Chapter 117: "Swinging Words" or the Living King of Hell's Heart Method
When Gongsun Ce and Ying Zheng approached, they saw Fusu reciting "Guofeng·Zhengfeng·Shan You Fusu" behind the table.
Gongsun Ce glanced at Ying Zheng and then at Fusu. The facial features of the two were very similar, but the difference could be seen between their eyebrows and eyes.
Fusu's eyes and eyebrows reveal a bit of elegance, while Ying Zheng's eyes and eyebrows give people a strong sense of oppression.
When Ying Zheng met Fusu, his nominal eldest son, he still had a serious face, as if he was not meeting his son but a subordinate.
"Fusu."
Fusu paused while reciting the Book of Songs, then put down the bamboo slips in his hand and trotted to Ying Zheng.
"My son, please see your father."
Fusu bowed to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and Fusu stood up quickly.
The moment Fusu stood up, Gongsun Ce saw the admiration and fear in his eyes.
Ying Zheng's tone was distant and unfamiliar, "Fusu, from today on, Mr. Gongsun will be your teacher. Come over and meet the teacher."
"Mr. Gongsun."
Fusu, in his boyish form, greeted Gongsun Ce obediently.
When Ying Zheng saw that the two already knew each other, he simply left the study and handed it over to the new master and disciple.
"Fusu, what did your mentor teach you?"
Fusu skillfully found the Analects on the table, "The Analects and several chapters of the Book of Songs."
Gongsun Ce thought of "Lun Yu" and couldn't help but put on a squinting smile: ().
"Let me ask you, what does 'If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening' mean?"
Fusu thought for a moment and replied to Gongsun Ce, "If you understand something in the morning, you can die in the evening."
Gongsun Ce shook his head, "Wrong."
Fusu looked at Gongsun Ce in confusion, "But..."
"No buts." Gongsun Ce interrupted Fusu, "What this means is that I know the way to your house in the morning, and then you will be beaten to death by me in the evening."
"what?"
Fusu opened his mouth wide. He had not expected that this sentence could be interpreted in this way. Fusu suddenly felt that his three views were shocked.
Gongsun Ce smiled calmly, "The fundamental reason why the Xiongnu have been causing chaos on the border is that we can't find their base camp."
"what!"
Fusu nodded, accepting this statement. Then Fusu began to wonder if he had learned the other sentences incorrectly as well.
"Sir, then how do you accept 'At fifteen I set my heart on learning, at thirty I stood on my own feet, at forty I had no doubts, at fifty I knew the will of heaven, at sixty I was able to listen to others, at seventy I followed my heart's desire without breaking the rules.'"
Gongsun Ce spoke directly, "What I meant is, when I was fifteen years old, I was determined to learn martial arts, and then thirty people surrounded me before I could stand up and fight the enemy.
Even if forty people besiege me, I can make them clearly realize the gap in strength between us.
Even if fifty people come together, I will make them understand that I am the destiny!
Even if sixty people come together, I can still pierce their ears so that a chopstick can be inserted into the left ear and taken out from the right ear.
Even if seventy people attacked me, I could beat them as I pleased without losing my composure. "
After hearing this, Fusu couldn't help but look at his palms, as if thinking about the necessity of practicing martial arts.
Looking at Fusu's face, Gongsun Ce had a very strange idea - the cold Nezha.
Time flies, and the next day Qin State held an early morning court session.
Lü Buwei walked to his seat but found that there was someone there today. Lü Buwei usually stood at the chief position on Ying Zheng's right hand to show his status.
But Lu Buwei did not expect that someone would dare to compete with him for the position, and that this person was a young man. The most outrageous thing was that this person was still lying down.
When Gongsun Ce saw Lu Buwei coming, he ignored him and turned over from lying flat to lying on his side, his face facing the direction of Ying Zheng's chair.
Lu Buwei began to cough softly, "Cough cough cough..."
He seemed to want to use his cough to remind Gongsun Ce to give up his seat, but Gongsun Ce continued to ignore his cough and even scratched his butt.
Lu Buwei was immediately annoyed, "Ahem... "
It was not until this moment that Gongsun Ce's voice floated out, "I heard that severe coughing is a sign of kidney deficiency, and Wen Xinhou seems to fit this description."
"Mr. Gongsun, you seem to be ignorant of the rules on your first day in court. The positions of the officials of the Great Qin are based on the rank of the officials, from right to left and from front to back.
I am the Marquis of Wenxin and the Prime Minister of the Great Qin State, so..."
"So I should stand here, and the Prime Minister should seek a better position instead of making things difficult for me."
Lu Buwei glanced at the officials who were entering the court one after another, and reason told him that he should not conflict with Gongsun Ce at this time.
The fact that his position was taken away by others was enough to affect Lu Buwei's prestige.
If he blatantly takes other measures after verbal dissuasion, then he will lose face.
Seeing that Gongsun Ce was unmoved, Lu Buwei chose to endure it, but Gongsun Ce knew from Lu Buwei's expression that the matter was not over yet.
All the ministers who participated in the morning court arrived, and Ying Zheng then took the high seat.
Just as Lu Buwei was about to speak, Gongsun Ce nodded slightly at Ying Zheng, and Ying Zheng understood.
Ying Zheng just waved to Zhao Gao beside him, and Zhao Gao began to read the imperial edict.
The general meaning is as follows: Gongsun Ce became the Grand Marshal of Qin State and concurrently served as the Grand Master to teach Fusu.
Since Gongsun Ce had no military merit, he was not granted a title for the time being, but his status was that of a marquis, without any fiefdom or fiefdom.
Taiwei + Taishi + status is equivalent to Chehou
In theory, Gongsun Ce should be ahead of Lu Buwei.
This preemptive move made Lu Buwei swallow back the words he wanted to say.
If Lu Buwei had spoken before the imperial edict was issued, then Lu Buwei would undoubtedly be in the right.
After all, Gongsun Ce had no official position or title, and was even younger than Lu Buwei. It was really unreasonable for Gongsun Ce to be in this position.
However, Ying Zheng issued an edict first to confirm Gongsun Ce's position, and Lu Buwei's words, which originally made sense, now became rude.
Gongsun Ce looked at Lu Buwei leisurely and began to think about how Lu Buwei was going to continue attacking him.
Lu Buwei thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gongsun is a man of high moral character and prestige (a young man), it is natural for him to be the Grand Commandant (his virtue is not worthy of the position).
But now we are in the court, after all, and the general is lying on the ground, isn't that disrespectful and disrespectful to the king?"
"The emperor of Zhou was the king, and the prime minister was a minister of Qin, but he was also a minister of Zhou. Prime Minister Lu led a large army to attack the emperor. Doesn't that count as contempt for the king? Oh, it should be said that he contempt for the emperor."
Gongsun Ce secretly pointed out the bad thing that Lu Buwei took advantage of Ying Zheng's young age and monopolized the government. Gongsun Ce was very skilled in this matter.
Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly, "It's totally different!"
Gongsun Ce continued to ask, "What's the difference?"
