The Supreme Powerhouse of Martial Arts

Sima Kong sat on the guest seat and looked Han Chen up and down.

He saw that Han Chen was young, only eighteen or nineteen years old, even more immature than the rumors, and he expected that his knowledge might not be so profound, but the Confucian Xunzi and others respected him, and the Lord Xiangguo also ordered him to come, presumably this person is destined There is something extraordinary about it.

So he stood up, walked in front of Han Chen, and said, "Simakong, I met Mr. Han."

On the other side, Mr. Changping had already stood up, cupped his fists respectfully, and said to Han Chen, "Mr. Changping, I have met Mr. Han."

Simakong squinted his eyes and glanced at Mr. Changping, his eyes were full of hostility.

Mr. Changping looked indifferent and turned a blind eye to him.

"You two don't need to be too polite, please take a seat."

Chapter 6: First there is the king, then there is filial piety (2/3)

Soon, everyone was divided into guests and hosts. Han Chen sat in the first place, and Xun Kuang was next to him.Fu Nian and Yan Lu stood behind with their hands down.

Lord Chang Ping and Sima Kong returned to the guest seats below, facing each other.

Han Chen looked at the guests below, and said indifferently: "Confucianism has always been hospitable and likes to make friends with sages all over the world. The two of you have come from a long way and are exhausted by boat and car. Why don't you stay here for a few days."

Mr. Changping smiled and said, "Sir, you are too polite."

Sima Kong said to Han Chen: "Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need to stay here for a while, it's still important to get down to business."

"I came down to your place under the order of Lord Xiangguo. Please move to Xianyang to serve as guest secretary of Xiangguo and serve Lord Xiangguo. I don't know what you want?"

Let me be a guest of the prime minister's house?

Han Chen shook his head and smiled, but did not reply directly, his eyes moved slightly, and fell on Mr. Changping.

Lord Changping stood up with a respectful expression, looked at Han Chen and said, "I, the King of Qin, has heard that Mr. Gao is talented, and I have been fascinated for a long time. When I learned that Mr. is out of customs, I sent a special official to come here. Please stay in Xianyang Palace and teach the prince. , preaching and receiving employment, the official worships the crown prince and Taifu, and ranks among the three princes and nine ministers."

Prince Taifu.

Ranked among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.

Han Chen nodded. The official status of the Taifu is extremely high, and it is by no means comparable to that of a guest minister. Although he doesn't care about it, it is enough to see that Ying Zheng values ​​him far more than Lu Buwei.

Lord Changping continued: "Your Majesty recruits talents widely, and he is courteous to corporals. In addition to Mr. Han, Mr. Xun Kuang, Mr. Fu Nian, and Mr. Yan Lu from the village, your Majesty also sincerely invites you."

Hearing this, the eyes of Xun Kuang and the others flickered slightly, even they invited them, this Ying Zheng is really thirsty for talent!

Han Chen smiled and said nothing. He and Xun Kuang are the only two sages in the village. Although Fu Nian and Xun Kuang are good at cultivation, they are not good enough in terms of knowledge. Ying Zheng invited them all sincerely. Why should there be as many as four.

It can be seen that teaching the prince is just a cover.

Wanting to win over himself and Confucianism is the real purpose.

Hearing Lord Changping's words, Simakong was not to be outdone, and said directly: "My lord, Xiangguo, has three thousand diners and tens of thousands of family children. In today's world, who can compare with him? Please forgive me, this prince Grand Tutor, although the official position is high, but according to my subordinates, he is far inferior to the prime minister!"

"It's ridiculous!"

Lord Changping frowned, and said: "Although Xiangguo is powerful, he is still a minister, and a minister is a minister. Could it be that he dares to fight for glory?"

The words are very sharp.

Sima Kong smiled and shook his head: "No, no, what Lord Changping said is completely wrong."

Lord Changping frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You don't even know what's wrong, Mr. Changping, you are really disappointing!"

They were at war with each other, and the atmosphere was already tense.

Simakong stared at Lord Changping coldly, and continued, "I don't know that Mr. Xiangguo is the second father of the king. This is not a dispute between a subject and the king, but a dispute between the son and the father. Lord Changping, now, do you know your mistake?"

The implication is that it is unfilial for the son to fight with the father, and it is Yingzheng's fault.

"you……"

Mr. Changping was speechless and unable to refute.

Yingzheng ascended the throne at a young age, and Lu Buwei assisted him, so he was called Zhongfu, which is well known in the world.

At this time, Simakong smiled, looked at Han Chen and said leisurely: "Confucianism emphasizes filial piety, as the so-called [filial piety, fraternity, loyalty, faith], filial piety is the first of a hundred things, how should Mr. Han choose, I don't need to say more That's all."

According to his meaning, Lu Buwei is the father and Yingzheng is the son. Confucianism advocates filial piety, so it is natural to choose Lu Buwei.

If Han Chen does not do this, then he is unfilial and violates the principles of Confucius and Mencius.

Xun Kuang, with white beard and white hair, frowned and shook his head.

This Sima Kong is eloquent and eloquent, it is obviously fallacious and heresy, but it is well-founded and irrefutable, no wonder Lu Buwei sent him here.

Han Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Sima, this statement is wrong!"

Ok?

