After breakfast, Ying Ji called her daughter to her side and said a few words, and the little girl, with the maids, happily went out to play. When the food on the table was cleaned up, the maids brought the freshly brewed tea.

Ying Ji sat at the head of the table, and Yan Ji sat at the bottom of the master's position, and did not sit with Ying Ji because she needed to take care of the child. Ying Ji's face was solemn, and he spoke:

"Go down, all of you, and command them to go down, and no one shall come in within a hundred paces, and no one shall come in whatever is in the house."

"No", the maid hurried down, stood at the door to convey the master's order, the guards, the maids, each put down their work, and went out in turn.

Ying Ji felt that the guards had walked a hundred paces away, got up and came to the window, closed the window tightly, picked up the "Mozi" on the table, and went to close the door while flipping through it casually.

I opened the third chapter, 'Dyeed,' and read it aloud

Zi Mozi sighed when he saw the silk dyeer: If you dye it in the blue, it will be blue, and if it is dyed in yellow, it will be yellow. When those who enter change, so does their color; Five into the must, it is five colors. Therefore, dyeing must not be careless! While reciting, he observed the changes in Yan Ji, and at first Yan Ji's face did not change much, and Ying Ji continued to read:

"Not only is it dyed, but the country is also dyed. Shun dyed in Xu You and Boyang, Yu dyed in Gaotao and Boyi, Tang was dyed in Yiyin and Zhongyu, and King Wu was dyed in Taigong and Zhou Gong. These four kings are dyed, so the king of the world, established as the son of heaven, and his fame covers the world. The benevolence and righteousness of the world will be called the four kings.

Xia Wei was dyed in Ganxin and Tuiduo, Yin Xun was dyed in Chonghou and Evil, King Li was dyed in Li Gong's eldest father and Rong Yizhong, and King You was dyed in Fu Gongyi and Cai Gonggu. These four kings were not properly dyed, so the country was crippled and died, and it was the only one in the world. If the world is unrighteous and humiliating, it will be called these four kings.

Qi Huan was dyed in Guan Zhong and Uncle Bao, Jin Wen was dyed in Uncle Sun and Gao Yan, Chu Zhuang was dyed in Uncle Sun and Shen Yin, Wu Lu was dyed in Wu Yuan and Wenyi, and Yue Goujian was dyed in Fan Li and Dafu. These five monarchs were dyed, so they dominated the princes, and their fame was passed on to future generations. ”

"Childe, don't read it anymore, sit down and listen to me tell you a story" Yan Ji said a little tiredly, Yan Ji is such a smart person, she already understands that the reason why Ying Ji is doing this is because she is thinking about her own feelings, and it is not easy to ask directly, but from the article he just read, Yan Ji has already heard the sound of the strings.

'Dyeed' is Mozi's metaphor for dyeing silk, admonishing the Son of Heaven, princes, doctors, and scholars to choose their cronies and friends correctly in order to achieve good edification and positive influence.

The quality of the influence is directly related to the success or failure of the cause and the rise or fall of the country.

From the moment Ying Ji walked past him just now, his eyes never left the Wu hook, Yan Ji knew that this man who had been with him for two years had begun to doubt his identity. suspects that he has a great connection with this assassination, and the reason why he did not ask him directly,

Perhaps, to a large extent, he still doesn't want to believe that he has something to do with it.

"Yan Ji, have you listened to me read it well?" Ying Ji's tone is so warm and gentle, there have been countless days and nights, they spent this way, Ying Ji read, Yan Ji on the side of the lamp for him, grinding for him, he wrote the wrong bamboo slips, with a carving knife to scratch out, a few times because of carelessness, the finger cut, whenever this time, Ying Ji will always stop the work in hand, quickly run over, put Yan Ji's broken finger into his mouth to suck out the blood, and also not without reproach to warn Yan Ji to be careful. Yan Ji would always fall into Ying Ji's arms, enjoying the rare tranquility of the two, Yan Ji told herself countless times, 'What a good man, if you were not the son of the Qin State, how good'.

"Fan Ji was dyed in Changliushuo and Wang Sheng, Zhongxingyin was dyed in Qin and Gaoqiang, Wu Fucha was dyed in Wang Sunluo and Dazai, Zhibo was dyed in Zhiguo and Zhang Wu, Zhongshan was still dyed in Weiyi and Yanchang, and Song Kang was dyed in Tang Dynasty and Dianbu. These six monarchs were not properly contaminated, so the country was ruined, as a torturer, the temple was destroyed, there was no descendant, the monarchs and ministers were scattered, and the people were exiled. The greedy and harassing people of the world will be called these six kings.

