-- The book continues --

In the fourteenth year of King Jing of Zhou, the Great War of Wu and Chu began, and the battle of Baiju won more miracles with less, and soon King Ji of Zhou Jing died, and King Jiren of Zhou Yuan succeeded to the throne and began to enter the Warring States Period.

During the reign of Ji Ren, after the king of Yue Goujian conquered the state of Wu, he commanded a large army to cross the Huai River in the north and made alliances with Qi, Jin, Lu, and Song in Xu (now south of Tengzhou, Shandong Province).

After the alliance, he sent someone to send tribute to Ji Ren, and Ji Ren also gave back the meat used by Gou Jian to worship his ancestors, and ordered him to be an uncle, recognizing that he was in the position of the leader of the princes, and Gou Jian became the overlord for a while.

After Gou Jian destroyed Wu, Fan Li persuaded Wen Chong to leave with him many times, because Gou Jian could share hardships and hardships but not wealth and prosperity, Wen Chong did not listen, and was finally brutally killed by Gou Jian, who was already psychological-perverted.

Fan Li stood firmly on the bow of the boat, a pair of feet as steady as nailed to the board, the tugboat started, the cable gradually straightened, pulling the flat boat straight forward, after knowing that Wen Chong died, he couldn't help but sigh: "The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey cooks; The high bird is exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The enemy country is broken, and the ministers are killed. ”

At this time, Fan Li found that there were two men standing at the ferry, and Fan Li immediately drew his sword and asked, "Who is coming!" ”

"Wang Zheng!"

"Sun Wu!"

"I've seen Yue Xiang Fan Li!" After Sun Wu and Wang Zheng saluted, they directly drew their swords and attacked.

It didn't take long for Sun Wu and Wang Zheng to dig a big pit, in which lay a man and a woman, after burying Fan Li Xishi, Wang Zheng said goodbye and left the territory of Wu, and Sun Wu never left Wu from retirement to the end of his life, and let his three sons, Sun Chi, Sun Ming, and Sun Di look at the future prosperity for them before he died.

On the other side, Ji Ren died of illness, Zhou Zhending Wang Ji Jie succeeded to the throne, Zhou Wai Wang Ji went to illness, ascended the throne after the death of King Zhou Zhending, and was attacked and killed by his younger brother Ji Uncle three months after ascending the throne, and Zhou Si Wang Ji Uncle was killed by his younger brother Ji Wei in 5 months of reign.

During the reign of Zhou Weilie Wang Jiwu, Han Qian, Zhao Ji, and Wei Si were named Han Hou, Zhao Hou, and Wei Hou of the Jin Kingdom, which was the "Three Families Divided into Jin".

Tian He, the doctor of Qi, is the Marquis of Qi, which is called "Tian's generation of Qi".

Qi was originally the fief of Jiang Ziya, the founding minister of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Qi pursued the national policy of respecting the virtuous and meritorious, and soon developed into a powerful country, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, it once became the overlord.

Tian replaced Jiang, and the declining Zhou dynasty and its feudal states recognized this, to which Zhuangzi commented, "Those who steal the hook are punished; The thief is the prince, the door of the princes and the benevolence and righteousness. ”

Jixia School Palace was founded in the reign of Tian Qi Huan Gong, and built a towering school palace near Jimen in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and set up the name of the doctor to attract the world's wise men.

Wu Qi rectified the rule of officials, strengthened the centralization of power, improved finances, and increased military strength. This dealt a powerful blow to the old aristocracy, making the state of Chu quickly become stronger, pacifying Baiyue in the south, destroying Chen, Cai and other states in the north, and defeating the state of Wei.

However, after the death of the king of Chu in the second year, the old nobles who hated the change of law launched a rebellion, shot Wu Qi to death with random arrows, and abolished the new policy, which seriously hindered the social development of the Chu state.

On the other side, in a big mountain at the junction of Wu and Chu, a white-haired young man supported an extremely old woman, the white-haired young man had just taken out a dagger, and the extremely old woman immediately interrupted: "Husband, don't waste your precious blood for the concubine, the concubine can marry an immortal like the husband, the concubine is enough for this life, the husband will tell me a story in the end!" ”

"Qing'er, you ......" The white-haired young man was really Wang Zheng, and he sighed a little reluctantly.

Wang Zheng sat next to his old wife Yue Nu Zhao Qing (the word virgin) and began to tell a fantasy story, Bian Que took a long needle to save a country's An Guojun (the meaning of the prince), because Bian Que was determined to save Hua-Xia, plus the witch doctor in order to seize Bian Que's credit, framed Bian Que and became a fugitive, and then Bian Que was rescued by the people he treated, and then went to the Qi country, and the king of Qi learned that Bian Que came to the Qi country, so he called people to spread the word that Bian Que came to the palace.

When the King of Qi saw Bian Que, he was very disappointed to find that Bian Que was not the legendary Que head of Qi, and Bian Que found that he was seriously ill and needed immediate treatment when he first saw King Qi, and King Qi couldn't help but be angry and directly let Bian Que get out of the palace.

