"Using the country's official decree to ask me to become his disciple? Such a person who mixes public and private affairs is not worthy of my loyalty to him." Li Shiqi shook his head and then looked at the magistrate of Yongqiu County.
Li Shiqi and the Yongqiu County Magistrate were friends. Historically, after Li Shiqi took refuge with Liu Bang, he lobbied the Yongqiu County Magistrate for Liu Bang to surrender without a fight, relying on this personal relationship.
"Zhao Si is a close minister of the First Emperor. Although he is only a small minister, I heard that the three princes and nine ministers cannot disobey him. Li Shiqi, Li Shiqi, you are now over sixty years old, are you willing to do so? Why don't you stay here in Yongqiu County and be a drunkard instead of assisting the king and helping the world?" the Yongqiu County magistrate said earnestly.
He also tried to recommend Li Shiqi, but was rejected by Li Shiqi, but he knew that Li Shiqi had great ambitions in his heart.
"The King of Qin is easy to use. I am a Confucian scholar and a madman. How can I support the world?" Li Shiqi laughed loudly and waved his hands.
"Just let me stay here in peace and be a drunkard." Li Shiqi got up from the bed.
"I was originally a civil servant. If I rashly refused to be called up, I'm afraid you would be in trouble because of it. Please allow me to step down from my position as a civil servant and tell them that I am no longer an official of the Qin State. I refused in private. Please stop disturbing me, an old man who likes to drink." Li Shiqi stood up and respectfully saluted the magistrate of Yongqiu County.
"Such a thing is reasonable. He can't send people to arrest me."
The county magistrate sighed deeply when he heard this and could only give up.
He knew what his friend was thinking. He wanted to do great work and save face at the same time.
If others fail to show enough attention to him and instead shout around him, he considers it an insult to him.
Li Shiqi must have the ability. After the Yongqiu County Magistrate and Li Shiqi became friends, Yongqiu County's political performance increased year after year. It was expected that the Yongqiu County Magistrate would be promoted because of this. Because of this, he Only then did I feel sorry for Li Shiqi.
Now there is only one king in the world, and wasting time in official circles is something that must be experienced. Everyone can only serve the Qin State. How can the previous grand occasion be possible?
Only those who are courteous and virtuous and have great ambitions can make Li Shi serve his life!
This person is talented, but old-fashioned and stubborn.
Thinking of this, he could only sigh deeply, cut off the official documents for Li Shiqi, and then bite the bullet and return his orders to the governor of Chenliu County.
Naturally, the governor of Chenliu County was also afraid of Zhao Si, a former minister of the king, but he was not the kind to rush to lick Zhao Si. Although it was a headache to get the reply from the Yongqiu County magistrate, he still replied politely and did not send anyone. Capture Li Shiqi and send him away.
Following the official process, the other party has already refused in a reasonable manner. If he, as a superior, cannot keep his subordinates and instead behaves in a flattering manner, then he will lose the hearts of Chenliu in the future, and his superiors and subordinates will no longer be able to work together.
…
"Refused?"
After Chen Liu's official document came over, Zhao Si was slightly surprised.
Then he looked at the four people in front of him: Zhang Cang, Chen Ping, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang.
When he was rejected, Zhao Si was holding a team building meeting with four of his customers. They were eating hot pot. The wonderful and novel delicacy made the four of them unable to stop.
Needless to say, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang both ate from the ground. They had never tasted such delicious food in their lives, and Chen Ping and Zhang Cang were also in awe.
In this era when there are not many ways to eat, who can resist a butter hot pot?
The four of them were open-minded and exposed their breasts. Zhao Si was also a person with no airs and was approachable in getting along with the guests in private.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang believed that this was Corporal Li Xian, while Zhang Cang and Chen Ping secretly maintained Zhao Si's status during the banquet and strengthened Zhao Si's leadership status.
"Well, he resigned from his official position first, and then refused my recruitment. There is no problem with this process. If he made no mistakes, the county guard and county magistrate have no power to arrest him." Zhao Si smiled.
"How do you think we should respond?" Zhao Si asked his four disciples.
"Caught!"
"Caught!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rushed to answer.
Zhang Cang and Chen Ping looked at each other and smiled: "This is exactly what we want to say."
There is nothing wrong with arresting people directly. Zhao Si has the power anyway.
Since Li Shiqi could be reasonable and resigned from his official position and refused to conquer the country, Zhao Si could naturally order troops and arrest people without being reasonable.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang did it because Zhao Si had no airs and was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Zhang Cang and Chen Ping really think this is an effective method.
After all, the First Emperor's grand tour of the world is still progressing, and the First Emperor's itinerary cannot be delayed because of one person.
The most important thing is that they are not sure what Li Shiqi's talents are. After all, Zhao Si's method of recruiting customers is a bit arbitrary. It is hard to say whether such a person is worthy of Zhao Si's aggressive attack. Corporal Ge Lixian.
The most important thing is that Zhang Cang and Chen Ping were also captured as guests.
If you think about it carefully, even if you, Li Shiqi, are talented, you cannot stand out from the crowd.
Those who have great talent must have great arrogance. Why was it that I was captured and you were invited? Is it because your talents are higher than mine?
Never mind him, catch him first and review it on your own side. Whether it is good or bad, catch him first.
