After returning to the Chu Palace.

After Huanyuan formally greeted him with the courtesy of a courtier, he said: "The king, the minister has been in the Qi country for many years, and today he is fortunate to be called by the king to return to his homeland. The old minister was grateful, and specially prepared three gifts for the king, and asked the king to smile. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to reward, the courtiers took the lead in offering gifts, which is rare.

If Huan Yuan was a great sage in the world, Xiong Huai thought he was bribing himself.

But what will this ring abyss give to himself?

Could it be a suggestion!

Xiong Huai's heart was full of anticipation and curiosity: "I don't know what Mr. has to give to the widow." ”

Huan Yuan said with a smile: "When the old minister returned from the Qi country, he didn't bring anything, just brought back a few big cars of classics, so the things that the old minister offered were just some classics." ”

After a pause, Huan Yuan saw that the King of Chu's face was no different, so he said: "King, the first gift offered by the old minister is the book "Lao Tzu" compiled by the ancestor and the old minister based on Lao Tzu's remarks and writings. ”

As he spoke, he saw Li Qiu with a group of waiters serving a bunch of books.

"Lao Tzu"?

It is none other than the Tao Te Ching!

Xiong Huai opened a few books, and it was indeed the Tao Te Ching, but it was different, and the whole book also contained many Lao Tzu's deeds and remarks.

The moment he put down the book, Xiong Huai thought of the value of the book, which was definitely a heavy gift.

Let's not talk about the rest, as long as this book is placed in Taixue, and it is said to the outside world that this is the original text of Lao Tzu written by Lao Tzu's personal disciples, then those people of the Taoist school in the opposition in Chu State will definitely boil.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said to Huanyuan: "Heavy gift, this gift of Mr. is like the weight of Mount Tai, and it is difficult for a widow to bear it..."

Huan Yuan was suddenly surprised, he thought that the King of Chu might not pay attention to this book, and also thought that the King of Chu might treasure this book in the Chu Palace, but he didn't expect that the King of Chu would think that he couldn't bear it.

When Huan Yuan was surprised, Xiong Huai continued: "Lao Tzu is the sage of the Chu State, my Chu State has always governed the country with Taoism, and similarly, the Taoist school is also widely spread in the Chu State. ”

"So the widow plans to copy a copy and put it in the Chu Palace, originally placed in the Taixue of the Chu State, so that everyone in the world can see the deeds and demeanor of Lao Tzu, and if someone plans to copy this book, the widow will provide bamboo slips and knives and pens for free, I don't know what Mr. thinks."

Of course, Huan Yuan would not object to this kind of spreading Taoist doctrine, and immediately smiled: "The king is benevolent and righteous, and the old minister admires and admires." ”

After accepting the first gift, Xiong Huai asked expectantly, "I don't know what Mr.'s second gift is?" The widow can't wait. ”

Huan Yuan said with a smile: "Back to the king, this second gift is half of the classics, called "The Book of Luxury", which was co-authored by Lao Chen's friends Jiezi and Ji Zi, but unfortunately the book was not finished yet, so they parted ways. The old minister felt that this book was acceptable, and specially dedicated it to the king. ”

What kind of book is "The Book of Extravagance"? The future generations have never heard of it! Also, before this is finished, you dare to dedicate it to the widow, and after closely following the "Tao Te Ching", is this also a divine book, but it was later burned by Qin Shi Huang?

Xiong Huai curiously opened the "Book of Extravagance", which was full of Guanzi's deeds, focusing on the principle of Guanzi's extravagant governance.

After reading it in one breath, Xiong Huai sighed with emotion: "Think about what people dare not think, what people dare not do, Guan Zi is really a sage!" ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai inexplicably remembered the news he got from Qi Guo a few days ago.

Could it be that the king of Qi used extravagant strategies in the book of Qi in the kingdom of Qi?

