Crossing the God of Warring States System

Chapter 9 Zhong Wuyan

After Zhou Zihao and the others entered the post house, the people following outside quickly left.

In fact, as soon as Zhou Zihao and the others entered Linzi, a group of people followed and watched their every move.

They were all spies sent by the empress of the Eastern Palace, and they had already received a signal from the empress that they wanted to watch Zhou Zihao's whereabouts.

"What? You mean I want the person you're following to come to Linzi today?" Zhong Wuyan asked excitedly.

"Yes, now they have temporarily settled down in Leju Station."

The man truthfully answered everything he saw today.

"Okay, go down to receive the reward, continue to observe secretly, and then come back and let me know."

Zhong Wuyan ordered.

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

The man stepped back.

Zhong Wuyan would walk back and forth, with joy on his face, push the door open, and walk towards King Qi Xuan's palace.

During the period of King Xuan of Qi, the state of Qi reached its peak, but King Xuan of Qi did not grasp it well, and made three major mistakes that made Qi go downhill: He took a wait-and-see attitude when he joined forces to attack Qin, the Qi-Chu alliance broke down, and the relationship between Yan and Yan Tension, leading to the last step towards weakness.

When King Xuan of Qi just came to the throne, the remaining prestige of King Qi Wei still existed. How to inherit the remaining prestige of his predecessors and consolidate and develop the hegemony of Qi State was the most important issue before King Xuan of Qi.

On the basis of a full summary and study of King Qi Wei's magnificent achievements, King Xuan of Qi established the strategic goal of "opening up land, dynasty to Qin and Chu, and coming to China to pacify the barbarians".

That is to say, Qi State's basic goal is to expand its territory, make Qin, Chu and other countries pay tribute, unify the world and become the leader of the world, and at the same time appease the backward nations around it.

King Xuan of Qi worked hard to strengthen himself and govern with all his strength. In the past few years, the national strength of Qi State has finally been greatly improved. Although the expansion of the country is not very large, the timing depends on grasping.

……

King Xuan of Qi was sitting in his study dealing with government affairs. Things had become increasingly heavy recently, and he was hesitating whether to join forces to attack Qin.Another thing that worried King Xuan of Qi was that his eldest son, Tian Di, had been missing for four years and there was no definite news.

The first thing I do every day is to order someone to look for my son, but I can't look for him with great fanfare, for fear that someone with a heart will find out and use this to cause trouble.

Neighboring Yan State seems not to be peaceful recently, and its own hegemony has not made much progress. Taking advantage of Yan State's chaos, destroy him, so that Qi State's land can be expanded and its prestige will also be enhanced.

A few days ago, I just talked with Meng Ke about how the widow can dominate. His proposal is to ask the widow to implement "benevolent governance", but this is not like my style.

However, there is still something to learn from Meng Ke's words, but he cannot completely follow his advice.

When King Xuan of Qi was worried, there was a knock on the door.Then he ordered his servants to bring them in.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhong Wuyan who came in. According to historical allusions, there is something about Zhong Wuyan, but nothing about the talented woman Xia Yingchun.

According to legend, he came to help King Xuan of Qi through an expert on-demand broadcast. He has outstanding ability and is also good at handling government affairs, but his appearance is extremely ugly.

King Xuan of Qi felt a little timid every time he saw her face, but he thought that when he was living in the world, she was the only one who treated him sincerely, so he realized that a person's appearance was not important.

King Xuan of Qi made Zhong Wuyan his queen, and then gave birth to the prince Tiandi. He felt that this was a gift from God.

King Qi Xuan put down the government affairs in his hand, got up and walked towards Zhong Wuyan.

Zhong Wuyan bowed to the king, with joy on her face, looked up at King Xuan of Qi, and said happily: "My lord, my master just gave me a kit, saying that our son has come to the capital, and there are sages follow."

