The middle-aged man's name is Xun Kuang, who was originally from the Zhao Guoyi clan, and moved to Qi with his father when he was a child. Although he has moved, the clan is still in the Yi clan, so every few years Xun Kuang will return to the Yi clan with his father to worship his ancestors. The experience of studying in Qi greatly increased Xun Kuang's knowledge, but the five kingdoms attacked Qi, the king of Qi was defeated and died, and the Qi country was almost destroyed, and Xun Kuang had to go south to Chu in order to enter the country.

In the five years of the Chu State, Xun Kuang worshiped under the Zuotu Huang Xie Sect, made friends with dignitaries, and inspected the customs and human feelings of the Chu State. Unfortunately, the king of Chu had no interest in his statecraft. Five years later, Tiandan returned to Qi, Xun Kuang returned to Qi again, and was appointed as the sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace, but unfortunately the king of Qi said that he was stupid and could not understand Xun Kuang's concept of governing the country. Under such circumstances, Xun Kuang entered South Korea, planning to travel around the world to explain his political ideas.

After learning from the experience of two failures in Chu and Qi, Xun Kuang decided that this time he would still investigate the customs and people of Korea first, and then meet the Korean prince instead of the king of Han. On the one hand, the crown prince has not yet reached the age of establishment, but he is famous, and there is no void under the fame, at least stronger than the two kings of Chu and Qi; The health of the two Han Kings is not as good as before, and the succession of the crown prince is only the situation of the past few years. Instead of convincing King Han first, it is better to persuade the prince directly, and the prince is recruiting talents, and he has the opportunity to go to meet him.

Since he decided to do this, Xun Kuang has been shuttling through the streets and alleys with his students in the next few days, restaurants, tea shops, and they have appeared everywhere. That is, during the visit of Tongguò in the past few days, Xun Kuang was surprised to find that everyone in Xinzheng said that the prince was good. It is understandable that one person and two people say that he is good, but in the past few days, hundreds or thousands of people Xun Kuang has come into contact with have all said that the prince is benevolent, which is a bit abnormal.

Xun Kuang then collected information about Tai Ziran more carefully, and found that Tai Ziran was familiar with military affairs and sympathetic to the people. Whether it is the establishment of the martyrs' shrine, the hero's monument, or the exemption of the newly restored land from taxes for one year, all reveal the style of "peaceful government and love the people", which is deeply consistent with their own ways. Could it be that the prince is the master who has been looking for half his life? Xun Kuang asked himself.

In the past few days when Xun Kuang was running around, the prince was not idle. Supervise the construction speed of stirrups and saddles in the workshop, sit and discuss with Meng Fu and Li Mu, purchase fitness equipment such as horizontal bars and parallel bars for the Yulin Army, and occasionally participate in forced marches

Prince Ran greedily absorbed the knowledge of the future generations in his mind, tying sandbags, standing in queues, group confrontations, mobile red flags, individual skill competitions, and various generous rewards stimulated the enthusiasm of the recruits for training. The sand table, the deduction of troops, and the endless inventions of the prince made Meng Fu and Li Mu breathtaking. A group of recruits who were messy ten days ago finally have the appearance of a strong army.

On this day, the crown prince was discussing political affairs with Fan Sui in the prince's mansion. Fan Sui has now been awarded the position of a doctor, and the prince once asked Han Wang Fan Sui if the reward for such great work was too low. King Han explained with a smile that his merits should not be publicized. Now everyone in South Korea knows that a Wei man "Zhang Lu" was awarded the post of doctor with only three inches of incorruptible tongue. If the reward is repeated, it will be "Mu Xiu is in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", not to mention the blockade that is too high for him all of a sudden, and what will he take to reward him when the prince succeeds to the throne!

For the reward of King Han, Fan Sui is Anzhiruosu. He knows better than anyone that the future of Korea will be Prince Ran's, as long as Prince Ran regards himself as a confidant, glory and wealth are at his fingertips, and there is no need to rush for a while. After talking about politics, Fan Sui took his leave and left. Just when the prince thought that he could take a nap, the prince Zhan Shi Huang Bo walked in.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Someone out there is asking to see you! ”

"Oh? Who is it? The prince asked curiously. If it was a South Korean minister, Huang Bo would definitely directly say who asked to see him. Since I don't say it, most of them are people of insight who come here. After all, ordinary nobodies are generally reported to themselves by Huang Bo after investigation.

