Zhao Kuo left Zhao State, and every step he took seemed a little heavy.
The carriage drove slowly through the fields of Zhao State. Zhao Kuo saw the people who were farming and rushed towards them in fear. But soon, the accompanying disciples came forward to stop them. Such a thing,
Very frequently, people often stood in the middle of the road, crying and begging Ma Fujun not to leave, and amidst those cries, Zhao Kuo's determination was constantly wavering.
During this period of time, Zhao Kuo would always stare at everything around him. He knew every city and every village here. He had fought bloody battles here and also came here to explore the sentiments of the people. Because
The reason why the people blocked him was that Zhao Kuo walked very slowly, but more and more people were following him. Most of these people had lost their families long ago, or were common people who had fled from Han and Wei.
They survived because of Ma Fujun and came to Zhao State because of Ma Fujun. They are also willing to leave with Ma Fujun.
But more people could not do this. They had no way to leave their hometowns, and they had no way to give up everything they had. The ministers did not come to say goodbye again. Zhao Kuo knew in his heart that they did not want to embarrass himself. Along the way
The people of Zhao always asked Ma Fujun to come to their hometown as a guest, and Zhao Kuo happily went. These Zhao people were both happy and sad. They lit bonfires late at night, sang and danced, and their songs were full of condolences.
Zhao Kuo had no way to be ruthless enough to drive away the people blocking the road. There were often people who would deliberately destroy the road ahead, just to make Ma Fujun stay longer, and there were also people who would stretch out their hands to block Zhao Kuo's carriage, unwilling to leave.
, Zhao Kuo could only get out of the car and apologize to these people one by one, saying that he had to leave. Even if Zhao Kuo's family was not taken to Qin, he still had to leave.
Because here, the people he loves will be in danger because of him.
Today someone is plotting to kill Zhao Zheng because of him. In the future, someone will be plotting to murder Wei Wuji? Dong Chengzi? Even Ping Gongdi. Fortunately, Zhao Kuo is not willing to implicate these people? He loves them very much. Zhao people are very lovely, they
Do they keep their promises? Love to fight against injustice? They like to meddle in other people's business and often stamp their feet angrily because of the injustice suffered by others. They value friendship and they cherish friendship.
Zhao Kuo looked at the Zhao people who were bidding farewell along the way and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
This is his second hometown.
So Zhao Kuo sang the Zhao song loudly. It was high-pitched and loud. The followers, disciples, and common people who were accompanying him also sang loudly. Whether they were from Zhao or not, and whether they wanted to stay in Zhao or not, they came to Dan.
At the water border, Zhao Kuo enthusiastically hugged everyone who came to see him off. He finally said goodbye to this land? When Zhao Kuo saw Changping, his eyes were filled with loneliness.
Zhao Zheng was very happy at first. When Zhao Kuo told him to take him to see his mother and aunt, Zhao Zheng was very happy and couldn't wait to urge Zhao Kuo. When he left the horse uniform, Ping Gong hugged him.
, hugged each other for a long time, and then let go. Almost everyone who decided to stay hugged the lovely Ma Fuzi. Ma Fuzi looked a little unhappy and broke away from their arms.
Especially when Mr. Ping hugged him tightly, he struggled impatiently.
He said goodbye to everyone happily, then sat in Han Fei's arms and drove slowly on the road.
Only three days passed, and Zhao Zheng burst into tears with joy. He began to miss his friends in the horse server, he began to miss Mr. Ping, and he began to miss those who loved him. Han Fei kept comforting him. This kind of parting
The sadness seemed to have also affected Zhao Zheng. During these days, he was always in tears and kept asking Han Fei, when can he see his eldest mother and mother, and when can he take them home?
Han Fei just smiled and told him: soon.
When he turned around, he could still see the Zhao people kneeling on the ground by the river, crying loudly. They were crying hoarse and heartbreaking. This was not only for Ma Fujun, but also for themselves. They had gone through too much.
It was Zhao Kuo who pulled them up from the abyss. When their relatives did not return home for three years, they were forced to death as tax corvees, and when the officials waved their whips angrily.
It was Zhao Kuo who stood up. Zhao Kuo took their relatives back to their hometown. Zhao Kuo punished those cruel officials who enslaved the people. Zhao Kuo reduced their taxes and corvees. When they had enough to eat, they stayed with their families.
