The weather is getting warmer, and the willow forest on the bank of the Jingshui River is full of carriages of literati and who go out for spring, and on a reef not far away that protrudes into the water, Fan Ju is looking at the wild ducks playing in the water in a daze.

It has been some time since he came to Xianyang City, but he has exhausted his scheming but it is still difficult to enter the Qin court, and the entire civil official system is firmly controlled by Prime Minister Wei Ran, not to mention meeting King Qin, even the bamboo slips in the book cannot reach King Qin's desk. He was empty of his talent for governing the world, and originally thought that he could be reused in the Wei State, but he almost lost his life because of this! Later, he risked his life and fled to the Qin State, but it was useless. Day after day anxiously waiting in the guest house, counting the sunrise and sunset, what I got was always endless disappointment.

"It would be nice to be as carefree and away from distractions as those mallards." Fan Sui muttered.

"How did Brother Fan have this idea of retreating?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Fan Sui turned around, and saw Wang Ji standing next to him with a smile.

Fan Sui arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Wang, alas, I am ashamed to say it, Sui has been in Xianyang for some time, but there is no way to govern the country but there is no way to hand it to the court, and he came out to wander in frustration. ”

Wang Ji pretended to be surprised, and asked repeatedly: "Brother Fan's words are wrong, the document you recommended has been handed over to the royal court a few days ago, the king has always been eager to seek talent, and when he sees Brother Fan's talent, he will definitely send someone to take Brother Fan into the palace immediately, and he will never delay until today." Could it be..."

Seeing that Wang Ji's face did not seem to be fake, and his words seemed to have scruples, Fan Sui muttered secretly in his heart, there must be something hidden in this, and he didn't say much at the moment, pulled up Wang Ji's sleeve robe, came to a secluded place in the forest, and bowed to the end, Wang Ji was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Fan Sui's arms, and said: "Brother Fan, what is this doing, hurry up." ”

Fan Sui resisted Wang Ji's support, lowered his head and said: "Brother Wang has a lot of scruples, you might as well say it directly, there are no outsiders here, the brother who came out of the mouth, into the ears of Sui, except for heaven and earth, no one knows, and please Brother Wang to teach me, great kindness, no teeth do not forget!" ”

Wang Ji sighed and said, "Okay, you get up first and listen to me carefully." ”

Let's talk about the prime minister of Great Qin, Marquis Wei Ran is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xuan and the uncle of King Qin Zhao; He is the number one minister of the Qin State, and is known as the "Four Nobles" along with Huayang Jun, Jingyang Jun and Gao Lingjun. Every year, he would take a large fleet of chariots and horses to travel around the country on behalf of his king, inspect officials, inspect the city, review chariots and horses, and make a fortune. The position of power has reached its peak and is hot.

And the bamboo slip that Fan Sui originally recommended himself was indeed unhindered and successfully arrived at King Zhao's desk, but before that, Wei Ran, the prime minister of this bamboo slip, had already seen it first.

Fan Sui originally wanted to play some tricks, pretending to be alarmist and sensational, intending to attract the attention of King Qin Zhao, so he wrote on the bamboo slip: "There is Mr. Fan Sui of Wei State; Outstanding resourcefulness and a defender for the world; I met the king today, just because the Qin country is like a tired egg, and if you lose your style, you will be in danger, and if you get Fan Sui, you will be safe. However, his words can only be expressed in person, not passed on from generation to generation. ”

Wei Ran couldn't help but smile after seeing it, he had seen a lot of such a madman, and he easily threw Fan Sui's self-recommendation aside. You must know that King Zhao, as the king of a country, has a lot of government affairs to deal with every day, and it is impossible to cover everything, so the work of this distinction is left to Wei Ran to do, the important information is stacked separately, and the unimportant ones are placed on one side. Unfortunately, Fan Sui's self-recommendation letter Jane was among the bunches he asked for this time. In fact, this is inevitable, just because this Fan Sui is from the Wei State, he is not from the same root as Wei Ran and others, and after entering Qin, he is proud of his talents, thinking that he has made the King of Qin welcome him with his own talent and learning, and he has not deliberately integrated into the circle of Wei Ran and other relatives. In addition, there are many self-recommended strategists and lobbyists above the court, such as carp crossing the river, so it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and there is no distinction between good and bad. Therefore, in the upper echelons of the Qin State, there was not much good impression of the guest debaters from the princely countries, and they thought that most of them were untrustworthy. Therefore, even if Fan Ju tried his best, as long as he did not have the support of the four nobles, it would still be difficult to enter the Qin court and state Anbang's plan to King Qin Zhao to govern the country.

Seeing that Fan Sui clenched his teeth and forcibly suppressed his anger, Wang Ji took the opportunity to add the last straw, "Brother Fan, I also made a statement to the prime minister that I wanted to find a position for Brother Fan, but after the prime minister knew my intention, he left a message for me." Wang Ji suddenly adjusted his tone, imitated Wei Ran's tone, and said disdainfully: "Sui? Maniac's ears! ”

Fan Sui clenched his fists, his face turned red, he took a few deep breaths, and laughed wildly: "Qin has the dictatorship of his relatives, it seems to be powerful, but in fact, hidden dangers are gradually emerging, and it will definitely disappear in the long run, so don't go!" ”

Wang Ji saw that the time was ripe, and suddenly said: "I have a plan, I can let Brother Fan see King Zhao, but this trip is dangerous, if I can't get King Zhao's approval, I'm afraid I will worry about my life." Therefore, whether to adopt it or not, please let Brother Fan decide for himself. ”

......

On this morning, after agreeing on many government affairs, King Zhao asked his subordinates whether they had started to play, and then Wang Ji suddenly stepped out and said respectfully: "King, the ministers have something to play." ”

King Zhao raised his hand and said, "Speak!" ”

Wang Ji bowed his head and said: "Yesterday, the minister passed by the wine shop, heard a madman say that I was in danger of the Great Qin country, and the minister was furious, so he went in to reason with him, but he didn't expect that the person was clearly organized, and the statement was powerful, and finally the minister was speechless, embarrassed to retreat, after going back, the minister was uneasy to calm down, and compiled this person's remarks into a volume, please look at it. ”

King Zhao Daqi ordered the eunuch next to him to take the bamboo slip handed over by Wang Ji, only to see that it was written: "Fan Sui of Wei State, I want to see the king but can't, but I have to be called a madman!" Alack... I have heard of the monarchy, and those who have contributed to the country are rewarded, and those who have the ability are entrusted with important tasks; Those who have great merit are generous, and those who are talented are honored. Therefore, those who cannot dare to take office, and those who are capable are not allowed to hide. This is not the case with mediocre monarchs, who reward what they love and punish what they do evil, all by the power of the moment. …… I have heard that those who are good at making themselves rich take more from the country, and those who are good at making the country rich take from the princes. If there is a clear lord in the world, then the princes cannot monopolize patents, why? It is all because the Lord is good at dividing the power of the princes. A good doctor can predict the death or death of a patient, and a wise master can predict the success or failure of state affairs. The benefits are done, the harm is abandoned, and the doubts are less tasted, even if Shun Yu is reborn, it cannot be changed. It's inconvenient to say it in depth. … I hope that the king will allow me to knock and see. As I said, it is useless in the great cause of governing the country and rejuvenating the country, and I am willing to be severely punished! ”

After reading it, King Zhao pondered for a long time and asked, "Where is this person now?" ”

Wang Ji hurriedly replied: "It's in the guest house in the city." ”

"Send someone to announce his audience." King Zhao stood up, took two steps, suddenly stopped, and said, "No! He was picked up in a carriage that received envoys from other countries. ”
