Since goodness is willing, of course Zhao Kuo will no longer object, as long as she can live a happy life.
However, Zhao Kuo may not be happy in his heart. He has a sullen face and looks worried. Meng Wu is very happy. Becoming an in-law with Zhao Kuo is something he has never thought of. He never thought that that boy Meng Yi is not as good as him.
His brother was mighty, thin and delicate, but he actually took away the daughter of Wu Chenghou's family. Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time. He looked at Meng Wu who was inexplicably proud in front of him, frowned, and whispered:
"There is one more thing I want to tell you."
"Please give me your orders."
"If one day, my daughter comes back to me crying..." Zhao Kuo stared closely at Meng Wu in front of him. The anger in his eyes made Meng Wu instantly frightened. Zhao Kuo had fought all his life. Press
According to the old man's words, he naturally has a kind of evil spirit about him, which may not be as good as Bai Qi's, but it still makes people feel more stressed. Coupled with his cold face, Meng Wu vaguely felt a chill on his back and scalp.
numb.
"Don't worry... This will never happen..." Meng Wu said hurriedly. This is the disadvantage of marrying Zhao Kuo's daughter. Having such a father-in-law is Meng Yi's great luck and his misfortune.
.Although Zhao Kuo is older, he is full of strength and strength. His physique is still one circle bigger than Meng Wu and two circles bigger than Meng Yi. If he is annoyed, I am afraid that Meng Yi will suffer the most.
The marriage was settled in this way, and everyone was happy. Meng Yi should have been the happiest, because he was finally going to marry his most beloved girl. Unfortunately, during this period, he was under great pressure, first of all the pressure from Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo did not question him about his military merits and titles. However, Zhao Kuo was the only military meritorious prince in the Qin State... But Meng Yi was nothing. He had never been on the battlefield and could not even inherit his father's title.
This put him under a lot of pressure, because after the death of Zhao Kuo, the eldest son Ying Zheng would definitely not be able to inherit the position of Marquis Che. Needless to say, the second son Cheng Yu had the title of Lord Chang'an, so naturally he would not be able to inherit it. Zhao
Kang himself used war to seize the title of Lord Ma Fu, and he did not have to inherit it. The one who was most likely to inherit was Shan... To inherit the title of Che Hou would mean to be demoted one level, and that would also be Guannei Hou. Meng Yi thought about it and felt that
big head.
This made him very anxious. He was anxious to win the title and prove himself... Other pressure came from Shan's brothers, the most direct one was Zhao Kang. Zhao Kang directly put a hand on his neck and threatened to
Meng Yi did not doubt that he wanted to kill him. Zhao Kang had been a big bully in Xianyang since he was a child. His brother often said bad things about him, as if he was a big evil person who had accumulated all the evil characters in the world.
Such a villain can do anything. If the couple had a quarrel in the future and was killed by Ma Fujun, it would be terrible... Zhao Kang threatened him and stopped talking to him.
Meng Yi followed his father back, and when he came to the school room to prepare for school, he was stopped by a slender man. This man was Chang'an Juncheng.
Cheng Yu looked at him indifferently and pulled him into the school room.
"When Wuchenghou, Xunzi, Gongsun Longzi, Han Feizi and others sat on Taoshan, they debated the direction of governing the country. What is the difference between the virtuous government mentioned by Xunzi and the virtuous government mentioned by Wuchenghou?" Yes, this is a time.
During the sudden exam, Cheng Yu sat in front of Meng Yi and asked seriously, he was here to examine Meng Yi's knowledge. Meng Yi obviously knew about this famous debate, but under such circumstances, he also
Somewhat confused.
He was trembling, not knowing how to answer.
His mind went blank. Meng Yi, who was unprepared for such a sudden attack, really couldn't answer it.
Cheng Yu asked several related questions one after another, but Meng Yi could not answer any of them. Cheng Yu looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and was about to get up, but Meng Yi hurriedly started to answer, his voice still
Trembling, but reluctantly speaking out Chang'an Jun's question, Chang'an Jun listened carefully and said with a sneer: "Shan can answer these questions at the age of four or five... I didn't know she was attracted to you.
