Chapter 1012 There are always people who want to harm me
Lin Ze thought for a moment and replied seriously: "What Meng Ke said seems true and false, or is true and false mixed together. It is difficult to distinguish clearly, but I think there is no need to waste too much time on this."
"After all, the trouble in the Taoist palace lies with the Confucian sages, not Mencius. Regardless of whether what Meng Ke said is true or false, we only need to infer the Confucian sages' intentions from what Meng Ke said."
“It is better to trace the roots than to trace the roots.”
Zhuang Zhou thoughtfully asked: "Oh, what do you think, junior brother?"
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Junior brother made a bold guess. If there is anything wrong, please correct me."
"If what Meng Ke said is true and the Confucian sage appears this time, the main purpose is to "suck dry" the three men, Meng Ke, Yan, Hui and Xun Kuang. Then the Confucian sage has been secretly planning for thousands of years, how could he allow Meng Ke to escape easily?
?”
"In other words, why couldn't the Confucian sage find a way to catch all Meng Ke, Yan Hui and Xun Kuang in one fell swoop? Instead, Yan Hui alone was able to frighten the enemy. Could it be that the Confucian sage couldn't have expected that Yan Hui would seek refuge in the Taoist palace in order to save his life?"
"Obviously the Confucian sage is not that stupid. I am afraid that every move of Meng Ke is part of his plan. Even Meng Ke's refuge in the Tao Palace today and seeking protection from his senior brother is just a part of the Confucian sage's plan."
Zhuang Zhou frowned slightly and said: "If this is true, the Confucian sage has not yet restored his holy status and allowed Meng Ke to be placed under the control of our Dao palace. Wouldn't it be Tai'a's fault and handing over the handle to others?"
Lin Ze couldn't deny it and said: "If it is really the Confucian sage's plan, can senior brother guarantee that Meng Ke will be controlled?"
Zhuang Zhou replied confidently: "Before the Confucian sage lost his holy position, I was not as good as him. After the Confucian sage lost his holy position, he was not as good as me. In the face of absolute strength, even if the Confucian sage is as cunning as a fox, he cannot seize it under my eyes."
Let’s go to Meng Ke.”
Lin Ze chuckled and said, "It's not because I look down on my senior brother and is calculating in my head but not on my own. Even if my senior brother is as powerful as a Confucian saint, he may not necessarily be able to win."
Zhuang Zhou glanced at Lin Ze and said proudly: "Junior brother, I don't know how powerful the Saint Realm is. I don't blame you."
Lin Ze was startled when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing "haha". These two senior brothers are quite arrogant.
Lin Ze laughed for a long time, until he saw Zhuang Zhou's face gradually becoming unkind, he stopped smiling and said seriously: "Senior Brother's so-called absolute strength is based on the premise that the Confucian Saints will take drastic measures to confront you head-on. I don't think Confucianism
The Holy Society is stupid enough to rob someone in front of our senior brother."
"Besides, after all, senior brother can't always stay by Meng Ke's side. For example, if the teacher calls urgently, will senior brother take them to see the teacher together?"
Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not impossible."
Seeing that Zhuang Zhou was becoming more serious, Lin Ze quickly changed the subject and said, "Stop, let's not talk about this in advance. Let's continue to discuss the authenticity of what Meng Ke said."
"Junior brother just concluded that the Confucian sage deliberately let Meng Ke go for another purpose. Then what would be the purpose of the Confucian sage?"
Lin Ze praised: "Senior brother, you asked a good question, and I plan to get the answer through reverse reasoning."
"First of all, the Confucian sage intends to join the same path and aspire to transcendence. I wonder if senior brother agrees?"
Zhuang Zhou replied angrily: "If it weren't for the sake of transcendence, the Confucian saint would have to be crazy to practice evil methods to poison his direct disciples who are like his nephew."
Lin Ze smiled and said: "Now that the Confucian saint has lost his holy status, it is obvious that he cannot enter the realm of transcendence by returning to the same path, but why does he still use this evil method?"
