"It's not a big gift for you, where does the thank you come from?" Qin Xiaogong smiled and sighed again, "Jing Jian He, the way to seek talent is long-lasting." People have sincerity, and God does not live up to it. Even if there is no great talent, the Qin State will not perish. ”

Jing Jian and Qin Feng came out of the state mansion and immediately rushed to the Zhaoxian Pavilion and sent a scribe to send a letter to Wei Ying of the Weifeng Inn, telling him to make careful preparations for success in one fell swoop. Then he found Wang Shi and more than a dozen other scholars and asked them to prepare to meet the king. In the end, he arranged for the rest of the scholars to write bamboo slips, pen and ink, carving knives and other trivial chores for the Qin control countermeasures, and then went home to sleep and prepare for tomorrow with peace of mind.

At three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Liyang City Gate had just been dyed with autumn gold, and four armor soldiers escorted a oxen-pulled cart and drove to the front of the Weifeng Inn. Jing Jian and Qin Feng jumped down from the front of the car, and solemnly announced in front of the door, "Jing Jian of the Inner History, Shangqing Qin Feng." Welcome Mr. Wei Ying into the palace——! As soon as the words fell, an accompanying scribe respectfully entered the inn holding a wooden plaque engraved with the name of the Jing Supervisor.

After a while, Wei Ying went out accompanied by Hou Ying and exchanged courtesies, and Jing Jian invited Wei Ying to get into the car, and drove to the state mansion by himself. Qin Feng stood beside Wei Ying, waiting quietly.

During the short journey, Jing Jian did not ask, and Wei Ying did not speak.

In front of the gate of the national government, Che Ying, who had been promoted to the guard of the national government, was dressed in full uniform and stood solemnly to greet him. Seeing the arrival of the ox cart, he proclaimed in a loud voice: "By the order of the king, the wise man will go straight to the palace——! With a flick of the long sword, the two columns of armor soldiers dodged in an uproar, and Jing Jian drove into the courtyard of the state palace with an ox cart until it stopped in the courtyard of the government hall.

Qin Xiaogong and Gan Long, Ying Qian, Gongsun Jia, and Du Zhi were already waiting in front of the political hall. Seeing the ox cart coming, Qin Xiaogong strode forward and personally came to help Wei Ying get out of the car. Wei Ying arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your work." He didn't refuse, so he got out of the car by the arm of Xiaogong. Gan Long next to him frowned deeply.

Wei Ying got out of the car and bowed to Qin Xiaogong, "In Xia Wei Ying, see the king." ”

Qin Xiaogong held it and smiled: "Mr. has worked hard. Please—" He led Wei Ying up the six steps, entered the hall of the government hall, and helped Wei Ying to the most honorable seat next to the monarch and sat down. The ministers then sat down, and the waiters withdrew after serving tea, and the hall was solemn.

Qin Xiaogong solemnly bowed his hand and said: "Mr. entered Qin, visited for three months, and walked all over the remote mountains and rivers of Qin, which can be regarded as a model for wise men. Today's court meeting, Mr. is specially invited to express Qin Changce. As he spoke, he stood up, turned to Wei Ying, and bowed deeply, "Please teach me, sir." Wei Yingzuo calmly arched his hand and said: "I don't dare to speak, but I express my own opinions." Qin Xiaogong sat back in front of the long case next to him, and said respectfully: "Sir, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

Wei Ying looked around and sat around, and finally looked at Qin Xiaogong, and started speaking in a hurry: "Everything in the world, everything must be learned." The way of governing the country is the first of all learning, with a long history and profound roots. Since the Yellow Emperor, after the three emperors and five emperors and the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, although there have been changes in the way of governing the country, it has finally taken the royal road as the mainstream. Since the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward, the rites collapsed, the world was in turmoil, the high bank was the valley, the deep valley was the mausoleum, the princes were arrogant, the tile kettle thundered, the royal family declined, and the countries rose. Only in this way, the study of governing the country has also become a trend of competition for victory, and finally there is no consensus. However, after careful investigation, there is no one who surpasses the realm of royal governance. ”

Hearing this ornate and unobtrusive opening remark, Jing Jian was confused, and he didn't understand how Wei Ying was going to end this grand palace pair? Could it be that what he has learned in his chest is all this cliché?

