So Chun Shenjun dedicated Li Yanyan to King Chu Kaolie, and soon after, he gave birth to a son and was established as the prince, and Li Yanyan became the queen.

Later, King Chu Kaolie was seriously ill. Zhu Ying, Chunshenjun's retainer, persuaded Chunshenjun to kill Li Yuan, but Chunshenjun refused.

As a result, as soon as King Chu Kaolie died, Li Yuan set up an ambush at the Thorny Gate of the Chu Palace, killed Lord Chunshen, ransacked all of Chunshen's family, and supported the prince to ascend the throne.

That is, the current King of Chu, and the later King You of Chu.

So far, the government of Chu State has been controlled by Li Yuan.

……

But the ones from Yan State were Prince Dan of Yan State and Ju Wu, Prince Dan's teacher.

...... 0

Prince Dan needless to say.

But this Ju Wu, known as the wise man of Yan, is one of the rare people in Yan who can clearly see the general trend of the world.

When Gao Jianli introduced Fan Yuqi, who had defected from Qin Dynasty, to Prince Dan, Ju Wu advised him, saying: choose dangerous actions to seek safety, create disasters to pray for happiness, shallow schemes and deep resentment, in order to make a new friend Friends, regardless of the great disasters of the country, this is the so-called "accumulating hatred and helping disasters".

Put the feathers of wild geese on the coals and burn them all at once. What's more, the state of Qin, which is as fierce as a vulture of prey, vented its hatred and cruel anger against the state of Yan.

It's a pity that Prince Dan didn't listen.

But Gao Jing paid more attention to one point, that is, Ju Wu once recommended a person to Prince Dan—Tian Guang!

In real history, Tian Guang was a sage, but in this world, Tian Guang is a farmer!

In other words, at this time, Prince Dan has already hooked up with Xia Kui?

Gao Jing groped his chin, and said to Black and White Xuanjian beside him, "Go and take over the trap here, and then pay close attention to the movements of the Yan Embassy."

Black and white Xuanjian nodded and asked, "What about the Chu embassy?"

"Ha ha……"

Gao Jing shook his head with a smile, and said, "Whether it's Crown Prince Dan of Yan or General Xiang Yan of Chu, they can't be the master of their own country at all!

Their talk of cooperation is nothing more than a joke. "mouth.

Chapter 180 Debate

Gao Jing could see that the envoy of Yan and Chu could not be the master of his country, but Wei Wangzeng was not necessarily clear.

At this time, envoys from Yan, Chu, and Qin gathered in Daliang. Wei Wangzeng knew why they came, but it was also difficult for him.

Yan and Chu do not border each other, and if they want to join forces to rescue Zhao, they must get the help of Wei Guo.

But now Wei Guo itself is in danger, how dare he go against Qin State?

But Wei Wangzeng couldn't refuse clearly, offending Yan and Chu.

Moreover, the dignitaries in the DPRK and China are also divided into two groups, some are in favor of the alliance and some are against it.

In a dilemma, Wei Wangzeng simply pulled the envoys of the Three Kingdoms together and let them talk on their own.

……

The King of Wei sent someone to inform Gao Jing, inviting Gao Jing to the banquet tonight, and at the same time gave "one master and one slave" two places "[-]".

Gao Jing took the invitation card sent by King Wei and thought for a long time without saying a word.

Yan Lingji couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Gao Jing shook his head and said, "I was thinking, who decided the two places of "one master and one slave"?"

Yan Lingji asked strangely, "Isn't it King Wei?"

"Ah--"

Gao Jing sneered, and said, "I am made by the Great Liang of the Qin State. Although I am not as good as the crown prince of a country in terms of status, I am at least higher than Xiang Yan. If I am "one master and one slave", what about Xiang Yan? Going to the appointment alone?"

Yan Lingji was startled, and said: "Could it be that they plan to assassinate you during the banquet?"

"Prince Pill is possible, but Ju Wuzai should persuade him...Xiang Yan would not be so unwise!"

Gao Jing sighed, and said, "Let Xuan Jian get ready, you accompany me to the banquet."

Yan Lingji was taken aback: "Me?"

Gao Jing laughed loudly and said, "I'm lustful!"

……

In the evening, Gao Jing took Yan Lingji all the way to the palace where the banquet was held.

At this time, in that palace, it seemed quite deserted, with only a few people.

When Gao Jing entered the arena with Yan Lingji in his arms, those people looked over one after another, especially when they saw Yan Lingji, they couldn't help frowning.

Gao Jing didn't seem to notice it, he laughed and saluted and said, "Prince Dan, long time no see, the person next to you should be Mr. Ju Wu who is known as the "Wise Man of Swallows"?"

Prince Dan got up, bowed and said: "Mr. Gao Jing, long time no see, this officially lonely Taifu, Mr. Ju Wu."

Looking at the old man, Ju Wu looked tired, and saluted, "Ju Wu met Mr. Gao Jing."

"Polite!"

