Emperor Qin

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when it comes to big cities and ancient capitals, Linzi has always been one of the best, few can match.

When the Western Zhou Dynasty was founded, Jiang Taigong established the Qi State in Linzi. Since then, Linzi has always been a famous ancient capital except for being destroyed and the capital was occasionally moved. Xiang Yu was engulfed in a sea of ​​blood when he broke Qi.

At this time, Linzi, although it has been plundered and broken 50 years ago, is still a beautiful and prosperous city, far better than the prosperous capital of Xianyang.

It was already dusk, Yan Jiang finally came out of the house, he combed a few strands of his hair to slightly cover up the red marks that were caught by His Majesty.

Alas, it's such a pity that dear Ah Zheng is immune to his molestation.

The dark sky made the red marks on his face less conspicuous, but the city of Linzi did not cool down because of the sky.

On the contrary, restaurants and wine houses everywhere have become more and more prosperous.

There is wine and music everywhere, and the market in Qi State is very large. Before Tian Dan was restored to the country, he was the market administrator in Linzi. Goods from the six countries were sold here, including pens, inks, paper and inkstones, silk cotton embroidery, swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

Yan Jiang even saw bamboo paper umbrellas.

Out of curiosity, he went to look at the paper umbrella. The shop owner said it was a strange item bought from a man who fled from Chu. Fei.

Unexpectedly, the gadgets he made had spread so fast. Yan Jiang felt a little happy, and took the bird to browse the shops and markets that were about to close. Xianyang's cotton cloth is also available here, and the price is not cheap. of cotton for sale.

Chili, pepper, wine, and even flour and other bulky items are not missing in Linzi. Yan Jiang also met a seller who asked him to taste "Yan Jiang", but he seriously refused, but his majesty stretched out his head to taste it with great interest. With one bite, Yan Jiang had no choice but to buy this small can of soy sauce that was said to be "brewed by Yan Zi himself".

Fearing that His Majesty would buy some "strict paper and strict powder" again, Yan Jiang hurriedly dragged His Majesty out of the market. These profiteers dare to double their sales by adding the word "strict". The guy is crying for tort fees!

When he reached the entrance of the city, he saw a execution platform.

There are dots of black on the execution platform, there is a faint fishy smell, and the flies are densely covered.

A young man passed by the execution platform with a sad expression on his face, bowed to the execution platform in a low voice, begged his ancestors to protect the Su family, and left in a hurry.

Yan Jiang thought for a while, and immediately figured out who this person worshiped.

"It turns out that Su Qin was smashed at the entrance of this market by King Qi's chariot," Yan Jiang couldn't help laughing, "This is the end."

His Majesty showed his displeasure: King Min is stupid, and Su Qin deserves to be killed.

Yan Jiang nodded in agreement with His Majesty's point of view, and after walking not far, he saw some desolate and messy huge buildings, among which people came and went, most of them were people from the Six Kingdoms-their group anxious appearance could easily be compared with the local Qi people distinguish.

And the plaque of this building is impressively - Jixia Academy.

Yan Jiang walked in with the bird in his arms.

In front of the school palace, there was a big tripod, on which was inscribed the matter of Duke Huan of Qi, Tian Wuqiucai’s establishment of the palace, and the names of every sacrificial wine (principal) in the school palace. The famous sacrificial wine is Xunzi.

After Xunzi, the masters of the Jixia Academy were a row of Tian Qi's clan, all of whom were unknown people.

Yan Jiang sighed and said: "Tianwu established Jixia, how can he make great achievements, but the world only knows that "the disease is taboo", "the disease is dying", and it makes him laugh so far. It can be seen that the world likes to remember the king's faults, but it is difficult to remember the king's merits. "

That's right, Jixia Academy, a university that gave birth to countless cultures, was built by Duke Huan in "Bian Que Meets Duke Huan".

Food and lodging are included in this university, and talented people are supported by the state. Different subsidy standards such as "trending scholars", "noble scholars" and "good scholars" have been established, allowing them to talk about their affairs without being in their positions.

What's more, the state of Qi often asks for advice here. Once it is valued by the king, it can reach the sky in one step, so "Songzi", "Tianzi", "Snail", and "Jiezi" were all born here.There are also "Guanzi", "Yanzi Chunqiu", "Sima Fa", and "Zhou Guan" 5 which were written by Jixia talents.

Not to mention that Mencius, Xunzi, Sunzi, Shenzi, who are famous in the Warring States Period, have all come here to give lectures. In short, if future generations memorize local ancient Chinese, the people of Qi will definitely be the first in China, and they will be able to leave the second place far behind. go out.

He wanted to find the principal and look at the collection of books here, but he heard from the students around him that he hadn't seen the sacrificial wine for half a year, and he wanted to wait for the sacrificial ceremony at the beginning of next year. As for the debate in the academy, forget it. King Qi came here three or two times when he came to the throne, and there were no dignitaries to listen to him, so naturally there would be no Jixia Academy where a hundred schools of thought contend.

Not to mention that seven or eight years ago, Yan Zi established a school in Xianyang, where there were many paper books, and there were dignitaries in Qin who were willing to find talents in it, and now all those who are capable in Jixia have gone to Xianyang, so there is no way to say anything Two three five six.

Yan Jiang is very disappointed, His Majesty is very proud.

It means that since A Jiang established the academy, he has asked people to pick some outstanding people to enter the court every month, and there has never been a single delay. looking at you~

Yan Jiang buried his head and sucked the King as a thank you, and praised His Majesty as the wise king of all ages, the holy emperor of a hundred generations, such things, you can understand it at a glance, and you can understand it at a glance, he is simply the king of kings, the sky in the sky!

