The First Emperor had to read one book after another, not seeking to master hundreds of schools of thought, but just to extract fragments for use in governing the country. He had a sense of fun like panning for gold on the beach.
After reading twelve pages, someone asked to see me.
The visitor is a famous official from Xianyang University, Mao Sui.
Xianyang Academy was the newly established official government of the First Emperor. It was divided into two factions, with distinct divisions. One group is a disciple of Xunzi, and the other is a disciple of Guiguzi.
The First Emperor wanted to enter, but Zhang Han did not wait outside the door as before, but followed him closely, keeping an eye on the frail old man in front, ready to take action at any time.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
Mao Sui, who is nearly sixty years old, has a hunched back, a thin figure, and a frail appearance.
It is hard to imagine that such a little old man had climbed up the ranks with his sword when he was young, and used his literary talent with his words and force with his sword to coerce the King of Chu into agreeing to the Chu-Zhao Treaty.
"Excuse me. Sir, why are you here today?"
The First Emperor helped Mao Sui up with his own hands, and Zhang Han's hand was placed on the hilt of the sword at some point.
"My master Gui Guzi is in Pei County. He is a thousand times more powerful than me. Please see him."
Mao Sui was very respectful.
He was from Zhao, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, and a retainer of Lord Pingyuan. He had a sworn hatred with Qin and hated the king of Qin for destroying the country.
He sacrificed his life and forced the King of Chu to submit within five steps in order to solve the problem of Qin's siege of Handan, the capital of Zhao.
He served Zhao and Yu Qin all his life. After Zhao was destroyed, he used his old age to run around trying to revive Zhao in order to repay Lord Pingyuan for his kindness.
If Guiguzi hadn't written a document asking him to join Qin as an official some time ago, it would be difficult to repay his teacher's kindness, and he would only stand on the opposite side of Qin in his life.
He came here today on orders from his teacher, who wanted to see the emperor.
The First Emperor's eyes lit up at first, and then he smiled immediately.
"Sir, be humble. A teacher does not have to be better than a disciple, and a disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher."
Mao Sui was surprised.
The First Emperor was eager for talents and treated them with sincerity and sincerity. After he came to Qin, he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears that his former lord Pingyuan Jun was far behind.
Why didn't he rush there immediately when he got the news that his division was in Peixian County, but declined instead?
"Your Majesty, you don't want to see my master?"
Mao Sui asked directly.
"Sir, as expected, he is as quick to talk as the rumors say." The First Emperor praised again and said, "It would be a blessing for me if I could meet Gui Guzi, but not now."
"My master travels all over the world and is home all over the world. If you don't go to see me today, you won't be able to see me tomorrow. Your Majesty, you should go quickly."
"Sir, don't be anxious. Please go back first. I will definitely be able to see your master."
Mao Sui took a step forward anxiously and wanted to say more.
As soon as his eyes flashed, Zhang Han stood in front of him with a cold face. He pulled out the Qin sword from his left waist with his right hand and unsheathed it an inch. He raised his left hand to face the door.
"please."
Mao Sui's old eyes focused as brightly as a candle!
"The reason why Your Majesty did not go to Pei County"
"Zhang Han, send Mr. Mao out."
"only!"
When Zhang Han responded, his arm was already hooked on Mao Sui's arm and he pulled Mao Sui out of the house.
Twenty years ago, Mao Sui, who had forced King Chu Lie with a sword, might have been able to compete with him. Today's Mao Sui is even better mentally and spiritually, but his body is in a state of decline.
During this time, when he met the First Emperor who didn't listen to his words, he had no choice but to leave.
When the martyrs reach their old age, their ambitions are still strong, but their broken bodies are not allowed to do so. How sad!
The First Emperor did not feel that Mao Sui was pathetic, only that someone was hateful.
He ruled the world and thought he would have a successor.
He conquers the world, and a certain son protects the world. Brothers eventually become brothers. It is a good story.
Unexpectedly, a certain prince did not learn the kingly way, nor did he learn the domineering way. He regarded the imperial way as a scourge, and he was afraid to avoid it.
The Qin Dynasty ruled the world with martial arts, and the art of war was prevalent. A certain person read all the military books but forgot them all. He was accompanied by Lord Wuan of Zhao and Li Mu, but he never used military tactics to fight.
With his head down, he personally led the charge and came up with an unprecedented theory of military situation. The Great Qin Empire has millions of tigers and wolves, but you are just one person away from charging into the battle?
Upon learning that Guiguzi suddenly appeared in Peixian County, Yingzheng immediately knew that it must be related to someone. The group of Guigu disciples who entered Xianyang was after someone hinted at it.
Politicians have always had the reputation of "when anger makes the princes fearful, and when calm makes the world peaceful", this sentence has both bad and bad reputations. It gives the greatest affirmation to strategists from two opposite aspects at the same time.
Gui Guzi, the ancestor of the strategist family, did not learn the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation, but instead enjoyed the tricks of human nature and went to practice the sword to defeat the "Yellow Emperor"!