What is the reason why you are safe? With its line of reasoning also. Rationality is in dyeing. Therefore, those who are good as kings are laborious in judging people and not in judges. can't be a monarch, hurt and tired; However, the country is in danger and the body is humiliated. These six monarchs do not respect their country and love their bodies, so they don't know why. Those who don't know what to do are not properly dyed.

Non-independent countries are also infected, and taxis are also infected. His friends are all benevolent and righteous, and they are cautious and fearful of orders, so the family is increasing, the body is safe, the name is honorable, and the officials are reasonable. His friends are all very hardworking, and if he creates more than Zhou, his family is damaged, his body is in danger, his name is humiliated, and the official loses his reason. He said: "You must choose what you can." Those who must be careful are also said to be worthy. ”

It can be heard that Yingji's reading voice is somewhat desolate, and the two lovers who get along day and night have the same heart for each other.

Ying Ji can feel Yan Ji's changes, and Yan Ji can also understand Ying Ji's entanglement. "Why? Why? Each other's hearts kept shouting.

Yingji has always hinted that all this is a coincidence, and it will not have anything to do with Yan Ji, it was me who was wrong! I read it wrong! Our children, our lives. Although he came from a princely family, he was ruthless. I cherish everything in front of me. The Qin State has a strict legal system, and since he was a child, he thought that people were all in contact with each other, and only when he arrived in the East did he know that the exchanges between people were so colorful. How boring and pale the life of Qin was. Between the two, it seems that there is a difference between summer and winter, the East is enthusiastic and unrestrained, the colors are gorgeous, and the Qin State is cold and pale, and it is monotonous that cannot be said.

All the people only know how to fight and farm. Compared with the Orient, the poetry is so rough and savage, without the slightest elegant melody. People are so rigid and stubborn, even women are very different.

If women are made of water, the women of the Qin Kingdom must have been made by Nuwa Niangniang in the cold winter. It's an ice sculpture! Ice sculptures through and through! There is no Oriental woman as soft as water. They don't know how to talk about love, how to be coquettish, even if it is the joy of fish and water, in their eyes, it is just the responsibility of life inheritance.

They will only do two things, one is to urge their men to go into battle to kill the enemy and fight for the knighthood earlier. The second is to drive his man from the bed to the field early, go to farm, and strive for a good harvest, which can be exchanged for a knighthood.

The national policy formulated by Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying has made earth-shaking changes in the Qin State. They turned the originally beautiful, nomadic and mysterious Western Regions power into a war machine, an exquisite and huge war machine, and everything in the Qin State became a part of this machine.

The grain of the Qin State served as military rations,

The land of the Qin State was used to drill soldiers,

Including the men of the Qin State, who were conscripted into the army and went into battle to kill the enemy,

The women of the Qin State, working in the rear, supplied the supplies needed for the front.

Even the wood and stones of the Qin State will be pushed above the city as rolling wood stones to kill the enemy.

If he hadn't come to Yan Kingdom, Yingji wouldn't have felt that all this was any different. Inherited from ancestors, they are used to it, and they will also think that all this is taken for granted. Just like a person who has never seen the sea, no matter how you describe the vastness of the sea, how vast it is, and how majestic it is, it is difficult for him to reach the resonance of the bottom of his heart, because he has never seen it! I can't talk about liking.

As the saying goes; "Lovers who have never met are not worth recalling".

Ying Ji sat down, on top of his usual bookcase, Yan Ji brought him a cup of tea, and sat next to Ying Ji.

Straighten up the hem of your skirt and slowly speak:

"That Wu hook has been lying there for a long, long time, if it weren't for the fear of losing your father and daughter, I wouldn't have taken it out again today," Yan Ji said as she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. You can see that the corners of her eyes are full of tears.

"In order to break the alliance between Chu and Qi, Qin sent Zhang Yi into the temple of Chu. He promised King Huai that if Chu and Qi broke off diplomatic relations, Qin would return the 600 li homeland that occupied Chu.

King Huai was born in the court, grew up in the hands of women, learned the Central Plains culture since childhood, and admired the etiquette of the Central Plains. Believe in 'words must be done, deeds must be fruitful'' and a gentleman's promise. The aristocratic etiquette of the daughter'. Zhang Yikou sheng lotus. The talent of tongue discernment is unparalleled in the world, how can King Huai see through the tricks of Zhang Yi, a columnist.

