"It's the second son Li Zhan."
Li Si was secretly happy.
Your Majesty has noticed his second son!
Li Si's eldest son Li You was very outstanding. He served as the governor of Sanchuan County at a young age and even married a princess. But the second son is very mediocre, and it is difficult to get even an official position. At this moment, His Majesty is paying attention to him, and maybe he will be favored.
After saying that, he glared at Li Zhao angrily with a vicious look in his eyes, then smiled and said to Li Zhan, "I haven't kowtowed to your majesty yet."
"Li Zhan knocks...kowts to Your Majesty."
Li Zhan quickly stepped forward to kowtow, but when he saw Ying Zheng's majestic eyes, his legs shook and he couldn't even speak.
Li Zhao secretly cursed, "What are you staring at? You are the same as a poisonous woman. Aren't you just telling me to stay away so that you don't steal your son's limelight? Stay away. If you don't want to admire the elegance of an emperor through the ages, I won't care." So close.”
"I don't care what your son is. He is usually so domineering, even to the maids, but why did he pee when he saw Qin Shihuang? He is a coward. I don't care about such a person stealing his limelight."
Um!
After listening to Li Zhao's thoughts, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Zhan sideways, with disappointment on his face. He turned out to be such a person.
So, he just nodded and ignored it.
This was just a very casual action, but it made Li Si's heart sink. Your Majesty's expression shows that you don't like his second son. You shouldn't! The second son performed very well.
This is how his eldest son was chosen.
"Your Majesty, my son Li Zhan is excellent at calligraphy and poetry. Can he also compose poetry?"
Li Si said to Ying Zheng without showing his face, trying to fight for another chance for Li Zhan, and then immediately ordered Li Zhan: "Why don't you compose a song on the spot for your majesty to hear."
Li Zhan realized later and said quickly: "Thinking about it is like the day when you come to the king, and your heart is like crossing the bridge."
Ying Zheng's eyebrows widened when he heard this, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He couldn't help but close his eyes and reflect, and said for a long time, "Not bad! Very good. Is this really a poem written by you?"
Although the poem is short, it is not a poem of the current dynasty, but Ying Zheng read the meaning in it. When you meet the king, you must think about it with your heart, and when you meet the bridge, you must be careful. Doesn't this mean that when you meet the king, you must be respectful?
He likes this poem.
If it was really Li Zhan's work, he wouldn't mind giving him an official position.
Li Si was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought that His Majesty's reaction was the same as when he met his eldest son. This time it was stable, it must be stable, maybe the second son would be made a county guard by His Majesty like the eldest son.
"Exactly...exactly." Li Zhan replied quickly, feeling extremely happy inside. He never imagined that the poem he plagiarized to please his father could be so practical.
"Yeah!" Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he should be given a reward, so he said, "Li Xiang! A tiger father has no dog son! Such a poetic talent must be excellent in other aspects, so I will give him a reward... ..."
Suddenly, I heard that voice again.
"Shameless, it's not his fault. I obviously sang it when I was bored. He plagiarized it."
Um!
Ying Zheng's words stopped abruptly and his face darkened. I took a special look at Li Zhao and saw that he looked indignant, and I understood in my heart.
It turns out that such a good poem was not written by Li Zhan. How dare Li Zhan deceive the emperor?
However, Ying Zheng has no intention of punishing him, but he will not be appointed to another official position.
He waved his hands in disgust, "Okay, let him go down!"
What! Li Si was stagnant and unable to react for a moment. Something's wrong, wasn't His Majesty about to seal it just now? How could you let Er'er go down?
He finally got this opportunity, isn't this going to be a shame?
"Your Majesty, this, this, my son..." Li Si was anxious and wanted to fight for it, but Ying Zheng stopped him, "Okay, don't say any more."
With these words, he forcefully pushed back what Li Si was about to say, leaving him confused as to why His Majesty's attitude had changed like this.
hehe! Of course, I'm afraid Li Si wouldn't be able to figure it out even if he thought about it for the rest of his life.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si with disgust, pointed at Li Zhao behind Li Zhan, and asked, "Is the guy from behind your nephew?"
For a moment, Li Zhao paused.
"Damn it, Qin Shihuang noticed me. Did he hear that I am a great talent? It is true that I am great, but I am not the son of an old beast! Why did he notice me?"
