Looking at his beloved daughter who had just been released, Tian Ji was immediately furious. He pointed at her face, which was still covered in dust, and shouted, "Do you know where that is?"

"It's the Jixia Academy! It's the holy place of our Great Qi! It's also the holy place in the eyes of scholars all over the world!"

"How dare you hold a sharp weapon in that place! And hold hostage the scholars participating in the 'Contest of Debates'!"

"If this gets out, how can we, the Great Qi, face the scholars of the world? How can I, Tian Ji, face the scholars of the world?"

"You really pissed me off!"

"..."

Faced with his father's barrage of criticism, Tian Xi remained silent with a cold expression.

After a long pause, he suddenly asked, "Father, what is the king's decision regarding Wei Yang, the Legalist who shone so brilliantly at the 'Controversy Conference'?"

"Why do you ask?"

Tian Ji waved his hands in annoyance and said, "We are discussing your previous mistakes now, don't change the subject!"

"Father!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xi took a step forward and said solemnly, "This matter is extremely important to our Great Qi. Please give me your instructions, father!"

"this......"

Looking at his daughter's determined and serious expression, Tian Xi pursed his lips in confusion before choosing to speak frankly: "The king said that this Wei Yang can be used, but not now."

"Let's wait for a while and see."

"..."

Hearing this, the expression on Tian Xi's face suddenly became extremely wonderful.

After a long while, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "As expected, that person was right..."

"What did you say?"

Tian Ji was a little curious when he heard this and asked, "What are you talking about, you silly girl?"

"Father!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Xi took a deep breath, walked a few steps closer to Tian Ji, and repeated the previous conversation with Chen Hui in a very low voice.

Upon hearing that someone could actually guess the King of Qi's thoughts in advance, Tian Ji was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, after forcing himself to calm down.

Tian Ji grabbed Tian Xi's arm tightly and said in a deep voice, "Silly girl, did that scholar named Xia Dongqing really say he knew who the great talent Qi needed right now?"

"That's right!"

Tian Xi nodded seriously, then gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I want him to tell me the true identity of that person, and I also said that I will reward him handsomely after the task is completed."

"But that guy refused to speak, and I was desperate at the time, so I couldn't help but want to use force to force him to submit."

"Who knew that guy could be so cunning and falsely accuse me of being a spy for another country? I almost lost my life."

When Tian Xi thought of Chen Hui's hateful grin in front of him, he couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, and even his joints were crackling.

"Father! I recognize that guy's face!"

"Otherwise, I'll draw his appearance right away and search the whole city according to the drawing."

"I just don't believe that he could escape from Linzi City alone with a little girl disguised as a man!"

""

"No rush, no rush."

"Let me think about it. Let me think about it carefully."

Seeing Tian Ji pacing back and forth in the hall after hearing this, his face was full of a look of deep thought.

Tian Xi couldn't help but urge with a frown on his face: "Father! Make a decision quickly!"

"If we were just a step later! If that guy had escaped Linzi! We would have completely missed out on meeting that extraordinary talent!"

"..."

Hearing this, Tian Ji suddenly stopped in his tracks and said in a deep and decisive voice, "Hurry up! You and your father will go to the palace to see the king immediately!"

"What!? Going to the palace again!?"

Tian Xi stamped his feet anxiously upon hearing this and said, "Father, it's too late!"

"Hurry up! That Xia Dongqing is about to escape!"

"You, you're good at everything, but you're impatient and not calm enough."

Tian Ji shook his head, feeling somewhat disappointed. "That scholar named Xia Dongqing didn't even want to participate in the debate, so why would he bother to tell you so much?"

"Could it be that he has nothing to do?"

"Father means..."

Tian Xi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked thoughtfully: "This 'Xia Dongqing', does he have anything to ask of us?"

"It's not that they need us, but they need Qi!"

Tian Ji shook his head and said, "This man has disdained the generous reward you offered him, and is unwilling to make a name for himself before the world's scholars."

"This is enough to show that this person has great ambitions. Apart from the King of Qi, no one else can satisfy him."

Tian Ji sighed deeply and said, "Silly girl, that man told you so much on purpose because he wanted to use that great talent as bait and have the king meet him in person."

"If I don't tell the king about this news right away, it will ruin the affairs of the Great Qi."

"do you understand?"

Having said this, he ignored the look of sudden enlightenment on Tian Xi's face.

Tian Ji immediately shouted to the outside of the hall: "Prepare the carriage! I want to go to the palace immediately!"

. .

. .

. .

It can only be said that King Wei of Qi is worthy of being one of the wise and heroic rulers in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Not long after General Tian Ji brought his daughter Tian Xi into the palace, several brave cavalrymen rushed out of the palace gate with a luxuriously decorated carriage and galloped towards the location of "Qi City".

After a moment, it didn't take long.

Several palace attendants found Chen Hui and Xiaoyu strolling around and shopping in the "Qi City".

