"Your Majesty?"
"What do you mean by this?"
Monk Dao Yan was a little panicked.
He had never seen Zhu Di look so lost.
Zhu Di raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night.
"Monk, once we raise an army, no matter whether we succeed or not, thousands of civilians and soldiers will die because of us!"
"Is it really right for us to do this?"
Dao Yan: "!!!"
Damn it!
what does it mean?
The army is about to start, and you suddenly don’t want to do it?
I have been plotting for so long that my pants have been taken off. Now you tell me that you can't do it?
It’s really… so unreasonable!
Monk Daoyan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Your Majesty!"
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”
"Even Emperor Taizu Gao raised his troops to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and conquered the world, and countless soldiers and civilians died because of it!"
"But Emperor Taizu Gao successfully drove out the Tartars, restored China, and established a prosperous Ming Dynasty!"
"This is enough to prove that the sacrifices of those soldiers and civilians were worth it. They created a peaceful and prosperous age for future generations, an era of great rule that will not be oppressed and enslaved by the Mongolian barbarians!"
Monk Dao Yan has always been regarded by Zhu Di as a wise man, so at this moment he said the most touching words.
He knew that Zhu Di had listened to some slanderous rumors and was full of doubts about his raising troops to appease Jingnan.
The solution chosen by Monk Daoyan was very simple. He used the deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao, whom Zhu Di admired most, to inspire Zhu Di to get back on his feet.
However, Monk Daoyan forgot one thing, and that was what Zhu Di just said. He saw his father scolding him!
"Oh, you're right!"
"Grandpa Taizu created a prosperous Ming Dynasty!"
"Then I, the king, are now launching an army to rebel, isn't it just to destroy this era of great rule?"
"The common people are gradually living a better life now, and the court is gradually getting back on track. Once I raise an army to rebel and start a war, they will suffer from war and chaos again!"
"Then what is the difference between this king and those thieves who rebel and usurp the throne for their own selfish interests?"
"This king is an eternal thief!"
Zhu Di's face was pale and he shouted while crying and laughing.
The eternal thief!
If he, Zhu Di, really dares to rebel, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he will become an eternal thief!
This is something Zhu Di must not do by then!
Monk Dao Yan was stunned, and his fingers holding the rosary beads turned faintly purple!
Who on earth contributed these slanders to make the always wise and powerful Yan King Zhu Di fall to such a point that he even had self-doubt?
"Your Majesty!"
"Is it beneficial to the people if you just surrender?"
"Then don't you know what kind of character Zhu Yunwen is?"
"Putting the Ming Dynasty in the hands of Zhu Yunzhen will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the people, Your Majesty!"
Facing Monk Daoyan's questioning, Zhu Di's face was blank and blank.
"I have no idea!"
"I really don't know!"
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Get out! Leave me alone for a while!"
Monk Dao Yan was about to speak to persuade him, but Zhu Di interrupted him rudely.
In desperation, Monk Dao Yan could only sigh and slowly exited the study.
As soon as he came outside and saw Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu, Monk Daoyan's expression immediately changed.
"Master, what happened to my father..."
"You two gentlemen, who made the slanderous remarks that ruined the prince's ambition?"
Monk Daoyan asked with murderous intent, which made Big Fatty look confused.
Then Zhu Gaochi thought of something and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief.
If he remembered correctly, the father and the second son went to see the new son-in-law happily, and then they came back looking like this!
Damn it, isn't that Su Yang doing good things again?
Zhu Gaoxu forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and told what happened.
At first, when Dao Yan and Zhu Gaochi heard that Zhu Di had encountered Bao Zhao by chance, they were so frightened that their faces changed wildly, and they secretly said something bad.
But when they heard what happened, their expressions gradually became weird.
King Zhu Di of Yan and Chief Minister Kou Baozhao of the Ministry of Punishment were all educated by Su Yang?
One had doubts about the uprising and the other was against the promotion of vassal reduction?
Damn it, what is going on!
So where did Su Yang come from?
Isn't this a proper "shit stirrer"? !
Zhu Gaochi and Monk Dao Yan looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
It's fine now. The Prince of Yan's Mansion has prepared everything and is about to launch an army to rebel. As a result, King Yan Zhu Di is dying and can't stand up anymore!
So what should they do now?
Waiting for the imperial envoys to arrive and being slaughtered one by one?
Damn Su Yang!
Damn shit stirrer!
Monk Daoyan licked his chapped lips, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, I will leave it to you to persuade the prince. If necessary, please ask the princess to take action. You must cheer up the prince!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded, he also understood the seriousness of the matter.
If the father continues to degenerate like this, everyone in Prince Yan's Mansion will have no choice but to wipe their necks and commit suicide!
"Then Master..."
"I'm a poor monk, go meet that Su Yang for a while!"
Monk Dao Yan narrowed his triangular eyes, which made Zhu Gaochi feel frightened.
The master's triangular eyes narrowed, which meant someone was going to die!
"Ahem, Master, please don't act recklessly. Su Yang is my little sister's husband!"
"Yes, monk, my father recognized Su Yang and even said he was a 'good son-in-law'!"
The two brothers spoke for Su Yang in unison, fearing that the demon monk would be harmful to Su Yang.
Monk Daoyan glanced at the two of them lightly and nodded lightly.
After receiving Dao Yan's response, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Gaoxu angrily.
"I mean, second brother, you were there at the time, couldn't you stop that kid Su Yang?"
"Are you okay now? Su Yang scolded his father crazy, what should we do next?"
"Stop?" Zhu Gaoxu was also angry, "How can I stop you?"
"Then Su Yang dared to scold Zhu Yunzhao in front of Bao Zhao, why didn't you stop him?"
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
Awesome!
Big Fatty sighed, turned and left the place.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Please, mother-in-law!"
Monk Dao Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who nodded unhappily.
The two left Yanwang Palace again and went straight to Suyang Courtyard.
"Monk, I want to ask you something. Is it the rumor you spread that ruins my reputation?"
"Second Young Master is joking, you don't have much reputation to begin with!"
"..."
The two arrived in silence all the way.
Just as Zhu Gaoxu was about to knock on the door, a fragrance came from the yard.
"It smells so good. It's better to come sooner than later!"
"Boy Su, open the door quickly, I'm here to get some food!"
After a while, the courtyard door opened, and Su Yang looked at Zhu Gaoxu with black lines on his head.
If possible, he really wanted to kick this foodie to death!
Su Yang glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed Monk Dao Yan, and his pupils suddenly shrank!
Monk, with triangular eyes, wearing black clothes...
Hiss...it can't be that demon monk in troubled times, right?
