Most of the important officials were princes and their family business was quite large. These people gave their family craftsmen to the crown prince, but Huang Xie pretended not to hear them. He was a prince of illegitimate origin. He was not favored by King Huai of Chu when he was young. When he was young, Xiong Heng was the king of Chu. He was sent from afar to Qin to accompany the crown prince Xiong Yuan as a charity, and he almost died in Qin. The nobles' false feelings and pretended to be hypocritical, and he had long been disgusted. He only hoped that Xiong Jing would not be contaminated with their pedantic aura. If he became a King Huai again, then the Chu State would be completely finished.

"Teacher, the student heard that General Lian Po was at the teacher's mansion." After discussing the main affairs, the Yan Dynasty dispersed. Xiong Jing took this opportunity to give Huang Xie a disciple ceremony, and then asked about Lian Po.

"Zi Jing wants to see General Lian Po?" Huang Xie was already the prince's guard. Unexpectedly, this disciple asked him for advice for Lian Po for the first time. "Aren't Zi Jing worried that King Zhao was unhappy?"

Lian Po left Zhao State just because he disobeyed the king's order. King Zhao disliked him very much. Later, he wanted to use Lian Po, and the envoy sent to Wei State said that Lian Po had three arrows for one meal, so he finally didn't use it. Xiong Jing was the brother of King Zhao, and King Zhao did not use Lian Po. Could it be that he wanted to use Lian Po?

"Just seeking fame." Xiong Jing felt that Huang Xie was an octopus monster, and tentacles could reach into a person's heart.

"General Lian Po wanted to return to Zhao, but King Zhao regarded Pang Nuan, a disciple of the crown prince, as his general..." Huang Xie said again, not knowing whether he was considering Xiong Jing or not want Xiong Jing to see Lian Po.

"Teacher, Zijing has been looking for General Lian Po for a long time, and I just hope to meet him and ask for some knowledge." Seeing Huang Xie pull out his nominal senior brother Pang Nuan, Xiong Jing was not discouraged, just wanted to ask for a meeting.

"So..." The King of Chu had retreated into the east room at this time, and only himself and the prince were left in the atrium. Huang Xie thought about it for a while and finally said, "Since Zi Jing wants to see him, then just meet him. But General Lian has a bad temper and is old, so he wants Zi Jing to visit him in person."

"No." Xiong Jing hurriedly bowed and expressed his willingness to visit him in person.

"Also, the eldest son Fu Xunqing is about to set off from Lanling to Ying, hoping that Zi Jing will greet him with the etiquette of his disciples." Huang Xie said again.

"No." Three princes and three princes, only Xunzi was in Lanling and had not yet entered Ying. He welcomed him with the etiquette of his disciples. Huang Xie clearly wanted Xiong Jing to give Xunzi a lot of face. There were so many masters, and it didn't matter if Xiong Jing held the etiquette of his disciples.

"Teacher, it was unexpected that King Chu appointed Xiong Jing as his eldest son. Now the King of Chu asked the teacher to be his eldest son, so he asked the new king not to be influenced by Taoist techniques." Zhang Cang, a disciple who rushed from Shouying to Lanling, introduced the whole story.

"Taoist art?" Xunqiu was old, his beard and hair were all white, and his eyes were almost closed when he spoke. He was just a Confucian scholar, no longer as young as Zhuang Guanzi, who was once a general of Zhao Chu.

"Yes. The eldest son, Fu Yousan, is one for Doctor Song Yu and Song who wrote the goddess poem in the past, and two for..." Zhang Cangyu stopped and saw that the teacher's eyes had opened, then continued: "The second is Zhao General Pang Nuan's teacher, the Guanzi."

"Pang Nuan's army..." Pang Nuan and Xunzi knew that more than ten years ago, he had discussed soldiers with Pang Nuan in front of King Xiaocheng of Zhao. That military campaign made him know that Pang Nuan was a man who was eager for quick success and instant benefits. If he regarded such a person as a general, he would only have small victory but not great victory.

