"Mr. Long, are you sure you want to use me?" The elders of the Gan and Shi families hesitated. For so many years, no country has ever recruited them as officials, and they also know very well that their own theories cannot govern the government and the people.
Even if his ancestors, Gan De and Shi Shen Gong entered the officialdom many years ago, it was not because of astronomers.
"Why not?" Jin Yao asked.
The elders of the Gan and Shi families were extremely happy. Jin Yao was the Dragon Lord of the Qin State and the younger brother of Qin Wangzheng. Naturally, the words he spoke also represented the Qin State.
This also means that this is a signal from Qin to recruit them.
"If that's the case, then I'll survive for a few more years and go home to prepare the basics of the calendar!"
The calendar is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It needs to be calculated based on celestial phenomena and stars to calculate the most accurate values. The preliminary preparation work is also extremely difficult.
Therefore, the old people of the Gan and Shi families who had goals felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood. Their originally sluggish auras were resurrected with full blood in an instant, and they became full of energy. It would not be a problem to live for another thirty to fifty years.
appearance.
"Senior, go ahead!" Jin Yao nodded. When it comes to studying the stars, China is nearly two thousand years ahead of the West.
It is a pity that astronomy cannot be transformed into matter. As a result, no one has touched it for nearly a thousand years since the "Gan Shi Star Book", causing the astronomers to lose their inheritance for a time.
"The children will be handed over to the head of the debate!" Finally, after confirming that these children would be put under the door of Mo Bian's family, the parents of the Gan and Shi families also said goodbye and left.
And Jin Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. The originally declining Mo Bian lineage finally had a successor.
This time, a total of twelve disciples were recruited, nine of whom were genius disciples, and the remaining three were from very rich families!
For example, Xiao Xu's son was the son of the manager of the Qin State's largest gold mine at that time.
The restart ceremony and the apprenticeship ceremony were held at the same time. After the ceremony, the elders of each family also left.
And Jin Yao also started a retirement life in Linzi, focusing on teaching his disciples and no longer interfering with the affairs of the court.
And time passed very quickly. Three years after annexing Chu State, Qin State no longer expanded externally, but began to manage internal affairs.
But everyone in the world also knows that the unification of Qin is inevitable. The reason why Qi can still stand stably in the east is because Qin is not ready to annex Qi.
It is not difficult to destroy Qi State. What is difficult is how to govern Qi State after it is destroyed, and where to find the people to govern it.
Therefore, Qin did not directly choose to annex Qi, but secretly accumulated strength.
The Qi court was also divided into two factions, the war faction and the surrender faction.
Nowadays, the capitulation faction has the upper hand and controls the court of Qi State. Even though ambitious people like Dr. Jimo hope that Qi State can rebuild its military, there is no way.
Because after Qi State abolished its military armaments, it no longer even established a general's office. Except for the ordinary government officials who managed the place, there was not even a military camp or guardhouse.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much Dr. Jimo wanted to change, there was nothing he could do.
"Your Majesty, prepare yourself for war!" Although he knew it was a moth chasing a flame, Dr. Jimo still hoped that King Qi Jian could cheer up.
It's not that the Qi State has never been in decline. Back then, only two cities were defeated by the Yan State and they were able to recover. Now, no matter how strong the Qin State is, the Qi State may not be incapable of fighting.
This is also what Dr. Jimo is thinking now.
"Doctor Jimo, do you think the courtiers will allow it?" Qi Wangjian looked at Dr. Jimo, shook his head, and handed a letter of information to Dr. Jimo.
The information is simple, but also cruel.
Almost all the nine ministers of the Qi State defected to the Qin State and found a way out for their families, and these were only the high-ranking officials in Linzi.
Not to mention that Guo Kai, the official guest of Qin State, also appeared in the land of Qilu and visited the homes of nobles from all over the world.
"Half of the people in the seventy-two cities of Qi have already chosen to associate with Guo Kai. Does Dr. Jimo know what this means?" Qi Wangjian said calmly.
Doctor Jimo looked at the information in his hand and became depressed.
He knew exactly what this meant.
The nobles of the entire Qi State may have united to sell the Qi State at a good price.
The so-called royal power cannot leave the capital. Qi State not only cannot leave the royal territory, but even the majesty and orders of the King of Qi can no longer leave the palace.
The nine ministers stayed with Jin Yao all day long, and the nobles outside Linzi drank and had fun with Guo Kai day and night. Internal and external troubles were a fact.
"Why doesn't your Majesty expel Guo Kai from the country?" Doctor Jimo hesitated for a moment and then spoke again.
Qi Wangjian sighed and looked at Dr. Jimo. If he could expel him, he would naturally do it, but it made no sense at all.
He could expel Guo Kai, but Guo Kai couldn't secretly enter Qi?
With the local nobles hiding it, who knows where Guo Kai is?
The current King of Qi has become blind after leaving the palace, and has no way of knowing and giving orders outside the palace.
Everyone also acquiesced that the Qi State would be annexed by the Qin State without any intention of resisting.
Dr. Jimo left the Qi Palace in despair. He didn't even know how he got out of the palace. He didn't expect that the authority of the Qi King had declined to such an extent.
"Go and see the Emperor Yao!" After Dr. Jimo left, Qi Wangjian put on his black robe and headed to Mobian Mountain under the protection of his guards.
There was no room for him to be careless, because now everyone in the Qi State was planning to sell him to the Qin State. After leaving the palace, he did not even have any guarantee for his own safety.
He could imagine that in order to gain status in Xianyang of Qin State, many people in Linzi were staring at his head.
"My lord, King Qi wants to see you!" Cook Ding came to Mobian Mountain again and whispered in Jin Yao's ear.
They also knew the current situation of Qi State and the dangerous situation of Qi Wangjian, so they did not dare to let anyone know about Qi Wangjian's leaving the palace.
"Alas~" Jin Yao also sighed. Although he no longer interfered with the affairs of the court in the past two years, he also knew that Qi Wangjian was in a dangerous situation.
Although he has made it clear that he will retire, but with his identity here, who dares to ignore him?
In addition, Yingzheng general Guo Kai was sent out to lobby and secretly colluded with dignitaries from all over Qi, causing many cities in Qi to choose to surrender to Qin.
As soon as Qin's army arrives, all parts of Qi will directly declare rebellion and surrender.
"Go meet Tian Jian!" Jin Yao motioned to the children to study on their own, and then followed Cook Ding quietly to leave the small island in the middle of the lake at the Mobian Mountain Gate and arrived at a high mountain outside the Mobian Mountain Gate.
King Jian of Qi was already sitting on the top of the mountain making tea and waiting for Jin Yao's arrival.
"I've met King Qi!" Jin Yao signaled to Black and White Xuanjian and Cook Ding to guard the outside and not allow anyone to come and disturb him.
