Chapter 9: The Gathering of Storms and Clouds in Xianyang City 4
After Ying Zheng came to the study, Li Si was already waiting where there was a lot of trouble, Li Si saw Ying Zheng arrive, and hurriedly bowed down to salute: "I've seen Wu Anjun!" β
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." When Mr. first arrived in Qin, did he still feel quite used to it? β
Li Si clenched his fists and arched his hand and said: "Back to Wu Anjun, although the Qin State does not have the Yingge Yan Dance of the Chu State, nor the grandeur of the Central Plains Border Fortress of Yan Zhao, but it really has the atmosphere of a great country. Indeed, Li Si has a ambition in his heart. β
After Ying Zheng heard this, he smiled slightly: "Mr. praised it falsely." Since Mr. will have entrusted his ambition to the next, he will do his best to let Mr. get what he wants. However, the Qin State has its own set of rules for employing people, and if it is inappropriate, that is, Mr. Xunzi personally came to the Qin State and wanted to become an official, and he could not arrange official positions casually. What's more, most of the appointments of officials in the DPRK and China are now in the hands of Prime Minister LΓΌ Buwei. I have nothing to do with Lu Xiangsu and rashly ask him for an official for Mr., I am afraid that it will cause Mr. Xiangguo to displease and Mr. Yu will be disadvantageous. So I can only arrange a petty officer for Mr. in some places that are not very critical. I don't know what Mr. thinks. β
Li Si was very disappointed when he heard this, this was too far from the parallax he imagined. But when he thought of his situation in the Chu State, he immediately thought: At least there is a chance here, although he is only a petty official. But Li Si also believes that with his own talents, he can always get ahead. So he said: "The villain thanks Wu Anjun." β
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "In that case, the next morning dynasty will mention this matter to King Qin." I remember that there is still a lack of a county order in Meicheng County, and when the time comes, I will recommend it in front of King Qin, just a county order, presumably all aspects can still sell me a face. β
When Li Si heard that his official position was not in Xianyang City, he felt a slight dissatisfaction in his heart. You must know that the size of the official position is sometimes secondary, and whether you can serve in a king's capital or not is the real difference. Especially a scholar like Li Si, as long as he can stay in Xianyang Chenghengzhong, even if he is a small official at the feet of the prince, as long as he has real talent and learning, he will work hard to drill the camp and soar to the sky. But if ......
"Thank you, villain, Wu Anjun!" Li Si thought about it, and thanked Yingzheng again.
Ying Zheng nodded and said to Li Si: "It's good that Mr. doesn't dislike it." Gainie! Ying Zheng called Gai Nie into the study as he spoke, and said to Gai Nie: "You first take this gentleman to find a place to settle down, and after tomorrow, the officials appointed by the King of Qin will come down, and then make careful arrangements." β
Gai Nie answered, and left the Ying government residence with Li Si.
When Gai Nie took Li Si to the post house, he saw that Li Si had a look of gratitude on his face, and he knew that he was dissatisfied with Yingzheng's arrangement. So he said: "Mr. Li Si, are you very dissatisfied with Wu Anjun's arrangement?" β
Li Si was broken by Gai Nie, and his heart tightened, afraid that he would lose the last chance. hurriedly said: "No, no, no~!" Wu Anjun is already a great kindness to the subordinates, how dare he be insatiable in the subordinates! β
Gai Nie said: "What the gentleman said is against his will! In fact, it is also the common feeling of people, after Shang Jun, Zhang Zi, Gongsun Yan, and Fan Sui entered Qin, they all became extremely popular ministers from a white cloth in an instant, Mr. was born a famous teacher, and his talent must not be under the Qin celebrities in the past dynasties, so it is normal to give Mr. such a small official position, and it is normal to be angry. β
"This ......" Li Si pondered for a moment, and finally just sighed.
