Chapter 53: Pie in the Sky
Chapter 53: Pie in the Sky
Handan is shrouded in festivity, and the people of the country are happy to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. In the old year, they were frightened, for fear that the Qin army would kill and break Handan, and many people fled Handan because of this. Fortunately, God bless Da Zhao, and the Qin army retreated. Zhao Guo narrowly escaped this catastrophe, can the people of the country not be happy?
Out of anticipation for the new year, the Chinese people have made this year lively, and the whole Handan is full of festive atmosphere.
However, Xinlingjun was not very interested, and he was also not interested in drinking and feasting with a group of guests.
Not for anything else, for his reputation is tarnished and vilified. He adopted Lu Zhonglian's suggestion and entered Handan when Zhao Guo was frightened, and he really gained a good reputation and fame, which is a great thing.
It's a pity that he met Qin Yiren, and was slandered by Qin Yiren on LΓΌ Buwei's betroth, saying that he coveted LΓΌ Buwei's wealth and conspired to take it for himself, and sent a "big gift" to LΓΌ Buwei for this purpose, intending to stink LΓΌ Buwei's reputation.
Afterwards, Qin Yiren held on even more, and sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that there was a nose and eyes, as if there was such a thing, and Xin Lingjun's reputation plummeted, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.
"Xinlingjun, you don't have to care, the rumors stop at the wise." Hou Ying announced.
"Although what the gentleman said is reasonable, how few wise men are there in the world?" Xinlingjun sighed.
Qin Yiren's move was ruthless enough to make him lose his prestige. Of course, not everyone will believe the rumors spread by Qin Yiren, as long as they have brains, they will not believe it. The question is how many people can really have brains? Most people follow the crowd and believe the rumors.
"If I don't restore my reputation, my plan will be in vain." Xin Lingjun entered Zhao this time because of a major plan, one is to enhance his reputation, and the other is to make friends with Zhao State, coerce Zhao Guo to return to China to plot great things, and win the throne of King Wei.
Right now, his reputation has plummeted, and if he can't recover the decline, Wang Baxiong's plans will be in vain.
"Hey. We discussed for a long time, but we couldn't come up with a magic plan. Hou Ying sighed.
"Xinlingjun, what's the worry about this?" At this moment, I saw two doormen come in, it was Mao Gong and Xue Gong who were respected by Xinling Jun.
"Oh." Xin Lingjun's interest was aroused, and he stared at the two and asked, "Do you two have a clever plan?" β
"I have discussed this matter with Gong Xue, and I just have a plan, and I ask Xinling Jun to consider it." Mao Gong smiled slightly.
"Come on." Xinlingjun couldn't wait.
"Xinlingjun is worried about the decline of fame, but I am worried about the excessive reputation of Xinlingjun." Xue Gong didn't answer immediately, but spoke amazingly.
Xinlingjun and they are worried about the collapse of their reputation, but he is worried that his reputation is too great, which is also too amazing, Xinlingjun and Hou Ying's eyes are like swords, looking straight over.
Xin Lingjun's eyes were full of heat, and he couldn't wait to pull out the answer from Xue Gong's mouth.
"What do you mean by that?" Xinlingjun, who had always been calm, stood up violently, his eyes wide as a cow's eyes.
"Xinling Jun can know that since King Wuling implemented the national policy of 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting', Zhao has become the strongest Warring States in Shandong in one fell swoop, and Handan has become the center of Shandong. Mao Gong began to tell the story.
"yes." Xin Lingjun nodded and said: "The martial spirit king is strong, the weak Zhao becomes the strong Zhao, the north breaks the Sanhu, the Huns are defeated, and the sincerity is heroic." β
Raising his eyebrows, he changed his words and asked, "But what does this have to do with the matter at hand?" β
"Huh!" Mao Gong let out a string of laughs and said, "Just make a fuss about this material ceremony." Handan Picking Materials Ceremony, bringing together the world's celebrities, when the debate, becomes a momentary weight, for the world's heavy. Since the outbreak of the Changping War, it has not been held, if Xinlingjun holds a ceremony to pick up materials, why worry about the good name? β
"I'm holding a ceremony for the stinging materials?" Xinlingjun was surprised for a while.
"That's right. I discussed with Mao Gong, only in this way, Xinlingjun's reputation will not only not fall, but even worse than in the past. Xue Gong nodded heavily and affirmed loudly.
