Chapter 39 Section Four

Cai Ze was very depressed, he lived in secluded places and drank alone in Yanyuan all day long in light clothes and lying on stones. After ten years in the Qin Dynasty, he achieved nothing and was in a high position with nowhere to focus. Cai Ze didn't understand how he slipped into such a situation step by step?At the beginning of the year when he entered the state of Qin, Fan Ju was forced to leave the state with a few words of speech, and he became Prime Minister of Qin, attracting the attention of the world, but what a demeanor he is!However, after all, Cai Ze is a celebrity sent by Ji Ran, and he is a high-ranking official to do great things, and he will never give up with only a golden seal dangling around in vain.However, Cai Ze was always drifting in the clouds and mist as Prime Minister during the old Qin Dynasty's twilight period, as if he was not aware of his body and his heart was not looking for the bottom.The old king of Qin inspected Guanzhong, and he put forward the strategy of "enlightening the law, reorganizing the fields, and emphasizing the rivers and canals". .The old king of Qin had only a faint sentence: "Li Bing needs the support of the whole country to control the water in Shu, and it is okay for Qin Zhong to slow down." Ze Yi, Gang Chengjun, Gao Jue, only dealt with the matter of the crown prince's establishment, and the Guanzhong River Canal was completely lost.Although Cai Ze was puzzled, there was nothing he could do.After Li Di was over, he went north to Hexi again, but Lu Buwei failed to pick him up, and returned to Xianyang and became a dismissed official again.Although it is still possible to intervene in the government affairs of the Prime Minister's government, in the end he feels bored and does not want to intervene.Cai Ze couldn't figure it out, how could the power of the prime minister's mansion be so blurred with the sharpness of the old King of Qin?How can I turn a talented minister like myself into a special envoy who takes care of everything?I have repeatedly wanted to ask the King of Qin to ask for trouble, so as to teach the old King Qin to be sober, but after thinking about it carefully, in the past ten years, Qin has indeed not had any major military affairs that have surpassed him. Isn't it boring to ask for trouble?I also wanted to resign from Qin many times and go to other countries to perform, but when I think of the six countries in Shandong, it is even more lifeless. Even a great talent like Lord Xinling is forced to live in other countries for a long time and cannot do anything, let alone such a rootless scholar?If things go on like this, not to mention comparing with Shang Yang, even Zhang Yi, Wei Xie and Fan Ju will not be able to compare. I am afraid that in the end, he will only be able to compare with Gan Mao, who is so weak and weak.Thinking about it carefully, even Gan Mao can't compare.Gan Mao has no great talent but has great luck. He is also a general, great power and extremely powerful minister. What happened to the palace without going through the battlefield?How can such a mediocre idle life like my own be compared to Ganmao?

"Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want!" Cai Ze couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Traveling with words, to write about my worries." A joking chant came from the forest. "Tang Ju? Come out!" Cai Ze staggered and stood up laughing, "If you fall in love with me again, will you die!" A person came out from behind the trees and boulders, hugged a small round wooden bucket and smiled leisurely: "I heard that someone died from hard work, but now someone died idle. The fate is so strange, how can Tang Ju know all about it."

"Lu Buwei? Alas! I miss you!" "How better to die drunk?" Lu Buwei slapped the mahogany and stabbed it, "Mr. Gang Cheng has a good taste, a century-old Lanling!" Cai Ze took the barrel and patted and sniffed it in a serious manner: "Tsk tsk tsk! Chu people have century-old wine?" "Famous scholars don't know the products of Chu, and Mr. Gang Cheng is also a wonder." Lu Buwei sat down on the large bluestone board under the tree and smiled leisurely. But to compete with the Central Plains, I am afraid that when the Chu Xiong tribe made wine with mountain fruits, there was only corn wine in the Yin, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties. The proverb says: Chu people like to drink, and they would rather fight with wine. For the tribute, the wine official of the state of Zhao pretended to be inferior, so the state of Chu launched a large-scale attack on the state of Zhao, and said that only 500 stabs of the old wine of the state of Zhao were required. You said, the world is a war of wine, who is better than Chu? Can the people of Chu have no good wine? ?”