In addition, Zhang Yi bought the traitorous ministers of the Chu State with a lot of money, and a group of traitors and villains, who regarded the interests of the country as grass mustard, only cared about their own personal money and beauty, and instigated King Huai to break off diplomatic relations with the Qi State.

The warrior Song Yi was sent to the state of Qi to insult the king of Qi Xuan, and the king of Qi Xuan was furious and turned to conclude an alliance with the state of Qin.

When King Huai learned that he had been deceived, he was furious.

Sent the general Qu Qi to lead the army to attack the Qin State. King Huiwen of Qin sent his chief Wei Zhang, Zhu Liji, and Gan Mao to lead an army to meet the battle, and Korea also sent troops to help.

The two armies fought in Danyang, after several battles, the Qin army did not take advantage of the slightest, retreated in a hurry, the Qin people were unwilling to fail, and resorted to a divisive plan to destroy the relationship between the Chu generals, coupled with the traitors in the DPRK and China, there were a lot of dirty disputes between the generals of the Chu State, and it was inevitable that the cooperation was not as close as before.

The situation on the battlefield is often in an instant, which can determine success or failure, the Qin army broke through one by one, defeated the Chu army, captured more than 70 generals such as Qu Qi and General Fenghou Chou, and escorted them to Xianyang.

In front of the princes and envoys of the world, the beheading of the beggars was shown to the public. The great powers of the East were shocked.

In this battle, the Qin army killed 80,000 Chu troops, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Chu state.

Before the war, the general Qu beggar, risking death to admonish the king, do not rush to raise troops, the king did not listen, the beggar knelt on the court, kowtowed and bleed, the king was unmoved, insisted on sending troops, and the beggar had no choice but to retreat. I know that this is more than lucky.

Even if he is not killed by the Qin army, he will be framed by traitors in the court. Chu Guo can't stay anymore, his own daughters who are still in swaddling clothes, how to arrange them, once they are not in this world, who will take care of them.

On the eve of departure, Qu called his wife to his side to ask for the future.

"Madam, I'm afraid I'll never come back on my journey west," Qu Qi said, his words full of sadness.

"Husband, why are you so sad and earnest, I have a million halberds and brave soldiers, can't I beat the Qin army!" Madame asked.

"If the two armies face each other and fight head-on, Chu and Qin have their own destiny. But I'm just afraid that there will be a fire in the backyard of my Chu State temple! Qu Qi said helplessly.

"In that case, what are we staying here for? I'm going to pack up my things and go to another country," said Mrs. Qu.

"No, madam, my Qu family has been loyal to the Chu State for generations, how can I leave this country when it is difficult, even if this battle is broken, I will not leave the Chu State for half a step." Qu Begg's tone is so resolute, for a general who puts life and death aside, the glory of the family is more important than his own life.

"But what about our daughters? They're still young, so they won't let them die with you, right? Mrs. Qu had understood her husband's wishes, and she was unwilling to change her husband's decision, but out of the instinct of a mother, she had to speak her heart.

Qu Qi looked at the woman in front of him, full of guilt and unable to speak. After tonight, there may never be a chance to express it again.

Qu Qi left his seat, threw himself on his knees, and said:

"Madame, I'm ashamed of you! Those who have not entered are the responsibilities of their husbands, and those who have not entered are fathers. "Talking about tears, sorrow comes from the heart.

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Qu, while pulling her husband up, was already crying.

Life and death parting, the catastrophe of people.

"Tonight, you will pack up your things and take our daughter to Yan Kingdom, I have a friend in Yan Kingdom, you can go to him", Qu Qi said at the same time, walked to the wall, and took off a pair of 'Wu hooks'.

Said: "This pair of 'Wu hooks' was forged by the King of Yue himself to the King of Chu, I have a meritorious conquest of the south, and the King of Chu will reward me, this pair of Wu Hooks is well-forged, and there is no one who can do it in the world." ”

Saying that, the Wu hook was pulled out, and the room suddenly flashed with cold light, the handle was rosewood, and the word 'Gusu' was engraved on it, one of which pressed the gold wire into the sandalwood, and a dancing phoenix was about to come out. The other, using the same technique, depicts a dragon rising into the air. Teeth and claws, majestic.

