Zhuge Liang understood what he meant.
What Wei Yang needed was definitely not a strong country.
But it is not a weak country that has no hope at first glance.
What he needs is a country that shows signs of vitality.
Once the Qin State survives the Jin-Chu alliance, no enemy will stop its rise.
This is exactly what Wei Yang valued.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "If you are really interested in going to Qin, you can take some time to go and take a look."
Wei Yang asked, "I heard that your emperor created a system called the imperial examination system?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "That's right. The imperial examination system doesn't consider family background or background, but only looks at real talent and knowledge."
Wei Yang bowed and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely go. Your Excellency is tired from the journey, so please go to the inn to rest first. We can discuss this in detail another day. What do you think?"
Zhuge Liang responded with a gesture of congratulation, "That's exactly what I want."
There were many scholars and literati who were curious about the Qin State. Before knowing what talents the other party had, he would not recruit Wei Yang on behalf of the Qin State.
Although the Qin State today does not lack political talents, it still lacks talents like Wei Yang who specialize in the study of Legalism.
If we were to find someone in the Qin State who was suitable to work with Wei Yang, that person would definitely be Xun Yu.
The two can find a lot of common ground in politics.
Zhuge Liang had just arrived in Qi State and needed to slowly understand everything.
After he returned to the post station, he sent someone to deliver the visiting card to the residence of the Minister of Rites.
If you want to meet the emperor of Qi, you need to go through some procedures.
On the Jin side.
Sima Yi tossed and turned, and took many detours to prevent the news from leaking out.
Finally arrived in Jingzhao Prefecture.
The largest family in Jin State, the Wu family, was entrenched here.
Although the Wu family members were in the imperial court, they did not hold any substantial official positions.
However, it is one of the few royal families with different surnames in Jin State.
Their fiefdom was in the Jingzhao Prefecture area.
With a total of 300,000 troops, it can be said to be a dominant force.
Even the current head of the Wu family, King Wu Hua, bluntly said that their Wu family only listens to orders and not announcements.
It can be said to be extremely prominent.
To be honest, when a family becomes so powerful, if they don't want to take that step forward, then the only fate that awaits this family is genocide.
Therefore, the Wu family needed an opportunity, an opportunity to cause chaos in the State of Jin.
In fact, everyone in Jin State knew that the Wu family had already harbored rebellious intentions.
But what can they do?
Once the imperial court chooses to wipe out the Wu family, the aristocratic families in the country will definitely unite with the Wu family out of the mentality of "lips and teeth are cold".
What's more, with the Wu family's influence, it is enough to raise an army of 500,000 in a short period of time.
By then, the imperial court would have to mobilize at least 800,000 troops to defeat the Wu family.
Once things have developed to this point, the day when war breaks out in the territory of Jin will not be far away.
Therefore, the threat posed by the Wu family to the Jin royal family is not small at all.
Sima Yi went to great lengths to meet the head of the Wu family, who was known as the king by his surname.
Wu Hua was nearly sixty years old and had lived for most of his life, so he naturally knew Sima Yi's origins.
At first, he chose to hide.
However, Sima Yi did not give him this opportunity at all. Whenever he had time, he would wait in front of Prince Wu's mansion.
This is the dumbest way, but also the most effective way.
He has plenty of time and can slowly spend time with King Wu of Jin.
Moreover, his behavior was very risky, as it was intended to make people outside realize that something was wrong.
After all, what does it mean for a few strangers to linger in front of Prince Wu's mansion every now and then?
The imperial court will definitely send people to monitor every move of Prince Wu's Palace.
Unless the people in Prince Wu's Palace have really reached the point of being unscrupulous, they will definitely meet with Sima Yi before the court becomes suspicious.
Although it would be a bit risky, the latter believed that this was the fastest way to meet King Wu.
Sure enough, late one night, Sima Yi received a message asking him to disguise himself as a servant in the palace and go to meet King Wu.
In an extraordinary period, Sima Yi thought it was nothing. After all, he was a ruthless man who even wore women's clothes.
After some twists and turns, he finally got to see Wu Hua as he wished.
He immediately bowed and said, "External minister Sima Yi greets the old prince."
Hearing this, King Wu, who had a long goatee, frowned slightly and said, "Are all of you Qin people as shameless as you?"
Sima Yi laughed heartily and said, "As long as I can see you, old prince, I think it's all right to use some tricks."
Wu Hua snorted coldly, "Some time ago, your Qin State's envoy seemed to be called Guo Kai... Yes, that's him.
This person actually dared to come to my palace with such fanfare and send a visiting card. Now it seems that you Qin people are not only shameless, but also brainless."
Well...that's something Guo Kai can do.
In fact, Guo Kai also knew the seriousness of the matter, but he felt that instead of contacting King Wu secretly, it would be better to send a visiting card openly.
In this way, some of the ideas of the Jin court could be dispelled.
After all, he is now aware of his situation. Every word and action is under close scrutiny, and it is impossible for him to stand in the dark like Sima Yi.
"Old Prince, you can't say that. In order to demonstrate the sincerity of our Qin State, one must be open and the other hidden. In this way, you, Old Prince, will be safe, and we can rest assured."
Sima Yi said slowly.
Wu Hua sneered, "Your Qin State is about to be destroyed, yet you still have the leisure to come to me?"
Sima Yi pretended to be stunned and said, "Destroy the country? Why do you say that, old prince?"
Wu Hua said bluntly: "The allied forces of Jin and Chu are still gathered outside the border of your Qin State."
Hearing this, Sima Yi laughed and said, "Yes, they have been camping on the border of our Qin State for a year, but they have never been able to break through a single city or pass of our Great Qin State.
Old Prince, isn't this enough to explain something? And soon, Old Prince will know the news that Qi has sent troops to attack Chu."
At this point, Wu Hua couldn't help but become serious and asked hurriedly, "Is Qi willing to send troops?"
Sima Yi nodded and said, "Qi will not allow Chu to destroy our Great Qin."
Wu Hua's expression returned to normal, and he said, "You also said that Qi wants to target Chu. What does this have to do with Jin?"
Sima Yi made a startling statement: "If the Chu army is defeated, our Great Qin can seize the opportunity to march north, and then the Jin state will be in chaos.
Once it reaches that point, how will the old prince cope with it? Have you ever thought about it?"
Wu Hua was stunned.
Sima Yi continued, "Old Prince, the Qin State is willing to help you and the great families who are on the same boat with you."
Wu Hua frowned deeply and said in a harsh voice, "Just based on this sentence, I can kill you right here!"
Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "If I die, the old prince will be in danger."
