Chapter 3 The Visit of Famous Confucians (Part 1)
"As honest as water, no money is taken." Wei Liao praised Zhao Gao's behavior and said, "Although Lord Zhao was born in the Hidden Palace (the meaning of the Hidden Palace is very controversial in the historical community, and I dare not explain it indiscriminately), it is rare to have such ethics." After a pause, he praised Qin Shihuang again and said, "The king is really wise, there are such talented and ethical talents around him to run around!"
Wang Ao agreed with Wei Liao's opinion very much and said: "No matter whether the hero is born, although Lord Zhao is not well-off, it is very rare to be able to be so ethical. Eunuchs are one who loves to play power and the other is greedy for money. There are very few people like Lord Zhao, which is rare."
Like Li Si, Zhao Gao was a contradictory person. He had no major mistakes during Qin Shihuang's lifetime. On the contrary, he was diligent and cautious. Once Qin Shihuang died, the behavior of the two people was unexpected. No matter what the direction of history was, Zhao Gao's words and actions at this time could not be said, but at least it would be reassuring.
"Why are you two masters and apprentices so praised Zhao Gao? He is a historical sinner. The demise of the Qin Dynasty is because of him. You actually praise him. Is the title of master still uncertain?" Zhou Chong was a little confused that Zhao Gao, a historical sinner, could actually be praised by both masters and apprentices. He was very depressed and said, "Life is like a chess, and there are many changes, so a gentleman can change his leopard."
Only half of this said, the other half said that some people can turn from good to bad. This is everywhere in real life. How smart are the master and apprentice? How can there be no reason to hear it? Wang Ao, who is quick-talking, asked: "Brother Zhou, what do you mean? Is it said that Lord Zhao pretending on purpose?"
"Brother Wang is too worried, I'm just talking casually. The king who was wronged was a hero for a while. He was smart and benevolent before ascending the throne. Once he was in power, he would do whatever he wanted. In the end, his family was destroyed and his country was destroyed, and his detrimental was left for thousands of years." Zhou Chong smiled and said, "It's a conclusion to be made when he put a coffin!"
Wei Liao agreed with this and said, "Mysterious and wonderful. Life is like a chess. There are too many changes. Good people can become bad, and bad people can become good. The wrong king of Zhou changed from good to bad, Yi Yin and Taijia changed from bad to good, you must understand it, and you can only make a conclusion by blocking a coffin. This is a famous saying. Brother Zhou, Liaozi has been taught." He bowed to Zhou Chong.
Zhou Chong hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Brother Wei is so serious."
Wei Liao continued: "Although I see what Lord Zhao is doing, it is reassuring, but I always feel that it is a bit unpredictable. I want to find an opportunity to explore him."
Zhao Gao was really too scheming. He had deceived him by anyone as smart as Qin Shihuang. Even Wei Liao could not understand his true intentions. How could Zhou Chong not be shocked?
"You are the military advisor of Qin Shihuang. Although Qin Shihuang is extremely arrogant, he does not take everyone in the world seriously. He treats you as a gentleman and obeys you. He may be able to get rid of Zhao Gao. In this way, the future of the Qin Dynasty may be very different. The demise of the Qin Dynasty is one of the most regrettable events in Chinese history. If the powerful Qin Dynasty does not perish, the historical process of China may be different." Zhou Chong thought secretly in his mind.
Wang Ao admired Wei Liao and said, "With a gentleman here, even if Lord Zhao is in a bad mood, he dare not act rashly. Mr. Sikong Ying was injured and escaped, and a chivalrous man killed someone with one thought. If he regrets it afterwards and makes a comeback, Brother Zhou will be in danger. Please ask Mr. to come up with an idea to protect Brother Zhou from his completeness."
People like Sikong Ying are good-sounding knights, and bad-soundingly outlaws. This time they convinced Zhou Chong, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not regret it. If he comes again, Zhou Chong may not be able to escape again. This is indeed an urgent need.
