Chapter 101: Old King Qin Bait
The king of Qin was full of energy, and after spending a few days in Wucheng, he was going to inspect other places.
Although Zi Chu kept assuring that his body was fine and he could go on patrol with King Qin, he was still left by King Qin and handed over to Zhu Xiang to regulate his body.
The young Ying Xiaozheng was also left behind, and Meng Wu and Li Mu accompanied the King of Qin.
King Qin thought that Meng Wu and Li Mu were not by Zhu Xiang and Zi Chu's side, and he was not at ease to lead the guards, so he chose one person in his own escort team and threw it to Zi Chu and Zhu Xiang to summon.
"Didn't you and I nominate Wang Qian? He is Wang Qian. After King Qin called Wang Jian to his side as a close attendant for a period of time, he found that although Wang Jian was young, he was indeed very talented, and this time he specially took Wang Jian with him, "Wang Qian, after today, you will be a retainer for Zichu." β
Wang Jian knelt on the ground: "Obey." β
Zichu was very excited. This was the first time he had received a reward from the King of Qin.
In addition to the doormen, if they have real power, there will also be "retainers" who enjoy the official establishment.
Gan Luo, a genius in history, once served as a retainer for LΓΌ Buwei.
Although Wang Qian's current family background is not too prominent, he is also a veteran nobleman of the Qin State, and he wants to become a nobleman, of course, he doesn't need to go to who to be a retainer first.
But the old King Qin gave him to his son, Zi Chu, and the meaning was different. Wang Jian and the family behind Wang Jian will be the team of Gongzi Chu in the future, and if Wang Jian and his family vote for others, they will not only betray Gongzi Chu, but also betray King Qin.
As a child of a nobleman, Wang Jian originally planned to go to King Qin's side as a close attendant directly with his talent and family background after gaining a little fame. Now that the King of Qin has given him to Wang Sun, he is actually a little awkward in his heart.
However, this awkwardness disappeared when he heard King Qin say "Zhu Xiang recommends".
A shy smile appeared on Wang Qian's face, and he thanked Zhu Xiang, feeling very excited.
Now that everyone in the world has spread all over the world, Zhu Xianggong has the ability to know people, and what he recommends must be real talents; If anyone can become friends with Zhu Xianggong, then that person will definitely become a world-famous capable person in the future.
Wang Jian was very envious of Li Mu. He is about the same age as Li Mu, Li Mu is already quite accomplished, he has only been a junior general on the battlefield once, waiting for the family to find an opportunity for him to contact the nobles in the palace. If Zhu Xianggong recommended him, he might be able to show his ambitions earlier.
Zhu Xiang saw Wang Jian smiling at him, and couldn't help but look at Li Mu.
Li Mu gave Zhu Xiang a "? "Expression.
Zhu Xiang thought to himself, Wang Qian's shy expression was really like Li Mu when he first met.
It's a pity that now Li Mu no longer shows his signature shy smile, and has become more and more honest about his talent. This must be the faceless Lin Zhen who broke him.
"You don't have to thank me, you can show your talent without my recommendation." Zhu Xiang said.
Wang Jian did not continue to thank Zhu Xiang in front of King Qin, but he was dissatisfied with Zhu Xiang's modest words in his heart.
He has been in his old age, although he has read a lot of military books, but he has made no achievements on the battlefield, and gradually doubts whether he does not have many real skills.
Especially after Zhao Kuo's incident, Wang Jian became even more flustered and unconfident.
Zhao Kuo has never lost the debate. He was worried about whether he was another Zhao Kuo, and even wanted to give up his climb from the army and seek a position as a clerk.
Zhu Xiang's recommendation came in a very timely manner, so that he did not put down the military book in his hand.
When Lian Po and Bai Qi went to Xianyang Academy to give lectures in their spare time, he went to study without landing, took a large notebook, and waited for the opportunity to practice.
Now, maybe he has come to Chu Land, and maybe he can meet this opportunity.
Wang Jian was very nervous, and he was worried that he would not perform well when he encountered an opportunity.
Zhu Xiang didn't know the anxiety in Wang Qian's heart.
Three of the four famous generals of the Warring States period were all eating at his house. These three famous generals have been full of self-confidence since they were teenagers. Even though Bai Qi is cautious and Li Mu is humble, he is also very proud of his talent.
Zhu Xiang took it for granted that Wang Jian should also be a proud person.
