Chapter 458
Chapter 458
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong was breathing.
After nearly a month of recuperation, his body is now in good condition, and he basically doesn't look like he was ever sick.
In many cases, Emperor Xianlong hoped to get advice from an expert, so that he could break through the bottleneck and achieve the goal of immortality.But now it seems that it is too difficult to do this.
Since it is impossible to ascend, it is also good to keep fit.
Every day you live counts as a day, and every day you live counts as a day.
As long as you can exercise in all directions, there is no problem in achieving the goal of strengthening your body.
"Your Majesty, Master Huiyan asks to see you."
At this moment, the little eunuch spoke beside Emperor Xianlong very cautiously.
"Well, I see. Announce."
Although Emperor Xianlong knew that it was extremely difficult to achieve ascension with his aptitude, he was still quite friendly to Master Huiyan, and the reason was very simple. Master Huiyan could bring him a lot of improvement in practice.
At least it can achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely realistic person.
In his opinion, anyone can get along with anyone who can bring him benefits.
Emperor Xianlong had already opened his eyes and adjusted his state.
Switch from a practitioner to an emperor who is not angry and arrogant in the world.
The adjustment of the whole state needs to be very fast and very skillful.
Even if it is just a detail, it cannot be allowed.
"call"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Emperor Xianlong's state has completely switched.
Soon, Master Huiyan entered the Nuan Pavilion, clasped his hands together and saluted Emperor Xianlong.
"The poor monk pays homage to His Majesty."
"The holy monk is flat, come and give the seat to the holy monk."
Emperor Xianlong was very polite to Master Huiyan.
No matter what Master Huiyan did, Emperor Xianlong would have an extremely kind attitude.
This is mainly because Master Huiyan has provided a lot of help to Emperor Xianlong in various aspects.Emperor Xianlong's courtesy to him was also a way of expressing goodwill.
In many cases, people can express their kindness in many ways.
But Emperor Xianlong's method is the most simple and straightforward, without muddle along.
Soon the eunuch brought Jindun behind Master Huiyan, and Master Huiyan lifted the hem of his robe and sat down without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk asked to see me today because I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh? Holy monk, please tell me."
He was quite polite to Master Huiyan Emperor Xianlong.
"The poor monk wants to build a pagoda to reach the sky in Chang'an City."
"The Tongtian Buddhist Pagoda?"
Emperor Xianlong obviously didn't know what to say about Master Huiyan's unreasonable thoughts.
"Why would a good holy monk build a pagoda to reach the sky in the city of Chang'an?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know that evil spirits are rampant near Chang'an City. Building a pagoda can deter evil spirits. It can also sense the will of the gods, which will help gather the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth and help Your Majesty ascend."
When he heard the latter sentence, Emperor Xianlong's eyes began to sharpen involuntarily.
He used to yearn so much to attain Taoism and become an immortal.Later, after learning that the ascension was extremely difficult, Emperor Xianlong had no choice but to give up.
He chose to give up because he knew he had no chance.But now Master Huiyan told him that there is still a chance, so can Emperor Xianlong choose not to try it?
If he knew there was an opportunity but didn't try it, Emperor Xianlong would be disgusted to death by himself, right?
Anyway, since Master Huiyan mentioned this, Emperor Xianlong felt that it was necessary for him to fight for one or two, and to try.
Anyway, what if it works?
"Well"
"Let me think about it carefully."
Emperor Xianlong indeed seemed a little troubled.
I have to say that Master Huiyan's proposal is quite tempting.
It was not difficult for Emperor Xianlong to build a pagoda in the city of Chang'an.It can be said that as long as he issued an imperial decree with a big wave of his hand, there would be people from the Ministry of Industry to take care of it for him.
But the difficulty of building a Tongtian pagoda is completely different from that of building an ordinary pagoda.
If you want to build a Tongtian pagoda, it takes a lot of resources and manpower.
And how can it be considered as the sky, and how high can it be considered as the sky?These are issues that need to be considered.
As long as there is one place that is not handled well, there will be many problems that will follow.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong simply got up, and began to pace in the Nuan Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Usually when he encounters a problem that is difficult to solve, he is used to doing this.
As long as there is a problem that is difficult to deal with, Emperor Xianlong will use this method to calm himself down, think slowly, and weigh the pros and cons clearly.
At this time, you must not be in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to get confused.
Emperor Xianlong's experience is too rich, so he can always find the best solution.
As long as the final solution is not too bad, it can be accepted.
At least so far, Emperor Xianlong has not encountered any unsolvable things that puzzle him.
"Holy Monk, how tall does the Tongtian Pagoda need to be?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, it must be at least five times the height of the Saint En Tower."
Master Huiyan replied quite peacefully, but when Emperor Xianlong heard this, he still gasped.
"hiss"
The Sheng'en Pagoda is also a Buddhist pagoda and is currently the tallest building in Chang'an City.