Wei Ying, Wei Ying, how can I always be unable to understand you? The opportunity is given to you, you don't really learn, who do you blame? Jing Jian looked up at the field again, Gan Long, Gongsun Jia, and Du Zhi nodded frequently, smiling.

And the three generals, Ying Qian, Zi'an and later Wei Wei Che Ying, seemed to be dozing off. Only the monarch Qin Xiao was as expressionless as usual, and only Jing Jian knew that this was a kind of indifference and contempt that the monarch had for the most hated and helpless people and things.

"Dare to ask sir, what is the rule of kingship?" Qin Xiaogong asked lightly.

"The so-called royal road is the way to govern the people with virtue, to serve the four states with virtue, to serve the sea with virtue, to rest the military disaster, to convince the people with invisible virtue, and to make the world peaceful. What is virtue? Those who are virtuous are also the soul of politics. He is like flesh and blood to the common people, like brothers and brothers to his neighbors, and like relatives and friends to criminals. In this way, the four seas will be served, and the world will be one. Wei Ying's language was relaxed, and his face was solemn, as if he was telling the profound and mysterious avenue.

Qin Xiaogong closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was asleep. The three generals were really asleep, and the rough Zi'an actually withdrew his heavy snoring. Qin Xiaogong didn't even seem to hear it. Only Gan Long was quite interested, and interjected and asked, "Sir, how does the Qin State should govern the royal way?" ”

Wei Ying said calmly: "The royal road is based on morality. The Qin State should be like the Lu State, practice benevolent government, rest the soldiers, force the well field, and pardon the criminals. ”

Qin Xiaogong Huo Ran opened his eyes, interrupted the conversation, and said, "Sir, let's stop here today." Later, when I have leisure, I will listen to Mr. Gao's arguments. Inner history, send sir. After speaking, he left the minister and walked away. Gan Long wanted to summon the monarch back to China, but he stopped talking, bowed to Wei Ying, and hurried away. The three generals also stretched, yawned and rubbed their eyes. Gongsun Jia and Du Zhi also followed Gan Long. In the empty political hall, only the solemn and contemplative Wei Yan remained.

Jing Jian was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed, and he no longer had the intention of talking to Wei Ying, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please." ”

The ox cart clattered out of the state again. In front of the Deweifeng Inn, as soon as Wei Ying got out of the car, Jing Jian whipped the cow's backbone, "Plus!" With a bang, he walked away.

Wei Ying looked at Jing Jian's back, shook his head and smiled and walked into the Weifeng Inn.

When he got home, Jing Jian was so angry that he wanted to slap himself. What is this called? How can this be done? You must know that he is learning these bird things, and he has to work so hard to survive? Forget it, I don't want to, I still have business tomorrow, go to bed after eating! Jing Jian said in a loud voice: "Little Linghu, come to dinner, hurry up!" "It's coming, it's coming." Xiao Linghu held the wooden plate and smiled mischievously: "Yo, it's cloudy and sunny, what's wrong?" ”

"The children don't ask much. I only tell you that when that person comes back in the future, he will say that I am not there. ”

"Which one?"

"That guy last night! You know what? That's him! Dine. ”

Xiao Linghu covered his mouth and didn't dare to laugh, and muttered: "Is that person very good, you call him a brother." ”

"What's good? Straw bag! Rice bag! Pig! Brick! Jing Jian was so angry that he scolded again and again.

I had never seen Jing Jian lose his temper like a child, and Xiao Linghu giggled and squirted out of food.

Jing Jian had a blank face, but he couldn't help but laugh "poof", "I'm angry with me." ”

"Click, click, click", there was a familiar knock on the door.

