Great Qin State Teacher

He is dazzled?

Or did he recite it wrong?

Xu Fu frowned slightly, twitched his fingers and paused there, he turned around suddenly, and almost swept the bamboo slip beside his hand into the brazier.A hand stretched out from the side to grab the bamboo slip narrowly.Xu Fu returned to his thoughts, turned his head and saw Wang Liu standing by his side.

Xu Fu's eyes swept over the water by his hand and the brazier by the table.

Are they all sent by Wang Liu?

"Thank you."

Wang Liu didn't speak, turned around and went out, looking not in a good mood.

Who provoked him?Xu Fu was at a loss.But then he suppressed this doubt.

"Jing Muyan, one of the Suzaku's seven abodes...Jing's house is on duty, with many bad luck and bad luck, what you want is not good, and the money is wasted..."

The more Xu Fu went down, the worse his complexion became.

Is he cheating Ying Zheng?

Wouldn't the bad omen go to Qin, and the good omen to Wei?

Xu Fu felt unhappy for a while, even if there was no auspicious omen for Qin State, it could not be returned to Wei State.He wants to see who this man from Korea is!Can afford 28 changes in the stars, and can afford the comet to send the glow!

Xu Fu got up and was about to go out, but when he was halfway there, he stopped again.

Is it still not over now?

He won't see Ying Zheng when he returns to the palace, right?

Xu Fu could only sit down again.

What a mistake!Xu Fu rubbed his eyes.I wasn't too sure in my heart, the sky was full of stars that day, what exactly did I see clearly.Sure enough, if you are not good at something, you cannot pretend to be forceful.Xu Fu looked through the ancient books about astrological records in Fengchang Temple and found records about comets and 28 constellations, but there is no record about the simultaneous changes of these two.In other words, in ancient times, there may have been no such visions, or there may have been visions, but they were not recorded.

After a while, Xu Fu thought of what Wei Liao said, saying that when he was young, he wanted to learn astronomy, fortune-telling, and divination, but he couldn't remember the formulas, and his memory was worse than that of a goldfish.Could it be that he is also being affected now, has his memory degraded?Impossible... Xu Fu patted his forehead, probably because he was dazzled that day and couldn't see clearly.Now I still don't know who the man from South Korea is, so why is he worrying so much?

After finishing the value, Xu Fu returned to Xianyang Palace early, and after a while, Ying Zheng also strode in.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What you said is correct. The Zheng Guo sent by South Korea is indeed quite capable."

Ok?

Xu Fu paused, did he really remember it wrong?Isn't Jing Muyan on duty at all?

Ying Zheng and Xu Fu sat down together, "Guo Zheng is good at water conservancy, and I wanted to send him to Dujiangyan." Ying Zheng paused, and then said: "However, Li Bing is also a very capable person. Putting people together is not only a waste, but may also cause trouble."

People with abilities and talents may not say anything, but they are somewhat arrogant in their hearts.

When two capable people are put together, they will hinder each other instead.

"Zheng Guo proposed to the widow, advocating the construction of water canals to change the situation of food shortage in Guanzhong." Ying Zheng frowned, "But this is not something that can be done overnight, and the widow still hesitates in his heart. He said it so well, But the widow can't trust him rashly."

"What did Zheng Guo do in Korea before?" Xu Fu was curious.To be praised by Ying Zheng, I think it is indeed a bit of skill.

"I used to be a water engineer and participated in the treatment of floods in Xingze..."

Although Xu Fu didn't know where Xingze was, he knew that those who can cure floods are usually capable people.What he remembers most is that when Qin Shihuang was in power, he dug Lingqu and built the Great Wall, which made great achievements through the ages, and he did not know how much benefit he brought to future generations.

Xu Fu didn't know where the Guanzhong was, and he didn't know where the Lingqu was built. Could it be that this person built the Lingcan?So the sky is like this?Otherwise, how can a small water engineer be called a powerful person?

"I don't understand this matter, the king should be cautious." Xu Fu really didn't know anything about this, so he didn't come up with his own opinions to interfere with Ying Zheng, lest it would be a waste of help.

Ying Zheng gave a "hmm" and then smiled and said, "If it's true what Zheng Guo said, then King Han sent a treasure to the widow himself."

Then South Korea is afraid that it will be too late to regret it.

