"Sir, what a talent! I used Mr.'s words to lobby the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother changed her mind, Mr. really has the eloquence talent to live the dead, and turn decay into magical intelligence......"

After the dust settled on Tian Jia's matter, Hou Sheng returned to the mansion and praised Cai Ze for a while, and personally poured wine for this ugly and short Yan countryman. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Hou Sheng is greedy for money, he also has a bit of vision, he has seen a lot of vertical and horizontal strategists, but most of them are rhetoric, and there are not many people who can directly take the key point for one thing, he can't help but think: "Confucius judges people by appearance, and loses his son Yu, I almost was rude to Cai Ze." ”

He has just become a great bank of Qi and is in charge of the diplomatic relations of the princes, and what he lacks most around him is people like Cai Ze, Hou Sheng intentionally or unintentionally asked Cai Ze some opinions on the current situation, and he answered them fluently, which made Hou Sheng love it more and more.

So when the two of them were drunk after three rounds of drinking, Hou Sheng asked with the intention of drinking: "In the eyes of Mr., Hou Sheng is just a greedy person for money and treasures?" ”

This was asked suddenly, Cai Ze almost choked on a sip of wine, and hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you ......"

Hou Sheng did not hide his greed at all: "It is indeed my wish to collect all the treasures in the world, but here I don't just regard treasures as treasures." ”

He told Cai Ze about a past incident: "When King Qi Wei and King Wei Hui were hunting in the countryside, there was a conversation, and King Wei Hui asked: 'Qi also has treasures?' King Ziwei said no. King Wei Hui was triumphant, saying that although Wei was small, there were still ten large pearls with a diameter of more than one inch that could illuminate twelve cars. ”

King Qi Wei smiled and said, the treasure of the widow is not the same as the king, my ministers have sandalwood, so that the southern city is guarded, then the Chu people dare not be coar, and the twelve princes of Sishang all came to see him. My ministers have those who hope for their sons, so that they guard the Tang Dynasty, then the Zhao people dare not fish in the river. I have a Qianfu, so that Xuzhou, then the Yan people sacrifice to the north gate, the Zhao people sacrifice to the west gate, migrating into more than 7,000 families. My ministers have a kind of leader, so that the thieves will not be left behind. With these four ministers as a treasure, it can shine for thousands of miles, how can it be only twelve times! ”

After finishing speaking, Hou Sheng shook his head and said: "Treating talents as treasures, and using them to lie down with their backs is the way of governing the country, and it is worthy of being a powerful king." ”

He patted his slightly bulging belly and said: "In the back of the victory, talent is also a treasure!" ”

"Only ......" Cai Ze snorted, his eyes rolled, and he knew what Hou Sheng wanted to do with this tirade.

Sure enough, Hou Shengjing took a glass of wine and paced to Cai Ze's desk to toast him: "Mr. is so talented, how can he be nameless?" Although Chang'an Jun is not short of wealth and wealth, he is young after all, the Empress Dowager Zhao is in fashion, and when the Empress Dowager goes, I am afraid that she will be suspicious of King Zhao, and it is difficult to even stand in the court, even if the power is in hand, it will be many years later. But I'm different......"

Hou Sheng boasted: "I am now one of the five officials of the Qi State, and I am also the brother of the Queen Mother, the uncle of the King of Qi, in less than ten years, the government of the Qi State will be entrusted to me, and I should be the Qi Xiang!" ”

After speaking, Hou Sheng invited with blazing eyes: "As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to perch, is Mr. willing to stay in Qi Country?" Be my housekeeper? I will take Mr. as a guest and let him show his talents! When the time comes, glory and wealth will be shared with Mr. ”

In today's world, there is no fixed lord of the scholars, there is no fixed relationship between the state, the people of the world are all interacting with each other with interests, and the scholars are looking for the lord, just like a businessman doing business, when the lord is in power, the followers are like carp crossing the river; When the monarch loses power, the tree falls apart, and there are very few people who can remain loyal to the end. This kind of thing has been regarded as the norm by the world, so it is common for scholars to jump back and forth between countries and kings, and the parties are not ashamed, and others will not say that he is disloyal.