"It's useless to say it well, the old man tastes it first." Cai Ze muttered half-drunk and half-awake, pulling on the copper hoop of the wine barrel, but there was nowhere to start, and he continued to mutter, "What bird barrel? There is no mud seal, no wood Guy, how can a chaotic thing pretend to be drunk? Maybe it’s an old coconut with a gourd from Lingnan!” "Is the old coconut and light gourd the same?" Lu Buwei took the exquisite mahogany barrel with a smile, and pointed as he opened it, "The Central Plains wine jars are sealed with mud, and the Chu people's wine barrels are sealed with wood. Gangcheng, let's take a look: the outermost one The wooden cover can be opened by turning it; the cork that closes the mouth of the barrel has a small head and a big tail, and it will be more dense during long-distance transportation; use this copper screw to rotate and insert the cork, pull it out with all your strength, open, open, open! " One word fell, and only heard "Boom!" A big cork was released from the barrel, and a burst of wine fragrance immediately permeated the forest.

"Hey—it smells so good!" Cai Ze raised his nose in amazement and quickly took a big bowl, "Come on, come on!" Lu Buwei held his breath and hung in the air to pour it high, but he saw that the line of Yin Hong was sticky and slippery like oil, but the white pottery bowl was filled with a clear and bright red! "Amber and jade, why can't you bear to drink it!" Cai Ze marveled and looked at it like a treasure. Unexpectedly, he took a small sip from the tip of his tongue, and suddenly he drank it dry in two gulps. How can there be a word for wine!" "Everyone has their own preferences, and this wine suits your taste and taste!" Lu Buwei laughed, "To be honest, each is good at winning. Zhao Jiu is strong, Qin wine is clear, Yan wine is thick and hot, Qi wine is mellow, Wei wine is sweet, It’s just one side of water and soil and the other side of taste.”

"Alas, sir! You are open to all kinds of people!" Cai Ze laughed loudly with his drake voice. "Wine to me is just a business trip to distinguish things. It's not as good as a good drinker who is infatuated." Lu Buwei smiled modestly, "Gang Chengjun but likes this wine, but Wei can afford a barrel every month. If there are too many, there is nothing to do." searched." "What do you mean? One barrel per month?" Cai Ze's hazy old eyes suddenly opened and he slapped the stone slabs, "Okay! This life is enough for me! But with this wine, it's nothing to do with it!"

"The way of all things has its peaks and valleys." Lu Buwei said that enough should be enough, and looked at the red-faced and drunken Cai Ze with a smile. "Ah! That's right! When will you come back? Is the journey smooth?" Cai Ze suddenly realized. Lu Buwei laughed loudly: "Ah! You took me back to Xianyang, forgot?" "The old man is not drunk!" "As long as you don't get drunk." Lu Buwei saw that Cai Ze was indeed half-sawed, so he talked about the situation when he came back.A month ago, Meng Wu took two hundred cavalry to escort Lu Buwei and his party back to Xianyang safely.When they arrived at Songlinyuan in Beiban, an official from Siche Shuchang's Mansion delivered an order in a special car: Lu Buwei is involved in royal affairs, and he can enter Beijing according to the county order and live in a post house for official affairs.Lu Buwei smiled and asked if there is a mansion, can it be self-determination?The official replied yes.Lu Buwei bid farewell to Meng Wu and walked around the city, returning to Xinzhuang in the south of the Weishui River.Ying Yiren, who had nothing to do, was so happy that he couldn't speak. He drank and talked with Lu Buwei until the fourth watch that night.According to Ying Yiren's suggestion, Lu Buwei should immediately visit the Prince's Mansion the next day and agree on the date for him to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan.Lu Buwei advised the stranger not to get restless, but to rest and recover.The next day, Lu Buwei arranged the affairs of the village: his wife, Chen Xuan, was in charge of all family affairs, while the old boss of Ximen was only in charge of foreign affairs; a group of old deacons in Lu's business company were also divided into two groups. The ones belonged to the old boss Ximen, and the rest of the servants and maids were distributed by Chen Xuan and the old boss through discussion.In less than three to five days, the inside and outside of the manor will be clean and orderly, and the whole manor will be completely satisfied with the wife.Lu Buwei felt at home for the first time, and felt at ease, so he immersed himself in the study and read "Book of Shang Jun".Ying Yi was worried but had nothing to do, so he wandered around the garden all day playing Qin Zheng, ignoring everyone.

