Seeing that Xun Shen and Wei Yizhi were a little distracted, Yin Cheng thoughtfully gave them time to react.

I don't know how long it took for the two of them to come back to their senses, only to hear Yin Ji say slowly: "I know that everyone in the world says that the relocation of the Zhao Kingdom and the Liang nobles all came to Lulong City, which is too unkind. The eldest brother didn't bother to explain, and I couldn't tell everyone such an important thing. ”

That's a bit of a trick to say.

Even if there is no worry about a strong enemy on his side, Yin Changying will definitely move the nobles of the Six Kingdoms here, but it will not be so desperate.

But he didn't bother to explain that it was true, and the reason why Yin Cheng agreed to such an excessive policy was exactly what she had just said.

She didn't know when the enemy would come, but she didn't want the rear to be uneven when the war began.

If the nobles of the six countries all stay in the local area, as soon as the five emperors come, this group of guys will bow their heads, and half of the world will be lost, what else is there to fight?

The population and heritage of the Six Kingdoms alone, once they get more advanced technology, can drag the Zhao Kingdom to death, not to mention dealing with the Five Emperors.

But she can't tell anyone else these things.

Once it is said, before the enemy comes, half of his own people will be scared to death, which is the best result that can already be expected.

If she hadn't been sure that Xun Shen and Wei Yizhi were both heroes in the world and had a strong ability to accept them, she wouldn't have trembled with fear when she heard that the Five Emperors were still alive, and she wouldn't have said this to the two of them, at least not to Xun Shen.

Xun Shen looked at the statue in a daze, imagining the appearance of the body a thousand times, but found that he couldn't think of what a huge monster it was.

Wei Yizhi was silent.

He knew why Yin Ji said this to him.

From the moment he heard that "Changhuan was made into a ghost after his death", he understood.

Zhao Guo will never let go of such a strong "witch" as him, if he does not want to live to serve Zhao Guo, with the character of King Zhao, he will definitely make him a ghost.

This is why Yin Cheng invited them to Zhongtiantai and did not shy away from Xun Shen.

For Wei Yizhi, he can only become a "witch", and he has no choice at all, so naturally there is no need to hide it.

Yin Ji was only worried about Wei Ping because he was afraid that Wei Ping would know about this in advance and force Wei Yizhi to swear, such as helping King Wei restore the country after becoming a witch, so he hid it first.

It can be seen that for "witches", the oath is also a very important part, and it cannot be said nonsense.

And Yin Ji also gave a reason that Wei Yizhi couldn't refuse at all.

That's right, you don't want to serve King Wei, and you don't want to serve King Zhao, but are you willing to do your part for the common people?

Demons and ghosts regard human beings as animals and animals, and the Five Emperors, who have lived for tens of millions of years, can they really be better?

Wei Yizhi hoped in his heart that the ancestors were kind, had become stars in the sky, gods of the ages, and were willing to protect their descendants.

But he also knew in his heart that he couldn't pin his safety on the conscience of the strong.

Wei Guo repeatedly begged for mercy from Zhaoguo and bowed his head to the vassals, but what was the result?

Isn't it every day that cities are conquered, and even the country is destroyed?

If......

Just thinking about a possibility, Wei Yizhi shuddered.

When the country is dead, he can go to other countries; When the Six Kingdoms are dead, he can also hide in the world; But what if the world dies and all humans become domestic animals? Where else could he go?

There is no need to hesitate at all, Wei Yizhi has already made up his mind.

Without waiting for him to say it, Yin Ji seemed to hear his heart, and said politely: "I have obtained the consent of the eldest brother, and I hope that Mr. Xun can be a middle-aged person, and ask me to tell Mr. Wei that I want to accept Wei Gongzi as a disciple." ”

Xun Shen did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

"The apprenticeship ceremony will take place in three days." Yin Ji said, "At that time, Shaofu and Zhongtiantai will have someone in charge of all matters, and I hope the two of you can rest assured." ”

Wei Yizhi thought for a moment before asking, "Can I go back in the past three days?" ”

Yin Cheng said calmly: "Naturally, you can." ”

"That being the case, Yi Zhi retired."

Xun Shen was a little surprised.

In his opinion, it was the best thing for Wei Yizhi not to go back, otherwise how could he explain the whole thing? How do you deal with the demands of your family?

But since Wei Yizhi insisted on going home, Yin Shen was also willing to let him go, and Xun Shen, as an outsider, was not good at interfering, so he could only retire with him.

When the two of them returned to the carriage, Xun Shen suddenly spoke: "Have you met Guowu?" ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. Xun." Wei Yizhi had no need to hide it, "Five days ago, Lord Guowu noticed that I was about to lose control, and specially invited me to meet, hoping that I could become a 'witch'. ”

Even if he didn't say the result, Xun Shen could guess that Wei Yizhi refused.

This world-famous sage was silent for a long time before he said: "My mentor Jizi has traveled to the Seven Kingdoms, and has the highest evaluation of Zhaoguo, saying that the towns and villages of Zhaoguo are in order, the people are brave and shameful in fighting privately, and the national strength is thriving. But he chose to stay in Zhuguo in his old age and buried his bones in him, do you know why? ”

Wei Yizhi is not good at speculating about other teachers, so he can only say a reason that everyone knows: "Mr. Jizi cultivates both Confucianism and law, but the Confucianism of Zhaoguo and the law of Zhaoguo are far from what Mr. thinks in his heart." ”

This is a universally accepted concept.

Of course, Zhaoguo also has Confucian disciples, but it belongs to the most shameless of the eight branches of Confucianism, and it is more only the king than the Legalists.

As for the Legalists, in fact, the difference in the core is not very big, at least the two apprentices taught by Jizi, one Xun Shen and one Yang Yuan, are important figures in Zhaoguo.

Xun Shen shook his head and said slowly: "The teacher only informed me of this matter, if it weren't for ......."

He didn't know what to think, sighed, didn't continue, just used a slightly melancholy attitude, and confided the truth to Wei Yizhi that everyone didn't know: "The reason why the teacher didn't stay in Zhaoguo is because Zhaoguo doesn't need a minister, and it doesn't need a sage. ”

What a sad thing to do!

The dream of all ministers and virtuous ministers is nothing more than "to the king and the king", and through their own efforts and influence, the king will become more virtuous.

But Zhaoguo doesn't need it.

The kings of the Zhao Kingdom were typical of the supremacy of interests, they did not listen to the opinion of a particular person, but only the right opinion.

Even if it is vile and shameless, dirty and indecent, as long as it is useful to the state, it can be rewarded and executed.

Therefore, the court of Zhaoguo is full of villains, lobbyists, and utilitarians.

If the king is deceived and let these people mix around, it is just a matter of letting these people around, but the kings of Zhao in the past dynasties know very well that many of the capable ministers around him are villains, and they use them as villains.

"Zhaoguo employs people, only talents, not virtues." Xun Shen asked, "Do you know why the teacher is disgusted with this?" ”

Wei Yizhi pondered for a moment before he said: "Officials take virtue, even if the king is mediocre, he can govern one side without major chaos; Meritocracy, regardless of morality. If the king is in control, the country will become richer and stronger. If the king is now mediocre, even if it is a prosperous power, the decline will be within one or two decades. ”
