Chapter 5: Night Talk

When Tian Jian returned to the East Palace, it was already nightfall.

"Sir, please." Tian Jiandao.

Mao Sui nodded and sat down.

Tian Jian straightened his clothes, sat down on his knees, and asked, "Dare to ask what Mr. has to teach me?" ”

"Dare to ask the prince, what can I teach you?" Mao Sui was puzzled.

Tian Jian smiled when he heard this: "Sir, this palace has the potential to revive the Qi country, I don't know how Mr. should teach me." ”

Mao Sui thought for a moment and sighed: "The Qi country is accumulating more and more evils, since the five kingdoms invaded Qi, the Qi country has not experienced a war in the past 20 years, the people are slack, and the officials are lazy. ”

Tian Jian thought to himself: "It seems that this is the consistent style of the Zongheng family, first hang your appetite, and then let it be slaughtered." ”

Tian Jian folded his hands and bowed: "Sir, please teach me, I, Tian Jian, will definitely listen." ”

Mao Sui Zhengse said: "At this time, since Qin Xiaogong changed the law, Qin has three generations of accumulation, the people are rich, the soldiers are strong, and there are many famous generals, so the Qin State is the strongest among the Qi State, and the Zhao State has been the strongest since the Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, and the country is increasing day by day, so the Zhao State is second, Yan, Wei, Han, Chu Four Kingdoms, Yan State is declining due to the death of King Yan Zhao, and the Wei State is suffering because of its proximity to the Qin State, but due to the annexation of the Song State, the national strength has recovered slightly, and the Chu State has been in decline since the death of King Wei, King Huai was killed, and the national strength is declining. But because the south is dominant, it should not be underestimated. South Korea is the weakest, and the current national strength of Qi can only be comparable to that of Wei, but Qi has no generals and no sharp soldiers, and compared with the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, Qi is obviously too peaceful. ”

"What can I do?" Tian Jian was puzzled.

Mao Sui smiled: "Strong soldiers, expand the soil." ”

"Dare to ask sir, how is this strong soldier going on?" Tian Jian wondered.

"Looking for talented people, such as Wei Wenzhi to Wu Qi, Han Zhaozhi to Shen Buharm, Wu Wang Zhi to Wu Zixu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to strengthen the army, and he needs talented people." Mao replied.

"Is it okay, sir?" Tian Jian asked.

Mao Sui shook his head with a smile and said: "The ruler is long, the inch is short, just like the phoenix (crow) can fly in the sky, but it can't drink pottery water, so it's not talented!" Only the power of the tongue has no power to reorganize the armament. ”

Tian Jian nodded when he heard this, Mao Sui knew very much that in history, after he became famous as an envoy to the Chu State, after the defeat of Changping in Zhao State, King Zhao Xiaocheng wanted him to lead the troops to resist the Yan State, he repeatedly refused, so he had to lead the troops to fight, and finally the soldiers were defeated and killed in the woods, which is embarrassing!

"What about expanding the land?" Tian Jian asked.

Mao Sui smiled and said nothing.

Tian Jianjian immediately understood, and said to the left and right: "Bring the map." ”

It wasn't long before the map arrived.

Mao then pointed to the map and said: "Qi Wudu, Linzi, Gaotang, Jimo, Pinglu, Jucheng, now Gaotang has been lost, fell into the hands of Zhao State, need to wait for a good opportunity, take back Gaotang, so that the southwest direction of Qi will be dangerous to defend, and then when the strong army, like Wu Zixu avenges his father, annex Yan State, at this time the princes have nothing to say, this is the enmity of the three worlds, it is about morality, and the countries will not come to the rescue." ”

Tian Jian nodded when he heard this, "The Legend of the Ram: Four Years of Zhuang Gong": "The Ninth World Can You Take Revenge?" Although it can be a hundred generations. ”

Historical facts involving the enmity of the ninth generation: During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Marquis of Ji slandered the King of Zhou Yi, and the King of Yi was killed alive for three years, and the Marquis of Qi was killed alive by the King of Zhou Yi. Qi people mourn it, and they mourn the father. Since the beginning of the mourning duke, the ninth generation was passed to the qi xianggong jiang zhu'er, and the qi xianggong sent troops to destroy the ji country and avenged the qi mourning duke. Qi Xianggong is the elder brother of Qi Huangong.

