Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

To put it simply, I was moved by the tragic experience of Chu State, and left tears of emotion, and then I did what I should do.

Speaking of which, Zhao State and Chu State were still enemies not long ago. It seems a bit overthinking to expect these scholars, who are basically from Zhao State, to have a good attitude or sympathy for Chu State.

But as time passed, the situation began to change slightly.

A seemingly prestigious Confucian scholar stood among the crowd and said in a low voice to a dozen or so scholars around him who were also wearing Confucian crowns and robes: "Masters, this is exactly what we are doing. What a great opportunity to get ahead!"

A scholar on the side hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by this brother?"

The Confucian scholar said in a low voice: "This is the prince of Chu, the future king of Chu. Since he has been forced to kneel down and beg for help, he must be in desperate need of help. If we If you come forward to help, once the matter is completed, will the wealth and honor in the future still worry about it?"

The other scholars' eyes lit up when they heard it. To put it bluntly, what is the purpose of everyone coming here to study, isn't it to be appreciated by the kings?

As for whether the admired king is King Zhao, King Chu, or some other king, it doesn't matter at all.

So after some whispering, the dozen or so scholars stepped forward, walked up to the prince of Chu, and said in a loud voice: "It is really embarrassing for us to see the unrighteous teachers in the two countries. , We are willing to help the prince, and we are here today to petition with the prince, asking the king to send troops to conquer the two countries of Korea and Wei, and stop the unrighteous soldiers of the two countries!"

After speaking, these scholars knelt and sat down beside the prince of Chu, each with solemn expressions.

The prince of Chu State took a look at these Confucian scholars, with a very grateful expression on his face, and bowed to these scholars and said: "Thank you for your help today, and there will be great thanks in the future!"

Seeing this situation in the eyes of the surrounding scholars, many people immediately showed thoughtful expressions.

There is not only one wise man.

After a while, several Legalist scholars came out in greater numbers, and also expressed their attitude: "I am not talented, but I am willing to help the prince!"

People have a herd mentality, so slowly, more and more people gathered around the prince of Chu.

After another quarter of an hour, a whole 1000 people had gathered around the prince of Chu, and they began to shout in unison.

"Please stop the unrighteous teachers of Han and Wei, and save the country of Chu from the fire!"

The voices of thousands of people exploded, gathering into a wave of sound and rushing to the sky, which caused a complete sensation in the entire Huaxia Academy.

6Chapter 16 Zhao Dan's Response (Part [-])

The changes in Huaxia Academy were noticed almost immediately by the monitoring guards.

In fact, due to the importance of the Huaxia Academy, this place is not in charge of Handan city guards, but the two major forces of the Central Army and the Supervising Guards are responsible for safeguarding the security.

So soon, Mao Sui sent this urgent report to Zhao Dan's desk.

"Scholar to help the Crown Prince of Chu petition?" Zhao Dan frowned when he saw this urgent report.

interesting.

Very interesting.

Although I don't know how the Chu prince won the support of these scholars, it is very obvious that the Chu prince who has not been summoned by Zhao Dan has learned to use the public opinion of the academy to criticize Zhao Dan. There is pressure.

Zhao Dan closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said to Mao Sui in front of him: "How is the situation now, how many scholars have participated in the petition?"

Mao Sui said: "Back to Your Majesty, the scholars are now very excited. They are sitting quietly at the gate of Huaxia Academy to petition, and they are still shouting slogans. Roughly speaking, there should be more than 2000 people."

"2000 people?" After Zhao Dan heard this sentence, his expression was a little complicated.

You must know that there are only students in the early [-]s in the Huaxia Academy today, which means that almost half of the students in the Huaxia Academy have participated in this petition.

This means one thing, that is, there must be some power in the Huaxia Academy secretly manipulating all this, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of activity to form such a huge momentum in a short period of time.

Zhao Dan pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Who has the prince of Chu met these days?"

For protons like the prince of Chu State, Zhao State will usually send surveillance guards to follow them secretly. On the one hand, it is to ensure that they will not mess around in Zhao State, and on the other hand, it is to ensure that these protons safety.

