Although it is winter, Xianyang is not cold.

In the classical palace, Ying Zheng was reading a book in the study.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Gao bowed and walked in and said, "The slave has brought Li Si and is waiting outside the door." ”

"Let him in." Ying Zheng put down the book in his hand and straightened his body.

Zhao Gao went out in response.

The man standing outside the door was not short, his body was quite strong, his eyes were sharp, his eyebrows were dark, his complexion was fair, and his hair and clothes looked very neat.

Zhao Gao invited the man into the study, and he stood at the door. Because Ying Zheng had confessed that this matter would be carried out in secret, Zhao Gao was also quite cautious.

The man handed Zhao Gao a cloth bag, and entered Yingzheng's study generously.

"Grass people Li Si, meet the King of Qin." Li Si bowed and said.

I saw that Li Si was dressed in plain clothes, but he was very decent, and his voice was also very clear.

"Excuse me, sir." Ying Zheng stood up to greet him.

Li Si got up, but did not look up.

"I heard that Mr. Xunzi was a teacher and has a very unique view on governing the country. Therefore, the widow sent the gentleman to ask for advice or two. Ying Zheng said politely.

Although Ying Zheng has just turned twenty years old, he tries his best to look very mature and calm, which is also the power of the emperor shown to those who meet for the first time.

"The grass people are ashamed." Li Si raised his head, although he was dressed plainly, he had an extraordinary temperament between his eyebrows, and his body was well-proportioned, not thin, which made people feel that he was a scribe.

"Sir, don't be modest." Ying Zheng still didn't like to be polite, and said, "Sir, please sit down and talk." ”

Li Si arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please first." ”

Ying Zheng sat on the main seat, and Li Si sat opposite Ying Zheng.

Yingzheng didn't let Li Si sit in the inner room, it was clear that he wanted to test the roughness, Li Si pretended not to know, and sat down in an orderly manner.

Ying Zheng didn't greet each other, and asked directly, "I heard that Mr. Wen has traveled to six countries, and he must have seen a lot of knowledge, so dare to ask Mr., what do you think about the things in the world today?" ”

"The affairs of the world must be divided for a long time, and they must be divided for a long time. And now, it's been long enough. Li Si also responded very directly.

Ying Zheng was a little surprised: "Oh? What does Mr. mean, will the world be united? I don't know which country has such strength. “

"The grass people say this, just to conform to the time, as for who will rule the world, it depends on the location and people." Li Si's words are clear and he seems very determined.

"The princes have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, why is it only now that the time of day is right, and which country can occupy the land, and which monarch can enjoy the people?" Ying Zheng asked one after another.

"No one will have a definite answer to this question of the king. The so-called benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and a hundred schools of thought contend, each with its own strengths. Li Si's tone was quite soft, "It's better for the king to answer a few questions from the grass people, and the answer may be revealed." ”

"Hehe, it was originally the widow who wanted to ask Mr., but the gentleman asked about the widow instead." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Presumably Mr. must have a teaching, please speak." ”

"Does the king know, 'Huaxia Jiuding'?" Lees asked.

"'Huaxia Jiuding' is the cornerstone of our Chinese civilization, the symbol of the land of Kyushu, and the royal power of the emperor. Ying Zheng was a little strange why Li Si would ask such a question.

"Yes, Jiuding is well known. But where did the nine tripods come from, who made them, what role did they play, and why did these nine tripods become the supreme treasures of China? Li Si also asked repeatedly.

"This, the legend is made by Dayu, as for the rest...... "Yingzheng has read a lot of books, but there is no very accurate relevant record.

"Regarding the matter of Jiuding, the king may know more than anyone else in the future, and it is not convenient to say more about it. What the grass people want to say is that 'Huaxia Jiuding', as a symbol of royal power, has been stored in the royal family of successive dynasties. And just more than a year ago, when Lu Xiangbang went out to fight against Wei, he used a trick to detour to the capital of Zhou Wangdu, destroyed the Great Zhou, and had robbed Jiuding back to Xianyang. Li Si said in a deep voice.

