Sitting in the carriage, the envoy of Chu was visiting the scenery of Wei.

This is not the first time that the envoys came to Wei State. These envoys were not sent at will. Especially in Chu State, Chunshen Jun spent several years to cultivate a group of smart envoys, which were cultivated according to the seven countries. For example, the person who is now on the mission to Wei State was originally a member of Wei State. He knew the customs and customs of Wei State and could speak fluent Daliang dialect. Huang Xie specially sent someone to tell him about the situation of Wei State's ministers, their personalities, and their characteristics.

He also personally taught him how to better display his eloquence. After all, Chunshen Jun is indeed the most outstanding in eloquence. He persuaded Qin to withdraw his troops, and persuaded Qin King and Fan Ju to return to Chu safely. In the following years, he also relied on his extraordinary eloquence to help Chu gain more benefits in diplomatic negotiations. Therefore, he attached great importance to these envoys and was willing to spend time cultivating them.

The envoy called Zhai Liao, and his origin was not low. However, he had been away from Wei for a long time. At this moment, he returned to Wei again and looked at everything familiar, and felt mixed feelings. The envoys went to other countries not just to convey the meaning of the monarch, but also had other missions, such as observing the situation of other countries, recording the terrain, and even recruiting talents from other countries. At this moment, Zhai Liao's mission also included these.

It was not surprising that the people of the Wei people were always the most diligent, but when he saw the same busy officials, he became a little uneasy. When did the officials of Wei become so diligent? He looked curiously at these officials who were running back and forth, some of them rode horses and some were sitting in carriages, and they looked very anxious.

Could it be that something big happened to Wei State?

Zhai Liao deliberately stopped them and asked, but these officials came and went in a hurry, and seemed unintentional to entertain the distinguished guest. Zhai Liao was a little helpless, but fortunately he finally met a calm young man. He hurriedly stopped the young man. The young man was not angry, and hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him. Zhai Liao exchanged a few words of greetings with him, and then asked: "I saw officials running back and forth on the road. What happened in Wei?"

The young man looked at him in surprise and asked, "Looking at your clothes, how could you not know about this?"

Zhai Liao hurriedly explained: "I am studying abroad and haven't returned to China for a long time."

The young man suddenly realized and then said, "The Lord regards Pingyuan as prime minister. Pingyuan said: We should reward wise officials. But everyone did not take his words seriously at the beginning. After a few months, Pingyuan Jun suddenly summoned some local county officials, county officials, and township officials to personally hold a banquet to entertain them, use precious jade as their rewards, and read out their political achievements in public."

"Then, the wise officials in the county were recommended to Shangjun by Pingyuanjun and stayed in Daliang. The wise officials in the county were promoted to the county, and the officials in the village were promoted to the county. Only then did the officials realize that Pingyuanjun would do what they said, so they were eager to make political achievements so that they could become Pingyuanjun's guests." Speaking of these, the young man's eyes were full of admiration. He shook his head and said, "When Pingyuanjun just arrived, many people in the country were still dissatisfied with him."

"But before a few months have passed, he has let the officials willingly support him. He has rewarded the people who cultivate more, give birth, and have more textiles everywhere. Even the people of Wei are now busy and busy, and there are no lazy people in the countryside. I have heard that wise people can bring huge changes through very small things. Now it seems that Pingyuan Jun is such a wise person."

Zhai Liao listened to his praise and responded with a smile. The two said goodbye. Zhai Liao continued to rush forward. Sitting in the carriage, he frowned, and was full of curiosity about the newly appointed prime minister of Wei. Before coming, Chunshen Jun had told him that Pingyuan Jun was unfathomable and was the person he should worry most in Wei. He even told himself what he might ask and how to answer him.

With this uneasy heart, Zhai Liao finally received the summons from the King of Wei.

Before he arrived, the King of Wei was complaining to Longyang Jun. He looked at the empty palace. His palace was the most luxurious in the Sanjin Palace, but now, the treasures he owned were all given to the officials of the Wei State by Pingyuan Jun. Even his sword and the bamboo slips he collected were not spared. Faced with Pingyuan Jun's request, the King of Wei could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.

