Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 27

Wei Liao frowned slightly, a little disappointed, cupped his fists in salute, and said: "Sir has the ability to foretell the future, Wei Liao is about to ask for advice, please give me your advice."

"Where do I have the ability to predict? It's just what history told me. Your advancement is Li Si, and the timing is that Han Fei's death made King Qin lose his talents. Li Si just met King Qin now, and Han Fei still You are pampered and pampered in South Korea, and you are a son.” Zhou Chong was humble in his heart, knowing that the reason for his disappointment was that he could not make great achievements immediately, and comforted him: “Fortune is fleeting and unpredictable, and Zhou Chong has no supernatural powers , not to mention the ability to foretell. However, Zhou Chong knows a truth that people are divided into two types: one is people who cannot be said, and the other is people who can be said. It is not that people who cannot be said cannot be said at all, but they can be said It’s not that people can tell everything, it’s just about grasping the timing.”

Wei Liao clapped his hands in admiration, and said, "Mister's wonderful theory is the most reasonable!"

Wang Ao nodded in admiration and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are indeed the most reasonable and famous words. The kings of Jie and Zhou have been notorious for thousands of years. In fact, these two kings are very clever, but their talents are not used in the right way. They are used for fun. , It's really touching. The two of them must talk about it, and it's impossible to say it!"

"I'm so conceited, I want to talk about the king of Jie and Zhou, and only people like you can have such a heart and confidence!" Zhou Chong thought in his heart, and said: "If you don't talk about it, just talk about the affairs of the current dynasty. So strong, because of Shang Yang's reform. Everyone knows this, but the world knows how difficult it was for Shang Yang to lobby Xiaogong? He was almost abandoned by Xiaogong."

Wei Liao nodded, and Wang Ao followed Zhou Chong's words: "Shang Yang used the three techniques of emperors and uncles to meet Xiaogong. First, he talked about the emperor's way, and Xiaogong fell asleep. , Shang Yang said that Xiao Gong used the kingly way, Xiao Gong was sleepy again, and once again accused Jing Jian of recommending pedantic people. Before the third lobbying, even Jing Jian dared not recommend again. If Shang Yang had not persuaded Jing Jian, It is difficult to have a third chance. For the third time, Shang Yang said that Xiaogong used Boshu, and the monarch and his ministers talked to each other for three days, and Xiaogong was not tired. The great Qin was strong, and it began from then on.”

Shang Yang met Duke Xiao because of his favored minister, Jing Jian. Later generations, especially Confucians, ridiculed Shang Yang for his improper background. the way of the people.In fact, this question can be looked at in reverse. Even a lowly person like Jing Jian in the state of Qin can recommend talented people. Can the state of Qin be full of talents?Can it be strong?There are so many famous talents listed in Li Si's "Book of Remonstrance and Chasing Guest", which one is from Qin State?It's not that the talents from the country of Shandong were lost to Qin.Being able to attract so many talents, it would be unreasonable for Qin to be weak!With the loss of so many talents, it is unreasonable for the kingdom of Shandong to survive!
"You really have a lot of knowledge and strong memory, and you told about Shang Yang's lobbying for Qin Xiaogong when you came here." Zhou Chong thought in his heart, nodded and concluded: "Everything is difficult to say: if I know it, I can say it." The difficulty of it is not the difficulty of my being able to explain what I mean by debating it, nor the difficulty of being able to do it without daring to lose. Whatever is difficult to say: in the heart of knowing what to say, I can say it as it should be.”

Both master and apprentice applauded together, saying: "Everything is difficult to say: if you know the heart of what you say, I can say it as it should be. Wonderful words!" The admiration of the two can be seen in the color, and Zhou Chong is introduced as a confidant.

Zhou Chong didn't dare to plunder the beauty of others, and said: "This statement is not Zhou Chong's, but a famous line in Han Fei's "Speaking of Difficulties". Zhou Chong just picked it up."

Wei Liao nodded and said: "Han is not a man. Liaozi has heard of it. He first learned from Xunzi. After he finished his studies, he returned to Korea to advise the King of Han. Unfortunately, his ideas were too high-level and the King of Han didn't listen to him. Han Fei was so angry that he shut the door and wrote a book to talk about it. Looking at his book, it is really a high-level theory, which is hard to match in the world. If you can see it, it will be a joy in your life."

"Han Fei and you are contemporaries. It may be difficult for you to meet him. You met King Qin because of Han Fei's death. He traded his life for your career. Unless history is rewritten." Zhou Chong thought in his heart. Wei Liao felt sorry.

Wang Ao sighed with emotion: "Talent is not met, good fortune tricks people!"

"Unrecognized talents, how many heroes are weeping! In order to find a gentleman who knows you, you go west to Qin, regardless of your status as a master, and ask for it to be used by the king of Qin." Zhou Chong said with emotion in his heart, "To lobby the master, you must have the ability to lobby. machine!"

Wei Liao clasped his fists together and said, "Thank you sir for waking up, Liaozi understands. Mr. Zhou, let's just say goodbye and we'll meet again some other day."

Zhou Chong returned the salute and asked, "What do you want, sir?"

Wei Liao contemplated for a while, and said: "This is not the time to ask to see the King of Qin, Liaozi wants to take a tour first, and wait for another time."

"Mr. is an expert. I love mountains and rivers. I put my love in them. Zhou Chong shouldn't talk too much." Zhou Chong changed the subject and said: "However, sir, wandering among mountains and rivers is not to ignore world affairs, but to pass the time. , Waiting for the opportunity. The famous mountain is right in front of you, why should you give up the near and seek the far away?"

Wang Ao asked, "Sir, do you mean to visit Mount Hua?"

Wei Liao reminded Wang Ao, "Sir, you want us to live in Mount Hua."

"Wang Ao doesn't understand what you mean, so please don't laugh at me." Wang Ao suddenly realized.

Zhou Chong returned the salute and said: "Mr. Wang is serious. Huashan has beautiful scenery and is a place for self-cultivation. Besides, this place is in Qin State. If Qin State has something to do, wouldn't it be convenient?"

"It makes sense, it makes sense." Wei Liao nodded and said, "It's a wise way to live on Mount Hua and observe the changes in the world."

Zhou Chong reminded Wei Liao, and said: "Zhou Chong dare to ask sir, is the main soldier or the main text of the master's study?"

Although Wei Liao didn't understand why Zhou Chong asked this question, he still replied: "Liaozi has been training with his predecessor for decades. Okay, it's only a matter of time before Qin merges with the world."

"I know you are the main soldier, isn't this a subtext." Zhou Chong then asked: "Has what you have learned, sir, been written?"

Wei Liao shook his head, said: "What Liaozi has learned is in his chest."

Zhou Chong's heart skipped a beat, he had an idea, and immediately seduced him: "Why don't you get involved, sir?"

"Water has an impermanent shape, and soldiers have an impermanent momentum. The strategy and maneuvers of the army are only used wisely, and there is no need to make a scroll." Wei Liaozi is worthy of being a military strategist, and he uttered words similar to those of the later generation Yue Fei.Yue Fei believes that the use of troops is "to fight after the formation, and the skill of using it is all in one mind", and the two are so similar.

Zhou Chong didn't agree with his opinion, saying: "Mr. All the soldiers said that the strategy of soldiers is suitable, but Zhou Chong thinks it is not possible."

"Oh, sir, do you think how to use troops is the magic method?" Wei Liaozi was very interested, and was very much looking forward to Zhou Chong's opinion.
