Li Si had doubts about Chen Ke from the very beginning.

Not only Li Si, but everyone in the court actually had a very strange feeling towards Chen Ke.

When Chen Ke first came to Qin, it was the 26th year of King Qin's reign, when the First Emperor was about to unify the six kingdoms.

Li Si looked at Chen Ke with a little memory on his face.

In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Ke came from the Mohist family and presented the method of smelting iron, thus becoming the Shaofu of the Qin Dynasty.

In the next two years, Chen Ke has been relatively ordinary.

In the twenty-eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Ke was not beguiled by the Confucian Chunyu Yue, so he and his son Fusu opposed the system of prefectures and counties.

In the twenty-eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, in the same month, Chen Ke presented the art of papermaking.

In the eighth month of the twenty-eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Ke presented the art of engraving and printing.

It was the end of October in the twenty-eighth year of the Qin Dynasty. It was this time.

After hearing Li Si's question, Chen Ke's face showed a hint of confusion. He turned around and looked at the scenery outside the hall.

for what?

His voice was deeper: "Brother Li, this question of yours stumps me."

There was a hint of smile in Chen Ke's voice, but this smile was very calm and confused.

"I don't know what I am doing."

"When I first came to Daqin, I just wanted to hang out."

"Of course, even now, I just want to hang out."

"Cook a pot of wine, lie down at home, look at the scenery outside, or get bored and distracted."

"This is more important to me than anything else."

Chen Ke paused and continued: "Today, after conferring Zen on Mount Tai with His Majesty, I looked at how graceful the mountains and rivers were, and felt a lot for Your Majesty."

He turned around and looked at Li Si with a calm expression.

"I don't know what I want or why. Maybe I just do it casually and for myself."

"I am an extremely selfish person."

Li Si looked puzzled: "Selfish?"

"Brother Chen, why do you say that?"

"Whether it's iron smelting, papermaking, or block printing."

"If you don't come up with these things, how can the world get them?"

He pointed to the paper in his hand and said, "If it weren't for Brother Chen, Li would still be using something bulky like bamboo slips at this time."

"How can it be so easy?"

"If it weren't for Brother Chen, how could Li write "Laws" and let Legalism spread throughout the world?"

"Brother Chen, aren't you a little presumptuous?"

Chen Ke stood up at this time, with an indifferent expression on his face.

He clasped his hands behind his back and looked outside the hall.

"No matter what it is, it's just to make my life more comfortable."

Chen Ke said sharply: "Don't you and His Majesty feel this way?"

"Otherwise, if I work a little harder today, you won't be so nervous and confused."

After hearing Chen Ke's words, Li Si didn't know how to answer for a moment.

At this time, a burst of heroic laughter sounded outside the hall.

"Hahahahahahaha, Chen Ke, Chen Ke, I'm not worried about your sudden hard work."

"I'm worried that you can't continue to work so hard."

Ying Zheng's figure appeared in front of Li Si and Chen Ke, his expression looking a little peaceful.

At this time, his face no longer looked confused, but instead had a slightly teasing smile.

"You naughty boy,"

Ying Zheng shook his head, sighed and said, "You suddenly started working hard. I thought you made some mistake."

"I'm still thinking of excuses for you."

"Who would have thought that you would slander me here."

Ying Zheng pretended to be cold: "You brat, let's see how I punish you in the future!"

Chen Ke and Li Si also looked a little surprised when they saw Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke: "If I didn't come, how would I know that you and Li Si were here to slander me?"

He was sitting casually in the main hall, looking very ordinary.

"Chen Ke, you don't have to say that you are a selfish person."

Ying Zheng had a look of indifference on his face: "How can a person not care about himself?"

"The reason why people are human is that they must first survive for themselves."

"First of all, you have to live a good life yourself before you can see other things around you."

"The same goes for me, the same goes for Li Si, and the same goes for you."

Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said, "So don't think so much."

He said jokingly: "It doesn't matter whether you were lazy before or hardworking now."

"As long as you, Chen Ke, are in Da Qin, there will be no problem."

"You are lazy, I can find someone to share the burden for you, and I can pressure you to work more."

"If you work hard, I can arrange more things for you."

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Everyone on the left and right is working for me, what else can I dislike?"

Chen Ke also smiled at this time and looked very calm.

"Your Majesty said this, I feel relieved."

He lay back for a moment, his face looking very lazy.

"Then I'll be lazy as ordered."

Li Si looked at Chen Ke like this, the corners of his eyes twitched, and there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

This guy...

Outside Qijun, by the river

People were pushed down to the river one by one. Tian Quexiang knelt down by the river and was tied up with big flowers.

His expression is normal.

A figure walked over from a distance, and when Tian Quexiang saw him, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Tian Cheng! How dare you come!"

Tian Cheng was wearing a gorgeous robe today and looked like a serious prince.

"Why don't I dare to come?"

Tian Cheng stood there, looking at Tian Quexiang in the distance, and said softly: "Today, I am thinking of you and my fellow countrymen, and I came here to see you off."

With that said, Tian Cheng took out an imperial edict from his sleeve.

"By order of the First Emperor"

"The Tian family's rebellion is a heinous crime that cannot be punished."

"Of course, in memory of Qi Hou's merits, I will grant amnesty to the nine Tian clans and only punish the first culprit."

"For the nine Tian clans, the men were sent to the army and the women were involved in the palace music department and became slaves."

Tian Cheng looked at Tian Quexiang with a very gentle look on his face, but his voice and words seemed very cruel.

"cut!"

Before Tian Quexiang could curse, the executioner on the side was already ready.

He raised the knife and dropped it, blood spilled all over the ground.

Dozens of heads rolled to the ground, and blood spilled into the river beside them, dyeing the water bright red.

At the same time, at the gate of Qijun City.
