Qin Tianjian.
Yuan Tiangang frowned and said nothing.
Li Chunfeng, who was waiting on the side, did not dare to say anything and could only wait respectfully by his mentor's side.
In this way, no matter what instructions his mentor gave him next, he would be able to hear and respond immediately.
This point is still quite critical.
Because my mentor’s personality was one of open-minded and fiery.
He won't have too much time to think, and everything will follow his instincts.
This has extremely strict requirements for Li Chunfeng.
Because once he fails to respond to his mentor in time, his mentor may become furious.
Li Chunfeng didn't see his mentor angry many times, but whenever his mentor got angry, it would be like a violent storm.
After Li Chunfeng experienced it several times, he naturally didn't want to have a similar feeling again.
"Disciple, do you know that the situation between North Korea and China has been very uneven recently?"
After a long silence, Yuan Tiangang finally spoke.
Li Chunfeng's hanging heart was finally able to let go.
After exhaling a long breath, Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "I have never cared much about the affairs of the court, but I have heard a little bit about the disputes between the prince and the kings. These are all old-fashioned things. Well, as long as the struggle for the throne was involved in the past dynasties, which time was it not bloody?"
There is actually nothing wrong with what Li Chunfeng said. Because that's the truth.
When faced with an absolute battle for the throne, no one would have any reservations.
As a prince, he is infinitely close to that chair, and anyone will be moved by it.
But that chair is destined to only have one, so it will definitely lead to tragic fights between brothers again and again.
This is actually nothing unusual in itself, but it is different when it involves your own interests.
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment and then said: "The emperor today is very scheming, and the emperor's mental skills are used to the best. As long as there is an opportunity, he will definitely try his best to promote disputes among the princes. In this way, he can Maximize control of power and secure the throne."
Li Chunfeng said with disdain: "Teacher, Emperor Xianlong is too narrow-minded. After all, these are his sons, why should he be so guarded against his sons?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed when he heard this: "There is no family affection in the Tian family. Even if it is a son, so what. In fact, the son is the person that Emperor Xianlong needs to guard against most. Because they have royal blood, they also have the means to inherit the throne. Rationality. So they are actually the biggest threat to Emperor Xianlong."
After hearing this, Li Chunfeng nodded in understanding.
"So what my mentor is saying is that the current dispute among the kings was caused by Emperor Xianlong?"
"Exactly."
At this time, Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Actually, I have been an official in the government for so many years, and I have some understanding of the temperament of today's emperor. From my teacher's point of view, today's emperor is indeed a person who likes to play with power. As long as there is a chance, No matter what the occasion, he will definitely use his power to the extreme. This is actually nothing, but given the current situation, it is actually very dangerous."
"My mentor refers to external threats. After all, the Corruptors and the Shadow Clan are eyeing us. This threat must be eliminated."
"Yes, but how easy is it to get rid of these threats? Dear disciple, do you know that even the mountain chief is currently adopting a wait-and-see attitude."
When Yuan Tiangang said this, the sadness on his face returned again, and the wrinkles on his forehead were clearly visible.
"Mountain Chief? Isn't there anything the Mountain Chief can do against them?"
Li Chunfeng asked in surprise.
"It's not that the Mountain Chief has nothing to do with them, but the Mountain Chief is not sure whether the God of Darkness will come. If the God of Darkness does not come, just relying on the stinky fish and rotten shrimps of the Shadow Clan and the Corruptors will not be able to do anything. It’s not tall enough to take a look at it.”
Yuan Tiangang saw the problem fairly clearly and hit the point right away.
"If you say so, then it is indeed more troublesome. Because no one knows whether the God of Darkness will come until the last moment."
Li Chunfeng looked a little depressed after understanding what his mentor meant.
The mountain leader is the most powerful person in the world. If even the mountain chief adopts a wait-and-see attitude, then things will really get a little tricky.
When a group of people get into trouble, they actually need a leader to lead them out.
Now if the mountain chief cannot shoulder this responsibility, then who else can?
This is indeed a big problem.
"However, things are not that pessimistic. In my opinion, the mountain chief will actually take action in the end. It is nothing more than a matter of time. Because this not only involves the people of the world, but also involves the mountain chief's sense of honor. .”
Yuan Tiangang paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the reason. How long has it been since Shan Zhang became the number one person in the world? It has been almost twenty years. In the past twenty years, The Mountain Chief has defeated all the invincible opponents in the world, and he is completely invincible. How lonely it is to be invincible... If the Mountain Chief is suddenly overpowered by the God of Darkness, where will he put his face?"
Yuan Tiangang's words can be said to have been analyzed to the core.
In his opinion, the mountain chief will definitely take action, it is nothing more than a matter of timing.
The mountain leader may be waiting for a more reliable time.
In this way, his actions will not appear too abrupt, and the final effect will be perfect.
That being the case, why not do it?
In fact, Shan Chang is a very smart person.
Smart people will choose the time that is most beneficial to them.
As long as the mountain chief can ensure that no big mistakes occur, then no matter what difficulties we encounter, it can actually be handled well.
Yuan Tiangang is still very convinced of this.
In fact, ever since he started thinking about forming an alliance with the Academy, he has been thinking about the Chief's wishes.
If the Dao Sect and the Academy join forces, then no one in this world can really threaten them.
Yuan Tiangang can't just think about himself, he also needs to think about the Taoist sect as much as possible.
Only by keeping the Taoist sect standing can he live up to his status as a Taoist sect's heavenly master.
As the leader, Yuan Tiangang should shoulder his responsibilities.
If he cannot even bear this responsibility, then he is indeed not worthy of being the leader of this Taoist sect.
The current situation is actually quite favorable for Daomen.
If there is any danger, there must be some.
But opportunities also exist.
