Chapter 97: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
In the forty-second year of Qin Wangji, the 800 miles of Qinchuan at the end of April are also fragrant grass. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the Qi State sent troops to attack Tao, the Zhao State was no longer isolated and helpless, and the Qin army saw that it was unprofitable to continue to spend money and food to penetrate into the Zhao land, so they also quit their troops and returned. As soon as they returned to China, they hurriedly plunged into the busyness of cultivating cultivated land, ploughing and fighting, which were the only two important things in the life of the Qin people.
At this time, the only people who can travel gracefully with their hands behind their backs are the nobles of the high lords. On the bank of the Weishui River ten miles southeast of Xianyang in the Qin State, there is a small pavilion, called Weiyang Pavilion, which is the necessary ferry to enter Xianyang from the east, there is no one else in the pavilion, only two middle-aged people dressed as doctors are sitting and saying goodbye, and their attendants are lined up on both sides. In the Qin State, only high-ranking officials and nobles could take so many private dependents on trips.
Interesting people, a person in the pavilion looks ugly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sharp-beaked monkey with a hooked nose, the best silk clothes can't cover the scars on the neck, and the pair of slender eyes are often squinted, but as long as the eyes flash, it can make people's hearts palpitate!
The other person is a talent, with a national face, tall and majestic, and at first glance he is a good candidate for foreign missions.
People in the world often judge people by their appearance, like Wei, Han and other countries, those who are ugly can't even be high-ranking officials, but the two people in this small pavilion, who are dignified, grovel to the ugly people, and they can't wait to lie on the ground and blow off the dust on the tips of the shoes for that person!
"I never thought that the prime minister would come to see off the ministers in person, what an honor it is for the ministers!"
It's surprising to say that this ugly person is actually Fan Ju, the new prime minister of the Qin State, he has long been accustomed to the former life-saving benefactor, and now the compliments of his subordinates, he smiled: "Wang Ji, Wang Ji, if you can't even straighten your waist, how can I rest assured that such an important errand will be entrusted to you to do?" “
It turned out that the groveling doctor was named Wang Ji, Wang Ji was a native of Qin, born in a family of five doctors, but unfortunately he failed to inherit the title, but he could also take his father and brother as a teacher, and received a complete Qin law education.
When Qin Wangji inherited a few years after reaching the age of twenty-two, in Yongdi to worship ancestors, announced adult pro-government, also had the ambition to do a great cause, in the counties of Qin after a circle, recruited a lot of young officials and good families, Wang Ji is one of them.
Wang Ji thought that he was favored by King Qin and would be able to soar when he came to Xianyang, but the reality poured cold water on him. Although Qin Wangji is an adult, the military and political power of Qin State is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Mi and the Marquis Wei Ran, and Wang Ji, these Qin princes, naturally have no chance to be promoted, so he only became a mere "confessor", and he did it for twenty or thirty years before he got mixed up with the title of a fifth doctor and became a pedestrian chief.
At this time, it was the thirty-sixth year of Qin Wangji, and although the Empress Dowager and the Marquis were still in power, the words of the King of Qin gradually became bigger. This person was the official in charge of the transmission of the king's documents, because Wang Ji was quite trusted by the king of Qin, and was often able to travel to foreign countries, and he was also given a secret mission, that is, to find talented people for the king of Qin.
"What the widow wants, not the talent of a county and a county, such a person, the Qin State has a lot, and what the widow wants must be like the Shang Yang of the filial piety of the first grandfather, Zhang Yi of the father, and Gan Mao of the Wu King! The talent of Zaisuke! “
Wang Ji knew that although Qin Wangji was named the Great King, he could be restrained by the Queen Mother and the Marquis for more than 30 years, and his ambitions could not be displayed, and he continued to be a peerless talent worthy of great responsibilities. He was also a little discouraged, because the person King Qin needed was not him, he had self-knowledge, with his Wang Ji's talent, he didn't want to climb up again by fighting on his own in this life, but if he could find a great talent in the opposition for King Qin in the process of going to the mission, so that person could soar, how could he forget his benefits at that time?
