When the servant ushered the old friend in, Wu Qi sat on his knees and sat on his knees, his sword on his knees.

didn't get up to greet him, and after Sheng Xuan came in, he also knelt directly opposite Wu Qi, and was naturally divided into guests and hosts.

The servant stood aside, but Shengqiu ignored the etiquette and shouted, "How can we see each other without wine?" Pour the wine quickly. ”

The servant glanced at Wu Qi, and when he saw that Wu Qi did not signal opposition, he was also impressed by Shengxuan's bearing, and turned around and went out to get wine.

For a moment, the wine arrived.

Two people who fought in Lu twenty years ago, and those who fought in Luoyin a few years ago, did not mention those old things after they met.

After drinking it all, Wu Qi just asked indifferently.

"Although you rebelled against Mo, the Mo family argued for profit. If you come, will you have Eliwu? ”

Sheng Xuan put down the wine cup, and the servant poured it himself.

He looked at Wu Qi and asked lightly: "Hundred people are profitable, thousands of people are profitable." There are businessmen who take pearls and jade as treasures, and there are Surabaya inks that take benevolence and righteousness as treasures. I don't know what is in your eyes, and how can I say what is good for you? ”

Sheng Xuan's words changed, and he suddenly said: "There is a person who has such a merit: he will make the three armies happy to death, and the enemy country will not dare to plan; govern hundreds of officials, pro-people, the treasury is full and prepare for famine; Guarding the West River and the Qin soldiers did not dare to go east, Han Zhaobin followed. The battle Liang beheaded the four of Chu Zhigui, the first of the Yin Dynasty, and the twenty cities. ”

"Do you know who this person is?"

Wu Qi smiled and said, "This is me." ”

Sheng Xuan sighed with emotion: "Although I dare not compare this kind of merit with Zhou Gong, it is not much different from Guan Zhong. Then your power in Wei may be comparable to Guan Yiwu? ”

He didn't ask about ability, but directly asked about power, Wu Qi shook his head, this is a question that doesn't need to be answered.

Because Guan Zhong was called "Middle Father" by Qi Huan. Uncle Ji, the middle father is his father's eldest brother, his eldest uncle, in other words, "second father".

Because Guan Zhong has always been trusted and has never been suspected, and because Qi Huan Gong died by hiding his face and dying, because he felt ashamed to see Guan Zhong under Jiuquan.

More critically...... Guan Zhong shot Qi Huan Gong and almost killed him.

Sheng Xuan asked again: "If you don't have Guan Zhong, when you were in Qi Huan, you made such a meritorious service and had this virtuous ability, wouldn't you be able to become a 'middle father'?" ”

These words are instigating.

Wu Qi has been depressed in the past three years, but at this time, he only sighed and said: "This is the reason why Qi Huan has become a hegemon, a prince, and Kuang Zhuxia." ”

Sheng Xuan took the wine cup and drank it all, and then laughed and said: "The rules have changed, and the world is chaotic." It's not that there is no character like Qi Huan in the world, but Qi Huan doesn't dare to be Qi Huan now! ”

This was the first time Wu Qi had heard this, and he knew that although Sheng Xuan rebelled against Mo, he was originally a figure within the Mo family. To be able to fight with him and draw with him, and to be able to defend Luo Yin and force him to retreat when he was in a panic through the Luoshui Qin people, he naturally gave enough respect.

So he made a petition and asked, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Sheng Xuan said leisurely: "At that time, when I was still an ink scholar, I once said that the world is all for the benefit. He is a man who has always liked to speculate on the nobles and princes and ministers with the darkest minds, this is ...... I don't have anything to disagree with. ”

"You learned from Zeng Shen, Zeng Shen learned from Zuo Qiu Ming, you know history."