On the tenth day, An Guojun's mansion sent an elder to send a letter, asking Lu Buwei to go over to the mansion to reminisce about the old days.Lu Buwei went as promised, An Guojun did not wear the crown of the crown prince, nor did he receive him in the state affairs hall, but the couple hosted a family banquet to entertain the guests.During the dinner, An Guojun Yingzhu rarely spoke except to express his gratitude and persuade him to drink repeatedly, but Mrs. Huayang asked about Zichu's situation with concern.At dusk, Lu Buwei said goodbye, Ying Zhu insisted on sending him to the gate of the house to watch Lu Buwei board the car and drive away before turning around.After two ten days, there was no movement.

"Are you in a hurry too?" Cai Ze chuckled, seemingly gloating. Lu Buwei smiled lightly: "Aren't you happy that I came to play chess with you?" "Aha! Really don't want the old man to give advice?" "It's up to God. Buwei just handed over the man to the prince. He's not in a hurry for me?" "Stupid! Is that the prince's business? The prince is in charge, can he wait for a month?" "Even the old King Qin is average, just let it be." "Hey! You, Lu Buwei, can hold your breath!" Cai Ze lowered his voice mysteriously, "If you want to gain a foothold in Qin, this old man will give you a way! If you want to leave, won't this old man run out of good wine?" Lu Buwei Laughing loudly: "In the four seas, as long as Buwei is alive, you, Gang Chengjun, have good wine. Is there something like yours!" , breathing a strong smell of alcohol, "We are all Shandong scholars, what's the point if we don't help each other? The old man clearly said that the old Qin king can still make a decision, so I will write a letter to see you immediately, and ask the old Qin king to directly issue an edict to make the stranger The young master recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, and makes a grand ceremony to crown and rectify his name, so as to clarify his status as a descendant and grandson!"

"Sooner or later, is it okay to be so anxious?" Lu Buwei still smiled lightly. "Stupid!" Cai Ze patted the slate, "Sooner or later, it will be Ying Yiren! What about you? Don't want to use your own strategy? You can delay, you can't delay! Now that the young master is impatient, you just push him out to come forward. How could the old King of Qin not allow it? But you, Lu Buwei, instead advised the young master not to worry, it's really strange!" "If you let nature take its course, you won't be able to lose your whole body?" "Impossible!" Cai Ze gasped, "Old King Qin was paralyzed from the wind in his old age, and his life was hanging by a silk thread. Even if he could save his life for a few years, who can keep him awake all the time? As soon as he returned, An Guojun's fat and soft shoulders supported Qin's strong ministers and warriors? At that time... Cough! Slippery, don't say anything!"

"I didn't hear it, Gang Cheng-jun said it again." "Okay! I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it!" Cai Ze laughed. "Come on, how about playing chess?" "Okay! Play chess!" Under the thick shade, the breeze blew gently, and the chess pieces crackled in the long chirping of cicadas.Before the game was over, Cai Ze lay down on the stone slab and snored loudly.Lu Buwei smiled and got up, called the boy servant under the big tree in the distance to take care of Cai Ze, and then left leisurely. Ying Yiren caressed Qin Zheng carelessly, but his heart was extremely irritable and depressed. "My life is so difficult! What do I want?" Qin Zheng sang along with a loud voice, and Ying Yiren couldn't help but burst into tears.Born as a humble maid, he felt a strange coldness when he was a child.The sternness of the teachers and officials in the mansion always seemed to be mixed with contempt, and the carelessness of the maids and servants always seemed to reveal contempt.When he was a teenager, he finally met Meng Wu, who was like-minded, but was suddenly sent to Zhao Guo as a hostage.More than ten years of suffering and humiliation as a hostage almost completely wiped out his joy in life. At that time, what he hated the most was the body of this prince. He swore to the heaven countless times that he would never be a descendant of the royal family again in the next life!But at this time, Lu Buwei bumped out, and he became a celebrity in a daze, and lived a prosperous life that he had never enjoyed in Qin State.When he was excitedly savoring this dreamlike glory, and was concentrating on building an indomitable feat with Lu Buwei, on that night in Populus euphratica forest, the heavens suddenly dropped a mysterious bosom friend to his heartstrings.Seeing