How to plow thousands of miles for the first emperor's cub Section 96
Seeing that Xunzi's expression was relaxed, Zhu Xiang knelt and moved to Xunzi's side, talking about his interesting stories after entering Qin, and diverting Xunzi's attention.
Zichu and Lin Zhen glanced at each other.
Zichu: Zhu Xiang is still so good at getting along with his elders.
Lin Zhen: Saved.
The two of them relaxed abruptly, but immediately straightened their backs again when Xunzi's eyes swept over.
Zhu Xiang couldn't help laughing and continued to tell interesting things.
Zichu added, Lin Zhen asked, and when it was dark, Xunzi and Lin Zhen finally inquired about what Zhu Xiang had experienced.
They lit the fire, baked the dough, boiled millet porridge with many bean leaves, and continued to talk.
Lin Zhen laughed: "You two actually performed clumsy swordsmanship in the Qin Palace? Xia Tong still lost? Xia Tong, didn't you invite a swordsmanship teacher after you returned to Xianyang? β
Zichu covered half of his face with a dough cake, not wanting to answer this question.
Xunzi stroked his beard and wanted to reprimand, but this was King Qin's request, he didn't want to cause trouble for Zhu Xiang, and he couldn't insult King Qin directly, so he could only endure it.
Zhu Xiang said proudly: "Now I am Teacher Xia Tong, Xia Tong, call Teacher Sheng to listen." β
Lin Zhen immediately said: "Hurry up and call Uncle Shi." β
Zichu: "Hehe." β
Xunzi saw Zichu for the first time. This prince of Qin, who fled back to Qin from Zhao and was still valued by the crown prince and the king of Qin, made him very curious. Such a person, a scheming person will definitely not be able to escape. He was worried that Zichu would befriend Zhu Xiang, and he just wanted to use Zhu Xiang.
Although he was angry that the three shafters were messing around in front of Lin Xiangru's tomb, he was also relieved. Zi Chu can follow Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen to mess around, thinking that their relationship is sincere.
Now seeing Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen making fun of Zi Chu, Xunzi is more relieved. At least for now, Zichu did make friends with Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen on an equal footing.
Even if they become kings, as long as Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen do not have a power struggle with Zi Chu, such a friendship should be able to last.
It just so happens that Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen are both people who have no desire for power. Zichu should be able to get along well with the two of them.
"King Qin is good to you, you have to repay King Qin well." Xunzi is very pertinent and authentic.
Zichu was driven by Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen, and spoke to Xunzi casually: "Zhu Xiang has repaid a lot. He did in one month what many people would never have done in their lifetime. β
Zi Chu counted in detail what Zhu Xiang did when he left the Qin State.
Lin Zhen ignored that Xunzi was still here, and laughed wildly: "Zhu Xiang, you are too ...... Hahahaha, what do you mean that you haven't done anything for King Qin yet, and you're embarrassed to leave? King Qin must have been amused by you. β
Zi Chu said: "I can't see if the king was amused, but the king replaced the guards with General Mengwu, and said to General Mengwu, it doesn't matter if I can't go back to Qin, Changping Jun must be safe and sound." β
Zhu Xiang sneered: "Now you know that it hurts, right?" What did you say in the first place? It doesn't matter, does it? β
Zichu glanced at Zhu Xiang: "Yes, it doesn't matter to me and Zheng'er, you are the most important, are you happy?" β
Zhu Xiang: "Get out!" β
Lin Zhen patted his thigh and smiled: "Xia Tong, do you know that Zhu Xiang regards his relatives and friends as more important than himself, do you have to poke somewhere?" I said that you are really stupid, and such words can also reach Zhu Xiang's ears. You don't know how much he spoils Zheng'er, if you don't treat Zheng'er well, he will put croton in your rice. β
Zi Chu sneered: "I want to hide it from him, but the king betrayed me, what can I do?" β
Lin Zhen touched his chin: "It seems that King Qin likes to see your jokes very much?" I didn't expect King Qin to be this kind of person! β
Zi Chu said in his heart, he didn't expect it.
Xun Zi saw that Zi Chu could even joke about his status in King Qin's heart that he was inferior to Zhu Xiang, and finally completely relieved his heart.
