"This kid...he said this is so toxic."
Behind Xue Gongtian Wen, his aides, "Dr. Wei" and "Feng Xi" looked at Meng Zhong, and a few strange colors flashed in his eyes.
They must admit that in fact, their master Xue Gong Tian Wen was also very mean, and dubbed the feat of "five hundred soldiers successfully attacking tens of thousands of Qi army camps at night". However, they did not expect that the young man named Meng Zhong in front of him spoke even more meanly, and he actually said in a vague way that the reason why Tian Wen could stand here was entirely because he was the son of Jingguo Jun Tian Ying.
"Boy, what did you say?!... You are so brave, why don't you apologize to Mr. Xue quickly?"
Behind Tian Wen, a hero who was dressed in a strange manner angrily scolded.
Hearing this, several other heroes who were fortunate to attend the banquet also shouted, and even glared at Meng Zhong. However, Meng Zhong was too lazy to pay attention to these people, and looked directly at Tian Wen and the world-famous noble son.
After a long time, Tian Wen raised his hand to stop the shouting of the heroes around him, looked at Meng Zhong with a blank expression, and said coldly: "Meng Sima, what do you mean by 'lucky'?"
Meng Zhong said without any concessions and confronted each other: "What does the luck that Tian Xiang said just now mean? What is the luck that I mentioned below? What does it mean!"
After hearing this, a few traces of anger flashed across Tian Wen's face, and the heroes behind him were all scattered and stared at Meng Zhong fiercely, as if they were about to rush forward to teach Meng Zhong a lesson.
Seeing this, Wu Ying and Meng Hu immediately stood up from the table and looked fierce and evil. Meng Hu even shouted strangely: "What? Do you want to bully the few? I will call people now... My five hundred brothers from Xinwei are guarding outside the hall!"
"Ahu!"
Le Yi hurriedly stopped Meng Hu, and at the same time looked at Meng Zhong with a little resentment.
"Where is no impulse to agree?"
Seeing that Meng Zhong said something and offended the famous noble man like Xue Gongtian Wen to death, Le Yi sighed helplessly.
But then again, Le Yi could understand Meng Zhong. Who asked Tian Wen to use "lucky" to summarize the incident of the Shixin Guard attack on Qiying at night? Even if Le Yi heard this, he was furious.
"This...Brother Meng Hu."
Anping Jun Zhao Cheng suddenly interrupted and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue is a distinguished guest of my Zhao State. It was Meng Sima who collided with Xue. The little brother Meng Hu did not persuade Meng Sima to apologize to Tian Xiang, and even wanted to summon the Xinwei Army outside the hall. Haha, I wonder if it is Xinwei Army, whether it is Zhao Master's Father's Guard, or the private army you are waiting for?"
Meng Hu cursed bluntly when he heard this, "Who is your little brother? Do I know you very well? The shameless old guy, call me Chief Meng!"
"..." Anpingjun Zhao Cheng was dumbfounded and pointed at Meng Hu's angrily and shivered all over.
You know, Zhao Cheng is the brother of Zhao Suhou, the uncle of Zhao Zhufu, and no one in the Zhao State is respectful to him. However, today, he was called a "shameless old thing" by a teenager. Zhao Cheng never encountered such a thing.
From the side, Fengyang Jun Li Dui raised a few sneers on the corner of his mouth and said to Meng Zhong: "Meng Sima, have you instigated your subordinates to be so rude to Anping Jun?"
"Oh?" Meng Zhong turned his head and looked at Li Dui and asked calmly: "Has my subordinates done anything rude to An Pingjun?"
"Hehe." Li Dui smiled twice, pointed at Meng Hu and said to Meng Zhong, "This little... well, this commander Meng Hu is so arrogant that he insulted An Ping Jun in public... Uh, a shameless old thing. Everyone present must know clearly. Will Meng Sima still be cunning?"
