Four hundred and fiftieth seven chapters Tongtian Pagoda
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong was breathing heavily.
After nearly a month of conditioning, his physical condition is now much better, and he almost doesn't look like he was sick anymore.
Many times Emperor Xianlong hoped to get guidance from experts so that he could break through the bottleneck and achieve the goal of immortality. But now it seems that it is too difficult to achieve this.
Since you can't ascend, it's good to keep fit.
One more day to live counts as one more day, and one more day to live counts as one more day.
As long as you can get all-round exercise, there is no problem in achieving the goal of strengthening your body.
"Your Majesty, Master Huiyan wishes to see you."
At this moment, the young eunuch spoke very cautiously beside Emperor Xianlong.
"Well, I understand. Let's announce it."
Although Emperor Xianlong currently knows that it is extremely difficult to achieve ascension with his qualifications, he is still quite friendly to Master Huiyan, and the reason is very simple. Master Huiyan can bring him a lot of improvements in practice.
At least it can achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely realistic person.
In his opinion, he can get along with anyone who can bring him benefits.
Emperor Xianlong had already opened his eyes at this time and adjusted his state.
Switch from a practitioner to an emperor who is not angry and powerful in the world.
The adjustment of the entire state needs to be very quick and skillful.
Even an error or omission of just one detail is not allowed.
"call"
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Emperor Xianlong's state had completely changed.
Soon, Master Huiyan entered the Nuan Pavilion and saluted Emperor Xianlong with his hands clasped together.
"The poor monk pays homage to Your Majesty."
"The holy monk has a body, please come and offer a seat to the holy monk."
Emperor Xianlong was quite polite to Master Huiyan.
No matter what Master Huiyan does, Emperor Xianlong will always have an extremely kind attitude.
This is mainly because Master Huiyan once provided a lot of help to Emperor Xianlong in various aspects. Emperor Xianlong's courtesy to him was also a way to express goodwill.
In many cases, people can express kindness in many ways.
But Emperor Xianlong's method was the simplest and most straightforward, without any sloppiness.
Soon the eunuch brought Jin Dun behind Master Huiyan. Master Huiyan lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk is asking for an audience today because he has something important to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh? Holy monk, please speak."
Emperor Xianlong was quite polite to Master Huiyan.
"The poor monk wants to build a pagoda that reaches the sky in Chang'an City."
"Tongtian Pagoda?"
Emperor Xianlong obviously didn't know what to say to Master Huiyan's unfounded thoughts.
"Why would such a good holy monk build a pagoda that reaches the sky in Chang'an City?"
"Your Majesty does not know that evil spirits are rampant near Chang'an City. Building a pagoda can deter evil spirits. It can also sense the will of God, which will help condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and help your Majesty ascend."
When he heard this last sentence, Emperor Xianlong's eyes couldn't help but become sharp.
He had previously longed to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. Later, after learning that ascension was extremely difficult, Emperor Xianlong had no choice but to give up.
The reason why he chose to give up was because he knew he had no chance. But now Master Huiyan told him that there was still a chance, so could Emperor Xianlong choose not to try?
If he didn't try even though he knew he had the chance, Emperor Xianlong would probably be disgusted to death by himself, right?
In any case, since Master Huiyan mentioned this, Emperor Xianlong felt that he still needed to fight for one or two and give it a try.
Anyway, what if it succeeds?
"Well"
"Let me think about it carefully."
Emperor Xianlong did seem a little confused.
I have to say that Master Huiyan’s proposal is quite tempting.
For Emperor Xianlong, it was not a difficult task to build a pagoda in Chang'an City. It could be said that as long as he issued an imperial edict with a wave of his hand, people from the Ministry of Works would rush to do it for him.
But the difficulty of building a Tongtian pagoda is completely different from that of building an ordinary pagoda.
If you want to build a Tongtian Pagoda, it will consume an incredible amount of resources and manpower.
And how high is it considered to reach the sky? How high should it be built to reach the sky? These are all issues that need to be considered.
As long as one area is not handled well, there will be many problems to come.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong simply stood up and walked around the Nuan Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Usually he is used to doing this when he encounters a problem that is difficult to solve.
