Chapter 31 Zhao Gao is a teacher?
The words of the First Emperor made Li Si feel slightly moved.
Obviously, the First Emperor valued this sixteenth son who suddenly rose to prominence, which is why he gave such instructions.
For example, the 18th Young Master Hu Hai was very fond of pampering him, and even ordered Zhao Gao to teach Hu Hai as his teacher, but he never did anything to avoid it.
Li Si was indeed good at figuring out the First Emperor's thoughts, but this time it wasn't just about guessing.
It's because Li Si knows more about Ying Gao than Meng Tian, Dun Ruo and others.
The court officials knew very little about the fact that the most favored 18th Young Master was beaten and beaten by the always cowardly 16th Young Master in Lanchi Palace.
But Li Si, who is in charge of Tingwei Mansion, knows it.
The two sons of the First Emperor, among whom the eighteenth son was the most favored, even used swords. How could Li Si not pay attention to this matter?
It was precisely because Li Si paid attention that the First Emperor could know.
The chicken soup that Ying Gao fed Hu Hai did not avoid Hu Hai's attendants. It is naturally easy to find out.
There is great terror between life and death.
If he really died, what would be the difference between him and the ants on the street? Can his father remember him?
What sad words? What admiration?
He has never left the palace, he is precocious but gentle and timid, and his reputation is not well-known among other princes, which is normal.
A great terror between life and death leads to a change in one's character. Isn't it quite reasonable?
Li Si knew that he could think of this, and the First Emperor must also be able to think of it.
Those who are both fathers feel the same way.
"This is what a man should be like", the person who "should be like" is the First Emperor.
That's why when Zhangtai Palace saw Ying Gao staring at him that day, Li Si nodded to him.
Otherwise, Li Si, who thinks highly of himself, would care about a transparent young master?
When he saw the news coming from Wangyi Palace, Li Si's first reaction was, "Your Majesty is really like his father, the Qilin Son."
Among the many princes of the First Emperor, Fusu, the eldest, looked down upon Li Si. How could Li Si look upon the pedantic and kind-hearted Fusu?
The rest of the young men were all mediocre in intelligence. The First Emperor knew that Li Si naturally looked down on him.
The most favored eighteenth son was just because he admired his father too much. He was very young and was especially good at being cute and coquettish. The First Emperor knew this, and the ministers in the court also knew it.
Therefore, Li Si was very supportive of the First Emperor's pursuit of immortality.
The heirs are mediocre, but if the First Emperor attains immortality and his ministers enjoy the blessings, wouldn't it be wonderful to follow the First Emperor and rule the world forever?
Nowadays, the medicine of immortality is out of reach, but suddenly having such a father Qilin son seems to have another choice for the First Emperor, Li Si, and Da Qin.
At this moment, the voice of the First Emperor came out from the main hall again.
"I think Gao Gao's early wisdom was mostly based on the theories and ancient books of those sages. He knows very little about our laws in Da Qin. He is really stubborn and ignorant."
The First Emperor was in a particularly good mood and couldn't help but snorted angrily,
"Your Majesty, the Sixteenth Young Master is still young, so how many masters of law are there in Da Qin? Your Majesty only needs to find a good mentor for the Young Master. With the Young Master's early wisdom, it will be as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."
Meng Tian stepped forward in time to respond.
As soon as these words came out, Meng Yi in the palace suddenly became weak, and Yang Duan and the three others glanced at Li Si and Zhao Gao.
Who doesn’t know the meaning behind the words of the First Emperor?
After repeated school examinations, with the precocious wisdom of the sixteenth son, if he studied the law carefully, it would be impossible for him to fail to answer the laws and regulations asked by the First Emperor.
If he could answer very well, the First Emperor must have noticed his son long ago.
The First Emperor has even found a reason for the Sixteenth Young Master now. Who among the people in the palace can’t understand?
Obviously, he intends to find a teacher for the Sixteenth Young Master.
The First Emperor had already said before that it should not be discussed with outsiders, so it seems that the only people in the palace who can be teachers to the Sixteenth Young Master are these few people in the palace.
On the road of law, Meng Tian, Dun Ruo, Meng Yi and Yang Duan all know their own affairs, and there is no way for the four of them to compare with Li Si and Zhao Gao.
Then the only people who can teach the Sixteenth Young Master in the way of law are obviously Li Si and Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao, who was born in the palace, was a little excited when he heard the first emperor's words.
Obviously, the Sixteenth Young Master is very pleased with the First Emperor. It would be great if he could be his teacher again, and then the two most beloved sons of the First Emperor would come from his own sect.
It's just that he already has the eighteenth son Hu Hai as his disciple, but Zhao Gao doesn't dare to directly recommend himself at this moment.
But Zhao Gao was not too worried. After all, no one in the court knew that Zhao Gao taught the eighteenth son Hu Hai very well.
This is his advantage.
"Your Majesty, I have the audacity to recommend myself as the teacher of the 16th Young Master. I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations and teach the Young Master the way of law."
Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao, stood up and bowed to the ground.
In the main hall, Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly when he heard Li Si's words.
Meng Tian and the four of them looked at each other and sighed secretly in their hearts. This Chu native Li Si really understood the First Emperor's thoughts best.
When the First Emperor was looking for a teacher for the Eighteenth Young Master, he asked Li Si, but Li Si declined and recommended Zhao Gao.
So Zhao Gao became Hu Hai's teacher.
This time, I never thought that Li Si would take the initiative to recommend himself as the teacher of the Sixteenth Young Master.
Li Si, who was prostrate on the ground, didn't care what others thought. He only knew one thing, and he had to fight for it.
If he had not fought, he would have been driven out of the Qin Dynasty long ago when the First Emperor expelled the ministers of the Six Kingdoms under the advice of the clan and a group of old Qin nobles.
There is no more Tingwei Li Si, one of the current Nine Qings.
Only the First Emperor, who was lying on his side in the palace, had no look of surprise on his face.
He knew Li Si very well, and a "Book of Remonstrance and Expulsion" allowed him to recruit many good ministers and officials from the six countries, and finally swept Liuhe.
Now, apart from him, Li Si in the palace knows all about Ying Gao best.
What he said was very clear. If Li Si didn’t fight, then he wouldn’t be Li Si.
The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Gao who was standing beside him, pondered for a moment and said with a smile,
"I am very pleased that you can recommend yourself as Gao's teacher. However, things in Tingwei's mansion are complicated and the prime minister is getting old. I think Zhao Gao is more suitable."
Obviously, Zhao Gao's teaching ability was highly recognized by the First Emperor through Hu Hai.
He has no way of knowing what Zhao Gao taught him in the end.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed slightly.
Of course, the reason why they changed their minds was not that the First Emperor chose Zhao Gao as the teacher of the Sixteenth Young Master, but the meaning revealed in the First Emperor's words.
The First Emperor had already intended for Li Si to take over the position of Prime Minister of the Royal Palace.
This is the first time that the First Emperor expressed such a meaning in public.
So what will happen to the Prime Minister’s Palace today?
Meng Tian and others in the palace were all in mixed moods.
Li Si, who was prostrate on the ground, was so excited that he almost couldn't help himself when he heard the First Emperor's words.
At this moment, it is no longer important to him whether he can be the teacher of the Sixteenth Young Master.
Because Li Si knew that he, Li Si, had been in Da Qin for more than ten years, and finally at this moment clearly understood that he was only one step away from the position he had worked so hard for.
