Chapter 400 Debate, Refining (4k)
"You're just thinking a little bit, not understanding what I really mean."
Hearing the reply criticizing himself, Tian Guan took a step forward and slowly sat down at a tall body of nearly nine feet. Although his hair was a little gray, there was still a look of unhurried power between his eyebrows, which made people feel the suppression of momentum.
I saw him wearing a high crown and belt, his robe was decorated with gorgeous patterns, and his five colors and twelve chapters shone together, which was quite like "wrongly picked gold and carved with cords". He looked at Fan Li calmly in front of him, picked up a few flowing clouds in the sky, placed it on the top of the peak and turned it into a clear spring, and then explained:
"A new recruit archer who makes every move during training is probably not as good as an old man who is like shooting skills on the battlefield; he is familiar with the ability to exert in a safe environment, and may not be suitable when he goes to a strange and dangerous place."
"So, even if his performance just now reached the level I needed, he still had to lower his evaluation because he was too young. After joining our Tian family as a guest secretary, he could not get higher treatment for the time being."
"Also, although the name 'Zhiyizipi' is just a code name, it sounds too mediocre and is also difficult to convince others. It is better to change it."
Although Fan Li was born in three families in Wandi, Chu, and was just an ordinary family among the people, he traced his ancestors to the famous Jin State's Supreme Minister Fan Wuzi, who belonged to the descendants of the Fan family of the six Jin State's surname in his blood in the past.
Perhaps when he first rose, his family had fallen into a civilian state and had not received any support from the Fan clan of Jin. However, when Fan Li made some name for himself in Chu and Yue, the big clan of the same origin of the same clan was naturally willing to provide a little help and invest, making the connection between the two deeper and deeper.
However, no matter what kind of friendship Fan Li developed with the Fan clan and the Fan clan, everything changed greatly with the failure of the Fan clan and Zhongxing clan in the struggle between the six ministers.
A few years ago, under Zhao Yang's pursuit, he fled to Qi State in a hurry. Fan Jishe, the last sect leader who had no family power, had obviously no longer comparable to Fan Li, who was an important official of Yue State, and was overtaken by the latter.
However, although after escaping to Qi State, Fan Jishe only obtained a fief of a Dayi and fell to the level of a third- and fourth-tier force, because the Fan family and Zhongxing family had formed an alliance with the Tian family of Qi State, they actually had a good life, at least not to the point of miserable and desolateness.
In order to gain a foothold in Qi State and want to become a vassal of the Tian family and get more protection, the Fan family, thanks to their rich experience in political struggles in Jin State, quickly realized the intention of Tian family to steal the country, so he took the initiative to recommend Fan Li, who was skilled in strategy, to Tian Qi, the leader of the Tian family, and took the lead. He wanted the two sides to reach a preliminary cooperation agreement and the two of them benefited.
In the view of Tian Guan, the eldest son of Tian Qishu, who was in charge of this cooperation, he was located in a Yue Kingdom that was controlled by the Wu Kingdom. Even if Fan Li held the central government, he would be difficult to compare with the Tian family, which was more powerful in Qi Kingdom. Even if the two sides cooperated, there should be a difference between masters and subordinates.
As for Sun Di, who was one of the commanders of Wu Guohong's sword guards, he felt that he was becoming more and more unrespected after Sun Wu retreated. He thought that the main lineage of the Tian clan of Qi had the potential to replace Qi, and was promised by the latter that he could serve as the Grand Sima after the end of his career, command the three armies, or that his father Sun Wu could reappear his power to lead the army to dominate the world. Therefore, compared with being loyal to the King of Wu, he was more inclined to establish good relations with the Tian clan and wait for the opportunity to change jobs.
"That's it, how would you choose between a new recruit who can shoot arrows at the first time and another old soldier with mediocre ability to invest resources to train? It is obvious that the former with outstanding talent is more growth-oriented."
"What's more, the archer who is also a test target in the school field and is good at shooting skills. Yangyouji, who is young, will eventually achieve a complete score of red hearts, but the actual skill level is very different. If it is the latter, even if it is the first to enter the battlefield, it can be far superior to its peers and shine immediately."
Looking straight into Tian Guan's eyes, Fan Li also sat down, and his fingertips slightly turned the clear spring into a winding stream. A copper Jue was placed upstream of the stream. Drink naturally poured out of the Jue and said lightly:
"In addition, I have said before that Zipi is highly valued by my master. Now he is practicing a mysterious magical power. It may take three or four years to wait, or it may only take half a year to agree to your conditions and help Tian's family."
"Okay." At this time, when he received the message from Sun Di next to him, Tian Guan's eyes lit up and he picked up the wine jiao and took it out. He did not feel impatient due to the delay of time. He just condensed a little more, and swept the sleeves of the sweeping robe out and said:
"At that time, if we can hear the name of Qi Yi Zipi spreading in Qi State, it proves that he has such extraordinary potential, and I will give you higher treatment. For the moment, we will only be limited to some intelligence and the degree of cooperation in material exchange!"
