Li Xin and Li Shui were planning very hard, and the two of them even discussed the next national policy.
Li Xin kept shouting that he wanted to destroy the Xiongnu and pacify the Donghu. Li Shui was not ashamed to say that he wanted the people to have enough food and clothing and not close their homes at night.
One of the two people was talking about military affairs, and the other was talking about civil affairs. It's obvious that the chicken is talking to the duck, but it's very lively.
The courtiers stared at each other. After a long time, someone laughed and said, "This must be a joke."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Yes, it must be a joke. These two people clearly lost face and deliberately exaggerated, saying some heroic words to boost their own momentum. Li Shui may not really want to participate in the court meeting. Li Xin may not really want to recommend him."
At this time, Wu Jiao came with a carriage and shouted in the heavy rain: "Master Huai, the steamed buns have been delivered. Hurry up and get on the carriage and go."
Li Shui waved his hand and said, "No need. In a few moments, His Majesty will grant me an official position. I will wait."
Wu Jiao said oh and drove away in the carriage.
The courtiers were silent for a while. Is this coming for real?
No, no, Huaiguzi must be holding on. Now that everyone is here, he is embarrassed to leave. When we entered the main hall, he would definitely sneak away quietly when he saw no one was around. This must be the case.
At this time, the door of the political hall opened, and a young eunuch came out and said, "Ministers, please come inside to discuss political affairs."
Everyone filed in.
After the salute, before anyone could speak, Li Xin jumped out first.
Everyone was shocked and muttered silently: "No way? Is he really going to do such a ridiculous thing?"
But Li Xin just did it. He saluted and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to recommend someone to be an official and participate in the affairs of the government. If your Majesty gets this person, you can make the Qin Dynasty permanent and the people have enough food and clothing."
Ying Zheng asked with great interest: "Who is it?"
Li Xin said: "It's the Huaiguzi who met the immortal in his dream."
Ying Zheng's smile froze on his face.
When I heard what Li Xin said was so lively, I thought it was Jiang Ziya from the current generation. It turns out...it turns out to be Huaiguzi.
Huai Guzi can make elixirs and make some things from the fairy world. Ying Zheng believes in it, but he may not be able to participate in government affairs, right?
However, Ying Zheng did not flatly refuse. Instead, as usual, he asked the courtiers: "What do you think?"
The courtiers said in unison: "I think it is absolutely impossible."
They spoke in unison, in unison, as if they were rehearsed.
Li Xin became furious and asked, "Why not?"
Chunyu Yue said calmly: "How can Huaiguzi be so virtuous that he can participate in government affairs? You can't recommend someone and your majesty will agree with that person. Li Xin, stop fooling around and step down."
Li Xin, however, refused to back down and argued: "Brother Huai possesses miraculous skills. He can make steamed buns, noodles, biscuits, and brew fairy wine..."
"Haha." Wang Li laughed out loud: "Old General Li, are you recommending courtiers or cooks?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chunyu Yue sighed and said helplessly: "The so-called court meeting is to discuss the government affairs. Does Huaiguzi know about punishments or taxes? Li Xin, you must be measured in your actions."
Li Xin said somewhat unconvinced: "Brother Huai was the first to suggest your Majesty's honorific title. Brother Huai subdued the Huns Sha Ti Lie. I thought that Brother Huai was indeed a great talent. The name of taxation and punishment was just a piece of cake. Officials can become proficient after only three to five months of training. To plan for the country and the world, one must have extraordinary talents."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Li Xin's words are reasonable."
After hearing this, Li Xin was extremely happy and shouted: "Your Majesty, Huaiguzi is waiting outside the palace."
Ying Zheng was a little helpless: "Still waiting outside? Are these two people so sure?"
He said calmly: "That's all, call Huai Guzi in."
A young eunuch went out and called out, and Li Shui came in with his head held high.
Ying Zheng stared at Li Shui for a while, considered it carefully, and then said: "Huai Guzi, Li Xin recommends you to join the court as an official. In view of your repeated achievements, I have made an exception for the probation. If you do well, , you can officially enter the court as an official. If you don't do well, you will be expelled from the political hall. You should go back to the alchemy room to refine elixirs. What do you think?"
Li Shui agreed wholeheartedly.
In fact, Ying Zheng agreed to give it a try today not only because of Li Xin's recommendation, but also because of Fu Yao.
Ying Zheng had already heard about Fu Yao's appointment as his disciple.
Fu Yao was Ying Zheng's favorite son. Originally, Ying Zheng wanted to select a famous teacher for him and train him well. Unexpectedly, he actually became a disciple of Huaiguzi himself.
At first, Ying Zheng thought that Fu Yao was just a teenager and could just play with him for a few days and forget about it.
Who would have thought that in recent days, Ying Zheng tentatively asked Fu Yao a few questions and found that Fu Yao was full of praise for Huai Gu Zi every time. It seemed that he was determined to be his apprentice.
The master of a royal prince is more than just a teacher of reading and writing. Life character, statecraft, etc. must be taught.
Ying Zheng was a little doubtful whether Huai Guzi could do the job. In fact, it was not doubt, he felt that Huai Guzi was definitely not qualified.
If he issued an edict and ordered Huaiguzi to terminate the master-disciple relationship with Fu Yao, he would probably hurt Fu Yao's heart.
Therefore, it is better to follow the current and agree to Li Xin's proposal to let Huaiguzi enter the court as an official.
It's just that he didn't officially enter the court, but had a probation period. During this probation period, Huaiguzi is an alchemist who is not familiar with political affairs, so he is bound to make mistakes frequently.
At that time, Ying Zheng had the opportunity to tell Fu Yao that although Huai Guzi had some skills in alchemy, he was not talented enough to be a master.
By then, Fu Yao should no longer persist, right?
The more Ying Zheng thought about it, the more beautiful he became. Then he smiled and said to Li Shui, "I, what official position would be best for you?"
Li Shui didn't know that Ying Zheng just said it casually, so he immediately bowed and said: "I don't have a father who is a high-ranking official, so I won't get any favor. Therefore, I don't dare to think about a young general like Wang Li."
Wang Li's face turned green.
Li Shui added: "I am not good at charging and fighting, and I don't dare to think about a general with military merit like Li Xin."
"After much thought, only Dr. Chun and other great scholars are at a similar level to Chen. They are considered the same kind of people. Chen... asked himself to be a doctor."
Chunyu Yue's face turned pale with anger, and he cursed in his heart: "What do you mean? We are on the same level as you? Are we considered the same kind of people? You don't even know the words, so you have the nerve to say you are on the same level as me? You are so shameless, why are you the same as me? A kind of person?"
Ying Zheng was very satisfied, nodded and said, "Okay, then Huai Guzi will temporarily take over the post of doctor."
Hello, Doctor, a learned man, it sounds nice, but he is actually the emperor’s advisor. Just answer questions anytime. Will not be responsible for specific matters.
I really want Lishui to be in charge of taxation or punishment. Ying Zheng is really a little worried.