If these protons died in Handan, it would be a blow to Zhao's diplomatic reputation, and it might even lead to a war, just like the death of the prince of Qin in Daliang City a few years ago.

Mao Sui thought for a while, and said to Zhao Dan: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the supervisory guard's information, the prince of Chu Kingdom should have visited Xun Kuang Dajiu last night, and he was outside the door of Xunkuang Dajijiu After waiting for a long time, I was summoned by Da Xun Kuang to offer wine."

"Xun Kuang?" Zhao Dan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he showed a clear expression: "I see, I understand."

The matter has become very obvious by now, there must be Confucianism secretly fueling the flames in this petition.

What does Confucianism want to do?

Zhao Dan came to a conclusion after only a few seconds of examination: "It seems that the Confucianists are dissatisfied with the fact that I have introduced their mortal enemy, the Mohists, into the Huaxia Academy a while ago, and now they are ready to gamble."

Since the establishment of the Huaxia Academy, most of the Confucian scholars who were originally located in the Qi and Lu Kingdoms have come to the Huaxia Academy under Xun Kuang's running and summoning, and have become Zhao's guest ministers.

But judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Confucianism is not satisfied with only being based in Zhao Guo and Huaxia Academy, but wants to go out and gain the right to govern and speak in more countries.

After trying to understand what happened, Zhao Dan began to relax.

This was actually just a premeditated action, not a spontaneous action formed by the sudden outbreak of students.

You must know that most of the students in the Huaxia Academy are from Zhao State, and Zhao Dan is also planning to gradually arrange these students to various places in Zhao State after they are successful in their studies. Starting from a small official, step by step, he will become a representative of the grassroots officials of Zhao State in the future.

In other words, these students in the Huaxia Academy are likely to become the backbone of Zhao Guo's officialdom in the future.

If these people suddenly feel that one thing must be done at the same time, it will form a very powerful force, and even the king will treat it with caution.

Such a force can only be controlled by the king, and absolutely cannot be controlled by any force other than the king, otherwise it will pose a huge challenge to Zhao's kingship.

"Confucianism, Confucianism, what a Confucianism!" Zhao Dan snorted softly, then stood up from his chair, and said to Mao Sui: "Ru immediately arrange a car, I will go to Huaxia Academy, and these See you, students."

Mao Sui was taken aback, and hurriedly said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, this student's petition is mixed with dragons and snakes. Should Your Majesty consider it carefully?"

Zhao Dan shook his head and said: "You go to Xu Li first, and ask him to dispatch the Habayashi army to clear the field."

Anyway, meeting is a must.Now that the students have already made a request, Zhao Guo officials still have to respond.

In fact, it may not be necessary for Zhao Dan to come forward, but this kind of situation has never happened before in history. Zhao Dan feels that no one but himself can handle this situation well.

Although the current Huaxia Academy is only an academic place, it is precisely because of its academic bias and its lack of interference in politics that the Huaxia Academy has become more detached.

If Zhao Dan refuses to respond, it will actually have a certain negative impact on Zhao Dan himself and the reputation of Zhao Guo.

Most importantly, if Zhao Dan really refused to come forward, wouldn't it be tantamount to pushing these students to those who secretly make trouble?

In this era, every guy who can read and write can be called a talent, not to mention the thousands of scholars in the Huaxia Academy who study every day.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan said to Mao Sui in front of him again: "Mao Sui, I have given you a mission. You should go and investigate immediately, who was the first to join the prince of Chu at the very beginning. Then make a list of the leaders among these guys and send it to the widow. This matter must be done as soon as possible, understand?"

Mao Sui respectfully agreed.

"Okay." Zhao Dan stretched vigorously, and said with a smile: "I thought that after the truce, I would be able to live a leisurely life for a while, but some people really don't want to let the widows relax. Let the widow go and see what these guys want to do."

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Dan's king's ceremonial guard was grandly unfurled, and drove out of the palace city, heading towards the Huaxia Academy located between the palace city and Guocheng of Zhao State.
