"The three-story attic of Pingyuan Jun's house can be called a must in Handan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut there is also a bit of a disadvantage, that is, it is too close to the edge, so that next to it is the residence of a group of declining nobles, standing upstairs and looking down, the situation in the house is clear at a glance. ”

Pointing to the high-rise building of the Pingyuan Jun's house, Li Tan talked about the strange thing that was widely spread in the streets and alleys of Handan.

"One day a few years ago, Pingyuan Jun's favorite concubine was standing upstairs shaking a feather fan, and when she was bored, the beauty inadvertently glanced at it, and happened to see a lame scholar limping out to fetch water in the house, and when she came back, she accidentally tripped over the bucket and became a soup chicken. The beauty upstairs was amused by this scene. ”

Speaking of women, Li Tan added with a smile: "The concubines of the Pingyuan Jun family are all Zhao girls from Zhongshan and Xindu, who dance exquisitely, or women bought from Zheng and Wei, who have good voices and beautiful appearances. ”

"To be able to make these beauties laugh, if it were me, maybe I wouldn't care, but it just so happened that the lame scholar who fetched water was a fierce man, and he thought that the beauties of the Plains Jun family were laughing at and humiliating him."

So the Nashi man visited the Pingyuan Jun's house the next day and made a request.

Mingyue asked, "What requirements?" ”

Li Tan paused, waited until Chang'anjun asked, then wiped it on his neck, and said gloomily: "The request of the scholar is to let Pingyuanjun cut off the head of the beautiful concubine and give it to him!" ”

"Hiss......"

Mingyue took a breath of cold air and said: "This scholar is really ruthless, although the scholar can be killed, not humiliated, but just for this reason to ask for the life of the beautiful concubine, it is really small, not the big husband's doing." ”

"yes." Li Tan also felt so, and said: "Pingyuanjun also thinks so, just think it's a joke, blast the scholar out of the door, and say to the doormen, this erection, it's too much to kill my concubine because of a smile." ”

Mingyue knew that the story would not end there, and asked, "And then?" ”

Li Tan said: "A year has passed since this incident, and during this period, Pingyuan Jun was surprised to find that no one came to him inside and outside Handan, and even half of the diners under his door left one after another. ”

"Faced with the resignation of the diners, Pingyuanjun was very puzzled, so he asked a doorman why the food, food, carriages and horses in his mansion were endlessly supplied, and he himself had never been rude, but the doorman wanted to leave him?"

Mingyue said: "Isn't it because the beautiful concubine laughed at the lame man, and Pingyuan Jun cherished the beauty and didn't kill her to vent his anger?" ”

Li Tan slapped his hands and said, "Yes! Through this incident, Pingyuanjun's disciples thought that Pingyuanjun valued beauty more, but neglected scholars, so they left one after another. ”

The final result was that in order to save the hearts of many "wise men", Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, resolutely killed the beauty who laughed at the lame, and personally held the head of the beauty to send it to the lame, and expressed his sincere apologies.

After doing this, not only did the cripple immediately take refuge in him, but the scholars who had left before also returned to the Pingyuan Junmen, Zhao Sheng's mansion, which was once again full of guests and friends.

After listening to this story, and then looking at the high-rise pavilion in front of her, Mingyue seemed to see a touch of sorrowful blood on it, and shook her head and said: "That beautiful concubine is really the same as Bao Xi, a loss of laughter, which caused a disaster, pitiful, sad." ”

This is not what Li Tan wanted to hear, he said eagerly: "Chang Anjun, what do you understand through this matter?" ”

"Understood."

Mingyue said lightly: "I understand that the morale should not be neglected, the poor can be proud, but the rich and noble can not be proud, are you worried that my reputation will be ruined from now on, and no one will come to me, right?" ”

Although there is some helplessness, but this is the atmosphere of the Warring States Period, scholars have a very high sense of self-esteem, and they can't stand it, and up to the princes, down to the ministers, sometimes they really have to serve this group of scholars like their ancestors.

