Back in Xianyang, Wu'anjun changed into military uniforms.

He became the smiling scholar again, sitting at the Qin King's reward banquet. Unlike other depressed generals, he just smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Qin King did not punish the generals. He visited the seriously injured Wang Yan and rewarded Meng Ao who fought against two. However, when he came to comfort Bai Qi, Bai Qi said bitterly: "Because of my incompetence, the Qin army suffered a severe blow. Please punish you."

The King of Qin narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "I heard that Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo was supported by the generals of Zhao State. The soldiers were willing to fight for him to death. Wu'an Jun was not defeated by him. The casualties of the Zhao army were far greater than that of the Qin army, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Fan Ju sat on the far left of the King of Qin, opposite him was Bai Qi. Hearing the King of Qin, he looked at Bai Qi in front of him quietly. The once intimate king, general and prime minister had already cracked. Before Bai Qi realized this, the King of Qin waved his hand and told the ministers to reward Bai Qi's contribution vigorously. Fan Ju frowned and said nothing.

The ministers sitting at the banquet looked at Fan Ju's attitude and looked at the King of Qin again, and were also a little surprised.

"King, if the person who returned from the defeat can also receive your reward, please send me to the grave to apologize to the generals who were executed for the failure of the war." Fan Ju suddenly said, and this sentence directly silenced the entire banquet, and the laughter came to anger. The soldiers looked at Fan Ju angrily, and the ministers were even more surprised. On weekdays, no matter what order the King of Qin issued, he would negotiate with Fan Ju in advance.

Therefore, in the palace, there will be no disagreement.

Now, Fan Ju directly expressed his dissatisfaction and opposition to Wang Ling.

The King of Qin sat in the upper throne, cold as if frosted, looked at Fan Ju angrily and questioned: "Wu'an Jun was able to win the supreme party for Qin and defeated the Zhao army, so that Zhao would never dare to be enemies with Qin again. The heads he captured exceeded his own casualties. Isn't this worthy of reward?"

"Qin used the soldiers of three counties to consume the power of the entire country. Is it just to capture Shangdang County?" Fan Ju stood up, looked at Bai Qi on the opposite side, and asked coldly: "Wuanjun, how dare you accept the reward from the king?"

Bai Qi and Fan Ju looked at each other, stood up helplessly, looked at the King of Qin, and said, "King, I dare not accept your reward... This is indeed my fault. If I had not misjudged the time of reinforcement of the Wei army, General Wang would not have been besieged by the main force of Zhao State. Please punish me for my fault. I am the one who committed the crime and dare not accept your reward again."

The King of Qin kept his eyes closed and said nothing. The ministers were a little worried and all lowered their heads, fearing that they would be involved in the dispute between Fan Ju and Bai Qi. This was also the first time that Fan Ju expressed his dissatisfaction with Bai Qi, and the conflict between the two was completely publicized.

The King of Qin finally did not give Bai Qi a reward, took away several of his fiefs, and ended the banquet.

Bai Qi and Fan Ju walked out of the palace and looked at each other.

Bai Qi smiled humbly.

Fan Ju looked at him coldly without saying a word.

Two warriors of Qin State walked onto the arena.

.............

King Zhao looked at the ministers in front of him and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

The ministers led by Li Mu and Dong Chengzi came to pay homage to King Zhao, and they asked King Zhao to use Ma Fujun as the prime minister. There were many ministers with them, including Lian Po, Tian Yue, Yu Qing, and even Zhao Bao, who all came to persuade King Zhao. King Zhao had just decided to use Xinling as the prime minister, but encountered such a thing. He thought about it seriously. Indeed, Ma Fujun made such contributions, but I wanted to use others as prime minister. Will this make him dissatisfied?

King Zhao hesitated a little and had to tell his ministers that he would arrange this matter himself.

When the ministers left, King Zhao called Yu Qing again and asked him about this matter. Yu Qing said seriously: "If a wise man governs the country, there is no country that will not prosper. Ma Fujun is the most wise man in Zhao State. If you regard him as your prime minister, how could the countries disrespect Zhao State?" King Zhao talked about his conversation with Zhao Kuo a few days ago and said: "I want Xinling Jun to stay in Zhao State, but I am worried about Ma Fujun..."

