Chapter 83: Gathering of Heroes (Part 2)
"Why!"
A sigh sounded, from the mouths of scholars and scholars.
The Warring States Period was a special era, with all kinds of troubles coming out of trouble: Xinling Jun was trapped by his reputation. Although he had hidden ambitions and wanted to be the King of Wei, he did not dare to take the last step, usurp the throne of Wei, and died in depression.
Han Fei was trapped by his background and could not betray Korea. He knew that he could not do anything, but had to do it and work for Korea. Han Fei was born in the Korean royal family. The King of Han was his ancestor of all dynasties. He could abandon Korea, but could not abandon his ancestors. If a person abandoned his ancestors, who would still trust him? Who would dare to use him? It is precisely because of this background that Han Fei had ambitions but could not show his talents, and had to make plans for Korea, which made him extremely depressed.
Pang Nuan, Tian Guang, and Hou Ying were trapped by the oath and eventually died.
Pang Nuan said, "Time is fate." When it comes to scholars, the hearts of scholars are raised, and they cannot do it without sighing.
Sima Geng knew Pang Nuan's character and no longer spoke more, only sighing.
Yao Jia and the two of them met Qin Yiren one after another, and were taken in by the green-clothed maid.
"This is the Hun Prince Wusunluo." Ma Gai introduced it to Qin Yiren.
When Qin Yiren looked at it, he saw that Wusun Luoji was extraordinary. He was tall and strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, as if he had endless strength. When he walked, he made a thud and thud, he knew that he was one of the few warriors at first glance.
What is surprising is that this person looks extraordinary and has no recklessness, but has a sense of elegance, which makes people feel good about it.
What is most memorable is that this person's eyes are particularly bright and wise.
"What a prince of the small Xiongnu tribe?" Qin Yiren was very surprised and asked at Magai.
"That's true." Magai nodded and replied, "When I saw this person, I was surprised and sent someone to check. The Wusun tribe was indeed a small tribe of the Huns, and its prince was indeed called Wusunluo. According to the information I found, Wusunluo is not unfamiliar and respects the tribe."
Qin Yiren believed that he would not say anything randomly and said, "That's fine. This person is just the prince of the small tribe of the Wusun tribe. If it were a large Hun tribe, it would definitely cause great harm."
"If he was the son and nephew of Shanyu, the disaster would be even worse." Magai also agreed with this and said, "It is precisely because of this that I ordered people to investigate his background."
When you look at this Wusun, you will know that it is not a thing in the pond, and it will turn into a dragon sooner or later. If you were born in a large tribe of the Huns, it would be a headache for those who would disturb the border. If you were the sons and nephews of the Shanyu, you would definitely be a heavyweight of the Huns, and the disaster would be even worse.
Born in a small tribe of the Huns, there is no such worry. Because the Huns are tribal and without a large tribe as their backing, even if you have the ability to achieve enlightenment, you will not be able to play it out and it is difficult to achieve success.
Like Genghis Khan, it was almost impossible for the Huns to start a business with a broken tribe and eventually unify the desert.
"Yes. If he were a large tribe or the nephew of Shanyu, he would never have come." Qin Yiren had already figured it out when his thoughts turned.
In Handan, Hu people can be seen everywhere, and even the leaders of the Xiongnu tribe can be seen. However, if a Hun prince like Wusunluo came from a large tribe or a son and nephew of the Shanyu, he would not dare to come to Handan. Once his identity was leaked, he would be wiped out.
"Wusunluo, the Wusun tribe of the Xiongnu, met the young master." Wusunluo took a step forward, with a Chinese-language and a very authentic one, and he greeted the Qin Yiren.
He is thoughtful and has no mistakes, showing good personal cultivation.
If he was a Chinese, considerate etiquette was nothing. The problem was that he was a Hun. It would be rare to have such thoughtful etiquette. Everyone was surprised.
"Yiren has seen the prince." Qin Yiren returned the greeting.
Sima Geng stepped forward, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Is the prince really participating in the ritual of squeezing the ritual?"
"Why did the National Guard ask this?" Wusunluo was calm and very calm.
"If you are truly able to compete with the great ceremony, there will be nothing wrong. If you have ulterior motives, don't blame the Qin soldiers for being ruthless." Sima Geng said in a deep voice.
"Prince Guowei, please rest assured. Wusun Luo reads the books of the Central Plains young and is devoted to the Central Plains. This time, the talented heroes of the world gather together. How can Wusun Luo not come to see it?" Wusun Luo calmed down and did not panic at all.
Sima Geng and Qin Yiren stared at him without missing a single detail.
The Changping War had just ended, Zhao State was defeated, and Qin State was not as strong as before. If the Huns had discovered the inside story of the Central Plains and launched a large-scale invasion, it would have been a major disaster.
At that time, the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan were resisting the troubles in the northern border. The Qin State was extremely powerful, and the Hu people were afraid and did not dare to approach the Qin State. Even if the Qin State's national strength was not as good as before, they were not afraid. However, Zhao State lost all its elite troops due to the Battle of Changping and its national power was weak. If the Huns invaded in large numbers, the world would inevitably be shaken.
You should know that the main force to resist the invasion of the Huns was not Yan State, but Zhao State. Yan State mainly resisted the Donghu State, Zhao State mainly resisted the Huns, and Qin State mainly resisted the Qiang State. The reason why the Huns attacked Zhao State was because the land of Hetao was in the hands of Zhao State.
