Chapter 92 Who is Li Nian?
As for the green and white dish, if you look closely, you will see that the green is chopped green onions, and the white is a white square that has never been seen before.
The combination of the two gives people a simple, elegant, refreshing and clean feeling. It can't help but think of how good it would be if life could be so simple.
Chun Yuyue fell in love with the dish at the first sight. He didn't taste it, but the color and shape made him full. He seemed to see the life path he pursued.
Ying Zhengdao: "This dish is called 'Scallion Mixed with Tofu', and the other dish is Shisanxiang. This thing can be used for seasoning. For example, adding a little when stewing meat can enhance the taste. This thing It can also be used as a dipping sauce for tofu, but I think you should not do this. ”
After explaining, Ying Zheng said again: "Please use it, gentlemen!"
Chun Yu Yue had already wanted to taste it. He picked up the chopsticks on the tray, picked up a piece of tofu and put it into his mouth. It was exactly what he thought. , the taste of this dish is just like its appearance, fragrant and refreshing.
Other ministers also felt the same way. The taste was the same as what the king said. You could taste the taste of Shu, but it was different from Shu rice and was not that difficult to swallow.
The ministers also understood Ying Zheng’s intention, which was to spread the method of making this tofu to the world so that people all over the world can eat this tofu.
But I have to say that this tofu is indeed more delicious than rice. If word spreads, it will be loved by people all over the world who eat rice all year round.
As important ministers of the Qin Dynasty, they can eat other foods, but throughout the world, rice is one of the staple foods commonly eaten by those with humble status and poor family background.
If the method of making tofu spreads throughout the world, it will definitely make the king’s reputation in the world even higher.
Whose advice did the king get to use these things to win over the people of the world?
Is it the one who made the globe?
Seeing that all the ministers had tasted tofu, Ying Zheng asked: "How do you think this tofu tastes?"
Chunyu Yue stood up and bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this tofu for all the people in the world!"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "This thing was not made by me, but by Li Nian. I just want to spread it Pass it on to the world so that all the people of Qin can eat it."
"Everyone must remember that if anyone asks who made these things, they are all made by Li Nian, and they must not be passed on to others without permission! ”
Li Nian?
Finally I know the name of the "person" the king spoke of, but I have never heard it before!
The ministers searched quickly in their minds: Where is he from, what is his origin, and how old is he?
After thinking about it for a while, they didn’t find that there was such a Li Nian among the people they knew.
Seeing how seriously Ying Zheng said it, the ministers were shocked and quickly responded, "Wei!"
This Li Nian has a very high status in the king’s heart!
Similarly, if they have a low status in the heart of the king and the king allows them to live in the palace, will he tell them sternly that these things were made by Li Nian and not by him?
If each of these things is spread, it will gain great reputation in the world. If the king admits that he made it, the benefits to the king will be immeasurable.
The king has now given up this benefit and fulfilled the reputation of Li Nian. I don’t know what the king is thinking.
Li Si reminded Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, once these things are spread to the world, then Li Nian will be loved by everyone in the world, and his reputation will be incomparable. For..."
Li Si did not say anything. It's over, but Ying Zheng already understands his intention. Li Nianhuo has gained such a great reputation in the world, which will threaten you, the king!
Ying Zheng’s eyes fell on Li Si. Li Si’s words did mean to think about him, but he believed that Li Si’s deeper intention was to alienate him and Li Nian and make him suspicious of Li Nian. He had also thought about the possibility in Li Si's words. If Li Nian was the producer and spread these things, Li Nian's reputation among the people would definitely be great.
When the time comes, even he will no longer be able to manipulate Li Nian at will.
Because if such a person who has contributed to all the people in the world is killed, someone will definitely want to avenge Li Nian, and Great Qin will be in turmoil.
From this point of view, it is best and in his best interest for him to take the credit for making these things, but he has other ideas, such as he wants to show his magnanimity to that boy Li Nian: Look, I will not take away your credit!
For Ying Zheng, the value that Li Nian can bring to him in the future far exceeds the value of thinking that he is a producer at the moment.
How to measure this account is not difficult to calculate!
But Li Si didn’t know it, so he said this!
Ying Zheng said, "There is no need to say anything more, Ting Wei, I believe in Li Nian." He blocked other people who had the same idea as Li Si and wanted to speak out.
Who is this Li Nian? The king trusts and protects him so much?
If he can live in the palace for a long time, he must be the son of the king, right?
Throughout their life, many ministers only felt that this was a possibility. The more they thought about it, the more they felt it was possible.
If Li Nian is the son of the king, then some things that were previously incomprehensible now have reasonable explanations.
For example, if the king suddenly wants to establish a crown prince, why does he want to establish Prince Su?
They are obviously trying to find a way for this Li Nian, let me ask them!
Now again, the king insists that everyone knows that these things were created by Li Nian, which is obviously to build momentum for him and pave the way for him to become the next king.
The king is not afraid that Li Nian's huge popularity among the people will affect him, because they are father and son, and the relationship between father and son is good. Why should father and son be so wary?
If Li Nian knew what they were thinking, he would definitely lament that these people are too smart and think too much. People who are not smart may not have thought of this.
Li Si, a smart man, also thought of this, got up and knelt down, and apologized to Ying Zheng: "I made a mistake, please forgive me!"
Ying Zheng was disturbed by Li Si's sudden apology. It's baffling, he said : "Wei Ting also thinks about me, so what is there to blame? If we are guilty today because of Wei Ting's words, who will dare to give me advice in the future? Wei Ting, please get up quickly!"
"Thank you Your Majesty’s Grace!”
After getting up, Li Si felt a little regretful. He had just seen that Li Nian was too valued by Ying Zheng and thought it would threaten his position in Ying Zheng, so he said those words.
Now that I think about it, he may have offended a young master who will be in charge of Great Qin in the future, but fortunately, he can still use it as a defense because he was thinking about the king and not against Li Nian.
You should be able to excuse yourself...
If Ying Zheng had the ability to read minds and know what Li Si was thinking, he would probably laugh out loud: Li Nian, the son of a widower? Hahaha! Are you, Li Si, afraid of offending him? Do you know what he said about you?
Although he does not have the ability to read minds, Ying Zheng really intends to record Li Si's words and performance just now and show them to Li Nian.
In addition to Li Si, Chunyu Yue was also worried that Li Nian might be a young master.
Due to Su Xu’s relationship, he knew a little more than Li Si and believed that Li Nian might be Ying Zheng’s son.
Why is it him?
According to what Su Xu said, Li Nian was very unfavorable to the Confucians. Recently, the young master Fusu stopped calling him to teach in the palace. I am afraid it has something to do with this person.