Hou Ying patted his forehead heavily, with an anxious face, and said: "What the two of you discussed is certainly reasonable, but it takes a lot of gold. Where is Xin Lingjun going to get so much gold now? β
Xinlingjun is not without gold, but has a lot of gold, but his gold in Wei was sealed by the king of Wei, and he can only live a difficult life in Zhao.
If you want to hold a ceremony of picking materials, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars, where can I find this?
"yes." It is a pity that Xinling Jun is great.
"Why is Xinlingjun worried?" Mao Gong is Zhizhu in his hand: "The ceremony has not been held for three years, if it is held by Xinlingjun, the reputation will be spread all over the world, and then you will be worried that no one will give you a gift?" Even if no one gives money, in the name of Xinlingjun, come to the door to ask for some, this is all right? Ten thousand gold is enough. β
"It's the same way." Xin Lingjun's eyes were shining, and he agreed with this.
Xinling Jun's reputation is spread all over the world, and if he wants to hold a ceremony for picking materials, there will naturally be people who endorse him and praise his reputation. If he goes to ask for money again, someone will inevitably give it away, and it is not a big problem to raise tens of thousands of gold.
"If this is really the case, Xinlingjun's reputation will be spread all over the world, and it will be better than in the past, Hou Ying congratulated." Hou Yingchong congratulated Lingjun.
"Huh!" Xinling Junda was overjoyed, the problem that had plagued him for a long time was solved, and his reputation would be on a higher level, and he would be one step closer to the throne of King Wei: "Well, since I want to do it, I will do it more beautifully, I will send a book to Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi, and invite them to come to Handan to judge." β
During the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, a hundred flowers bloomed, and many outstanding scholars emerged. Xunzi and Gongsun Gongzi are the two banners of the academic community during this period. If they can be invited to come, it will definitely spread all over the world, and then the reputation of Xinling Jun will be even greater, which is a great thing.
"Set up the wine, I want to drink with Mao Gong and Xue Gong!" Xinling Jun is very happy.

"What happened to you? It's like losing your soul. Zhao Ji was a little dissatisfied, and scolded Qin Yiren.
At this juncture, Qin Yiren was proud of the spring breeze and went to Zhao's mansion to propose marriage, Zhao Xiong agreed with his mouth, recognized him as his son-in-law, and his marriage with Zhao Ji was officially confirmed.
As for Zhao Lie, who annoyed him, he didn't even show his face, and he didn't know which corner he was driven to draw circles by Zhao Xiong.
No matter how important the major events in life are, Qin Yiren should be happy, however, Qin Yiren is not a god, and he looks like a god who does not keep his mind.
"What else could it be? Of course, it's because of fame. Qin Yiren smiled bitterly.
What he needs most at the moment is to become famous, and he needs the opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, but he has been thinking about it for many days and has not thought of a good way.
Without fame, it is nothing, even if Qin Yiren returns to the Qin State, he is still not taken seriously, and it is impossible for him to ascend to the throne of King Qin at all.
"Childe, Childe." At this moment, I saw Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong and Lu Jujian Fei also rushing over, and they shouted from afar, all of them were excited, and they were even happier than the New Year.
"Big deal, big deal." The four of them cheered.
"It's just over the New Year, and you're celebrating the New Year again?" Qin Yiren was surprised for a while.
"It's more pleasing than that." Meng Zhaoxin was straight-mouthed, and hurriedly said: "Childe, the material ceremony is about to be held, and your opportunity has come." β
"Need to be so happy?" Qin Yiren is not salty or light, and the next moment, it is like a fire burning his buttocks, he jumps high, his eyes are round, and he roars: "What did you say?" Pick-up ceremony? β
"yes." Meng Zhao nodded heavily and said, "Xinlingjun is going to hold a ceremony to pick up materials, which has been spread all over the world, and I want the scholars to rush to Handan after the autumn to debate." Here, this is Xinlingjun's proclamation. Meng Zhao handed a scroll of bamboo slips to Qin Yiren.
Qin Yiren snatched it, unfolded it to take a look, and yelled at the sky: "Meng Zhao, you hit me!" Hit me! β
Meng Zhao was so frightened that he retreated, he only had respect for Qin Yiren, how could he have the slightest disrespect, and he would never dare to point a finger.
"I was hit by a pie falling from the sky! And smashed into the mouth! Qin Yiren hugged Zhao Ji and roared even louder.