Xiao Linghu grimaced, "Is it open?" It had to be the brick. ”

"What do you know? I'm going to ask him what about it, go. ”

"Say that people are bricks, what else do you ask?" Xiao Linghu muttered and walked out.

"Squeak" The door rang, and Wei Ying smiled: "Little sister, did Neishi scold me?" ”

Xiao Linghu grimaced at Wei Ying, pointed to the main room and whispered: "I'm scolding, be careful." ”

Wei Ying walked into the main room with a smile and sat opposite Jing Jian: "Brother Jing, I am here to receive the scolding." ”

Jing Jian dropped the dishes and chopsticks, "Smack!" He slapped the wooden table, and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Ying, Wei Ying, the monarch misses your hard work, and I admire your talent, who would have thought that you were a straw bag, a rice bag, a pig's head, and a brick!" Say something that is so weak? It is clearly the way to destroy the country, and it is said that Qin Changce is the way to govern Qin? The breath of the Lu country is dying, is it Qin Guoxue? You and you, I think you can only play two games of chess. Speaking of business, hum, brick by brick, brick! ”

Wei Ying couldn't help laughing, leaning forward and closing back, making Xiao Linghu giggle and lose his breath.

"Laughing? Are you very clever? ”

After laughing for a while, Wei Ying came back to his senses and asked seriously, "Lord Neishi, you said that I Wei Ying traveled thousands of miles just to tell Qin Guo about the way to destroy the country?" ”

Jing Jian was stunned, "Since it's not, why is it so weak?" ”

"Remember before visiting Qin, did you agree to my request?"

Jing Jian nodded silently, his eyes fixed on Wei Ying.

Wei Ying calmly said, "Brother Jing, please make an appointment to meet Gong Qin again for me, I know what to say." ”

Jing Jian sighed: "Okay, gentleman, I'll believe you again." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the door, followed by a "pop" knock on the door. Xiao Linghu hurriedly opened the door, and a scribe rushed in the door and said loudly: "Lord Neishi, the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion are making trouble!" ”

"What's going on?" Jing Jian asked urgently.

"It's not clear, it's just that there are thirty or fifty people clamoring to leave."

Jing Jian said: "Brother Marting, I'll go, I'll talk about it later." ”

Wei Ying smiled: "You go and get busy, I'll go too." Then he went out with Jing Jian and went back to the inn.

There was chaos in the Recruiting Hall. The scholars surrounded the ruler in the middle, clamoring to see the king, or they would leave the Qin state tonight.

The head of the department bowed to the scholars again and again, and said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, don't worry, don't worry, I have already sent a clerk to invite Lord Neishi." A scholar shouted angrily: "Neishi is favoritism, what's the use of looking for him?" I want to see the king! "Yes, I want to see the king!" The scholars shouted. When the Jing supervisor arrived, the courtyard was in chaos. Jing Jian stood on a stone and said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen, I am Jing Jian of the Inner History. If there is any grievance, please tell me. ”

Qin Feng had also appeared, and suddenly shouted: "Silence! Suddenly, a murderous aura permeated, just like the realm, and those soldiers who had never seen bloodshed and dead people were suddenly frightened and speechless, but soon, some of them began to shout, because they were sure that Qin Feng would not dare to kill them.

A red-clothed gentleman said in a loud voice: "May I ask the internal history, a rotten Confucian can see the gentleman's face Chen, why should I be left out in the cold?" ”

"The internal history is favoritism, the virtuous have no public heart, we want to meet the king!"

"Wang Daozhi said, he also treated him with great courtesy, who recommended this?"

"The monarch does not listen to such a way of destroying the country, only the internal history favoritism and fraud, and the bad and the good!"

"May I ask the internal history, how much money did Wei Ying use to buy off the adult?"

"I'll tell you the truth, if I don't see you tonight, I'll leave immediately!"

"Yes, the order for seeking talent is well said, but it is actually hypocritical and deceiving the world!"
