Chapter Seventeen: Two Foxes(1/2)
Chen Ke was sitting in the front hall, waiting silently with his eyes closed, thinking about things in his mind.
Li Si is an old fox.
Generally speaking, you won't get involved in these things.
But the question is, is what is happening now a normal thing?
Of course not.
A smile spread across his lips.
I have already passed a clear path in front of the First Emperor. What happens next depends on whether Li Si, an old fox, cooperates.
After a moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
There was a hint of orderliness in the panic of the footsteps, and Chen Ke immediately recognized it. It was pretended panic and haste.
Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.
"It turns out that Master Chen is here, and it really makes the humble house shine."
Li Si smiled first when they met.
Although he is the prime minister, Chen Ke is just a nine ministers.
But I can't help but that this Jiuqing is now a popular figure in front of the emperor.
Furthermore, the Sangong and the Nine Qings, the Sangong and the Nine Qings, the position of these Nine Qings is actually not much lower than him.
Everyone carries the sedan chair.
He won't suffer any loss if he is polite.
When Chen Ke heard this voice, he quickly stood up: "Master Li, you have broken me, you have broken me."
Just as he was about to salute, he was suddenly supported by Li Si.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both of them skipping the false courtesy.
After it was done, Li Sicai looked at Chen Ke and said, "Master Chen, you came to my humble residence today. What do you mean?"
"It can't be that Mr. Chen suddenly misses me, right?"
This was said rather ambiguously, and Chen Ke just smiled.
He picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of water.
There was no tea in this era, let alone tea soup. All that was available was plain water and wine.
Of course, in Chen Ke's opinion, the wine of this era is not much different from boiled water.
"Master Li, of course I have something important to discuss with Master Li when I come here."
He looked at Li Side and said, "Master Li, do you still remember that two days ago, the lower official said in court that there were some problems with Master Li's county system?"
Li Si raised his eyebrows, with a little curiosity in his eyes.
Is this the case?
Isn’t it because the Kong family came to see him?
Could it be that Chen Ke didn't know about this yet? As soon as the idea came up, Li Si rejected it in his heart.
This is impossible.
So, let’s talk about the county system first?
He looked a little serious and said, "Of course I remember the truth."
"Every sentence Mr. Chen Shaofu said that day was heartfelt and made people think deeply."
"I feel ashamed to say it, but I would like to thank Chen Shaofu for reminding me."
"The truth is that I am in the imperial court. As Mr. Chen Shaofu said, he has been in a high position for a long time, and he doesn't even know that the people below him have such thoughts."
"If the young man hadn't told me about this that day, when something really happened, the truth would have been hard to escape."
After saying that, Li Si stood up and saluted Chen Ke.
"For this gift, thank you very much, Mr. Chen, for saving my life."
After Li Si saluted, he sat down again, looked at Chen Ke's face and said, "Is Mr. Chen here today about the county system?"
"Could it be that Mr. Chen already has a solution to this problem?"
Chen Ke nodded slightly.
He had just received a salute from Li Si, but he did not dodge.
Because it's too late.
Although this can't be said to be a favor to himself, it does put the favor on the surface.
What an old fox.
Chen Ke cursed secretly in his heart, then raised his head, his expression as usual.
"good"
He smiled slightly: "Today, I had a dream from an immortal and taught you how to make a magical object, so I came to the palace to present it to Your Majesty."
"During the conversation, we started talking about the shortcomings of the county system."
Chen Ke said with emotion: "When Your Majesty asked about this matter, I had a lot of thoughts in my mind."
"When we finally answered the question, we came up with a way to temporarily alleviate the problem."
"After hearing this, His Majesty asked again."
"How to solve the shortcomings of the county system, I am worried"
"It is clear that when I was talking with the Prime Minister, I suddenly had an epiphany and came up with a method."
"Your Majesty is overjoyed and informed me."
"This method can be presented to the court tomorrow."
When Chen Ke said this, he carefully considered every word.
This is for smart people.
What is "asking again"?
After hearing the method, why do you need to ask again?
What does "talking with the Prime Minister" mean?
What does "Your Majesty is overjoyed" mean?
What does it mean to "dedicate the method to the court tomorrow"?
These words all have profound meaning.
Li Si sat there. After listening to Chen Ke's words, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
This fox!
In a few words, he pushed himself to the forefront? And this matter has already passed the clear path of the First Emperor!
Can he refuse?
Of course not.
If the First Emperor did not want to be in the limelight, then when Chen Ke said this, His Majesty would have hinted or made it explicit.
Now that this statement is in front of me, it explains one thing.
His Majesty agreed and fully supported...
Li Si said with emotion: "Chen Shaofu is indeed a young talent!"
There was also the second half of this sentence, "I really know how to raise the banner," but I didn't say it out loud.
Chen Ke smiled slightly, looked at Li Si and said, "Why don't Mr. Li listen to my method before making a judgment?"
Under the words, he explained the methods such as "transfer" and "job rotation" that he came up with one by one.
As Li Si listened, his expression changed slightly.
His eyes became brighter and brighter, his whole expression became more and more beautiful, and his face became more and more rosy.
It's like drinking a glass of very pure wine, now it's a little bit intoxicating.
"This method is good, this method is good!"
Li Si supported his body with his hands. He looked at Chen Ke as if he wanted to cut open Chen Ke's head.
"How did you come up with this method?"
Li Si said with emotion: "Why didn't you realize that Chen Shaofu had this ability before?"
"Now that I have passed through life and death, I have become wiser."
He even said: "I want to give it a try even if I get my true form. Is it possible to improve my wisdom by wandering back and forth between life and death?"