Whenever there was a problem that was difficult to deal with, Emperor Xianlong would use this method to calm down, think slowly, and weigh the pros and cons.
You must not be anxious at this time. The more anxious you are, the easier it will be to lose control.
Emperor Xianlong's experience was so rich that he could always find the best solution.
As long as the final solution is not too bad, then it is acceptable.
At least so far, Emperor Xianlong has not encountered any unsolvable problems that confused him.
"Holy Monk, how high does the tower need to be?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it must be at least five times as high as the Holy En Tower."
Master Huiyan answered quite calmly, but when Emperor Xianlong heard this, he still gasped.
"hiss"
Sheng'en Pagoda is also a Buddhist pagoda and is currently the tallest building in Chang'an City.
Therefore, it is actually quite normal for Master Huiyan to compare it with Sheng En Pagoda.
But the problem is that when he opens his mouth, he has to be five times taller. This requirement is very difficult for Emperor Xianlong to achieve.
"Does the holy monk need to build such a high pagoda?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that the pagoda built is called the Tongtian Pagoda. Its purpose is to communicate with God. In this case, the higher the pagoda is, the better. The poor monk said that at least it should be
This pagoda is five times as high as the Holy Grace Pagoda, which is just the minimum height. It would be best if it could be higher. In other words, the higher the better, and the higher the better."
Master Huiyan spoke very decisively without any hesitation.
It was obvious that he had thought about this passage for a long time.
Emperor Xianlong was in great trouble after hearing this.
If everything goes as Master Huiyan said, he will order the construction of an extremely high pagoda.
So no matter from every aspect, this will have a huge impact.
Because first of all, building such a high pagoda requires recruiting a large number of people to do corvee labor.
This is a big project, so it will definitely not be completed in less than a year and a half. It may even take longer.
Therefore, for Emperor Xianlong, if he really issued a decree, he had to consider the attitude of the people of Chang'an City.
If it arouses excitement among the people, if it arouses the anger of the people, it is no joke.
Although Emperor Xianlong held hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands, he could suppress the unarmed people at any time. But if a nationwide rebellion really broke out, even Emperor Xianlong might not be able to suppress it even if he had three heads and six arms.
Sometimes people's sentiments are also very strange things, and it is difficult to understand them clearly in all aspects.
But for the current Emperor Xianlong, he still needs to think carefully and deal with it carefully. As long as a certain position is not handled well, it may lead to a series of problems in the future.
As long as something is not done well in some places, it may lead to changes in the entire empire and the destiny of the country.
Emperor Xianlong actually knew this all the time. It was just that sometimes it was difficult to truly grasp it clearly.
"How long will it take to build the tower?"
"It depends on how many people your Majesty can mobilize to build it. If you mobilize 100,000 civilians, it should be completed within a year."
"One Hundred Thousand Civilians"
Emperor Xianlong was obviously shocked when he heard this. One hundred thousand people is not a small number. Although Chang'an City has a population of more than one million, there are many old and weak women and children. There are not many real working adults. These one hundred thousand people
The city of Chang'an was almost drained of all its prime-age labor force.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong could not only draw strong laborers from Chang'an City, but also draw laborers from surrounding prefectures and counties. But the problem is the project of 100,000 people. Just eating and drinking for these 100,000 people every day is a big deal, and management is also a big deal.
question.
It is true that these are issues that Emperor Xianlong does not need to worry about personally, but even if someone does worry about it, and someone takes care of it for him, if it is not perfect and meticulous, it will cause many big problems.
Emperor Xianlong was not a hypocritical person, but he knew very well what it meant if the details were not done properly.
Once the details go wrong, a series of problems will arise.
"One hundred thousand people is a bit too much."
"Your Majesty the poor monk just said that one hundred thousand people can build the Tongtian Pagoda as quickly as possible. If Your Majesty feels that one hundred thousand people is too many, then of course the number can be reduced. But in this way, the construction will be completed
The construction time of the pagoda will definitely be extended. The fewer people your majesty recruits, the longer it will take to build the pagoda. The poor monk once made some estimates. If your majesty decides to recruit 30,000 people, it will take about five years.
