King Qin Huiwen died, and the crown prince was the king of Qin Wu. King Wu of Qin did not like Zhang Yi, so he drove Zhang Yi, Wei Zhang and others out of Qin. King Wu of Qin was young and vigorous, strong in blood, and loved warriors. The warriors Meng Ben, Wu Xu, and Ren Cong were all reused and worshiped as doctors.

King Wu of Qin is powerful, he is also a first-class warrior of Qin, he likes to wrestle with warriors, Meng Ben, Wu Huo, Ren Contempt because he is the king of Qin, so when he tries to wrestle, he gives King Wu of Qin a point, King Wu of Qin sees that no one can beat him, and he is very happy and proud. Said: "Since ancient times, kings are not as good as widows with this divine power!" ”

King Wu of Qin was ambitious and had the intention of replacing the Zhou royal family, so he stepped up preparations and trained soldiers and horses, wanting to send troops to make Han Wei surrender first, and then swallow up the Zhou Dynasty and let the Qin State command the world. King Qin Wu once said: "The widow can visit Wan, Luo, and Yichuan in his life, and get a glimpse of the Zhou room, although he has no regrets in death!" The meaning of the words is to annex the land of Luoyang to the Qin State.

The king of Qin was ambitious and had the intention of annexing for two weeks, and the princes were shocked when they heard about it, but they were all afraid of the Qin state, so they ceded land and bribed them one after another in order to seek temporary peace.

Besides, King Yan Zhao, since returning to the country, was established as the monarch, cleaned up the chaos, rectified internal affairs, and stabilized the people, two years passed, the situation in Yan gradually stabilized, so Yan Jun officially called the king. King Yan Zhao tried to cheer up and revive the Yan Kingdom. It also formed an alliance with the Qin State and sent protons to each other.

King Yan Zhao had the support of Qin because he had a nephew relationship with King Qin Huiwen, and Qi and Zhao no longer dared to fight the idea of Yan State.

Yan was originally a country enclosed by Zhaogong in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, and the fief was in Jicheng, the earl, because it was located in the northern Xinjiang, so it was not a big country. However, by the Warring States Period, Yan was able to rank among the Seven Heroes, and its national strength was still much stronger than that of Song, Wei, and Zhongshan.

Among the Seven Heroes, Han, Zhao, and Wei were all split from the Jin State, and the Qi State was also replaced by the Tian family, and only the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu, and Yan have been followed, so the Yan State is the old vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, although the strength is relatively weak, but the seniority is long, and it can occupy a place in the world, and the influence is still great.

After King Yan Zhao returned to the kingdom and became king, he tried to cheer up and prosper, but he suffered from the fact that Yan was small, there were not many talents, and there was almost no material available in the country. So he was generously courteous, drove in a row, and went to Yanshan to visit Guo Kui in person.

Guo Kui is already old, and since he went to the throne and returned to seclusion, he and his family have farmed and fed themselves in Yanshan, not asking about the world, and living a life of teasing his grandson in his old age.

Zizhi was in power, the Yan people were not attached, the Qi division came to invade, and the Yan people died tens of thousands, Guo Kui heard about it, and sighed with a long sigh: "The old man has already abandoned the official lord, and only wants to live for the rest of his life." Now that the country is in such a troubled state, it is impossible to live the rest of your life in old age! ”

After the king of Zhao returned to the country as Yanjun, the villagers persuaded Guo Kui to come out again, to assist the new monarch, Guo Kui said: "The old decay will be seventy years, and there are not many days left." The new monarch has just been established, and he has his own virtuous and capable assistance, how can he be the turn of the old? ”

Not long after, Yan Jun really sent someone to invite, and Guo Kui excused himself with old age and decay. Later, someone persuaded Guo Kui: "After the chaos of Yan Kingdom, all the talents in the country have been lost, and the new monarch is newly established, and Guo Jun urgently needs to help, doesn't Guo Jun want to see the revival of Yan Kingdom?" ”

Guo Kui is not without the desire to revive the Yan Kingdom, but to observe whether King Yan Zhao can have the ambition to restore the country's shame, seeing that King Yan Zhao has cleaned up the chaos in a few years, stabilized the inside and outside, and has done a lot, so I believe that King Yan Zhao is not comparable to Yan Wang's son and son, and he really wants to make a difference. Only then did he sigh: "Yan Jun is young, and Yan Guo is expected to be a strong country." "It has the meaning of going out of the mountain to assist King Yan Zhao.

