Chapter 842 Emperor Qin and Ancestor Han! Alas, this is what a man should do!
Liu Ji was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qi Ai beside him.
Ying Chengyu asked for credit for Zhang Han, which Liu Ji thought was normal.
After all, Zhang Han was originally going to be the head of the West Garden of the Shaofu, Zhang Ling, and was a middle- and high-level official in the Qin Dynasty. It was worthy of Ying Chengyu to mention it in front of Ying Zheng.
But Liu Ji never expected that Ying Chengyu would actually call him over in front of Ying Zheng!
When Liu Ji was a retainer in Zhang Er's house, he also gave advice to Zhang Er. Although Zhang Er treated him very politely, he never introduced Liu Ji to anyone of high status!
Qi Ai smiled and pushed Liu Ji, and said warmly: "Go."
"Chang'an Lord will not treat any meritorious minister ill."
"Regardless of identity!"
With the force of Qi Ai's push, Liu Ji staggered forward a few steps, then suppressed the excitement in his heart, quickly adjusted his breathing, and walked up to Ying Chengyu with a particularly respectful attitude He turned to his side and bowed his hands: "Greetings to Mr. Chang'an!"
Then Liu Jicai faced Ying Zheng and shouted: "Liu Ji, a concubine of Peixian County."
"Meet the king!"
Ying Zheng looked down at Liu Ji in front of him, his brain was working rapidly for a few breaths, and then he said calmly. He asked in a voice: "Liu Ji of Peixian County?"
"Are you the Liu Ji who was protected by the king's brother?"
Although Liu Ji's name had already spread to Ying Zheng's ears, But he is just an introduction for various forces to persuade Yingzheng to pursue filial piety, a small figure pushed by various forces, and a small chess piece on a huge chessboard.
Ying Zheng searched his mind for a long time before finally remembering Liu Ji's identity.
However, the silence of Ying Zheng's thinking was like a mountain of pressure to the top of Liu Ji!
Ying Zheng’s questions made Liu Ji feel the oppression of life and death!
Under the huge pressure, Liu Ji was not nervous anymore.
The worst possible outcome is death.
Afraid of a ball!
Liu Ji smiled freely and said: "Liu was originally despicable, virtuous and incompetent, and was in danger of causing disaster."
"Fortunately, Lord Chang'an was generous and did not blame Liu."
“Fortunately, Lord Chang’an values him and is willing to speak up for Liu!”
“If the king is talking about Liu who has been criticized by all the doctors, then it is me!”
< br>
The tension and anxiety in Liu Ji's eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What replaced it was deep confidence and wanton freedom.
Ying Zheng watched Liu Ji's changes carefully, and a smile slowly appeared on his face: "No wonder Master Fusu always praised Mr. Liu every time he mentioned it."
"Liu Although your husband is of humble origin, what you do is that of a husband!"
Liu Ji raised his head in astonishment and looked directly at Ying Zheng at such a close distance for the first time in his life.
Liu Ji, who is seven feet eight inches tall (1.8 meters tall), is extremely tall in this era.
But when Liu Ji stood in front of Ying Zheng, Liu Ji still felt like he was standing in front of a giant. He had to raise his head to see Ying Zheng's eyes!
And when Liu Ji's eyes swept up from Ying Zheng's crown clothes to Ying Zheng's face and finally stopped at Ying Zheng's eyes, Ying Zheng's naturally looking down at the world made Liu Ji already The adjusted mentality was trembling again.
When Liu Ji looked past Ying Zheng, he caught the figures of Lu Buwei, Li Si, Feng Quji and others from the corner of his eye.
Every one of them is a world-famous talent, and each of them is enough to make 99% of the people in the world look up and worship.
Wei Wuji, who was once admired by Liu Ji, was defeated by them, and Zhang Er, who was once followed by Liu Ji, could only run away because of their words.
But now, this famous genius is standing behind Ying Zheng, standing respectfully facing Ying Zheng!
The envy, awe, reverence, longing and other emotions in Liu Ji's heart burst out, and finally condensed into a heartfelt admiration:
"Aha, this is what a real man should be!"
Ying Zheng has heard too many compliments in different forms and with different purposes in his life.
Therefore, Ying Zheng knew very well that such explicit and straightforward praise was Liu Ji's heartfelt praise!
If Liu Ji was just Liu Ji of Peixian County, Ying Zheng would not be moved by this.
But it happened that Liu Ji was Ying Chengyu's man, and he was singled out by Ying Chengyu to ask for awards.
In this way, Liu Ji’s praise has a different meaning!
The smile on Ying Zheng's face became more sincere, and he chuckled softly: "Many people praise me as a wise king, while others denounce me as a tyrant."
"This is the first time I've heard of this man's reputation."
While speaking, Ying Zheng turned his eyes to Ying Chengyu and raised his eyebrows subtly.
Ying Chengyu could clearly see a bit of pride in Ying Zheng's eyes.
Not far away, Li Si's heart trembled, and his eyes towards Liu Ji were a little more unkind.
Broken!
Meet a potential competitor!
Liu Ji realized his gaffe and immediately calmed down, but the smile on his face did not change at all: "I am humble and vulgar. I grew up in the countryside. I haven't read many books, and I can't be like those well-educated and talented people." Gentlemen generally speak in a formal manner."
"I was just meeting the king for the first time, and my heart was trembling. Please don't blame me!"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said: " Mr. Liu claimed that he had not read many books, but Mr. Fusu said that he had learned many principles from Mr. Liu. "
Ying Zheng subconsciously did some research.
