Prince Guang of Ulsan and his party became stars at the reception banquet held by the King of Wu. At the beginning of the banquet, Prince Guang was called by the King of Wu to sit next to him, and Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui were also arranged at the front right. Even the great general of hussars sat under the two of them.Prince Zhao, the heir of Wu, sat on the left side opposite Zheng and Chu.

"My child respects my father and king, may my father live longer than Ulsan, and my king's body will be safe forever." At the beginning of the banquet, Young Master Guang took the lead in toasting King Wu.

"Haha, my Guang'er has literary talent." King Wu was very happy that his son compared Ulsan to his longevity. Ulsan is the tallest mountain in Wu.

Wen Zai, who was sitting next to Prince Zhao, gently pushed him with his elbow. Prince Zhao understood, stood up quickly and toasted in front of King Wu.

"The child also respects the father and the king, and may my great Wu country be prosperous."

"En." King Wu glanced at the prince, nodded lightly, and drank the wine in front of him.

King Wu is old now, what he wants to hear the most is not how the country is, but blessings for his health. Prince Zhao's toast is good, but in King Wu's heart, he is not as sincere as Young Master Guang, who simply hopes that he will live a long life. But Prince Zhao only said that the country is prosperous, and that the state of Wu will belong to the prince himself in the future. Such a toast sounds selfish.

However, even though King Wu was feeling very uncomfortable, he couldn't show it on his face. This was his eldest son, the legal heir of Wu.Even if he is mediocre, the eldest son represents the ruling order, and the ruling order is maintained by a large number of nobles who have already taken advantage of the interests.As the lord of the princes and states, King Wu cannot change this order at will.

After the crown prince Zhao made a toast, the feudal lords and royal nobles who came to the capital to pay their respects got up one after another and drank wine in turn. The king of Wu replied one by one, but he no longer drank heavily, but just sipped his glass to express his meaning.

"Report to Your Majesty! Wang Jie, a well-known scholar of the Xu Kingdom, brought his disciples to seek an audience outside the palace." Halfway through the banquet, a waiter came in with a document.

"Oh, Wang Jie of the Xu Kingdom?" King Wu took the document and read it carefully.Xu State is a small country close to Daqin, in the north of Zhao State.

A document is a document issued by the ruler of the country and used when crossing the border.The people who owned the documents were nobles with status, and apart from businessmen, most of the owners were nobles and celebrities who traveled around the world.Among them, celebrities who traveled around the world would seek to see the monarch when they arrived in the capital, either to show their knowledge to the monarch and royal nobles, or to express their ideological guidelines for governing the country and conducting themselves in the world.Every time these celebrities arrive in a vassal state, they will be warmly received by the monarch. When the celebrities leave, the monarch will affix a seal on the document.

"Teacher, please go and bring famous people to see this king." King Wu looked at the golden seals of the kings of Qi, Lu, Tang, and Wei on the documents, and felt that this famous man named Wang Jie was very favored by the kings of these four countries. Because what is used is not an ordinary seal, but a gold seal that is only used in the national book.He didn't dare to be negligent at the moment, so he quickly sent the Tai Tuo of Wu Guo to meet him.

"This Wang Jie is probably a thinker like Confucius and Mencius." Zheng Yuming approached Chu Chaohui and muttered. After coming to this time and space, Zheng Yuming felt that this time and space was too similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and there should be thinkers contending with all schools of thought.However, he inquired with many businessmen, but he did not find any famous scholars named Confucius and Meng Ke.

"If you don't go to Confucius and Mencius, you can also learn others. This is the inevitable development of history." Chu Chaohui is a good student of history, and he is very familiar with the historical background of the contending schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

During this period, the social structure changed rapidly, social contradictions were extremely sharp, wars among princes continued one after another, cultural thoughts were unprecedentedly active, celebrities traveled around the world to promote their ideas, and the rulers hoped to find a better way of governing. There is a market, and when celebrities travel around, the reception standards they receive are very high.

