Seeing Wen Zhong suddenly appear, Yuan Gong was a little surprised and worried whether the other party would be harmful to Zhao Qing; Chang Ji couldn't help but widen his eyes, full of shock.
Fan Li and Wenzhong were indistinguishable in terms of their status in the Yue Kingdom. Even Zhu Jiying, the most famous master in the Yue Kingdom, was not as famous as him.
However, it is said that Fan Li only has the cultivation level of the lower six realms, while Wen Zhong is a top expert in the middle six realms. In this era that emphasizes cultivation, most people are more willing to seek refuge with those with higher cultivation levels.
Back then, when Gou Jian was a hostage in the State of Wu, Fan Li accompanied him, while Wen Zhong stayed in the State of Yue to preside over state affairs. He also accumulated a large number of contacts and became extremely powerful.
If it weren't for Fan Li's new achievement of designing and building Kuaiji City, his deliberate balance with Gou Jian, and his own restraint, Wen Zhong might have become the undisputed number two figure in the Yue Kingdom.
In fact, as far as the people are concerned, due to Wen Zhong's fundamental policy of "loving the people only" in governing the country, his reputation is hardly inferior to that of Gou Jian.
Wen Zhong wrote "Wen Zhong Two Chapters", which expounded the two thoughts of loving the people and advocating the virtuous. Those who love the people "will do no harm if they benefit, do not lose if they succeed, do not kill if they live, and do not take away from them."
"If you don't take away what the people like, it will be beneficial. If the people don't lose their time, they will achieve it. If you save punishment and punish it, you will live it. If you thin it out, you will give it to it. If you don't have many Taiwan tours, you will enjoy it. Quiet and without. If you are harsh, you will be happy.”
He further pointed out, "I heard that those who serve the country well will love their children as parents, and their brothers as brothers. I feel sad when I hear about hunger and cold, and feel sad when I see people working hard."
Gou Jian accepted Wen Zhong's idea of loving the people, and implemented a series of measures to love the people in governing the country, such as "being close to the people", "suspended sentences and light punishments", and "light corvee and small taxes".
In order to better realize the idea of loving the people, Wenzhong also places great emphasis on the selection and training of talents.
He believes that while absorbing foreign talents, we should also focus on actively cultivating talents in normal times, discover and select talents in a timely manner, and enable talents to be produced by ourselves.
When the country is truly in crisis, only countless reliable, active and brave talents will step forward and shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the country from danger.
In Zhao Qing's view, Wen Zhong's philosophy of governing the country, which is people-oriented, is much better for the people than Shang Yang's later five skills of controlling the people: "one people, weak people, tired people, humiliating people, and poor people". How much do you know.
It is also reasonable that the other party serves as the dean of the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, which discovers and selects talents for the Yue Kingdom.
But having said that, perhaps it was precisely because Wen Zhong was so powerful that he had the strength to threaten the royal power, which paved the way for him to be killed by Gou Jian in the future.
While Zhao Qing was thinking a lot, Wen Zhong glanced at the two people fighting in the palace and continued: "If you want to stop them two to reduce the trouble for Miss Shi, you don't have to."
"Although Mingyou's martial arts talent is not as good as that of his two brothers Mingshan Mingzuo, he can still be ranked among the top ten in Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy. Weiyu's Shu method is more powerful than flexible, so he is not his opponent. .”
Are all Wen Zhong’s sons very talented? Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly, knowing that the other party had no need to deceive him in this place, so he temporarily gave up the idea of taking action.
Sure enough, only a moment later, "ding ding ding ding" dozens of very short and continuous blows formed a long and leisurely sound, each one hitting the long edge of the Wei Valley.
Until the last metal collision made a "clang" sound, ringing in his ears like a dream, the Weiyu tiger's mouth suddenly burst open, and Chang Si flew out upside down, and was killed by another young man in his twenties and seventies. Jump up and grab it in your hands.
"Xiao Cheng's Thousand Ren Returning Mountain Strength? Did your brother teach it?" Weiyu's gloomy face was blue and white. He glared at Wen Mingyou fiercely, lowered his head, took back the weapon from the young man's hand, and turned around. leave.
Wen Zhong didn't pay much attention to the fights among these young people. Although he was the dean of the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, he had a heavy workload on weekdays and rarely took time to come.
In fact, even if the policy of "recruiting talents" is set, compared with ordinary geniuses who have no hope of breaking through to the Six Qi Realm, compared with truly talented geniuses, he will naturally pay more attention to the latter.
In other words, only those cultivation seeds that have the potential to reach the Six Qi Realm can receive strong support from the martial arts academy's resources.
From Wen Zhong's point of view, Zhao Qing was recommended by Zhe Ge Wuhan and Zhu Ji Wuci, and already had Qi refining skills equivalent to the peak of Huajin at the age of fifteen. Zhao Qing was obviously one of the top few of the generation in Yue Kingdom. One of the geniuses.