"Oh." Meng Zhong nodded in a daze, then patted Meng Hu on the shoulder and said lightly: "I don't think there is anything wrong with my brother's words." As he said that, he looked around and looked at Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, and said lightly: "I, Meng Zhong, is now a minister of Zhao State. Now, Xue Gong Tian Wen, humiliated me as soon as I came up, and humiliated me, but Anping Jun ignored Xue Gong's humiliation and insisted that I, Meng Zhong, a minister of Zhao State, apologized to Xue for false things and regarded Zhao State's face as nothing. I would like to ask Anping Jun, what you do is called "shameful"?... So my brother is not wrong to scold you, right?"
When Anping Jun Zhao Cheng heard this, a strong anger appeared on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Where is the 'old thing'?!"
Meng Zhong laughed twice and said, "Old, this is a respectful title. As for things, it's better to decide for yourself. Anpingjun, do you think you are a thing?"
"You..." An Pingjun Zhao Cheng had a strong look of anger on his face, but he did not dare to attack.
Yes, how could he dare to admit that he was "not something"?
Although it is not nice to say "it's something", it is much better than "it's not something", right?
Seeing this, Meng Zhong sneered inwardly, deliberately smiled and said, "So I said, 'Shameless old thing', this is not my brother humiliating Anpingjun, it's just a fact." Speaking of this, he turned to look at Fengyangjun Li Dui and smiled, "Fengyangjun, are you satisfied with this explanation?"
“…”
He glanced at Anping Jun Zhao Cheng who dared to be angry but not attacked. Fengyang Jun Li Dui smiled reluctantly, not daring to say anything more. After all, he was afraid that he could not argue with the old man in person.
Not far away, King Zhao looked at Meng Zhong with a worried look on his face, and frequently signaled Zhao Xiangfeiyi with his eyes.
Seeing this, Fei Yi pretended to persuade him to drink and came to King Zhao with the wine bottle.
"Fatty, don't you come forward to stop me?" King He of Zhao whispered.
Fei Yi shook his head slightly and whispered to King He of Zhao: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a little understanding of Meng Sima's talents. Whether it is Zhao Cheng, Li Dui or Tian Wen, it is not certain that Meng Sima can suffer a loss... Don't you want to see Meng Sima's skills? This is a good opportunity."
"..." King Zhao He Ruo nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help asking again: "Is there really no problem?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Fei Yi laughed in a low voice: "Look at Master Zhao's father."
King He of Zhao secretly turned around and looked at Master Zhao's father, but found that Master Zhao was holding a wine bottle, looking at Meng Zhong with interest, without any intention of interfering.
Perhaps because they noticed Fei Yi, Zhao Wang and He, the father of Zhao Master looked at Fei Yi, and they looked at each other and exchanged a look in a tacit understanding.
To be fair, Master Zhao has no good feelings for Xue Gong and Tian Wen, first of all, Master Zhao has no good feelings for any Qi people, whether it is Tian Ju, Tian Zhang, or Tian Wen; secondly, Tian Wen's proposition of nearly a thousand people made Master Zhao even less fond of this exaggerated guy; not to mention that after Tian Wen first arrived in Handan yesterday, he got together with Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Du and others.
You must know that Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Du are the biggest obstacles for Zhao Master's father to regain the royal power now.
As for Zhao Xiangfei Yi, he thought about more questions than Zhao Zhufu.
On the one hand, he needed to rely on Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Du and others to curb Zhao Zhufu and Gongzi Zhang, but on the other hand, he also wanted to curb Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Du, so naturally he could not sit idly by and watch Zhao Cheng. Li Du and the other two used Tian Wen's fame to do something he didn't like.
In addition, he didn't mind "hardening" Meng Zhong with Zhao Cheng, Li Dui, Tian Wen and others. After all, after solving the problem between Zhao Zhufu and Gongzi Zhang, he still wanted to reuse Meng Zhong. By then, Meng Zhong would have to have a conflict with Zhao Cheng and Li Dui. Today, Fei Yi felt that this idea was not bad.
