Chapter 323 If the world is good, how can the people turn against it?

Entering the house, Ying Chengxi took off his wet clothes, wiped off the rain with a towel, and changed into dry clothes.

Guiguzi dragged off his coir raincoat, put down his umbrella, consciously lit candles, and closed the doors and windows to prevent the slightest chance of water vapor getting in.

Raindrops the size of soybeans slapped on the wooden windows and doors, crackling like popping beans.

Inside the house, orange flames were bright.

Ying Chengyu and Guiguzi sat opposite each other on both sides of the table, and the table was empty.

"Although the two words you said are good, they are somewhat nondescript. The country that rules the world is Qin, where the king is, and the ups and downs are caused by Qin's iron cavalry. The wind and rain falling in Qi, Han, Yan and Wei are bleak things. Need to hide, hold an umbrella. It fell on Junshang..."

Guiguzi stopped talking and didn't continue.

If he hadn't been wearing a coir raincoat and holding an umbrella today, he would have felt that Ying Chengxue was pointing at himself.Now I won't refute at all, I will only applaud what Ying Chengxun said.

"I think it's okay. The prince didn't understand the meaning of it, and needs to study more."

Guiguzi has lived for hundreds of years, met Mozi, Fan Li, Zhuangzi and other famous people, and made friends with them on an equal footing. He taught disciples Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin, and Zhang Yi to stir up the world.

No matter where he goes, some people say that he has a hard heart, or some people despise him very much.But except for Ying Chengxu, no one ever said that Guiguzi was not very knowledgeable.

Guiguzi was questioned but did not refute.He took out the map that he laid out once in the morning from his pocket, and spread it on the table.

"Your Majesty, please send people into Qi to kill Chong Tongzi so that the world can be safe."

After the heavy rain, Guiguzi believed that Ying Chengxun should have believed what he said.

"There is no rush at this time."

Ying Chengxun thought for a moment, then got off the ground and picked up the oil-paper umbrella Guiguzi had brought.

Amidst the crackling rain, Guiguzi frowned, not knowing what Ying Chengxu was going to do.

"What is your majesty going to do?"

Ying Chengxue responded as he walked out.

"It is agreed to eat and talk with the prince. There is no wine or meat right now. I will go to the kitchen to get some."

"Your Majesty!"

Guiguzi's voice contained unrestrained anger, anyone with ears could hear it.

What time is this now?It's time to talk about world affairs and discuss about killing Chong Tongzi.

Good food and wine are just rhetoric. It is best to have it, and it will not delay things if you don’t have it. It is not worth looking for it.

"Wait a moment, prince. I'm not the one who doesn't count my words. I go back as soon as I go."

The moment the door opened, the cold wind and drizzle sneaked in from it, and the candlelight shook a few times in fear and almost went out.Guiguzi held the candle with one hand to block the wind and rain, and was speechless in his heart.

But it's useless to be speechless right now, Ying Chengxun has already rushed out with an oil-paper umbrella to find good food and wine.

Guiguzi frowned, unable to figure out why Ying Chengxun disagreed with his statement.

At such a critical juncture, isn't it the most obvious rejection to go out and find some irrelevant food and drink?Isn't it just to let him think about why this matter cannot be done?

He opened the window slightly, and the sound of big and small beads falling on the jade plate was suddenly amplified countless times.

pop~
Letting go let the window fall and close freely, Wang Chan frowned, but did not stretch as the window closed.

"The wind and rain are coming, Your Majesty should know that what I said is true, why do you disagree with what I said? Where is the problem?"

After thinking about it for less than half a cup of tea, Wang Chan, who had won the word "zi" very early, already had the answer.

Not long after, only three drops of wax oil slipped from the candle, and the door knocked lightly.

The candle flickered, the rain suddenly became louder, and Ying Chengxun came back with wine and meat.

On the table, there is a small bronze tripod carved with tigers, and there is a weak flame under it. There is water in the tripod, and there is a wine bottle in the water.

Ying Chengxun placed the small tripod in the middle of the table, then arranged delicacies around the tripod, and sat down with a smile on his face.

Guiguzi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yingcheng's gourd, so he picked up the wine bottle and poured it by himself, drinking to promote blood circulation, and warm his no longer strong body.

In such a heavy rain, even though he was wearing a coir raincoat and holding an oil-paper umbrella, he was still quite wet.

There is no clothes for him to change here, the moisture penetrates into his flesh from his clothes, he is indeed a little cold.

"Hey."

Ying Chengxi blocked Wang Chan's hand from taking the wine bottle, and said with a smile:
"Waiting for a while, the prince. This wine is a bit cold. Drink it after it is hot, and the effect of removing the cold will be very good. It is not a good thing to be impatient."

"Your Majesty is using wine as a metaphor, saying that the old man is impatient, and the heart to kill Chong Tongzi is too impatient."

