Chapter 258 Wu Chengjun, you are here

When Zhao Kuo left Zhao State, every step seemed a little heavy.

The carriage slowly drove through the fields of Zhao State. Zhao Kuo saw the people who were originally farming and rushed towards the place with fear and fear. But soon, the followers and disciples came forward to stop them. Such things were very frequent. People often stood in the middle of the road, crying and begging Ma Fujun not to leave. Amid the crying, Zhao Kuo's determination was also constantly shaken.

During this period, Zhao Kuo always stared at everything around him. He knew every city and every town here. He had fought bloody battles here and came here to investigate the people's sentiments. Because of the people's obstruction, Zhao Kuo walked slowly, but more and more people followed him. Most of these people had already lost their families, or were common people who fled from Han and Wei.

They survived because of Ma Fujun, and came to Zhao State because of Ma Fujun. They were also willing to leave with Ma Fujun.

More people cannot do this. They cannot leave their hometowns, nor can they give up everything they have. The ministers did not come to see each other farewell again. Zhao Kuo knew in his heart that they did not want to make things difficult for him. The people along the way always asked Ma Fujun to visit his hometown. Zhao Kuo happily went there. These Zhao people were both happy and sad. They lit a bonfire in the middle of the night, sang and danced, and the songs were full of retention.

Zhao Kuo had no choice but to make up his mind to drive away the people who blocked the road. Often, some people would deliberately destroy the road ahead, just to let Ma Fujun stay for more, some would reach out to block Zhao Kuo's carriage and were unwilling to leave. Zhao Kuo had to get off the car and apologize to these people one by one that he had to leave. Even if Zhao Kuo's family was not taken to Qin, he would have to leave.

Because here? Those who he loves? They will be in danger because of him.

Today, someone is plotting to murder Zhao Zheng for him, and someone will be plotting to murder Wei Wuji for him in the future? Dong Chengzi? Even Pinggong...Di, fortunately... Zhao Kuo is unwilling to implicate these people? He loves them very much. Zhao people are very cute. They keep their promises? They love to stand up for their injustice? They like to meddle in other people's business the most, and often stamp their feet angrily because of the injustice suffered by others. They pay attention to friendship and cherish friendship.

Zhao Kuo looked at the Zhao people who had bid farewell all the way? He was filled with mixed feelings.

This is his second hometown.

So Zhao Kuo sang Zhao song loudly? The high-pitched and loud, the followers, disciples, and the people also sang loudly. Whether they were Zhao people or not, whether they were going to stay in Zhao State? When they arrived at the border of Danshui, Zhao Kuo enthusiastically hugged everyone who came to say goodbye to him... He finally bid farewell to this land? When Zhao Kuo saw Changping, his eyes were full of loneliness.

Zhao Zheng was very happy at first? When Zhao Kuo told him? He took him to see his mother and eldest mother? Zhao Zheng was very happy and couldn't wait to urge Zhao Kuo. When he left the horse suit, Gong Ping hugged him and hugged him for a long time before he let go. Almost everyone who decided to stay hugged the cute horse suit. The horse suit seemed a little unhappy and broke free from their arms.

Especially when Mr. Ping hugged him tightly, he struggled impatiently.

He happily said goodbye to everyone, and then sat in Han Fei's arms and drove slowly on the road.

But three days later, Zhao Zheng started to cry happily. He began to miss his friends in the horse patriotic state. He began to miss Pinggong. He began to miss those who loved him. Han Fei kept comforting him. Zhao Zheng seemed to have also been affected by this sadness of parting. During these days, he was always in tears and kept asking Han Fei when he could see his eldest mother and mother and when could he take them home?

Han Fei just smiled and told him: Soon.

He turned around and could still see the Zhao people kneeling on the ground by the river, crying loudly. They were crying with a heart-wrenching voice. This was not only for the sake of the horse, but also for themselves. They had experienced too many hardships. Zhao Kuo pulled them up from the abyss, and did not return home for three years. They were forced to death by taxes, labor service, and officials angrily waved the whip in their hands.