Therefore, when Long Yang Jun came to accompany him, the King of Wei finally said aggrievedly: "I originally wanted to give you a few gifts, but my palace was hollowed out by Pingyuan Jun and nothing was left. Even my sword was given to a county lieutenant who led the people to kill the bandits... You said before that as long as I trust Pingyuan Jun, the State of Wei can become rich, but now the State of Wei is not rich, and I am no longer rich..."

Long Yang Jun snuggled in his arms. Seeing the aggrieved appearance of King Wei, he couldn't help but chuckled. His smile was so beautiful that King Wei couldn't help but be stunned. Then Long Yang Jun said to him: "Shangjun, Pingyuan Jun rewarded these officials, and the officials who received the reward are grateful to you and are ready to serve you better. The officials who have not received the reward will no longer live without doing anything in order to get your reward."

"You used to have many treasures, but now you have received the enthusiastic support of the people and the sincere followers of the officials. Isn't this a bigger treasure? In my opinion, you have become richer... It has always been your wish to make the Wei Kingdom strong. Are your treasures not as good as your ambition?" After hearing Long Yangjun's questioning, King Wei gritted his teeth, frowned, and said helplessly: "You are right... But what should I do if Mr. Pingyuan comes again?"

Long Yangjun covered his mouth and laughed secretly, saying, "You can tell Pingyuanjun that you have no treasures anymore."

The King of Wei said painfully: "I have told him this sentence many times. At the beginning, he knew to restrain himself, but now, he just took it away if he likes something... I feel heartbroken... Forget it, forget it, I will take it away next time I come again and I will take it away and show it to him. I am already penniless, so I will just take away my clothes."

While they were chatting, they heard the news of the arrival of the Chu envoy. Long Yangjun hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll invite Pingyuanjun to come and ask you to meet the envoy. However, don't agree to him in anything. Just keep praising Pingyuanjun." The King of Wei was stunned, nodded, and then sent Long Yangjun away, and met the envoy from Chu in the main hall. The King of Wei was surprised to find that the envoy from Chu could speak fluent Wei language.

When the King of Wei asked about his origin, he realized that he was from Wei. The King of Wei laughed and became closer to him.

"Your Majesty, I am here to pay homage to you with the king's order."

"Okay, do you know? Pingyuan Jun is currently serving as the Prime Minister of Wei!"

"Well...I know that Chu and Wei have always been close countries. At present, the countries are fighting and conquering and conquering..."

"You are right. Pingyuan Jun told me this way. After Pingyuan Jun came to Wei, he told me a lot of things..."

The two were chatting, Pingyuan Jun, Longyang Jun, and an old man slowly arrived here. The King of Wei hurriedly stood up, kindly helped Pingyuan Jun up, and let him sit beside him, while the old man stood behind Pingyuan Jun. Longyang Jun also sat not far away, and the envoy paid homage to them. The King of Wei sat in the upper position, looked at Pingyuan Jun, and said, "Chu State sends an envoy, please come and receive him."

Pingyuan Jun nodded and then looked at Zhai Liao in front of him.

Zhai Liao looked at Pingyuan Jun and asked seriously: "The seven countries conquered and countless people died and injured. I wonder how you view this matter?" Pingyuan Jun coughed and said to him helplessly: "Not long ago, I was sick and had not recovered yet. I can't say too much. Let me ask my master to discuss this matter with you." The messenger looked at the old man behind him in surprise.

The old man walked out with a smile and was about to bow to Zhai Liao. Zhai Liao hurriedly got up and did not dare to accept the old man's greeting. The King of Wei looked at Pingyuan Jun with some concern and wanted to say something, but Long Yang Jun shook at him. The King of Wei immediately understood and stopped talking. Zhai Liao then asked the old man again. The old man sighed and said, "Every time I think of what you said, I feel so painful."

Zhai Liao Yixi said hurriedly: "The king is also worried about this matter, so he wants to form an alliance with the six countries, stop the war, and prevent the people from continuing to suffer such disasters. What do you think of this matter?" The old man said oh and asked hurriedly: "Is Qin in it too?"

