Chapter 287: Abandon the Darkness and Turn to the Light
Zhuge Teng let Li Si to the living room, and then ordered someone to make good tea and handed it to Li Si.
"I have already ordered the Inner Mansion to prepare a banquet, if Lord Li doesn't dislike it, please use some food in the Mansion." Zhuge Teng said.
"Hehe, that's a nuisance." Li Si responded with a smile.
"Lord Li is polite." Zhuge Teng said, "I heard that your Excellency is in the Qin Kingdom and has been accompanying the King of Qin to study, but is there such a thing?"
"Well, that's good." Li Si replied, "I have been living in the palace and accompanying the King of Qin to study."
"Hehe, King Qin has become a crown ceremony, saying that he is accompanied, but it is actually a guide." Zhuge Teng said with a smile, "If it weren't for Master Li's true talent and learning, how could he become an emperor?"
"The emperor doesn't dare to be a master, he just has some free time." Lees said.
Zhuge Teng took a sip of hot tea, and then said, "It doesn't matter if it's an emperor or not, the key to the problem is to be able to accompany King Qin from time to time to give advice and guidance."
"Alas! How I want to be like Lord Lee, to be able to contribute my talents to my own monarch, but it's a pity......
Li Si looked at Zhuge Teng, smiled faintly, and said, "As a county guard, Lord Zhuge should be qualified to propose his plan to King Han."
Good one to ask knowingly.
Zhuge Teng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It would be nice if King Han was really the Ming Lord. Forget it, don't mention him, let's catch the wind for Master Li below, let's drink."
The last time Zheng Guo came here, Zhuge Teng was this routine, and now, he is repeating the old trick on Li Si.
However, I have to admit that if you want to get closer to someone quickly, it is indeed best to drink alcohol.
At the beginning, the two didn't talk about political affairs, but only about family life, talking about each other's origins, origins, and good wood of their respective interests?"
Li Si smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's just a personal opinion, not everyone sees it that way."
"Hey." Zhuge Teng stretched his tone and said, "People who don't see it that way are just short-sighted, in my opinion, Daqin is indeed a better stage than the nations."
"Oh?" Li Si pretended to be surprised, "How can you see it?"
"Hehe, everyone in the world knows that after the Shang Monarch changed the law, the national strength of Great Qin has become stronger and stronger, but the spirit of Old Qin has not diminished at all." Zhuge Teng said, "And since the change of the law, such as Zhang Yi, Sima Cuo, Bai Qi, Meng Fu and other virtuous ministers and good generals have emerged in an endless stream, and even Lü Buwei, who destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, is also an undeniable talent for governing the country."
"Moreover, the king who can decide the fate of the nation is none other than the king. And since Qin Xiaogong, the successive successors of Great Qin have been talented from generation to generation, and none of them have fainted masters, and it seems that this situation is still going on with the current King of Qin."
"Moreover, the people of Daqin did not want to make progress because of their wealth, but worked harder, and their enthusiasm for joining the army was still high."
"Hehe, these points summarized below have made the Six Kingdoms attack Qin still fruitless. …… Isn't it?"
It is undeniable that Zhuge Teng's analysis is very in place, and it seems that he has paid enough attention to the past and current trend of Great Qin.
"Huh." Li Si smiled and said, "The county guard is true, but unfortunately, what Li Si values is the present, not the past. Even if the ancestors of Great Qin have earth-shattering contributions, what does it have to do with me? Even if they used to be wine bags and rice bags, what harm do they have to do with me? What is important below is only the Ming Lord, and as for those things outside the body, hehe, don't mention it!"
Li Si is right, in terms of his identity, as long as there is Yingzheng, it is enough, as for the rest, you can start from scratch.
However, Li Si's words, to Zhuge Teng's ears, were a different taste.
"Hahahaha......" Zhuge Teng laughed and said, "Mr. is really extraordinary, and he has the courage of the Shang Jun to start from scratch back then, and judging from Mr.'s words, it is enough to prove that the current King of Qin is even better than his ancestor."
"Nope." Li Si paused slightly, and said, "It's far better."
Zhuge Teng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again: "It seems that Mr. is still there."
He is a funny and humorous person, if Mr. does not give up, he will be willing to make friends with Mr. It is irreversible, I don't know what Mr. wants?"
"Hehe, then Li Si is going to climb a step higher." Li Si said with a smile.
"Where, where, it's Mr. Xia Gao Pan." Zhuge Teng raised the wine lord and said in a loud voice, "Come, do this glass."
Li Si also raised his glass: "Please!"
After the two toasted together, Zhuge Teng wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Since you want to be friendly with Mr., you can't hide your thoughts. To tell you the truth, the lower body is in Luoyi, but the heart is not in Korea."
Li Si still smiled: "I've already heard Zheng Guo talk about this."
"Oh?" Zhuge Teng was slightly startled and said, "He actually saw it? And also told the temple of Great Qin about it?"
"Hehe, in recent years, the situation in Luoyi has been known to the world, so it is not difficult to guess what Brother Zhuge thinks." Li Si said, "Even if Zheng Guo doesn't say it, King Qin will also have insight into the difficulties of Luo Yi and Zhuge Brothers."
Zhuge Teng sighed sadly and said, "Don't hide it from Mr. Don't tell me, I feel depressed in my heart, and the taste of sending people under the fence is really uncomfortable. If King Han really took Luoyi as his own land, it would be okay, but all these years...... Alas!"
