"..."
Staring at Hui Ji silently, Pei Wende did not ask any more questions, but just looked at the other party without saying a word.
Even Xiao Qing, who was sitting on the beam, calmed down, but her slightly fluctuating eyes showed that her mood was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
"Well, after all, you will never die until you hit the wall."
With a silent sigh, Huiji finally chose to tell all the truth until this moment.
"That's all, no matter what your future holds, senior brother, I do have something to ask of you this time."
Hui Ji, whose expression was restrained and solemn, lowered her head and said in a sad but slightly melancholy tone.
"I believe, junior brother, you have also seen the evolution of the national destiny, and seen the 'hidden dragon' that is struggling to maintain itself!"
It was obviously a question sentence, but when Huiji said this sentence, she adopted an affirmative tone.
"Even if I use the 'Buddha of the Sacred Heart' to suppress the fate of the country, it will still be no better than Zhao Guizhen's awesome Luofu Taoist disk."
"The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is that the Tibetans are attacking from the northwest, the Uighurs are invading the border areas, and the barbarians in the south are invading. It can be said that we are besieged on all sides."
"Inside, the Yellow River burst its banks and flooded thousands of miles. There was a drought in Huainan, and everyone changed their sons for food. It can be said that natural disasters continued."
"Not to mention, in addition to natural disasters, there are also man-made disasters..."
"Whether it is the partisan strife between Niu and Li, the separatist rule of vassal towns, tax chaos, or the proliferation of private tea, they are all sources of trouble that can shake the country's foundation, and it is impossible to eliminate them all at once."
This was the first time Pei Wende listened to someone talk about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty so intuitively.
Just hearing about it was even more shocking than the victims he saw along the way.
In a sense, the reason why the Tang Dynasty has not completely collapsed today is purely due to the prestige and means of Li Yan, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty.
"It's more serious than I thought, but it's certainly not the most critical issue."
He couldn't help but interrupt Hui Ji's narration. Pei Wende knew his senior brother's character, and he would most likely have a solution to the problem that he raised so lightly.
"Indeed, although these natural and man-made disasters seem complicated, they are nothing more than internal and external."
“First make peace with the inside, then deal with the outside, and everything will fall into place naturally.”
"Inside, warehouses can be opened to provide disaster relief and save people from fire and water. Naturally, they can win over the people and pacify them."
"Outside, all kinds of chaos are caused by corruption. We send famous generals to guard the borders, restore military discipline, demonstrate benevolence and righteousness, and use force to expel those who cause chaos."
"When the situation stabilizes, remove the leaders of the civil service and military generals, install their own confidants to check and balance, and use the 'kill one to serve as a warning' to completely eliminate the scourge of Niu and Li's factional strife and official collusion."
"At that time, the law will take precedence and the people will be safe, and the world will return to peace."
Speaking word by word of his political ambitions for the next few years and even decades, Huiji's eyes were filled with brilliance at this moment, as if he had seen a "Buddha Kingdom on Earth" in his dream.
But when it came to the end, the luster in Hui Ji's eyes gradually faded away, replaced by unconcealable melancholy.
"It's a pity that in order to make Qiong Jun completely jump out of the chessboard, I used the 'green bag method' to cut off his dragon luck and destroy his earthly fate, so that I could hide it from those with evil intentions."
"Now, although Qiong Jun has the courage to bear the vision and expectations of the people in the world, he has no fate in the mortal world."
"For the current plan, someone needs to become a monk on his behalf and reunite the destiny of the country. Only then can I boldly give it a go and work with Qiong Jun to save this building from collapse."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In Hui Ji's subsequent description, Pei Wende finally figured out the ins and outs of the entire incident.
According to Huiji's initial thoughts, he wanted to use Pei Hui's power to gradually emerge on the political stage.
However, the plan did not change quickly. The appearance of Huang Chao, the demon of luck, completely disrupted Hui Ji's plan.
In order to subdue the locust demon and prevent it from causing a larger-scale locust plague, Hui Ji had to expose herself and go deep into Shence Camp alone to persuade the soldiers who were bewitched by the locust demon.
As a result, Huiji exposed her whereabouts before arriving in Chang'an.
Regardless of their motives, all the forces in the court began to win over or suppress Hui Ji, making it impossible for him to emerge as planned.
Fortunately, he discovered Monk Qiongjun at this time, and a new plan naturally appeared in his mind.
Since it is no longer possible to subtly strengthen one's influence as planned, why not simply show up in front of others and support a figure that one admires more?
So in order to prevent Qiong Jun from being strangled in the cradle before the plan succeeded, Hui Ji made preparations in advance.
Cut off his dragon destiny and destroy his earthly fate, making Qiongjun like a real monk without any worries.
And in order to make this operation more real, Huiji also gave Qiongjun's fate and dragon luck to Pei Hui, making her a "substitute" for Qiongjun to ward off disasters.
Of course, Huiji didn't expect that her operation could be hidden from Pei Hui.
But Pei Hui's destiny and dragon luck are indeed genuine, which makes her qualified to aspire to the position of "Empress".
If Huiji's original plan goes well, he will use the "method of transshipment" to change his destiny at the last moment.
But what Huiji never expected was that Pei Hui never thought about reaching the ninth-five position from the beginning to the end. She just simply wanted to use the "Emperor's Fate" to refine the Ascension Pill.
This also leads to the fact that although Li Yan has passed the throne to Qiong Jun, Qiong Jun has long lost the destiny to carry this national destiny.
Now, the only way to avoid this crisis is to find another qualified person to communicate with Qiong Jun.
But this "transporter" must first meet two prerequisites.
The first is that he has the qualifications to become a "great man" in his own right.
According to Huiji's observation, currently, apart from those born into the royal family, only "auspicious soul boys" like Pei Hui and Pei Wende have this qualification.
The second is that the "transferred person" will inherit Qiong Jun's current fortune - that is, becoming a monk.
If Pei Hui was still alive, Hui Ji would naturally be able to forcefully change their fates without any psychological barriers.
At worst, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were more concubines in the harem who "became nuns" like Wu Zetian, which would not affect the overall situation at all.
But now it is Pei Wende who is qualified to transfer with Qiongjun, which puts Huiji in a bit of a dilemma.
And this is why Huiji first asked Chihu to do psychological work for Xiaoqing, and then appeared in person to persuade Pei Wende.
——Become a monk on behalf of the prince and bring chaos to the world!
