Chapter 51: Fan Ju's Speech (Part 1)
In the hotel, Cai Ze's arrogant words that he wanted to replace the Qin prime minister Fan Ju quickly spread throughout Xianyang City.
Who is the prime minister of Qin Fan Ju? Is it easy to replace?
Not to mention Fan Ju's old enemy, Wei Qi, former Wei prime minister of Wei State, just think about Queen Mother Xuan Mi Bazi, and then think about Rang Marquis Wei Ran and other noble honors. By the way, there is also the war god Bai Qi.
None of these people who are right to Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju can end up well!
A bloody story is right in front of you!
Therefore, many people in Xianyang City knew the name of Cai Ze, who came from somewhere.
Most people in Xianyang City think that this guy named Cai Ze will definitely not live for a few days.
The post officer who wanted to drive Cai Ze away in the hotel also thought so.
He has now regarded Cai Ze, a very ugly guy, as a lunatic and a dead person.
He didn't drive him away, but just waited for this guy to be taken away by Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju and died in a desperate situation.
Cai Ze himself felt good. Seeing that no one drove him away, he was very happy to stay in the concierge hotel.
Such a thing was soon reported to King Yingji of Qin by the Black Ice Platform.
After Yingji heard about this, he asked someone to find Cai Ze's book and read it carefully.
To be honest, if Cai Ze had not threatened to replace Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju, the big talk that would have been passed into the ears of Qin King Yingji. Cai Ze wrote a letter to Qin King Yingji, hoping that Qin King Yingji would see it, and wait for eight lifetimes!
After reading Cai Ze's letter, Ying Ji found that Cai Ze was really talented and said very well and incisively about many things in the Qin State and even various countries.
I couldn't help but praise Cai Ze for the nearby servants next to me:
"...First insights are truly talented people, and they will be famous people in the world!"
The words of King Yingji of Qin praised the famous scholar Cai Ze, soon were known by people in the Qin court.
After Wang Ji, the governor of Hedong County, learned about this, he was very anxious!
Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju is his "backstage" in the court, his own support, and his own "boss"!
Cai Ze wanted to replace his eldest prime minister, and he had already been appreciated by King Yingji of Qin, which is amazing!
We must find a way to solve this matter, and we must be as soon as possible. We must not let Cai Ze meet King Ying Ji in the face of Qin.
Wang Ji immediately ran to Fan Ju's prime minister's mansion and said to Fan Ju:
"The Prime Minister, you originally appointed Cai Ze, the envoy to Yan State. Some time ago, you spoke wildly in the inn, saying that you would replace the position of Prime Minister. You even wrote a letter to the King recently to demonstrate the good strategies for governing the country."
"It is reported that the king was very happy to read his letter. It seems that the king wanted to summon Cai Ze in the near future. Prime Minister! Cai Ze is a famous scholar in the world and is now determined to be the prime minister. This person is very sinister! Prime Minister must be guarded."
After hearing Wang Ji's words, Fan Ju didn't say anything for a long time.
After thinking for a while, he said to Wang Ji: "Wang Ji, what do you want me to do with Cai Ze?"
Wang Ji immediately bowed to Fan Ju and said, "Prime Minister, for the current plan, you should start the best move first, then the best strategy."
Speaking of this, Wang Ji gestured with both hands to behead his head.
Seeing this, Fan Ju laughed and said to Wang Ji: "Wang Ji, since Cai Ze wants to be the position of Qin Prime Minister, then the real prime minister must see if he has the ability? You go to the guesthouse and invite Mr. Cai Ze to come to the prime minister's house for a banquet."
Wang Ji thought Fan Ju was going to deal with Cai Ze, so he was very happy and bowed and said, "Okay."
The post officer in the hotel knew that Cai Ze was going to the prime minister's mansion.
When Cai Ze was about to go out, he looked at Cai Ze with a sympathetic expression.
I felt sad about this ugly guy who had been staying in the concierge hotel for a long time and said to Cai Ze quietly:
"Sir, when you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you must be careful! But don't say you want to be Prime Minister Qin in front of Fan."
Cai Ze looked at the expression of the post officer who was about to drive him out of the museum, and naturally knew what the post officer was thinking.
He laughed and said to the post office official: "It's okay. Cai Ze thanked the post office official here."
Cai Ze walked into the living room of Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju, and bowed to Fan Ju who was sitting in the main seat and said, "Cai Ze met with Prime Minister."
Seeing that Cai Ze was so arrogant, Fan Ju scolded Cai Ze and said, "Mr. Cai Ze, since you threatened to replace me as the Prime Minister of Qin, you are so arrogant now when you meet the true face. Is this a manifestation of your desire to become the prime minister of a country?"
Cai Ze looked at Fan Ju and replied, "That's right."
Fan Ju was very angry and said to Cai Ze: "Then let me be the true person and listen to your reasons, Mr. Cai Ze."