It will take years to build it. Because this is not a simple proportional relationship, but involves many aspects. I hope your Majesty can think twice."
Master Huiyan’s strategy has always been to stop at nothing.
He will present facts and reason. He will present various possibilities, but he will never have a biased attitude, and he will never force you to make any judgment.
This is actually quite tricky.
Because Emperor Xianlong was used to being the superior, he was a typical docile donkey.
If you follow his wishes, then it's easy to say whatever you want.
But if he goes against his will, Emperor Xianlong may fall out at any time.
Therefore, when Master Huiyan expressed this attitude at this time, he was actually telling Emperor Xianlong of various possibilities. It was up to Emperor Xianlong to make his own decision.
In this way, after Emperor Xianlong made a decision, Master Huiyan would not be able to rely on him. No matter what other attitude Emperor Xianlong had later, Master Huiyan would not take the blame.
This is actually a very smart attitude, especially when facing a powerful king like Emperor Xianlong, this attitude is even more valuable.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong obviously had difficulty making a decision for a while.
In his opinion, this decision was too difficult to make.
Even a slight change in attitude can have a huge impact.
Emperor Xianlong felt that he could not make perfect decisions in a short period of time.
At this time, decision makers must not be too blind.
Because once the attitude is blind, the consequences can be said to be fatal.
Emperor Xianlong knew all this very well.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong kept breathing in and out to adjust his mood.
Emperor Xianlong usually made adjustments in this way when he fell into confusion and became nervous.
Facts have proved that even the supreme emperor in the world sometimes needs to constantly adjust his emotions.
Otherwise, you are very likely to be trapped by emotions.
Emperor Xianlong is not a hypocritical person, but as far as the current situation is concerned, if he wants to control everything perfectly and handle everything perfectly, he still needs to make a perfect decision, even if it is just one decision.
The consequences of problems occurring are also unimaginable.
This is an extremely huge project.
Emperor Xianlong certainly would not have only summoned 30,000 people, which would have taken five years to build.
This was not about building a palace. Even if it was about building a palace, Emperor Xianlong felt that five years was a long time.
This is just building a pagoda. Although this pagoda can reach the sky, Emperor Xianlong actually knew that this was what it meant.
It is really nothing more than a pagoda.
So in Emperor Xianlong's view, it didn't actually take so long.
One year is actually almost the same time.
Therefore, if the pagoda was to be built within one year, Emperor Xianlong would have to spend 100,000 people.
In fact, after careful consideration and weighing, Emperor Xianlong felt that it was not impossible to recruit 100,000 people at once.
First of all, Chang'an City can recruit 30,000 to 50,000 civilians, and the remaining civilians will be recruited from civilians near Chang'an.
It may sound ridiculous at first, but it is actually possible.
After all, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
As long as Emperor Xianlong issued the imperial edict, officials at all levels would press it down layer by layer, and there would basically be no problems.
As long as the goal can be achieved, even if the process seems to be a little tortuous, there won't be much of a problem.
call
Emperor Xianlong exhaled a breath of turbidity in an effort to calm down his mood.
He knew that once this huge project started, there would be no reason to stop it.
Once the project starts, stick to it no matter what.
In fact, as long as the project can be kept running, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles it encounters, it won't be a big problem.
As long as the project can be kept running, this crucial Tongtian Pagoda will eventually be built.
Many times people actually lose opportunities due to constant hesitation.
Emperor Xianlong knew that he must not wait or hesitate at this time.
If you keep waiting blindly, you may miss this opportunity.
As the saying goes, an opportunity must never come back again.
If you really miss this opportunity, you can imagine how difficult it will be to gather the opportunities together.
Moreover, Emperor Xianlong knew that if he hesitated, Master Huiyan would definitely feel very embarrassed.
After all, this matter was brought up by Master Huiyan on his own initiative.
Even if Emperor Xianlong didn't give face to anyone, he couldn't help but give face to Master Huiyan.
After all, Emperor Xianlong will still be counting on Master Huiyan from now on.
Not only from all aspects, the current Emperor Xianlong seems to be inseparable from Master Huiyan.