Therefore, it is actually quite normal for Master Huiyan to use the Saint-Enta as a comparison.
But the problem is, he needs to be five times as tall as soon as he opens his mouth. This requirement is very difficult for Emperor Xianlong to meet.
"Does the holy monk need to build such a tall pagoda?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that the name of this pagoda is Tongtian Pagoda. Its purpose is to communicate with God. In this case, it is natural for this pagoda to be built as high as possible. The poor monk said that at least This pagoda is five times as high as the Sheng'en Pagoda, which is the minimum height. It would be best if it could be higher. Or the higher the better, the taller the better."
Master Huiyan spoke very decisively, without any hesitation at all.
Obviously, he had thought about this passage for a long time.
After hearing this, Emperor Xianlong made a big disturbance.
If everything goes according to what Master Huiyan said, he will order to build an extremely tall pagoda.
So no matter from all aspects, this will have a huge impact.
Because first of all, to build such a tall pagoda, a large number of people need to be recruited to do corvee.
This is a big project, so it is definitely impossible to complete it within a year or so.It may even take longer.
So for Emperor Xianlong, if he really issued his will, he had to consider the attitude of the people in Chang'an City.
If it arouses the excitement of the public, if it arouses the anger of the people, it is no joke.
Although Emperor Xianlong held 10,000+ forbidden troops in his hands, he could suppress unarmed people at any time.But if a national rebellion really broke out, even Emperor Xianlong might not be able to suppress it.
Sometimes people's feelings are also very strange things, and it is difficult to feel clearly in all directions.
But for the current Emperor Xianlong, it still needs to be carefully considered and handled carefully.As long as it is not handled well in a certain position, it may lead to a series of problems in the future.
As long as some places are not done well, it may lead to changes in the entire empire and national destiny.
Emperor Xianlong has always been aware of this.It's just that sometimes it's hard to really grasp it clearly.
"How long will it take for this tower to be built?"
"That depends on how many people His Majesty can mobilize to build it. If you mobilize [-] people, it should be completed within a year."
"One hundred thousand people."
Emperor Xianlong was obviously taken aback when he heard this.One hundred thousand people is not a small number.Although Chang'an City has a population of more than one million, there are many old and weak women and children.In fact, there are not many laborers in the prime of life.These [-] civilian husbands are almost going to take out all the middle-aged laborers in Chang'an City.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong could not only draw strong labor from Chang'an City, but also draw labor from surrounding states and counties.But the problem is the project of 10 people. It is a big deal for these 10 people to eat and drink every day, and management is also a big problem.
It is true that these are issues that Emperor Xianlong does not need to worry about personally, but even if someone does worry about it, and someone takes care of it for him, if it is not perfect and meticulous, it will cause many big problems.
Emperor Xianlong was not a hypocritical person, but he knew very well what it meant if the details were not done properly.
Once there is a problem with the details, then a series of problems will appear.
"10 people is a bit too much."
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that 10 people can build the Tongtian Buddhist Pagoda at the fastest speed. If Your Majesty thinks that 10 people are too many, then of course the number can be reduced. But in this way, the construction The time for the pagoda will definitely be extended. The fewer people your majesty recruits, the longer it will take to build the pagoda. The poor monk once made some estimates. If your majesty decides to recruit [-] people, it will take about five It can only be built in a few years. Because this is not a simple proportional relationship, but involves many aspects. I hope His Majesty can think twice."
Master Huiyan's strategy has always been to point to the end.
He will present the facts and reason.He will present all kinds of possibilities, but he will never have a biased attitude, and he will never force you to make any judgments.
This is actually very clever.
Because Emperor Xianlong is used to being a superior person, he is a typical Shun donkey.
If you follow his will, it's easy to say.
But if it goes against his will, Emperor Xianlong may turn his back on him at any time.
Therefore, Master Huiyan expressed this attitude at this time, in fact, telling Emperor Xianlong of various possibilities.It was up to Emperor Xianlong to make his own decision.
In this way, after Emperor Xianlong made a decision, he could not rely on Master Huiyan. No matter what other attitudes Emperor Xianlong had in the future, Master Huiyan would not take the blame.
This is actually a very intelligent attitude, especially when facing a powerful king like Emperor Xianlong, this attitude is even more valuable.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong obviously had a difficult time making a decision.
In his opinion, this decision is too difficult to make.
Even a slight change in attitude can have a huge impact.
Emperor Xianlong felt that he could not make a perfect decision in a short time.
At this time, decision makers must not be too blind.
Because once the attitude is blind, the consequences can be fatal.
Emperor Xianlong knew all this very well.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong kept breathing to adjust his mood.
Emperor Xianlong usually used this method to adjust when he fell into confusion and became tense.
Facts have proved that even the supreme emperor in the world sometimes needs to constantly adjust his emotions.
Otherwise, it is very likely to be trapped by emotions.
Emperor Xianlong is not a hypocritical person, but as far as the current situation is concerned, if he wants to control everything perfectly and handle everything perfectly, he still needs to make a perfect decision, even if there is only one place The consequences of problems are unimaginable.
