Chapter 216 Li Si, you must scold Marquis Wu

Five days later.

There are many people surrounding the Xicheng City of Xianyang.

Judging from the dress of these people, there were scholars from the six countries, merchants and rangers from all over the world.

No matter whoever he was, he looked excited and stared at the list of books and read them carefully.

The guards of the Wuhou Mansion held their swords to protect their left and right, with a solemn murderous aura, slowly like a forest, which made people intimidate. Despite this, they still couldn't stop the scholars of the six countries from rushing to come.

For a time, the news of Wuhou Mansion recruiting its disciples spread throughout the Xianyang Market.

In Xianyang, who doesn’t know the great Qin Wuhou.

Nowadays, countless people in the entire city want to enter the Marquis' Mansion but cannot.

Since the scholars of the six kingdoms arrived in Xiaogong, they have entered Qin one after another. What is they just want to show what they have learned and become noble in front of others?

"Prime Minister Lu has raised three thousand disciples and has not been allowed to enter the Qin Dynasty for two years. I finally waited for the opportunity today."

"If I can become a subordinate of the Wuhou, it would be worth my five years in Qin."

In addition to Prime Minister Lu, there was also a powerful Wuhou in the court of the Qin Dynasty, but there was no guest under the Wuhou's family.

It is conceivable how exciting the list of Wuhou recruits his disciples is released.

At this time, the market was crowded with people.

In the tavern hundreds of steps away from the market, dozens of people gathered together to discuss and look angry.

As soon as Li Si entered the tavern, he saw a young man sitting on the side of the tavern, drinking alone in his bottle.

Li Si hesitated for a while and walked over and saluted, "I have met Brother Lu, Brother Lu has arrived today quite early."

Lu Xun raised his head and saw Li Si. He was happy and immediately stood up and said, "Brother Li, hurry up and sit in the shopkeeper, prepare the wine and meat."

Li Si couldn't hide his shame and said, "It's time for Brother Lu to spend money again."

Lu Xun said: "This kind of money is insignificant compared to Brother Li's talent. It is truly eye-opening to hear Brother Li's remarks in the past two days. In comparison, Lu Mou should have taken advantage of Brother Li."

Li Si smiled hard and said, "Brother Lu has praised Li. If he really had such talent and knowledge as Brother Lu said, he would not have fallen into the field of today."

Lu Xun shook his head slightly, picked up the wine bottle, and said, "In life, things are not satisfactory. We merchants sometimes make a fortune, but sometimes lose a lot of money. Brother Li regards his talent and knowledge as a businessman's business. Isn't this situation also in line with this principle?"

Seeing Li Si in deep thought, Lu Xun pointed to the people around him.

He continued, "Look, the scholars around him are not as talented as Brother Li, but they are happy because of the opportunity. Since this is the case, Brother Li has the talent to save the world. Is it that he can't compare to these mediocre scholars? Or did Brother Li forget the original intention of why he came to Qin from the Jixia Academy?"

Lis suddenly became much more radiant.

Yes, have you forgotten your original intention?

He picked up the wine bottle and touched Lu Xun for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu for telling me, and let Li suddenly understand. Come on, I respect Brother Lu."

Just as the two were discussing, a person suddenly ran over outside the tavern.

The man looked happy, holding a piece of silk in his hand, and whispered: "Everyone, I've copied the list of documents."

For a moment, everyone stopped talking.

Even many people outside the pass were standing under the eaves of the door, wanting to hear it.

Although the list of documents was notified, the place was already overcrowded and could not move forward at all.

"Oh? Come on."

"Brother Yang is really fast."

Li Si and Lu Xun also looked over.

For a moment, the entire tavern turned its attention to the visitor.

The scholar took a sip of water, picked up the silk, and said, "Wu Hou asked for the orders of talent and told the scholars of the world that Qin State is about to be accomplished and great cause is in sight. However, when our great Qin Dynasty was released through civil strife and foreign troubles, we have set aside a corner of the great country."