As for Xue Gong Tian Wen, Fei Yi also felt that this noble young man was too arrogant and did not mind using Meng Zhong's hand to slap Tian Wen's spirit, so that Tian Wen could understand that this was in Zhao after all, and Qi was now surrendering to Zhao, so Tian Wen should treat Zhao with a more respectful attitude.
It is precisely for these reasons that neither Zhao Zhufu nor Zhao Xiangfeiyi had the intention to stop the situation for the time being. Meng Zhong and others were allowed to deal with Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Dui and Xue Gong Tian Wen, and they also wanted to see what level could Meng Zhong and these teenagers do.
At this time, on Meng Zhong's side, Anping Jun Zhao Cheng had been trembling with angrily by Meng Zhong and Meng Hu. Li Du, the Fengyang Jun, was afraid that he would be humiliated by Meng Zhong and others, so he did not dare to force him too much, so he deliberately said to Tian Wen: "Mr. Xue, look at this..."
Obviously, he deliberately instigated Tian Wen to attack Meng Zhong.
Tian Wen suppressed his hand and responded to Fengyang Jun Li Dui, then looked at Meng Zhong and said coldly: "Boy, Tian travels around the country, and is regarded as a guest of honor no matter where he goes, but he has never met someone as arrogant and rude as you..."
Meng Zhong said calmly: "No, I feel that Tian Xiang is used to flattering people, so that when an upright person ignores your majesty, you are considered arrogant and rude... Do you really think that you are regarded as a guest of honor by all countries, and this is all your own talent? In this case, you might as well say a few proud things in your life, so that I can admire you."
Hearing this, Tian Wen snorted coldly, "I have thousands of visitors..."
"That's the credit of Ling Zun Jing Guojun, what do you have to do with you?" Meng Zhong interrupted calmly: "If you hadn't been Jing Guojun's beloved son and had obtained the rich Xue Yi as a fief, where would you support thousands of visitors?"
Tian Wen's face was stagnant when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "I went to Qin to be the prime minister..."
"Oh." Meng Zhong nodded and interrupted again: "I have heard of this. This Qin Prime Minister probably didn't have long been? Then he almost died in Qin. In the end, he relied on a disciple beside you to steal the white fox fur that had been given to the King of Qin and gave it to the King of Qin. He was able to be released by Qin and then fled back to Qi overnight. When he met Qin Pass on the road, he relied on a disciple to learn how to crow the chicken, so that the Qin Pass could open the pass early so that you could escape back to Qi... Tsk tsk, Xue Gong Tian Wen, who was proud of his talent, finally relied on the chicken crowing and dog thieves to escape from Qin. Could this be a commendable achievement for Tian Xiang?"
“…”
Tian Wen gritted his teeth in hatred.
I have to say that Meng Zhong deliberately confused this matter.
First of all, Tian Wen's position as Prime Minister of Qin was taken away by Master Zhao, who was tried to get rid of by Master Zhao. When he learned that Tian Wen had been to Qin as Prime Minister, he was afraid that the two countries of Qin and Qi would unite to Zhao, so he asked the Zhao State, who was in Qin, to send his minister "Lou Yan", to try to slander the King of Qin and Queen Mother Xuan, and finally let Lou Yan replace Tian Wen and become Prime Minister of Qin.
As for Tian Wen almost died in Qin, this was also Qin. Zhao knew Tian Wen's talent and did not want him to return to Qi, so he tried to get rid of him, which forced Tian Wen to flee overnight.
It's no wonder that when Tian Wen was on his way back to Qi, he asked his disciples to poke a county town in Zhao when he passed by Zhao. He hated Zhao and almost let him die in Qin. In addition, some people who didn't know how to make him die. How could Tian Wen swallow this tone?
This is one of the reasons why Zhao State covered up this matter afterwards and did not pursue Tian Wen.
