Chapter 217 The Marquis of Wei arrives in person(1/2)
Wei Guo, Anyi, outside the Qiuxian Hall.
As the sound of armor clashing suddenly stopped, two luxurious carriages slowly stopped on the bustling street outside the Qixian Hall.
Gently opening the curtain in front of him, he slowly stepped off the carriage and stood on the street. Looking at the building standing in front of him, Wei Feng, as the Marquis of Wei, had a satisfied smile on his face.
Although the temple in front of you does not look like much on the outside, what it symbolizes is the sincerity of Wei State in seeking talents from all over the world.
After weighing the weight of this merit-seeking hall in his mind, Wei Feng's eyes gently shifted and looked at Prime Minister Gongsun Qi who had already arrived beside him.
"Prime Minister, how about going with me to meet the most talented people in the world?"
"Since your Majesty has invited me, I should obey." After hearing the invitation from Wei Feng, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed and accepted the order.
After slowly standing up, the two looked at each other, but a smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
"Xiangguo, please!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
…
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has arrived..."
In the Hall of Seeking Talents, the atmosphere, which had become somewhat lively due to the words just spoken by Xu Yan, a scholar of Qi State, came to a standstill with a sudden loud roar.
After hearing the contents of the call clearly, some of the scholars' faces immediately showed expressions of excitement, while others had not yet reacted to this sentence.
But when they realized the meaning contained in this sentence, almost immediately, their eyes immediately looked in the direction of the door.
Under the attention of all the scholars present, Wei Marquis Wei Feng, wearing a red robe of a prince, slowly walked into the hall.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Slowly passing through the figures of the scholars around him and passing the cases beside him, Wei Feng finally stood firmly in the center of the hall.
When Wei Feng finally stopped in the sight of everyone, whoever stood up first raised his head, and all the scholars present stood up one after another.
"I will pay my respects to the Marquis of Wei."
"I will pay my respects to the Marquis of Wei."
"I will pay my respects to the Marquis of Wei."
…
Following the deafening calls of greetings that rang in his ears, his eyes swept over the people around him. After taking in all the scholars who came to Wei from all over the world, Wei Feng slowly raised his arms.
.
After making a gesture of support to everyone, Wei Feng's voice rang out in the hall.
"Everyone, get up quickly."
"Thank you, Marquis Wei."
After everyone around him stood up, Wei Feng looked around again, and at the same time, the expression on his face suddenly became serious.
"You are all talented people in the world. It is my great fortune that you can come to Anyi this time, and it is also my great fortune for Wei State."
"Everyone..."
The words paused here, and then a group of scholars in the hall saw a scene that shocked them.
"Please bow to me."
If the people present before had only learned about Wei's thirst for talents from a "Seeking Talents Order" and a talent-seeking hall.
At this moment, Wei Feng's extremely solemn bow made these scholars from all over the world better understand the love of talents of the current Wei Hou.
Originally, the reason why these scholars came to the Kingdom of Wei was because after seeing the "Ling for Seeking Talents", they came up with the idea of coming to the Kingdom of Wei to display their talents.
After seeing Wei Feng bowing so solemnly today, most of them became more determined about the idea in their hearts.
Today's Marquis of Wei does have the same style as that of Marquis Wen of Wei in the past.
Under the respectful gazes of the scholars from various countries below, Wei Feng slowly straightened his body and once again glanced at the people around him.
"At the beginning of my succession to the throne, my country, Wei, was in a state of turmoil."
"With the young master Wei Xu vying for the throne inside, and the countries outside looking at him with eager eyes, at this moment, I just feel that it is difficult to move forward."
"Thanks to the help of civil servants and generals in the country, including Gongshu Cuo, Gongsun Qi, Wang Cuo and other great talents, our country of Wei was able to survive the crisis."
"Over the past few years, it is precisely with the assistance of these talented people that the humble Wei State has been able to defeat powerful enemies in succession, and now has a momentum that is so powerful that no princes from all over the world dare to offend lightly."
Wei Feng looked back at his words over the past five years. Although there were no gorgeous words in his words, they contained a bit of the majesty of a superior person.
Quietly watching the figure who was speaking impassionedly in the center at this moment, especially the demeanor of the world's overlord, many of the scholars present were impressed by this.
Just as the atmosphere in the hall gradually reached a climax due to Wei Feng's words, his tone dropped in an instant.
"Although the critical situation in Wei State has been alleviated to some extent, I don't dare to slack off for a day, and I never want to make Wei State stronger."
"The Prime Minister told me that if we want to make Wei State stronger, we must have enough talents, so I issued the "Order to Seek Talent" to the world."
