Geng Zhong agreed and was about to leave, when Yan Zhong came and said to Gao Yuan: "My lord, someone who claims to be the brother of the Fa family, Shen Shen, and asks to see your lord. ”

Gao Yuan was stunned, he had seen Shen Shen at Zhao Jia's house, but the two basically didn't have much verbal communication, and since that time, he hasn't had any contact with Shen Shen again, what did he do when he came to find himself? If it was some time ago, it would be reasonable, after all, there was still an official position of a doctor on the plateau at that time, but it was impossible for Shen Shen not to know what happened this morning, and he would definitely not be able to be a doctor, and maybe he would be condemned as a rebel by Zhao Guo, so he came to find Zisi at this time, what would happen.

However, when someone came to him, Gao Yuan couldn't be missing, so he nodded and said, "Okay, please let him in." ”

After a while, Shen Shen was led to the lobby by Yan Zhong and met Gao Yuan. After the two sides saluted, Gao Yuan said, "Mr. Shen came to me, is there anything wrong?"

Shen Shen said: "I came here to defect to the adult. ”

"Defection?" Gao Yuan was also stunned and went to himself, in fact, he was willing to be his own doorman. Of course, in this era, this is a very normal thing, because although in this era, ordinary civilians can directly write to the monarch, explain their academic thoughts, gain the appreciation of the monarch, and then enter the court as an official, but this opportunity is very small, after all, the monarch of a country has many government affairs, and it is impossible to read any cat and dog book seriously, unless it is recognized by the world.

And generally talented and unfamous people, will go to a powerful, high-ranking official or celebrity, and then they recommend it to the monarch, this road is relatively easier to take, because it is always easier to see high-ranking officials than to see the monarch, and the general high-ranking officials have the responsibility of recommending talents like the monarch. In the Warring States Period, in fact, many famous ministers embarked on the road of guò, such as Shang Ying, Zhang Yi, Zhao Hao, Lin Xiangru and others. Therefore, it is reasonable for Shen Shen to defect to the door of the plateau as a guest, but now does not seem to be the time.

Shen Shen said: "The last time I met with the adults in Gongzijia's mansion, although the adults did not speak much at that time, but they cut to the essence of the two schools of Confucianism, in the past two months, I have been thinking about what the adults said, and I consciously understand the Confucianism, and I have made great progress, all thanks to the words of the adults, so I am willing to serve the adults." In the future, I will be able to listen to the opinions of adults. ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "What kind of high opinion do I have, it's just that the bystander Qing can have such a saying, if it is really about learning, I am still far from Mr. and Mr. Tian and Mr. Gongsun that day, so in academics, I am afraid I can't help Mr. anything?" If my husband defects to me for academic reasons, I am afraid that he will be disappointed. ”

Shen Shen hurriedly said: "I am willing to join the adult's door, not all because of the adult's knowledge, but because I deeply admire the adult's personality." Moreover, the adult is the star of the world, and the future is bound to be great, so he is willing to invest in the adult door in order to seek future development. ”

Gao Yuan looked at Shen Shen, and after a long while, he said: "I also tell the truth, the saying that the star is coming to the world is nonsense at all, and I am just an ordinary man, although I now have the official rank of a doctor, but I have not been an official for a long time, and I have no foundation in the court, and what happened today, Mr. should also know that I am very likely to be regarded as a traitor by Zhao State, and I will be destroyed by the king in the sky, so at this time, it is not a good thing for you to cast under my door." If you are seeking development, it is better to join Gongzijia's disciples, and you may be able to find a half-official position. ”

Shen Shen shook his head and said: "My lord can say this, which shows that my lord is bright and open, treats people with sincerity, and tells the truth to my lord in the next, if I really ask for an official and a half position, I can still do it with my self-confidence, but now that Zhao Guo is in charge, and there are traitorous ministers in power, if you are an official at this time, you will either do nothing, or offend the power traitor, and it is difficult to perform, so you can study as a career in Xia Ning, and you don't want to become an official." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "If Zhao Guo can't do what Mr. wants, then why doesn't Mr. turn to another country?" I remember that Mr. was not from Zhao, but from Korea, so he didn't have to stick to a corner of Zhao. ”

Shen Shen smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't hide it from my lord, it's not that I haven't thought about switching to other families, but now that Korea is dead, and Wei has never valued talents, when Xinling Jun is the son of Wei, it is not yet compatible, let alone outsiders; Yan Guo regards itself as a remnant of the Zhou family, sticks to the etiquette of the ancestors, does not think about change, if it is not remote, I am afraid that the country will die long ago; Although the state of Chu is large, it is also a corner of the country, and it is more than enough to defend it, but it is not enough to forge ahead, and within the state of Chu, it is controlled by the wealthy families, intriguing with each other, and it is not a place where they can display their talents; The academic prosperity of Qi State, and the Jixia School Palace, the scholar's pomp is the most in the world, but the situation is similar to Zhao State, Qi Wangjian is weak, mediocre can be compared to Zhao Wangqian, Xiangguo Housheng controls the government, and its traitor is not under Guo Kai, and Qi people are so empty, not pragmatic, and it is difficult to make great achievements. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Mr. has done a very deep study of the situation of various countries, but Mr. has not mentioned the Qin State, the Qin State is still the law, and Mr. is a disciple of the Legalists, and it is a useful place in the Qin State, and the countries mentioned by Mr. just now are insufficient, and the Qin State does not seem to have any, hasn't Mr. thought about going to the Qin State to develop?" ”