"The human heart is unpredictable, I will only say a hypothesis. If Guan Zhong had the intention of usurping the throne at that time, could he do it? ”

Wu Qi thought for a moment and said, "No." The Qi Huan clan is powerful, and there are two clans of Gao and Guo. ”

Katsui nodded and said, "One more thing." Before Qi Huan, could there be people who took the country without being a public clan? ”

Wu Qi shook his head, and Shengqiu said again: "Yes, the rules were still in place at that time. Non-princes cannot seek the position of king. For the sake of their own interests, the princes are also resolutely opposed to such a thing in the world, and they are protecting their own status by protecting the rules of superiority and inferiority. ”

"But...... Bi Wan is just a puppet, and now his descendants are Wei. Chen Tian destroyed the country and died of Qi, and now the Qi people only know the Tian clan but do not know the Marquis of Qi...... They did it themselves, and no one came out to stop them when they broke the rules of the world. ”

"Zhongni I, in fact, is running around to prevent such a thing from happening, and now the world is really in chaos."

"Giant...... No, Mo Zhai is running around the world, just knowing that the chaos in the world is irreparable, and he can't go back, so he can only think of future solutions in this situation. ”

"The purpose of these two people is to stabilize the world, but they take different paths. But at this point, Jonny's path is no longer possible. ”

"The matter of taking the country, Han Zhao Weitian, they can do it, why can't others do it? Even if Guan Zhong is resurrected, if there is the trend of the past, there is a world with no rules now...... It is one thing to do such a thing as taking the country and seeking the country, and it is another thing to do it or not, and it is another thing to do it or not. ”

"It's like I'm spreading rumors everywhere now that you like to eat people and want to eat everyone in the world, will people be afraid?"

Wu shook his head.

Sheng Xuan said: "But I just spread the rumor that you may take the country and plot to usurp it, but some people believe it." But the same rumor, two hundred years ago, when the rules and rituals still existed, no one believed it, because you couldn't do it then. It's the same thing. ”

"Because you have to eat all the people of the world, it can't happen. And you may take the country and usurp it, such a thing may happen. People don't watch out for the impossible, but they have to watch out for what might happen. ”

"You are a tiger, and if you tell people that I don't eat people, even if you tell the truth, will people be defenseless?"

Sheng Xuan did not shy away from the fact that he had spread rumors about Wu Qi in a big way, and Wu Qi also knew that Sheng Qi had spread rumors about himself, so the slandered and the injured could look at each other and smile and not care.

Sheng Xuan asked the servant to add wine again, and laughed: "But although Gongzi is proud and can't trust people, he is not stupid. So there are some rumors, and he won't believe them. Therefore, I made up two that sounded more believable...... Or the rumor that you can do it if you want to. ”

In the midst of laughter, under the angry glare of the servant, Katsuki proudly stretched out two fingers.

"First, I said that you want to attack Qin, in order to be sealed in Qin in the future, or to support the young Qin Jun for a year after entering Qin, to take charge of Zhongqi Huan's affairs, to lead the government of Qin, and to be the middle father of Qin."

"Second, say that after you defeat the State of Chu in Daliang City, those two Chu kings will see your talent. When the time comes, I will worship you as a phase and be determined to change. I complimented you on those ...... before For example, the three armies will be happy to die, and the enemy country will not dare to plan; govern hundreds of officials, pro-people, the treasury is full and prepare for famine; Guarding the West River and the Qin soldiers did not dare to go east, Han Zhaobin followed. The battle Liang beheaded Chu and ruled the fourth, the first of the dynasty Yin, and the next twenty cities...... These are threats to Childe's strike. ”

"Do you know these two rumors, why are they credible? Why am I too lazy to spread rumors that you might seek power in the Wei State? ”

Wu Qi still smiled and asked, "Please ask." ”

Sheng Xuan didn't answer directly, but asked, "Can the Wei State be considered powerful now?" ”

Wu Qi said yes and said: "Han Zhao Bincong, the Qin people did not dare to go east, the Qi people did not dare to repair the Great Wall when they demolished it, and the Chu State was divided into two and was in a difficult situation. It can be called powerful, this is the inheritance of the overlord. ”

