"This is not a deal."
Zhu Yunzhen's answer was beyond Dao Yan's expectation.
"I came to see you today, and I don't want to threaten you."
He looked at Dao Yan with extremely clear and sincere eyes.
"Amitabha!"
Daoyan put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
Zhu Yunzhen said: "I am now the grandson of the emperor."
"But the foundation is still shallow. Officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee regard Gu as not his direct descendant, and have different views on Gu."
"I am still young, and I don't have the experience of leading an army like my fourth uncle, and I don't have an adopted son from a general in the army."
"The body has no roots, just like duckweed."
"The only thing I rely on is the emperor's favor."
Dao Yan smiled and said: "With Taisun's intelligence and His Majesty's strong support, it is easy to stand firm and control the situation of the court."
"Even if a poor monk wants to serve His Majesty the Grand Sun, he is afraid that he will not be able to do so."
Zhu Yunzhen smiled and said: "If Gu just wants to control the situation of the court, it will not be difficult."
"It has been twenty-five years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Now the world has been settled and the world is at peace."
"Why should we worry about just a few clowns playing scheming tricks in the court?"
"Grandpa Huang can start from a commoner and become the world's leader. Although his talent is not as good as Grandpa Huang's, but with this foundation, it is not impossible to hold on."
"We are prepared for danger in times of peace, and we will never allow anyone to threaten the stability of the Ming Dynasty."
"You are ambitious and capable. You are not a mediocre person. You have extraordinary talents. If you can't be used by Gu, then Gu will have to get rid of you."
Dao Yan didn't care about the murderous intention in his words. He still smiled slightly and said with a hint of confusion: "The poor monk had no reputation in the past. In terms of strategy, he was far inferior to the grandson. He was at a disadvantage in everything. They were all seen through. They could only hide in the Tianjie Temple and not come out, but they were even found by Taisun. If you think about it carefully, compared with His Highness Taisun, the poor monk is really stupid. Why did His Highness Taisun think that the poor monk had an immortal life? Where is your talent?"
Zhu Yunzhen turned back, looked outside, and said: "Look at the rain, it's pouring down. It falls everywhere. Only in this temple, there are eaves to protect it from the wind and rain, so it can be avoided."
"Everything in the world is planned, and only then can you build a house to protect yourself from wind and rain. If you don't build your house when it's sunny, you won't be able to take shelter when it rains."
"Held with a sharp blade, it can kill people but cannot shelter from the rain. These things have their own uses."
"You are controlled by loneliness everywhere. Because you are only a monk, even if you are assisting your fourth uncle, you will never be able to control yourself."
"If not, I wouldn't be able to fight you."
This is the truth.
Without the identity of the emperor's grandson and the grasp of historical opportunities, he would be inferior to Dao Yan in terms of wits and courage.
"Besides, victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Although you were at a disadvantage against me, you didn't make any big mistakes. Compared with the group of self-righteous fools in the court, you are still much better."
Daoyan chanted the Buddha's name again, but he didn't comment on it.
He thinks very highly of himself, is extremely proud, and does not bother to pretend to be modest.
He really admired Zhu Yunxuan very much.
But for Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others, Dao Yan still believed in his abilities, which were far above them.
Zhu Yunzhen suddenly changed the subject: "Grandpa Huang said that the way to employ people is not necessarily to use capable people, but also to use mediocre people."
"The country has been decided, and a good bow must be hidden."
"Most of the time, mediocre people are more useful than capable people."
"Master Daoyan, what do you think?"
call!
The strong wind blew open the palace door.
The raindrops then came in and spread all over the ground.
Fortunately, the Buddhist hall is very deep, and the wet area is only a large area in front of the door, so the wind has not hit them yet.
There was no one else in the hall at this time.
Daoyan stood up, walked to the door, braved the wind and rain, and struggled to close the door.
Then, he sat down again, turned the mind-turning motion in his hand again, and his eyes like a sick tiger suddenly shot out.
"It depends on whether His Highness Taisun wants to be a conservative king in the future, or a determined and enterprising king."
Zhu Yunxuan smiled slightly, as if asking for advice, but also seemed to be testing him, and said: "I also ask the master to teach me."
"If His Highness Taisun only wants to be a conservative king and inherit the traditions of the day, without reform or innovation. If military force does not expand the territory and promote the power of the Ming Dynasty, and literature does not create new standards and establish new words for all generations. Then Of course it’s better to use mediocre people!”