If one is given sufficient instruction and resources, it is even possible to break through to the realm of the upper six qi.
"Miss Zhao Qing, I have informed my subordinates to handle matters related to your joining the martial arts academy." Wen Zhong said in a kind tone: "If you encounter anything here, you can contact Wen Gao who is in charge of the library. help."
"Wen Gao?" Zhao Qing asked.
"Wen Gao is my eldest son. He is now thirty-four years old. He has been accumulating at the peak of Shenjin for five years. He is currently the director of the martial arts library and is sometimes responsible for teaching some of the martial arts courses."
Wen Zhong explained to her, and his tone couldn't help but reveal a sense of pride.
Reached the peak of divine power at the age of twenty-nine? Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly. Even with the support of the Wen family's resources, if Wen Gao could practice at such a speed, his talent must be extremely amazing.
Most of the teachers at Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy have the cultivation level of Shen Jin, and only a few have the cultivation level of the Lower Six Qi Realm.
After all, shenjin is already at a level that only one among tens of millions of people can achieve, and those in the Lower Six Qi Realm are even qualified to serve as officials and noblemen of the Yue Kingdom. There are really very few people who can teach students in person.
However, at Wen Zhong's suggestion, Gou Jian also ordered the officials in Kuaiji City to come to the martial arts academy to give guidance to the students when they had free time. This could be regarded as adding dozens of amateur Six Qi Realm teachers.
Zhao Qing is not very concerned about the specific strength of Wenzhong's family. She thought for a while and asked: "Doctor Wen, what did you say before that you asked Wen Mingyou to stop others from pursuing Miss Shi?"
"What's the problem?" Wen Zhong waved his sleeves lightly, and the two of them instantly moved to a hall more than a hundred feet away, and then replied:
"The reason is very simple, because Miss Shi will become the king's new concubine together with Miss Zheng Dan in three years. When my sons get the news, they will naturally try their best to prevent others from offending."
"For the two girls Shi and Zheng, as well as six other stunning beauties, the king has ordered that a gorgeous 'Beauty Palace' be built fifty miles outside Kuaiji City for them to live in and formally marry them three years later. "
"During the past three years, while the eight of them received a large amount of jewelry rewards and training resources, they also needed to learn how to dress themselves, sing, dance, play, cultural knowledge, and court etiquette to prepare for entering the palace in the future."
Wen Zhong glanced at Zhao Qing and continued: "You protected Miss Zheng on the road before, and I would like to express my gratitude here. Well, as a thank you, you can make a reasonable request to me, how about it?"
Install the latest version. 】
After hearing the other party's explanation, Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
Although Wen Zhong said that Gou Jian wanted to marry the princess, she knew the truth and understood that this was just a statement to confuse others.
In fact, the real situation is that after three years of training, he found a suitable excuse to send eight beauties to Fu Chai to implement the "beauty trap".
Zhao Qing had even guessed the general situation of the implementation of the plan at that time. He probably sent someone to contact Wu State's Dazai Bopu and asked him to deceive Fu Chai and ask for beauties from various kingdoms.
Then, King Gou Jian of Yue "reluctantly gave up his love" and dedicated the eight people he had originally selected to Fu Chai. This not only made Fu Chai develop a good impression of the Yue Kingdom, but also, to a certain extent, alienated the Wu Kingdom through comparisons between the presented beauties. relations with its other subordinate countries.
Although she had known for a long time that Xi Shi, Zheng Dan and others would be sent to the Kingdom of Wu after receiving training, she still couldn't help but feel sympathy after hearing the news.
Zhao Qing didn't know the unbearable pain of being forced to serve someone he didn't love, but he could barely guess that it was definitely not uncomfortable.
For a person with a strong personality like Zheng Dan, it may be more painful than direct death.
However, for the sake of their own country and revenge against Wu, Zheng Dan, Xi Shi and others may not necessarily be willing to participate in this plan in the future.
They were born and grew up in the Yue Kingdom, and their elders died at the hands of the Wu people. They also enjoyed Wenzhong's policy of "loving the people". Their feelings for the Yue Kingdom were naturally much stronger than their own, and they could even sacrifice themselves for it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, realizing that at present, he had no way or reason to directly stop this plan, no matter in terms of status or morality.
However, even though she seemed powerless to change, there seemed to be a fire burning in her heart, and a voice echoed: "Is it really okay for you to let them go to Wu State like this?"
"The reason why I practice hard is that what I pursue is to live a long and free life and have a clear mind."
Suddenly, Zhao Qing closed his eyes, then slowly opened them, and asked sincerely: "Doctor Wen? Can these three years be extended for a few more years?"
"Extension for how many years?" Wen Zhong repeated, with a bit of doubt in his tone, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of sharpness.
