Bai Xue walked into the secret room, walked out after a while, and turned into the cloth-clothed scholar again, pulled the thick wooden door of the secret room, and walked around the courtyard to the main building of Dong Xiangchun and entered calmly. She didn't go to see Wei Ying immediately, but first went to various halls and rooms to observe, and then came to the quiet and elegant Mingxiang Hall.

In a private room covered by a screen, Wei Ying was sipping tea thoughtfully. He felt that Dong Xiangchun seemed to have a special atmosphere tonight, and there was no famous man of the "main battle" in the extremely lively polemic hall in the past, and even the soldiers who "helped the war" were nowhere to be seen.

There were quite a few guests in the drinking room, but there was not a single drinker who looked like a scholar, and the seats were almost all gorgeous merchants and reserved officials. In the past, the Mingxiang Hall was relatively deserted, but tonight it was a constant number of visitors, and most of them were cloth clothes.

The difference between this tea hall and other halls is that they are all quiet and elegant small compartments, in line with the realm of tea tasting. Despite this, the sound of high-pitched talk and laughter could be faintly heard between the cubicles. Tonight, it's strange that each compartment is clearly three or five together, but it is all quiet. Could it be that they are all drinking tea as carefully as he is?

After thinking for a while, Wei Ying actually laughed to himself, Dong Xiangchun was originally a place where nothing strange was born, what do you want it to do? So, as soon as his mind moved, he speculated about how the Qin State would write the order to seek talents? If it is not satisfactory, how should I explain it to Bai Xue? What would Bai Xue think? When I thought about it, I was so chaotic that I didn't have a clue.

Wei Ying didn't know that Qin Feng was sitting in his compartment at this time, and he put a miniature theft in his compartment. Listen, Qin Feng wanted to know what kind of attitude Wei Ying had towards Qin State's talent seeking order, and whether he could come to Qin State, which was a matter of great concern to Qin Feng.

At this moment, with a few knocks, the small door of the screen compartment was gently removed. Wei Ying's heart was irritable, and he waved his hand without raising his head: "There are still people here, let's go somewhere else." But I heard an old voice say leisurely: "Is it leisurely to drink tea at your feet?" ”

What a familiar sound! Wei Ying looked up, but it was an old man with white hair and white beard, and a handsome young man stood behind him.

Wei Ying was pleasantly surprised, stood up and bowed deeply, "Senior, don't come unharmed?" The old man laughed heartily, "Where don't we meet in life?" ”

Wei Ying said with a smile: "The predecessor Shenlong sees the head but does not see the tail, is it easy to meet?" Please sit down. The old man smiled and sat down, and the young man sat sideways.

The old man said, "This is my grandson." Come, I have seen my father's old friend. The handsome young man saluted silently to Wei Ying, and Wei Ying also smiled back. Aunt Mei, who was dressed as a maid, smiled and served a new tea, withdrew gently, and hurried to find Bai Xue.

"The winter snow has melted, the river ice has opened, and the predecessors have gone on a journey again."

The old man laughed, "Sparse and lazy, and walking the world, it is not enough." But I don't want to meet Pingshui again, this is fate. ”

"Inspired by his predecessors, Wei Ying has a lot of vigilance, but I don't know what variables the West will have in the future?" Wei Ying was tactfully testing whether the old man knew about the Qin State's order to seek talents, so as to judge how deep the old man's relationship with the Qin State was?

"Dare to ask, don't come here to have a plan?" The old man smiled and asked, but he was noncommittal to Wei Ying's question.

"Don't dare to hide it, Wei Ying still has no fixed opinion on where to go. After reading a few books on the West, after all, I don't know much about the facts of the West, and it is difficult to make a decision. "Wei Ying is telling the truth.

The old man smiled and nodded, "It's a coincidence, the old man is passing by a western country and happens to know some news." The danger of destroying the country seems to have been alleviated, and the government and the opposition are quite perked. The new monarch seems to be determined to be strong, and issued an order to all countries in the world to seek talents, seeking to strengthen the country and talents. The old man thought that this was a miracle of seeking talents since the Warring States period. It's a pity that the old man can't do it anymore, otherwise, I want to try it. After that, there was a hearty laugh.

"Ancestors," Wei Ying was not surprised, "there have been many kings seeking merit since ancient times. Seeking talents from all over the world is really commendable, and it is strange and strange, but it may not be called a handwriting. Traces are also the words of facts. Can you recruit great talents? In the end, it is necessary to look at the depth of the sincerity of seeking talents, otherwise, it is just a volume of empty text. ”

The old man's emotion of refuting Wei Ying was not displeased at all, but nodded approvingly, "It is very rare to be calm and realistic at the beginning." It is a pity that the old man did not find a talent search order, please take a look. However, my grandson has never forgotten it, and he can recite it backwards after seeing it at the Liyang City Gate. Xuanqi, listen to it on your back. ”

"Xuanqi?" Qin Feng was stunned, he, he didn't expect that this future life would be Xuanqi, so this old man would naturally be an old man of Baili. They actually met Wei Ying in Anyi?

