Chapter 9 The Imperial Jade Seal (Part 2)

Li Si was just a minor official in the State of Chu. He knew that in the State of Chu, which was controlled by aristocratic families, there was no place for him to use his skills, so he had to leave his hometown and come to Qin. Although he was admired by Qin Yiren and valued by Qin, he was still very young after all, and he was a young man, and there were many people who were better than him.

He never expected that the inscription on the imperial seal would fall on him. At this time, Li Si looked shocked and felt a buzzing sound in his mind, as if thousands of gongs were ringing together.

Nothing else, it was just because he was too shocked.

How important is the imperial seal? He would never have imagined that it is no worse than the Nine Cauldrons. If he wrote inscriptions on it, he would be famous and preserved in history. If this is the case, what regret is there?

"Haha." King Zhao of Qin saw Li Si's surprise, both for appreciation and enjoyment.

What I appreciate is that with a rising star like Li Si, Qin State has successors. What I enjoy is that as a monarch, isn’t it just controlling the life, death, honor and disgrace of others? It is the success of the emperor that Li Si feels so honored.

"Haha!" Xunzi was Li Si's teacher. Li Si was selected to write the imperial seal. Xunzi was honored and very pleased.

Gongsun Longzi saw Xunzi's gratitude and was very envious. Why didn't he accept such a great student as Li Si in his life?

"Heshi Bi, come!" King Zhao of Qin smiled and passed the order.

The national weapon was the most important token of his proclaiming emperor and the last hurdle for him to proclaim himself. Now, everything is ready and only carving is needed. As long as the carving is successful, he can proclaim himself emperor and achieve the supreme "emperor's career".

An eunuch immediately held a gold-painted box and presented it to King Zhao of Qin.

King Zhao of Qin took it in his hand, first fumbled on the gold-painted box, and then opened it, and a soft jade light appeared, giving people a sense of comfort in life.

The Heshi Bi is famous all over the world and is famous throughout the ages. Qin Yiren is well-known, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. At this time, he is about to see the Heshi Bi, and he is quickly widening his eyes, afraid of missing a detail.

There are many people with the mentality of Qin Yiren, namely Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Le Yi, Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi, Huangshi Gong, Han Fei, Li Si and Cai Ze, who only heard of the Heshi Bi, but had never seen the Heshi Bi. They all stared at it with their eyes wide open and stared at it.

King Zhao of Qin carefully took out a piece of beautiful jade from the box. As soon as the beautiful jade came out, Qin Yiren felt a lit up in his eyes. An indescribable beauty came, making him feel comfortable all over.

"Heshi Bi is worthy of being Heshi Bi!" Qin Yi sighed deeply.

Just looking at it makes people feel comfortable. What a great jade this is. In the Warring States Period, Qin Yiren had seen so many beautiful jades, and no piece of them could have such a effect and give people such a feeling of enjoyment.

"What a jade!"

"Bian He is a true god!"

Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Le Yi and the others saw it, felt comfortable all over and praised loudly.

The Heshi Bi was discovered by Bian He, a famous jade worker in the Chu State. He believed that there was a beautiful jade in the stone. However, no one believed in him. Not only did he not believe in him, he also suffered unrestrained disasters and was tortured. Later, after going through twists and turns, he finally got the jade in the stone and found the Heshi Bi.

"At that time, I tried my best to do this jade, but I did not succeed in Lin Qing. Now, the Heshi Bi is finally from the Qin Dynasty!" King Zhao of Qin stroked the Heshi Bi with his dry hands, as if he was stroking his lover's smooth skin, with an intoxicated look on his face.

He was talking about the matter of "returning the jade to Zhao intact". If it weren't for Lin Xiangru, the Heshi Bi would have long become a thing of Qin. Now, holding the Heshi Bi, the scene of fighting wits and courage with Lin Xiangru came to my mind, and King Zhao of Qin was very moved.

After looking at Lin Xiangru standing beside him, King Zhao of Qin was relieved again.