The old man spoke slowly, using a declarative tone, completely convinced of his own judgment.

Both of them are thousand-year-old foxes, and they won't play Liaozhai or do meaningless things at this time.

"What do you think, Your Majesty? You want to gather the anti-Qin forces with the double pupil, so as to wipe them out and prevent future troubles forever? Jun Shangwa sacrificial words against heaven, if the news of the double pupil's birth is now spread to the world, Proclaim it widely.

"When all eyes are on you, your majesty can kill Chong Tongzi again. This is a wonderful move. No matter how high your martial arts are, you are vulnerable to your majesty's pistol.

"But your lord, what Zen wants to remind is that the pistol in your arms is a magical weapon, but you are not a god, and you will die. Eliminate the person when you are young, and benefit the small and safe. Eliminate the person when the roc spreads its wings. The benefits are not stable."

This is the only reason Guiguzi can think of, that Ying Chengxun doesn't want to kill Chong Tongzi.Only this possibility is in line with the interests, and Ying Chengxun feels that it is not beneficial to kill heavy pupils now.

Ying Chengxun reached out to touch the wine bottle, checked the temperature, picked it up himself, and poured it into the Guiguzi wine glass.

"The wine is warm but not hot. Drinking it at this time relaxes the tendons and activates the blood without scalding the esophagus. It's just right."

Guiguzi glanced at the lord, but didn't understand what the lord was doing, but it was true that he was cold and uncomfortable, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

The warm wine enters the stomach, the taste is mellow, but not spicy, it is a wine that Guiguzi has never drunk.

"How about it?"

Ying Chengxu asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty can do whatever you want, if so, you have to think more about it..."

Ying Chengxun pointed to the wine glass in Guiguzi's hand with a drop or two of residual wine.

"I said wine, how about wine?"

Guiguzi took a light breath, closed his eyes, then opened them quickly, and nodded expressionlessly.

"Very good."

Guiguzi's heart was burning with anger, but he didn't dare to blaze in front of the lord.He originally thought that what Ying Chengxun was asking about was his idea of ​​killing Chong Tongzi, but he didn't expect to ask about wine!

At such a time, which good person would ask how the wine is?
"Didn't the prince drink it?"

"Never drank."

"This is the wine I brewed from the Korean specialty millet. The prince is the second person to drink it. This wine is not strong, but mellow, delicious, and not overpowering..."

Guiguzi could continue to listen to Ying Chengxu's talk, but he didn't want to.

These words have nothing to do with what I said today, no matter how I heard it, I was talking about wine.Guiguzi has a lot of things to do every day, if he had to prove Yin Yang to Ying Chengxun today, he would have already rested by now.

He didn't want to waste time on these meaningless things, so he questioned:
"Your Majesty, you just want to have a drink with Zen today?"

Ying Chengyu shut up, offered Guiguzi another glass of wine in a leisurely manner, made a gesture of persuading him to drink, and said with a smile:
"The prince forgot again, and being impatient is not a good thing."

Guiguzi drank the second glass of wine in one gulp, and Ying Chengxun continued to be interrupted by Guiguzi without finishing his sentence.

"Chu King's Liquor and Zhao Guohu Liquor are both famous for being strong, but the distilled wine I brew is many times stronger than these two. But distilled wine is the strongest wine? No.

"When technology develops and technology improves, the alcohol concentration will become higher and higher. In the future, there will be alcohol stronger than my distilled liquor. But this era should not be seen.

"Since Lie can't improve, then find another way, just like this Korean millet wine, with a mellow taste..."

This time, Ying Chengxuan still didn't finish speaking, and Guiguzi interrupted Ying Chengxuan's words for the second time.

He got up and stood, displeasure was written all over his face, the old man felt that he had been insulted, and clasped his fists.

"If your majesty wants to talk about wine, I forgive you for not being with me."

"Hahaha, if I were a prince. At this time, I would say that I am sorry for the banquet in the middle of the night, and I don't ask the common people about the bad wine."

"Your Majesty, poetry is a path, and no matter how well you recite it, it is nothing but a moan. What's more, what you recite is your own poem style, which is even more useless. Please put your mind on the Dao."

Guiguzi said with a cold face, not to talk about the true meaning of the poem, but to save face for Ying Chengxu.

"Then, let's say something useful."

Ying Chengyu looked serious and pointed to the map on the table.

"Why did the prince want me to kill Chong Tongzi, because it will be a great disaster for Qin in the future?"

"Your Majesty is still suspicious of the accuracy of the old man's words." Gui Guzi, who felt that he was not trusted, bowed his head in silence for a moment, and said, "Wang Chan originally thought that the heavy rain tonight should be enough for Your Majesty to know that this old man is not an alarmist."

"My lord, look into my eyes."

