Chapter 90 The Fifth Young Master Ji in the Five Nations Conference
Zhuzi Terrace in the center of Handan East City is famous all over the world.

In the early morning of that day, everyone in the Ji Mansion dressed up and marched towards Zhuzitai.Not everyone in Ji's mansion is qualified to go. The fifth son originally brought only Sun Le, but the city lord Ji thought that the fifth son is now famous, so he ordered him to take A Fu and Shuang Shu along. The same goes for the other princes, with only one attendant behind him, and only one diner, Mugong, behind the Lord Ji.

In this way, only five carriages from the team of Qi Di Ji Mansion drove out.
The long-awaited event is coming, and everyone is a little nervous at this time.In addition to the fifth son, the third son and the nineteenth sons are also eager to try.

At the last meeting of the clansmen, although Ji Wu was the only one who stood out in the limelight, everyone knew that the talent shown by the fifth son was the academic aspect of establishing a sect, but this kind of talent would not become a contender for the successor of the clan. The only condition for the position.After all, a qualified heir is more of an all-around management talent.Therefore, their chances have not been reduced because of the fifth son's big show.

Of course, this family set the first test at the Five Kingdoms Wise Men's Conference, it seems that the test is about talent and learning.In this level, I am afraid that no one can compare with the Fifth Young Master.

Every young master has been dressed deliberately, and so is the fifth young master. He is wearing a light blue robe, which is embroidered with patterns of peonies and cranes with gold silk. The five sons all looked rich and noble.

As for his inner robe, he was still wearing his favorite moon white silk garment.The moon white set off his handsome and cool face even more dusty.It is this kind of temperament that is both rich and noble and cool and dusty combined together, which makes the fifth son even more charming and unattainable.

Sun Le is still dressed in sackcloth, her body is only suitable for wearing sackcloth.

Everyone sat in the carriage and slowly drove towards the East Street.No one spoke, and the entire convoy was silent. Sun Le looked and saw that everyone's faces were a little nervous.

Fifth Young Master was also a little nervous, his back was straight, his handsome face was tense, and he was sitting quietly with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart.

When entering the East Street, the scenery changes completely.Only horse carts, ox carts, and donkey carts can be seen on the entire street, and there are very few pedestrians.Occasionally, I saw a few of them walking closely on both sides of the street.

As soon as their carriage entered here, the speed slowed down.

The long queue of vehicles has been stretching the entire East Street, with no end in sight.

After queuing for an hour, the carriage of Ji Mansion drove into the square in front of Zhuzitai.

Sun Le followed Fifth Young Master and jumped off the carriage. There are countless vehicles in this square. Just looking at this carriage makes one feel guilty.She looked at Fifth Young Master, and sure enough, his thin lips were pursed even tighter.

City Lord Ji pointed to the huge stone house in front of Zhuzitai, turned around and said, "That's it, let's go in."

Everyone responded neatly: "No."

There are more than ten stone houses in Zhuzitai, and there are densely packed carriages parked in front of each stone house.And these carriages parked the most in front of the main hall.At this moment, Sun Le knew that most of the carriages parked in front of the other stone houses were people who wanted to watch the fun but couldn't get in.

You know, this meeting of the wise men of the Five Kingdoms, everyone who joins the meeting has a background.If the main family of the Ji clan can get all of their own clansmen to join the membership, that is already a skill.

Sun Le followed closely behind the fifth son and walked towards the main hall.Outside the main hall, hundreds of Zhao Guo guards in full armor, armed with spears, guarded the various passages.

When he came to the main hall, what Sun Le saw was a mass of black heads.She took a rough look, and there were at least a thousand of these heads.

Qi Di Ji's Mansion is a small family, and Ji City Master took his sons to look for it in a remote corner on the right.In this era, the left is the most precious.

Originally, people like them were extremely inconspicuous.However, no matter how inconspicuous the team is, it also looks dazzling because of the outstanding fifth son.Everyone moved around.Countless pairs of eyes looked over one after another, and their eyes fell on the fifth young master without exception.

A whisper came into Sun Le's ears, "Who is this boy? So handsome?"

"Besides the most beautiful boy in Qidi, Ji Wu, who else could it be?"

"Ji Wu? But the Ji Wu who is making a lot of noise now?"

"promise."

