A few days after Ying Zheng went to Zhangtai, Zhao Ji issued an edict in the name of the Queen Mother, asking Lü Buwei to move the Prime Minister's Mansion into the outer study of the east side of the palace. Lu Buwei naturally knew what Zhao Ji was thinking, so he did not hesitate to excuse himself with the excuse that "all things are normal, and extraordinary methods cannot last long".

Lü Buwei monopolized the power, but Zhao Kuo was happy to be at ease. Although he has ascended to the position of general and is respected as his father by the current King of Qin, he knows that as long as Lü Buwei is in the court, his plan to mess with Qin cannot be truly implemented, so he must continue to wait until one day he moves away from Lü Buwei, a huge stone blocking the road, and he can control the government of Qin without scruples.

Thinking about this, Zhao Kuo ignored the rest of the major affairs of the court and politics every day, except for the unavoidable business trip of the General's Mansion. His move was to give Lü Buwei an illusion: Zhao Kuo didn't know how to scheming, and he was just a puppet.

And what really gave Zhao Kuo a headache was Ji Hua, since she came back from the clouds, she seemed to be a different person, standing in the courtyard all day long in front of a pool of clear water, and only lived in Xianyang for a few days, and then moved back to the old palace of Liyang. How can a home be considered a home without a woman? Zhao Kuo, who couldn't bear to be lonely, had to come to a tavern in Xianyang City alone, order some wine and food, and pour himself a drink.

Suddenly, a heroic young man at the next table caught Zhao Kuo's attention. I saw that this young man was muttering words in his mouth, dipping his chopsticks in wine, and writing something on the table one by one.

Zhao Kuo's curiosity rose, he got up straight and walked over, he didn't care about the abruptness, and sat down next to the young man as soon as he arched his hand: "In Xia Zhao Ren Ma Zhao, dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”

The young man seemed to be depressed in his heart, and did not answer the conversation, but just lowered his head and drank the sullen wine while gesturing.

Zhao Kuo stared at the young man, sighed lightly and said: "Look at the dignified appearance under your feet, and your demeanor is also quite like a master, why is it full of heart, is it because you are talented and not meet it?" ”

The young man trembled, raised his head suddenly, and said with a flickering gaze: "How can Brother Tai say this? ”

Seeing the change in the young man's expression, Zhao Kuo already had a plan in his chest: "I want to join the country Lu Buwei, but I have no way to enter?" Yes and no? "Now that the Qin government is decided by Lü Buwei, most of the scholars who enter Qin want to take refuge in him.

The young man saw through Zhao Kuo's thoughts when he saw through his thoughts in a few words, and couldn't help but sit up straight, and solemnly arched his hand: "The surname is Li Mingsi, and the Cai people are in the Chu country." ”

After listening to the other party's self-report, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be happy in his heart: "Your Excellency is Master Xun's disciple Li Si?" ”

"Do you know Li Sihu?" Lees asked in surprise.

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly: "Mr. hamster's theory, I have also heard it below." ”

"I'm ashamed!" Li Si suddenly sighed, and a trace of depression appeared on his face, "Si has been in Xianyang for more than a month, but he can't meet Xiangguo to express his opinion, how painful!" ”

Zhao Kuo poured a bowl of wine for Li Simman, and said casually: "With Mr. Yi's great talent, comparable to Zhang Yi and Fan Ju, and the six countries are all prime ministers, why would you like to enter Qin and live under Duke Lu?" ”

Li Si took the wine and drank it, and then came to Zhao Kuo's side with drunkenness, and said in a low voice: "The six countries are all weak, and they can't make a big plan!" Only when I enter Qin can I show my ambitions! Who is Lü Buwei? Merchants too! What is a businessman? Flies chase the smell, mercenary also! How can you steal a high position in the prime minister for a long time as a businessman? Liston paused, looked around and said, "However, now the Qin government is all decided by the Lu family, I go, only the step of the body!" Is there any other? ”

After listening to Li Si's confession, Zhao Kuo suddenly had a plan in his heart: "Your Excellency, do you know who I am?" ”

Li Si opened his drunken eyes and looked at Zhao Kuo carefully: "Zhao Renma Zhao...... Lis, I'm not drunk! ”

Zhao Kuo smiled and shook his head: "I can't hide it, under Zhao Kuo." ”

"Horse ...... Ma Fujun? Li Si, who was already exhausted, almost jumped up from his seat, "You...... You are ......"

Zhao Kuo looked ahead, didn't look at Li Si's expression, and just said lightly: "It's not difficult to see Lu Gong, I am willing to introduce Mr. Kuo, but I just have an invitation." ”

Good luck came suddenly, Li Si twisted his thigh fiercely with some suspicion, and then he was sure that it was not in a dream, and hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Zhao Kuo and said, "Li Si is willing to hear about it." ”

"With the talent of Mr., seeing Lu Gong will make him happy, and then he will be a disciple for life! But if Lu Gong is overthrown, he will be the prime minister of Mr. Kebao. Zhao Kuo stared at Li Si deadly, this is a risky move, to be honest, Zhao Kuo is not completely sure.