Shen Shen said: "The conditions of the Qin State are indeed stronger than the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in all aspects, but now the Qin State is full of talents, and the long history of the Qin State Li Si is the master of the Legalist family, and there is no name and no virtue in the next, even if it is in the Qin State, it is difficult to get ahead." ”

Gao Yuan said: "But I also said it just now, now I can't protect myself, and my husband has defected to my door, and it seems that there is no way out." ”

Shen Shen shook his head and said, "My lord is joking, now that Handan City is being controlled by Wu Anjun, as long as Wu Anjun gives an order, he can enter the palace at any time, how can my lord be unable to protect himself?" ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "So Mr. thinks that Wu Anjun will enter the palace?" ”

Shen Shen said: "I don't think so, Wu Anjun has always been loyal to Zhao Guo, and he will never do anything to rebel against Zhao Guo and kill King Zhao." And if Wu Anjun really wanted to kill King Zhao, when he raised troops to threaten the palace in the morning, he could go into the palace, and he would not withdraw his troops and just control Handan City. Therefore, I think Wu Anjun will never enter the palace. ”

Gao Yuan listened, and was a little surprised, this Shen Shen's disagreement with Li Mu's character and the current situation is still very reasonable, and he is not an ordinary scholar who is just immersed in his studies, so he also said: "So in your opinion, what will Wu Anjun do next?" ”

Shen Shen said: "What Wu Anjun will do, it is difficult to figure out below, but in my opinion, the best thing for Wu Anjun is to leave Handan and retreat to Daijun to govern." Because now in Handan City, the forces of all parties are complicated, and Wu Anjun is a general stationed abroad, and he has no power in the court, so even if Wu Anjun enters the palace, kills Guo Kai, and sets aside King Zhao, but the Zhao clan, other forces will never obey him, and Qin will inevitably take the opportunity to attack Zhao State, Wu Anjun will stay in Handan, and he will only advance and retreat, and he will be in a dilemma. And Wu Anjun has been stationed in Daijun for many years, and he has won the hearts of the people of Daijun, and now the army under Wu Anjun is also the local people of Daijun, so Wu Anjun can guarantee absolute dominance in Daijun, and with the current power of Zhao State, there is no way to take him, even if the Qin army breaks through Handan and destroys Zhao in the future, Wu Anjun can still use the power of Daijun to resist the Qin army, and then unite with other countries to resist Qin, with Wu Anjun's military talent, it is not impossible to defeat the Qin army, and then enter to restore the Zhao State and establish himself as the king, Retreat can be based on the county of Shoudai, or it can be called a party. This is a little bit of a simple opinion below, which can be used as a reference for adults. ”

Gao Yuan was also greatly surprised, because Shen Shen's construction was almost no different from Ning Qi's three strategies, and he had already thought of his plans after arriving in Daijun, Shen Shen was about thirty years old, and he was able to see this step, so he really had some talent. I didn't even think of this point, and now Gao Yuan is indeed a little confused about the future development, but when I heard Shen Shen say this, I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. If you can really get Shen Shen under your own disciples, then you will definitely be able to use it in the future.

Shen Shen said again: "And Wu Anjun has no children, Zhao Guo knows everything, the adult and Wu Anjun's young lady are in love, and Handan knows everything, so after a hundred years of Wu Anjun, only the adult can inherit the foundation left by Wu Anjun, even if the adult cannot inherit the foundation of Wu Anjun, it will inevitably be an important minister under Wu Anjun. ”

Gao Yuan not only smiled, this guy is really frank, but also very thoughtful, even he and Li Yinghong married, and can inherit Li Mu's foundation in the future, but this is also the biggest difference between Legalism and Confucianism, Legalism is more pragmatic, can choose different approaches according to the different situations, and Confucianism will only cling to morality, benevolence and righteousness, and it doesn't matter whether it is appropriate or not.

Gao Yuan said: "Although there is some truth in what Mr. thinks, but Mr. has not thought about it, the world is unpredictable, changeable, and the situation may not be able to develop as Mr. expected, so Mr. will not only have no chance of getting ahead, but may bring death to Mr., so please Mr. Shen think twice." ”

Shen Shen also smiled, because Gao Yuan said this, in fact, he had already accepted his defection, and said: "If you really get to that point, you will admit it in the next place, but it is better than doing nothing for a lifetime." ”

Gao Yuan also smiled and said: "Okay, since Mr. Shen is so frank, then it will be too unkind for me to refuse, if the situation really develops as Mr. Shen expected, I will never treat Mr. Shen badly." ”
