Su Qin noticed that among the group of scholars, there was only one middle-aged man who was a little shorter, and he looked like a bold person. Like himself, the man took off his coat and walked in his middle coat, with a big grin and a nonchalant look.

He and Su Qin glanced at each other, and the two of them let out a knowing smile.

At noon, the king of Qi set up a banquet on a terrace on the bank of Zishui, and everyone sat on the ground, bathed in the warm spring breeze, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and their hearts were happy.

The king of Qi put forward a wine order, and he ordered: "Today, the widow and the doctors sit between this heaven and earth, enjoying the boundless spring color, which is really the joy of life.

Starting with the widow, each man sang a poem about spring, and said his own opinion, and if he said that it was reasonable, everyone drank a cup, and if what he said was not approved by everyone, he punished himself with three cups. ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded and readily agreed.

So the king of Qi first chanted, and he said: "'Heaven and earth are in the same spring, and the grass and trees are flourishing. 'The king is a messenger sent by heaven to help the people, and he walks with heaven and earth, and rejoices with all the peoples, so that he is the right way on earth. ”

Everyone listened to King Qi's order to raise their heads, and they all cheered. Su Qin also felt that Tian Bijiang had some talent, and this confession of heart, although he was a little proud and proud, still showed a bigger mind than that Yingxi.

Su Qin then willingly drank the wine in the cup with everyone.

The second person was the turn of the Confucian Gongsun Chou, and he said: "'In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there; Now I think about it, the rain and snow are falling. 'The people of the world look forward to benevolent government, free from the scourge of war, like the arid land looking forward to spring rains, benevolent government is not applied, but vain to expand externally, and it is difficult to fill the desire, which is really the root of all evil in the world. ”

When everyone heard this, they did not feel compassion, and when they thought about the war in the world, everyone was terrified. However, the princes are doing everything possible to expand their power, how can they be benevolent? I am afraid that it has not yet been fully implemented, and the army is coming to the city, and the country will be destroyed.

Therefore, benevolence sounds beautiful, but it is difficult to match with the current world, and it is just an empty word. But because Gongsun Chou said it very emotionally, everyone also felt reasonable, so everyone toasted again.

The third person was Yin Wenzi's turn, and he said: "'Ten thousand trees compete for spring, and the warbler cries and swallows. 'There is nothing in the world, and the mediocre disturb themselves. Everyone is supposed to be able to make ends meet, and to be satisfied with the living conditions of themselves and others, but the reality is the opposite, so it is necessary to spare no effort to dissuade the attack and stop the violence; Tune the world and suppress personal emotions and desires. ”

Yoon's words also struck a chord with people, and he pointed out the path to remove desires in order to calm disputes. Everyone raised their glasses and drank again.

Su Qin felt that his ideals were unrealistic and utopian, and people's desires could not be persuaded by persuasion and teaching. It is only the creation of people who are to blame, and the birth of such a complex body as man, which is mixed with selfish desires and morality, in the world.

The fourth person had the turn to be cautious, and he said: "'The weather is thousands, and the spring breeze is on one side. 'Move with things, treat everyone equally, do not seek wisdom, and change with nature and things. Uniformity, removal of self, no virtuous and no holy. ”

It makes sense to be cautious enough to mix everything up and be clever and clever. Everyone also pondered for the idea of prudence, and everyone had a drink together.

However, Su Qin felt that Shen Zhi's words were very charming to hear, but the living had their own differences, how could they be uniform, so it was just the truth of the 'dead man'.

The fifth person was Zou Yan's turn, and he said: "'Yin and yang alternate, warm and cold at first. All things are in the growth and decline of yin and yang, and the five virtues of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are mutually reinforcing, and the change of dynasty is invariably corresponding, and the retribution is unpleasant. There is nothing more than this to deduce heaven and earth, everything has a fixed number. ”

Everyone also high-fived Zou Yan's lofty talk, especially Qi Wangtian Bijiang, who favored Zou Yan and took the lead in raising a glass to congratulate him, and Su Qin and others also raised a glass to help.

But Su Qin felt that Zou Yan's idea was too grandiose and bizarre, absurd, and implemented it like this, since everything was fate, wouldn't everyone be able to ignore their business and specialize in crooked ways, anyway, if they want to blame, they will blame God. This is really to make the weak bow down and obey the orders without knowing how to fight.

After that, the scholars presented their own songs and ideas one by one, and Su Qin was a little bored to listen to them, so he echoed a few sentences with the flow, and enjoyed the spring while drinking.

The Meng sisters couldn't stand the comments of the scholars for a long time, and went to the banks of the Zishui River for a stroll.

The king of Qi saw that Su Qin was a little distracted, so he named Su Qin to carry out the wine order and offered his songs and poems.

Su Qin thought for a moment and said, "'The spring breeze brings warmth, and Vientiane is renewed. 'The power of the world lies in my generation. Wisdom and adaptability. So as to reach the six together, the four o'clock smooth, the cultivation of all things, and the beauty of the world, endless, Ze Shi people. ”

After Su Qin finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief, which was also his personal proposition that he had gradually formed, and it was inadvertently summarized and formed at this "Heaven and Earth Banquet" of King Qi. It is necessary to take advantage of the trend, grasp the key, fight against the horizontal with cooperation, stabilize the current situation in the world, and stop fighting, so as to benefit the common people in the world.

