Chapter 630 The Son of Heaven Who Wants To Ascend [1 More]
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Almost instinctively, Shao Yuanjie, as a true Taoist, immediately denied Zhu Houzhao's words. If those Taoists who had great faith in Shao Yuanjie saw it, their eyes would probably fall off.
The emperor, who shouldn't believe that there is a so-called place for ascension in the world, firmly believed that Chu Yi had ascended, but Shao Yuanjie, a true Taoist, looked unbelieving.
Shao Yuanjie took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who is deceiving Your Majesty, but I dare to promise Your Majesty with the integrity of my life that there is no one who has ascended in the world..."
It can be seen that Shao Yuanjie is very excited. As a Taoist master, Shao Yuanjie's character is quite good. He can see with his own eyes that with the efforts of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, the monarch and his ministers, the Ming Dynasty's national power is flourishing and the people of the world live in peace and health.
As the king of a country, if he has a virtuous name, it will naturally be a blessing to all the people in the world. However, if the emperor is mediocre, the people will be in dire straits and the world will be in chaos. Shao Yuanjie is absolutely unwilling to see Zhu Houzhao, a wise leader, be confused by others.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao, Shao Yuanjie said: "I dare to ask your majesty who told him about the ascension of the chief executive. I would rather ask him if he saw it with his own eyes..."
Seeing Shao Yuanjie's excited look, Zhu Houzhao, who had a completely calm look on his face, said slowly: "It's Daban, it was Chu Daban who told me personally!"
"ah!"
With an exclamation, Shao Yuanjie showed a look of astonishment on his face, looking like he was in disbelief.
Even if Shao Yuanjie tried his best, he would never have thought that it would be Chu Yi who taught the emperor the truth about ascending to heaven.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's calm look, Shao Yuanjie suddenly understood why Zhu Houzhao believed so firmly in the theory of ascending to the Tao. If it were anyone else, even if he told the emperor in person, the emperor would not believe it.
.
After all, Zhu Houzhao was a sage monarch, and he had his own judgment, and he could not be deceived by anyone who wanted to.
But if there is anyone in this world who can completely believe what Zhu Houzhao says without any suspicion, then this person can only be Chu Yi.
"It was Daban who told me personally that he has ascended. The real person wouldn't think that Daban would deceive me, right?"
Shao Yuanjie opened his mouth, with a look of confusion on his face. After a while, he took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, I still can't believe it. Since Your Majesty said that the Chief Controller has successfully ascended, how can he tell the Chief Controller
Where is your Majesty’s?”
Zhu Houzhao shook his head slowly and did not tell about his experience in the secret room. Except for Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao could not completely trust anyone else. Even if he was a Taoist man like Shao Yuanjie who protected his safety, there were some things that Zhu Houzhao did not know.
Nor will it be fully informed.
Zhu Houzhao just looked at Shao Yuanjie and said: "Master, let me assume that the great companion has ascended. In my opinion, how can people in this world be able to ascend?"
There was a bit of disappointment in Shao Yuanjie's eyes. Obviously, in Shao Yuanjie's opinion, Zhu Houzhao must be crazy, and he didn't know who he was, pretending to be Chu Yi to seduce the emperor.
With a thought in his heart, Shao Yuanjie said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, if you want to achieve enlightenment and ascend, the Chief Manager is the best example!"
Zhu Houzhao raised his brows and said: "Oh, what you mean is that you can practice martial arts diligently like a great companion, and then use the power of martial arts to ascend to the Tao?"
Shao Yuanye nodded and said: "Yes, only in this way can we achieve enlightenment and ascend. The Grand Manager is a martial arts wizard who is once in a lifetime. He has cultivated to the pinnacle of a world in a short period of time. It is not impossible to achieve enlightenment and ascend."
, it’s just that your Majesty…”
Zhu Houzhao's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Do you really want to say that my qualifications are not as good as those of my eldest companion?"
Shao Yuanjie continued: "I don't dare, it's just that it's too late for Your Majesty to embark on the path of cultivation. If you practice early like the Grand Steward, there may not be no hope. But now, I'm bold, Your Majesty wants to rely on martial arts to ascend like the Grand Steward."
, I’m afraid it’s a bit unrealistic.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said: "What the real person said is not unreasonable, but I am the supreme being in the world and the resources of the world are at my disposal. Can't I still make up for the gap?"
Shao Yuanjie looked at Zhu Houzhao solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, this is restricted by the innate bones, and it is extremely difficult to change the day after tomorrow. However, according to Pindao's knowledge, there are three thousand avenues, and all of them can be attained. It is not impossible for your Majesty to rise to the top through the martial arts of the Chief Manager.
Use the Imperial Way to ascend!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Shao Yuanjie with interest and said in surprise: "Imperial Dao Ascension?"
