Then he used a dagger to open the wax seal, took out the bamboo slips, opened the bamboo slips, looked at the officials, and said: "King Zhao is training troops in Jinyang, and he is afraid that he will use his troops against our Zhongshan country. If Zhao wants to attack our Zhongshan country, he must first pass through Jingxing. Memorial." Request to increase troops in Jingxing and prepare for war." The Prime Minister of Zhongshan State stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kingdom has just passed the disaster year. King Zhao is training troops in Jinyang to destroy our Zhongshan Kingdom. Your Majesty, you should make plans in advance." King Zhongshan He also asked: "What are the movements of the Qin army stationed in Zhongshan State?" The Prime Minister of Zhongshan State replied: "Still holding down the troops." The King of Zhongshan looked at the Prime Minister and said: "Prime Minister, you'd better go to the Qin Army's camp and see you. This general, the Slaughterer Bee, can use this to find out the attitude of the Qin State." The Prime Minister nodded and said: "I will retire here." Then he exited the Zhongshan Palace and ran towards the Qin Army camp stationed in the Zhongshan State.
Entering the Qin army's camp, he met General Tu Renfeng and saluted, "General." General Tu Renfeng sat in front of several cases and said, "Why did the Prime Minister of Zhongshan State come to see me?" The Prime Minister stood in front of several cases and said: "King Zhao is training troops in Jinyang. He wants to destroy our Zhongshan Kingdom. Please send troops to help." After hearing this, Butcher Feng acted as if nothing had happened and said: "King Zhao is just bluffing. Go back and persuade you. Your Majesty, don't be too nervous, just take good defense." The Prime Minister of Zhongshan Kingdom said: "My king said, if your Qin Kingdom does not send troops, I, the Zhongshan Kingdom, will recruit troops ourselves and send more troops to Jingxing." Massacre people. Feng stood up and said: "There is Qin State behind you. If Zhao State really wants to attack Zhongshan State, our Great Qin will never sit idly by." Then he sat down and said: "If you have nothing else to do, please come back. , This general has other military affairs to deal with." The Prime Minister of Zhongshan Kingdom looked at General Slaughterer Feng and was speechless. Then he withdrew from the military tent, secretly recruited troops, and sent more troops to Jingxing.
On this day, King Wen, accompanied by the generals, inspected the military defenses and visited every military camp. He greeted every sergeant and called Huo Shi in the army and asked, "How is the food for the soldiers?" Huo Shi replied. He said: "Back to your Majesty, their food is very good. They eat meat with three vegetables for three days, and rice and vegetables for two days. They can eat as much as they want." King Wen nodded with satisfaction, looked at the bedding of these soldiers, and said: "The weather is getting colder, and their bedding needs to be thickened." A general said: "We have all noted it down." King Wen walked out of the military camp accompanied by the generals. During lunch time, King Wen had a meal with the soldiers. He ate whatever the soldiers ate. He shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and had a happy conversation.
When King Wen left Jinyang, the people of Jinyang were waiting for him. An old farmer stood among the insects and said, "It is the Wise King." He said to the left and right, "Have you seen it?" The old farmer just showed off and said, "Not only have we seen it, we also sat on the ridge of the field to be intimate. After talking to it, I knew at that time that it was no ordinary insect." Everyone around laughed at it and said, "You are talking nonsense again." The old farmer squeezed out of the insect swarm and ran around calling each other, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." King Wen turned around and said, "Fellow." The old farmer rushed forward and knelt in front of King Wen and said, "Your Majesty!" King Wen immediately helped the old farmer up and said, "Fellow, get up quickly." All the people gathered around him, knelt down and said "Your Majesty." King Wen stood among them, helped the people up and said, "You are all our parents, food and clothing are our livelihood. Food is the first priority for the people. How are you doing?" The people said, "We are living well." Very good." Seeing that King Wen was so thin, he said: "Your Majesty! You have to take care of your health! We, the common people, are all thinking about you." King Wen nodded and said: "Okay, okay." He said tightly again He held the hands of the old farmer and said: "Fellow fellow! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Handan to find me." Then he stepped back a few steps, bowed to them and saluted, turned around and got into the carriage behind him. Shang Fu drove for King Wen and ran Leave Jinyang City.