Not long after the Tai Tuo left, he brought in a dozen servants. The first one was in his early forties, short and thin, with sharp eyes, followed by young people who were not very old.

"Xu Wangjie met King Wu." Wang Jie led his disciples to salute King Wu.

"Sir, you have worked hard all the way, please take a seat." Wu Wang asked the waiter to arrange seats for Wang Jie and his party, which were next to Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui.

"You two have extraordinary looks, what country are they from?" Wang Jie saw Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui with their outstanding looks, and couldn't help but strike up a conversation.

The tiaras worn by Zheng and Chu were not of high grade, but they sat very close to the front. Wang Jie thought that these two were the sons of nobles who had traveled around the world.

"My brothers' hometown is Bermuda, and now they are the governor of Wu Weishan Monarch's Mansion." Zheng Yuming replied quickly.

"Bermuda?" Wang Jie was puzzled. He had never heard of this country. Could it be an unknown small country?

"The country of Bermuda is far to the south, across the sea from Daqin. My brother came to the country of Wu because of the storm." Zheng Yuming took out the nonsense country to deal with.

"Haha, they are now my Wu Zimin, my pillars of Wu." King Wu was very proud that Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming were now his son's officials.

Seeing that Wang Jie was very interested in Zheng and Chu, the Tai Fu quickly told about how Zheng and Chu made waterwheels and paper, and also publicized Chu Chaohui's deeds of winning three times in three matches in the martial arts competition.

Wang Jie is a celebrity, and he was most interested in the invention of paper among these deeds. He took the white paper and studied it for a long time, saying "great goodness" in a series of voices.

"Honorable King, Jie wants to open five lecture halls in the capital, please allow it." Wang Jie came to the capital of Wu to promote his ideas and ideas.

"Yes!" King Wu nodded in agreement, and then turned to Prince Zhao: "Prince! You go to listen to the teacher's lecture on behalf of Gu."

"Obey!" Prince Zhao was very excited. The celebrity opened the lecture hall, and the king of the country was always present to listen to the lecture. Now that the king of Wu is not going, he is sent to replace him, which is also secretly announcing his succession status to the outside world.

After the banquet was over, Zheng Yuming sat in the carriage and asked Chu Chaohui questions. "Zhaohui, why did you deliberately attract attention today?"

Chu Chaohui had always kept a low profile in his work, but today he suddenly became public. Zheng Yuming felt that there was something wrong with it.

"I want a lottery." Chu Zhaohui twitched his lips. "The white horse will be your mount."

"Just because of the horse?" Zheng Yuming's face became slightly hot again, the first time Chu Chaohui picked a white horse, it meant that Chu Chaohui thought of him first.

"Yes! It's just for the horse." Chu Zhaohui's eyes were gentle.

"It's too nonsense." Zheng Yuming was uncomfortable being watched by Chu Chaohui, he turned his face away and turned his gaze out of the car window.

Chu Chaohui is not only for the horse, he and Zheng Yuming only had a pure love at school, which is different.In the 21st century, Chu Chaohui didn't really fall in love with anyone, but his emotional world was very complicated, he met all kinds of people, and Chu Chaohui could tell at a glance the way men thought about men.

Prince Zhao's greedy eyes on Zheng Yuming made Chu Chaohui very uncomfortable.He and Zheng Yuming are in Nanbu, because Zheng Yuming is in charge of external affairs, Zheng Yuming has already made Zheng Yuming too famous.In the Dacheng area, Chu Chaohui was sure that he could protect Zheng Yuming, but it was very dangerous in the capital.Chu Chaohui didn't want Zheng Yuming to attract all the attention. It is better to be a target than two people. That's why when he met King Wu, Chu Zhaohui deliberately fell in love with King Wu and exposed his own strength.