There are thirty-six counties in the world. Since the history, there has never been a dynasty with such a large territory and such a glorious family fortune that has never been seen before. Practicing martial arts means becoming invincible in the world. Can you hold on?
One person can fight ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand. Can he defeat the 100,000 Wang family troops in the northeast, or can he defeat the 100,000 Meng family troops in the northwest?
How about learning onmyoji! Can you calculate the rise and fall of empires? Shit! Among the doctors of Yin and Yang, Xu Fuli, who has the highest cultivation and is known as a real person, can't even count his own life and death! Not as good as martial arts that can protect yourself!
Ying Zheng stared at the pistol on the table and cursed in a low voice:
"Idiot! So stupid!"
The First Emperor cursed and felt a little better. He picked up the black gun. The iron pipe was light enough to detect people. The tentacles were smooth and the texture was clear.
The moment he put it in his arms, his anger immediately arose again.
"How dare you practice martial arts when you have this thing! If a man wants to do something good, he must sharpen his weapon first! If you have a weapon, you can do it without using it, not with people! Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
After cursing, the First Emperor sneered.
"It's so powerful that a monarch can make me stay away for fear of bad things! If I let Gui Guzi go, I will cancel the search order in Huashan, and I want you to hold that broken "Yellow Emperor" and live your whole life as a pure Yangzi! "
Pei County.
Old Mrs. Liu looked reluctant and was forcefully dragged to the head of Pei County by Sanzi and Xijun.
Several tables were placed on the top of the city, with fruits, wine, meat, vegetables and delicacies placed on them.
This was of course illegal. The soldiers on duty did not turn a blind eye and asked Mrs. Liu cordially.
"Is the food still delicious?"
Old Mrs. Liu did not speak. Liu Zhong, the second son sitting next to him, stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"It's all my incompetent third brother who caused such ridiculous things. It's shameful for you to make an exception now."
Several soldiers were flattered.
"Second Young Master, your words are serious."
"Yes, yes, this place has never been so lively."
“It’s the excitement that makes it popular!”
"..."
Old Mrs. Liu thought it was a bit noisy and patted Erzi lightly.
The expression on Liu Zhong's face remained unchanged, and he naturally stretched out his hand and led the soldiers to sit at another table.
His voice was deliberately lowered a little, and the soldiers immediately lowered their voices as well. Everyone toasted and exchanged glasses, chatting and laughing.
Grandpa Liu called his third son Liu Ji, who had a ruffian look on his face, pointed at Liu Zhong and said:
"Look at your second brother, and then look at you!"
Liu Ji chuckled, puffing out his chest and head, looking dismissive.
Old Mrs. Liu frowned and pushed away the maid with hammer legs.
"why are you laughing?"
Liu Ji leaned lazily on the stone platform.
"I can't imitate the second brother's ability to welcome and send off guests, but I have seen someone who is even better than the second brother. The brothel girl from Daliang makes everyone who comes feel at home, feeling comfortable in their hearts and even more comfortable in their crotches."
His ears were perked up to listen to what was going on here. Liu Zhong, who was doing two things, froze up. He felt that the smiles on the faces of the soldiers opposite him were all mocking him, and they almost cursed.
Old Mrs. Liu would hit her with a stick.
"You bastard! Me"
"master!"
Liu Ji's biological mother stopped her husband and glared at her favorite third son.
"Why did you ask your father to come here to see you? Since you want to prove here that you are better than your second brother, why don't you get started!"
She gave birth to four sons, but the youngest Liu Jiao was more sensible than Liu Ji and was already involved in family affairs at this time.
Only the third son, Liu Ji, was idle and did nothing, and got into trouble every day. But the more this happens, the more she prefers Liu Ji. The palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. As a mother, I always hope that all children can live well.
Liu Ji usually showed great respect to his mother, but today he sneered for some reason.
"What a hurry!"
Old Mrs. Liu was really angry now. He pushed Xijun away and the stick fell in a round shape.
"Shuzi! How dare you speak to your mother like this? I'll beat you to death!"
Pa~
The stick did not fall on Liu Ji as usual.
Liu Ji grabbed it, added a touch of sarcasm to his sneer, and grabbed the stick with force.
Old Mrs. Liu had not experienced this and was stunned for a moment.
Liu Ji's face turned ferocious, he bent his legs, held the wooden stick in both hands and dropped it heavily on his legs!
There was a crisp sound, and the wooden stick broke into two pieces.
"Liu Ang, I gave in to you before. I, Liu Ji, have traveled far and wide and am invincible. Lord Xinling also said that my martial arts are superb. How can you beat me?"
"Liu Ji!"
Liu's mother shouted fiercely. This was the first time she had yelled loudly since Liu Ji was crowned.
She no longer recognized her children. How could the third son, who was just a little naughty but would always make her happy, become like this?
"Kneel down! Admit your mistake to your father!"
Liu Ji threw away the two wooden sticks and let out a light chuckle.
"Ji's fault is that he should not have been born into the Liu family, and should not have been the son of Liu Ang, who is so arrogant!"
