On the second day, as soon as they went to the court, the ministers of Qi saw that Mencius, Chun Yuji, Song Yu, Su Zheng and others were coming, and there was a female general who was fully armed and wearing armor by their side. If you look closely, this female general has a strange and ugly face, which makes people unbearable to look at it more, and the ministers are all surprised in their hearts, and they don't know what happened. When everyone was talking, the king of Qi was about to enter the dynasty, and after the ministers saluted and worshipped, the king of Qi said:

"Yesterday, I discussed with the princes, and talked about a talented woman in the Qi country, who is a saltless person, called Zhong Lichun, both civil and military, Wen is not under Meng Ke, and Wu is not under Kuang Zhang, so I am specially summoned to see you today!

"The folk girl Zhong Lichun knocks to see the king!" Zhong Lichun stepped forward and saluted King Qi.

When Tian Bijiang saw the female general in front of him, his heart was furious, and he didn't want to look at her more, and then said:

"I heard that you can be civil and martial, and if you are not a prince, you will not marry, but there is such a thing?"

"Returning to the king, this is true!" Zhong Lichun replied.

"Who are you, Mr. Wang Chan?

"It's a family teacher!"

"Since you are from Guigumen, you must have some real skills?"

"The folk girl doesn't know what the true skill of the king means, but I want to ask the king first!"

When the king of Qi heard this, he was stunned! The ministers below were even more stunned when they heard it, thinking that although this woman was ugly, she had no stage fright, and she was very calm in front of so many people, and asked about the king.

"True ability is real talent and real learning, and it can't compare to those tricks that deceive people!" King Qi replied casually.

"In the past, Senior Brother Sun Bin Maling reduced the stove, can it be regarded as a deception? Can it be regarded as a real skill?" Zhong Lichun asked Lian.

"This┄┄" Tian Pijiang didn't know how to answer for a while, and thought about it:

"This is the art of war, there is fiction and reality, although there is deception, it is also a real skill!"

"In this way, whether there is real ability or not, it has nothing to do with deception or not, only success or failure?"

"Heroes have always been judged by success or failure, and the ability to fail is naturally not the real ability!" replied King Qi. The people below heard that King Qi had a good answer, and they all nodded one after another.

"Then let me ask the king, now that the king governs the Qi country, will it succeed or fail?" Zhong Lichun asked.

"I'm afraid it's hard to say success or failure!" Tian Pijiang hesitated.

When the ministers heard this, they also felt that this question was difficult to answer, and success or failure was difficult to say, it was in the hearts of the people.

"The king's answer is right, the world is impermanent, and it is often difficult to say success or failure! Therefore, the level of skill cannot be generalized! It is like a tiger being bullied by a dog, how can it be said that the skill of a dog is higher than that of a tiger?" Zhong Lichun Zhenzhen said with a rhetoric.

When the ministers heard this, they found it difficult to refute. After hearing this, King Qi also felt that this woman was really extraordinary, and his opinion of her immediately changed.

"The girl is eloquent, not what we are good at! Ke has a sentence that I have been puzzled about, and I want to ask the girl today!" Mencius stepped forward and said. Since someone boasted that she was not under Mencius, Mencius naturally wanted to speak.

"Sir, please!" Zhong Lichun said.

"In the past, Lao Tzu said: 'The Tao can be the Tao, but it is not the constant Tao!' is both the Tao and the non-constant Tao, how can the world be Taoist? If the world is not Taoist, what is the meaning of the existence of the Tao?" Mencius asked.

When the ministers heard this, they began to discuss it, and felt that this was a problem.

"Let me ask you, sir, did you come first or did someone come first?"

"The Tao lives with heaven and earth, and naturally there is the Tao first!"

"Since there is a Tao first, the Tao does not seek people, but people seek the Tao! It's like Mr. pursues Zhongli, but Zhongli doesn't look down on Mr., is Zhongli wrong?"

When Mencius heard this, he didn't know how to refute it, and when the ministers heard it, many people laughed.

"Since we talked about the precedence, the folk girl has something I want to ask Mr. about it!" Zhong Lichun said.

"Girl, please speak!"

"Birds lay eggs, eggs lay birds, eggs lay birds, and birds lay eggs!

When Mencius heard this, he couldn't help but touch his forehead, not knowing how to answer. The ministers began to talk again, and for a time they could not argue. Tian Bijiang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find an answer, so he smiled:

"This round of Mr. lost! Who else has to speak?"

"The girl is from Guigumen, I have a question to ask!" Su Yu suddenly came out and said.

