The rebellion within Chu caused many problems.

Lu Buwei also needed to adjust his strategy against Chu. In recent years, thanks to Li Yuan, Qin has been able to attack the Three Jin areas with confidence. In the past, as long as Qin conflicts with the Three Jin countries, Chu always stood opposite Qin and destroyed Qin's attack. This behavior of Chu seriously hindered Qin's strategy of advancing eastward. Chu disgusted Qin from all aspects, helped Qin's enemies in military, economic and other fields, and competed with Qin for allies.

After King Kaoli of Chu died and Chunshen Jun was beheaded, this situation changed a lot. Chu buried his head and ignored the Three Jins. This is also the reason why Qin could defeat the Three Jins so quickly. Now, the Chu State has changed again. The new King of Chu does not look like a person who can bow to Qin like Li Yuan. Of course, what Lu Buwei cares about is not whether he bows his head or not, what he cares about is the personal ability of the King of Chu.

Whether in terms of territory or household registration, Chu has amazing potential, and backwardness in political systems is their only failure... If the King of Chu decides to innovate and change the backward system in the country, then Qin will launch a war against Chu at all costs... The reason is that Qin cannot watch its enemies become stronger again. But if the King of Chu does not have such an idea, Qin can instead digest its own war results first and then slowly deal with Chu.

The capture of the Three Jins made Qin State instantly add several counties, hundreds of counties, and millions of people. It was not easy for Qin State to digest these, but if these were digested, those three Chu State would not be the opponents of Qin State... Lu Buwei decided to send more secret spies to Chu State and contact the nobles in Chu State, and pay attention to changes in Chu State at any time.

Sitting in front of the young King of Qin, Lu Buwei could always realize his age.

"King, not everyone in Chu agrees with this Fu Chu. Fu Chu killed his brother mercilessly. He even broke into the palace, defiled the empress dowager, and then executed him... Many people in Chu were dissatisfied with this. I think we should not rush to attack Chu. I have already started to arrange it. It is best to trigger a few civil wars in Chu. When the counties and counties in the Three Jins are well managed, we will send troops to Chu..."

Ying Zheng was not in a hurry either. He was still very young. He also saw with his own eyes the situation in the Sanjin area. Lu Buwei's proposal was very correct. In a hurry to attack Chu, he would only force the nobles to stand by the King of Chu. If there were no foreign enemies, these Chu people would develop their fine traditions and start civil strife. King Kaoli and Huang Xie spent their entire lives not able to complete the reform of Chu. What can this prince who ascended the throne do now?

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I understand, you can do what you want."

Lu Buwei stood up tremblingly and bowed to Ying Zheng. He was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said, "There is another thing that I have almost forgotten... It is about spring farming this year. According to your order, we will transport agricultural tools to Taiyuan, Handan, Dai County, Zhongshan County, Julu County and other areas. But we did not prepare in advance, and we did not have so many agricultural tools."

"I know about this. Didn't my father send me a letter of information about the counties and counties in Zhao? He marked what the local area needed... and then arrange according to what he said."

Lu Buwei nodded and walked out of the palace. Ying Zheng looked at his hunched back and sighed helplessly. Lu Buwei is getting older and older, and his memory is not as good as before. It seems that the position of the prime minister of the country should be chosen to replace him so that Lu Buwei can continue to revise his book at home with peace of mind... When he thinks of his successor, the first thing that Ying Zheng thinks of was Han Fei.

During this period, Han Fei had already revised Qin laws to the point of perfection. Even after Zhao Kuo read them, he couldn't help but applaud. Han Fei changed his attitude towards the law. The law was just a tool, a tool for governing the country. Therefore, Han Fei stood at the height of the country and constantly polished the tool, making this tool particularly practical.

During these days, Han Fei was thinking about the law all day long. Ying Zheng hadn't talked with him for a long time. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng asked the warrior to inform Han Fei and summon him to see him. When Han Fei rushed to the palace, he looked a little tired. His clothes were a little worn, and his crown was dirty. It seemed that he had not been washed for many days. Han Fei sat in front of Ying Zheng tiredly, looked at Ying Zheng in front of him, and asked, "What's the matter?"

