Chapter 9 After irritability, there is idleness
After Uncle Wei left, Wei Kai lay on the bed and thought for a long time. Wei Kai suddenly found that although he had been in this world for a long time, he was still incompatible with this world. Even if Wei Kai dresses like a nobleman from Wei, eats Wei food and speaks Wei dialect, Wei Kai is not Wei Kai.
People are often a very strange thing. If you know the final result early, you will often lose interest in what you are doing now, anyway, knowing the result, no matter how hard you try, you will not change it; However, when people encounter setbacks in life, when people make choices and do not get satisfactory results, they sigh and say that it would be great if I could have known the final result, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in the world.
Wei Kai is now in this state of contradiction. Wei Kai thought that he would not feel sad about what happened in Yucheng, but when Wei Kai saw Uncle Wei's lonely appearance, Wei Kai seemed to realize that he seemed to have done something wrong.
Perhaps, Wei Kai has always been just an ordinary person, and before the crossing, Wei Kai was just an ordinary person, with no achievements that made his parents proud, no outstanding appearance, no marriage and no children, and lived aimlessly as he should. The fear when he first came, and then he adapted to the heavy recruitment of martial arts to train his martial arts, so he gradually developed an anxious king's heart. After Uncle Wei's departure, Wei Kai seemed to find that he seemed to be back to the point where he was nothing.
Wei Kai never seemed to care what others thought, he felt that he could be a god, that he already knew the result, and that he could lead everyone on a shortcut in life. Unfortunately, life is not all about games, if you are leaving, the winding path is explored, even if the head is broken and bleeding, but it can also bring happiness.
After being irritable, Wei Kai casually walked on the street of Anyi, looking at the noise around him, Wei Xingxing seemed to have a little understanding. However, the prosperity of Anyi, after a tour in Wei Kai, I realized more profoundly, and finally, I walked in front of an inn called "Huiying Pavilion".
Huiying Pavilion, modeled after the Jixia Academy, brings together scholars here to think and say, express their views on national politics, analyze and debate the situation of various countries, since the beginning of Wei Wuhou, here is the most concentrated and fierce place of Wei thought. The Wei royal court often hired talented people here to entrust them with official positions to manage the country, and at the same time expressed the Wei state's desire for talents from all over the world; Families of all worlds also recruited customers here, so that both those who seek fame and fortune and those who worship scholarship often gather here. As a result, the Huiying Pavilion is staggered, and the ladies and dancers are intermingling in it, and all kinds of heated rhetoric are endless.
Wei Kai walked in, and because of his aristocratic costumes, he was naturally arranged in a better location. The Gathering Hall resembles an ancient Roman anthemat, with spectators surrounding and performers performing on stage, with sections connected by passages and various rooms to serve the guests. Drinking the wine served by the little servant, Wei Kai looked at the scholars from all over the world who were arguing fiercely on the stage, and he also had a unique flavor.
Suddenly, someone on the stage took the stage and said, "Everyone, please listen to me. Today, countries are annexed, and the people are unbearable. The princes of the Zhou Dynasty are now dominated by Wei, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han, Yan, and Qin, among which the Wei State is the strongest, and the virtuous monarchs and famous ministers above the court, as well as the Wei warriors led by the general Pang Juan, are invincible and invincible. I think that all countries should take Wei as the leader, follow the example of the Duke of Zhou when he assisted the king, and the Wei State should administer on behalf of the Son of Heaven, respect the virtue of the Son of Heaven, and govern the government of various countries. Calm the resentment between the countries, spread the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, so that the Son of Zhou can still enjoy his country, the vassal states can be stable and defend the Quartet, and the people's lives can be stable and developed. Stop the sword, cultivate benevolence, and create a grand event of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors". As soon as he finished speaking, the audience around him shouted: "Cai".
