Chapter 58: Fan Sui's Self-recommendation

The weather is getting warmer, and the willow forests on the banks of Jingshui River are filled with carriages of literati and poets who are going out for spring. On a reef not far away that is exploring the water, Fan Ju was staring at the wild ducks playing in the water alone.

It has been a while since I came to Xianyang City. I tried my best to join the Qin court. The entire civil servant system was firmly controlled by Prime Minister Wei Ran. Not to mention meeting the King of Qin, even the bamboo slips written by the letter could not reach the King of Qin. I had a talent for governing the world. I originally thought that I could be valued in Wei, but I almost lost my life because of this! Later, I risked my life to escape to Qin, but it was still useless. I waited anxiously in the guest house every day, counting the rising and setting sun, but I always got endless disappointment.

"How great would it be if I could be as carefree as those wild ducks and stay away from the troubles." Fan Sui murmured.

"How come Brother Fan has the idea of ​​retiring?" A familiar voice suddenly came from his ears. Fan Sui turned around and saw Wang Ji standing next to him with a smile.

Fan Sui bowed and said, "It turned out to be Brother Wang. Oh, I'm ashamed. Sui has been in Xianyang for some time, but he has only had good strategies for governing the country but has no way to pass it in front of the court. He was discouraged and went out to travel leisurely. He wanted to change his mood to see the beautiful scenery of Jingshui, but he was complaining about it. He called Brother Wang laughing."

Wang Ji pretended to be surprised and asked repeatedly: "Brother Fan is such a bad word. Your recommended document was handed to the royal court a few days ago. The king has always been eager to seek talent. When he sees Brother Fan, he will definitely send someone to take Brother Fan into the palace immediately, and he will never delay until today. Could it be..."

Seeing that Wang Ji's expression was not as if he was fake, and his words were hesitant and seemed to be scruples, Fan Sui muttered in his heart, could there be any hidden secrets in this, and he didn't say much at the moment, pulled up Wang Ji's sleeves, came to a secluded place in the forest, bowed to the end, Wang Ji was shocked, and quickly grabbed Fan Sui's arms and said, "Brother Fan is doing something, get up quickly."

Fan Sui resisted Wang Ji's support and lowered his head and said, "Brother Wang is very concerned. You might as well say that there is no outsider here. The brother who comes out can enter Sui. Except for the world, no one knows. I also ask Brother Wang to teach me, great kindness and great virtue, and I will never forget it!"

Wang Ji sighed and said, "Well, get up first and listen to me."

Let me first talk about the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Marquis Rang Wei Ran was the younger brother of Queen Mother Xuan and the uncle of King Zhao of Qin. He controlled the government and was the number one powerful minister of Qin. He was known as the "Four nobles" together with Huayang Jun, Jingyang Jun and Gaoling Jun. Every year, he had to take a large group of chariots and horses to travel all over the country on behalf of his king Zhou, inspect officials, inspect cities, review chariots and horses, and show his power. His position has reached its peak and is very popular.

The bamboo slips that Fan Sui originally recommended by him were indeed unhindered and arrived at King Zhao's desk smoothly. However, before that, the bamboo slips, Wei Ran, had already read them first.

Fan Sui originally wanted to use some tricks, pretended to be dangerous and sensational, and intended to attract the attention of King Zhao of Qin. He wrote on the bamboo slip: "There is Mr. Fan Sui of Wei; he is outstanding in wisdom and is a debater in the world. Now he pays homage to the king, because Qin is as powerful as a burden, and if Fan Sui is not lost, he will be safe. However, his words can only be expressed in person and cannot be passed on for generations."

Wei Ran laughed unconsciously after seeing this. He saw such a madman and threw Fan Sui's self-recommendation aside. You must know that as the king of a country, King Zhao had to deal with a lot of government affairs every day and could not cover everything. Therefore, the distinction was left to Wei Ran, and the important information was stacked in a single stack, while the unimportant ones were placed on one side. Generally, King Zhao would only take a few copies of this unimportant political affairs. Unfortunately, Fan Sui's self-recommendation book was among the piles he wanted this time. In fact, this was inevitable, because Fan Sui came from the Wei State and did not have the same roots as Wei Ran and others. After entering Qin, he went back.