"I, General Bei Chong, follow the king's order to invite Mr. Xia Dongqing into the palace for a conversation!"

Looking at the several attendants who were respectfully standing before him, Chen Hui, who had expected this, smiled with great satisfaction and said, "Okay, thank you, General."

As he spoke, Chen Hui dropped the goods he had just picked up and clapped his hands, saying, "General, there is a wooden box stored in the inn where I live. I need to take it with me to meet the King of Qi."

"Please send someone to get it."

"Don't worry, sir, I will take care of it."

Having said this, he bowed deeply.

The attendant, named Bi Chong, pointed to the grand carriage that was following and said, "Sir, please get in the carriage and follow us to the palace to meet the king."

"Ok."

Hearing this, Chen Hui nodded with a smile.

Then he pulled Xiaoyu onto the carriage, and under the protection of a group of attendants, he slowly drove towards the royal palace of Qi.

. . . . . .

Please give me flowers! Please recommend me! Please give me a reward! Please give me a monthly ticket!!!! ...

Chapter 196: Four Questions to King Wei of Qi in the Imperial Court (Please Customize)

A moment later, the carriage that Chen Hui was riding in, escorted by a group of red-clothed attendants, quickly entered the royal palace of Qi.

To be fair, since I have been to ancient times before, I have become the supreme ruler of the world more than once.

Therefore, in Chen Hui's impression, it is definitely not an easy thing to meet the supreme ruler of this country.

At the very least, you'll have to go through several body searches to make sure you're not carrying any weapons or anything like that.

After all, assassins in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were still very rampant.

However, what Chen Hui never expected was.

When the carriage they were riding in finally stopped, what they saw was actually the main hall of the Qi royal palace.

Not only that, King Wei of Qi, whom he had just met at the "Controversy Conference", was now standing on the steps in front of the hall, personally coming out to greet an unknown commoner like Chen Hui.

The king descended his steps to personally welcome the common people.

This kind of treatment, to be honest.

The moment he saw the figure of King Wei of Qi, Chen Hui finally understood it to the core.

Why do later generations always say that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are the orthodox source of Chinese civilization?

He is truly a wise and capable ruler of this era, and his attitude towards talents is so damn considerate.

There will be no show of force, and certainly no mysterious tactics.

Compared with the arrogance and tyranny of later generations who were high and mighty, treated officials like slaves, and regarded the world as private property.

The wise and capable rulers of this era can truly be called beloved relatives, friends, and brothers.

To be fair, even if Chen Hui had ascended the throne more than once, even if he knew that King Wei of Qi was doing this to win people's hearts.

But I have to admit that Chen Hui, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, was really a little moved.

To be honest, if Chen Hui was not from the future, if he did not have as much experience as in the past.

Given King Wei of Qi's noble character of respecting the wise and humble himself, he might really surrender without saying a word.

Really, where can I find a leader who gives so much face to his subordinates?

Not to mention the ancient times when kings were granted by God and the hierarchy was strict.

Even in modern times where everyone is equal and the world is free and open, it is self-evident what the officials and capitalists really look like.

Thinking of this, he took a long, deep breath.

Chen Hui then led Xiaoyu up the jade steps step by step, and stopped about ten steps away from King Wei of Qi. He bowed very seriously and said, "I am Xia Dongqing, a humble servant, honored to meet the King of Qi."

"Ha ha ha ha."

After hearing this, he smiled heartily.

King Wei of Qi, dressed in royal robes and looking very heroic, stepped forward, took Chen Hui's arm and said, "Mr. Xia, you have come all the way to Qi State and have worked hard on your journey."

"Come, come, come, quickly follow me into the palace and let me welcome you, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Chen Hui could come to his senses, King Wei of Qi had already supported his arm and walked into the hall, looking like an old friend who had known each other for many years.

[Hey, hey, hey, aren't you worried at all that I'm a killer intending to assassinate you?]

[This damn charisma, can only be described as worthy of the King Wei of Qi who founded the hegemony of Qi? ]

[I’m convinced! I’m completely convinced!]

Next, after following King Wei of Qi into the hall with a lot of thoughts in his mind, Chen Hui immediately saw that there were several people standing there.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Xia, let me introduce you."

As he spoke, King Wei of Qi pointed to a middle-aged man who was eight feet tall and had a very handsome appearance. He said, "This is the Prime Minister of our Great Qi—Zou Ji."

"I've met Mr. Xia."

"I don't deserve it. I'm honored to meet you, Prime Minister Zuo."

Next, after exchanging greetings with the famous Prime Minister of Qi.

King Wei of Qi pointed to another burly man with a rough face who looked like a martial arts champion and laughed, saying, "As for this man, he is the great general of our great Qi—Tian Ji."

"There seems to have been a misunderstanding between Mr. Xia and General Tian's beloved daughter."

"Don't worry about these little things."
