When Xiang Jian walked into the palace, Taiding was coughing and coughing up phlegm with blood in it.

His sickly face was full of haggard. Taiding was no longer the majestic and decisive Taiding he had been before.

He has indeed changed a lot during this time.

"You finally came……"

"I've been feeling uneasy lately, and I'm afraid something will happen to me."

"Do you also believe this statement?"

"The sky is unpredictable, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings. I am not a god, and I am not beyond birth, old age, illness, and death, so I naturally believe it."

"hehe……"

Taiding smiled softly, a little silly and innocent, like a child who had not grown up, and like he was chatting with old friends he had not seen for a long time. Although he seemed a little weak, he still showed enough

of goodwill.

"I'm going to die..."

Taiding spoke a little sadly, his voice gentle, as if he was saying goodbye or telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

"Everyone will die. Of course, I already knew your situation..."

Xiang Jian sighed, neither sad nor happy.

"You knew it a long time ago, how did you know it?" Taiding said in surprise.

"It hurts the heart and liver, damages the spleen and lungs, and the spirit is getting weaker day by day. How could you not know it?"

"That's putting it lightly, anyway, it's not you who died." Taiding said in a funny and angry tone.

"I was just joking, why should you take it seriously?"

Xiang Jian looked at Tai Ding, sighed again and said softly: "Actually, I knew it eighteen years ago."

Taiding didn't speak, obviously listening carefully.

"Because I accidentally saw the book of life and death, which is the one in the hand of Lord Yama."

"Although we were far apart and the book was placed upside down, there happened to be a gust of wind passing by at that time. My eyesight was very good and I could vaguely see the words Tai Ding, Prince of the Great Shang Dynasty, died at the age of thirty-two."

"You are indeed a very difficult person to deal with. Even after seeing the King of Hell, you still refuse to be honest." Tai Ding said with a relieved smile.

Xiang Jian said nothing.

"Da Shang is entrusted to you three brothers!"

"Although I don't want to admit defeat, I did lose, and I am convinced that I lost, because I am really going to die... and I have to admit it." Taiding said with a bitter smile.

"The king is above, the ministers are in the palace, the nobles are in the hall, the slave master is at home, and the slaves are in the wild. There are layers of exploitation. There are not many lowly people, but there are still not enough for the noble ones. Apart from the Lord's leisure, what is the difference between all living beings?"

"Are you still blaming me for killing those slaves?"

"The biggest difference between Zhenshi is that they are lowly and wander in the wild, they are humble but value righteousness, they help those in danger and help the poor. They are not courteous at the top, and they are not untouchable at the bottom. They know the importance of life and death."

"These are the advantages, but what about the disadvantages? Killing willfully will easily worry people's livelihood, and there may be people with deliberate intentions who will interfere with it!"

"The way of the rivers and lakes lies in the willfulness, the eternal persistence of morality, and the need to draw a sword to help when there is injustice on the road. As for the black sheep, the way of the rivers and lakes should naturally drive them away."

"With different positions and different views, we have different interests to protect. This is the gap between you and me."

"Kill the hatreds and hatreds in the rivers and lakes with your sword; run for justice and wipe them away with a smile. Only when you are neither noble nor humble can you survive for a long time."

"I cannot agree with your statement, because as the prince of a great merchant, how can I let them be neither noble nor humble?"

"The four bodies are not diligent, the five grains are not separated, and they are pampered and favored. This is the place where the prince cannot understand his mind the most. Don't you know that heaven and earth regard all things as stupid dogs, benefiting all things without being noble or inferior, and being virtuous but invisible?

To govern the world without doing anything?"

"This statement is very new, but it is not enough to be cited in the classics."

"Educating all people to work and rest, to find out the advantages and disadvantages, is the highest virtue but not virtue. It is virtue, it is action without doing anything, it is not ugly but noble and beautiful."

"Who said this?"

"Of course it's what I said, and it's what Emperor Xuanxuan wrote in the "Jin Ren Ming"."

"I do not know how?"

"Because the prince only sees the world's swords, how can he have a way of governing the world?"

"Emperor Xuanyuan gave them to me, and I passed them on to the king. This is also the biggest gain of Xuanyuan City this time."

"Oh, I didn't expect that I would sacrifice my true talents and lose my pearl. I am really not a competent prince."

Xiang Jian comforted him: "The turning point of a country's fate often lies not outside the palace, but in the crown prince himself. Jie died in Xia because of his lack of morality. If the Shang kings in the past generations were virtuous, they would naturally not be afraid of the loss of royal power, let alone the charlatans, because

There are talents from generation to generation in the world, so why worry about not having subordinates?"

"This is a sound statement. Who do you think my father will be able to inherit and develop business in a hundred years from now?"

