Wei Yao calmed down, tried to stay calm, and sat on the throne.
"Go to court!"
"Long live your Majesty!" All the ministers saluted, and then someone said: "Your Majesty, the envoy from the State of Qin has arrived in Daliang and is waiting outside the palace at the moment."
"Quick, let him in!" Wei Yao greeted.
"yes!"
"Send the envoy from Qin to the palace!"
Wei Yao looked eagerly outside the hall and saw a man wearing a black and red long-sleeved robe walking towards him. He had a tall figure, a face like a crown of jade, his hair was tied up in a bun, and his expression was gentle yet heroic.
Wei Yao felt her heart beating "bang bang bang" and wanted to scream. This was the Zhang Beichen she saw in the simulated time and space, exactly the same!
The man who fell in love with her and had children with her in many simulations!
"Zhang Beichen, envoy of Qin, pays homage to the King of Wei!" After Zhang Beichen saluted, he also looked up at Wei Yao.
On the throne, Wei Yao was wearing a bright red deep robe underneath and a black wide-sleeved royal robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, which was decorated with jade and jewels.
She has a small face with melon seeds, thin and long eyeliner, like a fox, and the familiar tear mole dotted in the corner of her eye. Not only is it not inconsistent at all, but it adds a bit of charm.
Zhang Beichen glanced down unconsciously. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in the simulation. Wei Yao's figure was indeed the most outstanding. Even the deep royal robe could not hide her proud curves!
"Zhang Beichen!" Wei Yao couldn't help but run down from the throne when she heard his voice.
"Your Majesty!" The etiquette officer was startled and quickly reminded Wei Yao: "Ahem, Your Majesty, please pay attention to etiquette."
Wei Yao then calmed down a little, came to Zhang Beichen, looked at him closely, and saw her eyes filled with joy, and said: "Qin Xiang is indeed a talented person, majestic! I have heard about it for a long time, and I have seen a lot today. It’s love! Give Prime Minister Qin a seat!”
Wei Yao's words made all the ministers look surprised. The other party came to seek peace. Why are you so polite to him?
He was also given a seat. The general Pang Ming and the prime minister Prince Jiu were both standing in the hall!
Zhang Beichen didn't want to offend the entire Wei court as soon as he came, so he said: "Thank you, King Wei. Foreign ministers can just stand."
Wei Yao returned to the throne, and Zhang Beichen said: "King Wei, I, the King of Qin, heard that Wei wanted to attack Qin, and sent foreign ministers as envoys. Qin did not want to fight with Wei again, and asked King Wei to take back his order. "
"Okay!" Wei Yao agreed directly without thinking.
Zhang Beichen couldn't help but was speechless. He thought that during the simulation, Wei Yao behaved a bit freely, maybe because of the simulated time and space, but who knew that this was also the case in reality!
The ministers of the Wei State were completely speechless now. They were all ready to ridicule Zhang Beichen, and then seek favors from the Qin State. Who knew that Wei Yao would betray them directly!
"My king!" Young Master Jiu stood up and reminded, "I think we need to discuss whether to declare a truce or not."
"No need to discuss!" Wei Yao waved her hand and said, "I feel that since the Qin State is so sincere, the Wei State cannot be narrow-minded, so we will stop fighting for the time being and cultivate our health."
The foreheads of the ministers of the Wei State were all covered with black threads. Sincerity? How do you know that the other party is sincere? Zhang Beichen clearly didn't come up with any conditions!
A discerning person kept looking at Wei Yao's expression and thought, "Could it be that King Wei was lustful because of Zhang Beichen's handsome appearance?"
"It's really possible!"
Fortunately, the ministers of Wei State have become accustomed to Wei Yao's style. Pang Ming said: "Let's not discuss this matter for now. Zhang Beichen, you can go down."
"No!" Wei Yao stopped him and said: "How could the Qin envoy be so rude to him when he first came to Wei? Zhang Beichen, during the time you were on the mission, you went to court with my Wei officials. . So that you can see the style of our great country, Wei!"
"The foreign minister obeys the order. _o_m" Zhang Beichen didn't have any objections.
Wei Yao continued: "Today we will discuss the reform of official administration and official selection again. If you have any opinions, let's finish it today!"
Zhang Beichen understood that Wei Yao was asking him to help give advice. In the simulated time and space, in order to reform the official governance and official selection system in Wei State, Wei Yao was even forced to abdicate!
now that. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 95 King Wei, why are you facing outsiders?
The King of Wei had said this, and naturally the ministers began to express their opinions.
A civil servant came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the government of Wei does not need to be reformed. Wei is strong because its system is superior to other vassal states. Even if there are some corrupt officials, they are only a handful. The king and the prime minister will naturally handle it properly."
Young Master Jiu was very satisfied, but Wei Yao scolded him directly: "Why are you flattering me here? I asked you to give your opinion, not to waste my time here. If you can't speak, don't speak!"
The minister was scolded and retreated angrily.