This is a huge project.
Emperor Xianlong certainly wouldn't just summon [-] civilians, as it would take five years to build.
This is not building a palace, even Emperor Xianlong felt that five years was a long time to build a palace.
This is nothing more than building a pagoda. Although this pagoda can reach the sky, Emperor Xianlong actually knew what it meant.
In fact, it is nothing more than a pagoda.
So in Emperor Xianlong's view, it didn't take so long.
A year is actually almost the same.
So if you want to build this pagoda properly within one year, then you need Emperor Xianlong to be able to provide [-] people.
In fact, after careful consideration and weighing, Emperor Xianlong felt that it was not impossible to recruit [-] civilian husbands at one time.
First of all, Chang'an City can recruit [-] to [-] civilian workers, and the remaining civilian workers will be recruited by those near Chang'an.
It might sound silly at first, but it's actually achievable.
After all, is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king is the subject of the king.
As long as Emperor Xianlong issued an imperial edict, there would basically be no problems with the government at all levels suppressing it layer by layer.
As long as the goal can be achieved, even if the process is a little tortuous, it won't be a big problem.
call.
Emperor Xianlong exhaled a foul breath to try to calm down his mood.
He knew that once this huge project started, there would be no reason to stop it.
Once the project has started, it must be continued no matter what.
In fact, as long as the project can be kept running, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles are encountered, there is no big problem.
As long as the project can be kept running, this crucial Tongtian Pagoda can be built in the end.
In many cases, people actually lose opportunities in constant hesitation.
Emperor Xianlong knew that he must not wait any longer at this time, and must not hesitate any longer.
If you wait blindly, it is very likely that this opportunity will be missed.
As the saying goes, when an opportunity cannot be lost, it never comes again.
If you really miss this opportunity, you can imagine how difficult it is to gather the opportunities together.
Moreover, Emperor Xianlong knew that if he hesitated, Master Huiyan would definitely feel very humiliated.
After all, Master Huiyan suggested and mentioned this matter on his own initiative.
Even if Emperor Xianlong didn't give face to anyone, he had to give Master Huiyan face.
After all, Emperor Xianlong still had to rely on Master Huiyan after all.
Not only from all aspects, the current Emperor Xianlong seems to be inseparable from Master Huiyan.
If Emperor Xianlong was estranged from Master Huiyan or even parted ways at this time, Emperor Xianlong would not know who else he could rely on.
Who else could he rely on?
Do you rely on Yuan Tiangang?
Not to mention whether this old magic stick is reliable or not.
Even if Yuan Tiangang is really reliable, can Emperor Xianlong make him work hard?
Maybe it's also two words.
Although this guy Yuan Tiangang looks like a fairy and aloof from the world, he actually has his own ideas.
If you can't come up with conditions that satisfy him, and you can't make Yuan Tiangang truly feel the sincerity, then Yuan Tiangang will not be easily tamed.
Although Yuan Tiangang is currently considered an official of the Great Zhou, his affiliation is not very strong.
If he wants to, he can resign at any time.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong felt that Yuan Tiangang would not come to this point either.
After all, for Yuan Tiangang, if he can fully attach himself to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to the prosperity and development of Taoism.If he left Da Zhou and left Da Zhou, it would actually be difficult to own these things again.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang will always consider more than himself.If he had only thought about himself, he might have been able to let go of everything long ago.But there is still Taoism to take into account, then everything will be different.
Emperor Xianlong thought that Yuan Tiangang was quite thoughtful, so at most Emperor Xianlong could only use him, but he couldn't really make Yuan Tiangang do things for him willingly.
Some things can be done at the end, but some things need continuous running-in to have good results.
In fact, what is the situation that Master Huiyan is facing now?
The reason why Master Huiyan came to Chang'an in the first place was actually because he wanted to use the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty to improve the development of Buddhism in the Western Regions in the Central Plains.
To put it bluntly, everything has a plan.
Emperor Xianlong was not worried that Master Huiyan had plans, on the contrary, what he was afraid of was that Master Huiyan had no plans.
If Master Huiyan really had no plans, then Emperor Xianlong would panic.
What people live for the rest of their lives is fame and fortune.
You have to have the same of these three, right?
You don't draw anything, could it be that you are a fairy in the sky?
Emperor Xianlong didn't believe that there were really saints who didn't want anything in this world.So instead of expressing this attitude of not trying to do anything, it is better to express what you want to achieve openly.
In this way, the two parties can sit down and have a good chat and negotiate.
It doesn't matter if it is really impossible to reach an agreement or cooperation.
But if you have always had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, then there is really nothing to talk about.
Emperor Xianlong hoped that they could reach an agreement quickly.
So far, Master Huiyan's performance can be regarded as quite good.
But that alone is not enough.
They still have a lot to do next.