"Who is the gentleman?" Zhong Lichun asked.

"Under the donkey!" said proudly.

"Sir, please speak!"

"In the past, Pangu opened the world, and Fuxi fixed yin and yang, but there were yin and yang of Qiankun, Gendui, Zhenxun, and Kanli, how to explain this?"

"This is the meaning of mutuality, chemical education, antagonism, and the same root!" Zhong Lichun said without hesitation.

"Well, that's good!" Su Xiao shook his head and said:

"Let me ask you again, since the man is yang and the woman is yin, is the woman with a baby boy in her womb yin or yang?"

"Negative yin and embrace yang, impulsive and peaceful!"

"Well, I'll ask you again┄┄" Before she could ask, one of them suddenly interrupted:

"Come on, come on! Don't ask, it's a bit of a grinding thing to ask! Just now, the king said, since the girl can be literate and martial, why don't you come out with some real skills!"

"The general doesn't want to move his mouth, does he want to do it?" Zhong Lichun saw that the person who spoke was tall and had a big face, but he was a military general, and he thought that he had some martial arts, so he deliberately excited.

When that person heard this, he was also in the right place! This person is Tian Pan's son Tian Weak, a general of Qi State, who has always refused to accept Kuang Zhang. Tian is weak and strong, strong in martial arts, because he was very strong when he was a child, Tian Pan named him "weak", just hoping that he can show weakness, not be strong!

"I want to do it, but it's a pity that the girl is only one person, if you can have a few helpers, it won't be that I bullied you!" Tian Qiao's meaning is obvious, he is saying that Zhong Lichun is just a weak woman, and it is not interesting to defeat her!

"Listening to the general's tone, if the two of us compete, the general will win?"

"Of course!"

"Does the general want to compare fists and feet or swords?"

"Girl, choose!"

"The sword has no eyes, so as not to hurt the general, let's compare punches and kicks on the spot!" Zhong Lichun said disdainfully as he looked.

"But you found it yourself, then let's compare!" Tian Qiao said and put on a posture.

As soon as everyone heard it, the sword was still cheap, but this punch and kick relied on hard kung fu, Tian was weak and strong, and there was no need to compare when looking at this competition!

"Come on!" Zhong Lichun shouted loudly, not at all like a woman. Zhong Lichun was originally wearing armed armor to the court, and at this time, a shout shook the court, and everyone saw her heroic and majestic, and they had long forgotten that she was an ugly girl.

The two of them fought each other with their fists and feet in an instant, Zhong Lichun did not dodge or dodge, and he was hard at all with Tian Qiao, and he did not fall behind at all! Everyone was surprised in their hearts, they originally thought that she was going to use some kind of trick and trickery, but they did not expect that she would be inseparable from Tian Qiao's hard fight! King Qi was also shocked at this time, and he could never have imagined that she, a little weak woman, could have such brute force and hard kung fu!

The two fought for a while, Zhong Lichun suddenly turned around and punched Tian Qiao's left waist, Tian Qiao's face was wrinkled, Zhong Lichun lifted his leg and kicked Tian Qiao's back. Tian Weak stumbled and couldn't stop, fell to the ground, and fell very embarrassed.

Everyone laughed, Tian Qiao quickly got up, and the angry look on his face was about to fight again, and the king of Qi stopped when he saw this:

"Come on, the general will stop here!"

Seeing this, Tian Miao had no choice but to retreat, although he lost face, he couldn't help but admire the ugly girl in front of him. In this battle, Zhong Lichun really won Tian Weak, and everyone had nothing to say. Song Yu saw that the ministers were talking about it, and most of them were praises for Zhong Lichun, so he stood up and said:

"My lord, but can you compare it any further?"

"It's better than !" King Qi said, but it was not a taste in his heart.

"I've seen this mouth and fist and foot kung fu king, does the king want to try Zhongli girl's swordsmanship or archery?" Song Yu said deliberately.

King Qi looked at the courtiers in the hall, and saw that everyone was speechless, so he said to Kuang Zhang:

"Kuangzi! it's up to you now, don't let the widow be embarrassed!"

Kuang Zhang didn't know what he meant by "embarrassed", so he stepped forward and said:

"The last general has always admired Sun Binzi, the girl is his junior sister, and the art of war strategy is naturally not bad, this one doesn't need to be compared, the last general admits defeat!"

"Compare! must compare! must compare!" King Qi hurriedly said.

Everyone was puzzled, and Song Yu stepped forward to explain:

"Don't be surprised, my lords, this is the case! Yesterday we had an appointment with the king, if Miss Zhongli can defeat Mencius and General Kuang, the king will marry her and make her his queen!"

