Emperor Qin

Daliang is prosperous.

On the first day of the tour, Yan Jiang felt the difference here.

Almost all the weapons of the soldiers here are iron. You must know that most of Qin's weapons are still bronze.

The food price in the city is stable, there are not many hungry people, it is lively and prosperous, but the streets are a bit dirty, and the common people defecate freely along the way, which is a problem that cannot be solved in ancient cities-Qin is better, after all, throwing ashes on the road is punishable .

After resting for a day, Yan Jiang wanted to meet Wei Wangzeng, but Wei Wang refused because of his inappropriate status.

His Majesty the Maotouying smiled at the side. It has already heard it quietly. Someone has combined the Heavenly Punishment of the Yan Kingdom and the Heavenly Thunder that Yan Zi attracted in Daicheng. Just in case, the King of Wei, Said to the left and right: I don't want to see Yan Zi at all.

So Yan Jiang chose the next best thing, and wanted to go to the tomb of Lord Xinling to worship.

The young master naturally agreed, and the two chatted about the demeanor of the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period.

"Mr. Xinling is the head of the four gentlemen. Jiang has admired him for a long time, but unfortunately the journey is far away. By the time he reaches the Central Plains, there will be no Lord Xinling in the world." Yan Jiang said regretfully while drinking.

"In a world of great disputes, there will be great battles. Now that there is a strong Qin ruling the world, how can the four gentlemen be able to return to heaven?" The young master pretended to drink a cup and sighed.

"If you don't try, how will you know? Now Daliang doesn't know how to meet gentlemen and supporters?" Yan Jiang asked curiously.

Keeping doormen was the favorite of these sons, prime ministers, and generals in the Warring States Period, but he came to Daliang for a few days, and he didn’t see many of them. It’s worse than Handan, so Guo Kai will not say it, and Gongzi Jia has not lost his power. At that time, I also raised dozens of them.

Back then, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji raised thousands of followers, and even when King Wei was unwilling to save Zhao, he simply took thousands of followers to rescue Handan.

The young master pretended to be a little helpless when he heard the words, organized his words, and then said lightly: "After Wei lost Dongjun, Hexi, and Yandi, the land was very insufficient, and the officials were exhausted. Naturally, it is difficult to support hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

So, without land, can't afford to support so many idlers?

Yan Jiang couldn't help but glanced at His Majesty, and His Majesty looked back calmly - so what if the widow has robbed most of Wei's land, if he has the ability to snatch it back by himself.

So Yan Jiang said with regret: "It is so, but I have seen Wei Guo's private studies all the way, it should be that there are countless good talents."

The young master's false smile became more and more reluctant: "Qin has an order to seek talents, and all talented people from Wei State are happy to enter Qin, and there are few who wish to stay in Wei."

Yan Jiang took another look at His Majesty, seeing what you have done, I will not be able to talk today.

His Majesty happily ate a piece of meat, and took a sip of the wine in A Jiang's cup, feeling very happy.

Yan Jiang was helpless, and continued to talk to the young master in a false way: "Young master, you don't have to regret it. As long as the business is prosperous and the treasury is full, you will be able to seek talents again and get famous people who can flourish the land."

The young master pretended to stare at Yan Jiang, and the young man scrutinized his brows before he said cautiously: "Qin first went to Han, and then Zhao. Now 30 Chen soldiers are in Yan. Now the world is terrified, and the caravans going to and from Daliang Compared with last year, it has been reduced by more than half."

Yan Jiang was even more embarrassed, almost unable to answer, but changed the subject and said: "My lord, why bother, I saw the city wall guards today, they are all rare and elite, even the Qin army is far behind."

His Majesty tilted his head to one side, and said nothing. Those soldiers are pretty good, but...

"This is the military soldier of Wei. He was a soldier trained by Wu Qi in the past. It is his honor to be in the eyes of Yan Zi." That is, the armor of three attributes of clothing, wields a crossbow of twelve stones, carries fifty arrows, puts the dagger on it, wears a crown and a sword, wins food for three days, and travels a hundred miles in the middle of the day. The pilot test will restore the family."

Yan Jiang nodded in admiration, this is the earliest special soldier in the world, wearing three layers of heavy armor, carrying a crossbow weighing twelve stones, carrying fifty arrows on each person's back, and carrying Ge and three days of food, one day After walking a hundred miles, such a soldier can be admitted as a soldier of Wei, and the country will give the best treatment if he is admitted. No wonder he looks stronger than the Qin army.

