Qin Shi: I only work eight hours
Chapter 56 National Master?
Chapter 56 National Master?
Yangquan Jun said in the letter that he hoped Xu Lin would not be idle recently and it would be best if he could persuade the Qin royal family to help.
Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled.
He has little contact with the royal family, so this matter can only be done by Zheng Ge. But it is estimated that even if Zheng Ge goes there in person, it will be difficult to convince the royal family to help. If the royal family is willing to help, why has Zheng Ge not been crowned until now?
In fact, the royal family just needs to remain neutral and not help anyone.
Yangquan Jun also said in the letter that when the cooperation just started, he did not want their cooperation to be like the six states in Shandong, which were united in appearance but divided in reality to attack Qin.
Seeing this, Xu Lin smiled and shook his head.
No wonder Yangquan Jun is not well-known in history. Not to mention compared with Queen Dowager Huayang and Changping Jun, he may not even be comparable to Changwen Jun.
What kind of crappy example is this?
You compare him and Huayang Palace to the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, and compare Lu Buwei to the Qin Dynasty. You really know how to give examples!
He understood what Yangquanjun meant, but he really didn’t like the example he gave!
Yangquan Jun finally said that as far as he knew, Ying Jian of the royal family and Lu Buwei's confidant had been getting very close recently, and the two sides might have some kind of deal.
After reading it, Xu Lin frowned, stroked his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
No wonder the royal family always disagreed with Ying Zheng’s crowning. So this is the reason.
But he couldn't interfere in this matter, so he had to let Brother Zheng handle it.
Thinking of this, Xu Lin put down the letter and turned to look at Yangquan Jun Mansion.
Although Yangquan Jun is not well-known, many people say that he is a fool and that he relies on Queen Dowager Huayang to get to where he is today. But now it seems that Yangquan Jun is not a complete waste, otherwise how could he get the news that Lu Buwei's confidant is close to the royal family member Ying Jian?
Thinking of this, Xu Lin smiled indifferently and burned Yangquanjun's letter.
Luowang assassins are all over Xianyang, so he will not reply to Yangquan Jun.
Toppling Lu Buwei was a long process and could not be accomplished overnight, so he was not in a hurry to meet Ying Zheng.
The most urgent task is to punish Li Ji and let her know how powerful he is!
"What did he say in the letter?"
Seeing Xu Lin ready to go, Li Ji blinked her long, clear eyes and asked.
She will also let Xu Lin know how powerful she is tonight!
After saying this, she quickly walked to the bamboo window and closed it.
Then he bolted the door and lit the stove.
"He said I couldn't sit idle either."
"Let me help convince the royal family."
Xu Lin said loudly.
After saying that, he asked Li Ji to lie down in front of the bamboo window.
Because Li Ji is shorter than Xu Lin, she needs to stand on tiptoe with her back to Xu Lin.
After standing on tiptoe, Li Ji took the initiative to attack without waiting for Xu Lin to make a move.
……
The next day.
Xu Lin slept until noon.
He almost lost to Li Ji last night, so Li Ji has not woken up yet.
Seeing that Li Ji was sleeping soundly, Xu Lin smiled, then lifted Li Ji's left arm and moved it from his chest to Li Ji's lower abdomen.
After a quick wash and a bite to eat, he took a carriage to Zhangtai Palace.
At this time, Ying Zheng was reading memorials in his study. Gai Nie, wearing a blue and white robe, with a long sword hanging from his waist, was guarding outside the hall, standing like a green pine, without saying a word.
Not long after, Xu Lin saw Gai Nie.
"If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Gai Niegai, right?"
Xu Lin looked at Gai Nie and asked loudly.
The young man Gai Nie has a handsome face and a pair of bright eyes. He is dressed simply and has short hair, looking neat and tidy.
"Yes."
Gai Nie was stunned when he heard this, then nodded.
After learning that the visitor was Xu Lin, who invented straw paper and printing, the two began to chat.
