After Grand Tutor Qin finished his conversation with Yan Huisheng about the assassination attempt on Princess Qingping, the subject of Zhou Gu came up.
He looked at Yan Huisheng, "After the exam, that child Zhou Gu disappeared. The old Duke told me he planned to refuse official positions and take a trip after the exam. Do you agree with him, Your Highness?"
Yan Huisheng briefly responded, "I rarely venture beyond Capital City. I once went to Jiangzhou, where I saw a relatively prosperous life. I know though, in the vast area of Daliang, there are many places struck by disasters, poverty, and hardship. People lack warm clothes and full meals. It's good that Zhou Gu has ambitions to see these sights. After all, travelling thousands of miles is far more insightful than going through thousands of books. When he returns from his journey, he will know better about how to be a good official."
