Seeing King Yan's thoughtful look, Guo Kui continued: "Great King, in the past, Wei Wenhou recruited talents, not only personally worshipping Zixia as his teacher, but also treating Tianzi Fang Duan Ganmu and several others with teacher courtesy, so that the world's talents can gather in Wei. ”

"Now that the king has been on the throne for three years, there are many talents in the world, and the king only treats the old ministers with a teacher's courtesy, although the ministers are grateful, but they are also worried that people of insight in the world will think that the king is following the example of the previous king to sell his reputation!"

Guo Kui's words suddenly made Yan Wangzhi's face change, Yan Wang's use of Yan Guo's reputation to fish for fame led to the destruction of Yan State, which has become a laughing stock in the world, if he also bears this reputation, then let alone recruiting talents, I am afraid that even the talents of his country will have to leave.

Yan Wangzhi immediately straightened his face, then seriously straightened his clothes, and arched his hand: "Please Mr. give me some advice." ”

Guo Kui shook his head and said: "Great King, there is nothing that the ministers can teach the Great King in this regard, if the Great King really wants to learn, he may as well learn from the late Wei Wenhou and the current King of Qi." When the kings of all the countries today, if they are compared to the ability to recruit talents, the kings of all countries are all tied together, and they are less than half of the king of Qi, if the king wants to recruit talents, he only needs to carefully consider the deeds of the king of Qi. ”

"This..." Yan Wangzhi hesitated: "It's just... Sir, even if the widow learns the King of Qi, but now that the King of Qi is famous all over the world, and the Jixia School Palace is even more full of great sages, how can the widow surpass the King of Qi? ”

Guo Kui suddenly hated iron and said: "Why is the king so confused, how old is King Qi now, how old is the king now, even King Qi's younger brother has died several times, how long can King Qi live." When the king of Qi dies and the king of Qi is newly established, can the new king of Qi compare with the king in terms of fame? ”

"Besides, there are many talents in the world, and the King of Qi is not able to catch them all, but there are still many depressed people in the Jixia School Palace. If the king can have half the ability of the king of Qi, can he still be careful that the talent will not come? ”

"Good!" Yan Wangzhi nodded solemnly.

Guo Kui saw that King Yan agreed, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The current Qi country is like a mountain pressing on the head of the Yan country, and the current king of Qi is recognized by the world as a bright monarch, the Yan country is weak, but the king of Yan has no self-knowledge, and he expresses his hatred for the Qi country everywhere.

This series of things is all the factor that Yan Guo was calculated this time.

Guo Kui is not restless, although he is not the Yan Kingdom, but he is indeed the teacher of the Yan King, if the Yan King is inspired to take revenge, but the result is destroyed by the Qi State again, then the Yan King and he will be laughed for eternity.

Thinking about it, Guo Kui took out a scroll of wooden tablets and presented it to King Yan and said: "King, this is the art of war that the ministers have carefully prepared for the king during this period of time, please take a look." ”

King Yan was stunned for a moment, and then took the wooden tablet from Guo Kui's hand in surprise, and saw that there were six big characters written on the outside of the wooden tablet: Gou Jian destroyed Wu's art of war.

After King Yan opened the book, the first sentence that caught his eyes was:

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored.

And then...

There is no then.

The rest of the wooden tablets were all blank.

Yan Wang's position was unknown, so he raised his head and asked Guo Kui: "Sir, this..."

It's just that seeing Guo Kui's expressionless face, as if he hadn't heard it, he could only read the book here a few times, and then, he suddenly remembered Guo Kui's previous suggestion, but he rejected it.

Suddenly I realized!

After a long time, Yan Wangzhi brushed his face with his sleeve, waited for a while, stabilized his mind, put down his hand, and said with a trilling voice: "The meaning of Mr. is unknown to everyone. ”

Guo Kui was unmoved, and asked, "I don't know what the king plans to do!" ”

Yan Wangzhi said: "The widow plans to let a few courtiers accuse the widow of using swords and soldiers when they go to court tomorrow, and then the widow will admit his mistakes to the ministers and the people, and go to the temple to confess his guilt." Later, the widow would send an envoy to the state of Qi to claim his vassal and cut off the three cities for the longevity of the king of Qi. In the future, the widow will use his father to serve the king of Qi before the Yan Kingdom conquers Qi, and will never mention the matter of fighting Qi from now on. ”

"In addition, the widow plans to select beautiful women to enter the palace in Yan Country to breed heirs..."

Next, Yan Wangzhi said a few more to show that he had received a setback, showing that he was discouraged and focused on the domestic strategy.

After a pause, Yan Wangzhi continued: "Yan Guo's attack on Zhongshan Kingdom this time is really rude, so the widow plans to send a messenger to apologize to Zhongshan King. ”

In addition, in order to thank the countries for their help, the widows will send envoys to each country to express their gratitude and strengthen ties with each country. Especially in the Zhao Kingdom, the King of Zhao not only set up the widow as the king, but also saved the Yan Kingdom in fire and water many times, so the widow is ready to declare himself a minister to the King of Zhao, and he is willing to take the King of Zhao as the head of the horse in the future. ”

Guo Kui nodded and said, "Good..."

On the other side, there was no word all the way.

When Xiong Huai returned to Yingdu, the prince Hengyu ordered Yin Jingli to lead hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him.

When he returned to the main hall of the meeting, Xiong Huai was only left with Prince Heng, Ling Yin Jingli, and Sikong Zhaoyu, and the rest of the ministers who greeted him were dismissed before entering the Chu Palace.

After kneeling on the throne, Xiong Huai asked with a smile: "Prince, two virtuous people, I don't know that in the year when the widow is out on the expedition, there will be major events in the country. ”

Jing Li, Zhaoyu and Yu did not speak, and the prince waited for a while and said: "Back to my father, during this year, thanks to the blessing of my father, nothing important happened in the country. ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai smiled, glanced at Jing Li Zhaoyu meaningfully, and then said: "If today, after this battle, the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin, and Yan will all be weakened, and the new upper county of Zhao will take a while to consolidate, and the vitality of Wei will still not recover, and the world will probably fall into a short period of calm in the next year." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai saw Jing Lizhaoyu nodding thoughtfully, and continued: "So during this time, the widow decided to accumulate strength and complete the final layout. ”

"Ling Yin!"

"The minister is here."

"Inform the important ministers of the court that in five days, the widow will hold a meeting of important ministers in the palace, please get ready."

"No."

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Zhaoyu and was about to ask some questions, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

But it was not seen for a year, Xiong Huai found that Zhaoyu had white hair and beard, and several wrinkles had appeared on his forehead, it seemed that this year, Zhaoyu suddenly aged a lot!

Xiong Huai suddenly realized that Zhaoyu had not only served as Ling Yin when he was the first king, but also served as Ling Yin for several years after his predecessor ascended the throne, and now that more than ten years have passed, how many years can Zhao Yu continue to work?

It's time to prepare a successor for Zhaoyu!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai opened his mouth and said: "Zuo Gong has his heart for the Chu State, and he has been a Chu person for generations, so he can participate in the court meeting in five days." ”

"Also, the rhino head is the commander of the widow's personal guard, and now he is cultivating in Yingdu, and he will invite the rhino head to come with him in five days."

Jing Li was silent for a moment, and responded: "Only! ”

In the end, Xiong Huai looked at the prince and said, "Prince! ”

The prince responded: "The son is here!" ”

"In five days' time, you will also come and listen."

The crown prince was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, father! ”
