If life is a candle, then I am afraid that my current self is like that candle. Although it can also shine and heat, it is only to use all its energy to show its final glory.

King Wei tried to open his eyes, wanted to turn his head, tried his best but couldn't, wanted to raise his hand, still couldn't move, as for his feet, let alone think about it. All he can do now is try to keep himself from falling asleep so quickly, and be attached to the light of this world.

Under the main hall, there was already a sound of weeping, and he didn't even have to look at it, but he knew that there were his ministers, his concubines, and his children kneeling there. Some of them are heartbroken, some are nostalgic, and some of them may be happy.

What hurts your heart is not necessarily really heartache, but what you are happy must be really happy.

What are they happy about? Happy that you're a mediocre person, are you finally going to close your eyes?

Uncle acne, presumably he will resent the widow. Hate me for not listening to your advice back then, and let Wei Ying go. But the widow can't use him, his set of things, although it is beneficial to the Wei State, but the other clansmen oppose it, if it is forcefully implemented, the Wei State, which is already a land of four wars, who will defend the widow? What's more, at that time, Han and Zhao were eyeing the widow, and if they couldn't unite the clan brothers, the widow would really be alone. Don't believe it, when Wei Ying arrived in the Qin State, he dealt with it according to his set, and didn't he end up with a split body?

Sun Bin, you also complain about the widow. Yes, it was a widow who sent you to prison, and it was a widow who cut off your feet. But there is no way, the evidence provided by Pang Juan is conclusive, and the widow has to punish you. Because the widow still has to rely on Pang Juan to fight in all directions, who made him snow the shame of the widow and defeat Handan? Who asked him to lead the soldiers of the Wei State and win all battles? Then it can only be bitter for you.

There are also Gongsun Yan and Hui Shi. Although one of you is for your own personal vendetta, and the other is for your own political opinions, you are also angry with the widow. Blame me for introducing Zhang Yi as Xiangguo and rejecting you. But at the border of Chen Bing of the Qin State, even if I knew that he was a two-faced person, I had to do that.

When he ascended to the throne, he was young and vigorous, adhering to the will of his ancestors, but he was bullied by Zhao and Han, and later became angry and tried to be strong, appointed Pang Juan, and moved the capital to Liang. Some people say that Wei did not work hard in Anyi, but went to the Central Plains to enjoy peace, resulting in the land of the four wars, there was no natural danger to defend, and the land of Hexi was exposed to Qin. How do they know that although Anyi has a dangerous terrain and fertile land, it has a strong defensive pressure, if the capital is not moved to Daliang, I am afraid that Zhao will cross the Zhangshui, and the land of Hanoi will fall into the hands of the enemy. Lost a place west of the river, in exchange for the stability of the east of the river in Hanoi, where is the fault of the widow?

Okay, you all blame the widow, anyway, the widow has run out of oil, a piece of history needs a label, a footnote, then this label, this footnote, let the widow take responsibility. In his eighties, what else can a widow hope for?

"Come... Someone"

"Father, father, the child is here, the child is here..."The prince knelt in front of the collapse, looked at the old man in front of him, and couldn't cry anymore.

King Wei looked at him, both happy and regretful. Now that the situation in Wei is beyond his power, although the prince has been an adult for a long time, he is not sure whether he can take on this heavy responsibility.

"Ling, Gongsun Yan... For the phase, Hui... Hui Shi Weiqing..."King Wei craned his neck, trying to use all the strength of his body to speak, although he felt that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier.

"It's... Yes..."

Gongsun Yan was at the end of everyone, although the voice of King Wei was not loud, but at this moment in the hall, the needle could be heard, and he also heard the appointment of King Wei, so he hurriedly went out of the ranks, walked to the bed of King Wei, knelt down and said: "Obey." ”

King Wei didn't look at him, because he knew that this was a choice without a choice, although Gongsun Yan's purpose was not pure, but apart from him, King Wei couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to help the crown prince take on this heavy responsibility. Although Hui Shi can also be, but his governance measures are really not the way to survive in this troubled era, maybe only Gongsun Yan, he is not worried that Gongsun Yan will betray the Wei State, because only in the Wei State, Gongsun Yan will display his talent to the greatest extent possible to fight against the Qin State, and only Gongsun Yan can fight against Zhang Yi. And Hui Shi is loyal and commendable, and he can ensure that the prince is safe.

