"It is precisely because the late Emperor and His Majesty treated you with sincerity that you should be more optimistic about the Ming Dynasty for them and protect the 60 million people of Ming Dynasty under the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Chen Kan's slightly excited rhetorical question made Fang Xiaoru look startled.
Obviously he never thought that Chen Kan would come to persuade him like this.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Chen Kan unexpectedly said in a stronger tone: "Teacher, the late emperor and His Majesty are no longer here, but the people of Ming Dynasty are still here."
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Fang Xiaoru, who was still normal, suddenly changed his expression.
The words of refutation were blocked in his chest, and he pointed at Chen Kan and said: "You...you..."
After a while, his whole body seemed to have had his backbone suddenly taken away, and he collapsed to the ground.
Then he suddenly cried in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I can't help you, Your Majesty..."
"Um?"
Chen Kan was stunned. What kind of situation was this? Weren't you fine just now?
Cry as much as you want, it’s so difficult for me!
But as he said, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running away. Chen Kan immediately realized that Fang Xiaoru's psychological defense was about to collapse.
If you don’t strike while the iron is hot right now, wait until when.
Chen Kan raised his voice and shouted: "Teacher, you also know that King Yan has a violent personality and is headstrong, but you know better that King Yan is so powerful that it is inevitable to take over Yingtian."
"Yes, if you switch to King Yan, you will be sorry for the late emperor and His Majesty, but King Yan's situation has been achieved, and you know King Yan's character.
If the country of the Ming Dynasty becomes riddled with holes in his hands, you will not only fail to live up to the late emperor and His Majesty, but also to hundreds of millions of common people.
The Ming Dynasty is about to end, so what’s the use of upholding ethical principles? "
Chen Kan's words were a wake-up call for Fang Xiaoru.
He suddenly stood up, grabbed Chen Kan's collar, and pushed Chen Kan against the wall.
Wiping away his tears, he said angrily: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense, Ming Dynasty will not die, Ming Dynasty will not die!"
Chen Kan couldn't understand Fang Xiaoru's change in mentality at this time, but he knew that his words had an effect.
As the saying goes, it is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining brave men.
Chen Kan looked directly into Fang Xiaoru's wild-red eyes.
He shouted sternly: "Teacher, you always teach me that when studying, you should establish your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for life, inherit your unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
But when Your Majesty was in power, first there were rotten scholars like Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng who deceived Your Majesty about the cholera policy, and then there were idiots like Li Jinglong who misled the country and the people, ruining the country's military.
So much so that Your Majesty missed the opportunity to let King Yan succeed.
But today, the world has changed hands. Instead of leaving a useful person to protect the common people of the world, you are bent on death. Wouldn’t it go against what you teach me on a daily basis? "
"Stop talking, I asked you to stop talking."
Chen Kan kept stimulating Fang Xiaoru's sensitive nerves, so that Fang Xiaoru's hands became harder and harder.
Chen Kan only felt it was difficult to breathe.
But, is there any reason to do things halfway?
Moreover, Chen Kan felt that he was about to succeed.
"Hold on a little longer."
I kept telling myself this in my mind.
Chen Kan slowed down his voice and said: "Teacher, wake up, you will die if you die, and you can still gain a reputation for loyalty.
But the people of the world are about to fall into dire straits.
How many times do you think the people of Ming Dynasty can withstand it?
Just treat it as a student begging you, asking you to put aside your personal honor and disgrace and endure the humiliation for the people of Ming Dynasty.
Help the people of the world to keep an eye on King Yan, and for the late emperor and Your Majesty to keep an eye on King Yan and not let him mess around, okay? "
Fang Xiaoru's attitude changed again, and he begged softly: "Stop talking, I beg you, stop talking."
Chen Kan didn't seem to hear anything, but looked directly into his eyes sincerely: "As a student, I beg you for the sake of the people of the world, okay?"
Fang Xiaoru collapsed and said, "Stop talking."
"Ho...ho..."
Chen Kan's chest suddenly relaxed, but Fang Xiaoru fell to the ground again.
"Huh...ha."
Chen Kan took a few deep breaths.
Fang Xiaoru didn't know where she got the strength, but within a few words, Chen Kan's chest felt bruised and painful.
Without enough time to take into account the discomfort coming from his chest, he quickly squatted down to check Fang Xiaoru's condition.
After confirming that Fang Xiaoru had just fainted due to anger, Chen Kan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Squeak~"
"Pah... pah... pah, wonderful, really wonderful."
The cell door was opened again, and it was Zhu Gaoxu who left and returned.
At this time, he was standing at the door, applauding gently with both hands, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and saying words that he didn't know whether to praise or tease Chen Kan.
What was different from just now was that the personal guards accompanying him were all gone now.
There was only a tall monk wearing black robes accompanying him.
And this monk is half a head taller than Zhu Gaoxu.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was only one monk dressed like this.
The greatest contributor to Zhu Di's success in appeasement was Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.
Chen Kan ignored Zhu Gaoxu, but looked up and down at this great monk with extraordinary temperament.
The more Chen Kan looked at it, the more frightened he became. This Yao Guangxiao was just dressed as a monk, but the pressure he put on Chen Kan was actually half more than that of Zhu Gaoxu, who was fully armed.
Historical records record that Yao Guangxiao had triangular eyes, shaped like a sick tiger, and had a very different appearance. Chen Kan originally thought it was an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but now it seems that it is basically a realism, and even slightly restrained.
Seeing Chen Kan looking at him, Yao Guangxiao showed a kind smile on his face and nodded lightly towards Chen Kan.
And with just such a glance, Chen Kan felt as if he was being targeted by some wild beast.
The hairs all over his body stood up, and goosebumps instantly covered his skin.
"To be able to inspire a generation of learned sects who are full of knowledge to this extent, to be honest, Chen Kan, you make me a little impressed."
Zhu Gaoxu spoke again, and Chen Kan had no choice but to stand up reluctantly and cup his hands towards Zhu Gaoxu: "Chen Kan, a common man, has met His Highness the Prince of Gaoyang County and met... this master. I don't know what happened when Your Highness went back and came back?"
"Poor monk Daoyan."
Before Zhu Gaoxu could speak, Monk Dao Yan left him and walked into the cell alone.
After introducing himself, he smiled at Chen Kan and said: "Haha, Almsgiver Chen, you have a very unique view on the prince's attempt to appease the emperor."
"Uh... Master Dao Yan, I'm overly praised. I wonder what the master is here for?"
Chen Kan's mouth twitched and he thought, "What the hell, I just want to save my life."
How could a county prince and a future prime minister in black still listen to Qiang Gen? It was so unscrupulous.
Yao Guangxiao didn't know what Chen Kan was thinking.
Seeing Chen Kan's unfazed look, I thought this young man was a bit interesting.
Then he smiled and said: "Haha, I first arrived in Yingtian. I heard that my old friend was imprisoned. I originally came to visit my old friend, but now, it seems that I don't need to waste my time talking."
"Oh, that's it, haha."
Chen Kan chuckled dryly.
Facing such a wise and monstrous person, he was really under great pressure and couldn't find anything to say.
After all, Dao Yan is not Fang Xiaoru who a gentleman can bully.
He didn't dare to play tricks in front of Dao Yan.
So, he had no choice but to turn his attention to Zhu Gaoxu for help.
