Chapter 097: The Great Sage Counts
Just as Qingji was about to leave the Zhaoxian Pavilion and return to the Wu Palace, he saw Dazai Jiza hurrying over.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
"King, happy event, happy event!"
Ji Za's face could not hide the look of joy.
This made Qingji can't help but be curious, there are not many things that can make Ji Za so happy!
"What's the joy?"
"The old minister has found a great sage for the king, how can it not be a happy event?"
"Daehyun?"
"Exactly. Does the king know Xin Wenzi? ”
“……”
Qingji shook his head, indicating that he did not know the so-called Xin Wenzi.
Whether it was Qingji's original memory or an overview of history, he didn't know anything about Xin Wenzi!
Seeing this, Ji Za was not depressed, but smiled and said, "It is not surprising that the king does not know Xin Wenzi. Xin Wenzi is Xin Yu, the word Wenzi, also known as Ji Ni, Ji Yan, Ji Ran, and the fisherman! ”
"Xin Wenzi is erudite and knowledgeable, and knows everything about astronomy and geography. Because of his upright conduct and love of mountains and rivers, he often travels by boat, traveling in mountains, seas and lakes. ”
"And he refused to take the initiative to lobby and recommend himself to the princes, so although Xin Wenzi was the crown of the world, he was not known to the world!"
"Lao Chen had a relationship with Xin Wenzi, and once talked about the way of governing the country, and found that he really has the talent of Wang Zuo, and his concept of governing the country should be very suitable for the national conditions of my Wu country."
Ji Ran?
Qingji grasped the point.
For Xin Wenzi, he naturally hadn't heard of it.
But Ji Ran, a historical figure, Qing Ji knows a little!
In history, there are three uniques of Han Xing, Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin are praised by history, and King Goujian of Yue has "ten years of life and gathering, ten years of lessons", and there are also three uniques, namely Wen Chong, Fan Li and Ji Ran.
In the Wu-Yue conflict, Wen directly managed the government affairs of the Yue State, and Fan Li assisted Gou Jian with military assistance.
Ji Ran is different from Wen and Fan Li, his main contribution is in the economy!
Qingji vaguely remembers that Ji Ran is very good at studying the strategy of governing the country, and is good at talking about the strategy of governing the country from the perspective of economics.
According to historical records, Ji Ran traveled south to Yueguo, and the doctor Fan Li was surprised by his talent and became a teacher.
Ji Ran taught Fan Li seven strategies, Fan Li assisted King Goujian, and only used five of them to eliminate the powerful Wu State!
Twenty years ago, the king of Yue, Goujian, was sent by Wu Wangfu to break through the Yue Duji, and then surrendered, and followed the state of Wu, and served the "shame of the Huiji" of the king of Wu.
Moreover, Ji Ran's concept of governing the country should belong to the category of Huang Lao's art of Taoism.
Ji Ran is also proficient in the art of face-to-face, when Fan Li was about to recommend him to Gou Jian, Ji Ran said: King Yue is a man, with a long-necked beak, you can share hardships with you, not with common prosperity!
Fan Li listened, and later really retreated bravely after destroying Wu, leaving a sentence of "all the birds, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook".
"Where is Ji Ran now?"
"Back to the king, the old minister has found out that Xin Wenzi is now temporarily living at the foot of Gusu Mountain. The king might as well choose a minister, or let the old minister go in person to persuade Xin Wenzi Shiwu! ”
"The widow can go to the house."
In order to win the great sage, Qingji doesn't mind breaking the corporal!
After a short time, Qingji took Xiong Zidan, Heifu and a group of guards to Gusu Mountain, and after asking the way, he found Ji Ran's residence along the sheep intestine trail and between a green water and green mountains.
Ji Ran is worthy of being a travel expert, and life is extraordinarily emotional.
Three low-slung thatched huts sit at the foot of the hill, surrounded by rudimentary fence walls, lush with lush vegetation and a waterfall cascading down to form a crystal clear pool.
This situation and this scene can't help but make people feel refreshed!
The ancient masters really liked to live in seclusion in such a place.
Qingji couldn't help but scold in his heart.
"Dare to ask, this is Mr. Xin Wenzi's residence?"
After knocking on the door, I saw a young man in plain clothes come out, and without waiting for Qingji to speak, Xiong Zidan, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked.
"Exactly. This is the new home of my husband Xin Wenzi who has not long moved to the house, dare to ask what it is? ”
Qingji replied: "I told Mr. Wenzi that I would say that Qingji would come to visit and want to see Mr. Wenzi to discuss." ”
"Ahh Celebrate...... But King Wu? ”
The boy couldn't help but be surprised.
Qingji bowed slightly, without denying it!
The young man hurriedly saluted and said, "The villain sees King Wu." King Wu, to be honest, my husband had already gone out by boat yesterday and traveled to the five lakes, and he was not in the middle at this time! ”
So unfortunate?
Qingji was quite hesitant in his heart.
"I wonder when Mr. Fumiko will return?"
"Back to King Wu, it's hard to say. My husband places his affection on the mountains and rivers, and sometimes goes out for as short as three or five days, as long as one or two months, and so on. ”
Hearing this, Qingji could only shake his head regretfully and said, "If Mr. Wenzi comes back, I will bother the little brother to inform me." Another day, the widow will visit again! ”
"The villain should obey his fate."
Knowing that the search was fruitless, Qingji left Gusu Mountain with his group and returned to the palace of King Wu.
……
"Xuan, the prince of Chu State Shen Jin-"
Wu Palace, the main hall.
The temple people standing on the side of the majestic platform shouted loudly, and then progressed layer by layer, and the sound of the trumpet almost spread throughout the front hall of the Wu Palace!
Gongzi Shen (Zixi), who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, immediately entered the main hall under the guidance of a temple person.
Zixi, who was in the year of his establishment, did not squint, and after arriving under the majesty's platform, he saluted Qingji without humility or arrogance: "Foreign minister Xiong Shen, see King Wu!" Wan Wan of King Wu! ”
"Excuse me."
It is not unreasonable for Zixi to call Qingji the king of Wu.
According to the sub-feudal system of the Zhou royal family, the titles of Chu and Wu are viscounts, the most inferior!
However, for example, the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu and Yue, which live in a remote corner, are located in the south, and they have long stopped worshipping Zhou Tianzi and disobeyed the king, so they have established themselves as kings.
Zixi has a request for others, so in order to show respect, it is understandable to call Qingji "King Wu".
"Shen Gongzi, you came just in time."
Qing Ji said with a smile: "I, the monarch and minister of Wu State, am discussing the matter of increasing troops to Shudi, so Shen Gongzi might as well sit on the side and listen, how about it?" ”
King Wu laughed.
Zixi knew that Qingji was giving himself a dismount, but he didn't dare to be angry, so he could only say solemnly: "King Wu, don't hide it, the foreign minister is here for the diplomatic relations between Chu and Wu!" ”
"Today, the two armies of Chu and Wu are in a stalemate on the front line of Qian and Shu, and they are useless in the country, and they are here by the orders of the king.
Hearing this, Qingji just smiled and groaned, but did not speak.
The pawn had to stand up and said indignantly: "King, you must not make peace with the Chu people!" ”
"The state of Chu is treacherous, don't be gullible, the last time it signed a non-aggression pact with my Wu country, it turned around and attacked Wu at every turn. Outrageous? ”
"The minister asks the king to send reinforcements and pour the country's troops to defeat Chu, and be ashamed!"
