Gu Xun felt that today’s trip, even if we put aside the business later, was definitely worth it.
Qi Wangjian... In a sense, he is really awesome... However, it is also a pity.
Taking the situation of Qi State into account, it doesn’t matter whether Wang Jian of Qi State is mediocre or incompetent. It is unanimously targeted by neighboring countries. How can it develop? It does not have the natural danger of Hangu.
The reason why the Six Kingdoms of Shandong have been increasingly declining in the face of Qin for many years is that while they were dealing with Qin, they were also fighting among themselves. In this way, for Qin, they were equal to the enemy's strength.
It will weaken itself. As long as you don't make stupid moves, isn't this a sure-win situation?
Qi Wangjian did not have this kind of treatment. He could see all the situations clearly, but he could do nothing. He could only be an indifferent king, sitting back and watching the ups and downs of the world, while indulging his incompetent uncle.
It's really pitiful...
Gu Xun was silent for a long time and felt it was time to say something. After thinking about it for a while, he asked:
"So... His Majesty the King of Qi did nothing because he had no choice but to do anything?"
King Qi Jian shrugged and drank the tea with an increasingly suitable temperature in one gulp, "What else?"
"What does Zhuangzi say... If you don't serve your life, there is nothing you can do; if you don't serve your life, there is nothing you can do!"
"To be honest, the most regrettable thing for me is that the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, which led to the decline of Jixia Academy. It is no longer the grand scene where hundreds of schools of thought came in and out, arguing endlessly... Now the main thing is
They are Confucianists, and they are all Confucian disciples who are deeply influenced by Xunzi. I hope to meet Taoist masters..."
Let me talk about it here, Xunzi, a famous Confucian troll, was regarded as deviant by many Confucian disciples. However, he could not criticize others and could only hold his nose and admit the other party's knowledge and status.
Gu Xun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, Taoism...Taoism is not that salty!
It’s true... Gu Xun felt that King Qi Jian, the king of a country, was more carefree and comfortable than he, the orphan... the owner of a lonely family of four. It was simply outrageous!
"Your Majesty is really... really open-minded..." In the end, Gu Xun could only respond in a nonchalant manner.
Qi Wangjian probably understood Gu Xun's reaction. He waved his hand casually and said, "Mr. Gu, I satisfied your curiosity just now. I wonder if it is not convenient for you to answer my doubts now?"
Gu Xun didn't know what he would ask, so he could only respond, "Your Majesty, please ask first."
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Gu. If it's not convenient for you to answer, you don't have to answer. It doesn't matter." Qi Wangjian said some words of comfort first, and then asked, "I actually want to know, where does Mr. Gu come from?"
"..." Gu Xun narrowed his eyes, glanced at Qi Wangjian, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty interested in this?"
"Well..." Qi Wangjian pondered for a moment, and then replied, "With your strength, sir, you shouldn't be unknown, but before the end of last autumn, no one had heard of you, sir. This is very strange."
"Of course, the more important thing is that as far as I know, the first time that Mr. Sir rose to prominence was when he was in the Huaibei generation of Chu State, fighting against Luo Wang. But coincidentally, during that time, Tai Shiling reported to me that the stars
Some unknowable changes have occurred."
"Star...symbol?" Gu Xun naturally heard the key point in the words, and couldn't help but repeat it in a long tone, and then asked, "Similar to the astrology of the Yin Yang family?"
"I'm afraid that my Taishi Ling is not as good at stargazing as the Yin Yang family master who is the best at this among hundreds of families." Qi Wangjian shrugged, saying that his family's Taishi Ling is not as good as astrology.<
/p>
"Okay..." Gu Xun couldn't help but mutter in his heart. It seems that the Yin Yang family is the most professional when it comes to magic sticks. "Then what do the changes in the stars mean?"
Qi Wangjian shrugged again and replied helplessly, "I don't know...if I knew, how could I say it was an 'unknowable' change?"
"???" Gu Xun couldn't help but retorted, "If he didn't know this, how could he know that the stars had changed?"
Qi Wangjian raised his head and recalled, "According to what Tai Shi Ling meant at that time, it probably meant that he observed the changes in the stars, but had no way of knowing what the changes in the stars reflected in reality."
"..." Gu Xun tried to understand this sentence. He also spent money to learn astrology. Although he was a dabbler, it was enough.
Stargazing, stargazing, is about the correspondence between stars and reality - although he felt that this thing was extremely unscientific and unreliable from beginning to end - since Qi State's Taishi Ling knew how to watch stars, how could he not see it?
What is the reality corresponding to the changes in the astrology?
So he has been lonely these past few years?
"Okay... As for my origin, it's not convenient to tell you Your Majesty. I can only say... Theoretically, I will indeed cause changes in the stars at that point in time."
After wasting so much talk but not getting an answer, Qi Wangjian was a little disappointed, but not angry. He just sighed and said:
"The reason why I sent Chen He to my husband was for this reason. Although Chen He gave me a lot of information, he didn't really make me understand. That's why I asked you specifically today... It's inconvenient.
, that’s all.”
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty." Gu Xun said politely, and then thought of another person because Qi Wangjian mentioned Chen He's appearance in the past.
"Speaking of Chen He, Gu has one more thing to ask."
"Mr. Gu, please speak."
"I think the man in the raincoat at night must have been captured by your majesty, right?"
"Huh?" Qi Wangjian was noncommittal and just shrugged, waiting for Gu Xun's next words.
"His Majesty asked for any... valuable news?"
Qi Wangjian thought for a moment and then asked with a smile, "I think... the only person in the coiclothes guest who can still be considered valuable to the current gentleman is... Canglong Qisu, right?"
Gu Xun's eyes narrowed, and he didn't expect that King Qi Jian would point out the matter of Canglong Qisu so straightforwardly.
Having said that, this is also the first time Gu Xun has met a member of the Seven Kingdoms royal family who is so happy about Canglong Qisu.
At this time, Qi Wangjian explained to himself, "Coinclothes Guest knows very little information about Canglong Qisu, which is basically worthless. Bai Yifei may know more, but he..."
He is long dead.
Qi Wangjian's eyes are fixed on Gu Xun. Not only is he dead, but he is probably still related to you.
Seeing how happy he was, Gu Xun simply ignored the coir raincoat guest and asked Qi Wang Jiandao directly:
"Then, Your Majesty, is there anything you can tell me about Canglong Qisu?"
Regardless of whether there are jujubes or not, let’s hit two shots first. Anyway, if you follow Wang Jian’s attitude, you won’t be angry.
King Qi Jianbu shook his head as Gu Xun expected, "I have nothing to say. I am not interested in this thing, and I am not interested in knowing the news about it. I am afraid there is nothing that can help Mr. Gu."
He used to have a relationship with Canglong Qisu, and he had a key item in his hands, but... he had already abandoned it.
