Although the pre-Qin era was a bad etiquette, it was also more etiquette than later generations, and there were rules for visiting them, especially when the lower ones met the higher, and there was no reason to come to see them in the middle of the night.

This is called 'Starry Night to Vote', if Bai Dong puts aside his wife and invites Wei Ying to enter the room, from then on Wei Ying will be regarded as a pro-party of the Bai family, and he will climb to him, Bai Zuo.

You can't let Wei Ying go too well.

Bai Dong knows best that legalists and scholars can do things and do bad things, they are all pragmatists, in order to achieve their own ideas and goals, they will not frown when they kill people, even in the common law system in later generations, where case law is the mainstay and lawyers' defense is a necessary system for criminal law, the law is still a terrible double-edged sword, not to mention in this era when there are criminal penalties but no civilians, and there are courts but no lawyers? Wei Ying is a fierce tiger, and if he releases it, he will hurt people, and it will be too smooth, and it will not be good for him or Lao Qin.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a little butterfly stirs its wings, and a storm will be brewed somewhere in the world; Lao Qin dropped a white left, and his influence has far exceeded that of the three recommended Wei Ying's Jing Jian in history, if Bai Dong helps him, Wei Ying will skip the grinding stage that must be passed, it is estimated that he doesn't even have to do it at the guest level, and he will directly become the minister of law change; This can be seen from Yingquliang's attitude towards Bai Dong, although he didn't say it explicitly, Yingquliang still hopes that he can take on some more things, but he refuses, if he recommends Wei Ying, Yingqu Liang will definitely get a treasure, Wei Ying can easily get Jun's grace, and the means will only be more severe.

So Bai Dong is gone, as long as Bai Chi sends a message to Wei Ying, he wants to enter Baijiazhuang, and wait until the sun rises to say that the old man will return to the old man. Rules are rules.

received a reply from Lao Baichi. Wei Ying smiled bitterly: "It's okay." The martingale will wait outside the village, wait for the three poles of the sun, and then enter the village to taste the good tea of Baizi. ”

"Hehe, then you just wait. The master said, Wei Ying, this person is very stubborn, he is afraid that he will not leave, Bai Chi you brought a tent and a feast quilt for him, and a jar of good wine. Let him warm up. Mr. Wei, you don't have to be polite. ”

"Then thank you Baizi, please thank the old housekeeper on behalf of Wei Ying."

"You're welcome, the host said, you are an old man"

Wei Ying slept very comfortably this night, the Bai family's tent was wide and tidy, and soft cloth pads were sewn on the feast, especially the wine, which was more majestic than Wei wine, and it was the wine of a strong man.

Day to three strokes. Wei Ying knocked on the village again, but this time it was Lao Bai Chi who came out: "Is it Mr. Wei?" My master said. Today he has important business and cannot meet the gentleman; If you are in a hurry, please go back first, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well stay in the village, good wine and good food have been prepared for Mr.

"I see. Then don't bother the Bai family, Wei Ying still lives in the tent and waits, but the Bai family's good wine still needs a jar. ”

"Ha Luha, just sir, the old slave will send the wine and rice, sir, please wait."

"Baizi, what a style you and I debated in front of the palace that day; On the day of Martingale leaving Qin, you personally sent each other off, and said goodbye to Martingale hand in hand, how deep is it? The starry night is gone, when you are a gentleman, why don't you want to see me during the day? Is it that the martingale has fallen to this point, and it is not as beautiful as it was that day? Bai Dong, are you still a gentleman?"

"If you Wei Ying were a gentleman, you wouldn't have come to Baijiazhuang, now you blame others? Hehe, let's be patient and wait, you see how patient I am, and I also brought my own dry food pillow mat. But I'm in Lao Qin, but you're a foreigner, and the king issued a recruitment order, so you shouldn't treat the world's scholars badly, right? Could it be that the Zhaoxian Pavilion didn't eat well and made you unable to stay? ”

A middle-aged man with a white face and a long beard jumped off his horse, carried a pillow and glanced at Wei Ying with a smile, and walked to the front of the village and knocked on the door.