After Wei Yao finished scolding, she suddenly felt that she was too rude in front of Zhang Beichen, so she quickly said in a gentle tone: "I am emotionally excited for the moment, please continue!"
The other ministers did not dare to speak, so Prince Jiu said: "My king, I think it is inappropriate to reform the selection of official positions, promote Confucianism, and select officials through the imperial examination system. The officials selected in this way are all here for fame and fortune. It goes against the way of the saints.”
"I, the ministers of the Wei Kingdom, all inherited their father's legacy and received a good education since childhood. They are much better than those country folk and poor scholars!"
All the ministers said one after another: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true!"
Even General Pang Ming, who had always been at odds with Young Master Jiu, stood by Young Master Jiu this time.
Wei Yao blinked at Zhang Beichen, and then said, "What do Qin Mang think about this?"
Zhang Beichen understood the idea and said: "The foreign minister thinks that what Prime Minister Wei said is inappropriate. How can a son inherit his father's legacy and ensure that his descendants are wise and talented? Promote Confucianism and let people who are well-read in poetry and books serve as officials, at least He can be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and possess certain talents and learning. He will not be illiterate but able to take charge of a country."
Prince Jiu hummed lightly and said, "What Prime Minister Qin said is ridiculous! I also practiced Confucianism and Taoism. The Master said: "To restrain oneself and restore propriety is benevolence."
"Masters have all said that scholars must be able to restrain their desires and study tirelessly in order to become a "benevolent person." And if the imperial examination is implemented to select officials, then studying is no longer for improving personal character, but for With fame and wealth, the elected officials will naturally be obsessed with interests and find it difficult to fulfill their responsibilities."
After Young Master Jiu finished speaking, the ministers of the Wei State praised him one after another. They were all born into noble families, and naturally they did not want the poor men to come and steal their jobs.
And Gongzi Jiu used the views of Confucian sages to refute the opponent, which was reasonable and well-founded.
"Hahahaha!" Zhang Beichen suddenly laughed loudly.
"Why are you laughing?" Young Master Jiu said angrily.
Zhang Beichen said: "According to what you said, self-denial and courtesy are benevolence. I also heard that Mr. Jiu is a romantic by nature and loves beautiful women, vocal music, and swords. Your desires are stronger than ordinary people. So why don't you restrain yourself? What if you want to give up your wealth, official position and title to study etiquette and knowledge and become a benevolent person?"
Prince Jiu said angrily: "I have the ability to serve as the Prime Minister of Wei, why should I give up?"
Zhang Beichen continued: "Confucius said: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Since you yourself are an official for fame and fortune, why do you ask others to deny themselves, return to propriety, and live in poverty?"
Zhang Beichen said to the ministers of the State of Wei and Wei Yao: "King Wei, ministers of Wei, I think that talented and learned people, regardless of their origins, rich or poor, should be selected as officials. And officials should continue to study and increase their talents. Only in this way can the country be better governed.”
"This means: if you are an official and you are good at it, you will learn; if you are good at learning, you will be an official!"
"If you are an official, you will learn, if you are good at learning, you will be an official?" When several Wei Chen who practiced Confucianism heard this sentence, they were enlightened and exclaimed: "This is simply the words of a sage. Studying and being an official are essentially the same thing." Don’t violate it!”
Young Master Jiu was about to make a sarcastic comment when he suddenly saw the shadow of a scholar appear behind Zhang Beichen.
At the same time, a dragon-shaped shadow with two bodies appeared in the sky, and it sent down the power of luck to baptize Zhang Beichen.
The dharma body behind Zhang Beichen chanted: "If you are an official, you will learn well; if you learn well, you will be an official!"
The sound resounded through the hall and could be heard by the entire Wei Kingdom.
"That is the totem of our country, Fei Yi! His words actually caused the totem to appear and send down the power of luck to baptize him!" The officials of the Wei State were horrified.
One sentence can stir up the national destiny, which explains what Zhang Beichen just said. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 95 King Wei, why are you facing outsiders?
, has reached the level of the Holy Word and can make Wei strong and prosperous!
"He is obviously the prime minister of Qin, why is this happening?"
"I only heard that Zhang Beichen was a disciple of the Legalist School before, but I didn't expect that his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation were so advanced!"
Young Master Jiu felt jealous: "I claim to be proficient in various schools of thought, but I have never caused any strange phenomena in the world. The first time this Beichen came to the Wei Kingdom, Fei Yi appeared, and all the limelight of his true appearance was robbed!"
Wei Yao also opened her eyes wide, looked at Zhang Beichen, clapped her hands and said, "Well said! Zhang Beichen said it well, did you all hear it?"
After Zhang Beichen's baptism, his own cultivation level went directly from the early stage of Dharmakaya realm to the late stage. It has to be said that because of the strong national power of Wei State, the power of national destiny is much stronger than that of Qin State.
The ministers in the palace were still amazed, and Zhang Beichen smiled secretly in his heart. If it were in the Qin State, the officials of the Qin State would probably be used to it.
