Chapter 52 Section 7 cuts to the chase

Let's say that Li Si talked about himself, and his mouth was full of saliva.Is Li Si's move just because, as the host, he is obliged to maintain the atmosphere of the banquet so as not to be left alone; or is it because he is good at being a teacher and is used to showing off his knowledge, so he must find enough sense of conquest from Yao Jia? As a person in charge, Yao Jia knew very well that neither of these were undoubtedly Li Si's real intentions.Although Li Si's talk was rambling and rambling, Yao Jia clearly felt that these scattered chats would eventually converge to a central point.And this central point must be related to him, Yao Jia.

Yao Jia is not pretending to be affectionate.At today's banquet, Li Si did have a major goal to achieve, and that was to completely tame Yao Jia so that he could contribute to Qin's unification of the world. Even Yao Jia himself may not fully understand Yao Jia's important value to the future state of Qin. Yesterday, Ying Zheng had already sung red faces.Today, it's Li Si's turn to sing a bad face. The banquet finally got to the point.Li Si made a toast to Yao Jia, and said with a smile, "To be honest, sir, when Li Si was young, he also intended to be a strategist. He was said to be a prince, powerful enough to add to the world, and with a three-inch tongue, he could be a million-strong army with a seven-foot body. , can help the world in need. If a man can achieve this, what a pity in this life! Seeing Mr. today, I know Mr.'s talent, and Li Si can't compete with him. Li Si can't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, he didn't stick to his original dream. Otherwise , there is a gentleman here, I am afraid that Your Highness in front of the palace of the princes, there will be no place for Li Si to stand again."

Yao Jia felt more and more uneasy when he was flattered by Li Si.If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.Sure enough, Li Si's words changed, and he said leisurely, "But..." Yao Jia's expression changed.Afterwards, however, there is usually nothing good to say. Li Si went on to say, "Li Si failed to become a political strategist as he wished, but became a court lieutenant in Qin State. He was wrongly loved by the king of Qin and appointed him on the basis of state affairs. I believe you have heard a famous saying in official circles: position determines position. Now, Li Si's body For Qin Chen, he devoted himself to planning and planning for Qin, and his views on political strategists have also changed greatly. My opinion of political strategists at this time may not be my favorite. In Li Si's view, for a country, political strategists are not enough For profit, but enough for disaster. Who are the political strategists? They envoy princes abroad, consume their country internally, and wait for their dangers, lest their master say, "If you don't make friends with me, you won't be close to each other, and if you don't blame me, you won't understand." Believe it, listen to it with the country, humble the name of the lord to show off his body, destroy the wealth of the country to benefit his family. Such a minister is the source of chaos and the harm of the country."

Yao Jia is also a strategist.When Li Si said this, he was clearly pointing at the monk and scolding the bald lady, and Yao Jia felt a little uncomfortable.Seeing that Yao Jia was angry, Li Si didn't try to appease him, and asked again, "May I ask, sir, who originated the art of vertical and horizontal?" Yao Jia was even more angry when Li Si asked him this question.Well you Li Si, you are too bully.Look at your question!Oh man, what look shall I give you? Normally, Yao Jia would not bother to answer such a simple question.But now, he had to answer.He knew that standing behind Li Si was Qin Wang Yingzheng.In other words, Li Si was not asking him this question, but King Qin Yingzheng was asking him.It wasn't until this moment that Yao Jia came to his senses.Ganqing's banquet today is an interview in disguise.It was inconvenient for Ying Zheng to say some things to him, so Li Si had to do it for him.His fate in Qin may depend on his performance at this banquet.

Yao Jia then replied angrily: "The art of vertical and horizontal was first advocated by Guiguzi. Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Pang Juan, and Sun Bin are all his disciples." After finishing speaking, he added an ironic tone unwillingly, "Yao Jia has little talent and learning, and I don't know if he answered correctly." Li Si laughed and said, "Mr. misunderstood, Li Si dare not question Mr.." After finishing speaking, his complexion immediately darkened, and he said in a cold voice unceremoniously: "However, Mister is wrong!"