If Emperor Xianlong and Master Huiyan were estranged or even parted ways at this time, Emperor Xianlong would not know who else he could rely on.
Who else can he rely on?
Do you rely on Yuan Tiangang?
Not to mention whether this old charlatan is reliable or not.
Even if Yuan Tiangang is really reliable, can Emperor Xianlong make him work hard?
Maybe it’s the same thing.
Although Yuan Tiangang looks like a sage and aloof from the world, he actually has his own ideas.
If he cannot come up with conditions that satisfy him and cannot make Yuan Tiangang truly feel sincerity, then Yuan Tiangang will not be easily tamed.
Although Yuan Tiangang is currently considered an official of the Zhou Dynasty, his subordinate relationship is not very strong.
If he wants to, he can resign at any time.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong felt that Yuan Tiangang would not go to this step.
After all, for Yuan Tiangang, if he can fully attach himself to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to the prosperity and development of Taoism. If he leaves the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will actually be difficult to have these things again.
.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang always has to consider more than just himself. If he only considered himself, he might have been able to let go of everything long ago. But there is also Taoism that he has to consider, and then everything will be different.
Emperor Xianlong believed that Yuan Tiangang was quite thoughtful, so at most Emperor Xianlong could only use him, but he could not truly make Yuan Tiangang do things for him willingly.
Some things can be done just once, but some things require constant grinding to achieve good results.
In fact, is this the same situation that Master Huiyan is facing now?
The reason why Master Huiyan came to Chang'an in the first place was actually because he wanted to use the strength of the Zhou Dynasty to improve the development of Buddhism in the Western Regions in the Central Plains.
To put it bluntly, they all have a purpose.
Emperor Xianlong was not worried that Master Huiyan had any plans. On the contrary, he was afraid that Master Huiyan had no plans.
If Master Huiyan really had no plans, then Emperor Xianlong would be in a panic.
What people pursue in life is fame, wealth and color.
You must have one of these three, right?
If you don’t plan for anything, could it be that you are a god in the sky?
Emperor Xianlong did not believe that there really were saints in this world who did not want anything. So instead of expressing this attitude of not wanting anything, it is better to express the goal you want to achieve openly.
In this way, both parties can sit down and have a good chat and negotiate.
It doesn't matter if we really can't reach an agreement or cooperate.
But if you always have an attitude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away, then there is really no need to talk.
Emperor Xianlong hoped that they could reach an agreement quickly.
So far, Master Huiyan's performance can be considered quite good.
But that alone is not enough.
They still have a lot to do next.
If all this can be handled well, then Emperor Xianlong believes that they can maintain a pretty good relationship for a long time to come.
not enough
If this relationship cannot be handled well, the next thing may be a little troublesome.
The relationship between Emperor Xianlong and Master Huiyan was somewhat complicated, far more complicated than the relationship with Yuan Tiangang or others.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong would be extra careful when handling it, for fear that something might go wrong at some point, which would lead to a series of problems.
Emperor Xianlong's biggest problem now is that he can't bear the trouble.
He must handle the problem extremely efficiently. Only in this way can he comprehensively put everything on the right track.
"I think I can give it a try."
Emperor Xianlong said calmly.
He did not agree directly, nor did he say what must be done, but said that he could give it a try.
This sentence is very subtle and fully demonstrates the art of language.
Once you try it, it means it can be done, but it must be efficient. If the efficiency cannot be guaranteed, Emperor Xianlong can choose to withdraw it at any time.
This is actually testing Master Huiyan’s bottom line to see what Master Huiyan’s attitude is on this matter.
If Master Huiyan's attitude was very resolute, then Emperor Xianlong would have nothing to hesitate and would definitely do it without hesitation.
But if Master Huiyan showed any sign of loosening up, then Emperor Xianlong would probably choose to bargain.
As the saying goes, ask for a high price and pay back the money.
This kind of thing doesn't only happen in private markets, it is a common thing even in the royal family.
It's impossible for you to offer a price, and then Emperor Xianlong agrees without even counter-offering.
How much resentment does it take to do something like this?