If Liu Ji still insists that he has not read many books, it will undoubtedly indicate that Fusu is lying and doing injustice!
If Liu Ji changed his words, it would undoubtedly mean that Liu Jifang was deceiving the emperor. It not only proved that he was inconsistent and dishonest, but would also commit the crime of deceiving the emperor!
Liu Ji smiled in surprise: "Liu just travels around the world a lot. He has seen too many people and things, and he has chosen some interesting people and things to tell Mr. Fusu."
“I never thought that Mr. Fusu would be able to realize many truths from it.”
“I never thought that Mr. Fusu would have such a high opinion of humbleness!” “Liu, fortunately even ”
The smile that Ying Zheng had suppressed reappeared on his face, and he nodded happily and said: "No wonder Young Master Fusu has become a lot more angry in recent times."
"It turned out to be Mr. Liu. Bringing the world to Young Master Fusu!”
“Good! Very good!”
“It is my fault that I have not arranged for Young Master Fusu to have a master who is familiar with the world’s affairs.”
"If Mr. Liu doesn't give up, will he be the wife of Master Fusu?"
Liu Ji originally thought that his adjusted mentality would not be shaken by any external force.
When Liu Ji heard Ying Zheng’s words, the solid dam in his heart burst again!
Liu is just a scoundrel from Peixian County.
How can He De be the teacher of the eldest son of Great Qin! ! !
Just because Liu is shameless?
Liu Ji subconsciously turned to look at Ying Chengyu, and then met Ying Chengyu's encouraging gaze.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Ji suddenly raised his hands to Ying Zheng and shouted in a deep voice: "I am humble, thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
"I will live up to your Majesty's trust! "
At this point, Ying Chengyu finally said with dissatisfaction: "Brother, this is too much!"
"Although Mr. Liu has no official title, he is quite capable."
"The construction of the workshops in Lantian County was coordinated by Dr. Zhang."
"The art of blast furnace construction is It is up to the master craftsman Ai and other craftsmen to think about it."
"The responsibilities of allocating manpower and material resources from various places, organizing transportation, and boosting the morale of Dingkou are all shouldered by Mr. Liu!"
< br>"Brother Wang mobilized a total of more than 60,000 men to build a cluster of workshops in Lantian County and develop the art of steelmaking, but Mr. Liu allowed me not to worry too much about it."
"In addition, Mr. Liu is also responsible for managing the hog farm and breeding."
Ying Chengyu pulled Liu Ji back a few steps and said warily: "Mr. Liu is my subordinate. Strong general!"
"My brother called Mr. Liu out just to ask for credit."
"How can I kidnap my strong general in just a few words?"
Although he was dragged behind, Liu Ji looked at Ying Chengyu's back with gratitude.
Liu Ji knew very well that it wasn't that Ying Chengyu didn't want to let people go, let alone to prevent Ying Zheng from robbing people, but he was introducing Liu Ji's achievements and abilities in this way!
Even in the later era of telephones, computers, airplanes, and instant messaging software, coordinating three projects spanning more than 300 kilometers fully mobilized the enthusiasm of more than 60,000 prime-age men. , asking them to complete various tasks in an orderly manner is not something ordinary people can do.
Let alone Da Qin!
As expected, after listening to Ying Chengyu's words, Lu Buwei, Wei Zhuang and others restrained their casualness, and looked at Liu Ji with more seriousness and appreciation in their eyes.
Ying Zheng's evaluation of Liu Ji went up a few levels, and he smiled warmly: "Today's Great Qin is at a time of employment..."
Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, Ying Chengxuan interrupted: "Now is the time for me to employ people!"
Ying Zheng said funnyly: "Mr. Liu is just a retainer in Brother Wang's house, Brother Wang How can you be so domineering?”
“It’s up to Mr. Liu to decide where he will go!”
Before Ying Chengyu turned around to ask him, Liu Ji had already handed him over in awe. His eyes were slightly red and he lowered his head and said: "I am despicable by nature, and I have a humble background."
"How can I be humble enough to be valued so much by the king and Lord Chang'an?!"
Liu Ji knew very well that it was impossible for Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu to really compete for him.
But just the fact that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu ‘competed’ for him is enough for him to be recorded in history!
Liu Ji can pretend not to see this reward, but he cannot deceive his heart!
Taking a gentle breath, Liu Ji said seriously: "I am fortunate to be selected by Lord Chang'an, and I am grateful to Lord Chang'an for your trust."
"I must fulfill Lord Chang'an's entrustment. Will consider other things.”
"I hope the king will forgive me!"
Looking at the determination in Liu Ji's eyes, Ying Zheng smiled happily: "Since Mr. Liu has made up his mind, it is not convenient for me to persuade him."
"Wang Everything I do is for the benefit of the country and the people."
"As long as Mr. Liu follows Brother Wang with all his heart, he will surely enjoy great success!"
"Wait until the day comes. , Mr. Liu can be more justified in bringing his merits to the DPRK.”
"I am waiting for you!"
Liu Ji suddenly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "I humble myself, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Order!"
“Specially ennoble the common man Liu Jijue to the title of hairpin!”
Liu Ji had already heard from Qi Ai and others that they could enjoy the title through craftsmanship, but he never expected that in the blast furnace project He who is only responsible for organization and coordination work can also be awarded the title of hairpin.
If Liu Ji just returned to his hometown with a hairpin and a title, even the head of the Sishui Pavilion would take the initiative to meet Liu Ji!
Some of the dreams I once had seemed to suddenly come true.
Liu Ji was confused and even more excited and shouted: "My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"