"You take them with you, my general's family, there is nothing else, when our daughters grow up, each of them will have a handful, the world will be in chaos, and girls should practice martial arts to protect themselves" said and put Wu Hook into the hands of his wife.

The lady knew that her husband would not leave with her, so she hurried to the back hall to take her daughter out, and Qu beggar looked at this, looked at that, and kept playing with the two little babies with her hands.

The baby may understand something, don't cry or make a fuss, watch his father, and play with himself.

How Qu Beggar wished that time would stand still at this moment, so that he could spend more time with his daughter. But, time! Oh time! Why are you in such a hurry?

Don't give me the dying person, leave a moment of peace, and let me enjoy the joy of family.

The hourglass in the house was chattering, and it was about to dawn in a few hours, when the old butler hurried forward and said:

"General, in a few hours, it will be dawn."

"Oh! Knowing "a pair of girls, they have already fallen asleep."

Look at this, kiss that! Reluctance, difficult to express. But staying here is a dead end. Instead of accompanying themselves to the funeral, it is better to let their mother and son live well.

In troubled times, live! It's hard! It's hard! Such a decision, at this moment, will not be made easy because you are a general or an ordinary person! The parting of life and death between family affection is painful to the bone.

The rain outside the window has no intention of stopping. The branches of the trees blown by the wind swayed back and forth, and as soon as the day dawned, he would lead his troops to the battle, and he might never come back.

Oh, my God! Why can't you give me a sunny morning, and let me see my beloved woman and my infant child in the morning glow again?

Oh, my God! Why can't you let me be with them?

"It's not too early, let's go!" Qu Beggar's face was already full of tears, and Mrs. Qu was also in tears.

"Take care of your husband," said Mrs. Qu as she carried the two children into the car, and the guards had already brought the prepared carriage and horses.

Qu Beggar originally faced the inner room, not wanting to see this parting scene, full of tears, tears like raindrops outside the house, endless. The demon turned around like a god.

"Wait a minute, let me take another look at my child," Qu said as he ran out of the hall. The hand that was reluctant to let go for a long time hugged the child tightly. Keep kissing them, on top of their rough faces, the roots of their beards! Woke up his sleeping daughter.

The rain in the sky, the cry of the child, a life-and-death parting.

A big southern country, from the peak of the moment of decline.

"Hey!" A sigh, "You guys go quickly" The general was used to seeing corpses all over the field, and originally thought that he was hard-hearted, but he never thought that he was also a child of this temperament.

The coachman whipped his horse and drove away, and the lady and the maid each carried a child in their arms, and looked back through the window, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Qu Beggar waited until the carriage and horse disappeared into the night, sat down on the ground, hugged his head and cried! The cry is heartbreaking.

He was crying for himself, a man who would never return home, who would never see his loved ones.

He was crying for the king of Chu, rushing and untimely expeditions, being deceived by the Qin State again and again, without knowing it, and the court was filled with countless villains.

He is crying for the Chu army, the brave general who originally 'won the Central Plains', a division of kings who expanded the territory, and will go to a road of no return under his own leadership.

He is crying that the country of Chu, a large country in the south that has flourished for more than 700 years, will be destroyed in the hands of their generation, and the turning point of history is just around the corner.

Life is not like this, when everyone is drunk, it is painful to be sober! Seeing his country declining step by step, he couldn't do anything about it.

In the midst of lightning and thunder, the torrential rain was like a note, and a general who had been in a hundred battles cried loudly......

"You are the daughter of the great general Qu Beggar, and this Wu hook was left to you by your father, right?" Ying Ji said as he took Yan Ji's Wu hook in his hand.

"That's right! I am Qu Beggar's eldest daughter" Yan Ji said lightly, after saying these words that had been stored in her heart for many years, she felt much refreshed.

"No wonder today's assassin imagines you so much, it must be your sister" Ying Ji looked at the woman in front of him, a woman who had lived with him for many years and had a daughter, and actually hid so many secrets from herself.

The most critical point is that she is still her father-killing enemy. Although it is not rigorous to say this, but in any case, it was her own country and her own father who killed her father.

'The revenge of killing the father is not shared. Why hasn't she made a move all these years? Ying Ji was puzzled.

For the current Yingji, although it is not like when he first came to Yan Kingdom, but anyway, he is in the war machine of Qin State, from birth to growth, for him, 'everything in the world cannot be changed without power', he can't really understand what 'love' is and what 'love' is.