As soon as the ministers heard that this was not a trivial matter, they immediately began to discuss. Tian Pijiang is ready to fly at this time, since he just saw Zhong Lichun's fist and foot kung fu, his heart is no longer as confident as it was at the beginning!

"That being the case, the last general will obey the fate!" Kuang Zhang said after hearing this.

"General, please!" Zhong Lichun said to Kuang Zhang.

Sun Tzu said: Those who cannot be defeated will be defended, and those who can be victorious will be attacked. When Mozi was alive, he often talked about 'non-attacking,' which is why he was saying that he would abide by the rules of the city! However, Taigong Jiang Shang often took the initiative to attack with troops, attacking more with less, and attacking more with weakness, but he could always win without victory, why is this?" Kuang Zhang asked.

"The Mohists talk about 'non-attacking,' but it is due to benevolence and righteousness, not the art of war! The number of soldiers does not mean their strength or weakness, and the strength or weakness is often only the appearance and will be replaced in an instant! The Taigong has few people and has his heart, and he is few and strong; and the weak soldiers have his momentum, which can be described as a strong attack, how can he not be victorious!" Zhong Lichun replied.

"Well, that's a wonderful answer, that's wonderful!" said Kuang Zhang, rubbing his beard.

"The past is too far away, and I will consult the general with what is in front of me! During the Battle of Xiuyu, King Zhao repelled the 200,000 army of Lizi with less than 30,000 horses, if this battle was changed to a general, he might repel 200,000 with 30,000? How to defeat it?" Zhong Lichun asked.

Kuang Zhang thought for a while and said:

"It's difficult, it's difficult! Lizi is known as a 'wise man', and he is also a master of using soldiers, and it is difficult to defeat him by ordinary means, let alone such a huge disparity in strength!"

When King Qi heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said:

"Think about it, think again!"

The people below also talked a lot, thinking that it was indeed too difficult to win 200,000 with 30,000! Lizi stationed 200,000 troops in the wilderness, and if it weren't for the thunder and fireball of the Zhao army, the Qin army would not be able to do anything!

"I can't make that thunder fireball, I admit defeat!" Kuang Zhang thought for a while.

"Aiqing┄┄Aiqing┄┄!You┄┄!, how can you just admit defeat like this!" King Qi said hurriedly.

"The King, the King, is today's matter decided?" Song Yu immediately stepped forward and asked.

King Qi bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said to Zhong Lichun:

"Kuang Zhang can't make a thunder fireball, can you make it?"

"The thunderbolt fireball, also known as the thunderbolt fireball, is made with thunderbolt gunpowder to the center of the stone ball, and the vines soaked in oil are wrapped around its outside, and when the outer fire heats the stone ball, the gunpowder inside the ball will cause the stone ball to burst, the explosion sound is amazing, and the power is huge! If the king wants, the people can make it for the king tomorrow!"

When King Qi Xuan heard this, he was extremely depressed in his heart, and felt that it was meaningless to say anything more, so he had to close his eyes and keep silent, deliberately pretending to be asleep.

"Is the king asleep?" Song Yu stepped forward and asked.

When the ministers saw that the king deliberately did not answer, they laughed secretly in their hearts, thinking to themselves who would like to marry her? Even if she had the ability, the king would not want to marry her, let alone make her his queen!

Song Yu saw that King Qi was pretending to be asleep, and it was not good to step forward to pull him, so he was helpless, so he was so anxious that he said to the ministers:

"What's going on here!"

"The king is asleep, I'm afraid I'm going to disperse!" Su Qin yawned.

"This! If this king doesn't talk about dispersing the dynasty, we won't be able to leave!" said a courtier.

At this moment, everyone heard Zhong Lichun say loudly:

"The king of enlightenment! the people don't have to marry the king!"

When King Qi Xuan heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, sat up straight and said:

"What┄┄What did you say?"

"The people admire the king, but they don't have to marry the king!" Zhong Lichun repeated.

"What do you want, the widow agrees, you are a talented woman, and the widow will reward you heavily!" King Qi hurriedly said when he heard that she didn't have to marry.

"Although the folk girl swears that she will not marry each other if she is not a prince, she must also marry a person who is sincere and opposite, so that the two can be happy and stay together! At this time, the folk girl has not seen the king's sincerity, but she can't say that she will marry, even if the king wants to marry the people's daughter, the people's daughter can't easily agree!"

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but snicker, thinking to themselves that just like you, the king will marry you, and you won't be ashamed?