If all these can be handled well, Emperor Xianlong believes that they can maintain a fairly good relationship for a long time in the future.
not enough
If you can't handle this relationship well, the next thing may be a little troublesome.
The relationship between Emperor Xianlong and Master Huiyan was somewhat complicated, far more complicated than the relationship with Yuan Tiangang or others.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong will be extra careful when dealing with it, for fear that there will be a problem with the handling at a certain point, which will lead to a series of problems.
Emperor Xianlong's biggest problem now is that he can't bear to toss about.
He must be extremely efficient to deal with the problem.Only in this way can he fully put everything on the right track.
"I think you can give it a try."
Emperor Xianlong said indifferently.
He did not directly agree, nor did he say what must be done, but said that he could give it a try.
This sentence is very subtle, showing the art of language.
A try means that it can be done, but it must be efficient.If the efficiency cannot be guaranteed, Emperor Xianlong can choose to withdraw at any time.
This is actually testing Master Huiyan's bottom line and seeing what kind of attitude Master Huiyan has towards this matter.
If Master Huiyan's attitude is very firm, then Emperor Xianlong actually has nothing to hesitate, and will definitely follow suit without hesitation.
But if Master Huiyan showed the slightest sign of loosening up, then Emperor Xianlong would probably choose to bargain.
As the so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back the money.
This kind of thing doesn't just happen in folk fairs, even in the royal family, it is a common thing.
It is impossible for you to make a price, but Emperor Xianlong agreed directly without even countering the price.
What kind of grievances must be able to do this.
Most of the time, being emotional is a terrible thing, and Emperor Xianlong naturally knew this.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong asked himself to remain absolutely calm during Master Huiyan's dialogues, games, and negotiations.
As long as he can maintain absolute calm, then there won't be too many problems in the future.
As long as he can maintain absolute composure, Master Huiyan should relax a little bit.
Not to let go at all.
At this moment, Master Huiyan did not intend to speak in a hurry, but kept staring at Emperor Xianlong quietly.
Emperor Xianlong was stared at more or less a little hairy, cleared his throat and said: "Has the holy monk figured it out?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the poor monk actually has a very good idea."
"Saint monk, please speak."
"Your Majesty, the poor monk thinks that the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda can actually be linked with His Majesty's sacrifice to the heavens. Hasn't Your Majesty used to worship the heavens in the Temple of Heaven? It's a pity that the Temple of Heaven is not very tall, and more often it only has a symbolic meaning. But If His Majesty builds this Tongtian Pagoda, the meaning will be completely different. Your Majesty can worship the heavens on this Tongtian Pagoda, and in that case, the effect of worshiping the heavens will definitely be much better than before."
"Well"
When Emperor Xianlong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.
Master Huiyan's jumping thinking is a bit too high, isn't it?
Emperor Xianlong didn't even react at all, and was taken away by Master Huiyan.
According to the routine Master Huiyan said, it is not impossible to worship the heavens on the Tongtian Pagoda, and perhaps it can really achieve good results.But the problem is that since then, Emperor Xianlong will face great resistance from the court.
In other words, the resistance encountered by Emperor Xianlong mainly came from within the court.
If this resistance can be eliminated, it will not be a big problem.
However, if these resistances cannot be dissipated, in fact, many problems will still be faced.
"call"
The ministers, especially those censors, will definitely try their best to persuade them, and even bring out those ancestral systems and ancestral etiquette.
Emperor Xianlong felt his scalp go numb just thinking about it.
But he has no good solution.
Because the emperor can't do whatever he wants.
More often, the emperor had to make compromises, and the emperor had to make concessions.
This is something that has to be experienced and something that has to be endured.
Perhaps Emperor Xianlong understood this from the very beginning, so he was able to occupy an advantageous position in the duel with the officials in the court.
But now, is he going to start a tit-for-tat confrontation with the officials in order to build a Tongtian pagoda and worship the heavens on it?
Emperor Xianlong didn't know, Emperor Xianlong didn't know how meaningful this was.
If it is really possible to interact with God, it is indeed worth a try.But is it really possible to do this?
If everything is just a gimmick, it doesn't actually have much practical significance.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely practical person, and he valued more practical interests.
If these practical interests cannot satisfy him, then he may have other completely different ideas.
"Holy Monk, is it really possible to communicate with God after the Tongtian Pagoda is built?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, of course. As long as the Tongtian Buddha Pagoda is built, Your Majesty will no longer have to point to any Qin Tianjian, and can communicate with God by himself."
Master Huiyan really understood Emperor Xianlong very well, and he directly pointed to Emperor Xianlong's pain in one sentence.
Although Emperor Xianlong was the son of heaven, he had to rely on the Qin Tianjian if he wanted to know the will of heaven.
And the supervisor of Qin Tianjian is none other than Yuan Tiangang.
This determines that when Emperor Xianlong wants to know some of the meaning of God, he can only rely on Yuan Tiangang's hand.
