In 1044 B.C., after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, King Wu of Zhou sealed his younger brother Ji Zheng in Yandi, which was for Yan Zhaogong, and the Yan Kingdom was formally established.

Since its establishment, the Yan State has been at the forefront of resisting the invasion of nomadic peoples such as the Shanjung, the Xiongnu in the north and the Donghu in the northeast. In Ji Kang's original world, until the destruction of the Yan Kingdom more than forty years later, the army of the Yan State was still fighting with the Northern Xiongnu and the Eastern Hu until it was destroyed.

In his previous life, Ji Kang's highest official position was only the head of Yizhengke Township, although he was also a history fan, he didn't know much about the history of Yan Kingdom, and he didn't have too many feelings at that time.

But when he came to this world inexplicably, and his identity was still Kang, the grandson of King Yan, he felt the tragedy of the entire dynasty of Yan Kingdom.

In the more than 800 years of history of this dynasty, most of the time, it did not participate in the civil wars of the Central Plains countries, but went north or northeast to open up territory for the Central Plains Dynasty.

You can call him stupid, you can call him stupid, and you can laugh at this dynasty. But you must always remember that at the last moment of the fall of this dynasty, he did not forget the responsibility of his country, and still dutifully guarded the land of the Central Plains, without allowing the slightest invasion of foreign races.

As soon as the old manager entered Ji Kang's house, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him.

"Childe, this kang is really good, this winter, the old slave has not suffered as in previous years." Ji Mao looked at Ji Kangdao, who was playing with Wangcai on the fire.

"A little gadget can't be elegant. Uncle Ji, it's Xiangguo Gongsun Cao, where is the news? ”

"Yes, Childe. The old slave admires it very much! Su Qing, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, sent a message, Xiangguo Gongsun Cao, ask you to meet you in Mingyue Tower the day after tomorrow. ”

"Okay."

Restaurants and hotels, both ancient and modern, should be without exception, and the best rooms are reserved for the most powerful or wealthy guests.

Of course, the same is true for Mingyue Tower.

When Ji Kang walked into this elegantly decorated and antique room. I saw a tall, white-haired old man carrying him, opening the window and looking at the street scene of Jidu outside.

"Boy Ji Kang, meet Xiangguo."

Ji Kang bowed to the old man.

"Master Ji Kang, the old minister deserves your gift!"

The old man standing in front of the window slowly turned around and said.

"Xiangguo deserves, and the immature children still need to be taught by Xiangguo."

Ji Kang stood up and looked at the old man who turned around and was wrinkled and looking at him with sharp eyes.

"You're not just a young kid. As a son, his status is noble; Improving wheat and bean crops is for the benefit of the people and for the country. Childe asked Su Qing to pass the word to make an appointment, please tell me something. ”

"Xiangguo, naturally, it's about the future of the kid. The kid is willing to divide Liaodong and is not willing to be a hostage, please decide Xiangguo as soon as possible. ”

Ji Kang said directly.

Gongsun Cao looked at Ji Kang, "hehe" sneered twice:

"This is a matter of the king and the son's family, how dare the old minister decide?"

Sangkook laughed. Sangkook has already decided once, so he can naturally decide on a second time. ”

"Boy, you're so arrogant."

Gongsun Cao was a little angry and slapped his hand on the table.

Isn't that a slap in the face? Is there such a request? You kid, do you know how to ask someone to do something?

"The kid is not arrogant, can you want to ask Xiangguo a question? Then Xiangguo will decide separately whether to take care of the boy's business. ”

Gongsun Cao glared at Ji Kang fiercely and said:

"Say it."

"The kid thinks that this Yan country is not the world of the monarch alone, but you, me and even the people of the Yan country, the common world, I don't know the country, do you agree?"

Gongsun Cao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ji Kang meant.

Standing up in surprise, looking at the standing in front of him, like a New Year's doll, looking at his immature child with a pair of clear eyes, speechless for a long time.

"Childe, please be seated."

"Xie Xiangguo."

"Ji Kang Gongzi, the old minister also wants to ask you a question?"

"Please inquire about Xiangguo."

"No matter what I said. What do you think of my murder? ”

"Xiangguo, the great-grandson does not say anything about the great-grandfather. But the kid thinks that if the kid is in the position of Xiangguo, according to the situation at that time, he will do the same thing as Xiangguo. ”

"Haha, the old man never thought that a son would be better than many people with high crowns and beards above the court! Ji Kang Gongzi, you should be the old man's confidant! ”

This is a confidant, Ji Kang blinked his eyes.