"Of course, Qin has repeatedly invaded the land of the Three Jins and killed the people of Wei, Zhao and Han. If he could also stop the war, this would be a good thing for Wei."

"What if Qin did not participate in the alliance or came to attack Wei?"

"The Chu State convenes the remaining five countries to jointly assist Wei to resist Qin."

"This is a good thing. If the Seven Nation Alliance is in the Alliance, who will be the leader?"

"This will be discussed by the seven countries."

The old man laughed. The messenger's response was really fast. It seemed that he had taught him in advance how to answer. He suddenly asked, "Is Chunshen Jun's health good?" The messenger was stunned, thought for a moment, and then replied, "It's not bad."

"Where is the location of the alliance?"

"This...this is something that the seven countries should come together to discuss..."

The old man started asking questions quickly again, which made the messenger a little panicked. The old man's words and deeds were a little weird. He would occasionally ask the situation at the messenger's house gently, and occasionally ask whether there was any conspiracy in Chu. After a long struggle, the old man sent the messenger away and asked the messenger to rest for a few days. The messenger walked out of the palace with a little dizzyness, and the old man sat in his seat.

In this era, there were many scholars from schools, legalists who studied law, and Confucianism that promoted benevolent politics. Among them, there was an alternative school called famous scholars. The famous scholars school was a philosophical school that used the form of thinking, the relationship between laws and the relationship between name and reality as the subject, so they called famous scholars. Of course, they had other names in this era, called debaters and judges. As the name implies, they were schools that could observe everything around and were very good at debate.

And this old man, he called Gongsun Long, was a representative figure in the famous school of knowledge. He once proposed the philosophical proposition of the white horse not the horse. He also had an identity, the disciple of Pingyuan Jun.

Xunzi was very disgusted with famous scholars. He accused them of observing this and that all day long, but could not make decent summaries, and liked to make sophistry, but could not come up with strategies to govern the country, saying that they were the most useless scholars.

Gongsun Long looked at King Wei and Mr. Pingyuan and analyzed: "The State of Chu knew that war would not break out in the short term, so he wanted to formulate a covenant, tie the five countries to his chariot, and attack Qin together. He wanted to be the leader of the alliance, command the leader of the five countries, and use the power of the five countries to defeat Qin... Before the envoy arrived, Huang Xieding taught him how to answer. Sometimes he could answer quickly, but sometimes hesitate. From this, we can see what Huang Xie cares about..."

"What he cares about is just to use the deterrence of Qin to force the countries to resist Qin with him... However, Qin is a greedy tiger and wolf, and is always constantly engaging in wars. If the countries can resist Qin together, it would be a good thing..." Gongsun Long hesitated for a moment and said, "But if Chu does not want to unite to resist Qin, but uses the power of other countries to resist Qin..."

"Is there any difference?" King Wei asked curiously.

"Of course...", Gongsun Long was about to speak, but Zhao Sheng interrupted him. Gongsun Long was indeed the best at debate under his command, but this old man was always sarcastic and liked to say things that no one could understand, such as white horses and Li Jianbai. Zhao Sheng could not understand these things, and he was unwilling to listen. Seeing his appearance, Gongsun Long did not say much and closed his mouth.

"This is a favorable thing to Wei State. Wei State just needs time to restore its national strength..." Zhao Sheng said seriously.

The King of Wei couldn't help but nod.

Zhao Sheng looked at Long Yangjun and said, "Please arrange the envoy's residence, and in addition, send trustworthy warriors to protect his safety." Long Yangjun was very confused. Zhao Sheng explained, "This kind of covenant is only bad for Qin and has no benefits. Qin is also a country that uses any means. I am afraid that they will assassinate the envoy, destroy the covenant, and delay the covenant..."

Then Long Yangjun hurriedly walked out of the palace, and Gongsun Long also left with him, leaving only Zhao Sheng and King Wei in the palace.

Long Yang Jun left his disciples to protect the envoy of Chu and arranged everything. Then he returned to the palace. As soon as he walked into the palace, he saw the King of Wei sitting in the upper throne, wearing a slut, trembling.

"Shangjun...what is wrong with you?"

"It's Pingyuan Jun..."
