Yan Ying intends to recruit Li Yunze, a great talent, to join Qi.
But before he had time to raise the matter with the King of Qi, civil strife broke out in the State of Qi.
In history, the Tian family who conspired to seize Qi State had a fierce conflict with the Luan family and the Gao family who were in power at that time.
The two sides were in a quarrel and even held King Qi hostage.
The anxious Yan Ying was busy putting out the fire, so he naturally put aside the matter of recruiting Li Yunze.
At this time, Li Yunze was in retreat, revising his explanations and interpretations.
The original version of "Shuowen Jiezi" is mainly based on glyph analysis, and the main reference content includes the translation of many ancient texts from "Poems", "Books" and "Li" to "Chu Ci" and "Shan Hai Jing".
Li Yunze's revision was to delete all the books that had not yet appeared in the original version, and then use official script as the main body to compare and standardize it with the books that had already been published.
To put it simply, this is a comparative dictionary.
The original version is to make it easier to read ancient texts. After all, those ancient texts have all fonts and are mostly hieroglyphics. Without professional dictionaries, ordinary people simply cannot understand them.
Li Yunze's purpose here is purely to promote official script.
Make a big dictionary in official script.
For people of this era, this is a hopelessly arduous literary project.
Because simply collecting all kinds of books is enough to make people despair.
But things are much simpler here in Li Yunze.
Except for some lost books, most of the things are available to later generations.
It is not one that has been modified bit by bit by countless readers over thousands of years, but the true original version unearthed during archeology.
Naturally, ordinary people cannot see the real original versions of these things, but Li Yunze just mentioned them, and soon someone sent him the relevant information.
Coupled with the books collected from San Huan and Lu Gong, the work was naturally much simpler.
What is really difficult are those unique copies that have been lost to later generations!
Especially some orphan copies that have never been heard of before, these things are the most difficult to translate.
Li Yunze didn't push the job to Wen Mao. After all, he had to do education, and some things had to be done by himself.
His students must be both civilized and martial, capable of subduing dragons, subduing tigers, and embracing the moon, and capable of speaking dirty words...ahem.
Li Yunze is immersed in work. Apart from eating and sleeping, he devotes almost all his time to translation work.
Until this day, Wen Mao... now an official, according to the rules of this era, he should be called Shaozheng Mao opened the door and barged in.
Li Yunze raised his head and put down the pen in his hand.
He looked at Shaozhengmao indifferently and said, "If you disturb my work without a suitable reason, then I will send you to be an eunuch next to Duke Lu."
Shao Zhengmao stepped forward quickly and said eagerly to Li Yunze, "It's a disaster, it's a disaster! We're knocking on the door!"
Li Yunze looked serious, "Is the Queen Mother of the West here?"
"Xi..." Shaozheng said with a dark face, "Don't talk nonsense."
Although there are many myths and stories in this era, not many of them are truly believed.
Li Yunze asked again, "Is that King Mu of Zhou coming?"
King Zhou Mu has been dead for many years. If he knocks on the door, Li Yunze must first determine whether it is a soul or a zombie... After all, he doesn't know whether physical attacks are effective on souls.
"neither."
Hearing this, Li Yunze's confidence immediately increased.
"As long as it's not King Zhou Mu and Queen Mother of the West who come." Li Yunze waved his hand domineeringly, "It doesn't matter who comes!"
This is really not bragging. Judging from his physical ability, it is not difficult to challenge an army alone.
"It's King Chu!"
Shaozheng jumped anxiously, "It's the King of Chu who has come to ask for help!"
"King of Chu?"
These words made Li Yunze stunned and said, "What does he want from me? I have no enmity or enmity with him."
It's not that he's scared, he's really confused. When did he have a grudge against the King of Chu?
In this life, Li Yunze has never left the State of Lu.
As for why Shao Zhengmao was so frightened, there was certainly a reason.
Before the strong rise of Qin, Jin and Chu were the absolute hegemons in the world, competing with each other for hegemony.
The only person in this world who can defeat Jin is probably the King of Chu.
Such an overlord comes to seek revenge on you. Shao Zhengmao is naturally frightened and frightened.
Li Yunze's reaction was not that big, or he was very calm. "The King of Chu is here in person?"
"No."
Shaozhengmao shook his head repeatedly, "It's the envoy from the King of Chu. His name seems to be Wu Zixu?"
"Wu..." Li Yunze originally heard that King Chu didn't come, so Li Yunze was about to ask Shao Zhengmao to send the people away.
But when he heard the name Wu Zixu, he stood up.
"Wu Zixu?"
"It's called Wu Zixu, he said it himself."
Li Yunze nodded and walked towards the door very simply.
Just the name Wu Zixu is enough to give him face to meet him.
Wu Zixu, who was nearly thirty years old, stroked his beard and looked up at the door plaque of the academy. The words looked familiar, and they were the same as those in the book that made the king very angry.
His coming as an envoy to the State of Lu this time was actually quite unexpected.