, when enjoying peace, they will not forget whose reason it is. They can happily busy in the farmland, loudly sing the words and deeds of Ma Fujun, look at other people proudly, and show off their own gentleman.
But now, all of these may have to return to their original point.
Zhao Kuo looked behind him calmly.
Before he left the Kingdom of Zhao, the knights sent by the King of Zhao stopped him.
This made Zhao Kuo's disciples very excited. They took out their swords and pointed them at the knights in front of them. These knights were not here to embarrass Zhao Kuo, nor were they here to reprimand Zhao Kuo. The leader was Zhao Bu.
, he brought a gift from King Zhao and a letter from King Zhao. In the letter, King Zhao seriously expressed his apology. He told Zhao Kuo: You forgot to take your flag.
In addition to this flag, King Zhao also sent many other things.
In the letter, King Zhao said: I will use your system to govern the country of Zhao. I will no longer increase taxes on the people, and will not let them serve continuously. Until you return to King Zhao, I will never hold any organization again.
banquet.
Zhao Kuo chuckled. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is in Zhao State or not. Shang Yang is dead, and his new law can continue to be implemented in Qin State. Now that he has left Zhao State, his system can be implemented in Zhao State.
It was not that King Zhao didn't know the quality of his system, he just hoped that the reform could be carried out under his control. Zhao Kuo found that after he left, the people of Zhao State would not fall into the sea of misery again.
This is something worth being happy about. If he had known that leaving Zhao Ren would lead a better life, he should have left long ago.
At this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a great respect for a later poet, Du Fu. Because he remembered a poem by Du Fu: With tens of millions of mansions, the poor people in the world will be happy.
! It is as calm as a mountain in the wind and rain. Woohoo! Whenever I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, it will be enough for my hut to be broken down alone and freeze to death!
Du Fu sat in the dilapidated house and wondered when the poor scholars in the world would get a tall building that could withstand wind and rain. If such a house really existed, he would be happy even if he froze to death in the dilapidated house.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo actually felt that he seemed to understand Du Fu's mood. If his departure would allow Zhao people to have a high-rise building that could withstand the cold, then of course he would be happy in exile. If everyone in the world could live there,
If you enter such a house and feel happy, you will be burdened with infamy and live in abuse, so what does it matter?
When Zhao Kuo woke up from his thoughts, he found that he had arrived on the other side of the river.
This is Changping, this is his final destination.
By the river, stood densely packed soldiers of the Qin State. These soldiers looked as if they had just dug out pottery figurines from the soil. They stood straight by the river, forming a neat formation, looking ahead, motionless.
Even their chariots were like this, and the horses did not dare to move. This was the first time that Zhao Kuo saw the Qin army at such a close distance. Such a formation was very shocking.
It is hard to imagine that thousands of years ago, there was such an army. Tens of thousands of people were like an army of one person. Zhao Kuo's guests, his disciples, and the people who were still crossing the river were all at this moment.
It was a bit shocking. Han Fei looked at the army in surprise, his eyes gradually brightened. He seemed to understand why the teacher said that Qin was the country most likely to rule the world.
No wonder Qin can always defeat armies that far outnumber them
Right in the middle of the soldiers stood an old man. The old man was wearing armor and was very powerful. He had the demeanor of an honest general. Accompanied by several warriors, the old man quickly walked to Zhao Kuo's side and returned.
Before Zhao Kuo could salute, he took the lead, bowed and bowed, and said in proficient Zhao language: "I pay my respects to Lord Wu Cheng." With this sentence, the people behind Zhao Kuo were immediately stunned, and they looked at the bowed man in front of him suspiciously.
The old man saluting, this old man
Zhao Kuo was stunned and quickly stepped forward to help him up, "The King of Qin is older than me. I cannot accept such a great gift from you." King Qin raised his body and held Zhao Kuo's hand tightly, unwilling to let go at all.
His eyes gradually moistened, he smiled, and said in a daze: "You are really here. I didn't expect that I really see you. This is really great, great."
