Lu Caiwei looked at Su Jie with a shining expression.

Su Jie closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Fifty years? It's been a long time."

Lu Caiwei nodded: "So, Marquis Wu, you will never be able to find it. Even if you find it, I, Tai Yishan, will never be born, between you and me."

Su Jie stopped Lu Caiwei's words, and continued: "The Marquis is puzzled by one thing. Since you are looking for Tian Ding in Taiyi Mountain, why don't the other two clans look for it?"

Lu Caiwei said: "Of course they are looking for it! Especially the temple of the King of Chu, the Temple of the King of Tai. They have been looking for it for decades. When they attacked Mount Taiyi, the purpose of it was to snatch the Heavenly Stems, the Heavenly Kun, and the Heavenly Earthquake. , In this Jiashen Rebellion, in the end, both sides will lose, and no one will benefit."

Su Jie laughed and said: "So, if these two clans happen to come across such a spirit Gu, I'm afraid they will quarrel."

Lu Caiwei said seriously: "Don't talk about these two clans, even I, Taiyi Mountain, will participate. No matter how many people die, it's worth it."

Su Jie frowned and said: "You mean, if you want to fight for such a thing, you will die, so you think it's worth it?"

Lu Caiwei looked at Su Jie, and finally nodded.

Su Jie sighed and said: "Benhou thinks that all things have spirits, and no one is worth dying for. No matter how good the gods are, in Benhou's eyes, they are also things outside the body. In Benhou's heart, thousands of gods are also It can't compare to a person's life, and this Marquis disagrees with you on this point, don't you think you look down on me again?"

Lu Caiwei looked at Su Jie in surprise, her heart was touched.

Finally, he said quietly, "I heard from people in the clan that Tai Yi once said the same thing as you."

Su Jie said unexpectedly: "Oh? That's really my honour, but I didn't deceive you by saying this. If I was Taiyi, I would accept the world's spirit insects. After three generations, there will be no such thing in the world. Even if there is belief in the theory of ghosts and gods, it should help the people of the world, advocate goodness, and not seek personal gain for the purpose of manipulating the psychology of the people."

Lu Caiwei smiled lightly, she was quite glamorous, and said: "Tai Yi said the same thing! However, Tai Yi lost his life because he wanted to do this. Aren't you afraid that you will die because of it too?" ?”

Su Jie was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Benhou is afraid of dying, but I just don't want you to die."

Lu Caiwei blushed and bowed her head in silence.

Su Jie said: "Okay, this Marquis already knows, this Marquis promises you, I will definitely go to help you find Tian Ding, no matter how many years, if you find it, I will send it to you, before you find it, promise this Marquis, in case Don't say half-dead words casually."

Su Jie turned around and was about to leave.

After walking a few steps, Su Jie said, "By the way, I have two things to tell you."

Lu Caiwei asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Jie said: "First, quickly help Ben Hou find Li Si. Second, Ben Hou thinks about it and will kill He Feng for you within [-] days. Who told him to bully you?"

Chapter 216 Li Si, You Must Scold Marquis Wu

Five days later.

Xianyang West City Central Market is surrounded by many people.

Judging from the attire of these people, there are scholars from the six countries, as well as merchants and rangers from all over the world.

No matter who it is, everyone is excited, staring at the list board and reading carefully.

The guards of Marquis Wu's mansion held spears to protect the left and right, with a murderous aura, walking slowly like a forest, making people daunting. Even so, they still couldn't stop scholars from the six countries rushing to see it.

For a time, the news of Wuhou Mansion's recruitment of diners spread throughout the Xianyang market.

Xianyang, who doesn't know the majestic Qin Wuhou.

Now in the whole city, I don't know how many people want to enter the Marquis Mansion but can't.

Scholars from the six countries have entered Qin Dynasty one after another since Duke Xiao, for what reason, isn't it just that they all want to show off what they have learned in their stomachs and be dignified in front of others?

"Prime Minister Lu has already raised [-] disciples, and he was not allowed to enter the Qin Dynasty for two years. Today is finally the opportunity."

"If I can become a disciple of Marquis Wu, it would not be in vain for me to stay in Qin for five years."

In addition to Prime Minister Lu, there is also a powerful Wuhou in the court hall of Daqin, but there is no one in Wuhou's family.

It is conceivable that when Marquis Wu's list of recruiting disciples came out, there was a lot of excitement.

At this time, the market was full of people.

And in the tavern a few hundred steps away from the market, dozens of people gathered together to discuss and discuss with anger.

As soon as Li Si entered the tavern, he saw a young man sitting on the side of the tavern, drinking from a bottle alone.

Li Si hesitated for a while, then walked over, saluted and said: "I met Brother Lu, Brother Lu came here quite early today."

Lu Xun raised his head, saw Li Si, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and said, "Brother Li, sit down quickly, shopkeeper, prepare the wine and meat."

Li Si couldn't hide his embarrassment, and said, "Brother Lao Lu will have to spend again."

