When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 563 The Qin State has too many cutting-edge talents, and Wei Liao joins the Qin State for the first time

Cai Wu was startled. The aura exuded by the young king in front of him shocked him, and he subconsciously looked at Lu Buwei, who was at the head of the civil servants.

At this moment, the old god Lu Buwei was there, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was a bit of light in his eyes.

It is now the eleventh year of the Qin Dynasty. Lu Buwei has unknowingly turned fifty-six years old, over fifty. For Lu Buwei, who has not practiced martial arts, this age can be regarded as half a foot in the coffin. However, these years As Ying Zheng took over the power and Wei Zhuang took away part of the power of the prime minister, Lu Buwei's burden was also reduced a lot.

Since the fall of Zhao State, Lu Buwei has almost become a hands-off boss. He is only responsible for general issues. He no longer does everything himself, but leaves things to the right people. However, the efficiency has been greatly improved, and the final results of the matter have been greatly improved. It's no less personal than Lu Buwei's.

There is no way, there are too many talents in Da Qin now.

With a heroic leader and a group of wise ministers, Lu Buwei felt that in the future Ying Zheng would have to worry about who should give the position of prime minister.

Whether it is Wang Wan, the imperial censor, Li Si, the Tingwei Qing, Zheng Hanfei, the Tingwei, Ma Xing, the newly appointed governor of Su Nei, Sikong Ma, the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office on the right, or Mi Qi, the governor of Shangjun, and Mi Dian, the prefect of Taiyuan. , Neishi Cheng Feng Quji, Nei Shi Wei Feng Jie, these people all have extraordinary talents to serve as prime ministers of a country. Even Meng Wu's second son Meng Yi has shown some talents. He is young and smart, and his efficiency is naturally high. Outrageous.

But there are only two carrot pits, so in the future Ying Zheng may have to worry about who to appoint as prime minister.

But thanks to this, Lu Buwei's energy and energy have been much better in recent years than in previous years. Under the care of Yang Qing, the new leader of Fang Jijia, he seems to be rejuvenating.

Looking at the old and strong Lu Buwei, Cai Wu's eyes fell on Ying Zheng on the throne.

He had met Ying Zheng. It was seven years ago when he came to Qin to deceive Lu Buwei. At that time, Ying Zheng was just a puppet with no power. He was a young boy, but now he has destroyed the Three Kingdoms. The current hero.

And Ying Zheng also has the old and strong Lu Buwei beside him, and there are countless wise ministers and fierce generals. The Yan State...maybe there is really no possibility of defeating the Qin State.

Thinking of this, Cai Wu couldn't help but sigh secretly, lowered his head, bent down to salute, and replied with a respectful attitude: "Foreign minister Cai Wu, on the order of King Yan, came to make peace with your country."

"How to make friends?"

Ying Zheng's sharp eyes fell directly on Cai Wu through the pearls on his crown. His expression was solemn and his words were sharp, with no intention of leaving any face to Yan Guo.

The so-called friendship, to put it bluntly, means surrender, and surrender means surrender, but he put on such a face-saving look, which made Ying Zheng very unhappy. Moreover, he did not think that the Yan State was sincerely surrendering to the Qin State.

"The King of Yan is willing to serve the King of Qin with the courtesy of serving the Emperor of Zhou in the past. I will accept the imperial seal and please become a vassal minister!"

Cai Wu was a little embarrassed by Ying Zheng's straightforward words, but he was not someone who was obsessed with fame.

Wise people are pragmatic, while fools strive for false reputations.

Since King Xidu of Yan decided to temporarily surrender to the Qin State in order to observe the current situation in the world, then why should he, the Prime Minister of the Yan State in charge of diplomatic relations, care about these false claims? He simply named "I accept the land's seal, please be a vassal minister." Eight words.

"King Yan wants to become our great Qin vassal?" Ying Zheng asked knowingly.

"When the king asks you, foreign ministers should report the truth truthfully. Now the Qin State has destroyed Han and Zhao, and its military power is shocking in the world." Cai Wu said with a calm face, neither humble nor arrogant: "My king often laments that the world has been in chaos for seven hundred years and the people have suffered. In the current situation, only the King of Qin can hope to unify the world and save the common people from the war. My king does not want to go to war with Qin, but also feels the kindness of your king, so my king wants to imitate the ancient sages and stop the war with the whole country. , extinguish the flames of war, and contribute a small amount to peace in the world."

These words immediately raised Yan Wangxi's situation a lot. It seemed that Yan Wangxi did not feel that there was no chance of winning against Qin, but was willing to be subordinate to others like the ancient sages.

"And to show his sincerity, my king wants to offer the place of Dukang as a congratulation, and also offer the heads of Zhao's ministers who fled to Yan. I wonder what King Qin wants?"

Cai Wu slowly raised his head, wanting to see Ying Zheng's expression.

This is not for future generations. Even if it is to express awe, there is no need to lower your head to look at the toes of the superiors. It is not rude to raise your head. However, when Cai Wu's eyes fell on Ying Zheng's face, it was those pairs of shoes that met his eyes. Eyes as sharp as an eagle, and a playful expression.

"What do you think of your country's Prince Dan?"

Ying Zheng smiled faintly, and that smile made Cai Wu feel as if Ying Zheng had seen through what Yan Wang Xi was thinking.

As for Yan Dan... Yan Dan has indeed been opposed to surrendering to Qin, and the same is true for ceding territory. Many staunch anti-Qin elements have been gathered in Liaodong, trying to find a way to reunite.

Although many people in the Yan Kingdom were optimistic about Yan Dan and believed that this wise prince could turn the tide, just like Lord Xinling in the past, who organized a coalition and carried the banner of anti-Qin, Cai Wu really did not think highly of Yan Dan.