that the Goddess is about to collapse physically and mentally, Zhao Ji miraculously becomes his new wife!Marrying Zhao Ji, Ying Yiren truly tasted the joys of life for the first time, knew the beauty of women for the first time, and immersed himself in a very fresh passion and enjoyment like never before.Zhao Ji is a fiery and unrestrained woman who can afford to let go, not only does not have a slight indifference to Lu Buwei because of her "brother and sister friendship", but also treats him with the ambition of "rather losing a king and grandson than a beautiful woman". Drunk like crazy.Just when the two were burning with forgetfulness, Lu Buwei suddenly separated them alive!At that moment, Ying Yiren once again felt inexplicable hatred for his king and grandson.Li Zhao returned to Qin, and survived the catastrophe with three swords and four arrows in my body. God should torture me to the end.Unexpectedly, when he returned to Xianyang, he would be coldly held in this lonely village in the countryside, and no one would pay any attention to him, even Meng Wu, a young friend, would not dare to keep him.Hastily moved to Lubuwei Xinzhuang, but still ignored him.The crown prince is his father, and the old king of Qin is his eldest father. They don't know that they have returned to Xianyang?Impossible!In this way, they are deliberately forgetting themselves.The royal family is ruthless, the court is ruthless, it has been the same since ancient times, what can the husband say?God, God, you repeatedly tortured Ying Yiren with sudden cold and sudden fire, but you finally let go like this. It's so boring, don't you think it's ridiculous? Amidst the sloppy and disorderly Qin Zheng, Ying Yiren's heart was completely cold.Gradually, everything disappeared from his heart, only the beautiful Zhao Ji smiled at him vividly!Ying Yiren clearly remembered that he and Zhao Ji spent a short period of forty-three days and nights, one day and three hours in Handan. They only ate thirty-eight meals and spent the rest of their time in that courtyard. Every corner of the place is unforgettable!Every time he thinks about this, Ying Yiren's heart throbs inexplicably, just when Zhao Ji's face flashes in front of his eyes, a strong warm current will flow through his heart , all the pain disappeared without a trace. As the sun set, Ying Yiren picked up Qin Zheng, walked out of the willow forest by the pool, and walked into his small courtyard. After a while, he strode out of the quiet courtyard gate in casual clothes with a horsewhip and a long sword on his back. . "May I ask where you are going, Master?" The old boss Ximen who came to meet him was greatly astonished. "Father Ximen, have I been detained?" "Where did you come from, my son? This old man came to inform me: Mr. Lu wants to discuss matters with you. How could he!" "The matter has come to this, how can we discuss it?" Ying Yiren said coldly and left. "Young master can't be offended by this old man." The always peaceful and serene old man Ximen stepped forward and bowed at the head, "Young master, as the grandson of the heir, General Meng Wu will hand over to you and Lu Zhuang as an official, if you leave without saying goodbye , Why did Duke Lu speak to the State of Qin?" "Old Simon doesn't think so!" "The young master is rude, but the old man can't neglect his duty." "You! What job do you have? An old slave! Get out of the way!" "Even if the son kills the old man, he can't leave without saying goodbye." The old man was tepid but refused to budge. Ying Yiren's face was ashen and suddenly shouted angrily: "Lu Buwei! Where did you hide—!" "Who's saying that Lu Buwei is hiding?" Lin Wai said with a familiar smile, and Lu Buwei, who was dressed in linen and long clothes, had already arrived in front of him, looking at Ying Yiren's attire, he couldn't help laughing angrily, "Young master, what kind of a man is he? Do you want to be a knight?" ?” "I don't want to be decent! I'm going to the country of Zhao! Find Zhao Ji!" Ying Yiren sat down on the ground and choked up. After a long silence, Lu Buwei walked over and said in a low voice, "Master, go in and talk, there are many mosquitoes under the forest." Ying Yiren wiped his tears and went into the courtyard silently, but sat in the hall but remained silent.The old maid who had followed Ying Yiren for more than 20 years came but was at a loss.Lu Buwei waved his hand as a signal, and the old maid stepped out of the hall and guarded the porch.Lu Buwei turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, life and death are already in disaster, but please tell me why such a reckless act suddenly happened when you are done with great