Wei Ying hurriedly arched his hand and said, "There is little brother Lao." ”

The handsome young man nodded with a smile, coughed lightly, and recited in a pure Yayan:

Talent Seeking Order

The wise men and wise men of the country: In the past, I Mu Gong from Qi Yong, cultivating virtue and practicing Wudong and Jin Chaos, with the river as the boundary, the west dominates Rong Zhai, the vast land is thousands of miles, the Son of Heaven is to the uncle, and the princes are Bihe, opening for future generations, very beautiful. The past will be strong, impatient, Jian Gong, out of the son of restlessness, the country's internal worries, not to mention foreign affairs, the three Jin Dynasty to capture my first monarch Hexi, the princes are humble Qin, ugly. Xiangong ascended the throne, pacified the border, migrated to Liyang, and wanted to go eastward, restore the hometown of Mu Gong, and repair Mu Gong's decree. The widow misses the meaning of the ancestors, and often hurts his heart. The guests of the country, the wise men and the ministers, there are those who can make strange plans to strengthen Qin, and I respect the officials and share the land with them.

When Wei Ying heard this, he was silent for a long time, and his chest was tumbling and surging.

Seeing this scene, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that Wei Ying had been deeply attracted by the order to seek talent.

At this time, Bai Xue, dressed as a cloth scholar, walked in lightly. Wei Ying's eyes lit up, and he smiled at the old man: "Senior, this is my hand talk." Little brother, this is a senior master. The cloth cloth scholar respectfully bowed his hand and said: "I have seen my predecessors in my later life." This little brother's words are so pure. ”

The old man smiled: "It's just a pity that the old man doesn't have the original copy of the official seal." Please sit down. ”

The cloth cloth scholar smiled and bowed to the old man, then sat down on Wei Ying's desk, took out a green cloth bag from his arms and opened it, "Senior, brother, heh, this little brother also please see, this is the original of the Qin State's order to seek talents, sent to the Wei State!" As he spoke, he took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to Wei Ying.

Wei Ying said "Thank you", and hurriedly opened it, and a bright red seal was stamped on the finely connected bamboo slips, which was extremely clear. Wei Ying read it carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "Little brother recites, word for word!" But I couldn't help but look at it from the beginning. After a long time, he raised his head and let out a long breath.

The old man smiled and said, "What do you think, how about the Qin State's order to seek talent?" ”

"Good! There is a mind! Wei Ying couldn't help but admire.

"Oh, that's it?" The handsome young man who never forgot asked with a smile, but a flush flew on his face.

Wei Ying glanced at the young man, and said slowly: "This talent seeking order is extraordinary. First, it set an ancient precedent and bitterly said the national shame. After counting the incompetence of the four generations of ancestors, through the ages, how many people can do it? How many people dare to do it? Second, seeking to strengthen Qin's strange plan, rather than seeking peace and peace in governing the country, shows that this public ambition is to dominate the world. is poor and weak, and is despised by others, but he can be a Kunpeng and look far away, and give birth to the ambition of swallowing the eight wildernesses. Throughout the ages, in addition to Yu Tang Wenwu, how many people can reach? Third, be open-minded and dare to share the world with heroes. With these three, it can be called a sincere search for talent. ”

Obviously, Wei Ying was really excited by the talent search. The old man's calm cheeks twitched suddenly, and the handsome young man seemed to be praising himself, and his face was flushed. Bai Xue stared at Wei Ying, her bright eyes burning all the time.

Finally, the old man smiled, "Do you think that the merit order is flawed?" ”

Wei Ying groaned, "Duke Qin intends to restore Duke Mu's hegemony, and his ambition is small. If there is a plan to strengthen Qin, there should be a great ambition to dominate the world. ”

The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Good! Outside the mountains, higher and farther. However, he dared to ask his feet, now that he saw the order to seek merit, would he be willing to go to the Qin State to show revenge? ”

Wei Ying smiled and asked, "Little Brother Buyi, what do you think?" ”

Buyi Baixue clapped his hands and smiled: "Naturally, it's great." I want to go too. ”

Wei Ying arched to the old man and said: "Today, I see the order to seek talent, my heart is determined, and my intention has been decided, I should go to the Qin State and show the longitude and latitude in my chest." ”

"General Pang Juan is under house arrest in the cemetery, is there a way to get out of trouble?"

Pang Juan only wanted Wei Ying to be used by him, not that Wei Ying was up to the task. Otherwise, with Sun Bin's precedent, how can Martingale be a little different? However, it is not difficult to get out of trouble. "Wei Ying is quite confident.

"Can you tell me, why don't you be a military affairs officer? This is not an ordinary position. ”

Wei Yingran sighed, "Although the martingale is adrift with a book and sword, he will never seek an official position for his life." The ambition of life is the national system and the practice of the people. How can you learn from a few military affairs? "The air of arrogance comes out.

"If he is a maverick, he will become a great weapon one day." The old man smiled in admiration, "Can the old man plan a thing or two for entering Qin?" ”

"Please give me more advice."

"I have a young friend like you, who is an official in the Qin State. The old man and the next few words, you go to see him, he can introduce you directly to the Duke of Qin, and save a lot of troubles, and then it's up to you. The old man advises that the old Qin people are simple and heavy, and they hate drilling camps, everything has to be opened up by their own talents, and no one can help you. After speaking, he took out a copper pipe that was not more than a foot long from his bosom and handed it to Wei Ying, "Please put it away." ”

Wei Ying got up and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your teachings." We met twice, dare to ask the seniors' names? ”

The old man said with a smile: "The old man owes the Qin State a favor because of his ancestors, so he wants to help the Qin State find three or two talents." As soon as this matter was over, the old man traveled all over the world. People outside the world, why should they leave their names? ”
