Chapter 15 Qin Mugong I
finished talking about Jin Wengong
Let's get back to it
Let's talk about the story of Qin Mugong
We talked about it earlier
Jin Xiangong destroyed the Yu State
I originally wanted to reuse Bailixi
But Baili Xi didn't go to work
In the heat of the moment
Jin Xiangong regarded Baili Xi as his daughter's dowry
Sent to the State of Qin
The one who married the daughter of Jin Xiangong
It is Qin Mugong
Baili Xi's dowry is on the way to accompany him
Ran away
Ran to the state of Chu
As a result, he was arrested as a spy
He was then exiled to the South China Sea to herd horses
Let's talk about Qin Mugong
After the marriage
You may want to see how generous your husband is
I checked the list of dowries
It turned out that there was one less slave named Baili Xi
It just so happened that there was a man named Gongsun Zhi under his command
It is from the Jin Kingdom
asked Gongsun Zhi if he knew Baili Xi
Coincidentally
Gongsun Zhi has really heard of Baili Xi
He told the story of Baili Xi to Qin Mugong
Also said
Baili Xi is good at scheming
And loyal and patriotic
It's a rare talent
It's a pity that I didn't meet the master
If the king has this man
Dominate the Central Plains
It's not a dream
Qin Mugong heard that there was such a great talent
I can't even take care of the little daughter-in-law I just married
I want to find Baili Xi right away
After many inquiries
Only then did I know that Baili Xi was herding horses in the Chu State
Qu Cai
It's too condescending
Qin Mugong was about to send someone to see King Chu Cheng with a lot of money
To redeem Bailixi
Gongsun Zhi stopped him in time
king
Baili Xi is not worth so much money
Five sheepskins are enough
Qin Mugong didn't understand
Didn't you say he was talented?
How is it worthless
The king doesn't know anything
King Chu Cheng is also a person who loves talents
He is because he doesn't know the talent of Baili Xi
He was asked to herd horses
If you ransom with a lot of money
King Chu Cheng will be alert
Don't let go of Bailixi
Qin Mugong came to his senses at this time
Qin Mugong's envoy came to the state of Chu
Meet King Chu Cheng
king
We have a slave named Bailixi
Ran to your country
Our king was very angry
Trying to redeem him
Punish in public
to warn other slaves
After saying that, he offered five sheepskins
King Chu Cheng didn't think much about it
Let people find Baili Xi
Handed over to the envoy of the State of Qin
In this way, Baili Xi was brought to the Qin State
Gongsun Zhi greeted him at the border early
The next day
Baili Xi was brought to Qin Mugong
I finally met the legendary Daehyun
Qin Mugong couldn't help but be stunned
In front of him was a bad old man with white hair
Qin Mugong glanced at Gongsun Zhi in confusion
That means
You can't be bringing the wrong person, right?
Gongsun Zhi nodded slightly
Never mind
Maybe it's the time when people let the horses go
It's too much work
Excuse me, sir, Gui Geng
oh
I'm seventy
Qin Mugong gave up completely
I wanted to reuse Mr
But you're too old
I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to let go of the horses
Baili Xi saw that Qin Mugong had something to say
How
Can't I even put my horse down?
No way
I've got to say a few harsh words
Baili Xi stepped forward
I looked left and right
Bow your head and whisper
king
It doesn't matter if you're old or not
It's up to you to ask me to do something
Qin Mugong almost laughed out loud when he made him
Then tell me about it
What can you do?
If the king asks me to go fishing and catch birds
Chase the beast
Then I'm really old
If I could give you advice
Govern the country
I'm still in the right age
Look at Jiang Ziya
He didn't come out of the mountain until he was eighty years old
He also helped King Wu of Zhou to lay down the eternal country
And compare with him
I'm still very young
Qin Mugong felt that this old man dared to compare himself with Jiang Ziya
I can't help but be interested in him
Let's talk about it
It doesn't matter
Baili Xi is always answered
How to govern the world
How to enrich the country and strengthen the army
This old man is talking about the head and the way
In order
Qin Mugong became excited
God help me
God help me
I've got to sir
It's like Qi Huan Gong has Guan Zhong
is about to worship Baili Xi as the prime minister
Baili Xi stopped him in time
king
Calm down
Calm down
I'm capable though
It's comparable to a friend of mine
I'm still a lot behind
This friend that Baili Xi said
His name is Uncle Jian (pronounced the same as picking up).
