Wu Zixu sighed, looking a little lonely, the rise of a dynasty can always unite at the beginning, but with the growth of the dynasty, this united heart gradually disappears: "Yin, you are right, with the growing strength of the Qi State over the years, these manifestations have become more and more serious, and it was previously strongly pressed by the old man, no one dared to be too presumptuous, but the old man is old, and the old man and the king have no way."

Chen Yin didn't hesitate at all after listening to Wu Zixu's words, he shook his head and said: "Lao Xiangguo has a way, but he doesn't have the courage to be the first in the world, isn't it?" ”

"You!" Wu Zixu stood up when he heard this, and he glared at Chen Yin with big eyes.

Lu Di twisted his eyebrows, he glanced at Wu Zixu, and didn't say anything.

Chen Yin continued: "In fact, the method king has already existed and practiced it, but the king has not formed a system."

"Oh?" Lu Di looked at Chen Yin curiously, but he didn't know what he had practiced, which could break the absolute monopoly of the current aristocracy on rights and land.

"Isn't it a way for the king to hear that there are virtuous and talented people, and he will make an exception to make him an official?" Chen Yin pointed to himself with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Lu Di is not calm at the moment, he completely understands what Chen Yin means, he wants to turn this accidental exception into a system, the inspection system, or the recommendation system.

Although this system is much more backward than the imperial examination system, it is undoubtedly the best system, the best, and the most suitable system for the times in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

He can not only break the monopoly of the aristocracy, but also help the governance of the country.

The strength of the Han Dynasty has proven the correctness of this system.

"Mr.'s name is Yin, and he is from the old Chen, right? Gu Ci named you the Chen family, and the county guard of Yingchuan County, I hope you don't live up to Lone's high hopes" Lu Di's eyes shook for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice.

When Chen Yin heard this, he knelt down with a thud and thanked him: "Thank you for the king's gift, your subordinates will definitely die as if they were home."

As soon as Lu Di spoke, he suddenly looked a little stunned, could it be that the person in front of him was the Chen Yin recorded in the history books? Oh my God, I didn't expect it to be named myself!

What Lu Di didn't know was that his move personally created the first prestigious family in Yingchuan County in the future, the Chen family.

And his descendant Chen Qun created the nine-grade Zhongzheng system on the basis of the inspection system, which is a later story.

Chen Yin was given the title of Chen, and the news of the county guard of Yingchuan County soon spread within the camp of Qi State, and everyone was shocked, and they jointly wrote a letter to advise, but they were all suppressed by Lu Di.

Seeing this, everyone was helpless, so they gave up.

The next day, news came from Song Ying's side, Song Jinggong wanted to meet with Lu Di, and Lu Di agreed.

On the banks of the water, in a makeshift pavilion. Lu Di and Song Jinggong knelt down in front of each other. On the golden silk nanmu wood case between the two, the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Compared with the Song Jinggong that Lu Di saw many years ago, Song Jinggong is now old.

"Touman, how are you doing?" Lu Di poured a cup of tea for Song Jinggong.

I thought that the Song Jing Guild would be furious, after all, when the Qi and Song chasms were confronted, Lu Di joked that his son was also called Touman, and it had already been rumored all over the world and became a popular joke.

But Song Jinggong sighed, looked at Lu Di and said, "King Qi, is it interesting to make ethical jokes?" ”

Lu Di was speechless for a while, he looked at Song Jinggong, and said in his heart, one of the most outstanding monarchs in the history of the Song Kingdom, it seems that he is really old.

Song Jinggong looked at Lu Di, who was past the age of confusion, he was still the same as the one he met many years ago, he was so young and handsome, even the stubble was glowing black, it was so beautiful!

The two looked at each other, and there was no way to say a thousand words.

"King Song, but if you encounter any difficulties, if you are alone, you will definitely help you" Lu Di was silent for a long time, and finally said with a beard.

Song Jinggong smiled when he heard this, then stared at Lu Di's dark eyes, and said solemnly: "King Qi, can you promise the widow that you will not start a war with the Song State in your lifetime?" ”

In your lifetime, don't go to war with the Song Kingdom?

Lu Di shook his head in his heart, the Song State is the largest country in the Central Plains, if he Lu Di wants to make the Central Plains, the first thing to win is the Song State, and if he doesn't go to war with the Song State, is it possible? Unless, of course, the Song State surrenders on its own initiative.

Is it just that the Song Dynasty, which is a turtle character, will surrender?

"King Song, as long as the Song State lives up to the Qi State, there is no reason for the Qi State to go to war against the Song State," Lu Di said.

Song Jinggong laughed and did not speak, but waved his hand behind him, and soon a young man who seemed to have walked out of the milk bath walked in.

Lu Di looked at the jade boy in front of him, and wondered in his heart, in his memory, he didn't seem to have heard of Song Jinggong's ** habit, of course, this handsome young man could not be Song Jinggong's son.

The reason is that although Song Jinggong is benevolent and eloquent, his body is crippled, and he has no heirs of his own.

It's just that now that such a delicate young man has popped up in front of him, how can he not make Lu Di wonder.

Lu Di didn't know what Song Jinggong wanted to do, he silently watched everything in front of him, hoping to get Song Jinggong's answer.

The young man first saluted Song Jinggong and shouted, "I have a (father's meaning)." Song Jinggong nodded, and the young man turned to Lu Di again and saluted the king.

Lu Di didn't know what the young man meant, he just helped the young man up, let him be exempt, and gave him a jade pendant.

The young man didn't dare to take it, and looked at Song Jinggong, Song Jinggong nodded, and then the young man took the jade pendant shyly, and then stood quietly behind Song Jinggong.

Song Jing said fairly: "King Qi, you must be very puzzled, who is this young man, right?" ”

Lu Di nodded, and Song Jing said fairly: "This young man's name is Qi, and he is one of the adopted sons of the widow. ”

"It's one of them, but it's the one that the widow loves the most"

"The widow intends to let him inherit the widow's rule"

Song Jinggong said this, put down the teacup, and looked at Lu Di.

Lu Di's heart was very complicated at this time, he had already vaguely guessed what Song Jinggong wanted to do, but why did Song Jinggong believe in himself so much? Isn't he afraid, one day, to use Kai himself?

Qi, Lu Di saw this name by chance in ancient documents in later generations, but it was said that he was the grandson of Song Jinggong's younger brother Gongzi Jue Qin, the adopted son of Song Jinggong, and later became the crown prince, but in the end he was killed by another adopted son of Song Jinggong in the "Lianzhongguan Coup", Te, that is, Qi's brother.

It is also the Emperor Zhaogong of the Song Dynasty, the monarch of the Song State who once reused Mozi.

"King Song, this is your internal affair, why do you talk to Lone? Today we will only talk about the territory of Chen Cai. Lu Di didn't want to ink, so he explained the immediate interests first.

Song Jinggong did not follow Lu Di's words, but said by himself: "The widow is dying, but this Song State is controlled by the three clans and six kings at this time, and it is already a mess, if the widow dies one day, this Song Kingdom will definitely be in chaos, because Qi He can't control the situation in the Song Kingdom."

"But the widow doesn't want the Song Kingdom to be in turmoil, and he doesn't want to hand it over to Qi a mess, King Qi, do you understand the widow's mind?"
