Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

"So Your Majesty summoned me here to tell me that you've hesitated?"

Under Tang Yu's somewhat disdainful gaze, Ying Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable, but ultimately nodded.

"Sir, it's not that I'm hesitant, but I feel the current situation is not stable enough. If we rashly implement reforms and encourage a large-scale backlash, it might cause the future you foresee to happen sooner than expected!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's concerns, Tang Yu nodded. What the other party said made sense. He could only say that Ying Zheng was indeed worthy of his name, as he had even thought of this.

If you put a brainless emperor in charge, he would immediately implement the suggestions and then, because he was too ambitious, he would suffer losses, or even cause the reforms to be exposed and die before they were even started.

Fusu and Meng Tian, ​​who were following behind them, looked at the two in shock. Qin Shi Huang did not refer to himself as "Guaren" (寡人), but as "I" (我).

Clearly, his conversation with Tang Yu was not about status, but about their relationship. It was the first time they had ever seen Ying Zheng show such a humble and eager-to-learn expression after unifying the six kingdoms.

Tang Yu glanced at Fusu behind him, who was standing there solemnly, and suddenly felt like teasing him. He then said:

"Fusu, go pour me a glass of water. The first glass must be boiling water, and you must drink it for me. Then bring me the second glass."

Fusu, who was about to pour water for Tang Yu, suddenly froze on the spot, looking somewhat bewildered.

"If I were to drink this boiling water, I'm afraid I would lose my voice!"

Under the questioning gazes of Ying Zheng and Meng Tian, ​​Tang Yu nodded directly and said:

"I think you have a point. You really don't want to drink that glass of boiling water, right?"

Fusu nodded with a bitter face. Seeing this, Tang Yu did not insist any further, appearing to be thinking of Fusu's best interests.

"In that case, why don't you go and pour yourself a cup of very hot water and drink it?"

Upon hearing this, Fusu immediately nodded without hesitation. Compared to boiling water, hot water was simply heaven!

When Fusu actually went to pour hot water, Tang Yu did not stop him. He turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Ying Zheng in front of him.

For a moment, Ying Zheng's expression was somewhat taken aback, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Sir, you are truly a man of great talent! I, Ying Zheng, have learned a great deal!"

While the two were posing as riddle solvers, Fusu, who was still pouring water, and Meng Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Your Majesty, please do not worry. There is another method, and it will be even more effective if used in conjunction with this."

Under Qin Shi Huang's expectant gaze, Tang Yu stopped Fusu, who was about to drink a cup of scalding water, and took the cup from him.

"Go and pour me another cup of hot water. Meng Tian, ​​go and bring me two cups of cold water."

Zheng Ge: You're the master of maintaining a balance?

After the cold water was brought over, Tang Yu looked up at Ying Zheng, poured a little cold water into the hot and cold water mixture, and pushed the cup directly towards Ying Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, want a bite?"

Ying Zheng looked at the steam rising from above, shook his head with a wry smile.

"Sir, you've poured a little cold water on me, I really can't feel it!"

Tang Yu nodded upon hearing this, took out another cup filled with hot water, and poured another cup of cold water into it, instantly filling the cup.

Tang Yu pushed the cup towards Ying Zheng again, "Brother Zheng, can we drink this?"

Ying Zheng picked it up and took a long sip.

"The texture is just right, perfectly balanced."

"In that case, can Your Majesty feel that the water has gotten cold?"

Ying Zheng nodded, somewhat stunned.

"If someone pours such a large glass of cold water into hot water and still can't notice, wouldn't they be incredibly dense?"

"Yes, such a big change would be noticed by anyone. In that case, how about this?"

Tang Yu started adding cold water little by little to the hot water. Each time, the water temperature seemed to drop, even though there was no change.

Before he knew it, Tang Yu had finished pouring a glass of water. He then looked up at Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, do you feel that the changes are significant each time?"

Not only did Ying Zheng realize this, but Fusu, who was standing next to him, also couldn't help but shout it out.

"Teacher, are you saying that if the changes are small and slow enough, people simply won't be able to react?"

Looking at the astonishingly handsome Fusu, Tang Yu nodded and continued to look at Ying Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, this is the key element of this reform. Sometimes, slow is fast. Similarly, if you want him to accept something that is hard to accept, you just need to create something else that is even harder for him to accept."

After hearing this, Fusu and Ying Zheng looked at each other, each with only one thought in their minds.

So even the gods play these scheming games every day?

After deciding on his reform strategy, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of his close friend Li Si. He really didn't know what to do, so he looked up at Tang Yu.

"Mr. Tang, then according to your opinion, how should Li Si make a decision?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Tang Yu sighed inwardly.

"Your Majesty, why do you only ask Li Si and not Zhao Gao?"

This rhetorical question resolved all of Qin Shi Huang's doubts. The reason he only asked Li Si was that he didn't want Li Si to die. As for Zhao Gao, he could die wherever he wanted!

"Your Majesty, I know that you and Prime Minister Li have a deep bond and have supported each other all the way, creating the vast Qin Kingdom together."

"But sometimes people's hearts are fickle. Perhaps one day Prime Minister Li will do such a thing, but that is only in the future. Right now, he is still loyal to His Majesty and to you."

"Moreover, as the head of the Legalist school, if we do our job well and he helps us, the difficulty for His Majesty to carry out reforms will be greatly reduced, won't it?"

This statement was not only from the perspective of reform, but also Tang Yu gave Ying Zheng an excuse and a way out to keep Li Siming.

Tang Yu himself felt that rather than killing Li Si, it would be better to let him continue to contribute to the Qin state for the rest of his life and atone for his sins in another time and space.

"Since that's the case, then I will heed the Imperial Advisor's advice and spare his life for now!"

Looking at Ying Zheng's face, which was filled with relief and arrogance, Tang Yu remained silent. He suddenly discovered that something new had appeared in his system space.

After taking a look, I realized that it seemed to be the sweet potatoes and potatoes that I often ate last time?

Only then did he remember that he hadn't yet brought out his cement for Brother Zheng, and he immediately said excitedly:

"Since you're planning to implement reforms, Brother Zheng, I happen to have a few things I'd like to give you!"

Ying Zheng was extremely excited upon hearing this, since Tang Yu had only brought out two things: the S686 with the power of a thunderbolt and a special medicine for heart disease.

Each of these items was a divine object to people today. Under Ying Zheng's expectant gaze, Tang Yu took out a sweet potato, a potato, and a small bag of cement.

Under Ying Zheng's questioning gaze, Tang Yu began to explain.

"These two things are called potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they can both..."
