Chapter 54 Chapter 3

The reorganization was still carried out by the two grass-clothed commoners. Since Hexi left Lu Buwei without saying goodbye, Lord Mao Xuegong returned to Handan, settled all the remaining matters related to Lu Buwei Yingyi, and then happily came to see Lord Xinling.Lord Xinling, who was fighting wine with his disciples, came out to welcome him, and immediately wrapped Xuegong and Maogong into the hot wine.Mao Gong and Xue Gong looked into each other's eyes, and they drank heavily.At the top of the forest on the moon, several of the diners were carried away one after another for their serious crimes of drunkenness, leaving only Mao Gong, Xue Gong, and Xin Lingjun in the forest pavilion.After some sobering up soup, the maid laid out tea sets and tables on the grass outside the thatched pavilion. The three of them were still drunk, drinking the mellow tea from a big bowl of cows, and the sea and the sky were bright under the moon in the forest.

"I have three thousand guests, these six people are called Liuxiong in wine, Liuxiong!" Mr. Xinling's face is bright red and white hair is flying, the leaves are dancing under his feet, and the big bowl in his hand is erratic, "I don't think so, I have an appointment with Liuxionglin today. Serve the wine! What is the outcome? The old man won a big victory! The two masters said, what name should the old man deserve? Ah!" "It should be the king's title!" Mao Gong suddenly shouted, very loud. "Mr. Mao jokes a lot!" Mr. Xinling laughed and laughed, "Mr. Xue is Zhuangwen, please give me a name."

"Wang Hao is the right person." Xue Gong also said clearly. "Jiuxian is in chaos too!" Lord Xinling shook his head and laughed, "This old man has no title, and today's wine battle will end with no fruit!" "Hey, it's too late!" Mao Gong smiled, "It's not because you don't have a number, it's because you have no rules." "This old man doesn't have any rules?" Lord Xinling straightened his face, although he pretended to be angry, he was also aggressive. However, Mao Gong ignored him and said: "In the world, names have their own rules. For example, the two of us, discussing names, Xue Gong is the god of wine, and this old man is the wine god. Mr. Xinling regards Xue Gong as the wine god, and then Refuse the title of wine king, what rules are there!"

"Hey! The wine god Dionysus still has rules? Just tell me." "There are two rules here." Mao Gong chuckled, "First, the difference between gods and immortals. Since the sacred is connected, the great virtues and great abilities are called holy, and the holy and extinct are called gods. The gods are also the heavenly officials. But if there is a god name, there must be a role. For example, Hou Ji ascended to heaven as the god of agriculture of the Zhou people, Shennong ascended to heaven as the god of agriculture of Jingchu, and Gongshu Pan ascended to heaven as the god of work in the world. The rest are like wind, cloud, thunder and lightning, famous mountains and rivers, all of which are god names. Why? In a word, a person without a job is not a god! What are immortals? Heavenly people are scattered. Wizards and abilities are called celebrities, and celebrities who die are called immortals. For example, Uncle Boyi did not eat Zhou millet. , Yu Boya Duqin, Zhuangzi Mengdie, Bian Que is not a medical officer but only determined to save people, etc., and so on, only then can one become a fairy, this is what it means! Power and responsibility! This is the difference between gods and immortals!"

"It can be regarded as the words of the family. The second?" "Secondly, the drinker's style of drinking is also different!" Mao Gong said that he was a foreign god, "He is a hero, but he does not follow the rules of drinking. He is not drunk every time he drinks and can talk about politics. He is called a Dionysus! Such people are like Xue Gong. , If Zhang Yi and Meng Changjun were all like those in those days. They are unrestrained and unrestrained, and their drinking capacity is erratic. When they first drink, they feel like drinking, but the more drunk they are, the more they can drink, and the more drunk they become sober, they are called Jiuxian! Such people are like old people , if it was the case of Chili disease and Lord Chunshen back then."