King Xuan of Qi was extremely excited when he heard the news. He did not expect his son to have returned to the capital with a capable person. He looked at Zhong Wuyan and said, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course, what I said could be false. When I came to help you and became your wife, it wasn't because of the master's tricks that I made it happen. Don't you believe in such an expert as the master? " Zhong Wuyan said.

"Of course I believe it. So now do you know where your son is?"

King Qi Xuan couldn't wait any longer.

"In Linzi City, the master only gave such a direction. We need to guess the exact location."

King Xuan of Qi frowned and thought for a while, then murmured: "In the city of Linzi, a sage...suddenly had a flash of inspiration, isn't that the post house?"

Zhong Wuyan also praised Mei happily: "Your Majesty is really amazing, I thought of it all at once."

King Xuan of Qi knew that this was a compliment, but he felt comfortable, so he quickly ordered the servants outside: "Quickly prepare the carriage, the widow is going to the posthouse."

Zhong Wuyan stopped immediately, then took out another kit, and said, "Your Majesty, look."

King Qi Xuan took the kit, opened it, and read on it: Let him develop himself without interference.

So he changed his mind and decided to secretly observe his son's development in Linzi City.

Zhong Wuyan was afraid that he would be worried, so she told the king what she had arranged.

It turned out that as soon as Zhou Zihao entered the city, Zhong Wuyan received the news, and then sent someone to follow him secretly, but he couldn't be found. Only when his life was threatened could he act.

King Xuan of Qi immediately felt relieved. He was worthy of being a capable and virtuous wife. Although she was a bit ugly, there was nothing wrong with making her queen at that time. Not only did she manage the harem in order, but some political matters I can help share.

However, the king is more interested in the expert behind her, but his old man can't see the end, so it's hard to find someone unless he comes out.

……

After Zhou Zihao and the others settled down in the posthouse, they rested after eating in the posthouse.

Zhou Zihao was in the room, pushing open the window to look at the sunset outside. When he was bored, he thought of the Jixia Academy that the teacher said, and began to think about going to see it. He heard that Mencius is now in charge of the academy.

However, it is getting late now, so we can only look at it tomorrow.

Mencius is the number one master of Confucianism after Confucius. According to historical records, he gave lectures in the Eastern Palace all the year round. During this period, he lobbied the princes of various countries to accept his idea of ​​"benevolent government". Although it is very advanced, there are not many people who can learn the essence.

However, his thinking is too pedantic, and he doesn't know how to adapt it, so that every prince doesn't want to see his theory. Although everyone agrees in their hearts, there is no short-term profit, which is not acceptable in such an era of hegemony.

After he was disappointed with politics, he honestly wrote books in the academy and taught his disciples wholeheartedly.

It was precisely because of his admiration for Mencius that Zhou Zihao yearned for the Academy. Of course he still wanted to see the appearance of the Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy is the source of contention among a hundred schools of thought and the center of emancipating the mind.

Sima Guang praised the Jixia Academy at that time in his "Fu of Jixia" as "the saying of "to the strange scholars of thousands of miles, and to sum up the greatness of hundreds of schools."

What kind of holy land is this? If King Qi Min at that time, that is, my current identity, if I could make good use of the treasure land of Jixia Academy, absorb talents, and perfectly survive the second round of reforms, Qi State would not be able to unify the whole country. Difficult things, how could they end up being destroyed.

Zhou Zihao didn't want to go back to be a prince unless he had to.

Jixia Academy is Zhou Zihao's pursuit. If possible, he hopes to become a master there through his own ability, first teach a group of his own students, and then create his own theory, and then return to the imperial court to reform. It won't be that big.

It's just that they don't know anything about it now. If they ask Su Qin and the others, they can only understand superficially. They know Guiguzi College very well.Guiguzi College is also located near Jixia Academy, in order to attract talents.

Now Zhou Zihao has two choices, if the school is not doing well, then go to Guiguzi Academy to spread knowledge and start an organization.

It is important to accumulate contacts, otherwise you will not be able to gain a firm foothold in the court.