Not long, the king of Yan Zhao heard that Guo Kui was virtuous, so he personally came to Yanshan to hire, Guo Kui saw the king of Yan Zhao coming, greeted before the car, King Zhao saw it, hurriedly got out of the car, respected it with his son and nephew, and asked Guo Kui to get in the car, and he drove for Guo Kui with a whip.

Guo Kui received this courtesy, and his heart was greatly moved, and he immediately expressed his willingness to go out of the mountain to assist King Yan Zhao.

King Zhao hired him with a thick coin, invited Guo Kui to enter Jicheng, respected Guo Kui as a teacher, treated him with courtesy, and asked Guo Kui to say: "The widow is newly established, the talent and virtue are weak, and the people of Yan are scarce today, and the virtuous people are gone." Above the court, there is no mainstay. The widow wants to revitalize the Yan Kingdom, but he has no strategy, so he hereby consults Mr. Yu. ”

Guo Kui said: "If the king wants to strengthen the country, the shame of the past, the talent must be indispensable. Today, the king needs to recruit talents, and the monarch and ministers can help each other in order to prosper the Yan Kingdom. ”

King Yan Zhao said: "However, the widow has this heart for a long time, and when he heard that Mr. was virtuous, he wanted to worship Mr. as a national teacher, and entrusted the government of Yan Country to Mr. to govern." ”

Guo Kui said with a smile: "The old decay has sunset, how can you be so entrusted by the king?" And the old decay is only a little famous, and there is no virtuous talent, if the king uses the old decay to govern the country, I am afraid that it is the fate of the wood to seek fish. ”

King Zhao was stunned and said: "Sir doesn't have to be humble, few people know about Sir, the Yan Kingdom is so weak today, how can Sir sit idly by?" For the revival of the Yan Kingdom, I hope that Mr. will not spare his wisdom and work hard to govern the Yan Kingdom. ”

Guo Kui said: "The words of decay are not self-humble. And the king wants to revive the Yan Kingdom, and the old decay is safe and feasible? It is necessary to recruit heroes from all over the world to join in the great cause in order to achieve the long-cherished wish. ”

King Zhao asked: "Please give me advice, if you want to recruit talents from all over the world, will you come out?" ”

Guo Kui said: "The minister heard that there was once a monarch in the Jin Kingdom who loved Maxima, but he had never seen Maxima with his own eyes. So he ordered a subordinate to give him a thousand gold, and let him go and buy a horse for a thousand miles to come back. This man went to all the horse breeders in the country to look for a thousand horses, but he could not get them. One day, when he saw the crowd sighing and talking together, he went over to inquire about it, and it turned out that there happened to be a horse who unfortunately died of illness here, and everyone sighed at the horse's bones. So the man bought the horse's bones for five hundred taels of gold, and the people were amazed.

The minister returned home and saw the king, and the king was furious when he saw it, and rebuked him: "The widow ordered you to buy a thousand miles of horses, and you can buy a dead horse back today, and spend five hundred gold on the widow, so wasteful, dare to come back to see the widow!"

After that, you will punish your subordinates.

But the minister said, "Don't be angry, the king, please let the minister finish his words and then punish me." The reason why the minister bought this dead horse was precisely so that the king could get more living horses. The minister is buying bones with a thousand dollars, everyone will feel strange and surprised, and they will definitely tell each other, and the world knows that since the king even values the good horse that has died, let alone the real living BMW? So don't worry, the king promises that someone will be sent to the door with a thousand miles soon.

Sure enough, in less than a year, everyone in the country who had good horses came to see the monarch, and the monarch finally got two horses.