In fact, if you comb through Wang Qian's life, you will know that Wang Jian is a late bloomer, and he has not made many achievements in the golden grade of a general.
Wang Jian is unknown in history, and only later generations have written his birth and death years. Before Qin Wangzheng ascended the throne, there was almost no record of Wang Qian's life, except for a few notes in Fan Ju's biography mentioning Wang Ji's participation in a small military operation by surprise.
According to this record, it can be known that Wang Jian was already a low-level non-commissioned officer in the army at that time. Then Wang Jian is at least seventeen years old. Moreover, Wang Jian was already a veteran when he destroyed Chu, and he was at least fifty years old.
Later historians deduce that Wang Jian was probably born around 287 BC. According to this account, he was in his forties and approaching fifty years old when he achieved his first battle that can be recorded in the history books.
And he also has a record of "serving Qin Wangzheng", that is, when Ying Zheng first became the king of Qin, he was still a close attendant and was not qualified to lead troops.
It can be seen how long he survived to get out.
In this era, even if you are an aristocrat, it is estimated that you can close your eyes and wait for death when you are about fifty years old. Wang Jian only came to prominence at this time, and in the long wait, you can imagine his mood.
Although Wang Jian has survived for ten years, he still can't see any hope of getting ahead at the age of thirty, and Wang Jian has no less doubts about himself. Zhu Xiang picked him out from the crowd at a glance, not only excitement and gratitude in his heart, but also a sense of redemption that he was about to give up but was recognized by a very powerful person.
Zhu Xiang shook his head, and Wang Qian's favorability soared to two and a half hearts.
He got goosebumps as he looked at the favorability list.
Although he is very grateful for Wang Qian's favorability, but so suddenly, he has a strange feeling of meeting the friendship version of love at first sight.
General Wang, it's just a recommendation, not so much.
He Zhu Xiang didn't expect that Wang Qian, who was scheming and calculating in history, was actually such a righteous man who knew how to repay his kindness!
"Although you are Zichu's guard, we are of similar age, and we will be officials together in the future, and we can be regarded as friends. Cook for you in the future, my skills are good! Although Zhu Xiang had goosebumps, he immediately climbed up the bamboo pole to consolidate his friendship with Wang Qian.
Zi Chu waited for King Qin's ship to be offshore for a long time before rubbing his dark circles and yawning. Yesterday, he accompanied King Qin to rub mahjong until midnight, King Qin's spirit was still very good, and his whole person was not good: "Zhu Xiang, you are very optimistic about Wang Qing?" Do you want to make friends as soon as you meet? β
"Qing" is an honorific title for people who have been officials, and Zichu uses the title to show his respect for Wang Qian.
Zhu Xiang said: "Don't you believe my level of looking at people? Wang Jian is a strong candidate to compete with Li Mu for Wu Anjun. β
Zichu complained: "You can't call it the level of looking at people, you can no longer call it the level of looking at people." Those witches and alchemists are not accurate to you. Wang Qing and Li Mu have similar talents? Why didn't you say this to Li Mu? I want to see Li Mu's distorted expression. He has always regarded Wu Anjun as something in his pocket. β
Ying Xiaozheng played a round game: "The teacher is named Wu'an, and General Wang is named Wucheng, and Wucheng is also very good." β
In the dream, he planned to make Wang Jian the Marquis of Wucheng (at this time, the feudal monarch was the feudal marquis), but when he was about to adjust the policy, Wang Jian was already dead.
In the dream, there were four feudal kings of his dynasty, namely his middle father, his mother's lover, and two Chu relatives who rebelled against Qin. All four were killed by him.
I was very depressed at the time and decided not to be a marquis again.
However, after unifying the world, the awkwardness in his heart disappeared, so he instructed the court to change the standard of the marquis, never thinking that General Wang would not live to that day.
In the dream, I felt a little guilty, and patted my head, since the merits of Wang Jian and his son were enough to be a marquis, he gave Wang Qian's son a separate marquis, so that Wang Qian's grandson could inherit the title that originally belonged to Wang Qian. So the Wang family has a father and son and two kings, and they are extremely prominent.
Ying Xiaozheng believes that he will not have the same psychological burden as in his dreams. He must have given Wang Jian the title of marquis early.
Although the teacher is very powerful, but the battlefield of Qin's unification of the world is not one, and the more powerful generals the better, isn't it just a feudal monarch, and he can't afford it.