Cai Ze was silent, as if he was thinking, what Hou Sheng said was true, except for Tian Dan, there were no more ministers in Qi State, Hou Sheng made one of the five senses as a relative of the Queen Mother, as long as he accumulated qualifications, becoming Qi Xiang before the age of forty was almost a certainty, his future was extremely smooth, and with him, he could indeed enjoy glory and wealth without danger.

On the other hand, Chang Anjun, his future is a bit tortuous and unpredictable, following him, he has to face many unknown factors, according to Cai Ze's idea of seeing Chang Anjun at the beginning, he also has the meaning of using this son as a springboard for his life......

However, after Hou Shengjing's glass of wine, Cai Ze didn't drink it after all, but laughed out loud: "The villain is a vulgar Yan person, he is not a shallow learner, and he is not worthy of being so valued by Daxing, not to mention that I have already confronted Chang'an Jun, how can I be disloyal?" Daxing is drunk, drunk! ”

After a period of prevarication, Cai Ze pretended to be drunk again, lying unconscious on the desk, although Hou Sheng was a little ugly after being rejected, he was helpless, so he let Cai Ze go down to rest.

Of course, it is indispensable to arrange a few Linzi maiko to serve Cai Ze, and Hou Sheng seems to want to let this Yanguo hillbilly taste the taste of beauty on the side, and he can change his mind.

However, Cai Ze still didn't appreciate it, pretended to be drunk, spit out the filth in the arms of those beauties, and drew his sword and danced indoors, scaring them to flee the door. And the next day, Cai Ze woke up, pretended to forget all about last night, said goodbye to Housheng happily, and went back to Handan with Lu Goujian and others.

So the corner of the pry wall of the later victory ended in failure.

……

Cai Ze rejected Hou Sheng's invitation, of course, it was not that he was foolish and loyal to Chang'anjun, but in his mind, he also had some plans of his own.

He once learned the art of vertical and horizontal from Su Qin's brother Su Dai, as a vertical and horizontal strategist, he must know the overall situation, be good at figuring out, be able to argue, be able to change, be wise and brave, have a long strategy, and be able to decide. In this way, there can be a lot of clever ideas, and lobbying can be invincible.

But these are not the most important, the most important thing is to know people and situations.

Don't look at them towards Qin and Chu, there is no decision on everything, capricious, but those hopeless countries, the longitudinal and horizontal families with great ambitions will never serve, looking at the world, small countries have been swallowed up, and only Qin, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qi are left in the big countries. Among the seven heroes, Han Yan is the weakest, Han Zi was a deformed child when he founded the country, his national strength was weak, he was repeatedly bullied by Qin, and he was almost annexed.

Yan is slightly better than South Korea, at least in the north, there is no need to be sandwiched between the powerful countries to be slaughtered, the biggest disadvantage is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, the population is the least of the seven heroes, and the king is incompetent, the Yan people are strong, but they don't know how to use it, so they were defeated by Zhao last year, as a Yan person, Cai Ze knows very well that it is meaningless to stay in Yan country.

After that, it is the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Chu, which are more than less than the above, and the common thing in these three countries is that they were all hit hard more than ten or twenty years ago, and they are all in the recovery period. Chu has lost half of the country, fled to the east of the Chen Di survived, fortunately the country is large enough, relying on Huainan Huaibei and Wu Yue land, under the premise of maintaining external peace, there is a possibility of revitalization, but unfortunately the Chu nobles are extremely xenophobic, Qu, Jing, Zhao three clans are inclined to the government and the opposition, there are not many examples of foreigners as important ministers in history, Wu Qi also ended a miserable end, not the first choice of You Shi.

Wei is similar, although it lost Hedong, but lost the Sangyu in the east corner, and got a large piece of the Song Dynasty's hometown, the king of Wei who has the good Longyang is a talent of the Chinese people, fortunately, Xinlingjun picks up and fills the gaps, so that Wei still has the power to protect himself, but Wei will not treat talents well, Zhang Yi who is far away, Shang Ying, and Fan Ju who are near are all from Wei, even if Xinlingjun loves Shi, Cai Ze doesn't want to try his luck.