Maybe it was Young Master Guang’s complaints in front of King Wu that played a role, maybe King Wu felt that the feudal lords who came to worship in the king’s capital were not a threat. Young Master Guang and his party returned to the hotel and found that all the tigers around the hotel had withdrawn. , they can move freely in the future.

Young Master Guang thought that the king of Wu knew about Yi Ji's secret interference, so he ordered Huben to leave.Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui felt that because of Wang Jie's arrival, Wu Wang was afraid that Wang Jie would know that he was wary of his blood relatives, so he sent Huben to put the Lord under house arrest. If this kind of behavior spread, it would have a great impact on his reputation.

Wang Jie and his party will hold five lectures in the capital, one session per day, until the Harvest Festival is just over. Invited by the King of Wu, this group of celebrities will leave Wu State to go west to Zhao, Chu and other countries after attending the Harvest Sacrifice. travel.

Because Prince Zhao was present at the lecture, neither Zheng Yuming nor Chu Chaohui went to listen. Only Young Master Guang brought Wei Shen and other nobles there.According to the aristocrats of Dacheng who had listened to the lecture in the museum, the debate on the spot was full of anger, and Wang Jie's opinion was very impressive.Wang Jie traveled all the way and saw that the common people lived in poverty, while the nobles lived in luxury. In his speech, he suggested that the monarch should put the people first and put the people before sacrifices. dominance.If an unkind person with low morality is in a dominant position, he will spread his evil to the masses.

What important influence Wang Jie's lectures had on Wu has yet to be seen, but Prince Zhao, who is ordered to report to the lecture site every day, behaves more gentle and polite now.

After freedom of movement, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui visited the capital twice, and each time they went out in good looks and came back in a state of embarrassment.Zheng Chu and Zheng Chu's outstanding appearance was already eye-catching. Chu Chaohui's deeds of winning three battles in the palace martial field spread throughout the capital city the next day. When the nobles of the capital are keen to listen to Wang Jie's speech, the people of the capital are keen to discuss the governor of Nanbu.

As soon as Zheng and Chu went out, the people of Wangdu immediately recognized their identities, and a group of people quickly followed behind them.Fortunately, Wei Qing was already very familiar with the terrain of the royal capital, so he led Zheng and Chu through the alleys before they got rid of the fanatical star chasers and returned to the hotel. Hiding in the hotel, drinking tea and playing chess.

The Harvest Festival will be in two days. Zheng Yuming is instructing Fan Jin and valley artists to perform in front of King Wu and the nobles at the Harvest Festival.After several months of rehearsal, the valley artists have become very skilled in playing.

"Yu Ming, Yu Kui invited us to a banquet at his residence." Chu Zhaohui came in with a greeting card made of brocade silk.

"Ah?" Zheng Yuming was baffled, Yu Kui came to meet them with makeup yesterday, why did he post a greeting post openly and aboveboard today.

"There is another person accompanying Yu Kui. Yu Kui said it was his housekeeper, and he winked at me while talking." Yu Kui's housekeeper is Da Zhuang, and this person who appeared out of thin air is very strange.

"What's the situation?" Yu Kui, as the two of them's spies stationed in the capital, had to pretend that they didn't know each other in front of everyone. Now that Yu Kui came to send greeting cards without warning, it can only be said that it was not Yu Kui's original intention, but Yu Kui's intention. It was entrusted by others, and it happened suddenly, Yu Kui didn't have time to inform them.

"It's Doctor Jiang." Yu Kui mouthed a letter to Chu Chaohui while the 'housekeeper' was out of sight.

"Why does Doctor Jiang want to see us? Want to hire us?" Zheng Yuming shrugged. If Doctor Jiang wanted to win them over, he was doomed to be disappointed.Not to mention that the positions of Yiji and Doctor Jiang are in turmoil, even if they are stable and safe on the coast of the East China Sea in the future, Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui will not take refuge there, because the valley and Nanbu are already the two of them in this time and space. Capital.