"King Han is cowardly and sent Zheng Guo to Qin. Will the king still attack South Korea?"

Ying Zheng's face turned cold, "I want to attack Wei. When Xian Gong was in power, Wei State was strong and seized the Hexi land of Qin State, and forced our Great Qin to Guanzhong, and then tried to lead the army directly to Guanzhong. Great Qin was about to perish. From one moment to another, Qin State was weak in the past, and Wei State is weak today. It should be returned, and Wei State should be returned today.”

Ying Zheng secretly added that now King Anli of Wei still regards Wei State as the once powerful Wei State.If it wasn't for the fact that Lord Longyang had some abilities and didn't agree with the King of Wei, he would have attacked Lord Longyang first.Although he let Lord Longyang off now, the King of Wei would always bear his anger.

"Then South Korea will let it go?"

Seeing Xu Fu's puzzled face, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Korea won't fight, but they can't let it go. Zheng Guo is nothing. You know, Ah Fu, the king of Han had a son who was from the same sect as Li Si. At that time, the widow had already heard of Han Fei's name, and Han Fei's talent was heard by all countries. Li Si also mentioned to the widow that he had a senior brother who gathered the great achievements of the Legalists and was quite talented. Unfortunately, as the son of King Han, he There is nowhere to display their ambitions. South Korea has no strong generals, and no capable ministers. The only one, Han Fei, if he is asked to come by the widow, then South Korea will weaken on its own within a few years. It will not take much effort from the widow."

"Son of the King of Han? Will the King of Han give it?"

"It's not uncommon to go to another country to be a hostage. The King of Han doesn't want to see this son. If the widow wants to come, he will keep him safe for a while. How could he not give it?"

Xu Fu's expression was a bit complicated, "...If that's the case, then King Han is really short-sighted."

Ying Zheng smiled and stopped mentioning him.

"If Wei is attacked, Lord Longyang..." Will he help King Wei or not?Although he came to Qin State with him, it meant that Qin State did not intend to do anything to Wei State.Lord Longyang is always from the state of Wei...

"The widow will ask him if he is willing to contribute to the state of Qin. If he is not willing, he will either leave Xianyang quickly, or, on the day of attacking Wei, the widow will kill him."

Lord Longyang is amazingly talented, but if he is not only unable to help the Qin State, but instead becomes a serious problem for the Qin State, from the perspective of Ying Zheng, it is indeed more convenient to kill him.

Thinking of this, Xu Fu found that ever since he got involved with Ying Zheng, he only thought of benefiting Qin in everything.Is this a good thing or a bad thing?It seemed to go against his idea of ​​insisting on objectivity.

But... all of a sudden, I want to break the shackles of those rules and be willful for a while... What's wrong with this?

Xu Fu suddenly felt guilty.

That day he was double-standard Dao Wei Liao, but today he seems to be double-standard too.

……

Ying Zheng said that he would ask South Korea for Han Fei, and within a few days, he sent someone to send news to South Korea.

King Han was worried that Qin would attack him, so he could sacrifice Zheng without stopping, so what was Han Fei?After receiving the news, the king of Han was delighted that the crisis in South Korea could be solved, so he immediately ordered someone to invite Han Fei to the palace.

Han Fei was overjoyed, and only when King Han finally paid attention to himself did he tidy up and enter the palace.

He never imagined that he, who offered a plan for King Han, would be sold to Qin by King Han not long after.

Ying Zheng had already caught Han Fei's mind.

Han Fei's talents are not available in South Korea, but he has always refused to go to other countries, which shows his persistence in South Korea.He is loyal to his country, and for the safety of South Korea, even if he thinks King Han's move is extremely absurd, he will cooperate with King Han and is willing to leave Korea and go to Qin.

Ying Zheng didn't know how Han Fei hated King Qin, and neither he nor Xu Fu cared about it.

When Han Fei set off to leave Han, the Qin State Wax Festival was coming again in a blink of an eye.

When Xu Fu went to Fengchang Temple, he accepted the baptism of countless eyes around him.

When Wang Liu came to deliver the brazier, Xu Fu just stopped him, "What happened today? People in Fengchang Temple seem to have never seen me before."

A smile appeared on Wang Liu's face, and he said: "The Wax Festival is coming soon, those who want to preside over it should have a share in Xu Dian's affairs."

