Chapter 108: Spoiled

Chen Zheng, who returned to Handan, just wanted to find a place to sleep for three days and three nights, but he couldn't withstand Zhao Sheng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and was finally dragged to the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion.

Before leaving, Chen Zheng instructed the old servant to lead the three carriages full of treasures to Yiren, and he and Xunzi and others would arrive a little later.

Zhao Sheng saw that Chen Zheng returned with a full load, and he also guessed eight or nine points in his heart, and when he saw those bows and crossbows shipped from South Korea, he was even more happy.

At the reception dinner in the Plains Monarch's Mansion, Zhao Sheng frequently greeted Chen Zheng and others, which were nothing more than some high-sounding polite words, beautiful words that came out of his throat.

"Brother Lu's trip to Xianyang is thrilling and dangerous, and he is really a blessed person. The elder brother is not only the benefactor of the alien son, but also a great contribution to Zhao Guoguo! Come on, come on, for Brother Lu's victorious return, for the reconciliation of Han and Zhao, and for Mr. Xunzi's return to his homeland, let's drink another bottle. Zhao Sheng raised the wine bottle and glanced at the doormen in the banquet, and those doormen understood and stood up one after another, and surrounded Chen Zheng and the others.

Chen Zheng wondered in his heart, how did Zhao Sheng know that Mrs. Huayang had recognized Yiren as her son? There really is no impermeable wall in the world. I don't know if I've been gone for so many days, what is the current situation of Yiren and Zhao Ji?

Even if he was full of concerns, Chen Zheng did not forget to remind: "Pingyuanjun, right now, the Qin State is recruiting soldiers, collecting grain and grass because of the breaking of the agreement between Han and Zhao, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be coming to Handan in a few days, we can't take it lightly!" ”

Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said: "The Qin State only sent a five-doctor Wang Ling to be stationed in the party this time, and the elder brother also asked for a great name for the alien, so he Qin Guo can't do anything." I, Zhao Guo, an old general of Lian Po, guards Handan, and there is only one royal tomb. Hahahaha! Even if the Qin army fights, we just need to tie that stranger to the city gate and discipline the Qin army to retreat without a fight. ”

Looking at the pedantic Zhao Sheng in front of him, Chen Zheng really wanted to talk about it, wanted to cry without tears, and eased his emotions and said: "Although the Qin State did not send Bai Qi to lead the troops, but Wang Ling, Wang Ji and Sima Terrier are all fierce generals that should not be underestimated, even if they can't attack Handan City this time, they will besiege the city for several years. If Pingyuan Jun didn't plan early, I am afraid that the people of Handan would suffer. ”

"Years of siege? Brother Lu is inevitably serious, right? Lord Yu Qing will return to Zhao from Qi in a few days, as long as there is grain borrowed from Qi State, plus the tacit understanding reached with Korea, Wei State, and Chu State, haha, I don't believe that his hundreds of thousands of Qin troops can spend a few years under Handan City. "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has clouds: treat the near and far, treat the labor with the, treat the hungry with the full, and the ruler is also; Those who are in the battlefield first and wait for the enemy, and those who are in the battlefield and tend to fight later; Therefore, those who are good at fighting will cause others but not others. The Qin army crossed the mountains and mountains and traveled for a long time, and it was good that the grain of the Qin State could support half a year. ”

All the guests present praised one after another: "Pingyuan-kun is really high! Admire, admire! ”

Just when Zhao Sheng was proud, Xun Zi arched his hand and said: "Pingyuan Jun, what Brother Lu said must not be ignored and not careless!" The old man saw it with his own eyes in the Qin State, the law and discipline in the Qin State were rectified, and the Qin army was even more brave and good at fighting. Zhao State killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of horses in the Battle of Changping, if the Qin State poured the whole country's troops to attack, the safety of Handan City was only in the mist, and it was hoped that the King of Zhao and the King of Pingyuan would see clearly. ”

Zhao Sheng seemed to be in a hurry to change the topic and said, "Okay, good! In any case, Mr. Xunzi and Brother Lu are both thinking about the Zhao State, and when Lord Yu Qing returns from the Qi State, the two of them will meet King Zhao with me, and we will discuss the plan. Come on, come on, I'll pay tribute to you for King Zhao, do it! ”

Chen Zheng saw that Zhao Sheng looked like a light enemy, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he took advantage of a gap in the banquet and got up and said: "I'll wait for the return from afar, it's better to retire first, and come back another day to bother." ”

Zhao Sheng was in the middle of his wine, and just as he was about to keep it, Chen Zheng stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Pingyuanjun, please take a step to speak." ”

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and walked out, and only Zhao Sheng and Chen Zheng were left in the living room.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Chen Zheng took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and said, "Pingyuanjun, please take a look." ”

Zhao Sheng took the bamboo slip and unfolded it on the table, looking at the dense names on it, but it was not clear.

