I saw King Qin Zhao's big sleeves fluttering, and his whole face was radiant, and he walked as if he was floating.

You know, this year's winter dynasty will be very different from the past. Now, the road to Qin's eastward expansion has been opened, and the land of Shandong is no longer able to resist the Qin army, so it only needs Qin's eastward expansion, not to mention dominating the world, at least it is not a problem to lay down half of the country.

This is the first time in a hundred years of the Warring States Period, and it is the goal of the Qin State, can King Qin Zhao not be happy?

Fan Sui, Sima Terrier, Datian Ling, Tingwei and other important ministers followed King Qin Zhao, all of them with joy on their faces, they knew very well that the advantageous position of the Qin State was now a good opportunity to make contributions, so they couldn't help but dislike it.

"Hmm." Qin Yiren found that Ying Xuan was also following behind King Qin Zhao, and raised his chin at Qin Yiren, as if to say that I have seen it, I am more favored by the king than you.

"A superficial person." Qin Yiren muttered in his heart and ignored him.

Qin Yiren has a very bad impression of Ying Xuan, this is a superficial person, and he has ambitions, and he wants to get involved in the throne of King Qin, but he is just a great talent.

"Hmm." King Qin Zhao's eyes swept over the ministers, fell on Bai Qi's body, raised his snow-white eyebrows, immediately stopped, and asked, "Bai Qi, are you well?" ”

"Your Excellency, the minister's illness has improved greatly." Bai Qi hurriedly replied.

"Good! Good! Good! King Qin Zhao used three "good" words in a row to express his joy.

The importance of Bai Qi does not need to be said, as long as he can go on the expedition, it will be more successful to advance eastward in the coming year. Although King Qin Zhao already knew that Bai Qi's condition had improved, he was also happy at this time.

After praising it, King Qin Zhao continued to walk towards his throne. Come to the throne. First stand still. Then take a seat.

Fan Sui, Sima Terrier, Tingwei, Datian Ling and Ying Xuan, a total of dozens of ministers, all found their seats and sat down.

Ying Xuan sat down, raised his chin again at Qin Yiren, and smiled proudly.

Qin Yiren sat at the bottom, and although Ying Xuan's seat was not very far forward or back, in the middle, it was much higher than Qin Yiren's last seat. He couldn't help but be pleased.

"Do you think that because you are higher than me, you have more weight than me? You're wrong! Couldn't be more wrong! Of course, Qin Yiren understood the reason why King Qin Zhao wanted him to sit on the last throne.

First, because Qin Yiren does not have an official position, it is already an exception to let Qin Yiren sit in the last seat.

The second is because Qin Yiren is a junior and has to respect his elders. Among the ministers who can sit in the position of important ministers, who is not a high-ranking minister? If Qin Yiren sat in front of them, it would be rude.

Qin Yiren ignored it, took a closer look, and found that there were still four empty seats, and he was a little suspicious in his heart: "Whose is this?" ”

"The prince hasn't come yet." Qin Yiren found that Winning Zhu was not there.

The Winter Festival is too important. Even if the body of the winning pillar is too poor, you have to participate. Qin Yiren thought with some curiosity: "What did he do?" ”

"See your lord!" The ministers saluted King Qin Zhao.

Thousands of people saluted, and the voice was loud, like a flood bell and a big Lu, shocking people's eardrums, almost lifting the roof of the temple away.

"Excuse me." King Qin Zhao waved his hand.

"Thank you." The ministers thanked him, sat down, and looked at King Qin Zhao with blank eyes, waiting for his instructions.

However, King Qin Zhao did not give instructions, but stared at the entrance of the hall with a pair of eyes, as if he was waiting for someone. The ministers were a little curious, turned their heads to look, and saw that the entrance of the hall was empty, and there was no ghost.

However, the ministers did not speak, just waited. In the court of the Qin State, no one dared to talk nonsense, because the court of the Qin State was purged.

It didn't take long to see the prince Yingzhu appear at the door of the palace, panting and sweating on his forehead.

There were three other people who came with the crown prince to win the pillar, and Qin Yiren looked at it, all of them were old acquaintances: Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi and Mrs. Xu!

"Xunzi!"

"Gongsun Longzi!"

"Mrs. Xu!"

The ministers exclaimed, and they all looked surprised.

Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi are the leaders of the academic community, the two banners of the academic community, and their fame moves the world.

Mrs. Xu was the most famous sword-forging master at that time, and there were many people who wanted to see him, but it was a great honor to meet Mrs. Xu, and the ministers could not be shocked?

What surprised the ministers even more was that they saw King Qin Zhao stand up, descend to greet him, with a smile on his face, and said, "Yingji has seen three. ”

He did not call himself a "widow", but called himself by his own name, which is the weight of the three people.

Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi are masters of the academic world, and Madame Xu is a famous swordsmith and deserves such courtesy.

"This ......" Xun Zihe, Gongsun Longzi and Mrs. Xu obviously didn't expect King Qin Zhao to greet them with such a grand etiquette, they were stunned for a moment, then excited, and hurriedly said: "I've seen King Qin." "Extremely respectful.

King Qin Zhao was the most powerful monarch in the world at that time, he stomped his feet, the earth would shake, he treated himself so politely, Xunzi of course they could not be rude.

"Three gentlemen, please!" King Qin Zhao invited sideways.

