"The widow has given you a hundred gold, so that you may be able to support your mother, and give her medicine and health. In addition......"

Qingji pointed to Gongzi Heng who was standing on the side and said, "In the future, you can be a doorman in Gongzi Heng's mansion, and the widow will not ask how you are treated." ”

"Thank you, King!"

When Bu Shang heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and he was so moved that he knelt on the ground and thanked Qingji with his head on the ground.

Not to mention that he became a guest of Gongzi Heng, this is enough one hundred taels of gold, which is enough for a good merchant to take care of his mother and find a doctor for the latter.

"Stand down."

"No!"

After standing up, Bu Shang slowly waved towards Qingji: "King, in the future, this life of Xiaomin belongs to the king and the country of Wu!" ”

Qingji waved his hand again, and Bu Shang finally left the lobby, and his figure disappeared from the sight of Qingji and Gongzi Heng.

After Bu Shang left, Qingji picked up the essay he had written and handed it to Gongzi Heng to read.

"How?"

"Father, this ......"

Gongzi Heng couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Is this really what Bu Shang thinks?" A mere twelve-year-old boy has such literary brilliance and such talent, which is amazing. ”

"Father, according to the opinion of the son's ministers, the talent of the merchant is enough to be qualified for any county order...... No, it is not a problem to be a county governor and supervise the imperial history. ”

"Why did my father let him go to his son's house as a guest instead of using it?"

Hearing this, Qingji chuckled and said, "Heng'er, you must know that you are talented in literature, but you may not be talented. ”

"Let a warrior who has no experience and only knows how to charge into battle jump up and become a general with 10,000 troops, are you relieved?"

"This ......"

Gongzi Heng didn't dare to speak.

"It's the same way."

Qing Ji said meaningfully: "The widow thinks that the divination merchant is indeed talented, but he is still young and his knowledge is still shallow, so he cannot broaden his knowledge. ”

"With his current age and knowledge, letting him be an official will harm him."

"Heng'er, do you know what it means to raise seedlings?"

"The son doesn't know, and I ask my father to make it clear!"

Qingji shook his head and said: "In the ancient world, there was a farmer who thought that the seedlings he planted were always not tall, so he went to the ground and pulled them up one by one with his hands. ”

Before long, the seedlings withered. It is very rare for people in the world not to make this kind of mistake of pulling out seedlings and promoting growth. ”

"Those who think it's useless to take care of crops and don't care about them are lazy people who only grow crops and don't weed."

"Wishful thinking to help the crops grow, it is this kind of person who pulls out the seedlings and helps them, not only does not benefit them, but kills them......"

"Do you know what it means?"

As soon as he heard this, Gongzi Heng suddenly realized: "Father, the son knows it." ”

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there!"

"Everything must be done in accordance with the objective law step by step, steadily, not subjectively, not too ambitious, and live by fantasy."

"Father's appointment of Bu Shang at this time, if you are not careful, it may backfire!"

Qingji bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The son can be taught." If it is not as the world forcibly attacks and takes it, it grows with seedlings, and it is hard to work hard, and it is useless to die. ”

"If you ignore it, you will let it fend for itself like thatch, and if you expect it too much, you will inevitably encourage the seedlings to grow, but promote their premature death!"

After a pause, Qingji looked at Gongzi Heng again, and said earnestly: "Heng'er, this Bu Shang is a rare malleable talent, and the widow will hand it over to you." ”

"No."

Gongzi Heng hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Father, the son must be a good cultivator." ”

"The way of the emperor lies in the combination of grace and power, and the importance of both rigidity and softness......"

Qingji said slowly: "Bu Shang is a filial son who respects his mother. The widow will give you the authority to call Bian Que, and you can show grace to the merchant and make him grateful to you......"

"If you say anything superfluous, the widow doesn't want to say it anymore, you can realize it yourself."

"The teachings of the father and the king, the sons and daughters keep them in mind!"

Gongzi Heng was very grateful.

On weekdays, he stays by Qingji's side, and the latter will always teach Gongzi Heng.

Why?

Isn't it just that you want to cultivate Gongzi Heng into a real emperor and a generation of heroes?

This Bu Shang, that is the Bu Zixia in history, a well-known figure.

Wu Qi, Tian Zifang, Li Kui, Duan Ganmu, and Gongyang Gao in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were all his students.

That is, Zixia's scholarship is quite mixed, and while fully inheriting Confucius's Confucianism, it is also inclusive of Legalism and military learning, which may be more than that!

There is no doubt that this is a statecraft.

The Xihe School he founded was well-known for a while, and compared to Confucius and Lao Tzu, they are not far behind, and they belong to the existence of a generation of grandmasters!

Qingji is now handing over Bu Shang to Gongzi Heng, isn't it just for the sake of the future of Wu State?

I don't know, does Gongzi Heng understand the deep meaning of Qingji......

I hope that Bu Shang can really do his best for Wu Guo in the future, and he will die.

……

Wu Wang's Palace, Jiaofang Palace.

At this time, in the palace room with quite simple decoration, Gongzi Heng, who had finished a busy day of government affairs, was asking his mother Ji Ko for peace.

Although he has left the palace and lives independently outside, Gongzi Heng still comes to Ji Ko's Jiaofang Hall every once in a while, chatting about family life, and not forgetting to knock on the side of Qingji......

Gongzi Heng's current situation is that the son is more expensive than the mother.

In the case that Ji Ko's position as queen has not been abolished, Gongzi Heng is still the eldest son of Qingji.

On top of the law, the rightful heir to the throne!

After hearing that Qingji arranged Bu Shang to Gongzi Heng's Mansion and served as a doorman, Ji Ko suddenly couldn't help but smile, covered his mouth and said, "Silly boy, your father is placing high hopes on you." ”

"Queen Mother, how can you see it?"

Gongzi Heng asked with a puzzled look.

Ji Ko said slowly: "According to what you said, this Bu Shang is a malleable talent, and his future achievements are limitless. ”

"Such characters may not be able to live in the same official position as Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, and Deng Xi, and they are extremely popular ministers. Your father and king have given you a merchant as a guest, so how can he not have high hopes for you? ”

After a pause, Ji Ko said meaningfully: "Bu Shang, who is twelve years old, is undoubtedly the next generation of the king. ”

"The king left the fortune merchant to you, which just shows that your father values you, and is already treating you as a prince, and is cultivating his own team for you......"

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

Gongzi Heng, who heard these words, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He guessed it, but he couldn't believe it.

After all, the previous Qingji had always favored Gongzihong, which made Gongziheng very jealous......

Ji Ko is the queen who gets along with Qingji day and night and has shared the same bed for 18 years.

How can you not understand Qingji's character?

As early as Qingji's arrangement of Gongzi Heng to be responsible for the selection of officials, Ji Ko had already guessed that Qingji was most likely cultivating Gongzi Heng as a prince.
