The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "The Song Kingdom can live a good life, but the Song people may not." Looking at the past 3,000 years, how can the talents of the Chinese people be equated with the prosperity and decline of the country? The Song people are wise and intelligent, which is not the same as the Song State dominating the world. The gathering of talents in Wei does not mean that Wei will eventually achieve great causes. How many times, quite the opposite. Just like a heroic man like Gongzi in the country, isn't it also a dying country? What is the root? Think deeply. ”

Wei Ying pondered silently, and the words of the old man Dajue implied infinite deep meaning, and he unconsciously left the table and moved forward, and solemnly arched his hand: "Dare to ask the seniors' names?" ”

The white-haired old man smiled: "When you meet in life, why do you need to know each other." Would you like to move the bottle and sit together? ”

Wei Ying sat down in front of the old man's desk and bowed respectfully, "The predecessors have far-reaching insights, where do you think you can go today?" At this time, the pretty maid had already walked lightly, transferred Wei Ying's wine and meat to the old man's case, and walked away lightly.

The white-haired old man: "If you want to be mellow and cold, there is only one place in the world to go." ”

"Please make it clear to your seniors."

"Follow Lao Tzu's example and travel west."

Wei Ying thought for a while, wrote the word "Qin" on the long case with a jade chopstick, and looked at the old man. The old man nodded and smiled. Wei Ying muttered: "In the country of the West, the central qi is weak, and the internal and external difficulties are difficult, how can it be mellow and cold? If it is not as good as the Wei State, if there is a person of the Tao in power, it can be completed within ten years. ”

The old man still smiled, "The world's great talents, eight or nine are in Wei." However, how could Wei have used one? Wei Ying was silent and couldn't help but sigh deeply. The old man said lightly: "The way of heaven is long, and everything has its own origin. The great talent is in place, and the weak can become strong. Mediocrity is in place, strong can become weak. The five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period suddenly sank. From this point of view, how can the theory of strength and weakness end up in the end? ”

Wei Ying's eyes lit up and asked, "What do seniors think, what is the weather of Qi Country?" ”

"The old man has just traveled from the Qi Kingdom. The new king of Qi was newly proclaimed, and King Tian was ambitious because of Qi, and built a school palace to recruit talents, and the weather was good. However, the old foundation of the Qi State has not been touched, and the King of Qi has made it difficult to move. The old man once had a meeting with the king of Qi, watching the appearance of the king of Qi, one side can dominate, not enough to be the king of the world. ”

"However, it is better than Qin Guo to have confidence." Wei Ying asked unconvincedly.

The old man shook his head slightly, "Not necessarily. Not to mention that Qin is a country of long-term war, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky after losing Qin. Based on the theory of the new monarch of the Qin State alone, there is the courage of the Yue King Goujian to lie down and taste the courage. It is recently rumored that Yingquliang, the new monarch of the Qin State, set up a national shame monument in the political hall, cut off the three fingers of his left hand, and actually scribbled the word national shame with blood. This gentleman is well-dressed and festive, diligent and loves the people, and resolute and resolute, but he is an unheard of monarch since the Warring States period. The old man looked at it, and was afraid that the rise of the Qin State would be in this world. ”

Wei Ying's heart was pounding when he heard this, and he was about to ask a question, but he heard a loud discussion at the adjacent table. A blue-shirted man shouted, "You know? King Wei and King Qi compare national treasures, King Wei said that national treasures are pearls of the night, and King Qi said that national treasures are talents! ”

A purple-clothed swordsman continued: "The Night Pearl is a national treasure? Wei Guoke is about to end! Another bamboo crown scholar said: "I saw Qi Guo going." Qi Guo set up a Jixia School Palace, and each scholar had a three-entry mansion, and Meng Fuzi was going to go! ”

The swordsman said in a loud voice: "If you want to go to the Qin State, Lao Tzu has lectured and preached in the Qin State!" Another scholar said generously: "The Six Kingdoms are divided into Qin, don't you know?" The state of Qin is coming to an end. The new monarch of the Qin State ascended the throne, but he did not allow the people of the country to celebrate and the village banquet. Which monarch do you say is not going to celebrate March? It's not allowed to celebrate, it's clearly a rude barbarian state! ”

