The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 451 Han Fei, Kneel
Li Si did not sleep for the entire night and did not drink a drop of water.

Finally, he sighed deeply and prepared to go to the palace to present the book.

Brother, fortunately you were born at the wrong time, fortunately you are a prince of Korea, fortunately you have a good sister, fortunately you still have your pride, fortunately the Qin Dynasty no longer relies solely on the Legalists.

Li Si's thoughts were flowing in his mind, and his heart was turning around and around, and he didn't know how much it had changed.

Finally, with a sigh and a laugh, no matter what, you and I, brothers and sisters, can finally stand together through thick and thin and move forward hand in hand.

It won't end up to a life-and-death fight between brothers.

On the way into the palace, Li Si read it again. Li Si also had the ability of photographic memory. He made sure again and again that he had memorized it before he felt relieved. He had already made a secret decision in his heart to find time to copy it down.

However, after Li Si explained the matter and presented the book, something happened that surprised Li Si.

Although the king showed his appreciation, he was not as happy as he had imagined.

It shouldn't have happened. The king has always been eager to seek talented people, so he shouldn't have such a relatively calm reaction.

With the king's wisdom and intelligence, it is impossible that he could not understand the profound contents of this book.

This book is a culmination of Legalist thought, systematically expounding the Legalist philosophy of governing a country by combining "law", "technique" and "power". Once this book was published, there was no more Legalist books.

Zhong Cang was highly educated, specialized in Legalism, and was also a great man of his time, but he could never write such a complete and systematic book in his lifetime.

Ying Zheng's abnormal reaction really left Li Si puzzled, and in the end he could only sigh that the king was unfathomable and unpredictable.

However, this also made Li Si feel more at ease. He was really a little afraid that Ying Zheng would get carried away and over-rely on Han Fei. Although he had the upper hand, the ability of his senior brother was indeed shocking.

Now the king is not as excited as imagined, which is also a good thing. That's good. That's good.

Ying Zheng said that’s right, if you can know everything clearly, how can you be the boss?

Han Fei already has everything under control, so we just need to wait him out.

Han Fei's current situation is special. He has to be enthusiastic, but also not too enthusiastic.

You can't give him too high expectations at the beginning, lest he have some unrealistic fantasies which would be bad.

Anyway, Honglian is here, so he can't run away.

Ying Zheng finally smiled at Li Si and said, "Brother Qing is indeed worthy of being from a noble family with Master Qing. Both of us are outstanding people of our time and have great talents. I am really curious about how many more heroes Xunzi can train for me."

Li Si replied respectfully: "All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. It is a blessing for me to be your subject. Without your kindness and promotion, how could I have the fame and wealth I have today? Your kindness in recognizing and employing me is something I will never be able to repay even if I die!"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "If you don't let me down, I will never let you down."

"Bring Han Fei to see me tomorrow."

Li Si took the order and withdrew, and Ying Zheng's eyes became more profound.

The next day, Li Si brought Han Fei to the Xianyang Palace for an audience.

Han Fei was a man of calm mind, and he was never easily disturbed by anything. Even so, when he first entered the Xianyang Palace, he was still nervous and his palms were sweating.

Only magnificence can convey majesty. The majestic and solemn Xianyang Palace intimidates everyone who enters.

The first time you see it, everyone will feel fear and respect in their hearts. Every time after that, people will still be unconsciously cautious.

No matter how heroic a person is, in front of Ying Zheng, he would either be sweating profusely and trembling with fear, or feel dry mouth and uneasy.

This is the charm of power. No one can remain indifferent in front of a monarch who decides the life and death, honor and disgrace of himself, his family, and all his relatives and friends.

Ying Zheng never needed to roar or yell. No matter how low and small his words were, everyone would try their best to listen.

It doesn’t matter whether his emotions are expressed on his face, because no one dares to look directly at Ying Zheng’s face or try to guess his expression. All eyes must be on Ying Zheng’s knees.

Even in the harem, surrounded by beauties, no matter how much they loved Ying Zheng, or how much Ying Zheng doted on a woman, they had to carefully pay attention to Ying Zheng's every move and every expression.

Just a glance over and a slight frown on his brows was enough to make everyone feel uneasy.

This is the charm of power.

This is why Ying Zheng wanted to cling to power so tightly.

This pleasure of dominating everything is the most wonderful poison.

Even Ying Zheng could not give it up, and was not willing to give it up at all.

Always wanting more, more, more.

Dominate all the same kind, control all life and death, honor and disgrace, and make everyone prostrate themselves on their knees.

With one command, mountains and rivers changed their courses and the earth transformed.

A true emperor is no different from a god.

Even bluntly speaking, in this real world, even gods must be addressed respectfully:
His Majesty!

