Chapter 12: Corporal Lixian
When Bailiyan walked back to the Proton Mansion, in the Wangcheng Palace, the King of Jin and Gongshu Kuo all got the secret report, and told Bailiyan's whereabouts all the way thoroughly.
"The old man asked you, what books Gongziyan bought, who did he talk to, and who was the old man with the Ximen Academy."
"Back to Xiangguo, the book book that Gongzi Yan bought is called "The Literature of the Nations", and the old man accompanying him in the Ximen Academy wears yellow clothes, listens to the words of the bookmaker, and the old man's surname is Wu."
Hearing the word "Wu Calculation", Uncle Kuo was surprised:
"It's him!"
When King Jin heard the news, he said:
"Xiangguo, it seems that Master Wu Shu has arrived in the capital, and we are also in the dark."
"It seems that Wu is here in a boat, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast."
"But why did Gongzi Yan ask for "The Literature of the Nations", Xiangguo can know the mystery."
"It's hard to say. The "Models of the Nations" is a model of literacy, and there is no way to govern the country in it. This book was originally written by Liang Guo, and the original intention was to win the hearts of the people all over the world, so most of the books are the way to respect the king, and there is no practicality, let alone learning to put it into practice. ”
"It's hard to guarantee that Gongzi Yan can't be literate and self-taught, and this matter needs to be watched closely."
King Jin was worried, and Uncle Gong nodded in agreement:
"The old minister must strictly investigate and find out the truth."
Thinking of this, Uncle Kuo continued to ask the spy:
"Just now you said that Master Wu Shu once asked Gongzi Yan San, you can know the content."
"The calligrapher doesn't remember that much, but it's mostly a method of counting."
"Oh, so it seems that Gongzi Yan has answered!"
"Exactly. After that, he went to the inner courtyard with Ximen and Wu Shu to talk, as for what was discussed, there were only four people sitting on the ground in the Lan Pavilion at that time, and Gongzi Yan followed him, so he could not know. ”
Hearing this, Uncle Gong signaled the spies to step back, and when he was young, he was suspicious, and at this time, King Jin thought of it:
"Xiangguo, Wu is not trying to take Gongzi Yan as an apprentice."
"Never!" Uncle Kuo affirmed.
"How so?"
"According to the rules of the Ligong faction, the children of princes and nobles are not allowed to be disciples, and Wu Xuan will not know the door rules. Second, Wu Shu has dozens of disciples, and there are many capable people, and there is no shortage of Gongzi Yan. Third, Gongzi Yan is the proton of Qiguo, and Wu Shu accepted him as an apprentice in the Jin Kingdom, not only did not save him, but harmed him.
Imagine, if Wu Suan taught Gongzi Yan what he had learned all his life, and Gongzi Yan would one day return to Qiguo, how could Wei Guo let him go back, and he would definitely ask the king to strangle him at any cost. Compared with the Qi country, if our king can get the defense of the country and directly attack the country, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than the expedition of the labor division to occupy the country of Qi and then defend the country.
The old man could think that Wu Shugong would be able to expect it by counting the method. ”
"But Gongzi Yan is not sick and stupid, why can he answer Wu Shu's question, what is being talked about in the inner courtyard, Xiangguo has an opinion."
"This ...... The old man doesn't know...... However, Ximen Hua made an exception to sell "The Literature of the Nations" to Gongzi Yan, which is worth scrutinizing. But he doesn't have a long life, so what's the use of studying. In addition, when the third prince returned to the capital, he did not meet the king first, but went to the same book garden, and the king also needed to persuade Gongzi Chang not to be too feminine. ”
The widow knew about this matter, and when Chang'er returned to the palace, the widow asked him in person. However, Chang'er's return to the capital this time must be for the change of the law of Gongsun Yue of Xianguo, what is Xiangguo's opinion on this matter? ”
"Regarding Gongsun Yue's change of law, due to the strict investigation of spies in Xianguo, it is difficult for my country to know the opportunity to change the law. I have heard that although this Gongsun Yue is full of ambitions, he is a person who talks about war on paper. ”
Hearing this, King Jin's eyes lit up, sat back on the couch, took the citrus from the plate, and then divided half of it to Uncle Kuo, who bowed slightly and took it easily. At this time, the king of Jin asked while eating:
"How can Xiangguo see that Gongsun Yue has nothing to show for himself, and he can only talk on paper."
"This matter is still difficult to determine, but there is one thing that the old man can conclude that this so-called change is the foundation of the country, what is the foundation of the country, and the livelihood of the people in the world. In the common people, in addition to the monarch, there are not only relatives, relatives, and palace nobles, but also scholars, vassals, generals, and guards, and below them are all the people of the world.
