Han Fei is a young master from South Korea. It is precisely because of this status that except for the years when he studied under Xunzi, he has almost never left South Korea, let alone met kings from other countries.
In his belief, he should do his best to make Korea strong and its people prosperous.
Even if the King of Han refuses to give him enough power and support, even if South Korea does not have enough foundation and strength.
He also never thought about going to another country to develop his abilities.
Looking at Han Fei who was stunned, Li Si said softly: "With all due respect, Han Fei, you are indeed very talented, but your vision is not broad and your goals are not clear."
Han Fei came back to his senses and asked slowly: "Brother, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple." Li Si said, "For example, there are two things you need to complete now. One is beneficial to South Korea but harmful to other countries, and the other is of great benefit to the people of the world. , but South Korea can’t take advantage of it. So, which one will you choose to do?”
It was a very simple question, but Han Fei was stunned.
After another long while, Han Fei came back to his senses, smiled at Li Si, and said, "The question asked by senior brother is a bit profound. I will give you an answer after I think it through. I am very happy to see senior brother today. I have specially ordered A banquet has been held, let’s not talk about political affairs, we just want to meet again, please, senior brother!”
"Yes, please!"
The two of them got together and exchanged cups.
When Xunzi was a student, the two were not close friends with similar interests, but they were classmates who had been studying together for several years. Now that they have not seen each other for more than ten years, they naturally have a lot to say.
Of course, during those years with Xunzi, Li Si didn't really want to learn anything. More, he paid attention to everyone's ambitions and performance.
In Li Si's eyes, Han Fei did have strengths, but his weaknesses were also obvious.
However, during the conversation at the banquet, Li Si found that Han Fei's arrogance had softened a lot, his personality was not as stubborn and cold as before, his speech was not as straightforward as before, and he had learned to use some twists and turns.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that the stuttering problem has not been cured yet.
However, it seems that it is difficult to cure this problem.
During the dinner, Li Si toasted Han Fei with a glass of wine, and then said, "I heard that my junior brother has devoted himself to learning in the past few years and compiled many books."
"Haha, that's right." Han Fei said with a smile, "To be honest, the King of Han actually doesn't let me participate in the political affairs of Korea. It's just that these few times when it comes to the Xiu... canal of Da Qin, the King of Han only Let me come to the temple, so I spend most of my time at home concentrating on writing."
"If that's the case, then I have to read it." Li Si said.
"You shouldn't take it seriously for reading, it should be for advice." Han Fei spoke slowly and stood up, "Senior brother, wait a minute, I will get two volumes, you have a look."
"Okay." Li Si responded.
Not long after, Han Fei returned to the wine table holding two volumes of classics.
"This one, called "Lonely Anger", is my devoted work." Han Fei pushed the book in his left hand to Li Si, "Please take a look, senior brother."
Li Si took "Lonely Anger" and started reading it.
After reading it for less than a quarter of an hour, Li Si could not help but exclaim: "What a book!"
"Senior brother, do you really think it's good?" Han Fei asked.
"Of course it's good." Li Si said with a smile, "Have you copied it? Why don't you give me this volume?"
"Haha, of course I copied it." Han Fei also smiled and said, "Look at this volume again."
Li Si took another scroll and saw "" written on it.
"Expand", Li Si continued to read.
After reading a few paragraphs, Li Si couldn't help but see
One light.
The content of this book should be very helpful to Sima Jie in compiling history books.
"Well, this one is not bad." Li Si closed the book, patted it with his hand, and said, "Just give these two to me. I'll read them carefully on the way back."
A bachelor is the happiest when he studies
That is, someone can appreciate your work.
This is especially true for people with Han Fei's personality.
"Haha, if senior brother likes it, it will be no problem even if the mansion is evacuated." Han Fei said.
The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.
Time passed little by little, and Han Fei did not mention political affairs again. I wonder if it was because he didn't want to think too much about it.
Li Si did not take the initiative to ask, but simply accompanied Han Fei to discuss knowledge.
The two chatted until very late before falling asleep.
The next morning, Han Fei accompanied Li Si to the palace.
After getting into the car and driving together, Han Fei said: "Today, the king will discuss with you the flying crossbow. And the result of their discussion yesterday was that they want the equipment you mentioned to make the flying crossbow."
Li Si was slightly startled and said, "You want that equipment?"
Han Fei nodded slightly.
"Haha." Li Si smiled and said, "Yesterday I said that it was very slow to make the flying crossbow. It seems that King Han couldn't wait and wanted to get the equipment to make it himself."
"That's it." Han Fei said, "With this equipment, South Korea will be able to continuously make such flying crossbows."
"Hmph! This King Han's appetite is quite big." Li Si said coldly.
"I feel that King Qin will definitely not agree." Han Fei said slowly, "So when I was drinking yesterday, I hesitated several times and didn't speak."
It turns out that this is the reason why Han Fei doesn't mention political affairs.
Li Si smiled and said, "The King of Qin may not agree, but the King of Han must have enough leverage."
"Chips?" Han Fei asked, "What chips?"
"Haha, you'll know when the time comes." Li Si glanced at Han Fei pretending to be mysterious.
