The dancers in the center of the hall also began to dance slowly.

Zhang Julu wisely sat down in the position to take action, and then whispered to Pei Nanwei beside him: "Princess, what do you think?"

Pei Nanwei didn't say anything, just nodded coldly, then stood up and wanted to walk towards Ying Chen.

At this time, Pei Nanwei met Ying Chen for the first time.

At this point he couldn't help but look at Ying Chen carefully.

He is handsome, with a dark black body, which makes his figure look particularly heroic.

In the light of the candle, Ying Chen's profile flickered, and for a moment Pei Nanwei was stunned.

Although he had prejudice against Ying Chen in his heart, Pei Nanwei had to admit that Ying Chen was truly admirable.

For the first time, she realized that beauty was not exclusive to women.

The wind is clear, the moon is white, and the thoughts are innocent. The handsome figure of a banished immortal is no more than this.

At this time, Ying Chen was also looking at Pei Nanwei who was walking towards him.

My first reaction was, she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Pei Nanwei has a graceful figure, with long hair falling to her waist like a waterfall. Her three thousand strands of black hair dance gently with her steps.

Exquisite facial features, perfect proportions, and full of mystery, especially the pair of bright pupils that seem to be able to charm people.

She wore a yellow long skirt with the hem gently swaying, which was perfectly matched with a pair of golden hollow high heels, making her graceful figure even more charming.

The long skirt was embroidered with exquisite phoenix and lotus patterns, making her figure even more noble.

As she walked, her steps were light, as if she was walking on clouds. Every step was graceful, exuding an attraction that could not be ignored.

And those plump, rosy lips make people want to approach her and taste her.

"Princess Jing'an Pei Nanwei greets Master Ying Chen."

Just as Ying Chen was sighing, Pei Nanwei had already walked in front of Ying Chen and bowed slightly to Ying Chen.

Her speech and behavior were graceful and elegant, like petals in the wind, and her voice was soft and clear, like the sound of nature.

Unrivaled in beauty, best in the world.

It seemed that wherever she went, she could attract everyone's attention and everyone was attracted by her.

Ying Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart and was shocked by Pei Nanwei's beauty.

Even with Ying Chen's state of mind, he had seen countless beauties, even including Nangong Pushe, the most beautiful woman in the world from Liyang.

He originally thought that even if he saw Pei Nanwei, he wouldn't be that excited.

 440 But now, Ying Chen felt that he was wrong, extremely wrong.

As long as I think about tonight, this beauty will be mine.

You will be able to get whatever you want and bloom for yourself.

She would even hug me tightly, open her cherry lips and sing softly.

Ying Chen couldn't help but feel dry in the mouth, so he grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Please sit down, Miss Pei Nanwei."

After Ying Chen finished speaking, he motioned for Pei Nanwei to sit down.

Then Ying Chen forced himself to control his anxiety and not look at Pei Nanwei again. He had more important things to do.

But after sitting down, Pei Nanwei was a little surprised.

She didn't believe that Ying Chen couldn't see that she was the gift given to him by Li Yang.

Otherwise, how could a woman suddenly appear on such an important occasion?

But what Pei Nanwei didn't expect was that Ying Chen didn't talk to him, but just asked him to sit aside.

This surprised Pei Nanwei a little, and he even wondered if his charm had weakened.

Although she felt humiliated about being given away by Li Yang.

But she couldn't help but look forward to her future life.

She felt that perhaps if she left Zhao Heng, she could live a different life from before.

After all, Pei Nanwei is a woman, a woman who has no emotional experience.

In her heart, she naturally longs to have a happy family, to take care of her husband and children.

Instead of being like it is now, with Zhao Heng in name only.

Especially Ying Chen's appearance made Pei Nanwei fascinated by him.

Now he felt not only aggrieved, but more of expectant.

While Pei Nanwei was thinking, Ying Chen stretched out his left hand, gently grabbed Pei Nanwei's right hand, and kneaded her five soft and boneless slender white fingers.

Pei Nanwei was startled for a moment, and sat up straight, making the already astonishing scenery even more amazing.

Ying Chen was playing with Pei Nanwei's fingers while looking at Zhang Julu.

"No, Master Zhang, have you ever heard a classic quote from Confucianism?"

Zhang Julu was a little surprised when he heard Ying Chen's question.

He didn't expect that Ying Chen's first sentence was not to greet him, nor to ask about his purpose.

Instead, ask yourself the Confucian allusions.

Zhang Julu had no idea what Ying Chen was trying to keep secret.

But the situation was stronger than the person, so he could only cooperate and bowed his hands and said: "I don't know which Confucian classic you want to talk about, Master Yingchen. I would like to hear the details."

Ying Chen's voice was sonorous and powerful. He looked directly into Zhang Julu's eyes and then spoke loudly.

"Mencius told King Xuan of Qi:"

"If the ruler regards his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their own heart and soul."

"If the ruler treats his subjects like dogs and horses, then the subjects will treat the ruler like a fellow countryman."