After a while, Bian Que learned that the King of Qi went out hunting, and when he saw the King of Qi on the side of the road, Bian Que was frightened and turned around and ran away, the King of Qi was stunned at first, and immediately asked the soldiers to stop Bian Que, Bian Que told the centurion that the King of Qi was terminally ill and died soon, and the centurion directly asked the soldiers to beat Bian Que violently, and escorted the blue nose and swollen face Bian Que to the King of Qi.

On the same night, the king of Qi suddenly became seriously ill and critically ill, and the other Qi doctors who treated the king of Qi directly put the responsibility on Bian Que, and the son of the king of Qi immediately asked people to chase Bian Que who left the Qi country, and Bian Que, who was beaten out of the Qi country, set off to the Qin state, and unexpectedly escaped the pursuit of the Qi state.

Knowing that Bian Que was also in Qin, he was worried about the death of King Qi and was told by King Qin, and began to wait for Bian Que to treat the patient on the way, and in the dark night, Bian Que was killed by the quack doctor and died in an alley.

When the next day the king of Qin knew about Bian Que's death, he was furious and began to investigate, although it was later found out that it was a quack doctor and avenged Bian Que, but it was a pity that a generation of medical immortals fell, and Bian Que's disciples let the name of Bian Que be passed on to future generations, and every time they practiced medicine to save people, they used the name of Bian Que to live for more than two hundred years.

After the story was told, Wang Zheng found out that his wife Zhao Qing, the Yue daughter, also passed away peacefully, and Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel full of sadness.

Just when Wang Zheng buried his wife Zhao Qing, after the Tian family, King Qi Wei was in power, and with the assistance of Zou Ji and others, he took a series of political, economic, ideological and cultural measures such as reforming politics, rectifying the rule of officials, developing production, prospering the economy, selecting and appointing talents, opening up the way of speech, and expanding the Jixia School Palace, which finally made Qi the strongest than the princes, and the Jixia School Palace also entered a new stage of vigorous development.

And King Qi Wei began to dominate with the help of Sun Cao's son Sun Bin.

On the other hand, at the last moment of his life, the prime minister of Wei recommended his disciple Wei Ying (Shang Ying) to the King of Wei, and now he is serving as the middle concubine, and the King of Wei heard that it was a small middle concubine with a look of disdain, and the uncle persuaded the King of Wei bitterly that if he did not reuse Wei Ying, please kill Wei Ying immediately after his death.

When the king of Wei heard this, he was shocked, and immediately felt that his uncle acne was already old and confused, so he let his uncle take good care of his acne, and left his uncle's house, and his uncle acne looked at the desolate king of Wei who left, the king of Wei was so confused, is there any hope for the future of Wei?

Shortly after the death of Uncle Acne, after Qin State Secret Envoy Jing Jian completed the purpose of making Wei temporarily stop sending troops, he did not leave the capital of Wei State, but tested Wei Ying very much as the deceased Prime Minister Uncle Acne said, on the other hand, after the Wei general Pang Juan drove away Sun Bin and the death of Prime Minister Uncle Acne, he suddenly became the highest point of power, and Pang Juan also wanted to know if Wei Ying was really as Uncle Acne said.

And the prince of Wei came to Pang Juan's house after the funeral of the prime minister's uncle, and asked Pang Juan to support him to ascend to the position of prime minister of Wei.

The changes in the court of Wei caused discussions among people from all sides, and Wei Ying gave a strategy to weaken Qin, so that the eavesdropping Qin State secret made Jing Jian stay in a cold sweat, and if Qin State could not get Wei Ying, Jing Jian would definitely not let Wei Ying become a courtier of Wei State.

Soon Pang Juan knew Wei Ying's weak Qin strategy, and the next day he personally found Wei Ying to help directly complete the plan to destroy Qin, but unfortunately Wei Ying did not have a good impression of Pang Juan, the person who abolished his junior brother Sun Bin, Wei Ying began to find countless excuses, and finally Wei Ying used the excuse of keeping the soul for his uncle for three years, Pang Juan had no choice but to temporarily agree to Wei Ying's spirit guard for his teacher.

So Pang Juan asked a team of soldiers to protect the actual surveillance, but Wei Ying also secretly left the Wei State with the help of his friends and went to the Qi State of the Jixia School Palace, and a new story is about to begin.

After Wei Ying left the Wei Kingdom, he began to travel to the Qi State when he entered the Qi Kingdom, and soon after Wei Ying came to the Qi Kingdom, the King of Qi Wei began to attack Wei with the help of Sun Cao's son Sun Bin, and Pang Juan also began his own policy of destroying the country, the famous Battle of Maling broke out in history, Pang Juan was defeated by Sun Bin, Pang Juan knew that the defeat was decided, so he drew his sword and killed himself, and said to Sun Bin before he died: "Then he became the name of the erector!" ”

Wei Ying couldn't help but regret that when he was in the school palace, he had the right to speak, and he had mastered all the definitions of truth.

This kind of struggle for the right to speak is not uncommon in all fields and eras, and it will not stop. It is a pity that no matter how the old discourse resists, a new discourse has emerged.