As for the Qi State...... In Cai Ze's view, if the Qi State can reuse Tiandan, continue to regard him as the general, and the whole country is united, then the Qi State will lose the mountains and the sea, and there will be the benefits of fish and salt, and there is still the possibility of revival. But now, the Qi royal family has become so narrow and inferior that they can't even tolerate a loyal minister, how can they tolerate him as a Yan countryman? Don't look at Hou Sheng's rhetoric here, promising wealth and wealth, but his ambition is only to get a phase and be powerful within the Qi country.

Such a lord, Cai Ze will not follow.

Today, the most promising, the most suitable for scholars and scholars is nothing more than the Qin State, which has accumulated the strength of several generations, taking Cuihan as a stopper, controlling the dangers of mountains and rivers and tyrannizing Shandong, taking Hedong, Pochu, Powei, and Debashu, almost controlling one-third of the world! In addition, the monarch is virtuous, there is a good minister Fan Ju inside, there is a famous general Bai Qi outside, the law is strict, the people are happy when they hear the war, the soldiers are forward, invincible, if you say who is most likely to end this troubled world, Cai Ze thinks it will be the Qin State, if nothing else, within fifty years, Qin will be great!

It's a pity that the steps of the Qin State are too high for the current Cai Ze, and now the King of Qin is dedicated to Fan Ju, even if Cai Ze goes to the Qin State, he can only be a minister and a guest, and he can't find a better opportunity for the time being.

Therefore, he still thinks that Zhao Guo, who can suppress Qi for forty years and Qin can't get what he wants, is also a good choice, not to mention, Cai Ze has now bet on Chang'an Jun......

Although there are many feudal kings, sons, and powerful ministers in the world, most of them are chess pieces that they don't know as chess pieces like Hou Sheng. And Chang'an Jun, according to Cai Ze's observation, judging from the fact that he spent more than half a year wandering between Qi and Yan, and was good at dancing in the Zhao Dynasty, he has the potential to become a chess player.

He had a noble birth, a good habit of being a corporal, a well-respected reputation, a lofty ambition, and an inscrutable plan......

Of course, the most important thing is the way he looked at King Zhao, and Cai Ze was pleasantly surprised to find that although the positions of the two of them were high and low, in terms of mentality, they were completely level-eyed, which was not the eyes that a person should have.

No matter how deep a man's ambition is hidden, a clever strategist can sniff it out, dig it out, and add fuel to the fire, turning it into a raging fire!

"Five years." Cai Ze thought so on the way back to Handan: "Wu Zixu begged in Wu City from Ben Wu, specialized in Gongziguang in the middle, and retreated to Shenggong with the son of Prince Jian, until King Wu killed the prince and became independent, during this period, Wu Zixu waited for a total of five years. ”

"I am also willing to follow Wu Zixu and wait for Chang Anjun for five years!"

The farmer pays attention to the season of the year, and the merchant pays attention to the optimistic changes of the times in business, and the same is true for the strategists, who are in a hurry, running around the nations, and every year, every month, and every day is extremely precious. Cai Ze has already passed and is not young, he plans that after five years, if Chang'anjun can't succeed, he will not hesitate to abandon him! Go to the Qin State, which has more opportunities on the bright side!

At the end of February, Cai Ze returned to Handan with good news, and when the people from Chang'anjun's Mansion informed Cai Ze of his return, Chang'anjun couldn't wait to greet him, and in a hurry, he actually put his shoes down!

Although Cai Ze knew that this might be done by Chang Anjun on purpose, Chang Anjun's respect for him made Cai Ze's face shine.

"This trip to Linzi, Mr. has worked hard, and I will not forget Mr.'s credit!"

Of course, when you enter the mansion, you will inevitably have a compliment, as well as substantial gold and acres as a thank you.

However, what made Cai Ze feel refreshed the most was that Chang Anjun told him a piece of news.

"When Mr. was running around in Linzi, I was not idle."

Mingyue said with a smile: "My fiefdom is finally going to be settled!" ”