In Xianyang, there are not many people who dare to be rude to Ying Zheng. Han Fei is one of them. Perhaps because he watched him grow up, Han Fei treats him as his younger brother. Of course, if there is an outsider here, Han Fei will still face the king... Ying Zheng shook his head angrily, and he complained: "You have time to come to visit Fusu, but you don't have time to visit me..."

"I want me to teach Fusu again? Let me tell you, Fusu's age is not suitable for learning from me... He is too young!"

"But he can already speak. When I learned from you, it was too bad for him."

"Yes, so I suffered a lot in order to teach you... My education method is too strict and not suitable for him. If it is enlightenment, it is best to let the teacher teach you."

"Father taught me? Do you know how irritable my father was when he enlightened me..."

"That's for you, Fusu is different."

Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, and he said, "Okay, this is not what I want to say. I heard that you have been locking yourself in your study during this period. What are you doing?" Han Fei said seriously: "I am defining domestic laws... Domestic laws are mixed, and it has become very troublesome to cultivate officials. There are not many officials in Qin now, and you probably understand why this is. What I want to do is to refine the laws, popularize the laws to the world, and govern the country with the laws."

"It's like this. I classify the law into three types. First, it is to stipulate the basic system, social system and other fundamental issues of Qin State, which are the basis for the formulation of other laws. I call it the Basic Law. The Basic Law stipulates the status of a king and stipulates the system of Qin State... The second is the law that regulates the property relations and personal relationships of the people in Qin State. I call it the Civil Law, and the criminal law that stipulates what kind of behavior is a crime and what kind of punishment should be imposed."

"This is done under the inspiration of the teacher..."

Han Fei told Ying Zheng one by one about his classification and what he has made. To be honest, Ying Zheng was a little confused. Why did he separate the law so much? Why did he have to separate the law and determine his status, the power and obligations of the people? However, seeing Han Fei was so excited, he did not pour cold water on his head, but just nodded and pondered.

"This is very good...Wenxinhou is old and I am very worried about him, so I wonder, can you take over his position and become the prime minister of Qin?" Ying Zheng asked. Ying Zheng still loved Han Fei very much. The two had exactly the same views on unification and other aspects. Ying Zheng believed that this was because they were educated by the same person. In fact, even on the unification line that had not been changed, the two had the same views on governing the country and unification.

Apart from Zhao Kuo, Han Fei is probably the one who knows Ying Zheng the best. He knows what Ying Zheng wants to do, and he knows what Ying Zheng should do... So when Ying Zheng thought of changing the prime minister, the first thing he thought of was Han Fei. Han Fei had a huge influence in Qin. The difference between him and Zhao Kuo was that he made a lot of contributions to the law and cultivated a large number of officials, and his disciples were distributed throughout the Qin State.

This is enough to make any king feel afraid. At this moment, Han Fei felt that his disciples and former officials were everywhere in the world.

Of course, it is still a bit worse than Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo's number of disciples may not be as many as Han Fei, but in terms of quality, both sides are not on the same level. The only one who can compete with Zhao Kuo for the quality of disciples is probably Xunzi, who has passed away.

Han Fei thought for a moment, and he said, "It's not that I don't want to be the Prime Minister... but I know a candidate who is more suitable to be the Prime Minister than me." Ying Zheng was stunned and asked, "What you are talking about..."

"Lisi."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown. In the unchanging historical line, Li Si was a disciple under Lu Buwei. After he noticed the danger, he left Lu Buwei. When he saw the King of Qin, he hurriedly expressed his idea of ​​unification, so he was appointed by the King of Qin. The King of Qin used his plan to disagree and divide various countries. He went to various countries with gold and jade to buy, bribe, and alienate the monarchs and ministers of the six countries.

Later, when Zheng State built a canal, the King of Qin believed that the guest officials could not trust, so he wanted to drive them away. Li Si relied on a beautiful "Letter of Exiting Guests", which made Ying Zheng take back his suggestions and began to reuse the Chu people. However, now, the idea of ​​unifying the world is not rare. Dividing and alienating various countries is also Lu Buwei's specialty. As for expelling the guest officials, Ying Zheng had no such idea at all, which led to Li Si not being favored by the King of Qin.

