Don't steal a man from me

King Xi adopted the remonstrance of Hanzhangjun Mei Ziyu, carried out reforms, recruited scholars, studied in the palace, practiced benevolent government, and lectured on Confucian classics.

For a time, scholars from various schools came to Xixi, and Linyi, the capital of the country, was a thriving ideological and academic scene. After the annual Spring Ceremony, literati and inkmen would gather together to hold a folk gathering. Scholars from various schools They will sit together to discuss a current affairs issue, and every year there will be eloquent speakers with unique views stand out.

The princes and kings of various countries will also pay close attention to this annual gathering to find talents for governing the world for their own country. Therefore, scholars studying hard in the cold window attach great importance to this gathering. Due to their personal resources, the scholars affectionately called this meeting "clear talk meeting".

Every year, a well-recognized sage presided over the meeting. King Shanglie’s three-year meeting was hosted by Hanzhangjun Meihao. He has presided over four consecutive meetings. He was the chairperson of the talk for five consecutive terms.

"My lord, Mr. Xun is waiting outside." The servant boy came into the room to announce.

"Yes, I got it." Mei Hao covered his body with a green shirt, picked up the folding fan on the wooden table, turned around and nodded, "Let's go, the discussion meeting should begin."

Outside the Mei Mansion, a car was parked at the bottom of the steps. Xun Yan was wearing a stone blue shirt, with a white jade crown in his hair and a long body. When he saw Mei Hao, he stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to seeing you here." , let's go." As she said, holding Mei Hao's hand, there was an unconcealable smile and joy in her almond eyes.

Mei Hao smiled, pulled back his hands and bowed in salute: "This year I troubled you to arrange the venue again, Mei Hao thank you here."

"Where are so many red tapes, let's go." Xun Yan frowned displeasedly, stepped forward and pulled Mei Hao into the car.

The coachman raised his whip and let out a long yo-heh sound. The two horses neighed, and they ran forward after thumping their hooves twice.

Inside the car, Xun Yan snuggled into Mei Hao's arms, looked up at his tense cheeks, and said with a smile, "There are only you and me in the car, why are you sitting so upright?"

"The etiquette should not be messed up." Mei Hao sighed almost inaudibly, and said, "Third Master, please sit down."

Xun Yan let out a "tsk". Over the years, Mei Hao has faded away from his youthful innocence, but has become more and more rigid about etiquette. farther and farther.

"Look at me." Xun Yan sat up and looked at Mei Hao.

Helplessly, Mei Hao hooked the corners of her lips, and turned her head to meet Xun Yan's eyes.

"What people want in life is to do whatever they want without restraint. If they are bound by those rules, are they still human? How is that different from a bird in a cage? You please me, and I will follow you wholeheartedly. Why do you care what the world thinks?" What about it?" Xun Yan asked in a low voice.

He lowered his brows and eyes, and the faint anger and unwillingness in his eyes rippled layer by layer like ripples. He was a little disappointed and a little envious and said: "The king of Chu is Zhao Wenjun and has never married a wife or concubine. You know, Chu Yunqi is the king of a country and he can still do not care about the world's opinions, why do you value the benevolence, righteousness and etiquette stipulated by Long Nanzi so much?"

Mei Hao frowned. He felt uncomfortable when Xun Yan commented on his teacher like this. He sighed and said, "In today's world, rituals and music have collapsed, what a teacher does is to teach people to know etiquette, to understand shame, to be kind and righteous." Etiquette is the basic quality of a gentleman, if everyone does not observe etiquette, how can our civilization survive?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Xun Yan's eyes, he hooked the corners of his lips, leaned against Mei Hao's arms, held his hand and said, "Don't be angry."

Mei Hao shook his head, looked down at him and smiled, let Xun Yan lean into his arms and said, "I'm not angry."

The symposium was held by the Yishui River in the north of Linyi City. A straw mat was spread on the three steps made of soil, and a black jade table was placed on the straw mat. This is where the host sat. Sit in a fan shape around the presiding platform.

