Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Buying People's Hearts, Hui Wengong Wisdomly Convinces Zhang Yi

When Su Qin returned to the posthouse, he unexpectedly found a person dressed as a scholar waiting at the door. Su Qin took a closer look and saw that it was the Qin envoy Gongsun Yan. He hurriedly jumped out of the car, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Daliang Zao!" Gongsun Yan clasped his hands back and said with a smile, "The unexpected guest, Gongsun Yan, has seen Su Zi." "An uninvited guest is also a guest." Su Qin laughed and pointed to the door, "This is not a place to welcome guests, please!" Gongsun Yan bowed his hands and said: "Su Zi first please!"

The two walked into the hall hand in hand, where the guests and the host sat down. Gongsun Yan looked at Su Qin with emotion: "Su Zi, it has been more than a year since we left Xianyang!" "Yes," Su Qin also sighed, "When I was in Xianyang, I was grateful to Daliang for making a wrong love. I always think about it, and I am very grateful!" "Ashamed, ashamed!" Gongsun Yan shook his head again and again, "I'm all incompetent, I've wronged Su Zi!" "Speaking of this," Su Qin said with a chuckle, "I can't thank you enough."

"Oh?" Gongsun Yan said in surprise, "Su Zi has experienced all the grievances, and I want to thank you?" "This is what I thank you for." Su Qin said frankly, "I will tell you the truth, Brother Gongsun, if it were Qin Dezhi, I would not reflect on it, nor would I be able to understand the way of unity." "Speaking of He Zong, I have some concerns. I wonder if Su Zi is willing to listen?" "Brother Gongsun, please speak." "Su Zi advocated the combination of vertical and well-intentioned, and my subordinates are very impressed. Su Zi looks from a high place and starts from a low place. He can see his extraordinary courage everywhere, which also makes my subordinates admire him. However, Su Zi neglected one thing, which is that people's hearts are different. I have thought about Suzi's strategy of coordinating vertically, and what I talk about is nothing more than power checks and balances. Suzi opposed the Qin people because he ruled the people with the law and persuaded them with power. But what Suzi did was not also to use power to suppress people?"

Su Qin said with a chuckle: "Brother Gongsun, this is a misunderstanding. The advocacy of unity is not more important than persuading people with force, but more important than persuading people with reason. What I said below only seeks to check and balance power, not to overwhelm it. Therefore, it cannot be said that people are overwhelmed by force.” Gongsun Yan smiled back and retorted: "Suzi's advocacy of the unification of the three Jins is nothing more than that, and this has developed into the marriage of the six countries, and only the Qin country is the enemy. Isn't it bullying the few and bullying others with power? "

"My next move will benefit Qin without any harm. How can I bully the few with the crowd and bully others with power?" Gongsun Yan smiled bitterly: "Hey, Su Zi united the world to control the lonely Qin, and it can be said that it has a lot of benefits for Qin and has no harm. It's really interesting!" "Brother Gongsun is pretending to be confused." Su Qin said with a chuckle, "Six kingdoms love each other, there are six hearts, the same desires in the Qin state, it is one heart, six hearts are against one heart, if there is a fight, please ask Brother Gongsun, Which side is better?"

"If the six hearts are united, of course it will be even better." "Brother Gongsun, can the two armies talk about what to do before the battle?" Su Qin asked back, continuing what he just said, "Although the six countries are united, they are like a plate of loose sand; although Qin is a country, it is like a weight. A plate of loose sand is like a weight. , Which is better, which is better, need not go on to say. Besides, Qin is a country with four fortresses, and the solidity of mountains and rivers is better than a million soldiers. Not to mention the six countries and six hearts, even if the six countries work together to attack Qin, the outcome is close Between them, this is the first thing; Qin has six enemies, all of them must have the same desire, fight hard, mobilize horses, make every effort to rule, eliminate disadvantages and promote benefits, so as to maintain vitality, and fight against the enemy, this is the second. The combination of Qin has great benefits, but there is no harm. , isn't it a good thing?"

"This—" Gongsun Yan was tongue-tied. "Also," Su Qin seemed to be having some fun, and said again, "The purpose of Hezong is to control Qin, not to destroy Qin. I have appealed to the emperor for a plan to annex the world with the power of Qin, but fortunately it has not been implemented. Otherwise, the world will be destroyed." Perhaps blood will flow into rivers, which is contrary to my original intention. I am now seeking unity, aiming to establish a new pattern of peace among princes, reconciliation among nations, and joint governance of the world. In one move, the next step is to have a dialogue with Qin and seek a way to reconcile the world. However, this is a long-term plan. The first step has not yet been decided, and there is no way to talk about the second step. I will appeal to Brother Gongsun and hope that Brother Gongsun Forgive me."

