Xiao Congyun breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled.
Fa Kong accepted the things, which meant that he had taken the first and most critical step.
Then things will fall into place and it will be much easier.
He cupped his fists and said, "My prince has admired the master for a long time and has always wanted to ask for advice in person."
Fakong smiled: "What does the prince want me to do?"
"Ask the master for advice in person on how to take a step forward." Xiao Congyun said calmly: "The prince is wise and powerful, but now he is trapped in the same place and cannot take a step forward. I am really unwilling to do so."
Fakong smiled and said: "You want to compete for the throne, right?"
"...Yes." Xiao Congyun said: "As a prince and in charge of a cavalry, how could he not be tempted when he has the opportunity to ascend to that position?"
Fakong nodded slightly: "Mr. Xiao has heard what I said from Lin Feiyang, right?"
"Master said that the prince has no hope of succeeding to the throne." Xiao Congyun said.
Fa Kong nodded.
Xiao Congyun said solemnly: "Master, is there really no hope for the prince?"
Fakong shook his head.
Xiao Congyun said: "If a master helps, is there still no hope?"
"Why go against the will of heaven?" Fakong shook his head and said, "It's just a thankless effort. In the end, it's all in vain."
"With the master's ability and great supernatural powers, it's not difficult, right?" Xiao Congyun said.
Fakong shook his head: "If you go against heaven, you will suffer consequences."
Xiao Congyun was extremely smart and understood what Fa Kong meant instantly.
It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s that the cost is too high.
For the sake of the prince, there is no need to do this step.
Seeing him like this, Fakong shook his head and said: "If you go against the will of heaven, you will inevitably suffer backlash. When the time comes, not only me, but also the prince will also suffer backlash."
"What will be the consequences of the backlash?"
"..." Fakong smiled.
Xiao Congyun frowned and thought.
He also understood what Fa Kong meant.
Once it backfires, you may die.
Fakong said: "Should I be a free prince and enjoy my life, or should I struggle to the death?"
"Your Majesty will fight hard." Xiao Congyun said solemnly.
He knew what Hu Houming was thinking.
It is better to die vigorously than to live a mediocre life. As a prince, I will never be willing to just be a happy prince.
Fakong shook his head: "That is self-destruction. When you are tired of living a good life, do you want to seek death?"
"It is better to live in mediocrity than to die spectacularly."
"This is not grandiose, but self-destruction, seeking death." Fakong said disapprovingly: "Human life is rare, cherish it."
Xiao Congyun fell silent.
He was thinking quickly about how to impress Fakong.
He was sure that Fa Kong had a solution.
Just think about it and you will know.
See the future through clairvoyance, and then continuously take corrective actions to achieve a promising future.
Clairvoyance can do this.
The so-called price is the asking price.
As long as the prince gives enough, Master Fakong will still agree.
Fakong said: "Mr. Xiao, there is no need to waste your efforts. I really want to seek benefits, why should I go to the prince?"
Xiao Congyun was puzzled.
Fakong said calmly: "I just want to find someone who can become the emperor. There is no cost and no backlash. I kill two birds with one stone."
Xiao Congyun's face changed slightly.
Fakong's words really hit him.
He hesitated immediately.
Will the prince become the emperor?
Is what Master Fa Kong said true or false? It is obvious that the prince can become the emperor, but Master Fa Kong said it is impossible.
Fakong looked at him calmly and smiled: "I don't even bother to lie."
"Then...which prince will become the emperor?" Xiao Congyun asked softly: "Can we say this?"
"Do you think I can say it?" Fakong smiled and said, "Once I say it, it may change the future."
"If he is really the emperor who is destined by fate, how could he be affected by a word?"
"It can't be said, it can't be said." Fakong shook his head.
"Really not the prince?"
"no."
"Is it the second prince?"
"..." Fakong smiled and said nothing.
"The eldest prince?" Xiao Congyun asked unwillingly.