When Wei Kai heard this, he smiled, took a sip of wine and continued to watch the remarks of the sergeant on the stage. Suddenly, there was a voice next to him, Wei Kai hurriedly turned his head, and saw a middle-aged man next to him who was dressed in a scholar's uniform, with a slightly thin body but containing great strength, said: "I see that after the sergeant in the audience finished speaking, the people around him said hello. Only the little brother shook his head again and again when he heard it. I think the little brother's costume should be a nobleman of the Wei State. But I am very puzzled by the behavior of the little brother, can you answer it for me? ”。
Wei Kai was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was the one who felt funny when he heard this kind of narcissistic remarks, and sure enough, the mavericks in the world, no matter what the result was, were often the first to be criticized. So, Wei Kai said with a displeased face: "I just had something to do just now. It's not that I disagree with the remarks of the scholar just now, I don't know why Mr. said this? Then he began to drink, ignoring the person who had just spoken.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Little brother, don't mind. Sun Bin is a Qi person. It's just that when I saw my little brother like this, I couldn't help but ask." After Wei Kai heard this, the wine glass in his hand stopped, thinking about why he met an unlucky guy today, but he was unsure in his heart. So, he put down his wine glass and saluted Sun Bin and said, "May I ask if Mr. is Mr. Sun Bin, the current classmate of General Wei and the successor of Guigu?" ”
When Sun Bin heard this, he was very surprised, he and Pang Juan worshiped under the Guigu Gate, and then Pang Juan Shiwei served as a general and shocked the countries. I was invited by Pang Juan to come to Wei this time, and no one else knew. At the same time, Sun Bin heard about the strength of Wei and wanted to travel to increase his knowledge. In addition, Sun Bin felt that his talent was comparable to Pang Juan, and he also came here this time. And a noble young man in front of him seemed to know himself, so he continued to ask: "Little brother, do you know Sun Bin?" ”。
When Wei Kai heard this, he immediately understood that his old mistake had been committed again, and now, among the countries, only Pang Juan, the general of Wei, was known, and Sun Bin, the military master of Qi State, was known. He immediately replied: "I heard the elders talk about Mr. Sun Bin and said that Mr. Sun Bin is no less than the general." In Xia Wei Kai, I apologized to Mr. Sun Bin for the rudeness just now", and then apologized to Sun Bin for drinking.
Guiguzi is quite mysterious, good at self-cultivation, proficient in mental speculation, understands the truth between rigidity and softness, and knows the strategy of vertical and horizontal. Guiguzi is in the same vein, and only two talented people are accepted as disciples every generation to teach their knowledge. It is rumored in the world that Guiguzi taught and taught the two of them the way to attack and defend. One is to attack, the other is to defend, and the winner of the two can go down the mountain, carrying the reputation of the Guigu lineage, and achieving great things in the world. However, when two bright people study together, there will inevitably be competition between teenagers. Sun Bin heard Wei Kai say that he was a big talent at this time, thinking that the world only knew Pang Juan but did not know him Sun Bin, he was inevitably disappointed in his heart, and his heart was more determined to be a scholar, thinking that he would also achieve great things like his classmate Pang Juan.
So, Sun Bin continued to ask: "Little brother, can you answer what Sun Bin asked just now and answer Sun Bin's doubts?" ”
When Wei Kai heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Wei is indeed a powerful country in the world now. However, the world has been divided for a long time. The original people of the Zhou Dynasty now began to call themselves Wei people, Song people, Qi people, Zhao people, ........ I am afraid that the virtue of the king of Wei can only be spread in Wei, not enough to spread in other countries and convince the people of other countries. As for following the example of the Duke of Zhou, the King of Wei turned out to be only a doctor of the Jin Dynasty, and later united with Zhao Han to carve up the Jin Kingdom. This was originally a great rebellion of the courtiers, but it was only in this chaotic world that people reluctantly accepted it. In addition, the Jin Dynasty was originally the fief of Tang Shuyu, the younger brother of King Cheng of Zhou, and it has been more than a hundred years since Wei replaced the Jin State, and now there are still people in the Zhou royal family who curse the rebellion of the Wei State and hope to restore the national glory of the Jin Dynasty. Zhou Gong's auxiliary government's idea is probably a dream. As for the other kingdoms, it is estimated that no monarch is willing to be a courtier and submit to the Wei state."
