"Li Si, in your view, among all the young masters, who most aligns with your heart? If you were to serve as a teacher to them," the King of Qin looked down at Li Si and suddenly asked, "would you be willing to provide instruction to one of the young masters?"

It was clearly an attempt to probe his stance on the various princes. Li Si turned the matter over in his mind, for the King’s question was indeed thorny.

As for Fusu, he already had many sages supporting him, and joining his ranks would hardly be notable.
Seeing Li Si’s silence, the King spoke again: "Among all my sons, whom do you truly favor?"