Old Mrs. Liu was breathing heavily. He stepped forward and slapped Sanzi, but Sanzi pushed him hard and fell down on the chair.
"It's against! It's against! It's completely against! Get out of here!"
Old Mrs. Liu shouted loudly!
"Liu Ji! Bastard! How dare you talk to my father like this! I'll chop you up!"
Liu Zhong couldn't bear it any longer. He pulled out the sword from the soldier's waist and jumped up to slash at him angrily! He knew that his third brother would be able to escape with his martial arts skills, so he didn't hold back this time.
Although the two brothers often have conflicts, in the end they are still brothers.
Liu Zhong looked down on the third brother's habits, but he never disowned him and secretly paid off a lot of gambling debts to Liu Ji.
The sword came very quickly, rushing towards the head. Liu Ji seemed to be unable to avoid it in time, so he only had time to turn his head to avoid the vital point.
The long sword scratched his arm, his clothes were torn, and blood flowed out.
Liu Ji's eyes were cold and emotionless as he looked at his second brother who was standing there, muttering, "Why didn't you avoid it? I didn't mean to hurt you." He dropped his sword and hurriedly looked at his injury.
With a kick, Liu Zhong flew three meters backwards and hit the table where he had just been talking to the soldiers. The food and wine were shattered on the floor.
"You want to kill me?"
"Ji'er!"
Mother Liu screamed in shock and rushed forward to grab Sanzi's arm. With tears in her eyes, she tore off the sleeve strips and bandaged him.
While bandaging, he said:
"Your second brother didn't mean it."
Liu Ji couldn't bear it in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it. He pushed his mother away with all his strength, pointed at Liu Zhong and shouted:
"He wants to kill me! Don't you care? You are still going after him!"
"Third brother, you"
Liu Jiao, the youngest and fourth son of the Liu family, said that he and Liu Ji got along best. When he was a child, he was bullied. He asked his father and mother to ignore him, and asked his second brother to stop playing with those people. He only asked his third brother, who would take him back and beat him back.
I spoke this time to ease the tension.
Liu Ji interrupted sharply and glanced over, frightening Liu Jiao to dare not speak. He just felt that the third brother was going to eat him.
"Shut up! Have you forgotten who helped you fight when you were a child? You also want to talk to Liu Zhong? Hahaha, now the second brother is living well, the third brother is shit, I only recognize the second brother and not the third brother Is that so?"
Liu Ji laughed.
"Ji'er, what's wrong with you..."
Mother Liu wiped away her tears and kept thinking about it. She rushed towards the third son several times, but was stopped by Mrs. Liu every time.
Old Mrs. Liu frowned and looked at the three sons who had not recognized their relatives. Without saying a word, he just controlled his wife.
"Liu Ji! What are you going to do today?"
Uncle Liu spoke. He was the eldest son of the Liu family. He was always honest and honest. He knew that he was not as good at dancing as his second brother, so he was willing to retreat behind the scenes.
The third brother was acting so nonsense today, which made this honest man's eyes wide open and he shouted loudly.
"What do I want to do? Hahahaha, good question!"
Liu Ji jumped up and jumped to the edge of the three-foot-high city wall. Behind him was the outside of the city. If he fell, an ordinary person would definitely die. Seeing this, Liu's mother covered her heart and kept screaming for him to come down.
Liu Ji tore off a section of his linen clothes, wrapped one hand around his injured arm, bit the strip of cloth with his teeth, and helped tie a knot.
Standing on the city wall, he was taller than everyone else.
He pointed at his father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother, as well as soldiers from Peixian County, maids from the Liu family, and servants from Liu Ji.
"Nai Gong is going to make you wait and see today! What kind of person Nai Gong is! Compared with Nai Gong, Liu Zhong is not even worthy of carrying shoes!"
Most people thought that the third son of the Liu family was jealous of the second son, Liu Zhong, because he was not welcomed by the old lady Liu, and became mad.
There's sympathy, there's disgust, there's also the clown show.
However, right now!
The gongs and drums rumbled, and gold and iron clashed!
The earth roared without warning, thunder continued, and the wine and food on the table shook along with the wooden table.
"Haha, we're here to pick up Nai Gong. Show Nai Gong outside the city!"
Liu Ji laughed wildly, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw thick smoke billowing in the distance, and a group of armored cavalry came from Pei County. They were divided into two columns at a rapid speed, and two black lines stretched back, as if there was no end.
Amidst the yellow sand, it can be seen that the horses are all tall and tall, and their horses are extraordinary. There are only ten horses in Peixian County!
"This is Qin Jun!"
A soldier on duty lost his voice.
Although the Chu Kingdom has been destroyed, deep in the Chu land, they still consider themselves Chu people.
"Liu Ang!"
Liu Ji jumped off the city wall, grabbed his father's collar and went to the top of the city, asking him to look at the tiger and wolf troops filled with smoke.
"Tell me! Which one is stronger, Liu Zhong or me?"