"It's all your troubles. It's better to live in seclusion in Banxianju. But you're going to come and contribute to Qin. Now you're in trouble." Zhou Chong also understood the dangers in his situation. He was quite complaining in his heart, saying, "Sir, please come up with a good plan so that Sikong Ying will no longer chase me."
Wei Liao said with a lot of blame: "It's all my fault. It's my fault for being quiet and having fun, which made Brother Zhou suffer. Sikong Ying was seriously injured and would not recover in a month or two. If he comes again, Liaozi will have his own way to make him retreat."
Wei Liao was not concerned about profits and money. After not long since he was the shopkeeper, he felt unhappy. He left all the work to Zhou Chong and went to care for himself. Fortunately, Wang Ao's personality was very different from his. He was very interested in profits and helped deal with accounting matters, which saved Zhou Chong a lot of worry.
Zhou Chong was relieved to get his guarantee and said, "So, Zhou Chong thanks Brother Wei."
The shopman surnamed Qi rushed in angrily and said, "Shopkeeper, is someone making trouble?"
"Who? Report to the official!" Zhou Chong was very unhappy. A Sikong Ying made Zhou Chong frightened, and another person who made trouble popped up. How could Zhou Chong be angry?
A shop clerk surnamed Qi replied: "He is a Confucian scholar. He said he wants to make friends with literature and answer questions in the store. Can this be reported to the official?"
"Play, what about making friends through literature? Isn't it just that I read some books of sages and come to show off?" Zhou Chong sneered in his heart and said, "Do you still have a question? Ask him to answer, give him paper and pen to get him away if he answers correctly." Zhou Chongda, a nerd who likes to show off, looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
The shopkeeper surnamed Qi stood still and said, "Shopkeeper, he also said that the question is too simple and he is not worthy of his answer. He wants the shopkeeper to come up with more difficult questions."
These questions were all produced by Wei Liao. In order to take care of scholars, the questions were not very difficult, and even this was the case, it would have stumped many people. This person dared to say such a big talk. It seems that he is really capable, and he can't do it without any difficulties.
Wei Liao stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Okay, okay, make friends through literature, and Liaozi has more good friends, so please congratulate me. Come and bring a pen." He is ready to make a question.
Wang Ao prepared the four treasures of the study, and Wei Liao picked up the pen and wanted to write it. Zhou Chong said, "Brother Wei, wait."
Wei Liao asked, "Does Brother Zhou have something to say?"
Zhou Chong smiled wickedly and said, "Brother Wei, let me explain this question. Brother Wei has trained so many scholars, it's my turn to this time."
"Brother Zhou must have a talented person, and Liaozi will wait to appreciate it." Wei Liao handed the pen in his hand to Zhou Zhong.
Zhou Chong dipped in thick ink, wrote a quick pen on the paper, put down the pen after writing, and asked, "Brother Wei, do you think this question is difficult?"
"Old is not old, there are not many less." Wang Ao frowned and asked, "It is not right to be old, but it is difficult to be less. Brother Zhou, your question is too difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult, can I give it to him right? I'm absolutely right, he can't. People like this should humiliate him well." Zhou Chong thought proudly in his heart, saying, "This is called the beauty of adulthood. I can't give it to him if he wants it to be difficult."
Wei Liao touched his beard and thought, "Old is not old, but there are many young people. Brother Zhou, this question is not ordinary, it is very difficult. There are not many people who can look at the world."
"It's not that there are not a few, but there are not. There are many fewer people. This is the story of this dynasty, but he has not become the prime minister yet. What are you right?" Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Brother Wei is so serious. Take it out and let him know. Tell him that if he meets it, give him ten times the paper and pen, and a ingot of gold. I want him not to hurry and just go right. There is still time."
Zhou Chong was quite excited to think that this was absolutely impossible to match him. However, Zhou Chong's excitement did not last long. The shopkeeper surnamed Qi ran in quickly with the paper and shouted at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper, great, great, it's a match, it's a match. It's so great! It's so amazing!"
"Nonsense, can you definitely match it?" Zhou Chong didn't believe it at all. He grabbed it from the shop clerk and looked at it, and said in extreme surprise: "This, this, he can definitely match it. Is he a human or a god?"