After Sun Bin heard this, he said: "What the little brother said is admirable." Sun Bin also believes that Wei is now strong, but it is not able to crush the strength of all other countries, and it may be inappropriate to rashly follow the royal road. We should use snobbery, follow the trend, accumulate national strength, and then do the king's way. Because of the time of the sky, because of the momentum of the earth, according to the interests of people and invincible", after speaking, he drank a glass of wine to Wei Kai to express his admiration for what Wei Kai said just now. Wei Kai also returned a glass of wine as a sign of etiquette.
Just as Wei Kai and Sun Bin were talking very harmoniously and staggering, suddenly, the surroundings instantly fell silent, and the people sitting on the side of the stage all looked at the two of them.
Wei Kai and Sun Bin also noticed the anomaly at this time, and then looked around. I saw that the general Pang Juan was wearing the clothes of a scholar and respectfully serving behind Sun Bin, and Wei Kai and Sun Bin were busy drinking and didn't know it.
Pang Juan said: "Senior brother came to Wei this time, why didn't you inform Juan? Pang Juan also prepared a banquet to catch the wind for his senior brother." Sun Bin saw Pang Juan standing respectfully behind him, drunk and hazy, and suddenly, remembered that when he and Pang Juan were studying, the two helped each other, those happy days. I thought that I must assist this classmate and best friend of mine this time. Then, he took Pang Juan's hand and said, "Juan, Sun Bin came to Wei this time to increase his knowledge through personal experience, so he didn't tell his junior brother. This is my Sun Bin's fault. Then he pointed at Wei Kai and said with a smile, and continued: "This is the little friend I met today, this person can speak well, no less than us."
Wei Kai had already woken up at this time, knelt on the ground, and thought:, the bitter master is holding the murderer's hand ........
recalled that on the court that day, the Pang Juan I saw was so domineering. Yes, if Gongsun is said to be a country, like a rock that does not move, is a shield of the Wei State, then Pang Juan is an extremely sharp sword, always shining there, whether you care about it or not, it is placed there. No matter how fearful and defensive you are, someone will die when the sword moves.
Now, seeing Pang Juan's respectful appearance towards Sun Bin, his heart is becoming more and more afraid. Originally, he wanted to rely on his unpredictable prophet to save Sun Bin just now, but now it seems that he can only wait for Sun Bin to help him when he is in trouble.
Wei Kai said to Pang Juan: "Wei Kai meets the general." Pang Juan handed over the somewhat drunk Sun Bin to the guards, and said to Wei Kai with a majestic face: "You said that you were willing to drive for the Great Wei in the court that day, why did you drink here?" Don't go to the barracks to report? ”。 Wei Kai immediately kowtowed again and again, and replied: "Wei Kai understands, Wei Kai understands."
After hearing this, Pang Juan took a deep look at Wei Kai, and then left directly. Pang Juan personally drove Sun Bin to his house, causing a sensation all the way.
When Pang Juan left, the people around him leaned over.
The crowd said, "That was the general just now?" Someone replied: "Yes, I am fortunate to see the general today, and the real ........" Some of them replied: "The general is in a high position, and he is still so polite and virtuous, what a gentleman", and another said: "I see that the general is so polite to the person just now, that person must be talented." My Wei country will be a wise man again, and the Wei country will be prosperous." Then, the person next to him broke out: "Cai", and returned to drink. As for Wei Kai, looking at his submissive appearance just now, he knew that he was just a vulgar person who was fortunate enough to get acquainted with the general's senior brother, so everyone stopped paying attention.
This is exactly what Wei Kai wants, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is a good strategy Wei Kai has made for himself at this stage.
After returning to the inn, Wei Kai felt lucky to meet Sun Bin today, and sympathized with Sun Bin for what was going to happen to him. But hearing Pang Juan's words leaving, Wei Kai felt frightened again, and only hoped that he would pretend to be submissive, so Pang Juan would not pay attention to himself, so he stayed in the inn and did not go out for a few days.