Watching his hands tremble slightly. The old Xiangguo who walked slowly in the room.

All right! You are the biggest, you say that a confidant is a confidant.

"Yes! As a scholar, who is willing to leave a name of killing a monarch in the records of historical books. ”

"But is this the old man's fault?"

"Among the countries of the world, in order to fight against the alien race and Dihu, since the founding of the country, it has always developed in the direction of the north and northeast, and among the remaining seven countries in the world today, the national strength has always been weak."

"It wasn't until your great-grandfather appeared, forging ahead and recruiting talents, that the national strength gradually became stronger."

looked at the old Xiangguo, whose face was full of red light, immersed in the memories of the past.

Ji Kang picked up the copper buds filled with rice wine on the table and tasted them from afar.

"Under the leadership of your great-grandfather, from Guo Huai, Zou Yan to Le Yi, Ju Xin, and then to the old man, which one is not painstaking! Which one is not to do your best! ”

"After more than 30 years and the efforts of two or three generations, Yan Guo finally came out of the predicament and began to become strong."

"Qin Kai cut down Hu and opened up more than 2,000 miles of territory to the north; Le Yi fought Qi and Qi more than 70 cities, and saw that it was completed. I never thought that your great-grandfather would die of illness, and your great-grandfather Ji Lezi would ascend the throne. ”

Looking at Xiangguo, who has begun to be angry, and Ji Kang, who is familiar with this history.

I could only sigh lightly: "God doesn't bless Yan." ”

"Yes! God does not bless the Yan, God does not bless the Yan! ”

"After your great-grandfather ascended the throne, he ignored the country's major affairs, forced Le Yi to escape from Zhao State, and Guan Zou Yan was imprisoned, so that the war against Qi was a failure. As the prime minister of Yan State, the old man persuaded each other hard, he never thought about your great-grandfather, and he wanted to capture and kill the old man and destroy the old man. ”

Gongsun Cao closed his eyes, and his eyes seemed to remember that back then, he was so lonely and depressed, and he was afraid that he would never be able to go home every day, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Although the old man has selfish intentions, he can't help himself. For the Yan country and the family, you can only kill the king. Ji Kang Gongzi, can you understand? ”

"Xiangguo, the kid still says the same thing: great-grandchildren don't say anything about great-grandparents. But if the boy was in the position of the prime minister at that time, he would also do what the prime minister did. ”

"And the boy has always thought that if the king of this world cannot let his people have enough food and clothing, let his people have the support of the young, the old age, and the cure. Then he is not worthy to be a king, so let others do it well. ”

Looking at Ji Kang's eloquent talk, Gongsun Cao couldn't believe that this son was a descendant of the Ji family.

"Then may I ask Childe, what do you think of the current situation in the world?"

"Old Xiangguo, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, several generations of kings have worked hard to unify the world. Now the King of Qin worships Fan Sui as the prime minister, and my Yan State must be the first country to win over and use it to contain the Zhao State. If it goes on like this for a long time, it will be in vain to consume the national strength of my Yan country, and it will be dangerous! ”

Ji Kang didn't want to say anything more, just clicked to the point.

Gongsun the muscles on his face, trembling slightly.

In Ji Kang's previous life, this was a very simple question, but it hit the old man's heart like a stormy wave.

"Dare to ask Childe, how should my Yan Kingdom respond?"

"In the long run: we need to change the system, open up wisdom, enrich the country, and strengthen the army. Near: build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down the struggle for hegemony. ”

Gongsun Cao sat quietly, thinking carefully about Ji Kang's words, looking at Ji Kang as if looking at a treasure.

"The matter of the Chamber of Commerce, the old man knows the wisdom of the son; Now I see the ambition of the son again. It's really your great-grandfather's style, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that the old man ......."

looked at Ji Kang, then slowly closed his eyes, and said softly:

"The old man also knows about the child's affairs."

Ji Kang slowly stood up, bowed, and said:

"Thank you Xiangguo, please leave the boy's affairs to Xiangguo."

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Gongsun Cao before he said slowly:

"But today, the boy also promised to be in the country. A hundred years after the Xiangguo, in addition to plotting rebellion and treason, the kid will ensure the health of the descendants of the Xiangguo family for a hundred years. ”

Gongsun Cao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ji Kang with a solemn face.

Slowly stood up and bowed to Ji Kang:

"Thank you, old man."