The land of Hetao is a natural pasture, with rich soil and beautiful water, and the Huns dreamed of it. Decades ago, the Huns marched south to control the land of Hetao in one fell swoop, but were defeated by King Wuling of Zhao in the land of Hetao.
Furthermore, the Hetao land is a strategic springboard for entering the Central Plains. Once it is obtained by the Huns, there will be endless troubles.
Decades have passed, and the Huns should have recovered. In addition, the elite Zhao troops were annihilated by Qin in the Changping War, which was a good opportunity for the Huns to seize the land of Hetao. Once the Huns were held, the consequences would be extremely serious.
Although Qin and Zhao are mortal enemies, fighting each other with life and death, they have never been ambiguous in front of foreign enemies and will definitely cooperate sincerely to fight against foreign enemies. Therefore, Sima Geng asked this question.
"I'm too careful, you go in." Sima Geng found no flaws.
Wusun Luo retreated when he saw the ceremony and entered the house under the leadership of the green maid.
"Can you mobilize the Black Ice Platform?" Qin Yiren asked softly in Sima Geng's ear.
The Black Ice Platform is a secret soldier organization of Qin, equivalent to the current secret agent organization, which specializes in spying on intelligence and assassination. However, if you want to mobilize the Black Ice Platform, you must have the order of King Zhao of Qin, otherwise, even Prime Minister Fan Sui cannot be mobilized.
"Before leaving Qin, the emperor gave me the will, you can mobilize it." Sima Geng nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, I will order the Black Bingtai to keep a close eye on Wusunluo. If he has any abnormal movement, he will kill immediately."
"This Wusun Lok cannot be taken lightly." Qin Yiren reminded him.
Next, after arriving at the ceremony, Shanrong Prince Shanrong Fu and Yue Prince Bogeya were good, but they were far behind Wusun. Qin Yiren didn't care about the two.
It took a long time before Qin Yiren welcomed him and returned to the house.
Qin Yiren sat in the main seat, Sima Geng and Wang Wan sat on his side and around him.
The green-clothed maid floated over and brought wine and food, and the case was put on. Soon, the wine and food were served.
Hu Feng’s winery has extraordinary skills. The food they cook is of course exquisite, with all the colors and flavors, and is extremely attractive. Many scholars and scholars come from poor backgrounds, and they are good enough to be able to wrap their stomachs. They can even count the number of times they eat meat in their lives and have no choice but to count the number of times they eat meat with their fingers. Have you ever seen such exquisite food? They can’t help swallowing their saliva, their eyes wide open, and they wish they could eat it immediately.
During the Warring States Period, due to low productivity and low grain output, they could not raise large quantities of livestock. The meat was particularly tight and they did not eat much. If they wanted to eat meat, most of them were officials. Therefore, over time, "meat eaters" became synonymous with officials.
Although Li Si is extremely talented, after all, he is born in poverty and has such exquisite food. He has the first time he has seen such a strong appetite. His self-control is extremely strong, without any indication, and he sits upright, which is completely different from those of those scholars from poverty.
Qin Yiren saw it and praised it very much, and his self-control was extremely powerful.
With such exquisite food, it is impossible not to be moved by it. Normal people will be moved. It is very good to be able to control their desires well.
"Dou!"
Qin Yiren picked up the small hammer on the desk and rang the small bell on the desk. The clear bell rang.
According to the etiquette of the Warring States Period, before the banquet was feasted, the bell had to be beaten before the trip was opened and then the trip was eaten, collectively known as "Bells and Ding Food".
The bell rings, which means you can eat. Those scholars from poor backgrounds are very interested in picking up the hook on the short desk and holding it tightly, looking forward to it.
The lid on the tripod must be lifted with a hook and placed aside. During the banquet, the master needs to open the tripod first, and then the guest can open the tripod. Qin Yiren grabbed the hook and sang loudly: "Open the tripod!"
The hook in your hand hooks the cover of the tripod, gently lift it up, and place it on the short table. The square flesh in the tripod appears, steaming hot and fragrant.
"Thank you, Young Master!" The scholar, in accordance with the etiquette at that time, thanked Qin Yiren, and then hooked the cover of the tripod with a hook and placed it aside.
The square flesh in the cauldron is square and formal, showing the great sword skills, which attracted a lot of praise.
If you follow the "Zhou Li", the square meat must be cut into squares, and it must be in a proper manner and not at all. If the cutting is not straight, it is rude and a serious sin.
Confucius was very picky in this regard. He had a very famous saying, "If you don't eat it right, you won't eat it." In his eyes, the incorrect cut of square meat is extremely rude and a contempt for his dignity.
In fact, in the Warring States Period, when the "rituals collapsed and music were broken", the Zhou rituals could no longer restrict people's behavior. Who is in charge of these? Of course, the banquet tonight was very formal, and Hu Feng's wine shop cut the square meat very square. If it were normal, it would not be so formal.
"This meat is cut very square. If Confucius were here, he would never say 'If you don't cut it right, don't eat it'." Qin Yiren picked up the wine and teased him.
"Haha!" A loud laughter rang out.
Confucianism was very awesome in later generations. At that time, it was just a top scholar who regarded himself as a kingly destiny. Anyone who did not match Confucian views and concepts would be called fallacies by them. Only Confucianism is orthodox and is the destiny of heaven, which is looked down upon by hundreds of schools. In the eyes of hundreds of schools, Confucianism is just a rat crossing the street that everyone calls for.
When Qin Yiren said this, when it comes to scholars, the hearts of scholars, who can not laugh?
"Damn!" Qin Yiren raised the bronze wine lord.