success?" Ying Yiren said coldly: "It's okay to deceive yourself, why bother to deceive others? This is also called great success. No one cares about returning to Qin, and your parents are like abandoning your shoes!" Lu Buwei was suddenly stunned, and bowed solemnly with a long sigh: "Young master thinks so, it is not Wei's fault. I thought that after this life and death disaster, the young master has a deep mind and insight. Zeng, you must be able to clearly observe the current situation and sharpen your impetuous mood, so I have not had a thorough discussion with you, please forgive me." Ying Yiren blushed, rubbed his big hands and muttered: "How dare you blame me? I can't stand being so cold, and I'm even more afraid that no one will pay attention to me, as if I was a hostage back then..." "My son lives in Luzhuang and feels lonely. It's not Wei's fault. Today you and I make tea for the night!" Lu Buwei's heart is already clear, and he has been thinking about the long-term in the study for days, but he ignores Ying Yiren's long-term heart disease that can't bear the coldness and loneliness. Never forget this joint!While thinking about it, he waved to the old maid in the corridor, "Old sister, bring some good tea and cook it! How about your tea craftsman?" The old maid admired Lu Buwei the most, upon hearing the words she hurriedly saluted, she responded with a smile without saying a word, and then briskly entered the main hall.After a while, the fragrance of tea filled the air, Lu Buwei shrugged his nose and said in surprise: "Hey! It smells like fried batter, is it even tea?" The old maid replied with a smile: "General Meng Wu sent you the son, and said it was Hu tea." Lu Buwei sighed and smiled enviously. "Ah! I have never tasted Hu tea before drinking tea from the north and the south. I will ask General Mengwu for a way to buy it in a car!" The absent-minded Ying Yiren suddenly cheered up, and waved his hands again and again as if he had suddenly realized: "Hurry up! Take Hu tea! Give it all to Mr. Lu! I drink the same tea, it’s a waste of money!" The expression was unexpectedly excited.Lu Buwei said with a smile: "One bucket is enough. Wouldn't it plunder people's beauty?" Ying Yiren, however, slammed the case: "How can Lu Gong understand my heart! Other people only hate that this Hucha is not a river and mountain community!" Lu Buwei cupped his hands solemnly and said: "This is Xianyang, not Handan, so please be careful." Ying Yiren sighed with tears in his eyes, "A foreigner has been fed a lot in his life, and he has never given something away! Mr. Lu can reluctantly part with his unmarried wife and become me." Infatuation, what can be rewarded for such great virtue?" "Young master is missing!" Lu Buwei suddenly changed his expression, "Zhao Ji is my righteous sister, how could he!" "Among love affairs, publicity is pedantic!" Ying Yiren wiped his tears and laughed, "Qin people and Zhao people all come from Rongdi and Hu Fengxi. There is no bond between men and women, only love! The words of a marriage contract are just love." Scholars in the Central Plains took it too seriously. The stranger had already seen that day that Zhao Ji and Lu Gong were not suitable. Zhao Ji was passionate and unruly, while Lu Gong had a serious heart. Even if it was a marriage, it would be bitter. Otherwise, the stranger would be infatuated with each other. Yu bosom friend will not compete with the public for love! A fair lady, a gentleman is fond of Qiu. A stranger proposed to Lu Gong on the same day, because he did not know the marriage contract between the public and Zhao Ji, but he saw that Lu Gong and Zhao Ji were not suitable. There are many such people in the world, knowing that they are not suitable, they will not let go even if they die, causing thousands of sorrows! The sharpness of the public lies in knowing the heart and seeing the nature, not being fascinated by shallow love, and not being bound by marriage promises. Pain is pain. But it’s the best of both worlds! Only the public has such great knowledge, and the other person is convinced and determined to follow! Today, the other person dare not hide the truth: Before Lu Gong was in my heart, it was a business collusion between the government and business, and it would be successful. The prognosis is unpredictable; since marrying Zhao Ji, the stranger has sworn to the sky more than once: If he betrays the public in this life, he will be punished by heaven and earth!" With a muffled bang, the teacup fell to pieces on the straw mat, and the hot tea juice splashed blood red on Lu Buwei's white clothes. "Mister is scalded!" The old maid who brought the tea bucket