...
When Tian Guan, who was not very satisfied, left one after another with Sun Di, a few happy golden carp suddenly appeared on the Qushui beside Fan Li, carrying Jiu Jue to clean it. The young man in white who looked into the distance at the top of the peak also slowly turned around.
I saw the other party wearing a white robe, warm and elegant, and his energy all over his body had no intersection with the outside world, as if he was an independent universe, which was extremely quiet. However, after closer inspection, he could find that the person was always practicing at high speed, but he showed his most dynamic characteristics.
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, as if he could see through all the disguises and potential flaws in the world, but inexplicably gave people a sense of closeness, making others yearn for a better life, naturally correct their biases, and show the most active and vigorous mentality.
If Tian Guan knew that "Zhiyizipi" could have such amazing ability just by scanning her eyes, she would definitely regret her behavior that she had just swept her sleeves away.
"Brother Shao Bo, in the deep pool formed by conspiracy and calculation, I can see through the unpredictable hearts of people. Is this the test that Teacher Wenzi brought to me? Such a way of tempering is unique, and perhaps it can really help me further understand the difference between ideals and reality."
Yang Ziju held a roll of jade slips engraved with ancient heavenly seals in his right hand, and his five fingers in his left hand slightly twisted, transforming into a world of void surrounded by fairy aura in the five directions. His temperament exuded a calm and restrained force, which made people dare not approach it easily.
When he walked to Fan Li, put away the jade slip, and finally spoke, the world seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the clouds slowly fell, as if listening to each other:
"I have heard that after my teacher Lao Dan got the Tao, Kang Cangzi gained the purity of his heart, his ambition was condensed into the universe, his virtue was as good as the world, and he gradually reached the realm of the truth of the Tao; Xin Wenzi gained his extensiveness, read all books, and followed the rules and regulations to calculate the secrets of the universe."
"As these days, I have read hundreds of volumes written by Shao Bo and Wenzi to teach the people's medical divination and books on planting trees on farms. Although the methods are shallow and easy, they are compiled by ordinary people who have never practiced, but they are areas that have not been involved in before."
"If Ziju's residence is not bad, this large area of planned rice fields should have adopted many new technologies you have developed! No wonder the people that farmers at the foot of the mountain often talk about are Wen Zhong and you, besides King Goujian of Yue."
It turned out that the top talent "Zhiyi Zipi" that Fan Li wanted to "recommended" to Tian Guan was the first generation that Lao Dan's new disciple, Yang Ziju, who was considered his uncle.
However, because Taoists despise etiquette and law, Fan Li himself actually accepted my own guidance when he was following Wenzi. However, the two of them fell in love with each other and regarded each other as friends.
Do you care so much about the miscellaneous books I wrote without any trouble? Fan Li thought about it, but he didn't want to mention these trivial matters here, so he changed the topic:
"Ziju, what Tian did, is actually an act of usurping the country and seizing the throne. Even if my teacher provides it, it will lead to such an opportunity, you don't need to get involved!"
"'The water of Canglang is clear, so that I can wash my tassels; the water of Canglang is turbid, so that I can wash my feet.' This is a song written by Master in the past, and it is now widely circulated in Chu." Yang Ziju replied with a smile: "The conflict between the Duke of Qi and the Tian family is not so easy to pollute my mood."
"To be honest, in my personal opinion, Jiang Qi has been mediocre since Taigong Wang. Even the Duke Huan of Qi who created the hegemony had few real achievements, and he was definitely not as good as letting Guan Zhong serve as the ruler of Qi."
"If the virtue of a minister is better than a monarch, the new policy is better than the old policy. The former replaces the latter, which is actually not much different from the abdication in ancient times, so what can be criticized?"
"Be careful with your words! Be careful with your words! You seem a little too radical." Fan Li glanced at the surroundings subconsciously and reminded sincerely.
"Those who doubt that the role of a mediocre monarch is still better than that of a capable minister is nothing more than the system of the country. There is a problem with the system and the current environment. It is no longer the simple and kindness of ancient times. It requires a symbolic monarch to stabilize life."
Yang Ziju talked quietly: "However, ask yourself, from a distance, Zhou Gong was to King Cheng, from a near distance, Zhao Dun was to Duke Ling, when these capable ministers were in charge of national affairs, was the situation of national governance worse than when the monarch was in power?"
"After going further, when King Goujian of Yue served in Wu a few years ago, and the political affairs of Yue were under the control of Ru Youwenzhong, the people of Yue were still living well, which was not much different from Goujian after returning to China."