"Please get in the carriage." King Qin pulled Zhao Kuo towards the direction of the carriage. Zhao Kuo found that King Qin was quite strong, so he pulled himself to the side of the carriage. King Qin was about to help Zhao Kuo get into the carriage. Zhao Kuo
But he didn't dare and said hurriedly: "Please get in the carriage first." King Qin just shook his head, with a smile on his face. Zhao Kuo reluctantly stepped onto the carriage. King Qin then jumped into the driver's seat.
But he had to drive for Zhao Kuo himself.
Zhao Kuo was really speechless. He knew that the King of Qin respected him very much, but he did not expect that the King of Qin could do this. This behavior of the King of Qin also shocked everyone, including those who came to greet him in the Qin State.
The ministers and everyone who followed Zhao Kuo were all looking in the direction of the carriage, dumbfounded. King Qin whipped the horse in front of him, and then drove towards the city.
"Jun Wu Cheng, I finally see you."
"That's great."
"Ever since I found out about your talent, I have been thinking about meeting you all the time. It's a pity that Uncle Fan couldn't wait until this day. However, he will also be very happy. You don't know, he even wants to meet you in person.
I went as envoy to the State of Zhao just to meet you, but I was worried about his safety and did not let him go. There is also Lord Wu An. Before Lord Wu An passed away, he said that his biggest regret was that he could not meet you."
"I was also very worried at first. I am already very old and I don't know if I will have a chance to meet you."
King Qin kept talking about this, but Zhao Kuo said nothing, feeling inexplicably touched in his heart.
"Your wife is pregnant, and I dare not let her run around, so let her rest here." When the King of Qin drove Zhao Kuo out of the array, the soldiers immediately turned around, faced the direction of the King of Qin, and followed quickly
, stirred up dust all over the sky, which made Di a little angry, complained a few words, and then followed the others behind them, and officials from Qin State came to receive him.
Probably because of Lord Ma Fu, these officials were very polite, and they also used the Zhao language. As for the people who followed, the officials were also thinking of ways. They did not expect that so many people would follow Lord Wu Cheng.
Come, but this is a good thing. The bank of Danshui suddenly became lively, but the disciples and disciples hurriedly followed the people in front.
Li Si stood beside Xunzi, looking a little angry.
"The King of Qin ignored you so much. This is because of you."
"Hahaha, King Qin didn't even know that I had arrived here, so how could he say he despised me?" Xunzi didn't care, and happily introduced the affairs of Qin to Gongsun Long beside him.
The State of Qin also knew what was going on in the country, but the King of Qin had just focused on Zhao Kuo and did not notice Xunzi in the crowd. Gongsun Long looked around and listened to Xunzi telling him about the system of the State of Qin.
.
Xunzi rarely praised anything. On the contrary, he was scolded more often. The people he praised included Zhao Kuo, Han Fei and others, but the only system he praised was the system of Qin. Xunzi was very fond of Qin.
The country's system has a high evaluation. He believes that the systems of the six countries are not as good as Qin's system, and believes that Qin's system is the most advanced and does not need any improvement.
Well, the current system of Qin State is not very friendly to Confucians, but Xunzi can still say such words, which makes people have to admire Xunzi's tallness. He will not deny things that are not good for him because of his own position.
.
When King Qin drove Zhao Kuo to the gate of the city, there were officials waiting here. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them. The last time King Qin took such a posture was many years ago.
When Fan Ju first came to the Qin State, the Qin Dynasty bowed down to him and worshiped him six times. Only then did Fan Ju become the marquis of the Qin State and put all his efforts into it.
Looking at the white-haired King Qin in front of him, Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly.
The driver soon arrived at the door of a relatively luxurious mansion in the city. As soon as he arrived in front of the door, Zhao Kuo heard the curses coming from inside.
"You also want to serve me as an elder? If I were a junior like you, I would have drawn my sword and committed suicide!!"
This is Go's voice.
ps: It’s like this. Lao Lang’s outline was revised once, so it became a little slower to write. The original outline was that Ge died in the hands of King Zhao, and Zhao Kuo left Zhao Kingdom angrily. As a result, I was the first
Reader, my girlfriend was very angry when she saw it, and ordered me to make changes. She was not allowed to write about Death Ge. Although I was not afraid of her, I thought what she said was quite reasonable, so I made some changes later, and there were more things to change.