Lü Buwei's destruction of Zhou is well known in the world, but very few people know that Lü Buwei brought Jiuding back to Xianyang, and even the royal clan of Qin State does not know.

Ying Zheng thought that he had misheard, and asked urgently: "You mean, Jiuding is in the Qin State?" ”

"Yes, although Lu Xiang did not make a public announcement about the destruction of Zhou and Ding by Great Qin, he was probably afraid that various countries would take advantage of this incident to raise troops to attack Qin. But it seems that all countries are afraid of Qin's force, and there is no conclusive evidence, and the Zhou royal family has long existed in name only, so all countries dare not act rashly. Li Si spoke calmly, as if talking about a small thing in the market.

"Lu Xiangbang's news blockade is really hidden, and he doesn't even know about it." Ying Zheng looked a little annoyed.

"The grass people were also wandering among the countries, and they happened to meet a lord of the Zhou royal family, and they heard about it." Lees said.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said: "The widow will ask Lu Xiangbang to verify this matter, but what is the intention of Mr. suddenly mentioning this matter?" ”

National politics is more sensitive, and Ying Zheng seems to be vigilant.

Li Si said in a deep voice: "The king can know the truth of 'Jiuding moves, the world is easy'. ”

Ying Zheng: "!! ”

"Jiuding has changed hands, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed. The monarchs of each country are no longer princes or feudal kings, but have become the true ruler of a country. It is inevitable that a new dynasty will emerge in China to replace the Great Zhou and establish a new dynasty, which is a historical inevitability, and it is only a matter of time. Liston paused, "It's the time of day." ”

Ying Zheng's doubts suddenly decreased, and he had a feeling of seeing the sun, and nodded again and again.

"And Jiuding is now placed in the Qin State, which means that the general trend is in the Qin State. And the Qin State is also at a time when the army is strong and strong, which is also a geographical advantage. Lees continued.

Ying Zheng nodded, listening very attentively.

"The monarch is open-minded and good at using people to judge things, and talents come out in large numbers. Up and down concentric, then there is no disadvantage, this is people and also. "Lees, though speaking at a slower pace, is very coherent.

After listening to Li Si's speech, the location, people, and Yingzheng quickly thought about something.

How smart he is, it is not difficult to hear what Li Si meant, it is the trend of the times to unify China in Qin, and it also occupies the time and place, and the only thing lacking is people, because Yingzheng does not control the royal power now, and there is no one available under him, and this is exactly what he should solve the most and it is difficult to solve it at present.

Li Si lightly pointed out the key points, which shows that he has pondered the situation in the world quite thoroughly.

"According to the gentleman, do the widows have the ability to be human?" Ying Zheng asked the question he was most concerned about.

"This 'time, place, and people' is just the foolish opinion of the grass people, and they are afraid of misleading the king." Li Si arched his hand and said, "It's better to ask the king to answer the grass people's questions, and perhaps, the answer will naturally be revealed." ”

"Very well, sir." Ying Zheng said solemnly, as if he had developed respect for Li Si.

"Your Majesty, can you have the ambition of the world?" Li Si paused word by word and asked.

"Of course." Ying Zheng didn't think about it, so he said with certainty, "Since God favored the widow and became the king of Qin, the ambition of the widow lies in the world, and winning the world is also what the widow wants in his life." ”

"My lord, forgive the grass people." Li Si said, "The monarchs of various countries, and even the kings of various countries, who do not take winning the world as their goal, and even the generals who have a certain amount of military power in their hands, may have ambitions to win the world." Otherwise, how can there be constant wars in the world and the people will not be able to make a living? ”

"That's right, what monarch doesn't want to expand his territory and increase his wealth." Ying Zheng smiled and said.

