"The king, the minister has sent Zou Zi to the Taifu Mansion, and has informed the Taifu that the king has decided to let Zou Zi teach in Taixue." Chen Zhen saluted.

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded.

After Xiong Huai and Zou Yan sighed before, Zou Yan decided to take refuge in Chu on the spot.

In this regard, of course, Xiong Huai would not refuse, and directly asked Chen Zhen and Zou Yan to go to Taifu Huanyuan together, and let Zou Yan teach in Taixue, teaching students while promoting his doctrine.

Zou Yan's doctrine, no matter what, was a doctrine that was extremely beneficial to the state of Chu. In the case that other countries refused to recognize the existence of the Black Emperor, the emergence of the Five Virtues Doctrine gave the Chu State, which had already believed in the Black Emperor, a great advantage.

At this time, Xiong Huai smiled and said, "Since Zou Zi has already made arrangements, then we can move on to the next step." Xianqing immediately arranged for people to preach the doctrine of the end of the five virtues everywhere in the Chu State, and told the people of the whole country that according to the theory of the end of the five virtues, with the protection of the Black Emperor, the next person to replace the Zhou family must be my Chu State.

Also, the Qi side can't relax, and let the Qi people know that it was Qi Wangdi's narrow-mindedness that couldn't tolerate the doctrine he didn't like, so he drove Zou Yan away.

And the widow I respect the virtuous and close to the ability, the sea is inclusive, and the comers do not refuse, and I have left Zou Zi in the Taixue of Chu State, and I have given Zou Zi the treatment of Doctor Zou. ”

Chen Zhen nodded: "It's the king, the minister will arrange it." ”

After Chen Zhen left, Xiong Huai couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Since knowing the news of Zou Yan's arrival in Chu, Xiong Huai began to plan this matter with Chen Zhen.

On the one hand, it vigorously propagated the doctrine of the Five Virtues, improved the self-confidence of the Chinese people, and even won the hearts and minds of the nobles to gain more support for the reform of the law.

On the other hand, it is a blow to the prestige of the Qi kingland. King Xuan of Qi has always been famous for his virtues, and most of the great sages in the world are in the country of Qi. Soon after Qi Wangdi ascended the throne, it was revealed that he could not tolerate the reputation of the great sage, which would definitely have an impact on Qi Wangdi's desire to accept King Qi Xuan's inheritance in its entirety.

Although this matter will not lead to the collapse of the Jixia School Palace, the think tank of the Qi Kingdom, it is always necessary to think about it a little bit and put in the effort to be a person, in case the Jixia School Palace really collapses.

···

Soon, rumors about Zou Yan's entry into Chu and the doctrine of the end of the Five Virtues began to circulate in Yingdu of Chu and gradually spread to all around.

Not long after this, the Jixia School Palace in Linzi, Qi State, which was originally gradually ending with Zou Yan's departure, suddenly became lively again, and the five virtues that were gradually forgotten became a lively topic overnight.

Then, this trend spread from Jixia School Palace to the entire Linzi.

Soon, the rumors began to grow.

At this time, the palace of the king of Qi.

Qi Wangdi sat on the case of the dormitory with a heavy face, silently thinking about the next direction of Qi Guo.

Since his accession to the throne, he first banned the extremely powerful Xiangguo, and then divided the Xiangguo into left and right prime ministers, so that the office headed by Tian Wen and the ministers headed by Ji Zi contained each other, and he reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

Then, at the expense of Zhongshan, he allied with Zhao, and then broke Yan, and at a very slight price, he obtained 150 li of land from Zhao, and forced Yan to dedicate 200 li of land to be a vassal.

Then, Qin and Wei sent people to Qi to congratulate Qi and recognize Qi's dominance in the alliance.

All of this showed the elders of the Qi Kingdom that he, the new King of Qi, was no worse than his father.

Of course, it would have been better if there had been no defeat in the Battle of Jimo.

Just because of the Chu State, there were some flaws in his perfect performance, just because the Chu State killed outside Jimo and destroyed a large number of salt pans by the sea, so that Jimo suffered a lot of losses, and even some people moved away from Jimo for fear of being attacked by the sailors of the Chu State near the sea.

And this made Dr. Jimo and some people have a little bit of a complaint about him, the king of Qi.

In this regard, Qi Wangdi was very dissatisfied, when he heard that the Chu army was heading north, and he did not even pick the final fruits of victory, so he hurriedly withdrew from Yan State, and finally forced the Chu State Naval Division to retreat when the loss of Jimo City was not large.

As a result, those people in Jimo not only did not appreciate it, but thought that he was not strategic, so that Jimo was attacked by the Chu army.

When he heard this rumor, he was immediately furious, these people in the public office and the local nobles were really too selfish.

The situation at that time, not to mention that the Qi army immediately returned to help, even if the Qi army continued to stay in the north to attack the Yan Kingdom, it should be. Not to mention that the strength of the Chu army was too small at that time to make it happen, even if the Chu army could conquer Jimo and let Jimo make sacrifices for the country, it should be and worth it.

After all, the State of Qi is the Kingdom of Qi of his King of Qi, but they are just the courtiers of his King of Qi.

However, it was too much for those fellows to deceive him not long after his accession to the throne, and to regard his overtures as weakness, and to criticize the king by inches.