It's easier said than done, finding a talent in the six countries of Shandong, if you blindly look for it, it's really harder than looking for a needle in a haystack, who expected that Wang Ji was lucky, and he really let him find someone, that is, because Wei Qi and Xu Jia harmed him, and pretended to be killed by Fan Ju, a Wei man named Zhang Lu!
Fan Ju has long lost the despondency of the year, at the moment is full of spirits, looking at the Weishui ferry not far away, here in winter and spring with the boat as the bridge, summer and autumn boat crossing, is the only place to enter Xianyang. Now that the Qin State is strong, the envoys of the Eastern countries have entered Qin, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going. Gu boats are flooding, fishing boats are leisurely, black eels and red carp are floating in the green water, and egrets and blue birds are haunting the smoke waves. The woodcutter sheep intestines go, and the shepherd boy and cow return on their backs, but they also have a unique flavor.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Wang Ji, back then, you secretly hid me in a carriage like a dead dog and transported it to Xianyang, and also passed through this time, did you ever think that I have today?" “
Wang Ji flattered: "The prime minister's talent, like the dusty He's bi, may be dim when he was in the Wei State, but as soon as he enters the Qin State, after getting the first acquaintance of the king's insight, he will shine in the world!" “
Fan Ju didn't accept this flattery, and sneered: "Hugh wants to say that it's useless, you were just a dead horse as a live horse doctor back then, and you had a one-ten-thousandth luck, let me give it a try?" “
He was right, Wang Ji saw that Fan Ju was ugly and lame, and he didn't like it, but he couldn't help but be in a miserable situation, and he had a trace of sympathy, plus Fan Ju's mouth could speak well, and he kept describing to Wang Ji along the way that after he entered the Qin Kingdom, as long as he saw the King of Qin, he would definitely be like Shang Ying seeing Qin Xiaogong, and the monarch and ministers would meet, and he would be worshiped as the prime minister immediately, and then he would be able to repay Wang Ji well.
Wang Ji believed his rhetoric and recommended Fan Ju to the King of Qin several times. But it didn't go so smoothly at first, King Qin was not interested in this ugly appearance, Fan Ju spent many times to find out King Qin's temperament, preferences and desires, and finally persuaded King Qin in one fell swoop to be worshiped as a guest secretary, slowly participate in court politics, and fight against the marquis, which was already a matter of several years after he entered Qin.
As for finally bringing down the Marquis and prompting the King of Qin to imprison the Empress Dowager, it was finally done in the early spring of this year, and the sky of the Qin State finally changed at this time!
Thinking that his long-cherished wish for many years finally came true, Wang Ji also felt happy from the bottom of his heart: "The Queen Mother has been placed under house arrest in Ganquan Palace, Siguili, Sangui has been expelled from Guanzhong, only the Hou Hou is sick and hiding in the mansion, and time is running out, the era of the prime minister is coming!" ”
Fan Ju shook his head and said: "It's not from the heaven of the marquis that it has become the heaven of my Fan Ju, but the heaven of the king!" With me reorganizing the government for the king, the king can become a unique king who is not restrained by anyone, can do whatever he wants! “
He turned to Wang Ji and said, "Wang Ji, some time ago, you have seen how I avenged people. ”
Wang Ji hurriedly bowed his head, this Fan Ju is really good at playing, playing with Na Sujia in applause, and using him to go back to Wei, scaring Wei Xiang Wei Qi to abandon the seal and flee, although he has just been the prime minister of Qin for a few months, but Fan Ju has already controlled Qin Xiang's terrifying power to perfection, not only revenge, but also let the world see Qin's might!
Fan Ju did it on purpose, he just wanted to use Wei Qi as a stone and throw it towards the six countries of Shandong, stirring up waves to see if there was anyone who was not afraid of Qin?
This time, I tried it.
"There is a country in the east, which does not know what is good or bad, and is the enemy of the big state, and dares to accept the old thief Wei Qi, and also colludes with its neighbors, and conspires with Qin as an enemy......"
Fan Ju's gaze gradually became cold, and he said in a ruthless tone: "That's Zhao Guo, it's Pingyuan Jun!" ”
