If Fusu knew the recruitment method discussed by Liao Zhi and others, he would definitely be very happy, isn't this the written examination used in all civil servant recruitment.
It's a pity that Fusu only stayed in the school palace for two days, and he didn't wait for him to see the detailed measures used by Liao Zhi and others to recruit people, and he didn't find a solution to the excessive loss of movable type used for printing, so he was recalled to Xianyang by Yingzheng.
The demise of Korea made the other five great powers tremble, except for Zhao State, which single-mindedly fought with Qin State to the end, the other four countries successively sent envoys to Qin State to renegotiate the alliance with Qin State. The demise of Korea should have been a wake-up call for the Five Kingdoms, but there were always people who did not want to believe in the impending disaster of the country, wishful thinking that as long as they befriended the Qin State, they could rest easy.
Qi and Qin have the least hatred, and they are the most active friends of the five kingdoms to Qin State, and they are also the first to want to propose to Yingzheng except for Ji Dan, and the envoy who proposed marriage is Hou Yong, the younger brother of Prime Minister Hou Sheng. Xiong Han, the king of Chu, also sent an envoy Jing Lin to propose to King Yingzheng of Qin at the request of the Mi clan, and wanted to marry his cousin to Fusu and kiss him. Yingzheng agreed to the marriage proposal between the two countries, but he did not make it clear who would be Fusu's wife, and left it to the envoys of the two countries to settle it. Under Yingzheng's hint, the envoys of the two countries went to Fusu's mansion and persuaded Fusu to take their respective princesses as wives.
Fusu was recalled to Xianyang to deal with Jinglin and Houyong.
"I don't know what the two adults think, I can't actually make the decision about my marriage, the two adults are wasting time with me, it's better to go to my father." Fusu looked at Jinglin and Hou Yong, and said helplessly.
Jing Lin smiled bitterly, if it weren't for Yingzheng's hint, how would we all run to your mansion.
"Qin and Chu have been good by marriage for a hundred years, the queen is the royal family of Chu, I heard that the prince has always respected the queen, when he understands the queen's wish to make friends with Qin and Chu, take Milin as his wife." Jinglin knew something about Fusu, and he also knew that Fusu was very filial to the queen, and grasped the key point of persuading Fusu.
Fusu didn't answer, just smiled and agreed.
Hou Yong was on the side, a little anxious, and kept glancing at his deputy envoy and asking him to come out and say a few words.
"Childe, if you say that you are good friends with the Qin State, the Qi State is far better than the Chu State. Although Qin and Chu have a hundred years of good in-laws, but the two countries have more times of evil, Zhao has attacked Qin several times, Chu is the most active, although Qi is under the coercion of the five countries, but it is just forced by the situation, and it has to be done. ”
As if feeling that this reason was not enough to convince Fusu, the deputy envoy of Qi lowered his voice and said: "To say something disrespectful to the queen, although the queen thinks about the prince and hopes that the prince can go to the prince of Chu as his wife, but in fact she has done a bad thing. ”
Fusu listened to the words of the deputy envoy of Qi State, and his face was a little unhappy, how could he be a lobbyist who said that his mother was not in front of his son. Jing Lin listened to the deputy envoy of Qi State in order to persuade Fusu to start talking nonsense, but his face showed joy.
"Song Qing must not be rude, hurry up and apologize to Gongzi." Hou Sheng saw that the deputy envoy actually talked about the queen of Qin in front of Fusu, and hurriedly stopped.
"Childe, this is what Song Qing said nonsense, it doesn't mean me." After Hou Sheng scolded Song Qing, he hurriedly apologized to Fusu.
Song Qing lowered his head and apologized to Fusu while hiding his disdain for Hou Sheng.
"Please also listen to what I have to say." Although Hou Sheng was already angry, Song Qing still spoke.
Fusu looked at Song Qing coldly and said, "Confucianism in Qi is prosperous, don't say this kind of slander to other people's parents." ”
"Childe has a good name, but can't he listen to the advice of the contrary!" Song Qing ignored it, but still spoke.
Fusu picked up the teacup and was noncommittal to Song Qing's agitation.
"Above the court of the Qin State, the Chu people have already occupied a small half, and the queen's harem is also full of the daughters of the Chu king, if the prince adds the Chu girl as his wife, when Qin and Chu are in trouble, can the prince still handle the relationship with the Chu State fairly and calmly?"
Fusu's heart moved, and he thought of the countless palace fighting dramas in the old time and space, especially the plot in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Yongzheng's mother and the queen are the same family, and they have made trouble for Yongzheng, do they have such a day.
"Doesn't Gongzi know the story of King Zhuang Xiang and the Empress Dowager Huayang?" Song Qing continued.
As soon as Song Qing's words came out, Jing Lin changed color and scolded: "You Qi people, you are so rude, the Empress Dowager Huayang and the King of Zhuangxiang have passed away, and you are a Confucian who is disrespectful to the deceased." ”
Although Hou Yong was very dissatisfied with Song Qing's arrogance, he also knew that Song Qing's words should have had an effect, which would make Jing Lin so anxious, and immediately said: "Why, can't you let people tell the truth?" ”
"Childe, when I came, my brother once instructed that if Princess Tian Qing can be the wife of Childe, Qi State is willing to give a county as a dowry to Qin State."
Hou Yong originally planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue and tell Fusu the conditions ordered by Hou Sheng, but as a result, Fusu, Song Qing, and Jinglin looked at each other with one sentence, and the room was silent for a while.
Hou Yong was very satisfied that his words could have such an effect, and he ignored Song Qing's eyes that you were a second goods, and continued: "Qi State is willing to use Zhang County as the dowry of Princess Shaonan, how about it, do you Chu State have any dowry that you can handle?" ”
Zhang County is next to the East County of the Qin State, and the land of the Wei State is looked at from the south of Juye Ze, if Zhang County is given to the Qin State, it will not only be a huge threat to the Wei State, but also give up the natural defense of the Qi State to the Qin State, which has a great temptation for the Qin State.
Fusu smiled silently, and looked at Jing Lin meaningfully, to see if he also gave away a county as a dowry, but Jing Lin was silent in thought.
"Hehe, the prime minister's big gift, Fusu is really ashamed." Fusu put on a smiling face and said bravely.
Fusu's compliment made Hou Yong feel that he had said the right thing even more, and he didn't look at Song Qing, thinking that Song Qinglai, who knew it earlier, would not have to be annoying, and everything would be fine as soon as he gave the gift.
"The two adults also know that my marriage will not be done in the past two years, firstly, my great-grandmother has passed away, and the ceremony is not compatible, and secondly, I am still young now, so the two adults do not need to be so anxious, and they can discuss it carefully after returning to China."
Fusu did not make a promise because of Houyong's county, and said his suggestion lightly.
Jing Lin and Hou Yong glanced at each other, no one was willing to leave the Fusu Gongzi's Mansion first, they were still soft and hard, and it seemed that they would never leave without Fusu's promise.
Fusu looked at Jing Lin and Hou Yong, who were competing with each other, and then looked at Song Qing, who disliked his pig teammates, and complained a little about Yingzheng. Fusu has a clear understanding of his marriage, and the initiative will never be in his hands, what is Yingzheng's intention in pushing Jinglin and Houyong to himself.
