——

But when Ju Xin went to Chu with the talisman of defending the country, Meng Ben hurried back to Chaoge from the camp.

At this time, in the inner hall of the palace, Wei Zheng, who was in a good mood, was writing calligraphy, and now with the appearance of blank paper, it has become a reality to cultivate one's self and self-cultivation for book entertainment. Thin paper dotted with thick ink:

[At the beginning of ancient times, who preached?

The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested?

Who can be the best?

Feng Yiwei is like, how can he know it?

……

I told you that it won't be long.

And try to give yourself, loyal to the name? 】

At the end, Wei Zheng, who didn't say a word, stood with his pen in his hand, and immediately read the full text, with a total of 1,553 words in 372 sentences. In the case that the beautiful seal style is deeply loved by contemporary people, the font written by Wei Zheng is Lishu style.

Legend has it that a slave invented this refined style, so this font is called Liti, who invented it has been impossible to study, although the Liti character is not adopted by the government as an official style, but it is very popular among the people, because it is easier to write the Liti character than the more beautiful seal style, which has contributed to the more and more popular Lishu in the folk.

"It's a masterpiece of the ages." Wei Zheng looked at the full text and said with a sigh to himself, the long poem he wrote is called "Tianwen", which is the masterpiece of Qu Yuan, who was expelled by King Huai of Chu back then, and was sad and haggard in his heart. Wandering between the rivers and rivers, wandering on the mountains, I also felt that I made one famous article after another.

This "Tianwen" is one of the works of Mi Yuan's time, and it has been introduced to the Central Plains this morning, and it has been passed down and read by people all over the world.

Just when Wei Zheng was admiring Qu Yuan's masterpiece, the old chamberlain in the palace came to report: "Your lord, Meng Ben led the generals to ask to see!" ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he immediately restrained all his feelings of appreciating the long poem, his face suddenly became bland, and no one could understand what he was thinking through his eyes, and said after a while: "I know, let Meng Ben meet alone." ”

After finishing speaking, he put down the brush and waved his hand, and the palace attendants quickly put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and retreated, leaving only Wei Zheng in the hall, and immediately returned to the throne and sat down. From time to time, I saw Meng Ben, who was carrying a tiger on his back, striding over in military uniform, and when he arrived under the throne, he faced the king and bowed his hand: "The minister sees the king!" ”

"Get up and talk about it!" Wei Zheng smiled calmly. Meng Ben suddenly got up, clenched his fists and said, "The minister left the camp without being summoned, and asked the king to punish the crime." ”

"Leaving the barracks without being called, what made you so anxious?" Wei Zheng said with a smile.

"The last general is puzzled, my country is a victorious country, so I will reconcile with the Chu country, but why do you want to cede the land of Yanying? This place can not only be used as a springboard to go south to the Chu State, but also to control the northern Wuguan to eyeing the Qin State, and the land of Yan Ying is a rich land, so he is above the court but he will be sent back to the Chu State with a word, how can my king respond lightly? The battle of Weichu poured the strength of the country into two years of hard fighting, and the city land that our army had suffered countless casualties and injuries in exchange for. After speaking, the angry Meng Ben arched his big hand and clenched his fists silently.

"The temper is not small, how many people have you and the generals come to the palace before?" Wei Zheng said silently without raising his head.

"Ten of them, all of them have made great contributions." Meng Benkou said straightforwardly.

"Mu Han can be among them?" Wei Zheng asked again.

"It's called! But the boy refused to come, and the last general didn't have a problem with him. Speaking of Mu Han, Meng Ben immediately hung on his face with an unhappy face, and he was angry.

"Then it's you, Meng Ben, who took the lead in asking for your life." Wei Zheng muttered to himself, couldn't help nodding to himself, he already knew the general idea in his heart, and after a while, he looked at Meng Ben, who was unhappy: "In this battle of Chu, you and other soldiers have made great contributions. But what do you do to seek the country's war and diplomatic relations? Why did you and other soldiers fight? Meng Ben, do you know? ”

The king asked, Meng Ben thought about it and then hugged his fists and said: "Then there is no need to say, of course it is for my king!" ”