It was precisely because the two of them fought wits and courage that they suffered from Lin Xiangru that they hated Lin Xiangru and hated him. Now, Lin Xiangru, the person he hated, has become an important minister of Qin, and he is indescribable to express gratitude.

"It is not only Bian He who caused trouble to Heshi Bi, but also Zhang Yi." King Zhao of Qin stroked the Heshi Bi, and was even more moved.

The first person to suffer from Heshi Bi is the famous jade worker Bian He, followed by Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi was almost beaten to death because of Heshi Bi.

This matter starts with Zhang Yixue Cheng down the mountain. Zhang Yi and Su Qin were both students of the famous hermit Guiguzi. They were close friends and learned the way of being erected. After they learned to go down the mountain, they talked about great ambitions. Su Qin's first choice was Qin State, and he wanted to enter Qin to serve as an official. Zhang Yi had no intention of Qin at that time, so he wanted to serve as an official in Shandong.

After Zhang Yi returned to his hometown, Daliang, he found some connections and wanted to meet King Hui of Wei and serve his parents' country. Zhang Yi was not lucky and happened to meet King Hui of Wei that day. Mencius was a top student. He made Zhang Yi's erotic way of being useless, and even spoke rudely, denounced Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was angry and immediately called Mencius a "prostitute in the east gate", which made Mencius vomit blood on the spot. King Hui of Wei was a monarch who was having fun and did not give any other meaning from this matter. He was afraid that he would offend Mencius, so he bombed Zhang Yi away.

From then on, Zhang Yi could not become an official in Wei State, so he could only go away to another country. At this time, Zhang Yi had no idea of ​​entering Qin. He thought that since Wei State did not need him, he would go to the Shandong countries to see. First, he went to Qi State, and King Wei of Qi to welcome him grandly, because he was so angry that Mencius who had traveled the world with a sharp tongue, he must be very good. During the meal, the two had a great conversation. King Wei of Qi State intended to reuse Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi also agreed to become an official in Qi State.

It was just because something happened later that Zhang Yi left Qi and went to Chu, preparing to become an official in Chu. During the period of Chu, Zhang Yi suffered the biggest crisis in his life and almost died in Chu.

After coming to Chu State, Zhang Yi became a diner in order to survive. When drinking, Zhaoyang took out the Heshi Bi to appreciate it. After all, he wanted to use this to satisfy his vanity.

When he was drunk, the Heshi Bi disappeared. He couldn't find it after searching for him, so he just leaned on Zhang Yi because Zhang Yi was the poorest. Who would steal the Bi if he didn't steal it?

This reason is really fucking. However, Zhaoyang believed the pig head and ordered someone to arrest Zhang Yi and beat him. Zhang Yi would rather die than surrender and was almost beaten to death.

Zhang Yi didn't even recognize that he was beaten like this. Zhaoyang thought that he might have made a mistake and let Zhang Yi go. When Zhang Yi returned to his residence, his wife blamed him for causing trouble for any trouble. Now, he almost lost his life.

Zhang Yi didn't care, pointed to his mouth and said a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, "I still care about my tongue." His wife looked at it and said, "I am here." Zhang Yi proudly said "It's enough."

Later, Zhang Yi entered Qin and was appointed as prime minister by King Hui of Qin. He was a thriving world with his three-inch tongue and turmoil for decades. How great it was.

Of course, the State of Chu also paid a heavy price for Zhaoyang's slandering Zhang Yi. King Huai of Chu was deceived repeatedly by Zhang Yi, and finally died in Qin.

Zhang Yizhi's revenge is so happy, but it is not worse than Fan Sui's revenge.

The humiliation of Zhang Yi is a very famous thing, and it is well known to everyone, because if it weren't for Zhang Yi, Su Qin's alliance would have really trapped Qin. Therefore, the Qin people respected Zhang Yi very much.