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment after closing the book, and suddenly asked, "Dare to ask Mr., I don't know where the two gentlemen are Jizi and Jizi?" ”

Huan Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Back to the king, now Ji Zi is doing something to King Qi, and Jiezi originally came to Chu with Lao Chen, but after arriving in Chu State, he was separated from Lao Chen. ”

Xiong Huai sat up suddenly, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. said that the son came to Chu State?" ”

"Exactly." Huan Yuan confirmed.

"Sir, do you know where the pick-up has gone?"

Huan Yuan shook his head and said, "This pick-up didn't say it, and the old minister didn't know either." ”

Xiong Huai sat down as if he was losing his strength: "It's a pity that the widow is not virtuous enough, and he couldn't meet with the great sage, which is the widow's loss." ”

Huanyuan smiled and said nothing when he saw this.

After a while, Xiong Huai reacted, and then saw that Li Qiu and the others no longer had any books in their hands, so he looked at Huan Yuan and asked: "Sir, these two classics have been received, they are indeed the artifacts of the country, and they are treasures, I don't know what Mr.'s third book is?" ”

Huan Yuan replied to the question: "Great King, after the family teacher arrived in the Qi State, he accepted many disciples, and at the invitation of Qi Hou, combined Lao Tzu with the ancient sage Yellow Emperor to create the Huang Lao School of Qi State, after decades of development, the efforts of two generations in succession of Qi State, and now the Huang Lao School of Qi State has become a doctrine that goes hand in hand with the Taoist School of my Chu State. ”

"And one of the schools of the Huang Lao School, according to the Guanzi way of governing the country in the palace of Qi, mixed with Taoist doctrine, sorted out and adapted the book "Guanzi", the "Extravagant Book" just presented by Lao Chen, if it is in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, it can also be regarded as one of the books "Guanzi".

"The third gift of the old minister is the crystallization of the wisdom of the two generations of the Huang Lao School of Qi Guo for decades, counting this half of "Luxury", a total of forty-two articles."

With a "poof", Xiong Huai let out a series of coughing sounds.

Just now he was frightened by Huan Yuan.

Xiong Huai has also heard of the book "Guanzi", which is a book co-authored by many people, and many years ago there were rumors that there was a school of Huang Lao in the Jixia School Palace of Qi that specialized in the study of pipes, and specialized in writing the deeds of pipes.

However, as one of the essences of Jixia School Palace and even Qi State, it has always been treasured by Qi State, and people from other countries only hear its name but do not see its books. Even, even the gentlemen of the Jixia School Palace, there are very few who can see the whole picture of "Pipe".

Of course, the Jixia School Palace is known as the Huang Lao School, and naturally there are books dedicated to the Yellow Emperor Laozi, which is the core of the Jixia School Palace.

Xiong Huai was relieved and exclaimed, "Could it be that Mr. has also brought the pipes of Qi back to Chu State?" ”

Huanyuan nodded.

"Dare to ask sir, where is this book now?"

Huan Yuan shook his head when he heard this, and then pointed to his head and said, "Back to the king, the old minister has put the book here." ”

Xiong Huai swallowed his saliva and said in surprise: "Mr. has written down all this book?" ”

Huan Yuan nodded, "Exactly." ”

"The old minister is not talented, thanks to the family teacher did not give up, in the early years was accepted as a disciple by the ancestor who traveled in Chu, after arriving in the Qi country, he first sorted out the "Lao Tzu" with the family teacher, and then when he was older, he evaluated the works of many gentlemen in the school palace with the sages of the school palace, read more, assessed more, and inevitably wrote down the book "Guanzi" treasured by the Qi country."

Xiong Huai: "···"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiong Huai pondered and said: "Sir, the widow heard that there is also a book on the Yellow Emperor in the Jixia School Palace of Qi State, I don't know if the widow is lucky enough to see it." ”

Huan Yuan shook his head with a smile and said: "The king pays homage to the sages, this is naturally the honor of the school palace, but the old minister is old and can't remember so much. ”

After being politely rejected by Huan Yuan, Xiong Huai laughed at himself: "It's the widow who is greedy. ”