Here are high mountains and flowing water, with pines and cypresses as reflections. Outside Gufang Pavilion, there are flying streams falling down to the ninth level of the sky, splashing flowers and waves, and the mist is diffuse. Thousands of galloping horses and thousands of troops are like a vast water curtain exploring the front river. There are two elegant people sitting in Gufang Pavilion, playing chess and discussing the world, chatting and laughing, and singing elegant folk songs. It was sung by a shepherd boy who had nothing to do and stood on the top of the mountain while herding cattle. King Wen drove by here and was attracted by the singing. He stuck out his head and called out: "Shang Fu, Shang Fu, stop the carriage quickly." Shang Fu who was sitting in front stopped the carriage, turned around and said, "Mr. "What's wrong?" King Wen walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage. Shang Fu and Cao Shuang got off the car together, stood on both sides of King Wen, kowtowed and said, "Sir." King Wen stretched out his finger and said "hiss", and then said, "Listen." Cao Shuang stood aside and said, "This It's a folk song sung by a shepherd boy." King Wen said, "This folk song is extraordinary!" The shepherd boy stood on the top of the mountain, with the cattle eating green grass behind him, and there was a flute around his waist. The shepherd boy stood on the top of the mountain and sang:
"King Wen is above, and Yu Zhao is in the sky. Although the Zhou Dynasty is an old state, its destiny is renewed. There are weeks that do not show up, and the emperor's orders come from time to time. King Wen Zhi descends, and he is at the left and right of the emperor. King Wen is the king, and the people can't stop hearing about it. Chen Xizai Zhou, the grandson of Prince Hou Wen , this branch has been for hundreds of generations, and all the people of the Zhou Dynasty are not visible in the world. They are not visible in the world, but they are still wings. Think of the emperor and many scholars, and give birth to this kingdom. The kingdom suppresses life and maintains the Zhen of the Zhou Dynasty; aids the many scholars, and King Wen brings peace. Mu Mu King Wen, Yu Jixi respectfully stopped. It is destiny, and there is a grandson of Shang. The grandson of Shang is a billionaire. God has decreed that the marquis will serve the Zhou Dynasty. As a naked general, he always obeys the filial piety. The king's ministers have no thoughts about their ancestors, and they have no thoughts about their ancestors, and they cultivate their virtues. Always say that you are worthy of your destiny, and you seek many blessings. The Yin Dynasty has not lost its master, and it is worthy of God. It is appropriate for him to be worthy of God. In view of the Yin Dynasty, the fate of a horse is not easy! The fate is not easy, and you bow without hesitation. Xuan Zhaoyi asked, there is Yu Yin from the sky. The heaven is carrying it, silently and odorless. King Wen is punished with rituals, and all nations are prosperous."
Cao Shuang stood aside and said, "Sir, let me invite this shepherd boy down." King Wen stretched out his hands and said, "No." Then he bowed to heaven and said, "Maybe my virtue is not enough. This is God's gift. My awakening has caused such a great disaster to the people of our Zhao Kingdom. This is my fault! Instead of reflecting on myself, I have sinned more than anyone else. From now on, I will cancel the title of King Wen and change it to King Hui." Shang Fu stepped forward to persuade him. He said: "Sir, this is the title of the emperor himself!" King Zhao Hui worshiped the sky again and said: "King Wen is above, the light shines. Although Zhou is an old country, the national destiny is new. Zhou's future is bright , God’s will is also good. King Wen’s advancement and retreat are all under the control of God. Diligent King Wen! The reputation of goodness is endless. God has given the founding of the Zhou Kingdom, Fan Yanwen’s prince and grandson. Wen’s prince and grandson, direct lineage and collateral branch It has been passed down for hundreds of generations. The ministers of the Zhou Dynasty have been dignitaries from generation to generation. They have been dignitaries from generation to generation, and their strategies are cautious and solemn. So many wise men were born in this kingdom. The wise men who can be outstanding in the kingdom are all the pillars of the country. Talent. There are many talents, and King Wen's country is at peace. The dignified and respectful King Wen of Zhou is upright and dignified. Greatness is the destiny of heaven, and he has the descendants of Yin and Shang. The number of descendants of Yin and Shang exceeds hundreds of millions. God The order has been given to King Wen, so the Yin Shang surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty. The Yin Shang surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty, which shows that the destiny is not ordinary. The descendants of the Yin people were beautiful and smart, and they came to the capital to assist the king of Zhou. When they assisted the sacrifices, they wore the crowns of the Yin people. Obey. The king's close servants all think of your ancestors and learn from your virtues. They always obey the destiny and do not go against it, and ask for happiness and self-reliance. The Yin and Shang Dynasties did not lose the people and were able to cooperate with God. We should learn from the lessons of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. , knowing that it is not easy to maintain the destiny, don't let it die on you, and carry forward your good reputation. You must know that the death of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was against the will of heaven. God's actions are only in the dark, and it is silent and meaningless. Only by seriously following King Wen's example Only then can the princes of all countries believe and obey." Then he said excitedly: "This shepherd boy is singing about King Wen of Zhou! King Wen's virtues are so great, how can I dare to call myself King Wen?" Then he worshiped the way of heaven again: "It's my fault. From now on, Xiao Yi will be as diligent and conscientious as King Wen, and will not dare to slack off at all." King Hui turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go to the mountain to visit in person."
