"If you didn't have the protection of your ancestors, how could you, Zhao Sheng, use hairpins made of tortoise shells for your hair? Decorate your scabbards with pearls and jade? Do you have hundreds of people following you when you go in and out? Countless fertile fields and beautiful ponds?"
"Maybe you think I'm laughing at you, no, you deserve this, because your ancestors fought hard when it was time to fight, and our ancestors backed down, so you became nobles and we are still commoners. "
"I could have said nothing about this matter, because it has nothing to do with me. Even if the Zhao Kingdom is destroyed, I can still go back to the mountains to farm and live my old life. But I can't bear to see the king working hard. The foundations of the State of Zhao have been dug up by you. If this continues, in at most fifty years, tens of thousands of civilians will stand up and fight against you, this group of decadent nobles, to tear your fragile The unbearable kings and dignitaries shouted, "Princes, generals and ministers, I would rather have the seed," and they will crush you into the dust of history."
Feng Quji looked excited, and Huang Shigong said something he didn't dare to say.
Wei Wuji had a look of helplessness on his face. This was a truth that everyone knew, but no one dared to say it, only Huang Shigong did.
Huang Shigong's words were like a sledgehammer hitting everyone's hearts, making everyone's faces turn pale and their hearts tremble.
As nobles, they knew that their so-called natural nobility was just a lie.
Their nobles are not born, but are inherited from their ancestors. Their nobles are also not eternal. Over the past hundreds of years, countless countries have perished in the world. yeah
If nobles were eternal, the world would still be ruled by Zhou.
To be honest, Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng were not wrong, because this was the case in this era, let alone common people, so what if they were unfavored concubines and concubines among the nobility?
The class divisions and differences between nobles and common people that have existed for nearly a thousand years cannot be erased at once.
In fact, it has been settled now. Due to various influences, Wei Wuji, Zhao Sheng and others have changed their views on civilians. At least they will not regard them as dogs and pigs. But to put them on an equal footing, that is not right. possible.
Even among the younger generation, only Huang Shigong, who was born as a true commoner, put the common people on an equal footing. Feng Quji was more sympathetic to the common people after experiencing the Shangdang War. Li Si was also sympathetic, but what he saw It's a trafficked woman.
Han Fei was born in a Korean aristocracy, and he was truly in two different worlds from the common people. He had more of an impulse to uphold the law, support his senior brothers, and some young people.
In addition, the actions of some people reminded him of King Han, but he did not dare to scold King Han, so he could only scold others... Yeah
"We... did not dig up the foundation of Zhao State." Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and said with firm eyes.
He admitted that he liked to wear fancy clothes, like expensive items, and like the feeling of being surrounded by people, but he definitely did not harm the interests of the State of Zhao or dig into the foundation of the State of Zhao.
As a clan member of the Zhao State, he and the Zhao State are both prosperous and destructive. He will not dig up the foundation of the Zhao State if anyone digs at it.
"The human traffickers are digging at the foundation of the Zhao State. By protecting the human traffickers, you are indirectly digging at the foundation of the Zhao State." Huang Shigong said in a deep voice.
"The person...has been killed. Some people think the sentence is harsh, and some think the sentence is just right. But no one should think that the traffickers are innocent." Wei Wuji looked around and said in a deep voice. ….
No one had any objections.
"In this case, this matter is over. No one is allowed to instigate this matter anymore." Wei Wuji said. yeah
"promise."
…
"That's all?" Zhao Kuo poured a glass of wine for Wei Wuji, resting one hand on the stone table and looking at the pool of lotus in front of him.
"That's all." Wei Wuji said.
"How do you think it should be handled?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"Transfer Li Si to Hetao as the county magistrate." Wei Wuji said.
"Where are Huang Shigong, Han Fei, and Feng Quji?"
"He was also transferred to Hetao to serve as the county magistrate."
"Wei Wuji, aren't you worried that the world will accuse you of using your power for personal gain and suppressing dissidents?"
"Not afraid." Wei Wuji shook his head, his lips
He smiled, his reputation was still very strong, but Zhao Sheng... was a little sad, Han Fei scolded him too harshly.
