Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 17
Wu Yingyuan could not fully agree with Xiang Shaolong's words.He felt that Lu Buwei and the Prince Zheng should be an interest group, and there was no difference between helping Lu Buwei and the Prince Zheng.But because they trusted Xiang Shaolong, they decided to follow what Xiang Shaolong said first, and then observe the progress of the situation.

King Qin wanted to designate Xiang Shaolong as the crown prince, but unexpectedly met with collective opposition from the local forces. Headed by Yangquan Lord who supported the second prince Cheng Jiao, the military sided with Yangquan Lord.

The state of Qin established the state with martial arts, and the most important thing was military exploits. At this time, Xiang Shaolong was not well-known. Although he had the feat of smashing the Jin Dynasty, he was not known by the people of Qin.And when rescuing Zhu Ji's mother and child, no one knew about Xiang Shaolong's role. In others' eyes, it was Lu Buwei's credit, and the Wu family was just Lu Buwei's vassal.

Even Lu Buwei didn't support Xiang Shaolong as the prince and tutor, and he only met Wu Yingyuan when the Wu family rescued Zhu Ji's mother and son.He wasn't interested in knowing how people were rescued, and he didn't have the time to know other people in the Wu family.He has regarded the Wu family as his sphere of influence.Now someone in the Wu family unexpectedly bypassed his own recommendation and was directly appreciated by the king, which was beyond his control.

Lu Buwei hurriedly summoned Wu Yingyuan and Xiang Shaolong.

Xiang Shaolong finally met this speculative genius in the prime minister's residence. About 40 years old, tall and tall, with big ears on one side, a pair of long and narrow eyes shining brightly, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a majestic momentum.

Wu Yingyuan pulled Xiang Shaolong to meet him in a hurry, before he bowed down, he was helped up by Lu Buwei, looked at Xiang Shaolong and said: "Sure enough, he is a good-looking talent, no wonder the king values ​​it. The king wants to make Shaolong the prince and tutor. It's a pity that it was opposed by the local forces, I don't know how the king knew Shaolong?"

Xiang Shaolong recounted the process of getting acquainted with the prince, and finally said: "Although the rescue is in charge of the father-in-law, I will handle it in detail. The queen and the prince are grateful for my contribution, so they intend to let me be the prince's tutor. .”

Lu Buwei said: "Now the military is on the opposing side, even the king can't ignore it. They launched a competition between Wang Jian, the tiger general in the army, and Shaolong, and then decide on the position of Taifu."

Although Lu Buwei didn't like Xiang Shaolong being reused by surpassing himself, he was a member of the Wu family after all, and it was better than his opponent being the prince and Taifu.So he said to Xiang Shaolong: "Wang Jian is skilled in bow and horse, brave and good at fighting, Shaolong should be more prepared, the king may summon you at any time to announce this matter. After Wang Jian is defeated, the truth will recommend Shaolong to serve in the army Don't worry, with the truth, Shaolong will be able to make great achievements."

Xiang Shaolong didn't want to get close to Lu Buwei at first, so he didn't say much, so he nodded.

Within a few days, King Qin summoned Xiang Shaolong.

Qin Wang was very sorry that he broke his promise and failed to make Xiang Shaolong the crown prince.

Xiang Shaolong comforted: "Your Majesty, I am originally a reckless man, and I am not qualified for the position of Grand Tutor. However, the Crown Prince values ​​love and righteousness, and now he is embarrassing Your Majesty. It is Shaolong's crime. I have heard about Wang Jian for a long time. , is really a rare general, far superior to me, and will definitely be qualified for the position of Taifu. I have no military achievements, and my reputation is not obvious, so it is normal to be opposed."

Qin Wangdao: "Shaolong has a broad mind, he does not covet fame and fortune, and he can consider the difficulties of the widow, which makes the widow very gratified."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty is newly ascended to the throne. Although he has Lu Xiangye as his assistant, it is far from enough. The support from the military is equally important. The army is the foundation of our Great Qin. The soldiers are relatively straightforward, but they have always supported the Majesty, Your Majesty. You can’t chill the hearts of the military.”

King Qin did not expect that Xiang Shaolong would make him pay more attention to the military, even more than Lu Buwei.He also thought that Xiang Shaolong was a member of the Wu family and should speak from Lu Buwei's standpoint, but what Xiang Shaolong said this time was to prevent him from completely relying on Lu Buwei, this was really for himself.

King Qin also knew that he should not rely too much on Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei was ambitious, and it was inevitable that he would become too big in the future.But when I came here, I was grateful for Lu Buwei's kindness, and at the same time, there were few available people around me, so I had to reuse Lu Buwei.

Now it seems that this little dragon is loyal and available, and he is from Qin. As long as he shows extraordinary abilities and is reused, the military will relatively less reject him.Besides, listening to what Xiang Shaolong said, he didn't want to rely on Lu Buwei, he was friendly to the military, and it was not impossible to use him to win over the military.

King Qin comforted him: "Shaolong is ready to prepare for the competition with Wang Jian, and I also want to fully understand Shaolong's ability. Don't worry, Shaolong, even if you lose, I will still use Shaolong again."

Xiang Shaolong also wanted to see Wang Jian.As a famous general in the Warring States Period and the most important general in Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, Xiang Shaolong was also full of curiosity about Wang Jian.