"Widow... The widow wasted eighty years, and he began to ascend to the throne at the age of thirty, although ... There are ancestors... The will, Nai... However, there is no text... Wenhou's strategy, and there is no martial arts... Military... Hou Zhi's martial arts, east... Defeated by... Qi, West... Mourning Qin... Seven... Seven... More than 100 miles, the south is humiliated... Chu..., this widow... The loss of man..."

When everyone heard this, King Wei began to review his life, knowing that his limit had come, and wept incessantly. The prince was already crying and was not human. Only Gongsun Yan, although he was also a little sad in his heart, he did not lose his demeanor.

In Gongsun Yan's view, although the King of Wei witnessed the decline of Wei's hegemony in his life, this is indeed not just his problem, the richest land in the Three Jin Dynasty seized by Wei should have recuperated and trained his troops to hibernation. However, first Wei Wenhou did not listen to Wu Qi's advice and did not take the opportunity to destroy the Qin State, but destroyed Zhongshan across the Zhao State, so that as soon as the Wei people left Zhongshan, the Xianbei people rose up and re-established Zhongshan. And now, the Zhao State can advance northward, and the Wei State can destroy Zhongshan without mentioning it.

Later, Marquis Wu succeeded to the throne, changing the atmosphere of "selecting talents and appointing talents, and being politically harmonious", not only selecting nobles to hold important positions, but also squeezing out Wu Qi and others, forcing them to leave Wei. At the same time, enemies were made on all sides, the alliance with Zhao broke in the north, the Chu State was pressed in the south, and the Qin State was rejected in the east to withdraw from Hanoi.

But these two forgot that although they inherited most of the land of the Jin Kingdom, they were not the Jin Kingdom after all. The land east of Hanoi that he occupies is a land of abundant water and soil, and there is no natural danger to serve, and he still fights everywhere, in a vain attempt to improve his strength through conquest, so as to lower the geographical gap with other countries, but he does not know that this can only obtain temporary benefits, but it cannot last long, and it is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst. Finally, when the King of Wei is alive today, an irreparable situation has been created.

"Wait... While... To defend the land... In order to..., don't... Light start... Soldier... After speaking, King Wei's face turned red, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it anymore, and finally he couldn't lift it in one breath, so he drove to the west.

Seeing that King Wei was no longer speech, the prince's eyes were red, and he raised his right hand tremblingly and put it on King Wei's snort, but he didn't react, and finally cried loudly, "Father! He leaned over the ground and wept bitterly. Everyone in the hall knew that King Wei had already choked his breath, and there was no sound, whether it was true or false, and he cried bitterly.

In the majestic city of the Great Liang King, a solemn bell rang, and under the reflection of the setting sun, the sky seemed to tear a wound, and the sky was full of blood.

Zhao Guo, Handan.

At the bustling city gate, a group of people in plain cloth came from afar, and among the crowd, an ox cart was particularly abrupt, and the most abrupt thing was actually that there was an old man sitting on the ox cart. The old man was about fifty years old, and his expression was solemn, but his clothes were not neat, and he was obviously tired of traveling.

The old man stood in the car, looking at the people coming and going on the street, looking at the streets being renovated, the city walls being repaired, and the drainage pipes being built, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master, it's not early today, let's find a place to stay for the night." Next to the ox cart, a middle-aged man said.

"Well, we still have some money, or we can go to the post house for a day or two, and then choose the opportunity to meet King Zhao."

"Yes."

"Master, everyone says that Zhao Guo has many Hu habits, likes to wear Hu clothes, and Hu Feng is very heavy. Today, it doesn't seem to be so. Another middle-aged man said, "It seems that there are many people who have a bit of temperament and talk well." ”

The master didn't say a word, but slowly, he saw that although these people were in twos and threes, their destinations seemed to be the same, that is, an exquisite courtyard on the long street, and the style was not similar to other houses.