A long sigh represents endless melancholy.
"I know that over the years, Luoyi has indeed been in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat." Li Si said very seriously, "It's not a secret, I came to Korea this time, and there is another purpose, that is, to be entrusted by the King of Qin to visit Lord Zhuge , if the Lord is interested, you can return to Xianyang with Li Si and talk to the King of Qin."
Zhuge Teng raised his eyebrows, his lips trembled twice, and he said urgently, "King Qin really wants to summon me?"
Li Si nodded and said, "Not bad. First, King Qin wants to make more compensation to Luoyi, and secondly, he also wants to make a plan for Luoyi's way out."
"Then I don't know, what kind of way out does King Qin want to give Luoyi?" Zhuge Teng asked.
"If your lord is willing, Luoyi can get rid of Han and attach to Qin." Li Si said firmly, "Great Qin, not only will not levy taxes on Luoyi, but on the contrary, he will allocate a large amount of money and goods to help Luoyi."
"Is that true?" Zhuge Teng's eyes were about to pop out.
"Naturally, take it seriously." Li Si said, "Such a big thing, how can it be child's play, if the adults don't believe it, you can go to Xianyang with you."
Zhuge Teng took two deep breaths and thought quickly in his mind.
After a few breaths, his mood seemed to have calmed down, and he said slowly: "This matter is related to the people of the whole city, not I can do it alone, and I have to listen to everyone's opinions, and now I can only agree to go to Qin with Mr., and after discussing with the King of Qin, we can confirm this matter."
Li Si heard him say this and knew the matter
He was already halfway there, and he said, "That's how it should be. In the future, when the adults saw the face of King Qin, everything was naturally clear. However, for now, I hope that the adults can do Li Si a favor."
"Sir, please." Zhuge Teng said.
Li Si took a sip of wine, and then said, "The main purpose of my visit to Korea this time is to invite Han Fei to Qin State, first, to assist Zheng Guo in repairing canals, and secondly, King Qin also admires Han Fei's talent and has the intention to recruit him. I don't know if Lord Zhuge will be able to maneuver around this."
Zhuge Teng's eyes rolled, and he said, "Han Fei is a person with a strange personality, if this happens, he needs to have a careful plan. Let me think about it for a while, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
"Good!" Li Si said, "If this matter is successful, then the matter of Luoyi will be one step closer."
"Hahaha." Zhuge Teng smiled, "I hope so, come, drink."
The two of them raised the wine again and drank it happily.
On the morning of the second day, Zhuge Teng did not show up, and Li Si knew that he was gathering his subordinates to discuss important matters together, so he did not urge.
It wasn't until Shen Shi that Zhuge Teng sent someone to bring Li Si to the meeting room.
In addition to Zhuge Teng, there are two more middle-aged men in the hall, and it seems that they should be Zhuge Teng's henchmen.
The younger one, named Zhuge Ming, is Zhuge Teng's younger brother.
The older one, named Ji Yan, is a descendant of the Eastern Zhou royal family, and he is also one of the few people surnamed Ji who stayed in Luoyi.
After several people saluted each other, Zhuge Teng took the lead and said, "Li Tingwei, after our discussion, we have decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but some conditions still have to be explained to the King of Qin in person."
"Hehe, it's good to decide." Li Si said with a smile, "The conditions you put forward will naturally be proposed by you to King Qin in person."
"Well, when you return to Daqin, I will go to Xianyang with you." Zhuge Teng said.
"Okay."
"Again." Zhuge Teng said, "Regarding Han Fei's matter, we have come up with a plan, but I don't know if it is feasible."
"Lord Zhuge please speak." Lees said.
Zhuge Teng cleared his throat and said, "At present, Great Qin is purchasing a lot of goods, and except for Zhao and Chu, almost all the caravans of the rest of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Yan will pass through Luoyi and enter the Qin realm westward. Therefore, if Luoyi detains one of the caravans, then the kingdom must think that the king of Han did it."
"In the light case, this country will send an envoy to Korea to negotiate, and in the heavy case, it is possible to send troops directly to attack. Regardless of whether it is negotiation or sending troops, in the end, Daqin needs to come forward to solve the problem."
"At that time, the King of Qin can force the King of Han to send Han Fei to Xianyang to negotiate on the condition that Han Fei enter Qin."
"This plan is flexible, it can control the development of the situation in his own hands, and it is far better to have King Han send an edict to send Han Fei than to directly invite Han Fei."
Zhuge Teng's strategy was indeed quite subtle, and Li Si also nodded again and again after hearing it.
"In this way, it would be necessary to wronged Lord Zhuge to offend some people." Li Si said with a smile.
"Hehe, as long as it helps King Qin a lot, not to mention offending some people, even if it destroys Korea, it should be." Zhuge Teng said without hesitation.
After all, this is an opportunity to fight for the chips of Luoyi.
"Well, that's decided." Lees said.
"Mr. may need some help on this trip, so Zhuge Ming will accompany Mr. to Xinzheng." Zhuge Teng said.
Zhuge Ming stepped forward and bowed to Li Si.
Li Si also returned the salute.
The day was trimmed, and on the second day, accompanied by Zhuge Ming, Li Si embarked on the road to Xinzheng.
