As an old minister of the three dynasties, Chulong had the privilege of getting off the car without getting off the car in the palace of King Zhao. It was not until under Fengtai that he got out of the carriage, squinted his eyes and looked at the slowly rising sun in the east. Then he leaned on the dove stick given to him by King Huiwen of Zhao and climbed up slowly along the stairs.

"It's really hard for the Zuo Shigong to work hard for the state. The Empress Dowager asked the old servant to come and greet him." Ling Miaoxian, an eunuch with the same gray hair, was already waiting here and walked over to help Chulong.

"I have a hard-working eunuch order, and I have nothing to do. I am just worried about the empress dowager's jade body. I haven't seen her for a long time. I can still move my old bones, so I went to the palace to visit her. The empress dowager doesn't like me to be troubled."

"The Zuo Master's words are very wrong. When the Empress Dowager heard that Zuo Master's arrival, she was happy that she was not too late and waited on Fengtai early in the morning."

The two of them walked side by side, and looked like an ordinary old man, with low-key and calm steps, and a kind smile behind their beard. They not only returned the favor to Miao Xian, but also nodded to the temple people in the palace who greeted him one by one.

In the eyes of everyone, Zuo Shigong has always been such a person, an old minister of the three dynasties who did not care about power and position. He looked harmless, polite, cautious, and had an attitude of not caring about the world. This is the consensus of most people in Zhao.

However, Miao Xian, who had worked with him for decades, knew that this was also the most trusted old minister in the royal family of Zhao. His inadvertent words may be heavier than the generals and ministers. Who would be the one who could move him into the palace to meet the queen mother?

Miao Xian glanced at Longtai in the distance, knowing that if he had been ten years earlier, he might have been going to praise the new king's stinky feet, but now, as a stalemate of the former king, his heart would have long been dead.

After a while, the two finally arrived on the Fengtai and couldn't help but panting. Chulong turned his head and looked at Handan City and Zhao Palace, who were awakening from his sleep, and suddenly laughed and said, "Eunuch's order, do you remember when I first entered the palace to teach the former king?"

At that time, King Huiwen of Zhao was still a young man, while Miao Xian was just a young man in a small temple. In the same position, there is now one person missing.

"Time is forbidden, now we are old." Chulong sighed deeply.

"Yes, Zuo Shigong."

Miao Xian responded: "The old servant can't do it anymore. Just as he was planning to resign from his post in the palace after the king took power, he went to guard the tombs of the former king, and waited for the former king to summon the old servant to serve in the Huangquan."

The emperor and the ministers are the most clear about this principle. But after hearing Miao Xian’s words, he could not help but feel sad as if the rabbit died and the fox was sad. He couldn’t help but be moved: “The eunuch ordered…”

"Zuo Shigong doesn't have to feel sorry for his old servant. You and I understand, this Zhao State..."

Miao Xian smiled: "It's already the era of young people!"

After saying that, Miao Xian gave in to the side, revealing the body of a young man who bowed to the dragon outside the main hall of Fengtai.

She was wearing a deep clothes on the ground, a plain cicada dress, a beautiful face, and a weak crown and bright eyes. She was the three-year-old "unfilthy son" Chang'an Jun who had not been weaned in the impression of Chulong!

After giving the salute in a straightforward manner, Mingyue raised her head and said to Chulong: "Boy Zhao Guang, I have met Zuo Master!"

...

Chang'an Jun could not find any fault in his etiquette, but Chulong still frowned.

Yesterday, in Zhao Mu's narration, the disputes in the Zhao Palace were all because Chang'an Jun was greedy for the comfortable life in the palace and was unwilling to go to Qi as a hostage, so he cried, made a fuss and hanged, which made Empress Dowager Zhao insist on maintaining it.

"If what Zhao Mu said is true, Chang'an Jun should be a rich son who is used to being frugal and well-behaved. Relying on the empress doting, he delayed national affairs..."

The practice of the Taoist Huang-Lao technique was the Taoist Huang-Lao. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Lao Tzu said that if you love a lot, you will lose a lot. If you hide more, you will lose a lot. Throughout history, this kind of favored child has never ended well...

The first impression killed people. When facing Chang'an Jun, Chulong had no good attitude, but he just replied indifferently: "The old minister came to meet the queen mother, but he never thought he met Chang'an Jun."

Although the meaning of Chulong was not expressed, Mingyue felt clear in her heart, "If you have something to do, please let go if you have nothing to do. I still have state affairs, so I am busy!"

Now the two of them are confronting this Fengtai, staring at them with many eyes. Mingyue cannot start by asking about her health and getting along with her, and there is not much time left for him.

