Chapter 77 The Qin State is Very Big (asking for monthly ticket)
Zhao Yuanxi's eyelids twitched. There were so many books here, but he chose the one written by Ling Yin.
Ling Yin wrote a short essay every day. Zhao Yuanxi found some of the essays interesting, so he compiled them into a collection.
Although there is not much of a market for fan fiction in this world, what the nobles have the most is time and money, as well as the gossipy heart that everyone has.
Although this book is expensive, many people buy it.
Zhao Yuanxi also made a small profit from this book, at least he earned back the money he spent on pens, ink, paper and inkstones for those people in Canglang Pavilion.
"I'm just having fun with this. If you like, you can take one home."
Zhang Liang's face was filled with surprise. "How could the Queen Mother read such a thing?"
"Why can't I read it! Just because you don't like to read it doesn't mean others don't like to read it!" Zhao Yuanxi didn't feel ashamed at all. Not only did she read it, but she also asked someone to write it.
If you don't agree, then let Ling Yin write about him next time! With Liu Hou's popularity, it is not impossible for Ling Yin to leave his name in the history books.
Zhang Liang had never met anyone who acted so rudely before. He gritted his teeth and said, "This is all made up by others!"
"I know! This was written by Ling Yin."
Zhang Liang remembered the name Ling Yin, and the man who always acted like a romantic nobleman appeared in his mind. The corners of his mouth twitched. Is this what it means to not judge a book by its cover?
"He, didn't you really force him to write this?"
How is this like treating herself as a big devil? Is she the kind of person who likes to force others?
Yes, even if it is the case, the other person must be willing, so she can force him to succeed!
Zhao Yuanxi absolutely refused to admit that she was the culprit. It was obvious that the things were written by Ling Yin, so how could the blame be put on her?
"Of course not, he volunteered, and he even got paid!"
Zhang Liang's face was full of disbelief. He calmed himself down and stopped arguing with the Queen Mother. He sat in a corner and looked through other books.
Zhao Yuanxi has a rich collection of books here, including most of the classics of various schools of thought, in addition there are some agricultural guide books she wrote herself.
The style of her writing is very distinctive, and the words she uses are the most simple and straightforward. Anyone who can read will be able to grasp the farming methods after reading this book. The most special thing is that the book is also accompanied by illustrations.
It was the first time that Zhang Liang had seen a book with illustrations. Although the graphics were simple and the brushstrokes were very rough, it was enough to shock him.
He found all of Queen Mother Zhao's books and read them one by one.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly came. Zhang Liang felt that it sounded familiar. He put down the book in his hand and looked towards the center of the hall. He saw the middle-aged man who took his teacher away that day suddenly appeared in the Liyang Palace.
"Why is Li Qing here?" Zhao Yuanxi smiled and put down the notebook in his hand.
There haven't been any cases here recently. Why did Li Si come to her for no reason?
Li Si didn't notice there was another person in the corner, and shouted, "I am delivering the New Year's gift to the Queen Mother on behalf of the King."
Chinese New Year is coming?!
The Qin State adopted the Zhuanxu calendar, which took the tenth month of the lunar calendar as the beginning of the year. It is now the end of September, so isn’t it time for the Chinese New Year?
Unlike the Spring Festival in later generations, during the Qin Dynasty, the king had to accept congratulations from all officials and offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors, while the people mainly offered sacrifices to the god of agriculture and celebrated the harvest.
This is also Zhao Yuanxi's first year in this world.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Li! I wonder how you are doing these days?"
Zhao Yuanxi felt that he might not be living a good life, otherwise why would a court judge come to give gifts to a distant empress dowager? Isn't this the job of the eunuch chief?
Li Si had indeed not been having a good time recently, not because of the King of Qin, but because he learned from Master Wei's letter that the Queen Mother of Zhao had asked Han Fei to write new laws.
He may not understand others, but his senior brother does have this ability. Even if the Queen Mother's requirements are harsh, it is not impossible for him to complete it.
If the Queen Mother was really exiled by the King, he might have pretended not to care, but that was not the case!
The king clearly had people keeping an eye on the queen mother's movements, and the fact that the queen mother asked Han Fei to write new laws had aroused his interest.
Li Si could tolerate Han Fei to continue living, but he could not accept Han Fei appearing in front of the King of Qin again.
"Thanks to the Queen Mother, I am living a good life."
Zhao Yuanxi suspected that he was plotting against her, but she had no evidence.
"I heard that my senior brother is now with you. I wonder how he has been doing recently?"
…
He was indeed playing tricks on himself. Zhao Yuanxi had heard about the love-hate relationship between Han Fei and Li Si.
If she had not appeared, Han Fei would have been forced to commit suicide by drinking poison.
One was the favorite of the King of Qin, and the other was her own great talent. Zhao Yuanxi didn't want to offend either of them. She held her forehead and said, "Li Tingwei, Han Fei is very good to me. Like me, he will never return to Xianyang!"
The murderous intent in Li Si's eyes did not subside. Whether Han Fei could return to Xianyang was not something that the Queen Mother could decide, nor was it something that he could decide himself.
"Your Majesty, would you allow me to see him?"
"In theory, this request is not excessive, but I can't agree to it!"
Li Si's obsession was too deep. Zhao Yuanxi was worried that he would either kill Han Fei himself or force him to death. Either way, Zhao Yuanxi could not accept it.
Li Si was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect the Queen Mother to reject him so directly.
Zhao Yuanxi sighed slightly, walked up to Li Si, and whispered, "Li Qing's murderous intent is too strong. I know Li Qing's thoughts and I understand your thoughts, but if Han Fei is gone, there will still be Han Bufei. Will Li Qing be like today when that happens?"
"Li Qing only sees Han Fei's excellence, but forgets that he is also a shining pearl of Qin. Qin is a huge country, and it will be even bigger in the future. It can accommodate countless great talents to shine here."
"I also believe that Li Qing will be the most dazzling among these talents. Zheng'er must think so too."
Li Si was speechless. He was afraid of having his inner thoughts exposed, but he also felt a little happy.
He never dared to admit that he was jealous of Han Fei, so jealous of him that he wished he were dead.
But is Han Fei really that formidable? No, Li Si doesn't think he will lose to him!
Li Si lowered his head and agreed with what the Queen Mother said. The State of Qin was very large and could accommodate many people. It was impossible for him to kill them all. Leaving Han Fei behind was perhaps leaving himself a way out.
"I have been reckless. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he seemed to have figured things out. If Li Si was determined to get rid of Han Fei, she would be in a lot of trouble.
Li Si came here on the pretext of delivering New Year gifts, and now that the gifts have been delivered, it's time for him to go back.
After he left, Zhang Liang, who had been hiding behind and eavesdropping, came out.
He couldn't hide his anger on his face, "This person actually wanted to kill someone for his own selfish desires!"
