In fact, both Wei and Korea had taken refuge in the Qin king. The king of Qin did not agree, but directly sent troops to attack.

Because the king of Qin does not need vassal states, he is not willing to divide the princes again, he wants real unification.

After breaking the filter, Zhu Xiang felt pity for Han Fei.

The words written in Han Fei's writings must be his true ideal. So when his actions are contrary to his ideals, does he have a feeling that his soul is torn apart?

The ideal is so, but in reality, because of family and loyalty, he cannot practice his ideals, and even becomes a person who hinders his ideals. Zhu Xiang could feel Han Fei's sadness just by thinking about it.

There is no charismatic "Helen" of the Warring States, only a pathetic old man who is torn apart by ideals and reality and covered in blood.

When Qin Shi Huang regretted it and wanted to recover the edict of death, it is said that Han Fei also wanted to say something to Qin Shi Huang, but unfortunately he could not convey it.

What will Han Fei say? Will he choose again? Or was he just telling Qin Shi Huang that even though Qin was the ideal country he dreamed of, he would still die for Korea?

"Han Fei, do you know how my hair turned white?" Zhu Xiang asked.

Han Fei was puzzled: "Zhu Xiang and Gong, aren't they born and born out of phase?" ”

Zhu Xiang stopped, turned around and smiled bitterly: "Of course not." ”

He asked, "How much do you know about my affairs in Zhao State?" ”

Han Feiyu hesitated and said: "King Zhao listened to the slander and sent Zhu Xianggong to prison. King Qin ordered Wu Anjun to come to greet him? ”

Zhu Xiang turned around, faced Han Fei and said with a smile: "What you said is the most irrelevant thing. ”

Han Fei looked at Zhu Xiang suspiciously.

Zhu Xiang recalled: "I am very good at farming, so that the fields of the common people can increase to a level similar to that of the nobles. Because of this, Lin Gong recommended me to King Zhao many times. But because I was only the son of a peasant, I never succeeded. ”

"I sent paper-making and was almost killed; I sent the sugar making technique, and the king of Zhao classified it as a palace use, and only rewarded me with some gold and silver brocade; I asked the farmers to cultivate potatoes, and King Zhao liked the potato flowers that he had never seen before, and wanted me to enter the palace to raise flowers for the temple people. ”

Han Fei's face turned pale.

Zhu Xiang asked, "Do you think what King Zhao has done is excessive?" Not too much, right? If I were in Korea, Wei, Yan, Qi, and Chu, I would have suffered the same thing. ”

Han Fei took a deep breath. He tried to argue, but eventually hung his head weakly.

Zhu Xiang recalled: "In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Gong as a general, and I knew that Zhao would be defeated. And the Qin State could not afford to raise so many prisoners of war, and it was impossible to send them back to the Zhao State so that the Zhao State could restore its combat strength, so it would definitely kill the prisoners. ”

"Han Fei, killing prisoners in the Warring States has become the norm, do you know?" Zhu Xiang asked.

Han Fei clenched his fists: "I know." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "So I eagerly ask the elders to make a name for me, and I don't hesitate to provoke the disgust of the nobles of the Zhao State." The son of a peasant argues with a scholar, and he never loses. Do you think I'll be reused by them, or will I be repulsed and suppressed by them? ”

Han Fei gritted his teeth and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Disgust, suppression." ”

He remembered the mediocrity in the Korean court.

Zhu Xiang nodded: "They deeply dislike me, so I went to Changping very smoothly." ”

Han Fei said sadly: "King Qin is different from the kings of the Six Kingdoms, isn't it?" ”

Zhu Xiang chuckled: "It's different, but my identity in King Qin is also different from that of other kings." The King of Qin was willing to give me the opportunity to show my talents, which was rarely done by the kings of the Six Kingdoms. But if Xia Tong hadn't informed King Qin of my identity in advance, and if there was no amulet from Zheng'er, do you think I would have a chance to make King Qin wait for me for three months? ”

Behind the big tree not far away, an old man and a young man quietly probed and quietly retracted their heads.

Meng Wu and Lin Zhen squatted behind the bushes next to the tree, looking at each other.

Meng Wu: As for it? Can't you just go out and listen openly?

Lin Zhen: Hahahahahaha, will Zhu Xiang be beaten by Junshang?

