Chapter Twenty-Four: Emperor Yibu Qin (II)

Lu Zhonglian and Xin Yuanyan are extremely familiar with the occasion of this "debate."

At the beginning of the debate, everyone thought that Mr. Lu Zhonglian would inevitably take the lead in questioning Xin Yuanyan as people usually heard.

But I didn't expect that in this debate, Mr. Lu Zhonglian just looked at Xin Yuanyan with a smile, stretched out his hand, and put on a "please" gesture, letting Xin Yuanyan speak first.

Xin Yuanyan bowed to Lu Zhonglian and said, "Sir, I regard those who live in this besieged city as having a request for the Plain Monarch; Now I look at the jade appearance of Mr., if you don't want to ask for the king of the plains, why don't you live in this besieged city for a long time, and don't go? ”

Lu Zhonglian bent down and saluted back: "Everyone in the world thinks that Bao Jiao died without a broad mind, and Zhonglian thinks that the world's views are wrong." Everyone doesn't know his intentions to live in the turbid world. Therefore, the world thinks that he is planning for his own personal purposes. ”

Bao Jiao, a hermit during the Zhou Dynasty, he was dissatisfied with the current politics, honest and self-controlled, escaped into the mountains and forests, and spent all day collecting firewood, picking up acorns to satisfy hunger, hugging trees and dying! Its loyalty and martyrdom are as famous as Jie Zitui!

Lu Zhonglian continued to say to Xin Yuanyan: "That Qin State is called "Violent Qin" by people all over the world. It is a country that abandons etiquette and only admires military exploits. Treat the soldiers with the art of power and deceit, and serve the people like slaves. ”

"If you let King Qin Yingji unscrupulously claim the title of emperor, and then rule the world. Then I can only jump into the East China Sea and die, and I will not be his obedient people. That's why I came to see the general, because I planned to help Zhao Guo. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhong paused and said to Xin Yuanyan: "Mr. Xin, what you said here is right, right?" ”

Xin Yuanyan grabbed Lu Zhonglian's final conclusion and said to Lu Zhonglian:

"Sir, what you said is true of the situation of the Qin State, but how can you help the Zhao State?"

Lu Zhonglian smiled and said to Xin Yuanyan:

"I want to ask Wei and Yan to help it, Qi and Chu have already helped Zhao."

Xin Yuanyan nodded and said to Lu Zhonglian: "Yan Guo, I believe I will obey you; As for the Wei State, I am a native of the Wei State, how can Mr. let the Wei State help the Zhao State? ”

Lu Zhonglian flicked his sleeves at Xin Yuanyan and said: "Wei didn't help Zhao because he didn't see the scourge of Qin as emperor. After letting Wei see the scourge of Qin's proclamation as emperor, he will definitely help Zhao. ”

Xin Yuanyan couldn't help asking: "Sir, I don't know what calamities can Qin can have after being proclaimed emperor?" ”

Lu Zhonglian laughed and said: "In the past, King Qi Wei once pursued benevolence and righteousness, leading the princes of the world to worship the Son of Zhou. At that time, Zhou Tianzi was poor and weak, and none of the princes went to worship, only Qi went to worship. ”

After more than a year, King Zhou Lie died, King Qi was late for the funeral, and the new successor King Zhou Xian was very angry, and sent someone to Qi to report the funeral: "The death of the Son of Heaven is like a major event like the collapse of the heavens and the earth, and the new successor to the throne of the Son of Heaven also has to leave the palace to mourn and keep filial piety, sleeping on the straw mat, and Tian Yingqi, the minister of the Eastern Dependent State, dares to be late, and should be beheaded." ”

When King Qi Wei heard this, he was furious and scolded: "Woo! And mother, maid also! In the end, it was rumored to be a laughing stock by the world. King Qi Wei went to see Zhou Tianzi when he was alive, and when he died, he scolded him, he really couldn't bear the harsh demands of the new emperor. It is not surprising that those who are sons of heaven are like this. ”

Su Dai and the others in the hall, after hearing Lu Zhonglian's words, said in unison: "Cai." ”

Xin Yuanyan said to Lu Zhonglian with an ugly face: "Sir, haven't you seen a slave?" Ten slaves serve a master, but are they not able to match him in strength and intelligence? I'm afraid of him. ”

Lu Zhonglian sighed and said to Xin Yuanyan: "May I ask Mr. Xin, is the King of Wei like a servant compared to the King of Qin?" ”

Aragaki replied, "Yes." ”

Lu Zhonglian smiled coldly and said to Xin Yuanyan: "Then, I will let King Qin cook King Wei and chop it into meat sauce?" ”

Xin Yuanyan was very unhappy, and smiled at Lu Zhonglian: "Hey! Sir's words are too much! How could the gentleman let the King of Qin cook the King of Wei and chop it into meat sauce? ”

Lu Zhonglian laughed and said to Xin Yuanyan:

"Of course, I'll tell you. In the past, the Nine Marquis, the Ehou and the King Wen were the three princes of Yin. Jiuhou had a daughter who was beautiful and dedicated her to Yin Xuan, who thought she was ugly and chopped Jiuhou into meat sauce. ”

The Hou just admonished him, argued fiercely, and killed the Hou and made it into jerky. When King Wen heard this, he only sighed long, and Yin Xun imprisoned him in the prison of Jinli for another hundred days, wanting him to die. Why did he claim the same king as others, and finally fell to the point of being chopped into meat sauce and made into jerky? ”

"King Qi went to the country of Lu, and Yi Weizi drove the car for him as an attachΓ©. He said to the officials of the Lu State: "How are you going to receive our king?" ”

The officials of the Lu State said: "We plan to receive your monarch with the etiquette of ten pairs of eunuchs." ”

"Yi Weizi said, 'Where did you receive our king according to the etiquette, and my king is the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven went to inspect various countries, the princes should move out of the main palace, move elsewhere, hand over the keys, lift up their clothes, arrange a few tables, and stand under the hall to serve the Son of Heaven for dinner. ”

"When the officials of the Lu State heard this, they closed the lock and did not let King Qi enter the country."