"Brother, then it should be Ji Wu. It is said that Ji Wu is as beautiful as jade, and there is an ugly childish girl who is quite talented by his side."

When Sun Le heard this, his head was a little dizzy: Why is it always like this?When it comes to me, I have to add an ugly childish prefix?

She pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that such fame was not interesting at all. Thinking of this, she shrank towards the Fifth Young Master.

The fifth son felt her strange movement, looked down at her, and saw her uncomfortable expression on Sun Le's expression.He stretched out his left hand, gently shook Sun Le's right hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, they are just a bunch of shallow people."

When Sun Le's little hand was held by his big hand, a warm feeling flooded his body. Sun Le was afraid that he would lose his composure, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "No."

Fifth Young Master nodded, and gently released her hand.

Sun Le looked at his right hand, it seemed that there was still residual warmth in that hand!Damn, I'm thinking wildly again!

Sun Le took a breath and quickly regained his composure.

The table in the corner on the right was already full of people, and Sun Le took a look, and they were all members of the Ji family!Everyone chose this position unanimously.

Yan Si, who was sitting at the seat of Yandi, turned his head and waved at the fifth son from a distance, while Ying Shisan, who was beside him, also turned his head and looked at the fifth son and Sun Le.

Fifth Young Master smiled slightly at Yan Si and crossed his hands to signal.

After Qi Diji's Mansion sat down, the hall was noisy for a while before it gradually became quiet.

Sun Le looked at the main hall, Zhao, Qi, Liang Chen, and Yan envoys were standing on one side, and these envoy groups had hundreds of people.In addition to these people, there are some scattered nobles, as well as the members of the Ji family on the right corner.

Everyone was kneeling and sitting on the slum, and on the several sides in front of them were fine wine, pastries, hot rice porridge and large pieces of overcooked mutton.

The main hall is very high and empty, with windows on all four sides, so that although thousands of people are seated in the hall, it doesn't look crowded and stuffy.

In front of the main hall is a two-meter-high stone platform with hundreds of square meters.On the stone platform are chime bells, guqin, sheng, zither and other musical instruments.A door was opened on the right side of the stone platform, and there were a lot of people inside the door.

And the closest to the stone platform, closely adjacent to the seats of the envoys from various countries, are the seats of King Zhao, Queen Zhao, the eldest prince and others.At this time, they had already sat down on their knees, and behind the princes, Sun Le saw Mrs. Xu.Turning her eyes, she saw that in the seat of Liang Guo's envoy, sitting in the most conspicuous place was Prince Liang.

Zhao Wang is in his 40s, a little puffy, with bluish black on his fat face. Just sitting like this, his forehead is soaked with sweat from time to time, and his eye sockets are sunken and black. Consumption, but such a person, when his eyes are closed, his vision is like lightning, and the whole person is aging when he closes his eyes.

At this time, a person came out from the small door behind the stone platform.

As soon as this person walked out, the people in the first hall immediately became extremely quiet, and even coughing could not be heard.

This man is about 37 or [-] years old. He has a high crown and a high belt. He has a fair and square face and three long beards. The noble air that only the high-ranking people have.The combination of these two temperaments made the people in the hall naturally solemn.

The man went straight to the middle of the stone platform, and Sun Le heard a low voice from beside him, "This is Ion? It's really extraordinary." Ion, the world's leading sage, is also here? "

ion?Sun Le has also heard that this person is the representative of Confucianism in the world, and it is he who first separated the word Confucianism from the honorific title and became an independent school.Many of his theories are valued by the princes of the time, and even the declining Zhou Dynasty is also regarded as a guest of honor.

Sun Le has also read his theory, and it is quite similar to the Confucianism of Confucius that she is familiar with. Of course, Ion's theory is shallower and simpler, only a little bit of the Confucianism she knows.

It is also the existence of this ion that makes Sun Le very confused. Now she really can't figure out where is the world she traveled through?

Ion walked to the stone platform, looked at everyone with piercing eyes, and said loudly: "Masters, today's three-yearly meeting of the wise men of the five countries will be held. This time, the meeting of wise men will last for two days as before. Ask a question, and all the sages here are qualified to express their opinions."

Ion is obviously not a person who likes to talk nonsense. When he spoke up to this point, he nodded towards the Zhao royal family, and said loudly: "Zhao Nai is the master of the host, and the first question is also asked by the envoy Zhao."