Han Fei pondered for a long time, and his voice was low: "No." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Between the common people and the nobles, there is a corner of the world. ”

He smiled and said, "After I returned to Zhao Kingdom, I was immediately imprisoned. It's not a slander, King Zhao really wants to kill me. I can understand King Zhao's thoughts, I, a common man, have shown his talent, which brings out his lack of eyes in the previous years, ha. The dignity of the king is much more important than the virtue. What's more, I am still Zheng'er's uncle, and I may return to Qin with Zheng'er. ”

"This virtuous man may have a grudge against me, and he is related to another country, if it were another king, he would also kill me, right?" Zhu Xiang said quietly, "I can understand, and you can understand too, right?" ”

Han Fei lowered his head. He wanted to say it wasn't right, but he said it right in his heart.

If such a person is in Korea, he will definitely die. King Han will not leave this unstable factor behind.

"Zhu Xianggong's hair, therefore, because of this, is it white?" Han Fei asked.

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "No." I won't be a fool of King Zhao's stupid behavior. ”

Han Fei: "Huh? "Is it bluntly abusive?

Zhu Xiang said: "When King Zhao sent secret guards to kill me, the jailer and jailer died to protect me. ”

He compared the length with his hand: "The key is so long, the jailer swallowed it alive in order not to let people find it." When I saw him, his body had been dissected. ”

Han Fei's body shook and looked up at Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang said: "The peasants on the outskirts of Handan entered the city and attacked the prison for me, they committed the felony of disobedience, and they were willing to die for me." ”

Han Fei looked at Zhu Xiang's hair, then at Zhu Xiang's eyes, and at the sadness in Zhu Xiang's eyes.

"When I left the Zhao Kingdom, the Zhao people sent each other on foot, and the soles of my feet were worn out and refused to go back. I knelt down and begged them to leave......," Zhu Xiang said, "I went back to Zhao to worship Lin Gong, and learned that King Zhao ordered one person to pull out winter wheat and freeze to death the potato seeds I left for famine relief." The nobles had a lot of food, but they refused to give relief to the commoners, but waited for the commoners to starve to death so that they could take possession of the commoners' land......"

Zhu Xiang grabbed his chest and said: "In order to save more Zhao people, Duke Lian destroyed his reputation and slaughtered Yan State, and transferred the price of famine to Yan State. Do you think my hair can not be gray? ”

Han Fei closed his eyes and said, "I know, Zhu Xianggong, why don't you want to teach me." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "I told you, it's not your fault, it's my fault." It's not that I won't take you as a disciple, but I won't take anyone as an apprentice. ”

"In this era, the king is supreme, the nobles are superior, and the common people are not as valuable as livestock. I value the common people more, which is not in line with reality. Even though I chose reality, I still remember in my heart that I am a commoner. ”

"My disciples accepted my ideas and either turned their backs on me or, like me, agonized because they were out of step with the times."

"No, you're going to be more miserable than I am. Because you have a family and a family bond, your ideals and reality are even more separated. ”

Zhu Xiang let go of the hand holding the placket and gently patted Han Fei's shoulder: "So don't learn from me, learn the knowledge based on the present." Xunzi's concept of governing the country is very suitable, not only beyond this era, but also not too much. ”

Han Fei finally understood Zhu Xiang's refusal.

He is not rejecting himself, not thinking that he is not qualified to learn his ideas.

"Zhu Xianggong, Zhu Xianggong thinks that if I learn from you, I will definitely become and become you?" Han Fei asked.

Zhu Xiang said: "You will not become me, but you will definitely be influenced by me." Because you are extremely talented, you will definitely be able to become a person comparable to Xunzi in the future...... Don't tell Xunzi this sentence. ”

Han Fei wanted to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't smile: "Zhu Xianggong is so sure, sure that your thinking is correct, I will definitely learn?" ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "Of course." ”

Zhu Xiang looked into the distance: "I can see that my ideals will definitely be realized in nearly two thousand years." So I can endure the present because everything I do is for that day to come. You can't see the light in the distance, you can only see the darkness of the moment, so I can't teach you to have gray hair. ”

Zhu Xiang pointed to his hair and said with a smile: "Although I think the white hair is very good-looking, relatives and friends will be worried." I'm trying my best to figure out how to get my hair black. ”

Han Fei understood Zhu Xiang's pain.

But he couldn't understand why Zhu Xiang could still laugh, and this smile was not a disguise.