"Alas," Gongsun Yan sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Su Zi is looking for righteousness, and I look down upon him. I'm not talented, so I wonder what I can do for Su Zi?" "Assist Duke Qin to make Qin stronger." Gongsun Yan was startled for a moment, then understood, pointed at Su Qin, and said with a chuckle, "Okay, Su Zi, I really have you!" Laughing again, he stood up and said goodbye. Su Qin sent him to the door, cupped his hands and asked with a smile: "I think of something, and I really want to ask Brother Gongsun." Gongsun Yan paused: "Su Zi, please tell me."

"It's a private matter." Su Qin stepped forward, pretending to be mysterious, and said in a low voice, "Brother Gongsun, what did you say to Pang Juan when you went to Wu'an Lord's Mansion that day?" Gongsun Yan also took a step forward, leaned close to Su Qin's ear, and whispered in the same mysterious tone: "I didn't say anything else, but I just talked about Brother Su's prestige in other countries, his ostentation and ostentation in detail." After Gongsun Yan finished speaking, the two pointed at each other and laughed knowingly. The Qin embassy is located next to Su Qin's post, no more than a hundred steps away.When Gongsun Yan returned to the post, he sat down and meditated for a while, so someone called Gong Zihua and asked, "Is there any movement there, grandson?"

"Since that night, no one has looked for Sun Bin. However, I only got the report from below. Pang Juan drove to Nanjiekou after leaving the court today, stopped in front of the temple, and went into the temple to visit his grandson." "Pang Juan?" Gongsun Yan asked in surprise, "What did he do?" "I don't know," Gong Zihua replied, "To prevent accidents, the black eagle did not dare to approach, so he has not learned the details." Gongsun Yan thought for a while, and told him: "At present, the three Jins are vertically established, and Su Zi is seeking to join Qi and Chu. Once the six kingdoms are vertically established, Qin will be in danger! Dangerous passes can solve immediate emergencies, but they are not a long-term strategy. The use of troops depends on the commander-in-chief. , Whether you can get your grandson right now is very important. Let’s take a step ahead, report to the emperor, and seek countermeasures. You stay here and keep an eye on your grandson. You must be careful of Pang Juan’s harm, and you must not let Su Qin succeed. There is Pang Juan in the Six Kingdoms. It has already become a great harm, and if you get a grandson again, it will be a great disaster!"

Gong Zihua nodded, turned and left. Because the west of Handan is the endless stretches of Daxing Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, and the road is rugged, Jia Sheren and Zhang Yi agreed to choose the southern route, via Wei and Han, leave Chaoge and Suxukou, and follow the river to Luoyang. Then enter Xiaoguan and Hangu Pass to enter Qin Dynasty. Jia Sheren drove a four-horse cart and purchased a batch of special products from Zhao and Yan, most of which were precious medicinal materials, such as musk and ginseng antler. They filled two boxes and pressed them under the cart, carrying Zhang Yi and Xiangnv. Slowly drove away from Handan, headed for Chaoge. On the second day after Jia Sheren's departure, Chu Li hurriedly ordered Zhao's men and horses to return to the court, and they happened to choose the southern route.After a few days of walking, he had already caught up with them.Seeing that it was them, the people of Jiashe pretended not to know them and gave way to the roadside.Since then, the two sides have been in the wrong direction or in the wrong direction. Although they have not spoken a word along the way, they have traveled together and sometimes stayed in the same inn. Thirty days later, two groups of people arrived in Xianyang on the same day. Chi Liji went straight to the Qin Palace, had an audience with Duke Hui Wen, and explained in detail how Su Qin set up a scheme to humiliate Zhang Yi, and how he was in pain after Zhang Yi left. After hearing this, Duke Huiwen sighed, "Oh, I lost Su Qin in a single thought. Although I won Zhang Yi, I'm not happy!" "Your Majesty," Chili said anxiously, "According to Su Zi's recommendation, Zhang Yizhi is definitely not inferior to Su Zi." Duke Huiwen smiled wryly, "Do you even believe Su Zi's words of self-effacing?" Chi Liji argued: "Your Majesty, I believe that Zhang Yi's talent is exactly what Su Zi said. If nothing else, it can be seen from the fact that he helped Chu destroy Yue. The rise of the lower ranks, the gathering of capable ministers, the happy death of the scholars and the people, and the sharp edge are approaching the Central Plains. Zhang Yi has been in Chu for less than two years, but he helped the king of Chu to destroy it in one fell swoop. Such achievements have never been seen before!" "I don't need to talk about Aiqing." Duke Huiwen interrupted him decisively by waving his hand, "If this person has great talent, he would not be trapped in Chu and humiliated in Zhao. From this we can see that in Chu, he is not as good as Chen Zhen ; In Zhao, he is not as good as Su Qin." "This..." Chi Liji was completely confused by Duke Huiwen's words. He was tongue-tied and stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the past cannot be pursued. Su Zi