About two hours later.
The Qin royal palace!
When the officials heard the edict, they hurried to the court.
Unlike the past, when they appeared in the court, Qin Yiren was already on the high platform.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"My dear ministers, please excuse me."
Qin Yiren said happily.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the officials stood up, Ying Yiren said with a happy face,"Today, I summoned all my beloved ministers here to tell all of you a joyous matter!”
"There's a battle report from Yanmen Prefecture. Old General Meng Ao has led the Qin army to break through the outer city. It's only a matter of time before they break through the inner city!”
When these words were spoken, the faces of the officials in the court revealed joy. They cupped their hands and bowed,"We congratulate Your Majesty!"
Lu Buwei took the lead and walked out of the court, saying respectfully,""Your Majesty, the Zhao Kingdom of Yanmen Prefecture has been defeated. The other five countries will not dare to send troops without permission!”
"At that time, the Zhao envoy will probably return empty-handed!”
"Haha ~"
Ying Yiren laughed loudly, nodded and said,"Today, apart from telling all of you about this matter, I also want to discuss with you what Great Qin should do next!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials gradually calmed down and discussed in low voices.
"Your Majesty, now that my Qin country has sent an envoy to visit Korea, we can roughly guess the thoughts of the other countries.”
"This subject believes that it is not appropriate to continue sending troops to Zhao!”
"Oh?"
Ying Yiren was surprised. He asked in confusion,"What does Prime Minister mean?"
" Your Majesty," Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said," Although our Qin State is strong, it is not the best time to annex the six states.”
"Moreover, our Qin Country is using troops against Zhao. We have to slowly nibble away at them. If we rush things, it is very likely that the other five countries will be afraid and force the other countries to ally with Zhao!”
Then, Lu Buwei bowed and returned to the court, waiting for Qin Yiren's decision.
The royal court was extremely quiet.
The civil and military officials in the court were also secretly pondering Prime Minister Lu Buwei's advice.
"What do you all think of the Prime Minister's words?”
Ying Yiren asked after pondering for a while.
Weiyang Lord Ying He walked out of the court and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, I agree with the Prime Minister.”
"The best way now is to wait and test the attitudes of the other countries!”
"Forcing Zhao to compromise with Qin!”
"A weapon that defeats others without fighting!"
"Good!"
Ying Yiren nodded with a smile and said,"I will follow the Prime Minister and Wei Yang Lord's words and order Meng Ao to continue attacking Yanmen County to test the situation of the other countries.”
"Other than that, I ordered the spies of the Qin country to spread the news that the Zhao country was defeated and everyone was in panic.”
"I want to borrow the troops of the five countries to resist the Qin country and protect the strength of the Zhao country!”
The officials in the court looked at each other and cupped their hands."Yes!"
"Lord Wei Yang."
"I'm here." Ying He bowed respectfully.”
"I ordered you to bring Li Si here. Where is he now?”
"Your Majesty, Li Si is waiting outside the palace.”
"Summon him into the hall!"
"Yes!"
The eunuch took a step forward and announced loudly,""The king has ordered Li Si to enter the palace!”
Li Si walked up to the palace.
It was magnificent and majestic.
That was the only thought in Li Si's mind.
Finally, he was finally close to power!!!
Li Si suppressed the surprise in his heart and tried his best to calm down.
In the court, Lu Buwei's gaze fell on Li Si, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li Si greets the king."
"No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Yiren looked at Li Si and said with a smile,""Li Si, I heard that you studied under Xun Zi and later studied Legalism.”
"He is also from the same sect as Han Fei, the Ninth Young Master of Han Country.”
"That's right."
Ying Yiren nodded slightly and said,"Great Qin has always valued talents, and we hope that all the talented people in the world can come to Great Qin!”
"I heard that Mister is a guest of the Prime Minister's residence and is now teaching my son.”
"Such a talented person has never held any position in my Great Qin.”
"Prime minister, I have to talk to you about this matter!”
Lu Buwei couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
"Pass on my decree to temporarily grant Li Si the title of Qin Visitor.”
"I hope that you will serve Great Qin well in the future.”
"The Prime Minister shouldn't blame me for poaching your henchmen, right?”
Lu Buwei hurriedly walked out of the court and bowed in fear,""I dare not."
"This subject is the king's subject, so this subject's hanger-on is naturally also the king's subject.”
Hearing this, Ying Yiren nodded in satisfaction and said,"That's good."
"Retreat!"
"Yes!"
"We respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."
Outside the Qin palace.
All the officials left the court one after another.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to leave, Li Si quickly walked up and apologized,""Prime Minister, Li Si had no choice but to accept the King's decree. I hope that Prime Minister will not blame him.”
Lu Buwei smiled and said,""You have your own talent. It is your ability to gain the recognition of Chehou and the King.”
"In the future, you must be loyal to Great Qin and assist the king.”
"Yes."
Li Si cupped his hands and bowed.
Lu Buwei smiled and patted Li Si's shoulder before turning to leave.
After a long time.
In the palace of the King of Qin, all the officials had left. Only Li Si stood outside the palace, looking up at the plaque.
"A mere visitor might not be important in your eyes!”
"But in my eyes, this is the first step for me to step into the eyes of the seven kingdoms!”
"I, Li Si, will one day become a high ranking official and be conferred the title of Marquis!”
"Junior brother, let's compete and see who will be the first to complete the dream in their hearts!”
……
In the Prime Minister's residence.
After Lu Buwei returned to the mansion, he was sulking by himself.
He was not angry that Li Si had become an audience.
Instead, the power in his hands and his henchmen were being divided bit by bit!
Furthermore, in his eyes, Li Si was also very shrewd.
Such a person would definitely not be ranked behind others!
In fact, in the future, the person who would seize the power in his hands might very well be him!
Thinking so, Lu Buwei slammed his palm on the table.
But all of a sudden, the anger on Lu Buwei's face was replaced by fear.
"Could it be that everything today was arranged by Marquis Che?”
Lu Buwei's expression was extremely unsightly, and he didn't even dare to continue imagining it.
If it was really Chehou's intention, then if he attacked Li Si, he would be making an enemy out of Chehou!