"The people who came to Qi are also quite famous", Huang Bo smiled, "It is the former Jixia School Palace sacrificial wine Xun Kuang." ”

"Xun Kuang?" The prince muttered this somewhat familiar name.

"Because he is erudite and talented, people in Qi prefer to call him Xun Qing, Xunzi." Huang Bo added.

"What? Xunzi! Prince Ran's face became excited.

He finally knew why he felt that the name Xun Kuang was very familiar, and the memory of later generations told him that he was the author of "Persuasion"! You can say that you have forgotten the content of "Persuasion", but you will not know what his apprentice says, that is, the famous Li Si and Han Fei. One became the prime minister who assisted Qin Shi Huang in unifying the world, and the other was the master of the ideas of the Warring States Legalists. It's just a pity that he was killed by his peers, and he can't show his talents.

"Hurry up!" The prince said anxiously.

For a teacher who can cultivate such two powerful apprentices, Tai Ziran has been yearning for a long time in his heart. Although Han Fei is only eight years old, it is a good thing that he can be apprenticed earlier!

"Forget it! I'd better go and greet it myself! The next moment, the prince got up and walked outside.

Huang Bo didn't know why Prince Ran attached so much importance to Xun Kuang, who was not very familiar, after all, Prince Ran was still very unfamiliar when he heard Xun Kuang's name just now. With great confusion, Huang Bo hurriedly followed the prince.

At the side door of the Prince's Mansion, Xun Kuang was waiting quietly. He believed that with his reputation, the prince would most likely meet him. And what he needs to do is to persuade Prince Ran to choose his own ideas. Taking advantage of this effort, Xun Kuang carefully sorted out the rhetoric for the next meeting.

After a while, Xun Kuang saw a servant hurrying over with a look on his face, and whispered a few words to the butler not far away. The housekeeper's face, who was originally a little arrogant to himself, immediately changed, and then rushed to Xun Kuang with an extremely enthusiastic attitude, and said: "Please also Xun Qing move, follow me to the middle gate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already waiting there." ”

"What?! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened the middle door to greet me? Xun Kuang was a little stunned, he had a good reputation, but he would not let the prince of a country greet him personally.

Xun Kuang followed the butler of the prince's mansion with some trepidation, not knowing what point he was favored by the prince. But in any case, it is always a good thing that the prince attaches importance to himself. Next to the middle gate, the prince looked at Xun Kuang, who was getting closer and closer, with a spring breeze on his face. I saw that he had a gentle face, forty years old, and looked like a humble gentleman.

"Xun Qing traveled thousands of miles to South Korea, which is really a blessing for South Korea!" The prince took a few steps forward, made a gesture, and took the lead in speaking.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, I am just a Confucian scholar, and I am really afraid to be so valued by the Prince." Where did Xun Kuang dare to accept such a big gift, and flashed aside.

"Xun Qing, please inside!" The crown prince turned sideways to show respect.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please!" Xun Kuang also bowed his head sideways.

Entering the main hall, Xun Kuang found that Prince Ran had already ordered someone to sort out the case, and there were fresh fruits and drinks on it, which showed that Prince Ran attached great importance to himself.

"Xun Qing is a learned person, and he once sacrificed wine for the Jixia School Palace. The wisdom of Mr. is also well heard in Xinzheng. However, Linzi is thousands of miles away from Xinzheng, and I am in the position of the prince, so I dare not leave my post without permission, so I have not been able to see the true face of Mr. Now the wish is fulfilled, and it should be a big white. For Mr. to Korea, I will do it first for respect! The prince raised the wine bottle.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" Xun Kuang raised the wine bottle and drank it all.

"Sir has come from thousands of miles away, and he must have some advice. I would like to hear from you. The prince said sincerely.

(I declare!) This is Warring States Korea, not the country of sticks. Alas! Ask for favorites and clicks! The stirrups are now in the stage of secrecy, and they are only used for military training. ）