What was most lacking in the Warring States period? Talent!

This is the best era of scholars, why? Because there are many princes in the world, you treat me with disrespect, you don't listen to what I say, and you don't take your suggestions, okay! I don't wait, anyway, I'm alone, I'll put on my shoes and pat my ass and leave, and I can even go to your enemies to give advice and disgust you.

In the past 100 years, Wu Qi, Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, and even the most recent Prime Minister of the Qin State, Fan Sui, have been like this, because they cannot be reused, they go to other countries, which in turn affects the strength and weakness of the Seven Heroes.

The minister of virtuous talents, into Chu Chu heavy, out of Qi Qi light, for Zhao Zhao Wan, Pan Wei Wei injured!

With these tragic examples as a lesson, those who have a country and a family, such as Pingyuan Jun and other feudal princes, will no longer dare to be arrogant and arrogant. Because the reason why the four princes of the Warring States period were able to start a family was to obtain the reputation of important scholars by accepting guests and hiding outlaws, the more soldiers they had, the more the king relied on them, and the four princes could use this to construct their personal authority.

They need scholars to work for themselves, and once they lose their morale, they lose their foothold.

Therefore, during the Warring States Period, the scholars were noble, and the princes were not expensive.

This should have been a commendable phenomenon, but sometimes there were times when the confident and narrow-minded scholars used it to carry out moral kidnappings and force the nobles to compromise.

"This is the 'minister of the master' mentioned in "Han Feizi", as a retainer, forcing the lord to make concessions......"

The characteristics of the times are in front of us, with the help of scholars, the feudal generals are like blowing with the wind, the voice has not become louder, but the momentum has grown a lot, if no one helps, it will be difficult.

Mingyue wants to go to Qi State to gild, gain fame, and even grasp the power of Zhao State, and then affect the Battle of Changping, he can't conjure up a bunch of subordinates, or he has to borrow from scholars.

But although he intended to emulate Meng Weijun's methods, he didn't want to completely follow the old path of the fourth son, in his opinion, that was too inefficient.

He has his own way of getting the talent he wants, and at the same time increasing his reputation!

Arching his hand towards Li Tan, Mingyue said: "Thank you for reminding me, I should keep the lesson of Pingyuanjun in mind, but ......"

Mingyue smiled: "In the past three days, let those departing rangers speak ill of me, the more fierce they are, the better." After three days, even if only one person comes to serve me, I will make the entire rangers of Handan City, and even the scholars of the entire Zhao Kingdom, truly impressed by me, and deeply regret my departure today! ”

Li Tan understood now: "Originally, Chang'anjun had already expected this, and there would be a follow-up in three days?" Don't know what to do? ”

Mingyue smiled mysteriously: "In three days, you will know." ”

Li Tan bowed: "The villain should keep his eyes open and wait to see Chang Anjun's means!" ”

Through all kinds of things in the past few days, he unconsciously became full of confidence in Chang'anjun in front of him, and felt that although he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, he was unfathomable, and the future was bound to be limitless.

"Do I want to take refuge in Chang'anjun too?" Li Tan couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart, but he was still a little hesitant, not everyone had the courage to abandon the stable status quo and pursue an unpredictable future.

As he spoke, their carriage had already passed in front of Pingyuan Jun's house, and Mingyue originally intended to let Li Tan drive back to King Zhao's palace directly, but unexpectedly, the magnificent red lacquered vermilion door creaked and suddenly opened.

A group of scholars and doormen poured out from the door, all of them were tall and proud, well-dressed, and after coming out, they stood in two rows with swords, holding their heads high, very magnificent.

The moon was held by this group of guests, a wealthy middle-aged nobleman wearing a beautiful crown and a gorgeous brocade robe, his hands were on his belt, and he stepped out of the threshold with elegant Handan steps, and when he saw Chang'anjun in the car, he stroked the two sagittal beards on his lips, and said with a smile:

"Nephew, are you going to follow Dayu's example and pass through the door three times without entering? Passing by my uncle's mansion, don't come in and sit? ”