A minister who practiced Confucianism stood up and asked Zhang Beichen: "I dare to ask Prime Minister Qin, since Prime Minister Qin said that if you are an official, you will learn, and if you learn well, you will become an official. And the sage also said that self-denial and restoration of propriety are benevolence. _o_m Then I Confucian students, why are they studying? Is it to restrain themselves, restore etiquette, and become a benevolent person, or is it to become an official?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Beichen. This question seemed simple, but in fact it was very tricky. He wants Zhang Beichen to set a direction for Confucian disciples in the world. Is this something ordinary people can say? Even the great Confucians dare not draw conclusions easily!
If you say something wrong, you will suffer backlash, or even go astray, and your cultivation will plummet!
Zhang Beichen didn't panic at all. He had already encountered similar problems in simulated time and space.
At that time, he wrote "The Great Learning", a masterpiece of Confucianism and Taoism, which set the method and direction of reading for scholars all over the world.
But to actually write "The Great Learning" requires at least the cultivation of a semi-saint. At this time, Zhang Beichen cannot write the full text of "The University", but it should not be a problem to tell the essence of it.
He then said: "In ancient times, if you want to bring enlightenment and virtue to the world, you must first govern your country; if you want to govern your country, you must first regulate your family; if you want to regulate your family, you must first cultivate your body; if you want to cultivate your body, you must first rectify your family. Heart; if you want to rectify your heart, you must first be sincere in your intention; if you want to be sincere in your intention, you must first know it, and knowing it is to study things. After studying things, you will know them; after knowing them, your thoughts will be sincere; if your thoughts are sincere, then your heart will be righteous; if your mind is righteous, then your body Cultivate your body, then your family will be in order, your family will be in order, and your country will be governed, and your country will be governed, and then the world will be peaceful."
“So, the purpose of studying is to cultivate one’s character, manage one’s family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!”
The words Zhang Beichen said turned into golden fonts and floated in the air.
The scholar-like Dharmakaya behind him chanted again: "Cultivation of one's character, order of family, governance of country, peace of the world!"
At this moment, all the scholars in Wei heard this voice.
They were ecstatic: "So this is the purpose of reading!"
"Yes, self-cultivation and being an official and governing the country are not contradictory in the first place!"
"Reading must be put into use. This is our lifelong goal!"
"Great sage! The one who said this is truly a great sage. From now on, this is my ambition!" The Confucian and Taoist disciples bowed in the direction of Wei and thanked Zhang Beichen for his advice.
A large amount of luck power poured into Zhang Beichen's body, and his realm unexpectedly broke through again, from the early stage of the fourth stage to the late stage of the fourth stage!
"Okay, that's great!" Wei Yao stood up and said with a smile: "As expected of Zhang Beichen, have you all heard it? As officials, you also need to cultivate yourself, manage your family, and govern the country. And to select officials, you also need to select These talented and learned people.”
"The king now announces that from today on, schools will be set up all over the country of Wei to teach the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought. In addition, the imperial examination will be held every three years. It will be divided into civil and military examinations to select talents and enter the court. I will serve as an official and govern the state of Wei!"
After Wei Yao finished speaking, Fei Yi circled behind her and kept chirping.
When everyone saw this, they didn't dare to object. They could only say: "Your Majesty is wise."
The promotion of official studies and the selection of officials through imperial examinations will definitely make the country prosperous. If Qin State didn't have this foundation, Zhang Beichen would have wanted to implement it in Qin State.
Young Master Jiu remained silent. Wei Yao looked at him coldly and asked, "Prime Minister, what else do you have in mind?"
Even though Young Master Jiu was unwilling to do so, he could only lower his head and say, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Okay!" Wei Yao looked at Zhang Beichen and once again announced something that made all the ministers envious and jealous. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 95 King Wei, why are you facing outsiders?
Decision: "Zhang Beichen has made great contributions to the governance of our country, Wei. I now appoint him as the foreign minister! He is not only the prime minister of Qin, but also the prime minister of our Wei!"
It is very common in this era to have seals from many countries. But usually several countries form an alliance. In order to facilitate the command, the minister who leads the alliance will be appointed as prime minister by the monarchs of multiple countries at the same time.
Now, Qin and Wei are hostile! He actually promoted the prime minister of an enemy country to the position of foreign minister. Wei Yao was the first to do so among the princes!
Zhang Beichen was so favored by the King of Wei. Now, not only Prince Jiu, but also Pang Ming was twisted with jealousy! The position of prime minister is an outsider. They have put in so much effort to get their current status, but Zhang Beichen actually got it so easily!
Who wouldn't be jealous?
Zhang Beichen looked at the hostile looks around him. He really didn't expect that Wei Yao would promote him to prime minister on the first day he came to Wei!
If Ying Yin knew this, wouldn't he be so angry? This is simply blatant poaching!
Zhang Beichen did not forget the purpose of his coming, which was to seek peace. _o_m Since we are "seeking" peace, we can only follow Wei Yao's wishes. He said bravely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful!".