Guiguzi raised his head and saw that there was no doubt in Ying Chengxu's eyes.

"I completely trust the prince's judgment. I just want to know whether the prince wants to kill Chong Tongzi because he will be a serious problem for the Qin State in the future?"

Guiguzi asked back:
"Is this not enough?"

These five words have definitely answered Ying Chengxu's question.

"not enough!"

Ying Chengxi said in a deep voice:
"It's like strong wine. The distilled wine is stronger than the wine of the king of Chu, and stronger than the wine of the state of Zhao. If the state of Chu and the state of Zhao are still there, they want their own wine to be the strongest in the world. They don't think about how to make strong wine, but just want to make it My distilled liquor was overturned and destroyed, the prince thought, how about this?"

Guiguzi understood why Ying Chengxun had been talking about drinking before, and knew that Ying Chengxun was not a person who didn't know the importance, and his misunderstanding of Ying Chengxun was resolved.

Sit down again.

"What's wrong with this? Without distilled wine, King Chu's wine is the strongest wine. Why complicate brewing when it can be easily destroyed to achieve the purpose?"

"There is a saying among doctors: cure the symptoms but not the root cause. I don't know why the prince would have such an idea. Although brewing is more difficult than destroying, it is a real improvement. Without distilled wine, the wine of the king of Chu is stronger than the wine of the state of Zhao, and the wine of the state of Zhao is stronger. The next step is to destroy Chu Wangjiu. If you don’t think about making progress and blindly suppress it, I can’t agree with this.”

Guiguzi touched the texture of the table with his fingers and said:
"In the past, Li Mu was the general of the Zhao State. He told you that the Qin State could not make an inch of progress, even the god of war Wang Jian. At that time, Dun Ruo offered a countermeasure and asked Guo Kai to offer slander, so that Zhao Wangqian bestowed Li Mu to death. If there is no king Above, Li Mu died early.

"The state of Qin used the hands of the state of Zhao to get rid of Li Mu and break through Handan. What's wrong with that? According to what your majesty said, they should fight Li Mu head-on. At that time, if the army is lost and the generals are lost, how can the state of Qin seek the world?"

Ying Chengxi held up a finger and shook it again and again.

"Without me, this matter would have developed like this. What the prince said seems to be all right. However, I used veteran Lian Po to force Li Mu, and then used saddles, horseshoes and other objects to make Li Mu realize the reality. To save Li Mu's life, Li Mu is now in Northwest University. Stretch your fists. Zhao Guo is dead, Li Mu is dead, this matter is much better than what the prince said."

Guiguzi sneered.

"Your Majesty still wants to subdue him as a disciple. From my point of view, the double pupil will not be used by Your Majesty."

"I don't want to be a door-keeper... No, it's not bad for a door-keeper, but what I want to say is not a door-keeper."

Ying Chengxue said seriously:
"If you want to be stable, weakening the enemy is the last resort. Strengthening yourself is the right way. Just like South Korea, it always wants to weaken Qin with various conspiracies and tricks, and does not want to develop and strengthen itself, so it ends up being the first to be destroyed.

"The prince said that the double pupil is brave and invincible. I believe this, but knowing that we are going to kill him? The world remains the same, and there will be another double pupil? This is not planning for a rainy day, it is unfounded worry!"

Guiguzi opened his eyes wide.

"This is planning for the rainy day. Unreasonable worries are worried about things that won't happen, but this double pupil has been born, with the destiny of Qinglong, and the Phoenix bird is with him. This kind of astrology proves that he is from Chu, and he is born with extraordinary courage. Will be subservient to others. Given time, it will inevitably lead to rebellion against Chu!"

[Although this yin and yang technique can't tell Xiang Yu's name and surname, it can tell Chu people, which is outrageous...]
Ying Chengxun thought to himself, and said:
"What is the reason for the opposite?"

"He is an aristocrat of the Chu Kingdom, and if he wants to restore his former glory, your majesty doesn't need to think about solving this matter. Since your majesty wants to eliminate the nobles, enfeoffment is the old system, and this son cannot be satisfied."

"Can he do it alone? No matter how brave he is, he can single-handedly fight from Qidi to Xianyang, enter Xianyang Palace, burn down Efang Palace, and kill the emperor brother?"

"...Chongtongzi became a human being when he was born into the world, how can there be such a person in the world?"

"That's it. Since he needs followers, where did the followers come from? Are they also nobles who want to restore their former glory? How many nobles can there be? Did Wang Jianping betray him before he left Qi? Common people, why did the common people rebel with him?"

Guiguzi remained silent.

Ying Chengxi poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, his voice was not loud but very clear and steady.

"Because the world is bad! I don't believe it. The world is good, and the people live a good life, but risking being beheaded and rebelling with Chong Tongzi?!
"My lord, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of Chong Tongzi, or me, brother Huang?"