Sheng Xuan smiled: "So you can't be the prime minister in the Wei State." You're at the top of your current Nishikawamori, and you can't go any further. ”

Wu Qi was puzzled, and Sheng Sui asked, "If you are a prime minister, will you do nothing?" ”

Wu Qi said slightly: "If I am the prime minister, I naturally want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, how can I do nothing?" ”

Sheng Xuan clapped his hands and said: "So if you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, it is impossible to be a prime minister." What Wei needs now is not to change and become strong, but to be stable. If you are the prime minister, it is necessary to change again, weaken the feudal monarchy, collect the monarch's power, innovate the land power, be virtuous, reward farming, expand the military pawns, and reduce the power of the feudal monarch and the secretary...... Isn't this Wei country going to be in chaos? ”

"Great chaos can be ruled, but for Wei...... As you said, Wei has suppressed Qin in the west and forced Qi in the east, and suppressed Chu in the south while Han Zhao was subdued, so Wei Hou is more willing to maintain stability? Or does it have to change? ”

"It's already so powerful, so what else is there to change? If it doesn't get good, the smoke will rise, the clan will be angry, and the woe will be Xiao Wall. So the more you want to do things, the more you can't do it. ”

"If you are a waste, you will do nothing, but you don't have the blood of the Guiqing family, so you still can't be a prime minister."

"On the contrary, you are talented and capable, you know the army and govern, and you want to restore the country and strengthen the army, but you still can't be a prime minister."

Wu Qi heard such an analysis for the first time, but instead of laughing and thinking it was nonsense, he was silent for a long time, took a sip of spirits, and asked: "As you say, it makes sense." This is like a dying person, Chang Sangjun personally looks at it, thinking that he needs to break his limbs and heal, and this person mostly accepts it. But if a strong person is told that he has a hidden disease and needs urgent treatment, he may not believe it? ”

"As you say, where can I be a prime minister?"

Sheng Yu laughed when he heard this, laughed for a long time, and then said, "You have already heard those two rumors just now." Why do those two rumors attract the belief of others? Because those two rumors are possible, others will believe them. ”

"The Three Jin Alliances have not yet been broken, and Han Zhaobin is subject to Wei. So, even if Han Zhao knows your talent, how can he make you a prime minister? They didn't dare. ”

"The Marquis of Qi is still here, Tian He is just a phase, if you become a phase, then how should Tian He deal with himself? So no. ”

"The Mo family is in Sishang, full of talents, has its own theory, and has its own reason. And the internal organization is tight, for the gathering of righteousness that the giant needs, you can't serve the public in Surabaya. So delusional. ”

Sheng Xuan first said four places where it was impossible for Wu Qi to display his ambitions, and here he did not mention the Yan State, nor did he mention the Yue State, except for the Wei State itself and Qin Chu, who spread rumors, there was one more Surabaya Mo family.

In Shengxuan's eyes, the Mo family has become one of the Seven Heroes of the Troubled Times. And Yan Guo ...... At this time, they are not qualified to participate in the dispute in the Central Plains at all.

The rise of the Yan State is thanks to the swallowing of Yan by the Qi State, which broke the ancient system of the Yan State, and the King of Yan after the restoration of the country completed the reform of the centralized system with his prestige and military power, and the Qi State helped the Yan State to clean up the domestic feudal nobles. But now, Yan Kingdom is still just a soy sauce maker for the countries of the Central Plains.

Yan Guo's surname is Ji, it is really a living fossil-like country, without the Qi State invading Yan, Yan Country will have no chance to be reborn.

Now it is the Surabaya Mo family that replaces the original Seven Heroes, and even South Korea is not even counted at this time, because Korea has not yet annexed Zheng Guo, and it is still a country that can be opened with Zheng Guo before the split.
