"Your Majesty, Doctor Xi Qiming invited Zhang Beichen to be a guest in the house." In the palace of King Qin, his subordinates reported to the Yingyi people.

"Xi Qiming, what did he ask Zhang Beichen to do?" Yingyiren's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"He seems to want to win over Zhang Beichen and marry his daughter to him!"

"What!" Yingyiren's voice suddenly raised, startling his subordinates.

"This Xiqi Ming is really tired! Extremely daring! Yingyiren's tone was cold, with murderous intent, and her subordinates noticed that her hands were already on the hilt of the sword!

"This, what's going on today?" The subordinates were worried in their hearts, usually King Qin is very calm, why did he get angry when he heard the news? Isn't it just co-opting, isn't that a normal thing?

"The result?" Yingyi looked at him and asked, "Did Zhang Beichen agree?" ”

"No, Master Zhang said that he was unblessed, and the two parted unhappily." The subordinate answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Yingyiren's tone returned to calm: "The widow knows, you go down." ”

"Yes!"

……

Zhang Beichen came out of Xiqiming's mansion, and it was already late, so he did not go to the Qin Palace to meet him, but went to the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

Zhaoxian Hall is located on the street of the capital, it used to be a mansion under the name of King Qin, in order to prepare for the construction of Zhaoxian Hall, Yingyi people paid out of their own pockets, paid money and land, and hyped up.

Even so, only more than a hundred people came to the Qin State.

Speaking of which, Zhang Beichen is an official, and he also belongs to the regulations of the recruitment order, so he can also be regarded as a student of the recruitment hall, and he has his residence here.

Zhang Beichen stayed in the Zhaoxian Pavilion for one night, and early the next morning, he met the Zhaoxian Pavilion Order, the minister of Yingyi's cronies, Jingping.

Jing Ping's skin is dark, but his facial features are handsome, and he speaks and moves politely, with the demeanor of a Confucian disciple.

In the earlier simulation, Zhang Beichen took refuge in him and became his protégé.

"Brother Zhang, I've been looking up for a long time." Jingping arched his hand.

"Your Excellency." Zhang Beichen hurriedly returned the salute.

"You don't have to be so polite, you and I are both working for the king, and brothers can be commensurate." Others don't know, Jingping is not clear? The Yingyi people really cultivated Zhang Beichen as a cronie.

As for the title "Aiqing", it has now become her exclusive title for Zhang Beichen.

And Jing Ping also saw Zhang Beichen's talent and learning, and felt that he did have real talent and hard work.

"Then you're welcome." Zhang Beichen said casually.

"Brother Zhang." Jing Ping said, "Your Excellency has already instructed you to live in the Zhaoxian Pavilion these days. If you have something, you can go to the palace to meet you. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Beichen also knew that he was no longer a guest, so it was naturally impossible for him to live in the palace of King Qin, so as not to cause criticism.

"It's okay today, why don't you go to my mansion and let's have a good chat!" Jingping wanted to communicate with Zhang Beichen.

The two were about to leave, but they were stopped.

"Dare to ask if this is the legendary county magistrate of Baiyang County, Zhang Beichen?" They were stopped by a scholar dressed in Confucian robes.

"Exactly." Zhang Beichen looked at the other party.

As soon as they heard Zhang Beichen's name, the surrounding scholars immediately gathered around and looked Zhang Beichen up and down.

"He's Zhang Beichen?"

"That's it! I thought he had three heads and six arms! ”

"I don't know what King Qin likes about him? Obviously, everyone is a scholar of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, why are we suffering here, but he has already become an official and knighted? ”

"I also heard that within a month, King Qin promoted him to the title twice in a row! It's so unfair, if you talk about knowledge, I don't think I will lose to him! ”

Jing Ping whispered in Zhang Beichen's ear: "Brother Zhang, the scholars have come to the Qin State from thousands of miles away, and they feel that my Qin Country is poor and dissatisfied. ”

"I heard that you are highly used by the king, so it is inevitable that I will be a little hostile to you."

Zhang Beichen immediately understood that this was a red-eyed disease.

The Confucian student asked again: "Dare to ask Zhang Xianling, where is your teacher, and what is the court?" ”

Zhang Beichen said directly: "I am a scattered person in the mountains and wilderness, there is no famous teacher, and I am not from a famous family. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at him with a little contempt, and some even showed contempt directly.

In this era, countries value the background. Most of them, even if they are poor, can turn over the genealogy and report their illustrious ancestors.

"In that case, then how can you become a county magistrate and be promoted to a fourth-level knighthood within a month?" Confucian asked.

Zhang Beichen said: "The king trusts and recognizes my talent. Do you need to ask why? Do you mean that whoever has a high court will give him a knighthood? Then there are many powerful children in the Qin State, what else do you need to do? ”

"You ......" Confucian said in a sluggish tone, unconvinced: "Since you claim to be talented and learned, then I just want to see a thing or two!" ”

"Zhang Beichen, do you dare to argue with us?" He challenged.

