"What? Is my elder sister really so unreasonable and unruly?"
Hu Hai slapped the table in surprise, clearly taken aback.
He had just thought it was Li Lin's excuse.
After all, Manyin was his older sister, and he knew her personality somewhat. She had a bit of a temper, but she was a kind person and not the type to be jealous of others.
"Young master, waaaaah! That princess was so rude to me in front of so many people! If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Luo!"
"Luo Ping, what exactly happened?"
"Young master, the matter is as follows..."
Upon seeing this, Luo Ping hurriedly recounted what had just happened, which greatly surprised Hu Hai.
"That's strange. Could it be that my elder sister's personality changed drastically after she got engaged? How could she become such a jealous woman? There must be something fishy going on. You wait outside the Prime Minister's residence today, until Li Lin returns from his work. Stop him and ask him what he really means! Although I'm not very smart, I'm not someone who can be easily fooled!"
"promise!"
Luo Ping felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Others might not know what kind of personality his son had, but he did.
As Hu Hai's steward, he had been following Hu Hai ever since Hu Hai moved out of the palace at the age of twelve. He had been following Hu Hai for five years, a full five years.
In this mansion, no one understands the young master's taboos better than him.
He was overjoyed to find that he hadn't been punished today. He immediately cupped his hands in greeting and hurriedly ran to wait outside the Prime Minister's residence.
"Young master, what do you think Prime Minister Li's intentions are?"
"The Grand Tutor is an exceptionally intelligent man, far beyond what ordinary people can deduce. I suspect that this is a strategy of retreating to advance, his aim being to politely refuse my good intentions."
"Ah? Young master, didn't Prime Minister Li just swear allegiance to you?"
"Hahaha, you really are just a pretty face with no substance. Can't you use your brain? If you were in the Grand Tutor's situation back then, what would you choose? We shouldn't listen to what he says, we should listen to what he does, understand?"
Hu Hai couldn't help but burst into laughter.
At this time, he was not as dull-witted as rumored; on the contrary, he was very shrewd.
That makes sense when you think about it.
A person who can sit on the throne is definitely not too stupid, unless it is a special case like Sima Zhong.
It took Zhao Gao more than a year to sideline him. If he were truly a fool, why would Zhao Gao have taken more than a year? Wouldn't he have easily killed him long ago?
In the Prime Minister's residence, Li Lin chuckled at Man Yin, who was blushing so deeply she wanted to disappear into the ground.
He then took Zhang Liang with him and headed towards the Court of Justice.
"Master Prime Minister!"
"Welcome, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"
"Gentlemen, you're too kind. Please rise. I've come to the Court of Justice today to establish the Great Qin State Bank by drawing some key personnel from the Court of Justice. If any of you are willing to switch to the State Bank, please let me know in advance. Otherwise, once I've made the personnel arrangements, there will be no turning back!"
"Huh? The Qin Dynasty has money shops?"
"What is a money shop? Is it a shop that holds money?"
"Could it be a lucrative post similar to the one in the Qin Dynasty's treasury?"
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves, as they had never heard of the term "money shop" before.
Even though Li Lin publicly stated in court that he wanted to build a money exchange, more than half a year has passed, and everyone has almost forgotten about it.
"Gentlemen, please be quiet. The Qin State has a bank that is the second national treasury. I already reported this to His Majesty at the morning court session half a year ago. Didn't some of you attend the morning court session? How come you have no recollection of it?"
"this......"
"I really don't remember it!"
"Your Excellency, why don't you retell it again..."
Li Lin rolled his eyes. Good heavens, it seems his plan to set up the Great Qin State Bank today will have to be postponed.
These people have completely forgotten about this.
It seems they didn't take his grand plan seriously back then.
"Li Lin, you bastard, didn't you say you wanted to dismiss me from my post? Today, my nephew is right here. Let's see how you manage to dismiss me!"
"Oh, who was this supposed to be! It's you, Wu Jun!"
He smiled disdainfully, then looked at Wang Li beside him.
Wow!
These two guys are from different generations, but their ages are very close.
Wang Li looked only three or four years younger than him.
"Your Excellency, I have no ill intentions in coming here. Lord Wu is a relative of mine and a longtime friend of my father. I beg Your Excellency to forgive Lord Wu for the sake of my father and me!"
Wang Li spoke politely; he wouldn't look down on Li Lin, who hadn't yet come of age, just because he was older.
To be honest, Li Lin should win a championship this year.
The reason for his delayed coming-of-age ceremony is that his family removed him from the family genealogy. He may be able to receive the ceremony next year, when he turns 21.
"General Wang's words are quite pleasing to me. Although General Wang mocked me before, I do not hold a grudge against him. My elder brother's pacification of Chu was indeed quite comical. General Wang's criticism in the court that day was correct!"
"Li Xiang..."
Wang Li was speechless. He had openly confronted Li Lin in front of so many people in the past.
