Returning to Li Mansion, Li Zhao was immediately called to the study by Li Si, and the poisonous woman was also among them.
"Zhao, what did His Majesty tell you today?" Li Si asked.
Li Zhao thought for a while and didn't hide it, "Your Majesty asked me about farming."
"how do you say?"
"I said I was still young and didn't understand anything."
"That's right." Li Si stroked his short beard with satisfaction, and warned him again and again, "Remember, your talents are very average. You can't answer anything His Majesty asks. Otherwise, if you make His Majesty unhappy, your head will fall on the ground." It’s a matter of minutes.”
Li Zhao laughed in his heart: You said it so nicely, your Majesty is angry today, why don't you see my head fall to the ground? You are afraid that I will compare with Li Zhan!
"Uncle taught me a lesson." However, Li Zhao still said sincerely.
"Boys can be taught!" Li Si smiled.
"Did you mention Zhan'er?" The poisonous woman next to her was not interested in the topic between the two of them. She quickly pulled Li Zhao aside and asked eagerly.
"Yes, I followed your instructions and said that Brother Zhan is twice as talented as me and that he understands farming."
"Really?" The poisonous woman was also very satisfied and smiled, "Of course, my Zhan'er knows everything, including farming? Not to mention, he has even planted a sapling!"
"Then has His Majesty granted you the title of Zhan'erguan?"
Li Zhao answered truthfully, "Your Majesty did not answer."
Of course Qin Shihuang would not answer. When he heard the word Zhan Ge, his expression immediately changed. He must have been disgusted! It's definitely impossible to get an official title.
This poisonous woman takes it too seriously.
"No answer? That means there is no official appointment!" Upon hearing this, the poisonous woman's face turned ugly and even became vicious. She scolded her without any warning: "Li Zhao, how dare you lie."
"You definitely didn't mention Zhan'er in front of His Majesty. Otherwise, given Zhan'er's talent in farming, why wouldn't His Majesty make him an official? At least he should be made a miser. No, the official position of a miser is too small, at least he should be a young man!"
"You are an ungrateful and ungrateful person. You have gained wealth and honor, but you have thrown Brother Zhan aside. You have to understand that it was my Li family who trained you over the years and allowed you to be appreciated by His Majesty. It would be better for you. Completely If you don’t take your brother Zhan seriously, you must have done it on purpose!”
"I really spent my life raising you in vain."
Holy shit!
Li Zhao cursed secretly, feeling speechless.
The Li family trains me? When did this happen? And let me be appreciated? Your Majesty appreciates my close relationship with your Li family?
And that Li Zhao is so talented in farming? Nonsense, he doesn’t even know what plowing is!
Although I said good things for Brother Zhan, His Majesty ignored me! What can I do? Of course, even if I could, I wouldn't really recommend him. Your family is all poisonous, do you take me seriously?
"Why, you don't dare to speak anymore? Are you aggrieved? You are just a white-eyed wolf." Seeing Li Zhao not speaking, the poisonous woman's whole round body trembled with anger.
"Get out of here right away if you eat something that is inside and outside. The Li family does not raise traitors."
"Go away, why don't I just stay in your house?" Li Zhao really couldn't bear the words of this vicious woman.
In the past, I endured their viciousness because I had no one to rely on, but now that I have received His Majesty's appreciation and been granted an official title, do I still need them?
There is no need for this. From today on, he is a lord, and a lord cannot be without dignity.
So, he turned around and left.
"You, how dare you talk back, rebel, rebel." The vicious woman roared like a tiger, and she was so angry that she immediately ordered her servants, "Break his legs."
"Hey, you've only entered the palace once and you treat yourself like a nobody, no way!"
The servant came over, looking majestic and ready to attack Li Zhao.
"stop!"
Li Si quickly stopped the servant and scolded him sullenly, "What a woman does, what a woman does! Don't cause trouble for me."
The poisonous woman was puzzled and still couldn't stop cursing, "Master, why are you stopping me? Such a rebellious person should be severely punished."
"Teach him a lesson?" Li Si glared at the vicious woman, "I would like to teach him a lesson, but he is someone favored by His Majesty. To teach him a lesson is to teach His Majesty a lesson. Do you dare to teach His Majesty a lesson? You are extremely stupid."
The more Li Si spoke, the softer his voice became.
When the poisonous woman heard this, she was scared, "But we can't let him be so arrogant."
"Arrogant? Hehe! Don't forget that I am the prime minister. It's not easy to kill a son of the dead."
"Hey! You have a conscience."
Then, Li Si frowned and muttered to himself: "It's really strange that Your Majesty asked him about farming."
Indeed, although the Qin Dynasty emphasized agriculture, His Majesty rarely talked about farming in court, but today he mentioned it and asked Li Zhao, which is very puzzling!
This message is critical.
"What's so strange about this? Isn't it obvious? His Majesty must have known that I Zhan'er was good at farming, so he hinted to that bastard in a brazen manner. The meaning was obvious. His Majesty just took a fancy to Zhan'er and wanted to seal him. My son’s official position.”
"Professorship?" Li Si still couldn't figure it out.
"Definitely." The poisonous woman patted her chest, "I'm afraid His Majesty's edict is on the way."
The more the poisonous woman thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she became happy for a moment.
"What kind of official does it have to be? It must be Shaonei. Only Shaonei fits Zhan'er's identity."
While he was talking, a servant suddenly came to report, excitedly.
"Master, madam, what a happy event! Someone is coming from the palace."
happy event? The poisonous woman's thick upper eyelids opened, her brows dancing with joy, "I'm just telling you! The edict must have come, and I, Zhan'er, will be appointed as an official!"
So, she ran out happily.
Li Si looked confused, secretly wondering if it was a decree? He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. However, the edict came and he had to go out and listen to it.
At this moment, in the lobby of Li's Mansion, the waiter was already standing with a bamboo scroll in his hands and his eyes were happy. When he saw Li Si, he immediately nodded and bowed, extremely eager.
"Prime Minister Li, congratulations! The talents in the Li family are indeed extraordinary. They are all talents!"
really! The poisonous woman was so happy that she couldn't help but speak out, even forgetting the etiquette, "Of course, everyone in my family is talented..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Si glared back.
Li Si quickly clasped his fists and apologized, "I don't know the etiquette, please forgive me!"
The waiter smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's okay. Mr. Li has taught you well. There are outstanding individuals in the house. First came the governor of Sanchuan County, and then the young lady. It's not easy!"
"Young lady? It's really young lady, haha!" The poisonous woman forgot her etiquette again and laughed alone.
"Haha!" The waiter didn't mean to be unhappy, but instead echoed, "Not just a young man, he was also made a first-class public servant, given a thousand acres of land, and was rewarded with five yi coins!"
"What?" Li Si, who had always been dignified, was also stunned. His son was knighted and given a thousand acres of land. Why does it feel so unreal? He has no merit!
The title was originally designed for military merit, but after the unification of the six kingdoms, there were very few wars, so the title was no longer rewarded, and later evolved into a reward for those who had meritorious service.
The poisonous woman didn't think so much. She was happy at first, and then frowned, obviously dissatisfied, "What, with my talents, I am only a first-class civil servant? I have a thousand acres of land?"
"No, at least he must be a fifth-level doctor! He must also have ten thousand acres of land, otherwise it will be an insult to him."
The more I say it, the more natural it becomes.
When the waiter heard this, he was confused and secretly thought that this woman really didn't know what to say. Could she question His Majesty's reward?
But he soon stopped paying attention, and a high-pitched voice came out:
"Please ask Li Mansion Li Zhao to take over the order."
