Chapter 212 [Dividing the land to recruit talents]
The winter of 362 BC was destined to come earlier than ever.
This winter, a blizzard fell in Qin State, just like the golden rain fell in Liyang last year, which seemed to indicate something. On the day when the snow fell the most, Lao Yinglian reluctantly looked at this disaster-prone country and was a little reluctant to go.
In fact, he didn't get Sun Gengyi as Jun Shu said, and enjoyed his old age. The degree of cerebellar atrophy is no longer treated with the "East Movement Bureau" and a few stone balls. When he left, he couldn't even recognize his wife and son. He only knew to hold Bai Dong's hand tightly and asked him if he really had a dream of China. When Bai Dong nodded to him affirmatively, he finally showed a smile and muttered: "Fifty years of success, and fifty years of success, you are not allowed to deceive me..."
"Fifty years, perhaps forty years, and thirty years, Lao Qin is destined to be the only one who comes from the world and conquers the world, causing shock to the rest of the country!"
Even though he knew that Ying Lian could no longer hear him, Bai Dong still said word by word, every sentence was extremely clear.
This is the first time he cried because of outsiders. His second brother Ying Quliang also cried. Li Jiang, who has always been wise, even cried into tears. On this day, Lao Qin was covered in mourning. Zhang Qi, the most annoying person in Bai Dong's eyes, cried so hard that his eyes were red. Meng Xibai's three clan leader cried until his grief and did not hesitate to grab the ground with his head. Old Ganlong had no food for the whole day...
Even those ministers who had complained about Ying Lianbo were so sad that Lao Qin had lost a promising monarch. Compared with the pioneer Ying Quliang and the outstanding monarchs such as Ying Si, the old king was the one who captured Lao Qin from the underground, so that the country could finally be bathed in the sun. Perhaps he did not have the world and dominance of Duke Mu. However, his contribution to Lao Qin may not be inferior to Duke Mu.
Qin Xiangong, a word Xian, accurately summarized his life, and even the Three Jins, who were most hostile to Qin, had to admit this temple name.
This is the pre-Qin period, this is the Warring States Period. Even the enemy will not comment on the opponent's lifelong merits and demerits against his will. Therefore, Bai Dong could not feel the miserableness of Confucius' so-called "the collapse of rituals and music". Compared with the world two thousand years later, this era is really principled and shameless.
However, no matter how moved it is, we must persist. Bai Zi is now a thunderous figure in Qin State. There is no younger minister, and he is the most popular person in the eyes of Xinjun. But even so, he still "scrambled" to believe that charging at the front line should be a matter of a person like Wei Yang, and it would be better to do behind-the-scenes work by himself. However, judging from the current experience of his second brother Ying Quliang, his behind-the-scenes work is also extremely pangfan. The various efforts and preparations he made before did not reduce much difficulty.
After Ying Lian's death, all countries sent envoys to participate in the national funeral, but none of them proposed the matter of alliance.
This is simply incredible. According to the "international rules" of the pre-Qin era, a great country like Qin, who succeeds the throne, should hold an alliance meeting and invite the new king to attend. This move is not only to determine the status, but also to define alliance rules with the new king of the country, divide the interests. It is more vulgar, just like a group of children playing. Now that a new partner appears, everyone will discuss and ask this new partner to abide by the rules of the game and play together.
But now that countries are paying their condolences, they don’t mention the matter of the Xinjun Alliance. Ying Quliang revealed this to the Wei envoy several times openly and secretly, and even sent a few letters to Wei Ying. But the result was only a sank to the sea and the others ignored it.
Ying Lian's dead letter had already been sent to the Zhou emperor of Luoyi, but he only waited for a reply letter that affirmed Ying Lian's achievements and agreed with the temple name "Xian Gong".
According to the convention, the emperor should mention the time when the angels send their meat. Only when the monarch's ascension ceremony was held after receiving the meat from the emperor, Ying Quliang was considered a legitimate Qin monarch. But now not only the princes in the world refused to take the old Qin to "play", but the Zhou emperor was also pretending to be deaf and dumb and not mentioning the reward of meat. How could Ying Quliang not be angry? For this reason, he had already thrown a pair of white porcelain ear bottles. That was what Bai Dong gave to the new wife of the country, and it was his wife's favorite item.
"I'll give you another pair of ear bottles to Mrs. Guo. If the king is unhappy, he will throw them away. The Bai family has a lot of these bottles."
Bai Dong was writing in the study, as if he was completing an extremely important work. After hearing the news from Jingjian, he immediately ordered Bai Chi to go to the warehouse to get another pair of ear bottles. Now the level of porcelain firing of ink lines is getting higher and higher. It is said that it will not take long to try to burn white porcelain, and also try to burn color porcelain. At that time, this kind of white porcelain ear bottle will not be rare. It will go from a top aristocratic family to an ordinary scholar's house, or even gradually flow into the people. It will not feel distressed if it falls.
Since Ying Quliang got to the top, Jing Jian's rabbit dressed more and more fancy. It was winter, but he was wearing a thin shirt with a silk silk shirt, a bead crown on his head, a pink face, and a full body of white family perfume and moisturizer. He also held an exquisite white porcelain bottle in his hand, and poured out white moisturizer like lard and applied it to his hands. His ten fingers were long and thin, and his fingernails were even covered with impotence juice, which was more feminine than women's hands.