is no longer available, and I cannot." Lose Zhang Zi again!" "Okay, okay, the widow knows." Hui Wengong glanced at him, showing an impatient tone, "You get up too, this time Zhao several months, Aiqing's pommel horse is exhausted, it must be hard work, go back Raise it for a few days, and then come to court." Chu Liji had no choice but to resign. Seeing him withdraw, Duke Huiwen coughed, and his ministers stepped out, bowed and waited aside.Duke Hui Wen didn't raise his head, but closed his eyes and said, "If Mr. Jia arrives, invite him to come!" The minister should have passed, and hurriedly withdrew. Jia Sheren took Zhang Yi and his wife to Shizi Street and stopped in front of the inn where Su Qin once lived. After Su Qin left, Chi Liji ordered to rectify Shizi Street, fined and confiscated the property of the owner who brought the inn, and used it as a merchant county. Business plummeted.The Yunlai inn changed owners several times. The new owner was a retired sergeant. One of his hands was cut off during the Battle of Hexi. Without any hesitation, Zhang Yi immediately took a fancy to the courtyard where Su Qin once lived. Jia Sheren sighed secretly, and also chose a house of his own, and paid a deposit along with it.Zhang Yi ordered Xiao Er to boil hot water, close the gate of the prison, Liu Xiangnv took a bath in the bathroom, and rushed to the front hall with her family, asked Xiao Er to arrange wine and food, and was about to drink freely, when a car stopped outside the door, looking for Ask the family. Sheren went out, and hurried back after a while, smiled wryly at Zhang Yi, and sighed: "Oh, business matters are really annoying. I... have to go out for a while, I'm really sorry!" Zhang Yi smiled, turned her head and bowed: "Brother Jia can go and do his work, put the food here first, when Brother Jia comes back later, you and I can have a drink." Jia Sheren don't pass by, and go away in the car of the visitor.Zhang Yi sat blankly for a while, then ordered Xiao Er to collect the food and drink, and then went back to the small courtyard. Xiangnu had already come out of the bath and was combing her hair in front of the mirror. Seeing him come back, she smiled and asked, "Where is Mr. Jia?" "Going out." Zhang Yi replied, sat down, and closed her eyes slightly. Xiangnv thought for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Mr. Jia will not leave us alone again, right?" Zhang Yi ignored her. Xiangnu gave him a sideways glance, and was about to ask a question, when a horse neighed in the backyard.Xiangnu recognized that it was Mr. Jia's horse, she laughed and said, "Where is the slave's family thinking? Mr.'s carriage and horse are still in the backyard." Jia Sheren didn't return all night, and didn't come back until the next morning. He still smelled of alcohol, and when they met, he cupped his fists and sighed: "Oh, Zhang Zi, I'm really sorry. After I went last night, I happened to meet Guan Zhong. Rich businessman, force me to drink, and I have too many drinks, so I can't come back." Zhang Yi smiled and clasped his fists in return: "Brother Jia can enjoy himself to the fullest, I am also happy." Jia Sheren laughed and said: "To tell the truth, Zhang Zi, this wine is not for nothing. That wealthy businessman is very familiar with Zhongnan Mountain, and I want to buy rare goods, so I can't do without him! It just so happens that he is going to enter the mountain today. , I want to go with him for a while." He took out a bag from his sleeve and turned to Xiangnu, "This is thirty gold, Madam, take it, I don't know how long it will be before I go to the mountain, Madam has it Can't be without money!" Xiangnv hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhang Yi, clasped her fists and thanked, "This time I came to Qin, everything I eat and use along the way belongs to Mr. So much money, how can we get it?" Jia Sheren couldn't help saying, stuffed the money bag into Xiangnu, and said with a smile: "Madam doesn't take the money, so why don't you still want to sell the sword?" Xiangnv blushed, accepted the purse, and thanked again with her fists clasped. Jia Sheren pointed to the carriages and horses in the backyard and said to Zhang Yi: "There is no road in the mountains, so I leave the carriage and horses to Zhang Zi. If you two are bored, if you want to go for a walk, you can also travel instead." Zhang Yi thanked them, Jia Sheren bid farewell to them, and strode out. For the next few days, Zhang Yi sat in the living room, staring blankly at the old locust tree in the courtyard.Of course, Zhang Yi didn't know that Wu Qin had been hanged from this old tree, let alone that Su Qin had lived in this courtyard back then, and had stared at the old locust tree in a daze just like him. Xiangnv was a little anxious.Before that, no matter whether it was in Yue State or Chu State, Zhang Yi often had not yet arrived, and the overall plan had already been planned, and he started to implement it as soon as he set foot on the ground. He was either looking for this or that, and he was very busy. Happy.Entering Qin Dynasty this time, Xiangnv feels that Zhang Yi seems to have become another person, she is indifferent, and her mood is extremely depressed, even if she smiles, it seems to be forced out, not from real joy. Xiangnu knew that he didn't want to join