Shao Yuanjie chanted the Infinite Heavenly Lord in his heart. He has been practicing cultivation all his life and has always treated people with sincerity. This is really the first time he has deceived people like an old magic stick now. However, Shao Yuanjie really doesn't want Zhu Houzhao, a wise and powerful leader.
The emperor of Xiang was so destroyed by the villain's temptation.
Shao Yuanjie was really afraid that Zhu Houzhao would be obsessed with cultivating the Tao and causing turmoil in the world, so he relied on his profound Tao skills to make up the so-called method of ascending to the imperial Tao in a short period of time.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Shao Yuanjie with a curious look on his face. He had never heard of the theory of imperial ascension.
There are many theories in the world about seeking immortality and seeking the Tao. If Taoists, Buddhists and even warriors want to ascend, everyone in the world knows these paths.
But to be honest, Zhu Houzhao had never heard of the so-called imperial ascension.
Shao Yuanjie, with a solemn look on his face, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Yes, I just said that there are three thousand avenues, and all of them can achieve enlightenment. Does your majesty know the legend of the Yellow Emperor's imperial daughter who attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven with three thousand?"
"
Zhu Houzhao raised his brows and looked at Shao Yuanjie and said: "Is it true that the real person wants me to imitate the Yellow Emperor and have three thousand maids..."
When Shao Yuanjie heard this, he almost collapsed as he pretended to be a worldly master. He just wanted the emperor to be diligent in political affairs and be a righteous monarch. However, Zhu Houzhao actually gave him three thousand imperial concubines.
But considering that he used the Yellow Emperor's ascension as an example, it's no wonder that Zhu Houzhao would have such an idea. In fact, the legend about the Yellow Emperor's attainment and ascension is almost a household name, so it is not unusual for the emperor to have such an idea.
"Cough cough cough..."
After coughing for a while, Shao Yuanjie forced himself to maintain his appearance as a master, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. In the past, the Yellow Emperor had Master Guangchengzi pass down the teaching, so he could control three thousand women and cross the Yellow Dragon.
Huang Di could practice this method, but it is not suitable for His Majesty. Otherwise, wouldn't the former Emperors of Qin and Han Wu also be able to imitate Huang Di?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said: "What the real person said is reasonable. That being the case, I don't know what the method of ascending the imperial path that the real person just said is?"
Shao Yuanjie said solemnly: "Your Majesty is the monarch of a country. He is responsible for the welfare of all the people in the world. Once Chrysostom is opened, no one in the world dares to disobey. The emperor gathers the fortune of a country. A thought can rejuvenate a country, and a thought can destroy a country. The emperor's Chrysostom can
To become a god, isn’t it possible to gain enlightenment through a country’s luck?”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, and then he reacted. He looked at Shao Yuanjie with a bit of surprise on his face and said: "This is a majestic avenue, and it is indeed the method of ascending to the imperial road. It's just this method, how should I practice it?"
?”
Shao Yuanjie recited the Dao of the Infinite Heavenly Lord: "Your Majesty should work diligently and love the people, gather the fortune of the world into one body, and with the power of the whole country, your ascension is not far away!"
Shao Yuanjie left the palace and immediately went to the residence of Chief Assistant Yang Yiqing.
The emperor was bewitched by villains and actually developed a desire to seek immortality. This reminded Shao Yuanjie of the past emperors of Qin and Han Dynasty. The more talented and strategic the emperors were, the more they valued the affairs of immortals and gods.
Shao Yuanjie didn't know who actually bewitched the emperor, but he couldn't find it, which didn't mean that others couldn't find it, so Shao Yuanjie thought of Yang Yiqing, the chief minister of the cabinet.
Yang Mansion.
Not long after Yang Yiqing returned to the house after handling the affairs at court, the old housekeeper suddenly came to Yang Yiqing and said: "Master, Shao Yuanjie is outside the house asking for an audience!"
Yang Yiqing couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and said with a bit of surprise on his face: "Shao Yuanjie has always been true to himself and rarely interacted with courtiers. He has won the trust of the emperor and has no friendship with Yang. How come he suddenly
Come see Yang..."
However, although Yang Yiqing was quite surprised, Yang Yiqing kept going out of the house to greet him personally.
After all, Shao Yuanjie was also a loyal minister around the emperor, and Shao Yuanjie's character was highly recognized by the cabinet elders, so Yang Yiqing really didn't mean to put on any airs about Shao Yuanjie.
"Hahaha, today Yang's house could hear magpies chirping early in the morning. I never thought that Master Shao would come here and make the pigeons in Yang's house shine..."
Shao Yuanjie shook his head and said humbly: "Your Excellency, the Chief Assistant, has really troubled Pindao. Pindao's coming here has caused a lot of trouble."
