Studying in a romantic place like Purple Orchid Pavilion could indeed sharpen one's mental state.
Gao Jing had a feeling that even if a man and a woman were to do things in front of him, as long as Gao Jing was willing, he would still be able to settle down!
As for her body…she was still young, so it was hard to say.
Yan Lingji disappeared every few days, and now she had completely disappeared.
Through the window of the Purple Orchid Pavilion, Gao Jing looked at the horizon that was illuminated by the flames. He suddenly realized that Tian Ze had been released.
Now, Han Fei spent all his time in the Purple Orchid Pavilion and had never carried out his duties as a magistrate, but Tian Ze was still released.
It was obvious that Baiyi did not release them because of Han Fei, but because of his own little plan.
After being locked up for more than ten years, he had probably exhausted all sorts of methods, but he still could not get his hands on Tian Ze's secret. In that case, letting him out to stir up trouble and then fishing in troubled waters was inevitable!
……
"King Han wants to see me?"
Gao Jing was a little puzzled.”
Han Fei smiled and said, Little Uncle-Master, you don't know your reputation, do you?”
Gao Jing was silent. He was focused on his studies and had never paid attention to it.
Zhang Liang said respectfully," Mister Gao Jing's name has long spread throughout the seven countries. Especially with the spread of the jade salt that is a specialty of the Chu Country, everything you did in the Chu Country has also been praised by the people of the world!”
" So," Han Fei said," Zifang and I are here to invite you under the orders of my father and Minister Zhang.”
Gao Jing thought about it and knew that it was not good to refuse. He said,"Alright then, when?"
"See you tomorrow."
"So formal?" Gao Jing was speechless.
However, on second thought, only a court meeting could show the importance of a country's monarch to talents.
Moreover, Gao Jing had the identity of the scholarly faction's Youngest Uncle.
The Prime Minister of Korea was a disciple of Confucianism, and the influence of Confucianism in Korea was evident.
Gao Jing nodded." Alright, I'll pack up then. I'll go with you tomorrow."”
Violet Maiden smiled and brought Nongyu in. Nongyu was holding a set of clothes in her hands.
" The clothes you're wearing don't fit you well," Violet Maiden said with a smile." Zi Lanxuan has prepared new clothes for you."”
Gao Jing stretched out his arm in puzzlement. Is there?"
The wide sleeves were draped over his wrist…This was not fitting!
Violet Maiden came up and helped Gao Jing undress. Nongyu unfolded the clothes and helped Gao Jing put them on.
A fragrance assaulted him.
"If I can marry Miss Zi Nu and Miss Nongyu, what else can I ask for in my life?" Gao Jing said in intoxication.”
"You're not big, but your heart is not small!" Violet Maiden glared at him, her eyes filled with charm.
Nongyu also pursed her lips and smiled, treating it as a joke.
Gao Jing sighed helplessly. He was small and did not have the right to speak in this regard.
……
The next morning, Gao Jing rode Han Fei's carriage to the Han King Palace.
Gao Jing did not feel nervous when he met the King of Han. On the contrary, he was very relaxed.
This era was still very friendly to scholars, especially those with talent.
When they arrived at the Han King's Palace, Han Fei took Gao Jing to the gate of the palace and went in to inform him.
After that, it was "Please enter the hall."
Gao Jing walked in with steady steps and a straight back.
The so-called Imperial Court of this era was far inferior to the Imperial Palace of the future. Even King Han was only a bench, slightly taller than the others.
The ministers were divided into civil officials and generals, standing on the left and right sides. The leaders of the two sides were General Ji Wuye and the Prime Minister of Korea, Zhang Kaidi.
Everyone's eyes were on Gao Jing, observing this young man who was famous everywhere.
When Gao Jing walked from the door to the front of the hall, his footsteps were neither slow nor hurried. His expression was as calm as ever, and his eyes were bright and clear. Everyone had the first impression of him being extraordinary!
"Gao Jing of the scholarly faction greets King Han and everyone else!”
Gao Jing's etiquette made it impossible for anyone to jump out of trouble.
On the throne, Han Wangan stroked his beard. His fat body made his breathing heavy, as if he was tired from moving. He said warmly,"Although Mister is young, I have long heard of Mister's great name and have always wanted to seek your guidance. I hope Mister will not be stingy with your guidance!”
So direct?
"What does the King of Han have to ask?" Gao Jing asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.”
"Mister, do you have a way to strengthen the country?" asked Han Wangan.”
Gao Jing could tell that he was looking down on him because he was young. He wanted to see if he was really worthy of the name.
Gao Jing wasn't angry and said with assurance,""Confucianism teaches that 'the middle runs through the one'.
Although the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had different models for the so-called strong country, the principle was the same. It was to unite the comprehensive national strength of a country into one!
If the country was in chaos and opposed each other, even if the country was as vast as Chu, what could it do now?
The King of Han asked Jing Chu about the way to strengthen the country. Jing Chu came to Korea and did not know much about Korea, so he first had to ask the King of Han about information about Korea.”
Han Wangan finally sat up straight and said seriously,"Sir, feel free to ask."
Gao Jing looked at the King of Han and asked,"May I ask, King of Han, how many people are there in Korea?"”
The King of Han was stunned for a moment and looked at Prime Minister Zhang Rangdi.
"About 700,000 to 800,000," said Zhang Rang.”
So little?
Gao Jing was surprised, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued to ask,""How many slaves? How many commoners? How much land can be cultivated? How much is the yield per mu? How much did merchants profit? How much is the tax?"
The series of questions was something that even the Prime Minister could not answer.
Han Wangan's expression was a little ugly.
"Everyone talks about a strong country," Gao Jing said."But if you don't know how strong a country is, how can it be strong?" The king doesn't even understand his own country. What's the use of talking about the way to strengthen the country?”
Han Wangan was instantly ashamed.
