"Hahaha......"
Upon hearing this, Li Si couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Wei Liao and the others were also completely baffled.
I simply cannot understand why Li Si would praise Li Lin to such an extent. Even if Li Lin is a talented person, he shouldn't be described as incomparable by Li Si.
"Li Si, what are you laughing at? I think Wang Ben is right. Even if Li Lin does have some talent that His Majesty has taken a liking to, his starting point is far too low. Even if he marries a princess, it will take him at least twenty years to become a general and a marquis. By then, whether you and I are still alive or not will be insignificant. So, as I say, you, Li Si, are overthinking it!"
Wei Liao, who is usually quite wise, said something completely different from Li Si.
Even though he had accepted the fact that Li Lin was a talented person, he still refused to believe that Li Lin could become the kind of big shot who could threaten their interests and stir up a storm in a short period of time.
"Mr. Wei Liao, General Wang, and all of you gentlemen, I never speak without certainty. If you do not believe me, then please forgive my rudeness. Chen Ke, see the guests out!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
As the steward of the Prime Minister's residence, Chen Ke was naturally a shrewd and perceptive person, adept at reading people's expressions. He immediately greeted each of the gentlemen with a smile and saw them off from the residence.
Only Princess Shen, Ying Shu, remained.
"What? Princess Shen, shouldn't you be going with them too?"
"No, I'm not like them. Some of them have been famous for many years and have long forgotten what they were like when they were unknown. So they can't see, and won't easily believe, that there are such extraordinary juniors who are even more powerful than they were when they were young."
"Princess Shen, do you also think there's some truth to what I just said?"
"Yes, that's what I think too. In his more than thirty years on the throne, my brother has never once misjudged a talented person. The reason he values Li Lin so highly must be because he has extraordinary abilities!"
"Oh? Then what level does Princess Shen consider his talent to be?"
"Haha, this princess is just a weak woman, how could I possibly have the ability to make such a judgment? However, judging from how much my royal brother values this person, I think he is no less than Yi Yin, who assisted Shang Tang in his five hundred years of prosperity, or Jiang Shang, who assisted King Wen in establishing the Zhou Dynasty for eight hundred years!"
"hiss......"
Upon hearing this, Li Si gasped in shock.
This is what Ying Shu said to him in private.
If it were when everyone was here just now...
They're probably going to be criticized mercilessly!
If the Prime Minister of Qin has such high opinion, then Li Lin is already outrageous enough. I never thought that someone would use such high praise to evaluate Li Lin, who has not yet made any achievements!
It's absolutely incredible.
"Does Your Excellency the Prime Minister believe that I, like you just now, am speaking carelessly?"
"No!"
Li Si shook his head; he had no such intention, he was merely surprised.
After all, the one favored by the First Emperor was a mediocre talent.
Whether it was Li Xin, who tricked the Qin Dynasty, or Wang Ben, Wang Jian, Meng Yi, Meng Tian, Zhao Tuo, and so on, they were all renowned talents. Which one of them didn't have the talent to assist a king? Or were they resourceful and wise?
Therefore, neither emotionally nor rationally could Li Si accept the reality that Li Lin was a mediocre person.
That's why we keep reminding everyone to pay attention and be mindful.
If they realize that Li Lin, who will grow stronger in the future, poses a threat to them, they can react quickly and nip it in the bud.
pity.
This group of people lacks this awareness; their achievements over the years have made them proud and complacent, and they may have begun to look down on others.
"Your Excellency is wise. Li Lin is definitely not to be underestimated. I urge Your Excellency to establish good relations with him as soon as possible, otherwise the day he rises to power will be the day he is utterly destroyed."
"Thank you for the reminder, Princess Shen. I will certainly pay attention!"
"In that case, I shall take my leave!"
"Um!"
Li Si rose and smiled as he personally escorted Princess Shen, Ying Shu, out of the Prime Minister's residence, waiting until she boarded her carriage.
His expression stiffened.
The smile from before vanished, replaced by an angry expression.
He was helpless against those who questioned his judgment. Now, he had to sever ties with these arrogant people, or they would fall into the abyss.
It will also drag him into an abyss of no return.
"Arrogance, oh arrogance! It is not terrible for a person to be arrogant, but when a person becomes so arrogant that he is prejudiced against others, then he is destined to encounter some misfortune in the not-too-distant future, until his life is exhausted."
Li Si smiled sadly, having already made up his mind, and resolutely strode back into the mansion.
Outside Xianyang City at this time.
The sound of galloping horses rang out.
And the sound of the carriage wheels turning.
"Are we arriving in Xianyang so soon?"
Li Lin, who had been jostled around in the carriage all night, was far from sleepy.
I want to sleep, but I can't.
The coachman was practically reckless, driving the dilapidated carriage like a warhorse at an incredible speed, so fast that Li Lin almost got carsick and vomited.
In one night, the carriage traveled more than 100 miles. Just imagine how fast that speed must have been.
"Lord Li, I'm sorry to trouble you. Xianyang City is just ahead. Our leader is negotiating with the guards at the city gate to get them to open it. Lord Li, please don't be impatient. I will personally escort you to the palace to freshen up and have a meal before taking you to see His Majesty!"