After all, His Majesty is right about this point. The cultural theories of the Warring States period are all dependent on the country. Whoever wants to use them will gather like sharks that smell fishy, ​​and compete to sell Amway. As long as the King of Qin expresses The emphasis on cultural theory is more useful than any regulations.Don't hesitate at this time, just blow it.

His Majesty cocked his tail in satisfaction, A Jiang really understood him best.

They walked past the place where Da Neng gave lectures, and went to see the library building that hadn’t been opened for some time, and the guest house that had been mostly rented by refugees from the six countries. Liao Min Wang is stupid, and Su Qin is treacherous.

It was these two people who caused the mighty and invincible Qi State to stumble, and they haven't gotten up until now.

They walked to the old house of Lord Mengchang, which had been allocated to other Tian Qi clans. The prosperous scene of the past was not seen. His Majesty looked at it mysteriously for a while, and said with some regret: It is a pity that he was born a hundred years ago.

At that time, it was the era of the four sons of the world, the era of Su Qin Zhang Yi, Bai Qi Fan Ju, Wei Ran Lian Po, Zhao Wu Ling Wang, Qi Xuan Yan Zhao, unlike today.He drew his sword and looked around, and suddenly found that in the six kingdoms, there was no opponent who could fight.

It's as lonely as snow, but fortunately, A Jiang is with him.

"But your majesty, the poison of power is the great enemy of the king, no one can help, no one can solve it," Yan Jiang said leisurely, "For example, King Tian Jiajie, is it King Min, or Lord Mengchang?"

His Majesty froze slightly, and turned to look at him. On this topic, A Jiang was touching some bottom line between them.

"King Min was also a virtuous king back then, but throughout the ages, those who held power have always resisted for power." Yan Jiang was not afraid at all, and said indifferently: "So, King Min is like this, Duke Huan is like this, King Zhao is like this, and King Wuling is like this , the power and power in the world are fascinating to the eye, and those who can stay awake for a long time are rare."

His Majesty was silent for a long time, and felt that it was difficult to answer.

Yan Jiang didn't urge him either, this was a rare opportunity.

When King Qi Min succeeded to the throne, he was also the image of a Mingjun. He almost did most of what King Qin is doing today: launching the Battle of Chuisha, defeating Chu State, and letting Chu claim the land as a minister.In the battle of Hangu Pass, Qin State was defeated, and Qin State dared not advance eastward for 15 years.The chaos of the sons destroyed the country of Yan.Then he annexed the wealthy Song State and called himself the Eastern Emperor.

At this time, King Yan sent the most famous spy in history——Su Qin.

Not long after Su Qin entered Qi, a major event happened. A clan named Tian Jia inexplicably brought a hundred family members into the palace, hijacked King Qi Min, and was then "quelled chaos". , but everyone feels that no one can do this except Mr. Mengchang.

Mr. Mengchang couldn't tell at the time, and he seemed guilty if he didn't explain it or not. At this moment, a few of his disciples showed people what a pig teammate is.

Those old gentlemen pledged their lives that this matter had nothing to do with our lord—they knelt at the palace gate in unison, loudly declared to the onlookers that Mr. Meng Chang did not do Tianjia, and then committed suicide together. Wang Menkou.

King Qi was furious, and immediately asked Mr. Mengchang what you want to do. I am still investigating. What are you trying to explain in a hurry?

He ordered Mr. Mengchang to inquire about the crime.

Afterwards, Lord Mengchang was forced to flee from Qi State. He spent the rest of his life in hostility with Qi State. Even when Qi State was besieged by the Five Kingdoms, he indifferently "maintained neutrality".

When many countries attacked Qi, King Min of Qi sent a large army to meet the enemy, but at a time when the enemy was strong and we were weak, he forced the generals out of the camp and took the initiative to attack. Then of course he was defeated, and he escaped from Qi. , living in Wei, Lu and other small countries, and was finally skinned and killed by the Chu general. Seeing his son was terrified.

Although the restoration of the Qi State was successful, the powerful Qi State disappeared in the world. There was only one Buddhist country that resisted Wei Chu's attack, and barely survived by wooing the Qin State.

Was King Qi Min stupid back then?

No, it's just that he is old, worried about power, and worried about Meng Chang's power, but he just doesn't want to admit that he is wrong.

They are kings, they are widows, they can't be wrong, and they shouldn't be wrong, only others can be wrong.

Yes, power can change human nature, but after the unification of the six kingdoms and the achievements of all ages, will he allow others to question it?

Certainly not.

After a long silence, His Majesty came back to his senses.

That look seemed to say: Ah Jiang really dares to say it.

Yan Jiang stroked the bird's feathers, and said leisurely: "Is there anything I dare not?"

He pinched the bird's wings, mentioned His Majesty, and poked it lightly, his brows and eyes were full of affection: "Will you break up?"

"..."

His Majesty pondered for a moment, then showed his claws like sharp blades.

Yan Jiang immediately hugged His Majesty tenderly: "Yes, this is the only thing I dare not."

He immersed himself in taking a breath of His Majesty's fluffy and comfortable neck fluff, and assured him: "A Jiang loves His Majesty the most!"

His Majesty is satisfied with this.

After coaxing His Majesty, Yan Jiang was about to go back when he was poked by a bird, and he lowered his head in doubt.

His Majesty said calmly, what you said just now, say it again.