This caused Emperor Xianlong to have to look at Yuan Tiangang's face at some level.
But what is the identity of Emperor Xianlong?Emperor Xianlong was a majestic son of heaven.The dignified emperor looked at the face of a courtier, this is simply unheard of, never seen before.No matter what others think, anyway, Emperor Xianlong must be upset.
So for Emperor Xianlong, what he most wanted to do was to be able to communicate with God by himself, saving the role of Qin Tianjian.
That's why I said that what Master Huiyan said just now is very ingenious.
If Master Huiyan just said that after the Tongtian Pagoda is built, the Buddhism in the Western Regions can communicate with God on their behalf, Emperor Xianlong would definitely not be moved.Because in this way, Emperor Xianlong himself did not get any benefits.He still wants to use his hands on others, it is nothing more than this person has changed from Yuan Tiangang to Master Huiyan, and it is nothing more than a change from Taoism to Buddhism.
For Emperor Xianlong, there was actually no essential difference.
But if it is said that he communicates with God in person, the feeling will be completely different.
It is a matter of course for the Son of Heaven to communicate with God in person, no matter from which angle you look at it.
With this kind of communication mechanism, many times a person can completely let go.
It would be even better if this person is the Son of Heaven.
In fact, Emperor Xianlong always believed that he had the ability to communicate with God in person, but he was limited by various conditions and could not achieve it.
But now that he had the opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it.
Master Huiyan has already talked about this point. If Emperor Xianlong can't grasp it and can't control his emotions, it will be unreasonable anyway.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong exhaled a turbid breath to calm down his mood and said: "According to the opinion of the holy monk, apart from allowing me to worship the heavens at a closer distance and communicate with the gods, this pagoda can also be used for cultivation and ascension. What's the benefit?"
Now that we've talked about this, it's better to ask clearly once.
Master Huiyan mentioned before that the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda will be of great benefit to Emperor Xianlong's practice.
Emperor Xianlong was able to use this pagoda to continuously hone his practice skills, and even had the opportunity to directly ascend.
It has to be said that this was indeed a huge temptation for Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong is not a hypocritical person, but he is also very clear that if there is a chance to ascend, he must firmly grasp it, and must not let this opportunity slip away from his hands.
The truth is naturally quite simple.
Because once he ascends, he will be able to obtain eternal life.
At least from the records of the current classics, we can clearly see this kind of argument.
As for whether he can achieve immortality after ascension, no one knows yet.
But Emperor Xianlong thought it was worth a try.
If a person can gain eternal life, what difference does it make if he is an emperor or not?
What's more, even after Emperor Xianlong ascended to immortality, the succeeding emperor was still his son, or his descendant.His descendants can still rule the Great Zhou Empire, so isn't that equivalent to him still ruling the Great Zhou Empire?
This is simply equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
Emperor Xianlong became more and more excited.
"Of course, if Your Majesty can build the Tongtian Pagoda, it will be very helpful for His Majesty's ascension. If your Majesty encountered a bottleneck before, it is very likely that you will break through this bottleneck during the practice of the Tongtian Pagoda. Then Soaring into the sky, straight to the sky."
Master Huiyan's speaking skills are quite high.Every sentence can clearly speak to the point that Emperor Xianlong is most concerned about.In this way, Emperor Xianlong would not have any doubts and could deal with everything very calmly.
This point is quite critical, because Emperor Xianlong was a very suspicious person.
In fact, emperors are rarely suspicious.In other words, those emperors who were not suspicious basically could not escape the fate of death.
Therefore, those who can rule for a long time are very suspicious existences.
Emperor Xianlong was no exception.
This point has been clearly felt by Master Huiyan since the first day he came into contact with Emperor Xianlong.
Therefore, in the process of dealing with Emperor Xianlong, Master Huiyan paid great attention to skills, ensuring that he would not offend Emperor Xianlong, and ensure that he would not touch Emperor Xianlong's reverse scales.
Otherwise, just relying on Emperor Xianlong's attitude in certain aspects, Buddhism in the Western Regions could completely disappear in the Central Plains.
Master Huiyan knew when to say something, and when to say something that would make Emperor Xianlong happy.
So he makes Emperor Xianlong feel the ultimate pleasure every moment, makes Emperor Xianlong feel that he is the most honorable person in the world, and everyone, including Master Huiyan, revolves around him .
Once Emperor Xianlong had this feeling, he would naturally feel ecstatic and excited.
Once Emperor Xianlong started to get excited, everything would be easy to handle.
In many cases, the reason why one thing cannot be made simple is because the matter itself involves many interests.
But if you can put aside these interests, you will actually find that it is not such a difficult thing.
At least for now, Master Huiyan doesn't think this matter is so difficult.
Isn't he handling things quite well now?
Doesn't he make Emperor Xianlong very satisfied now?
In fact, the matter itself is very simple, the key is to look at the art of speaking.
If you can master the art of speaking well, it won't take long for everything to be done naturally.
