Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

But when Zhao Dan was on the side of the commoner faction, the Gongzu faction had nothing to do.

In the final analysis, Zhao Dan's supreme power is still firmly in the hands of Zhao Dan. If Zhao Dan wants to discuss it, he can discuss it. If Zhao Dan doesn't want to discuss it, there is nothing he can do about it.

But Zhao Sheng didn't give up on this, and said again: "My lord, since Yu Qing has been promoted to internal history, the position of lieutenant is already vacant. Why don't you let Dr. Lou Chang be this lieutenant? What do you think?"

In Zhao Sheng's opinion, since the position of internal history cannot be taken down, it is also possible to help Lou Chang to become a lieutenant one step at a time.

But what Zhao Sheng didn't expect was that Zhao Dan actually rejected Zhao Sheng's request again.

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "There is already a candidate for the position of Lieutenant, and you will know soon. If there is nothing else, let's call it a day."

Zhao Sheng was stunned for a few seconds, met Zhao Baolouchang's eyes, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he still sighed secretly, and bowed to Zhao Dan: "In that case, the minister will leave."

Chapter 185 Three people came to Handan City (third update)

January 259, 1 BC, Handan.

On this day, three people came from outside the city of Handan.

The leader is an old man with gray temples. He wears a Confucian crown and a Confucian robe. He has a beard under his chin and the corners of his lips. He looks like a rather gentle old man.

Standing outside the gate of Handan City, the old man couldn't help sighing as he looked at the Handan Avenue in front of him where people were coming and going.

"It's been so many years since we left our homeland, it's not easy for Handan to be so prosperous today."

On the left of the old man is a young scholar in his early 20s. This scholar has a long and narrow face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a black crown and black robe. He looks heroic.

Looking at Handan City in front of him, the black-crowned scholar couldn't help exclaiming: "Master Xun once said that Handan is better than Yingdu. I don't believe it. But what I see today is that what Master Xun said is true. .”

The capital of Chu State is called Yingdu by convention, so the Yingdu mentioned by the black crown scholar is actually not the Yingdu that has been established as the capital of Chu State for hundreds of years and has just been taken back by the great Sima Jingyang of Chu State, but the current capital. Chencheng, the capital of Chu State.

There is also a young scholar standing on the right side of the old man. This scholar looks younger than the other scholar. He is just 20 years old. He is dressed in a blue Confucian robe. He is tall and tall, with a firm face and a pair of The sword eyebrows hang upside down like an inverted horoscope, which is unforgettable.

Looking at Handan City in front of him, the green-robed scholar also had a shocked expression on his face, and said, "What Brother Si said is very, very true."

This green-robed scholar obviously has a stutter.

Although the three of them spoke elegant Chinese, their accents were different.

The elegant language spoken by the old man obviously has a Zhao accent, while the elegant language of the black-crowned scholar has a Chu accent, and the elegant language of the green-robed scholar has a Korean accent.

This is a pair of mentors and apprentices from three different countries.

The three masters and apprentices quickly entered the city through the city gate.

Entering the city, everything in front of them amazed the three of them. The wide streets, the crowded and endless crowds, and the beautiful women everywhere, all showed the three people the prosperity of this Warring States metropolis and the state of Zhao. prosperity.

The old man known as Master Xun sighed once again: "When I left Zhao and went to Qi, Handan was far inferior to Linzi. When I return today, Handan is far better than Linzi. Isn't it true that the king of Zhao is worse than the king of Qi? Therefore, Zhao Guoxing The state of Qi is in decline."

The two young scholars nodded in unison, and said: "The disciple is taught."

The three of them walked forward and met people from almost all countries along the way. Various accents echoed in the air of Handan City.

The black-crowned scholar couldn't help but said: "There are so many people in Handan City. Too many people without order is chaos. Master Xun once said that chaos should be eradicated and ruled by it. Isn't this just in line with the state of Zhao? "

Master Xun thought for a while, then shook his head lightly: "No way. Although the people in Handan are numerous and disorderly, they have done nothing wrong. It is not only a place of little rule, but also a place of little chaos. If the king of Zhao governs it with propriety and righteousness, it will be a good place. Great governance. If the king of Zhao does not govern with propriety and righteousness, there will be great chaos."