He was a little surprised and thought about it in his mind.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he smiled slightly and said to himself: What a good boy, I don't show off my great talent. Fortunately, I have a unique vision. In addition to writing and poetry, the great talent you mentioned must also have the ability to predict the future!
Not bad, very good.
You, I'm sure.
"It is the old minister's nephew, his name is Li Zhao, but his talent is not enough, which made His Majesty laugh." Li Si shook his head with feigned hatred.
He was a little bit resentful. Why did he let this kid come out to meet the driver? Doesn't this steal the spotlight from his son? But he soon didn't take it to heart.
Li Zhao's performance is mediocre, and his talent is not half as good as his son's. His Majesty doesn't even like his son, so how could he like him?
"Oh, is it so?"
To Li Si's surprise, Ying Zheng showed strong curiosity, "He's the son of that wealthy businessman, right? If I can create such a foundation, I think my son will be no different."
What! What's the meaning?
Li Si's expression changed.
Your Majesty, are you praising Li Zhao? This is the rhythm I like, damn, how could it be? My son is not chosen, how can he be chosen?
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed merchants, and Li Nian was a wealthy merchant. As an emperor, he should not be interested in the son of a wealthy merchant!
"Come on, come on, let me see you. Your father has donated a lot of money to our court!" Ying Zheng ignored Li Si and changed his seriousness before saying with a smile, his eyes were unusually soft.
How? Li Si was startled again and extremely puzzled. His Majesty's eyes were very soft. What kind of magic power did Li Zhao have that attracted His Majesty?
The more Li Si thought about it, the more something was wrong. According to performance, Li Zhao's performance today was very average, without any advantages.
But why does His Majesty have such an expression?
"Me?" Li Zhao couldn't believe it, pointed at himself, and said to himself: "No way! The emperor of all ages actually asked me to come over. Isn't this a dream?"
This kid!
Ying Zheng smiled and really wanted to say: You are not dreaming, your talent caught my attention.
"Your Majesty, I have the guts to ask for this boy's life. Since his father's death, I have pampered him so much that he is not very good at talking. I'm afraid it will disturb Your Majesty's interest in selecting talents."
Li Si really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want Li Zhao to be picked on, so he quickly stepped forward to ridicule him.
"Old beast, old beast..." After hearing this, Li Zhao cursed Li Si thousands of times in his heart.
Dote on him? Nonsense, when has he ever pampered himself? Seizing his family's property, driving away his mother, and treating him like a dog, is this considered pampering?
oh!
Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, secretly thinking how much the boy hated Li Si, he must have been abused at home!
"Really? I don't necessarily think he is favored. On the contrary, he has a lot of resentment." Ying Zheng said unhurriedly, with sharp eyes.
this......
Li Si hesitated and asked secretly: How did His Majesty know? He often abused Li Zhao, but he never made it public! He was sure that the court officials did not know, and His Majesty should not know, but...
Li Si was confused. He didn't know how to answer the question, and he didn't dare to look at Ying Zheng.
"Come here, it's you." Ying Zheng left Li Si and waved to Li Zhao.
Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, but he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he stepped forward without appearing panicked at all.
"Li Zhao pays homage to Your Majesty!" He knelt down like Li Zhan.
"No need to be polite!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, very satisfied with Li Zhao's performance.
If you are not timid when meeting you, you are a man who can be built.
Of course, as a man of two generations, Li Zhao still has this courage.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng became serious and said loudly: "Li Zhao listens to the title. Seeing your talents, I will make you the eldest son's book boy! Accompany the eldest son to study."
What! what's the situation?
Li Si felt panicked when he heard this.
His Majesty has really taken a fancy to this man. He is still a book boy. Although he is just a book boy and has no title or official position, he is still the person next to the eldest son!
The eldest son has been specially trained by His Majesty. If nothing goes wrong, he will be equivalent to the prince. The future emperor and the scholar will be like Xiangmomo.
How can it be? How could it be him who was banned? Wasn't it his son?
Li Si gave Li Zhao a hard look in his heart.
Also, how talented is this animal? Why can't you see that he's not even half as good as his second son? Moreover, this person has never shown any talent in front of His Majesty, so why was he banned?
Li Si went crazy.
Li Zhao was stunned. He felt very surprised. He was blocked like this? How did Qin Shihuang know that he was a great talent? Did he know him before? It shouldn’t be! He had never met Qin Shihuang.
Just when I was about to ask a question, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
"Given what you accomplished, you triggered the system."