When the scholars under Jixia heard King Qi call Su Qin to drink, they all pricked up their ears to listen, because at this moment he was already a famous strategist with Yan and Zhao seals. But after listening to Su Qin's high theory, there are people who are not convinced.

Zou Yan disagreed, because he was deeply favored by Qi Wangtian to open the frontier, so he was full of arrogance, and said coldly: "I heard that Mr. Su Qin has been lobbying the princes with a strategy of cooperation and indulgence, wanting to change the pattern of the world, and he has worked hard for this, putting his personal safety at risk, I don't know if this matter is serious?" ”

Su Qin nodded and replied loudly: "Su Qin is not talented, he is willing to participate in the affairs of the world with what he has learned, and be active and enterprising to benefit the common people." ”

Zou Yan laughed disdainfully, and he said: "Mr. Su wants to change the fixed number between heaven and earth with his personal will, isn't it just the mantis arm as a car, I'm afraid I won't see your success." ”

Su Qin said firmly: "Between heaven and earth, people are the most expensive, and the most precious person is that people have a will, and they know how to do it to be worthy of the right path in the world and worthy of their hearts." Therefore, choose your own path and go down firmly to be a sage. You must not see that the difficulty is ahead, and you will shirk it with a certain number. ”

Zou Yan still shook his head, insisting on his opinion. Everyone was talking about each other, Chen Zhi beside Zou Yan couldn't sit still, he clenched his fists and said, "I want to ask Prime Minister Su for a few words, I don't know if you want to listen?" ”

Su Qin also gestured to Chen Zhi, expressing his sincerity.

Chen Zhi then said: "Everything in the world is orderly, and all countries are like this, with different sizes, strong and weak. Great countries like Qi, Qin, and Chu should be able to dominate the world, so why collude with those weak countries, wouldn't it be a loss of identity and useless at all. ”

Chen Zhen's words were very tempting, and some of the scholars nodded in agreement, and Zou Yan even shouted: "Okay, well said!" ”

These words are even more heartwarming for Qi Wangtian, who is so happy and proud.

Su Qin found that he was forced into a corner, and if he did not refute Chen Zhen's remarks, today's argument would be the beginning of his career falling into defeat.

Su Qin glanced around the scholar with a calm gaze, showing a fearless momentum, and then, he said:

"As the saying goes: Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become big; The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so they can be deep, this point Mr. Chen Zhi must understand. Although the country is strong, if it is not chosen at the right time, it may be defeated, so why not only listen to that sycophancy and be complacent. ”

Su Qin's words are clearly to remind Qi Wangtian to open up his territory, not to be arrogant and arrogant, and only listen to flattery and good words. After he finished speaking, he looked at Tian Bijiang and noticed that his face was flushed.

Su Qin originally wanted to stimulate Tian Bijiang, but he was just indulging in words of praise for merit, it was difficult for him to wake up, and he couldn't change Qi Guo's habit of being conservative and resting on his laurels.

Su Qin continued: "Based on Mr. Chen Zhi's reasoning, the strong of the country can monopolize it, then there is always a strong and weak distinction between the Qi State, the Chu State and the Qin State, and from the perspective of a discerning person, the Qin State is already far stronger than the Qi State and the Chu State, so should the Qi State and the Chu State also submit to the Qin State and let the Qin State dominate the world?" ”

How could Qi Wang Tian be convinced by these words, why should Qi obey Qin's orders! "It's just delusional." King Qi pursed his lips unconvinced and snorted lightly.

Su Qin continued to explain the severity of the situation, and said: "If it really arrives at Lian Hengcheng, and the world is subservient to Qin, can we still enjoy the spring and talk about the world on the shore of Zishui?" I'm afraid that when that day comes, you and I will be both captives, and our tongues will be suppressed, and where will there be freedom of mind. ”

Su Qin's words deeply shook Qi Wang Tian Bijiang, woke him up from his dream of self-delusion, and urged him to think deeply. Many of the scholars also pondered the reasoning. The atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant.

One of the scholars stepped forward and interrupted everyone's thoughts, and he said, "Oh, it's a good spring, why bother talking about these boring high theories. Come, come, I'll do the liquor order. ”

Su Qin saw that it was the same person as himself, who was unruly and undressed, and as soon as he opened his mouth, King Qi was also happy, and said: "Chun Yu is going to give an order, okay, okay." Let's hear what kind of crazy things he says. ”

Chun Yuzhi smiled at King Qi and said, "'Twenty-eight years old, spring heart rippling. 'Everyone has desires, who can really get rid of them, who has desires and forcibly suppresses them, physical disorders, mental insanity. ”

He was delighted, and continued: "Conform to the needs of the body and mind, properly vent and tune in, and prolong your life for the rest of your life." Just like today's wine banquet, taking advantage of the spring to be sultry, drinking happily, and being full of Thai is the same spring as heaven and earth. ”