"King, why don't you ask the grass people in a different way." Lees said.

Ying Zheng knew that what he said just now was indeed a little redundant, so he said, "Sir, excuse me." ”

"What is the king winning the world for? What would the king do if he one day ruled the world? Lees asked.

"The previous kings of the Great Qin Dynasty all aimed to dominate the world, but none of them achieved their long-cherished wish, which has almost become the mission of the Ying family, and the widow will spare no effort to achieve this goal." Ying Zheng said very firmly, "Besides, the countries have been fighting against each other for many years, just for the selfish interests of the monarchs. The consumption of the war has intensified the burden on the people, resulting in barren land, poor livelihood, and the separation of many families and wives, and the innocent people bearing the consequences of the war. And only the unification of the world can truly end all this, save the people from fire and water, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

"Hahaha......" Li Si suddenly laughed, a flash of divine light flashed in his eyes, and said leisurely, "What the grass people want to hear the most is these words, the grass people have traveled to the six countries and talked about the affairs of the world with the monarchs, but there is no monarch who cares about the lives of the people in the world and has the idea of saving the people from fire and water." As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, King Qin cares about the people of Li, and really has the ambition of the world! ”

"Oh? It turns out that what Mr. said about the ambition of the world refers to this meaning. Ying Zheng smiled, as if he had finally found a like-minded person.

"The king has the ambition of the world, and can be described as a generation of masters, and what he lacks is only people." Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and said calmly, "As for the current situation of the king, there are not enough people available, let alone to reach the level of people." ”

"Sir, as expected." Ying Zheng said with some embarrassment, "The widow has not yet performed the crown salute, nor has the royal power, and he is currently unable to appoint and promote the Magi, and he has not had much contact with the generals in the army. Therefore, before the royal power was obtained, there were indeed not many ways to employ people. ”

Ying Zheng finally said his sore spots.

"There are more than 10 million wizards in the world." Li Si looked at Ying Zheng and said with burning eyes, "What does the king think, how is Li Si?" ”

"Is this another question, sir?" Ying Zheng had vaguely guessed Li Si's thoughts, so he said with a smile, "Although it is the first time I have met Mr., Mr. 's talent and strategy are really admired by the widows, if Mr. can stay in the Qin State to help the widows, it will be a blessing for the Great Qin." ”

"King Li Siche takes a fancy to it." Li Si bowed down, paid tribute to Ying Zheng, and changed his title to Ying Zheng, "Although the grass people are not talented, they are willing to serve the king, for the rivers and mountains of Daqin, and serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

"Sir, please get up." Ying Zheng bent down to help Li Si up, and said excitedly and in a high-pitched voice, "With Mr. help, the widow is like adding a pair of arms, and he will definitely be able to achieve great ambitions and achieve hegemony." ”

"Since Li Si has decided to assist the king, he will definitely spare no effort." Li Si said sincerely, "The grass people have not learned much in their lives, and I hope that the king will mention more." ”

"Sir is too modest." Li Si's words, how can Yingzheng listen to it and feel comfortable today, "The name of this 'grass people', I hope that Mr. will not be surprised for the time being, and wait for the widow to find an opportunity and give Mr. a name." ”

"Your Majesty, Li Si is not a person who covets fame." Li Si said, "The so-called scholar is a confidant who dies, and the grass people have regarded the king as a confidant. ”

"Huh." Ying Zheng smiled, "The widow prefers to regard Mr. as a brother." ”

"This ...... The grass people were ashamed and did not dare to be, and only hoped that the king would send him if he had something. Li Si said with a smile.

"It's still early, why don't you sit down with the widow and have a long talk?" Ying Zheng really wanted to talk to Li Siduo.

"Your Majesty, please." Li Si did not hesitate.

"Sir, please." Seeing that Li Si did not have false politeness, Yingzheng was very happy.

Ying Zheng took Li Si's hand and entered the inner room as if he had obtained a treasure.