Moreover, during the Battle of Huayang and Tian Wen's massacre of one county of Zhao State, Zhao Sheng happened to be the Prime Minister of Zhao State, and he could not get rid of the relationship no matter what.
"Besides, didn't your Majesty say that warriors must be in the army, and prime ministers must be in the state department. They are still a little green now. If they want to fight with the ministers, they still need a few years of experience and contact with the real bottom." Wei Wuji said.
"Then let them go to the Hetao." Zhao Kuo nodded.
If the new generation wants to grow up, it is necessary to have grassroots experience. yeah
Moreover, the official position of county magistrate is not low, because Zhao State does not have the administrative level of state. Below the imperial court are counties, and below the counties are counties. It is rare to serve as a county magistrate at the age of twenty.
…
"Does it feel good to scold?"
By the water, He Guanzi was sitting casually on the ground, holding a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth and a dried fish in his hand. There was no fish in the wooden barrel next to him.
"It's great, I've never been scolded so much in my life." Huang Shigong said with a smile, picked up the stone at his feet and threw it into the water.
"Do you regret it?" He Guanzi asked.
"What do you regret? Could they still send someone to kill me? As long as they don't kill me, what can I lose? At worst, I can go back to Chu State or Huangshi Mountain. If you hadn't insisted on bringing me to Zhao State, old man, I wouldn't have wanted to Come." Huang Shigong said nonchalantly. yeah
He was used to living a carefree life, staying away from the court, sitting and watching the clouds roll in and the flowers bloom and fall.
It was only after being brought to the State of Zhao by He Guanzi and being deceived by Zhao Kuo that the young man impulsively decided to stay in the State of Zhao.
He is completely different from Li Si. Li Si values power very much, while Huang Shigong does not value these things at all.
As he said, at worst, he could return to Huangshi Mountain to farm. With his ability, could he still starve to death?
"Haha." He Guanzi stroked his beard with a faint smile on his face.
He knew very well that if Huang Shigong really wanted to return to Chu, this disciple would leave as soon as possible instead of coming to see him.
Since you came to him, it means that you still want to stay in Zhao country. yeah
"Why are you laughing? Do you want to go back to Chu?" Huang Shigong glanced at He Guanzi. For some reason, he always felt that He Guanzi's smile had evil intentions.
"Why are you going back to Chu State? You can sleep as long as you want here every day, and just give a few lectures occasionally. You still get a monthly salary. Why are you going back to Chu State to farm? I'm afraid I'm too old to be a farmer. I have no place to live, and my disciples are unworthy and unwilling to provide for me, an old man, in old age." He Guanzi said. ….
"Senior Brother Pang Nuan is so unkind and unwilling to provide for the teacher in his old age. I'm going to scold Senior Brother Pang Nuan. No, he's a traitor." Huang Shigong said angrily, pretending to get up and leave.
"Come back." He Guanzi scolded helplessly.
He is a disciple who does not stick to formalities, and sometimes even he is helpless.
"Is there anything else?" Huang Shigong continued to squat down, picked up stones and threw them into the river.
"Although you are telling the truth, you shouldn't have said that. Wei Wuji and Zhao Sheng are both people who have made great contributions to Zhao State, and they shouldn't be scolded like this by you." He Guanzi said. yeah
"Then... I'll scold him more gently next time." Huang Shigong said.
"...If nothing else happens, the king will let you go in order to polish your temperament." He Guanzi said.
"Being a Sheriff?"
"You are not qualified enough to be the magistrate of a county at most."
"Then just be the magistrate of one county, it doesn't matter." Huang Shigong said.
"If you decide to stay in Zhao to fulfill your ideal, then work hard. The official career is not as simple as you think. Sometimes compromise is for a better progress. Although I know it as a teacher, I am not willing to do it, so I can only stay in the academy. . But you not only have to understand it, but you also have to do it." He Guanzi said.
"Well, I understand." Huang Shiggong nodded seriously. yeah
"As long as your senior brother is here, they won't make things difficult for you, but you can't keep causing trouble for your senior brother." He Guanzi said.
"Yes, I understand." Huang Shigong nodded.
"One more thing, all my fish were scared away. You go to the street and buy two fish to compensate me... Hey, don't leave... Traitor, unscrupulous disciple..."