Sima Kong was slightly startled, with a displeased expression on his face, staring at Han Chen and saying, "I would like to hear from you, Mister."

All of a sudden, everyone present looked at Han Chen, waiting for his explanation.

Han Chen looked at Sima Kong, and said loudly: "My Confucian sages have a saying, the so-called [heaven, earth, monarch, relative, teacher], among which [jun] ranks before [kin], it can be seen that there is a king first, and then there is filial piety! "

"well said!"

Fu Nian applauded.

The gray-haired Xun Kuang, smiling and stroking his beard, agreed with Han Chen's words from the bottom of his heart.

"This……"

Hearing Han Chen's words, Sima Kong was suddenly speechless.

As a sage of Confucianism, Han Chen often reads Confucian classics in his spare time of cultivation. Sima Kong showing off in front of him is tantamount to playing tricks and humiliating himself.

"Mr. Han is talented!"

··································································

With a smile on his face, Mr. Changping clasped his fists respectfully to Han Chen.

Han Chen's words helped him vent his anger and restore King Qin's dignity. He greatly increased his affection for Han Chen, and he was very grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Simakong looked displeased, knowing that Han Chen was good at rhetoric, and if he continued speaking, he might not be able to gain the upper hand, so he simply cut straight to the point.

"Mr. Han, I just want to ask you a question. Mr. Xiangguo invites you to be your guest in the house. Can you agree?" Sima Kong asked Han Chen directly.

The Prime Minister's power is all over the world, he doesn't believe that Han Chen doesn't know.

In an instant, the three of Xun Kuang, Lord Changping, and the Confucian disciples present all looked at Han Chen, waiting for his answer. Han Chen's choice was their choice.

How to decide on this matter, Han Chen already had a balance in his mind.

If he agrees, Han Chen will become one of the three thousand guest ministers in the prime minister's mansion, the icing on the cake and nothing important.

...

If he refuses, it means that he has chosen Lord Changping's invitation, and Han Chen will go directly to see Ying Zheng.

However, the current Yingzheng is still very weak and cannot compete with Lu Buwei, but because of his weakness, it is very precious to send charcoal in a timely manner.

In addition, Confucianism wants to gain a foothold in troubled times and avoid the tragedy of burning books and burying Confucianism. Yingzheng is the best breakthrough.

Han Chen looked at Sima Kong and said calmly, "I'm afraid, you're going to be disappointed."

Han Chen was really not interested in this arrogant Sima Kong.

Hearing this, Sima Kong's face turned blue and he became angry, he secretly scolded this Han Chen, he really didn't know what to do.

"Mr. Han, thank you, Chengquan!"

Mr. Chang Ping clasped his fists, Han Chen refused Sima Kong, then he chose himself.

In this way, I can make a smooth assignment, and this trip to Sanghai finally fulfilled my mission and lived up to your majesty's respect.

"Han Chen, you will regret it!"

Simakong stared at Han Chen, very annoyed, gritted his teeth, turned around immediately, and shouted to several followers: "Let's go!"

Han Chen has already chosen Yingzheng, if Simakong stays, he will only humiliate himself, it is better to leave.

Looking at the back of Sima Kong leaving angrily, Lord Changping said to Han Chen, "Sima Kong is narrow-minded. When he returns to Xianyang this time, he will definitely speak out against Lu Buwei in front of Lu Buwei. Be careful, sir."

"It's okay!"

Han Chen smiled lightly.

Chapter 7: No one in the world can reject me twice (3/3)

Simakong was devastated in Xiaoshengxianzhuang, left with a grudge, and returned to Xianyang angrily.

As soon as he returned to Xianyang, he came to Xiangguo Mansion and met Lu Buwei directly.

Standing at the bottom of the hall, looking at Lu Buwei who was seated above, Sima Kong said: "Master Xiangguo, Han Chen is proud of his talent, and the student invited him with generous gifts, but he refused face to face. He didn't give the Xiangfu any face. Please, Lord Xiangguo, make a decision!"

After hearing Sima Kong's words, many disciples in the hall immediately started discussing.

No one has ever dared to refuse Master Xiangguo's invitation. In their view, Han Chen really doesn't know what to do.

Hearing Sima Kong's words, Lu Buwei frowned slightly, with a gloomy look on his face.

Simakong continued: "Master Xiangguo, it's fine for Han Chen to reject us, but "[-]", he actually agreed to Mr. Changping to go to the palace to teach the prince, which is obviously against Lord Xiangguo."

"Asshole?"

"It really makes no sense!"

"This Han Chen is too presumptuous!"

The doormen in the hall all showed angry faces at this moment. No one in the entire Qin Kingdom knew that the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Royal Palace were opposed to each other. Since Han Chen chose the Royal Palace, he became the enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

boom!

Lu Buwei slapped the chair hard, got furious, and stood up directly: "He is so courageous!"

It's fine if you don't work for yourself, but you dare to help Ying Zheng, it's simply abhorrent.

Seeing that Lu Buwei was angry, Simakong clasped his fists and said, "Han Chen is so ignorant that he sincerely wants to be an enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he does not punish him severely, the majesty of the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely be damaged."

"The prime minister's mansion is majestic and cannot be violated!"

Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes, his old face was shrouded in a haze, and his pupils shone coldly.