It was Zhao Kuo who came from the scene. Zhao Kuo returned to his hometown with their relatives. Zhao Kuo punished the cruel officials who enslaved the people. Zhao Kuo reduced their taxes and labor service. When they had enough food, stayed by their family and enjoyed peace, they would not forget who it was because of. Therefore, they could be busy happily in the farmland, sang the words and deeds of Ma Fujun, and be able to proudly look at other people and show off their gentlemen.

But now, all of this may have to return to the origin.

Zhao Kuo looked behind him calmly.

Before he left Zhao State, the knights sent by the King of Zhao stopped him.

This made Zhao Kuo's disciples very excited. They took out their swords and pointed them at the knights in front of them. The knights were not here to make things difficult for Zhao Kuo, nor were they here to scold Zhao Kuo. The person who led the lead was Zhao Bu, who brought King Zhao's gifts and King Zhao's letters. In the letter, King Zhao expressed his apology seriously, and he told Zhao Kuo: You forgot to take your flag.

In addition to this flag, King Zhao also sent a lot of things.

In the letter, King Zhao said: I will use your system to govern Zhao State, and will no longer increase the taxes of the people, and will no longer allow them to serve continuously... I will never hold a banquet before you return to King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo chuckled. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is in Zhao or not. Shang Yang died, and his new law can continue to be implemented in Qin. Now that he has left Zhao, his system can be implemented in Zhao. King Zhao is not unaware of the good or bad of his system. He just hopes that the reform can be carried out under his control. Zhao Kuo found that after he left, the people of Zhao would not fall into the sea of ​​suffering again.

This is something worth being happy about. If I had known that I would have left, I would have left long ago.

At this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a great respect for a later poet, Du Fu. Because he remembered a poem by Du Fu: How can you have thousands of houses to shelter all the poor people in the world to be happy! The wind and rain are as peaceful as a mountain. Alas! When will you suddenly see this house in front of you? My house is broken and frozen to death!

Du Fu sat in the dilapidated house, lamenting when the poor scholars in the world could get a high-rise building that could withstand the wind and rain. If there was such a house, he would be happy even if he was frozen to death in the dilapidated house.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo actually felt that he seemed to be able to understand Du Fu's mood. If his departure could allow Zhao people to have a high-rise building that could withstand the cold, then he would be happy to be in exile. If everyone in the world could live in such a house and be happy, he would be carrying a slander and living in abuse, what would it matter?

When Zhao Kuo woke up from his thoughts, he found that he had arrived on the other side of the river.

This is Changping, and this is his destination.

On the riverside, there were dense Qin soldiers standing. These soldiers seemed to have just dug out pottery figurines from the soil. They stood straight by the river, forming a neat formation, looking ahead, motionless, and even their chariots were the same, and the horses did not dare to move. This was the first time Zhao Kuo saw the Qin army at such a close distance. Such a formation was very shocking.

It is hard to imagine that in the era thousands of years ago, there was such an army, with tens of thousands of people just like one person. Zhao Kuo's guests, his disciples, and the people who were still crossing the river, were shocked at this moment. Han Fei looked at the army in surprise, his eyes gradually brightened. He seemed to understand why the teacher said that Qin was the most likely country to rule the world.

No wonder Qin State can always defeat the army that far exceeds their number...

Just in the middle of the soldiers, there was an old man standing. The old man was wearing armor and was extremely majestic and had the style of General Lian Po. The old man walked quickly to Zhao Kuo with a few warriors. Before Zhao Kuo could salute, he took the lead and leaned over to bow and said in a skilled Zhao language: "I pay homage to Wu Chengjun." This sentence made everyone behind Zhao Kuo stunned. They looked suspiciously at the old man leaning forward to salute. This old man...

Zhao Kuo was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "I am older than Qin, I can't accept such great gifts as you." The Qin King raised his body, holding Zhao Kuo's hand tightly, and he was unwilling to let go. His eyes gradually became wet. He smiled and said in a daze: "You are really here... I didn't expect that I really saw you... This is really good, great."