I found a path up the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and difficult. There were many thorns and weeds along the way. Cao Shuang walked forward, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and cut off the branches that stretched out. King Hui followed, and Shang Fu walked behind King Hui, climbed the cliff, and stood behind the shepherd boy. The shepherd boy turned around and ran up and called, "Grandpa." King Hui knelt down, stroked its head, and asked, "My child, who taught you this song?" The shepherd boy walked up and stood on the top of the hill, pointing with his finger. At the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, he said: "Grandpa, look." King Hui stood up and stood aside, looked over, and smiled: "Thank you, son." He went down the mountain with Cao Shuang and Shang Fu and walked towards the pavilion.
King Wen stood outside the pavilion and looked into the pavilion. Seeing how rude they were, Cao Shuang was about to ask for an explanation, but King Hui stopped him and said, "Cao Shuang, don't be reckless." Cao Shuang said unconvinced, "Sir." King Hui said, "They are An elegant person is naturally noble. You must be sincere when visiting a noble person. Just retreat." Cao Shuang then retreated behind King Hui. King Hui stood outside the pavilion for a long time.
The two wise men looked outside the pavilion. The sky was clear and the air was clear, and the wind was gentle and gentle. There were many high mountains, dense forests and bamboos in this place, and there were clear and rapid streams that reflected them to the left and right. Two noble men sat in the pavilion, talking about their love and playing chess in the world. A Taoist laughed and said: "In the past, when Jiang Ziya was fishing on the Wei River, he met King Wen who founded the Zhou Dynasty." Another Taoist smiled and said: "Jiang Ziya fished with a straight hook, and those who wished would take the bait." The Taoist looked towards the pavilion standing outside. King Hui said: "You see a skinny old man outside the pavilion. Do you think it is King Wen?" The Taoist shook his head and said: "It is not King Wen, but it is a big fish." The Taoist smiled and said: "I think it's King Wen." The Ballad of King Wen has caught a big fish. This King Wen is not the King Wen, so we should go out to greet him. It is not disrespectful to be polite." Gao Shi pulled down the sleeve of this Gao Shi and said, "Have we not finished playing chess yet?" Gao Shi looked at it. He said to the chess pieces on the chessboard: "A big fish has taken the bait. Let's try again another day."
The two Taoists walked out of the pavilion together and saluted: "Your Majesty." King Hui returned the salute: "Sir, please forgive me for disturbing you." A Taoist scholar said: "We live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. We are tired of officialdom. I don't know what your Majesty will do this time." Why do you come to visit?" King Hui stood in front of them and said: "I came to visit you this time just to ask two noble men to come down the mountain with me and govern the State of Zhao with me. I think these two noble men will not abandon the world. The common people ignore it." Gao Shi said: "Your Majesty, you should give up this idea. Today's world is in ruins of rituals and music, and the chaos of the world is not the clarity we want. We will not follow your Majesty down the mountain, Your Majesty still Please go back." Seeing how rude they were to his husband, Cao Shuang stood up and said, "My husband treats you with courtesy, but who would have thought that you are so rude. My husband listened to the questions you filled in about King Wen's After singing the ballad, knowing that his virtue cannot be compared with that of King Wen, isn't it sincere enough to cancel the title of King Wen and change it to King Hui?"