Pay more attention to this when dealing with the emperor.
The emperor has been in a high position for a long time, and people have always praised him.
So when encountering some sharp-mouthed situations, the emperor will be very impatient.
It is very unnecessary to confront the emperor at this time, it will only make the situation worse and eventually go to the point of no return.
But at this time, if you can have a reasonable dialogue with the emperor, or even lower your posture a little bit, and follow him, maybe you will get a completely different result.
In many cases, the change of mood is at a very subtle node.
Therefore, it depends on experience to have a reasonable grasp more often.
So far, Master Huiyan has mastered it pretty well.Let's see how Emperor Xianlong will react.
Emperor Xianlong's current mood is of course very satisfied.
It can be said that everything Master Huiyan said touched his heart.
As long as everything can develop as Master Huiyan said, then Emperor Xianlong believes that he will really be able to attack Ascension in a short time.
Ascension is not that difficult, ascension is not that difficult.
The key is to have suitable external conditions.
Now Emperor Xianlong finally understood why it was so difficult for him to cultivate Ascension before.Because he has not established a good connection with God.
Being the Son of Heaven has many advantages, but failing to establish a good relationship with God will lead to a series of problems.
Emperor Xianlong understood this now, and he also regretted why he only understood it now.
If he had understood it from the very beginning, if he had understood it a long time ago, then maybe his current cultivation level would have advanced by leaps and bounds, and would have started to grow rapidly?
But in fact, it is not too late to understand now.
After all, at this moment, Master Huiyan provided him with a more suitable way, a more convenient way, and a faster way.
That is to build a pagoda to reach the sky.
Through this artificial method, a connection is established between oneself and God.
The process of establishing this connection may seem a bit long, but in Emperor Xianlong's view, it doesn't really matter much.
Because once established, it will maintain a very important role for a long period of time.
So even if it takes a long time to build this pagoda, it is worth it.
Of course, it would be best if you can spend the least amount of time building it.
For Emperor Xianlong, if he could spend the least amount of time building the pagoda, he would have more opportunities to practice in the future, and he would have more opportunities to challenge Ascension.
Ascension is certainly not an easy task, but it would be the best if there were more chances to try and trial and error.
With the opportunity of trial and error, many things became much easier, even if he faced one, two, three or five failures, Emperor Xianlong would not feel anything.
Emperor Xianlong was never a hypocritical person.So he will seize every opportunity as much as possible.
As long as everything is under control, Emperor Xianlong has nothing to fear.
Isn't building a pagoda to reach the sky a matter of grasping and controlling it?
"call"
After exhaling a foul breath, Emperor Xianlong's current attitude can be regarded as quite obvious.
He has accepted Master Huiyan's suggestion, and the next step is actually to discuss the details.
Because Master Huiyan proposed this proposal, Emperor Xianlong couldn't find any reason to refuse it.This plan is too perfect no matter from any point of view, even perfect and unreal.
Emperor Xianlong thought more than once about what he would get if he could really talk to God one day.
But now this thinking actually has a chance to become a reality.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong really felt extremely excited.
Talking to God is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.
But not only can he think, but he also has the opportunity to make it a reality.
So for Emperor Xianlong, this is really the most beautiful thing in the world.
Once he was able to ascend the Tongtian Stupa, once he was able to talk to God on the stupa, wouldn't he have mastered the way of heaven.Go to the fucking academy and get the heavens.
As long as he builds the Tongtian Pagoda, he is the person closest to God, and he is also the person who can grasp the way of heaven for granted.
Emperor Xianlong became more and more excited.
He felt an indescribable pleasure.
To some extent, Emperor Xianlong did grasp the core of the core.
If Master Huiyan can help him in the future, Emperor Xianlong will not be surprised even if he really ascends.
At that time, what will it be like when he arrives in the fairy world?At this moment, Emperor Xianlong inevitably began to look forward to it.
"Okay, I'm sure. Let's recruit [-] civilians to start building the Tongtian Pagoda. We must ensure that the Tongtian Pagoda is completed in the shortest possible time."

Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong was breathing.
After nearly a month of recuperation, his body is now in good condition, and he basically doesn't look like he was ever sick.
In many cases, Emperor Xianlong hoped to get advice from an expert, so that he could break through the bottleneck and achieve the goal of immortality.But now it seems that it is too difficult to do this.
Since it is impossible to ascend, it is also good to keep fit.
Every day you live counts as a day, and every day you live counts as a day.
As long as you can exercise in all directions, there is no problem in achieving the goal of strengthening your body.
"Your Majesty, Master Huiyan asks to see you."
At this moment, the little eunuch spoke beside Emperor Xianlong very cautiously.
"Well, I see. Announce."
Although Emperor Xianlong knew that it was extremely difficult to achieve ascension with his aptitude, he was still quite friendly to Master Huiyan, and the reason was very simple. Master Huiyan could bring him a lot of improvement in practice.
At least it can achieve the effect of strengthening the body.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely realistic person.