"This ......" Everyone in the world says that Lu Zhao and the two have a deep friendship, but today it seems to be just a lie! Li Si laughed secretly in his heart, and couldn't wait to confess: "It's not a good look, and this life is wasted!" Li Si is willing to help Ma Fujun! With that, the two of them burst out laughing almost at the same time.

The next day, Zhao Kuo took Li Si to the Lu manor on the south bank of Weishui. After entering the village, Zhao Kuo asked Li Si to wait in the courtyard first, and then walked into the hall under the guidance of the old steward. The waiting time was unusually long, and Li Si stood alone in the courtyard, rubbing his hands anxiously and walking back and forth restlessly. After a long time, the old chamberlain finally walked out of the hall and beckoned to Li Si: "Xiangguo please sir." ”

Success or failure in this move, Li Si's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy. He hurriedly straightened his clothes, and strode up the stairs to the threshold of the hall.

"You're Lees?" Lu Buwei, who was sitting at the head of the hall, looked at the young junior who had just walked in with a smile.

Li Si calmly saluted: "Li Si, a Chu person, meet Lord Xiangguo." ”

Lu Buwei straightened up, stroked his gray beard, and said leisurely: "Mr. is a high-ranking disciple of Xun Qing, and he has come from thousands of miles away, can he be high-minded?" ”

Li Si knew that Lu Buwei was inspecting himself, so he cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Li Si implores Xiangguo to punish the three thousand diners under his door!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Lu Buwei, but even Zhao Kuo didn't react for a while, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent. Lu Buwei almost didn't choke, and his face, which was originally full of spring breeze, instantly turned blue, but the habit he had developed over the years still made him suppress the anger in his heart, and scolded lukewarmly: "Li Si is bold!" And thou sayest, What is the sin of the doorman? Lü Buwei wanted to see how this young man who didn't know what to do was going to justify himself.

Li Si took a deep breath and said generously: "Xiangguo entered Qin as a businessman, and he had to be sealed as a letter marquis and eat 50,000 households. The king of Qin is young, and Xiangguo is regent in the name of the middle father, and the hope of the people and ministers is nothing more than that! ”

Lu Buwei took a sip of tea, knocked on the table rhythmically, and saw that Li Si suddenly stopped talking and looked at him, so he said coldly: "Go on." ”

"Xiang Guo, as a trusted minister, has no doubt about the country. However, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and Li Si heard that Lingjun was still suspicious of King Wei as a relative of the clan, and died depressed. Xiangguo guests enter Qin, such as rootless floating grass, but let three thousand diners do what they do, all words have Xiangguo and no Qin King, in the long run, how can Xiangguo be self-sufficient? The only plan for today is to punish the people of the door to show the heart of the world and the country. Listening to Li Siyi's words and words for a long time, Lu Buwei couldn't help but close his eyes, leaned back, and was silent for a long time.

Li Si turned his head to look at Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo smiled at him, and then got up and said, "Marquis Wenxin, Kuo is in military affairs, so I will leave first." Zhao Kuo understood that he was redundant at the moment, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

After Zhao Kuo left, in the huge hall, there were only two people left, Lu Buwei and Li Si.

Lu Buwei opened his eyes and said calmly: "What Mr. said is not bad, but if you kill three thousand guests, where will you be trapped?" I wonder if Mr. has a perfect solution? ”

"Li Si is not talented, there is indeed a strategy." Li Si originally didn't plan to let Lu Buwei really kill all the three thousand disciples, everything was just to pave the way for his later words.

"Oh?" Lu Buwei's heart moved, and he hurriedly left the table and walked in front of Li Si, and bowed respectfully, "Mr. teach me." ”

Li Si smiled and said the plan in his heart word by word: "If you don't use Xiangguo to raise soldiers, there will be trouble in the long run!" If you gather people in one place, whoever can write an article will be given a bamboo knife pen, write what they know and hear, gather hundreds of schools, and collect astronomy and geography. Then select and classify, compile into a book, and stream it for eternity! As soon as there is such a move, Xiangguo can not only calm down the rumors in the world, but also take this opportunity to choose the best and use it, this so-called killing three birds with one stone! ”

The joint writing of a book by 3,000 people is an unprecedented event, and it makes people feel their blood boiling when they hear it, and under the instigation of Li Si, how can Lü Buwei not be moved: "If this book is completed, how can it be famous?" ”

"It can be described as "Lu Zi Chunqiu"." Lees blurted out.

Lu Buwei shook his head: "How dare the old man accept the name of Lu Zi?" This book is co-authored by my Lu family, and it is appropriate to use "Lu Family's Spring and Autumn Period". Seeing that Li Si nodded in agreement, Lu Buwei was suddenly overjoyed, and held Li Si's hand tightly, feeling a little late to see each other, "How about Mr. Qu Cai being the chief editor of "Lu's Spring and Autumn"?" ”

Although Li Si had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, he still made a look of indifference, and said unhurriedly: "That is the case, Li Si Jingnuo!" ”
