The warm spring sun hits the ice and snow that has not yet melted, reflecting a dazzling and scorching light.
In the Prince of Yan's Mansion, there is a snow-climbing platform with hot air. King Yan Zhu Di and one person are sitting in the pavilion. There is a wide-mouthed copper pot between them. The soup in the pot is boiling and the fragrance is fragrant.
The man was dressed in black and looked like a Confucian scholar, but his appearance was not very refined.
The hot frozen tofu was taken out of the copper pot, slightly squeezed out of the honeycomb juice, and then thrown into his mouth. It was so hot that he grinned and winked. But he still kept using the chopsticks. After a few mouthfuls, his forehead was already
Full of sweat.
Suddenly he reached out and took off the wig on his head, revealing his bare head.
While eating, he laughed and cursed, "King Yan, this little monk is having a hard time. He is so worried all day long that he can't even let go even after a meal!"
This person is none other than the monk Daoyan who needs to hide his head and tail now, Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Di looked at him, smiled slightly and said, "But I haven't seen you eat less?"
Yao Guangxiao sighed, added a spoonful of sesame sauce to his bowl, and said while unpacking, "It's just a hobby. I don't dare to go out to meet people. I can't let people know that the monk is still alive. I just look forward to eating a delicious meal every day!"
"
Except for the two of them and Zhu Di's close family members, everyone in the world thought that Yao Guangxiao had died out of fear of crime.
But it has always been the case that good people do not live long, but evil people survive unscathed.
Zhu Di looked at the other party again and muttered, "There is an ancient temple from the Liao Dynasty in Jinzhou. If you get tired of staying here, you can go..."
"Then shall I leave?" Yao Guangxiao stopped his chopsticks, tilted his head and said, "Kick me out?"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Are you deliberately using your words to disgust me?" He stood up and looked at the snowy rockery outside the pavilion, "I just feel uncomfortable seeing you hiding in the house!"
Yao Guangxiao quickly cooked a piece of mutton in the pot. When the meat was still red, he put it into his mouth. Then he put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He looked at Zhu Di intently and said, "What's wrong with Chitose recently? I think something's wrong with you, little monk!"
Zhu Di exhaled the turbid air in his chest and said, "Trouble!"
Yao Guangxiao was silent for a moment, "But he is the one in the capital!"
"A secret report came from the capital. My nephew has created a martial arts school and allowed the noble sons of the capital and the meritorious captains in the army to enroll." Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and said, "What's more, the world's martial arts are also like this.
Disciples of the emperor, martial arts is the way to the prosperity of the country, and martial artists are also the pillars of the country, with great talents!"
Having said this, Zhu Di turned around and sat down again. He held the wine glass but did not drink it. Instead, he looked at the jade cup in his hand, "My nephew always does amazing things. This kind of ability to win people's hearts, his father, this king
, no one would have thought of it!”
Martial arts has promoted warriors all over the world to a higher level, and the fame recognized by the imperial court means that even if these warriors are slightly lower than those who have passed the imperial examination, they cannot be laughed at as Qiu Ba who only knows how to kill people like before.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly made such a move. In the short term, he may only be able to see that he united the nobles in the capital more closely around him. But from a long perspective, he has attracted the hearts of all the warriors in the world.
This is an upright conspiracy, an upright favor, and an upright imperial power.
What Zhu Di owned was just a corner of Yan land, while Zhu Yunxi owned the entire world.
This irreversible generation gap cannot be overcome by relying on ambition. Over time, Zhu Yunxi's side will become stronger and stronger. It's okay if King Yan doesn't move, but if he moves, he will be crushed to pieces by Mount Tai.
The grand plan in his heart was originally promising, but now it has reached the point where there is no chance of winning. Moreover, every step Zhu Yunxi takes makes Zhu Di feel great pressure.
"Chitose is frustrated?" Yao Guangxiao also poured a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "Actually, if Chitose wants to be a happy and wealthy prince in the future, just give up." He filled the glass again and said, "You
Curb your sharp edge and be a peaceful and submissive king. The young monk and the others go away to a foreign land and hide their names. Just think that the grand plan you once had in mind is just a dream!"
Zhu Di's expression became a little fierce, and the corners of his eyes twitched fiercely.
Looking at the snowy scenery of the pavilion again, the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away are picturesque. It seems so close and within reach. But it is also so far away and so unreal.
Not willing to give in! Really unwilling to give in!
In the clenched fist, the nails were already embedded in the flesh, and Zhu Di's expression slowly turned ferocious.