"Isn't you leaving yet? I've taken the petal goat milk bath in my house, and I've been greedy for my perfume and body oil, and I'm still here to disturb my master. Isn't that really unreasonable?"
Bai Dong looked up at him and felt a headache. This guy felt too good about himself. It seemed that he was the only one in the court of Qin. You are anxious. Isn’t Ben Zuo even more anxious? The fleas have disappeared and have never been found yet. For that big event, the Bai family and Xu Gong have not yet opened up the situation. How many things do I have to worry about? You can’t understand? Don’t you know that when literati write books, they must be calm and uninterrupted?
"The fourth brother, you sat at the head of all officials that day, and said a great saying, "What a 50-year-old world, Lao Qin should have this day! Originally, all the civil and military officials thought that you, Bai Zi, would have a feat. I didn't expect that you would just hold it in the village every day, write and draw, or go to Lantian to burn porcelain? I know that porcelain is very profitable, and I am also a money-loving man, but now money is useful? No matter how much Lao Qin has, it will not be recognized by the countries in Shandong. Even the Emperor Zhou, who loves to give meat to his ministers the most, and then exchanges for some gold, pearls and jade, learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb! The king is worried and anxious. I have been with him for many years. This is the first time I saw him so uneasy that he fell into a bottle! What do you want to do?"
"What can I do? Lead troops to attack Shandong countries or the Emperor of Zhou? Third, in the past, you looked like a woman in dressing up and looked like a woman, but now your character has become like a woman? A big man is not fatal enough, but what he fears most is that he has no eyesight! Do you think the Emperor of Zhou doesn't want to give him meat? Nonsense! That was because of the pressure from Wei State, so he deliberately neglected Lao Qin and neglected the emperor! When Duke Xian ascended the throne, if it weren't for Wei Han's compulsory force to force the Zhou Dynasty, Duke Xian raised his troops and helped the king, would you think it would be easy to get the emperor's edict and the emperor's edict? It's also good luck... Unless there is another good show of serving the king and the Zhou Dynasty, the Lord and the Old Qin would be quickly recognized. Do you think this is possible?"
Bai Dong shook his head slightly. Only by living in this era can you understand what the balance of power in the world is. In this environment, unless you can dominate the world like Wei State and indirectly command heroes, you still have to tie your tails together. The status of the Zhou royal family is still very important, but to obtain this status, you have to nod a big country like Wei State. Is this possible?
Wei and Qin are now on the surface, but in fact they both regard each other as imaginary enemies. If Wei had not been clamped by the peace agreement and had been constantly in conflict with Qi recently, he would have probably taken advantage of the Qin Dynasty to establish a new king and attacked Qin when the country was unstable. There was also the cheap senior brother Pang Juan, the world's number one militant, who took time to look at Western Qin. If it weren't for his junior brother, who had studied his own way of "adding troops and reducing stoves" to kill Mu Zhongtu, this guy would have been going to incite the King of Wei to tear down the contract and attack Lao Qin.
It was impossible for Lao Qin to rely on his national strength and prestige to make the people of the world recognize the new king. Nowadays, only by starting from the literati forest, otherwise he would have worked so hard to compile books? A book called "The Jungle of Young Learning" and creating a new poetry style is not enough. There must be something that really shocks the literary world.
"Can we ministers wait for a powerful Qin Dynasty just by doing nothing?"
Jing Jian looked at Bai Dong angrily, and could see that he was truly feeling sorry for Ying Quliang, and had surpassed the feelings an ordinary minister should have for the king.
"You are feeling sorry for the Lord? They are all brothers, so are I. But the Lord has done a good job..."
Bai Dong smiled slightly: "Since ascending the throne, the king has been holding on to the wrong side and has not changed the policy of the old Qin. The subjects in the country only think that Duke Xian is still there and there will be no storm in the world, but no one knows that the king's heart is undercurrent. He is waiting for an opportunity. Third brother, have you ever seen the chicks who sing for the first time?"
"Fengbirds? What do you say?"
"Although the first chick of a young bird is clear and astringent, it is the most sincere and moving voice. Even if it is not recognized by the old birds, it can still impress others."
Bai Dong smiled and picked up the silk paper he was writing just now and handed it to Jingjian: "This is the first whistle of the Lord, what do you think?"
"Recruitment order!"
Jing Jian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but recite: "In the past, I, Duke Mu, cultivated virtue and practiced martial arts between Qi and Yong, pacified Jin chaos in the east, and used the river as the boundary, dominated Rong and Zhai in the west, and spread the land for thousands of miles. The emperor sent a lord and the princes celebrated, and opened a very beautiful business for the future generations. Those who came to the past were harsh, restless, and Jian Gong, and the country was worried, and there was no need for external affairs. The three Jins attacked and seized the land of our ancestor Hexi. Duke Xian ascended the throne, pacified the border, moved to Liyang, and wanted to attack the east, restored the old land of Duke Mu, and revised Duke Mu's government orders. I missed the intention of the ancestor, and was always sad. If there were any guests and ministers who could make strange plans to strengthen Qin, I would respect the officials and divide the land with them!"