The two greeted each other and heard Yang Yiqing say: "It's rare for a real person to come to Yang's house and go inside to talk!"
Shao Yuanjie followed Yang Yiqing into the living room. After the two of them took their seats, the maid served the tea and quietly left.
It can be seen that Yang Yiqing is very strict in running the family. Except for the two of them, there is no one else in the living room, so no matter why Shao Yuanjie comes here, their conversation will not be heard by others.
After taking a sip of tea, Yang Yiqing looked at Shao Yuanjie and said, "Is there something wrong with the real person coming here?"
There is a saying that people don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Shao Yuanjie and Shao Yuanjie were only casual acquaintances, but now they came to visit in person. Apart from having something to do, Yang Yiqing really couldn't think of any other possibility.
When Shao Yuanjie heard this, he turned to Yang Yiqing with a serious look on his face and said, "This matter is of great importance. I feel that I must inform Mr. Yang."
Hearing what Shao Yuanjie said, even Yang Yiqing couldn't help but feel a little curious as to what could have caused Shao Yuanjie to react like this.
Shao Yuanjie then told the story of how the Emperor summoned him. Just like when Shao Yuanjie first met the Emperor, Yang Yiqing had a look of astonishment on his face after hearing what Shao Yuanjie said.
"What, are you saying that someone dares to bewitch Your Majesty and make Him want to seek immortality?"
The dull Yang Yiqing stared at Shao Yuanjie, and it could be seen that Yang Yiqing's mood fluctuated greatly. Obviously, this news had a big impact on Yang Yiqing.
Shao Yuanjie nodded slightly and said: "I have no false words. Your Majesty, I have already thought of ways to temporarily delay it. However, I cannot guarantee when Your Majesty will notice it, so I also ask Mr. Yang to find out the truth as soon as possible."
Who is tempting Your Majesty? We can only cut it off at the source, otherwise, Your Majesty will definitely have other ideas in the future."
There was a bit of solemnity in Yang Yiqing's expression. As the saying goes, there are lessons from the past and guidance for the future. There are examples of Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han. Even now that the Ming Dynasty is booming, if the emperor is stupid and unruly, the huge dynasty will be destroyed.
I'm afraid I simply can't withstand the torment of a foolish king.
Originally, they could leave their names in history and become famous ministers in the annals of history. But if Zhu Houzhao suddenly becomes a weak emperor, won't they, the ministers, also have to leave their names in history?
"No, this matter is of great importance and cannot be underestimated. Yang must discuss it with several other cabinet elders and then come up with a countermeasure."
After saying that, Yang Yiqing stood up and saluted Shao Yuanjie solemnly: "Yang would like to thank Mr. Shao for this."
Shao Yuanjie avoided the situation and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Your Majesty and the Chief Manager treat Pindao very well. Pindao also doesn't want your Majesty and the Chief Manager's hard work to be ruined by villains."
Here Yang Yiqing saw off Shao Yuanjie and hurriedly sent people to invite Wang Shouren, Chen Ding and other pavilion elders.
In the Forbidden City
The commander of the Jinyi Guards hurriedly walked into the emperor's palace. At this time, the emperor was wearing a moon-white middle coat, sitting cross-legged on the bed, listening calmly to Qian Ning's report about Shao Yuanjie's entry into Yang Yiqing's mansion.
Qian Ning said with a somewhat strange look on his face: "Your Majesty, Shao Yuanjie has no friendship with Yang Yiqing, but this time he went straight to Yang Yiqing's mansion as soon as he left the palace. I want to..."
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and glanced at Qian Ning with an indifferent expression. The endless imperial power spread and said indifferently: "You don't need to think about anything. I already know about this matter, so there is no need to pay any more attention to it."
"Forehead……"
Qian Ning glanced at Zhu Houzhao secretly, and saw Zhu Houzhao's superb eyes staring at him, as if he could see through him completely.
Shocked in his heart, Qian Ning quickly lowered his head and said with a bit of fear: "I will obey your Majesty's will."
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Even though Qian Ning is the commander of the Imperial Guards, there are absolutely very few people in the world who can make him fear him. However, when facing the emperor Zhu Houzhao, Qian Ning did not dare to have any distracting thoughts.
After waving his hand, Zhu Houzhao said to Qian Ning: "Step back!"
Qian Ning left quickly as if he had been granted amnesty.
Watching Qian Ning leave, Zhu Houzhao gathered his thoughts and looked at a piece of silk in his hand. The lines of calligraphy on the silk could vaguely see the words "Imperial Way", "Luck", "Ascension" and so on.
Apparently, the truth that Shao Yuanjie made up in desperation to deceive Zhu Houzhao was actually taken to heart by Zhu Houzhao.