Gai Nie saw Li Si's appearance from the side, so he said: "Do you definitely think that Wu Anjun is willing to arrange an official position for you in order to recruit subordinates for himself, but he lacks trust in you, or he looks down on you as an outsider from the Chu State, so he is unwilling to leave you in Xianyang?" I'll tell you the truth! Wu Anjun has not been watching the supreme position of King Qin so far, and the reason why he brought you back is just to seek talents for the Qin State. But Wu Anjun was born in the military, and what he didn't like the most was talking on paper and boasting. That's why I decided to put you in a remote county town and see what kind of governance you can make a county. It's also to see if you have real talent and learning. As long as you are indeed outstanding in learning, Wu Anjun will never be stingy in promoting you. β
When Li Si heard Gai Nie say this, he immediately opened his mouth, and the dark clouds in his heart immediately dissipated. But at the same time, I also felt strange, as one of the only two sons of King Qin, and he controlled the soldiers and horses of the whole country of Qin, since he would have no interest in the throne of King Qin? Not only had he never seen anything like it, but he didn't believe it. But at this moment, Li Si suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Gai Nie: "Mr. Gai Nie! I suddenly remembered something I accidentally found on the way to meet the Qin Kingdom! β
Hearing that Li Si was so nervous, Gai Nie's expression became serious, and he asked, "What's the matter!" β
Li Si said: "Now on the road, I accidentally learned that the envoys of the Qi State had already thrown away the large army of the envoy and hurried to Xianyang. As early as yesterday, I had already arrived in Xianyang City! β
"What!" Gai Nie was shocked when he heard this, and complained, "Why didn't you say it earlier! After that, he gave an order to the scary people around him, turned around and hurriedly returned to the Ying government to tell Ying Zheng about it.
Ying Zheng was also shocked when he heard it at first, although he also knew that the envoys of the Qi State would definitely come to the Qin State and try to prevent the Qin State from sending troops to rescue Yan. But judging from the news obtained, he was not prepared for this envoy of the Qi State to come to Xianyang so soon. You must know that once the envoy of Qi State arrives in Xianyang City, for the sake of his mission, he will definitely do everything possible to persuade the courtiers of Qin State to refuse to send troops, and may even go to see King Qin! Therefore, when the envoys of Qi State arrive in Xianyang, they need different countermeasures, and unexpected changes will occur if they are not careful.
But fortunately, Yingzheng already knew at this time, and it was not too late to start preparing.
But even so, it made Gai Nie look down on Li Si's personality a little.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, in a manor of Gongzi Chengjiao outside Xianyang City. Cheng Jiao was sitting in the empty lobby drinking alone. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a woman in black with this veil on her face half-knelt under the hall, and said respectfully: "Subordinate salamander, see the master." β
Cheng Jiao put down what was in his hand and said: "You failed to assassinate Yingzheng, what's going on?" β
A trace of fear flashed in the salamander's eyes, and then he said, "Return to the master, subordinates...... Subordinates are no match for him. β
Cheng Jiao frowned slightly after hearing this and said, "You said that you are not Gai Nie's opponent?" "Cheng Jiao still has a certain understanding of the kung fu of the No. 1 killer of Tianzi, and Gai Nie's martial arts should not be to this extent.
The startled salamander hurriedly said: "Back to the master, it's not them who cross the two, but Yingzheng himself." I...... I'm no match for him. β
Cheng Jiao was shocked when he heard this, but he was still light and calm, and he didn't understand Yingzheng's kung fu cultivation. I only know that before Yingzheng was enabled by King Qin, he stayed in the house all the year round without leaving the house, either practicing martial arts or studying, so he had no contact with the courtiers. But I really don't know how far Yingzheng's martial arts cultivation has reached. Cheng Jiao said: "Since this is the case...... That's it for now! You go back first, remember! Tomorrow, no matter what, you have to persuade King Qin to refuse to send troops, and at the same time, you will arrange good people to help you and find another opportunity to assassinate Ying Zheng. You go down first! βγ
The startled salamander clenched his fists and said yes, and walked out of the hall.
Cheng Jiao whispered silently in the hall alone: "Yingzheng! Yingzheng! The cheap breed born to you, a concubine, really brought me a lot of surprises! β
