Sitting in the carriage, the envoy of the State of Chu was touring the scenery of the State of Wei.

This is not the first time that the envoys have come to the Wei State, these envoys are not sent at will, especially in the Chu State, Chun Shenjun has spent several years cultivating a group of shrewd envoys, cultivating them according to the Seven Kingdoms, such as the one who is now envoying the Wei State, he was originally a Wei person, he knows the customs of the Wei State well, and can speak fluent Daliang dialect, Huang Xie specially sent someone to tell him the situation of the domestic ministers of the Wei State, their character, and their characteristics.

And will personally teach him how to better display his eloquence, after all, in terms of eloquence, Chun Shenjun is indeed the most outstanding today, he persuaded Qin to withdraw his troops, and persuaded Qin Wang and Fan Ju to return to Chu safely, and in the next few years, he also relied on his outstanding eloquence to help Chu gain more benefits in diplomatic negotiations. Therefore, he valued these messengers and was willing to take the time to train them.

This messenger is called Zhai Liao, and his background is not low, but he has been away from Wei for a long time, and he has returned to Wei again at this moment, looking at everything he is familiar with, and his heart is full of mixed feelings. The envoys go to other countries, not only to convey the meaning of the monarch, they will also have other missions, such as observing the situation of other countries, recording the terrain, and even recruiting talents from other countries, and at this moment, Zhai Liao's mission also includes these.

He looked at the busy people on the road, it was not surprising, the Wei people have always been the most industrious, but when he saw the equally busy officials, he was a little uneasy, when did the officials of the Wei State become so diligent? He looked curiously at the officials who were running back and forth, some on horses, some on carriages, looking very eager.

Could it be that something big happened to the Wei State?

Zhai Liao deliberately stopped them from asking, but these officials came and went in a hurry, and they didn't seem to have any intention of entertaining this distinguished guest. Zhai Liao was a little helpless, but fortunately he finally met a young man who was not in a hurry, he hurriedly stopped the young man, the young man was not angry, hurriedly got out of the car, and met him, Zhai Liao exchanged a few words with him, and then asked: "I saw the officials on the road running back and forth, what happened in Wei?" ”

The young man looked at him in surprise and asked, "Looking at your clothes, how could you not know about this?" ”

Zhai Liao hurriedly explained: "I am studying abroad and have not returned to China for a long time. ”

The young man suddenly realized, and then said: "The lord takes the plain king as the appearance, and the plain king said: We must reward the wise officials. However, everyone did not take his words seriously, and after a few months, Pingyuan Jun suddenly summoned some local county officials, county officials, and village officials, personally held a banquet, entertained them, and used precious jade as their reward, and read their political achievements in public. ”

Subsequently, the virtuous officials in the county were recommended by Pingyuan Jun to Shangjun and stayed in Daliang. The virtuous officials in the county were promoted to the county, and the officials in the township were promoted to the county, and the officials understood that the plain king must do what he said, so they were anxious to make political achievements so that they could become the guests of the plain king. Speaking of these, the young man's eyes were full of admiration, and he shook his head and said, "When Pingyuanjun first arrived, many people in the country were still dissatisfied with him. ”

"But before a few months have passed, he has let the officials willingly for him to drive, and he has rewarded the people who cultivate more, give birth more, and weave more, and even the people of Wei are now scrambling to be busy, and there are no lazy people in the countryside, I have heard that wise people govern the country, and can bring about great changes through small things, and now it seems that Pingyuan Jun is such a wise person."

Zhai Liao listened to his admiration, and also smiled in response, the two said goodbye, and Zhai Liao continued to hurry. Sitting in the carriage, he frowned, his heart was full of curiosity about this newly appointed minister of Wei, before coming, Chun Shenjun had told him that this Pingyuan Jun was unfathomable, and he was the person he should worry about the most in Wei, and even told himself what he might ask about and how to answer him.

With this kind of uneasy heart, Zhai Liao was finally summoned by the King of Wei.

Before he arrived, the King of Wei was complaining to Longyang Jun, he looked at this empty palace, his palace, in the Sanjin Palace, was originally the most luxurious, but now, the treasures he owned, were taken by Pingyuan Jun and given to the officials of Wei, and even, even his sword, his collection of bamboo slips, was not spared. In the face of Pingyuan Jun's request, King Wei could only grit his teeth and endure the pain to him.

