Thank you to the person in charge of the accounting agency of the book friend, the sincerity, and the reward of Xiao Yjun!
Recently, some book friends said that it was too slow to heat, and there was no way to do it in July, there were too many things to show and foreshadow, and the pen power was not refined enough. As a newcomer who learns while writing, I can only learn lessons in the next few volumes, as an apology, there will be four more today, and it will be more and more exciting after that!

"Lu Xiang Jue Qin" is what happened in the third year of Jin Ligong, that is, seventy-five years ago.
At that time, the Jin State and the Chu people had just held their first meeting to kill the soldiers, and the two sides ceased fighting in order to deal with the fire's backyard separately. The Jin State seized the opportunity and wanted to preemptively solve the three major enemies of Bai Di, Qin, and Qi around him, and defeat each of them.
In April of that year, Qin colluded with Bai Di to seek Jin, and his deeds were exposed, giving the Jin State an excuse.
As a result, Luan Shu, the ruling party at that time, sent LΓΌ Xiang as an envoy to Qin to submit a document and officially announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Qin.
This was originally a routine diplomatic procedure before the Spring and Autumn War, but it is worth mentioning that LΓΌ Xiang's official document of the Absolute Qin Dynasty can be called a famous article through the ages, and later generations call it the "Book of the Absolute Qin".
The full text is nearly 1,000 words, tracing the rights and wrongs between the two countries in the past ten years since Jin Xiangong and Qin Mugong. After counting the benevolence and righteousness of the Jin people, and the evil of the Qin people, claiming that "the goodness of Qin and Jin" was completely destroyed by the Qin State unilaterally (in fact, it was completely the witty Jin people who cheated the honest Qin State).
The article also exposed and rebuked the despicable conspiracy of the Qin people, and clarified the justice of breaking off diplomatic relations and sending troops to crusade.
Although this article is suspected of strong words, the narrative of the article is complicated but not chaotic, the reasoning is generous and eloquent, the writing is unbridled, and the rhetoric is gorgeous. opened the precedent in "Warring States Policy", in which the strategists used their tongues to slap the princes.
The Book of Absolute Qin also left several idioms such as "fighting together", "heartache", and "only profit is seeing". The article was so good that even the scolded Qin people couldn't put it down, and carefully kept it in the storage room, so that their own pedestrians could carefully copy it, study the routine, and eat every sentence and word thoroughly.
So two hundred years later, in the Warring States Period, in an official document "Curse Chu Wen" that the Qin people scolded the Chu people, it basically simulated the routine of the Qin book......
Hearing Wei Ju's question, Zhao Wuxian smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.
In fact, he asked for the Book of Absolute Qin, not for himself, but to give it to a friend who aspired to become a diplomat.
That person is naturally Zigong who is still running around in Xinjiang Su City.
A few days ago, while drinking and chatting with Zigong in the township temple, Zhao Wuxian said again about his ambition to "have fun with all the people". A remark attracted the admiration of Zigong Festival, and he took advantage of the wine, and also broke the news of his ambition by the way.
Zigong talked about a past incident that happened in the country of Lu.
At that time, he and his teacher Kong Qiu, as well as his senior brother Zilu and Yan Yuan, were swimming on Rong Mountain.
Kong Qiu looked at the vista and sighed: "Climbing high and looking far away makes people sad." The second and third sons, you and others have their own words and aspirations, and the teachers will listen to them. β
The people of the Spring and Autumn Period are good at words and ambitions, and the words of Zilu and Yan Yuan will not be repeated, only Zigong.
Zigong's answer at that time was: "If there are two countries that are in trouble, a thousand strong men in armor and dust, and they can reconcile the difficulties of the two countries if they do not hold a foot of soldiers and do not carry a bucket of food." The princes of the world, save with those who give, and die without givers! β
Confucius pondered for a moment, and his evaluation of Zigong was: "Debater!"
After Zigong talked about this, Zhao Wuxian realized that it was not for nothing that he became a diplomat who pioneered the vertical and horizontal school, and he had already set his ambition so early.
However, it is still very difficult to change from a poor businessman to a pedestrian at least at the level of "doctor".
