Chapter 36: The King of Great Powers

Gao Sheng heard Wei Wei mention the matter of Su Qin entering Qin first, thinking that he was going to steal the credit, he glared at Wei Wei unhappily, and hurriedly said:

"I was about to report to the king, then Guiguzi left Yunmeng Mountain one step ahead of us. Fortunately, we caught up in time and finally caught up with the apprentice Su Qin who was left behind. ”

Gao Sheng lightly erased his setbacks and losses, sounding as if Guiguzi had escaped because of a coincidence. Wei Wei listened to Su Qin talk about the real process of the matter, so he listened to Gao Sheng's report and smiled secretly in his heart.

He deliberately said: "Gao Sheng took Su Qin to our military camp to live temporarily, forcing him too tightly, Su Qin was very dissatisfied. The minister saw that this person was a talent that the king needed, so he changed his strategy and treated him preferentially, I don't know what the king thinks? ”

Gao Sheng's face turned red, he did treat Su Qin rudely, but Gongsun Yan was more responsible, and now Wei Wei was in a hurry to put the responsibility on himself.

He opened his mouth and retorted: "Where did I force him too hard, it was obvious that General Gongsun had to force him." ......" As he was talking, he saw Qin Jun waving his hand to signal to stop, so he swallowed his words back.

Qin Jun Yingsi still intended to protect Wei Wei's face, his military talent was the most urgently needed by the country, and its importance could not be compared with Gao Sheng and others, so Qin Junshu did not want to see Gao Sheng arguing with Wei Wei on such an occasion.

"It's still General Wei who understands the widow's intentions, I recruit talents, recruit people of insight from all over the world, it's too late to treat them well, how dare I snub others." Qin Jun praised Wei Weidao.

"Come, the widow toasts General Wei with a cup to express his gratitude." As he spoke, he picked up the wine lords on several cases, nodded and smiled at Wei Wei, and drank them all.

Wei Wei also hurriedly raised his glass in response, and then said: "Then Su Qin and I both love the art of war and chess, and the two of them hit it off at first sight and talked happily. ”

He earnestly requested: "Su Qin came to Qin alone this time, and the minister wants to ask the king to be kind and allow him to live in my mansion temporarily, the minister is ignorant, and I hope that the king will forgive the minister's presumptuousness." ”

When Qin Jun heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, and then laughed heartily and said: "General Wei has found a bosom friend, and I am also happy for you, you have lived alone for more than ten years, and you don't even want a wife, and the widow is thinking about how to relieve General Wei's worries." ”

"If General Wei is willing to live in the mansion with Su Qin, it will be a good thing, so why is the widow unwilling. Bring him to his house. It's just that the widow also wants to see him, so he just take this opportunity to let him enter the temple to see him. ”

Wei Wei was overjoyed, but Gao Sheng had a straight face, thinking: "This is too cheap Su Qin, he was originally a captive, but he became a fragrant glutton, the general praised him, the monarch respected him, and the crow became a phoenix." Gao Sheng sighed, so angry that he didn't bother to speak.

It's not that Qin Jun can't see Gao Sheng's disdainful expression, and he doesn't value Su Qin very much, but this is a good opportunity. Treating Su Qin favorably, showing that he attaches great importance to talents in the world, isn't it also reassuring Wei Wei, who is not a native of Qin?

The consideration of the monarch, Gao Sheng, as a subordinate, is really difficult to understand.

Su Qin was closing his eyes outside the hall to recuperate, and when he received the edict from Qin Jun to summon him immediately, he was shocked, and he didn't know whether it was a curse or a blessing. With apprehension, he entered the palace with the eunuch on duty.

I saw that the decoration in the hall was very simple, the ground painted with red lacquer, with a vermilion luster, Qin Jun faced south and turned from north, sitting on the Jinluan royal platform with a width of more than three zhang and a height of about two feet.

On the ground on the left and right sides, there were seats placed respectively, and Wei Wei and Gao Sheng sat there, and in front of them, there were several large cases. There were more than ten dishes on several tables, and the three of them were talking while eating.

Su Qin hurriedly walked forward, first showing his respect for Qin Jun with a tending salute, and when he reached about nine feet in front of Qin Jun, he stood down, folded his hands, and bowed to Qin Jun.

In order to show his special status and express his dissatisfaction with Qin Jun's rudeness, Su Qin did not meet Qin Jun with a humble kneeling courtesy.

Qin Jun saw that Su Qin's actions were orderly, polite and courteous, and he said in his heart: "He really understands the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty scholars, probably taught by Guiguzi." After receiving advice from a master, his actions are really extraordinary. ”

Of course, these etiquettes are an important aspect of Mr. Guigu's education of his disciples, just imagine, the disciples lobbied the king, only relied on their tongues to seek a high position as a general, and received a reward of ten thousand gold, these are all necessary qualities, and the subsections often let people see their personal cultivation and insight.

Qin Jun nodded slightly and waved his hand, which was considered a return gift. Su Qin first spoke: "Su Qin, a small citizen of Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, pay a visit to the monarch of Qin." I wonder what you have to teach me when you call me here? ”

Qin Jun smiled lightly, "I am destined to win thousands of miles, and I will go to Yunmeng Mountain to invite you and Mr. Guigu to visit my Qin country." The widow is in the spirit of seeking advice from the masters, so it is impossible to talk about teaching. ”

"Since Mr. has come to my Qin Country, he is a distinguished guest of my Qin State, how about inviting Mr. to dine with the widow?" Qin Jun warmly invited Su Qin to the table.

Su Qin thought to himself: "You are inviting someone, it is obviously a kidnapping." I thought that Yingsi would punish himself heavily, but I didn't expect him to be so gentle and polite. How can I be too petty and let him look flat. ”

"Xiaomin came here from thousands of miles away, the journey was treacherous, and he almost lost his life in Huangquan, so the hardships and dangers were overcome, and he finally arrived in Qin State alive, of course, he would not shirk to have dinner with the king." Su Qin's words were sarcastic.

Qin Jun heard the meaning of Su Qin's words and the thorn in his words, which was indeed uncomfortable, but he held back his anger and said in an amiable tone:

"The messenger sent by the widow to do things misbehaves and may have neglected the sir, and the widow has made amends to you. From now on, if anyone in our Qin State is embarrassed, sir, just tell me that I have to settle accounts with him. ”

Qin Jun was full of unhappiness, but he couldn't bear it, but he was able to say it so beautifully. After hearing this, Su Qin's heart was also much more relaxed.

Wei Wei faintly felt that Su Qin's words offended Qin Jun, so he really sweated for him. Gao Sheng only saw Qin Jun's politeness on the surface, and thought that Qin Jun was too kind to Su Qin, so he was sullen and angry.

Qin Jun ordered someone to give Su Qin a seat, Su Qin knelt down and sat down under Wei Wei's head, the palace ladies made up the dishes for him, and Qin Jun drank a few cups with him, and the atmosphere in the hall eased up.

After three rounds of drinking, Qin Jun said: "The widow lives far away in the west and doesn't know much about the situation in the world, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

Qin Jun said that he wanted to listen to everyone's opinions, but his eyes kept looking at Su Qin, looking forward to his answer. Su Qin modestly waited for Wei Wei and Gao Sheng to speak first.
