"Sir, please sit down." King Qin smiled and asked Lu Buwei to sit next to him. In this position that only belonged to Fan Ju in the past, Lu Buwei looked a little panicked, even a little scared. King Qin grinned and couldn't help but smile.
, also sat down. The King of Qin stroked his beard and said: "I have seen Mr.'s talent. When Lou Huan sent the news, I just wanted to expose Zhao Dan's crimes and force Wu Chengjun to enter Qin."
"Hahaha, you proposed to send someone directly to protect Wu Chengjun's family. I was still a little worried. I was afraid that it would cause misunderstanding. I didn't expect that things turned out so smoothly. I heard that Wu Chengjun's family had already come to Shangdang because of his
My wife is pregnant and has difficulty moving, so she is temporarily resting in Shangdang." King Qin smiled and said, "This is all your credit."
Lu Buwei shook his head and said seriously: "This is the credit of Lou Gong. If Lou Gong hadn't informed you of Zhao Bao's conspiracy in time, how could I have come up with such a countermeasure? Besides, this is what Lou Gong meant.
, If he is not in prison and everything is inconvenient, I don’t have to be responsible for the execution." King Qin was still very happy. After a while, he asked with some worry: "Will Wu Chengjun really come to Qin?
?”
Lu Buwei smiled and replied: "Please rest assured. Mr. Ma Wucheng will definitely come."
The King of Qin continued: "I have heard that Wu Qi, who was defending the country, used troops to learn from Zengzi, and was engaged in fighting with the king of Lu. The Qi people attacked Lu. The Lu wanted to use Wu Qi as a general, but Wu Qi's wife was Qi.
In order to show that he had nothing to do with Qi, Wu Qi killed his wife. Lu then appointed him as a general. I heard that people who achieve great things can sacrifice their families."
"Wu Qi was in the State of Lu, and his mother died of illness. He was also busy with his fame and did not visit and worship her. Zengzi therefore severed ties with him. However, he finally became the enemy of the Qin State and realized his ideal."
Lu Buwei shook his head and said: "What you said is right. People who want to realize their ideals can sacrifice everything for their ideals. But Ma Fujun's ideal is not to be a general like Wu Qi. I heard that Wu Qi
When he left his hometown, he bit his arm and swore to his mother: I, Wu Qi, will never return to Weiguo until I become prime minister. But Ma Fujun is not like this."
"I heard that Ma Fujun once pointed to heaven and said to his disciples: I hope that I can worry before the people of the world worry, and enjoy after the people of the world enjoy. His ideal is the people of the world. Wu Qi's wife made it impossible for Wu Qi to fulfill himself
Wu Chengjun's ideals, but Wu Chengjun's family will not hinder his ideals. On the contrary, his ideals can only be realized in Qin State. The king of Zhao State loves him, but is unwilling to use his ideas to govern the country."
"Monarchs from all over the world hope to have Ma Fujun serve, but they are unable to fulfill Ma Fujun's ideals. Yan's national power is weak, Zhao's nobles are strong, Wei's villains are everywhere, Qi's self-proclaimed state, and Chu's only censorship is Qin, because Lord Shang
In terms of national power, no country can compare with Qin. You followed the advice of the marquis, expelled the powerful four nobles, and appointed officials to govern the country. There is no one with a prominent family background but no talent.
Villain."
"The local pavilion chiefs are upright and can act according to your orders."
"When Ma Fujun arrives, Qin will have enough strength to implement all the systems he proposed. Qin can end this war and start a new dynasty, just like Shang Tang replaced Xia and Zhou replaced Shang.
No, the Qin State will surpass those dynasties and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. The Qin State will be extremely powerful and your royal orders can be spread to any place in the world and be executed."
King Qin's eyes gradually brightened, but he was not excited by this. He just raised his hand and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I won't see that day. But, sir, if you see it,
Please be sure to tell me how powerful Qin was at that time."
"Your Majesty, you are so strong, how could you not see this day? Please be prepared to welcome Lord Wu Cheng." Lu Buwei said with a smile. King Qin nodded with a smile, as if he had thought of something, and said to Lu Buwei: "
Let Yiren go to Shangdang, Wu Chengjun will raise his wife for Yiren, Yiren must also take care of Wu Chengjun's mother as his own mother, and Wu Chengjun's retainers must not let him suffer!"