"I wonder what Mr. Gai thinks of betrayal?"
After half an incense stick of time, Xu Lin asked.
Ying Zheng was concentrating on reading the memorials, so he was not in a hurry to see Ying Zheng.
"Eating the emperor's salary is the only way to be loyal to the emperor."
"Mr. Xu, do you think I will betray the king?"
Gai Nie's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he asked in a serious tone.
"Mr. Guy misunderstood."
"I didn't mean that. I just asked casually." Xu Lin smiled and shook his head.
Lao Ai is dead, and Li Ji has been captured by him. He hopes that Gai Nie will not betray Ying Zheng again like in the original novel.
Then he slowly walked towards Ying Zheng.
Soon, he came in front of Ying Zheng.
"Mr. Xu?"
"How did you come?"
"But what new inventions have you made?"
After catching a glimpse of Xu Lin from the corner of his eye, Ying Zheng put down the memorial and asked loudly.
Xu Lin shook his head, then raised his hand and pointed at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After seeing this scene, Ying Zheng frowned and asked Zhao Gao to go out of the hall as well.
After Zhao Gao left, Xu Lin told Ying Zheng about how he got the Lüshi Chunqiu through Zhao Ji, and then went to see the Queen Mother Huayang and wrote a letter to Yangquan Jun to plot against Lü Buwei.
"The reason I am only telling His Majesty this now is because I was not sure whether Huayang Palace would agree to cooperate."
Xu Lin added in a deep voice.
Although Ying Zheng was broad-minded, this was not a trivial matter after all, so it would be better to explain it.
"It doesn't matter."
Ying Zheng waved his hand.
Then he personally poured a bowl of wine for Xu Lin.
This is good news for him, so it should be clear!
"Sir, please don't worry about the royal family."
"I will personally go to see Lord Shang and the others in a few days."
After a few breaths, Ying Zheng said seriously.
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle.
Xu Lin nodded and took a sip of rice wine.
Although the wine in Zhangtai Palace was expensive, he still didn't like it.
"After this is accomplished, I will promote you to the position of Imperial Master of the Great Qin!"
"Below one person, above ten thousand people!"
After half an hour, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows and promised.
"Forehead……"
"In fact, compared to official positions, I prefer money and beautiful women."
Xu Lin muttered softly.
He has no interest in being an official because the higher the position, the more tiring it will be!
Haven’t you seen that Ying Zheng had to review memorials until late at night every day and did not dare to indulge in women?
Being a tyrant is not tiring, but the problem is that the country will be destroyed in a few years!
Therefore, it is most comfortable to be a salted fish. You don’t have to worry about the emperor’s suspicion, and you can still enjoy yourself!
"Sir, you..."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head.
This is only Xu Lin. If it were someone else, who would dare to directly refuse the position of National Master?
"Money, beauty, and official position are not in conflict with each other."
"If I don't reward you generously after I'm crowned, others will think I don't know how to reward and punish!"
Ying Zheng said.
Xu Lin hesitated to speak after hearing this.
Although he was good at debating, sometimes he really couldn't win the argument with Ying Zheng.
"It's getting late, I'll go back first!"
After a brief pause, Xu Lin said.
After saying this, he put down the bowl and walked away.
Looking at Xu Lin's back gradually walking away, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly.
After Lu Buwei was overthrown, if Xu Linruo insisted on not being the national teacher, he really couldn't do anything about Xu Lin. He couldn't force Xu Lin to be the national teacher, right?
Forcing others to do something can sometimes backfire!
It would be troublesome if Xu Lin was forced to go to Zhao, Chu and other countries!
After Xu Lin left, Zhao Gao stepped forward and volunteered to go find Shang Gong and others on behalf of the king.
Before Zhao Gao could finish his words, he was rejected by Ying Zheng.
This matter is of great importance, Ying Zheng must go in person.
Even if we cannot get help from Lord Shang and others, we must make sure that Lord Shang and other clan members do not help anyone else!