Yu Qing smiled and continued, "Ma Fujun will not be angry about this. He is not a person who pursues status. If Ma Fujun also agreed to your proposal to regard Xinling as prime minister, then please give an order. Those who can be recognized by Ma Fujun will not be mediocre villains."

At this time, Zhao Kuo had already left Handan.

He spent a leisure time in the horse suit, and the guests were very busy. Li Yu took many guests to start a trip to exchange grain. They wanted to exchange seeds and farm tools and distribute them to the people. When they rushed to various places and negotiated with local nobles, the nobles were still a little disdainful. However, later when they heard that they were Ma Fujun's guests, they immediately changed their attitude and even wanted to give them free of charge.

Many visitors want to accept the gift from each other, but Li Yu refused. Li Yu told them: The one that costs the least money is the most expensive.

However, Li Yu thought of everything, but forgot one thing, that is Di's mouth.

While changing grain with the nobles everywhere, Di told everyone about the matter that the King had to exchange the rewards of the King for seeds and farm tools, and to distribute them to the people. When the nobles heard it, they were in awe and did not need the plum fish to speak, they lent their own ox to the people everywhere for use. The farmers who were naked on their upper bodies, put the plough on their bodies, and walked hard in the plowing land, tears and sweat dripping on the land, and when they saw the ox sent, their excitement was indescribable.

The nobles like to imitate it very much. There will always be a person who becomes the benchmark for the nobles. What he does will become the most fashionable thing at that time and will be imitated by the nobles. For example, Zhao Shengai Ai Shi, Zhao Bao Ai Guest of the Nobles of Zhao State, and Zhao Bao Ai Want to Throw a Pot. For a period of time, there was even a king who liked to ride and shoot, so a great power of riding and shooting was born.

Nowadays, this person who is at the forefront of fashion has become a horse cousin.

This is the importance of the wise men in the country. During the Warring States Period, when a few wise men appeared in the country, or if a wise man was regarded as the prime minister, the country's comprehensive strength would improve very quickly, and it might even become a strong country because of one person. This is the role that people can play in the Warring States Period. As time goes by, these hateful and lovely nobles disappear in the long river, and the role that wise men can play becomes smaller and smaller.

However, it is a pity that the spring seeds ended very quickly, and the nobles did not have time to play a big role, and the spring seeds were already over.

This year will certainly not be a good harvest year, but there may not be too many people starving to death.

While the guests were busy, Zhao Kuo kept placing the First Emperor at home, sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun, taking out the First Emperor and putting it in his hand to start placing. This guy has no hair yet and is bald. He can make unreasonable babbling sounds at this moment. Zhao Kuo likes basking in the sun very much. Every time he sits in the warm sun and breathes quietly, this is Zhao Kuo's biggest hobby. What surprised Zhao Kuo was that the little guy also enjoyed the warm sunshine.

Every time Zhao Kuo held him and sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun, the little guy immediately slept soundly, opening and closing his mouth.

Ma Fujun is becoming more and more skilled in raising children, but his rough methods always make him scolded by Zhao's mother. For example, if a guest knocks on the door and the guests are busy going out, Zhao Kuo can only hold the little guy in his arms to open the door. Occasionally, when he eats, he will put the little guy on the desk in front of him. Every time Zhao's mother saw him, she will scold him and not let him touch the child for several days.

Zhao's mother muttered: The same kind as your father, she took the child away.

Zhao Ji often came to visit him. She would always bring some gifts and dress herself very beautifully. However, Zhao Kuo still stayed away from her and did not dare to be too close to her. He didn't like others to wear hats on him, so he did not have the habit of wearing hats on others. Gradually, Zhao Ji did not come to him. It is said that she often went to Handan to find a rich family, who was a friend of Lu Buwei. Before Ying Yiren left, it seemed that he had left money with him so that Zhao Ji could pick it up.

After staying like this for a while, finally, two good news came from Handan.

Xinlingjun became the prime minister of Zhao, and Pang Qian returned to Zhao.

The fact that Xinling Jun became the Prime Minister of Zhao did cause a great sensation. The people of Zhao did not express any dissatisfaction with this. Xinling Jun is also very famous and a recognized wise man. He can convince everyone in terms of talent and morality. Only Li Mu and others were a little dissatisfied with this. They hoped that Zhao Kuo would serve as the Prime Minister of Zhao. So, a few days after Wei Wuji became the Prime Minister, Li Mu rushed to the horse service.