"In this way, the old man can be regarded as a Dionysus!" Lord Xinling said with great emotion. "Crown and Li Dai, yes and no." Mao Gong chuckled. "That's strange! It doesn't matter if the old man drinks three more buckets, why can't he be called the Dionysus?" "It was discussed by the gods and immortals: Mr. Xinling is neither a god nor an immortal, so he should receive the title of king." Mao Gong was serious. "This old man comes to drink, but he has only heard the name of the wine god and wine fairy. I have never heard of the name of the wine king!"

"No. Drunkard, Drunkard, Drunkard, Jiuxiong, Jiujie and other names, don't Lord Xinling hear?" "What does that have to do with the old man?" Xue Gong suddenly interjected: "The wine name is like a posthumous title, the king of wine is the best wine name, and ordinary drinkers naturally don't know it." Lord Xinling's eyes flashed: "Just tell me, how did this old man become the wine king." "Okay!" Mao Gong stopped his usual giggles, "The one with the title of king, his virtue and ability..." "Stop talking! Is this a wine shop?" Lord Xinling interrupted.

"The old man is blunt." Xue Gong stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Lord Xinling, "Young master has high hopes in the world. After finishing his life as a guest, he returned to Daliang to be the king of Wei. He rejuvenated the great Wei and thought it a barrier for the Central Plains to resist Qin. and also!" "You..." Lord Xinling couldn't help being stunned, "You two have deliberately committed injustice!" "My lord, sit down now." Mao Gong smiled and helped Mr. Xinling to sit in front of the case, "Whether it's intentional or impulsive, in a word, if you don't become the king of Wei, the civilization of the Central Plains will be destroyed!"

"Scaremongering." "Master, you're on the mend!" Xue Gong strode over, "Fang today, Qin is the strongest. On the other hand, among the six kingdoms in Shandong, Zhao is on the decline. The country is a mess, South Korea can't take care of itself, and there is no country that can be regarded as the vertical axis! Only the Wei State, although the country's land is sold out, will always remain in the heart of the river, with thousands of miles of people in the fertile fields. More fundamentally, there is a prince in the Wei State Yan! Your son’s literary talent and military strategy are famous all over the world, and he is also a direct descendant of the royal family. He is favored by the court and the people in Wei Zhongwang, if he can be replaced by the mediocre king of Wei today, why worry about the prosperity of Wei and the helplessness of Shandong?"

"Hey! Xiao Ye Xiao Ye!" Mao Gong's bamboo stick was pounding on the stone slab, "If you become the king of Wei, you should first retreat from Qin, and then reform, and then you can compete with Qin for the world! The king of the world, I will be Wei Ye! Ann! Shandong, what is the point?" After a long silence, Lord Xinling sighed: "The argument between the two lords is like Zhao Kuo talking about armies on paper!" "Why do you know?" Xue Gong looked serious, obviously wanting to tell the truth. "You two are frank, so Wuji will tell the truth." Lord Xinling tapped his knuckles on the desk, "For one thing, this move is against the principles of human relations, and Wuji disdains it! Now the king of Wei is my compatriot, Bingzhao came to the throne, how can I replace him! Two things, although the king of Wei today is mediocre, he has made no major mistakes. Back then, I stole the military talisman privately and killed the general without being convicted, which shows that he is also kind-hearted. Back then, The king of Wei wanted to marry Qin to conquer Han and take back the old land of his ancestors. I strongly advised him, and the king followed him, which shows his clear decision. Wuji lived in Zhao State, and he felt ashamed to betray the king of Wei. Wang Keye, why do so many kings stand on their own and attract the attention of the world!"

