The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1732: The hidden meaning

Ge Yiming, wearing a white embroidered sword suit, walked into the open main door of the study, turned right, and saw a man behind the desk, looking down and reviewing documents.

At the same time, the man raised his head and looked into Ge Yiming's eyes.

Before this, Ge Yiming had imagined countless possibilities in his mind, but until he saw the person in person, he found that the person in front of him was very different from his imagination.

The person behind the table should be a young man in his twenties, but at first glance he looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties. Looking more closely, the skin and appearance of this person are indeed no different from that of a twenty-year-old young man, but his eyes seem to reveal a kind of lofty height on the top of a mountain, and seem to carry a vastness that spans the ages, and even a kind of majesty that dominates the world, as if there is still the sharpness of a sword unsheathed.

Ge Yiming's mind was briefly confused, and he couldn't tell what the person in front of him was. A university scholar? A historian? A king? Or a general who killed countless monsters?

Ge Yiming was shocked as never before. Even when he first met his uncle Ge Baiwan, he was only moved by his uncle's wisdom. But when he saw the eyes in front of him, Ge Yiming felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The person opposite him blinked, and Ge Yiming got out of the confusion and breathed a sigh of relief. But at the same time, he keenly noticed that he seemed to catch a trace of fatigue in the moment when the other person blinked.

It was when he caught this trace of fatigue that Ge Yiming felt an inexplicable shame surging in his chest, as if he owed the person in front of him a debt. At the same time, there was a palpitation in his heart, as if he saw a towering giant leading the people forward, and now he was tired and resting.

Ge Yiming looked at the person in front of him and couldn't speak.

"Are you Ge Jinshi?" Fang Yun slowly straightened his upper body and looked at Ge Yiming expressionlessly, without the slightest smile on his face.

Ge Yiming immediately woke up and bowed hurriedly, saying, "Student Ge Yiming, I meet Governor Fang..."

Ge Yiming bent down, and when he stood up, blood rushed to his face, his cheeks were hot, and a hint of shame flashed in his eyes, because yesterday, he told the officials that he would make Fang Yun look bad, and just before entering the door, he thought he could catch Fang Yun off guard, but now, he didn't even dare to say a word.

"Well, what do you want to say? Tell me." Fang Yun's eyes were clear and his expression was indifferent, as if even if the state government caught fire, he could suppress the fire with this expression alone.

Ge Yiming stood up and said regretfully, "Governor Fang is in great trouble, but he still doesn't know it. What a pity, what a pity."

"Continue." Fang Yun's expression did not change at all, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.

Ge Yiming bit his teeth lightly and then returned to normal. This kind of words is called a wake-up call, which is the best way to attract people who meet for the first time. It was taught by Ge Baiwan, who learned it from a famous quack doctor. Ge Yiming had imagined Fang Yun's various reactions, various countermeasures, and Fang Yun pretending to be calm, but he didn't expect Fang Yun to be so indifferent, which was not the reaction of a young man at all.

Ge Yiming was a little panicked, and even suspected that Fang Yun saw through his intentions, but he adjusted his mentality immediately.

Ge Yiming casually bowed and said, "Now the Kingdom of Jing is in crisis. There are barbarians coming south from outside, and there are disputes between the emperor and the ministers inside. The root cause is Chen Sheng, who has been seriously ill for many years. To say something disrespectful, Chen Sheng can no longer reproduce the glory of the past. He will definitely lose in front of Lang Lu. Birds choose trees, and ministers should choose masters. The king of Jing is not a king, and the country is not a country. How can a famous minister be deeply involved in it? Looking at our Qing country, the ancestor has not experienced a life-and-death battle, has not been seriously injured, and has the protection of magic medicine. He has at least a hundred years of life. He first ruled the country with a variety of schools, and now he has taken over. Dongsheng Pavilion, which controls the human race, should be the supreme ruler of the human race. Compared with Qingguo and Jingguo, it is like the sun and the moon shining on fireflies. I think you should switch to Zongsheng, and then the road to sainthood will be smooth. In time, you will be canonized and ranked among the holy temples, overlooking the world. If you stay in Jingguo, your future is bleak, and you may die. I am sincere, please think twice, Governor Fang. "Well, you should have prepared a lot of speeches, choose a paragraph and continue to tell me." Fang Yun said, his expression still did not change at all. Ge Yiming was stunned, stunned for a moment, and wanted to curse. Is there anyone who speaks like this? Who doesn't prepare before persuading others? Who will say such a sentence when being persuaded? How can people respond to this? What is the meaning of choosing a paragraph to say and acting like a performer? Ge Yiming suppressed his anger and helplessness and laughed dryly: "Governor Fang is indeed an extraordinary person. He cannot be judged by common sense. The reason why I came here is because I know that some big shots are going to join forces with Zhang Longxiang at this Mid-Autumn Literary Conference to tarnish your literary reputation and seize your power. If you fail, it will be a great loss to the human race. As long as you join Qing Kingdom, I guarantee that all obstacles will disappear." Fang Yun shook his head gently and said: "Before you persuaded me, you knew that this governor would never agree. Then, your purpose of coming here is obvious." Ge Yiming was silent. It seems that Fang Yun has seen his intention. If he can persuade Fang Yun to join Qing Kingdom, he will try even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance. If persuasion fails, he will use some tricks to disturb Fang Yun's mind. But he didn't expect Fang Yun to see it early. If he uses those tricks again, it will be too embarrassing. However, it will be even more embarrassing if he leaves like this.

Ge Yiming was silent for a moment, and said: "It is said that Governor Fang is a maverick. Today I know that the rumors are true. I sincerely say that you will definitely lose this literary competition. I have received news that Zhang Longxiang will use the method that he is very good at but you are not good at."

"Why don't I know?" Fang Yun's tone was flat, but there was a hidden meaning that only he could know.

Ge Yiming didn't know the real intention of Fang Yun's words. He smiled slightly and said proudly: "If you know, that's the problem. If nothing unexpected happens, Lord Zhang Longxiang has arrived in Baling City and is making preparations. Once he is ready and officially goes to Yueyang Tower for the literary competition, your reputation as the world's number one talent may be in jeopardy."

"Well, I will wait for him. If you have nothing to do, go down." Fang Yun ordered him to leave.

Ge Yiming prepared a lot of things to talk about, and even prepared various emergency plans, but he didn't expect Fang Yun to use such an unexpected method and didn't give him any chance at all.

Ge Yiming soon realized that Fang Yun called him in, not wanting to talk to him at all, but to convey a message to the outside world: Fang Yun is willing to communicate with anyone, willing to use gentle means to resolve conflicts, and is not as unreasonable as the rumors say. He is willing to meet even the people of Qingjiang Commercial Bank, so who else can't he meet?

It turned out that Fang Yun would never give Qingjiang Commercial Bank a chance. He was just giving a signal to those who were not deeply involved with Qingguo, and at the same time giving those foreign scholars who were concerned about this matter a false impression, making Fang Yun look humble and respectful. If the two sides could not reach an agreement, it might not be Fang Yun's unwillingness to talk, but it might be that Qingjiang Commercial Bank or Qingguo was bullying too much.

"What a Fang Xusheng!" Ge Yiming finally realized that he was fooled by Fang Yun.