When Li Mu arrived at the horse suit, he seemed a little depressed. He sat in front of Zhao Kuo and sighed.

"The Lord gave you a lot of rewards, but he refused to leave a place for you in the palace." He raised his head and continued, "After Wei Wuji became the prime minister, he blamed me for not supporting him at the beginning, so he punished me to go to Yunzhong County to serve as a deputy general... How could he become the prime minister like a villain who revenges his private revenge?" Li Mu said angrily.

Zhao Kuo teased the child in his arms. When he heard Li Mu's complaint, he handed the little guy to Han Fei behind him. He looked at Li Mu seriously and said, "I ordered Xinling Jun to do this, so that you can rush to Yunzhong to resist the bandits and the Hu people. This is my idea." Li Mu was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What is this?"

"Yunzhong has been harassed for a long time. The Huns knocked on the gates and robbed the local people. You rushed to Yunzhong to be responsible for the security of the entire Yunzhong County. Behind you are hundreds of thousands of people. I hope you can guard there alone, and you can defeat the enemy and defend the border with your own strength..." Zhao Kuo said, looking at Li Mu's eyes softer.

"The millions of people in Zhao State can rely on in the future, not me, but you."

"I have always believed that you will be the city wall of Zhao State, protect the people of Zhao State, and protect me."

"Do you blame me for sending you to the border?" Zhao Kuo asked.

Li Mu was a little excited and had a red face. He stood up and leaned over to Zhao Kuo. He said seriously: "I don't blame you. I will guard the clouds. As long as I am still there for a day, no one can humiliate the people in the clouds. I will protect the people of Zhao State, and I will protect you." Zhao Kuo then smiled and helped him up, let Li Mu sit in front of him, and seriously explained: "You need to inquire about the situation in the clouds and the situation of the enemy."

"Neither I nor General Lian Po will help you... Mu... before making a decision, you must be cautious. Your choice is to determine the fate of tens of thousands of soldiers or even hundreds of thousands of people."

Han Fei looked at the young man in front of him curiously. The young man looked older than him, but the teacher seemed to value him very much. Han Fei could not see anything unique from him. At most, he was handsome. But Han Fei never believed that people with abnormal appearance must have extraordinary achievements.

When seeing Li Mu off, Zhao Kuo told him seriously: "Xinling Jun treats you like a younger brother. He has never blamed you for your words and deeds, but you hurt his disciples and insulted his character. This is not something that a gentleman can do. Please apologize to Xinling Jun before leaving Handan."

Li Mu agreed to him.

Li Mu left, but Zhao Kuo was still a little worried. He vaguely remembered that Li Mu's famous battle was to fight the Huns in the border areas. However, Zhao Kuo believed that at that time, Li Mu was definitely not as immature as he is now. He was an experienced and already grown-up general. He asked him to face the future enemy too early, and Zhao Kuo didn't know if he had done the right thing.

However, he didn't want to interfere too much in Li Mu's growth. Will Li Mu, who grew up in the safe city of Handan, still be the famous general who was honed in the border areas?

I can only hope that nothing will happen to him.

After seeing off Li Mu, Pang Qian, the person Zhao Kuo was most looking forward to, finally arrived at the horse costume. Zhao Kuo wanted to wait for Pang Qian to rest for a few days before he went to Handan to pay homage to him, but he did not expect that he would hurry to come to the horse costume to pay homage to him. When Han Fei brought the old man to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo hurriedly stood up, clamped the little guy, and paid a visit to Pang Gong.

Mr. Pang was startled by his actions and quickly asked him to get up and not to throw the child.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Please don't worry, my son is not that delicate."

After saying that, Zhao Kuo was stunned, as if something was wrong?

Pang Qian came to Zhao Kuo to seek out the system of reforming the official system and selecting talents. When he heard the King of Zhao excitedly talk about what Zhao Kuo said to him, the old man suddenly stopped calm. He quickly said goodbye to King Zhao and said that he would go to the horse service to pay homage to Zhao Kuo and discuss this matter. When King Zhao heard that he was even more anxious than him, he directly sent him a few horses and asked him to go to the horse service earlier.
