Chapter 244 Please give me some advice (ask for monthly ticket)
Han Fei hesitated to speak, glanced at the uneasy person opposite him, sighed in his heart, and sat down beside Queen Dowager Zhao as ordered.
Zhao Yuanxi said slowly, "Are you all from the Korean royal family?"
"Yes, we are the nephews of Han Taifu. We are unfamiliar with Xianyang and have come to ask Han Taifu for help."
Now he can speak human language. Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of teasing.
"So you guys also know that you're the younger generation. Looking at your attitude just now, I thought you were Han Taifu's father!"
The man's face turned pale. "Please forgive us, Queen Mother! We meant no disrespect! We were just anxious for a moment!"
Zhao Yuanxi snorted coldly, "Why are you begging me for anything? You should be apologizing to Master Han instead!"
What she hated most were those who bullied the good and feared the evil, and those who used the name of relatives, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, but wanted to take advantage of others, which made her extremely disgusted.
"Uncle San, Uncle San, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Uncle, please forgive my nephews for their youth and ignorance!"
…
"It's so noisy!" Zhao Yuanxi interrupted their noisy crying.
This scolding frightened them so much that they dared not say another word.
Everyone couldn't help but feel that the Queen Mother was even more moody than the King of Qin. It was she who asked them to apologize to Han Fei, and it was she who disliked their noise.
We can’t just let them kowtow here!
"Who said he should forgive you just because you apologize? Apologizing is what you should do, but it's up to him to decide whether to forgive or not."
Moral kidnapping, regardless of whether they deserve it or not.
Han Fei was stunned for a moment, swallowing back the words he wanted to plead for them. However, he still couldn't bear to punish these people. "Go back and admit your punishment to your father."
"Thank you, Uncle San."
"Thank you, Uncle San!"
Zhao Yuanxi tutted his words and tapped his fingers on the table, clearly dissatisfied with Han Fei's handling of the situation. "Although Han Taifu is a great Legalist, he also mixes personal emotions into his actions. Li Si was right. You're still overthinking things."
In terms of kinship, they were the younger generation and should be punished for offending their elders; in terms of rules, they were commoners and should be whipped twenty times for disrespecting the current Taifu.
Now let them go to their father to be punished. Doesn’t Han Fei know that they dared to gather in the Taifu Mansion because they were instructed by their fathers?
Han Fei's face looked grim.
Zhao Yuanxi still couldn't bear to blame him. Besides, if Han Fei didn't have any weaknesses, it would be troublesome for her!
"Master Han doesn't have the heart to scold you, and I can't say anything more. Don't you want to help with the work? I have a lot of things to do here, why don't you come and work for me."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether they should agree or not.
"You have no right to refuse, otherwise I will have the king imprison you. There is no other way. Only prisoners will not come here to disturb Master Han's recuperation."
Han Fei: "What do you want them to do?"
"Don't worry, Master. I don't have a hobby of torturing people. I just want them to do some odd jobs, or do you disagree with this?" Zhao Yuanxi threw the question back to him.
This group of Korean nobles who were supported by others had never done any work since they were born. They were lazy and didn't know the difference between grains. If it weren't for Han Fei's face, Zhao Yuanxi really wouldn't care about these playboys hanging around her.
"I dare not, but I am afraid they will disappoint the Queen Mother."
Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand. "Learning to read is enough. It's not a big deal! I've just opened a new bookstore in Xianyang, and it's currently being managed by the Prime Minister. The King recently implemented a new official selection system, and Imperial Tutor Han should be very familiar with it."
"There are many private schools opening in Xianyang City now, and they need a lot of books. Ling Yin has taken on the job of custom-making books, and he needs to hire some people to print them. It's not a difficult task."
Apart from the fact that the ink was a bit dirty, the soybean-sized blocks of text were a bit tiring for the eyes, and the piles of books were a bit heavy, the work was not that hard.
Zhao Yuanxi sneered in his heart. If they don't work, do they really have to support these people and just eat for free?
Han Fei saw that Queen Mother Zhao was deliberately trying to teach them a lesson, but it would not be a bad thing for them if they could find a way to make a living in Xianyang City.
Although their father's title was still retained, they had nothing when it came to their turn. The King of Qin was able to let them go now just to set an example for the six countries, telling the world that those who obey him will prosper, while those who go against him will perish.
The group of young people were still confused as they listened to the conversation between the Queen Mother and Han Fei, but they also understood that they could not go against the wishes of the Queen Mother of Qin.
Everyone was feeling very nervous and couldn't help but regret why they came here today. Not only did they not get any benefits, but they also got themselves involved.
"You, send someone to take them over, and then inform their parents. Tell them that I have arranged work for their children, so they don't have to worry."
Those people were about to leave with their entourage of attendants.
Zhao Yuanxi warned, coldly, "Don't cause trouble in my territory, or I can't guarantee your personal safety."
After everyone left, Zhao Yuanxi regained his composure and asked with a smile, "Does Grand Tutor Han have any objections?"
"Your Majesty, I should thank you for accepting them!"
Zhao Yuanxi raised an eyebrow. "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I might torture the descendants of your Korean royal family?"
"Can you?"
Zhao Yuanxi laughed heartily. "Master Han has never seen me being strict. I am also merciless to those disobedient children."
"That's their punishment." Han Fei was helpless. If there was someone who could make Queen Dowager Zhao unable to restrain herself, then he really needed to teach him a lesson.
Han Fei's trust made Zhao Yuanxi feel guilty. She also had her own selfish motives and was not planning to educate the children of the Korean royal family.
Zhao Yuanxi changed the subject and asked curiously, "Why didn't Master Han come to the palace for the banquet today?"
If he had entered the palace, these rude guys would not have had the chance to surround him.
"minister……"
"Do you feel that you have failed the King of Han?"
Han Fei remained silent, his face only turning slightly pale.
"How about going out for a walk with me?" Zhao Yuanxi invited with a smile. Staying in the house all day would make him depressed even if he wasn't already.
Xianyang City was particularly lively today. Many Han people entered Qin, and people from the surrounding areas came out to watch.
Zhao Yuanxi and Han Fei stood on the city wall, chatting casually. "I've read the Taifu's book. It says that human nature is selfish and that laws should be used to restrain human evil. It also emphasizes that the monarch should have absolute power. Your Majesty likes your theory very much, but I think Taifu is not entirely right."
Han Fei bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, Queen Mother."
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "I don't deserve your guidance. I only know the basics. It's my honor to discuss this with you today."