Previously, Wu Zixu was still following the young master Qiji (King Ping of Chu) to attack the state of Cai.
After successfully wiping out Cai Guo, Prince Qiji was appointed by the king as Cai Gong and Chen Gong.
But Shen Wuyu said that Young Master Qiji's tail would be too big to fall off, which was really irritating.
Originally, Wu Zixu was preparing to follow Prince Qiji to impeach Shen Wuyu, but he suddenly received an order from Prince Qiji, asking him to go to the State of Lu as an envoy.
After careful questioning, I found out that it was a guy from the State of Lu who actually wrote the king into the storybook.
This is already very irritating, but what is even more irritating is that this person actually calls the king King Chu Ling in the story book!
You are so bold, you actually dare to give the king a posthumous title.
You know, the king is not dead yet!
He came here this time just to ask the little Lu State to give an explanation.
On the way to the State of Lu, Wu Zixu also carefully read the book "King Ling of Chu Wushan Meets the Goddess".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! First of all, I was naturally surprised by the material, but soon I was shocked by the content, because my name actually appeared in this book!
That's right, the original version features King Chu Xiang and Song Yu. Of course Song Yu wasn't even born yet, so Li Yunze conveniently gave this role to Wu Zixu.
It was purely because among the celebrities of Chu State in this era, Wu Zixu impressed him deeply.
I saw in the book that I went to Wushan with the king and met the goddess and told so many stories. I even wrote "The Goddess's Ode" such as "Wushan Yunyu", "The Spiritual King is intentional, the goddess is unintentional", etc.,
That feeling is really wonderful.
Along the way, Wu Zixu was so excited that he really wanted to go to Wushan to find the goddess... Well, it seems that the king really sent someone to Wushan...
The person who wrote this story was very kind to himself, and also wrote such masterpieces as "Ode to the Goddess", which made Wu Zixu feel very good.
Therefore, after arriving in Qufu City, he did not directly go to Lu Gong to ask for his guilt. Instead, he directly looked for someone to lead the way and came to talk to the man who wrote the book.
If the negotiation is good, he may be able to save his life.
This is not bragging, but based on the national strength of Chu State, if it really threatens Lu State, even Qi State, the boss of Lu State, will have to give three cents of face.
It was not a simple matter for the State of Lu to execute a book writer.
The door was opened, and immediately more than a dozen strong, muscular, shirtless, and trembling men came out.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zixu's eyes bulged.
What's going on? Isn't this an academy? What do you mean by so many strong men?
The Chu warriors who followed Wu Zixu subconsciously raised their sword hilts.
Then, Li Yunze walked out.
He and Wu Zixu met their eyes immediately.
What shocked Wu Zixu was Li Yunze's body, which was so strong that even clothes could not hide it.
But what Li Yunze paid attention to was Wu Zixu's hair.
It is said that when Wu Zixu fled from Chu to Wu, he was eager to grow old overnight because he could not pass the pass. He was still very interested in knowing something about things that violated common sense in physics and biology.
Wu Zixu's hair is still quite dark now.
After all, it’s not yet time for everyone in the family to die and to run away alone.
Li Yunze stepped forward and looked at Wu Zixu condescendingly, "Are you Wu Zixu?"
Wu Zixu was born into a noble family in the Chu Kingdom, and his family had land and property. A script writer actually dared to talk to him like this, and his face immediately darkened.
Of course, Li Yunze didn't care about his thoughts and looked at him curiously, "He's thin, short, and a little dark, so he doesn't have a very good image."
Wu Zixu had a great reputation in history. Together with his grandson, he assisted the King of Wu to defeat the powerful Chu State. After conquering the capital of Chu State, he whipped the corpse to take revenge.
Such a person should be very unique, but I never thought he would be so ordinary.
The good impression Wu Zixu had towards Li Yunze, which was based on the story he wrote, suddenly disappeared.
"What a rude person."
Wu Zixu, with a dark face, threw down his sleeves and said, "You are so audacious and dare to slander the king of our country. Do you know your guilt?"
Hearing this, Li Yunze laughed.
"First of all, what I want to say is that this matter is indeed a misunderstanding. When I was writing the script, I didn't expect that King Chu was not dead yet..."
"Bold!!"
The Chu warriors standing behind Wu Zixu couldn't hold it any longer. What did Hun Dan say?
Unexpectedly, King Chu is not dead yet?
The Chu warriors who couldn't bear it immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, stepped forward and stabbed Li Yunze with a sword.
A scene that shocked Wu Zixu appeared.
Not to mention that the person in front of him didn't move, he didn't even look to the side, he just raised his hand so lightly, and easily caught the bronze sword with two fingers in a flash of lightning!
During the whole process, Li Yunze kept his eyes on Wu Zixu, and even had time to say, "The next thing I want to say is..."
Having said this, Li Yunze's aura suddenly changed, like a mountain standing in front of him!
He exerted force with his fingers and easily broke the bronze sword.
"Even if it is really written about King Chu, so what!"
