Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Li Si still remembered that small gadgets like sachets became popular only after the Qin State unified the six kingdoms. The long-lasting fragrance and exquisite appearance made sachets popular among high-ranking officials very quickly.Out of curiosity, Li Si, who was already the prime minister of Qin at that time, specially sent someone to ask for advice on how to make the sachet.

Although the sachets made by the Lanling Xiuniang are still not comparable to those at that time, for the scholars in Lanling, this scented sachet is novel enough for them. More and more scholars began to wear bluegrass sachets, and more and more businessmen joined the ranks of manufacturing and selling sachets.

But the strange thing is that Li Si's life didn't seem to change because of the creation of the sachet, and even after that day, Li Si never mentioned the sachet again.

Seeing that his younger brother's work and rest had returned to the same as before, Han Fei guessed in his heart that Li Si had probably given up using this method to make money. Even if he had a novel idea, Li Si was just a scholar after all, so how could he fight against those merchants.

Because of this small sachet, a vigorous business war broke out in Lanling, which was originally peaceful, and the price of the orchid sachet was once suppressed to the lowest level. On the second day, the bustling Lanling Street resumed. Quiet, those vendors have all left.

A few days later, a shop specializing in the business of sachets opened in Lanling. There were all kinds of sachets inside. The exquisite styles represented different meanings, but the price of the sachets was also astonishingly expensive.

That shop has a strange name - "Chu Mo Ge".

Of course, none of this was Han Fei's concern.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Si has been studying in Cangshan Academy for three years.

In the Cangshan Academy, Li Si and Han Fei's academic progress was so rapid that Xunzi felt that there was nothing to teach, and outside the Cangshan Academy, the general situation of the world was changing even more.

On this day, Xunzi left Han Fei and Li Si alone after the lecture.

Looking at his two proud students, Xun Ziyu said earnestly, "You two have been in the Cangshan Academy for more than three or four years. Now that you have accomplished something in your studies, you should be able to go out to become an official and secure the country."

Hearing Xunzi's words, Li was very surprised. One must know that in the last life, Li Si and Han Fei asked Xunzi to resign from the mountain and become an official after six full years of study in the Cangshan Academy. In this life, it was three years earlier. For a long time, it was Xunzi who took the initiative to suggest that the two go out of the mountain.

Thinking of this, Li Si hurriedly said: "There is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, Li Si feels that his talents are ignorant, and I hope the teacher will allow Li Si to continue studying in the academy!"

Han Fei also responded: "Han Fei also hopes that the teacher will allow it."

Xunzi sighed deeply: "It's not that I don't want to keep you as a teacher, it's just that there is nothing to teach as a teacher. I also know that you two have great ambitions. Instead of staying in the academy to waste your time, it is better to come out of the mountain as soon as possible to show your grand plans."

"teacher……"

"Okay, don't need to say more, you will perform the ceremony of leaving the teacher in three days, and go out of the mountain."

Xunzi's tone was so resolute that Li Si and Han Fei could only clasp their hands together and said, "My disciple obeys."

Just when the two were about to leave the door, Xunzi suddenly asked, "Li Si, where do you want to go after you leave the mountain?"

Li Si was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Han Fei beside him, who was also looking at him.

How should I choose?

Li Si was a little hesitant at this moment, he said hesitantly: "Disciple, I haven't considered it yet..."

Xunzi said with a leisurely smile, "With your talent, you can achieve great things in any country! You should think it over as soon as possible!"

After coming out from Xunzi, Han Fei took Li Si to the tavern for a drink, saying that he wanted to drink the old Lanling wine from Lanling again before his brothers parted.

After entering the tavern, Li Si had just drank a large bowl of wine when he heard Han Fei tentatively ask, "I don't know where my brother is going, so don't say something like 'I haven't thought about it'. You and I are brothers, so there is no need to hide anything." .”

Li Si shook his head with a smile, and asked Han Fei, "Brother, tell me, where should I go?"

Han Fei pondered for a moment, and said: "Junior brother has the talent to know the world. In my opinion, junior brother should follow the example of Shang Jun and enter Qin Dynasty, enter a weak and small country, and turn the weak country into a strong one. Naturally, he will achieve some achievements and reputation."

Li Si drank another bowl of wine, but still didn't say a word.

Seeing Li Si's silence, Han Fei thought that Li Si was considering his proposal, so he continued: "The strength of the six countries in the Central Plains is not as good as that of Qin, and Qi is thirsty for talents. Junior brother can go to Qi to try."

The six countries in the Central Plains were all weak, and South Korea was the weakest among them. Looking at the young man in front of him silently, all Li Si wanted was an invitation from Han Fei.

I just want you to open your mouth and invite me to your Korea. Is it that difficult?No matter in the previous life or in this life, why is it so difficult for you to open your golden mouth?

Thinking so depressed in his heart, Li Si raised his head and drank another large bowl of Lanling old wine.

Seeing Li Si so depressed, Han Fei's mood was not much better. Thinking that he and Li Si might be separated in the future, holding a wine bowl, facing the moonlight outside the door, Han Fei sang loudly: "Fen Wu Not only has this inner beauty, but it also focuses on cultivation. Hu Jiangli and Pizhi are admired by Ren Qiulan."

It was the Song of Chu "Li Sao" that Li Si once taught him. He chose a different country. The next time they meet, they will already be enemies. Perhaps, this will be the last time they will sing this song "Li Sao" together.

"If Miyu is about to reach me, I am afraid that the age will not be with me. But if the grass and trees are falling, I am afraid that the beauty will be late."