In his opinion, anyone can get along with anyone who can bring him benefits.
Emperor Xianlong had already opened his eyes and adjusted his state.
Switch from a practitioner to an emperor who is not angry and arrogant in the world.
The adjustment of the whole state needs to be very fast and very skillful.
Even if it is just a detail, it cannot be allowed.
"call"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air, Emperor Xianlong's state has completely switched.
Soon, Master Huiyan entered the Nuan Pavilion, clasped his hands together and saluted Emperor Xianlong.
"The poor monk pays homage to His Majesty."
"The holy monk is flat, come and give the seat to the holy monk."
Emperor Xianlong was very polite to Master Huiyan.
No matter what Master Huiyan did, Emperor Xianlong would have an extremely kind attitude.
This is mainly because Master Huiyan has provided a lot of help to Emperor Xianlong in various aspects.Emperor Xianlong's courtesy to him was also a way of expressing goodwill.
In many cases, people can express their kindness in many ways.
But Emperor Xianlong's method is the most simple and straightforward, without muddle along.
Soon the eunuch brought Jindun behind Master Huiyan, and Master Huiyan lifted the hem of his robe and sat down without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk asked to see me today because I have something important to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh? Holy monk, please tell me."
He was quite polite to Master Huiyan Emperor Xianlong.
"The poor monk wants to build a pagoda to reach the sky in Chang'an City."
"The Tongtian Buddhist Pagoda?"
Emperor Xianlong obviously didn't know what to say about Master Huiyan's unreasonable thoughts.
"Why would a good holy monk build a pagoda to reach the sky in the city of Chang'an?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know that evil spirits are rampant near Chang'an City. Building a pagoda can deter evil spirits. It can also sense the will of the gods, which will help gather the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth and help Your Majesty ascend."
When he heard the latter sentence, Emperor Xianlong's eyes began to sharpen involuntarily.
He used to yearn so much to attain Taoism and become an immortal.Later, after learning that the ascension was extremely difficult, Emperor Xianlong had no choice but to give up.
He chose to give up because he knew he had no chance.But now Master Huiyan told him that there is still a chance, so can Emperor Xianlong choose not to try it?
If he knew there was an opportunity but didn't try it, Emperor Xianlong would be disgusted to death by himself, right?
Anyway, since Master Huiyan mentioned this, Emperor Xianlong felt that it was necessary for him to fight for one or two, and to try.
Anyway, what if it works?
"Well"
"Let me think about it carefully."
Emperor Xianlong indeed seemed a little troubled.
I have to say that Master Huiyan's proposal is quite tempting.
It was not difficult for Emperor Xianlong to build a pagoda in the city of Chang'an.It can be said that as long as he issued an imperial decree with a big wave of his hand, there would be people from the Ministry of Industry to take care of it for him.
But the difficulty of building a Tongtian pagoda is completely different from that of building an ordinary pagoda.
If you want to build a Tongtian pagoda, it takes a lot of resources and manpower.
And how can it be considered as the sky, and how high can it be considered as the sky?These are issues that need to be considered.
As long as there is one place that is not handled well, there will be many problems that will follow.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong simply got up, and began to pace in the Nuan Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Usually when he encounters a problem that is difficult to solve, he is used to doing this.
As long as there is a problem that is difficult to deal with, Emperor Xianlong will use this method to calm himself down, think slowly, and weigh the pros and cons clearly.
At this time, you must not be in a hurry, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to get confused.
Emperor Xianlong's experience is too rich, so he can always find the best solution.
As long as the final solution is not too bad, it can be accepted.
At least so far, Emperor Xianlong has not encountered any unsolvable things that puzzle him.
"Holy Monk, how tall does the Tongtian Pagoda need to be?"
"Reporting to His Majesty, it must be at least five times the height of the Saint En Tower."
Master Huiyan replied quite peacefully, but when Emperor Xianlong heard this, he still gasped.
"hiss"
The Sheng'en Pagoda is also a Buddhist pagoda and is currently the tallest building in Chang'an City.
Therefore, it is actually quite normal for Master Huiyan to use the Saint-Enta as a comparison.
But the problem is, he needs to be five times as tall as soon as he opens his mouth. This requirement is very difficult for Emperor Xianlong to meet.
"Does the holy monk need to build such a tall pagoda?"
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that the name of this pagoda is Tongtian Pagoda. Its purpose is to communicate with God. In this case, it is natural for this pagoda to be built as high as possible. The poor monk said that at least This pagoda is five times as high as the Sheng'en Pagoda, which is the minimum height. It would be best if it could be higher. Or the higher the better, the taller the better."
Master Huiyan spoke very decisively, without any hesitation at all.
Obviously, he had thought about this passage for a long time.
After hearing this, Emperor Xianlong made a big disturbance.
If everything goes according to what Master Huiyan said, he will order to build an extremely tall pagoda.
So no matter from all aspects, this will have a huge impact.
