Facing Wei Zhi, who was obviously coming with bad intentions, Gongsun Qi, who had just become the Prime Minister of Wei, first glanced secretly above him, and the one who responded to him was the gentle nod from Wei Marquis Wei Feng.

After seeing this scene, he felt a sense of understanding in his heart. Gongsun Qi slowly came to Wei Zhi. His face was not arrogant at all but full of humility.

"Gongsun Qi, I have met Uncle Zong."

Regarding Gongsun Qi's kind move, although he was deliberately targeting him, the expression on Wei Zhi's face also calmed down a bit.

"I've met the Prime Minister." After a slight reply, Wei Zhi's question rang out again, "I wonder if the Prime Minister can answer the question I just asked?"

Facing Wei Zhi's gaze and listening to the other person's repeated questions, Gongsun Qi's lips curled up into a slight smile.

"I heard that Uncle Zong was fortunate enough to study under Mr. Zixia when he was here. I wonder if this is the case?"

Bu Shang, courtesy name Zixia, was born in Wen County, Jin State. He was listed among the "Seventy-two Sages of Confucius" and the "Ten Philosophers of Confucius".

After the death of Confucius, Zixia, his disciple, left the State of Lu and returned to his hometown of Wen County, which had become the territory of the State of Wei.

Wei Wenhou, the Marquis of Wei, who was in power at that time and was determined to recruit talented people from all over the world, after hearing about Zixia's reputation, not only visited him personally but also worshiped him as his teacher.

Later, at the invitation of his student Wei Wenhou Weisi, Zixia went to Xihe to give lectures. Scholars all over the world admired Zixia and flocked to him. From then on, the Xihe School of Wei gradually prospered.

At this time, Tian Zifang, Duan Qianmu, Wu Qi, Li Kui and other great talents from the Xihe School began to serve in the Wei State, helping the Wei State become the most powerful country in the world.

Not only did it cultivate a group of rare talents in the world, but Legalist figures such as Li Kui and Wu Qi who came out of the Xihe School also set off the first wave of political reforms in various countries.

It can be said that Zixia was not only a sage of Confucianism, but also one of the sources of Legalism.

At this moment, when he heard Gongsun Qi mention that he had studied under Zixia, Wei Zhi had a smile on his face. This was indeed something he was proud of.

"Mr. Zixia is a scholar of heaven and earth, but he doesn't take the word "study" seriously. I am just lucky enough to listen to his teachings several times."

"So Uncle Zong, have you ever heard of such a saying?" After the question was posed, Gongsun Qi's eyes immediately followed him, "Don't worry about scarcity but worry about inequality; don't worry about poverty but worry about insecurity."

"This sentence was said by Confucius and his disciple Ran You. I was indeed lucky enough to hear Mr. Zixia mention it."

After giving the habitual answer, Wei Zhi immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately looked at Gongsun Qi with his sharp eyes.

"Xiangguo, what do you mean?"

"Since Uncle Zong once heard Mr. Zixia say this, he should know the truth contained in this sentence."

"Comparing the Lu State of the past to the Wei State of today, Uncle Zong thinks that my original land did not implement the county system but only implemented it in Qindong. Wouldn't the people in Qindong be dissatisfied?"

Looking at Gongsun Qi in his field of vision who did not show any aggressiveness after speaking, but instead saluted him respectfully, Wei Zhi could not express all the anger in his heart at this moment.

"you……"

"snort!"

After a cold snort, Wei Zhi, with a gloomy expression on his face, replied in a deep voice: "Since the land of Qindong is newly attached, it should be governed strictly."

"If the Li people in the land east of Qin are dissatisfied, our Wei State still has tens of thousands of troops in the land west of Hexi, so we can calm down the trouble."

As soon as Wei Zhi said these words, all the Wei court officials present clearly felt a cold murderous intention.

Wei Zhi was preparing to push forward by force. If anyone was dissatisfied, he would send a large army to suppress it.

If it is carried out as he said, then the land of Qindong may suffer another military disaster after experiencing a war.

Although Wei's tens of thousands of troops stationed in Hexi were not only to deal with the Qin State west of Jingshui River, but also to prevent possible accidents in the land east of Qin;

However, Wei Zhi's words were full of murderous intent, and he clearly did not regard the Li Shu as a member of the Wei Kingdom.

Feeling the eyes of everyone around him looking at him, Wei Zhi, who had just been told by Gongsun Qi that he had nothing to say, had a smile on his face, and there was clearly a bit of confidence in his eyes as he looked forward.

.

However, his self-confidence did not last long, and another question from Gongsun Qi appeared in his ears, "I heard that Uncle Zong was stationed in Zhongshan with the title of Lord of Zhongshan on the orders of the late Lord Wenhou?"

"That's right." Thinking of how speechless Gongsun Qi had just been, the expression on Wei Zhi's face immediately turned to vigilance, "What do you want to say?"

"Then I wonder if Uncle Zong treated the Li Shu people in Zhongshan the same way he does today? Has the land in Zhongshan truly been integrated into the territory of our Wei State?"

As soon as Gongsun Qi asked these two questions, the surrounding Wei court officials looked at Wei Zhi with somewhat strange expressions.

If they remembered correctly, this former King of Zhongshan had been in charge of his hometown in Zhongshan for more than twenty years.

It was not until 380 BC, the 16th year after Wei Wuhou succeeded to the throne, that Zhongshan returned to Anyi, the capital of Wei, because of the restoration of Zhongshan.

Although there are many reasons why the Zhongshan State was able to recover, some of them include practical factors such as Wei State, which was competing with Zhao State and Chu State at that time, and was unable to take Zhongshan into account;

However, Wei Zhi, the king of Zhongshan, had been in charge of Zhongshan for more than 20 years, but he still could not make the people of Zhongshan surrender. The key point is very thought-provoking.

Gongsun Qi's words were clearly heart-wrenching words, and this made Wei Zhi's anger uncontrollable.

"Gongsun Qi, you are going too far!"

After pointing at Gongsun Qi's nose and saying this, Wei Zhi knew that he could not convince the other party. Wei Zhi simply turned his gaze to Wei Feng who was on the throne above.

"I report to you, Your Majesty, that Gongsun Qi made such rude remarks just after he became the Prime Minister, which will inevitably cause greater disasters in the future."

"I ask you to depose Gongsun Qi from the position of prime minister, so as not to plunge our country into turmoil."

As soon as Wei Zhi finished speaking, a storm broke out in the hall because of his words.

The prime minister of a country leads hundreds of officials to assist the king, which is closely related to the stability of a country.

In later countries such as Footbath, John and other countries, the frequent changes in the prime minister of a country led to chaos and turmoil in the country. This fully reflects the importance of the prime minister of a country.

Now Gongsun Qi had just become the Prime Minister of the Wei State, and Wei Zhi, who was the uncle and the uncle of the Marquis of Wei, actually made a request to remove the Prime Minister. How could this not shock the hearts of those present?

Feeling the somewhat chaotic situation in the hall, Wei Feng, as the Marquis of Wei, knew it was time for him to stand up and stabilize the situation.

"Uncle's words are serious."

"The Prime Minister just made a simple inquiry, but this rudeness is out of the question. Besides..."

While speaking, Wei Feng's eyes moved to Wei Zhi's face below, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"Besides, I don't dare to say the word Xiang so easily."

When Wei Feng's eyes fell on him, Wei Zhi seemed to feel a chill coming over him, as if some danger was about to come.

But when he met Wei Feng's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile, alarm bells went off in his heart, and his eyes subconsciously moved away.

"Your Majesty, I made a mistake."