"Okay, learn from Xunzi well. But if you have any questions and want to ask me for advice, I will also guide you. Zhu Xiang said with a smile, "I don't accept you as a disciple, but I can still do it if I give you a few instructions in terms of knowledge." But Han Fei, do you really want to continue your studies? ”

Han Fei asked, "Why, why can't you?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "The more you learn and the more you understand, the more sober you will be." And the sober person will definitely suffer. ”

Han Fei lowered his head again: "Sober...... Is sober Korea bound to perish? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the princes stood side by side, and the emperor of Zhou was respected; In the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes competed for power, and the overlord was recognized by Zhou Tianzi, which can be regarded as a kind of coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes. At this time, the princes already wanted to become the Shang at the end of the summer and the Zhou at the end of the Shang. In the Spring and Autumn Period, many countries were annexed, and the annexation wars intensified during the Warring States Period, you are the prince of Han, and you should know that the upper echelons of all countries are aiming to compete for the Central Plains and replace the Zhou Dynasty. ”

Han Fei was silent.

Zhu Xiang patted Han Fei on the shoulder again and said, "The Zhou Dynasty has fallen into division, and it is bound to be unified again after that." South Korea failed to annex the other two Jin when the three were divided, and it was congenitally insufficient, and no matter which country started the process of reunification, it was bound to attack South Korea first. The longer you seek, the more painful it becomes. Now go home and stop thinking about these things, maybe Korea will have a crisis after you die, and you don't have to suffer for an invisible crisis. ”

Han Fei said in a low voice: "But Zhu Xianggong, I've already thought about it." ”

Zhu Xiang said in his heart, that's different, at least now you just know that South Korea will definitely perish, not on the side of the unification of the world. You are only suffering from reality and have not yet been torn apart by ideals and reality.

But he glanced at Han Fei deeply, turned around and said, "Let's go, go to the field to see the cotton." ”

The two walked forward one after the other again, and Han Fei was still half a step behind Zhu Xiang.

"Han Fei, do you feel uncomfortable when you see King Qin and Prince Qin farming?"

"Originally, originally, I felt uncomfortable. How can a king farm the land? But I also thought, the king has hobbies, but he likes vocal music, beauty, fencing, horses, food and clothes, why can't he like farming? The king did not take farming as his job, but guided the scholars to pay attention to agriculture and mulberry with his preferences, which is very good! ”

"It's you, Han Feizi."

"Ah?!! Zhu Xianggong!! Don't, don't make fun of me! ”

"Hahaha."

Zhu Xiang's laughter was very hearty, as if he was carefree.

Han Fei's voice was full of embarrassment, and he was shocked by Zhu Xiangzun's call "son".

Behind the big tree, an old man and a young man came out.

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Father Zeng, after destroying Zhao, I want to destroy Zhao's sacrifice!" ”

The old King of Qin clasped his hands and said, "Zheng'er, have you forgotten that King Zhao is of the same clan as us?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng said: "Drive them out!" ”

Old King Qin smiled: "Whatever you want." Zheng'er, is it true or false that your uncle said that he can see the world in a thousand years? ”

Ying Xiaozheng tilted his head, and said with an innocent face: "It doesn't make a difference whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with now." ”

The old King of Qin bowed: "It's the same." Alas. ”

Although Xunzi left Han Fei in Zhu Xiang's house, without Zhu Xiang's approval, Xunzi would never bring people to Zhu Xiang's side.

Xunzi's doting on Zhu Xiang is actually even more than Zheng'er.

Therefore, Han Fei is actually the person Zhu Xiang likes.

Zhu Xiang pays special attention to Han Fei because Han Fei is similar to him?

"I thought Zhu Xiang would be grateful to me for promoting him as a concubine, but he turned out to be so sober." Old King Qin frowned first, and then couldn't hold back a smile, "Indeed, if it weren't for Xia Tong's recommendation, and without the identity of Zheng'er's uncle, I wouldn't give him a chance to prove himself." ”

The old King of Qin also followed Zhu Xiang and the others to call Zi Chu Xia Tong. The name "Xia Tong" is indeed more pleasant than "Zi Chu".

Ying Xiaozheng said: "The aristocracy really doesn't look down on the people. If the Shu people show better talent than the nobles, in addition to becoming a discerning feudal monarch such as Xinlingjun and others, it is estimated that there will only be one ending. ”

Lao Qin Wang said: "But it is always inappropriate for talents to flow to the people." It is better to use a scholar without a foundation than a nobleman of the Six Kingdoms with different ambitions. Lin Zhen, your proposal was approved. ”

Lin Zhen knelt down and bowed: "Thank you." ”
