Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 68

"Brother Zhou, you're here. What do you think we should do?" Zeng Shuyao asked for help from Zhou Chong who had jumped off the horse, her eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she was about to cry .She was already beautiful, with tears in her phoenix eyes and a sad face, she could really be called a pear blossom with rain, and it hurts everyone.

Although she is impatient, it is not so easy for her to shed tears. If she behaved like this, something big must have happened. Zhou Chong was taken aback, handed the reins to the servant, and asked, "Shuyao, What happened?"

"Brother Si, he..." Zeng Shuyao couldn't continue, she covered her face and wept, sobbing.

Li Si is not a kind person, he can do anything, could it be that he is not good for Zeng Shuyao, Zhou Chong raised a big question mark in his mind, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Zeng Shufa trotted out of the house, frowned tightly, and said, "Nephew, Mr. Li has gone crazy again."

"When did he go crazy? There are no records in history." Zhou Chong was confused by his words.

Zeng Shufa continued: "Last time, when he saw the king, he went crazy once and wanted to drink some wine. This time, he didn't eat or drink, and he didn't say a word, so he just shrank in the corner with his eyes straight, looking at the king. Ahead, doing nothing, isn’t that crazy what is it?”

Zeng Shuyao burst into tears and said: "Father, don't say it, please don't say it, Brother Si will be fine, he will be fine. If something happens to Brother Si, I won't live anymore. "

"Girl, don't talk nonsense." Zeng Shuyao scolded her daughter lovingly.

"Just for this matter, you sent someone to call me in a hurry. I'm not a doctor. I should see a doctor when I'm sick." Zhou Chong muttered in his heart, and said, "Uncle, Shuyao, take me to see Mrs. Li .”

Zeng Shu said: "Nephew, please." He took Zhou Chong to the house.

Zhou Chong followed the father and daughter into the house, and saw Li Si squatting on the ground with his back leaning against the corner of the wall, his hands wrapped around his knees, his eyes staring straight ahead, motionless, with a look of defeat on his face. Had it not been for the rise and fall of the chest to indicate that he was still alive, he would certainly have taken him for a stone statue.

In Zhou Chong's impression, Li Si was shrewd and capable, full of vitality, and possessed an admirable charm, but the man in front of him was so defeated, if Zhou Chong hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.

Zhou Chong couldn't understand it, so he asked, "Uncle, did Master Li say anything?"

"No." Zeng Shufa shook his head and said, "When he came back, he looked like this. He didn't eat or drink, and he didn't speak a word."

Zeng Shuyao thought for a while, and said: "Yes, Brother Si only said two words 'it's over'. When people asked him what was over, he didn't say anything."

"What's the end? It must be a big thing to hit such a determined person with such no confidence, but what is it?" Zhou Chong searched his memory to find out what happened to Li Si , but unexpectedly, Anwei Zeng Shuyao said: "Shuyao, don't worry, Mr. Li is not sick, he must have encountered insurmountable difficulties."

Zeng Shu nodded and said: "What my nephew said is very true. Uncle has invited several famous doctors, but they couldn't find out what the disease is. Uncle thought of my nephew. I asked my nephew to give him an idea to save him."

"You really regard me as a good doctor, but I don't know anything about medicine." Zhou Chong laughed in his heart, frowned and said: "This matter, my nephew will disappoint my uncle."

Zeng Shuyao looked at Zhou Chong with hope, but she didn't expect to get such an answer. She burst into tears and hugged Li Si and said, "Brother Si, no matter what happens, Shuyao will be with you for the rest of her life. Die, we're all going to be together."

Zeng Shufa sighed and was speechless.Obviously, he regretted that Li Si had fallen into this situation.

Infected by Zeng Shuyao's crying, Zhou Chong's nose became sore, he patted Zeng Shuyao's shoulder lightly, and said, "Shuyao, don't worry, maybe there is a way, but I don't know."

To Zeng Shuyao, these words were like the best music. She grabbed Zhou Chong's hand and said, "Brother Zhou, quickly think of a way."

"I have no choice, but there is Mr. Liaozi. As long as I clarify the situation, I can let him think about it." Thinking of Wei Liao, Zhou Chong immediately had an idea. He squatted down and asked, "Liaozi?" Brother, what happened?" Li Si didn't respond at all, Zhou Chong asked again: "Brother Li, I know you have encountered great difficulties, just tell us, we can help you."

Li Si didn't speak, but shook his head slightly.Shaking her head means despair, but Zeng Shuyao became excited: "Brother Si has reacted. Brother Si, tell me, what happened? Brother Si, tell me, tell me."

Zhou Chong pondered for a while, and decided to guess one by one. Li Si, who is eager for quick success, must have encountered troubles on the road to fame, and said: "Brother Li, you failed to do what the king asked you to do. Was punished by the king?"

Li Si shook his head again, and said: "The king will not ask Li Si to do anything anymore." The words were very soft, full of infinite loneliness, as if the end of the world had arrived.

He actually spoke, which surprised Zeng Shufa's father and daughter. The father and daughter looked at Li Si in surprise, and didn't even know what to say.

"Your Majesty Li is highly appreciated by the King, and is highly valued by the King. Why doesn't the King let you do things?" Zhou Chong was really a little strange, and wanted to find out.

Zeng Shuyao caressed Li Si's cheek, and said: "Brother Si, if you don't want to do it, you can do it, it's no big deal, Shuyao just wants you to be fine."

"In terms of talent, wisdom, morality, and loyalty, how can we not catch up with the Qin people?" Li Si stood up abruptly, retorted decisively, and said, "No, my achievements and ambitions are all in Qin, but they are gone. The world will still be in turmoil, wars will continue, and the people will still be in dire straits." He shouted: "Your Majesty, you have been shrewd all your life, but you have been confused for a while. How can you listen to heresy and push talents away for nothing? To the six kingdoms of Shandong?"

"Is it that serious?" Zeng Shufa was taken aback.Although he is from a rich family, he is still very concerned about the current situation, otherwise he would not have taken in the desperate Li Si, let alone allowed his daughter to develop a relationship with him. At first hearing such a big event, how could he not be surprised.

Zhou Chong's heart skipped a beat, thinking: "Could it be that thing happened? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Li Si waved his hands and said in infinite pain: "The king ordered the guests to be chased away!"

"Really, why haven't I heard about it? Oh, I've been too focused on promoting the great cause of Chinese civilization these days, and I haven't cared about the outside world. If it wasn't for my help from Old Man Sun, I joined the Qin Kingdom." Nationality' must also be included in the deportation list." Zhou Chong's thoughts changed.

Li Si said painfully: "Talent is the foundation of a country's prosperity. King Wen of Zhou gathered talents like the Taigong, so that he was able to defeat Zhou and take over the world. The strength of the Great Qin is all due to the achievements of guest officials. Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, etc. , Fan Sui, which one was born in the Qin Kingdom? They are not loyal to the Qin Kingdom, serving the Great Qin, and have no regrets until death. This move by the king pushed all the talents to the front of the Six Kingdoms. The kings of the Six Kingdoms are mediocre and have It is impossible for these talents to accomplish much. However, for Daqin, it is a great loss. Without talents, what else can Daqin do?"

He squatted on the ground in pain, with his back against the corner of the wall, his hands clasped in front of his knees, the divine light in his eyes drifted away, he stopped speaking, and was in infinite pain.