Which point..."
"Forget it, forget it, since my father has agreed, then I don't have much to say." Chang'an Jun calmed down, with a smile on his face again, he said with a smile: "I know Kang has found you.
, don’t be afraid, Kang is quick-tempered, but has a good heart."
"I know." Meng Yi lowered his head and was very polite.
Cheng Yu nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "There is one thing, do you know?"
"What's up?"
"If you kill someone when you are a prince, you can use your title to offset it."
Know..."
"It's good to know."
....
However, Meng Yi's pain and torture has not passed. The price of marrying Shan is too high. Meng Yi completed a full day of studies. Because of the pressure from several people, Meng Yi studied so seriously that day.
Don't dare to neglect, under such circumstances, Meng Yi met the envoy from the palace, and Ying Zheng wanted to see him... Well, when marrying a girl, don't just see if she has a brother, but also see if she has a brother.
Brothers, this is very important.
How could Meng Yi dare to shirk? He hurriedly put on his formal clothes and followed the envoy to the palace.
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, with a smile on his face. Different from the indifference and hostility of Chang'an Jun and Ma Fujun, Ying Zheng looked very kind and gentle... He first asked about Meng Yi's many situations, and then asked about his future.
Thinking about it, Meng Yi was not so nervous at the moment, probably because of the goodwill expressed by Ying Zheng. Meng Yi said seriously: "I want to complete my studies and then go to university. I heard that Marquis Wu Cheng is going to establish a university...
."
"When I finish my further studies, I plan to go to the local area to serve as the county magistrate. I want to govern the place well... I hope that one day, I can take over the position of prime minister." Meng Yi finally showed something different, such as his lofty ideals.
Ideals, his diligence. This makes Ying Zheng very satisfied. As a man, you should have some ideals, even if they seem so out of reach, you must work hard to try.
"Shan looks very much like my mother, as gentle and kind...My father always told me that one day, I will become Shan's father...to take care of her instead of him. I look at her
If she wants to grow up, I won't stop you. I sincerely hope you can live a good life. But don't hurt her. She can't stand the hurt. If you let her get hurt once...",
Ying Zheng looked at him and smiled, but did not say anything clearly.
Shan, the apple of Zhao Kuo's eye, is going to marry someone else.
Shan looked a little happy, looking forward to a bright future every day. Zhao Kuo was also smiling, happy for his daughter's happiness, even though he felt a little sad in his heart.
Weddings in this era are not that cumbersome and do not require too much waiting and too many etiquettes. Especially when Zhao Kuo himself does not like these etiquettes, these tedious things save a lot. Shan wants to get married.
The day was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Kuo seemed a little absent-minded when doing things. Zhao Kang could not attend the wedding because he still had many things to do in Kuaiji County.
Sometimes Zhao Kuo felt that time passed very slowly, and other times, he felt that time passed so quickly.
In the dead of night, Zhao Kuo always sits indoors and chatters: Art... our daughter is getting married. It would be great if you could see this scene.
Finally, the wedding came soon. Meng Yi was kind, and the two young men were officially married. Zhao Kuo sat on the upper seat and watched his daughter-in-law pay respects to him. He smiled happily and the wedding was held.
Most of the time, Meng Yi was driving the car to take Shan away from here and return to their home. Shan was so happy and happy at this moment, until she turned around and saw someone in the crowd of farewells.
The father secretly wiped his tears.
Zhao Kuo stood among the crowd. He looked a little rickety and his back was no longer straight. He looked blankly at his daughter who was going away. Even though he comforted himself over and over again in his heart, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Tears. Shan also started to cry. She wanted to jump out of the car and rush to her father's side. Meng Yi hurriedly comforted her. We will visit him every day in the future. If you go there now, he will be even more sad...
After sending Shan away, Zhao Kuo's mansion became empty.
Zhao Kuo stared at his empty mansion and sighed helplessly.