It's just unbearable.

The Tian family was established for nearly a hundred years, and in order to control the Qi country, a large number of Tian children were used to divide the Tian nobles. Now that Tian's position has been solidified, it's time for a change.

Thinking of this, Qi Wangdi's gaze suddenly became cold.

Soon, while the King of Qi was silently pondering, a waiter came to report: "The king, the prime minister and the ministers have arrived. ”

"Good!" Qi Wangdi suddenly stood up and said, "Go to the court." ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Weijun Tian Wen returned to the mansion from the palace, and at this time, Tian Jia, who had been waiting in his mansion for a long time, saw Tian Wen enter the palace to persuade King Qi to return, and immediately stepped forward, and hurriedly asked:

"Prime Minister, what's the matter, what does the king say, do you agree to revoke the decision to appoint Dr. Zhou Zhiwuyuan?"

Tian Wen glanced at Tian Jia's eager face and shook his head slightly: "The king has made up his mind and decided to appoint Dr. Zhou Zhiwuyuan. ”

When Tian Jia heard this, he was immediately anxious.

Previously, the king of Qi decided to set up a Wuyuan doctor in the newly acquired territory in the north to guard the 350 miles of land in the north.

For the position of Doctor Wuyuan, Tian Jia ran in many ways to obtain the position of town guard.

As a result, on top of today's government, the King of Qi neither appointed him Tian Jia, nor did he appoint the people on Prime Minister Zuo's side, but appointed Zhou Shi.

What kind of person is Zhou, he is the son of Zhou State, he went to Qi State a few years ago to beg for a living, he has no relatives and no reason in Qi State, no power and no power, it is because he was loved by the first king and trusted by the king that he obtained the position of Doctor Wuyuan.

In terms of identity, status, and merit, it should all be him Tian Jia, how could it be Zhou Shi's turn!

Thinking about it, Tian Jia said angrily: "Prime Minister, tell me, what is the basis for this, according to my Qi country system, the newly acquired land, even if it is not divided into princes or important ministers of the clan, then the important ministers of the town guard should also be the people of the clan, why did the king let him be the most Wuyuan doctor!"

What is his ability and merit to sit in this position. ”

Tian Wen glanced at Tian Jia, saw that his anger was hard to dissipate, and knew that he had paid a great price, but he did not get the desired result, and he was indignant in his heart.

After thinking about it, Tian Wen soothed: "General, don't be impatient, the reason why the king is the most Zhou this time is because the king wants to win over Zhou for two weeks." ”

When Tian Jia heard this, he interrupted irritably: "It's just a small country for two weeks, what is this worthy of my dignified Qi country?" ”

"Of course two weeks isn't worth it, but what about South Korea!"

"South Korea?" Tian Jia was stunned, then looked at Tian Wen hesitantly and asked, "The king wants to attack South Korea!" ”

Tian Wen nodded: "Yes, the last time the Chu State raided Jimo, the king was deeply ashamed, and he often planned to take revenge. And now around the Chu State, Qi, Wei and Qin have formed an alliance, and the Song State has secretly fallen to us, and the king's only concern is the ally of the Chu State, Korea.

Therefore, this time, the king intends to force South Korea to defect, and the two weeks of co-optation are precisely to force South Korea and put pressure on South Korea. ”

"This... But··· Prime Minister, even if the king woos the Zhou family, there is no need to appoint Zhou Zhi as the doctor of Wuyuan! ”

Seeing that Tian Jia still had worries on his face, Tian Wen said calmly: "General rest assured, as long as South Korea defects, Zhou is the most worthless, at that time, Dr. Wuyuan is still the general's, this Qi country, after all, is the Qi country of the Tian family, and the king will not forget the Tian clan."

As long as there is a chance in the future, Wen will definitely make a proposal to the king and appoint the general as the doctor of Wuyuan. ”

When Tian Jia heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then replied helplessly: "In this way, thank you Prime Minister." ”

Tian Wen smiled and nodded.

Then, as soon as Tian Jia left, Tian Wen's smiling face suddenly sank.

This time the king went too far, a doctor of Wuyuan, who was more than a doctor in the five capitals, the king didn't even discuss it with him, the prime minister of the clan, and directly appointed Zhou Shi in the court meeting.

This is a dangerous signal, the king has broken the tradition of appointing the Tian clan in the Qi State for nearly a hundred years.

Thinking about it, Tian Wen immediately recruited his henchman Sun Hong: "Are there some rumors about the bad king in Linzi during this time?" ”

"Yes, it's still about the king and Zou Yan, as far as the minister knows, this news seems to have spread from the Jixia School Palace first." Gongsun Hong said, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Does the prime minister want to find evidence, and refer to Jizi's book, saying that they formed a party for personal gain." ”

"Nope." Tian Wen shook his head: "What the true phase means is to let us join in and spread the rumors of the conflict between the king and the Jixia School Palace." ”

"This..." Gongsun Hong looked at Tian Wen puzzled.

Tian Wen pondered for a while, and then said: "Add one more, just say: The new monarch is on the throne, the lord is suspicious, the minister is not attached, the people do not believe it, but the king does not reuse the clan to fix people's hearts, but reuses the villains around him, and the weakening of the Qi country is not far away." ”

Gongsun Hong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
