The next day, the queen went to the palace.
Huang Yunwei was called over. When she saw Lu Yunyan, she naturally put her hands on her waist and gave him a curtsy: "I have met the Queen."
"Sit down." Lu Yunyan said concisely.
"Yes." Huang Yunwei saluted again, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Yunyan's face before sitting down next to him.
Tea was served by the palace maid.
Lu Yunyan didn't speak, and she didn't dare to ask. She felt a bit on pins and needles in front of the queen.
The scene became silent.
Lu Yunyan drank tea by herself.
Huang Yunwei gradually couldn't sit still because she didn't know what would happen next, and her fear of the queen was real.
The temperament of Xuan Jun is simply imaginable for the Queen of Qin.
Not long after, Yang Zhao, a guard in green clothes, walked in quickly without looking at Huang Yunwei. He bowed directly to Lu Yunyan and said, "Your Majesty."
"Tell me." Lu Yunyan put down the tea cup.
Yang Zhaodao: "After investigation by the ministers, we have a general idea about the puppets. The fabric used is not from the palace, but comes from a silk and satin shop in Nan City, Qinzhou. A few days ago, a palace maid visited this place. …”
Upon hearing this, Huang Yunwei's face changed drastically, almost turning pale.
But Lu Yunyan waved his hand and interrupted Yang Zhao: "Okay, there's no need to investigate further. You can go down."
"No!" The latter bowed and retreated.
After he left, Lu Yunyan said calmly: "You have the blood of the king in your belly. For the sake of the child, this is the first and last time. If there is another trouble in the palace, don't blame me." I don’t care about friendship!”
After saying this, before Huang Yunwei could say anything, she said again: "Go back."
"Yes, yes..." The latter was so frightened that his face turned pale. After standing up, he bowed again and hurriedly retreated.
It's a definite knock.
After he returned to the palace, his personal maid hurriedly came up to him and asked with concern: "Madam, the Queen, she..."
Huang Yunwei shook her head, still a little scared: "A disaster almost happened. From now on, we must not act rashly again."
"Madam, what you mean is..." The maid was puzzled.
Huang Yunwei glanced at her: "The queen remained calm, but she ordered the green-clothed guards to conduct a secret investigation, and she has already been found on you."
"What?" Upon hearing this, the maidservant's eyes widened immediately. She was almost frightened. She knelt on the ground on the spot and cried tremblingly: "Madam, please save me. Madam must save me." ah……"
As a member of the palace, how could she not know the tactics of the Qingyi Guards.
Huang Yunwei pulled her up and comforted her: "Don't panic. Fortunately, the queen is generous and doesn't mean to go into details. She is just a warning."
"Yes, yes..." The maid was frightened.
The queen of a king occupies the middle palace. From a ritual perspective, all the monarch's concubines, maids, and female officials in the palace are her subjects, and are therefore the masters of the harem.
If Lu Yunyan really wanted to cure Huang Yunwei, it would be easy for him to do it openly or covertly. How could he not be afraid of the latter?
After this incident, Lu Yunyan also began to manage the affairs of the harem well, otherwise Xiao Yuan would definitely be cruel to her again and say what she was doing to the Queen of Qin.
The days passed like this day by day.
Just when Xiao Yuan was making full preparations to launch the Battle of Xiangyang, an episode happened.
The great scholar of the time condescended to enter the Qin Dynasty.
This person is extraordinary. In terms of pure knowledge, no one in the world can match him, and his reputation is also extremely high.
He was already very old. He founded a doctrine and had many disciples. He came to Qin this time to teach Qin.
Regarding the famous people at that time, the matter was naturally brought up in the court.
A group of literati, represented by Yao Tingyu, all suggested that Xiao Yuan greet him with courtesy, but he refused.
Perhaps they did not expect that the king, who has always been courteous to virtuous men, would suddenly act like this. The ministers could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then Yao Tingyu said: "Your Majesty, Quli is a great sage in this world. He is knowledgeable and famous all over the world. Why is it like this?"
Xiao Yuan asked in return: "Bowley, ten years ago, I traveled around the world to give lectures, but Qin didn't come. Why?"
Before the ministers could answer, he said again: "That's because he regards Qin as a barbaric land, and Qin people are barbaric people! He is not worthy of coming here to lecture. At the beginning, he looked down on Qin from the bottom of his heart, but Now, he is here."
"That's because our Great Qin has risen in China and is proud of all other countries!" Jiang Yi received.
"Well said!" Xiao Yuan exclaimed in shock, "At that time, the countries were humble to Qin, and they were inseparable from these literati. The rise of our Qin country has nothing to do with them! It's okay not to see them!"
"But your Majesty." Yao Tingyu said: "If you don't receive me, I might be suspected of being arrogant."
"It doesn't matter, let him go, Qin State doesn't need his lectures." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
His insistence on this matter somewhat baffled the ministers.
But Xiao Yuan's case was not because of Beiqin's affairs, but because he was using this excuse to refuse to bow down and enter.
Why.
First, Curry was here to explain his doctrine, not to seek refuge with him, and there was no such thing as a polite and virtuous corporal.
Second, even with his eyes closed, Xiao Yuan knew that what the old man came here to lecture was nothing more than loving your neighbor as yourself, treating all countries as one world, being friendly to each other, and so on.
Such a theory can be promoted in prosperous times, but in an era of great conflict, it is a joke!
But that night, when staying at Lu Yunyan's place, the latter couldn't help but ask: "Why did Brother Wang refuse to bow down and enter Qin?"
Xuanguo has the best national customs and attaches great importance to etiquette and morality. When he bowed down to lobby other countries, his teachings were highly valued by Xuanguo. It is not surprising that Lu Yunyan asked this question.
Xiao Yuan glanced at her.
She continued: "Is it really because I bowed to the Qin Dynasty and was resented by Brother Wang? But in my opinion, Brother Wang has always been broad-minded, how magnanimous a king should be?"
"That's not the case." Xiao Yuan explained: "His theory will affect Qin's current political philosophy."
"Brother Wang, what do you mean?" Lu Yunyan asked, almost quarreling over this.
Xiao Yuanyan said concisely and comprehensively: "Qin State follows the rule of law."
"So, Brother Wang plans to become a tyrant?" Lu Yunyan continued to ask.
"What do you mean!?" Xiao Yuan also lost his temper and said angrily:
"In a time of great strife, if you only practice benevolence and do not seek to open up, you can only talk and talk, and you will be the first to perish! If you want the people to not suffer from the war, you can only unite the mountains and rivers! Only when the world is unified can war truly cease. ! To stop this war, we must use force!"
"Great love is love for the world, and it cannot be just words of benevolence and righteousness. Today's Qin must be domineering! Benevolence and righteousness are just the icing on the cake of a prosperous age, do you understand!?"
Lu Yunyan was shocked by his words, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was speechless for a long time.
Even later history books recorded:
Quli traveled around the country, and the princes greeted him politely, but the King of Qin refused.
