Chapter 280 279. Quiet Tea Talk
During the Warring States Period, those with the best etiquette systems were those in the Qi State and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Because of the relationship between Confucianism and Confucianism, Qi State inherited the 800-year heritage of the Zhou Dynasty from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.The Qin State is regarded as extremely barbaric in the world, although its military strength is the best in the world.The etiquette and ideas are extremely barbaric, and even the poems are only "Qin Feng".

Although Yingzhu's succession ceremony was simple, the scene was extremely magnificent.The most important thing is people, in fact, it doesn't cost much.

At the moment when Ying Zhu was wearing the black dragon robe of King Qin and took Zhao Zheng to the ancestral temple in Xianyang to offer sacrifices.The people of Qin spontaneously gathered on both sides of the exclusive kingly road to wait for a long time ago, hoping to see the demeanor of the new king of Qin.

Ying Zhu stood on the car with an excited expression, beside Zhao Zheng in the black dragon robe with three claws of the king and grandson, and on the other side was the excited Ying Zichu. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren shared the glory of the Ying family.

The people did not cheer, let alone shout.Only the grandfather and grandson were looking at the three people waving greetings on the chariot with excited eyes, as if they wanted to engrav their appearance firmly in their hearts.

The sacrificial ceremony is very complicated and needs to be properly arranged by the etiquette officer, as long as it is carried out as usual.

According to the rules of etiquette, as Wang Sun's teacher, Ji Ruyu originally had to participate.When the courtier approached Ji Ruyu, he refused because he had no official position.

Even though many people knew that what he held in his hand was Mu Gongjian, which represented military power.But there was nothing he could do about Ji Ruyu, who lived in the side hall of Longtai Palace and always lived in seclusion.If it weren't for his great reputation, many people might have forgotten his existence.

Perhaps he knew that it was not appropriate for him to live in Longtai Palace all the time, or perhaps he had many friends and it was inconvenient to come and go.Just after Yingzhu and the others came back from offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, Ji Ruyu left Longtai Palace and bought a new tea house in Handan City, regardless of Yingji, Yingzhu and others' repeated attempts to stay.

……

Mu Yu opened the door of the inner room and saw the young master who was wiping the edge of his sword. He said softly: "Young Master, Prince Chu of Qin has come to visit with his young master Lu Buwei!"

It's okay if the others don't see him. After all, there are many people wooing him.Now it was Prince Qin and Lu Buwei who came to the door. Ji Ruyu knew that she couldn't push them away even if she wanted to.

With a flick of his hand, the Lingxu Sword fell into its scabbard, and the crisp sound was particularly sweet and moving.Compared to Mu Gongjian, who has unlimited power, Ji Ruyu still prefers Lingxu, who has a beautiful and comfortable sword.

"Prince, Mr. Lu."

Seeing Ji Ruyu crossing the door, Yiren and Lu Buwei, who reacted after hearing the words, also put down their tea cups and stood up: "Ji Zi!"

Having reached the level of a master, and still having the fragments of the Analects of Confucianism, Ji Ruyu is already a semi-sage of Confucianism.Moreover, he is still the master of Wang Sun Ying Zheng after changing his name.Moreover, it is natural for Yiren and Lu Buwei to salute each other as the Fulong people of the Qin Dynasty today.

There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Since Yiren and the others are here, they naturally have something to discuss.However, Ji Ruyu cannot start the matter. The higher the status, the greater the rights, and the greater the corresponding responsibilities.

With Ji Ruyu's current status, she could not say anything casually and agree to anything.

The stranger talked about him, but he still refused to get to the point.Lu Buwei looked anxious and couldn't say anything.Ji Ruyu also relies on his strength. With his rich experience in several worlds, no matter what the stranger wants to say, he can always pick up the tune.

Under such circumstances, Yiren no longer persisted, but asked Ji Ruyu formally: "Ji Zi is a Confucian semi-sage. Although he has only been in Qin for a short time, he should have heard some rumors. His father's body It’s always been bad, although I have been crowned as the prince, it is only a title of honor in name only.”