Lu Xun said: "Compared with Brother Li's talent and learning, such money and silver are insignificant. It is a real eye-opener for Lu Mou to hear Brother Li's speeches on governing the country in the past two days. In comparison, it should be Lu Mou who took over Brother Li. cheap."

Li Si smiled with difficulty, and said: "Brother Lu praised Li, if I really have the talent and learning that Brother Lu said, I wouldn't fall into the situation I am today."

Lu Xun shook his head slightly, picked up the wine bottle, and said: "In life, things are not as good as you want. Sometimes I wait for merchants to make a lot of money, and sometimes lose everything. Brother Li regards talents and learning as the property of merchants. Isn't the situation consistent with this logic?"

Seeing Li Si lost in thought, Lu Xun pointed to the people around him.

Continued: "Look, the scholars around here are not as talented as Brother Li, but they are happy because of an opportunity. In this case, Brother Li has the talent to help the world, can't he compare with these mediocre people?" Is it a scholar? Or, because of a little hardship, Brother Li has forgotten the original intention of why he came to Qin from Jixia Academy?"

Liston's face brightened a lot.

Yes, have you forgotten your original intention?

Picking up the wine bottle, he touched Lu Xun, and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, Li Si, for telling Li, come on, I respect Brother Lu."

While the two were discussing, suddenly a person came running quickly outside the tavern.

This person looked joyful, holding a piece of silk in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, I have copied the list."

For a while, everyone stopped talking.

Even many people outside the pass stood under the eaves, wanting to hear it.

Although the notice was posted, at this time, the place was already overcrowded and it was impossible to move forward.

"Oh? Read it quickly."

"Brother Yang is really fast."

Li Si and Lu Xun also looked over.

For a moment, the entire tavern cast its eyes on the visitor.

The scholar took a sip of water, picked up the silk, and said in a voice: "Marquis Wu seeks the order to tell the scholars all over the world that the state affairs of Qin will be accomplished, and the great cause is in sight. At the same time, it is a big country to carve out a corner.”

The scholar paused for a while.

Many scholars nodded.

The scholar continued to read: "Qin, the first king of the four generations, fought hard every year, trying to revive, and millions of martyrs died of hatred. Since the reform of Qin and Shangjun, he has been stronger than other countries, but the heart of Shandong and the six kingdoms of Qin is not dead, and they want to divide Qin. , Destroy the Qin Dynasty and then quickly, the national humiliation is full of hatred, there is nothing greater than this, Su Jie pays homage to the prince, often thinks about the national humiliation, and grieves in his heart, today, Su Jie is telling the world."

"However, those with great talents will be rewarded with high salaries, and there will be no reservations about the distribution of profits. I wish to accept talents that can be encountered in the world, and provide them with talents in the world to make good strategies together and encourage each other. In the name of being a leader in the industry, Create the move of the Qin State to carry the tripod, the Wuhou of this Marquis is also your Wuhou, if you meet a good talent, I would like to promote the talent to the King of Qin, in order to inspire the great Qin."

The scholar put away the silk, unable to hide his excitement.

You know, in this era, if you want to be an official, there is no imperial examination, only recommendation. It is very difficult for ordinary disciples to become court officials, but in Su Jie's Order of Seeking Talents, it has been clearly stated that as long as you have talent, you can recommend it to the king. This is undoubtedly very attractive to anyone.

Many people drank a bottle of wine fiercely and said: "Go, go to Marquis Wu!"

There was a clatter.

Lu Xun looked at Li Si and said, "Brother Li, do you have any comments?"

Lu Xun's words also attracted the attention of many people, because Li Si was a student of Lu Buwei, and many scholars knew him.

Although everyone didn't know that Li Si had been kicked out by Lu Buwei, but it didn't prevent him from listening to the views of the prime minister's retainer.

For a moment, everyone looked at Li Si.

Li Si looked at everyone, thought for a while, and said in a flat voice, "Marquis Wu's Order of Seeking Talents can be said to be thirsty for talents."

Lu Xun smiled and said, "How can you see that?"

Li Sidao: "Only duke Xiaogong and Marquis Wu are the only two who speak out about national humiliation. Non-virtuous people dare not speak out. Second, Marquis Wu doesn't seek to be ruled by his disciples, but only seeks to inspire the talents of Qin. Third, open-minded, dare to share the title of Marquis of Wu with his disciples, and promote the virtuous to the king, the heart of a public weapon can shine through the sun and the moon, these three points can be called sincerely seeking talents."

The scholars looked at each other one after another, their eyes became more excited.

All of a sudden, the scholars left the restaurant one after another and headed towards Marquis Wu's Mansion.

Lu Xun said: "Since brother Li is no longer under the prime minister's family, why not go to Wuhou's mansion? Brother Li's talent will definitely be reused by Wuhou. At that time, it is not impossible to enter the court in one fell swoop and become a merchant. ah."

Li Si shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to go, but because there is something else hidden."

Lu Xun secretly smiled, "I understand."

Li Si wondered, "Brother Lu, what did you understand?"

