Li Si took a deep breath and said slowly,""…Li Si is a commoner. He was born in a humble and poor family. He only studied for fame and fortune. He doesn't have the ideals and pursuits of Senior Brother Han Fei.”

" Li Si also doesn't have that kind of determined character. He's unwilling to give up what's near for what's far away, to give up what's easy for what's difficult. Since he's already experienced the hardships of the bottom, he only wants to use the simplest method to get what he wants.”

" Teacher taught me without discrimination. He took pity on me and took me in as a disciple. Li Si didn't dare to slack off and studied hard. He learned knowledge from Teacher and broadened his horizons.”

" Li Si has recently analyzed and compared the situation of the various countries. Korea is weak and is located in a strategic location. Now that the King of Korea is mediocre, it will be difficult for him to even defend his foundation.”

"Although Senior Brother Han Fei is the Ninth Young Master, he is still the Ninth Young Master. Besides, Korea is full of shortcomings and is located in the east of the State of Qin.”

" No matter how talented Senior Brother Han Fei is, it will take time to correct such an irreparable Korea.”

"However, the Qin country would not give it time to do so.”

"Although the Chu Country is vast, it has a small population and lacks stamina. Moreover, the nobles of the Chu Country are extravagant and there is no way for them to advance.”

"Li Si looked at all the countries. Only the Qin country has undergone the reform of the Shang King. Its officials are clear and its national strength is strong. It also has the intention to annex the six countries.”

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Thus, Li Si is bold enough to pay his respects to Lord Chang 'an. I hope you can give Li Si a chance.”

With that, Li Si bowed for the third time.

Ying Wei remained noncommittal and said,"…Then why did you come and beg me?"

Li Si cupped his hands and replied,"…Lord Chang 'an is the King of Qin. He is also the younger brother of the current King of Qin. He is also Li Si's disciple. I think Lord Chang' an should know Li Si's ability.”

"Li Si thought about it and decided that asking to see Lord Chang 'an is the most convenient way.”

You can't be humble when you recommend yourself. Don't really wait for some King to discover your talent.

Then, if he couldn't find it, he would say sourly that he didn't know a thousand-li horse.

When recommending themselves, they naturally had to say a lot of flowery words to show off their abilities as much as possible.

Li Si's words were not humble enough, but he wanted to tell Ying Wei that he was really talented.

Ying Wei finally turned around and looked at Li Si with a faint smile.""…Of course I know about Junior Brother's talent.”

"But Li Si, are you prepared? Since you know that I'm the younger brother of the current King of Qin, you understand that I can only rely on the King of Qin and can only be the King of Qin.”

"And now, Lu Buwei's power in the Imperial Court of Qin is overwhelming. It's difficult for the King of Qin to govern personally. Since you have considered all the countries, you should know this.”

"If you become my guest and get involved in the whirlpool of the Qin Dynasty's royal court, you will have a slim chance of survival.”

"A practical person like you is most afraid of death. Do you have the courage of the scholarly faction to 'sacrifice your life for righteousness'?”

As soon as Ying Wei finished speaking, Li Si felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body trembled and he broke out in cold sweat. He finally realized where the problem was.

He had only thought of using Ying Wei to rise to the top, but he had forgotten about the cruelty of political struggles and the current state of Qin's court.

" Li Si…Li Si…"

Li Si's voice was hoarse and he was drenched in sweat. He was terrified and did not dare to reply.

Seeing Li Si like this, Ying Wei waved his hand and said,""Alright, since you haven't thought it through, go ahead and think about it.”

Li Si thanked her and left.

When he was far away from Ying Wei's line of sight, he touched his back. He was so scared.

This was the power and technique of Legalism. In just two or three sentences, Lord Chang 'an almost broke his defense.

At the same time, a hint of fanaticism flashed across Li Si's eyes. Legalism was used by the superior to the inferior. He, Li Si, also wanted to become the superior who could decide the life and death of others with a single word!

Ying Wei continued fishing. He held the fishing rod in his hand and suddenly asked,"…Yu, what do you think of Li Si?”

Startling Salamander was startled for a moment. She didn't expect Ying Wei to ask her this question. She was just a concubine. How could she know this?

However, did this also mean that Lord Chang 'an trusted him?

As he thought about it, Startling Salamander answered carefully,""…I don't dare to speak nonsense. However, someone who is so greedy for power should be disliked by others.”

The Startling Salamander didn't dare to not answer. It could only use its own thoughts and understanding to say so.

Ying Wei smiled."…The seven kingdoms have always been on friendly terms with each other. In this era of war, everyone is fighting for power. Li Si seems to be greedy for power, but there's no need to laugh at him.”

" On the contrary, for those in power, people like Li Si who have desires, greed, and talent are actually the most favored by those in power.”

"If everyone really sacrificed their lives for justice, ha, who would dare to use these people? That would only make people unable to enjoy the wonders of power and make the monarch feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.”

After saying that, Ying Wei stopped talking. He looked at the Startling Salamander, who seemed to be thinking, and laughed to himself. He wanted the Startling Salamander to think, regardless of whether he was speaking the truth or not.

As long as a person grasped knowledge and learned to think, they would pursue freedom.

Knowledge and thinking were the necessary means to break free from the shackles.
