Qin Yu sent an envoy to Zhaoguo as an envoy, arrived at the palace of Zhaoguo, and met King Zhao.

King Zhao was very unhappy at this time, the monarch of the Northern Dynasty first asked King Zhao for help, and the last time he tried to ask for help, he didn't give up.

also asked Qin Yu, the crown prince of the Northern Dynasty, to ask Zhao Guo to send troops, so Qin Yu just saw King Zhao, and King Zhao planned to give him a dismount.

When King Zhao received Qin Yu in the main hall of Zhaoguo, he shouted very unceremoniously: "Qin Yu, you come forward!" ”

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qin Yu was not afraid, but shouted very calmly: "King, you come forward!" King Zhao was very unhappy when he heard this.

At this time, the ministers of the Zhaoguo Kingdom standing in the main hall all reproached Qin Yu: "The king is the king, and you are only the envoy of the Northern Dynasty, the king asked you to come forward, and you also called the king to come forward, wouldn't it be a loss of etiquette to do so!" ”

Qin Yu replied: "If I step forward, it will be a matter of clinging to power; And when the king stepped forward, he was a wise man; Because this mission to Zhaoguo is not only for the safety of the Northern Dynasty, but also because of you, the king! Therefore, instead of telling me to become powerful, it is better to let the king submit to the Magi! ”

King Zhao was furious, he glared at Qin Yu with his eyes and said, "Is it the noble monarch or the noble Magi?" ”

The expression on Qin Yu's face suddenly became serious: "Of course the wise man is noble, and the monarch is not noble." ”

King Zhao asked suspiciously, "Is there any basis for what you say?" ”

Qin Yu still looked calm: "In the past, King Zhaowu, the previous monarch of the Zhao Kingdom, sent troops to attack the Western Zhou Kingdom, and King Zhaowu ordered: 'Anyone who dares to collect firewood within fifty steps of the tomb of the wise men of the Zhao Kingdom will not be forgiven for his capital crime. He also ordered: "Those who have obtained the head of the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty will be sealed as the marquis of ten thousand households and rewarded with a thousand gold medals." From this it can be seen that the head of a living king is not as good as the tomb of a dead Magi. ”

King Zhao was speechless, but he was very unhappy in his heart, because Qin Yu had just moved out of the previous monarch of Zhao Kingdom to suppress him, and King Zhao would definitely not dare to be disrespectful.

When Meng Qing, the minister of the Zhao Kingdom, heard this, he stepped forward and said to Qin Yu: "Gongzi Yu, the king is the king of this trillion country, and the king has the country of a thousand times, and he can make a bell and a stand of a thousand stones; All the benevolent and righteous men of the whole world came to serve the king with admiration; The wise men came to advise the king; There is no small country in the east, west, north and south that does not come to the court and submit; There are all the things you want, and there is nothing that the common people are not close to and obey. Those ordinary people, walking on foot and farming for a living; As for the ordinary scholars, they lived in the countryside and were engaged in lowly occupations such as guarding the gates, so the status of the scholars was very low! ”

Qin Yu retorted: "It's not like this! There are three reasons: First: I heard that in the ancient Yu era, there were tens of thousands of vassal states. Why? It was because of the kindness of these princes that they received the full support of the Magi. It is also for this reason that Shun, a farmer born in the countryside, can become the son of heaven. By the time of Shang Tang, there were still as many as 3,000 princes, but today, there are only 24 princes left who can be widowed in the south. From this point of view, isn't it the difference caused by the nobles of the princes? If you allow the invasion and annexation of the princes, how can you do it, even if you want to become an ordinary scholar in the countryside? ”

After listening to Qin Yu's words, no one in the Zhaoguo Hall expressed an opinion, so Qin Yu continued: "Second: "Yi Chuan" says: 'If a person in a high position does not have actual ability, but only likes to be famous, he will definitely be arrogant and lascivious. Be arrogant and extravagant, and disaster will come. Therefore, it is said: 'A person who is proud of his achievements cannot become famous, and a person who is a master of the eyes and a low level cannot be successful.' It's all about people who are trying to get away with fame and are flashy. That's why it is said, 'The invisible thing is the root of the tangible; And having no clue is the source of things. 'Being able to trace its origin and open its way is the pursuit of the most holy and virtuous, how can there be unsatisfactory results? ”

On the main hall, the monarchs and ministers of Zhaoguo listened to Qin Yu's explanation, and they all secretly admired it in their hearts.