"Really caught? Then I really went!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are in a strong position, and Zhang Cang and Chen Ping are obviously making serious suggestions.
"Hey, I also want to copy Uncle Liu Huang's Three Visits Thatched Cottage..." Zhao Si said to himself while riding on the war horse.
"If I continue to be captured like this, I'm afraid that even if I am willing to pay close attention to Corporal Li Xian in the thatched cottage, I may act unevenly..."
Thinking about it, so many people were captured. If you suddenly go to visit the thatched cottage to invite one, you are also suspected of liking the new and hating the old.
It would be better to act fairly and let everyone leave immediately.
Called together more than a hundred soldiers and applied to the First Emperor for approval of official documents.
So, Zhao Si, who was dressed in golden armor and looked extremely sexy, appeared in Yongqiu County.
Zhao Si didn't want to attract so much attention. He just wanted to catch Li Shiqi. Zhao Si could catch anyone by himself.
However, the First Emperor strictly stipulated that you, Zhao Si, can leave the convoy if you want, but the accompanying soldiers must be no less than 100, and you are not allowed to take off your armor before returning to the convoy.
One of Zhao Si's greatest strengths is that he is obedient...
He is acting like a slut under orders!
A shining golden statue led people to surround Li Shiqi's simple house.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Li Shiqi at home?"
The soldiers under Zhao Si knocked on the door.
"Who?"
Li Shiqi rubbed his drunken eyes and didn't bother to straighten his manners. He got up from the bed and even just kicked off his shoes to open the door.
Opening the door, hundreds of cavalry soldiers surrounded his thatched house with skill and skill, led by a general in golden armor.
Li Shiqi rubbed his eyes, thinking he hadn't woken up, but suddenly another thought flashed through his mind.
"Zhao Si won't really come to catch me, right?"
Li Shi's drinking power was gone.
"Are you just Li Shiqi?"
The leader, General Jin Jia, asked. Li Shiqi stood up straight, took two steps back and frowned.
"I am Li Shiqi!"
Li Shiqi's current image is not very good. He is over 60 years old, he likes to drink, he has no image management, his nose is red and red, and his clothes are shabby and shabby.
"You rejected my offer?" Zhao Si got off his horse and looked at Li Shiqi curiously.
It makes no sense. Li Shiqi is just a small servant, how could he refuse his conquest?
"What? Are you going to send sergeants to capture me because I disobey your wishes?" Li Sheqi asked back without fear.
"I'm just curious about why you rejected my offer. Is it because I don't value you enough?" Zhao Si shook his head and asked seriously.
"You sent an official document to County Sheriff Chenliu, and County Magistrate Chenliu sent an official document to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate used an official document to persuade me. But in the end, what you have to complete is your private matter. Let me become your retainer. No matter how much you value me, I won't become your guest because of this." Li Shiqi's face was indifferent.
"I see, I have learned a lesson!" Zhao Si nodded.
"Are you worried that if I am close to the king and do not distinguish between public and private matters, if this continues, I will develop a sycophantic heart?" Zhao Si is not a fool. This is indeed his own negligence.
He was used to it, but Li Shiqi's statement made sense. His relationship with the First Emperor was a personal relationship and should not be used in official matters.
Xiao He is also a Qin official. It seems that this method cannot be used to conquer Xiao He later. It is more practical to arrest people directly.
"I'm not worried about you, I just don't want to work for such a person."
Seeing that Zhao Si unexpectedly asked him for advice sincerely, and did not care about his rude words, and could seriously reflect on his mistakes, Li Shiqi's evaluation of Zhao Si increased a lot, and his heart began to soften.
What he couldn't accept was that Zhao Si used his status to call him around with just a piece of official documents. But if Zhao Si was willing to treat Xian as a corporal, how could he, an old man in his sixties who was still in the job, not have the ambition to make progress?
He decided that when Zhao Si invited him again, he would just decline once...
"This was originally my fault, and I shouldn't have made things difficult for you. Now that I realize my mistake, I am asking you in a private capacity. Are you willing to accept my support and become my disciple?" Zhao Si said politely.
"I am already over sixty years old, and my ambition is not in the court..." Li Shiqi waved his hand.
Very good, Zhao Si has realized his mistake, then people will not make the same mistake twice, and there is no need to worry about Zhao Si forcibly using his rights to capture him.
"Why……"
"Why did the general sigh?" Li Shiqi asked as the script did not go as planned.
Zhao Si waved his hand...
All the soldiers rushed forward!
"Pay attention! Don't be rude!"
The soldiers almost lifted Li Shiqi onto the car.
"I sigh because I really don't want my disciples to gather together in the future and everyone will get together to discuss how to become colleagues. In the end, I will catch them all."
Unfortunately, there is no other way. He not only has to consider Li Shiqi's opinion, but also cares about the feelings of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Cang and Chen Ping...
It’s not that Zhao Si didn’t want to play the drama of courtesy and virtuous corporal, the relationship between king and minister, and it’s not that Zhao Si didn’t want to copy the drama of visiting the thatched cottage three times and falling asleep to welcome each other.
He's really not afraid of this trouble, and ready-made scripts are everywhere in history.
But obviously, due to various factors, Zhao Si is now on the road to becoming a bully lord.
