Chapter 27: Mikawa-gun Li Yu returns home
It is not without reason that Li Si's mansion is so brightly lit, it turns out that Li Si's eldest son Li You returned from Sanchuan County, and all Xiangguo mansions will be like the New Year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Speaking of Li You, although he is not as powerful as his father, he is also a second-generation official, and the most important thing is that Li You has outstanding achievements in political performance, plus he knows the art of war, so he is favored by King Qin.
In terms of this art of war, it may be fake, and the only credit that can be seen is that when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang attacked Sanchuan County during the uprising, Li You and the righteous army were at a stalemate, which accelerated the internal division of the righteous army.
In the end, he was killed by Xiang Yu's subordinate Cao Shen, which shows that it is okay for Li You to fight the peasant army, but once he encounters the regular army, there is still an essential gap.
There is another reason for Li You to come back this time, that is, Li Si is a longevity, otherwise Li You would not have rushed back from Sanchuan County, only Li Si is a big thing to do longevity.
That night, Li You rushed back from Sanchuan County and sat in the study with his old father, but now Li Si's face was not very good, and he seemed to have something on his mind.
Li You naturally saw it clearly on the side, "Father, now that you are a supreme minister and enjoy glory and wealth, is there anything else that you can't do?" Li You said straight to the point.
Li Si didn't speak, and immediately threw Li You a bamboo slip, Li You hurriedly caught it, and there were still two people's names on it, one Han Feizi and one Lu Ziyu.
"Father, what are you?" Li You said with a puzzled expression.
"I naturally know how noble I am now, now Senior Brother Han Fei, I have solved the obstacle for me, and your obstacle is the person below." Li Si said quickly.
Li You looked at the name in front of him carefully, his expression was a little dazed, he had just returned from Sanchuan County, and his father had set up an opponent for himself.
"Could it be that the father hated him in his heart, so he wanted the child to solve him, so he said such words." Li You immediately said what he thought in his heart.
Li Si immediately glared at Li You, "Is there anyone in this world who your father can't solve?" I'm exercising you, why don't you understand? I think you're almost over forty, so it's hard to become a big thing. Li Si said with some regret.
Li You hurriedly bowed, "Father is too worried, I will definitely solve this matter, but the child came back from Sanchuan County just now, and I don't know this person, so how to start." ”
"You don't have to worry about it, tomorrow at my birthday banquet, I will invite him over, you personally observe this person's personality, it is really not something that ordinary people can compare with him." Li Si said slowly.
Li You next to him just nodded, in Li You's opinion, the person who can make his father value must also be a veteran of officialdom, otherwise he would not make his old father so sad.
"It's just a father, what if the child can't solve this person?" Li You handed over the tea in his hand and said.
"If you can't solve it, you should go back to Sanchuan County and never come back for the rest of your life." Li Si said a little sternly, and at the same time threw the invitation on the table to Li You.
After all, this Li Si is the prime minister of the DPRK and China, and it is not false that he is a very popular minister, and in the capital of Xianyang, no matter whether he receives an invitation or not, he has to come to congratulate him on his birthday.
And those who can make Li Si write invitations are all among the three princes and nine secretaries, and Lu Yan is naturally among them, and the next morning, Lu Yan received an invitation from Li Si.
Although he was in the same house as Zhang Cang, he still sent two invitations because of etiquette, Lu Yan looked at the inscription on it, and felt a little annoyed in his heart.
"Xiangguo Li Si, please, Lu Shilang looks forward."
Let's not talk about the rest for the time being, just with this sentence, Lu Yan can not go at all, now Lu Yan is already Zhan Shi, one of the Jiuqing, but he wrote on the invitation to the waiter, obviously denying Lu Yan's credit.
Just when Lu Yan was holding the invitation, Zhang Cang also walked in from outside, also holding an invitation in his hand, Zhang Cang saw that Lu Yan was in a daze, his eyes were a little unkind, and he stepped forward to look at Lu Yan's invitation.
"Maybe your uncle is mistaken." Zhang Cang said a little helplessly, and he could see Lu Yan's thoughts at a glance.
"I remember wrong, one of the three dukes, before the Seven Kingdoms, he was a court lieutenant, how can such a high-ranking and powerful person have such a memory." Lu Yan said with some annoyance.
While speaking, Lu Yan glanced at his master's invitation, but it was the imperial doctor, the second-class Zhongcheng, and the master's were not wrong, but his was wrong, it was unreasonable.
In modern times, everyone must think that these are all trivial, and maybe they don't pay attention to these things at all, but in ancient times, it was different, and it was clearly a contempt for others.
Anyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms knows that Zhuge Liang only scolded Wang Situ a few words, and Wang Lang fell off his horse and died, although it is a bit exaggerated, but in their opinion, just a few words have such an effect, which is really a bit incredible, but this is the case, of course, the scolding is indeed very sharp.
The ancients attached the most importance to benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, so insulting words should not appear as much as possible, and Lu Yan didn't care about this kind of thing, but Lu Jing's knowledge popularization was better, which made Lu Yan also pay more attention.
"And what are you going to do?" Zhang Cang said with some admonition.
Lu Yan glanced at the invitation again, he was Xiangguo, even if he was angry, for now, it was better to endure it, so as not to have unnecessary accidents.
"The mountains are high and the waters are far away, and the coming days are long." Lu Yan said with a smile.
"Apprentice, you can endure it, and I'm glad for my teacher, but you are really not my brother's opponent now." Zhang Cang looked at Lu Yan's face and said.
Lu Yan waved his hand, "The master thinks too highly of Li Si, his achievements today are only a little literary, it just so happens that the six countries are weak, if it is at this time, Li Si is not as good as the master." Lu Yan said with a sigh.
"What you said is true?" Zhang Cang said with some joy, and at the same time looked at Lu Yan with great satisfaction.
"Of course it's fake, the master and Li Si are still a little far away." Lu Yan immediately smiled, Zhang Cang instantly glanced at Lu Yan, and the two of them were not joking, they changed into court clothes, and immediately rushed towards Xianyang Palace.
On the same day, King Yingzheng of Qin gave Li Si 100 catties of gold on the palace to celebrate Li Si's birthday, which shows the great authority and reputation of Li Si at that time.
"Xiangguo's birthday today, I won't go, you can go back to the house with Xiangguo to celebrate." Ying Zheng said very kindly.
"Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Li Si immediately knelt on the ground and said.
Everyone also bowed to the King of Qin together, and then retreated from the court, which was the shortest time since Lu Yan went to court, and it was less than ten minutes before and after, and the autocracy was really arbitrary.
In Ying Zheng's view, Daqin's Xiangguo longevity is also a display of imperial prestige, so he went down to the court in advance, just so that Li Si could perform well and let the four seas feel the strength of Daqin, but it was just a luxury.
In addition to traveling, King Qin rarely goes out of Xianyang, if there is anything he wants to see, he only needs to send someone to bring it from all over the country, even if it is troublesome, it is okay.