"I don't know how to solve the three problems of Qin's Mi surname, military power and government affairs!"

The foreigner's question was very direct. It was obvious that he didn't want his grandfather Ying Ji.After ascending the throne, he was ignored by his mother and became the most famous King of Qin.

Ji Ruyu is Ying Zheng's teacher, even if she doesn't take sides in the eyes of outsiders.He also belongs to Ying Yiren's camp, so the questions from Yiren are naturally simple and clear.

"Prince, do you know why this place is called Jingyi?" Ji Ruyu put down the morning dew in her hand, although the taste of the morning dew was very bland.But when you taste morning dew with interesting people, even the bland taste becomes infinitely more delicious.

Even though Ying Yiren didn't speak, Ji Ruyu more or less guessed his question.Obviously, the submissive Ying Yiren in Handan City is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Ji Ruyu's words made Yiren and Lu Buwei look at each other with confused expressions. Then Yiren looked at Ji Ruyu and asked, "What does Ji Zi mean by this?"

Since Zhao Ji's mother and son returned to Xianyang and Ying Zheng became the grandson of the Ying family, Zhao Ji also lived in the Prince's Mansion.Although the father and son get together less and leave more, and their relationship is very indifferent, the stranger is only the reason why the two have never met.

But seeing how outstanding Ying Zheng is, Yiren knew Ji Ruyu's ability.When Yiren and Lu Buwei came to see Ji Ruyu, it was Zhao Ji's suggestion.

However, after hearing these words, the stranger became more and more confused.However, Lu Buwei noticed the profound meaning in Ji Ruyu's words, and began to lower his head and think silently.

From here it is not difficult to see the difference between Yiren and Lu Buwei.As a member of the Ying family, Yiren is used to letting others find solutions to problems, while he serves as the final arbiter and is the king.

Lu Buwei is accustomed to thinking for himself, trying his best to solve problems and serve as a minister.

Ji Ruyu was no longer trying to show off. She smiled and waved her hand and explained to the two of them: "The so-called quietness actually has three meanings. The first meaning is quietness. Whether you are a person or doing something, your mind must be calm. Only by calming your mind can you get twice the result with half the effort. The prince has just become the prince, and it is too impatient to think that these things are not possible."

"The three questions you raised have a long history in Qin, and they can't be solved overnight with a single word."

When Ying Yiren heard this, he was shocked physically and mentally. If Ji Ruyu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that he was so impatient.

As the leader of a force, you must have enough patience, confidence and determination.This is also the reason why a person who is a king must have a firm mind to teach the Dharma.

Just like Mrs. Huayang who sits in Huayang Palace, Ying Yiren knows how powerful and terrifying this "aunt"'s mind is.

Seeing Ying Yi and Lu Buwei, Ji Ruyu already felt something after hearing the words. Ji Ruyu secretly nodded with satisfaction and said: "The second meaning is intention, and the third meaning is tranquility. These are two completely different questions. As for the answer It depends on the thinking and intelligence of the Crown Prince and Mr. Lu."

Some words must be stopped at the last minute. After all, this is not a matter of government policy.Ji Ruyu doesn't have to tell her answer completely, leaving enough space for the two of them to think is the best policy.

Ji Ruyu has already made it clear that even if she controls Mu Gongjian, she is unwilling to interfere with Qin's political affairs.The answer that should be given has been given. As for how to solve the alien's problem, it depends on their own strategy.

Yiren and Lu Buwei also knew that nothing can be forced, when they got up and were about to say goodbye.Ji Ruyu suddenly waved her hand to stop her, and said to the two respectively, "A word to you."

Ji Ruyu said to the stranger: "When encountering problems, you should have a thunderous heart, and act with a calm mind. Only when you lose things can you gain something!"

Turning around, he said to Lu Buwei: "Don't force anything. You should understand that if you lose something, you will gain something."

……

The news that Ying Yiren is looking for Ji Ruyu is not a secret, just like the world today also knows about the first case in Qin, where the outgoing King of Qin designated the grandson Ying Zheng as a special case.

