Lu Yan and Li Si had a fierce debate in front of Ying Zheng on the issue of "Morality and Law", but there was no result.
Without the eloquence of Naruto Uzumaki next door, it would be impossible to convince a persistent person.
The current situation is that the publication of this book has been temporarily postponed. Several important ministers hold this opinion. Ying Zheng has also issued a royal order, so Lu Yan cannot say anything more.
After walking out of the palace, he was thinking deeply about a question: What is Ying Zheng's attitude?
There is no doubt that he does not agree with making this book public now. What about the future? Li Si has clearly expressed his position, and the others are ambiguous. What does the king Ying Zheng think?
"Sushu" and "The Origin of the Princely Kingdoms" were discussed by Lu Yan and Ying Zheng, and they were implemented directly without even informing the officials. As for "Morality and Law", Ying Zheng summoned the important officials to take it under custody.
, giving Lu Yan no chance to refute. It was obvious that the two of them had a very happy conversation about this issue...
Lu Yan returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion with full thoughts, but Li Si also felt very uncomfortable.
When he quarreled with Lu Yan, he didn't feel the strong desire to win as he did when he quarreled with Han Fei. Instead, he felt a sense of guilt in his heart. Whether it was the help and support Lu Yan gave him or the sense of respect, he felt
My heart was full of butterflies in my stomach.
After returning to his home, Li Si walked to the pavilion in the courtyard with low spirits and looked at the swimming fish in the pond entangled in groups.
His wife came over, took off his official hat, and put on a cloak to protect him from the wind and cold. "What's the matter? Things didn't go well on official business today?"
Li Si held his wife's hand and leaned against each other gently, "Nothing went smoothly, it was just a quarrel with Junior Brother Lu Yan."
"Disagreement?"
"The concepts are inconsistent."
The wife didn't say anything more. She still knew her husband's temperament. Back then, she could resolutely give up her official position as a minor official in Chu State, leave herself and her son at home, and go out to study alone. A few years later, she became a court official in Qin State.
Wei Cai brought his family over from his hometown. Once he is determined on something, he will pursue it persistently. Since the husband and Lu Yan are fighting over ideas, there is nothing she, the wife, can do to persuade her.
"Mother~, father——"
The couple was silent in silence, and a young man ran out from behind. He originally shouted "Mother" happily, but when he saw his father's figure, he quickly stood up respectfully.
This is Li Si's eldest son, Li You, who was left at home when Li Si went on a study trip. The father and son are still a little unfamiliar with each other.
Li Si turned to look at his son who was looking a little trembling. He held his wife's hand tightly and exhaled a white breath, "In this weather, don't stand outside the house. Let's go inside."
"Yes, father."
…
Public opinion about the new book has fermented here in Qin State, and new news finally came from Zhao State - Zhao State has sent troops!
On the day Dunruo arrived in Handan, he received a warm welcome from Zhao Wangyan, who convened the ministers at the palace to hold a banquet to receive him.
"Hahaha, sir, in the Qin court, you scolded the Qin court, including the king, and all the officials below him. This kind of courage is unique in the world, and few people admire it. I will give you a title first!"
Zhao Yan looked down at Dun Rui, picked up the wine vessel on the table with one hand, and drank it down happily.
Dunwei responded respectfully: "A weak envoy has disgraced his mission. He has no shame to reply to my king. Please stop making fun of me."
Zhao Yan swallowed the wine and smashed the wine baron on the chopping board with a "Peng" sound, "Ah! Although sir, you are brave, but after all, you are sent to Qin with the mission of asking for help. You have scolded the King of Qin. Then Ying
Zheng, why did I let you into the territory of my country, Zhao? Is he so big-hearted?"
"Haha, it's not the King of Qin's magnanimity that he didn't kill the envoy when the two armies were fighting, let alone the envoy who asked for help. The King of Qin was unkind and just sat back and watched the Chu State being tyrannical. If he killed Wen again, or prevented Wen from sending reinforcements, wouldn't it be wrong?
Let the people of the world laugh at King Qin for his narrow-mindedness."
"Hahaha, sir, you are right. Ying Zheng has been scolded by you in vain, but he still can't take revenge. He should really vent his anger. Come on, sir, let me take a breath of bad breath for you, and drink this wine."