Mei Hao stepped onto the host stage slowly, raised his sleeves and bowed to the scholars of various schools. After some "reciprocity", Mei Hao sat down beside the desk. Du Qinyan stood behind him, and the scholars of various schools took their seats one after another. , the master of ceremonies announced loudly: "Shang Lie Wang's three-year Linyi symposium will now begin—"

Gongsun Xing, the son of the Mohist Chen Guoshi, stood up, cupped his hands and bowed to Mei Hao, saying: "I, King Chen, have done my best for the country. When Hanoi suffered a severe drought, my king moved the people to Hedong. If there is a severe drought in Hedong, we will The king moved the people to Hanoi. I have been in the country of Ji for three years. I inspected the government of the country of Ji. The king of Ji did not have my king's intentions. However, why did the people of our country Chen not increase, and the people of neighboring countries did not move far to live in our country? ?”

Mei Hao bowed his hand in return, smiled and said: "The two countries are at war, and the soldiers abandoned their chariot armor and fled. Some stopped after running a hundred steps, some stopped after running fifty steps, and stopped after fifty steps. How about laughing at a hundred steps?"

Gongsun Xingdao: "Escape from battle, no matter how many steps you take, it's considered an escape."

Mei Hao said with a smile: "Mr. understands this, very good. Chen Wangzhi's heart for the country and Ji Wang's heart for the country are just fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps. If it doesn't violate the farming season, the grain can be harvested in abundance. Unrestrained fishing of fish and shrimp, the fish and turtles cannot be eaten, and entering the mountains and forests according to the seasons to cut down trees, then the tree resources can be inexhaustible. In this way, the grains and fish and turtles cannot be eaten, and the wood cannot be used. Then the people can live and work in peace and contentment, no longer worry about not having enough food and clothing, and the people can maintain their health at ease, so why worry about the number of people in a country will not be many?"

Gongsun Xing was ashamed and blushed. He bowed his hands and said, "Han Zhangjun's words are right, and Gongsun Xing is taught."

Mei Hao continued: "In a five-acre house, if you plant mulberry trees, you can harvest silk to make clothes when you are 50 years old. If you raise chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and other livestock, you will not worry about not being able to eat meat when you are 70 years old. Don't disturb me." Farming, the common people can cultivate intensively, the harvested grain can feed a large family, establish government schools, teach filial piety, benevolence and righteousness to the common people, the elders are respected, and the young are cared for, how can such a country not be strong?"

After saying this, the scholars from all schools clapped their hands and applauded, and Mei Hao stood up and bowed his hands in salute.

Mei Hao's question to Gongsun Xing is very detailed. This is the famous "Hanzhang Jun's Question to Gongsun Xing" recorded in the history books.

After reading the transcript of the meeting, the princes and kings sighed with emotion. It is only natural that Xiguo has such a great man as Mr. Hanzhang, and the country is prosperous and strong.

In April of the third year of King Shanglie, Quyang, the capital of the whole country, was destroyed.

"I think that if my king wants to dominate the Central Plains, he should first form an alliance with the Chu State and attack the Xi State with the three kingdoms of Chen, Ji, Song and Wei. After the Xi State is destroyed, the eastern power, and then attack the Chu State with a joint strategy. .” Feng Qing came out of the row and bowed his hands in salute.

"Oh?" Huiwen raised his eyebrows, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Why don't you form an alliance with Xi and attack Chu first?"

Feng Qing said with a smile: "Chu Mo is like brothers and sisters, if you attack Chu Mo, you must help him, and I will face the enemy wholeheartedly, no."

"Hmph...how can there be brotherhood and brotherhood in a world of great conflict? Aiqing is named after the flesh of Jingming, let alone two powerful countries?" Attack Chu."

"I am Wang Shengming." Feng Qing bowed his hands and saluted, then returned to the court and said nothing.

In the third year of King Shanglie, King Qing married his daughter, Princess Huayang, to Hanzhangjun Mei Hao of Xiguo. The wedding was presided over by King Xi himself. On April [-], the wedding ceremony was held.

Every household in Linyi City hangs red lanterns and decorates the pillars with red brocade. Ten miles of red makeup is congratulated by all the people. Everyone says that Mr. Hanzhang and Princess Huayang are both talented and beautiful, and they are really a natural match.

When all the people in Linyi City were celebrating, no one noticed that on the Sanzhang stage, someone was singing the play "Shangxie" in a wedding dress.

"I want to know you, and my longevity will never end. There are no hills in the mountains, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer. The heaven and the earth are united, so I dare to die with you."

Who had tears falling from the corners of their eyes, whose singing voice kept turning and turning, who drew his sword and stabbed him in the chest with hatred, Xun Yan never forgave Mei Hao until his death.