Lu Xun took a sip of wine and said: "In the past, Jiang Taigong went fishing in the Yuan, but he held a pole without a hook in his hand. How did he know that the king admired his virtuous name, bowed his head on his back, and worshiped him as his prime minister? After Zhou's 800 years of foundation, only Jiang Taigong fished in later generations, and the good story of those who wished to take the bait. Brother Li is a talented person. Naturally, he will not follow the example of ordinary scholars. What about the beautiful words of ancient and modern harmony? It is a good strategy to do the opposite, so that it can be caught in the eyes of Marquis Wu in one fell swoop."

Li Si was stunned.

Although he is talented and famous, the current him is far from being able to compare with the Jiang Shang in Lu Xun's mouth.

That's why I knew that it was Lu Xun who was complimenting him.

Immediately, Li Si also said: "To be honest, Brother Lu doesn't know something. The reason why I was expelled from the mansion by Prime Minister Lu was because of Marquis Wu."

Lu Xun was startled and asked, "Is there anything else? Please enlighten me?"

Afterwards, Li Si told Su Jie and Lu Buwei about writing books one by one.

The two most powerful people in Daqin are tantamount to shutting him out, and the lofty ambitions of the year seem to have cut off the road in Qin.

Lu Xun and Li Si drank two cups, and then said with a smile: "So, I heard that Brother Li was a petty official in Chu State for a while before coming to Qin State?"

Li Si looked up, and although he didn't know why Lu Xun asked such a question, he nodded.

Lu Xun said: "I heard that when Brother Li was an official in the state of Chu, when he went to the latrine to pay his respects, he saw the rats in the latrine scrambling for food. Later, Brother Li expelled them. When we arrived at the vicious dog, we were frightened and hid in the granary, and when Brother Li returned to the granary, he saw these rats eating food leisurely in the granary and sleeping safely in the big house!"

Li Si was surprised: "How did brother Lu know about such things?"

Lu Xun said: "When I was doing business in various places, I had a lot of contacts with scholars. When I was in Chu State, I heard it. Brother Li once said that people are wise and sophisticated, just like these mice, but they are in different places. place."

"Brother Li is now full of great ambitions, but he lives in Anran. In my opinion, he is like the rat in the latrine. He keeps his own way and doesn't know where the granary is!"

Li Si's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Xun in amazement. He never expected that this young merchant would have such insights.

Immediately said: "I have been taught."

Lu Xun said: "Looking at it from the bottom, brother Li has great ambitions to help the world, but he is so self-sufficient. Did you come to Xianyang just to find a shabby house to hide in and a few stones to fill your stomach? So if you refuse to go to Marquis Wu’s mansion, it’s just because you think Marquis Wu is criticizing you for your talents, but why do you think Marquis Wu is truly seeking talents?”

"This?"

Lu Xun's words rekindled the fire in his heart.

The reason why he didn't go was because he heard that Marquis Wu scolded him in public.

Seeing Li Si's expression fluctuating, Lu Xun said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Li still hasn't forgotten his original intention. Why don't you make a decision for Brother Li before you leave. As for how to proceed, Brother Li can decide for himself."

Li Tun immediately said: "I would like to hear the details."

Lu Xun said: "This number falls short of Brother Li's talent and learning. Brother Li must be very dissatisfied. Since in Brother Li's heart, the way forward has been cut off, it is better to seek wealth and wealth."

Li Si asked in surprise, "How can we seek wealth and wealth?"

Lu Xun continued: "Brother Li only needs to send a letter to Marquis Wu's mansion in person. In the letter, he scolds this person as seeking a virtuous person. He really doesn't know a virtuous person. This person must be angry and decide to meet in person. However, at this time It is the time when Marquis Wu is recruiting talented people, so he must not dare to punish you. I am afraid that he will argue with you face to face. With your talent and learning, are you still afraid of debate? I am afraid that Marquis Wu will be convinced by you on the spot, and he will stand up for the day Bow down and apologize."

Li Si became excited and said, "This method is extremely good!"

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Brother Li, remember, you must scold this person severely."

Li Si asked, "Why?"

Lu Xun said: "If you don't scold, but just refute, wouldn't it appear that you are narrow-minded, just for the sake of righteousness, but if you are angry and scold this person, it will make Marquis Wu think that he has really failed If you show your heart to serve the country with full power, you must be ashamed and indignant, and I will respect you as a guest of honor."

Li Si recollected for a moment, then got up immediately, and said: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for speaking frankly today. If Li Si can enter the Marquis of Wu's residence, he will never forget the kindness Brother Lu gave you today. I always thought that I have some talents, but I never thought that, I have become what I call a rat in the toilet, Brother Lu, please accept my respect."

Li Siji bowed his head.

Lu Xun nodded and said: "Brother Li is serious. Even if I don't say these principles, Brother Li will understand the truth. The key point of this matter is that the more you scold, the more convincing you will be."

Li Si nodded and said, "I will definitely scold this person painfully."

Lu Xun said with satisfaction: "Very good!"
