Chapter 306: Layout
King Xian drank a cup of Zhu Ye Qing, looked up at Emperor Chu, and asked, "Is today's banquet going well?"
The Emperor of Chu shook his head and said, "It seems that Zhou Guo came prepared and tried to humiliate Chu State with a math problem."
Seeing that there was not much resentment on Emperor Chu's face, King Xian asked, "It seems that I, Da Chu, resolved it?"
Chu Huang nodded and said: "Well, several doctors of Guozijian's calculation science have no clue about that math problem. Fortunately, Xu Qing took the timely action. Not only did this problem easily be solved, but even one problem made the entire Zhou Guoshu The group was left speechless."
King Xian nodded and said: "Although Xu Qing is not on the surface, he is still unambiguous when it comes to family and country matters. That's right, this king really admires him."
Emperor Chu: "It was I who said that anyone who can solve this problem will be rewarded with one thousand taels."
King Xian: "..."
He knew that he should never expect anything from Xu Qing...
The Emperor of Chu continued: "Now that the Zhao Kingdom's mission is about to arrive in the capital, I don't know what kind of tricks this Zhao Kingdom will come up with, but I am afraid that they will definitely find ways to belittle our Chu Kingdom and make our Great Chu fall in front of other countries. If the prestige is lost, Zhao Guo and Zhou Guo must have discussed it beforehand."
Andingbo Mansion
Xu Qing's favorability towards Emperor Chu has risen to a higher level. The reward has already been placed in the yard when he returned home. It is not at all like a virtuous king. After he told you, you have to go back and forth every now and then. He would be reminded and reminded, and maybe he would get some kickbacks.
After washing, Xu Qing returned to the bedroom. After playing with the sword for a while, Su Qian rolled up the sword in her hand and returned it to the scabbard.
The next day, the servants of Andingbo's mansion replaced a stone table and a stone lamp post with a look of resentment.
Today at the court, Zhou Guo submitted the letter of credence to the state of Chu. If Xu Qing could understand the content of the letter of credence, it would be roughly as follows:
In line with the principle of the same ancestors and descendants of Yan and Huang, Zhou State expressed sympathy for Chu State's experience last year, and sent a special mission to express condolences to Chu State's situation.
Hope Chu State will be strong, don't be afraid of any difficulties, face him bravely, come on, Ollie!
Soon, this letter of credence was typeset overnight, and it was finally published on the "Jingcheng Xunbao" on time, along with the matter of Zhou State making things difficult for Chu State at the Xichen Banquet.
Most of the people in the Chu state saw the latest issue of "Jingcheng Xunbao" and they all slapped their tables and cursed.
In a teahouse, several people in scholarly robes, holding a copy of "Beijing Xun Bao" in their hands, began to discuss:
"Where does Zhou Guoren have the slightest intention of condolences in this move? It is clearly to see a joke about my Chu country!"
"Hmph, it's fine if you don't bring a grain of rice or a penny, and you are still trying to make things difficult for me at the dust-cleaning banquet. Damn it!"
"Extremely extreme! If County Uncle An Ding hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid I'd lose face. Zhou Guozhen is a wolf with ambition! Shameless!"
At this time, a scholar wearing a lun scarf said: "I guess, Zhou Guo's mission this time is probably false, and the temptation is true! They are probably going to use the name of the mission to see me openly. What is the strength now!"
Another scholar named Zeng Yue said: "Brother Zhang's words are reasonable. At first I heard that Zhou Guo took advantage of the instability of our Great Chu State to invade our Great Chu State when the late emperor was on his way 12 years ago. Fortunately, the prince led the army to block it back and even connected the two cities of the next Zhou State. The behavior of Zhou State is really a despicable country. When I heard about this, I hated Zhou State so much! I really wanted to go to battle Kill a few Zhou thieves!"
At this time, the scholar sitting on the table next to him said: "This brother is surprised at what he said. The state of Zhou has expressed condolences to the state of Chu regardless of the past, but the state of Chu wants to treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain here. , Is the structure of my big Chu scholars like this brother?!"
The scholar who was just called Brother Zhang held up the newspaper angrily and said: "Now that the facts have already been published in the newspaper, you can still say such words! How can you say it?! What happened twelve years ago, you Did you forget?!"
The scholar took a sip of tea and said, "Brother, what you see is only what the imperial court wants you to see. There must be a pattern in life. History is not for us to hate others and take revenge on others, but to motivate ourselves. This is what I am. The pattern that a scholar of the previous generation should have."
This kind of remark made the students teeth itch when they heard it, but they didn't know how to refute it. If they opened their mouths and kept their mouths shut to suppress others, if they responded, wouldn't it be a sign of losing the pattern?
Even after hearing this person's exposition, some people felt a little shaken in their original ideas.
Just when everyone was glaring, only a crisp sound appeared:
"Snapped!"
Zeng Yue slapped the scholar just now on the face, the self-reliant scholar couldn't react in time, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, his face was swollen, and the five palm prints were clearly visible.
The scholar said angrily, "How dare you hit me?!"
Speaking of that, the scholar stretched out his fist and was about to hit Zeng Yue, but he was quickly pulled away by the reacting scholar to persuade him, "Peace is the most important thing, peace is the most important thing!"
The scholar obviously didn't buy it, but he was held back and couldn't move, so he could only yell: "You dare to hit me, do you know who I am?! I remember you!"
Zeng Yue shrugged and said: "Why is this brother so angry? Didn't brother say that history is not used to hate others but to motivate own? Why do you hate me so much? Just motivate yourself. Doesn't Xiongtai lose his own pattern with such a shameful and angry attitude?"
Immediately, the scholar was speechless, and could only yell angrily: "You wait, you wait! Don't leave if you have the ability! If I can't take off your leg today, I will follow you!" surname!"
Zeng Yue was slightly taken aback when he heard this, as if he didn't believe that there would be such a bold person in Beijing: "You, you dare to threaten others in the capital?"
At this moment, a hand was placed on the scholar's shoulder, and under the tremendous force, the scholar's body became stiff, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
Xiao Ye looked at him expressionlessly: "You want to take off someone else's leg?"
The scholar's body was continuously bent downward by Xiao Ye's palm, and he could only forcefully threaten: "You...do you know who my father is?! My father is the newly appointed Cangbu Division doctor! Take it away Your dirty hands! Ah!"
Xiao Ye tightened his palms, nodded, and murmured to himself, "So it's a newcomer, no wonder the hand feels so strange."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ye waved his hand casually, and the man in the appearance of a scholar flew upside down from the teahouse and fell down on the road outside.
After finishing these, Xiao Ye clapped his hands: "Now I'm familiar."