"My lord is so wrong!" Xue Gong said solemnly, "But as a king, the country's weakness and the people's fatigue are the first crimes. Good king too!" Mr. Xinling was about to speak, but Mr. Mao laughed and said, "Your pedantry, I don't know until today! Farewell!" Dangdang lit his bamboo stick and left.Xue Gong startled, smiled, cupped his hands, and then drifted away. In the following two years, Lord Mao and Xue Gong seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how the messengers sent by Lord Ren Xinling searched in the market of Handan, they were nowhere to be found.Mr. Xinling has no friends who can express his feelings directly, and he suddenly feels bored and depressed. But it is said that Meng Ao's army attacked Wei, and the monarch and ministers of Wei State were panicked. Anli King Wei Yu conspired with a group of confidants overnight, but there was no long-term plan.King Anli's expression darkened involuntarily.After a long silence, an old minister said in a low voice: "I have a plan, may my king decide whether it will be right or not?"The old minister was even more frightened: "Please forgive me for the death penalty, the minister dares to speak out." King Anli couldn't help being very irritable: "The country is in danger if you are in a hurry to go to the doctor? Even if you plan wrongly, why is the death penalty? Say it!" He muttered: "Wei is talented, do you remember my king? Mr. Xinling..." Then he paused.King Anli's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, please Lord Xinling go back to Wei to fight Qin?!" The old minister didn't dare to answer, he just lowered his head and didn't look at King Anli.The other general hurriedly said, "In my humble opinion, Mr. Xinling will not return to Wei!" "But why?" King Anli was puzzled. "No." The general hadn't spoken yet, but the old minister interrupted resolutely, despite his panic, "Mr. Xinling understands the righteousness. If the king sincerely releases his suspicions, you will be able to return to Wei!" "What is sincerity?" "My son left the country, and the suspicion was created by the military affairs. If you want to solve it, you should still use the military affairs. In the opinion of the old minister, you can see the sincerity of my king by using the soldiers of the whole country and the general's seal commissioner!" King Anli thought for a while and finally made the case, and immediately ordered the veteran to go to Handan as a secret special envoy. What the old special envoy didn't expect was that when Lord Xinling heard that he was the envoy of Wei, he sternly refused and forbade the officials to report again.Such was the case for three days, the old special envoy couldn't even see Mr. Xinling's face, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.Today, I was thinking about everything and regretting my big words, but a post office official came to report that an old alcoholic with a bamboo stick was yelling at the door to see Wei envoy.The old special envoy was saying that he didn't see him, when old shouts resounded in the courtyard: "Miner Wei, if you don't see me, who can you see? Ah!" The old special envoy's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked out to greet him solemnly. Bow: "Dare to ask, but is it the old Wei Gaoshi Maogong?" The old drunkard smiled: "You say yes, I just have to look at Wei Wang's edict, and I have nothing else to do." Dirty old drunkards please enter the hall.After reading the imperial edict, the old drunkard only said that you are always waiting, and then swayed away with his bamboo stick. Since his advice to Lord Xinling was fruitless, Duke Mao and Xue Gong traveled to Zhaobei and Yannan angrily.He stayed in Tianzhuo Village of Old Zhuoyuan for more than half a year. During this period, Zhao Guo Dali escorted the queen of Qin back to Qin, and Mao Gong and Xue Gong sent Zhao Ji, mother and son away.After that, he wanted to go to Qi State, but met Meng Ao's Dalian Mian army stationed on the east bank of Jishui. All the official roads on both sides of Daye Ze were blocked by Qin army.Xue Gong said, you might as well meet Meng Ao, one can find out the Qin army's intentions, and the other can be the effect of paying high attention to teachers.Mao Gong sneered, the Qin army was a sneak attack division in the Spring and Autumn Period, but today the Qin army is fighting with open flames, so I'm afraid you know?I'm afraid that if I go, I won't be able to come back!Xue Gong asked why?Mao Gong repeatedly lit his bamboo stick and said, don't you hear that Meng Ao and