Wang Jian wanted to hold back his laughter, but he still couldn't hold back the shaking of his shoulders.

This time the debate ended hastily, and the winner won the small government.

Ying Xiaozheng climbed on Li Mu's back and laughed.

Li Mu picked up Ying Xiaozheng and threw it around twice, scaring this bad disciple who dared to use a discordant trick on the teacher.

Zhu Xiang shook his head with a smile and looked up at Mingyue, who was missing.

Zhao Guo...... Pingyang-jun and Xinling-jun are still in Zhao State, are they okay?

It's definitely not good.

……

Zhao Guo.

Pingyangjun knelt in front of the haggard Xinlingjun with a pleading face.

Xinlingjun only drinks and does not look at Pingyangjun.

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao lowered his head and said, "Xinlingjun, please save Zhao Guo." ”

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji burped and said dejectedly: "I can't even save myself, how can I save Zhao Guo?" You are the clan relative of Zhao State, King Zhao trusts you, aren't you very good at being the prime minister? ”

Zhao Bao smiled bitterly: "I'm only a shallow learner, so it's not good to be a good student." ”

After the death of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, Zhao Bao took on the important task of Zhao Sheng's former auxiliary state.

After a few blows, although King Zhao woke up and barely had the appearance of a virtuous monarch, his body collapsed and he could not bear government affairs for a long time.

King Zhao changed his previous suspicions, deeply trusted Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun, and handed over most of the government affairs to the two cousins.

In order to make up for the loss, Pingyuan Jun died tired in office and achieved a lifetime of fame.

It's not that Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao doesn't want to emulate his brother, it's just that he really can't compare to his brother in managing politics and knowing people, and he is powerless.

He visited Xinlingjun many times, hoping that Xinlingjun would be able to serve as the minister of Zhao. But Xinlingjun was disheartened by the suspicion of the King of Wei, and spent his days drunk and refused to sober up.

The two sat relatively dry, and Zhao Bao thought that he would return again in vain this time.

At this time, a guest from Xinling Jun hurriedly arrived, and presented a prayer post with a complicated face.

This prayer post is made of paper.

A few years ago, the Qin State gradually replaced bamboo and wooden slips with paper, and although other countries followed suit, papermaking technology was a problem. Although they were able to steal technology from the Qin State, it was too expensive. Except for Zhao Guo gritting his teeth to keep up, all other countries have given up.

For the aristocracy, bamboo slips and wooden tablets were not much different from paper. They don't care about the cost.

However, Zhao Guo has too many places that need to be checked and filled, so there are not many paper workshops, and paper has not yet been popularized. Especially for the worship post, the aristocracy preferred to use wooden and bamboo signs. The paper is used as a prayer post, and only the people of the Qin State are there.

Xinling Jun said angrily: "The greetings of the people of the Qin State, throw it out!" ”

The doorman said in a low tone: "It's a messenger sent by Zhu Xianggong." ”

Xinlingjun and Pingyangjun were both stunned.

After being silent for a long time, Xin Lingjun put down the wine bowl, asked people to bring water, tidied up his appearance, washed his hands full of wine, and changed his clothes before taking the thin greeting.

Pingyangjun looked at Xinlingjun's rare and neat appearance. Although Xin Lingjun was still drunk in his eyes, he seemed to see the high-spirited appearance of Xin Lingjun in the past.

What Zhu Xiang sent was not so much a letter as a letter.

Zhu Xiang learned from the favorability system that after Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng passed away, he always wanted to send a gift of condolence.

It's just that Zhao Guoji is not mourning, and he can't say why he knows that Pingyuan Jun has passed away.

Lin Gong really gave him a dream, can't he say that Pingyuanjun also gave him a dream? Therefore, when the King of Qin learned of the death of Pingyuan Jun, he sent a gift of condolence.

This came and went, and when his gift arrived, Qin Wangzhu was about to leave the filial piety period.

Zhu Xiang originally wanted to send the gift directly to Pingyuanjun or Pingyangjun, but after thinking about it, he was an important minister of the Qin State to send gifts to the Zhao clan, and he was fine, I was afraid that the nobles of the Zhao State would have to make irresponsible remarks again, which would affect Pingyuanjun and Pingyangjun.