He was arrogant and believed that his talent and knowledge had made the King of Qin welcome him, so he did not deliberately integrate into the circle of Wei Ran and other foreign relatives. It would be strange if such a stinky fish who did not understand the rules could be accepted by Wei Ran. In addition, there were many lobbyists in the court who recommended him as a carp in the river, so it was inevitable that he would be mixed with fish and dragons, and the good and bad were inseparable. Therefore, in the upper class of Qin, there were not many good impressions of the guests and debaters from various countries, and most of them thought that there were no trustworthy people. Therefore, even if Fan Ju tried his best, as long as he did not have the support of the four nobles, it would still be difficult to join the Qin court and explain to King Zhao of Qin about the plan to safe-state governance.

Seeing Fan Sui's teeth tightly biting and suppressing his anger, Wang Ji took the opportunity to add the last straw, "Brother Fan, I have also advised the Prime Minister to find a position for Brother Fan, but after the Prime Minister knew what I was going to come, he left me a word." Wang Ji suddenly adjusted his tone, imitated Wei Ran's tone, and said disdainfully: "Sui? Madman!"

Fan Sui clenched his fists, his face turned red, he took a few deep breaths, and said with a crazy laugh: "Qin has the authority of his relatives, and seems to be powerful, but in fact, hidden dangers gradually emerge. In the long run, it will definitely not exist, so it's better not to go!"

When Wang Ji saw that the time was ripe, he suddenly said, "I have a plan to let Brother Fan see King Zhao, but this trip is dangerous. If you cannot get King Zhao's approval, you may have life worries. So please decide whether to adopt it."

......

On the morning of the morning, after many government affairs were agreed, King Zhao asked his ministers if there was any remarks as usual. At this time, Wang Ji suddenly stepped out and said respectfully: "King, I have something to do to remarks."

King Zhao raised his hand and said, "Tell me!"

Wang Ji lowered his head and said, "Yesterday, my minister passed by a restaurant and heard a crazy gang saying that I was in danger of Qin. My minister was furious at that time and went in to argue with him. Unexpectedly, the man was clearly organized and powerful in his words. In the end, the minister was speechless and retreated in a mess. After returning, the minister was uneasy. He sorted out this person's remarks into a book and asked the king to take a look."

King Zhao was very strange and ordered the chief magistrate to take the bamboo slips handed over by Wang Ji, and he saw it read: "Fan Sui, the Wei Kingdom, wanted to see the king but failed, but was called a madman! Alas... I heard that the wise monarch was in charge of the country and gave rewards to those who had made contributions to the country, and those who were capable entrusted with important responsibilities; those who were great meritorious have a wealth of wealth, and those who were talented have a high title. Therefore, those who were unable dared not take office, and those who were capable should not hide. But the stupid monarch was not like this. Reward what he loved and punished what he had evil, all depends on his temporary feelings... I heard that the good envoys

Those who are rich and wealthy will take them from the country, and those who are good at making the country rich and wealthy will take them from the princes. If there is a wise ruler in the world, the princes will not be able to do so. Why? This is because the wise ruler is good at dividing the power of the princes. Good doctors can predict the death and life of the patients, while the wise ruler can predict the success or failure of the state affairs. If it is profitable, it will be abandoned. If it is suspicious, it will be tried less. Even if Shun and Yu are reborn, it will not be changed. It is inconvenient to speak deeply... I hope the king will approve my opinion. As I said, the great cause of governing the country and developing the country is useless, and I am willing to be severely punished!"

After reading it, King Zhao pondered for a long time and asked, "Where is this person now?"

Wang Ji quickly replied, "It's in the guest house in the city."
