When the bad news came, Zhao Hao was shocked at the time, and he was dizzy and collapsed directly to the ground.

Zhao Xing was shocked at the time, and picked up Zhao Hao: "Hurry up, hurry up and take my carriage home to see if the old lady is still saved." ”

At this time, Zhao Hao had no idea for a long time, so he climbed into Zhao Xing's carriage and rushed directly to his home without even caring about his son.

Zhao Hao's family is poor, and the clansmen who do not have a fief are equivalent to having no economic resources. And in this era, as a warrior, if you are not a soldier, you will not be supported by the state. As a pawn at the city gate, there is no chance to go to the battlefield, so there is no capture, and there is no reward for war exploits.

The meager amount of rice is symbolic.

And Zhao Hao is not recognized by the Zhao clan, and he will not drill the camp and not starve him to death, which is already blessed by God.

When Zhao Xing and Zhao Hao ran back to their home, there was no gate at the door, Zhao Hao's daughter-in-law was crying in fear, and half a bag of rice beside him, which was exchanged for the gate, was Zhao Hao's only wealth now.

I stumbled into the hall, and sure enough, I saw the old lady lying on the mat with her eyes closed, not angry at all, and a few kind neighbors put her here and stood aside to wipe her tears.

Zhao Hao threw himself over, lay on the old lady's body and cried: "Mother, mother, wake up." ”

But no matter how he called, the old lady could no longer answer, but looking at the old lady's face, with a slight smile, she walked very peacefully.

Zhao Xing saw that Zhao Hao was almost crying, and Zhao Xing stepped forward to persuade with tears in his eyes: "Let's mourn and change, let's arrange the old lady's funeral." ”

As soon as he was said this, Zhao Hao put away his tears and sat there stunned without saying a word.

In ancient times, people regarded death as life, and they may not be able to give their parents food and clothing during their lifetime, but they must achieve the greatest scenery after death. You can go hungry in life, but you can't do it after death. This concept has continued to the present in later generations, that is, the so-called unfilial piety in life and howling after death.

But before his death, the door panel was dismantled and the food for the night was changed, so that the old lady was starving. After death, there is no way to make the old lady beautiful. This is the greatest sorrow of being a filial son.

Of course, Zhao Xing knew his current situation, so he walked in front of the old man's body in a proper manner, and bowed down with the most solemn etiquette: "Son Zhao Xing, meet your mother." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

After Zhao Xing bowed three times, he stood up and said to Zhao Hao: "I am already the old lady's righteous son, please allow me to mourn behind the old lady as a righteous son." ”

Then Han Ce, who ran in with a fart, ordered: "Immediately, immediately, with the etiquette of the mother of the lord of the monarch, arrange the funeral immediately." ”

The funeral of the lord of the feudal lord, which is second only to the funeral of the monarch, is enough to make Zhao Hao grateful.

In those days, there was a dog butcher, because his friend gave him a funeral with his mother's etiquette, and in the end, he killed the enemy for his friend, and killed the king at that time, and then in order not to expose his friend, he stabbed his eyes with a sword, cut his face and died. It can be seen that the ancients repaid their righteousness and gratitude.

Since then, Zhao Hao, the future eight famous generals in the late Warring States period, has become Zhao Xing's follower.

In order to refute the rejection of talents by those conservatives of other vassal states, and to leave more talents for Zhao State, Zhao Xing deliberately wrote the famous "Book of Exhortations to Guests", which is a tampered version of Li Si's masterpiece "Book of Exhortations". The article has a profound idea, always focusing on the goal of "great unification", making arguments from the height of Zhao's unification of the world, positive and negative arguments, and taking both benefits and harms, showing the importance of using guests to strengthen the country. The whole text is eloquent and eloquent, and discusses the importance of introducing talents. The brilliant masterpiece made the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State like a Daigo empowerment, let the talents of the world worship Zhao Xingding, and let Zhao Guo boldly retain the talents from all over the world.

Handan's brightly lit post station gathers scholars and talents from all over the world who rush here to seek officials and self-recommend.

The first batch of high-ranking officials needed by the state has been selected, but the talents needed to improve the county system in various localities have been completed. At the beginning, every day, there were waiters from the Yellow Gate sent by the monarch, with a tall carriage, to a certain post station, standing at the door of the post station, and calling loudly inside: "A certain person in a certain country, a certain talent, is appointed by the widow to a certain official position in a certain county, please board the car and enter the palace, and accept the order of the widow himself——"

So, the original person who was still extremely down, immediately stepped into the sky, kicked on the car of the Son of Heaven high-spiritedly, no, now called the king's car, enter the palace in a grand manner, and once become a monarch and minister.

But no matter what, the Zhao State is so big, there are so many counties in the world, and the number of officials in the court and local is limited. In the end, there were fewer and fewer people who continued to board the king's car, and the disappointment of the talented people who flocked to the various vassal states became more and more intense. There are many scholars who are not selected, and feel that they have not met their talents, but finally choose to pack up and go home, and continue to look for other opportunities.

They are a group of ambitious people, they are never willing to be mediocre, they are a group of people who really want to be recognized in this world.

The king's carriage was scarce, but Dai Xingjun's carriage began to run in various post inns.

"Zhao Guoshi, false appearance, Daijun Zhao Fuzi, in order to stabilize the north of Zhao State, against the neighboring strong enemies, now recruit people of insight into the Daijun as officials, become Daixingjun's retainers, now inspect the Wei State Shizi, brave and strategic, courtesy to hire Daixingjun's retainers, in charge of the fiefdom lord's armed armaments, two thousand stones, please pedal Daixingjun to hire carriages and horses."

Zhao Xing's name is already a household name in Zhao State, and his various stories have become legends. At a young age, he was already honored as a master, on a par with the sages of the world. The scholars of the world are proud to worship under his disciples and be guests. It's just that this Master Zhao resolutely refused to accept guests, so that countless people wanted to become his disciples but couldn't.

Scarcity is precious, and the courtesy that he couldn't ask for suddenly landed on this Wei Yong's head, and he immediately gained a look of envy, and was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, thinking that Wei Yong, who had been buried since then, did not believe in his own experience at all, and did not believe that he could be hired by the world-famous Zhao Fuzi, and he was equivalent to Zhao Guoshang's doctor.

Under the constant reminders of several fellow villagers, after dropping the tattered luggage, this guy jumped up with a scream, rushed out of the gate directly, and then climbed into the car.

As a result, the person who was summoned grabbed it: "In order to show the sincerity of Dai Xingjun, please accept the robe and jade pendant." Then the attendant took out a set of black clothes and four jade pendants from the tray.

This Wei Yong was in front of the public, trembling and changing into clothes in court.

The style of the clothing is the same as that of the Shangshu of today's Zhao State, but the pattern is much simpler, and the same 4 jade pendants are much smaller, and the material is not expensive. This also shows the difference between the official rank of the feudal monarch and the official rank of the monarch.

But this is already the details, the details don't have to care, what I care about is that I have two thousand stones, and I have become an important minister of a feudal monarch, and I can show my talents.

This is really a person is dressed as a horse or a saddle, after changing his clothes, the original decadent and obscene guy immediately took on a new look, and the whole person completely changed.

Then he looked at a group of envious people, waved the sleeves of his robe, pedaled the car in great stride, sat proudly, and was sent into Dai Xingjun's mansion with squinting eyes.
