Chapter 516 The meeting between Li Si and Ying Zheng
"In this world, kingship is no longer applicable, it is domineering!" Jin Yao looked at Li Si and said.
Li Si was born as a Confucian. Although he followed the path of Legalism, he still had the influence of the royal way in his heart. Everything was directed towards the royal way, but this did not apply to Qin.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." Jin Yao said.
Li Si could probably guess who Jin Yao was going to take him to see. This was also his opportunity, a chance to reach the peak of power.
Therefore, Li Si tidied up his clothes as he walked, but he was still worried inside, always afraid that he would do something wrong and leave a bad impression on the person.
"Your Majesty, Li Si, pay your respects to the king!" Li Si finally met Ying Zheng under Jin Yao's introduction, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute with a standard Confucian ceremony.
"Is this the great talent that Brother Wang said?" Ying Zheng ignored Li Si who was kneeling on the ground and looked at Jin Yao.
In Ying Zheng's opinion, a real talent should be like his former husband, who was cynical and not stick to worldly etiquette, or like Han Fei, who was neither humble nor arrogant, instead of being groveling and without arrogance like Li Si, so he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Not as good as Li Si.
Li Si knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. He also knew that Ying Zheng looked down on him in his tone, but he did not dare to raise his head without Ying Zheng's return. He always kept his bowed posture and did not move at all.
Jin Yao looked at Li Si, then lifted Li Si up with his black eyebrows, and said to Ying Zheng, "The real great people will not be arrogant because of their talents. They know how to protect themselves."
"Oh?" After hearing Jin Yao's words, Ying Zheng took a closer look at Li Si. He looked reasonable, and he and Han Fei were from the same school.
Li Si still bowed his hands and did not look at Ying Zheng, but he also straightened his body.
"I still don't see any sign of great talent!" Ying Zheng shook his head.
"When the Heshi Bi was first presented, did anyone know that it would become the second treasure of the Spring and Autumn Period?" Jin Yao asked with a smile.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, nodded, and then bowed and said, "Sir, please take a seat!"
"Here!" Li Si was still cautious, but he sat down opposite Ying Zheng with a dignified manner.
"Finally a bit of a genius!" Ying Zheng had actually been watching the changes in Li Si's expression and movements.
From the moment he walked in to the time he made the taunt, he actually wanted to see if there was any change in Li Si's expression, so as to confirm whether Li Si was available.
But although Li Si was a little nervous, he acted and sat like a machine, without any mistakes. This is not something ordinary people can do. Therefore, he knew that people like Li Si must be cautious in doing things.
"Sir, are you a Legalist?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I studied under the Confucian Master Xun, and after entering the Qin Dynasty, I switched to Qin Dharma!" Li Si answered truthfully without saying a word more.
Ying Zheng nodded, dignified but not pedantic.
"What do you think of Qin Fa, sir?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
"It already needs a major revision!" Li Si continued to answer.
"Oh?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si in surprise.
"The State of Zhao copied the reforms of the State of Qin, but also changed a lot of the laws of the Qin State. The results were remarkable. It can be seen that some of the laws of the Qin State are no longer applicable to the current situation. There is also a saying in the book of Shang Jun that the laws of the Qin State are for the purpose of enriching the country.
Strengthen the army, and the Qin State is now rich and powerful, and will expand out of Shandong."
"However, your Majesty, have you ever thought about whether Qin's laws can still be applied to the world after Qin's expansion out of Shandong, and what kind of laws the whole world will need?" Li Si asked rhetorically.
Hearing Li Si's words, Ying Zheng immediately sat up straight and apologized seriously, "Xiao Wang is ignorant and neglected sir. Please don't be upset!"
"Then please teach me, sir, how Qin will expand beyond Shandong and manage the world!" Ying Zheng asked humbly.
He really didn't expect that he would gain something in the east. He was originally sighing for not being able to conquer Han Fei, but he didn't expect to meet another great talent.
Li Si didn't hide it secretly. He knew that this was his opportunity and that his time was coming, so he told everything he had sorted out.
Ying Zheng became more and more frightened as he listened, feeling that he had met a fellow traveler who truly understood him.
Then Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie and sighed, "I thought that after my husband left, I would be my only fellow traveler in the world. I didn't expect to meet a close friend again today. It suddenly dawned on me!"
Gai Nie also nodded, and he heard clearly that Li Si proposed many things, such as canceling the enfeoffment, changing it to prefectures and counties, returning power to the central government, and taking back Xianyang; such as pretending to attack Chu, directly destroying Han, and opening the door for Qin to go east.
…
"What is your official position in Qin now, sir?" Ying Zheng then remembered that he still didn't know Li Si's current position.
】
"I am a concubine among the guests of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Li Si replied.
"When Lord Shang entered the Qin Dynasty, he was also a concubine in the palace of the Prime Minister of Wei!" Ying Zheng felt even more that this was a god-given talent. They all came from the same concubine, and now they appeared during the great reform.
"Sir, would you like to join a solitary family?" Ying Zheng said after confirming Li Si's talents.
Li Si pondered for a moment, and then looked at Jin Yao, who is now Chang'an Juncheng. He is not stupid, and he also knows that it was Jin Yao who recommended him. If Jin Yao did not agree, if he agreed, he would also give Jin Yao
Yao and Ying Zheng have the impression of being in favor of others.
"I just want to be a profligate prince, it's up to you how you choose!" Jin Yao said with a smile.
In fact, he was also shocked by Li Si. Although he was promoting the unification of the world, he did not understand the details of the process of unification and how to govern after unification.
However, Li Si could tell it in an orderly manner, and everything could become reality just like historical records. The only change was that Li Si did not know that Qin had conquered Yan and Zhao and opened the door to the east.
"Not yet!" Li Si shook his head.
"Why?" Before Ying Zheng could speak, Jin Yao spoke.
Li Si thought for a while and then replied, "Nowadays, the Qin State still has the Queen Mother Huayang, the Queen Mother Zhao, the Marquis Changxin, and the Marquis Wenxin. The king has not yet been able to rule personally, so the weaker the power displayed by the king now, the better."
"Good!" Ying Zheng was more sure of Li Si's talent, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Jin Yao and asked, "How did I know about such an outstanding person?"
"The teacher said it!" Jin Yao couldn't explain how he knew Li Si's talent, so he could only blame it on himself, well, his former self.
After all, I used to be deified by the world.
"Sir, that's it. I'm so glad that sir is gone!" Ying Zheng sighed with emotion. If the emperor Yao was still here and took the lead in extending an olive branch to Li Si, I'm afraid it would be his Qin country who would become the same laughing stock as Wei.
"Tianzi Yao?" Li Si also realized that the only person in the world who could be respected as his teacher by Ying Zheng was the Emperor Yao who pursued immortality. Well, it should be that funny guy!