It is estimated that the reply he got was the same as Wei Ying, and he walked back a little boringly, looked at Wei Ying's tent and said: "Oh, it's so cold weather, I just brought a pillow mat, but I didn't bring a tent." Your tent is so big, why don't you let me squeeze it? Don't stare at it, I brought salted fish chicken, please eat it. ”

Wei Ying frowned and looked at this person, and saw that although he was dressed in tatters, he was well-mannered, with big ears and a grand head, so he had a good impression: "Who is Mr.?" ”

"Jingnan Zhao Liang."

"Zhao Liang? It turned out to be a generation of celebrities who wrote "The Theory of Jing Disaster", Mr. is here in Baijiazhuang? ”

"Naturally, I asked for more money from Bai Zuo. He won't frown except for the millions of gold spent on destroying Nanmo, but now Zhao wants to control the water but has no money, the government doesn't give it, and the businessmen don't help, so he thinks of him as a rich man; However, it is not easy for Zhao to ask for money, so he has prepared a pillow mat and is ready to lie here? You and I are all the same, you shouldn't laugh at me, right? ”

"You're here to ask for money?"

Wei Ying's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine that Zhao Liang, a famous person, could still ask for money with a reasonable attitude, and he was even thicker than himself.

"I came to ask for money for the people's livelihood, and you came to ask for the future, but for yourself. It's a pity that you are too anxious, but unlike the Weizi who talked eloquently in the Liyang Hall that day, he didn't take the right path of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, but came to cling to the powerful, but so much. ”

"If you want a future, it may not be for the livelihood of the people of the world, and clinging to the powerful is faster than the so-called 'right path' step by step, what's wrong? You are a famous person in the world, but you are just a pedantic person. ”

"Hehe, or not, it's okay for me, a 'pedantic person', to meet you today, and it's fate. Zhao has already smelled the wine, why don't you take out your good wine? I don't drink yours in vain, so don't be stingy. ”

It rained in the afternoon, Zhao Liang honestly and unceremoniously squeezed into the tent of Wei Ying, and the two talked while drinking, gradually getting acquainted and talking about their own affairs.

Zhao Liang was born in Confucianism, but he was a doer, he felt that Jingshui was fierce, and every summer flood peak, he would wash away many homes and fields.

Over the years, he has devoted himself to building canals and controlling waters, but he has no money in his hands, so he runs to the local officials to apply, and the local officials are also poor, who will pay attention to him? His idea actually coincided with Zheng Guoqu in later generations, but it was in the Yingzheng period. Zheng Guo's entry into Qin was also a plan for South Korea to weaken Qin. It can be seen that the project cost is huge. What's more, this poor and weak old Qin now? Therefore, he hit walls everywhere and his ambitions were difficult to achieve. Now that he heard that Bai Dong was rich, this very thick-skinned guy came running over, as if he was the creditor of the Bai family, and he had to give money when he came to the Bai family, and if he didn't give it, he would be ready to stay here.

Wei Ying was more depressed than him, and when Uncle Acne was dying, he played the trick of recommending the virtuous and killing the virtuous, but fortunately, Wei Ying was a benevolent monarch and did not kill him. He was bent on achieving his ideals. I asked to see Wei Ying several times and finally couldn't see him, so I had no choice but to travel to various countries, hoping to find an opportunity to stretch, but I didn't want to go to the Qi country, and I was suppressed by Shen Buxi, and I was hesitant to be found by Jing Jian in a hurry, and I learned that Yingqu Liang was recruiting talents from all over the world, so I came to Qin State with ambition.