"Mediocre people follow the rules, but they don't make too many mistakes."
"The Ming Dynasty has been decided. Everything must be done according to the rules and the past. It is enough to have mediocre people in charge. Even if there are damages in the future, repairs will be done, and the country will have a good fortune for three hundred years."
“It’s hard to feel at ease when you reuse talented people.”
"It's hard to control a capable person. If you don't do something right, you will get burned. Why ask for trouble?"
Zhu Yunzhen took a deep look at Dao Yan.
He came from later generations and naturally knew the time when the Ming Dynasty fell.
But Dao Yan was a man of the time. He could say that the Ming Dynasty had a national destiny for three hundred years at this time. Although it was somewhat different from the actual situation, it was already an astonishing vision.
Being in such a different place, he asked himself that he couldn't make such a judgment.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Why only three hundred years?"
"Human beings are subject to birth, aging, sickness and death, and all things are born and must perish. How can there be an immortal dynasty in this world?"
Dao Yan said: "In the affairs of the world, those who are good at the beginning will be successful, and those who are weak at the end will be poor."
"Everyone has a lazy mind, and a dynasty always has accumulated diseases. Since preservation is the most important thing, and there is no change or encouragement of innovation, the ills will become more and more serious until it is difficult to recover and it will be destroyed. This is the natural principle. "
Zhu Yunwen asked with a smile: "What if Gu is unwilling to be just a conservative king in the future?"
Dao Yan was still turning the beads in his hand, and after a long time he said: "Since ancient times, those who have made changes and innovations and worked hard to govern have always faced rough roads and weathered the wind and rain. After going through countless hardships, they may not be able to be famous throughout the ages and immortal."
"People in the world are short-sighted and ungrateful. Any change will affect the interests of countless people, or become the target of thousands of people, and end without a cure. Some may overcome thorns and thorns, fortunately achieve a small success, but be surrounded and attacked by the people of the world. Right or wrong, right and wrong, will never change. The merits and demerits are up to anyone to comment. Do you really want to exhaust your efforts or just gain a lot of notoriety?"
Zhu Yunxu clapped his hands and laughed: "You are worthy of being called Daoyan, and you really live up to the name of the monster monk. To have this kind of knowledge is much better than those pedantic great scholars."
"Confucius said that it should be done, and Mencius said that it should be righteous. What I have to do is just a few words."
"If it is taken for granted, how can it be right or wrong? Why should we ask what is right and wrong behind us?"
His voice was magnanimous, powerful and firm.
Daoyan's hand turned the rosary beads and stopped.
He suddenly changed his posture, from sitting to kneeling, and bowed deeply to him.
"His Royal Highness Taisun is indeed an extraordinary person. At such a young age, he has such ambition and insight. A poor monk has been taught by him."
Zhu Yunzhen looked at him quietly.
After a while, Dao Yan asked: "After all, the poor monk belongs to King Yan. Kuang once conspired with King Yan to do evil things. Why doesn't His Highness care about it, but must he use the poor monk?"
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Since I am determined to change and innovate, and set an unprecedented precedent, I cannot hide a good bow and defeat a thousand-mile horse."
"If you and King Yan really want to rebel, Gu Yi is confident and can suppress it with a wave of his hand."
He stood up with his hands behind his back, his words showing extremely strong confidence.
Although he is young, his stature is short, and his voice is immature, he has the power to dominate mountains and rivers and look down upon the world.
boom!
Another bolt of lightning exploded.
The wind and rain outside were getting worse, and howling came into the hall.
Thousands of soldiers and horses, with golden arms and iron formations, are rolling in.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Zhu Yunxi's young figure really seemed to be bathed in Brahma light, as if a god had come to the world.
"I just want to ask you, are you willing to start this business with me?"
Crack crack crack.
Countless heavy raindrops were hitting the doors and windows outside.
The lightning flashed again.
"The poor monk was lucky enough to meet King Yan in front of him and received his favor. He should repay it with his life."
"But this poor monk has seen countless people in his life, and he has never seen anyone as evil as His Highness the Grand Sun."
"With Your Highness here, King Yan can only bow his head and submit to me. If you have any other intention, you will die."
"Since you are a minister, you have no two masters."
"Although this poor monk is unbearable, he is willing to be driven by His Highness."
…
I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve been in a bad state these past two days. It’s very difficult to write, and I feel like I can’t write well no matter how I write. I’m trying my best to adjust my state...