The ministers of the State of Zhao followed the king's actions and drank their fill one after another. Among them, the Prime Minister Guo Kai stood up and spoke immediately after drinking.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of Dunwei's visit is simply to let our Zhao State send troops to attack the Chu State. The Qin State has just experienced a great war and wants to recuperate. Isn't this the case for our Zhao State?
I think that the reason why I was able to move from Qin to Zhao because I was weak is the result of King Qin's laissez-faire, but he just wants me, Zhao State, to bear the reputation of being unwilling to save others, along with his Qin State. His intention is vicious."
"Well, what the Prime Minister said is not unreasonable." Zhao Yan nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then said to Dunrui, "Sir, I, Zhao Guogang, fought twice with the Yan State, which resulted in a considerable loss of strength. Moreover, the country is vast and sparsely populated.
Qin has also cut off Zhao's way of rescuing Wei, and there is nothing I can do to help Chu attack Wei."
"Your Majesty, please listen to me."
"Well, you go ahead and I listen."
"This time Chu State attacked Wei with the intention of destroying Han. It seemed to be menacing, but in fact it was vulnerable. At this time, Qin State chose to temporarily avoid the attack in the face of the powerful Chu State. If Zhao State could repel Chu State, then
It will greatly inspire the hearts of the people in the country, and it will greatly inspire the hearts of the world."
Many people in the Zhao court immediately opposed Dunwei.
"Sir, what do you think of the Chu army? What's more, since the terrain is cut off by the Qin State, how can our army march? How can we protect our food routes? To repel the Chu army, huh, it's just a dream."
"Yes, you want to drag me, Zhao Guo, into this pit of fire without any proof!"
In the midst of the commotion, he weakly raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone, have you ever thought about how long it will be before spring planting in Chu State?"
When he shouted, the Zhao officials calmed down.
"The King of Chu was blinded by the benefits brought by annexing South Korea, and tried to conquer the Wei Kingdom quickly. Internally, the land of South Korea has not been fully digested, and external vassal states will never agree with a tyrant who frequently destroys people and the country.
Before the update, I had offended hundreds of schools of thought. The state of Chu seemed to have great arrogance, but in fact it was surrounded by dangers.
With the strong combat effectiveness of Zhao's army, as long as Zhao can send out a partial army, Chu's plan to quickly fight against Wei will be defeated. When the spring planting season comes, Chu's army will inevitably retreat. Zhao can obtain a huge amount of troops at a very small cost.
People hope, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Zhao Yan was sitting at the top, watching Dun Rui standing in the center of the hall and talking eloquently, describing the shortcomings of Chu State and the advantages of Zhao State one by one, and he was pondering in his heart.
Seeing his expression, Dunruo had already guessed it, so he faced Zhao Yan and asked, "Is it because the king is hesitant to make a decision because he is worried about the Qin army's actions?"
"Yes, Yuan Puyan was occupied by the Qin State, and the situation of the three Jin Dynasties is not as good as before. If I rescue the Wei State, and the Qin army comes out to stab me, my entire army will be wiped out. I can't believe the faith of the Qin people."
"Your Majesty, this matter is easy to solve. As long as the State of Zhao invites the State of Qin and the State of Qi to jointly fight against the State of Chu, the matter can be resolved invisible."
Zhao Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and all the officials below also exploded.
"What? What kind of strategy is this? It's simply unheard of!"
"Absurd! Dun Ruo, are you here to play tricks on me, the State of Zhao!"
"We, the State of Zhao, unite with the State of Qin and the State of Qi, what are you dreaming of?"
…
Zhao Yan waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and took a sip of wine, "Please tell me where this plan comes from."
"No matter the king, the king of Qin, or the king of Qi, they don't want to see the Kingdom of Wei destroyed by the Kingdom of Chu. This shows the fundamental reason for weakening this strategy."
Zhao Yan listened to the weak voice standing below with one hand pointing, and his expression was laughing again and again, "Hahaha, sir, you are so talented - then Ying Zheng actually let you go, hahahaha..."
All the ministers of Zhao State were puzzled by this, and the court was quiet for a while, with only Zhao Yan's laughter echoing.
