When Ji Qingchen and Gu Qi met for the first time, they asked each other for such a complex and thorny question, which really seemed very abrupt, giving people a feeling of being a little frivolous and not calm in the face of things. So as soon as his question was spoken, Ye Qingchen on the side frowned slightly, feeling that his nephew was still a little anxious, although Gu Qi was very talented, how could he ask such a targeted question in this situation at this time?

However, Gu Qi smiled slightly after hearing Ji Qingchen's sharp question, and seemed to be very satisfied with Ji Qingchen's straightforwardness, he was silent for a moment, and after a little thought, he replied, "The question Your Highness wants to ask is probably not only how to face the complicated crisis in front of you after returning to King's Landing City, right?" ”

"What does Mr. Gu think? Now that you know Qingchen's thoughts, why not plan a path for Qingchen? Ji Qingchen had already talked about Gu Qihui saying this, so he asked with a smile.

Gu Qi laughed loudly, his laughter was full of bitterness, full of irony of the world, and seemed to be a little joyful. After a long time, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Ji Qingchen, "Gu Qi has been down for ten years, I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness in Ningzhou City, His Royal Highness does not abandon Gu Qi's arrogance, treats him with the courtesy of a countryman, and does not deceive Gu Qi's treacherous cunning, treats him with sincerity, and sees each other honestly when we first meet, and expresses my heart, Gu Qi is grateful." Although Gu Qi is shallow, he still has a bit of foolishness in his heart, if His Highness is willing, Gu Qi is willing to plan for His Highness. ”

Seeing Gu Qi's demeanor and hearing Gu Qi's generous words, Ji Qingchen understood Gu Qi's meaning no matter how stupid he was, he immediately got up and helped Gu Qi up, and said in a sincere tone, "Mr. Gu, please rest assured, in the future, Qingchen will treat Mr. Gu with a teacher's courtesy, and as long as Qingchen lives for one day in this life, he will never lose Mr." ”

"Your Highness—" Gu Qi's tone was already choked, he was moved by Ji Qingchen's words, but he still held back, and thought about Ji Qingchen again and bowed slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Although he didn't say much, just this bow, just this sentence "Thank you, Your Highness" was enough.

Because he is Gu Qi, he is Gu Kaizhi, and he is the southern madness of Dayan. The person who can make him really want to thank is naturally the person who is worthy of his life.

Ji Qingchen forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, he really didn't expect that he would be able to subdue a madman like Gu Qi so easily. Similarly, Gu Qi was also glad that he was able to meet a master like Ji Qingchen. So the two looked at each other again, glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

Only Ye Qingchen sat all the time and did not speak.

"Your Highness has returned to King's Landing this time, and if you want to compete for the position of prince with several princes who have been operating in King's Landing for several years, I am afraid that it will be an egg to hit a stone. Therefore, His Royal Highness must remember these ten words: seeking a national road is based on meritorious deeds. Gu Qi returned to normal with a smile, and calmly admonished Ji Qingchen.

"Seeking a national-owned road is based on meritorious deeds." Ye Qingchen thought carefully about Gu Qi's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Although he didn't like Gu Qi, especially when Gu Qi said that he wanted to follow Ji Qingchen just now, he was even more dissatisfied with Gu Qi, but for what Gu Qi just said, he still had to admit that Gu Qi did point out the key to the problem.

"Seeking a national-owned road is based on meritorious deeds." Ji Qingchen muttered to himself, for a long time, he also seemed to understand the meaning of this sentence, and said to Gu Qi, "Please also ask Mr. Gu to disassemble it in detail." ”

"Seeking a national avenue is based on meritorious deeds, and as a prince and minister, you can't use your power to establish yourself. Since His Royal Highness wants to compete for the position of the prince, he must understand the road of national politics, and he can't be like ordinary officials and students, trying his best to solve political changes from the way of power and skill. This is not indispensable, but it is not the avenue. Especially when encountering such a wise lord as His Majesty today, it is still very Taoist. ”

Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, "What Mr. Gu said is very right, Qingchen was anxious just now, please continue Mr. Gu." ”

Gu Qi nodded slightly, and began to whisper, "Although there are virtuous monarchs, they don't love meritorious ministers." Though they have loving fathers, they do not love the unprofitable son. Therefore, if they are not competent for their duties and are in their positions, they are not in this position; If you are not better than the lord, you will not be the lord of this lord. A good bow is difficult to stretch, but it can be high and deep. A good horse is difficult to ride, but it can go a long way. It is difficult to order a good talent, but you can be respected. Therefore, the rivers are not evil, and the valleys are full of themselves, so they can be big. The countryman is virtuous, there is no resignation, and there is no violation of things, so he can be the instrument of the world. Heaven and earth are not clear, the water is not murmuring, the fire is not burning, and Wang De is not Yaoyao. The elders of a thousand people are as straight as an arrow, and they are as flat as a stone, and they are not enough to cover all things. Therefore, those who are narrow dries up quickly, those who flow shallow dry up quickly, and those who are sure are sterile. The power of the king, if you don't go out of the palace, you can't overthrow the country! ”

When he read the last word, he shook the tail note for a long time, and his eyes were fixed on Ji Qingchen. Ji Qingchen has studied hard for ten years, and he is also a well-read, intelligent and wise person, but he really doesn't know where the article Gu Qi read just now came from, but he just heard "The power of the king, if you don't go out of the palace, you can't overthrow the country!" When he said this, he understood the meaning of Gu Qi a little, and thought of the whole gist of the article, he didn't seem to understand it very clearly, and shook his head blankly, "I don't seem to understand, please Mr. Gu explain in detail." ”

Gu Qi nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is the first article of "Mozi", which is called "Relatives", and it is said to be the road of righteousness. Gu Qi Fangcai recited three important points: first, those who are ministers and sons should stand on their own feet with meritorious deeds, and they should not hope that Mingjun's loving father will pity themselves, and if they rely on mercy and rewards to get a high position, they will eventually gain nothing. Second, in order to attain the right path, it is necessary to find and rely on the talents of the country, although it is difficult to control, but it is the foundation of meritorious deeds. Third, it is said that everything in heaven and earth is flawed, and it is not always obvious, there are gutters in the water, smoke and miasma in the fire, and there are conspiracies in the royal road. As an important person, he can not fall into the way of small things because of all kinds of flaws, but only use power to deal with national affairs, and he can't be as straight as an arrow and as flat as a whetstone. Only by doing things in the right way can we be broad and broad, and can we achieve success. The last is a warning: But as a king, if his talents cannot be displayed in the road of governing the country outside the palace, his deeds and prestige will not cover the country, and it is empty talk to establish a country! ”

Gu Qi's words were loud and sonorous, and they hit Ji Qingchen's heart heavily word by word, making Ji Qingchen's forehead already drenched in cold sweat unconsciously.

After a long silence, Ji Qingchen, whose face was pale, sighed and bowed deeply to Gu Qi, "Mr. Gu's words, the grace of recreation, Qingchen will not forget it!" ”

"Your Highness, Gu Qi doesn't dare to be!" Gu Qi immediately held Ji Qingchen.

At this time, Ye Qingchen also woke up from Gu Qi's tirade, he got up and bowed deeply to Gu Qi, "Brother Kai, I haven't seen you for ten years, today you impress me again!" Brother Kai's words just now are enough to start a sect. Ten years ago, I was inferior to you, but I didn't expect you to be much stronger than me ten years later. Brother Kai, there are many offends in his words and deeds, please don't be surprised by Brother Kai! ”

"Brother Zhongkang-" Gu Qi was very emotional, and he held Ye Qingchen for a long time and couldn't speak.

Ye Qingchen was also very emotional, and he held Gu Qi's hand tightly. The two former friends met again, releasing their previous suspicions, speechless!