"I heard that Wu Chengjun's mother is strong-willed, and I am very worried that she will..."
"Please leave this matter to me. Now that Wu Chengjun's child is about to be born, his mother will definitely not commit suicide."
Inside Handan City
Zhao Kuo looked at the two Qin warriors in front of him in a daze. Sure enough, his family was taken away by the Qin people. Knowing this, Zhao Kuo's worry did not lessen, because he knew his mother.
If the mother finds out that the Qin people are using her to threaten her, she will definitely kill herself. But can her wife, Yi, and the child about to be born in her belly bear the journey to Xianyang?
Ge Gong will definitely resist, he is such a stubborn person.
Then what should I do? Leave them behind, continue to stay in Zhao State, and ignore them? This is something Zhao Kuo cannot do at all, but rushing to Qin State means that he must leave Zhao State and leave.
Lord Xinling, left Dong Chengzi, left Ping Gong, left Qijie, could no longer worship Du, Yu Qing, Lin Xiangru, Le Yi, Handan Zao and all those who trusted him. Zhao Kuo lowered his head and sighed.
Zhao Kuo didn't know how he returned to his horse uniform. He was in a daze. When he woke up, he found himself standing in the school room, with his disciples, his guests, and scholars from various sects.
, they were all looking at themselves. They didn’t speak, and they just looked at themselves seriously. Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at these people, and said softly: "My mother, my wife, Ge
My Lord, they were taken away by the Qin people."
"There are many people who say: Mr. Ma Fu is a benevolent and righteous person."
"Some people say: Ma Fujun is a world-famous saint."
"The truth I know is not like this."
"I'm afraid of death. I don't want to let down everyone who trusts me. I don't dare to do what I want to do. I'm addicted to everyone's respect for me, but I deny it." Zhao Kuo said seriously.
, everyone was looking at him, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was as silent as ever. Zhao Kuo said again: "I will be afraid of death, and I will be unable to control my anger because of my feelings. Chang'an Lord has been doing evil for many years, until he killed
I killed my friend."
"There was no trial by Dong Chengzi, and there was no legal form. I said that I wanted to govern the country by law, but I was unable to do so."
"Now, my family is in the State of Qin, but my friends, all the people who trust me, are in the State of Zhao. I am going to the State of Qin. I can't leave my family behind. I always say to others that I will sacrifice my life for righteousness, but when it comes to my own
At that time, I still couldn't do it. I couldn't give up my family to pursue morality. That's it. Anyone can talk about their ideas, but when it comes to actual implementation, they are always angry and distracted by other things.
Influence."
"I'm sorry, I betrayed Zhao's trust in me. I have to save my family."
"I have never pursued fame, nor have I longed for the title of sage. I am not a sage with a heart for the world, nor an invincible general, nor a benevolent and righteous horse-servant king. I am Zhao Kuo."
"An ordinary person who has compassion, wants to be there for his family, and wants to do something for other people."
"I will not ask everyone to leave with me. For those who want to leave, I can provide them with enough money to return to their hometown." Zhao Kuo bowed to everyone and saluted, and then walked out of the school. Di, Xing and others
Without any hesitation at all, he followed Zhao Kuo directly. Han Fei hurriedly walked towards home. He still had a lot of things to pack. Most of the other disciples were the same, except for a few Chu and Zhao.
The disciples of Wei State were a little hesitant at this moment.
This was not the case for the diners. Even Zhao Fu took off his official seal and prepared to pack his things and leave.
And when the news that Ma Fujun was about to leave Zhao State reached Ma Furen, Ma Furen didn't believe it. They asked Han Fei and Di, and after learning the truth, Ma Furen fell silent.
, then, they also started to pack their things. Wherever Ma Fujun goes, they will go.
Zhao Kuo hugged Zhao Zheng and said to Zhao Zheng with a smile: "Pack your things, I will take you to see your mother."