Han Fei was a true genius, a genius destined to have his name and thoughts integrated into human history, a dragon among men.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unprecedented.

But he is still just an ordinary person now.

An ordinary person who is not successful.

Even though he is the ninth prince of Korea, even though he has his own pride.

Even though he was strong, intelligent, and knowledgeable, he still felt nervous because of fear.

He didn't feel any security here, and he had no one to rely on.

The master here can decide everything with just one word as long as he wants, and no one can change it.

Passing through the tall and magnificent palace gate, the solemn and dignified palace road, the tall and mighty elite soldiers looked at you with sharp eyes.

Climbing the stairs that seemed to have no top and looking at the palace where majestic buildings were built, he truly realized what unparalleled power and majesty were.

In South Korea, he was fearless, just a little apprehensive at best.

His father was the King of Han. Even though some ministers in the court were powerful, the balance of power was always maintained.

Zhang Kaidi could not scare him, as he was a loyal minister of their Han family for generations.

Ji Wuye Baiyi was not able to make him afraid because they were in a balanced game of power.

Even his father could not scare him, because he knew very well that as long as he did not touch anyone's bottom line, no one would really do anything to him.

But it's different here.

The owner of the Xianyang Palace, King Qin Ying Zheng, is the most powerful person in the world. As long as the King Qin is willing, his will will be executed.

Han Fei followed Li Si's attitude and unconsciously became more respectful and cautious.

Power is invisible and intangible, but it is infinitely powerful and can naturally change everything.

As long as you survive in human society, you cannot escape it.

When they arrived outside the Zhangfa Hall, the two waited for a long time before they were summoned to come in.

When he entered the palace, he saluted meticulously and respectfully: "Your Majesty, I, Li Si (Han Fei), pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."

"Flat body."

"Give me a seat."

After the two men sat down, Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei and took a look. He looked similar to his impression, but he was dressed much more formally.

There was no frivolity in his brows, and even his natural peach blossom eyes were now full of seriousness, solemnity, and full of respect and caution.

It can be seen that he has truly grown a lot during these years of being beaten in South Korea.

There is a strand of white hair on the left side of his head, and it is obvious that he was beaten severely.

Ying Zheng was satisfied in his heart. He believed that he would not allow any of his subordinates to be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. It was good that they had matured.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I have read Mr. Han's masterpiece carefully again and again. It is truly extraordinary and extraordinary."

"Once this work was published, there was no other book on the Legalists. It was able to describe the Legalists' principles, laws, techniques, and momentum so thoroughly and clearly. It is truly a masterpiece."

"You are indeed Xunzi's disciple. You are even better than your teacher. Xunzi has trained two such great talents for me. I really want to thank you."

Han Fei hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am really ashamed to accept it. Your Excellency is well-versed in history and knowledge, and I am far behind you."

"Junior brother is resourceful, decisive, smart and capable. He is a hero among men. I am a foolish minister. I am just a few years older than you. I cannot compare with you."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Han Qing is too modest. Han Qing's talent is outstanding, just like the light shining on real gold, which is eye-catching."

"Have you given your book a title?"

Han Fei replied: "Your Majesty, this work of mine has just been completed and has not yet been circulated or given a name."

Ying Zheng said: "This book is profound and profound, and it is truly a masterpiece. You are the master of the legal school, and it is appropriate to name it after you."

"This book has a profound insight into worldly affairs and emphasizes strict laws and disciplines in the rule of law. I would like to use it as a teaching book for the Xianyang Academy. What do you think?"

There are few people in the world with a bad reputation. Even Han Fei, who is only in his thirties now, can be called a master and leave his name for thousands of years. How can he not be excited and moved?

Although he was very confident in his own work, the difference between having the help of the King of Qin and not having the help of the King of Qin was completely different.

For Ying Zheng, once a book came out, it could no longer be banned, especially a good book, so it was better to guide than to block.

Since it is impossible to stop him, it is better to recruit him for your own use. The smart people who can enter the Xianyang Academy know everything. It would be better to teach them systematically, and you can also take this opportunity to win over Han Fei's heart.

Han Fei stood up and saluted, saying loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Quickly stand up and sit down."

"With your talent, how can I not make use of you?"

"Do you know that I am already planning new laws and policies for the Qin Dynasty?"

Han Fei hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know the details, but from what I saw and heard during my trip to Qin, I can tell that the situation in Qin is fundamentally changing."

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Talent is talent, and one can see the big picture from the small details.

He said: "You are right. Great Qin has already been making changes. We have been preparing since the last king ascended the throne."

"Do you know why it has to change?"

Han Fei's heart tightened, he knew that this was a test.