Qin, but she didn't know the reason, because he never revealed his family affairs.At this time, seeing him so uncomfortable, Xiangnv wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to persuade him. She had an idea, and laughed: "Husband, Xiangnv had a dream in the morning, and she dreamed that there would be an adventure. Xiangnv thought After much deliberation, we have been guarding this courtyard from morning to night, where did the adventure come from?" Zhang Yi raised her head, glanced at her, got up and walked out of the yard, found Xiao Er, asked him to prepare a car, asked the store to settle the money, and ordered Xiang Nu to pay. Xiangnu was stunned and said, "Husband, aren't you coming back tonight?" Zhang Yi replied: "Didn't you dream of an adventure? I'll take you there." Xiangnu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhang Yi's gourd was going to sell, but she knew that once he made a decision, he must have thought it through clearly, so without saying a word, after paying the shop, seeing that Xiaoer had already fitted the car, she went jump on it. Zhang Yi drives it personally and runs straight to the east gate.After leaving the city, Zhang Yi sped up his horse and galloped towards Luoshui. When Xi Liji heard that Zhang Yi and his wife had gone out of the city, he thought they were going to relax outside the city, so he didn't take it to heart.When he learned that the two had settled the store money, Chi Liji became anxious. He sent people to follow him, and if necessary, notified the border gate to find a reason to stop them. After listening to Chi Liji's Chen Zou, Duke Huiwen smiled faintly, turned to his courtiers and said, "You inform the border again, don't stop him. Let him go wherever he wants to go!" The minister agreed, turned and walked out. "Your Majesty?" Xi Liji was dumbfounded. "I see you are in a hurry." Hui Wengong looked at his surprised look, and laughed, "Don't worry, Aiqing, I guarantee that this precious lump of yours will not leave Qin State for half a step." Seeing that Duke Qin was so determined, Chi Liji became more and more puzzled: "Why?" "Because he has nowhere to go." After finishing speaking, Duke Hui Wen took out the chess game from the table and slowly opened it up, "Come on, come on, we haven't played chess for a long time." Chi Liji had no intention of playing chess, but he didn't dare to resist the order, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight casually. As a result, he lost two games in a row within an hour.Duke Hui Wen seemed to be very interested in chess and refused to give up, so Chi Liji had to restart the game. When the chess game reached the middle game, the courtier came in and reported: "When Tan Ma came back, as expected, Zhang Yi and his wife did not go to Hangu Pass, but turned towards Luoshui. It looks like they went to Shaoliang. " Hearing the word "Shaoliang", Chi Liji suddenly realized, and shouted: "He is going to Zhangyi, to...to worship the ancestors!" "Although the man has come, his heart is not convinced!" Hui Wengong said with a chuckle, "How can we not let him go back and have a look? Alright, Aiqing in Xili, it's time to take care of you. If you lose again, it's up to the widow How to punish you!" Xi Liji nodded in admiration, fixed his eyes on the chess board, and said with confidence for a while, "Your Majesty, this humble minister is sure to win!" He took out a piece, and it landed on the shovel with a "pop". "It's the widow who will definitely win!" Duke Hui Wen also took out a piece, held it in his hand, and laughed again, "However, if the widow wants to win completely, I still need the help of Aiqing to perform a small show." "Small play?" Chili asked in surprise, "What small play?" Duke Huiwen dropped the chess piece in his hand with a "snap", and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, you'll know when you get to that point." Zhang Yi and his wife spent the night at Xiaoxing, riding fast like flying horses, and on the third day they rushed to the border of Liang. Along the way, Zhang Yi hardly spoke. The closer Zhang Yi was, the more depressed Zhang Yi's mood became, and the speed of the car gradually slowed down.Xiangnu didn't ask any more questions, just sat in the car and stared at him with concern. Zhang Yi finally arrived. Thinking that there was no longer any place for him to stand in the town, Zhang Yi stopped his horse and sighed, and drove to the field, heading straight for the ancestral grave. Under the high slope of the ancestral grave, Zhang Yi stopped the car, stared at Xiangnv, and said solemnly, "Madam, we are here." It was the first time Zhang Yi called her madam so solemnly since she got married. Xiangnu was startled for a moment, then burst into tears, and walked over moved, looked at the direction he was facing, nodded and said: "Husband——" Zhang Yi pointed to Gao Po in front: "Ma'am, do you know where this is?" Xiangnu seemed to understand, nodded and said, "It's our home." Hearing this, Zhang Yi burst into tears, choked with sobs and said, "Madam said it is our home." Holding her hand, "Let's go, let's go home." The two held hands and climbed up the high slope step by step. The slopes are lush. When walking to the cemetery, Zhang Yi threw Xiangnv away and looked around the cemetery in surprise, because the whole cemetery