Zhao Zheng was very happy. He rushed out of the door with a smile. Ping Gong sat in his courtyard and watched everything quietly. He smiled when he saw Zhao Zheng leaving. Ping Gong raised his head again and looked at Zhao Kuo.
When Kuo saw the tears shining in his eyes, Duke Ping opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. He was silent for a moment, then stood up and said to Zhao Kuo: "I wish you peace and hope that the disaster will stay away."
"Ping Gong, let's go together?"
"I won't leave. My wife and children are buried here. I'm afraid that my wife won't find me." Ping Gong said, raising his head and looking at Zhao Kuo with a smile.
I heard about what happened in Handan. No one would blame you, let alone me. I would still have to thank you if it weren't for you and me." Ping Gong suddenly shed tears. He lowered his head and just shook his head.
.
"Mr. Ping, come with me."
"No need, hurry up and get ready." Ping Gong waved his hand and turned around.
Han Fei had to bring a lot of things, of course, they were all bamboo slips. These were not just Ma Fujun's words and deeds, but also Han Fei's own understanding, his own doctrines and ideas. Di was shouting at his wife and daughter,
Let them get ready. Fortunately, there is nothing to prepare. The entire horse uniform is busy, but Zhao Kuo is still not busy at this moment.
He walked slowly in Mafu Township, looking at the busy people on both sides, and carefully looking at everything around him.
After walking through the road that he always passed, through the gate, through his busy farmland, and past Du's grave, many knights appeared in the distance, running towards the direction of the horse uniform. Zhao
Kuo raised his head and looked into the distance. At this moment, he saw Wei Wuji riding a horse. The horse was galloping towards him. Wei Wuji reined in the horse suddenly, and the horse raised its front hooves high and neighed loudly.
Lord Xinling jumped off the horse, and behind him were his retainers and the chubby Dong Chengzi. Wei Wuji smiled and walked to Zhao Kuo's side, "I heard that you are leaving Zhao Kuo?"
Zhao Kuo's face looked a little lonely, and he nodded.
Wei Wuji smiled and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. Why bother to suffer here? When are you leaving? Since your family is fine, you can't leave in a hurry. You promised me that you would drink with me."
Come and have a good drink with me." Dong Chengzi lowered his head, reluctant to look at Zhao Kuo, and said: "Everyone is behind, and they all want to see you off."
Zhao Kuo then asked them to rush to his courtyard. The empty courtyard was once again filled with guests.
Wei Wuji brought a lot of wine and talked enthusiastically with Zhao Kuo. There was no sadness in his words at all. Dong Chengzi just drank the wine without saying a word. Soon, Pang Gong, Tian Gong, Lian Po,
Even Zhao Hui came. Zhao Kuo received these people warmly and did not mention anything about his departure. These people did not mention it again. They just sat around Zhao Kuo, joking with each other, and the atmosphere was
It's so harmonious.
"Please come and drink this wine with me." Wei Wuji drank with Zhao Kuo again. He usually had a good drinker, but now he got drunk very quickly. He smiled, took Zhao Kuo's hand, and said to
Everyone said: "We should be happy for Ma Fujun. Ma Fujun has finally found a place where he can use his talents. He will definitely be reused in Qin State, and he will never be like Zhao Guo. Do you know that? Ah, Qin
All the officials of the country must recite it!"
"A person like Ma Fujun can lead troops to fight and govern the country. There is nothing he doesn't know. It is this kind of person who falls into the hands of a mediocre lord and cannot play his role. He has so many good systems.
, but no system is implemented here.”
Wei Wuji said drunkenly and said angrily: "This is wrong!"
"My laws haven't been compiled yet. If you leave, who will help me revise the laws?" Dong Chengzi said dullly, took another sip of wine, then he laughed, and said: "I want to go back
It’s better to go to your own fiefdom, it’s better to be in a small place. This Handan is really frustrating.”
On this day, everyone was very drunk, even Zhao Kuo.
Lian Po jumped down and performed a sword dance for everyone.
Pang Gong sang for him.
Mr. Tian didn't know when he would play drums for them for fun.
But Dong Chengzi just cried.
Wei Wuji smiled.
Zhao Kuo lowered his head, crying and laughing at the same time.
