caiwei all jumped at the top of their eyes.

Who is Wuhou?

There are very few people who can be praised by Wuhou like this, and there are very few in the Seven Kingdoms.

Su Zai continued: "In the future, Gongzi will know that Benhou did this just to save his life and let him be used by Gongzi forever in the future." ”

Ying Zheng didn't ask in detail, just nodded slightly, and unconsciously looked in the direction where Li Si left, and he really had some expectations in his heart.

Su Zheng naturally really wanted to save such a talent.

Li Si, countless honors, the so-called Qin Zhi article, Li Si is alone, the small seal into the gods, the big seal into the wonderful calligraphy originator.

It was proposed to unify weights and measures and establish a county system, which was used to modern times.

However, Li Si in the later period was no longer the prime minister who had the world in mind and was obsessed with power.

And Li Si has two fatal problems, which are used by Zhao Gao, one is lustful, and the other is easy to be influenced by words.

Su Zheng did this.

Naturally, it is necessary to beat him from the very beginning, so that Li Si is always vigilant!

Su Zai said to himself: "I hope you can understand Benhou's good intentions in the future." ”

Li Si returned to his mansion, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

Being able to become Lang Zhong by Gongzi's side, this is something he can't refuse, and he knows that if he loses this opportunity, he will never be able to gain a foothold in the Qin State.

Li Si instinctively wanted to know how to get this promotion order, and suddenly felt a cold shiver.

It was as if there were a pair of eyes on him above his head.

This person is Wuhou.

Li Si muttered, "It's worth the name!" ”

Li Si paid attention to it and immediately packed up his baggage.

When he left Xianyang City, his expression became even more determined, he looked at the east, and said to himself: "Han Fei, let me divide the two of you again." ”

At the head of Xianyang City, Yingzheng and Su Zheng watched as they rode towards Hangu Pass.

Ying Zheng asked: "Marquis Wu, this person is so eager to leave, is there already a suitable person?" ”

Su Zheng was very satisfied in his heart, and when Li Si made this decision, he had already walked on the right path.

Su Zai said: "Congratulations to the son!" ”

Ying Zheng now knows Su Zheng very well as a person.

Everything Su Zai did was for him.

Ying Zheng replied: "Thank you Wuhou!" ”

Su Zai said: "Childe, how is the queen recently?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "The queen mother has always been thinking about Wuhou for many days, and she looks forward to Wuhou going to the palace to teach him to stroke the zheng. ”

Su Zai smiled and said: "That's the minister's sin, let's go, the minister hasn't seen the queen for many days." ”

……

Seven days later.

Su Zheng had just returned to the mansion from the palace and had just sat down.

Lu Caiwei came to Su Zheng under the escort of four maids.

Lu Caiwei said: "Went to teach the queen to play the piano again?" ”

Su Zai glanced up at Lu Caiwei and said, "This marquis is a courtier, and he promised the queen, so he will naturally fulfill it, what do you have to do?" ”

Lu Caiwei hesitated for two or three times, and said, "I saw that the zither had twelve strings, you, can you teach me too?" ”

Su Zai smiled: "It turns out that this is the case, Ben Hou's wife has a life, how dare I disobey, you wait to get Ben Hou's zither." ”

The maids answered.

Lu Caiwei sat next to Su Zheng for half a moment.

Wang Ben suddenly ran in from outside the mansion quickly.

Wang Ben looked anxious, looked at Lu Caiwei, and said, "Wuhou, the last general has something to say." ”

Lu Caiwei immediately understood, and was just about to get up when she was pulled by Su Zheng.

Su Zai said with a smile: "Up and down the house, there is no need to avoid Mrs. for everything, and you can't do it again next time." ”

Lu Caiwei's face was slightly red, and in the past few days, she felt that she had gradually become Wuhou's wife.

Wang Ben arched his hand and said: "The last general knows the mistake, Wuhou, the last general will send someone to the fiefdom to explore, sure enough, it has not rained for three months, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the land of the six counties, this year will make a locust plague, once there is a locust plague, I am afraid that the old and young will not be harvested, I am afraid that it will be three hundred miles of land, the grass and trees are exhausted, once it is at that time, there may be people in the court and the middle of the court to slander the Wuhou, the last general thinks, it is better to report this matter to the court as soon as possible, so that the king can mobilize Longxi, the grain of Bashu to prevent the occurrence of disasters. ”

Su Zai's face sank, and he said, "No rain in March? This is rare! ”

Generally speaking, the six counties in Guanzhong are flooded once every three years.

History records that in the first year of the reign of King Qin, there was a drought in the six counties of Guanzhong that was rare for decades, although it did not reach the point of cannibalism, but the starving people starved to death seven or eight out of ten.

According to Su Zheng's calculations, this is the time.

Su Zai said: "These six counties, drought every year, death has a common age, although Longxi and Bashu are quite rich, but now the six granaries have not yet been filled, even if there is help, I am afraid that many people will starve to death, if you want to completely solve this trouble, I am afraid you still have to find a way by yourself." ”

Wang Ben said angrily: "Marquis Wu, the last general has only now figured it out, this fierce and waterlogged place is probably the strategy of that Lu Buwei, in this way, once the locust plague breaks out and the people are not happy, this person will definitely slander Wuhou." ”

Su Zai said with a smile: "Benhou's reputation is compared to the life and death of the people, what does this person say, let him go, since it is Benhou's fiefdom, then Benhou naturally has to bear the responsibility of protecting the people, this matter Benhou will think of a way, and then discuss it later." ”

Wang Ben nodded, and said, "There is still something to do in the end." ”

Su Zheng frowned, and said, "If you have something, say it quickly, why hesitate." ”

Wang Ben looked at Lu Caiwei and said, "That kid brought someone here?" ”