As soon as Ying Zheng returned to Huayang Palace, he saw Mrs. Huayang sitting majestically, and Cheng Jiao, who now has a deep love between his ancestors and his grandchildren.

"Greetings to grandma!" Ying Zheng was very polite, even though Hua Yang had said it many times.Every time he returns to Huayang Palace, he still "goes his own way".

The serious and upright Ying Zheng is indeed not as considerate as the restless Cheng Jiao, but Hua Yang can see that Cheng Jiao's upper limit is there.

Even though Hua Yang didn't speak, Ying Zheng continued to salute and even talked about serving Ying Ji: "My great-grandfather slept peacefully today and was in a much better mood. He even asked about my grandfather and grandmother."

Mrs. Huayang seemed to be playing around with Cheng Jiao, but in fact her eyes were fixed on Ying Zheng from beginning to end.Seeing such a steady-minded young man, I couldn't help but secretly nod with satisfaction.

Although I really don't want to admit it, compared to Ying Zheng, Cheng Jiao is really far behind.

Maybe it's because of Huayang's relationship, or other people's rumors.Even though Ying Zheng returned a few days ago, the relationship between Cheng Jiao and Ying Zheng was not close.Compared with Ying Zheng, who went through hardships at the age of eight, Cheng Jiao, who grew up carefree, is still playful and mischievous even at the age of five.

Hearing Ying Zheng's voice, Cheng Jiao, who was still in Huayang's arms, raised his head and noticed Ying Zheng's presence: "Brother——"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded at Cheng Jiao. Compared with the indifference in Cheng Jiao's address, Ying Zheng's expression was very gentle and harmonious.

Although Hua Yang saw it, he didn't say anything more, he waved his hand and said to Cheng Jiao: "Jiao'er go back to your mother first, Grandma Wang and your brother have something to say."

Cheng Jiao didn't really want to leave. He was about to refuse like a baby and wanted to play with Huayang.Noticing Huayang's majestic and undeniable eyes, he could only leave Huayang Palace in despair.

Although Cheng Jiao didn't say anything, everyone could see his resentment towards Ying Zheng.

Huayang waved Ying Zheng to come to her side, and Ying Zheng obediently walked over and knelt down.Although they are only one foot apart, it feels like they are a world apart.

Huayang said: "You have only been in Huayang Palace for a few days, and grandma has never spoken to you. You can resent grandma."

Ying Zheng smiled and said: "There is nothing to be resentful about. Zheng'er has been a hostage in Zhao State since he was a child. He and his grandmother have never known each other, and it is natural for them to be strangers to each other."

"Zheng'er is right!"

Hua Yang was very happy when he heard this and was magnanimous to his relatives.He was strict with himself and did not change his original intention even after becoming a king and grandson. Hua Yang fell in love with Ying Zheng even more.

However, Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao share the same love, but they are completely different.Huayang likes Chengjiao because of the love between ancestors and grandchildren, and the love between Chenghuan's knees.

For Yingzheng, it is exquisite and measured, and he wants to become the king of Qin.It is necessary to obtain the sincere support of the surname Mi, is it not enough for Zhao Zheng today?
Hua Yang stretched out his hand and tapped Ying Zheng's forehead very intimately: "Although I say so, there are always some thoughts in my heart. Grandma will give you a privilege today. If you are willing, you can come anytime, anywhere. Talk to grandma.”

Huayang could say this because he was obviously very satisfied with Ying Zheng's performance while living in Huayang Palace during this period.This also clearly shows from the side that Ying Zheng has initially obtained the recognition of Huayang and Mi behind her.

"Thank you, grandma!" Although Ying Zheng is only eight years old, his immature face looks extremely majestic.Even after hearing such good news, his expression remained unchanged and calm.

Huayang asked himself that he was extremely talented, but at Ying Zheng's age he would never be able to perform such a shocking performance.Then he took Ying Zheng's hand calmly, and asked curiously: "Recently, you are serving sick in King Qin's palace, do you have time to ask your teacher for advice!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he just smiled and said, "I want to go, but I don't dare!"
