A Romantic Story of a Girl from the Qin Dynasty

The plan to destroy the Six Kingdoms has been launched. Naturally, it is not something that Ying Zheng can do alone. Although the Qin State is powerful today, Ying Zheng is also thirsty for talents. He hopes that more capable and righteous people can come to Qin to assist him. Complete the great cause of the empire.

In an accidental conversation with a minister, Ying Zheng learned that Korea, which was declining day by day, actually had a very outstanding thinker named Han Fei.

Unlike the increasingly popular Confucian school, Han Fei was a member of the Legalist school and respected ruling the country by law. This idea coincided with Ying Zheng.

"Li Si, do you recognize this Han Fei? He is in South Korea with you, have you heard of him?"

When Ying Zheng mentioned Han Fei to Li Si, Li Si panicked.

Even Li Si himself had to admit that Han Fei was better than himself in terms of talent, learning and conduct.

"Yes... Wei Chen recognizes..."

But Li Si had no intention of hiding his acquaintance with Han Fei. When he saw his eyes roll, he already had an idea.

"Weichen was his classmate, and he also learned from Xunzi."

"really?"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

"In the past few days, I have read his works "Gu Anger" and "Five Beetles", and I have benefited quite a lot. Although I have never met him, the way of governing the country he conveyed is very consistent with Gu's thoughts. Maybe We can chat with him for a while alone."

"Your Majesty... you mean..."

Li Si's heart was pounding. The king in front of him seemed to be very interested in Han Fei. He really didn't want to hear what Ying Zheng said next! But he had to stand in this hall and pretend to be interested.

"Can you please invite Mr. Han Fei to come to Qin? I want to talk to him about the school of thought he advocates. I also want to ask him about the overall situation of the world now and how to calm down the troubled times. If Gu unified the world, And what kind of thoughts should be used to govern the country and win back the people's hearts?"

"My lord! You...you are so confused!"

As soon as Li Si heard that Ying Zheng wanted Han Fei to join the Qin Dynasty, he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed to Ying Zheng several times.

"What are you doing?"

Ying Zheng showed a bit of displeasure, knowing that Li Si did not agree with his idea.

"Although Han Fei is knowledgeable and talented, he is a Korean son after all. You want to ask a Korean clan member to talk to you about how to govern the country and how to help you regain the world. Isn't this... a fantasy?"

"You are presumptuous!"

Ying Zheng slammed the table and stood up. Seeing that Li Si actually refuted his idea, he was naturally angry.

"Why should Gu want to ask Han Fei to join the Qin Dynasty? The school of thought he advocates will definitely help our Qin Dynasty unify the world! Li Si... are you worried that Gu Zhong will use Han Fei and abandon you, so you push back? ?”

Today's Ying Zheng is no longer the little king who was controlled by Lu Buwei. Now he has his own ideas, a school of thought that he admires, and his own ideas. How could all his previous efforts be wasted as soon as Li Si refuted it?

"Wei Chen doesn't dare! Wei Chen doesn't dare...it's just..."

Li Si fell on the ground and said tremblingly

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. When I first studied under Xunzi with him, he was very stubborn. Although he studied under Xunzi of the Confucian school, Hui Hui argued with his master in class over their differences in ideas. The two of them were He was so angry that he never gave in, even if the master was angry, so he left the master and inherited Legalist ideas."

Li Si's words did not make Ying Zheng have any bad impression of Han Fei. Instead, he admired his personality of arguing with reason. Since this person was straight-tempered, he would naturally not say anything oblique in front of him. If you go round and round, it is also difficult for a king to want his ministers to know everything and tell them everything! If I could chat with him for a few words, I would benefit a lot!

"Go and invite Han Fei!"

"what?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with a dark face. Li Si saw that the king in front of him was difficult to serve. He looked like he would kill his whole family if he refuted it. He didn't dare to say any more. He could only frown and swallow. Nodding in embarrassment

"Yes, Wei Chen... Wei Chen thinks of a way..."

Ying Zheng looked at his answer, sat down angrily, and then said

"If you write a letter and he doesn't come, then go to South Korea, invite him, and say that the king of Qin has admired his knowledge for a long time and wants to have in-depth communication with him. He is here with an open mind to ask for advice. I’m here, I hope Han Fei won’t refuse.”

Although Li Si nodded, his mood was not at all happy! South Korea was already in danger. Once the city was destroyed, it would surely fall apart. How could it possibly compete with the Qin State? But now, the king of the Qin State had such a low profile that he invited a Korean clan to discuss the idea of ​​destroying other countries and unifying the world. , it’s really incredible.

Seeing that he was reluctant to respond, Ying Zheng lowered his voice and asked

"Are you having any trouble with this?"

"No, no... Weichen is not in any trouble. Weichen immediately wrote a letter and sent people to South Korea as fast as possible! Han Fei will be invited to Qin! Your Majesty, you can rest assured!"

Li Si's conversation with the monarch today was not as peaceful as before. Ying Zheng saw that Li Si seemed to be very concerned about his reuse of other ministers, and felt a little unhappy, so he sent him out of the palace early.

Li Si drooped his head, naturally unwilling to do so. Li Si, his former high-spirited favorite, was about to be relegated to the "cold palace"! If Han Fei really came to Qin and fell in love with Ying Zhengliao, where would he have a place for himself? !

The cold winter wind made people's cheeks hurt, but this didn't bother Li Si. He was troubled, but he had to do this to shoot himself in the foot.

Shimi saw Li Si's dejected look from afar. Could it be that Ying Zheng was in a bad mood today? Did you scold all the ministers?

"Master Li...how are you these days?"

Originally, he brought ginseng tea to visit Ying Zheng, but when he met Li Si, Shimi also chatted with him for a few words.

"Master Li seems to be in a bad mood today. What's wrong?"

Li Si raised his eyes to see Shimi and saluted him with a grimace.

"See the queen..."

"Sir, you used to walk with the wind in your step. Why do you feel weak in your steps today?"

Li Si shook his head and complained.

"My Lady, you don't know something. Just now, Your Majesty asked Wei Chen to invite the young master from South Korea to enter the palace. Your Majesty wanted to talk to him about the Legalist school of thought. But... how could the Korean clan come to Qin to talk to you? Let’s drink and chat! It’s really embarrassing for me!”

Seeing the bitter look on his face, Shimi asked again

"Which expert are you inviting? Your Majesty values ​​you so much."

"Who else could it be? It's Wei Chen's former classmate, Han Fei! I don't know what method this guy used to make the king know about his life and deeds in Korea. The king is now obsessed with him... !”

"You mean Han Feizi?!!"

Shikiya's eyes lit up.
