Chapter 172: Opposition
Since it is going to form an alliance with Han Zhao, Zhao State will first rule it out.
Chu has always had a good relationship with the Qi State, the land area is the first of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, rich in products, strong national strength, although the politics are rotten, the national politics are controlled by the old aristocratic forces, but in the end it is also a big country with a million, its national strength even exceeds the Qi State, Tian Dan is only afraid that his head will be kicked by a donkey will go to the behemoth of Chu State for no reason.
Moreover, from the perspective of geographical factors, if you want to be difficult with the Chu State, then it is the Wei State that should ally more, so the Chu State is also excluded.
Then in the end, the only thing left is the poor little Weiguo who is wrapped in it by Qi Wei!
The land area of the country is simply small and pitiful, and the strength is low, and it is no problem for the country of Qi to eat the country. The only possible problem is that Wei also covets the Wei state. In this way, Han Zhao was sent to seek allies to jointly contain Wei and avoid a greater conflict. This whole line of logic is fully established!
Lu Yunzhou nodded secretly, thinking to himself that it is no wonder that most of the famous politicians and generals like to study the map, just because the information that can be revealed on the map is too rich!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but be stunned again, since the end of the last family meeting, he had been thinking about one thing, but he couldn't figure it out.
Can this matter also be pondered from the perspective of geographical factors?
Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but put his eyes on the location of Lu Guo on the map.
"Ahem......"
As soon as some thoughts appeared in Lu Yunzhou's heart, he was interrupted by a cough from behind.
Lu Yunzhou looked back and saw Qi Min standing behind him, with a sense of relief in his eyes.
"The boy has seen his father!"
Lu Yunzhou hurriedly got up and said respectfully.
Qi Min nodded, and said with certainty: "As an envoy, understanding the general trend of the world can be described as a basic skill, and only by knowing the interests between countries can we grasp the pulse of each country." Ordinary emissaries need to know what the ruler of the country to which he is traveling needs and what he rejects. But the wise messenger will guide the ruler of this country with clever words, so that he will deeply believe what he should need and what he should discard! ”
Lu Yunzhou thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, father, the child has been taught!" ”
Qi Min nodded with satisfaction, walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and motioned for Lu Yunzhou to sit down as well.
"It's a good habit to look at the map, keep it up!"
"Yes, Father!"
Qi Min said some things to pay attention to during the mission, and said: "The country you want to send this time should be one of the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Chu. Where to go now, the father is not clear, and he has to wait for Tian Xiang's final decision. But all the circumstances concerning these three countries must be well prepared during this time! ”
Han, Zhao, and Chu were all adjacent to Wei.
It seems that the goal of this envoy should be to contain the Wei State!
In this way, Qi Min should have already known that Tian Dan had decided to crusade against the country!
Lu Yunzhou thought secretly in his heart, nodded and said, "I understand, father!" ”
Qi Min waved his hand and began to drive people away: "Okay, you go!" ”
Lu Yunzhou was about to stand up, when he suddenly thought of the imperial examination system, and before he could communicate with Qi Min, he sat down again and began to play the draft, thinking about what to say in order to make Qi Min more acceptable.
"What's wrong? Anything else? ”
Qi Min was about to start processing the official documents, and when he saw Lu Yunzhou's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he couldn't help frowning.
"Yes, Father, there's one thing I think I should tell you!"
Lu Yunzhou said with some apprehension, he couldn't be sure what kind of reaction Qi Min would have after hearing that he had proposed the imperial examination system to Tian Dan on his own initiative.
But he thought that no matter how many conversation skills a messenger needs to master, when dealing with relatives, perhaps no matter how many clever skills there are, it is not as important as returning to honesty!
At least Lu Yunzhou's ultimate goal of making the Qi Kingdom strong is to save this family.
Qi Min squinted at Lu Yunzhou for a moment, put down the official document in his hand, and nodded, "Say it." ”
Lu Yunzhou talked in detail about the imperial examination system negotiated with Tian Dan, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Min with some apprehension.
"Hmmm......"
saw Qi Min frowning and fell into deep thought.
Under Lu Yunzhou's expectant and anxious gaze, time passed little by little, and the atmosphere in the study fell into a suffocating silence, and only the sound of "ticking" and "ticking" in the corner could be heard.
"I have to say...... Although you are my son, you really surprise me with your boldness......"
For a long time, Qi Min looked at Lu Yunzhou with a faint gaze.
"Father's ......"
Lu Yunzhou's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed his saliva.
Qi Min raised his hand and stopped Lu Yunzhou, he said in a deep voice: "Do you know that when you are really above the Great Dynasty and put forward the imperial examination system, you and the Qi family will become the common enemies of all the noble families in the Qi country!" ”
Lu Yunzhou exhaled sharply, and his gaze regained his perseverance and self-confidence: "But we will also gain the support of all the ordinary people, talents from poor families, and even poor scholars in the world!" ”
Qi Min pointed his finger at the bookcase, and made a "tuk-tuk" sound, and he said noncommittally: "However, the premise of all this is that the imperial examination system can finally be implemented smoothly and for a long time in Qi State!" ”
"Father, you don't agree?"
Lu Yunzhou took a deep breath and looked at Qi Min with some disappointment.
Qi Min's gaze was as sharp as a sword, and he said, "Of course I don't agree, you know it very well in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have proposed it directly to Tian Xiang without consulting me!" ”
Lu Yunzhou's hand under the bookcase grabbed his shirt suddenly, and what he was most worried about still happened.
Qi Min was a little disappointed and said: "I'm not denying the imperial examination system itself, it's just that you are too bold, this is a gambler's behavior!" Do you know that once this matter fails, Tian Xiang will not catch you! Even...... If Tian Xiang was deceiving you from the beginning, if he turned around and sold you after you raised this matter in public, then the entire Qi country would no longer have a place for you from now on! You tell me, do you want to be Kongqiu, or Meng Ke, or ...... Wu Qi! ”
Confucius and Mencius traveled all their lives to various countries to promote their own ideas of governance, but they were depressed.
Wu Qi's reforms in the state of Chu harmed the interests of the nobles, and after the death of the king of Chu Mourning, his fate was - he was attacked by the angry nobles and shot to death by arrows!
"Kid, stop it! You are not afraid of being burned to death? ”
Qi Min raised his big hand suddenly, and slammed it on the bookcase, shaking the lamp on the case into a spark.