Zhuang Zhou frowned and said: "Of course it is to quickly recover your cultivation and ascend to the holy throne again."
Lin Ze: "Then the question is, why are the Confucian saints eager to ascend to the throne? Is it for the sake of the age of great strife?"
Zhuang Zhou responded cooperatively: "Of course."
Lin Ze said in a calm tone: "Since it is for the age of great strife, the purpose is obvious. The Confucian sage wants to get rid of me."
Zhuang Zhou was slightly puzzled and asked: "Why did you turn into a Confucian sage and want to get rid of you, my junior brother?"
Lin Ze rolled his eyes at Zhuang Zhou and said: "It has been more than a year since the Western Qin Dynasty established the Ding Dynasty. With the release of the new policy, the people have returned to their hearts and the world is at peace. If the Confucian saints don't find ways to get rid of me, how can they have a chance to fight for the destiny?"
"Only when I am gone will the increasingly consolidated Western Qin State be separated and disintegrated. Only then will Confucian saints and Buddhas have the opportunity to support Liu Ji and Zhao Tuo, and then compete with the Taoist palace."
Speaking of this, Lin Ze looked at Zhuang Zhou with a half-smile but said with some meaning: "Although the lieutenants are somewhat capable, they are not enough to replace me, my junior brother."
Lin Ze's words are not big words. Strictly speaking, he is the founding king of the country. Logically speaking, if he is really gone, even if the Taoist Palace fully supports the Lieutenants, it may not be able to stabilize the situation.
Even Han Xin and Chen Ping, a group of elders who followed Lin Ze and established the world, would secretly wonder if His Majesty had been harmed by the Taoist Palace and it was possible to raise the flag of rebellion.
Zhuang Zhou looked slightly unnatural and said: "Junior brother is of course irreplaceable."
Lin Ze smiled casually and said: "Thank you for your respect, senior brother. I hope that senior brother can remember that I am more important than Meng Ke. In this way, when encountering danger, senior brother will take action to protect junior brother as soon as possible, and will not because of
Meng Ke and others were distracted, which caused accidents to our junior disciples."
Lin Ze was afraid that Zhuang Zhou would not be impressed enough, so he emphasized again: "Senior brother, please remember that junior brother is more important than anyone else, and the safety of junior brother is the top priority in everything."
Zhuang Zhou replied solemnly: "Okay."
Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, his goal of becoming Zhuang Zhou's priority protection target had been achieved.
Since Zhuang Zhou personally agreed to this matter, if Confucian saints and Buddhas want to play some conspiracy in the future, such as diverting the tiger from the mountain, making false claims to the east and attacking the west, at least he will not be easily fooled.
For Lin Ze, is it important whether Meng Ke lives or dies? Is it important that the Confucian saint returns to the throne? Is it important whether the Taoist palace can become the winner of this great struggle? Is it important that the Taoist saint enters the realm of transcendence?
No, these combined are more important than him living well.
"Junior brother just concluded that what Meng Ke said was true and inferred that the Confucian sage had bad intentions. What if what Meng Ke said was false?"
Zhuang Zhou suddenly remembered that he had missed something, and quickly added a question.
Lin Ze said without changing his expression: "Does this need to be said? If what Meng Ke said is false, then he was sent here by the Confucian sage. Apart from murdering me, what other purpose could there be for sending him here?"
"So while protecting me, senior brother, you have to secretly observe whether Meng Ke Maitreya Ksitigarbha is doing anything unusual in secret, and be more cautious."
"For the sake of Dao Palace's grand plan, and for the teacher's chance to transcend, senior brother must ensure that I am safe and sound."
Lin Ze emphasized again.
Zhuang Zhou couldn't help laughing and said: "I know, the Dao Palace has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and there are not many people who are as afraid of death as my junior brother."
Lin Ze replied seriously: "So they are all dead, and I am still alive, junior brother."
Zhuang Zhou...
After a while, Zhuang Zhou asked with a serious face: "Since junior brother has inferred so much, why not think about what strategies can be used to solve the current dilemma?"