Zichu looked down at his short son and said in disgust: "You are still the great-grandson of King Qin, so you want to give people the title of king?" β
Ying Xiaozheng picked up his little short hand and raised his chin to look at his sick father: "Why can't you think about it?" β
Wang Jian was full of sweat on his head.
What's going on? Why all of a sudden? Although he envied Li Mu, who had already worshiped the general, he never thought of competing with the general Li Mu, don't suddenly say anything he wants to grab the title of "Wu Anjun" with the general Li Mu, he doesn't want to offend people!
Moreover, Gongzi Chu and Gongzi Zheng actually said that they would personally crown him as the king, and they also chose the title, and King Qin is still there! What are you going to do! Do you understand that woe comes from the mouth?
Wang Jian felt a burst of dizziness in his head, and he was about to fall.
Zhu Xiang patted Wang Jian on the shoulder: "In the future, if you follow Zichu, you will encounter the current scene many times, just get used to it." β
Wang Qian: What is the habit of "......"? Are you used to comparing me, a retainer of the prince of Qin who has not yet made military merits, with a general? Or are you used to saying behind the back of the King of Qin who will be crowned the queen of Qin in the future? I don't want to get used to it!
"Okay, General Wang has just joined us, don't give him too much stimulation." Zhu Xiang said, "You two be reserved and adjust your attitude to the appearance of facing outsiders. β
Zichu: "Okay." β
Ying Xiaozheng: "Oh. β
Wang Jian continued to break out in a cold sweat: "I'm not a general...... "Don't call me a general!"
Zhu Xiang said: "Then I will continue to call you by your name, and you will also call me by my name." Let's go, go home for dinner! β
Zichu: "Hmm. β
Ying Xiaozheng: "I want to eat sweet and sour fish!" β
Zichu: "Don't eat fish." β
Ying Xiaozheng: "I have to eat." β
Zichu: "Don't eat." β
Zichu led Ying Xiaozheng, his IQ suddenly decreased, and he argued with his son about whether to eat fish at night.
Wang Qian's steps were vain, and he couldn't walk a little.
He seems to be a little unconfident about being the retainer of his son-in-law Chu.
"Just get used to it." Zhu Xiang is still there as a repeater.
Wang Jian was even less confident.
No matter whether Wang Jian has confidence or not, and how much he is stimulated, he is already Zichu's retainer, so he can only be like Zhu Xiang, a repeater, said, "Just get used to it".
Wang Jian suffered from insomnia for several days, and the only consolation was that Zhu Xianggong's cooking skills were really first-class, and the food he cooked was very delicious. He was also of aristocratic origin, and had eaten a lot of delicious food, but it was the first time he had eaten such a delicious meal.
Zhu Xiang loves to take care of people very much, and Zichu and Zheng'er will also prepare one for Wang Jian if they have it.
Wang Jian could feel that Zhu Xiang said that it was not polite to regard him as a friend, and he really took care of him as a friend.
Even Wang Jian thought in the dead of night, let alone friends, even most relatives would find it difficult to be so kind and considerate as Zhu Xiang.
At least except for his old mother, no one stared at him every day for a bite of food, whether he should add or remove clothes, his face seemed wrong, whether he recognized the bed or not.
Zhu Xiang even saw that his clothes were not suitable for the local area, so he asked people to remake a few clothes, shoes and socks for him.
Wang Jian looked at Zhu Xiang's kind expression, and then looked at Ying Xiaozheng who shrugged his shoulders, and always felt that Zhu Xiang did not regard him as a friend, but as a nephew.
Could it be because Gongzi Chu is weak and needs to be taken care of, and Gongzi Zheng is young and needs to be taken care of, so Zhu Xiang habitually leans on Gongzi Chu and Gongzi Zheng in his attitude towards all his friends?
It's horrible......
"Just get used to it." Win small politics.
Wang Jian wanted to cover his ears, he was already afraid of hearing the words "just get used to it".
Zichu privately "ridiculed" Wang Jian to Zhu Xiang: "He's really powerful?" Why do I think he's a little too honest? β
Zhu Xiang almost laughed. Honest? You say that this old general of the Qin State who can make Qin Shi Huang drive overnight and hug his thighs is honest?
"He's just not used to it." Zhu Xiang said, "Wait for him to get used to ......"
Zichu said: "'It's good to get used to it'." Don't say it, I'm almost throwing up. Didn't you see him turn pale when he heard you and Zheng'er sing me and 'just get used to it'? β
Zhu Xiang couldn't help it, he laughed out loud.