Being emotional is often a terrible thing, and Emperor Xianlong naturally knew this.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong required himself to remain absolutely calm during conversations, games, and negotiations with Master Yu Huiyan.
As long as he can remain absolutely calm, there won't be too many problems next.
As long as he can maintain absolute composure, Master Huiyan should be able to relax somewhat.
It's not like I won't let go at all.
At this moment, Master Huiyan didn't mean to speak in a hurry, but kept staring at Emperor Xianlong quietly.
Emperor Xianlong was somewhat agitated by the stares, so he cleared his throat and said, "Has the holy monk figured it out?"
"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. The poor monk actually has a very good idea."
"Holy monk, please speak."
"Your Majesty, the poor monk thinks that the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda can actually be connected with His Majesty's worship of Heaven. Didn't His Majesty always worship Heaven in the Temple of Heaven before? Unfortunately, the Temple of Heaven is not very high, and most of the time it only has a symbolic meaning. But
If Your Majesty builds this Tongtian Pagoda, the meaning will be completely different. Your Majesty can completely offer sacrifices to the heavens on this Tongtian Pagoda. In that case, the effect of worshiping the heavens will definitely be much better than before."
"Well"
When Emperor Xianlong heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t Master Huiyan’s leaps of thinking a bit too high?
Emperor Xianlong didn't even react at all, and was taken away by Master Huiyan.
According to the routine mentioned by Master Huiyan, it is not impossible to worship heaven at the Tongtian Pagoda, and maybe it can really achieve good results. But the problem is that Emperor Xianlong will face huge pressure from the court.
resistance.
In other words, the resistance that Emperor Xianlong encountered mainly came from within the imperial court.
If this resistance can be eliminated, it won't actually be a big problem.
However, if these resistances cannot be dissipated, we will actually still face many problems.
"call"
The ministers, especially the imperial censors and officials, will definitely try their best to persuade and even bring out the ancestral system and ancestral etiquette.
Emperor Xianlong felt his scalp numb just thinking about it.
But he didn't have any good ideas.
Because the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.
More often than not, the emperor also had to make compromises, and the emperor also had to make concessions.
This is something that must be experienced and something that must be endured.
Perhaps Emperor Xianlong understood this from the very beginning, so he was able to occupy an advantageous position in the duel with his ministers in the court.
But now, is he going to go head-to-head with his ministers in order to build a pagoda that reaches the sky and worship heaven on it?
Emperor Xianlong didn't know. Emperor Xianlong didn't know how significant this was.
If it is really possible to interact with God, it is indeed worth a try. But is it really possible to achieve this?
If everything is just a gimmick, it actually doesn't have much practical significance.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely practical person, and he valued more practical interests.
If these practical benefits cannot satisfy him, then he may have other completely different ideas.
"Holy Monk, will this Tongtian Pagoda really be able to communicate with God after it is built?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, of course it is. As long as the Tongtian Pagoda is built, Your Majesty will no longer have to point to the Qintian Prison. You can communicate with God yourself."
Master Huiyan really understood Emperor Xianlong so well that he directly touched on Emperor Xianlong’s pain point with one sentence.
Although Emperor Xianlong was the Son of Heaven, he had to use the Qintian Prison to know the will of God.
The supervisor of Qintian Prison is none other than Yuan Tiangang.
This determined that when Emperor Xianlong wanted to know some of God's meaning, he could only rely on Yuan Tiangang's hand.
In some ways, this caused Emperor Xianlong to have to look at Yuan Tiangang's face.
But what is the identity of Emperor Xianlong? Emperor Xianlong is a majestic emperor. It is unheard of and unseen for a majestic emperor to see the face of a minister. No matter what others think, Emperor Xianlong must be unhappy anyway.
Therefore, for Emperor Xianlong, what he wanted to do most was actually to be able to communicate with God by himself, eliminating the need for the role of Qin Tianjian.
That’s why I say Master Huiyan’s words just now were very clever.
If what Master Huiyan just said was that after the Tongtian Pagoda is built, Buddhism in the Western Regions can communicate with God on his behalf, Emperor Xianlong would definitely not be tempted. Because in this way, Emperor Xianlong himself would not get anything.