"Zhong Lichun's words are very much in line with my wishes! This matter of a man marrying a woman is a major event in life, how can it be used as a bet, and yesterday's words will be withdrawn!"

Song Yu was anxious when he heard this, and thought to himself Zhong Lichun, what the hell are you doing, you finally got the king in, but you solved the trap for him yourself!

"The king's words yesterday have been withdrawn, and today's words are still counted, right?" Zhong Lichun asked lightly.

"Count! Of course count!" King Qi thought to himself, as long as you don't want me to marry you, you can count everything!

"Folk girl, please have dinner with the king, in order to increase mutual understanding between the two of us!" Zhong Lichun asked.

King Qi thought to himself, this is not a difficult matter, no matter how ugly you look, I just don't look at it or eat it!

"Okay, okay tonight?" King Qi thought again, Grandma, you can leave quickly after eating, I don't want to know you!

"This is the dinner of the king and the people's daughter, the king should choose a good place, prepare more wine and food, don't neglect the people's daughter!" Zhong Lichun suddenly smiled and said softly, listening to everyone's numbness.

"Of course, the girl is a heroine among women, and a dragon and phoenix among people, and it is a blessing for the king to be able to have a meal with the girl!" King Qi said pretendedly.

"Alright, it's all right, the king will carry me in a sedan chair later!" Zhong Lichun said happily.

When everyone heard her voice, they couldn't bear to look at her face, thinking to themselves, the king has always been so beautiful, even if it is a dinner, it is enough for him!

In the evening, King Qi really prepared a dinner party and asked someone to carry Zhong Lichun to the palace in a sedan chair. Although King Qi hated Zhong Lichun's appearance, he still sincerely admired her talent, so this dinner party seemed very sincere and very rich.

Zhong Lichun had already changed into civilian clothes at this time, and King Qi both entered the table, King Qi was far away from her, only glanced at her slightly, sat alone on the side, and never dared to look at her again.

"It's best if the king doesn't look at the people's girls, the people's girls don't like to be watched when they eat, can the king let them stand farther away!" Zhongli Chun said.

"You all stand far away!" King Qi said to a few people who were waiting.

Zhong Lichun ate alone for a while, and suddenly aligned with the king:

"Why doesn't the king eat? But you don't have a good appetite?

"No need, no need! the widow is not hungry, you can eat!"

"The king dislikes the people because the girls are ugly and can't eat?"

"No, no! The widow ┄┄ the widow is indeed not hungry!" King Qi said embarrassedly.

"If the folk girl is a great beauty, is the king willing to marry the folk girl?"

"The widow ┄┄ the widow doesn't love beauty, and the widow's concubine is enough!"

"The folk girl is actually born a beauty, but she was in a hurry when she was about to go to court today, and she didn't have time to dress up, so the king disliked it!"

When King Qi heard this, he didn't even want to answer, and thought: You have it, how can a beauty be born like you!

"The folk girl was carefully dressed up when she came just now, would the king like to take a closer look at the folk girl?"

"I've seen it, the girl is naturally beautiful, talented and beautiful, and the widow can't climb it!"

"Father-in-law, the king doesn't want to look at me, don't you want to look at it either?"

At this time, the other subordinates were standing far away, and a father-in-law stood beside King Qi. The father-in-law also disliked Zhong Lichun's ugliness and didn't want to look at her, so when he heard her scream, he had to raise his head and look at her. My father-in-law was startled when he saw it, where is this ugly girl, she is simply a big beauty!

"Look, look!" said the father-in-law.

"Hey, what are you looking at, just look at it!" King Qi said impatiently.

"Beauty, great beauty!" said the father-in-law as he pointed to Zhong Lichun.

King Qi felt that something was wrong with him, so he casually raised his head and looked in the direction of his father-in-law's finger, and he was also startled. I don't know when, the ugly girl Zhong Lichun in front of him disappeared, and a big beauty stood in front of him.

"Who are you┄┄you┄┄?" King Qi said in surprise.

"I'm Zhong Lichun!"

"You ┄┄ you ┄┄ You are Zhong Lichun?"

"yes!"

King Qi took a closer look, frowned and thought about it, and then asked his father-in-law:

"No one else has been here, has it?"

"No!" replied the father-in-law.

"So she's really Zhong Lichun?"

"Yes!" replied my father-in-law.

"No, no!" King Qi pointed at Zhong Lichun and said:

"This must be the ugly girl's plan to steal the beam and change the pillar, you are definitely not the ugly girl!"

"I'm the ugly girl, the ugly girl is me!" Zhong Lichun said to the fair:

"Go and call a few of the guards outside the door and tell them to come and get me!"