If there is an afterlife, you will walk your Yangguan way and be your gentleman, and I will walk my single-plank bridge, and you and I will have nothing to do with each other.

"Mei Hao, hello..."

How are you?Are you cruel?Or do you take care of yourself?

A rain of crabapple flowers fell one after another, the flowers drifted away, and the Yiren was no longer there.

Mei Hao only found out about Xun Yan's suicide on the second day, so what should he say?

I'm sorry?Or do I please you?

All the words seemed so feeble, the flowers had already fallen, and Yi Ren's voice and appearance were hard to see.

"If I die, you will bury me in Shouyang Mountain and plant a garden full of plum trees." Xun Yan once said to him.

Hexi.

Su Jue picked up the mud seal, pulled out the silk paper from the copper pipe, and slowly unfolded it. Feng Qing's words came into view: Huiwen intends to attack Chu with Hengxi, and quickly tell the king of Chu to be ready and wait for me After finding out the deployment of Qingxi's coalition forces, I'll let you know.

"My lord, it's time to drink the medicine." Qu Yun took the medicine bowl and walked in.

"En." Su Jue threw the silk paper into the brazier and nodded, took the medicine bowl and drank it up.

A gust of breeze blew in from the window, causing the shadow of the candle to flicker. Su Jue pinched the center of her brows and lowered her eyes in silence.

That day, in Hexi Mo camp.

"Brother, please persuade General Jing to leave the Qing Dynasty. Qu Yang has not issued an edict to recall General Jing. It's too bad. The country is at the end of its strength. It's not worth it for General Jing to do this." Su Jue lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice.

On that day, Feng Qing wore a red dress that was as fiery as fire, he curled his lips and said, "If Chu Yunqi was surrounded by enemies, would you abandon him?"

Su Jue's eyes flickered, he opened his mouth, Feng Qing interrupted: "Lan Er, you have been calm since you were a child, and you don't like to fight for these unwarranted honors, fame and fortune. I thought that I could overthrow the troubled times with my own ability, but I never thought that I was almost beaten to death in Wang Ji before I gained fame. Fate is the most mysterious thing in the world. From the day I met Jingming, Feng Qing You know, he is the only one in this life, and he can't let go of the country, so Feng Qing will carry this crumbling kingdom with him."

"Brother..." Su Jue sighed inaudibly.

"You and I are up to each other. Winning or losing is a common thing. The King of Chu and Chen Bing invaded the border of Chu, and the Kingdom of Mo attacked and fell. This is something I did not expect. Feng Qing is willing to bow down. Then marry him, and Feng Qing will accompany him whatever he wants." Feng Qing smiled, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, Qingxiang Huiwen slays the king and usurps the throne, Jingming enters the capital alone, and is shot to death by random arrows, Fengqing reaches an agreement with the King of Chu in order to avenge Fengqing, and Fengqing enters Qing as an undercover agent in exchange, and the King of Chu will do it when necessary At that time, half of the military power must be handed over to Fengqing Mieqing.

Su Jue frowned, he didn't know what would happen if Chu Yunqi was missing in this troubled world, but he could clearly feel Feng Qing's grief.

If there really is an afterlife in this world, I pray that Jingming, the head of the rhinoceros, will disarm and return to the field, and the two of them will gossip about Sangma and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Yancheng of Chu State.Chu Yunqi handed Su Jue's secret letter to Zhang Yi, raised his eyebrows and said, "Old man Huiwen is really suspicious."

After a quick glance, Zhang Yi cupped his hands and bowed: "My king will give Zhang Yi some privileges, and Zhang Yi will definitely break Qingxi Lianheng."

Chu Yunqi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Zhang Zi seems to have a plan in mind, what's the trick this time?"

Zhang Yi smiled and said: "Prince Xi is greedy and promises attractive benefits, so we will definitely lead us by the nose, but this plan requires my king to give Zhang Yi some privileges, and of course my king needs to help Zhang Yi clean up the mess."

Chu Yun Qilang smiled and said: "Zhang Zi is funny, I like it, I will leave it to you to deal with the matter of breaking Xiqing, I will let you handle it, Zhang Zi can do it freely, I will be Zhang Zi's solid backing."

"Zhang Yi thanked my king!" Zhang Yi saluted.