Back then, Baili Xi wanted to go to Yu State to be an official
Uncle Jian strongly objected
Such a small country
The monarch has no ambitions
It's hard to play your talents
It will also invite calamity
But at that time, Baili Xi
Big-hearted
Nowhere is it available
It's a bit lonely
did not listen to Uncle Jian's advice
It turned out to be one
Captured as slaves
South Sea Herding
And Uncle Jian
Still living in seclusion in the countryside
Wait for your time
Qin Mugong listened to Baili Xi's suggestion
Immediately send someone to find Uncle Ji
Invite him out of the mountain
Assist yourself
Achieve hegemony
soon
Gongzi was ordered by Qin Mugong
Come and find Uncle Jian
Meet Uncle Jian
Childe respectfully handed over the letter
Read the letters
Uncle Jian sighed
Back then, Yu Jun didn't need Baili Xi
Don't listen to advice
Eventually, the country will be destroyed
Now Qin Gonghui's eyes are clear
Appoint wise men
A hundred miles of Xi
That's enough
I've been in seclusion for years
I don't want to be an official again
Childe, please come back
Childe hurriedly accosted
Dr. Baili Xi said
If you don't go to Qin
He didn't want to be left there alone
I hope that Mr. will be perfected
Uncle Jian listened
Nodding helplessly
All right
In order to fulfill Baili Xi
I'll just take a trip
Let's keep it short
Uncle Jian came to Qin with Gongzi
met with Qin Mugong
Pragmatic Qin Mugong
In person, I asked Uncle Jian for advice on how to govern the country and seek hegemony
Anyway, you ask me
Uncle Jian is also welcome
The state of Qin and the minority Xirong are neighbors
The people of Qin have always intermarried with the Rong people
Develop a lot of bad habits
There is no emphasis on etiquette
They don't know how to walk according to the law
In my opinion
The king should strengthen the education of the people
Severe punishment should be imposed on those who commit crimes
Let the people know what to do
What not to do
Have a sense of honor and disgrace
Have a sense of shame
The national climate is correct
The rest is easy to do
Qin Mugong nodded
Then he asked
Then I want to dominate the princes
Pls sir
Where do I start?
Uncle Jian pondered for a moment
If the king wants to dominate
It's not about doing good
Instead, don't do a few things
first
Don't be greedy for small profits
second
Don't be pretentious
third
Don't rush things
looked at Qin Mugong's somewhat dazed eyes
Uncle Jian explained further
Coveting small profits often suffers big losses
Righteousness can make people lose their minds
It's easy to make bad decisions in a hurry
The king can only do everything step by step
Only then can we lay a good foundation for the country's prosperity
With a strong foundation of its own
can talk about hegemony among the princes
After listening to Uncle Jian's analysis
Qin Mugong's mouth suddenly opened
There is a great sense of seeing each other and hating each other
I got Baili Xi and Uncle Jian
It's like having two more arms
The next day
Bai Li Xi is the left minister
Uncle Jian is the right phase
With the assistance of two sages
The state of Qin gradually became stronger
In the years that followed
The state of Qin helped many princes of the Jin state ascend to the throne
He also worked with Qi to help Jin defeat Chu
Its own strength is stronger
628 BC
Jin Wengong died
Qin Mugong felt that this would be long and the other would disappear
The time has come
I want to take the opportunity to attack the Jin Kingdom
Establish hegemony
Want to fight
That's where the opportunity comes
Someone in Zheng Guo reported to Qin Guo
It is said that he holds the gates of Zheng Guo
The Qin army went to sneak attack
He can serve as an internal response
Open the gates
Qin Mugong told the news to Baili Xi and Uncle Jian
Both of them felt that this matter was not very reliable
A thousand-mile march to sneak up on someone else's
There are very few that don't leak the news
Again
Zheng has someone to reveal secrets to us
It's hard to guarantee that some of us will leak secrets to Zheng Guo
At this time, Qin Mugong couldn't wait
Back then, I helped the Jin Kingdom to quell the civil strife
I have appointed several of their kings
I should have been the lord of the princes a long time ago
It's just that the Jin State defeated the Chu State
I didn't fight with Chong'er
Now Heavy Ear is also dead
It's time for me to carry out my plan to dominate the world
Don't persuade you
Then he appointed Baili Xi's son Meng Ming as the main general
Uncle Jian's sons Xi Qishu and Bai Yibing were deputy generals
The army went straight to Zheng Guo