"If the ruler treats his subjects like dirt, then the subjects will treat the ruler like an enemy."

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of what Mencius, the second sage, said? Is it wrong?"

After hearing this, Zhang Julu was even more confused.

It's not that he didn't know this sentence. After all, as a Confucian student, how could Zhang Julu not know what Mencius said.

What he didn't know was what kind of medicine Ying Chen was selling, and he actually asked himself such a question that had nothing to do with his purpose today.

Chapter 127: Discussing Zhang Julu and Pei Nanwei's admiration

Although at the beginning, Zhang Julu didn’t understand what Ying Chen wanted to say to him.

but!

Zhang Julu was able to become the Prime Minister of Liyang by relying on his common status, so he must be one of the smartest people in the world.

Therefore, he only thought about it for a moment and roughly understood what Ying Chen meant.

Persuade him to break away from Liyang and even defect to Daqin.

Zhang Julu was not surprised at all that Ying Chen would do this. After all, Ying Chen was a member of the Qin Empire.

If we can persuade him, the Prime Minister of Liyang, to rebel, it will naturally add more strength to the Qin Dynasty.

just.

What Zhang Julu had never expected was that Ying Chen, the third son of the Qin Empire, could actually see through his plan of martyrdom in order to protect Liyang forever.

To know.

Even among his three sons, only the youngest one saw through his arrangement.

The other two sons had no idea what their father wanted to do.

Even the people around him didn't understand what he wanted to do, and Zhang Julu always thought he had hidden it well.

But I didn't expect that today I would be seen through by a young man from the Qin Empire.

Zhang Julu shook his head and looked at Ying Chen seriously. He suddenly felt a little curious about the third young master.

but.

Now that he had figured out what Ying Chen meant, Zhang Julu couldn't help but think about how he should answer.

After thinking for a while, he spoke softly.

"I am Zhang Julu. As a Confucian disciple, I dare not make rash comments on the meaning of what the second sage Mencius said."

"Just Mr. Ying Chen, do you know Shang Jun?"

When Ying Chen heard Zhang Julu's answer, he suddenly smiled.

"Shang Jun?"

"The reason why our Great Qin Empire can be so powerful today is naturally inseparable from Shang Yang's reforms. Shang Yang really got what he wanted."

"but!"

"Prime Minister Zhang, you understood what I meant so quickly. You are really a smart person."

"But do you think you can compare with Shang Jun?"

"same."

"We, the Great Qin, can live up to the legacy of the six generations, and we want to revive our long-term strategy and rule the world, swallow up the two Zhous and destroy the princes."

"In the end, he took the supreme position and controlled the world, wielded the whip and scourged the world, and his power shook the four seas."

"Do you think the Lord of Liyang is worthy of being compared to my Great Qin?"

"Or."

"Do you think that if there is no Shang Jun, my Great Qin will not be able to accommodate the children of poor families?"

Ying Chen understood that Zhang Julu mentioned Shang Yang to him because he imagined that all reforms require sacrifice.

And he, Zhang Julu, was the one who was willing to sacrifice himself for the poor people of Liyang.

And since he changed the world's situation and allowed the children from poor families in Liyang to succeed in Liyang through studying, it was natural that he would affect the pie of the disciples from Liyang's aristocratic families.

After all, Li Yang’s previous official positions were all hereditary and firmly held by aristocratic families.

Now he has fought for a glimmer of hope for the children from poor families, and has also brought about tremendous changes to Liyang, and his merits are immeasurable.

Therefore, his final outcome will be the same as Shang Yang's.

But Ying Chen did not think that Zhang Julu's move could be compared with Shang Yang's.

After all, Shang Yang not only changed the situation of the poor people in the world, but also laid the foundation for the current strength of Qin.

In comparison, Zhang Julu's vision is nothing compared to Shang Yang's.

"The Qin Dynasty can naturally accommodate people from humble backgrounds, and even people from enemy countries."

"But you must know, my lord, Daqin is not my homeland."

"The Master said: 'I will not associate with those who have no regrets even though they have braved a tiger or crossed a river, and who are afraid when faced with danger, and who are fond of making plans and achieving their goals.'"

Speaking of this, Zhang Julu sighed again.

"Mencius also said: The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important."

"So if you can win the support of the common people, you will become the emperor; if you can win the support of the emperor, you will become a prince; if you can win the support of the princes, you will become a senior official."

"If the princes endanger the country, they will be replaced."

"When the sacrifice is ready, the offerings are clean, and the offerings are made on time, if there is drought or flood, then the altar of grain should be changed."

"As a scholar, I naturally understand the truth."

"But when that day comes, how can I just watch my country fall?"

After Zhang Julu finished speaking, he raised his glass and toasted to Ying Chen.

For the first time, he felt that someone understood him, which made Zhang Julu feel rarely relieved.

"The Qin Empire has a saying to warn future generations: Today, the world is in great contention, and nations are frequently at war with each other. The strong will become stronger, and the weak... will perish!"