Singing and drinking like this, before I knew it, it was time for the tavern to close.

Chu's Lanling wine is famous for its mellow aroma. It doesn't feel intoxicating when you drink it, but it has a strong aftertaste. So when Li Si and Han Fei left the tavern, they were both drunk.

Walking crookedly on the way back to the school hall, it was already late at night, with a bright moon in the sky, and the silver light sprinkled on the two of them, and Han Fei looked at the people around him with drunken eyes.

Li Si next to him was shoulder-length, his cheeks were slightly red, and under the moonlight, he looked like a jade tree Qiongzhi. Although he was born in common clothes, his temperament and knowledge were no less than that of himself who was born in a Korean nobleman.

South Korea, thinking of his origin, Han Fei couldn't help but think of his homeland, South Korea, where he was surrounded by gangsters and fell into a quagmire.

Fortunately, after the battle of Shangdang and the Battle of Changping, the national power of Qin and Zhao was greatly damaged, and both countries were flawless to the outside world. Other countries focused on dealing with Qin, forming alliances with powerful countries and paying tribute every year. Finally got rid of the fate of being invaded for a while, and got some breathing time.

However, this kind of tranquility is only temporary, and the tranquility exchanged for surrender and gold and silver is nothing but false peace.It's a pity that in the Korean court, there are very few people who can see through this point.

Looking at what South Korea has done over the years and listening to how others talk about South Korea, even though Han Fei is unusually sober, he can't do anything.

The saddest thing is that everyone is drunk and I am sober.

Therefore, if you want to revitalize Korea, you alone are not enough. If Li Si enters Korea...

Thinking of this, perhaps because of alcohol, Han Fei's head became hot, he grabbed Li Si's hands, looked into Li Si's eyes, Han Fei said sincerely: "Junior brother, come with me to Korea, I promise you, If I become the king of Han, you will be my prime minister."

Hearing the first half of Han Fei's sentence, Li Si sighed in his heart that Han Fei was finally willing to speak, but when Han Fei said the second half of the sentence, Li Si's wine immediately woke up, his heart was beating non-stop, and he was sweating coldly. Keep venting outside.

Hurrying to cover Han Fei's mouth, Li Si first looked at the dark streets around vigilantly, then leaned into Han Fei's ear and whispered: "You don't want to die! If this is said from the mouth of an ordinary scholar Well, you are a Korean nobleman, if this word reaches the ears of King Han..."

"Noble... How about noble?" Grabbing Li Si's hand covering his mouth, Han Fei smiled foolishly and replied vaguely, "Junior brother, do you know that I envy you? Although you are a commoner, but With a free body, you can enter a powerful country, choose a master, and achieve a great fame with your own strength. If you don’t succeed, you can find another country. But I, Han Fei, am a nobleman, but like a bird in a cage, I was born in my country. Death is the master, and good strategies are useless. Only when Han Fei dies can Han Fei get rid of this so-called brand of nobleman! Han Fei... Han Fei has no escape! There is no way to go! Hahahahaha! "

The empty and quiet street was filled with Han Fei's laughter, which was full of sadness and desolation.

"Brother..."

Li Si recalled Han Fei in his previous life. No matter when he was studying in the Cangshan Academy or when he was forced to enter Qin Dynasty, Han Fei was so lonely and arrogant. He thought that Han Fei was born in a noble family and looked down on those ordinary people. He never thought about it. Han Fei actually had such unknown pain.

But now, Li Si finally understood why Han Fei drank the poisonous wine he sent without hesitation in the end.For Han Fei, only when he dies and turns into ashes can he get rid of the shackles of being a nobleman, and be worthy of both his bloodline and the way of the world in his heart.

Hearing Li Si's voice, Han Fei stopped laughing, turned sideways, and suddenly hugged Li Si, he buried his face deeply in Li Si's shoulder, sniffing the faint fragrance of Li Si, Han Fei seemed to be exhausted With all the strength in his body, Han Fei could only say softly at this time: "The building will fall, and there is no way to support it alone. Han Fei tried to save South Korea with his own strength, but it was just a drop in the bucket. At that time, the younger brother had the world in his heart, so how could he be able to see it?" A mere weak Korean..."

Before he could finish speaking, a pair of strong hands had already supported Han Fei's shoulders. Immediately, Han Fei heard Li Si's voice coming from his ear: "Does what brother just said still count?"

Han Fei looked up in astonishment, but saw Li Sizhong's eyes full of determination and seriousness without any hint of ridicule.

"If Senior Brother becomes the King of Han, Junior Brother, I will be Prime Minister Han. Does that still count?"

"Master, junior brother! Are you willing to enter Korea?" Because he was too surprised, Han Fei stuttered again.

"Why, Brother Han, do you still want to go back on your word?" Li Si asked with a sly blink of his eyes.

"How could it be! South Korea has Li Si, just like Qin has Shang Yang, and South Korea has changed from weak to strong, just around the corner! By the way, junior brother, this is for you!"

Confused, he took a cloth pouch from Han Fei's hand. Li Si put it under the moonlight and looked at it carefully. The crooked needle corners and the faint scent of bluegrass, what do you think of the sachets on the market? Incomplete version.

"What is this?" Although he had vaguely guessed in his heart, Li Si still held the cloth bag in his hand and asked Han Fei with a smile.

Facing Li Si's drunken but still bright eyes, Han Fei replied with some embarrassment: "This is a bluegrass sachet I made myself. My junior brother said that people in Chu State prefer bluegrass. It was originally intended as a farewell Now, let’s treat it as a gift from the younger brother to enter Korea.”