When he was in Zhao State, he devoted himself to saving people, kept a low profile, and had no chance to meet Lian Po and Li Mu.Now that Bai Qi is dead, Wang Jian is a rising star and will be an important minister of Qin Shihuang in the future. It is of great benefit to make friends at this time.

Xiang Shaolong said: "Wang Jian is valued by the military, we can use this person to win over the military, no matter what the result is, we can make him a tutor."

King Qin could hear that Xiang Shaolong actually had a chance to win.He also heard about Wang Jian's bravery, it seemed that he had always underestimated Xiang Shaolong, and became eager for this competition.

King Qin said: "Then three days later, there will be a competition in the school field."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

When Prince Zheng heard that his father had summoned Xiang Shaolong, he hurried over and said to Xiang Shaolong: "Master, I heard that you have to pass a martial arts competition to become a grand master. These people are really disgusting."

Xiang Shaolong said: "These people are the basis for you to gain a foothold in the position of prince. You can only be friends with each other, not enemies. Thinking about it from another angle, I am just a nobody now. They don't know me, and they propose a martial arts competition because they value you. It may not be a good thing if you don't pay attention to your affairs."

Prince Zheng said: "I know that Lord Yangquan supports Chengjiao, and he just wants to block me."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Mr. Yangquan is nothing to worry about. He is not Lu Buwei's opponent at all, but the military's support for you is very important. They are loyal to the royal family, so you must win them over. Wang Jian who is competing with me is rare. Talent, you can't be hostile to him just because he competes with me for the position of Taifu. He is loyal to the royal family. His son Wang Ben is about the same age as you and can be friends with him. Meng Ao's grandson Meng Tian is also about the same age as you .These people are the important people who you will ascend to the throne, sweep the six kingdoms, and dominate the world in the future. If you make friends with them now, there are only advantages and no disadvantages."

Prince Zheng heard Xiang Shaolong say that he wanted to rule the world, his eyes lit up, and he said: "With the help of Master, I will definitely be able to sweep the six kingdoms."

Xiang Shaolong said: "Of course I will help you, but there are not too many talents. I am covered in iron and can drive a few nails. A good guy has three gangs. They pushed Wang Jian out in this martial arts competition, but it is for you to subdue him If there is a chance, I have already suggested to the king to make him a tutor."

Prince Zheng said anxiously: "Of course I will win him over, but the position of Grand Tutor must be Master, and I will continue to practice martial arts with Master."

Xiang Shaolong said: "I don't want to give up, but I want to say that even if I win, I will make Wang Jian a tutor. Ever since I knew that you are a prince and will be a king in the future, I feel that I have nothing to teach you. Yes. What you have to learn is how to be a great king, not how to be a knight-errant. People like me and Wang Jian serve as tutors for you, more so that you have more opportunities to display your talents, not to teach you anything .Martial arts and the art of war are not so important to you anymore. What you have to learn is not how to win a war, but to learn to decide whether to fight a war, when to stop a war, and how to win War is the business of the generals. You have to care about the national economy and the people's livelihood, whether the people are rich, and whether the officials are corrupt. War is never an end, but a means, and a continuation of politics. The pain of the fish. I hope that the prince will not forget that the common people are also living people, and they also have joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys. They cannot be sacrificed at will."

"well said!"

A sweet voice came from behind the two of them.The two turned their heads and saw a stunning woman walking out. In his 20s, in a plain white dress, with a long and slender figure, slender legs, a small waist that can't be grasped, a towering breast, a good posture, a high nose bridge, a pair of beautiful eyebrows, and black eyes Shiny, small cherry mouth, with a smile on the corner of the mouth, an authentic "goddess style".

Shu'er is charming, Ting Fang is delicate and naive, and this woman is an intellectual beauty.Even Xiang Shaolong, who was used to beauties, couldn't help being tempted.

Prince Zheng saluted, and said: "Teacher Qin!" Then he introduced to Xiang Shaolong: "This is another teacher of mine, Taifu Qin."

Xiang Shaolong suddenly realized that this was "Widow Qing", and hurriedly greeted him: "I have met Mrs. Qin!"

Qin Qing was going to give the prince a lesson, knowing that he was looking for Xiang Shaolong, so she went all the way to find him, and hearing Xiang Shaolong's words, couldn't help but praise him.She also knew that Xiang Shaolong was about to compete in martial arts, she thought she was a rude martial artist, but she didn't expect to have such insights.

Qin Qing also gave a salute, and said: "Mr. Xiang is polite!" Turning to the crown prince, he said, "Mencius said: those who enjoy the joy of the people, the people also enjoy the joy; those who worry about the worries of the people, the people also worry about their worries. With the world in mind, worry about the world, but without a king, there is no one."

Xiang Shaolong didn't understand what Qin Qing meant, but he knew that she was extremely talented, so he flattered him: "The prince is really lucky to be taught by Master Qin. The prince is young and grew up in a poor family. I hope that Qin Taifu will take care of you." He said to the prince, "Qin Taifu is well-educated and full of knowledge, the prince must study hard, and he will be able to make a difference in the future."

Qin Qing had heard a lot of flattery, so she didn't care, and asked: "I heard that Mr. Xiang will compete for the position of Grand Tutor through a martial arts competition, is the time set?"

Xiang Shaolong replied, "Three days later."

Qin Qing said: "At that time, Qin Qing will also go to the school grounds to watch."

Xiang Shaolong said: "That's my honor." He said a few words to tell the prince to study hard and make progress every day before leaving.