Gao Jing returned the salute, and then said to the other side: "General Xiang Yan, Gao Jing is polite!"

Xiang Yan said coldly: "It is rumored that Gao Jing is lustful, but I never thought that she would never forget the beauty in her arms wherever she goes... But sir, is it too impolite for such an occasion?"

Gao Jing put his arms around Yan Lingji and said with a nonchalant smile: "I love this girl so much, I can't leave her for a moment. Please forgive me, the general, and please forgive me, the crown prince and Mr. Ju Wu."

Anger appeared on Xiang Yan's face, and she was about to explode...

"King Wei is here! Crown Prince Wei is here!"

Following the call, Prince Wei walked into the hall with the help of King Wei Zeng.

Wei Wangzeng was pale, staggered, and looked seriously ill. With the support of the prince, he walked slowly to the seat.

After sitting down, he had time to look into the store, and when he glanced at Gao Jing and Yan Lingji who was snuggling beside Gao Jing, he was stunned for a moment, his face was a little unhappy, but he still managed not to have an attack.

Prince Wei nodded falsely to the side, and immediately, the maids in the palace offered drinks and dishes.

Only then did the King of Wei pick up the wine bottle, and said weakly: "The envoys came to our country of Wei. I am very happy, but I am not feeling well. I can't drink with you until today! I respect you for a bottle!"

"Respect the King of Wei!" Everyone including Gao Jing returned their respect with wine.

After drinking one cup, it stands to reason that the next step should be the dance performance of the court lady.

But some people can't wait.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan put down the wine bottle and said directly: "King Wei, now that Qin State is attacking Zhao State, what does King Wei think?"

Wei Wangdao: "I... I deeply sympathize with you."

"puff--"

It was Yan Lingji who couldn't hold back and made a sound.

Crown Prince Dan of Yan was furious, and said: "Mr. Gao Jing is a Confucian disciple, he should know how to be polite, so it's fine to bring a woman here on such an occasion, but now he lost his composure in front of the king?

King Wei, please order this woman to be killed! "

Yan Lingji approached Gao Jing carefully...  

Gao Jing put his arms around her and said with a smile: "Prince Dan's words are too much. The king and his ministers are together, the father is kind and the son is filial, the brother loves the brother and respects, the husband and the wife are gentle, the uncle and the wife listen, and the courtesy is also good!

Wei Wang Renyi sympathizes with Zhao people's hardships, this woman agrees deeply, so she agrees with her, what's the impoliteness? "

Prince Dan said angrily: "Speak out to join him? That is clearly a mockery of King Wei!"

Gao Jing waved his hand and said: "Prince Dan is not this woman, how do you know what this woman is thinking... Does Prince Dan want to have another "debate between Hao and Liang" with me, a Confucian disciple?

Or is it that His Highness wants to debate with Gao Jing? "

Prince Dan blurted out, "What about the debate?"

Ju Wu on the side was going to stop him, but he didn't have time, so he could only blame him with a wry smile.

Gao Jing asked back: "The prince can know, what is courtesy?"

Prince Dan said: "Zhou Li also!"

"No!"

Gao Jing shook his head, and said, "Rites, there are three meanings!

First, there are nobles in the court, there are Zhangs in the view, there are small reports on work, and there are patrols, and they are set up without relying on them. There are gifts and bribes, and the ceremony is the most important.

This is Ritual 3.9, ceremonies, etiquette and things related to it. It needs to keep pace with the times and not be stuck for a while!

Second, the ruler does not disobey the order, the ministers do not disobey, the father is kind and teaches, the son is filial and admonishing, the brother is loving and friendly, the younger brother is respectful and obedient, the husband is harmonious and righteous, the wife is gentle and upright, the aunt is kind and obedient, A woman is tactful when she listens, and it is also a good thing of etiquette.

This is the virtue of man's heaven, which will not change even though it has passed through the ages!

Third, a gentleman and a villain, things have rules of obedience, nobles have constant veneration, lows have equal prestige, and etiquette is irreversible.Ritual, so guarding the country, carrying out its government orders, and not losing its people.

This is a gift for governing the country, what does Prince Dan think? "

Prince Dan was speechless.

Gao Jing said again: "But I don't know what Prince Dan thinks, this three-level ceremony, where is this girl's disrespect?"

Chapter 180: Benevolence and Righteousness

Yan Taizi Dan was speechless.

Ju Wu on the side was helpless, and said: "The ritual of teaching is to know the rules of the upper and lower, and the ritual of guiding the ranks!"

This is a reminder of the hierarchy of status.

Gao Jing smiled, and said: "This woman is called Yan Lingji, she is Yingchuan, the head of the arrest department of Sanchuan Second County, although she is a woman, she is also an official!

In the ritual, the people do not move, the farmers do not move, the workers and businessmen do not change, the scholars do not abuse, the officials do not talk about it, and the doctors do not collect public benefits.

So this woman is not rude! "

Ju Wu frowned.