Not long ago, Xunzi (Hua-Xia-Hou-Sheng) put forward the theory of the inherent evil of human nature, no matter how later generations resisted, how to oppose, and even removed Xunzi Confucianism, but the theory of human nature and evil will never disappear, and will deeply affect the ideas and aesthetics of future generations.

No matter how strong the theory of the undefeated saints is in the future, the new arguments will not disappear, but will have a profound impact on everyone.

And now, after Confucian Mencius finished saying a set of Confucian doctrines, the Legalist Shen Buxian directly said that Confucian Mencius relied on the so-called benevolent government and peace of the country on the sage monarch and virtuous ministers, which was not the rule of man at all, but an ideal.

And the Confucian Mencius directly said that the lawist Shen Buharm is the power of the country to destroy China, and the angry Shen Buxiao directly scolded Mencius for hypocrisy and walked away, and Mencius did not follow the law to learn the troubled times.

After the words of Confucian Mencius, all the Legalist students present couldn't sit still, at this time, Wei Ying directly replied to Mencius for taking it out of context, and began to explain what law is, the earliest law is the Tang Law of the Shang Dynasty, and said that Mencius is shallow and ignorant.

Wei Ying's sharp words and direct Mencius slapped the table angrily, without waiting for Mencius to say anything, Wei Ying bluntly said that the world is not empty talk but practice, and whoever can enter the world of great contention can enter the world of great contention and strengthen the country and enrich the people, which is the right way.

And a doctrine to erase the hundred schools of thought is empty talk about the avenue of Yi-mistake-Hua-Xia, how hypocritical this school will be abandoned by the world, after Wei Ying finished speaking, all the sons and hundreds of schools present applauded, only Mencius's eyes were full of killing intent on Wei Ying.

Mencius directly said that human nature is inherently good, and said that Wei Ying's Legalists used the so-called to restrain freedom, which is morally shameful!

Wei Ying was directly laughed at by Mencius, and couldn't help but say that human nature is inherently good, and that human nature needs to be restrained by the rule of law.

"Good!" The hundreds of schools of thought present were applauding, and only Confucianism was eager to kill Wei Ying, and suddenly a fierce debate began in the Jixia School Palace.

It wasn't until dark that Wei Ying returned to the hotel (post station), and Wei Ying couldn't help but sigh that after the death of King Qi Wei, the current king was difficult to use, and decided to travel to Korea to observe and observe.

And Qin Xiaogong of Qin State Ying Qu Liang was restless, at this time someone told that the first snow was coming, Ying Qu Liang was ready to travel to relieve his irritable mood, and he met an old man reading in the snow, the old man saw that Ying Qu Liang was extraordinary, so he invited Ying Qu Liang into the house for a gathering, and Ying Qu Liang found that the old man was reading Guiguzi Zonghengxue.

After the conversation, Ying Qu Liang learned that the person who came was the descendant of Baili Xi during the Qin Mugong period, named Baili Yao, and there was only one granddaughter named Baili Xuanqi around him.

And Baili Yao has no intention of going out of the mountain, so that Yingqu Liang can learn from Qin Mugong to recruit talents from the entire Hua-Xia-Bai- tribe, just like the five powerful ministers in the Qin Mugong period, Baili Yao said: "Back then, Kong Qiu said that Mu Gong was open-minded, the overlord was small, and he was the king of the world."

After Ying Qu Liang said goodbye to Baili Yao, he immediately returned to the palace and began to issue a merit-seeking order, and soon Qin Xiaogong won Qu Liang's order to wash away the lead Hua and count several of his ancestors, and said the problems of Qin one by one, this order immediately attracted the criticism of the nobles of Qin State, but Ying Qu Liang overwhelmed the ministers and insisted on issuing this order.

Jing Jian also began to recruit people, when Wei Ying, who was far away in the Han State (not the Bangzi State), couldn't help but sigh that this order was a Xiongwen for hundreds of years, and the Qin State had the potential to swallow the Eight Desolations, and Wei Ying decided to go to the Qin State to show his ambitions.

After Princess Qin Ying Yingyu returned to Qin, she informed everyone of Wei Ying's evaluation of the order to seek talent: "There are still deficiencies in the order to seek talent, Duke Qin only wants to restore the hegemony of Duke Mu, and from a distance, it is small, Ru Qizhi, when the law is changed to strengthen Qin, lay the foundation for the unification of China!" ”

Ying Quliang was overjoyed when he heard it: "Good! ”

Soon after the end of the Battle of Maling, King Ji Bian of Zhou Xian died, King Ji Ding of Zhou Shenliang succeeded to the throne for 6 years, and King Qi Wei died, King Xuan of Qi ascended the throne, Ji surname, Gongsun family, name martingale, Wei Ying (Shang Ting) entered Qin to assist Qin Xiaogong to win Qu Liang, Ying Qu Liang personally took Wei Ying into Qin, the princess Ying Yingyu married Wei Ying, and the monarch and ministers actively implemented the law change, making Qin a rich and powerful country, known as the "Shang Yang Reform" in history.