screamed, and hurriedly wiped it off. Lu Buwei didn't know where it was, and let the old maid fiddle with it.Ying Yiren's frank confession was like a sudden storm that shocked him deeply!It should be said that Ying Yiren's vision and insight into the affairs of men and women were far beyond Lu Buwei's expectation. Today's sudden outburst really shocked him!In Lu Buwei's view, Ying Yiren did not hesitate to abandon his great career and proposed marriage infatuatedly. Except for the admiration for his bosom friend because of Populus euphratica Lin's dreamy antiphonal song, he did not know the truth about his marriage contract with Zhuo Zhao, and believed that Zhuo Zhao was just his adopted sister. .Now it seems that Ying Yiren not only knows the truth but also has a little knowledge, and even he has a clear understanding of the distance between him and Zhuo Zhao, which is really hard to describe.If he had really responded to the fiery Zhuo Zhao and lived with her unmarried, how would this matter have ended!According to Ying Yiren, if it wasn't for the success of "Dou Qing" and his heartfelt convincing, the relationship between the two would be just a business with an unpredictable prognosis.If so, Zhuo Zhao became the hot glue for Lu Buwei and Ying Yiren to truly become one?Is my far-reaching plan really solidified by relying on a woman?It's so dark in the sky, it's so ironic!All of a sudden, Lu Buwei couldn't come back to his senses.Fortunately, Ying Yiren vowed that he would never let him down for the rest of his life, and his long-term plans would never go astray for no reason.In the end, it's still a big deal right now. Thinking of this, Lu Buwei came back to his senses and smiled: "This matter is over, so it's okay for you not to talk about it in the future. I just don't understand: Since you don't believe me, how can you be so impatient?" "Without Zhao Ji, I would be just an outcast when I return to Qin..." "No." Lu Buwei shook his head with a long sigh, "Young Master's love is just superficial. The foundation lies in the fact that he has lost confidence in the overall situation of returning to Qin. Those who are desperate for major events will live and die only because of love. If the young master has recognized his ancestors and returned to his clan Wearing a crown and a belt, even if you miss your wife, it is not such a desolate phenomenon. Please refer to the details, but this is the reason?" Seeing Ying Yiren sighing and nodding silently, Lu Buwei smiled, "Forgive me: although the son is the grandson of the king of Qin, I don’t know much about being my grandfather, my father, and even the political style of the Qin State. In the long run, even if I live in the Qin Palace, the son’s heart is still a hostage of the Zhao State, and I am still a stranger to the Qin State, Qin Zheng, and the state of my parents. Why? Take on a big responsibility and hold a public weapon?" "What are you talking about? I'm a stranger to Qin State?" Ying Yiren's smile was distinctly teasing. "Let me ask you, why didn't Mao Gong and Xue Gong enter Qin?" "When you returned to Xianyang, you said that my teacher would enter Qin afterward." "No. They will never come to Qin forever." "Worse? Immortals will not come to Qin? I don't believe it!" Lu Buwei didn't tell the difference, he only started from inviting Xue Gong to Hexi, and he carefully narrated what Xue Gong and Mao Gong said on the night of Shanhekou's farewell, especially the analysis of the old Qin King's political disposition by the two of them. Chengjun Cai Ze's depression and the various "chaotic phenomena" of the current Qin State and Qin Administration.Ying Yiren was stunned when he heard this, but remained silent for a long time. "The two princes did not enter the Qin Dynasty, what does the son think is the root cause?" Lu Buwei finally got to the point. "It is also the constant heart of celebrities to plan major events in the motherland." "Gun Chengjun is in a high position but he is at a loss what to do. What is the root cause?" "Celebrities seek meritorious deeds. If there is nothing to do but occupy a high position, anyone will be hesitant and depressed." "How do you explain the chaos in the country?" "It's rare for a hero to rule in the dark, and it's rare for him to be chaotic. The elder father is paralyzed, how can we clean it up?" "My lord is missing!" Lu Buwei shook his head meaningfully and smiled, "The three answers are all echoing what others say, and they are far from thinking deeply." "The three answers are all wrong? I don't agree!" Ying Yiren's heart suddenly became controversial, "Let's talk about the two first, unless the letter left is not the truth, there