The scholar paused a little.

Many scholars nodded.

The scholar continued to recite: "Qin, the four generations of the former kings, fought hard every year, and wanted to revitalize, and millions of martyrs died of hatred. Since the reform of Qin Shangjun, he has been stronger than other countries, but the six countries in Shandong are not afraid of Qin, and they want to divide Qin and destroy Qin and then quickly. The national humiliation is nothing greater than this. Su Jie is a marquis and often thinks about the national humiliation and is sad in his heart. Now, Su Jieming tells the world."

"But those with great talents will be given high salaries and later benefits, and the profits will be divided without reservation. I wish to accept talents from all over the world to offer talented people from all over the world to make good plans and encourage each other. In the name of becoming the leader, I created the Qin State's move to take the tripod. The Wuhou of this marquis is also your Wuhou. If you meet a good talent, I wish to be the wise king of Qin and want to encourage the Qin Dynasty to boost the Qin Dynasty."

The scholar put away the silk and couldn't hide his excitement.

You should know that in this era, we should be an official, and there is no imperial examination, only recommendations. It is very difficult for ordinary disciples to become officials of the court. However, in Su Jie's order to seek talents, he has clearly stated that as long as he has talent, he will recommend it to the king. This is undoubtedly very attractive to anyone.

Many people fucked a bottle of wine and said, "Let's go, join Wuhou!"

There was a burst of noise.

Lu Xun looked at Li Si and said, "Brother Li has any comments?"

Lu Xun's words also attracted a lot of attention, because Li Si was a disciple of Lu Buwei and many scholars knew him.

Although everyone still doesn't know that Li Si has been driven out by Lu Buwei, it doesn't prevent him from listening to the views of this prime minister's disciple.

For a moment, everyone looked at Li Si.

Li Si looked at everyone, thought for a while, and said calmly: "Wuhou's orders to seek talent is so thirsty."

Lu Xun smiled and said, "How can I see it?"

Li Si said: "I am sad about the national humiliation. Only Duke Xiao and Wuhou, who are not great wise men, dare not speak out in a blunt manner. Secondly, Duke Wu does not seek the administration of the disciples, but only seeks to boost the talents of Qin. He can be a Kunpeng from afar and see the eight deserts. Thirdly, he has a broad mind and dares to share the title of Duke Wu with his disciples, and recommends the wise kings. The heart of the public can show the sun and the moon. These three points can be called sincere pursuit of talent."

The scholars looked at each other, their eyes becoming more excited.

For a moment, the scholars left the restaurant and headed towards the Wuhou Mansion.

Lu Xun said: "Since Brother Li is no longer under the Prime Minister, why don't you go to the Wuhou Mansion? With Brother Li's talent, he will definitely be valued by Wuhou. By then, he will enter the court in one fell swoop and become Shangjun's achievements."

Li Si shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to go, but that there is something else."

Lu Xun smiled secretly, "I understand."

Li Si asked in confusion: "What does Brother Lu understand?"

Lu Xun took a sip of wine and said, "In the past, Jiang Taigong was fishing in the abyss, but he held a hookless rod. How could he know that King Wen admired his reputation and bowed his back to the hunchback, so he became the prime minister. This made the foundation of the 800th year of Zhou Dynasty. Only later generations would have Jiang Taigong fishing and the story of willing to take the bait. Brother is a great wise man, so he naturally would not imitate ordinary scholars and choose to worship the family. Is Brother Li also ready to imitate Jiang Shang and spread the good words that match the past and the present? If he did the opposite, he could get into the eyes of Wuhou in one fell swoop, which is a good idea."

Li Si was stunned.

Although he has a reputation for talent, he is still far from comparable to Jiang Shang as Lu Xun mentioned.

Therefore, I realized that this was Lu Xun complimenting him.

Suddenly, Li Si also spoke: "I am not sure about it. Brother Lu doesn't know what he is. The reason why he was expelled from the mansion by Prime Minister Lu was because of Marquis Wu."