Among them, the people in power are the three nobles, the defenders are the scholars, the vassals, the generals, and the guards, and the people of the world who defend the country. And the amount of livelihood in the world has a large limit, if you want to change the livelihood of the fundamental, the above three will be suspicious, and in the long run, the Xian country will be in chaos without a war. ”
"Oh, that Xiangguo thinks that my Jin Kingdom can change the law."
"No."
Uncle Kuo categorically denied King Jin, and King Jin was puzzled:
"Why can the law be changed in the world, but not in the Jin Kingdom."
"Lao Chen said, the law changer, is the change of the livelihood of the people in the world, before the day, you must not easily change the course, otherwise it will hurt the country. My Jin Kingdom is located in the Eastern Plains, the land is fertile and vast, the rice is abundant, and the people have enough food and clothing. However, the king should change the law for the king's hegemony as soon as possible, and invite Wu Shu to enter the palace as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, please ask Xiangguo to take a trip and invite Master Wu Shu to come, and the widow hopes that he will help Jin Guo achieve hegemony as soon as possible."
"No, when the third prince returns to the palace, the old man will ask for details, and he will immediately prepare a courtesy."
So in the evening of the same day, not long after Ji Chang left Tongshu Yuan and returned to the palace, Uncle Kuo went to Tongwen Yuan, and sent someone to pass the name to Ximenhua, Ximenhua transferred it to Wu Suan, and Wu Suan smiled:
"Uncle Kuo, Uncle Kuo, you have served three generations of kings and you are not satisfied, alas, ......"
Wu Suan shook his head, and Ximenhua asked:
"Master Wu Shu, what do you think Uncle Kuolai thinks?"
"It's just to ask the old man to help him achieve the hegemony of the Central Plains."
"Since there is a place to exert your fists and feet, why sigh."
"The Ximen Executive Court doesn't know, the Jin Kingdom has the sea as a screen in the east, the Song Kingdom is weak in the south, and although the Zhiguo in the west is strong, looking at it now, it is already strong in the internal and void, and the Jin Kingdom does not need an old man, and it can win in ten years, if the old man helps him to dominate, it is not a move to work the people and lose money."
"Well, that makes sense." Simon Hua agreed.
When the two were discussing, Uncle Kuo had already come to the library, and the bookmaker led Uncle Kuo straight to the main hall of the atrium.
But having said that, this Xiangguo is above 10,000 people under one person, why don't Ximen Hua and Wu Shu come out to greet it.
Not really. In these years, it is a thirst for talent, and powerful people are looking for people in turn, because you can, others can't, and you have scarcity.
What is Corporal Lixian, that is, no matter how big the official is, he should do it himself, especially the scarce product of "talent", a talent that can create great value, Wu Shu is such a person.
Uncle Kuo came all the way to the main hall of the atrium, Wu Suan, Ximenhua, and Saiqian stepped forward to greet each other, and Ximenhua raised his hand and said:
"Xiangguo is good."
Uncle Kuo returned the courtesy:
"Hehe, everything is fine." When the words fell, Uncle Gong's eyes fell on Wu Suan and said, "Dare to ask if this is Master Wu Suan." ”
Wu Suan calmly gave a salute first, and then said:
"It's polite to send Wu Gong."
"The master is exempt. Hearing that the master was coming to Pingtang, our king was very pleased, and asked the old minister to come and invite him on his behalf. ”
"Hehaha......" Wu Shu laughed: "It's easy to say, Xiangguo, please." ”
Wu Shu motioned for his uncle to enter the room, and his uncle's eyes were wide and fell on Sai Qian's body, and his chest suddenly soared:
"This is the long-known royal guest Sai Qianhu!"
Ximenhua took over the conversation:
"The old man introduced me, this is the Sai Qian who once picked up hundreds of soldiers and was undefeated."
At this time, Sai Qian stepped forward and hugged his fist and saluted:
"Yuke Saiqian, I've seen Jin Xiang."
"Guests are exempt. It is often heard that the royal guest has a strong temperament, and it is well known today. Dare to ask Master Saiqian, why are you here today? ”
"Back to the Jin Dynasty, I went south to the Song Kingdom in Xiayuan, and met Master Wu on the road, so I traveled together and came to drink."
Sai Qian's encounter with Wu Xuan was purely accidental, Sai Qian originally wanted to go to the Song Kingdom, and Wu Xuan happened to receive an invitation from Ximenhua, and the two met unexpectedly, so they simply went together to eat and drink together.
Hearing this, Uncle Kuo pretended to be enlightened, and then entered the hall with the three of them to speak.