Sure enough, four years ago, the five countries jointly attacked Qin, and the countries took Pang Nuan as their commander. In the previous few attacks, they attacked Qin directly. This time, Pang Nuan sent Xiao Congming to detour Puyang (now southwest of Yongji, Shanxi), and then crossed the Yellow River to attack Xianyang. But the Hezong army did not take down Lu (now northeast of Lintong, Shaanxi, 80 miles away from Xianyang). Later, they encountered the Qin army and left without fighting.

The reason why Hangu Pass is important is that it curbs the water and land passage from east to west, where large troops can take a detour, and heavy trucks, food and grass can also take a detour. Although the war is a six-step and seven-step battle, the battle between the sword and the halberd is actually a contest of the monarch's ability to govern. If the countries do not cultivate benevolent government and attack Qin, do you really think that if there are too many people, you can accomplish something?

Xunzi was silent for a long time and said, "Is it okay to let the King of Chu not use Feng Guanzi as his eldest son's tutor?"

"Teacher," Zhang Cang did not dare to say that Xunzi's eldest son Fu was Huang Xierang, and said: "Before Prince Jing established his eldest son, he had already appointed Feng Guanzi as his teacher. If you want the King of Chu..."

After being silent for a long time, Xunqiu said: "When Confucius traveled around the countries, all the kings admired his name. At that time, the King of Chu wanted to grant Confucius a seven hundred miles of bookstore, but he was finally afraid of the nobles. I entered Chu three times but did not get the great use of the King of Chu, which was the nobles who blocked him. Now that the King of Chu has made Xiong Jing the eldest son, how about the King of Yin Chunshen?"

"Teacher, Chunshen Jun is still the Chief Minister of Chu." Zhang Cang explained, "King of Chu, Xiong Jing, the eldest son, once vowed to Chunshen Jun. Even if the eldest son became king in the future, he would still order Chunshen Jun to be the Chief Minister of Chu before he was awarded the title."

"Oh—" Xunzi stretched his tone and according to the usual practice, the King of Chu was crowned at the age of 20. Although he was two years less than the King of Qin, he was fourteen or five years old. "What kind of person is the eldest son Xiong Jing?" he asked again.

"Big son Xiong Jing..." There are so many statements about Xiong Jing in Yingdu. Some people say that he was a saint king, and some people say that he could subdue dragons and tigers. After thinking for a while, Zhang Cang said: "Big son Xiong Jing, Yingdu has many ghosts and gods. He also said that he is good at making wooden boats, building cars, and making crossbows. He knows the scenery of various continents overseas, and even more so, he says that he can be born to know it."

"Born to know?" Xunzi can understand all the things of ghosts and gods, the things done by craftsmen, and overseas things, but they can be born to know... Isn't this what Confucius said? "How can Xiong Jing be born to know?"

"Xiong Jing said that the day when King Xiong Jing said that the crown was the time when Changxin Hou Lao Ai rebelled." Zhang Cang came from Yingdu, so he naturally heard some news, but until he left Yingdu, there was no news of Changxin Hou rebellion in Qin State.

"This is just a trick of the turtle Guanzi." A child who was a few years old must have taught him behind his words. Doctor Song Yu and Song had their own character, so the one who was turtle must be the turtle Guanzi.

"Teacher, the King of Chu first used Feng Guanzi as the teacher of Prince Jing and asked the teacher to be the eldest son's tutor. This is disrespectful. Although the help of the emperor Chunshen, the eldest son would have been appointed Feng Guanzi as his teacher early, and he would have thought of it first and be confused by him. If the teacher went there, he might not be happy with the eldest son."

When he left Yingdu, Huang Xie entrusted him with all kinds of entrusting him, but Zhang Cang still didn't want his teacher to catch this muddy water, but Xunzi had his own considerations. "Zi Cang is wrong. Taoist techniques are all small tricks of Gu, like Pang Nuan. The eldest son is still young, so it is common sense to be confused by him. How can I compare to Taoist techniques in Confucianism?"