Zhao Kuo's teachings made Li Si lose the opportunity to show his skills.

"What talent does he have? Can he be the prime minister of Qin?"

Han Fei said seriously: "He is Xunzi's disciple. At that time, the teacher wanted to change the official positions in China and set up the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. The teacher did not look for others, but instead found Li Si. I was also confused with you at that time and didn't know what talent he had, but within a few days he came up with a set of official positions that could be fully implemented. I want to tell you that even teachers cannot do these things so quickly."

"He is a person who can do practical things. The opposite of me. I can say a lot of things, but if you want me to do it, I may be able to do it, but it is probably not as expected. Although he is not as good as me, if you want him to do things, he can definitely do the best." After Han Fei praised this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a little moved. Li Si has been helping Lu Buwei in these days, but Ying Zheng has never talked to him many times.

"Okay, then I'll see him."

Han Fei's expression was very serious. He said: "One person's strength alone cannot overcome all people; one person's wisdom alone cannot fully understand all things. Instead of relying on his own wisdom and strength, the monarch is worse than the wisdom and strength of a country's people, so he can defeat all things by defeating all things. The inferior monarch does his own talents, the medium monarch does his best, and the superior monarch does his best."

"Therefore, the most precious talent of a king lies in the employment of people."

Ying Zheng said seriously: "Acquiring education". Ying Zheng has read Han Fei's works. To be precise, they are works that record Han Fei's words and deeds. Han Fei wrote many ways to govern the country, control ministers, and treat the people in the country. Zhao Kuo's works are written for people all over the world, while Han Fei's books are written for the king, because all Han Fei's words and deeds are persuading the king how to govern.

After seeing Han Fei away, Ying Zheng sent someone again, but called Li Si.

Li Si is calm and different from the tired Han Fei. He is meticulous and neat. Ying Zheng looked at Li Si in front of him, and was still savoring Han Fei's words in his heart. This was the first time Han Fei recommended someone else. He couldn't help asking, "How is your relationship with the court guard Han Fei?" Li Si was stunned. When he heard Ying Zheng summoned him, Li Si was also surprised, and he didn't know what the reason was.

When Ying Zheng suddenly asked about his relationship with Han Fei, Li Si became even more confused.

"The law stipulates that ministers should not have personal relationships."

Li Si's answer did not satisfy Ying Zheng very much. Ying Zheng asked again: "What do you think is the most precious talent of a king?"

Li Si hesitated for a long time and replied with uncertainty: "The reward and punishment are clear..."

These two questions and answers already reflect the gap between him and Han Fei. Ying Zheng shook his head and asked again: "What do you think you should do after a king of the world?" Li Si was a little panicked. He had already understood that it was probably Han Fei who recommended him to the king. The king was examining himself, but his answer seemed to have failed to satisfy the king. Li Si had always had great ambitions and wanted to achieve a career.

So he resigned from his official position in Chu State and went to Xunzi to study with him.

Now, he has been by Lu Buwei's side, and his power and status are very high, but he has never been valued by the king. As a minister, he can only use his full abilities by the king. Li Si understands this. He quickly thought about it. Facing the Qin King's question, he immediately replied: "Unify words, currency, weights and measures, and connect the whole country together with the road."

Ying Zheng looked at him calmly, and he heard these words when he was three or four years old.

Ying Zheng was a little disappointed and wanted to let Li Si leave, but suddenly remembered Han Fei's evaluation of him and could do practical things.

He finally asked, "Then do you think, how should you unify the text?"

Li Si was still a little anxious. Before coming to pay homage to the King of Qin, he had almost no preparations. Now he seemed a little passive. In desperation, he had to say, "Please give me a piece of paper and a pen."

“What are you going to write?”

"Unifying words requires improving today's words, and creating the simplest and most cost-effective words... Write an enlightenment book so that everyone in the world can learn quickly..."
