Chapter Nine: The Jade Seal of the Kingdom (I)

Lin Xiangru shouted "Junshang", which means that since then, he has become a minister of Qin.

What no one expected was that Lin Xiangru, the mortal enemy of King Qin Zhao, and the person that King Qin Zhao hated the most, turned out to be like Qin Chen, which was too dramatic.

However, it makes sense to think about it carefully, because King Qin Zhao attaches great importance to talents and constantly recruits talents. Fan Suizhi came to Qin State because of the result of his deliberate solicitation.

When Wang Ji sent an envoy to Wei, King Qin Zhao specially summoned him and gave him a mission, asking him to check whether there were any talents in Shandong, and if so, bring them to Qin.

This is just an envoy, King Qin Zhao did not let go of recruiting talents, for this matter, Feng Menglong, who has always been "Qin Hei", in his famous book "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", also did not hesitate to praise King Qin Zhao as a "person with a heart".

It is precisely because King Qin Zhao attaches great importance to talents and recruits talents that he has attracted Fan Sui, a great talent.

Although Lin Xiangru is the mortal enemy that he hates, however, Lin Xiangru's talent and conduct are admirable, so King Qin Zhao admires him from the bottom of his heart, so he tries his best to recruit him.

King Qin Zhao's magnanimity and open-mindedness look at the world, and no one has surpassed it. King Qin Zhao can apologize to Lin Xiangru, his hateful sworn enemy, no matter how much praise is exaggerated, even a diehard anti-Qin element like Lin Xiangru has to break his heart, and finally choose to stay in Qin, which is reasonable.

"Huh!" King Qin Zhao burst out into a burst of laughter, extremely happy, took Lin Xiangru's hand, and said, "Come, set up a banquet, and wash the dust for Lin Xiangru." ”

King Qin Zhao looked at the world. made Shandong's talk change his color. Look at the world. Who can let him personally set up a feast to clean up the wind and dust? Even Fan Sui, the prime minister he trusted, did not have this honor. Think about it at the beginning, when Fan Sui first came to the Qin State, he lived in the snail for more than a year, the inventory cost was exhausted, he was very poor, and he almost became the second Su Qin, and he already wanted to open the Qin State.

Until then, it can be like an honor. There is only Le Yi who is a great talent.

This is another amazing move, which makes Lin Xiangru particularly moved.

After the banquet was set, Qin Zhaowang's special Ling Lin Xiangru sat beside him, and he also helped Lin Xiangru to sit down, what a privilege this was, and it moved Lin Xiangru for a while.

Thinking about what happened to him, although he was once very appreciated by King Zhao, however, King Zhao did not trust him very much, otherwise. He will not be dismissed. And King Qin Zhao's courtesy to him far exceeded King Zhao's courtesy to him. This made Lin Xiangru unmoved.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, King Qin Zhao put down the wine and said to Lin Xiangru with a smile: "Lin Qing, you brought the He clan to Qin, do you know the meaning of the widow?" ”

"The minister thinks that the king wants to make another instrument to pass on the country." Lin Xiangzhong is not a talented person, and he broke through the intention of King Qin Zhao, and said: "Jiuding has been lost, and there is no trace of it, if Qin wants to take the world, it is necessary to gather people's hopes and collect people's hearts, and this instrument of passing on the country is the most important thing." ”

"Ahh King Qin Zhao tapped his hands lightly, and said with great appreciation: "Without the weapon of the country, although Qin can take the world, the price is much greater." If there is a national instrument that is recognized by the world, the world will be much smoother. ”

With the strong strength of the Qin State, even if there is no heirloom holy weapon, the Qin State can still take the world. However, this will give rise to a lot of incidents and will pay a lot of price. If there is a tool that can be recognized by the whole world, this reunification will be much smoother, and it will pay a lot less price.

It is precisely because of this that it has become a top priority to make another instrument to pass on the country.

"Lin Qing, what do you think should be made of?" King Qin Zhao asked again.