But Xu Fu didn't take it to heart, he said casually: "There is a Taizhu in Fengchang Temple, and there is an old Taizhu in the palace, it should not be my turn."

Wang Liu laughed heartily.What is Xu Dianshi's current status, who still can't see clearly?There are many people in Fengchang Temple who think the same as him.After a long time, everyone also knew that Xu Fu often went in and out of the palace.If the wax festival was hosted by Xu Fulai, they wouldn't even feel the slightest surprise.

Perhaps Xu Dianshi brought too many "surprises" to people, and now even if he did something horrifying, it would not be able to cause any shock.

When preparations for the wax sacrifice began, the Taizhu in Fengchang Temple who had participated in the coronation ceremony of the King of Qin had already stated in advance that he was not feeling well, and he was afraid that his body would not recover by then, so something went wrong during the wax sacrifice.Only the old lady in the palace did not make a sound.

According to the usual practice in previous years, if it wasn't the Tai Zhu presiding, it would be the old lady in the palace.It's just that the old lady has really grown older in the past two years, so she doesn't show it to others.This time when Tai Zhu claimed to be sick, the old lady remained silent. Someone laughed and said, isn't this making way for Xu Fu?

The Wax Festival is a major event celebrated by the whole world in the Qin Kingdom. Naturally, there are curious wax festival hosts in the Qin Dynasty.Some aristocratic families also have people in Fengchang Temple, so they naturally attach more importance to this matter.

On this day, Ying Zheng announced Xu Fu's name irrefutably.

The wax priest fell on his head.

At this time, the whole court had already heard the name, Xu Dian, Xu Fu, who stubbornly went to Shu, and then went to other countries with Li Si as an envoy.

Suddenly hearing the name from Wang Shang's mouth, everyone was stunned, and suddenly realized that this person was in Fengchang Temple, and his promotion was too fast.Now such a young grand master is going to take over the matter of wax sacrifice, can he afford it?In terms of seniority, I don't know how many people in Fengchang Temple are older than him.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible..."

"Who is appointed to preside over the wax sacrifice, I just give you a name, not let you decide for the widow." If Yingzheng, who is in power, can't even figure out this point, how can he even talk about sending troops to Wei?I am afraid that there will be many people who oppose it by then.Sooner or later these people had to get used to his uncompromising nature.

Mr. Chang Ping fell ill on the bed not long after he came back from Shu, and everyone was still a little apprehensive. Hearing Ying Zheng's majestic tone at this time, they naturally wouldn't argue with Ying Zheng over such a matter. , Offended the king for no reason.No matter how unconvinced you are in your heart, you have to hold back.Just thinking about another person in the palace who had dealt with Xu Fu...

Li Si stood in the hall, only smiling slightly, accepting the gazes cast on him by those people.

After Xiaochao dispersed, Li Sicai had just walked outside the hall when he was stopped by someone.

"Li Changshi, may I ask where did Xu Fu come from?"

"Did Li Changshi ever know that Xu Fu often went in and out of the palace, could it be...could it be another Longyang of the Wei Kingdom?"

These people usually don't gossip like this. What really touched their nerves was the second Lord Longyang.

Thinking about the current status of Lord Longyang in Wei State, they worried whether Xu Fu would become the second person.Power is always held in the hands of a few people. This Qin King's control over power has already made the ministers of the family dissatisfied.If such a small amount of power is divided up by others, who can tolerate such a thing that affects one's own interests?

No one is willing to pay attention to a male favorite, but a male favorite who has been promoted too quickly, has an official position, and is extremely favored is different.

Li Si knew what these people were thinking, but Li Si was thinking of Xu Fu's recommendation. Without Xu Fu, how would Li Si be where he is today?It was too easy for these people to get the words out of his mouth.

"Xu Dianshi..." Li Sila took a long tone, paused, took the curious and nervous expressions of the people in front of him into his eyes, and then said with a smile: "I only know that Xu Dianshi's master is very powerful."

After saying that, Li Si walked around a few people and strode out.

Several people were stunned.

How is this great?Who exactly did he learn from?Why don't you make it clear...

Not to mention how heart-scratching these people are.