Lu Buwei are friends?If Meng Ao insists on sending you and me to Xianyang to meet Lu Buwei, do you still expect to come back?Xue Gong suddenly laughed, ah!I don't understand!The old brother is right, don't go!After some deliberation, the two finally rushed back to Handan. Along the way, they saw the common people in Shandong fleeing the wilderness and fleeing the war.At this time, it was suddenly heard that King Wei's special envoy had entered Handan but Mr. Xinling did not see him. Mr. Mao was alert, and there was a story of a posthouse drunkard.Mao Gong had seen Wei Wang's edict, and he went back to learn about it, but Xue Gong walked away without saying a word. At this time, Lord Pingyuan was struggling with Lord Xinling under the Populus euphratica forest.When Wei Wang's special envoy entered Handan, Zhao Guojun and his ministers were overjoyed, thinking that Lord Xinling must have returned to Wei to reorganize.Unexpectedly, after a few days, things froze!King Zhao Xiaocheng was so anxious that he wanted to speak to Lord Xinling in person, but he was ashamed of breaking his promise to Lord Xinling back then. He felt that the effect was not good, so he summoned Lord Pingyuan for a secret discussion.Mr. Confidence Mausoleum lived in Handan as a guest, and Mr. Pingyuan also felt that there was a subtle gap between Mr. Xinling and Mr. Xinling. The disputes of political opinions, disciples, and guests later turned into a dispute of trust and trust. The originally sincere friendship and family affection were unknowingly indifferent.Although there are banquets and entertainments from time to time, even the diners are well aware that the two young masters are no longer the two young masters they used to be.However, the Qin army is under pressure, and Zhao's hinterland is already under great threat. At this time, only the former powerful country Wei and Zhao, which still have their foundations, can hope to re-establish the alliance and reverse the crisis. At noon in midsummer, Mr. Xinling was playing chess in the thatched pavilion with loose clothes. He picked up a black piece with his left hand and slapped a white piece with his right hand. He shook his head and nodded, seemingly contemplating and carelessly .Mr. Pingyuan was rustling on the fallen leaves on the grass outside the pavilion, talking a few words from time to time, and Mr. Xinling in the pavilion was also answering a few words from time to time.After a long time, Mr. Pingyuan finally entered the pavilion and sat down in front of the big stone table opposite Mr. Xinling, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother Wuji, the survival of Shandong is at stake! Brother, you are really watching from the wall!" "So what if we don't sit on the sidelines?" Lord Xinling was still casually playing chess pieces. "Return to Wei as a general, and unite to fight against Qin!" "Back to Wei? Are you comfortable with me being a prisoner?" "That's unreasonable! Wei Wang's edict moved you, why did you say that you were a prisoner?" "You can believe the king's words, but this old man can't believe it!" Mr. Pingyuan was choked and speechless.Everyone in the world knows that Zhao Guo broke his promise to Lord Xinling, and he was the one who started it, and he was the one who never explained it.This incident not only discredited Zhao State in the six countries of Shandong, but even Qin State scoffed at it.As for Mr. Pingyuan's personal reputation as a hero, it has plummeted. Otherwise, would he be able to stay in Handan in such an urgent time and not rush to join forces?Every time he thinks about this, Mr. Pingyuan feels guilty.If Zhao Guo had kept his promise and granted the five cities to the land when Lord Xinling could not return to Wei, I am afraid that the fief guard army formed by Lord Xinling would also be an anti-Qin army. Consecutively win thirty-seven cities?Otherwise, it will be too late.One step was wrong, Zhao Guo no longer had the appeal of the Shandong banner at the critical moment of losing its teachers and land, and the situation was even more embarrassing than the soldiers coming to the city after the Changping War.At that time, Lord Xinling called out all the countries to save Zhao. The reason was that the Warring States of Shandong used Zhao as the backbone against Qin, and believed that Zhao was a big country with integrity and bravery. If I save Zhao today, Zhao will save me tomorrow!Once upon a time, everything changed beyond recognition... Mr. Xinling's sarcasm openly is like a stab to Mr. Pingyuan's heart!Dazed for a