"You can make a jade seal." Lin Xiangru groaned slightly.

"It's like Lin Xiang, this insight is not trivial." Qin Yiren listened to it in his ears and greatly appreciated it.

Historically, Qin Shi Huang took and made the jade seal of the country, which has always been the holy weapon of the past dynasties, and its weight is no worse than Jiuding.

"Very good! Very good! King Qin Zhao was greatly appreciative, and asked Fan Sui and them, "What do you think?" ”

"Lin Xiangru's words are extremely true." Fan Sui was the first to express his support.

Then Le Yi, Qin Yiren, and Bai Qi agreed, and the matter was decided.

"Lin Qing, what do you think is appropriate to write on the jade seal?" King Qin Zhao asked expectantly.

"Commanded by heaven." Lin Xiangru thought for a while.

"Good!" King Qin Zhao was very satisfied with this statement and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?" ”

"If Daqin wants to go down in one day, he must go up to the heart of heaven and obey the will of the people, this 'ordered by heaven' is very good, very good, and the ministers have no objections." Fan Sui groaned slightly and expressed his support.

Le Yi and Bai Qi are also very much in favor of these four words.

Only Qin Yiren did not express his position, and King Qin Zhao asked, "Yiren, what do you think?" ”

"Just add four more words......" Before Qin Yiren finished his sentence, King Qin Zhao asked impatiently: "Which four words?" ”

"Longevity and longevity!" Qin Yidao.

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity? Good! Pick! A cheer rang out, and the crowd was appreciative.

After Qin Yiren's addition, the words on the jade seal of the country are perfect.

Historically, the inscription on the jade seal of the country is the eight characters of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", which has been deeply appreciated by future generations.

"Since it has been agreed, Zhuqing will write it, and whoever writes it well will leave a word on the jade seal of the country." King Qin Zhao's eyes were hot, and he didn't want to put it aside for a moment.

If it weren't for the instrument of inheritance, he would have been proclaimed emperor a long time ago. Now, everything is ready, but the instrument of the country is missing.

He's Bi is a treasure of heaven and earth, the only one in the world, if it can be made into a national heirloom, it must be passed on to future generations. What a glory is it to inscribe on the jade seal of the country?

Even with the calm mentality of Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Le Yi, Lin Xiangru, Xunzi, and Gongsun Longzi, they were also excited, and they all rolled up their sleeves and wanted to inscribe.

King Qin Zhao looked at Bai Qi, who was about to move, and said with a smile: "General, if you write an inscription, will you have the aura of a sword?" ”

"Haha!" It was a joke, and everyone laughed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is just happy to see the hunt." Bai Qi looked at Fan Sui, Le Yi, Lin Xiangru, Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi, and knew that this could not be his share.

Speaking of fighting. Bai Qi is top notch. Speaking of such dancing and ink things. Fan Sui and they are first-class, and Bai Qi is far inferior.

Ordered someone to send parchment paper and pen and ink, King Qin Zhao first picked up the pen in his hand, full of thick ink, and wrote down the eight characters of "Ordered by the sky, both by Yongchang", the strength is very strong, but the words are too hard. It is not suitable for the inscription on the jade seal of the country, King Qin Zhao took a look, put down the pen, and sighed slightly.

If he can inscribe on the jade seal of the country, then his life will be more perfect, his words are not suitable, and he will not be able to sigh.

Fan Sui's second inscription, his handwriting is also very good, without the hardness of King Qin Zhao's words, and a little softer. It's just that it's still a fly in the ointment, and it can't be inscribed on the jade seal of the country.

Le Yi wrote the third. His words are still good, but everyone is still not satisfied, and there is a lack of an inexplicable quality, so they have to give up.

Bai Qi also tried it, his words were too hard, and he had the air of a sword, needless to say, the worst one.

Qin Yiren also showed his hand, which was better than Bai Qi's words, but it was far from being comparable to Fan Sui and Le Yi's words, no play.