After listening to Chen Zheng's explanation, Zhao Sheng was so angry that he scolded repeatedly, thanked Chen Zheng again and again, and immediately said that he would immediately send someone to catch all the "Feng Ah Da and Old K of Spades" on the list.

Leaving the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion, Chen Zheng got into Zhao Sheng's carriage and went to Yiren's residence with Xunzi, Han Fei and Li Mu.

At this time, Yiren, Mao Sui and the old servant were looking outside the gate frequently, waiting, when they saw Chen Zheng and his party appear in the night, Yiren ran over in three steps and two steps.

Chen Zheng got out of the carriage and looked, why is Mao Sui here? Why are there so many guards at the door?

Sending Zhao Sheng's carriage back, Chen Zheng sat in the living room and asked, only to find out that Mao Sui wanted to leave Handan to find another job, just waiting for Chen Zheng to come back from Xianyang and see each other, then he was going to roll up the cover and go to the cave. As for the guards at the door, they were ordered by Zhao Sheng to suddenly double their number.

I don't know if Mao Sui was buried by Zhao Sheng's 3,000 guests, or Mao Sui himself was a grain of sand, anyway, at this time, Mao Sui had gradually detached from the orbit of Zhao Sheng's star and turned into a small black meteorite. It's no wonder that countless people of all colors around Zhao Sheng are competing for beauty and fierceness like dazzling meteor showers, and Mao Sui, a young man from a poor background, can only look at his teammates who were suspended by helicopters and carried away by cars in this marathon race for fame and fortune.

When Yiren heard that the big brother Lu in front of him had a trip to Xianyang, he turned his chicken into a phoenix and a little earthworm on his tongue and turned into a little green dragon, one eye was full of surprise, and the other eye was full of gratitude. Especially when he heard that Brother Lu also went to visit his biological mother, he burst into tears. Regardless of whether he can be the prince and king of Qin in the future, it is worth dying for this counterattack of the salted fish turning over!

Chen Zheng looked at Yiren and said in a sincere tone: "Brother Yiren, from now on, no matter whether others look up to you or look down on you, at least we must look up to ourselves, and in the days to come, we must stand up and be a man, face is not given by others, let alone charity, and we must rely on our own efforts to live a dignified life." We will never bow our heads in front of those who look down on us, nor will we compromise in front of those snobs, sooner or later, we will let them become little ants on the ground, we can't see them, but let them look up to us every day, envy us, and never reach us. ”

Yiren looked at Chen Zheng with a pair of misty teary eyes, and nodded courageously.

Mao Sui on the side said angrily: "The Plains Junfu is a place where villains gather together, what three thousand guests, are all vain and sycophant, if none of them can be relied on in terms of real skills, when it comes to slapping horses and bragging, it is a gathering of talents, all of them are top-notch, how can I be with them?!" ”

Chen Zheng thought to himself, you don't have to do anything! Every day, I look like I don't meet a talented and cynical look, how beautiful I look at myself in the mirror at home, how I look at others when I go out, and you are the only one left on the earth to make you satisfied, right?!

"Brother Mao Sui, my brother has a few words to say to you, if you think it makes sense, you can stay, if you think it doesn't make sense, then go and stay for yourself, how about it?"

Mao Sui said disapprehantly: "Big brother, please speak." ”

"According to what you said, those disciples of Plains Jun are all people who don't learn and don't know how to do it, but I don't think that's the case. The so-called ruler is short, inch is long, everyone has advantages and disadvantages, but some advantages are greater than disadvantages, some disadvantages are greater than advantages, the key is how you as a bystander to see. If you stare at the shortcomings of others all day long and only think about your own strengths, then you will feel unhappy wherever you go. We should look at the strengths of others, learn more from others' strengths, look at our own shortcomings, and make up for our own shortcomings, so that you can integrate into the surrounding environment. Also, a person who is really capable is definitely not a person who admires himself and stands out from the crowd, no matter how capable you are, others reject you, resist you, and alienate you, what can you do? Do you want Pingyuan Jun to disband all his three thousand disciples and reuse you alone? Besides, it's actually a good thing that you're not valued by others now, and that people don't even take you seriously. First, you can concentrate on studying and improving your skills, and secondly, you can also take this opportunity to see the people around you clearly, you need to know that people are facing smiling faces when they are in high positions, and only in low places can you see everyone's true faces. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. When you don't have a chance, you should enrich yourself while waiting for the opportunity, and when the opportunity comes, you must seize the opportunity and seize the opportunity. If you complain all day long, complain and complain, like a resentful woman, even if the opportunity comes, she will miss you. Do you understand? ”

Yiren clapped his hands and said: "This is what Brother Lu once said, 'If you don't fly, you will soar into the sky, and if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster', right?!" ”

Xunzi twisted his beard and smiled: "It seems that Brother Lu's knowledge has grown again!" ”

Chen Zheng waved his hand and smiled: "Where, where!" This is just a humble opinion that I was forced out by others. ”

"Hahahaha!" Xunzi raised his head and laughed, his eyes were like torches, and he said: "There are so many villains in the world who chase fame and fortune, they are everywhere and all the time. The old man has a word to give to this old brother Mao Sui. Zi said: The gentleman is harmonious but different, and the villain is the same but not harmonious. No matter what kind of environment a gentleman is in, he must also maintain a friendly relationship with the people around him, and must not be arrogant and make enemies everywhere, that is to say, even if he is a person with a different path, as long as he is about to leave, keep a safe distance, and stick to the concentration in his heart. And what about the villains? They will only blindly cater to others, as long as it is in their interests, they don't care what is good and evil, beautiful and ugly, right and wrong. Lao Tzu said: If you are frightened by humiliation, you are in great trouble. Do you know what that means? ”

Everyone present looked at Xunzi blankly.