It happened that Xinlingjun was in Zhao State, and he was Pingyuanjun's wife and brother, so he sent the gift to Xinlingjun's mansion and asked Xinlingjun to hand it over.

At the same time, he also had a lot to say to Shin Lingjun.

After Xinlingjun handed over this short letter to Pingyangjun, he personally went out to greet the envoys sent by Zhu Xiang.

There are not many servants around Zhu Xiang, and he has always used the people of King Qin. This time, he rarely let the few servants in the family go on a personal trip. This servant had seen Xinling-kun and Pingyang-kun, although neither Xinling-jun nor Pingyang-jun remembered him.

The servant was dressed like a merchant and kept a low profile.

After he had given the gift and another thick letter, he stopped talking, and only answered when Shin Lingjun asked questions.

His words and deeds showed Zhu Xiang's sincerity - Zhu Xiang sent people to mourn as a friend, and it had nothing to do with the Qin State.

In addition to the valuables that were in line with the etiquette of the time, the gifts sent by Zhu Xiang also included pumpkin seeds and planting methods.

This is the behavior that King Qin agreed to after he reported to Qin Wangzhu.

Pumpkins can save the famine, but they can't be stored for a long time, and they are not easy to transport, which can not only save Zhao Min, but also make it difficult to become the food of Zhao Guo's army. So Qin Wangzhu is willing to sell this good thing and give himself a reputation for benevolence and righteousness.

The State of Qin was officially preparing to fight the world, and Qin Wangzhu was different from King Qin Zhaoxiang, and he recognized Xunzi's words as "the teacher of benevolence and righteousness". If you can brush up on a good reputation and make the Qin army encounter fewer difficulties when taking the Six Kingdoms, why not brush it?

It doesn't take much manpower and material resources to brush up on fame, so it can go hand in hand with preparation.

Zhu Xiang said this euphemistically in the letter, telling all the advantages and disadvantages of pumpkins.

After Pingyangjun passed away, he rarely showed a look of crying and laughing.

"He is still the same Zhu Xiang as before, and he has not changed." Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao remembered the not so good past with Zhu Xiang, and his eyes were filled with tears when he looked at the pumpkin seeds, "Even if he is already a Qin minister, he still remembers the common people of Zhao State." ”

Xinling Jun said: "The difference in position does not change my friendship with him." Let's see what he persuaded me. ”

Xinlingjun asked people to arrange for the envoy sent by Zhu Xiang to stay, and handed over all the other gifts to Pingyangjun, and only took out Zhu Xiang's thick letter.

Pingyangjun was very worried that Zhu Xiang would lobby Xinlingjun to enter Qin, so he wanted to know more about Zhu Xiang under the pretext of wanting to know more about Zhu Xiang, so he was cheeky and stayed.

Xin Lingjun did not debunk it, but did not show his letter to Pingyangjun.

He just told Pingyang Jun that he would never enter Qin.

"Because the next target of the Qin State must be Han Wei." Xin Lingjun said with a cold expression, "The Wei State doesn't want me, I am still the son of Wei." ”

Pingyang Jun fell to the ground, feeling uncomfortable.

Xin Lingjun came to the study that he hadn't been to for a long time, lit the honey candle, and was in a trance for a while before opening the letter written by Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang went straight to the point, without too many greetings, and talked about some interesting things after he entered Qin.

For example, the dissatisfaction of the other party, such as Li Bing's water control, such as going south to farm.

He did not write anything confidential in his letter, and the things he told were already known to the Emperor of Xinling. He only gave a detailed subjective description of these matters from the identity of the parties.

For example, against Fang Shi, he didn't use any supernatural means, but just debunked the opponent's tricks.

Also, when he opened the mountain with Li Bing to build a dike, Zhu Xiang hid the gunpowder, but wrote about the cracking of the rock by thermal expansion and contraction, and then complained that there were no monsters in the way at all.

Cutting down mountains and destroying temples is also just to exterminate some bad people who have risen up through religion, and no gods and demons have appeared.

"My martial arts are general, Xunzi often scolds me for rotten wood, how can I have the ability to kill the demon beast evil god."

Shin Lingjun laughed.

