"It's the second son Li Zhan."

Li Si was secretly happy.

Your Majesty has noticed his second son!

Li Si's eldest son Li You is very outstanding. He served as the governor of Sanchuan County at a young age and even married a princess. However, the second son is very mediocre and can hardly get a job. At this moment, His Majesty is paying attention to him, and he may be noticed.

middle.

After saying that, he glared at Li Zhao angrily with a vicious look in his eyes, then smiled and said to Li Zhan: "I haven't kowtowed to your majesty yet."

"Li Zhankowt...kowtow to Your Majesty."

Li Zhan quickly stepped forward to kowtow, but when he saw Ying Zheng's majestic eyes, his legs shook and he couldn't even speak.

Li Zhao secretly cursed, "What are you staring at? You are the same as a poisonous woman. Aren't you just telling me to stay away so that I don't steal the limelight from your son? Stay away. If you don't want to admire the elegance of an emperor through the ages, I won't care."

So close."

"I don't care what your son is. He is usually so domineering and even treats his maids, but he peed when he saw Qin Shihuang. He is a coward. I don't care about such a person stealing his limelight."

Um!

After listening to Li Zhao's thoughts, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Zhan sideways, with disappointment on his face. He turned out to be such a person.

So, he just nodded and ignored it.

This was just a very casual action, but Li Si's heart sank. His Majesty's expression meant that he looked down on his second son, and he shouldn't! His second son performed very well.

This is how his eldest son was chosen.

"Your Majesty, my son Li Zhan is excellent at calligraphy and poetry. Can he also compose poetry?"

Li Si said to Ying Zheng without showing his face, trying to fight for another chance for Li Zhan, and then immediately ordered Li Zhan: "Why don't you compose a song on the spot for your majesty to listen to?"

Li Zhan later realized what he was doing and said quickly: "My thoughts are like the day when I come to the throne, and my heart is like when I am crossing the bridge."

Ying Zheng's eyebrows widened when he heard this, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He couldn't help but close his eyes and reflect, and said for a long time, "Not bad! Very good. Is this really a poem written by you?"

Although the poem is short, it is not a poem of the current dynasty, but Ying Zheng read the meaning in it. When you meet the king, you must think about it with your heart, and when you meet the bridge, you must be careful. Doesn't this mean that when you meet the king, you must be respectful?

He likes this poem.

If it was really Li Zhan's work, he wouldn't mind giving him an official position.

Li Si was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought that His Majesty's reaction was the same as when he met his eldest son. This time it was stable, it must be stable, maybe the second son would be made a county guard by His Majesty like the eldest son.

"Exactly...exactly." Li Zhan replied quickly, feeling extremely happy. He never thought that the poem he plagiarized to please his father could be so practical.

"Yeah!" Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he should be given a reward, so he said, "Li Xiang! A tiger father has no dog son! Such a poetic talent must be excellent in other aspects, so I will give him a reward...

..."

Suddenly, I heard that voice in my heart again.

"Shameless, it's not his fault. I obviously sang it when I was bored, but he plagiarized it."

Um!

Ying Zheng's words stopped abruptly and his face darkened. He glanced at Li Zhao specifically and saw an angry look on his face, which made him understand.

It turns out that such a good poem was not written by Li Zhan. How dare Li Zhan deceive the emperor?

However, Ying Zheng has no intention of punishing him, but he will not be appointed to another official position.

He waved his hands in disgust, "Okay, let him go down!"

What! Li Si was stagnant and couldn't react for a moment. Something was wrong. Wasn't His Majesty about to seal it just now? Why did he let Er'er go down?

He finally got this opportunity, isn't this going to be a shame?

"Your Majesty, this, this, my son..." Li Si was anxious and wanted to fight for it, but Ying Zheng stopped him, "Okay, don't say any more."

When he said this, he forcefully pushed back what Li Si was about to say, leaving him confused as to why His Majesty's attitude had changed like this.

Haha! Of course, I'm afraid Li Si won't be able to figure it out even if he thinks about it for the rest of his life.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si with disgust, pointed at Li Zhao behind Li Zhan, and asked: "Is the guy from behind your nephew?"

For a moment, Li Zhao paused.

"Damn it, Qin Shihuang noticed me. Did he hear that I have great talent? It's true that I am talented, but I'm not the son of an old beast! Why did he notice me?"

He was a little surprised and thought about it in his mind.