Although the other party is a genius valued by the two top masters in Vietnam, it is still a bit ignorant to want to rashly interfere in such national affairs before he has grown up.
"Doctor Wen? Didn't you just say that I could make a request to you?"
Zhao Qing unleashed the sword intent that contained the "Division of Yin and Yang" with all his strength, looked directly into Wen Zhong's sharp eyes without wavering, and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Do you really just want to extend it for a few years instead of delaying it indefinitely?" Wen Zhong stared at Zhao Qing deeply, as if he wanted to see through her completely.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Miss Zhao, your sword intention is very sharp and left a deep impression on me. At this age, my swordsmanship is probably far inferior to yours."
"Before, I was actually wrong. In all these years in Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, no one with talent comparable to yours has appeared."
Wen Zhong's face showed an extremely complicated expression, and he said with a somewhat ashamed tone: "In my opinion, your future achievements will be at the lowest level of the Great Perfection of Six Qi. Even the three steps of sealing the sky, you may be able to achieve it." Take some distance.”
If his words were heard by others, they would undoubtedly cause an unprecedented sensation.
As the dean of the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, one of the top three figures in the Yue Kingdom, and a top expert who is expected to break through to the upper six qi within ten years, could Wen Zhong's judgment be false?
As for those who have reached the realm of the six qi masters, even if you look at the whole world, they are at least among the top 20 extremely powerful people. With one person's power, some small and medium-sized countries can be destroyed.
However, Zhao Qing didn't feel half happy when he heard the other party's praise.
From Wen Zhong's somewhat ashamed tone, she had already guessed that what the other person said next was not what she wanted to hear.
Sure enough, Wen Zhong spoke slowly: "I have practiced the art of prying into the heart for many years, and I may have noticed your thoughts. Miss Zhao Qing, have you guessed the hidden purpose behind this 'marrying the princess'?"
The way to peek into the heart? Zhao Qing was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in recognition.
"Oh! So that's what the girl thinks." Wen Zhong sighed and asked in a serious tone: "I am the most sage in the world and also the best master in the world. Have you ever heard of his name? ?”
"I've heard of it." Zhao Qing nodded and replied, already having a vague premonition in his heart.
"More than 150 years ago, I supported his friend Zhou Prince Dynasty, and the Zhou princes supported by the Fan family, Zhongxing family and Zhi family of Jin fiercely competed for the position of Emperor Zhou, which lasted for decades, and finally It ended with the death of Wang Zichao and Wang Zimeng, and the death of Wang Zichao, the half-brother of Wang Zimeng, who ascended the throne."
Wen Zhong persuaded earnestly: "At that time, my cultivation level improved step by step, from the breakthrough of the upper six qi in the first battle to the first step of sealing the sky, 'six qi returns to form', and then to the unprecedented breakthrough in sealing the sky in the past thousand years." The second step is 'Tao reflects the flowing light'."
"However, he only gained a few advantages against Jin, the most powerful country at the time. Although he severely damaged nearly half of the masters of Jin's three ministers, and even affected the strength of the entire Jin, he was ultimately defeated. .”
"Miss Zhao Qing, it's not that I don't value your peerless talent, but if you want to truly compete with a big country, in this era of decline in spiritual practice, you must be strategic and have strong national power."
"With Fu Chai's cultivation level that is about to break through to the realm of the upper six qi, coupled with Wu's current military strength, which is almost the best among all countries, there are really very few strategies that can be effective against Wu."
"And this time the beauty trap against Fu Chai is closely related to the follow-up plan designed by the Yue Kingdom to remove Wu Zixu. As long as Wu Zixu dies in conflict with Fu Chai, Sun Wu will also be separated from Fu Chai, and our revenge plan of the Yue Kingdom will have been half successful. "
Wen Zhong added: "However, if you cancel this 'beauty trap' according to your idea, everything will be very difficult. With Wu Zixu's outstanding ability that is arrogant to all the heroes, if no one restrains Fu Chai, maybe the country of Yue will not only There is no way to take revenge on Wu, and there is even a slight chance that Wu will destroy him."
"Unlike his father, Prince Wu is not lustful, nor does he enjoy great achievements. He can be regarded as the true successor of Wu Zixu. Even if Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, the two pillars of the Wu Kingdom, die of old age, as long as he successfully ascends the throne, our Yue Kingdom will succeed in revenge The chances are still quite slim.”
"Ahem." Zhao Qing coughed twice, interrupted Wen Zhong's words, and asked solemnly: "I don't want to delay it indefinitely, Doctor Wen, you are wrong. I just hope to postpone it for a few years, and get together with Zheng Zhong." Sister, we just want to spend some time together."
Practice for a few more years and strive to reach a higher level. When the time comes, the Yue Kingdom will not need to use the "honey trap" and still have the possibility of defeating the Wu Kingdom, that's all.