Huang Shigong tried it, and the words are good, but he lacks that kind of charm.

There are only Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi left, these two are the masters of the academic world, their words are excellent, and everyone is full of confidence in them. Xunzi first calmed down and adjusted his mentality, and then he waved his wrist and wrote down the eight characters, which attracted a lot of applause from everyone.

Gongsun Longzi was not willing to be left behind, and immediately wrote down eight characters, which attracted a lot of applause.

"Good word! Good word! Everyone admired the pen and ink of Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi and praised them.

"Well, the words of the two are good words, and they can be said to be impeccable, but they always make people feel that they can't explain it, and they always feel that something is missing, but they can't tell what is missing." King Qin Zhao's white eyebrows tightened, and he commented.

These words won the approval of Qin Yiren, Fan Sui, Le Yi, and Lin Xiangru.

Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi are worthy of everyone, this handwriting is very beautiful, it can be said to be perfect, and it is impeccable. It's just that, in terms of feelings, there is something missing, something that makes people inexplicable.

If it weren't for the inscription on the jade seal of the country, the words of the two of them would definitely be enough. The problem is that this is to be inscribed on the jade seal of the country, and it is necessary to pursue "perfection", and there can be no shortcomings, let alone this feeling.

"Do you really want Li Si to write it?" Qin Yiren looked at the words of the two of them, and was a little stunned.

Historically, the inscription on the jade seal of the country was inscribed by Li Si, which is not unreasonable. In the reign of Qin Shi Huang, there were many talents, and Li Si finally inscribed the jade seal of the country, because Li Si's small seal was the most suitable.

"This ......" King Qin Zhao stroked his forehead, a little annoyed, and said, "How is this good?" ”

Now that He's Bi is there, the words to be inscribed are also available, and even the skilled craftsmen are ready, so they are about to write this link, and King Qin Zhao is really a little annoyed.

This question really stumped Fan Sui, Le Yi, and Lin Xiangru, you look at me, I look at you, speechless.

The inscription on the jade seal of the country not only requires the word to be good, but also needs a suitable charm, which is too embarrassing. If you only say that the words are good, Fan Sui, Le Yi, Lin Xiangru, Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi all meet the requirements, but they lack a kind of charm that the jade seal needs to pass on the country.

The requirements for this kind of verve are too high, unimaginably high, where to find such a person?

"Father, aren't there still Han Fei, Li Si, and Cai Ze? Why don't you summon it and try it. "Qin Yidao.

"Oh. Reasonable. King Qin Zhao was stunned and immediately passed the decree.

Han Fei, Li Si and Cai Ze rushed over, and the three of them wrote down these eight characters with a wave of their wives. Then, King Qin Zhao and the others began to comment, Han Fei's words were a little cold, similar to his character. Cai Ze's words are a bit loose and can't be used.

Only Li Si's small seal is self-contained, and the charm is natural, and everyone looks at it, their eyes light up, and they praise in unison: "Good words!" Good word! ”

"How?" King Qin Zhao glanced at Li Si in surprise and asked everyone.

"Shen Yun is natural, who else is there to do this?" Fan Sui was the first to agree.

"I'm for it!" Le Yi, Lin Xiangru, Bai Qi, Huang Shigong, Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi agreed in unison.

"That's him." King Qin Zhao was determined to write.

Qin Yiren looked at Li Si, and said with some emotion: "The jade seal of the country in history was inscribed by Li Si, and now it is still inscribed by him, not fate, it is Li Si's little seal that is amazing." ”

Li Si's small seal is a unique one in the ages. From the Qin Dynasty to the present, there are many great calligraphers in Chinese history, but when it comes to small seals, there are really few people who can compare to Li Si.

"Use mine?" Li Si looked shocked and incredulous.

At this time, Li Si was just a posterity, there were more people who were more powerful than him, and he even used his inscription, he just never dreamed of it. (To be continued......)