At this time, King Zhao was thoughtful, Qin Yu saw King Zhao's expression, and a slight smile rose on the corner of his mouth, because he knew that at this moment, King Zhao agreed with what he said just now.

So Qin Yu continued: "Third: "Lao Tzu" has such words: 'Although noble, it must be based on lowliness. As noble as it is, it must be based on inferiority. Therefore, the princes and kings all claim to be lonely, widowed, and unstable, which is based on lowliness. Anyone who is called lonely or widowed is a sign that people are in the lower strata of society because of poverty and lowliness; But when the princes and kings use them to call themselves, are they not honored the wise men by subserviencing themselves? ”

In the main hall, the courtiers of Zhaoguo, you look at me, I look at you, all speechless.

King Zhao showed a slight smile at this moment, and exclaimed: "This king has been taught!" ”

At this time, the ministers of Zhaoguo admired each other in their hearts, not only admired the talent of Gongzi Qin Yu, but also the character of Zhaowang has always been arrogant, and no one has ever been able to impress Zhaowang.

Next, King Zhao asked Qin Yu: "Last time, the king of the Northern Dynasty personally came to Zhaoguo to borrow troops from the widow, and the widow refused him because the army in the court was invincible, does the king of the Northern Dynasty resent the widow at this moment?" ”

Qin Yu replied: "If he doesn't resent it, who can resent the king?" The ministers are worried about the king! ”

King Zhao asked puzzledly, "What are you worried about?" ”

Qin Yu replied: "The king of the Northern Dynasty was once the leader of the Western Zhou Kingdom, and he once defended the king with his own country, but now the king refuses to rescue the Northern Dynasty. ”

After hearing this, King Zhao felt a little ashamed.

Qin Yu continued: "The foreign minister thinks that if the Western Zhou State captures the territory of the Northern Dynasty, the monarch of the Northern Dynasty will definitely belong to the Western Zhou State. Once the Northern Dynasty was annexed to the Western Zhou Kingdom, the Western Zhou Dynasty King would definitely use all the troops outside the Saiwai to attack the Zhao Kingdom together with the Northern Dynasty army. ”

King Zhao was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "In that case, according to Mr.'s opinion, what should the widow do?" ”

Qin Yu replied: "The monarch of the Northern Dynasty was unwilling to belong to the Western Zhou Kingdom, and he usually liked to be comfortable. According to the opinion of the foreign ministers, the king might as well agree to send Zhaoguo soldiers to defend the Northern Dynasty and give it to Wenyuan. In this way, on the one hand, the Northern Dynasty has reinforcements to resist the invasion of the Western Zhou State, and as long as the country is stable, the monarch of the Northern Dynasty will have something to explain to the people. ”

In the main hall, the ministers of Zhaoguo thought that Qin Yu's proposal would not be accepted by King Zhao, so they retorted in the palace: "Gongziyu is so big-hearted, in addition to asking Zhaoguo to send troops, he also wants Zhaoguo's Wenyuan in vain. ”

At this time, King Zhao listened to Qin Yu's words, but he was surprisingly calm: "Let him continue!" ”

"These two, the Northern Dynasty monarch coveted Wenyuan for amusement, and he would definitely not belong to the Western Zhou Kingdom. The foreign minister heard that Wen Yuan's annual income was eighty gold. After the Northern Dynasty Emperor obtained the Wen Garden, he would present one hundred and twenty eridium gold to the king every year. This means that after giving Wen Yuan to the monarch of the Northern Dynasty, the king can earn forty gold per year! ”

Qin Yu is cutting off his worries for King Zhao, and he can also make money for King Zhao.

After hearing the great joy, King Zhao hurriedly sent Zhao soldiers to guard the Northern Dynasty, and sent the minister Meng Qing to prepare a carriage to send the envoy of the Northern Dynasty Qin Yu to Wenyuan to watch, and His Royal Highness the Prince went to the post house to pick up Yue'er.