Therefore, when Long Yangjun came to accompany him, King Wei finally said aggrievedly: "The widow originally wanted to give you a few gifts, but the widow's palace was hollowed out by Pingyuan Jun, and there was nothing, even the widow's sword was taken by him and given to a county lieutenant who led the people to kill the thieves... You said earlier that as long as the widow trusts Pingyuanjun, the Wei State will be rich, but now that the Wei State is not rich, the widow is no longer rich..."

Long Yangjun snuggled in his arms, saw the aggrieved appearance of King Wei, and couldn't help but chuckle, his smile was so good-looking, King Wei couldn't help but look stunned, Long Yangjun said to him: "Shangjun, after Pingyuan Jun rewarded these officials, the officials who got the reward, are grateful to you, and are ready to serve you better. ”

"You used to have many treasures, but now that you have the warm support of the people and the sincere followers of the officials, isn't that a greater treasure? It seems to me that you have become richer ... It has always been your wish to make Wei strong and prosperous, are your treasures not as good as your ambition? Hearing Long Yangjun's question, King Wei gritted his teeth, wrinkled his face, and said helplessly: "You are right... But if the Plains King comes again, what will the widow do? ”

Long Yangjun covered his mouth and snickered, and said, "You can tell Pingyuanjun that you don't have any treasures anymore. ”

King Wei said bitterly: "This sentence, the widow has told him many times, at the beginning, he still knew to be a little restrained, but now, he took it directly if he saw something... The widow's heart aches... Forget it, forget it, the next time he comes, the widow will untie his clothes, and show him that the widow is already destitute, so he will simply take away the widow's clothes. ”

While they were chatting, they heard the news of the arrival of the envoy of the Chu State, Long Yangjun hurriedly got up and said, "I will go and invite Pingyuanjun to come, please meet the envoy, but don't promise him anything, just keep praising Pingyuanjun." King Wei was stunned for a moment, nodded, and then sent Long Yangjun away, and met the envoy from Chu in the main hall. The King of Wei was surprised to find that this envoy from the state of Chu was able to speak Wei fluently.

King Wei inquired about his origin, and only then did he know that he was from Wei, and King Wei laughed and became closer to him.

"Your Majesty, I have come to see you by royal decree of the Great King."

"Okay, you know what? Pingyuan Jun is currently serving as the minister of state in the Wei State! ”

"Uh... I know that Chu and Wei have always been close countries, and at present, the countries are fighting each other and conquests are continuous..."

"You're right, Pingyuanjun also told the widow like this, after Pingyuanjun came to Wei, he told the widow a lot of things..."

The two were chatting, Pingyuanjun, Longyangjun, and an old man slowly arrived here, King Wei hurriedly got up, kindly helped Pingyuanjun, and let him sit beside him, but the old man was standing behind Pingyuanjun, Longyangjun also sat not far away, and the messenger visited several of them. The King of Wei sat on the top seat, looked at Pingyuan Jun, and said, "The State of Chu has sent a messenger, please come and receive him." ”

Ping Yuanjun nodded, and then looked at Zhai Liao in front of him.

Zhai Liao looked at Pingyuan Jun and asked seriously: "The Seven Kingdoms are constantly conquering, and the countrymen have suffered countless casualties, I don't know what you think of this matter?" Pingyuanjun coughed, and said to him helplessly: "Not long ago, I was sick and has not yet recovered, so I can't say too much, so I should ask my pilot to discuss this matter with you." The messenger looked at the old man behind him in surprise. Search the e-book

The old man walked out with a smile on his face, and was about to bow down to Zhai Liao, but Zhai Liao hurriedly got up, not daring to accept the old man's salute. King Wei looked at Pingyuan Jun with some concern, wanting to say something, but Long Yangjun squeezed his eyes at him, and King Wei suddenly understood and stopped talking. Zhai Liao asked the old man again, and the old man sighed and said, "Every time I think of what you said, I feel painful." ”

Zhai Liao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The king is also worried about this matter, so he wants to make an alliance with the six countries to stop the war and prevent the people from continuing to suffer such disasters, what do you think of this matter?" The old man sighed and hurriedly asked, "May I ask if Qin Guo is also among them?" ”

"Of course, the Qin State has invaded the land of the Three Jin Dynasty many times, killing the people of Wei, Zhao, and Han, if he can also stop the war, it will also be a good thing for the Wei State."