Someone echoed, "Yes! No self-denial, no revenge, a sign of the death of the country! But another scholar cried out angrily, "What is the use of self-denial? Qin Palace did not miss the agricultural time, but it was barbarian? You Confucian students will not be boundless! In a poor country, where do the common people eat the Northwest Wind Country Banquet? ”

Someone laughed loudly, "No wonder Confucius traveled around the world and no one dared to use it?" That's what a ritual you say about not eating! ”

The crowd burst into laughter. The white-haired old man and Wei Ying were silent.

At this moment, a man in red walked in and sat next to Wei Ying, led by a maid. After the wine and meat were put on the case, the man in red drank by himself, and occasionally looked at the Wei Ying and the old man sitting next to him. Wei Ying didn't pay attention to this person, and asked the old man: "Dare to ask the seniors which school they are governing?" The old man smiled: "The nature is scattered, and there is no longevity, how can we talk about learning?" It is better for the son to specialize in learning and practice. Wei Ying smiled and asked: "Since it is a miscellaneous family, what praise and disapproval do the predecessors have for all the families in the world?" ”

The old man Lang Lang smiled and said: "There are hundreds of schools, and there are no roots and no births. The survival of the fittest, why praise and disparagement? Wei Ying smiled: "The predecessor is noble, but he was born too much." ”

The man in red had been paying attention to the conversation between the two, and at this moment he turned around and arched his hand to Wei Ying, and asked with a smile: "Mr. seems to be insufficient for the answer to his predecessors, dare to ask Mr. What praise and disapproval does Mr. have for all the families in the world?" ”

Wei Ying's heart was originally depressed, and his face was flushed with the impact of alcohol, and he was actually quite excited. Seeing that the red-clothed scholars intended to argue, he expressed his chest and said: "There are hundreds of schools, there are many people who are pragmatic and reasonable, and there are few who are practical and practical; There are many nostalgic people who miss the past, and few people who promote the current situation; There are many people who are entangled in the details, and there are few who are closely related to the big ones. What does the gentleman think? ”

"Wonderful!" The man in red high-fived and smiled: "Three more and three less." It seems that Mr. advocates innovation and pays attention to application. But I don't know if Mr. has a high opinion about the general trend of the world? ”

Wei Ying drank a big duke, and it was actually a block in his chest, "Fang is down today, the warring states are competing for power, and the princes are trying to survive, which is the general trend." Those who compete for power are anxious for quick success and quick profit, and only fight for heavy arms, but do not think about the fundamental dispute. It is difficult to fight for the male, to be male, to be domineering, to be the king, and there is no country of great success! More than 30 small and medium-sized princes, or to keep the map, or to rely on the map, or to mediate the map, if Zheng Zhuang Gong to a small country to change the map to survive into a small hegemon, there is no country. From this point of view, it is difficult for small and medium-sized princes to escape their doom, and it is difficult for the warring states to succeed. What does the gentleman think? ”

A generosity actually attracted the wine gatherers in the hall to look at each other. In the world of strife, the changes in the trend of the times are closely related to everyone's destiny, and people are naturally more concerned, but if there is a discussion, they want to hear it. At this moment, seeing that this cloth-clothed scholar spoke very extraordinarily, the scholars, merchants, officials, and others gathered one after another, and naturally formed a big circle. Dong Xiangchun's maid was accustomed to such scenes, and calmly transferred each guest's wine case to the situation, and in a moment an atmosphere of everyone gathering for wine and arguing.

