"Zhao Shu * The Biography of Yu Qing" contains: Yu Qing's lobbyists are also, tiptoe on the eaves and say that Zhao Xiao became the king. At first sight, he was given a pair of gold and white bi, and then he was Zhao Shangqing, so he was called Yu Qing.

(Yu Qing is a lobbyist.) Wearing straw sandals and carrying an umbrella, he went to lobby Zhao Xiaocheng as king. When they met for the first time, they gave him a hundred pieces of gold and a pair of white biblios; The second time they met, he made him the secretary of Zhao State, so he was called Yu Qing. ）

Zhao Jie scooped out a little rice juice with a spoon, and then made an open mouth shape at Zhao Huan. "Ahh Zhao Huan opened his mouth as expected to learn from Zhao Jie's appearance.

Zhao Jie carefully poured a very small amount of rice juice into his sister's mouth, and Zhao Fan immediately closed his mouth and began to taste the taste of the porridge.

The mother on the side looked at Zhao Jie and Zhao Huan's intimacy, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

The palace was not a place for Zhao Jie to stay for a long time, and at the same time, Zhao Jie accompanied his father out of Handan Palace. In the small carriage, Zhao Dan and Zhao Jie, father and son, sat opposite each other.

"Jie'er, this time for my father's private service, to observe the people's feelings, you will always follow!" Zhao Dan commanded, his tone was flat and bland, without a trace of waves.

"The child takes the command." Zhao Jie reminded: "It's just that micro-service patrols generally have to have a pseudonym, what does the father think the child should be called?" ”

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said: "I think it's better to be called Zhao Tian, and the orphan alias Zhao Dan (Shan), you and I are still called father and son." ”

"Zhao Tian, good name, simple and atmospheric, I like it!" Zhao Jie said to himself. Zhao Dan smiled with satisfaction when he heard this.

After agreeing on everything, Zhao Dan and Zhao Jie quietly got out of the car in a corner. After a while, there was a beautiful boy and a young man full of childlike fun on the road, and the pedestrians looked sideways.

"Dad, our decoration today seems to be a little too conspicuous." Zhao Jie muttered to Zhao Dan quietly.

"No way, these two clothes are already the most ordinary clothes that your queen mother can find in the palace." Zhao Dan also quietly explained helplessly.

"I'll go, this reason, it's like a local tyrant to say it!" Zhao Jie rolled his eyes, thinking in his heart. Continue to walk, and before you know it, you will enter the West Market.

"Whew——! Phew——! Phew——! The troika passed by Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan at great speed, and the sound of the wind driven by the carriage all came into my ears.

"Whose carriage is this! How can you be so arrogant! Dare to speed on the road! Zhao Dan's face was filled with a hint of anger, and he shouted on the side of the road.

"Childe, I see that you are dressed in gorgeous clothes, you should rarely go out!" A passer-by in the same direction next to him took the initiative to talk to Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan nodded and did not speak, but his expression and movements showed acquiescence to the passerby's guess.

The passer-by continued to kindly remind: "Gongzi often doesn't go out, and it's not strange that he doesn't know, the carriage he just passed by is the special carriage of the Handan Guo family." "Handan Guo's family, iron smelting is the industry, and it can be compared with the king's wealth" Handan Guo's family is talking about it, and the army of my Zhao State will order a large number of weapons from the Guo family every year, so in Handan, almost no one dares to touch the Guo family. The person in the carriage is Guo Kai, the next generation heir of the Guo family who has been booked, this Guo Kai has been arrogant and domineering since he was a child, but he is very good at management. Now that Guo Kai has just returned from the Qin State, I heard that he has made a lot of money, and now is the time to be in high spirits, I advise Gongzi not to mess with them. ”

Zhao Dan nodded, then bowed to the passers-by and thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, I will remember your words." ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, passers-by left unconsciously. At the same time, the shouting of a fortune teller also reached the ears of Zhao Dan and Zhao Jie.

"God calculates divination, a hundred tests, three hexagrams a day, one or two for each hexagram." The diviner's voice became louder and louder, as if he was getting closer and closer to where Zhao Dan was. After a while, a middle-aged man walked in front of Zhao Jie and Zhao Dan.

"Does Childe want to tell a hexagram? This hexagram master has tried a hundred hexagrams! The diviner asked without humility or arrogance, and there was no appearance of a poor person at all.

"Is it really a tried-and-true one?" Zhao Dan was intrigued and continued: "Today, you will count a hexagram for me to see who I am sacred. ”

"Pay the hexagram fee for one or two pieces of silver first." Without hesitation, the diviner stretched out his hand, his words and actions slightly arrogant.

"Son, give him a tael of silver," Zhao Dan ordered, so Zhao Jie took out the silver money that his mother had given him before leaving.

"Here's a tael of silver, you can take it." Zhao Jie handed a tael of silver to the diviner, and the diviner stuffed it into his arms without a trace of panic.