After finishing speaking, he raised his long sleeves, took a few steps back, walked down the steps of the stone platform, and sat down on the empty table in the first row on the left.

The first level is Zhao Guo's question?
All of a sudden, countless pairs of eyes looked at the fifth young master.

Especially among the members of the Ji clan, they frequently paid attention to the fifth son.City Lord Ji was a little excited. He stared at the fifth son, and said in a low voice, "Wu'er, this is the moment when you become famous all over the world. You can do it yourself."

Ji Wu stared at the front and replied softly: "No."

Sun Le noticed that maybe it was an imminent situation, but at this moment, the fifth son was not nervous.Not only was he not nervous, but his sparkling eyes fully showed his excitement.

As soon as Ion made the announcement, Prince Zhao and the Zhao envoys behind him began to whisper to each other.

There was also a touch of excitement on the faces of these people, and some of them looked at the corner where the fifth young master was at from time to time.Sun Le looked at the group of people quietly, and thought to himself: It should be Prince Zhao who asked the question he asked in Mrs. Xu's mansion, right?Following his opening, the storm hidden under the peace will show a ferocious face!Perhaps this day will become a mark in history, because it heralds the coming of an era of great chaos!

Sun Le was not the only one who felt this, almost all the sages present felt it!All of a sudden, there was a bit of oppression in the hall!Many people even deliberately hold their breath.

Under everyone's gaze, Prince Zhao stood up.

Today's eldest prince, he still wears a golden crown, light black underwear, and a lavender robe. He has a long face and long eyebrows and phoenix eyes. The brows that are almost connected together with the eyes that are astonishingly bright add a bit of prestige.

The eldest prince strode up to the stone platform. He stood in the middle of the stone platform. After scanning the crowd with piercing eyes, he raised his voice and said slowly: "The problem with my country of Zhao is: at the beginning of the world, the emperor gave the order of the world. He is the Son of Heaven. Then, can the Son of Heaven last forever? If so, how can Shang Yin replace Xia?"

After repeating the question he had raised in Mrs. Xu's mansion, he paused and said: "There have been seven meetings of the wise men of the five countries so far. People can answer it in just two days. There are some questions that no one has answered since the first meeting of the Five Kingdoms until today. I asked the question that Zhao Guo asked me a few days ago. Proclaiming to the world, this is something you wise men have thought about for a long time."

The eldest prince stopped for a while, and he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the members of the Ji clan, and looked at the fifth young master who was sitting in the corner, but was as dazzling as the bright moon.

As the eldest prince looked at Ji Wu, for a moment, countless pairs of eyes followed the eldest prince's gaze to look at him.Among these gazes, only a few knew the Fifth Young Master and his theories, and more people were puzzled.

Facing the attention of hundreds of people, Fifth Young Master straightened his back, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

As soon as the eldest prince raised his voice, he said loudly: "This difficult problem in our country, in just a few days, a wise man has already given a good answer."

As soon as the eldest prince's voice fell, he raised his breath, and his loud voice echoed in the hall, "I invite the fifth son of Qi Diji to come on stage and say something!"

As soon as the eldest prince said this, everyone turned their heads to look at the fifth young master.

All of a sudden, countless surprised and puzzled voices kept coming, "He is Qi Di Ji Wu? He is clearly a young man with no hair!"

"Such a beautiful young man, is it possible that he still has an amazing talent?"

"Huh! It's just an ignorant child!"

Everyone's stares, countless whispers, and low laughter all came to the ears of the fifth young master one by one.

But at this time, the Fifth Young Master had already swept away the previous nervousness, his back was straight, his handsome face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Under the stares of everyone, he slowly bowed his body and walked out slowly.

In the 200-meter main hall, the fifth son walked forward step by step, thousands of pairs of eyes stared at him without blinking.At this time, the fifth son's unworldly beauty and aura of wealth combined seemed so eye-catching.As he passed the crowd step by step, everyone seemed to be intimidated by his elegance and self-confidence, and the originally noisy hall gradually became quiet as before.

The fifth young master strode up the stone platform, he turned around, and looked at everyone with piercing eyes.