had been renovated, surrounded by a low earthen wall, and many pines and cypresses were newly planted inside. Hundreds of pots of chrysanthemums, all of which are potted, are neatly arranged and blooming in the cold wind. At first glance, it looks like a huge chrysanthemum garden. What surprised Zhang Yi even more was that there was a tombstone taller than a person on each grave, and an altar carved out of a whole stone was set in front of each tombstone, and various sacrifices and flowers were placed on the altar. Dazed for a moment, Zhang Yi suddenly realized that not only his family's ancestral grave had been taken by the Qin people, and with a "boom" in his mind, he rushed to the grave where his parents were buried together, carefully inspecting the stone tablet, and found that the inscription on the tablet was: It is still the name of his parents.Zhang Yi anxiously looked at the other inscriptions, each inscription was clear and correct, even on Zhang Bo's grave, there was no mistake or omission. Zhang Yi was completely bewildered, and stood there stupidly, not only forgot to worship, but also forgot Xiangnv. But Xiangnv understood, walked slowly to Zhang Yi's side, knelt down in front of his parents' grave, bowed down with tears in her eyes.Seeing her, Zhang Yi came to her senses and knelt down beside Xiangnv to worship together. After paying their respects, Zhang Yi murmured: "Father, mother, Yi'er is unworthy. She has wandered around for many years, and now she has returned home without any success. She failed to honor her ancestors and win the spirit of the two elders. Yi'er's only achievement is to bring back to the Zhang family. A daughter-in-law. Although Yier is unworthy, the daughter-in-law is virtuous, and today she came to visit her parents, and hope that her parents and adults are in heaven and bless her with happiness!" Only then did Xiangnv realize that her parents-in-law were under the grave in front of her, and she wept, "My unworthy daughter-in-law, Gongsun Yan, pays her respects to her father-in-law and mother-in-law!" Zhang Yi wept with Xiangnv for a while, and began to take her to worship the graves one by one, telling her the story of the person in the grave each time he worshiped one.The last one is Uncle Zhang. Zhang Yi talked about how he worked for their family, how he brought him up, and how he never left when they were in misfortune, and went with his mother.Xiangnu burst into tears when she heard this, she paid her respects to his grave several times, and murmured, "Husband, Uncle Zhang has been exactly like Uncle Jing all his life." "Yes," Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Whether it's Uncle Zhang or Brother Jing, they are all good people. There are always bad people in this world, but there are more good people..." Zhang Yi was feeling emotionally, when there was a sound of chaotic footsteps on the slope, it seemed that several people were rushing up. Zhang Yi turned her head to look, and was stunned, because it was Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui who rushed in front of her.Behind them were two half-grown children, the older one was five or six years old, and the younger one was two or three years old. Both sides were stunned for a while, Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui'er came to their senses, stumbled to the front, knelt down and kowtowed, weeping with joy: "Master!" The two children also followed, the older one knelt down, and the younger one didn't know what happened , Xu Shi was so frightened, he fell down on the spot with a "plop", and cried. Zhang Yi also regained her composure, and stretched out her hand to hold Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui'er: "I really didn't expect it to be the two of you, hurry up, hurry up, the young master has something to ask." The two got up, Xiao Cui'er picked up the crying child, and while threatening him not to cry, looked at Xiang Nu. Zhang Yi hurriedly asked Xiao Shun'er: "You... what's going on? When did you come back?" "Reporting to the master," Xiao Shun'er said carefully, "that day... After leaving that day, Uncle Zhang recognized Tweety as his daughter, and the marriage between the villain and Tweety was fulfilled. The villain and Tweety had nowhere to go Go, go to Hedong and stay at Uncle Zhang's house. Not long ago, Young Master Wu visited us and brought us back." "Master Wu?" Zhang Yi was startled, "Which Young Master Wu?" "That's... that young Liang Kuo Shao who our family competed with Master in martial arts all those years ago. Master, Young Master Wu is really amazing right now, it's Shao Liang Ling!" Zhang Yi pointed to the cemetery: "Are these made by Master Wu?" "Yes." Xiao Shun'er nodded and replied, "Master Wu not only renovated our family's ancestral grave, but also returned all our real estate and real estate. The guy who took over our property has also been punished by Master Wu. Villain My family has been living in the original big yard of our house for a while, guarding the family property for the master. Just now, the villain heard that a car and horse drove straight here, and said that two people got out of the car and came to the cemetery. The villain I asked her about her appearance and thought she was the master, so I hurriedly brought Tweety and the two cubs over to have a look." Zhang Yi fully understood, let out a long breath, and said with a chuckle: "Xiao Shun'er, Xiao Cui'er, and the two cubs, come, come, and pay your respects to your mistress!" Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui'er hurriedly pulled the two children to kneel on the ground and kowtowed to Xiang Nu.Xiangnu blushed and hurriedly pulled them up, and the family walked down the slope and returned home, talking and laughing. Xiao Shun'er ordered his servants to kill pigs and sheep, and the whole family felt like celebrating the New Year.When it was dark, Xiao Cui'er had already prepared their bedroom, and Zhang Yi walked into the new house with Xiang Nu's hand like a newlywed. After wandering for many years, Zhang Yi slept in her own home for the first time, on the couch she grew up sleeping on.That night, Zhang Yi felt the relaxation she had never had before, and she slept very soundly. The waves of snoring sounded like rolling thunder from a distance, shaking Xiangnv tossing and turning. She sat helplessly on the edge of the couch, looking at the Zhang Yi stretched out her limbs, taking up almost all of the huge bed. Yes, this is his home, where he was born and raised.Guarding by the side is Xiao Shun'er who plays with him, is loyal to him, and obeys everything. In the morning of the next day, Zhang Yi had eaten breakfast, and told Xiao Shun'er: "Prepare the car, and go to Shaoliang with the young master!" Xiao Shun'er pointed at the gate of the courtyard: "The villain has already prepared, master please!" Zhang Yi went to the gate of the courtyard and saw that the carriage of four horses was ready.What was even more to his liking was that Xiao Shun'er found out the stone roller that he used to compete with Young Master Wu back then, and erected it conspicuously in the courtyard. When Zhang Yi saw the stone roller, he laughed happily, took a step forward, rolled up his sleeves, clasped the two ends of the roller with both hands, and shouted "Qi", the stone roller was already supported by his hands.Amidst the applause of the crowd, Zhang Yi took the stone roller and walked around the car, put it lightly on the car, clapped his hands, and smiled at Xiao Shun'er: "Good boy, you should be more thoughtful!" Xiao Shun'er chuckled a few times: "Master's mind, the villain has already figured it out." "Okay! Go find some people!" "Okay!" Xiao Shun'er responded, and lightly clapped her hands in the courtyard. A dozen strong men came out from the side room and stood in front of Zhang Yi, bowing down and waiting for orders. Zhang Yi glanced at them, nodded in satisfaction, and shouted loudly: "Go, let's compete with that kid!" Zhang Yi and Xiao Shun'er were so shocked here, seeing that Xiangnv was in a fog, she grabbed Tweety and asked, "Tweety, what are they doing here?" Tweety glanced at them: "Mistress, don't worry, they are playing a joke." "A joke?" Xiang Nu became more and more puzzled, and looked at Cui'er with wide eyes. "It's all old stories," Cui'er smiled, and turned to Xiangnu, "If the mistress wants to hear it, I will tell you." Xiangnu naturally wanted to hear about Zhang Yi's past, so she couldn't wait to say: "Tell me quickly." Tweety pulled Xiangnv along and rushed to the back garden, where she described Zhang Yi's old affairs in detail.Outside the courtyard gate, Xiao Shun'er had already placed the footstool, Zhang Yi jumped on it, Xiao Shun'er swung his whip and urged the horse, a dozen strong men trotted behind the car, and a crowd of people went straight to Shaoliang in a ostentatious manner. Someone reported to the Shaoliang Mansion earlier, Wu Qing personally led the people in the mansion to welcome them out of the city gate for a few miles, seeing Zhang Yi's posture, and seeing the stone roller on the rear of the car, he laughed and said, "Well, you Zhang Shizi, you can't wait to see Zhang Yi." What year has it been, and I still remember that thing!" Zhang Yiyi said: "What happened back then is because I missed the appointment! Today I come to the door, one is to apologize to Master Wu for breaking the appointment, and I implore Master Wu to punish, and the other is to fulfill the contract, I implore Master Wu to enlighten me!" Wu Qing saluted back, and said with a smile: "Okay, since Zhang Zi came to challenge, I will definitely fight next time! But—" Pretending to look around, lowering his voice, "This is not a place for martial arts, and I invite Zhang Zi to have a drink in the lower mansion. Yijue, when you are full of wine and food, I will find a place of geomantic omen and compete with Zhang Zi!" Zhang Yi also laughed, clasped her fists and said: "Guests do as they please, I would like to listen to your lord's orders!" The two joined hands in the same car, came to Shaoliang's mansion to say goodbye and met afterward. Wu Qing recounted in detail how the Battle of Hexi was tragic, what happened to the Wei people in Hexi, how he rose up, how Duke Qin judged right from wrong, and governed Hexi, etc., and finally sighed: "Oh, it's a unique skill to get to that step. Lu, I just want to die happily, but unexpectedly, the emperor pardoned me, let go of the past, and returned all the property in Xiatian, and sealed him as a Shaoliang army lieutenant. After that, he was repeatedly promoted, and thousands of subordinates were all pardoned, waiting for Qin People." He sighed again, "Oh, to be honest, I wanted to save face at the beginning of the Xia Dynasty. I refused to be an official and felt ashamed of Wei. Later, I realized that we are subjects. No matter who is the master, the subjects will always be the subjects. Who Let us live, we should work for whom. As for who owns the world, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, even a great talent like General Gongsun has voted for Qin, why do we have any reason to save face?" "Brother Wu's words are very true!" Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "I have always thought that the Qin people were cruel and regarded them as enemies. When I entered Qin this time, I only learned the truth after hearing and seeing. I come here and ask Brother Wu about something else. .” "Brother Zhang, please speak." "The next family property, when will it be returned?" Wu Qing closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Since Brother Zhang asked, I will tell the truth. That year, the Duke of Qin issued a special edict to amnesty Wei Min and return half of Wei Min's property. The official who took Brother Zhang's property forcibly On the grounds that there is no one in Brother Zhang’s family, he refused to return it. Two months ago, for some reason, Duke Qin urgently ordered his subordinates to quickly return the other half of Brother Zhang’s family property and repair the ancestral grave and family temple. The matter of the magistrate's resistance to the law and tyranny was reported to the emperor. The emperor was furious and ordered to cut his rank and title. According to the Qin law, he was killed in the city, and all his clansmen were slaves. I will not hide it from Brother Zhang. I did this , it’s just an edict.” Zhang Yi suddenly realized: "That's how it is!" "What's the matter?" Wu Qing asked puzzled. "To tell you the truth, Brother Wu," Zhang Yi smiled slightly, cupped her hands and said, "I'm coming back this time, one is to go home and have a look, and the other is to meet Qin Gong. It's just——I have nothing to do with Qin Gongxiang, and I don't have any referrals. I don't know Wu Will you help me with this?" Wu Qing replied with great emotion: "Of course." He paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Looking at the situation, Your Majesty thinks highly of Brother Zhang. With Brother Zhang's talent, if he sees Duke Qin, he will be of great use." Zhang Yi cupped her hands again: "Thank you!" Zhang Yi stayed in Zhangyi for three days, and went to Xianyang with Wu Qing to meet in the palace. When Duke Huiwen heard that Zhang Yi had come, he declared that he would meet in his study.Hearing the sound of footsteps, Duke Huiwen stepped out of the courtyard and descended to greet him.Zhang Yi and Wu Qing kowtowed on the spot, but Hui Wengong didn't say a word, he lifted one up with one hand, hehe smiled and took the two hands together, walked up the steps, and entered the living room. Duke Huiwen sat in the main seat, and when he turned around, he saw Zhang Yi and Wu Qing making gestures to worship, and pointed to the accompanying seats on both sides with a smile: "Sit, sit, sit, haven't you seen the ceremony outside the door?" Zhang Yi and Wu Qing looked at each other, seeing that Mr. Hui Wen was so easy-going, they also laughed and sat down. Seeing that they were sitting still, Duke Hui Wen looked at this for a while, then looked at that for a while, and said with a smile: "My widow has heard about the competition between the two of you. How is it? Have you decided the winner?" Both of them laughed. Wu Qing cupped her hands and said, "Report to Your Majesty, that was eight years ago, and the outcome has already been judged." "Oh?" Duke Huiwen was very interested, "Which one of you will win?" Wu Qing chuckled: "It was originally Zhang Zisheng, but the humble minister played tricks and barely tied the game, but in fact he lost." "But I heard that," Hui Wengong smiled and glanced at the two of them, "Zhang Zi won the first game, tied the second game, and Ai Qing won the third game. Why did Ai Qing admit defeat here?" Wu Qing chuckled again: "The three competitions were all made by Weichen, so it's not a matter of taking the opportunity. The third competition is to lift stone rollers, which Weichen has practiced for eight years, and the victory is invincible. , so admit defeat." "Oh?" Duke Huiwen pursued the matter, "Since you have said so, why didn't Aiqing admit defeat on the spot?" "Well," Wu Qing smiled awkwardly, "Back then, the humble official was too young to save face, so he refused to admit defeat." Duke Huiwen laughed loudly, pointed at Wu Qing and said, "Well, you Wu Qing, you have spoken from the bottom of your heart this time!" Holding back his smile, he glanced at Zhang Yi, nodded to Wu Qing, and said, "Well, Aiqing can do it too. That's right, you must never admit defeat in the arena! As for stealing and playing tricks, sometimes it is necessary. Back then, when widows fought against crickets, every battle was sure to win. Apart from strength, there were also many tricks in it!" Speaking of this, Duke Huiwen seemed to be recalling the past, and couldn't help laughing again. After laughing, he casually talked about how he cheated and played tricks in the arena in the past.The speaker's eyebrows were