Whether it is the background or the knowledge that needs to be supplemented, it is not something that can be caught up in a day or two.
But it was precisely because of the difficulties that Zhao Wuxian had an opportunity......
Although his business with Zigong is now doing a lot of business, Zhao Wuxian is not satisfied with the life of a small lord who is full of corn and trade.
Zigong once said that he was likened by Confucius to "Hu Lian", that is, a ritual vessel in the sacrificial temple, which has a variety of uses. Although it does not meet the highest standards of "gentlemen are not instruments", it is still very malleable.
Therefore, it would be good if he could take this opportunity to slowly lead Zigong onto the path of a diplomat that history would inevitably take.
Just imagine that in history, "as soon as Zigong came out, he was cunlu, chaotic, broke Wu, and became strong and domineering." As soon as Zigong made a move, the situation was broken, and in ten years, the five countries had their own changes", Zhao Wuxian was heartbroken, and wanted to take this person under his control.
Although Kong Qiu can teach the six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible to teach pedestrian rhetoric and diplomatic model text together.
The best learning material, the Book of Absolute Qin, has a good reputation, but the originals and copies are hidden in the Qin and Jin offices, as well as the private rooms of the Wei and Lu families, and not many people have seen it with their own eyes.
That's why Zhao Wuxian took it to heart and begged for Zigong, which is also a rare model for learning diplomatic rhetoric. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, maybe there are still ten or decades before he can argue and become a great success, and there are still ten or decades to be spent in the days of the princes, but Mo Daojun is early, and there are more early walkers, and the most important thing is to show his heart.
After getting Wei Ju's approval, the two said goodbye to each other and agreed to go to Pan Palace together tomorrow, Zhao Wuxian slowly paced and walked towards his own car.
"It's a pity......," he sighed again.
In the past few months, he has met two top talents in the world, but he wants to establish the safest relationship between monarchs and ministers, so that they can be loyal to him, but he doesn't even have a word.
Zhao Wuxian and Zigong are still bound by a chain of interests, and they have sworn a blood alliance. But between the two, there is still a big mountain of Kongqiu.
If the teacher has something to summon, Zhao Wuxian believes that no matter how much he tempts him with profit, with Zigong's temperament, he who worships Confucius to the extreme, will definitely not hesitate to sacrifice his profits and take righteousness, and return to Lu to serve!
And Zhang Mengtan, and Zhao Wuxian are still in a close but not attached friend relationship, and he can't get a heart-warming treatment and position, which drives him to take the initiative to take refuge and die for himself.
Who said that there are many thousands of horses in the world, and Bole is scarce?
Bole, who knows the general trend of history, can recognize Maxima with his eyes at any time, but Maxima, how can they be so good?
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help humming a song "Zhou Nan" that is often taken out of context and used to describe the monarch's pursuit of talent.
So, sitting in the car, the grandson of the royal Rong Wang, as well as the little boy Ao, who was given special attention by Zhao Wuxian and took him to learn the royal family, and the taciturn Jing, heard the gentleman singing such a poem and pacing, causing them to look at each other.
"Jagged wattles, flowing left and right. My Fair Lady, I covet it. β
"I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning. β
While chanting and sighing, Zhao Wuxian also planned to open, according to the observation of getting along in the past few months, as well as the temptation of light or cover, he believes that the focus of the two people should be different.
For Zigong, words and benefits are no longer of much use, and in the future, we should give him more friendship, such as giving him the "Book of Absolute Qin" that he wants the most, and pretending to be interested in Confucius's learning according to his wishes.
For the calm and indifferent Zhang Mengtan, making friends with friendship is only the first step, and the next step is to tempt him with a good political prospect.
In his day, if there is Zhang Mengtan in the overall situation, there is Zigong in foreign goods, and there are overseas Chinese in internal affairs, there is a king's grandson period in car warfare, and there is a sheep's tongue in garrison training. The rest of the "Wind Forest Volcano" four Simas are each minions, and Cheng Wu is responsible for controlling theocratic public opinion.
If he can control 10,000 large counties and operate for several years, why should Zhao Wuxian worry about his own power? Fan, the Bank of China and the second secretary are immortal?