while, Mr. Pingyuan suddenly gave a big drink, and tears poured down his gnarled face. "Brother Sheng..." Lord Xinling suddenly turned around and couldn't help being extremely astonished, he quickly got up and bowed, "Wuji's unintentional words are definitely not revisiting the past, brother, don't care!" "The dishonesty speaks lightly, why blame brother?" Mr. Pingyuan stood up and bowed his head, then walked away. Lord Xinling looked at Mr. Pingyuan's already aged back, and suddenly became irritable for no reason.At this time, the head of the housekeeper brought Mr. Mao and Mr. Xue, and Mr. Xinling couldn't help being overjoyed: "The mud cow has returned after entering the sea, Wuji is lucky too! Old man, serve the wine!" "Today is not the time to gather for wine." Xue Gong bowed his hands in awe, "But it's just for the king to come in and say a word!" "It's not polite, but it's okay to say." "My old brother rushed back from Onozawa, and what he saw along the way was unbearable. Everyone in the city was panicked, and every village fled to Lingnan. The people in the Central Plains were devastated, and the government and the people of all countries were like birds of fright. Qin’s army going east is not the same! The old man said bluntly, the Central Plains is in danger! At this time, the young master is the most respected in the world, so he can only drink wine and play chess leisurely?" "In public opinion, should I throw myself into a trap?" Lord Xinling smiled teasingly. "Wei Wuji is ridiculous!" Mao Gong called him by his first name with a little bamboo stick. "How do you know?" Lord Xinling smiled slightly. "A country is a country of people, not a country of the king alone! To save the nation, how can you care about your own grievances? The world values ​​Wei, and Wei has a king! The world values ​​​​the king, and the king has Wei! Wei without a king will be defeated, and if the king abandons Wei, he will lose The heart of the world! The king of Wei is certainly not a wise king, but Lord Xinling refuses his request to save the country. How can he be a great talent and righteous way? A gentleman is arrogant and arrogant to the world, and he would rather compare his grievances with mediocre kings and destroy the Wei country!" "The king and the state of Wei depend on each other as one!" Xue Gong bowed solemnly. The forest was silent.Lord Xinling's heart was deeply shocked by the words of the two commoner men.A great talent loses his country and ends up as a rotten tree.Living in a foreign country originally only said that he could help Zhao's military and political affairs, and show what he had learned in his chest, but in the end he was restrained everywhere and forced himself to indulge in alcohol and sex. Is the ending good?If things go on like this, keeping one alive is no different from walking dead!In a flash of thought, Lord Xinling stood up against the table: "Get ready to go back to Wei!" Three days later, the outskirts of Daliang were crowded with people.King Anli of Wei led the ministers of civil and military affairs out of the north gate of Daliang for thirty miles, and solemnly welcomed Lord Xinling who had been in other countries for nearly twenty years.The people of Daliang almost came out of the city, wanting to see the appearance of this state leader who shoulders the great expectations of the people of Wei.At dusk, a yellow cloud of smoke swept in from the north.The people all over the field shouted in chaos: "The horse team is coming!" "Long live Lord Xinling!" The horse team gradually became clear, and Lord Xinling's red cloak was flying like a ball of flame.King Anli, who was standing on the high platform outside the pavilion, let out a long breath, and was about to step off the stage, but it was as soft as mud... After everything was smoothed out, King Anli immediately held a grand ceremony on the worship platform built in advance. In the General Worship Ceremony, he solemnly bowed down to Lord Xinling in front of the whole country and his subjects, conferred the seal of the general, and the tiger talisman for dispatching the whole country's troops and horses.When Lord Xinling took over the seal talisman, the people of Wei, who had been depressed for a long time, finally broke out. Thunder roared all over the mountains and plains, and the whole girder was drowned by this magnificent sound.The monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Wei were extremely excited, and surrounded Lord Xinling and shouted countless times in unison to revitalize the Great Wei...