In between the transfers, some people applauded, "Good! The words are simple, the righteousness is reasonable, and it is indeed a high theory! ”

"Wait! Mr. said that it is difficult to succeed in the Warring States of the Warring States, isn't it a word to scold the world? I think Chu State will be able to achieve great success! ”

When Wei Ying saw that someone was in trouble, his ambition rose sharply, and he smiled and said: "This gentleman is too wishful thinking." Although the state of Chu is vast and has a large number of people, the change of law is superficial, and it is still divided into fragments by the fiefdom of the clan, and the laws and regulations cannot be unified, and the national strength cannot be cohesive. To this day, even a dying Yue country can't help it, how can it be done? Why not? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, obviously Ying and Wei Ying, laughing at the man who supported Chu. At this time, the man in red clasped his fists and arched his hands to everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, slow down, let me finish asking Mr." He turned around and said: "The six countries are divided into Qin, and the matter is urgent, why is it that it is nearly a month, and there is no sound on both sides?" This is the news that has just spread, and it is a real important event in front of us, naturally everyone is concerned, and everyone must listen to the words of this young man who will come out of the words, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

Wei Ying groaned slightly, and said with a smile: "If you push it down, although there are no huge waves under the eyes, there will be great movements underwater." However, neither side is a conspiracy, but it is inconvenient to talk here. ”

The arrogant smile of the red-clothed scholar swept away, "Sir, what do you think the Wei State should do if the Six Kingdoms are divided into Qin?" ”

Wei Ying suddenly raised his knighthood, but there was no wine. The maid flew in and poured wine lightly. Wei Ying drank it all, and said: "The big thing is not bad for the conspiracy, and the great merit is not for the coalition army." The destruction of Qin by the Six Kingdoms is not as good as the Wei State alone. Although the resultant force is large, the crack is also large. If Wei was alone with Qin, he strongly urged him to move back to Yongcheng in the west, otherwise, he would force Qin to cede ten cities in the east to protect Liyang. If the capital of Qin moves westward, the east will be weak, and the Hexi army of Wei State will be able to break it with one blow! If the Qin State ceded the ten cities, the fertile land of the Qin State would be lost, and it would fall into a corner of the western region, and the country would be in danger of being broken. ”

The white-haired old man did not move, but his body shook slightly. The man in red laughed and said, "It's so easy, what's the use of an army?" Wei Ying smiled coldly, "If the gentleman doesn't know what the plan is for the army, that's it." It turned out to be a look of disdain to talk to him again.

The man in red was not displeased, but laughed heartily, "Zhongshu Ziwei Ying is really extraordinary!" Admire. ”

Someone asked loudly: "This is the middle concubine Wei Ying, but I don't know who Mr. Red is?" ”

"Scholars talk about politics, the fashion of the moment, why do you need to leave a name? Leave. The man in red stood up and arched, his big sleeves waving away.

Wei Ying was silent, and drank it all again, bowing his head and thinking silently. When the onlookers saw that the proud man in red had gone, and the young people seemed to have no intention of arguing, they also dispersed back to their original places, and the hall was quiet for a while. The white-haired old man said leisurely: "The son is strong and resolute, sharp and unmatched, and the essence of the strategy is really rare. However, if the calculation is profound, the resistance will be great, and I hope that the son will be based on the calculation of the sky and slowly draw it. ”

Wei Ying raised his head suddenly and laughed heartily, "Senior, I believe in human beings more. ”

I don't want the man in red to report Wei Ying's name, and there is already a lot of discussion in the hall. The maid who served the wine for Wei Ying walked lightly and floated towards the back hall. A moment later, an unusually handsome cloth-clothed man came to the hall. At this time, the white-haired old man was saying goodbye to Wei Ying, and the cloth cloth man stood on the side of the screen at the entrance of the hall and looked at Wei Ying intently.

Wei Ying sent the old man away, turned around and came to his desk, put a gold cake in a copper plate, and was about to leave the hall. But she didn't want the maid to hold the gold cake and smiled softly: "The master of Dong Xiangchun has made rules, but the guests have high opinions and don't take a penny." Please take it back, sir. ”

Wei Ying was stunned, but he smiled heartily, and put away the gold cake without refusal. The maid laughed in a low voice and asked, "I wonder if Mr. will come tomorrow?" Wei Ying was still drunk, and laughed teasingly: "Don't you take a penny too?" The maid nodded and replied, "Maybe forever." ”

Wei Ying seemed surprised by this generous answer, and couldn't help but laugh again, and went straight out of the hall and downstairs. When I walked to the shade of the courtyard tree, I heard someone behind me: "Sir, stay." ”