After a while, he raised his head slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Masters," his voice was clear and cold, like gold and jade striking each other, and it was indescribably sweet, like the constant whirling in the hall, "Zhao's problem is, One is the beginning of heaven and earth, when the emperor was ordered by heaven and earth to be the son of heaven. Then, can the son of heaven last forever? If so, how can Shang cause replace Xia? These two questions are actually one. Ji Wu’s answer is, Son of Heaven can last forever!"

He said this loudly, and in the silence, he said again decisively: "But there is a rotation!"

Everyone is in an uproar!

The fifth son stared at everyone with clear eyes, and he continued to say until the hall was quiet for a while, "This eternity is the destiny of heaven, and the destiny of heaven exists forever! But the sons of heaven have to take turns. Handed over to the new dynasty! Just like Yin Zhou in the past, although he got the mandate from heaven, if he could not respect morality and protect the people, he would lose the popular support. Once the popular support is lost, the destiny is also lost! Take it back there and hand it over to Da Zhou."

The uproar gradually subsided, and everyone began to discuss in whispers.

After a while, the discussion gradually turned quiet.

The fifth prince looked ahead quietly, and after everyone was quiet for a while, he glanced at them one by one and said in a clear voice: "In the end of the sky, everything is orderly! Ji Wu is not talented, and he learned from the theory of the derivation of the five elements written by the Ji family Qiu Gong." God's will. All things in nature belong to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth! And wood restrains earth, replaces earth, metal restrains wood, replaces wood, fire restrains metal, replaces gold, water restrains fire, replaces fire, earth restrains water, replaces water, starting from earth, After passing through wood, metal, fire, and water, it returns to earth."

His loud voice resounded in the hall, "Ji Wu believes that the sky corresponds to people, and the sky corresponds to the earth! Everything in the world is in harmony with everything in the world! Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can be the natural derivatives of everything in the world."

When the fifth son of Ji said this, his voice suddenly raised, and he said loudly: "When an emperor is about to prosper, there must be a corresponding auspicious sign in the heaven and earth. When the Yellow Emperor was in power, the sky saw the big mole first, and the Yellow Emperor said: "The rustic spirit prevails! "Because the air of earth prevails, so it is time to regard yellow as the most precious and yellow as the flag! The matter is earth. In the time of Yu, the sky saw that the grass and trees would not be killed in autumn and winter. Yu said: "The energy of wood is superior!" The energy of wood is superior, so its color is green. Green is the most precious, and green is the flag! Its work is wood. At the time of Tang, heaven saw a golden blade born in water. Tang said: "The golden energy is superior!" The golden energy is superior, so the color is white as the most precious, and white is the flag Its work is gold. At the time of King Wen, the sky first saw fire, and the red bird held the alchemy book in the Zhou Society. King Wen said: "Fire Qi wins!" Its work is fire."

At this point, his voice paused, and he raised his voice word by word: "In this world, the royal family is in decline, and the virtue of fire has declined! The destiny has changed! The one who replaces fire must be replaced by water!"

What the Fifth Young Master said later was said at the gathering of all the clansmen of the Ji Mansion, and he was just repeating it at this time.

All present here are outstanding sages from the five countries.Some of them have heard Ji Wu's words before, but they still don't know how to say them.Of course, there are more sages who have never heard such words.

At this moment, the Fifth Young Master put forward his theory again, and all of a sudden, everyone in the hall showed astonishment, and whispered to each other for a while.

This time the whispers were too loud, and many people were out of their minds. It seems that some time should be given to those who have not heard this theory to digest.Prince Zhao stood up and said loudly: "Everyone can rest first, and ask questions later in half an hour!"

After he made the announcement, he looked at the fifth young master standing in front of the stone platform, waved and called, "Ji Wu, come here and wait a while."

Fifth Young Master also had the same intention, and immediately responded, "No."

After agreeing to the promise, he strode to Zhao's room and sat down.He didn't notice that the table arranged for him by Prince Zhao was already close to the ion, and was at the same level as him.

And this, Sun Le noticed.She knew that those princes and princes who were always ambitious would spare no effort to praise him as a treasure after receiving the fifth son's theory.

She turned her eyes around the hall, and her heart tightened: It seems that there are still quite a few Royalist factions. In the hall, there are so many people who are looking at the fifth son with murderous intent!
Amidst the murmurs in the first hall, the eldest prince turned his head to look at the fifth son. He picked up a cup of wine from the table and said with a smile: "The fifth son Ji is indeed very talented. After I got a word from the son last time, I finally put out the wine that framed me." The real culprit of Ai Ji has been found out. I have never had the opportunity to thank you son, please drink this cup!"