"There is a king but no king, and there is a king but no king. There must be some agreement between the two, so that the vast majority of middle and lower-level people cannot feel the difference in a stable and healthy life..."
"Shennong is not greedy for the world, but the world is rich; he does not value his wisdom and respects others." After pondering for a moment, Fan Li blinked his eyes and replied: "Now the kings, Dukes and Bosses, virtues are gradually declining, and he relied on his own honor and abused the people. Replacing them is also the right way."
"It seems that you have already helped them think of various 'legitimate' reasons for the Tian family's reign. Even I was almost convinced! Ziju, you should make a joke with me next time and before practicing the art of debate, let me give you a reminder."
When Fan Li ended the topic with a smile, the two tacitly did not express their true views on the way of the king and the ministers in each other, but instead pointed out the wine in the stream from afar, splitting it into two and starting to drink.
Although that's what he said, in fact, Yangziju's personal views are much more radical than what he said about Fan Li today. However, opinions are opinions and actions are actions. Before he grasps the power that can subvert the world, Yangzi is in front of outsiders and tends to have a conservative attitude.
"The political affairs on earth are so similar to the political orders of heaven and earth. But I don't know if Zi Ju has a unique view corresponding to the previous theories in the practice of controlling the changes of the six qi?" After a while, Fan Li seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked curiously.
Unlike Kang Cangzi, who completely lived in seclusion in the world, who was also a disciple of Laozi, Xin Wenzi took the attitude of changing through the world and leaving the world according to the situation, and created a new school that transformed the way of governing the country into practice;
Judging from the fact that Yokoju promised this trial, he should be more inclined to the latter, but the specific situation is definitely different in explaining the details of the Avenue, and it is innovative and has entered a brand new field.
If it weren't for this, as far as Fan Li knew, Lao Dan, who seemed leisurely but had been in seclusion for many years, did not have to take his disciples personally, but would recommend Yang Ziju to Wenzi's disciple, thinking that this was enough to teach him the Tao and make him his junior brother.
...
At the same time, in the side hall of Mingtang in the Yuling Park, the "Chao Jun" gambling game was settled after the Dinghao Yugui bet count was settled, and the King of Kings had just announced that he could place a bet on the last No. 5. Zhao Qing had already prepared it, so he rushed in front of everyone and said almost exactly the same words as Xi Shi:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "All chips, the number Wu Chaojian can survive for several years."
"Are you sure?" Zhenge Wanghu looked calm and pointed to the more than 700 pieces of coix seeds in Zhao Qing's hand, and said lightly: "Although I appreciate some new and interesting methods, even if I lose the bet, I can make up for it, but the main premise is that there is no repetition."
"Miss Zhao, if you are not sure that I can get enough interest, I will hurry up and put it all in. Even though you have already made so many chips, you want to imitate the arrangement of Shi Yiguang's Four Seasons Pictures and get extra rewards by taking advantage of the tricks."
"Why is it not worth the loss? I have my own way, and everyone is welcome to call together." As everyone was looking at the unfavorable eyes, Zhao Qing smiled slightly, spoke confidently, and directly suppressed all the chips. His expression was calm and calm, even made others hesitate for a moment before betting.
However, thinking that the definition of the Chenge Wanghu had just been made, indicating that only the Chaojian in the jade gui of No. 5 can be counted, and there was no other "cheating" method. When Gu Mifu became the second bet, everyone on the field also suppressed the number of chips they had originally planned.
But soon, the wizards who felt that Zhao Qingchun was boring, wasting chips, and even felt sad about it, felt regret and depressed.
The reason for this is very simple. That is, when the moment when the Chenge Wanghu officially opened the lid of the Wu jade gui, a large stream of extremely rich spore smoke ejected out from it, and it spread rapidly in the blink of an eye, floating and undulating in the entire hall.
However, after a few breaths, these millions of spores, which were theoretically quite fragile and were far less high in number, had actually drawn enough vitality from the air and grew into the prototype of amanita mushroom in a short time. The dark green fluorescence was successively formed, showing the shape of layers of streamers, floating and rising with the wind, making the place seem to have turned into a green sea of stars.
But this dreamy scene is still not the most eye-catching point on the field, because with Zhao Qing's simple hand-stretching move, including No. 5, the five jade square guis on the ground actually jumped up on their own and floated straight in the area three feet in front of her.
Considering that these jade guis with numerous restrictions were set up and the energy barrier were originally owned by the Yin Ge Wanghu, there was no reason to listen to Zhao Qing's words like this. There was no doubt that this meant something beyond imagination: they were refined by her and changed their authority even more.
At present, it seems that within half an hour when everyone was allowed to use their own methods, Zhao Qing obviously carried out a series of special biological transformations on the Chaojian of the Jade Gui No. 5, but no one knows what she did and what methods she used.
