Chapter 33: The Treatise of the Qin Palace (II)

Seeing that Li Si was still obedient, Lu Buwei arched his hand and asked, "I wonder if the king is satisfied with the Mr. Li Si I recommended?" ”

Li Si was beating a drum in his heart, and he could say that his future fate and future were all in the hands of this fourteen-year-old King Qin at this moment.

Ying Zheng was naturally satisfied with Li Si, but he did not answer Lu Buwei directly and affirmatively, but turned his head to look at Wu Zhan.

Wu Zhan took advantage of Lu Buwei's inattention and nodded slightly at Ying Zheng.

Xiao Yingzheng immediately understood when he saw this, so he nodded and smiled: "This Mr. Li Si has a great talent, and he was recommended by Father Zhong, so I am naturally very satisfied." ”

Lu Buwei was secretly happy when he heard this, but his face was still upright: "It is the honor of the minister to share the worries of my king!" ”

Xuan turned his head to Li Si and said: "Li Si, from now on you will stay in the palace, and the prime minister wants you to accompany the king at all times and give me guidance for the king." ”

"Li Siding lives up to the trust of the prime minister!" Li Si hurriedly replied.

"Okay, Li Si and I will hand it over to the king, and the old minister will retire!" Lu Buwei said, exchanged glances with Li Si, and then turned to leave.

After LΓΌ Buwei left, only Ying Zheng, Wu Zhan, Meng Yi and Li Si were left in the study. Li Si was still a little timid, and the whole room fell silent again.

"Does Mr. Lees still recognize me?" Wu Zhan had a smile on his face and stepped forward.

Li Si was originally lowering his head and didn't dare to look around, but when he heard this voice, it seemed a little familiar, so he couldn't help but look at the person who spoke.

The person who caught his eye was actually a chamberlain dressed in a eunuch suit, and he didn't seem to know the chamberlain in the palace. Just when Li Si was puzzled, his eyes fell on Wu Zhan's face, and then he remembered who this person was.

"You...... Are you Brother Wu? Lees was in disbelief.

"Hahaha, it's me!" Wu Zhan smiled slightly.

Didn't you join the Praetorian Guard? Why did you enter the palace and become a eunuch again? How did he get to King Qin...... A bunch of questions swirled in Li Si's mind, but because of Ying Zheng's presence, he could only hold back the question mark and did not dare to respond.

"You must be curious why I am here, and I am still the king's chamberlain?" Wu Zhan said with a hippie smile.

Li Si was guessed about the matter, but he still didn't dare to respond.

Ying Zheng on the side smiled and said: "Mr. Li doesn't have to be restrained, I have long learned from Wu Zhan's mouth that there is a great talent in the Lu Mansion who studied under Xunzi, and when I see Mr. today, he is really different from mortals." ”

didn't expect Qin Wangzheng to be so approachable, so Li Si thanked him: "The king praises falsely, Li Si doesn't dare to be." ”

"To be too modest is to be proud!"

Wu Zhan smiled: "I guess, Brother Li must have been entrusted by the prime minister to be a spy by the king's side, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Si hurriedly knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty in horror: "The king is clear, Li Si is only loyal to my king, and he will never dare to have two hearts." ”

Ying Zheng and Wu Zhan looked at each other and smiled, and then laughed together.

Their laughter made Li Si even more confused.

"You can be your spy here with peace of mind, and you can also pass on some information to Prime Minister Lu Cheng from time to time that we want him to know, isn't that good?" Wu Zhan blinked his eyes and said slyly.

"You mean to make me a double spy?" Li Si gradually understood the meaning of Wu Zhan's words.

"That's right!"

Wu Zhan snapped his fingers and said, "I know that Mr. has great ambitions in this life, but who is the Qin State of this Qin State, I think Mr. should know it well." ”

"Li Si is naturally only loyal to my king......" How could Li Si have thought that these young boys in front of him would be so difficult, and Lu Buwei's thoughts were all guessed by them, and he also knew how to plan what he wanted.

"What does Mr. Li Si think of Lu Xiangbang?" Ying Zheng stared at Li Si and asked faintly.

Lees knew that the real test had finally begun.

From Wu Zhan's words just now, it is not difficult to see that King Qin is still wary of LΓΌ Buwei, or that the two do not want to be as harmonious as they see on the surface.

After making up his mind, Li Si arched his hand and said: "Although Lu Xiangbang is kind to the Qin State, he has the mentality of a businessman, only focusing on interests and not others, and recruiting customers, eradicating dissidents, and being arrogant and domineering, it is inevitable that there will be disobedience in the future, and I ask my king to take precautions as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Ying Zheng and the others glanced at each other, and Meng Yi couldn't help but say: "Since Mr. Li is a member of Lu Mansion and has been recommended by Lu Xiangbang, why is he slandering behind his back?" ”

Li Si arched his hand and said: "Although Li Si is a member of Lu Mansion, he is also a citizen of my king, if I covet Lu Xiangbang's personal favor and lose my loyalty as a citizen of Great Qin, how is it different from treason?" ”

"You ......" Meng Yi is a martial artist, where will he be the opponent of the skillful Li Si.

But I heard Yingzheng clapping his hands and said: "Okay, well, until this moment I don't understand my husband's loyalty to me." Sir, please get up. ”

"Thank you, the king!" Li Si got up from the ground tremblingly, only to feel that the clothes on his back were already soaked.

