Ji Wuchen replied," I heard that there are two things in the country of Zhao that are the best in the world. One is the wine of the country of Zhao, and the other is the dancers of the country of Zhao. However, if there were dancers dancing while tasting the wine, it would be a great blessing in the world. Since it was a great blessing in the world, why not go to Zhao? Moreover, when I came to Zhao, I happened to encounter the snow scene that was rarely seen in a hundred years. The wine, beauty, and beauty were all caused by elegance. Wouldn't it be great?”
King Zhuang Xiang nodded." Fine wine, beautiful women, and beautiful scenery are indeed great blessings in the world. However, these are a little too much for a young man to miss.”
" Playing with toys doesn't necessarily make one lose one's will. Only indulgence can make one lose one's will. The heavens have mercy on us and sent these beautiful things to the human world. There must be someone who can appreciate and taste them. As long as there's a limit to the advance and retreat, it's not impossible to have both fish and bear's paw. Otherwise, if one only knows the sufferings of the human world and doesn't know the beauty of the human world, wouldn't one's life be extremely boring?”
King Zhuang Xiang of Qin shook his head." You're talking nonsense. How can you have both the fish and the bear's paw in this world?”
"Your Majesty, don't mind your own opinion.”
"I only heard Zheng 'er say that you are talented. Now that I heard you talk about it, I don't want you to go astray, so I reminded you. Alright, let's not talk about this today.”
"This subject has no requests!"
King Zhuang Xiang of Qin was stunned and found it unbelievable." You don't want to be an official?”
"This subject is naturally free and easy, free and unrestrained, and there are many honest words between my words. I'm afraid that I'm not suitable to be an official.”
King Zhuangxiang of Qin recalled what Ji Wuchen had said just now. It was indeed so, so he asked again,""You don't want gold, silver, jewelry, fine wine, and beautiful women?”
"I want to, but I can't get these things just because I'm rewarded. The wine and beauty in my heart have to be determined by my heart. The same goes for gold, silver, and jewelry."
King Zhuang Xiang of Qin was stunned for a moment before he laughed." I didn't expect you to be such a sincere person. I really admire you for having such thoughts at such a young age. However, you have done a great job for my wife and children, so I have to reward you. Just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't disagree."”
Ji Wuchen pondered for a moment and said,""If Your Majesty must reward me, then why don't you reward me with a mansion?”
"Alright, let me think about it. Lord Wu 'an's manor is still in good condition and has never been occupied. Although it's not in line with etiquette, after Lord Wu' an died, no one wanted it. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"As for the position of teacher, I, Ting Zheng 'er, highly praise you and let you continue to be his teacher. However, I have to remind you that he is the young master of the State of Qin and may also be the future heir of the State of Qin. He cannot teach you those crooked theories that you can get both fish and bear's paw.”
" Yes." Ji Wuchen agreed indifferently. Then, he thanked him and left with Wang Jian and Chang Yong.
……………………
"Sir, since the king has promised, why don't you want to be an official? You have to know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
Upon returning to the residence, Wang Jian asked impatiently.
" It's too early to get involved in politics," Ji Wuchen replied with a smile." We still need to wait."”
"Wait? Waiting for the next opportunity to make a contribution? Who knew how long he would have to wait?”
"So be it. I have no intention of being an official now.”
"Aiya, you're talking nonsense again. If you're not an official, why are you wasting your time and effort to be a teacher to Young Master? If you're not an official, why are you so angry that you've slaughtered thousands of Zhao troops? Don't tell me you're noble and have no desires!!”
Ji Wuchen laughed." Why are you angrier than me? I'm not an official, but you're so angry. I don't know if you really don't understand or if you're just pretending.”
"What do you mean?" Wang Jian was stunned and asked.”
"Didn't you hear what His Majesty meant when he asked you why you went to Handan of the State of Zhao since you are a citizen of the State of Qin? He is suspecting that I am up to no good and that I am deliberately getting close to Ying Zheng.”
"Is that what you mean? Why don't I think so? I feel that the King trusts you quite a lot.”
Ji Wuchen shook his head." If he trusted me, he wouldn't have asked such a question. Once he did, it would show the suspicion in his heart. I don't want to be a subject in front of such a king.”
"But he still calls you Zheng gongzi's teacher, so what?”
"That's because he didn't think of a better countermeasure. It's just a stopgap measure.”
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
Ji Wuchen smiled." Even if Your Majesty doesn't suspect me, I wouldn't have entered the court as an official at this time. I still have many things to do. It's inevitable that my hands and feet are tied and inconvenient to enter the court as an official.”
"Is there anything I can help you with?”
"Yes. The first thing is to help me find a person called Zhao Gao. He is a eunuch. You are the doctor and in charge of the palace guards.”
"Alright, I'll do it when I enter the palace tomorrow.”
"Also, that manor of Marquis Wu 'an, Baiqi. Send someone to clean it up. Remember to check every well to prevent anything from being dirty. Get the carpenter to add some furniture. I'll move in in a few days.”
"This is easy to handle. I'll get someone to do it immediately.”
"Oh right, I still have some clothes in the small courtyard I used to live in. Send someone to get them back.”
"Yes!"
"That's all for now. I'll tell you if I think of anything next time.”
Thank you for being so handsome and even giving me a vote!!!