"King Qin, please!" Xunzi and the three of them were busy.

Under the guidance of King Qin Zhao, the three of them came to the four empty seats, and King Qin Zhao said, "Three, please take a seat." ”

Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi and Mrs. Xu walked straight to the front of the three empty seats and set aside the top empty seats. This is the position of the head, and it should be left to the crown prince to win the pillar.

King Qin Zhao stopped him and said, "Xunzi, please sit here." "Pointing to the first place.

"This ...... Don't dare to be. Xunzi hurriedly shirked.

Xunzi is a famous academic master in the world, he knows books and etiquette, and of course he will not do such a rude thing as sitting on the top.

"It's a great honor for the three to be able to enter Qin, and the three of them should sit above the prince." King Qin Zhao couldn't help but say, and helped Xunzi to sit on the top seat. Then he helped Gongsun Longzi to sit next to Xunzi, and then helped Mrs. Xu to sit next to Gongsun Longzi.

The seats of the three of them were actually above the crown prince's winning pillar, and King Qin Zhao personally supported each other, which made the three of them proud. Excitement again. They are able to resist the princes. You can get the courtesy of the princes. There is no such grand courtesy, this is the first time they have been so courteous in their lives, or they can't be excited.

"Prince, you sit here and accompany the three gentlemen." King Qin Zhao commanded.

"No!" Ying Zhu was respectful, responded, and sat down busily to accompany Xunzi and the three of them.

Only then did King Qin Zhao turn around. Walk towards your throne. Before coming to the throne, he didn't take his seat immediately, his eyes stayed on Qin Yiren for a while, with a smile on his face, the meaning couldn't be clearer, it was Qin Yiren's work to invite Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi and Mrs. Xu to Qin.

These three people are all famous all over the world, and there are many people who want to invite them, but they can't succeed. Among them, the most important for the Qin State was Mrs. Xu. King Qin Zhao once sent someone to invite, but he refused. Qin Yiren invited him to Qin State, and it would be impossible for King Qin Zhao not to appreciate Qin Yiren.

King Qin Zhao sat down and said, "Today is the annual Winter Dynasty Meeting, if you have any questions, you can speak freely." There can be differences, there can be different opinions, but there can be no different hearts, we must be of the same heart! ”

The Qin State was politically clear, and when it encountered problems, it could speak freely, there could be differences, and there could be different opinions, but it must not allow dissent, that is, "one heart and different conspirators".

There are many Shandong people in these officials, who have been in Qin for some years, and they are well aware of the political style of Qin.

King Qin Zhao waved his right hand to stop the ministers from speaking, and continued: "Here, we must first establish a rule: just talk about things, no nonsense!" You can't flatter even the widow! Remember: Sycophants, be guilty! Captain, you oversee! ”

"No!" Lieutenant Ting immediately received the order.

"Good!" Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi and Mrs. Xu were surprised at first, and then they were amazed, and their hands tapped lightly. At the same time, they are excited.

Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi and Mrs. Xu traveled south and north, and they had a wide range of knowledge, and they had seen a lot of political styles in Shandong, but they had never been as clear as the Qin State, and they couldn't even flatter them.

In the land of Shandong, sycophancy has become the norm, if you don't flatter you, don't want to be promoted, don't want to get a knighthood, don't want to make meritorious contributions. In the Qin State, flattery actually wants to punish crimes, is there anything more touching than this? What could be more exciting?

The Qin State does not listen to sycophants, can the Qin State not be strong?

Among the officials, some did not react, and some were very surprised. Some of them were attending the Winter Pilgrimage for the first time this year, and they were surprised that they did not know the rules of the Winter Pilgrimage.

Those ministers who had already attended the Winter Pilgrimage were not surprised at all.

Qin Yiren was also a little surprised, followed by joy, and secretly praised: "This is a clever trick to put an end to traitors!" Good! ”

Sycophants are guilty, this is indeed a clever way to put an end to traitors, and those who want to get high positions by flattering them have no chance.

"Oh, this is not from the Great Father, but from the time of King Huiwen." Qin Yiren thought of the origin of this matter.

Shandong's scolding of Qin is unreasonable, why is it so scolded? One of the reasons is that Qin Guo doesn't listen to good words, and he can't even say hello, is this still reasonable?

Speaking of which, there is a history. During the reign of King Qin Huiwen, some people wanted to seek a high position by drilling camps, and flattered King Qin Huiwen a lot, saying how he was wise and martial, and how he was a king of three generations...... How nice to listen to and how to brag. At the beginning, King Qin Huiwen ignored him, and this person became even more intense, boasting more and more, and many people followed him to boast.

According to this person's thoughts, such a huge boast, King Qin Huiwen will definitely be happy, and he will definitely reward him with a high official and a generous lord. However, what he didn't expect was that King Qin Huiwen directly ordered him to be arrested and killed.

Then, King Qin Huiwen made a rule: Sycophants should be guilty!

When it came to King Qin Zhao, someone did something similar, and King Qin Zhao still killed this person. Since then, the court of the Qin State has been solemn, and no one dares to be sycophant.

And when this matter spread to Shandong, the people of Shandong scolded Qin for being unkind, people said good things, flattered you, and you still killed people, is there a person like you? (This is a history, but it is too vague and vague for me to write in more detail.) (To be continued.) )