"I think Sir's remarks that one country has just been destroyed to deter other countries are very reasonable, but as Lu Xiangbang said, what if this inspires the other five countries to join forces to attack Qin?" Ying Zheng asked loudly.

When Li Si heard this, he was first amazed that Yingzheng was so concerned about state affairs at a young age, and then he was grateful to God for taking such good care of him, so that he could meet the Lord in his lifetime......

As soon as it came to the strategy of governing the country, Li Si turned into an eloquent man, and only listened to him: "The combination of the five countries is not worth mentioning, I think that Su and Qin wanted to join forces with the six countries to fight against Qin, but they were resolved one by one by Zhang Yi's three-inch tongue, and the trend of the alliance collapsed at the touch of a button, why?" ”

"Of course, Zhang Yi's tongue is powerful, King Huiwen once praised it himself, saying that Zhang Yi's tongue is more than 100,000 elite soldiers!" Ying Zheng raised his chin and said proudly.

Li Si shook his head slightly, and said: "Although Zhang Yi is eloquent, but the most fundamental reason is that the six countries have their own ghosts, and their internal contradictions have been for a long time, such as the enmity between Yan and Qi, when Yan Le Yi led the five-nation alliance army to attack Qi and plundered more than 70 cities, if it weren't for Qi's Tiandan, I'm afraid Qi would have ceased to exist." ”

"Let's talk about Yan Zhao, as soon as the Battle of Changping ended, Yan took advantage of the defeat of Zhao to send 600,000 troops to attack Zhao, wanting to take advantage of the fire to rob, but was defeated by Zhao Guolian with hundreds of thousands of remnants, from then on, Qin occupied several cities of Zhao, and Zhao was going to occupy double the cities of Yan, and the two countries had already reached the stage of non-death."

"The three families of Han, Wei and Zhao were divided into Jin, and they should have supported each other with the same qi, but these three countries were guarding against each other, and in the battle of Changping, Han Wei sat back and watched the fiasco of Zhao is the basis, which shows that they are not of the same mind. There is also the state of Chu, if you talk about the land area, the state of Chu is definitely the most among the countries, but the state of Chu is located in the wilderness, the domestic forces are complicated, on the surface, Qin and Chu only have a lot of grievances, but when Qin Zhaoxiang was king, the battle of Qin-Chu Lantian was originally overwhelming, but in the end, it ended in a crushing defeat under the sneak attack of Han and Wei! ”

Li Si thoroughly analyzed the situation of the six countries in one go, and then concluded: "It can be seen that the six countries have no trust in attacking each other, even if they temporarily join forces, they are doomed to end in failure!" ”

After listening to Yingzheng, they all secretly marveled that Li Si was able to analyze the situation in the world so clearly and clearly, which was really admirable.

"Then, according to Mr. Wang, how can we unify the world in one fell swoop in the future?" Ying Zheng's eyes were full of expectations.

But seeing Li Si smiled slightly, he said confidently: "The competition in the way of war is nothing more than national strength, people's power, financial power and military strength, compared with military strength, the first three are the most important." Our king only needs to continue to increase the national strength of the Qin State, cherish the people's strength, do not spare financial resources, strengthen the military strength, and the six kingdoms will be at his fingertips. ”

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a teachable look: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Li Si said angrily: "Now that my king has not yet been in power, the national strength of Qin still needs to develop, at this time, my king can practice the way of espionage, prepare more gold and silver to bribe the wealth lovers of the famous people of the country, and develop it into our spy, for those who are unwilling, they will be secretly assassinated, and finally achieve the goal of dividing the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of various countries." At that time, my Great Qin will order General Yiliang to lead the army to attack, and he will be invincible! ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Ying Zheng shouted when he heard this, and then bowed to Li Si deeply, and said respectfully: "Listening to Mr. today's words made me suddenly open, please accept Ying Zheng's worship!" ”

Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly supported Yingzheng, who was about to bow down, and said in fear: "Li Si doesn't dare to be!" ”

Ying Zheng then laughed and said: "To be able to get the talent of Mr. is really the favor of God, from now on, Mr. is my long history, responsible for my study and secretary, and you can follow me to the court to listen to politics." ”

"Thank you King Qin Longen, Li Si can't repay my king's grace with broken bones!" Li Si hurriedly bowed to the ground and thanked him.

From this moment on, Li Si officially stepped onto the stage of history, he assisted Qin Wang Yingzheng all the way to reform politics, made suggestions, and finally unified the six countries, established a centralized system, and also implemented policies such as unified writing, unified weights and measures, and unified currency, and became the undisputed male number two of the Great Qin Empire, of course, this is a later story.

Li Si's impassioned rhetoric not only awakened the wild beast that swallowed the world in the depths of Ying Zheng's heart, but also ignited the fire of war in Wu Zhan's heart, at that moment he knew that his mission was by no means as simple as protecting Ying Zheng, he wanted to become the king of spies in Li Si's mouth, divide the countries and weaken the countries, and finally assist Ying Zheng to end the Warring States dispute and unify the world, which is the meaning of his life today.

Of course, Meng Yi also benefited a lot, originally in his opinion, being able to lead the warriors of Great Qin to conquer the territory like his grandfather and father and brother, and rely on force to expand the territory and conquer the city, is the biggest hero in this world. But today, after hearing Li Si's words, he knew that what was more powerful than force was resourcefulness, and it seemed that he would not only have to practice martial arts and the way of leading troops in the future, but also learn more about resourcefulness.
