Han Fei Zi was not taken seriously by the Chinese Emperor because he... had no formal education was too greedy had a stutter was poor

The correct answer is:<br /><br />**had a stutter**<br /><br />Han Fei Zi, one of the most prominent Legalist philosophers in ancient China, was known for his brilliant ideas and writings. However, he had a speech impediment (a stutter), which made it difficult for him to effectively communicate his thoughts verbally. This led to him being underestimated or not taken as seriously by some, including the Chinese Emperor. Instead, his ideas were primarily conveyed through his written works.