The black crown scholar nodded slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and kept looking around, but judging from the expression on his face, it seemed that he was not very convinced by his teacher's words.

And the green-robed scholar on the other side was also thoughtful, and after a while, he showed an expression of enlightenment, nodded repeatedly and said: "Xun, what Master Xun said is very, very true."

The three of them continued on for about half an hour, and finally left the bustling main road of Handan City after asking all the way, and came to another avenue that was also very wide but less crowded.

There are tall mansions on both sides of this avenue, although there are high walls separating them, but just looking at the gate of the mansion, you can tell that it is the home of the rich and the rich.

Although the flow of people on the avenue is small, the traffic flow is not low. The three of them walked for a while just now, and several carriages passed by the three of them. The men sitting above are all rich and well-dressed, and they are full of momentum with their hands and feet. They are obviously high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The travel-worn three were quite conspicuous walking on the side of the road, attracting many strange eyes, the heart of the black-crowned scholar raised his throat, for fear of hearing the sound of ridicule.But the carriage passed by the three of them one by one, but only the sound of rolling wheels and the sound of horseshoes could be heard, so the heart of the black-crowned scholar gradually relaxed as the sound of hooves went away.

After a while, the three of them stopped at the entrance of a mansion that was more expensive than others.

A guard at the gate of the mansion stopped the three of them very politely: "Is there something wrong, sir?"

The words were addressed to Master Xun.

Master Xun nodded and said, "Please tell Miao Qing that Xun Kuang is here upon summoning."

Master Xun's name was originally Xun Kuang.

And Miao Qing's name is of course Miao Xian.

The eunuch of Zhao State ordered Miao Xian.

That's right, even though he is an eunuch, Miao Xian actually had his own mansion in Handan City long ago. Lin Xiangru, a famous official of a generation, had been Miao Xian's servant in this mansion in his early years, and was later accepted by Miao Xian. Recommended to Zhao Huiwang.

The guard looked Xun Kuang up and down a few times, and seemed a bit unconvinced that such a dusty old man could have anything to do with his Patriarch, but he still said, "In that case, sir, please wait here a little while I go to inform you. pass."

The guard's performance clearly fell into the eyes of the three of them. The black-crowned scholar frowned obviously, but he didn't speak. The green-robed scholar was thoughtful, but he didn't speak.

Xun Kuang didn't seem sullen, but smiled very gently and said, "It's time to work."

The guard turned and left. Seeing the guard walking away, the black-crowned scholar couldn't help but groaned softly.

After about a cup of tea time, the guard still hasn't returned.

Dissatisfaction began to appear on the face of the black-crowned scholar, and he said: "This Miao Xian has called Master Xun here, but he is so negligent!"

As soon as the Heiguan scholar finished speaking, the door of the mansion in front of him suddenly opened, and an old man dressed in fine clothes hurried out with a large group of people. When he saw Xun Kuang and the other three, he could not help but show joy and walked forward. Come.

"How did Xunzi come here! But it makes people worry."

Xun Kuang smiled slightly, and bowed to Miao Xian in front of him: "Xun Kuang has seen Miao Qing, and he must have arrived quickly, because the road is difficult."

Miao Xian laughed, and also saluted, saying: "Xunzi doesn't know, I've been waiting for a long time, come!"

Miao Xian shouted, and saw several carriages driving out of the gate, each of which was more luxurious than what Xun Kuang and the others saw just now.

Miao Xian held Xun Kuang's hand very cordially, and said, "Xun Zi will board the carriage with me, and enter the palace to meet the king!"

Chapter 186 Zhao Dan has some thoughts about the future of Zhao Guo (fourth update)

When Zhao Dan heard the news of Xun Kuang's arrival, the monarch of the Zhao Kingdom was struggling to review the memorial.

Knowing that Miao Xian came to report the news that Xun Kuang had entered the palace, Zhao Dan raised his head from the mountain of memorials in front of him, and said to Miao Xian, "Quickly invite Xunzi to enter the palace!"

After saying this, Zhao Dan straightened his body, rubbed his sore wrists, and stretched vigorously.

To be honest, due to the existence of bamboo slips in this era, reviewing memorials is really a physical job. Zhao Dan, who has been reviewing memorials all morning, feels quite tired when he relaxes.