beaming, and his voice was vivid, and the listeners' eyes were straightened, and they couldn't believe that those things could be done by the king of a country. More than half an hour passed, and Hui Wengong was still immersed in the child's play with Wu Qing. He seemed to forget that he was summoning Zhang Yi, and even completely ignored Zhang Yi's existence, because for a long time, he didn't even look at him, only paying attention to him. Focus on Wu Qing. Zhang Yi was fooled by him. During this meeting, he has already prepared several sets of countermeasures, including how to analyze the general trend of the world, how to deal with the combination of Su and Qin, how to strengthen the national power of Qin, and so on.However, Duke Huiwen was talking about child's play with great interest at this moment, which he did not expect.Fortunately, he had already cultivated a strong concentration in Ghost Valley, even though his heart was pounding, he didn't show it at all on his face, he still closed his eyes slightly, sat upright on the table with a half-smile, and listened attentively to the two people's jokes. Mr. Hui Wen was talking very vigorously, and his ministers reported to the doctor, Chi Li, to see him. Huiwen Gong said happily: "Oh, it's Aiqing in Chili, let him see you!" Chuli knocked on him quickly, and after three prostrations, Duke Huiwen pointed to Zhang Yi and introduced him: "Qili Aiqing, you came just in time. I will introduce you to him. This is Zhang Zi, Wu Aiqing's old acquaintance. I am chatting with them about my childhood. The play is very pleasant!" Xi Liji pretended not to know, looked Zhang Yi up and down, thought for a while, scratched his scalp and said: "Dare to ask Zhang Zi, but you are from Handan, Zhao State?" Zhang Yi cupped his hands and said, "Exactly." Xi Liji looked at him again, and asked again: "Ask Zhang Zi again, have you ever been to Xiangguo's mansion?" Knowing that he was embarrassed to mention that day again, Zhang Yi blushed slightly, nodded and said, "I've been there." Xi Liji didn't hesitate anymore, and then asked: "When you go back to Handan next time, is it Zhang Zi who will accompany you all the way?" Zhang Yi nodded again: "Exactly." "Ouch!" Chi Liji was surprised and delighted, and cupped his hands again and again, "We are really destined for each other!" "Oh?" Duke Hui Wen pretended to be puzzled, looked at Zhang Yi, and then at Chi Liji, "You two...know each other?" "Report to Your Majesty," Chili said quickly, "This time, I have met Zhang Zi in Zhao's Xiangguo's mansion as my envoy, and I walked with Zhang Zi all the way when I returned, but—" After a short pause, "Zhang Zi changed his clothes They are like two different people before and after, and I feel that I have known each other before, but I have no bottom in my heart, and I dare not take the liberty to recognize each other." Duke Huiwen pretended to be surprised and stared at Zhang Yi with wide eyes: "Oh, so Zhang Zi knows Su Zi?" The play that Hui Wengong and Qi Liji performed was obviously specially for Zhang Yi to watch.At this time, Duke Huiwen deliberately asked about Su Qin, but Zhang Yi didn't want to mention it any more. He lowered his head and was thinking of words to prevaricate. Chi Liji helped him out of the siege, and took over the conversation: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhang Zi and Su Xiangguo are not only acquainted, but also belong to the same family." Where are the senior brothers!" Duke Hui Wen became more surprised: "Oh? Zhang Zi and Su Zi are still from the same family?" Unable to avoid it, Zhang Yi bit the bullet and nodded, humming. Duke Huiwen laughed and said, "It's really interesting. I know Su Zi acquaintance. He came to Xianyang the year before last, and publicized the emperor's strategy in the street. I want you to rule the world. I don't want him to be arrogant. I don't want him to hold grudges." , go to Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries, make a joint arrangement or something, and only fight against the widow." With a long sigh, he shook his head half teasingly and smiled again, "Oh, Guigu disciple, I can't afford to offend you!" Zhang Yi heard the sound outside the strings, her heart sank, she was thinking to herself, Chi Li hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Zhang Zi is very different from Su Zi." "Oh?" Duke Hui Wen looked at Chi Liji with interest, "Tell me, Ai Qing, why is it different?" Xili said frankly: "This time in Zhao, I have heard Su Zi's arguments many times. I feel that although he is talkative, he can't help but exaggerate the truth. Although Zhang Zi is not good at words, he can speak clearly. I beg It’s really pragmatic. I heard that Chu’s annihilation of Yue was probably due to Zhang Zi’s plot.” 尽管此话不合实情，但张仪听出樗里疾是在想方设法为他解脱，面上虽无表现，心中却是感激。 “嗯，爱卿所言，寡人也有耳闻。”惠文公点点头，转向张仪，拱手道，“张子光临偏僻，寡人未能郊迎，失礼之处，望张子宽谅。” 张仪回揖道：“仪落难而来，君上不弃，于仪已是大恩。仪家庙祖庙，君上不废不说，且又特旨维护，更是隆恩浩荡，仪万死不足以报！” “张子言重了！”惠文公呵呵笑道，“此事不屑提的。张子家住河西，当是寡人子民，张子祖业家庙，寡人自当维持。说到这里，张子此番回来，也算是回家了。张子是大才，寡人幸遇，即起贪心，有意请张子随侍左右，早晚指点寡人，还请张子不辞！” 张仪拱手道：“仪既为秦民，就是君上的子民，君上但有驱使，仪赴汤蹈火，在所不辞！” 惠文公朗声道：“好！”转对候在一侧的内臣，“拟旨，封河西郡少梁人氏张仪为右庶长，随侍寡人。另赐咸阳城府宅一座，仆役三十人，金三百，锦缎五十匹。” "The minister leads the order!" 张仪没有想到惠文公会当场封官，愣怔有顷，方才起身叩道：“微臣谢君上隆恩！” “爱卿平身。”惠文公呵呵笑道，“爱卿初来乍到，一路劳顿，先去府中将息数日，寡人再来讨教！”转对樗里疾，“这道旨就发予你了，张爱卿若是休息不好，寡人唯你是问！” 樗里疾叩道：“微臣领旨！”