He said: "King Qin let Fan Ju and Bai Qi live in Zhu Xiang's house, which is not only the greatest guarantee for Zhu Xiang, Xia Tong, this is also King Qin's recognition of you." β
Zichu lowered his head: "Yes." β
Xun Zi said: "The power of the Qin State is concentrated in the hands of the king, as long as the King of Qin values the two of you, whether it is a relative of Chu or other princes of the Qin State, you can ignore it." The king of Qin rarely delegated power even to the crown prince, and the princes of Qin could fight each other in front of him to show their talents, but after he decided on an heir, whoever dared to move would challenge his authority. None of you need to do anything superfluous, and you can't do anything superfluous. β
Zi Chu's heart trembled: "Yes!" "Xunzi actually taught him about the struggle for the throne of Qin?!
"Xunzi, you're too worried. Do you think Zhu Xiang looks like a person who will quarrel with others? Lin Zhen said, "Even if others calculate him, as long as nothing happens, he probably wants the other party to apologize." β
Zhu Xiang and Zi Chu's faces became very exciting at the same time.
Lin Zhen was curious: "What?" I was right. β
Zhu Xiang gritted his teeth: "Shut up." β
Lin Zhen: "Hahahahaha! β
Xunzi held his forehead: "Zhu Xiang, you can't ...... Well, you won't be able to learn what I'm taught. With Xia Tong and Cai Ze to help you, Lin Zhen will also be out for you. Except for the assassination of King Qin, the three of them can protect you in other things. β
Lin Zhen continued to laugh: "Xunzi, as far as Zhu Xiang's swordsmanship, he can only wait for Xia Tong to be the king of Qin before he can assassinate, hahaha." β
Zhu Xiang and Zi Chu's faces turned red at the same time.
Xunzi put the clenched fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "Don't talk nonsense." β
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "By the way, is beating Zheng'er's ass an assassination of King Qin?" β
Zi Chu was speechless: "When beating Zheng'er's ass is considered to assassinate King Qin, then I can't protect Zhu Xiang." β
Lin Zhen nodded: "That's right, you have become the first king......"
Xunzi shot out the cuff ring ruler and knocked it on the heads of Lin Zhen, Zichu, and Zhu Xiang in turn.
Zichu: "......" shocked!
Zhu Xiang: "......" grievances!
"LΓΌ Buwei is tactful, as long as you keep the upper hand, not only will he not be hostile to you, but he may also become your best tool." What Xunzi is saying now is not at all like a Confucian sage, "The villain drives it with profit, but it cannot be reused, so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the court." β
Lin Zhen nodded vigorously: "Yes, reuse me." Now that I'm out of office, I'm going to be a prime minister. β
Zhu Xiang: "I don't want to do anything, I don't want to go to the palace for a meeting." β
Zichu: "Okay." β
Then the three of them were knocked on the head by Xunzi again.
This time it was Zichu's turn to be wronged. What did he do wrong? Why get beaten?
Xunzi supported his forehead, it seems that this Qin State, he has to enter.
Do these three people look like a qualified monarch and minister? Especially Xia Tong, he would rather King Qin be the king of tigers and wolves, than King Qin become like Lin Zhen or Zhu Xiang! The state of Qin will really die!
"Now that a lot of people are staring at this, you can't hide it for long. Now that you have already worshipped, you will return to Qin immediately tomorrow. Xunzi is very tired in his heart now, and he doesn't want to teach them anymore. After entering Qin, let's teach slowly.
Zhu Xiang hesitated. Lin Zhen immediately said: "Yes, I will leave with you tomorrow." Xunzi, do you want to enter Qin with us? β
Xunzi said: "I will leave a few days late to cover up for you." β
Lin Zhen bowed to the ground: "Xie Xunzi." β
According to etiquette, Lin Zhen should keep filial piety for Lin Xiangru for at least one year. But Xunzi didn't reprimand Lin Zhen, and he had to help Lin Zhen cover up.
Xunzi is different from Confucius and Mencius, he is more realistic. Although etiquette is important, Xunzi knows that Lin Xiangru prefers Lin Zhen to go to Qin State as soon as possible, and hopes that Lin Zhen and Zhu Xiang will be happy, so etiquette should give way to people's wishes. If the etiquette is adhered to, Lin Zhen loses the opportunity to enter Qin, and Zhu Xiang encounters danger, it is "unfilial".
"Xunzi, when I entered the village, I heard from the villagers that this year's harvest was not good." Zhu Xiang originally wanted to inquire tomorrow, but now Xunzi asked him to leave tomorrow, so he had to ask in person, "There is snow in winter, and the spring drought will be alleviated after the snow melts." This spring is also considered to be a good season, how can the harvest be bad? What's going on, there's a ...... I can help with."