"In the past, Wu Qi led 64 Wei soldiers, sweeping the world, 50 battles, big and small, and victorious in every battle!" The young master pretended to be arrogant, "In the battle of Yin and Jin, he defeated Qin's [-] people with [-], and his name is recorded in history. No one can beat it!" Compared to."

Yan Jiang continued to admire: "I wish I could see Wu Qi in person, and then—"

He stopped suddenly, he remembered, Wu Qi was driven away later, and the person who led Wei's soldiers, if I remember correctly, was Pang Juan, that's right, the senior brother who framed Sun Bin and dug out the kneecaps of his junior brother, and then Sun Bin fled Going to the state of Qi, relying on the strategy of reducing the army to be able to read Chinese textbooks in Ma Ling, send 20 Wei soldiers and senior brother Pang Juan to the blue sky together.

The state of Wei was bleeding heavily at that time. Fortunately, the king of Wei was able to bend and stretch, and immediately professed his minister to the king of Qi.

Thinking of this, the young master's fake smile instantly became formulaic, and he calmly diverted the topic away: "Later, Wu rose to attack Chu, and Chu became stronger because of it. I heard that Yan Zi likes to travel to other countries. I don't know if he will visit Chu. ?”

Yan Jiang thought for a while and said, "Not yet."

"That Yanzi missed the great mountains and rivers," so the young master faked a smile, and began to talk about the benefits of Chu to Yan Jiang Anli, "Chu has vast mountains and rivers, countless scenic spots, and even witch doctors and witchcraft. Open your eyes."

If His Majesty hadn't inquired about the news yesterday, Yan Jiang would definitely be attracted, but after hearing this today, the young master's fake behavior was very deliberate, Yan Jiang couldn't help but said: "I have heard that Chu and Wei are very at odds?"

Compared with the tiger of Qin, the border between Chu and Wei is the largest. Since the two countries were established, there have been constant disputes over the two lands of Song and Lu, especially the homeland of Song. Both Song and Lu were destroyed, but Song was the The most prosperous country of commerce in the world, Lu is an advanced country with a scientific research tree like Luban. If the two countries were willing to reform in the past, they might not be so easily eliminated.

The young master had never encountered such an uncooperative guest before, and the smile on his face could hardly be held back. If Yan Zi was just an ordinary scholar, he would have ordered him to be thrown out of the country long ago—no, calm down, calm down, not to mention him It was Qin Wang who ordered the six kingdoms to treat people kindly, and it was his own ability of divine punishment, so he couldn't touch it easily.

So the young master pretended to take a deep breath, and reluctantly said: "Yanzi doesn't know something. Although the six kingdoms are in chaos, it's just a moment of anger. A little dispute is a trivial matter. It goes without a trace. Besides, personal grievances are like slander Other countries are not for a gentleman."

Yan Jiang then went downhill on the donkey, and praised the son's false broad-mindedness.

The young master pretended to say: "Furthermore, Lord Chunshen is still here in the state of Chu. If Master Yan wants to see the four gentlemen, he must hurry up. Lord Chunshen is old, and no matter how late, he may not be able to see him."

In fact, Lord Chunshen was gone two years ago, but it doesn't matter. In this troubled world, it is common for news to be inaccurate. The state of Chu is very big, enough for him to travel for two years.

Yan Jiang Wenzi's expression was quite moved. He thanked the young master and said that he went to Chu State to see him after he paid homage to the tomb of Lord Xinling.

The young master was overjoyed: "In that case, I will take you there tomorrow."

Yan Jiang sent the young master to go out on leave. After seeing him go out, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came back, he looked a little bad.

"I don't think there will be a day when I will be rejected." Yan Jiang was slightly displeased at being retained by the princes, and rubbed His Majesty's head, annoyed, "It's still your Majesty who has vision and knows my talent."

His Majesty grunted in satisfaction, that's needless to say.

On the other hand, Youzhan next to him smiled wryly, filled Yan Jiang's wine, and said softly: "Ten years will pass, I don't think the king of Wei is still afraid of soldiers like a tiger."

"Why is this?" Yan Jiang was surprised. Celebrities are excellent talents who govern the country. How could the prince be afraid?

Youzhan was well-informed, so he sighed: "Mr. Xinling is highly virtuous, and all the countries say that he should be the king of Wei. The previous kings were naturally afraid of him. Later, after Mr. Xinling stole the amulet to save Zhao, he was afraid of the punishment of the previous king. He lived in the State of Zhao for several years, and during this period, in order to prevent another Lord Xinling from appearing, the former king strictly ordered all the officials in the court not to support scholars."