"What's wrong with me? Why do I always have to be suppressed by others! When my eldest brother was there, my father didn't choose me, which was understandable. Now that my eldest brother is gone, my father would rather raise a child than me. But now
, this little child transformed into a man-eating tiger. Just like the big brother before, he was like a mountain weighing on his head!"
There are a lot of mixed feelings in my heart, and various expressions gather on my face.
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are picturesque, but who among the real men would be willing to live under others?
I, Zhu Di, have a grand plan in my heart to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty and revive the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. I also ask myself that I will definitely surpass the previous sages, create illustrious martial arts, and create a prosperous dynasty. So that the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to worry about foreign enemies, and will no longer have to worry about foreign enemies.
Rebellion of barbarians.
But.........
"Chitose, have you thought about it?" Yao Guangxiao continued, "The little monk knows that you have a hard time making a choice now, so it's better not to choose and let nature take its course. You are the emperor's own son, King Sai of the Ming Dynasty. No matter how you change in the future, as long as you are right
The imperial court is respectful, you are still inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!"
"What I hate the most is being under one person!" Zhu Di suddenly said angrily, "Why, there must always be someone who is above me!"
"Futile anger is the most useless thing!" Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, "No matter how angry you are, it can't change the facts. You are a generation of heroes, and you know better than anyone what to choose!" He said, smiling again, "It's for peace of mind.
King or Li Shimin?"
King Zhu Di of Yan raised his jade cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"But, again, in my opinion, you can't even become the King of Anle. The emperor's grandson is very prejudiced against you. Once your majesty dies, the new emperor will definitely cut off the vassal. The two kings of Qin and Jin are his uncles, so
No matter what, you will be the first to bear the brunt of Xu Fan’s attack.”
"If he ever gets the evidence of what you have in mind, you will be nothing more than fish on the chopping board without soldiers and power. Assuming that the young monk is the emperor's grandson, he will definitely kill you and use your head to frighten other vassal kings!
"
"I have known for a long time that since the day I had that thought, there is no way out!" Zhu Di's expression became relieved, "You will be a hero in life, and you will be a hero in death! However, we all made a mistake. After all, that child is not
A paper tiger. But a king of beasts who is waiting to eat people anytime and anywhere!"
"I have so much strength, but I have no place to put it to use. He is not yet twenty years old. If he were older, I would..."
"It's just a martial arts school, how can he be so angry at a thousand years old?" Yao Guangxiao said, "It should be noted that in this world, in addition to intrigues, there are also conspiracies. He has the Sunshine Way, and we have a single-plank bridge!"
"Ha!" Zhu Di smiled, "How can you, a monk, be so litigious?"
"It's not that I'm trying to be mysterious, but there are some things that I'm afraid to say will taint Qiantose's ears!" Yao Guangxiao suddenly became solemn, "As long as Qiantose has the ambition to live forever, we and other ministers will have their bones broken into pieces. As the saying goes, man can conquer nature, and Yan Fan is united and united. If there are strong soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles in the light and ministers waiting in the dark, it may not be impossible to accomplish anything!"
He said with a grin, "Even if you are defeated, really defeated, it is better to die than to kowtow to others and let others play with you!"
Zhu Di's eyes suddenly became sharp, he stared at the other person, and said slowly for a long time, "What are you going to do?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled gently, picked up the chopsticks, "I can't tell you!" After saying that, he immersed himself in eating again.
"There are some things that I don't even bother to do..."
"There's no way it was Chitose who did it, so how could it be blamed on you!"
"What are you going to do? Monk! I am not a young man."
"What's wrong with Chitose?" Yao Guangxiao raised his head and said with a smile, "The young monk knows that you cherish feathers, want to be a hero and an emperor, and disdain selfish things, but......"
As he spoke, he wiped his mouth gracefully, "You don't hate the emperor's grandson, you just regard him as your enemy. But in this world, there are people who both hate him and regard him as your enemy!"
"He just blocked your way, but some people think that he stole other people's things!"
Zhu Di became angry and grabbed the other person's chopsticks, "You monk, have you made it clear?"
"Hey, the secret must not be leaked!" Yao Guangxiao still smiled and patted his bare forehead, "A thousand-year-old can know one word, and it's better to change things!"
Having said this, Yao Guangxiao stood up, walked to the pavilion, and picked up a stone on the ground.
"Chitose, look at the ice on this lake, is it still solid?"
As he spoke, the stone in his hand was suddenly thrown out, and with a bang, a small hole appeared on the seemingly stable ice surface, and ice particles flew everywhere.
"If it's winter, the ice knife and ax on this lake can't break it. But the seemingly inconspicuous iron pick with no edge at all can make a hole in a few strokes!"
"Once there is a hole, the entire ice surface will break!"
