Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 34

"Nonsense!" Li Si moved his footsteps as if righteously destroying relatives, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Li Zhao is full of lies. I understand that Xiao He is Naipei County's chief official. He has outstanding talents and learning. He is a great talent with a radius of hundreds of miles."

"And Li Zhaochen is too clear, he is an ignorant fellow, how can he be qualified to support Xiao He? It is clearly an excuse."

Hearing this, Li Zhao secretly despised Li Si several times in his heart. He is ignorant?But it is a hundred times stronger than Li Zhan!

"Xiao He, you are the person involved, tell the truth."

Ying Zheng suppressed his anger and let Xiao He speak.In fact, what Li Zhao and Li Si said is not enough to be evidence, Xiao He is the victim and has the most right to speak.

Xiao He also figured out what was going on, but he didn't dare to speak without permission.

At this moment, he sneaked a glance at Ying Zheng, knelt down and saluted again, "Yes, Your Majesty!" Then he paused, as if he was organizing his words, but showed a hint of anger imperceptibly.

This angry look was noticed by Li Si, and he was secretly happy.Li Si had told him that Xiao He, who was abused by Li Zhao, was very angry. If he expressed his anger, then Li Zhao would die.
snort!For a moment, a kind of revenge pleasure came to mind.

Li Zhao deserved to die, his wife was exiled, he could remarry, but when Li Zhao sneered in front of the officials, he felt like a thorn in his heart, very uncomfortable.

"Xiao He, this is the imperial court, there is no need to be afraid of anyone, tell the truth." He emboldened Xiao He.

Ying Zheng also nodded to him, and wanted to say something encouraging, but he heard Li Zhao's heartfelt voice.

"Old bastard, you really have a lingering soul! My Chang'an home has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to be afraid of anyone? Isn't this about me? I am a dignified gentleman, why would I threaten others? He must have sent someone to watch Me, tell the truth, this is revenge."

Li Zhao really hated Li Si.

In fact, it's not because of his random thinking, Xiao He is the housekeeper's nephew, and they get along well these days, he already regards Xiao He as his own family.

Um!Ying Zheng listened to it and thought to himself: Family matters?How did Xiao He become his family?Also sent someone to monitor and retaliate?

It is not uncommon to send people to monitor in Daqin, but if there are people on both sides who have deep enemies to send people to monitor, the element of revenge will be obvious.

Xiao He is not afraid, but what should I say?If it was a few days ago, he would have spoken out boldly and denounced Li Zhao, but for some reason, after reading political economy, he had a much different impression of the young master.

"Yes!" Xiao He said slowly, "Actually, the young master didn't force him to stay with Cao Min."

what?
Before Xiao He finished speaking, Li Si's reaction was particularly strong, and he couldn't react.

What did this son say, shouldn't he tell the truth about Li Zhao?How do you say that you didn't force yourself to stay?
Also, Li Zhao abused him and called him 'Master'?
He cannot accept it.

He thought that Xiao He was still afraid of Li Zhao, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he repeatedly emphasized, naming names and saying: "Xiao He, tell the truth, if Li Zhao dares to target you, I will protect you."

This is very straightforward, but Xiao He waved his hand, still saying: "The young master did not target me, nor did he force me to stay."

"Impossible, obviously Li Si said." Li Si couldn't calm down, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized his mistake, and quickly changed his words, "You are talking nonsense, nonsense!"

Li Zhao was also very surprised and couldn't help but look at Xiao He more.He was defending himself?Unexpected!It seems that this child is enlightened.

Ying Zheng's ears were so sharp that he immediately recognized that Li Si was tricky, and his face frowned slightly.

He really sent someone to monitor Li Zhao!Secretly said: This dog is very hateful, actually doing such a nasty thing.

But he thought again and again: Even if Li Zhao didn't force Xiao He to stay, but destroyed his classics and forced him to go to the fields to catch insects, it would be an unforgivable crime.

But as soon as he had an idea, Xiao He spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are not talking nonsense, the young master did not force them to stay, but the grass people voluntarily stayed."

Indeed, this is what he said against his will, but the young master gave him such a precious classic of "Political Economics", this kind of love, you can't eat the noodles instead of the bottom of the bowl.

"Oh!" Ying Zheng's anger slowed down a bit, and he became interested, and asked, "Why?"

Students who are well-known in Pei County should stay in Xianyang to study privately when they are taking the imperial examination?But he chose to stay in Chang'an Township. What's good there, it's just a place to farm.

"Return to Your Majesty, the grass people stay here to study."

Stay for study?Ying Zheng felt that he had heard the funniest joke, what to learn in a farming land?What's more, are there any talented people in Confucianism and law?
Absolutely not.

But this statement made sense, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not so angry with Li Zhao. It was his right to stay and study, and this did not constitute abuse!It seems that Li Si is really framing and retaliating!

For a moment, he gave Li Si a fierce look.

Li Si was startled, and quickly knelt down, but questioned Xiao He, "Zhuzi lied, you are helping the evildoers, Chang'an Township is a land of farming, how can you learn?"

It has to be said that in order to stumble Li Zhao, he could say anything.

Xiao He didn't panic, and responded methodically: "No, what I learned in Chang'an Township is something ordinary people can't learn."

Ordinary people can't learn?
It is rare for a student who is famous in Pei County to say such a thing!Ying Zheng became more interested. He seemed to have forgotten that Li Zhao was responsible for this trip, so he asked, "Who did you learn from? How much have you learned?"

Xiao He didn't change his face, and responded slowly, "Return to Your Majesty, Caomin learned from the young master."

Indeed, he learned from Li Zhao, after all, the ancient book was written by the young master.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the reprimand of the officials.

Someone said angrily, "Children can't be taught. As a dignified student, learning from peasants is simply a shame for scholars."

"What qualifications does Li Zhao have to be your teacher?"

"Ridiculous and utterly stupid."

Criticisms kept coming and going, one wave after another, if spittle could drown people, it would have already drowned Xiao He.

Indeed, in the eyes of these dignitaries, Li Zhao just relied on His Majesty's pampering and was named a young lady without any real achievements.

Xiao He ignored it and continued, "What I have studied is political economy."

The officials were even more angry when they heard that the imperial examination was coming soon, and the students were either studying Confucian classics, or the classics of Shang Yang and Han Fei, whoever studied political economy.

Also, what is political economy, I have never heard of it, can it govern the country?It is clearly a miscellaneous book.

This son even read miscellaneous books when he was about to take the exam, insulting the style of the saint.

Originally, everyone was unanimous in hating Li Zhao, but after a while, they all reprimanded Xiao Helai.

Ying Zheng didn't get caught up in the rhythm, but chewed on these five words, political economy?Another new word, it must come from Almighty!

When did Chang'an Township become so powerful?Could it be
Can't help asking: "Who came out of this classic book?"

Seeing that His Majesty didn't intend to blame, Xiao He was overjoyed and said truthfully: "It's from the young master."