When Ying Zheng heard this, he smiled slightly and said to himself: What a good boy, I don't show off my great talent. Fortunately, I have a unique vision. In addition to writing and poetry, the great talent you mentioned must also have the ability to predict the future!

Not bad, very good.

I've got you.

"It is the old minister's nephew, his name is Li Zhao, but his talent is not enough, which makes His Majesty laugh." Li Si shook his head pretending to be indestructible.

He was a little bit resentful about how he let this boy come out to meet the driver. Didn't this steal his son's limelight? But he soon didn't take it to heart.

Li Zhao's performance is mediocre, and his talent is not half as good as his son's. Your Majesty doesn't even like his son, so how could he like him?

"Oh, is it so?"

To Li Si's surprise, Ying Zheng showed strong curiosity, "He must be the son of that wealthy businessman! I can create such a foundation, so my son must be no less good."

What! What do you mean?

Li Si's face changed.

Your Majesty, are you praising Li Zhao by saying this? This is the rhythm of being favored. Damn it, how could it be? My son is not favored, how can he be favored?

Moreover, the Qin Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed merchants, and Li Nian was a wealthy merchant. As an emperor, he should not be interested in the son of a wealthy merchant!

"Come on, come on, let me see you. Your father has donated a lot of money to our court!" Ying Zheng ignored Li Si and changed his seriousness before saying with a smile, his eyes were unusually soft.

How could it be? Li Si was startled again and extremely puzzled. His Majesty's eyes were very soft. What kind of magic power did Li Zhao have that attracted His Majesty?

The more Li Si thought about it, the more something was wrong. According to performance, Li Zhao's performance today was very average, without any advantages.

But why does Your Majesty have such an expression?

"Me?" Li Zhao couldn't believe it, pointed at himself, and said to himself: "No way! The emperor of all ages actually called me over. Isn't this a dream?"

This kid!

Ying Zheng smiled and really wanted to say: You are not dreaming, your talent caught my attention.

"Your Majesty, I have the guts to ask for this boy to be spared. Since his father's death, I have pampered him so much that he is not very good at talking. I'm afraid it will disturb Your Majesty's interest in selecting talents."

Li Si really couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want Li Zhao to be noticed, so he quickly stepped forward to ridicule him.

"Old beast, old beast..." After hearing this, Li Zhao scolded Li Si thousands of times in his heart.

Dote on him? Bullshit, when has he ever pampered himself? Seizing his family's property, driving away his mother, and treating him like a dog, is this called pampering?

oh!

Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile after hearing this, secretly thinking how much the boy hated Li Si, he must have been abused at home!

"Really? I don't necessarily think he is favored, but he has a lot of resentment." Ying Zheng said unhurriedly, with sharp eyes.

this......

Li Si hesitated and secretly asked how his majesty knew? He often abused Li Zhao, but never made it public! He was sure that the court officials didn't know, and your majesty should not know, but...

Li Si was confused. He didn't know how to answer the question, and he didn't dare to look at Ying Zheng.

"Come here quickly, it's you." Ying Zheng left Li Si and waved to Li Zhao.

Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, but he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he stepped forward without appearing panicked at all.

"Li Zhao pays homage to Your Majesty!" He knelt down like Li Zhan.

"No need to be polite!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, very satisfied with Li Zhao's performance.

If you are not timid when meeting you, you are a man you can build.

Of course, as a man of two generations, Li Zhao still has this courage.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng became serious and said loudly: "Li Zhao will accept the title. Seeing your talents, I will make you the eldest son's scholar! Accompany the eldest son to study."

What! What's going on?

Li Si felt panicked when he heard this.

Your Majesty has really taken a fancy to this man, who is still a book boy. Although he is just a book boy and has no title or official position, he is still the person next to the eldest young master!

The eldest son has been specially trained by His Majesty. If nothing goes wrong, he will be equivalent to the prince. The future emperor and the scholar will be like Xiangmomo.

How is that possible? How could he be the one who was banned, not his son?

Li Si gave Li Zhao a hard look in his heart.

Also, how talented is this guy? Why can’t he tell that he is not even half as good as his second son? Moreover, this guy has never shown any talent in front of His Majesty, so why was he banned?

Li Si went crazy.

Li Zhao was stunned in his heart, feeling very surprised that he was banned like this? How did Qin Shihuang know that he was a great talent? Did he know him before? It shouldn't be! He had never met Qin Shihuang.

Just when I was about to ask a question, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
