Chapter 17: Where is the gentleman?

Zheng Guo, who heard the voice, turned around and just saw a small guy coming over.

After bowing, the man spoke: "The prime minister of my family invited Lord Zheng to the mansion to talk. ”

Only then did Zheng Guo recognize this person, it was Li Yuan, the most trusted housekeeper by Li Si's side.

Although Zheng Guo did not often make friends with the ministers of the DPRK and China, he still did not dare to refuse the invitation of the prime minister.

"I know."

When he arrived at Li Si's house, Zheng Guo respectfully saluted Li Si, and then sat on the couch familiarly, "See the prime minister." ”

Li Si knows Zheng Guo very well, and although he is not good at political affairs, he is also deeply trusted by His Majesty.

And he likes to go straight, so he didn't go around in circles and smiled at Zheng Guo.

"I heard that you went to Xianyang Prison today, I don't know what it was for?"

Zheng Guo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Li Si to ask about it.

Then I thought about it again, and with Li Si's influence in the court, it was not difficult to know these things.

What's more, it's no secret that he wants to write a book.

Even if you tell Li Si, there will be no problem in thinking about it.

"Back to Prime Minister, Your Majesty asked the subordinate officials to write a book on farming, I am only a shallow learner, where can I afford such a big responsibility."

"Your Majesty proposed that you can go to Xianyang Prison to ask Fusu, and when you go to Xianyang Prison, you can't go as an official, so I put on my regular clothes and went to Xianyang Prison."

Speaking of this, the expression on Zheng Guo's face was slightly excited, he looked at Li Si and said excitedly, "I didn't expect that in this Xianyang prison, there is a god who not only taught the lower officials the essentials of writing books, but also the method of improving farm tools, called the short quyuan plow!" ”

"Xia Guan saw that if this method is used properly, then the pressure on Daqin's farming will definitely be reduced in the future! I'm afraid the output will not be the same! ”

Li Si was shocked, how could His Majesty suddenly ask Zheng Guo to write a book?

And I didn't even know about this matter, could it be that there was any connection with the person in Xianyang Prison?

First repaired the book, and now writes the book, it seems that this person has a great influence on His Majesty, if this person is not good to Daqin, it is not a good thing.

But he didn't show anything on his face, just asked lightly: "Oh? There are such capable people in the world, it is really my blessing to Daqin. ”

"If that's the case, then why didn't Your Majesty summon this person into the court?"

"Isn't this person guilty of some serious crime?"

"This ......" Zheng Chinese hesitated a little, which was also what he couldn't figure out, "The lower officials don't know, but they just see that the relationship between Fusu Gongzi and Na Ran Fang is very good, and listening to His Majesty's tone, he is also happy to see this matter come to pass." ”

Hearing Zheng Guo say a name, Li Si also muttered in his mouth: "Ran Fang? ”

This name is very familiar, isn't it the person who was deliberately left behind when His Majesty released the Confucian students in Xianyang Prison that day?

At that time, he thought that this Ran Fang had offended His Majesty, but now it seems that it should not be such a simple matter.

"That short curved plow, can you let the official take a look?"

"Naturally, you can."

After Zheng Guo finished speaking, as soon as Li Si beckoned, a person came up with a tray, and he could see that there was a meter of white on the tray.

"What does that mean?"

Seeing that Zheng Guo didn't understand, Li Si said with a smile: "This thing is called paper, it can be written and painted, it is light and flexible, and it is very convenient." ”

"It must be much more convenient for you to draw that short curved plough directly on this object than it is for you to draw it on your clothes."

Looking at the paper in the tray, the shock in Zheng Guo's eyes couldn't be hidden.

He gently touched the paper with his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the legendary paper?" What a god. ”

As he spoke, he cautiously picked up the brush at hand, for fear that he would accidentally drip ink on the paper.

Then I gently painted on the paper, but there was no smudging, and the ink was not frivolous on the paper, but seeped into the paper, which was much clearer than on the bamboo slips.

With just a few strokes, he drew the Quyuan plough engraved on his heart, and marked some details on it.

"Please take a look."

Immediately, someone stepped forward, picked up the tray, and put it in front of Li Si.

Seeing Li Si in front of him, he couldn't see anything special about this thing, but when he saw the note next to him, he also had a general understanding in his heart, which was more convenient than the iron ploughshare.

"It's a wonderful thing."

"That Ran Fang has such a talent, and it is indeed buried in this prison."

He didn't say the next sentence, that is, if Ran can use it for himself, it would be the best.

Zheng Guo knew that Li Si had always been eager to seek talents, and it would be a good thing if he could enter Li Si's disciple.

"What the prime minister said is very true, it is better for the prime minister to go to His Majesty to plead for mercy, maybe he can release this person from Xianyang Prison."

Li Si shook his head, if His Majesty has the heart to let Ran Fang out of prison, are you afraid that there will be no chance?

Now, I'm afraid that His Majesty is unwilling, but he hasn't figured out the key yet.

It seems that he is also going to go to the Xianyang prison.

"Your Majesty has his own decision in this matter, and it is enough for the courtiers to do their own thing."

"That's what the prime minister said."

Zheng Guo was still worried about Qu Yuanli in his heart, and after chatting with Li Si for a few words, he got up and said goodbye.

After a few days, Li Si decided to go to Xianyang Prison in person to see what was different about Ran Fang?

I have long heard that this Fu Su and Ran Fang are eating and drinking in prison, but when he saw it in person today, he felt that the rumors were still a little biased.

Look at this cell, there are not only beds, but also bathtubs and wardrobes in the corners.

On the table, there are good tea leaves and snacks......

This kind of treatment, just "eat and drink without worrying" is not enough to describe, if it is not in prison, he would still think that he came to someone's house.

"Young Master Su, how are you doing?"

Ran Fang, who was writing a small seal, was startled by the sudden sound.

Looking at the words on the bamboo slip again, Ran Fang couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

Originally, this word was difficult to write, and I was about to finish a chapter, but it was in vain.

He sighed, turned his head to look at Li Si, who was standing outside the fence, and looked at Fusu suspiciously.

Fusu, who heard the movement, turned around and was a little surprised to see Li Si.

Why is Lees here?!

In Fusu's view, Li Si is a meritorious man who helped his father sweep the six countries all the way, and his status in the court is extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is second only to his father.

The prince in the palace respects this prime minister of Great Qin and is more afraid, and he is better, but when facing Li Si, he is still a little restrained.

Without waiting for Fu Su to speak, Li Si took the lead and said: "I am Li Xun, a friend of Su Gongzi's teacher, and I am entrusted by his teacher to come here today to have a look. ”

This was said to Ran Fang, but it was also said to Fusu, hoping that he would not say the wrong thing for a while.

After Li Si finished speaking, he signaled, and the jailer standing behind him immediately stepped forward, opened the door and made a gesture of please.

Seeing this scene, Ran Fang was a little surprised in his heart, this jailer has always been fierce and vicious, and he was so polite to this person, isn't this person's identity?

Looking at Na Fusu again, he stood up as if he wanted to salute, but he held back stiffly, looking at Li Xun's eyes dodging, and his movements were slightly restrained.

And counting the people who have come to see him in the past few days, Ran Fang can't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Fusu stretched out his hand slightly embarrassed and motioned for Li Si to sit down.

"Sit, sir."

Li Si nodded slightly, tidied up his clothes before kneeling there, and his every move showed the feeling that this person's identity was not ordinary.

Waiting for Li Si to sit down, Ran Fang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Dare to ask sir, I don't know where to get up?"
