Chapter 2 The Gathering of Sovereign and Officials (Part 1)

Zhao Gao stretched his neck and looked ahead, as if the child who loved stars was looking forward to the sky. A convoy appeared in his eyes. Meng Tian was the first, and Zhou Chong was following behind Meng Tian. Zhao Gao's anxious mood suddenly relaxed, and he quickly met him, pulling his sharp and high-pitched voice: "Li Si received the order!"

Li Si, who was sitting in the king's car, hurriedly lifted the curtain, jumped out of the ground, knelt on the ground to receive the order, and said, "My minister Li Si received the order."

Zhao Gao retelled the oral order of the King of Qin and said, "Li Si, I am waiting for you in the hall. Come to the hall to see me."

This was a very strange decree. Zhou Chong understood that with the cleverness of the Qin King, he would never make useless decree. He would have made some arrangements for this, but this arrangement was too troublesome and could not be guessed at all.

"Thank you, the king!" Li Si thanked him.

Li Si was in front, Meng Tian and Zhou Chong were in back, and under Zhao Gao, he headed straight to the palace.

When he arrived at the court hall, he saw civil and military officials standing in front of each other, looking at the nose and the heart, looking at the respectful attitude. On the other hand, the King of Qin sat high on the throne and looked ahead, as if so many officials did not exist. The entire court hall was silent, quiet, and the needles could be heard.

Li Si, Zhou Chong and Meng Tian entered the hall and politely said, "I have met the king!"

The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

After looking around the ministers, the King of Qin said, "Li Si was proficient in the laws of the Qin Dynasty and was promoted to the court lieutenant."

Li Si had not yet thanked him, and a white-bearded official shouted: "Slow!" and left the list and said: "The King."

This is the elder of the royal family, Ying Ning. The King of Qin looked at him and asked, "What do you have to say?"

Ying Ning bowed and said, "The king, the expelling order said that it was not my descendant of the Qin Dynasty, so he could not be listed in my Qin Dynasty. If the king appointed Li Si as the court, he would ignore my Qin Dynasty's laws and regulations, and please think twice."

"Elder Xie reminds me that I have not told you yet that I have summoned you here today, just to tell you that the order to expel guests will be abolished immediately, and all the expelled guests will be recovered immediately and the official will be restored. In addition, each of them will give fifty taels of gold to show the apology of the Qin Dynasty." The divine light flashed in the tiger's eyes, and he said with great determination.

Ying Ning still did not give up and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, Zheng State has exhausted Qin, which has prevented my army from heading east in the fifth year of the Great Qin Dynasty. The guest officials have no good people. Please expel all the guests from Qin."

The King of Qin smiled coldly and asked, "Ying Ning, as the elder of the Ying clan, you are not discerning the truth and confusing the black and white, and bewitching the king. Do you know your guilt?"

This was very serious, Ying Ning kowtowed and said, "Master, what are the crimes of me?"

"Listen, I'll convince you." The King of Qin looked at Ying Ning and criticized his sins, saying, "Mr. Mu got Baili Xi, Jian Shu, Pi Bao, and was domineering from Yu and Gongsunzhi; Xiao Gong used Shang Yang to make the Great Qin strong; King Huiwen used Zhang Yi to defeat Zong Zong, and boosted the great Qin's reputation among the six countries; King Zhaoxiang used Fan Sui to attack and fight, and killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in Changping, so that my Great Qin can achieve the imperial career. You say, isn't my Great Qin's strength a guest? So what about Marquis Rang? He is full of private interests and wealth can rival the country. Remember what someone said, "Why do you lose the guest to Qin?" It's my Great Qin's defeat to Qin, not my Great Qin."

The expulsion of the guest was caused by the royal family. Just as Lu Buwei was too powerful, the King of Qin wanted to expel these people, but he did not expect that the fire at the city gate affected the fish of the pond, and Li Si was also expelled, so the letter of "Reply to Expulsion of the Guests" was created. The wise ministers in the court disagreed and knelt down and said, "The king is wise!"

