"Your Majesty, this is the Su Mansion...no, it's the Daihou Mansion." The ox cart slowed down, and a knight following the ox cart whispered to the people in the cart.
The King of Shu opened the curtain and looked at the house: "Even the old uncle is here. How does the father value you so much?"
"I don't know whether my father really only regards my good nephew as a pawn to keep me and King Qi in check, or he still has some family ties and wants to make amends."
"The King of Qi and I didn't like this mansion when we came out of the palace to build a mansion. But not long ago, my brother King Lu had an idea about this place, but it didn't work out. Now it has fallen into the hands of my nephew. I don't know.
When King Lu arrives here, will he feel that his father is too partial?"
I also knew that with King Qi's impulsive and irritable character, even if he knew that his father was just treating Su Ziji as a pawn, he would still be angry.
"But, why am I not like that? Even though I know that everyone is a pawn, I still can't help but feel jealous when I see the mansion."
“Who wants multiple competitors?”
Before the King of Shu's chariot arrived at the gate of Daihou Hou, a knight stepped over and notified the concierge. The concierge hurriedly notified the butler and quickly reported inside.
When the King of Shu got off the car and arrived at the door, the Taoist priests were waiting on his side, and Su Ziji had already come out to welcome him: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle."
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." The King of Shu hurriedly reached out to help you, looked at you carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "I have heard about your extraordinary charm for a long time, but when I see you today, you are truly worthy of your reputation."
Although the Ji family are all good-looking, Su Ziji is really outstanding, and it makes people's hearts melt at first sight.
While the King of Shu was in admiration, his heart sank.
The prince's demeanor at that time was actually an important factor in attracting people.
The two of them went in, and there were several people following behind the King of Shu. He looked at it casually: "Nephew, your mansion is quite large, and it is also the residence of the former Duke. It shows that His Majesty values you very much."
Then the voice changed, and the King of Shu said: "I heard that you like to collect ancient books. As an uncle, I came here this time and had nothing else to give, so I brought a diary of the former prime minister Huang Zongxi. Don't dislike it.
The gift I gave you is too thin."
Su Ziji said with a smile: "What did your uncle say? You can think of me and come here in person today, which is flattering to me. Moreover, you can think of my nephew and send him the original copy of his favorite ancient book."
, if such a gift is considered a small gift, then I am afraid there will be no generous gifts in this world. Then we are all a family, why do we need to be like outsiders and only talk about the external light in everything?"
"I love hearing what you say!" King Shu laughed, "It can be seen that you, the number one scholar, really understand the beauty of reading, unlike some people who are pedantic in reading. You and I are all one family, those
It’s imaginary, so there’s no need to pay attention to it.”
"Come on, let's take a look first and see if you like these books. If you don't like them, I'll have someone send you better ones right away!"
The servant had already presented the gift, and Su Ziji took it personally. Under the smiling gaze of the King of Shu, he opened the box and opened the first book.
The king of Shu came here this time, and the gift was just a stepping stone. He came here to see his nephew.
"Although I have seen him before, but seeing him again now, or having become a naturalized citizen, the feeling is different."
Thinking like this, the King of Shu locked his eyes on Su Ziji and saw Su Ziji flipping through this set of diaries of former prime ministers. It didn't look like he was pretending to like it, but he was really satisfied with the gift.
The King of Shu thought to himself: "Before I came here, I thought that my love for ancient books was just a hobby that my good nephew deliberately showed. Now I see that he really likes it."
"That's right, he is the number one scholar and he just loves these arty things."
Although the King of Shu also attracted a group of literary people, from the bottom of his heart, it was just a hobby, not a serious matter.
Elegance comes only when you have power. If you don't have the right to talk about elegance, it's just like domestic ducks drying their feathers.
Just as he was thinking about it, Su Ziji opened the box and saw a total of a set of calligraphy inside, more than ten volumes, all bound with thread.
When Su Ziji took it, he was shocked and had a premonition that this set of handwriting was very important to him.
Without the urging of the King of Shu, he probably couldn't help it. With the urging of the King of Shu, it was normal to pick up a book and read it. There were only fragmented records in it, and some even contained numbers of unknown origin.
"After discovering Shi Gaoyi's "Shi's Direct Interpretation", do you want to learn from it?"
Shi Gaoyi became a Jinshi at the age of 24, became a bachelor of Dongge University at the age of 42, and became the prime minister at the age of 47. He served for twelve years. He implemented a series of reforms, suppressed the rebellion in the southwest, refreshed the official administration, cleared the fields, revived Jingxi, and was awarded the title of Grand Master.
Although the Duke of the State of Yue is a noble, his importance can be seen.
Knowing his power and offending many officials, he complained of illness and returned to his hometown. Emperor Jingxi repeatedly rewarded him and gave him the posthumous title of "Wenzhong" after his death. However, in the third year, his house was raided and his title was deprived of him.
He was prime minister all his life, but he was liquidated after the death of the resentful emperor.
"yes."
Following Su Ziji's answer, a wave of coolness rushed down from the top of his head.
"[The Way of Government] +3000"
"[The Way of Government] Level 10 (725/10000), Qualification +1, Qualification 16→17 (10)"
"You have so much experience? You are worthy of being a former prime minister!" Su Ziji was delighted. To outsiders, he just flipped through the first book and then picked up the next one.
"[The Way of Government] +2000"
"There are a lot less this time. It seems that the remaining experiences will gradually become less and less." Su Ziji was not surprised by this. No matter how sporadic and obscure the records were, what he learned were what he really thought at the time, and the tactics were
Politics comes from the same source, and the more we learn, the more we repeat.
Sure enough, I clicked on the remaining dozen books, and although they were getting fewer and fewer, I was lucky. I finished the last one and was able to upgrade.
"[The Way of Government] Level 11 (25/11000)"
Su Ziji suddenly felt that his mind was clear. Some things he had been hesitant about before were now cleared of fog, revealing a clear path forward.
"I seem to know how to reach my grandson."
"King Shu, this is really a timely help. Don't worry, I will definitely use the strategies you gave me to defeat you and King Qi, and ascend to the throne as grandson."
Su Ziji suddenly smiled like a tiger, and looked at the King of Shu with a much more friendly look.
The King of Shu suddenly felt a little nervous. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and went out.
Su Ziji saw each other off and waited far away. In the ox cart, the King of Shu suddenly coldly asked the person behind him: "What do you think?"
The man raised his face to look at the gray and gloomy sky, and after a long time he said: "The people look at fate, and the royal family creates fate. How can we see the blessings and misfortunes in the heavens?"
"It's just that I suddenly felt a little bit ominous just now."
"After careful investigation, it turned out to be related to "Shi's Direct Interpretation"."
"Is it related to "Shishi's Direct Interpretation"?" King Shu looked serious at first, but he was confused after hearing this. After thinking about it, he said: "I read this book, and it is actually just sporadic records. There are no major events.
There is little discussion and nothing can be seen."
"If you really want to talk about Machiavellian scheming, how can I give it to Dai Hou?"
"What the prince said is that he may be suspicious." The man pondered for a long time, but still couldn't get the point, so he had to say this.