"Please get on the car..." The King of Qin pulled Zhao Kuo and walked towards the direction of the carriage. Zhao Kuo found that the King of Qin was not weak, so he pulled himself to the side of the carriage. The King of Qin wanted to help Zhao Kuo get on the carriage, but Zhao Kuo did not dare and hurriedly said, "Please get on the carriage first." The King of Qin just shook his head and smiled on his face. Zhao Kuo walked onto the carriage helplessly. The King of Qin jumped into the position of the driver, but wanted to drive Zhao Kuo himself.

Zhao Kuo was really speechless. He knew that the King of Qin respected him very much, but he did not expect that the King of Qin could do this. The King of Qin's behavior also shocked everyone. Whether it was the ministers of Qin who came to greet him or the people who followed Zhao Kuo, they were all looking at the direction of the carriage, stunned. The King of Qin whipped the horse in front of him and then drove towards the city.

"Mr. Wu Chengjun...I finally saw you."

"That's great."

"Since I know your talents, I have always been thinking about meeting you... It's a pity that Uncle Fan has not been able to wait for this day, but he will be very happy. You don't know that he even wanted to go to Zhao State in person just to meet you, but I am worried about his safety and did not let him go... And Wu'an Jun, before Wu'an Jun passed away, he said that his biggest regret was that he was not able to meet you."

"I was also worried at first. I am very old and I don't know if I have the chance to meet you."

King Qin was nagging and talking about these things, but Zhao Kuo didn't say a word, feeling an inexplicable touch in his heart.

"Your wife is pregnant. I dare not let her run around, so I let her rest here..." When the King of Qin drove out of the array with Zhao Kuo, the soldiers immediately turned around, faced the King of Qin, and followed quickly, stirring up dust in the sky, which made Di a little angry. After complaining for a few words, he followed the rest of them, and officials from Qin came to receive him.

Perhaps because of Ma Fujun, these officials were very polite. They were also using Zhao Yu. The people who followed were also trying to find a way. They did not expect that so many people would follow Wu Chengjun to come. However, this was a good thing. The Danshui coast suddenly became lively, while the disciples and disciples hurriedly followed the people in front.

Li Si stood beside Xunzi, looking a little angry.

"The King of Qin ignored you so much... This is for you..."

"Hahaha, the King of Qin didn't know that I had arrived here at all, so how could he say he had despised me?" Xunzi didn't care and comfortably introduced the matter of Qin to Gongsun Long beside him. He had been to Qin and knew about Qin. However, the King of Qin had just focused on Zhao Kuo, but he didn't notice Xunzi in the crowd. Gongsun Long looked around and listened to Xunzi telling him about the system of Qin.

Xunzi rarely praised anything. On the contrary, he scolded more people. The people he praised were Zhao Kuo, Han Fei and others, but the systems he praised were only the system of Qin. Xunzi had a high evaluation of the system of Qin. He believed that the systems of the six countries were not as good as those of Qin, and believed that the systems of Qin were the most advanced and did not require any improvement.

Well... the current system of Qin is not very friendly to Confucians, but Xunzi can still say such words. This makes people admire Xunzi's tallness. He will not deny what is unfavorable to him because of his position.

When the King of Qin drove Zhao Kuo to the gate of the city, officials were waiting here. They were all shocked by the scene in front of them. The last time the King of Qin took such a pose was many years ago. When Fan Ju had just arrived in Qin, the King of Qin bent over and bowed to him. It took him six times before Fan Ju became the Yinghou of Qin and put all his efforts into it.

Looking at the white-haired Qin King in front of him, Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly.

The car soon arrived at the door of a more luxurious mansion in the city. As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhao Kuo heard the insults coming from inside.

"You want to serve me as an elder? If I had a junior like you, I would have drawn my sword and committed suicide long ago!"

This is Ge's voice.