As soon as he saw the Heshi Bi, King Zhao of Qin remembered this story and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Zhang Yi's revenge on Chu and Fan Sui's revenge are all the pain of the people in the world!" Fan Sui had an experience similar to Zhang Yi, and after hearing what King Zhao of Qin said, he was very moved.

"That's right!" Le Yi, Bai Qi, Lin Xiangru and others agreed with this in unison.

Zhang Yi and Fan Sui are both great talents in Panpan, and they have such humiliating experiences. This is the pain of the people of the world. Who can not sigh?

"This also means that Shandong has lost talents. Only when the Qin Dynasty can gain talents is the reason for the Qin Dynasty's prosperity!" Qin Yiren also sighed. But his words of emotion were even more profound.

"That's right, Wang Taisun's words are extremely true!" Fan Sui agreed loudly and said, "Zhang Yi and Fan Sui are both from Daliang, Wei. They are willing to serve their parents' country, but their parents' country will not accept them. Not only will they not accept them, but they also have to worry about their lives. This is really the pain of a scholar from Shandong!"

Fan Sui is the one who feels the most profound, because others have had such a painful experience and he has the most say.

During the Warring States Period, the Wei State had the most talents, but few people could use it for Wei State, and most of them went away from other countries. For example, Shang Yang, Sun Bin, Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, and Wei Liao, the only ones who could use it in Wei State were Li Kui, Pang Juan and Wu Qi. Among these three people, only Li Kui and Pang Juan could have a beginning and an end. As for Wu Qi, he was forced to leave Wei State.

Therefore, people at that time gave Wei a sarcastic saying, "Wei talented people use it."

A piece of Heshi Bi resonated with everyone and had to sigh.

"Now, the Heshi jade is returned to Qin, which means that the world is the general. After the world is unified, the Qin Dynasty will definitely not let the scholars in the world suffer this pain again!" King Zhao of Qin said with great enthusiasm.

This is not bragging, but King Zhao of Qin really has this kind of confidence. Since Duke Xiao of Qin, Qin has never buried talents. The talents used by Qin are all talents that cannot be used in Shandong. Not only are these talents not only use their skills in Shandong, but many people have experiences of humiliation, and some of them almost died.

But when they arrived in Qin, they were valued and entrusted with important tasks.

"Come on, Li Si, come and write." King Zhao of Qin handed the Heshi Bi in his hand to Li Si.

King Zhao of Qin handed it in person, which made Li Si very excited again.

However, what made Li Si even more excited was that King Zhao of Qin personally ground ink for him.

King Zhao of Qin was the king of a country and personally grindled the ink for Li Si, which means that King Zhao of Qin was trying to help him. What a glory it was? If he said it, he would definitely admire many people to death.

"My handwriting is not as good as you. If you can't write inscriptions on the imperial seal, you will benefit from your own merits and grind the ink for you. When future generations mention this matter, they will definitely mention me, right?" Qin Yiren half-jokingly.

"Haha." Qin Yiren and the others never expected that King Zhao of Qin had such a naughty side, and they all laughed.

It’s no wonder that if King Zhao of Qin could become the emperor once the imperial seal was completed, he would become the emperor and achieve the “emperor’s career”. He was in a very good mood, so why not be surprised to grind ink with his own hands?

Li Si took a deep breath, dipped it in thick ink, and then wrote it in one go.

"Huh!" Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Si exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air, and his whole body relaxed, as if he was taking off a heavy burden.

"This... is better than the words I've just now!" King Zhao of Qin looked at it and shouted in surprise.

Qin Yiren and the others stretched their necks and saw that King Zhao of Qin did not tell any lies. This time, the words written by Li Si were three points better than they were just now.

"I feel excited and feel more energetic and have a spirit that I have to vent. This word naturally needs to be given a few points." Inscriptions and writing also require a masterpiece, such as Wang Xizhi's "Preface to Lanting", which is the pinnacle of Chinese calligraphy history, and Wang Xizhi only got drunk in Lanting this time to reach this state.