Wei Zheng suddenly shook his head with a long smile: "Whether it is diplomatic relations or war, the root of it is to make profits for the country. If it is advantageous, it will move, and if it is not profitable, it will stop, and the way to take advantage is to have a way to fight, and there is also a way not to fight. When he was in Chu, the widow said that there would be no gains and losses for one city and one pond. Let's just say that this time to reconcile with Chu, return the land of Yan Ying to Chu, in exchange for the national letter of the king of Chu to cut the land, the land of Jianghuai will become a place where I defend the country in the name of righteousness, not the land taken by the army, black and white is here, that is, the Chu State wants to deny it in the future and has no choice. Willing to give, there is a sacrifice to have gain, I lost Yan Ying and got the three Jin with the same breath, only I look at the horse. At that time, I will defend the country as a sword, and the kingdom of the world is all fish and meat, so its great interests are still defending the country. ”

In the battle of tongues, how could Meng Ben be better than Wei Zheng? After a few words, he was speechless, Meng Ben looked left and right, hesitated, and finally clenched his fists and said: "The last general will be guilty." ”

"What's the crime?"

"You shouldn't talk about national policies, and you shouldn't leave the camp without permission."

"Oh...... You and others are all people who have made great contributions to the widows, and they are all meritorious people who have defended the country. Wei Zheng looked at him with a smile and nodded, Meng Ben also smiled dryly when he saw this, Wei Zheng didn't smile, and suddenly said: "...... You Meng Ben just led the crowd to force the palace, this little thing is not a big crime! ”

Meng Ben still laughed dryly, his brain was half a beat slower, but he didn't keep up with Wei Zheng's rhythm, and only woke up after a while, the dry laughter stopped abruptly, Meng Ben's face changed drastically in fright, and he instantly knelt on one knee: "Don't dare, the king...... I will be me, I will ......"

Wei Zheng's gentle smile instantly became fierce: "Do you know why Mu Han didn't come?" Do you know why the widow let you in alone? ”

Meng Ben shook his head very straightly, but his rough face was already full of anxiety, and his heart was already panicked, Wei Zheng said: "If this matter is discussed in front of the court, the land of Yan Ying will be returned to the Chu State and the matter is small, and more than ten generals such as Raner left the camp without permission, gathered people into the palace and disobeyed the order, according to the new law, how should it be handled?" Well? ”

"Depend on ...... According to the new law...... When the crime is a capital crime, he will be cut in half! I don't know how to be good Meng Ben was anxious instantly, he didn't expect this matter to be so serious, and he didn't think about it, but he was upset when he learned about the land cut, so he did it, and now it seems to be extremely stupid, thinking of the new law of defending the country, and then thinking of the ten generals outside, Meng Ben immediately clenched his fists and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter started because of me, and the minister is willing to apologize with death." I also ask the king to forgive the ten generals, they are all meritorious men who defend the country, and in the future, they will have to rely on them to open up the territory for my king, and they cannot be killed all——! ”

"Get up—" Wei Zheng drank in a low voice, and then got up from the throne and came to Meng Ben: "Do you know why the widow only summoned you in?" If it is discussed before the court, the law is not merciful, the law is like a mountain, even if the widow wants to protect you, you will not be able to protect you, you will all have to subdue the law, understand? ”

"The last will understand."

Wei Zheng really looked up at the hanging beam and said: "You Meng Ben have been following me for 20 years, and you have followed me all the way to the east and west, from birth to death. The widow doesn't want to lose a tiger general to protect the new law! ”

"The king's ......" Meng Ben heard it, and learned that Wei Zheng just asked himself to come in alone to protect them, otherwise in the face of the new law, eleven people would have to be punished by the law, thinking of Meng Ben here, he couldn't help but feel hot, and he gave up his hand: "The minister swears to follow the king to the death, and he is willing to smear my king's liver and brain, and he will not hesitate." ”

Wei Zheng suddenly fell into the air, stared at Meng Ben and said, "You remember it for me, this matter should have never happened, and the widow will not pursue it, and there will be no more in the future, do you know?" ”

Looking at Meng Ben, who was on the back of a tiger, like a naughty boy who had done something wrong, he nodded again and again to admit his mistake, his submissive appearance was really a little spicy, Rao is Wei Zheng couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but kick the other party gently: "You kid really doesn't make people worry, I will cause trouble in the future." ”

Seeing Meng Ben standing in place with a smirk, Wei Zheng suddenly feigned anger and said, "What are you doing stupidly? Why don't you hurry up and return to the barracks with ten generals immediately? ”

Meng Ben came back to his senses and thought of the right thing and let out an "oh" sound again and again, that is, he clenched his fists and arched his hand: "The last general will retire!" ”

Looking at the back of Meng Ben, who was leaving in a hurry, Wei Zheng shook his head with a smile, and then said loudly: "Come on, bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone!" ”