After receiving the money, the diviner's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and he asked respectfully: "May I ask the guest officer whether he is measuring words or drawing lots?" ”

"Word measurement." Zhao Dan replied without thinking.

"Then please write the words you have in mind." The soothsayer handed over a pen and said.

Zhao Jie pondered for a while, and then wrote a three-painting character - "Shi". "How could I have written this unknowingly? Maybe it's because I've been thinking about seeking a sage these days! Zhao Jie secretly explained his behavior in his heart.

"Is that all? Don't change? The diviner asked patiently.

"No change." Zhao Dan said categorically.

"Then put the pen down!" Hearing this, the diviner continued: "I probably already know your identity, but I still need to do the math to make sure. ”

Zhao Dan put the pen horizontally in front of the diviner, eagerly waiting for the diviner's answer. The diviner stretched out his hand and made a few quite profound movements out of thin air, which seemed quite mysterious. After about two minutes, the diviner retracted his hands, crossed his hands, and saluted Zhao Jie respectfully towards Zhao Dan: "The people of the mountains and grasses pay homage to the king. ”

Zhao Dan was shocked when he heard this, and an incredible look appeared on his face. Although Zhao Jie was also quite surprised, he quickly reflected it. "The identity of the king must not be revealed! Otherwise, something will happen! Zhao Jie thought.

So he whispered to the diviner: "Diviner, don't talk nonsense!" My father was just an ordinary merchant, and by no means the king of what you call him! We don't want to rebel and become kings, that's going to kill our heads! ”

After listening to Zhao Jie's words, an unpredictable smile appeared on the diviner's face. "This hexagram master calculates according to the words, and has not made a mistake for many years." The word 'shi' plus a horizontal pen is the word 'king', which shows that the identity of the distinguished guest is the proud son of heaven and the king of the world. Whether I'm right or not, your father and son should be quite clear about this, and I won't be inconvenient to say more. The diviner maintained a mysterious image and said respectfully to Zhao Dan and Zhao Jie.

(The original meaning of the word Shizi is a martial artist who fights with a big axe; The original meaning of the word king is the largest battle axe, borrowing from the invincible commander on the battlefield, and the king is a super soldier. Wang and Shi have the same origin, and in the text of the pre-Qin, Wang has one more horizontal than Shi)

At the same time, Zhao Dan also woke up from his surprise. Zhao Dan was noncommittal about the calculation results of the diviner, and asked bluntly: "Sir, can you answer the question in my heart?" ”

"The needs of your guests are far away in the sky, close at hand, and the word 'shi' has pointed out the direction of the people your guests need."

What does that mean? I don't understand! Zhao Jie asked suspiciously. The bystander was clear, and Zhao Jie, who was standing on the side, saw it more clearly, so he leaned into Zhao Dan's ear and said: "The beginning of this word is pointing to this diviner, practicing the words that are close to the eye, according to his son, this diviner is seeking an official in disguise." ”

Zhao Dan suddenly realized when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing. "Tian'er, go to your house and get a pair of gold and white bi, and my father will give them to this interesting fortune teller." Zhao Dan instructed Zhao Jie in his ear.

Zhao Jie immediately ran to his home when he heard the order, while Zhao Dan continued to talk in detail with the diviner. At 6 o'clock, Zhao Jie returned to Xishi again. Zhao Dan gave the gold and jade pendant to the diviner without feeling distressed, and then left laughing.

Five days later, in the political arena of Zhao, a new star rose, and a man named Yu Bu was worshiped by King Zhao Xiaocheng as Shangqing. Zhao Jie found out that this person named Yu Bu was the soothsayer he met during Weifu's private visit.

————————————————————————————————————

Maybe there is a balance in time and everything, when Yu Qing was active in the Zhao court, another person was treated coldly, this person was Zhao Jie, who had only been jumping for a few days. After that private interview with Weifu, Zhao Jie once again became a person who had nothing to do.

The day after Weifu's private visit, on the ten-mile pavilion outside the city, Zhao Jie bid farewell to Li Mu here.

"Your Highness, as soon as I arrive in the Northlands, I will immediately send intermediaries and scouts to draw the exact shape of the grassland, in order to make what you call a sand table as quickly as possible." Li Mu continued: "If the sand table can really be successfully made, those of us who are generals will benefit greatly, the ability to command will be raised to a new level, and the soldiers can also greatly reduce the damage. ”

"The technical content of the sand table is not high, you must pay attention to secrecy, in case other countries find out this secret and stand on the same starting point with us again." Zhao Jie reminded Li Mudao: "In addition, it is best for the general not only to make a topographic map of the grassland, but also to draw the boundary between the Yan State and the Qin State near the grassland. When the general sends troops to the steppe, these two countries will definitely be ready to move, and with the sand table, they can prepare in advance at key positions according to their movements. ”

"Mu understands, His Highness Xie reminds!" Li Mu thanked him.

……

After a period of greetings, Li Mu left Handan under the protection of the guards.