"Hahahaha! The old man is showing off his tongue in front of you. What Lao Tzu means by this sentence is that receiving the favor of others and being bullied by others is like being frightened, and such a person is like being seriously ill! ”

Han Fei said: "Also, please first, Mr. Finger, advise." ”

"Haha! People in the world often attach too much importance to themselves, how can they be calm and calm in the face of gains and losses, honor and disgrace? ! If you put yourself between heaven and earth, and become one with heaven and earth, how can you suffer from gains and losses?! Fish will flock to bait when they see it, flee when frightened, and dogs will shake their heads and tail when they see bones, and bark when they are driven away. How can a gentleman be the same as a fish and a dog? If people are kind to you and praise you a few words, you will be happy and don't know why, and if you are not good to you and a few words of cynicism will make you feel indignant for a long time, then you are not controlled by others, and where is your ego? If you give your happiness or loss, joy or sadness to others, then you will only drift and fluctuate with the world outside your heart, and you will never be stable and pure for the rest of your life. A person who is moody and unhappy is not a person who is seriously ill and cannot help himself! ”

Chen Zheng said thoughtfully: "As an ordinary person, we care too much about things in our hearts, always care about our own evaluation and attitude in others, always want to get more money, higher status so that others can look up to themselves, and even envy themselves, compliment themselves, and worship themselves. ”

Xunzi said: "The more things you cling to in your heart, the less free your heart will be, and the more constraints and fetters you will receive." Only when you reach the realm of pampering and humiliation, and are not confused, troubled, or swayed by things in front of you and the outside world, can you be calm, lightweight, and become a person worthy of great responsibilities! ”

Mao Sui was ashamed and said: "After listening to the opinions of Mr. and eldest brother, I woke up like a dream!" In front of the two of you, I am indeed shallow. If you value what others think of you, you will lose yourself and lose yourself. Looking back, I really lived in vain for more than 20 years. ”

Chen Zheng smiled and said: "If the elder brother wants to leave, no one can stop him, if he doesn't leave, he will be wronged for a while in the three thousand disciples of Pingyuan Jun, and there will definitely be a chance for the elder brother to shine in the future." ”

Mao Sui waved his hand one after another and said that he would stay in Handan and not go anywhere.

Everyone talked about it very late around the fireplace, and Xunzi was present, and he was full of witty words and cheers.

Chen Zheng looked at the haggard stranger, but now he had a different look, and he was still relieved in his heart.

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Chen Zheng decided to take Yiren to Zhao Ji, thinking that it was not appropriate for others to be present, so he sent Li Mu home to visit relatives, and asked Mao Sui to lead Xunzi and Han Fei to wander around Handan City.

Xunzi has also been adrift for many years and has not returned to Handan, so he just took this opportunity to feel the breath of his hometown.

After the others left, Chen Zheng beckoned the old servant to set up the carriage and take the stranger to Zhao Ji's mansion.

The few guards sent by Zhao Sheng didn't dare to ask more, so they had to trot all the way and follow not far behind the carriage.

Unexpectedly, when he walked around a corner, a scream suddenly came from the carriage, and the old servant tightened the reins violently, and Chen Zheng and Yiren, who were sitting in the carriage, were almost taken out of the carriage by inertia.

Yiren just wanted to poke his head out to see what was going on, but was pulled by Chen Zheng, and first stabilized his mind in the carriage and looked at the direction of the wind.

I heard a person outside the carriage shouting, "You old thing doesn't have long eyes, don't you?" Look at you hit the master, tell you, you have a big problem, what do you say? ! ”

The old servant jumped out of the carriage and walked over, "Boy, it wasn't my carriage that hit you, it was you who hit me, right?" As soon as my carriage turned around, you kid rushed head-on, and before you were next to you, you were lying on the ground, and everyone who passed by saw it, so don't try to slander people. ”

The other one was not ambiguous, lying on the ground and pointing around: "Which of you has seen it?" Stand out! ”

There were really two people walking out of the side, raising their hands and saying, "We saw it, it was the carriage that hit you, that's right, we can't let them run." ”

The old servant was also helpless: "What do you want?" ”

The man stretched out his right hand, stretched out his fingers, and said, "Five hundred thousand? You knocked the master into a disability, and you can't have one less! ”