The wooden gate, with pillars on both sides, turned out to be made of stone, and a two-person high wall stretched with rammed earth in the east and west directions, with terracotta tiles on top. The gate resembles an archway, there are four seal characters on both sides, a book "high crown Bo belt", a cloud "harmony and difference". The gate is black, the copper nail beast ring, and the indescribable solemnity. Above the gate, there are four seal characters: "Abandon the Wisdom Palace". While everyone was watching, many people also walked inside.

"I didn't expect Handan to have a school palace, it's really a strange thing. It's just that the name of this school palace is also strange, since it is a school palace, why is it called the Abandoned Wisdom Palace? Since you have abandoned your wisdom, why do you want to come to the school palace? It's really weird. One of them chuckled.

"The meaning of abandoning wisdom may not be the meaning of what is said." Another student couldn't help but say with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Oh?" The man who was called Chongyu scratched his head, couldn't help but look at the three plaques again, and couldn't help asking, "What is the explanation of that?" I also ask Brother Gongsun to explain. ”

These twelve words all have a great origin, and they seem to have a deep meaning when they stand here. For example, the four words "high crown and broad belt" are what Mo Zhai said in the past, that is, "the former Qi Huan Gong, high crown and broad belt, golden sword and wooden shield, to govern the country", originally meant to be a dress, but here, it seems to refer to the person who enters this door, should be a virtuous person, otherwise, he will never use a high crown and a broad belt. ”

"These other four words, 'harmony but difference', are the quotations of Confucius, the so-called 'gentlemen are harmonious but different, villains are the same but not harmonious', which means that different opinions can be expressed."

"Yes, this renunciation of wisdom also has a canon, which should be 'absolute saint abandonment of wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundred times; Absolute benevolence and abandonment of righteousness, and the people restore filial piety; Absolute abandonment of profit, no thief', this absolute abandonment of wisdom, used here, should not be to believe in a person's words, but to have the meaning of self-thinking. After that, he saw that the master beside him had his eyes shining, so he leaned over and asked, "Master, is what we said right?" ”

"What Gongsun Chou, Le Zhengzi and Wan Zhang said should be the intention of these twelve words here." After that, he smiled and nodded, "Originally, I left the Wei State, and I should go to the Qi State to Panhuan, but at the border of the Wei State, I heard that King Zhao practiced benevolent government, and the people of other countries came to hear the wind." Only then did he turn back to Zhao Guo to find out. I didn't expect to see King Zhao yet, but I saw this quite clever school palace, just twelve words, but with the words of Mo Zhai Kong's three families, the talent, rules and purpose of this school palace, every word is beautiful, it is really eye-opening, so, I will enter the palace first, and then look for a place to live. ”

With an expression of expectation, everyone quickly straightened up and prepared to enter with the others. Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and everyone hastened to dodge, only to see a fast horse galloping past the city gate, stirring up a burst of dirt, causing passers-by to cover their noses and dust their sleeves, and watch the horses drive towards the royal city. Wan Zhang and the others scolded lightly, while tidying up their clothes again and walking towards the palace.

Wan Zhang and the others did not show it for the time being, but said that this fast horse was a fast horse, and he galloped to the gate of the king's city, and did not dismount, and shouted loudly: "Feihong envoy, open the door quickly." The city gate guard did not dare to delay, and hurriedly stepped forward to check his identity and open the city gate. He didn't get off the horse, he came directly to Longtai, only to abandon the horse, verify his identity, use his last strength, and hand it over to the duty room in the side hall of the White Tiger Hall, and watched the secret letter enter the hall with his own eyes, and handed it over to a well-dressed official, and four people surrounded him, only to have weak legs and almost want to fall. Fortunately, the guards on both sides had already seen the surprise, supported him, and placed him aside for a while.

Leaning slightly, the door of the temple opened again, and five people walked out in turn, walking past him with an urgent expression, not caring about himself at all, and entering the main hall, he knew that the news he brought was not small.

"The King of Wei has passed away." On the top of the main hall, Zhao Yong took the silk book handed over by Zhao Bao, was very calm, and said slowly: "It's really a wave of unsettled waves." ”

The first chapter of the book is confiscated.

(End of chapter)
