Inside the Xianyang Imperial Palace.

Qin Shihuang was looking at the documents in front of him, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.

"The influence of Lang'er on the Confucian and Legalist families is somewhat weaker."

"Although the Confucian leader prefers him, Su'er's reputation among Confucianists is now higher than him."

"Legalism is Gao'er's world."

Now that the great debate between Confucianism and Legalism has ended, many Confucian scholars have stood out.

Among the young generation, it is Fusu and Gao who have the best reputation.

Of course, although there are promoters behind both of them, this also shows that they still have some talents.

On the contrary, Zhao Lang, whom he had previously been most optimistic about, seemed to have made little progress.

Not to mention Hu Hai, he has already performed well these days without going out to cause trouble.

At this time, Zhao Gao on the side responded with a smile,

"I would like to congratulate Your Majesty. Young Master Fusu has lived up to your expectations."

"Old slave heard that now everyone in the city knows that with such a young master Su, if he becomes prime minister in the future, Great Qin will not have to fight to build the Great Wall!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shihuang's face changed slightly and he said calmly,

"Well, it's quite popular with the people."

Zhao Gao responded repeatedly,

"Yeah yeah!"

"Gongzi Gao has also won the support of many Legalists."

Zhao Gao praised Young Master Gao again, and then said,

"You are Gongzi Lang. I have been busy with Heming Academy and farm matters recently."

When Qin Shihuang listened, he couldn't help but feel the comparison in his heart.

Although Fusu and Gao are making good progress, their vision is a bit narrow.

And it's just for his own benefit.

And Zhao Lang worked hard alone to build a school, and he didn't forget to give him the position of principal.

In terms of vision and awareness, it is clear at a glance who is higher and who is lower.

At this time, Zhao Gao was still praising Fusu and Gao, but Qin Shihuang felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Why, Lang'er said a few words to you in front of you last night, and you already hold a grudge?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, he was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground and said,

"Your Majesty! I don't dare!"

"I just feel that Young Master Fusu and Gao rarely make you feel comfortable for a while, so I praised you a few more times. I have absolutely no ill intentions towards Young Master Lang!"

Qin Shihuang snorted coldly at this time and said,

"I'm sorry you don't dare!"

Seeing Zhao Gao kneeling on the ground, Qin Shihuang couldn't help but echo Zhao Lang's words, Zhao Gao and Li Si were just two vicious dogs that surrendered to the strong.

If that day comes, can Fusu and Gao be able to suppress them?

Just as Qin Shihuang was thinking about it.

An attendant came in and reported,

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wishes to see you."

Qin Shihuang raised his eyes slightly,

"Let him in."

Now that the Legalist debate is over, it's not surprising that the other party is here.

Probably for Gao'er's sake, Confucianism has its own spokesperson, and Legalism will naturally not lag behind.

"I have met His Majesty."

Soon Li Si appeared in the palace.

"Why did the Prime Minister come to the palace?"

Qin Shihuang looked at Li Si and asked directly.

Li Si said slowly,

"Your Majesty, I am here for Legalism."

Qin Shihuang was calm in his heart. He still knew his ministers very well.

Moreover, he had already heard the report from the Black Ice Guards. The Legalists have been preaching these days to use the law as teaching and officials as teachers.

If it had been before, Qin Shihuang might have agreed.

But now, he has already been attracted by what Zhao Lang said and used Baijia.

Soon, Li Si said,

"Your Majesty, I have a request. I would like to accept a prince as my disciple."

A prince's apprenticeship must be approved by the emperor.

Qin Shihuang said in his heart that indeed, the other party came for Gao'er.

He doesn't mind either. Although he has long been optimistic about Zhao Lang, if a prince wants to mature, he must have a few whetstones!

He suddenly said calmly,

"Okay, I promise you."

Li Si was stunned for a moment and said,

"Your Majesty, do you agree now?"

"Well, when will I regret it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I don't know when Your Majesty will inform Young Master Lang of his identity. I can prepare the ceremony as soon as possible."

Li Si said with a smile.

When Qin Shihuang heard Zhao Lang's name, he was startled and returned.

"Who are you talking about?!"

Li Si returned,

"Young Master Lang, Your Majesty, you just promised, you can't go back on it!"

Qin Shihuang heard clearly this time, but he was even more confused.

If he were a Confucian, he would still understand. Zhao Lang's performance in the first two times was still very good.

But Zhao Lang never went to the Legalist debates even once!

Why are you joining in the fun?

After Qin Shihuang finished thinking, he looked at him with earnest eyes, pretended to cough, and then said,

"I am not that able to make the decision regarding Langer's affairs."

"If you want to accept him as your disciple, I'm afraid you still have to show some skills."

"Besides, you know Langer's appetite."

Who was Qin Shihuang?

How could he not find an opportunity to trick Li Si at this time?

I thought Li Si would hesitate, but he didn't expect the other party to say very simply,

"What your Majesty said is that we, the Legalists, are naturally sincere."

But this sincere attitude completely made Qin Shihuang a little confused.

The other party had previously pushed and blocked.

At this moment, the Black Ice Guard came in to report,

"Your Majesty, I have sent you an urgent message, inviting you to visit Zhuangzi. You are said to be extremely urgent."

Qin Shihuang was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw Zhao Lang using 100,000 yuan to rush.

There was no hesitation at the moment, when he said,

"Getting ready to leave the palace, Prime Minister, you happen to be here too."

Soon, the three people left the palace.

All the way to Zhao Lang's village.