Others were also eager to try, Zhang Beichen saw that there were so many people, and after debating with them, I was afraid that a few days would not be enough.

He directly refused, saying: "I still have something, you can argue for yourself." ”

"Are you scared?" Confucian Sheng took the opportunity to provoke the general, "I'm afraid that you'll be exposed to your shallow learning!" ”

"That is, don't you dare to argue with us about the dialectic?"

"My talent is even more than yours, and I should also be reused by King Qin!" The soldiers cried out.

Seeing this, Zhang Beichen said: "Everyone, I know that you want to prove your talents, but you don't have to use this way. In the near future, the king will set a national policy, and if you have real skills, you will dedicate the national policy. If it is really stronger than me, let you value it, and I Zhang Beichen will also admit it! ”

"Good!" Immediately, someone shouted, "I have already prepared to present the national policy to the King of Qin, and I should preside over the national policy of the Qin State at that time, and I will enter the prime minister!" ”

"My national policy is the most suitable for the Qin State!"

The Confucian saw that the fire he had arched was diverted by Zhang Beichen, so he put down his cruel words: "Zhang Beichen, I know that the king is now favoring you to change your strategy. It's a pity that you met me, with me, there will be no place for you in the Qin Kingdom! ”

This person's hostility towards himself is outrageous, Zhang Beichen remembers that he didn't provoke him, could it be that he is from the old clan?

Zhang Beichen asked, "Who are you?" ”

Confucian Sheng didn't hide it, and said proudly: "Don't change your name when you sit down, and don't change your surname!" Lu country, Gongliang Huai'an. ”

"Lu Guo? That's the hometown of Sage Confucius! Immediately, a scholar asked, "Brother Tai is a Confucian disciple, but he studied at the Confucian Academy in Lu State?" ”

"Of course!" Gongliang Huai'an said, "I had the privilege of studying at the Lu Confucian Academy for three years. ”

Hearing this, everyone was even more surprised.

"It turned out to be the son of the Gongliang family!" Someone said, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the descendants of Gongziliang went to the Lu Kingdom to study from the Confucian sage, and they were respected as saint disciples, so the descendants took Gongliang as their surname!" Gongliang brother is famous! ”

Some people also admired: "Brother Gongliang can study in the Confucian Academy, he must be a Confucian elite!" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, there are many talented people among you!" Gongliang Huai'an said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the national policy of the Qin State is imminent. We are all here to assist the King of Qin in governing the Qin State, and we should use what we have learned to provide good policies for the Qin State to govern the country. We must not allow those who are indiscriminate to occupy high positions and mislead the country and the people. ”

"It's nature!" All the scholars nodded, intentionally or unintentionally, taking Zhang Beichen as their opponent.

Zhang Beichen doesn't care, these people have to be eliminated at least more than half.

……

In Jingping's mansion, Jingping reminded: "Brother Zhang, among the scholars, some people have already contacted the old clan in private, and when the national policy is decided, I am afraid that they will attack you!" ”

"Don't be afraid." Zhang Beichen is confident that his change of strategy will definitely be fine.

"I'm just reminding you, Brother Zhang has a good idea." Jingping said, and told him some about the current situation of the Qin State, as well as the things to pay attention to in determining the national policy.

Zhang Beichen stayed in Liyang City for a few days, and finally came to the day when King Qin set the national policy.

On this day, the courtiers of the Qin State and the scholars of the Zhaoxian Pavilion all went to the palace to participate in the court meeting of the national policy.

The Yingyi people bathed in incense, put on the black and red robes of the King of Qin, and first went to the temple to worship the ancestors according to the rules, and then went to the court.

In the main hall of the palace, the Yingyi people sit on the golden and jade throne, with a cold jade face, overlooking the ministers.

Her gaze swept among the ministers until she saw Zhang Beichen standing below, her eyes lingering for a few seconds.

The people of Yingyi know that today's national policy is destined to be not peaceful. She has asked Jingping to convey the meaning to Zhang Beichen that she wants to set the national policy of changing the law and strengthening the country.

At this point, she alone is not enough, Zhang Beichen has to contribute.

Meng Yuan, who had gray hair and beard, read in an old voice: "The new monarch is in power, and he should set a national policy to govern the country." Your Majesty, please sacrifice the Xuanniao! ”

Yingyi stood up and pulled out her sword, the blade of which gently slashed across her palm, blood falling on the sword, and the blade made a clanging sound!

Immediately afterwards, I saw a mysterious bird phantom flying from afar, hovering in the center of the main hall, which was the symbol of the national fortune of the Qin State, the totem Xuanniao.
