Chapter 73

: Four walls of wine, sex, wealth and power

Accompanied by Taoist Jiang and the Three Dukes, Ji Hou slowly walked from afar.

The officials, officials and wise men under the two rows of huts stood up and bowed.

The Marquis of Ji walked in the middle, and Taoist Jiang was half a step behind him, and the Three Dukes were behind him, arranged in one character.

When Ji Hou walked to the front of Xuan Hall, he suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Xuanqiu who was standing in the first place in the left head.

Taoist Jiang and the third duke couldn't help but look with him. When they saw Chen Xuanqiu's demeanor, the third duke couldn't help but be amazed secretly. Ji Hou even spread his eyebrows, showed a satisfied smile, and nodded slightly while stroking his beard.

He was originally very satisfied with Chen Xuanqiu's talent. When he saw Chen Xuanqiu's talent again, he naturally felt even more happy.

Taoist Jiang glanced at Chen Xuanqiu deeply, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly: "It turns out that he has a good appearance and is quite extraordinary. However, from his previous article on slavery, he should not have come out of there."

Taoist Jiang was very sure. The people there were noble gods. There was no difference between the sentient beings in the world in the eyes of gods. They were all like grass and ants. How could the gods be very bored and sent people to ask about the affairs of the world?

Will a person defend against who a beehive is, who is the queen, who is the worker bee, and who is the drone?

Ji Hou walked into the Xuan Hall, turned around and stood still, Dao Ren Jiang and the three dukes flashed to the sides and stood solemnly on the left and right.

Hundreds of people from two rows outside the hall bowed to the top and shouted respectfully: "I have seen the king."

"All the Lords are exempted from the gift!"

Ji Hou Xu raised his hands and signaled everyone to sit down. He knelt down after several cases, and everyone outside the hall sat down one after another.

This is the era of separate meals. There is a small table in front of everyone, and lanterns are carried high in the shed, making the ground look like daytime.

Ji Hou smiled and said, "I became the lord of Ji State, governing the country, and sleeping day and night, working diligently. However, I know that my talent is simple and simple, so I am eager to seek talent. Fortunately, thanks to the help of all the ministers, although Ji State is located in the western border of the mainland and the land is barren, Ji State can still be rich in the country and rich in the people and enjoy peace."

When Mr. Ji paused, he saw that everyone still listened to him, and said loudly: "Since ancient times, the kings who received orders and revived have all accepted wise men and gentlemen and ruled the world with them. I am now choosing wise men in Qishan, and this is the meaning of this.

You are all wise men of the country. I should value it. I have always been a talented person. No matter what position you are given at the beginning, if you achieve success in the future, I will definitely give you a clear reward and punishment. Chen Xuanqiu..."

Chen Xuanqiu stood up and bowed to him and stood still.

Ji Hou said: "I look at your articles, one is about farming, one is about geography, and the other is about military affairs. They are unique and can be called a genius. I appreciate them very much, so I will give you the first place! I love talents and want to give you the position of the young master and the palace imperial court in Ji State. I wonder if you are willing?"

The wise men who chose the civil and military elections below did not know the news. When they heard this, they were immediately in an uproar when they heard this.

What kind of good article did this person write that could make Ji Hou pay so much attention to it and promote an 18-year-old boy to be an important official of the Ji State?

It's so jealous!

Chen Xuanqiu's face was calm and bowed a long time ago, saying, "I thanked the king for praise. I came from Qingping Mountain and walked along the way. I often heard that the people praised the king's wiseness. I also saw with my own eyes that the countryside was full of traversals and the towns were prosperous. This shows that the Ji country was wise and the people were happy to rule."

When Mr. Ji heard this, his face cleared. The grudge that had previously developed slightly weakened because of the article that advocated "carrying slaves for the people".

But after hearing Chen Xuanqiu's words, he said, "However, I have seen people not as good as pigs and dogs along the way. They were buried in the tomb with sacrificial utensils and coffins, or were captured by evil cultivators to suck bones and marrow, and used as materials for sacrificial refining. The ghosts cried at night, and it was terrible."

Ji Hou's face suddenly changed and he shouted in a deep voice: "Why do you have such a harm to the people under the rule of Ji's country?"

Chen Xuanqiu said calmly: "Of course there is! I saw a rich family burying an elder in front of him, and there were hundreds of people who were sacrificing him when I was in Qingliangzhou. I also saw a sect called the Ghost King who killed people to refine weapons. His tragic and unkindness is outrageous!"

Wang Qing, who was sitting in the Duke's seat, suddenly looked at Chen Xuanqiu coldly after hearing this.