Yan Jiang understood that the former king of Wei lived under the shadow of Lord Xinling all his life, and the shadow area in his heart was almost infinite. In addition, Wei Wuji's operation of stealing talismans was too flamboyant—who was the one who helped him steal the soldier talismans?It's my beloved little wife!

Who opened the door for him?It is the defender of Daliang!Who was the general he killed after he won the soldier talisman?He is his confidant and favorite general!

One can imagine how horrified King Wei would be after this incident.

He can order his own harem favorite concubine to move, and this is just stealing amulets. What if he poisons her or cuts off his own head?

Not to mention the mobilization of the army later, as long as Wei Wuji had the slightest intention to seize the throne, he would already be a ghost!Maybe he even gave himself a green hat, and as a substitute, Yan Jiang felt that if he were King Wei, he would definitely not be able to tolerate him.

If you want to add all kinds of operations, King Wei will definitely not trust Wei Wuji.

Youzhan continued: "After Mr. Xinling returned to the country, in order to protect himself, he drank and had fun every day. He died three years later. Since then, the domestic status has been suspended for several years. Most of the Wei Kingdom is a clan. Recommend talent, so far, there are few celebrities in the court."

"No wonder." Yan Jiang sighed faintly, "No wonder there are few famous ministers in Wei after the Ziling Lord."

Mr. Xinling has a great reputation and reputation, so celebrities naturally voted for him, but would the king of Wei dare to use the person he recommended?

Inevitably, you can only be a counselor under Lord Xinling, and when Lord Xinling is over, King Wei will not allow another Lord Xinling, so he banned the clan supporters.

This has become a vicious circle. If a celebrity wants to become an official in the court, he needs prestige and recommendation, and the latter is even more important. You can't even see the king of Wei. How can you show your PPT?How to speak eloquently?

It was impossible, so Yan Jiang felt that he seemed to have found the reason why Wei Guo offered land to feed Qin for peace.

"Youzhan, do you want to learn from Chunyu Kun?" Yan Jiang asked curiously as he saw him pouring water on the table to carefully copy the copybook he had given him.

Chunyu Kun was a famous official of Qi State, but also a dwarf of humble birth.

"Don't dare, it's just that people value self-knowledge, Zhan only hopes that this body is useful, and that he is not in vain." Youzhan whispered.

Yan Jiang smiled slightly: "So, you can go to Qin State to have a try later."

Youzhan said shyly, "Thank you Yan Zi."

Yan Jiang nodded, and continued to give His Majesty the favor.

……

The next day, the son pretended to send luxury chariots and horses, soldiers and beautiful maidservants to send Yan Jiang out of the east gate to the cemetery of Lord Xinling.

The cemetery is only thirty or fifty miles away from Daliang, and the feng shui is good. There are ten families guarding the tomb. Moreover, it is still very crowded here. Many carriages lined up to worship. past.

"By the way, these few days are the anniversary of Lord Xinling's death." Youzhan suddenly thought.

"It's better to come early than coincidentally." Yan Jiang smiled, "In that case, let's get out of the car and go. Huahua don't move around in the car, I'll be back later."

He patted the big tiger, Huahua lay obediently on the car, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yan Jiang stood up in satisfaction, but he heard a gasp from the car.

"Youzhan, what's the matter with you?" Yan Jiang lifted the curtain of the car and stretched his head to look.

"It's okay, I just fell accidentally, thanks to the help of this strong man, I didn't fall." Youzhan is short in stature, and it has been raining again in the past few days, and the road is slippery in rainy days. Fortunately, someone helped him.

Yan Jiang looked at the young man who dared to help the old and the young, and thanked him.

The young man looked tired and lazy, and with a smile that made people feel good at the first sight, he said something trivial, then sat leisurely on the frame next to him, holding a grass in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mr. I am a scholar, and I am a small citizen, so I should not thank you sir."

This scholar is also kind, and he brought such a villain who is less than three feet tall, isn't he here to add trouble?

Yan Jiang took Youzhan and walked along the convoy, and heard the young man behind him say to the car: "My lord, it's difficult to get into the frame for a while, it's going to be late, and we have to go back to Waihuang tomorrow." , do you want to get off the car to worship?"

"That's right, let's leave it at that." A deep voice behind him said, "Liu Ji, you are carrying the sacrifice."

The young man responded enthusiastically.