At this time, Wang Ben brought the troops recruited from Chu and Wei to the border of Qi. When he heard the news that Qin was sending troops, the King of Qi was particularly frightened. He hurriedly sent his troops to attack, and could not let Qin's troops
The army marched into the land of Qi State. Qi State recruited a total of 400,000 troops. These 400,000 people set out from all over Qi State in such a mighty manner that all roads were crowded with these soldiers.
They looked chaotic and disorganized. Those generals who were appointed by bribes did not know how to fight or manage an army. They did not look like an army, but like bandits. With these people, Zhao Kuo led three or four people.
Ten thousand people, no, or ten or twenty thousand people can defeat them until they collapse... This is the first time Wang Ben leads an army on an expedition. He is very cautious and has learned the essence of his father.
He first arranged for an army to confront Qi's main army on the frontal battlefield, while he took the rest of the army directly from Chu to the royal capital of Qi. In Qi, facing Qin's attack, the officials
There was great panic. Within a few days, many ministers resigned and hid at home. Similarly, soldiers fled in large numbers. The internal government affairs of Qi State were extremely chaotic, and the entire country was shrouded in great fear.
middle.
But not all Qi people are like this.
When Qi came to its last moment, those Qi warriors who had endured it could no longer bear it. They tried every means to get in touch with the King of Qi. Zhao Kuo had several disciples of Qi, and these disciples created a new world in Qi.
A far-reaching new school of thought. The founder of this new school of thought was Tian Qian, one of Zhao Kuo's first disciples of Qi. They were staunch anti-war activists. They opposed all wars, but they also agreed with the great unification.
Their theory of unification is joint rule, which is to establish a unified country. The kings of the seven countries will jointly elect a king every year to serve as the emperor and manage the world... This was a democratic election that Zhao Kuo inadvertently revealed.
The influence of system. When Zhao Kuo first heard about it, he was also startled, and then calmed down. The goal of this school of thought seemed absurd, but it was not without its merits.
And this school of thought in Qi, which is also the Liantong sect of Ma Fu theory, is still very important in Qi State. Many ministers recognize their academic theories, and even Hou Sheng did not object to it. However, they had gathered together before.
, encouraged the scholars in Jixia Academy, hoping to have Hou Sheng step down and allow King Qi to come to Jixia Academy, so that the scholars could elect the most suitable ministers and officials from various places.

At this time, this school of thought instantly became a street rat. Yes, the ministers could agree to elect the king because they were not kings, but they did not agree to elect the ministers because they were ministers. Hou Sheng sentenced them to treason and caught them
Their leader executed him, and then arrested all the party members from all over the country. The new school quickly declined. However, at this last moment, those members of the hidden school couldn't bear it any longer.
They took the opportunity to gather together and wanted to rush into the palace and meet King Qi.
During these days, Hou Sheng directly cut off the contact between King Qi and other people. They pinned their hopes on King Qi. The warriors in the palace soon discovered their movements and hurriedly tried to suppress them, but King Qi responded to this
Everything is unknown. Hou Sheng ignored these people in the country. Even if they see King Qi now, they will not have any impact on the current situation, Hou Sheng thought.
All Qi's troops were stationed on the front line of Wei. Such a deployment was very unreasonable. They established a "Maginot Line" of 400,000 people on the front line, leaving both sides to the enemy.
Wang Ben took a detour from Chu and directly bypassed the defense line and entered Qi's homeland. Here, he did not encounter a single soldier. They were all empty cities. Qi sent all its soldiers to Wei...
When Qin's army of tigers and wolves came to the capital of Qi, there were only a few thousand Qi soldiers stationed in the capital.
However, the brave soldiers of Qi State still fulfilled their duties and loyally guarded Wei's front line without moving. When they heard about the large-scale Qin people appearing in the rear, the generals of Qi State said that this was a conspiracy of the Qin people. They
They wanted to return to the army and defeat the defense line. Therefore, they could not pay attention to these rumors. They just stationed here and waited for the main force of Qin to attack.
Wang Ben's army surrounded King Qi's capital and began to build siege equipment.
King Qi was desperate.