At this time, Xu Fu, who was resting in the palace and hadn't gone to Fengchang Temple, was turning over the bamboo slips in his hand, when suddenly a servant came in, bowed and said: "Xu Dianshi, the old lady in the palace wants to see you. "

Xu Fu's movement of flipping the bamboo slips paused, the old lady?Is that the old lady Bu who got into a dispute with Wei Liao and was highly valued by the previous two Kings of Qin?

Combining the information obtained from Wei Liao and Ying Zheng's office, Xu Fu has already outlined in Xu Fu's mind the image of an old man who is old-fashioned, powerful, and aloof. He lives alone in the palace all year round, and he may have a withdrawn and strange temper.

How did he find himself here?It can't be for the wax festival, right?

Xu Fu made up many possibilities in his mind, then pushed the bamboo slips away, straightened up and walked out.

He straightened his sleeves, stepped outside the hall, and was led by the servant to the old lady Bu's residence.

There is a small tower built in the palace, it is said that it is convenient for the old man to climb up to observe the sky, and the old man lives in the small tower.The high salary really made Xu Fu jealous.But think about it, the old lady lived alone in the small pagoda, but he slept in King Qin's bed, ate King Qin's meals, and played with King Qin's son... Thinking about it this way, his treatment is better.cough.

Xu Fu regained his seriousness.

Although this old lady is not a national teacher, his position is equivalent to that of a national teacher.Speaking of it, this old lady Bu should be his biggest opponent on the way to the national teacher.

In the fortune-telling business, apart from talent and memory, it is more about experience. This old lady has more experience than him, and it is definitely not comparable to Wei Liao, Hou Sheng and others.Otherwise, it would be impossible for this old lady to be kept in the palace and used by the royal family.

After thinking about it, Xu Fu had already walked under the small tower.

The small pagoda was not built very high, and there were two servants guarding the entrance of the pagoda. When they saw Xu Fu coming, they hurriedly smiled and said, "Is it Xu Dian's business? Xu Dian's business please."

Xu Fu followed him in, and saw an old man with white hair and beard wearing a gray robe, sitting in front of the table. Because he was old and thin, his face had more wrinkles, and he was silent. , without even the slightest smile, looks a little shocking.Seeing him, it is not easy to think of Taibu, but it is easy to think of an ancient wizard.

Xu Fu approached, and out of politeness, he still bowed to the person.

The old lady's eyelids moved, and then she pointed to the opposite seat and signaled Xu Fu to sit down.

Having been with Ying Zheng for a long time, Xu Fu's etiquette has improved a lot. He sat down and immediately formed two particularly sharp opposites with the old lady Bu.From the desk case, it seems that one side is dark and the other side is bright.

The boy next to the old lady couldn't help but secretly looked at Xu Fu, maybe he had never seen such an outstanding person in the palace.

"Tai Bu called me here, but something happened?"

The old lady Bu spoke, with a slight accent, her voice was hoarse and rough as if it had been ground by coarse gravel, and it was old-fashioned, "The host of the wax ceremony, I leave it to you."

Ok?

Xu Fu himself didn't even know.Did the host of the wax festival really fall on him?

The old man probably thought that he stole his limelight, right?

Seeing that Xu Fu didn't intend to reply, the old man didn't mind, and continued: "I used to preside over the wax festival, and then I changed to Taizhu in Fengchang Temple. Taizhu will also let you go now." seat."

The word abdication is a bit serious.

The old lady Bu said again: "The Wax Festival is a big event celebrated by the Qin State. If there is a mistake in the Wax Festival, and there will be disasters in the Qin State in the coming year, then the person who presides over the Wax Festival will be condemned."

Xu Fu cursed in his heart.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, how can Taibu or Taizhu be able to control them?Can this pot be carried by the person who presides over the wax ceremony?

The old lady didn't know what Xu Fu was thinking, so she slowly rolled her eyelids, and said: "You are better than that Wei Liao, you know etiquette, you are not arrogant, you should be able to take on this important task..."

Know etiquette, not arrogant...

Is this really about him?Xu Fu couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"I think you have a lot of things you don't understand about this matter, so just come and ask me at that time. You can't make mistakes in the wax festival, do you remember?"

"...Remember." Xu Fu couldn't figure out what the old lady's intention was, but the other party reminded him like this, after all, it was considered kind, and Xu Fu certainly wouldn't have any resistance.

It's just that he thinks it's an errand...

Enough cheating!

Can he put down the pick and quit?