The Spring and Autumn Three Legends had a dispute over this matter, because the custom at that time was that the family feud was only about the fifth generation. The Ram Chuan believes that the national feud is not limited by generations, and the left Chuan opposes it.

"Next, I will tie Zhao and cut Chu." Mao Sui said again.

"Dare to ask what happened to Mr. after that?" Tian Jian asked.

Mao Sui said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't even taken the first step, let alone the second step, the third step, the times are changing, today's Qin Zhaoqiang may not be Wei Chuqiang tomorrow." ”

Tian Jian nodded and replied.

Unknowingly, the two talked for a long time, and at this time, it was late at night.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I will say goodbye." Mao then got up and bowed.

"Mr. is tired, this is the fault of this palace, I will let someone else send Mr. back to the house, I don't know where Mr. lives now." Tian Jiandao.

Mao Sui's face turned red, and he said ashamedly: "Then there is a thatched hut on the outskirts of Linzi City. ”

Tian Jian pretended to be surprised and said: "How can Mr. be so poor, just like the phoenix only lives on the sycamore, Mr. is talented, how can he live in this humble place, there is still a room in the East Palace of the main palace, and Mr. can live there." ”

Mao Sui bowed deeply and said: "Sui was originally a member of the party of Zhao State, his family was poor, and he heard that Qi Guo had a Jixia School Palace, which was a place where the literary style was prosperous, so he traveled a long distance to Linzi, but unfortunately he was penniless, so he had to build a thatched house on the outskirts of the city and live on his own. So this poor person, His Royal Highness is virtuous, and he is willing to repay him with death. ”

Tian Jian stepped forward to help Mao Sui and said: "Mr. is serious, Mr. is very talented, it is my Tian Jian, and even the great fortune of Qi country, Mr. does not have to be presumptuous, with Mr.'s great talent, pastoral wine, singing women, and minced meat are all trivial." ”

Tian Jian's meaning is very clear, as long as you work with me, the house, car, food, and your wife will not treat you badly.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality." Mao Sui was moved.

Tian Jian did not answer, but untied the beautiful jade hanging from his waist, handed it to Mao Sui, and said: "Sir can accept this jade, this jade is said to be Lantian beautiful jade, worth a thousand gold, Mr. can pawn it for a momentary need." ”

Tian Jian still understands the truth of pushing clothes and food, as for why he doesn't give money, it is because when Tian Jian gives his precious things around him, he can move people's hearts more than money.

Mao Sui's eyes were red, and he handed back the jade pendant, saying: "I am willing to die for His Royal Highness, but the matter of the jade pendant is still requested to be taken back by His Highness, so I can't accept it." ”

Tian Jian secretly said in his heart: "The Warring States scholars are really righteous, unlike the people of later generations. ”

Tian Jian withdrew the jade pendant, his right hand suddenly raised, and he was about to fall, but when Mao saw it, he immediately blocked Tian Jian's movements, and wondered: "Why is Your Highness like this." ”

Tian Jian exclaimed bitterly: "This jade pendant can't solve Mr.'s urgency, what's the use of keeping it, it's better to fall away." ”

With tears in the corners of his eyes, Mao Sui said, "I wish to accept it." ”

Tian Jianli smiled and said, "Mr. is willing to accept it." ”

Mao Sui was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, I wish to accept it." ”

After a while, the carriage was brought to the left and right.

"Sir, please get in the car and resign from Mr. Jianwei." Tian Jiandao.

Mao got into the carriage.

"Wow!" The carriage walked slowly, and Tian Jian looked at Mao Sui behind the carriage.

Mao Sui turned his head, and his heart was full of emotion, he was very fortunate to have this master!