How do you think that at this time, the Qin State is still not valued by the scholars of the world, and most of the people who are willing to come to Lao Qin are the so-called 'sages' who are difficult to achieve their ambitions, and nine out of ten of these sages are ambitious and talented. Ying Quliang saw it a few times, and then lost confidence. The Zhaoxian Pavilion has gradually become a 'Yangxian Hall'.

Jing Jian mentioned his name in Yingquliang, but unfortunately Yingquliang's deepest memory is the disgraceful past when he was 'embarrassed' by Lao Qin and lost to Bai Dong that day, and he didn't even feel in the mood to see him; Seeing that it has been more than a month since he entered Qin, he is still a person who eats white rice in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, how can he be willing? Thinking that Lao Qin was in the middle of the day, Bai Zi was having an old and close staircase with him, so he came to see him in the starry night, but he didn't want to eat the closed door.

The purpose of these brothers and sisters is different, but they all see Bai Dong's 'opportunity', and the more they talk with each other, the more speculative they become, and they don't realize that the night has passed, and on the second day, I can't imagine that Bai Chi still replied to the master and did not reply, please wait for another day.

If this is the third, Zhao Liang was furious, if it wasn't for Wei Ying's pull, he would have opened his throat and scolded in front of Baijiazhuang; Finally, Bai Dong didn't go too far, and at noon on the third day, he took the initiative to send Bai Chi to invite the two of them, first please take a bath and then invite tea and dinner, and then meet in the main hall, and the first person to see was Wei Ying.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, Baizi is very different from that day, and how difficult it is for Martingale to ask to see him"

Bai Dong asked for tea, but Wei Ying was still in the mood to drink it, sighed, and gave Bai Dong a deep salute: "When I came to visit on a starry night that night, Martingale thought that he was Bai Zi's old friend, and he thought of himself; Zhuang Qian lingered for three days, martingale knew that today is different from the past, so the old Qin has been a high lord, martingale is just a poor man"

"Hehe, these few days of troubles will slow down Wei Zi, the old man is still the old man, if Wei Zi has something to say, please speak up."

"Don't dare to be called a guard, just a guard. Since Bai Zi said so, Martingale said bluntly, Martingale has the heart to serve the country and has a strategy to change the law, but there is no way to advance, and I want to ask Bai Zi to lead the way"

"Do you want me to lead the way? Let me ask Wei Zi first, you were originally a Wei person, and when you were under your uncle, you worked for Wei, but now you want to serve the Qin State, how can you make the king believe you? ”

"This matter should be left to nothing."

"Weizi is the 'law' faction of the Legalists, not compared to the situation and the two factions of art are relatively mild, one day to move the law, the whole country will be affected, success will be the king's joy, defeat will be the country's worries, how to make the king believe in you?"

"Martingale once discussed the law with Bai Zi in Hualou, Bai Zi knows me, and he should rely on Bai Zi!"

"Those who have changed the law of their ancestors since ancient times are either dead or dead, and Zhou Gong is benevolent and faithful, and he is almost regarded as a rebel by the people of the world; When Wei Zi changed the law, if the whole country came to attack, then Lao Qin would be chaotic, should the king deal with it, or should he deal with it? ”

"Rely on the law in your heart, the knife in your hand!"

"You're going to kill someone, aren't you?"

Bai Dong frowned slightly, the legislation of modern society is not for the purpose of killing, only for the purpose of killing, it is not that people cannot be killed, but this Wei Ying is still too angry! I let him eat three closed doors in a row, but he still can't make him move his mind a little, can he really not save him, it depends on his car breaking and dying in the future?

"Whoever does the Dharma will kill! Otherwise, how can we deter the people of the country and make them abide by the law? If Bai Zi does not lead the martingale to Jin because of this, the martingale will leave immediately. ”

"You are a talent, I will naturally recommend it to you, but I have a request"

Bai Dong sighed: "When you are in charge of the national law, if you can kill less, don't kill more; If you can't kill, don't kill less, is Wei Zi willing to respond to me? (To be continued......)