He really believed that Zhu Xiang had this ability, and it turned out that the real situation was so "simple".

The outside world used false rumors, which made Zhu Xiang, an honest man, a little embarrassed to listen to it.

Wei Wuji and Zhu Xiang are just one side. But some friendships are like love at first sight, and only one side can make people remember it for a lifetime.

Wei Wuji knew that he was like this to Zhu Xiang. Now that Zhu Xiang responded to him, he was very happy.

It's a pity that the king of Qin will not let Zhu Xiang leave the Qin State, and he will not enter Qin. He and Zhu Xiang will probably never be able to drink again.

The interesting story in Zhu Xiang's letter made Wei Wuji's mood a lot easier, and his guard was lowered a lot.

After all, he hated the Qin State, and Zhu Xiang was a favorite minister of the King of Qin, although he admired Zhu Xiang, he was also a little worried about what the King of Qin would do with Zhu Xiang's letter.

Now it seems that Zhu Xiang was indeed very favored by the King of Qin, and the King of Qin agreed that Zhu Xiang should write a letter with his own heart.

The Zhu Xiang that Wei Wuji saw was the "Great Sage Zhu Xiang" who already had a trace of gray hair and a withered face, and he had never seen the lively Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang's letter gave Wei Wuji a glimpse of the true inner being under Zhu Xiang's aura of great sage.

Wei Wuji once met Lin Xiangru and Lian Po after Zhu Xiang left Zhao State, and listened to the second elder talk in a nostalgic tone, Zhu Xiang was a lively and troublesome "child" in private.

Judging by the tone in the letter, Zhu Xiang is indeed a very free and hearty person, and he should be very compatible with himself.

Wei Wuji rubbed the letter paper, imagining the appearance of Zhu Xiang who came out of his heartache.

Zhu Xiang rambled on a few pages, sometimes forgetting the preface after writing the afterword, and told the things he had said again as if he were in a hurry, and Wei Wuji couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it.

After turning another page, Zhu Xiang finally began to persuade him to cheer up, as he thought.

As a friend, how can I not persuade myself to cheer up after such a long letter?

All the people who had an old relationship with Wei Wuji wrote to persuade him, and even the Qin State had an old euphemism to persuade him to go to the Qin State.

Wei Wuji read the interesting things Zhu Xiang said, and now his mind is very relaxed, and he did not directly throw away these pages of letters like he did with the letters that others persuaded him to cheer up.

"You want to go back to Wei but you can't, it's hard to get rid of the depression in your heart when you are a leader in other countries, which is very similar to a junior next to me."

Wei Wuji raised his eyebrows. Who else is like yourself? He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anyone in the six countries who dared to be on a par with him.

Of course, what Zhu Xiang said was Han Fei.

Although Han Fei is a side branch of the Korean clan, now the title of "Gongzi" is not only the son of the monarch, as long as he is related to the monarch, he is called Gongzi, so Ying Xiaozheng was also the son of Qin when he was still the great-grandson of Wang.

Even non-clan feudal lords can be called sons, such as Chunshenjun, one of the four princes of the Warring States.

If Zhu Xiang is cheeky, he can also call himself a son, but he can't be called "Gongzi Zhu Xiang".

Han Fei is related to King Han, but he can be called "Gongzi Fei".

In the letter, Zhu Xiang praised Han Gongzifei's talent, wrote about King Han and the ministers of the Korean court, and disdained Gongzifei.

Seeing Zhu Xiang write in the letter, Gongzi Fei wrote to King Han for several years, King Han only felt annoyed and directly rejected Gongzi Fei. Wei Wuji smiled bitterly.

He doesn't know if this son Fei is really talented, but this treatment can indeed be said to be miserable.

Zhu Xiang said again, although King Han and Dr. Han Qing both despised Han Fei, Han Fei still came all the way to Xianyang to worship Xunzi as a teacher and seek a strategy to strengthen the country.

Wei Wuji smiled and shook his head: "Zhu Xiang is probably modest." That Han Fei was definitely going towards him. ”

Zhu Xiang seemed to know that Wei Wuji would say this, and deliberately emphasized that Han Fei really worshiped Xunzi as a teacher, and had nothing to do with him, so don't put gold on his face.
