Chapter 1038: It is better to be sincere [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket]

Not only Wu Rui was not clear about this question, even the Golden Order Sword Special Envoy who brought him here was a little confused.

The Golden Arrow Special Envoy knew that Ying Zheng would want to meet Wu Rui, but he did not expect it to be of such a high standard.

Even Fusu was very curious. This kind of treatment was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

"Take a look!" Ying Zheng signaled his attendant to hand a document to Wu Rui.

Wu Rui was a little confused, but still carefully took the document.

There was a list of names on the document, which included young talents such as Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Cao Shen, Bai Qingshan, and Wu Rui. However, the signature was from the Prime Minister's Office of Bingzhou.

"What is this?" Wu Rui asked puzzledly.

"This is a list of young talents from all over the world compiled by the Prime Minister's Office of Bingzhou. Mr. Wu Rui's name is also on the list, and he is evaluated as a talent who can assist the king." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"This..." Wu Rui did not expect that he would appear on the list of young talents compiled by Bingzhou, and the evaluation was so high.

Among them, Meng Tian was evaluated as the commander of a large army and the best military talent in the world.

Cao Shen is evaluated as a person who maintains stability.

Meng Yi is a person who is good at finding and filling in the gaps.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind!" Wu Rui did not think that he could be ranked alongside Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Cao Shen and other young talents who had already achieved success and shown their potential.

"If someone else said it, I wouldn't believe it, but I and the whole world believe in Emperor Xuanwu's vision!" Ying Zheng said seriously.

What he admired was Yan Yan's vision. Bingzhou's current achievements were inseparable from Yan Yan's ability to know how to use people. People like Li Ren, Luo Bing and Gongsun Nu were not well-known back then. Even Meng Tian was not taken seriously by the Qin State, otherwise Meng Tian would not have been abducted by Bingzhou.

As for why Bingzhou has this list, there are many scholars on the list who are latent dragons in the abyss and have little fame. The Qin State has no doubt about this. All the schools of thought have entered Bingzhou, so it is normal for Bingzhou to have such a list.

The Qin State was even happy to have Bingzhou help them compile the list. After all, many of the scholars on the list were still studying at home, and the Qin State only needed to intercept Bingzhou to recruit a large number of talents.

Therefore, Wu Rui, who had no owner but ranked high, became a hot commodity in the eyes of the Qin State.

Wu Rui looked at the long list carefully again and guessed why the Qin State attached so much importance to him.

In addition to his talent as a king's assistant as evaluated above, the Qin State also wants to use him to set an example to tell other sages that the Qin State values ​​talents!

This is like during the reign of Duke Xiao of Qin, scholars from Shandong were unwilling to enter Qin. But after Duke Xiao of Qin issued an order to recruit talents, set up a talent recruitment hall, and listed the mistakes of all Qin monarchs of all dynasties, scholars from Shandong also began to enter Qin.

Now he is the role model that Qin State wants to set for scholars all over the world, telling them that Qin State only employs talents.

Thinking of this, Wu Rui also understood that his momentum had risen. As long as he proceeded step by step and did not commit suicide, the path to one of the Nine Ministers of Qin would be opened for him, and he might even be able to hope for the position of Prime Minister.

"Now that you're on this list, the doors of Qin and Bingzhou are open to you. Are you willing to serve in Qin?" Ying Zheng spoke directly to recruit him personally.

Wu Rui also understood that this was Qin's initiative to show goodwill to him. If he was unwilling to serve in Qin, then Qin might not kill him, but he could forget about going to Bingzhou.

Wu Rui glanced at Wei Liaozi, the state commander of Qin State. This was his role model. If he insisted on going to Bingzhou, his fate would be the same as Wei Liaozi's, being monitored for the rest of his life and placed under house arrest in Xianyang.

When Wei Liaozi saw Wu Rui looking at him, he also shook his head slightly.

Although he held a high position as the Qin State's National Commandant, his rank was not high. Many officers in the National Commandant's Office had higher ranks than him, so he couldn't mobilize those people.

For example, if people like Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Yang Duanhe, and Li Xin really ignored him, there was nothing he could do.

"Scholar Wu Rui is willing to serve as an official in Qin!" Wu Rui still knows the difference between active and passive.

At least since I went to Qin on my own initiative, my personal freedom will not be restricted.

"Good!" Ying Zheng laughed heartily.

Sure enough, nothing makes people happier than intercepting the talent that Hu Yanyan has his eyes on.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have fallen into a trap!" Wang Wan shook his head.

This list came so suddenly.

Wu Rui had just left Changsha when Xianyang received this list. It was obviously the usual Confucian trick to create momentum!

However, the fact that Wu Rui was able to get so much support from Bingzhou and Confucianism shows that his talent is unquestionable.

Confucianism and Bingzhou still have to have some dignity. They cannot show off those who are just filling in the numbers.

Anyone who comes from Confucianism and has the support of Confucianism usually has some talent.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Wang Wan did not speak up to stop Ying Zheng.

At least Bai's talent can establish the image of Qin as a country that selects virtuous people and appoints capable people, and win the hearts of scholars all over the world.

This is a naked conspiracy.

"Sir, what do you think is the biggest difficulty for our Great Qin to conquer the Baiyue in the south?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile, and began to test Wu Rui.

Wu Rui also understood what kind of achievements he would make. It all depended on whether his answer satisfied the Qin State.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Sui Hou Zhu?" Wu Rui did not answer directly, but talked about Sui Hou Zhu instead.

"The two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, Sui and He, refer to the Suihou Pearl and the Heshi Jade. The two great treasures were originally in the State of Chu. After my Great Qin conquered Chu, the Suihou Pearl and the Heshi Jade also belonged to my Great Qin. Among them, the Heshi Jade was also used as raw material by me to be carved and made into the imperial seal of my Great Qin!" Ying Zheng said domineeringly, and then took the Suihou Pearl out of his arms and played with it in his hand.

As for the Heshi Bi, it was carved by jade craftsmen in the Shaofu and made into an imperial seal.

"King Wu of Chu destroyed the State of Sui. However, after the destruction of Sui, the people of Sui never joined Chu again. This was one of the reasons for the later conflicts between Wu and Chu. The State of Wu can be said to have inherited the legacy of Sui. Therefore, it is easy to destroy a country, but it is difficult to regain its loyalty!" Wu Rui continued.

Ying Zheng and others also understood Wu Rui's meaning. It is easy to destroy the Baiyue, but it is difficult to make the Baiyue return to their loyalty.

"Therefore, I think that conquering Baiyue is not difficult, and the best thing is to win their hearts!" Wu Rui spoke again.

"So what will you do, sir?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"No one wants to live in the mountains and forests with monkeys. As long as the Qin is willing to help them get out of the mountains, set up counties, and help the Baiyue live a prosperous life, the Baiyue are not so unruly!"

Wu Rui introduced his plan in detail, or rather, what the Tan Tai family had always wanted to do over the years but had not been able to do.

Seeing Wu Rui talking freely, without the restraint and nervousness he had at the beginning, Ying Zheng and others had a better impression of Wu Rui. After all, a man is the most confident and contagious when he is serious.

"But..." Wu Rui suddenly changed the subject.

"But what?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise.

"The Qin State does not intend to let these 500,000 troops return intact, right?" Wu Rui looked straight at everyone present.