If the king wants to recruit talents, he can follow the story of buying bones with thousands of dollars. ”

When King Zhao heard this, he was very touched, so he said to Guo Kui: "The widow should listen to the words of the gentleman, corporal Lixian, and prepare to build a golden platform next to Yishui, so as to hire the wise men of the world." ”

Guo Kui said: "Very good, if the king builds a golden platform next to Yishui, in order to recruit the world's wise men, please start with the old minister!" Although the old minister is not talented, but the king is still so polite, if the wise men of the world hear about it, they will be like water flowing down from a high place to gather, and they will all belong to the king! ”

King Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Mr.'s plan to seek the country is slightly unavailable. Please be the first to go to the golden platform! Then worship Guo Kui as the national teacher, ordered to build a high platform next to Yishui, set up a luxurious and exquisite pavilion on the stage, and Taichung was covered with gold. First of all, please ask Guo Kui to be the first to live in the most exquisite and high-end building on the Golden Terrace, and pay him a generous gift.

The news that King Yan Zhao built the golden platform to honor Guo Kui, the Yan people heard it, they all ran to tell each other, and the people who came to watch in front of the Yishui Golden Platform were endless, and they all admired the gorgeous and exquisite golden platform, and the gift of King Yan to treat the virtuous was magnanimous. A few months later, it spread all over the world, and the news of King Yanzhao's honorable sages was heard from the Qin State in the west, the Chu State in the south, and the Qi State in the east.

Sure enough, within a few years, Le Yi from Wei, Zou Yan from Qi, drama Xin from Zhao, people from all over the world rushed to come to the command of King Yan Zhao, and Yan Guo then appeared a grand situation of talents, for a time like the wind, tigers, clouds and dragons, Yan quickly revitalized and became rich and strong, the country was rich, and the soldiers were strong and brave.

Since the king of Yan Zhao set up the golden platform, twenty-eight years later, Yan State with Le Yi as the general, united with the princes of Zhao, Wei, Chu and Han, led the troops to attack Qi, captured the seventy-two cities of Qi, almost wiped out Qi, and finally reported the shame of destroying the country before. After the destruction of Qi, the Yan Kingdom was unprecedentedly powerful, and King Yan Zhao also became the king of the world's wise gods and martial arts for a while.

When King Yan Zhao first returned to China, he was busy with national affairs and had no time to contact Xiaofeng for a while. At the beginning of King Zhao's return to China, the domestic situation was not stable, and the remaining party and the guests of Prince Ping were not willing to lose, but were ready to plot to assassinate King Zhao.

Zhu Shen always guarded King Zhao. One day, King Zhao went to the endless land to inspect the people, met several guests of Prince Ping, holding a sharp blade in his hand, protruding in front of the car, Zhu Shen saw it, so he protected himself in front of King Zhao's car, and threw out the iron cone in his sleeve, hitting the assassin, and the assassin died. When the rest saw this, they were all frightened and fled.

King Zhao praised Zhu Shen's courage and loyalty, so he took it as his confidant and stayed in the palace. One day, the court, King Zhao was sleepy, resting in the palace, one of the confidants of the former son, had been deceived and submitted to King Zhao, under the pretext of playing secrets, came to King Zhao's bedroom, was about to use the incense burner on the palace to smash King Zhao, Zhu Shen suddenly jumped out of the palace, shouted, the man saw Zhu Shen coming, there are still more than ten steps away, at this time it is still too late to smash King Zhao, but the person was shocked by Zhu Shen's might, and he didn't care about assassinating King Zhao, he was shocked, the incense burner in his hand fell to the ground, and King Zhao woke up. Zhu Shen stepped forward to capture this person, and King Zhao asked, "Why did you assassinate the widow?" ”

The assassin said: "Cannibalism, the matter of the dead, you are not my king, I did this to repay the old master." If it weren't for Zhu Shen's appearance, I would have succeeded. ”

After King Zhao asked what happened, he praised Zhu Shen and said, "If it weren't for Zhu Xiake, the widow would have died at the hands of the assassin today." Then he exiled the man to the north of the endless mountain, never to return to Jicheng, and the assassin said: "The sin of assassinating the king is unforgivable, how can you hope to live?" He died of hunger strike in prison.
