Li Xing's heart tightened. The person in front of him was the first emperor in history, Qin Shihuang. He had to keep his spirits up and not make a fool of himself.
"I wish Your Majesty a long life."
Li Xing held the cup of wine, looked at Ying Zheng, and then downed it in one gulp.
"Yes…"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, gesturing for Li Xing to sit down, and then walked to the next person.
He had finally sat down…Damn, wasn't Great Qin's wine a little too turbid? Moreover, the alcohol content was too low. It was not delicious! Later on, he had to think of a way to brew some good wine!
Li Xing shook his head and heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.
Huh?
He turned his head and saw something.
A face was staring at him from a close distance.
Qin Shihuang?
Li Xing's scalp instantly went numb!
What was going on?
F * ck, that was scary! Didn't you leave? Could it be that you saw through me? No way! 'My etiquette is exactly the same as what those little brothers have learned…'
Li Xingxin thought,'Could it be that there's something written on my face?'
"Your Majesty…"
Li Xing quickly got up again. Beside him, Li Si and the rest of the Li family did not know what had happened.
Why is Your Majesty looking at my boy with such a special gaze?
This Li Xing didn't usually do anything at home, right?
Of course, his aptitude was always average, and there was nothing outstanding about him.
"Your Majesty…"
Li Si could only say respectfully," This is my son, my youngest son, Li Xing."”
"Li Xing?"
Ying Zheng sized up Li Xing for a moment, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder." Hehe, good…good…hmm…sit down."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Li Xing sat down again.
You scared me to death. I thought you found out what I wanted…
Li Xing heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was looking at me a few more times on account of my father…However, we will not be on the same side sooner or later. It would be a waste for you to look at me.
You brat…
Hearing Li Xing's words, Ying Zheng's lips curled up into a smile.
He turned around and said to the remaining youths," I'm tired. You guys, drink up!”
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Now that he knew who the person he heard was, Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. There was no need to continue acting.
However, he was not in a hurry to expose anything. Instead, he was filled with curiosity towards Li Xing.
Why did Li Xing say that?
"Father."
Qin Shihuang had just sat down when a man in a white robe stood up next to him. From his expression, he looked elegant and easygoing.
"My son, Fusu?"
Seeing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he continued to smile," My son, today is my birthday. Could it be that you have thought of some congratulatory words?”
"Your son…"
Fu Su put his hands together." Father, today is Father's birthday, and everyone is celebrating it. I have a presumptuous request.”
"What are you trying to say?"
Hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
Although he did not know what Fu Su was going to say, he had already guessed it in his heart.
This Fu Su wouldn't say something to dampen my spirits at my birthday banquet, right?
He was the Eldest Young Master, Fu Su?
Li Xing craned his neck to take a look. This was Fu Su? I heard that you're very close to a group of Confucian scholars. You're benevolent and polite every day. You're not going to talk about benevolence and courtesy in front of Qin Shihuang's birthday banquet, are you? Ha, if you do this in front of your Imperial Father's birthday, isn't that too pedantic and a little unfilial?
Hiss?
After hearing Li Xing's inner thoughts, Ying Zheng's expression changed slightly.
This kid could actually think of this?
"Imperial Father, the birthday of the Son of Heaven is celebrated by the entire world and revered by the people.”
Fu Su composed himself and spoke with confidence." Your son believes that since ancient times, only a wise king can be revered by the people. Father might as well take advantage of his birthday to promote benevolence and abandon the harsh laws. With that, the people of the six Eastern countries would definitely be extremely grateful to their father!”
Hearing Fu Su's words, Ying Zheng's face darkened.
You really let me and Li Xing guess correctly. On my birthday, you actually sincerely want to make things difficult for me?
F * ck, Fu Su, you really did it!
When Li Xing heard this, he was instantly delighted. Who would treat their son like this? No matter what, he couldn't take advantage of his birthday to say these words that contradicted the Emperor's opinion in front of all the officials, right? Wasn't this taking the opportunity to force him?
If I were to say that someone dared to treat me like this, I would have to ask. You took advantage of Imperial Father's birthday in front of all the officials to raise opposing opinions, saying that you were taking the opportunity to coerce the Emperor not to be angry on his birthday. It's not too much! Was this behavior worthy of loyalty or filial piety? Disloyal and unfilial, is that considered benevolence and righteousness?
However, if His Majesty were to get angry, then this birthday banquet would really be over…Hehe, it was a pity that ordinary people would have no choice but to participate in this situation. But there's one person, Wang Jian, the old fox. His ability to smooth things over is definitely much stronger than my father's…
"Fusu…"
After hearing Li Xing's words, Ying Zheng glanced around and found that all the ministers were looking at each other, although they all knew that Fu Su's words would naturally make Ying Zheng very unhappy.
However, they did not dare to stand up and take the opportunity to refute.
Wasn't this the Emperor's birthday banquet?
Who would dare…
"Father…"
"Hehe, since you're learning the words of a Saint, then I'll invite an old man to answer you.”
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng did not lose his temper. Instead, he turned around and looked at Wang Jian." Marquis Wucheng, how old are you this year?”
"Your Majesty."
Wang Jian stood up and placed his hands together." This old minister is sixty-six years old this year.”
"Mhm, he's a very old man."
Ying Zheng laughed and said," Today, you will answer for me. Young Master Fusu, what you said just now, right?”