When the father-in-law heard this, he looked at the king of Qi, and the king of Qi understood, and thought that it was good, the ugly aunt's kung fu could not be faked, so he asked the father-in-law to go out and call someone.

Zhong Lichun took out a piece of brocade silk from his body and covered it on his face, King Qi didn't know what he meant, and when he saw a few guards coming, he shouted:

"Take her down for me!"

Several guards rushed towards Zhong Lichun, and Zhong Lichun knocked them all down with three punches and two kicks. These guards are all guards in the palace, and they are all good at kung fu, but they are vulnerable in front of Zhong Lichun. King Qi was shocked when he saw it, and suddenly secretly happy in his heart, and shouted to several guards on the ground:

"Get out of here, shame on you!"

"The king is credible now?"

"Believe it! It's all clumsy, and they don't know Mount Tai if they have eyes, please punish the beauty!" King Qi immediately apologized to Zhong Lichun.

Zhong Lichun took off his veil and said:

"Would the king like to take a closer look at the maidens now?"

When King Qi heard this, he really stepped forward to take a closer look!

"The king can take a closer look, don't look away again!"

"I'll take a closer look!"

"Will the king marry me now?"

"Yes, yes, very willing!"

"Everyone in the world calls me Zhong Lichun, but in fact, I also have a milk name, called Xia Yingchun. If the king wants to marry me, he must marry Zhong Lichun and Xia Yingchun!"

King Qi was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked:

"What does this mean? Please make it clear to the beauty!"

"Everyone in the world knows that Zhong Lichun is an ugly girl, and the king marries Zhong Lichun only because the king loves talent! After the king marries Zhong Lichun, the name of love for talent spreads far and wide, and all the talents in the world will definitely come to the king! Therefore, the king can only marry Zhong Lichun, and Zhong Lichun can only be an ugly girl in front of the world! Xia Yingchun is the king's beloved concubine and the king's beloved woman, and Zhong Lichun is not the same person!"

When King Qi heard this, he felt that she was right, so he said:

"I'm afraid I'm going to wronged the girl!"

"Today's events, don't talk to outsiders!" Zhongli Chun said.

"You can come over later!" King Qi said to a few subordinates.

The subordinates approached, and the king of Qi ordered:

"From now on, you wait to serve the girl with you, and this matter must not be preached, otherwise you will not be spared!"

"Do as the king commands!" said the men in unison.

"When will the widow be able to marry the girl?" asked King Qi with a smile on his face.

"When does the king say that when will it be? From today on, the people's daughter will be the king's woman!" Zhong Lichun threw a wink at King Qi and said.

King Qi saw it really at this time, the beauty in front of him had good facial features, tall figure, bright eyes, and heroic spirit, compared to his current harem fat powder, it was a completely different flavor, and this flavor was the most intriguing taste he felt.

Originally, Zhong Lichun and Xia Yingchun were not the same person, Zhong Lichun was born in Wuyanyi in Qi State, and Xia Yingchun was Mei Sheng's eldest disciple. Xia Yingchun was the eldest disciple of Mei Sheng, and she was also the identity of the master of Mei Sect, and she was already nearly forty years old at this time, and she had learned countless things, not just good at Mei Shu! Mei Sheng intended to lay out the Seven Kingdoms one by one after Qin Chu and Zhao State laid out, and at this time she learned that Qi State had a "Tianfu Sect", so she arranged for Xia Yingchun to go to investigate, and by the way, she planned the layout in Qi State. Xia Yingchun found Song Yu and inadvertently talked about the saltless girl Zhong Lichun, so in the name of Zhong Lichun, he staged a good show. And the real Zhong Lichun has been picked up by the people in Meimen at this time.

A few days later, King Qi and Zhong Lichun became married, and everyone in the world was telling the story of King Qi Xuan marrying an ugly girl. Soon after, King Qi willingly deposed the original queen and officially established Zhong Lichun as queen.

Zhong Lichun won the back position with his own strength, won the hearts of the people of Qi, and did a lot of good things for the people of Qi, and the king of Qi always thought of Zhong Lichun first when he encountered difficulties. Xia Yingchun became the favorite concubine of the King of Qi by virtue of her beauty and charm, and Tian Bijiang, the king of Qi, went to her for fun whenever he had spare time! How did the world know that these two people were actually the same person! The story has been passed down for thousands of years, and to this day, the poem "There is nothing to do with Zhong Wuyan, nothing to do with Xia Yingchun" is still quoted by people's legends!