Ji Hou, who was sitting in the head, was stunned at first, and then said disapprovingly: "Oh, so that's it. What Chen Xian said was not a people, but a slave."

"The king, slaves are also humans!"

"Yes, slaves are also humans. But slaves are the personal property of their masters. Even if they are the masters, they cannot interfere with them. Just like this wine, it belongs to me, so who can care about me if I drink it?"

Ji Hou drank the glass of wine in one sip, looked at Chen Xuanqiu, and said, "This glass is also my own!"

Ji Hou threw the cup to the ground and smashed it to pieces: "I want to smash it, but who can tell me the truth?"

The Grand Marshal Wei Yue loved talents, for fear that Chen Xuanqiu would continue to anger Ji Hou, so he hurriedly interrupted: "You guy said nothing, and you wouldn't be guilty of the king quickly. Is it the ancestor who made the law, so you, the junior, could you talk nonsense?"

Chen Xuanqiu smiled faintly and said, "I never believe that there are any ancestors in the world to achieve the Dharma. The so-called ancestors all have their ancestors. The so-called Dharmas are all from nothing to something.

The laws of the predecessors can become laws because they are effective. But being effective for a while does not mean that they are always effective. The system of slaves has indeed played its role, but now it is no longer suitable for the development of the world, and it should be changed!"

Chen Xuanqiu walked out from behind the table, stood between the two seats, spread his sleeves slightly, turned around in circles, and said aloud: "I am now seven feet and eight inches tall, but five feet and one inches tall five years ago. Let me ask you, the clothes that I fit most five years ago, if I still wear them now, will it fit?

Times are changing, and the trends are changing! We should set new laws according to time and situations. We should set new ancestor methods for future generations! One day, when it no longer fits the body of future generations, future generations will take them off, tailor their clothes, and make new laws!"

Ji Hou was furious: "Enough, don't be fooled by others here."

Chen Xuanqiu shook his head and sighed: "If the minister has received the official position of the king, he will be the governor of the king. However, if the people under the rule have a life that is not as low as pigs and dogs, I will also use the law to protect those who harm them, but I cannot do it. Therefore, I dare not accept the grace of the king!"

Ji Hou was so angry that his face turned pale. He didn't expect Chen Xuanqiu to contradict him in public. He didn't expect that he would give Chen Xuanqiu a great kindness as soon as he opened his mouth, and Chen Xuanqiu actually abandoned his shoes.

Taoist Jiang secretly calculated for a while, but could not figure out where Chen Xuanqiu came from, so he couldn't help but secretly amazement.

What is this son’s origin? I can’t calculate his foundation in a mortal world?

But he could never come from that place, because Ji Hou was the man who was determined by the fortune and the way of heaven. If Chen Xuanqiu came from there, he would not have known it.

In that case, no matter whether he wants to seek great merit or to seize great fortune, he can only choose to stand on the side of Ji Hou. There is no reason to confront Ji Hou so tit-for-tat. But if he didn't come from there, why can't I calculate the fate?

On the court, Wang Qing noticed the empty seat next to Chen Xuanqiu. He couldn't help but frown and said to the left guardian unhappily: "This boy is too arrogant and offended the Marquis Ji. Marquis Ji wants to step down, and he will most likely be promoted to the number one in the martial arts election. How can Tian Yuhui be away at this time? Go and come back quickly."

The left guardian nodded slightly and hurriedly went to find the Tian Yuhui who had "fallen into the pit and could not come out."

When Taoist Jiang saw the stalemate at the scene, the atmosphere was very cold. He laughed and said, "Chen Xuanqiu, you are a little young and energetic after all. The system of slaves has existed since ancient times. Even if you want to change it, it involves a lot of people. You need to do it slowly and not be too hasty.

Mr. Ji appreciates your talent very much. Not only do he want to grant you the position of Young Master and Gong Yin, but he also plans to betroth your beloved daughter Princess Qianmo to you. Who can do such favor? In Jiang's opinion, you should thank the king for your kindness quickly. When you become a family, what's the point of discussing between the father-in-law and son-in-law? Haha..."

The officials outside the hall were all shocked. The king planned to betroth his favorite Princess Qianmo to him? This... is really a bargain for us!

On the other hand, civil and military wise men are even more envious and jealous. They are all in different moods. They may not pursue things that they have spent their entire lives, but they are at their fingertips. Are you angry?

There are four walls of wine, sex, wealth and power, and so many wise people are in the center. Life is in life, what else can we ask for? Chen Xuanqiu, no matter what, no matter what, he, is there any reason to refuse?