"What I look forward to is that talented people like you can come to our country of Wei one after another to assist me in creating great achievements."
"Wei may not be very powerful, but as long as you have talents, there will definitely be a place for you to display them."
At the end of his words, countless rays of light suddenly appeared in Wei Feng's eyes, and his voice became a few degrees louder.
"When I succeeded to the throne, I made a promise to the ministers in the court. As long as I help you with all my heart, I will never be stingy with money, title or even land."
"What I want to say today is that this promise means to you..."
"Just as effective."
After Wei Feng finished speaking, some scholars present were so excited that they stood up from their seats.
This promise from the Marquis of Wei has already made them excited, and they look forward to relying on their talents to obtain their own generous rewards in the future.
"Wei Marquis Lixian's corporal spirit is really admirable in my heart."
"I am confident that I have a strategy, and I am willing to help the Marquis of Wei create some great achievements."
"We are willing to serve the Marquis of Wei."
…
Just after Wei Feng's words fell, the entire Qixian Hall immediately began to boil like a pot of water that was constantly being heated.
Looking at the excited expressions around him and listening to the words ringing in his ears, Wei Feng also had a look of satisfaction on his face.
If he could really recruit all the wise men in the world, why would his Wei State not be strong, and how could he not be able to fulfill his great wish to live a new life?
Wei Feng is willing to imitate his ancestors and resume the legacy of King Wen.
Just as Wei Feng looked with satisfaction at the group of excited scholars from all over the world below, a voice that was somewhat inconsistent with the surrounding atmosphere appeared in his ears.
"I have something that I don't understand. I wonder if Marquis Wei can answer it for me?"
This sudden sound made the face of Wei Marquis Wei Feng look a little stunned, and also caused the passionate sounds around him to gradually quiet down.
Looking at the figure below in the direction of the sound, the first thing that caught Wei Feng's eyes was that extremely handsome face.
In Wei Feng's impression, when it comes to appearance and body posture, Xiangguo Gongsun Qi, who lives up to his name, is definitely one of the best.
Not only that, perhaps because he has been in a high position for many years, in addition to his original elegant temperament, Gongsun Qi also has a bit of majesty from a powerful position, which adds a lot to his image.
But the scholar who suddenly appeared in front of him was comparable in appearance to Gongsun Qi.
Looking at that handsome face, Wei Feng's face immediately showed a smile, "I don't know what you want to ask, sir, but please feel free to tell me. If I know about it, I should tell you everything I know."
"Xu Yan, a scholar from Linzi of the State of Qi, paid homage to the Marquis of Wei."
After bowing and announcing his name, Xu Yan faced Wei Feng and gently revealed the confusion in his heart.
"What the Marquis of Wei was looking for just now was a great talent who could assist the Marquis of Wei in establishing some great achievements. I know that I have limited talent and knowledge, but I am unable to assist the Marquis of Wei in accomplishing such great achievements."
"But I am still moved by the sincerity of the Marquis of Wei in seeking talents. I want to serve in the Wei State to help the Marquis of Wei. I wonder if the Wei State is willing to accept me?"
After Xu Yan finished speaking, some of the scholars present felt some resonance in their hearts.
Wei Feng's words just now indeed made them excited, but when they calmed down from their previous excitement and began to carefully estimate their talents, they would inevitably have some doubts in their hearts.
.
The reward promised by the Marquis of Wei is indeed very generous, but if he is rejected by the Wei State due to lack of talent, wouldn't the hard-fought journey to Anyi be in vain?
Taking in the somewhat changed expressions of the scholars around him, Wei Feng understood the worries in these people's hearts after thinking for a moment.
Wei Feng's original intention in issuing the "Order to Seek Talents" was indeed to recruit a group of talents with outstanding talents from all over the world, but this did not mean that he had to give up those scholars with less talents.
What's more, Wei Feng knew very well that the scholars who could talk freely in this Qixian Hall today were already the top people of this era.
As his thoughts flowed, Wei Feng immediately looked at Xu Yan who asked the question with a smile. Suddenly, an anecdote he heard in his previous life appeared in his mind.
"Just now, you said that you are from Linzi. I wonder if you live in the north of Linzi?"
"I do live in the north of the city, but..." Facing Wei Feng's sudden question, Xu Yan's face immediately showed some doubts, "But why did Marquis Wei ask this?"
"Curious, just curious."
Although he spoke out of curiosity, Wei Feng had some vague speculations in his heart. Perhaps the person in front of him was Duke Xu from the north of the city, who was once compared with Qi Prime Minister Zou Ji in his previous life.