Cai Ze sighed and said to Fan Ju: "Fan Xiang, why are you so slow to understand the problem! The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter change in the year. After each completes its mission, it will automatically retreat. All parts of the human body are very strong, with flexible hands and feet, ears can be heard clearly, eyes can see clearly, and mind is smart. Isn't this the wish of a scholar?"
Fan Ju felt that Cai Ze was right, so he said to Cai Zedao: "That's right."
Cai Ze said to Fan Ju again:
"Fan Xiang, based on benevolence, uphold justice, promote the right path, and express kindness. He is willing to realize his ambitions in the world. People all over the world support and love and respect him, and all hope to make him a monarch. Isn't this what a wise and wise man expect?"
Fan Ju thought about it and said to Cai Ze: "That's right."
Cai Ze laughed and continued to Fan Ju:
"Fan Xiang, I think that if a person wants to be rich and glorious, then all the things he manages must be able to get their own place; if a person lives for a long time and spends his life safely, he will not die in the middle. Then the world will inherit his traditions, stick to his career, and pass on it forever."
"A prime minister, only a person's reputation is perfect and perfect, and his grace is far away from thousands of miles away. In this way, generations will praise him, and he will be as long as the heaven and earth, and will never be extinct. The effect of the right way and the widespread grace of this person is the auspicious and good deeds mentioned by the saint. If you say so below, do you agree with it?"
Fan Ju nodded and said to Cai Ze: "That's right."
Cai Ze has already said this very clearly, and he is to persuade Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju: There is a rule in the alternation of four seasons, so that after a person completes his mission, he should also retire successfully.
Fan Ju naturally understood the meaning of Cai Ze above, but based on these remarks alone, it was far from enough to let Fan Ju give up the position of Prime Minister of Qin to him. After all, this is the position of Prime Minister of Qin, which is known as the world's most powerful country, and it has a great relationship.
Fan Ju continued to test Cai Ze without Cai Ze’s knowledge.
Seeing that the Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju did not refute his words, Cai Ze asked Fan Ju back:
"Prime Minister, Cai Ze here to ask the Prime Minister. Do you think the tragic ending of the four of them is enviable?"
When Fan Ju saw Cai Ze talking about the above four people, he knew what Cai Ze was going to say next.
"Shang Yang's reform" made Qin become stronger and his kindness has been achieved today. However, Shang Yang's ending was that he was broken into pieces by the nobles of Qin and died;
"Wu Qi's reform" made the Chu State dominate the world, but Wu Qi's ending was that he was shot and killed by the Chu nobles and split into a car;
Wen Zhong, a doctor from Yue State, assisted King Goujian of Yue and defeated the Wu State. However, the ending was that he was sentenced to death by King Goujian of Yue.
Wu'an Jun Bai Qi, needless to say, what Fan Ju experienced personally!
These four people were killed after they succeeded and did not know how to retreat.
Fan Ju already knew Cai Ze's talent, so he tried again:
"Mr. Cai Ze, a gentleman dies with righteousness and regards death as if he is home; it is better to be honored by death than to be humiliated by birth. A scholar has the ability to become famous. Although righteousness lies in it, he has no hatred even if he dies. If others can do this, why can't I, Fan Ju, be like this?"
Cai Ze laughed and said to Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju:
"A prime minister, wise monarch, virtuous minister, virtuous minister, this is a great blessing for the world; a wise monarch and upright ministers are a blessing for the country; a father is kind, a son is filial, a husband is honest, and a wife is loyal, this is a blessing for the family."
"In the past, Bigan was loyal but could not keep the Yin Dynasty, Zixu was resourceful but could not keep the Wu Kingdom; Shen Sheng was filial but caused great chaos in Jin Kingdom. Why? It was because there was no wise monarch and wise man, come to listen to their voices!"
"But Weizi escaped and his whole body was finally called a "benevolent person" by the world; Confucius left Lu and was finally called a "saint" by the world; when Guan Zhong was a soldier, he escaped at the battle and was finally respected by the world as a "great man" by the world; Fan Li left King Yue and retired, and was rich and honored for life."
"As the saying goes, "If you succeed, you cannot live long." Therefore, Cai Ze believes that there are three levels of success whether a real man succeeds: those who have both good and good reputation are the best; those who have passed on their reputation and died are the second; those who have a reputation and are humiliated and have a complete body are the lowest."
"Are the prime minister trying to learn from Shang Yang, Wu Qi, Wen Zhong, Bai Qi? Or are the four men of Wei Zi, Confucius, Guan Zhong and Fan Li? Why don't the prime minister return to the prime minister's seal at this time and give the wise men the title, and give it to him to the fullest and retire after success!"
After hearing Cai Ze's words, Fan Ju burst into laughter.
I already know that with Cai Ze's talent, he was the prime minister of Qin, and there was no problem.
Chapter completed!