"..." Fakong still smiled and said nothing.
Xiao Congyun's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he wanted to see through what Fa Kong was thinking. Unfortunately, Fa Kong was as calm and deep as an abyss, but he couldn't see through it.
Fakong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, there is no need to waste your efforts."
"Alas!" Xiao Congyun sighed: "The prince is extremely talented and wise, so he is actually the most suitable to be an emperor. The eldest prince is too gentle, and the second prince is too sinister. Neither of them are worthy of a famous king."
"The third prince is not upright." Fakong shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, no one is without weaknesses, but everyone also has their own strengths."
Xiao Congyun's eyes flashed, obviously he still didn't give up.
Fakong admired secretly.
This Xiao Congyun is indeed no ordinary person. He is extremely intelligent and determined, and never gives up.
No wonder he became Hu Houming’s think tank.
Xiao Congyun knew that the opportunity was rare. If he could not convince Fakong this time, he might not have another chance, and he would not get it if he wanted to see him.
He took a deep breath and said calmly and solemnly: "Master, I wonder what I have to pay to help the prince?"
Fakong shook his head and said nothing.
Xiao Congyun said: "My lord, if you work hard, there will always be a chance, right?"
"No chance." Fakong shook his head: "You are destined to ask for trouble."
According to the future he saw, King Lun was eventually imprisoned in the palace and could not leave the palace for the rest of his life.
The second prince's ending was much better.
Because the second prince knew the opportunity and saw that the situation was not right, he immediately let go and stopped fighting with the eldest prince.
The third prince was stubborn and unyielding, until he finally failed and was imprisoned in the palace forever, unable to leave the palace, which was really miserable.
Of course, compared to losing his life, he was lucky.
Xiao Congyun still refused to give up and was still fighting for opportunities. He said warmly: "Did the master remind the prince?"
Fakong looked at him, shook his head and said, "There are some things that I know are inappropriate, but because of my temperament, I do them even though I know I can't do them."
Xiao Congyun pondered.
Fakong said: "If we talk about actions and decisions, Mr. Xiao, your wisdom is enough to understand it, and the prince can also understand it. But, will the prince follow it?"
Xiao Congyun frowned and thought.
Fakong said: "In the final analysis, it is the Emperor who decides who will be the emperor. Our views on the princes are insignificant. The emperor's views on the princes are fundamental... If the prince has something to do with me now, what about the emperor?
The prince will definitely be vetoed, so Mr. Xiao should give up."
Xiao Congyun remained silent.
This is indeed true. The Emperor is extremely afraid of Master Fa Kong and will never allow Master Fa Kong to interfere with the power of the Dayun Emperor.
Once he knew that the prince asked Master Fakong for help, he would definitely be furious.
However, without the help of Master Fakong, it would be difficult to win the throne even without angering the emperor.
The prince was in charge of the frontier army but did not achieve much. The emperor was quite dissatisfied and wanted to recall the prince to Beijing and take away his military power.
Once the military power is taken away, the prince will completely lose the qualification and possibility to compete for the throne.
"Alas!" Xiao Congyun smiled bitterly: "It seems that the master is determined and does not want to get involved with the prince."
Fa Kong smiles.
Xiao Congyun finally gave up, which was really rare.
Xiao Congyun sighed and said, "That's all. Since the master has made up his mind, I won't bother you anymore and will leave Shenjing tomorrow."
Fakong said: "On the occasion of parting, the poor monk has only one message to send to the prince."
Xiao Congyun was refreshed.
Fakong said slowly: "If you put down your military power now, go back home to cultivate your mind, there is still a chance."
Xiao Congyun's eyes flashed brightly.
Fakong smiled: "Believe it or not, do it or not do it, it all depends on the prince, Mr. Xiao, I will not send you far away."
"...Thank you so much, Master." Xiao Congyun bowed deeply, turned around, and strode away without any sloppiness, walking cleanly and neatly.