Lin Zhen patted Zhu Xiang's shoulder vigorously and interrupted Zhu Xiang: "Zhu Xiang, you are now Qin Chen, don't do anything superfluous." β
Zhu Xiang's fists clenched on his legs: "What happened to Zhao Guo's fields?" β
Lin Zhen said: "Anyway, there will be no famine in Zhao Kingdom this year, so you don't care about the rest." β
Zhu Xiang asked, "Really?" But the villagers said......"
"There really won't be a famine." Lin Zhen said, "Trust me. Although my father died, Gong Lian was still serving as the prime minister of Zhao State. β
Zhu Xiang lowered his head: "That's right." β
Lin Zhen said: "Go and rest." Tomorrow we will enter Qin together. After entering Qin, I will tell you slowly. β
Zhu Xiang nodded: "Okay." β
He knew that he couldn't ask, so he stopped dwelling on it.
Tired from the journey, Zhu Xiang quickly fell asleep.
Zi Chujue Shao, went out with his clothes on, and saw that Lin Zhen, who said that he was going to pack his luggage, was still chatting with Xunzi.
Seeing Zichu come out, Lin Zhen turned around and said, "You didn't tell Zhu Xiang about Zhao Guo?" β
Zi Chu said: "Zhu Xiang has experienced so many things, when he arrived in Qin State, his hair was gray, and the king was worried about telling him about Zhao State, and he depressed himself to death. β
Lin Zhen said: "As a result, his hair is still completely white." What kind of dream do you say Father has nothing to do? β
Xunzi used a ring ruler to beat the unfilial Lin Zhen's head as a drum.
When Zichu saw this scene, his heart was warm.
He so expected Zhu Xiang to enter the Qin State, in addition to the fact that Zhu Xiang was a great talent who could make the Qin State stronger, this scene was also one of the reasons.
Zichu misses his life in Zhu Xiang's house very much, even if he always quarrels with Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen.
"Although Zhu Xiang's hair is all white, he can still make huge waves in the Qin State." Zi Chu sat beside the brazier burning straw offerings, staring at the flames, "Actually, I think even if we don't tell him, he will find out on his own, so it's better for us to tell him at the beginning, so that he can be mentally prepared." Zhu Xiang is not a fragile person. β
The iron-headed baby Zhu Xiang's best friend is also the iron-headed baby's Lin Zhen said: "Look at his white hair, say it again?" β
Zi Chu smiled bitterly: "No matter how much he hides, he will find out." β
Lin Zhen let out a long sigh and rubbed his hair vigorously.
"But I didn't lie to him, there will indeed be no famine in Zhao this year."
"If there is a famine, it will be the Yan Kingdom."
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't listen to slander, Zhao is unattackable! The doctor dissuaded him.
King Yan frowned: "Didn't you say that Zhao Guo lost Zhu Xianggong, it was when people were panicking?" β
Jiang Qu knelt and crawled in front of King Yan: "Your Majesty, the Zhao State is indeed weak, so it is just right to negotiate an alliance with the Zhao State to strengthen the influence of the Yan State, but you must not attack the Zhao State." β
"Although the people of Zhao were panicked, because Qin returned prisoners of war in the Battle of Changping, the Zhao army was not injured; Now King Zhao reuses Lian Po, and there are good generals to lead the troops; When the people of Zhao lost Zhu Xiang's justice, they were depressed, and there was a country that sent troops to divert their attention, and both the nobles and commoners of Zhao would fight hard. β
Sticking his face to the ground: "The other five countries did not attack Zhao because Zhao was weak, but instead extended a helping hand to Zhao Guo, they just wanted to keep Zhao Guo in the current state of panic, and not let Zhao Guo have a chance to regain his strength." If Yan Guo attacks Zhao State, it will make Zhao Guo regain his strength! The Zhao people are brave and good at fighting, and the Yan people are invincible! β
When King Yan heard this, his face changed greatly, and his heart was full of humiliation.
Yan was not a powerful country in the first place. When Yan Wang Xu was coaxed into the Zen position by Xiang Guozi, Yan was almost destroyed by Qi State. In order to prevent the Qi State from becoming strong, King Wuling of Zhao sent troops to Korea to escort the son of the proton in Korea to ascend the throne as the king, and it was for the king of Yan Zhao.
King Yan Zhao was a very wise king. During his reign, Guo Huai was used for internal affairs, Le Yi for military affairs, and Su Qin for diplomacy. The Yan Kingdom has risen from a small country on the verge of extinction to one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Le Yi led his troops to attack the Qi State to take revenge, and almost destroyed the Qi State.
