The Number One Catcher In The Capital, You Call This A Dog Leg?

During the banquet, King Xian picked up a piece of beef, looked at Xu Qing and asked suddenly: "I heard that you are the number one talented person in Yongzhou City, and you are knowledgeable and knowledgeable."

Xu Qing quickly stood up with cupped hands and said: "Your Highness's praise, the rumors outside are not true."

To say that Xu Qing can have the current reputation, the Xianwang Palace has to take full responsibility.

If it wasn't for Xiao Ruxue's bad idea of ​​making faces if he couldn't write poems when he had nothing to do, would he be a copywriter?

Thinking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ruxue who was at the side, as if feeling Xu Qing's gaze, Xiao Ruxue stuck out her tongue towards Xu Qing.

The Xian Wang waved his hand and said: "This king said earlier, this time is a family banquet, it is just a father thanking you for curing the illness of this king's daughter, there is no need to be polite."

When Xu Qing sat down, the virtuous king suddenly said: "Daddy's "Tao Te Ching" says: Governing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy. What do you think of this statement?"

What does Xu Qing think? Xu Qing saw what serious illness the prince had specified.

Have you ever seen such a topic discussed at a family dinner?

Just now Xu Qing felt that Xiao Ruxue was making a fuss, but when the Xian Wang asked, Xu Qing felt that it would be better for Xiao Ruxue to continue talking.

At least what the little Princess Tsundere said is close to the people!

But since the virtuous king asked this question, Xu Qing also had to answer. If he didn't answer, there was a chance that his life would reopen in this place.

Xu Qing had no choice but to put down the bowls and chopsticks and said: "Returning to the lord, I think that if you want to understand the true meaning of this sentence, you must know what Xiao Xian refers to in daddy's era. Xiao Xian is a small fish. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish." , do not disturb cooking small delicacies, do not bother governing a big country, "

The virtuous king nodded in satisfaction, it was just that the virtuous king casually tested Xu Qing, to test his talent and learning.

Looking at it now, this person is indeed very knowledgeable.

Then the virtuous king said again: "Daddy founded the Taoist theory, and has always advocated the rule of inaction. Nowadays, most courtiers also advocate the rule of inaction. What do you think?"

For a moment, Xu Qing seemed to be back in the political class again, did he ask people to have a good meal? !

But discussing political affairs at will is a serious crime, Xu Qing hastily said: "I dare not discuss government affairs indiscriminately."

The virtuous king said: "I, Da Chu, don't convict with words, just say it."

Xu Qing couldn't hide from the left and right, so he could only open his mouth and said: "Returning to my lord, I don't think there is anything wrong with the opinions of the adults above the court."

King Xian glanced at Xu Qing and said, "So you agree?"

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I agree, but I won't always agree."

King Xian showed interest in Xu Qing's answer, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Qing said: "My lord, the present is a peaceful and prosperous age. Governance by doing nothing can just wait for work to accumulate national strength, but now that the Central Plains is divided into three parts, the prosperity of the world is not stable. If the other two countries try to invade the border, how can we do nothing?" ?At that time, I, Da Chu, must send troops to fight against the invaders.

When it comes to war, the rule by doing nothing is no longer in line with the needs of the country.

I believe that national policy should be adjusted according to national conditions, rather than stick to the rules. "

The admiration in King Xian's eyes was even greater: "Hahaha, well said, you deserve to be the number one talent in Yongzhou City, but you have a long-term vision."

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got over it.

As the saying goes, talking about people when you see people, talking nonsense when you see ghosts, what the virtuous king likes most is fighting on the battlefield, Xu Qing cited the example of war.

Judging from the results, Xu Qing made the right bet.

As soon as Xu Qing mentioned war, an uncontrollable longing appeared in King Xian's eyes.

The world must be united for a long time, and the unification of the Central Plains is the common ideal of Chu, Zhao, and Zhou. The virtuous king naturally also has this ideal.

Of course, this common ideal cannot be realized together, and the unification of the Central Plains means the demise of two countries.

The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue and Xiao Ye and said, "You should learn more from Xu Qing in the future."

Then he looked at Xiao Ye and said, "This king is talking about you, who has nothing to do all day long. Last time, he dared to ask Xu Qing to write poems for you. Next time, let's see how I deal with you!"

A family banquet ended with Xiao Ye being scolded.

Xu Qing basically didn't eat anything, and was doing quizzes with the Xian King throughout the whole process.

After the dinner, King Xian beckoned and a servant came over with a tray.

King Xian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Before this king promised to double reward you with silver, there are two hundred taels of silver in it, which you deserve."

Generally, the ancients were very humble. Even if someone gave you something, you still have to shirk it symbolically.

This is true for ordinary people, and it is even more so for princes.

Xu Qing looked at the virtuous king and said: "Healing the princess is what I should do, and it must not be done."

The Xian King thought for a while and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, most learned and talented people like you don't stink of copper, so rewarding you with silver is indeed a bit insulting."

Xu Qing's heart twitched suddenly, why didn't the prince play his cards according to the routine? !

Who said that learned and talented people don't love money?

How could you insult someone?

If this is considered an insult, Xu Qing wants to say: Come on! Please insult me ​​hard!

Seeing that the virtuous king was about to change his words, Xu Qing hurriedly remedied: "My lord speaks well, I don't dare to embarrass my lord."

King Xian shook his head and said, "You and Xue'er have a kindness, for the sake of this king's daughter, it's nothing to take back a word you said."

Xiao Ruxue at the side shook King Xian's arm, and said coquettishly, "Father, Xu Qing cured my daughter's illness. Isn't the consultation fee worth two hundred taels of silver?"

The Xian King looked at Xiao Ruxue and then at Xu Qing, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's really insulting to say that it's a reward, Xu Qing, these two hundred taels of silver are for you to cure my precious daughter." You can collect the consultation fee."

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, my lord!"

The virtuous king said: "Xue'er, Xu Qing has cured your illness, so you can send Xu Qing away."

Xiao Ruxue said happily from the side: "Good father!"

Seeing the disappearing figures of Xiao Ruxue and Xu Qing, King Xian couldn't help but smile. His daughter has grown up and has her own thoughts.

At this moment, Concubine Xian came over and said softly, "What does your lord think about this Xu Qing?"

The Xian Wang smiled and said: "This son is knowledgeable and talented. If he is cultivated a little bit, he may become a pillar of the country. Xue'er and Ye'er have made a good friend."

An alley outside the gate of the palace

Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing with her waist crossed and said arrogantly: "If it weren't for me, you would have almost lost these two hundred taels of silver! Am I smart?!"

Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue's appearance and praised: "The princess is really smart!"

With Xu Qing's affirmation, Xiao Ruxue looked even more proud. From the very beginning, she had never defeated Xu Qing. This time she successfully moved back to Yicheng!