"All get up!" The King of Qin then criticized Ying Ning's mistakes and said, "As the elder of the Ying clan, you do not know how to correct my mistakes, but instead encouraged me to expel guests. Once these talents are lost, it will be a great loss for my great Qin and will fall into my imperial career. The ancestor Huiwen missed Su Qin, so that I can have the same thing as the Union. My great Qin still feared me. Have you forgotten? I punished you to think about your mistakes behind closed doors and think about your mistakes. If you do well, you will reward me. If you don't do well, the laws of the Great Qin are ruthless!"

Su Qin had visited Qin and met King Huiwen of Qin and presented his strategy to King Huiwen of Qin. King Huiwen of Qin knew that he was talented, but he had just killed Shang Yang shortly after, and had no good impression of the lobbyists. He didn't need him, so he could have a policy of suffering Qin for decades. Of course, King Huiwen of Qin also regretted it in the end, but it was too late. It was a pity that King Huiwen of Qin was the fault of King Huiwen!

Ying Ning was very active in expelling guests and let him deal with the royal family. It was so good that Zhou Chong shouted in his heart that he was smart.

Cold sweat ejaculated from Ying Ning's forehead, touching the ground with his head, and said, "Thank you, the king."

"What are you grateful for? Think about your mistakes. There must be one or two." The King of Qin scolded him and said, "In addition, I will give Li Si another 100 golden cakes."

Li Si knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I can follow the king and the left and right. My wish is enough. I will never dare to be the king and give such a generous reward. I also ask the king to take it back."

The King of Qin stood up, walked to Li Si, helped him up, and said, "Li Si, you must know that these hundred cakes of gold are used by me to buy your "Letter of Admonition and Exit of Guests". If it weren't for your "Letter of Admonition and Exit of Guests", I would still be in my dream now."

One hundred cakes, gold is calculated as twenty taels, which is two thousand taels of gold. Li Si suddenly became rich. This is all due to one article. It is almost the same as Lu Buwei’s reward for a thousand gold change.

This is a great honor. Li Si was grateful. The tears in his eyes rolled around, but he still couldn't help but cry and said, "Master!"

The King of Qin patted his hand and said, "I heard that you have a beloved girl who has not been married yet, right?"

Although Li Si did not understand why the King of Qin had this question, he answered: "Return to the king, I know a virtuous woman. I also plan to marry her as my wife, but I am entangled in everything and have not been able to do it yet."

The King of Qin nodded and said, "That's good. I will give you another fifty pearls and one hundred silk pieces. Take these things to give you a betrothal gift. You are my loyal minister, minister, and my first guest minister. This marriage must be held lively so that the prestige of my great Qin will not lose the way."

This cannot be taken seriously. The King of Qin used this to appoint Li Si and also used this to prove to the people in the world that he was eager to seek talent. Once this matter spreads, wouldn’t all the elites of those eras come to Qin?

"Beautiful, so beautiful, so big!" Zhou Chong praised the King of Qin in his heart.

Li Si suddenly fell at the feet of the King of Qin, cried like rain, and said, "The king is kind, even if Li Si is broken, he will never repay him."

His performance really makes people feel uncomfortable, but Zhou Chong also understood that if he exchanged Li Si, his performance might not be better than Li Si. Who said that the King of Qin is so powerful?

The King of Qin helped Li Si up and said, "You choose the auspicious day and tell me, I am so bored, come and join in the fun. You won't invite me, right?" After speaking, his tone was very relaxed, as if he was joking.

The King of Qin came in person, which was a great honor. Li Si hurriedly said, "Where can it be? How can it be? Of course, the king's wedding banquet is indispensable."

"That's good, that's good!" The King of Qin laughed loudly, turned around suddenly, walked to the throne, and said, "The order to expel guests will be abolished immediately! You must all remember: I use only talents and only merits are used!"

The ministers all praised: "The king is wise!"

The King of Qin was so bold that Zhou Chong had to convince himself and sincerely praised the wise and wise.

"I am wrong about expelling guests. You have also done so. Our monarch and ministers must reflect carefully." The King of Qin continued, "I will introduce you to a person who dares to tell the truth. You must learn from him. Come on, bring Zheng State!"