It is true that Yan Dan has gathered anti-Qin people from three religions and nine schools under his command. However, those people are mostly composed of greedy, corrupt but unwilling princes and nobles from Korea, Wei and Zhao. In the final analysis, there are no talents at all. As for those three religions and nine schools, they are just some The market is so rough that it is really incomparable to the former followers of Lord Xinling.

Not to mention that Yan Dan does not have the prestige and means of Lord Xinling, even if a joint vertical is really organized, Yan Dan will definitely not be able to command this joint army.

Do you really think that Lord Xinling can take command of the coalition forces on the battlefield? That was the result of the function of the army and shogunate formed by the talented people in Lord Xinling's palace. Without the efficient operation of the entire Lord Xinling's palace, how could Lord Xinling be able to play with the hundreds of thousands of coalition forces?

Even if Yan Dan is given the opportunity to command hundreds of thousands of allied troops, he will probably repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Chadai where the 600,000 Yan troops were unable to command and were defeated. .

"Prince Dan is virtuous and virtuous, and he is on good terms with the King of Qin. Naturally, he is willing to submit to the King of Qin."

Although he was not optimistic about Yan Dan, Cai Wu didn't mind telling lies.

After all, even if Yan Dan fails, it will be his personal behavior and will not affect the entire Yan country.

"So good."

Ying Zheng did not continue to ask, but just stopped.

"I have received the sincerity of King Yan. After today's banquet, the envoy of Yan can return to the country as soon as possible to deal with the matter of 'accepting the land's seal and asking him to be a vassal minister'. We, the Qin State, will certainly treat King Yan generously!"

……

After the ceremony of the nine guests, Cai Wu immediately said that he would rush back to Yan State overnight to ask the King of Yan to accept the imperial seal as soon as possible. Ying Zheng also showed his sincerity and personally sent Cai Wu out of Xianyang with generous gifts.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to return to the Qin Palace, a well-worn man carrying a bulging luggage hurriedly rushed towards Ying Zheng's king's carriage from the crowd on both sides.

If we had followed the normal procedure, someone would have yelled "There is an assassin". However, several snare killers lurking in the crowd immediately put knives on the strong man's neck and other vital parts, as well as dozens of others. The Snare Killer holding a powerful crossbow was lurking on the roofs on both sides. The crossbow arrows with cold light were pointed at the strong man, and there was no need for anyone to shout.

"Don't do anything, I'm not an assassin, I have a plan for King Qin!"

The strong man shouted, and immediately turned his eyes to Li Si, who walked out of the car behind and was about to sentence the assassination case.

"Brother Si, do you ever remember my old friend Liaozi when you traveled south in the past?"

Li Si was shocked when he heard this. He quickly stepped forward to check the strong man held by the killers, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, brother Liao, why are you here?"

"As expected, Brother Si, it's all a misunderstanding!"

The acquaintance of Li Si and Wei Liao was entirely an unexpected encounter.

In the past, Li Si was studying in Lanling. He left Cangshan Academy and returned to Shangcai to visit his wife and children.

Li Si's family was originally fairly well off. The family owned more than a hundred acres of high-quality paddy fields, a mulberry garden and several orchards on the east bank of Ru River, which were managed by Li Si's parents. Then Li Si, who had been extremely intelligent since childhood, was sent to Shangcai. A school for enlightenment literacy.

After the Enlightenment, Li Si Shao was successful in his studies and could read and write, so he was promoted by Cai Shou and became a subordinate official in the county magistrate's office who recorded the incoming and outgoing accounts of the official warehouse.

A few years later, Li Si, who had been crowned, had already become a shrewd and experienced subordinate. If things go on like this for a long time, it will almost be just around the corner for Li Si to become a powerful official like a miser (in charge of money) in the county office.

However, Li Si did not seem to be satisfied with this. He studied hard on his own in his spare time. He read all the simple policy documents that he could find, knew the general trend of the world, and generally understood that the Chu State was a dangerous country with constant civil strife. Even though Even if you are a powerful official, you may be swallowed up by unprovoked storms at any time.

However, what touched Li Si the most was the understanding of his life destiny brought by the mouse's situation. Every time Li Si went in and out of the official warehouse, he often saw huge fat rats swinging leisurely between the pillars of the grain storage corridor, munching the official grain and squeaking and playing. Their full and full appearance was enviable. When entering the hut and toilet, the rats often scurry around under people and dogs, struggling to find food but rarely getting enough, and squeaking in fear all day long to escape. Comparing the two, Li Si sighed deeply: "The virtuous and unworthy of people are just like rats, they all depend on where they are!"

From then on, Li Si made the simplest judgment: to change his destiny, he must leave his place, leave Shangcai, and even leave the state of Chu.

Finally, in the year after being crowned and marrying his wife, Li Si heard that Xunzi had entered Chu, and with the help of Lord Chunshen, he pretended to be the magistrate of Lanling County but actually opened a school to educate people.

Li Si did not hesitate for a moment, resigned from his position as a subordinate official, settled his wife, traveled thousands of miles to Lanling Cangshan, and worshiped Xunzi's disciples.

In the world's words, Li Si began to "learn the art of emperors from Xun Qing".

But at the beginning, among Xunzi's disciples, Li Si was just an ordinary disciple who studied hard and was not taken seriously. His family background was not deep. Li Si could not read many books, but he met Wei Liao who was studying abroad by chance. Dewei Liao temporarily borrowed all the books in his luggage from Li Si to copy, which allowed Li Si to gradually stand out from Xunzi's disciples. Only then did he follow Xunzi all the way to Songhai City in Qi State to establish the Xiaoshengxian Village to continue his studies. Tingweiqing Li Si came out.

In other words, Wei Liao is a person who has great kindness to Li Si!