The good thing is that he still has to use his hands on others. It is nothing more than that this person has changed from Yuan Tiangang to Master Huiyan, and it is nothing more than that he has changed from Taoism to Buddhism.
For Emperor Xianlong, there was actually no essential difference.
But if it were said that he was communicating with God personally, the feeling would be completely different.
It is a matter of course for the emperor to communicate with God in person, no matter from which angle you look at it.
With this kind of communication mechanism, many times a person can completely let go.
It would be even better if this person were the emperor.
In fact, Emperor Xianlong always believed that he had the ability to communicate with God personally, but he was limited by various conditions and could not achieve it.
But now that he had the opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it again.
Master Huiyan has already said this. If Emperor Xianlong can no longer grasp and control his emotions, then it will be unreasonable anyway.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong exhaled a breath of turbid air to calm down and said: "According to the opinion of the holy monk, this Tongtian Pagoda not only allows me to worship heaven at a closer distance and communicate with God, but also has many advantages in practicing ascension.
What’s the benefit?”
Since we've already talked about it for this reason, it's better to ask clearly once and for all.
Master Huiyan mentioned before that after the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda, it would be of great benefit to Emperor Xianlong's practice.
Emperor Xianlong could use this tower to continuously hone his cultivation skills, and even have the opportunity to ascend directly.
I have to say that this was indeed a huge temptation for Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong was not a hypocritical person, but he also knew very well that if there was an opportunity to ascend, he must seize it firmly and never let this opportunity slip away from his hands.
The logic is naturally quite simple.
Because once he ascends, he will be able to gain eternal life.
At least this argument can be clearly seen from the current records in classics.
As for whether one can achieve eternal life after ascension, no one knows yet.
But Emperor Xianlong thought it was still worth a try.
If a person can gain eternal life, what difference does it make if he becomes an emperor or not?
What's more, even after Emperor Xianlong ascended to eternal life, the successor emperor would still be his son or his descendant. His descendants could still rule the Great Zhou Empire, so wouldn't it mean that he was still ruling the Great Zhou Empire?
This is simply equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
Emperor Xianlong became more and more excited.
"Of course, if Your Majesty can build the Tongtian Pagoda, it will be very helpful for His Majesty's ascension. If His Majesty encountered a bottleneck before, it is very likely that he broke through this bottleneck while practicing at the Tongtian Pagoda, and then
Soaring into the sky, straight into the sky."
Master Huiyan's speaking skills are quite high. Every sentence can clearly speak to the point that Emperor Xianlong is most concerned about. In this way, Emperor Xianlong will not have any doubts and can deal with everything very calmly.
.
This point is still very critical. You must know that Emperor Xianlong was a very suspicious person.
In fact, there are very few emperors who are not very suspicious. In other words, those emperors who are not very suspicious basically cannot escape the fate of a violent death.
Therefore, those who can rule for a long time are very suspicious beings.
Emperor Xianlong was no exception.
This was clearly felt by Master Huiyan from the first day he came into contact with Emperor Xianlong.
Therefore, in the process of dealing with Emperor Xianlong, Master Huiyan paid great attention to skills to ensure that he would not offend Emperor Xianlong and that he would not touch Emperor Xianlong's negative scale.
Otherwise, just relying on Emperor Xianlong's attitude in certain aspects, Buddhism in the Western Regions could completely disappear in the Central Plains.
Master Huiyan knew when to say what to say and when to say what to say to make Emperor Xianlong happy.
So he made Emperor Xianlong feel the ultimate pleasure every moment. He made Emperor Xianlong feel that he was the most noble person in the world, and everyone including Master Huiyan was surrounding him.
.
Once Emperor Xianlong felt this way, he would naturally feel elated and quite excited.
Once Emperor Xianlong starts to get excited, everything will be easier to handle.
Many times, the reason why something cannot be made simple is because the matter itself involves many interests.
But if you can put aside these interests, you will find that it is not that difficult.
At least for now, Master Huiyan doesn't think this matter is very difficult.
Isn't he handling things quite well now?
Doesn’t he make Emperor Xianlong very satisfied now?
