His gaze has been falling on the face of Gongshu Cuo across from him, and the strange color in his eyes cannot escape Wei Feng's eyes.

Wei Feng, as the Marquis of Wei, naturally knew why Gongshu Cuo had such a change in expression.

The change of expression on Gongshu Cuo's face did not escape Wei Feng's sight, and the thoughts in Wei Feng's heart also did not escape the teacher's speculation.

After mentioning the benefits of fully implementing the county system in recruiting talents, Gong Shucuo slowly stood up from his seat and bowed to Wei Feng in front of him.

"Teacher, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Seeing Gongshu Cuo suddenly make such a move in front of him, Wei Feng immediately stood up from his seat and supported the man who was about to bow down.

"Old minister, I have a heartless request, please accept it." After being helped up by Wei Feng, Gongshu Cuo's face showed a hint of request.

Seeing such a look in his field of vision, Wei Feng was confused and didn't care about anything else. He just held Gongshu Cuo's right hand and comforted him softly.

"Teacher, if we have something to do, we might as well sit down and talk slowly."

With Wei Feng's comforting voice ringing in his ears, Gongshu Cuo slowly sat back on his seat, and his eyes immediately returned to Wei Feng's face.

"well……"

After letting out a long sigh with a hint of guilt, Wei Feng heard his uncle Cuo say in a deep voice: "To put it bluntly, this is a big mistake I made back then."

"When the old minister was young, he really took status and power too seriously, and he only wanted to climb to the position of the Prime Minister of Wei."

"At that time, Prime Minister Hou Tian passed away in office, and the person competing with the old minister for the position was none other than Wu Qi, the governor of Xihe County who had made great contributions to our country of Wei."

"Wu Qi's talents in politics and military leadership are unparalleled in the world. The old minister knew that his talents were not as good as Wu Qi's, so he planned to frame him, so that he had to leave Wei."

Gongshu Cuo's narration of what happened that year, and the long sighs mixed with it, made Wei Feng's mood at the moment quite complicated.

As Gongshu Cuo said, Wu Qi studied Confucianism, Law, and Military, and his talents were comparable to those of Wei Shu, Sima Rangju, and Wei Shu.

If he could serve as Prime Minister and assist Marquis Wu, then Wei's successive defeats might be avoided, and Wei's prestige would surely grow stronger.

But because of Gongshu Cuo who was sitting in front of him, Wu Qi had to choose to leave Wei State and help King Chu Mourning carry out reforms in Chu State.

Within a few years of Wu Qi's reform, the state of Chu became strong and powerful, and was even able to defeat the state of Wei when Marquis Wu was in power at that time.

If King Chu Mourning had not passed away suddenly and Wu Qi was shot and killed by the angry Chu nobles, it is still unclear what the state of Chu would be like today.

Pulling back his thoughts that were drifting to nowhere, Wei Feng looked at Gongshu Cuo in front of him with a look that was half regretful and half thankful.

"The teacher just said that I have something to ask for, but he also mentioned Wu Qi. Is this related to Wu Qi?"

"Exactly."

Looking at Wei Feng in front of him, the expression on Gongshu Cuo's face gradually calmed down, and then he listened to him slowly tell the reason for the incident.

"After Wu Qi was shot dead by a noble of Chu, his descendants were able to survive safely because they were protected by King Su of Chu."

"It's just that Wu Qi offended the nobles of Chu State, large and small, so his descendants did not live well in Chu State."

"Last year, I went to Chu State on the order of your Majesty. Out of guilt for what happened back then, I secretly searched for my old friend's heir. It can be said that God opened my eyes and allowed me to find him."

"So when he returned from Chu, the old minister also brought Wu Qi's son Wu Tong and his family back to Wei."

After everything had happened, Gongshu Cuo looked at Wei Feng in front of him, "I am already old and can no longer help them much."

"I also ask your Majesty to treat these descendants of Wu Qi kindly for the sake of Wu Qi's unparalleled contributions to our country, Wei."

After listening to Gongshu Cuo's request without saying a word, Wei Feng felt a little mixed in his heart.

"well……"

A long sigh came out of his mouth. He looked at the uncle Cui in front of him and heard Wei Feng say in a deep voice: "My grandfather, Marquis Wen, took Wu Qi as his general, so that the land west of Hexi could enter our Wei Kingdom; my father, Marquis Wu, took Wu Qi as his general, so that we could conquer the Wei Kingdom."

The Qin army was defeated in the land of Yin and Jin."

"Wu Qi can be regarded as a meritorious official to our country of Wei, and these achievements should benefit his descendants."

"Teacher, what do you think of conferring upon Wu Qi's son Wu Tong the title of Doctor?"

After hearing Wei Feng's treatment of Wu Tong, the worry in Gongshu Cuo's eyes slowly disappeared at this moment.

"On behalf of Wu Tong and his family, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."

"Teacher, you don't have to be like this. This is what I, as a student, should do." After saying this, Wei Feng's eyes shifted again, "Speaking of Wu Qi back then, there is now a great talent in the teacher's house.

"

"Your Majesty is talking about Gongsun Martingale, right?"

When Wei Feng mentioned great talents, Gongshu Cuo naturally thought of his disciple who had already been in the sight of Wei Hou.

"Exactly." Wei Feng's eyes fell on Gongshu Cuo's face, and he asked questions immediately, "It has been five years since Gongsun Yang entered the teacher's residence. I wonder what is happening to him now?"

"Gongsun Yang is indeed a genius in the world. After being tempered by complicated government affairs over the years, he has a preliminary understanding of the "Book of Laws" promulgated by Prime Minister Li and the overall situation of our country in Wei."

After speaking highly of Gongsun Yang, Gongshu Cuo first had a look of thought on his face, and then he softly suggested something to Wei Feng in front of him.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that Gongsun Yang has enough power in government affairs now. What should be done next is to transfer it to other places and start to engage in practical work as the magistrate of a county."

"How about sending Gongsun Yang to Qindong and serving as the county magistrate here."

After listening to Gongshu Cuo's suggestion, Wei Feng nodded slightly, but also remembered Gongshu Cuo's recommendation when he was seriously ill in his previous life.

The prime minister must be from the state headquarters, and the warriors must be from the army.

Starting from one place and being promoted step by step based on political performance is what a great talent in governing the country should experience.

Even great talents like Li Kui and Wu Qi started from one place and gradually became important ministers in Wei State.

From this, we can see how unreliable the behavior of Gongshu Cuo in his previous life in recommending Gongsun Yang as prime minister before his death was really unreliable, and this was one of the reasons why Wei Feng did not accept his recommendation in his previous life.

After being given more trust by Wei Feng in this life, Gongshu Cuo obviously had more considerations.

After lightly nodding, Wei Feng looked at Gongshu Cuo in front of him and said, "In that case, then just follow what the teacher said."