Li Si didn't want to say anything, and Han Fei didn't want to ask more questions, but he never expected that the bargaining chip Li Si was talking about turned out to be himself.
The two people came to the palace and saw King Han already sitting on the king's chair, looking at them leisurely.
"Li Si, are you used to living in Xinzheng these days?" King Han said first.
"It's okay." Li Si replied.
"Haha." King Han said with a smile, "If you think Xinzheng is good, then stay here longer, and I will treat you with good wine and good food."
Li Si heard something in King Han's words, so he said, "How dare Li Si disturb you too much? I wonder how the discussion between King Han and the temple went?"
"No hurry, no rush." King Han said, "I still have gifts to give to Li Tingwei."
After saying that, King Han waved his hand.
I saw several beauties in gorgeous clothes walking in from outside the palace door one after another, and stood beside Li Si.
"I heard that Li Tingwei has not married yet, so I am very anxious." King Han pointed at these beauties and said, "These beauties are all beauties from the royal family or the family. Tingwei chose those who liked them. Take her as your wife and concubine."
The attitude of King Han is really different from yesterday.
In order to win over Li Si, even the beauty trap was used.
"King Han, Li Si has no plans to marry yet, let alone this time..."
Before Li Si could finish speaking, he was interrupted by King Han: "Hey, the so-called starting a family and starting a family naturally comes before starting a career. If you don't give me this face, then our negotiation will not be able to continue. Already."
King Han’s performance was unquestionable, and Li
Si had no choice but to agree temporarily, and casually pointed to the second one on the left among the beauties.
"Haha, good!" King Han said happily, "In this case, Sir Tingwei and I, Han, can be considered to be related. Since we are related, everything can be easily discussed."
Li Si: "..."
"Zhang Xiangguo." King Han looked at Zhang Ping and said, "Tell Li Tingwei what you proposed yesterday."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Ping responded with cupped hands.
A good King of Han would do the things that please others by himself, and leave the things that offend others to his ministers.
Zhang Ping came to Li Si, bowed his hands, looked straight, and said calmly: "Li Tingwei, after discussions with the Han Temple, we all agreed that the number of flying crossbows that Han initially requested from Qin will not be reduced. , and it must be delivered to Xinzheng within three months.”
Hearing this, Li Si was neither angry nor angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "Li Si came here this time originally to facilitate this matter for the two countries, but now it seems that it was unnecessary. If Li Si didn't Come on, the King of Qin must have delayed mentioning this matter for a year and a half, and I’m afraid the King of Han will not do anything to Qin.”
"It's true that nothing can be done." Zhang Ping said, "But if Da Qin goes back on its word, I'm afraid it will be discredited, and it will be difficult to maintain the commercial relations that other countries have just established with Da Qin."
It turns out that I am waiting here. With South Korea's superior location, it is really easy to spread some rumors.
"Haha." Li Si smiled instead of being angry, "It seems that your country has not figured out one thing. The speed at which the equipment can make flying crossbows is limited. It's not that Da Qin doesn't want to satisfy South Korea, it's just that it can't do anything."
Zhang Pingping smiled, moved a little closer to Li Si, and said, "In that case, I, the Han Dynasty, will not embarrass Tingwei. I will ask Tingwei to tell the King of Qin if the equipment for making flying crossbows can be sent directly to the Han Dynasty. ?」
This is really the trick.
Although Li Si had already learned about this from Han Fei, he still pretended to be surprised and said: "Equipment? Do you want equipment?"
King Han said from the side: "Yes, with the equipment, the flying crossbows can be manufactured continuously by our country, even if it is slower, it doesn't matter."
Li Si said in a deep voice: "This matter is too important. Foreign ministers cannot make the decision. I will not make a decision until I return to Xianyang and report to the King of Qin."
"Okay!" King Han said, "If King Qin is sincere, then not only the matter of building the canal will be over, but the business of Qin's trade will also be extremely smooth."
"Haha, I believe that if Han Fei can go to Da Qin and personally assist Zheng Guo in building the canal, then it will not be difficult for me to facilitate this matter." Li Si said with a smile.
King Han looked at Han Fei and said, "If King Qin is sincere, it will not be difficult for Han Fei to help build the canal."
Li Si was a little embarrassed on the surface, but secretly happy in his heart.
It is not difficult to make flying crossbow equipment. It can be said that Da Qin can make as many as he wants.
However, South Korea thought that Ying Zheng only discovered this set of equipment at that time. If he wanted to come over, not only could he make flying crossbows, but he could also cut off the way for Qin to make flying crossbows.
In this situation, it can be said that South Korea has taken advantage of everything.
Li Si thought for a moment, then held up his hands and said, "In that case, I will return immediately and inform King Qin of the whole matter. After discussing it in the Great Qin Temple, I will give King Han an answer as soon as possible."
"No." King Han waved his hand decisively and said, "Sir, you can just write a letter yourself, and until you receive a reply, you can enjoy the beauties of Korea with peace of mind."
Li Si: "..."
During this mission to South Korea, Li Si himself became a hostage!
However, a strange light flashed in Li Si's eyes.