is absolutely no other reason!" "The letters left by the two lords are not about reality, but what is appropriate or inappropriate." Lu Buwei sighed softly, "Mao Xue's heart is actually the heart of Shandong scholars: he has scruples about Qin Fa, and he is deeply afraid of losing his freedom. Since then Few famous scholars from Shandong came to Qin. This was the case before Shang Yang’s reform. This is because Qin was poor, weak, barbaric and less literate. Maybe it’s justifiable. So, what is the root cause? It lies in the word "fear of law"! Qin laws are strict, farming and war are emphasized, and meritorious deeds are rewarded. The whole country follows the law; In such a situation, a group of scholars will not dare to enter the Qin Dynasty if they do not have peerless talents. Even if you enter the Qin Dynasty to be your counselors and disciples, you must not give full play to your ability to intrigue! The law of the Qin State has been restored, and there are rules for everything. Other countries can use surprises to win, and they are mostly useless in the State of Qin. If a scholar is useless, it will be boring. Why? Is it worthy to live in? For example, my son, the brief loneliness is unbearable, let alone every year!" "That's right." Ying Yiren nodded suddenly, "As soon as Mr. Lu said it, I finally understood: Handan is really comfortable after meeting the Duke, and the scholar Lin Wangyang, friends and debates are much more comfortable than Xianyang!" Lu Buwei said: "However, the Qin State will always be the Qin State, and those who insist on pruning will have a different atmosphere." "Okay! I accept this matter. Besides, Mr. Gang Cheng, what is the root cause?" "It's not too late to talk about Gang Chengjun's matter in the future." Lu Buwei smiled, "Right now I just ask my son: After hearing the story of Lord Mao Xue, what should we do when we return to Qin Dynasty?" "May you teach me." Ying Yiren bowed respectfully. "My lord, please get up." Lu Buwei held up his sleeve, "My lord, you don't learn much, so how do you start this chapter?" "Since Xunzi came out, Qin Guomengxue started with "Encouraging Learning"." "The accumulated soil becomes a mountain, and the wind and rain blow." Lu Buwei nodded and recited a sentence. Ying Yiren read it word by word: "Accumulated water forms an abyss, and a dragon is born. Accumulating goodness and virtue, and the gods are self-satisfied, and the holy heart is ready. Therefore, if you don't accumulate steps, you will not reach a thousand miles; if you do not accumulate small streams, you will not reach a thousand miles." In order to form rivers and seas. A galloping horse can’t take ten steps, and a rough horse can ride ten times. The merit lies in perseverance. Persevering, the rotten wood will never be broken; Soil, drink the Yellow Springs, put your heart into it. Crabs kneel six times and have two claws. Those who are not the caves of snakes and eels have nothing to rely on, and they are restless. They are drums with no ambitions, no name, and no things to do. Those who do not have great achievements. Therefore, the gentleman is united..." "Okay!" Lu Buwei clapped the case, "This is the verse, can you understand the essence of it?" "Stick to one thing, calm down and let go of impatience." "In the state of Qin, what does this word refer to?" "..." "For you and me, what does the word heart mean?" "..." Ying Yiren was dumbfounded for a long time, and couldn't help bowing again: "May the Lord teach me." Lu Buwei said solemnly: "Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" is a great strategy! Since we said goodbye to Mao Gong Xue Gong Hexi, Buwei thought over and over again, the strategy for you and me to return to Qin is eight words: stick to one thing, keep your heart straight. This One, is the law of the Qin State. When you and I look at things and do things, we only measure them by the law every moment, and we can never make mistakes. This heart is to take every step and not take chances. Together with the son, Qin is now a king, two heirs and three generations. It is unpredictable for the king and the son to be in charge of the public affairs for ten or twenty years. Such a long journey, impetuousness may make a big mistake at any time, and you can't make it to the end unless you step steadily. Even so, the general trend of Qin's successor is clear , as long as you calm down, you can accomplish anything!" Ying Yiren bit his lips tightly, staring straight at the dark night sky outside the window, but his heart was pounding, Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, you wait for me, Ying Yiren will welcome you with grand queen etiquette return!