"Then if the Qin State does not participate in the Covenant, or comes to attack the Wei State, what does the Chu State plan to do?"

"The State of Chu will convene the remaining five kingdoms to jointly assist Wei to defend against Qin."

"This is a good thing, if the Seven Nations Alliance, then who is the leader of the Alliance?"

"This will be discussed by the seven countries."

The old man laughed, this messenger's answer was really fast, it seemed that he had been taught in advance, how to answer, he suddenly asked, "Is Chun Shenjun's health okay?" The messenger was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Not bad." ”

"And where is the Alignment located?"

"It's... This is also something that the seven nations should discuss together..."

The old man began to ask questions quickly, which made the envoy a little flustered, the old man's words and deeds were a little weird, occasionally he would gently ask about the situation at the envoy's house, and occasionally sternly asked if there was any conspiracy in the Chu State, so he tossed for a long time, the old man sent the messenger away, let the envoy rest for a few days, the envoy walked out of the palace in a little dazed, and the old man sat in his place.

In this era, there were many schools of scholars, legalists who studied law, and Confucianists who preached benevolence, among which there was an alternative school called a famous scholar. The famous school, they are philosophical schools that take the form of thinking, the law and the relationship between name and reality as the object of study, so they are called famous scholars, of course, they also have other names in this era, called debaters, chasers. As the name suggests, they are a school of thought that can observe everything around them and are very good at debating.

And this old man, he is called Gongsun Long, is a representative figure of the famous school, once put forward the philosophical proposition that white horses are not horses, and he also has an identity, the disciple of Pingyuan Jun.

Xunzi was very disgusted with famous scholars, and once accused them of observing this and that all day long, but they couldn't make a decent summary, and they loved to engage in sophistry, but they couldn't come up with a strategy for governing the country, saying that they were the most useless scholars.

Gongsun Long looked at the King of Wei and Pingyuan Jun, and analyzed: "The State of Chu knows that the countries will not break out into war in the short term, so they want to draw up an alliance, tie the five countries to his chariot, and crusade against the Qin State together, he wants to be the leader of the alliance, lead the leader of the five countries, and use the power of the five countries to defeat the Qin State... Before the messenger came, Huang Xie must have taught him how to respond, sometimes he could answer quickly, sometimes he hesitated, from here you can see what Huang Xie cared about..."

"What he cares about is just to use the deterrence of the Qin State to force the countries to join him in resisting the Qin State... However, the Qin State is a greedy tiger wolf, and it is always at war, if it can be used by all countries to resist the Qin State, it will be a good thing...", Gongsun Long hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But if the Chu State does not want to unite to resist the Qin State, but to borrow the strength of other countries to resist the Qin State..."

"Does it make a difference?" , King Wei asked curiously.

"Of course...", Gongsun Long was about to speak, Zhao Sheng interrupted him, Gongsun Long is indeed the best at debating under his command, but this old man is always chattering, like to say something that no one understands, what white horses are not horses, what is from Jianbai, Zhao Sheng can't understand this, he doesn't want to listen, Gongsun Long saw his appearance, so he didn't say much, closed his mouth.

"This is something that is beneficial to the Wei State, and the Wei State just needs time to recover its national strength...", Zhao Sheng said seriously.

King Wei couldn't help but nod his head.

Zhao Sheng looked at Long Yangjun and said, "Please arrange the residence of the envoy, and in addition, send a warrior who can be trusted to protect his safety." Long Yangjun was very confused, Zhao Sheng explained: "Such an alliance is only bad for the Qin State, and the Qin State is an unscrupulous country, I am afraid that they will assassinate the envoys, break the covenant, and delay the covenant..."

Long Yangjun hurriedly walked out of the palace, and Gongsun Long also left with him, leaving only Zhao Sheng and King Wei in the palace.

Long Yangjun left his own guest to protect the envoy of the Chu State, arranged everything, and then returned to the palace, and as soon as he entered the palace, he saw the King of Wei who was sitting on the top seat, just wearing obscene clothes, trembling.

"Your Excellency... What's wrong with you? ”

"It's Plains-kun..."

"He really took the widow's clothes..."