Lu Xun was shocked and asked, "There is still this? Please give me some advice?"

Afterwards, Li Si talked about Su Jie and Lu Buwei about writing books one by one.

The two most powerful men in the Qin Dynasty were equivalent to keeping him out of the door. The ambitions of that time seemed to have cut off the road in Qin State.

Lu Xun and Li Si drank two drinks, then smiled and said, "So that's it. I heard that Brother Li worked as a small official in Chu for a while before coming to Qin?"

Li Si looked up and although he didn't know why Lu Xun asked this, he nodded.

Lu Xun said: "I heard that when Brother Li was an official in Chu State, he saw rats in the toilet scramble to eat food when he was going out to the toilet. Then, Brother Li drove him away. Later, the rats met the evil dog and hid in the granary. When Brother Li returned to the granary, he saw these rats leisurely swallowing food in the warehouse and lying safely in the big house!"

Li Si said in surprise: "Where did Brother Lu know about this?"

Lu Xun said: "In the downward Shang Dynasty, Yu Shizi had many exchanges. When he was in the State of Chu, he heard that Brother Li once said that people are wise and sophisticated or not, like these mice, but they are in different places."

"Brother Li now has a lofty ambition, but he is at ease. In my opinion, it is like a rat in the toilet, he is self-confidence and does not know where the granary is!"

Li Si's eyes magnified and looked at Lu Xun in surprise. He never expected that this young businessman would have such insight.

He immediately said: "I'm here to learn."

Lu Xun said: "Looking down, Brother Li has a bright mind and ambition to save the world, but he is so proud of himself. When you came to Xianyang, you just wanted to hide in a shabby house and ask for a few stones of grain to fill your stomach? The reason why you refused to go to Wuhou's mansion was simply that you thought Wuhou had criticized your talents, but why did you think Wuhou was truly seeking talents?"

"this?"

Lu Xun's words rekindled his heart.

The reason why he didn't go was that he heard that Wu Hou criticized him for his side in public?

Seeing Li Si's expression changing, Lu Xun smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Li has not forgotten his original intention. Why not make a decision for Brother Li when he is leaving? As for how to act, Brother Li can make a decision on his own."

Li Si said immediately: "I hope to hear the details."

Lu Xun said: "This person criticized Brother Li's talent and Brother Li must be very dissatisfied. Since in Brother Li's heart, the future has been cut off, it is better to seek wealth and danger."

Li Si said in surprise: "How can you seek wealth and honor in danger?"

Lu Xun continued: "Brother Li only needs a letter and personally send it to the Wuhou Mansion. In the letter, he scolded this person, called seeking talents, but he really did not know about the wise. This person must be angry and determined to meet him in person. However, this time is when Wuhou recruits talents, and he will definitely not punish you. I am afraid that he will argue with you in person. With your talent, are you still afraid of debate? I am afraid that Wuhou will be impressed by you on the spot and apologize for the events that day."

Li Si was excited and said, "This method is extremely good!"

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Brother Li, remember, you must scold this person."

Li Si asked, "Why?"

Lu Xun said: "If you don't scold and just argue, wouldn't it seem that you are narrow-minded and just a fight for loyalty? But if you are angry and scold this person, it will make Wu Hou think that he has indeed let down your desire to serve the country with all his power, and he will inevitably be ashamed and angry as a guest of honor."

Li Si thought for a moment and stood up immediately and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your honest words today. If Li Si can enter the palace of Wuhou, he will definitely not forget the great kindness that Brother Lu mentioned today. I always thought that he had some talent, but I didn't expect that I became the rat in the toilet that I said. Brother Lu, please accept my greeting."

Li Si bowed and bowed.

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Brother Li is so serious. Even if you don't talk about these principles, Brother Li will understand them. The key point of this matter is that the more you scold, the more persuasive it will be."

Li Si nodded and said, "I will definitely scold this person in pain."

Lu Xun said with satisfaction: "Very good!"