"For us martial arts practitioners, the most important thing is to observe Qi. I believe that the Crown Prince, His Highness the Second Highness, and His Highness the Third Highness are all people with weak Ziwei Qi. It can be as little as three to four years, and as many as six or seven years. They will not live long. On the contrary, Taijia Ziwei

The Qi is stronger, it is like a piece of unpolished jade, but the Qi shape is not correct and needs to be sharpened and corrected before the appearance of crape myrtle can be corrected."

"Is it Jia'er? Since he wants to correct Ziwei's aura, it means that he will definitely make mistakes. Then among the ministers in the court, who can help him?" "I have met Master Yi Yin many times and know that he must be a great master.

It is not impossible for Shang to be the longevity star, with one old man assisting the four kings. This is a great blessing given to the great Shang Dynasty by God."

"If it's Yi Lao, then I'd be really relieved."

"Alas, although Master Yiyin can correct the shape of Ziwei, it will definitely offend Tianyan, and the catastrophe of heaven and earth in five hundred years will not be far away."

"Great catastrophe?"

"That is to say, if the Ziwei Qi shape is corrected, then in five hundred years the Shang Dynasty will definitely have a tyrant as notorious as Xia Jie. When the great catastrophe of heaven and earth comes, there will be an unprecedented huge war between humans and immortals.

After death, the soul and spirit are everywhere, and the world is full of resentment. When will peace be achieved?"

This sentence was very important and contained a lot of information. After hearing this, Taiding didn't speak for a long time.

"What will happen if the Ziwei aura is not corrected?" Tai Ding felt a little unsure.

"Taijia is your son and the future king of Dashang. If destiny can be violated, it is not a disaster."

"Of course, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince survives and successfully inherits the throne, I think everything can be resolved." Tai Tai

Ding smiled bitterly and said, "This is fate. If I could choose, I wouldn't be so distressed."

"The king still doesn't know your situation?"

"How can a son tell his father that he is going to die? I don't want my father to give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man, but this is also a helpless move. To be honest, I really don't want to die."

"What you are saying is not the truth, but nonsense. Except for those who are looking for short-sightedness, who wants to die?"

"I have died once, so of course I understand how you feel..." Xiang Jian looked at Tai Ding and said in a sincere tone.

"Death...you must be experienced in dying. Alas, I have no experience..."

"Can you tell me what it feels like to die?"

"People always have regrets, so it is inevitable that you will feel unwilling when you are dying. If you have done something wrong and bad, you will definitely regret it when you die. If you have relatives and friends caring about you, there will be more reluctance. I think, with the prince

With His Highness's situation, you must be most reluctant to discuss the affairs of the family."

"If a person cannot die peacefully, he will not be peaceful even in Jiuquan."

"That's why I'm asking you to..." Taiding said hopefully.

"Da Shang's lifespan is only more than five hundred years. This is destiny. Know the destiny without confusion. No one can force it, not even gods, let alone human power."

After Xiang Jian left, Taiding's face was no longer calm, but had complex expressions, including sadness, pain, annoyance and sorrow.

Destiny, he is a dignified and high-ranking prince of the merchant kingdom, and he is actually stumped by these two words.

Man's power is small, and his nobility is simply insignificant to the whole world.

He can compete with anyone, but he cannot compete with heaven and earth. He is waiting quietly, waiting for death to come.

Waiting to die is indeed extremely terrifying!

No, he is the prince, he is the prince, he will not admit defeat, he will fight against the destiny, he will defy the destiny!

Thinking of this, Taiding shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Zhang Jiuwu came in, followed by General Kang Jinlong.

"Let Zhu Lin go to Diqiu. I need a list of all the rivers and lakes. Also, please pay close attention to the five gates and three pavilions, and don't let go of the slightest disturbance."

"As you command, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The two generals left the palace gate, and Chang Yi came in again. Taiding looked at Chang Yi, and then asked in a deep voice: "If the Crown Princess and Jia'er are alone, are you willing to serve them loyally and never change your mind?"

Chang Yi had understood the prince's intention and hurriedly knelt down with a plop, saying: "His Royal Highness the prince is very kind to his subordinates. This subordinate's life belongs to the prince. I am willing to protect my empress and young master Zhou Quan with my life."

"Well, very good! My father was in poor health when he came to visit me this morning. Did you know that?"

"Your Majesty is busy with political affairs and stayed very late last night reviewing the memorial, so he caught the cold."

"I have accumulated a lot of copywriting due to illness these days. You can bring everyone here for me."

"Your Highness, what about your injury..." Chang Yi hesitated worriedly.

"When you eat and work, God is fair. I cannot shirk my responsibilities. I will send you all the memorials in the future. I will read them one by one."

Chang Yi looked at the resolute Taiding with distress, and sighed helplessly in his heart, but he could not disobey: "Yes, I will ask someone to move here immediately!"