Therefore, Tian Wen was dismissed from Qin and almost died in Qin. This was caused by his talent. However, Meng Zhong said this experience in full of ridicule, which made it difficult for people to carefully understand the reasons. Most of them laughed at the fact that Yu Tian Wen almost died in Qin and the disciples he kept around him at that time, Tian Wen had hundreds of visitors around him, but the ones who helped Tian Wen escape from Qin and returned to Qi were two thieves. It has to be said that this is a great irony.
Look, even Tian Wen’s guest ministers Wei Chu and Feng Xi couldn’t help it.
Wei Chu and Feng Xi are both one of the most trusted guest officials around Tian Wen. Unlike some people who make a living for diners under Tian Wen’s seat, these two are truly talented, knowledgeable, and visionary.
Among these two, Feng Xi is the most famous.
When Feng Xu collected "interest money (usu)" for Tian Wen in Xueyi, Feng Xu asked Tian Wen: "What should I buy after the debt is recovered?"
Tian Wen said casually: "Look at what I lack in my family, you can buy it back."
Feng Xi nodded to show his understanding.
Later, after Feng Xi came to Xueyi, he gathered all the folk people who owed land and cultural interest money in Xueyi, burned a box of debt deposits in public, and made the folk people in Xueyi shout "Jiu Gong benevolence and righteousness."
The next day, Feng Xi returned to Linzi from Xueyi and replied to Tian Wen.
Tian Wen was surprised at the time and asked Feng Xi: "What did you buy back?"
Feng Xu replied: "I see that you have enough food and clothing at home, and you have all the dogs, horses and beauties, so I bought you the 'Yi' and come back."
Tian Wen was puzzled: "What is 'buying righteousness'?"
Feng Xu explained: "You did not treat your citizens well, but added high interest (loan debt), and the citizens were in great pain. So I violated your order and burned all the loan notes. The citizens praised your kindness and righteousness. This is the 'buying righteousness'."
Tian Wen was very unhappy and expelled Feng Xi.
As a result, a year later, when Tian Wen returned to Xueyi, the people of the people welcomed him. Tian Wen realized Feng Xian's good intentions and quickly sent someone to search for Feng Xian's traces and invited the latter back to serve as a guest minister.
This is the allusion of "Feng Xishi Yi".
As for Wei Chu, he did the same thing as Feng Xi, and bought "Yi" for Tian Wen, and was also expelled by Tian Wen. It was not until Tian Wen realized the preciousness of "people's hearts" that he invited Feng Chu and Wei Chu back to serve as guest ministers.
However, unlike Feng Xi, Director Wei is good at internal affairs, while Feng Xi is good at debate. Therefore, although Director Wei is respected as "Wei Zi", his reputation is not as good as Feng Xi.
But no matter what, whether it is Wei Chu or Feng Xi, they are all talented and knowledgeable among the guests around Tian Wen.
Today, seeing that Meng Zhong seemed to mock Tian Wen's disciples, Feng Xi, who was good at debate, couldn't help it. He stood up and argued with Meng Zhong: "Feng doesn't agree with what Meng Sima said."
As he said that, he bowed to Meng Zhong and said seriously: "Mr. Xue was trapped in Qin because of some reasons. Meng Sima did not understand the truth, so he made arbitrary thinking that this was not advisable... Please apologize to Mr. Xue and his guests."
Seeing that the other party was polite, Meng Zhong's expression also relieved a lot. He said calmly: "Sir, are right. Similarly, Mr. Xue did not know the danger of the Xinwei Army attacking Qi camp at night, so he thought it was entirely due to luck, which is also undesirable. Please persuade Mr. Xue to apologize to the 500 Xinwei soldiers below."
Feng Xi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Meng Sima's words are surprised... I don't deny that Mr. Xue may have some prejudice against Mr. Meng Sima, but only blames the Song State in recent years. In recent years, the Song State first destroyed Teng State, and then sent troops to attack me, Xue Yi. Do you know that Xue Yi is the fief of Mr. Xue. If you want to offend, isn't it the offense of Song State first?"
Meng Zhong smiled and said, "Then Mr. Xue will go to King Song to argue, what should I do?"