The eldest prince made such an obvious gesture of favor, how could the Fifth Young Master refuse?At that moment, he picked up his wine glass, and said in a clear voice: "The eldest prince has won the award. That time Ji Wu just said it casually, but it can't be counted."

The eldest prince laughed, and after a laugh, he sighed and said: "My diners are all pretentious, knowing that I feel bitter, but they didn't say a word. If the fifth son hadn't told me that day, "even parents, brothers and sisters are fine." Harm to each other', I never doubted that my new sister of Ai Ji would go to her. Hey, if Ai Ji hadn't begged again and again, I would not have accepted her as a sister. I never thought that, usually this Gentle and pure, the little girl who shed tears before she finished speaking is actually so vicious! She even framed her own sister in order to win the favor! Slandering Xiuji! Her trick of two birds with one stone, if not for the words of the young master, I might have succeeded !"

When the eldest prince said this, he obviously still had lingering fears in his heart, he shook his head repeatedly with a gloomy expression on his face.

When the fifth young master heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, with a bitter look on his face.Seeing his expression, the Eldest Prince wondered: "Could it be that Fifth Young Master Ji was also murdered by his relatives?"

Fifth Young Master pursed his thin lips tightly and did not answer.

He did so by default.The eldest prince was very strange, and thought to himself: Strange, Qi Diji's mansion is just a small mansion, and they don't have many interests to fight for, but I don't know why they can kill each other?
When he thought of this, he glanced at the fifth young master with a jade-like face under the light, and his heart skipped a beat: Could it be that some powerful person with a good reputation like Long Yang took a fancy to him, and his relatives Sell ​​him out for profit?
The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more likely it was.

Feeling the eldest prince's burning gaze, the fifth son raised his head to meet his eyes, and asked slowly, "Why does Your Highness look at Ji Wu like this?"

The eldest prince was taken aback, and quickly chuckled.While smiling, he took a sip of the wine in a disguised way, and did not reply until he swallowed the sip: "No one! The last two times I said something disrespectful to the fifth young master, now I feel uneasy and want to apologize to the young master !"

The fifth son was startled by the king's apology, he thought to himself: that time Sun Le said that the prince gave me three virgins to show his favor.Now that he is a prince, he can apologize to me in person, it seems that what Sun Le said is true.It seems that Mu Gong's talent may not be better than Sun Le's!
Thinking of this, the fifth son hurriedly crossed his hands and replied, "Your Highness has praised you. In the past, Ji Wu also had some inappropriate things. Fortunately, His Highness didn't care too much about it."

The eldest prince couldn't help laughing when he got this answer.

Amidst the loud laughter, he stretched out his hand and patted the fifth son's shoulder hard, and said calmly: "Ji Wu is as beautiful as jade, but it is her husband's heart! What happened before is indeed my prince's fault. By the way, Ji Wu, I heard that my eighteenth sister treats you quite differently?"

When the eldest prince said this, he looked at the fifth young master with a smile.

When the fifth son heard that he mentioned the Eighteenth Princess, he was stunned. At the same time, he also noticed that Zhao Wang, who was sitting in front of him, leaned back intentionally or unintentionally, obviously wanting to listen to his answer.And a few of the people sitting next to the eldest prince also turned their heads to look here.

Sure enough, when the fifth son was secretly on guard, the eldest prince said with a smile: "My younger sister is the most beloved princess of my father, but she is a famous beauty in Zhao country. How about it, is the fifth son Ji interested? Don’t want me to tell your father and king on your behalf?”

What he said was just casual, but then he said: "Sister Shiba is my father's most beloved princess, and marrying her will bring a lot of benefits. The fifth son of Ji will be able to sit on a beautiful woman by then. , but also get the full support of our country Zhao. The fifth son is so talented and handsome, I am afraid he has provoked many boring people, right?"

When the eldest prince said the last sentence, the fifth son's impatient expression disappeared a lot, his lips were tightly pursed, his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was contemplative.

The eldest prince continued with a smile: "Once the fifth son becomes my brother-in-law, I am afraid that there will not be a powerful person in the world who has the guts to risk offending me, Da Zhao, and provoke you, the fifth son. Hehe, the fifth son thinks Or not?"
