Chapter 20: Doubts After the Fire

King Qin Zhao's words frightened all the Qin ministers into getting drunk. Daliang Zao Gongsun Qi came out on behalf of the ministers and said: "King, this matter is absolutely not feasible, there is no such precedent for the previous kings of my Great Qin, I hope the king will think twice." ”

Keqingzao also then said: "The monarchy is bestowed, how can mortals be the second father, Jiang Shang is the prince of the martial king is the expedient measure of the Zhou State, and the Duke of Qi Huan worships Guan Zhong as the middle father is the evil custom of the Qi State, how can these two be effective." ”

Wang Di, the commander of the left army, immediately came out and said: "Mr. Fan is not a native of my Qin country, if the king worships him as his father, won't he make the princes of the world laugh at me that the Qin people are not as good as the Wei people?" ”

Seeing one important minister after another opposing one after another, King Qin couldn't help but be stunned, and the atmosphere froze for a while. Seeing this scene, Fan Ju in the hall hurriedly lined up to start a round, and politely refused: "The king's words are serious, and it is our duty as courtiers to assist the king in accomplishing some achievements." ”

King Qin laughed loudly, and then went downhill and said: "Sir, don't be humble, I know your loyalty and ability very well, I think the name of the father is probably not worth your credit at all." ”

King Qin paused, and then continued: "I will forget the name of my father, and I will give you the name of the marquis, and ten thousand households will eat it!" Another reward of 10,000 taels of gold! ”

The ministers in the hall were silently amazed when they heard the words, but they were not speechless, so Fan Juji bowed and said: "Thank you for the king's love!" ”

As soon as Fan Ju's words fell, King Qin turned his head and looked at Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains. He pointed at Zhao Sheng and said sharply: "I heard that Mr. Fan's enemy Wei Qi is now living in your house, and I hope you will send someone to retrieve his head; Otherwise, I won't let you send a letter to Guguan. ”

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he was stunned, and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't know where you heard about it, my lord, hearsay is not a good habit!" Wei Qi has never been to my Plains Monarch's mansion, otherwise how could this monarch not know. ”。

"If you have accurate information, then the Wei Qi dog thief is in your mansion, think twice, or hand over the people!" King Qin's face changed, and he said with a straight face.

Pingyuan Jun sternly refused: "When you are noble, you have to make lowly friends, in order not to forget the friendship when you are low; When you are rich, you have to make poor friends, so that you don't forget the friendship when you are poor. I, Zhao Sheng, still have a certain reputation in the world, and I will never do anything to betray my friends to seek glory, otherwise what will the people of the world think of me Pingyuanjun. Wei Qi is my friend, even if he is in my house, I will never hand him over, not to mention that he is not in my house at all now. ”

"Do you mean to go against my Qin State?" King Qin threatened: "Are you going to lock you up for fear of me?" ”

"Die, I don't know what it is." Pingyuanjun said sarcastically: "You should know that in these years, the most worthless thing is human life, and the simplest thing is death. ”

"Don't be ashamed!" King Qin shouted angrily: "Come on, send Pingyuan Junli to the embassy!" King Qin accentuated his tone on the word salute.

In this way, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, began his short career as a prisoner.

Zhao State, Handan Palace, the court meeting started as usual, the only difference was that Zhao Jie, who had not been to the court for a long time, once again stood on the steps between the ministers and the king.

Perhaps because of the fire that everyone expected last night, the relationship between the ministers at the court meeting was much more harmonious. Whether it was Zhao Dan or the ministers, they all did not mention the assassination, and tacitly forgot about Lin Xiangru's assassination.

Looking at the ministers with politicians' faces, Zhao Jie felt disgusted with them for the first time. Unconsciously, the court meeting ended under Zhao Dan's announcement.

"Jie'er, come with me!" Before leaving, Zhao Dan called out to Zhao Jie in a flat voice. Zhao Jie replied, and then followed Zhao Dan into the inner palace.

It is still Zhao Dan's study, still the same as yesterday, Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan talked face-to-face again.

"Not happy?" Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Jie for a long time, and then asked.

"Hmm!" Zhao Jie nodded, and then hummed.

"Is it because of last night?" Zhao Dan continued to ask: "You think I did something wrong, don't you?"

"Erchen doesn't dare." Zhao Jieji bowed and said: "A father will not make mistakes, but his son is not thoughtful." ”

"Don't dare? Then how did I smell a sour smell and asked? Zhao Dan joked to Zhao Jiedao. Zhao Jie was speechless, silence was golden.

"Nothing more! Want to know why I burned that evidence and hid the truth? Zhao Dan continued.

"Hmm!" Zhao Jie nodded again, and then hummed.

Zhao Dan casually threw Zhao Jie a roll of bamboo slips, and then said, "This is your Uncle Yu's recital, I decided to give up your suggestion after reading this article." ”

Zhao Jie took the bamboo slip and couldn't wait to open it, and the text of dozens of words was impressively displayed in front of him. "I won't keep you, take it back and take a good look, if you don't understand anything, just ask your Uncle Yu!" Zhao Dan saw Zhao Jie's performance, nodded, and then said.

Zhao Jie replied, and then slowly exited Zhao Dan's study. Back in the house, Zhao Jiezai carefully read Yu Bu's recital. Simple language, narrating the cruelty of reality, thus deducing the conclusion that Zhao Jie's idea is not feasible. On this day, Zhao Jie repeatedly browsed Yu Bu's recitals again and again, and fell into the first battle between heaven and man in his life.

The serious opposition between reality and ideals shook Zhao Jie's thinking for the first time.

"In this era of civilization, can I really fight my way out?" Zhao Jie couldn't help but ask himself: "Extremely backward social order, extremely backward political system, extremely backward production capacity, can I really use my current ideas in this land?" ”

Beautiful ideals always make people yearn for them, and all mortals in the world have had fantasies without exception, and desperate people can often find new hope from ideals.

At the same time, for most people, the reality of existence as opposed to the ideal is generally tortuous, and it often makes hopeful people despair.

The contradiction between ideal and reality made Zhao Jie fall into the battle between heaven and man, he sat on the lichen in the study stupidly, and kept muttering in his mouth, completely unconscious Dao Yanjing had already walked to the door.