"King Qi can't enter the Lu Kingdom, and plans to go to Xue Land through the Zou Kingdom."

At this time, the king of Zou passed away, and the king wanted to enter the mirror to mourn, Yi Weizi said to the heir of Zou State: "The Son of Heaven is mourning, and the mourner must change the direction of the coffin, and place the spiritual seat facing north in the south, and then the Son of Heaven faces south to mourn." The ministers of Zou said: "It must be like this, we would rather kill ourselves with a sword." ”

"So King Qi didn't dare to enter the Zou Kingdom."

"The courtiers of Zou and Lu, the monarch could not serve well during his lifetime, and the monarch could not help the funeral ceremony after his death, but they wanted to perform the gift of the Son of Heaven in Zou and Lu, and the courtiers of Zou and Lu finally refused to enter the mirror of King Qi."

"Today, Qin is a country with 10,000 chariots, and Wei is also a country with 10,000 chariots."

"They are all great powers, and they all have the title of king, just to see that he won a battle, they must obediently support him as emperor, which makes the ministers of the Three Jin Dynasty inferior to the slaves and concubines of Zou and Lu."

"If the Qin State is not greedy enough and finally becomes emperor, then the ministers of the princes will be replaced. He is going to remove those whom he considers unworthy and replace those whom he considers virtuous, and those whom he abhors shall be replaced by those whom he loves. ”

"If he also wants his children and concubines to marry the princes as concubines and live in the court of Wei, how can the king of Wei live in peace? And you, general, how can you get the favor you used to be? ”

After everyone in the hall listened to Lu Zhonglian's words, they couldn't help but shout, "Cai." ”

Xin Yuanyan also stood up at this moment, bowed to Lu Zhonglian twice, and said to Lu Zhonglian: "I thought that Mr. was an ordinary person, but I only learned today that Mr. is an outstanding master in the world. ”

"I will leave the Zhao Kingdom, and I don't dare to talk about King Qin's claim to be emperor again."

After that, Xin Yuanyan left Handan with his entourage and went back to Wei.

Ji Kang's uncle, Zhao Wangdan, was full of emotion after hearing about this!

When the Qin army besieged Handan, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, faced this mess in the country, was full of remorse.

In the Battle of Changping, the loss of troops was 450,000, the national strength was greatly damaged, and the vitality was greatly damaged. The day the city is broken, that is, the day the country is destroyed.

I was expecting Wei to send troops to help, but I didn't expect that Wei's 100,000 troops, stationed in Yecheng south of Handan, did not come. Instead, the king of Wei sent Xin Yuanyan, an envoy, to make the king of Zhao respect Qin as emperor.

Zhao Wangdan was indeed hesitant at this time.

If you fight hard, you don't have much certainty of winning, go and respect the King of Qin as the emperor, and it is a bit of a thief as a father, not to mention the ministers of the court, that is, the subjects of the whole country, will you do it? If you don't do it, how can the siege of the tiger and wolf army under the city be solved?

But Mr. Lu Zhonglian, this time, finally strengthened Zhao Wangdan's determination to resist the Qin army to the death.

So King Zhao wanted to reward Lu Zhonglian, but Lu Zhonglian resigned repeatedly, but finally refused to accept it.

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, set up a banquet to entertain Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai two gentlemen, when the wine was hot, Pingyuan Jun got up and went forward, and offered a thousand gold to thank Lu Zhonglian, but Lu Zhonglian also insisted on not accepting.

At this time, Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai happened to receive a letter from Ji Kang, asking them to return to Xiangping immediately.

Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, together with King Zhao and others, said goodbye and returned to Liaodi.

Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai, two gentlemen, sent Zhao Guo this time, not only signed an agreement with Zhao State, but also wanted to return to Zhongyang County and other eight cities.

More importantly, it dispelled the line of appeasement and capitulation within Zhao, and strengthened the determination of the Zhao army and people to resist the Qin army.

In particular, the debate between Mr. Lu Zhonglian and Xin Yuanyan is famous all over the world.

After this debate, Mr. Lu Zhonglian was praised as a "righteous man" by the people of the world!

When Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai returned to Xiangping City, Ji Kang took the ministers of the Marquis Mansion and went out of the city for ten miles to greet the triumph of the two gentlemen.

At the welcome banquet, Liaocheng Jun Jikang improvised a poem "Ancient Style" to praise Mr. Lu Zhonglian.

As soon as this poem spread, it was widely circulated and praised by later generations, and was considered to be a representative work of the early stage of five-character poetry.

And Ji Kang is considered by the world to be the founder and founder of the five-word rhythm poem!

Many years, many years have passed, and in the center of the square at the gate of Xiangping College, there is a group of five-person statues. This group of statues is a commemoration of five people who made outstanding contributions to the establishment of Xiangping College.

In the center is a statue of a heroic, young man.

Behind him is the statue of Mr. Lu Zhonglian, with fluttering sleeves and a scroll in his hand, smiling, like the young man in front, looking at the northeast land and the vast Central Plains in front of him.

And below the statue of Mr. Lu Zhonglian, there is a carving of this "Ancient Style" written by Ji Kang, which reads:

Liao has a suave life, and Lu Liante is wonderful.

The bright moon rises from the bottom of the sea, and once it shines.

But Qin Zhenying's voice, the future generations looked up to the end.

Meaning a light gift, Gu Xiangyuan smiled.

I am also a, and the clothes can be the same.
