487 chapters, his talent is unmatched under heaven...

That Crown Prince Hui listened for a long time, but still couldn't make out what that advisor among his entourage had said.

What Zhuangzi, Laozi, the Qu Clan, Li Bai, Ba Shan Chu waters...

The more Crown Prince Hui listened, the more confused he became.

Infuriated, Crown Prince Hui slapped the table and said, "All right, why do you keep dragging the conversation off topic, making me confused? I've been supporting you for nothing. At a critical moment, how can not a single one of you come up with a plan for me?"

These days my father ignores state affairs all day, casting aside the realm's foundations, spending all day with those swordsmen practicing their swords. Seeing our Zhao state's strength waning day by day, I want you to come up with a brilliant idea, recommend someone exceptionally wise to persuade Father to change his thinking and restore our Zhao state's prestige. How do you not understand my meaning?

At this point, the other advisors, following the Crown Prince Hui's meaning, said, "Crown Prince Hui speaks well. Why can't you speak properly? You go off on tangents—when the Crown Prince asks about city buildings, you start talking about horses……, it makes no sense. The Crown Prince has been supporting you for nothing……"

Before that advisor could finish speaking, his words provoked a burst of laughter from all the advisors, including the Crown Prince.

That advisor originally had no talent; he usually just boasted and fawned to win the Crown Prince's favor. Today, when he tried to fawn, he overdid it and ended up kicking the horse instead. His remarks were off the mark—he accused others of talking nonsense, while he himself was talking nonsense. As the saying goes, "Even a wise man, after a thousand considerations, must make one mistake"; and besides, that advisor isn't even wise.

Amid the laughter, Crown Prince Hui waved his hand and said magnanimously, "Don't laugh. Please let the advisor who just recommended Zhuangzi finish speaking. I've long heard that Zhuangzi's talent is exceptional. He has traveled far and wide, his learning is unmatched under heaven, and he is eloquent and adept at debate."

The other advisors also chimed in, saying, "Crown Prince Hui speaks well. Zhuangzi's debating skill is truly the best under heaven. When Zhuangzi was in Wei and Lu states, he conversed easily with King Wei and Duke Lu, his ideas flowing endlessly, making King Wei and Duke Lu admire him so much they bowed in submission."

The advisor who first recommended Zhuangzi, hearing everyone praise Zhuangzi's wisdom and talent, saying he was an outstanding hidden gem among the folk, also took the opportunity to say, "Crown Prince Hui, Zhuangzi is not only eloquent and adept at debate, wise, with his own unique views. His knowledge is vast; he knows everything about music, dance, crosstalk, skits, drama, magic, games, as well as everything in heaven, earth, and the seas; he encompasses all phenomena, with boundless horizons and endless varieties at his fingertips. When he speaks, his words flow endlessly, delightfully amusing; when he writes, his prose is lavish and twisting, extraordinarily strange. Even if he were a host of CCTV's evening gala, he would more than suffice.'……"