"The car is already parked outside." Dr. Jiang's posture was a bit forceful.

"Then we have to go?" If the two of them didn't go, Yu Kui would appear to be incapable of doing things.

"Go and see Doctor Jiang's intentions, maybe we can better understand what Yi Ji is going to do." Chu Zhaohui wanted to find out.

Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui changed their clothes and got into the car with Yu Kui and the "butler" sent by Doctor Jiang. Yu Kui acted like a flattering businessman in front of the "butler". Chu and Chu are close.The expression was natural and realistic, which made Zheng Yuming secretly praise Yu Kui for his talent as an actor.

Arriving at Yu Kui's mansion, Chu Chaohui found that all the servants in Yu Kui's mansion had been replaced, and even Da Zhuang was nowhere to be seen.Doctor Jiang couldn't openly invite Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui because of Young Master Guang's dislike for Yi Ji, so he could only choose Yu Kui, a merchant's mansion, to meet Zheng Chu.The manpower used in the mansion is all from Jiang's mansion.

"Governor Chu! Governor Zheng! Jiang admires the two great talents, and wants to have a drink and talk with them. In order not to cause Ulsan Lord to hesitate, he chose to entertain the two at Dong Yu's house. Please don't be offended. "Doctor Jiang stood at the entrance of the hall to welcome the two of them.

"It's my brother's honor to favor Dr. Jiang." Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming stepped forward to greet Dr. Jiang. From Yu Kui's mouth, they knew that Dr. Jiang was not a very kind person. The people were not only meticulously arranged, but also extremely polite when they saw them. This abnormality made Chu Zhaohui feel that Dr. Jiang was following orders.

"The two of you, please!" Dr. Jiang invited Zheng and Chu to sit sideways.

"Doctor Jiang, please!" Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui gave way before following Doctor Jiang into the hall.

The hall of Yu Kui's residence is often used to entertain guests, and the hall is gorgeously decorated.The table was filled with fine wine and delicacies, and several young maids knelt behind the banquet and prepared to serve them.

Apart from the host, only Yu Kui was present at the banquet. Dr. Jiang did not arrange for his disciples and cronies to be present.During the banquet, I only had ordinary chats with Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, and did not lobby them to change hosts as Zheng Chu and the two had expected.

"Ah! Slave should die." A young maid knelt beside Chu Chaohui and kowtowed repeatedly. When this maid came to pour the wine just now, she poured the wine on Chu Chaohui.

"Hey! The lowly servant girl is reckless, drag me down and beat me hard." Dr. Jiang put his wine glass on the table, with an angry expression on his face.

"Damn the slave! Damn the slave! Please forgive me." The maid kowtowed even more fiercely.

"This maid was just careless, not on purpose. Please don't punish me." Chu Zhaohui could tell at a glance that this maid poured wine on him on purpose. The knock was fierce, but there was no tremor in the whole body.

"Governor Chu is kind-hearted, why don't you thank Governor Chu?" Dr. Jiang first praised Chu Chaohui for his magnanimity, and then ordered the maid to thank him.

"Thank you, sir, please move to the inner room with the slave, and the slave will change the clothes for you."

Looking at the accident, Zheng Yuming intuited that there would be something to this accident. Now that the maid invites Chu Chaohui to change clothes, does she want to seduce Chu Zhaohui while changing clothes?Thinking of this, Zheng Yuming stared at the maid for a closer look, this maid really has some flair.

"Serve Governor Chu to change clothes well." Zheng Yuming heard Dr. Jiang's order as "serve Governor Chu to go to bed well".

Zheng Yuming hoped that Chu Chaohui would refuse directly, so that the test of seduction would be avoided, but it was a pity that Chu Zhaohui didn't have a sympathetic relationship with him this time, and he happily accepted the maid's invitation, and followed the maid to leave the hall to go to the dressing room to change.