In fact, the thing itself is very simple. The key lies in the art of speaking.
If you can master the art of speaking well, everything will fall into place before long.
You need to pay more attention to this when dealing with the emperor.
The emperor has been in a high position for a long time, and people have always supported him.
Therefore, when encountering some sharp-tongued situations, the emperor would become very impatient.
It is very unnecessary to confront the emperor at this time. It will only worsen the situation and eventually lead to an irreversible point.
But if we could have a reasonable conversation with the emperor at this time, or even lower our posture a little bit, and follow his words, we might get a completely different result.
Many times emotions change at a very subtle point.
Therefore, more often than not, reasonable mastery depends on experience.
For now, Master Huiyan’s grasp is pretty good. Let’s see how Emperor Xianlong reacts next.
Emperor Xianlong is of course very satisfied now.
It can be said that everything Master Huiyan said spoke to his heart.
As long as everything develops as Master Huiyan said, then Emperor Xianlong believes that it won't be long before he can truly strive for ascension.
Ascension is not that difficult. Ascension is not that difficult.
The key is to have suitable external conditions.
Now Emperor Xianlong finally understood why it was so difficult for him to practice and ascend before. Because he did not have a good connection with God.
Being an emperor has many advantages, but failing to establish a good relationship with God will lead to a series of problems.
Emperor Xianlong understood this now, and he regretted why he only understood it now.
If he had understood it from the beginning, if he had understood it long ago, then maybe his current level of cultivation would have advanced by leaps and bounds and started to grow rapidly, right?
But actually it’s not too late to understand now.
After all, at this moment, Master Huiyan provided him with a more suitable way, a more convenient way, and a faster way.
That is to build a pagoda that reaches the sky.
Through this artificial method, a connection is established between oneself and God.
The process of establishing this connection may seem a bit long, but in the eyes of Emperor Xianlong, it actually didn't have much to do with it.
Because once it is established, it will maintain a very important role for a long period of time.
So no matter how long it takes to build this pagoda, it is worth it.
Of course, it would be best if it can take the least amount of time to build.
For Emperor Xianlong, if he could spend the least time building the pagoda, he would have more opportunities to practice in the future, and he would have more opportunities to challenge ascension.
Ascension is of course not an easy thing, but it would be best if you could have more opportunities to try and make mistakes.
After having the opportunity to try and make mistakes, many things became much simpler. Even if he faced one, two, three or five failures, Emperor Xianlong would not feel anything wrong.
Emperor Xianlong has never been a hypocritical person, so he will seize all opportunities as much as possible.
As long as everything is under control, there is nothing to fear for Emperor Xianlong.
Isn’t building a tower that reaches the sky something you can control with your hands?
"call"
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Emperor Xianlong's current attitude can be considered quite obvious.
He has accepted Master Huiyan's suggestion, and the next step is actually to discuss the details.
Because of the plan proposed by Master Huiyan, Emperor Xianlong could not find any reason to reject it. This plan was too perfect from any angle, even perfect and unreal.
Emperor Xianlong thought more than once about what he would get if he could really talk to God one day.
But now this thinking actually has a chance to become a reality.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong really felt extremely excited.
Talking to God is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.
But not only can he think about it, he also has the opportunity to make it a reality.
So for Emperor Xianlong, this was really the most beautiful thing in the world.
Once he can climb the Tongtian Pagoda, once he can talk to God on top of the Pagoda, then he will have mastered the way of heaven. Go to the damn academy to get the way of heaven.
As long as he builds the Tongtian Pagoda, he is the person closest to God, and he is also the person who can best control the way of heaven.
Emperor Xianlong became more and more excited.
He felt an indescribable pleasure.
To a certain extent, Emperor Xianlong did master the core of the core.
If Master Huiyan can help him again in the future, it will not be surprising at all if Emperor Xianlong really ascends.
At that time, what will it be like when he arrives in the immortal world? Emperor Xianlong could not help but begin to look forward to it at this moment.
"Okay, I'm sure. Let's recruit 100,000 people to start building the Tongtian Pagoda. We must ensure that the Tongtian Pagoda is completed in the shortest possible time."
