He does not mean that.

Wei Hou Wei Feng, who said the words just now, had no other thoughts, but Sima Gongsun Qi was somewhat touched when he heard the name of Xihe School.

After Confucius passed away, his disciple, the great Confucian scholar Xia, was invited by Wei Wenhou, who was in power at the time, to give lectures in Xihe, Wei State. This was the beginning of the Xihe School, which became famous all over the world.

Later, because of the great reputation of the great Confucian Xia, Zigong's disciple Tian Zifang, the great sage Duan Qianmu of Wei and other great talents followed his footsteps and came to Xihe.

At this point, the Xihe School became more and more prosperous and gradually became a cultural center with extensive radiation.

The Xihe School not only gave birth to such political talents as Li Kui and Wu Qi, but also produced great Confucian scholars such as Gong Yanggao and Gu Liangchi. It also produced a series of talents in Wei who were able to govern the local area.

It can be said that a large part of Wei's hegemony during the Wei Wenhou period was based on the powerful cultural center of the Xihe School.

However, the glory of the Xihe School did not last. With the death of Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou's accession to the throne, the situation in the Wei court changed greatly.

Unlike his father, Marquis Wei Wen, who liked to appoint talented people from civilian backgrounds, Marquis Wu of Wei preferred to appoint people from aristocratic backgrounds to govern the country.

Seeing that the Wei court was gradually controlled by aristocratic forces and that they were unable to display their full talents, these talents who had once been interested in serving the Wei Kingdom finally chose to leave.

It was at this time that Qi Gong Tian Wu, who had been repeatedly defeated by the three Jin Dynasties, realized the importance of talents, so he established a school in Linzi, the capital, which was famous for later generations. This was Jixia Academy.

The increasingly serious nepotism in the Wei court, coupled with Jixia Academy's attraction to talents, eventually led to the gradual decline of the Xihe School.

With the shift of the cultural center from Wei to Qi, the decline of Wei's hegemony is not unimaginable.

Wei Feng, who had personally experienced all this in his previous life, was naturally very clear about the reality of the Xihe School's decline and what consequences it would bring.

Now when he heard Gongsun Qi asking whether he intended to revive the Xihe School, Wei Feng naturally did not have much hesitation in his heart.

To maintain Wei's current position in the world, it relies not only on strong force, but also on prosperous culture.

"To be honest with the Prime Minister, I do intend to revive the Xihe School." Wei Feng gently brought his thoughts back to reality, and said in a deep voice to Gongsun Qi in front of him: "It's just that now is not the time."

Wei Feng's words suddenly stunned Gongsun Qi. After thinking for a moment, a clear look appeared in his eyes.

Wei Feng was right. Now is indeed not a good time to revive the Xihe School, at least not in the next few years.

The formation and development of a cultural center must have a peaceful external environment as a prerequisite.

Decades ago, the Xihe School was able to develop so prosperously, which was inseparable from the fact that the Wei State had the absolute upper hand in the war with the Qin State to compete for Hexi.

It's just this moment and that moment.

In the past, the Qin State was limited by internal power struggles, and its power was declining day by day, and it was retreating steadily in the confrontation with the Wei State;

Today, the Qin State has gone through nearly twenty years of internal reforms, and its national power has gradually grown stronger, and it is no longer reconciled to Wei's control of Hexi.

Facing the pressing pressure of Qin in the west, Wei's top priority is how to defeat Qin and secure Hexi, the bridgehead for attacking Guanzhong.

As for the matter of reviving the Xihe School, it must at least wait until Wei won the victory in the Hexi War not long after.

"Sima, let's put aside the matter of reviving the Hexi School for the time being." Wei Feng slowly stood up from his seat and looked at Gongsun Qi in front of him with a more relaxed look, "At this moment, let's go with the others to meet the man just now.

How are you two talented people?"

Facing Wei Feng's invitation, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed and said, "I firmly believe in my wish and dare not say goodbye."

The next moment, the two eyes connected, and a smile appeared on the corners of Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi's mouths.

…

On the other side of the debate about the Battle of the Royal City in the wine shop, Bai Gui and Shen Buhu, who had just attracted attention, had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the invitation of Bai Gui, the owner of the wine shop, the two people who hit it off and admired each other came to a very secluded room.

After filling up the glass of wine in front of him, Bai Gui raised the full glass of wine and saluted Shen Buhai in front of him, "Sir, please."

"Please." Faced with Bai Gui's toast, Shen Buyu immediately raised the wine cup with some solemnity.

After the two of them drank the fine wine in one gulp, Bai Gui looked at Shen Buhai in front of him and asked with some curiosity: "What you said just now, I really admire your talent. I don't know."

Sir, has he ever served in an official position?"

Shen Buyou had just placed the wine cup on the tables in front of him. When he heard Bai Gui's question, his face suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed look.

He slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Gui, who was not far across the way, and heard Shen Buyu say in a deep voice: "To be honest with you, Mr. Bai Gui, I already served the State of Zheng as a minor official a few years ago."

"Afterwards, the Kingdom of Zheng was destroyed by South Korea, so it was natural for me to serve South Korea, but I didn't want to remain in obscurity like this."

"I heard that the current Wei Hou is wise and wise, and he can ignore past grudges and appoint talented people, which is quite similar to the style of Wen Hou in those days. Therefore, I resigned from the small official and came to the capital of Wei to relax, firstly to increase my knowledge, and secondly, to seek wealth.

A high position."

As he spoke, Shen Buyu filled up the wine glass in front of him and paid respect to Bai Gui in front of him, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Bai Gui today. It really makes me happy."

"I would like to honor you sir with this honor, please."

As for Shen Bushe's purpose of coming to Anyi this time to seek an official position, Bai Gui's expression did not change at all, nor did he feel the slightest grudge in his heart.

Today's era is the era of princes, and even more so, the era of scholars.

In this era, it is extremely common for someone to choose to leave and go to another country instead of being reused in their home country.

Wu Qi, Le Yang, Gongsun Yang, Zhang Yi, Su Qin...

These are all outstanding scholars, but they did not choose to serve their home country, but used their talents to make their country strong.

Whether it is the rise and fall of a country or the changes in the world, it is always closely related to the appearance of these scholars.

"When you are angry, the princes will be afraid; if you live in peace, the world will be peaceful."

This is the best portrayal of this scholar in this era.

"Please." After responding, Bai Gui drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.

After another glass of wine was poured into their stomachs, Bai Gui and Shen Buyu looked at each other, and a burst of hearty laughter appeared in the room.

"Hahaha……"

When the laughter subsided, the door was gently pushed open, and two figures, one behind the other, appeared in front of the two of them.