Since that's the case, it's better to go straight to it alone!

So Mingyue then said to Chulong: "Prince Zuo is here to wait. I have something to say today and I want to ask the Prince Zuo."

"Oh, I wonder what Chang'an Jun is going to say to Lao I?" Chulong glanced at the Fengtai Hall behind Chang'an Jun, a little absent-minded about this younger generation.

Mingyue approached a few steps, came to Chulong, and took the initiative to support him. In the morning sun, only some light yellow fluffy lips moved slightly.

Miao Xian, who consciously moved away many steps and deliberately did not listen to the conversation, looked from afar, and saw Chulong's face paused, showing a look of surprise, turned to look at Chang'an Jun, and then asked strangely: "Chang'an Jun, do you say, do you want to go to Qi as a qualifier?"

...

"Why?"

The information obtained from Zhao Mu and the behavior of the boy in front of him had a huge contradiction. Chulong was a little confused for a moment, and immediately blurted out his questions.

"Why did Chang'an Jun want to go to Qi State? Being a proton is not a hunting or roaring, there are many dangerous accidents."

"The Zuo Shigong's words were wrong."

Mingyue smiled and said, "I have heard a story from the Spring and Autumn Period. Xiangao, a merchant from Zheng, was doing business abroad. On the way, he met the Qin army. When he learned that the Qin army was going to attack Zheng, he sent people back to the country to report the enemy situation, while disguising himself as an envoy of Zheng, and rewarded the Qin army with twelve oxen as a gift. The Qin army thought that Zheng had already known about the sneak attack, so he had to return."

This is the story of Xian Gao rewarding his master. Although Zheng State was destroyed by South Korea more than a hundred years ago, this deed has been passed down to this day. Chu Long, as the learned Zuo Shi, naturally knows it.

Mingyue continued: "Zheng State avoided destruction, so Zheng Jun wanted to reward Xian Gao, but Xian Gao politely declined. He said that as a Zheng person, it is natural to be loyal to the country. If you receive the award, wouldn't you treat me as an outsider?"

After saying that, Mingyue looked serious and said in a serious tone that a fifteen-year-old boy should not have: "Now, a boy wants to share his worries for the country and go to Qi as a magistrate, but Zuo Shigong asked me why he wanted to go, wouldn't he treat me as an outsider? Isn't a boy a child of the Zhao family? Isn't a boy from Zhao? Those who are the king protect their lives, those who are loyal to the ministers, and those who are the kings are responsible for defending their territory. I am the king of Zhao. In trouble in Zhao State, if I need me, I will not stand up, and I will still watch it?"

A word was spoken from the boy, making a loud noise. Miao Xian was so excited that he was so surprised that he said it.

Is this still the young and weak Chang'an Jun he remembered? Is this still the rich young man who didn't know the generality and delayed state affairs? Is this what he thought, or who taught him?

After looking up and down the moon again, Chulong suddenly laughed and said:

"Jun Chang'an, when will you become aware of reason and speak?"

Mingyue was no longer afraid that people would look at him like this, and he did not hide it. He responded in an old-fashioned manner: "Scholars should treat each other with admiration for three days, let alone the young master? Why did Master Zuo see things late?"

"A man should take his respect for three days after leaving, and he should be treated with admiration, and he said it well!"

He chewed this sentence carefully and laughed. Such a quick and appropriate response was definitely not something that others could give him: "It's not bad, it's because he is clumsy in his eyes and deafness, and he doesn't know the wise young master, and he is rude."

In his heart, Zhao Mu, the villain who arranged Chang'an Jun randomly yesterday, scolded him solemnly, bowed to Mingyue, and said, "Since Chang'an Jun has made up his mind to go to Qi as a magistrate, I and the Empress Dowager said it clearly, why bother..."

Looking at the bitter smile on Mingyue's face, Chulong stopped talking.

"That's right. Some words are indeed something that Chang'an Jun is not convenient for him to say. It seems that I still have to enter the palace."

He shook his head helplessly, and Chulong was about to continue walking forward, but he stopped again, turned his head to look at Mingyue, and asked playfully: "Dare you ask Chang'an Jun, how do you think I should persuade the Empress Dowager?"

Mingyue pretended to be thoughtful, and said for a while: "Boy thinks that you should understand it with emotion and move it with reason."

Induce it for profit, explain it with reason, move it with emotion, threaten it with power, and teach it with fishing...

This sentence was originally used by Confucius to describe how to induce students to learn, but now it is used here in reverse, but there is no sense of incongruity.

Now, Chulong really has to treat Chang'an Jun with admiration, because Mingyue's words revealed the lobbying method he had planned for a long time in his heart.