So Yuan Tiangang dared to give it a try.
As long as he can seize the right opportunity, no matter what kind of crisis he faces, he can hope to succeed.
"My teacher has actually been thinking about what kind of existence the God of Darkness is. Can he really turn into a human form?"
Yuan Tiangang's thinking has always been very clear, but he is a little unsure on this matter.
If the God of Darkness is really a so-called collection of thoughts, then it is doubtful whether he can transform into a human form.
Not everyone can guess this.
The main reason why Yuan Tiangang can do this is because he is the leader of the Taoist sect.
The power of Taoism is that it can predict the future.
When Yuan Tiangang could get a glimpse of the way of heaven, he could see what was about to happen in the future.
For him, this is indeed a very good choice.
However, spying on the way of heaven is also an extremely dangerous thing. If you don't do it well, you will be punished by heaven or suffer backlash.
So every time Yuan Tiangang does this, he is very careful.
He must use this unique stunt only to ensure that it is absolutely foolproof.
"Teacher, why should we worry about this? Whether this god of darkness can be transformed into a human form or not, it is actually not very important. If he is willing to come, we will just be ready to fight. After all, this is not the dark world; The Great Zhou World is our home court. We have the home court advantage. If that’s the case, what else do we have to be afraid of?”
Li Chunfeng's attitude towards this matter has always been very optimistic.
As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
Li Chunfeng really didn't have any sense of fear.
"Hey, I don't want this to be the case as a teacher. But sometimes there are some things that are beyond our scope of knowledge. In the world of Dazhou, the Taoist sect and the academy jointly are indeed unrivaled. But what is the strength of the people in the dark world? , it’s really unknown.”
Yuan Tiangang has been constantly trying to calm down.
Because only by staying calm can we take some initiative in responding.
At present, their situation cannot be regarded as passive, but it cannot be said to be very favorable.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang must control his rhythm as much as possible.
"Teacher, if the God of Darkness really chooses to come, the mountain chief will probably choose to face its edge, right?"
When Li Chunfeng said this, he was still slightly looking forward to it.
"It should be possible."
Yuan Tiangang gently stroked his beard and said leisurely: "If necessary, I will choose to take action. In this way, I can also help the mountain. If this battle really breaks out, then But it’s not just the affairs of the academy, the Taoist sect must also be involved. As the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. We, the Taoist sect, must not be able to sit idly by on this matter."
Now that Yuan Tiangang has made a decision, he will never change it easily.
"Yes, my disciple has remembered it."
At this moment, Li Chunfeng paused and said: "Whenever there is a need for my disciple, my disciple will definitely take action without any hesitation."
"Forget it, it's not the time to fight to the death yet. Since the mountain leader is waiting and watching, let's wait and watch for now. When it's time to take action, my teacher will tell you."
After a pause, Yuan Tiangang changed the subject and said: "The fight for the throne will be very troublesome. Our Taoist sect cannot control it, and it is inappropriate to ignore it. This is really helpless."
At this point in time, Yuan Tiangang's attitude is indeed difficult to control.
After all, it would not be appropriate for him to support the prince or the other kings.
But if Yuan Tiangang remains neutral, he will inevitably be attracted by the kings.
"Teacher, you can ignore them. When it comes to disputes over secular power, we can just turn a blind eye."
In fact, Li Chunfeng never wanted to pay attention to these royal affairs.
In his opinion, no matter which prince finally ascends to the throne, he will be half-assed.
Can it be worse than Emperor Xianlong?
It's not much better if it's good.
Because in this world, it is the butt that determines the head.
Sitting in that position, all he could think about was how to maintain a stable rule.
But for Taoism, there are actually not that many demands in this regard.
"It's easier said than done. It's really not an easy thing to maintain complete neutrality."
Yuan Tiangang sighed, looking extremely helpless.
If you weren't in his position, you wouldn't be able to understand his difficulties at all.
As the Grand Master of the Zhou Dynasty and the leader of the Taoist sect, Yuan Tiangang is destined to be the target of countless people vying to win over him.
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang himself needs to adjust his mentality.
He had to make sure that he would not be disturbed too much, otherwise he might have a complete emotional breakdown.
fo
Although he is a leader in Taoism, he will still face emotional fluctuations.
As long as a human being eats whole grains, it is impossible to transcend the mundane world.
On the other hand, the so-called immortals in the immortal world may be able to ignore mundane things.
Yuan Tiangang actually had the opportunity to go to heaven to have a look.
But he passed up the opportunity.
Because ascending involves taking certain risks.
If everything goes well, you can naturally attain enlightenment and become an immortal.
But if you fail, you may be struck by thunder and thunder from the sky, and eventually your soul will be driven away.
This is something Yuan Tiangang cannot accept no matter what.
Yuan Tiangang's character has always been stable.
As long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely strive for progress.
When Yuan Tiangang can guarantee that there will be no obvious mistakes, he will pursue higher difficulty.
Yuan Tiangang didn't want to try something as high-risk as attaining enlightenment and ascension.
"call..."
After exhaling a breath, Yuan Tiangang walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and sighed helplessly: "It's a troubled time indeed. No one can stay completely aloof from such a situation. We can only take one step at a time and see one step at a time. ”
In fact, Yuan Tiangang's concerns are not unreasonable.
Under the current situation, even the academy cannot completely guarantee that it will not be affected.
It is really embarrassing for Dao Sect to be sandwiched between the imperial court and Jianghu.
If Yuan Tiangang has even the slightest problem in handling the details, it will lead Daomen into a situation of no return.
This is something Yuan Tiangang cannot accept.
So he would rather choose to be cautious, so that at least it won't collapse all at once.
For the Taoist sect, Yuan Tiangang tried his best. He just hopes to have a relatively good result.