Because first of all, to build such a tall pagoda, a large number of people need to be recruited to do corvee.
This is a big project, so it is definitely impossible to complete it within a year or so.It may even take longer.
So for Emperor Xianlong, if he really issued his will, he had to consider the attitude of the people in Chang'an City.
If it arouses the excitement of the public, if it arouses the anger of the people, it is no joke.
Although Emperor Xianlong held 10,000+ forbidden troops in his hands, he could suppress unarmed people at any time.But if a national rebellion really broke out, even Emperor Xianlong might not be able to suppress it.
Sometimes people's feelings are also very strange things, and it is difficult to feel clearly in all directions.
But for the current Emperor Xianlong, it still needs to be carefully considered and handled carefully.As long as it is not handled well in a certain position, it may lead to a series of problems in the future.
As long as some places are not done well, it may lead to changes in the entire empire and national destiny.
Emperor Xianlong has always been aware of this.It's just that sometimes it's hard to really grasp it clearly.
"How long will it take for this tower to be built?"
"That depends on how many people His Majesty can mobilize to build it. If you mobilize [-] people, it should be completed within a year."
"One hundred thousand people."
Emperor Xianlong was obviously taken aback when he heard this.One hundred thousand people is not a small number.Although Chang'an City has a population of more than one million, there are many old and weak women and children.In fact, there are not many laborers in the prime of life.These [-] civilian husbands are almost going to take out all the middle-aged laborers in Chang'an City.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong could not only draw strong labor from Chang'an City, but also draw labor from surrounding states and counties.But the problem is the project of 10 people. It is a big deal for these 10 people to eat and drink every day, and management is also a big problem.
It is true that these are issues that Emperor Xianlong does not need to worry about personally, but even if someone does worry about it, and someone takes care of it for him, if it is not perfect and meticulous, it will cause many big problems.
Emperor Xianlong was not a hypocritical person, but he knew very well what it meant if the details were not done properly.
Once there is a problem with the details, then a series of problems will appear.
"10 people is a bit too much."
"Your Majesty, the poor monk just said that 10 people can build the Tongtian Buddhist Pagoda at the fastest speed. If Your Majesty thinks that 10 people are too many, then of course the number can be reduced. But in this way, the construction The time for the pagoda will definitely be extended. The fewer people your majesty recruits, the longer it will take to build the pagoda. The poor monk once made some estimates. If your majesty decides to recruit [-] people, it will take about five It can only be built in a few years. Because this is not a simple proportional relationship, but involves many aspects. I hope His Majesty can think twice."
Master Huiyan's strategy has always been to point to the end.
He will present the facts and reason.He will present all kinds of possibilities, but he will never have a biased attitude, and he will never force you to make any judgments.
This is actually very clever.
Because Emperor Xianlong is used to being a superior person, he is a typical Shun donkey.
If you follow his will, it's easy to say.
But if it goes against his will, Emperor Xianlong may turn his back on him at any time.
Therefore, Master Huiyan expressed this attitude at this time, in fact, telling Emperor Xianlong of various possibilities.It was up to Emperor Xianlong to make his own decision.
In this way, after Emperor Xianlong made a decision, he could not rely on Master Huiyan. No matter what other attitudes Emperor Xianlong had in the future, Master Huiyan would not take the blame.
This is actually a very intelligent attitude, especially when facing a powerful king like Emperor Xianlong, this attitude is even more valuable.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong obviously had a difficult time making a decision.
In his opinion, this decision is too difficult to make.
Even a slight change in attitude can have a huge impact.
Emperor Xianlong felt that he could not make a perfect decision in a short time.
At this time, decision makers must not be too blind.
Because once the attitude is blind, the consequences can be fatal.
Emperor Xianlong knew all this very well.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong kept breathing to adjust his mood.
Emperor Xianlong usually used this method to adjust when he fell into confusion and became tense.
Facts have proved that even the supreme emperor in the world sometimes needs to constantly adjust his emotions.
Otherwise, it is very likely to be trapped by emotions.
Emperor Xianlong is not a hypocritical person, but as far as the current situation is concerned, if he wants to control everything perfectly and handle everything perfectly, he still needs to make a perfect decision, even if there is only one place The consequences of problems are unimaginable.
This is a huge project.
Emperor Xianlong certainly wouldn't just summon [-] civilians, as it would take five years to build.
This is not building a palace, even Emperor Xianlong felt that five years was a long time to build a palace.
This is nothing more than building a pagoda. Although this pagoda can reach the sky, Emperor Xianlong actually knew what it meant.
In fact, it is nothing more than a pagoda.
So in Emperor Xianlong's view, it didn't take so long.
A year is actually almost the same.
So if you want to build this pagoda properly within one year, then you need Emperor Xianlong to be able to provide [-] people.
In fact, after careful consideration and weighing, Emperor Xianlong felt that it was not impossible to recruit [-] civilian husbands at one time.
First of all, Chang'an City can recruit [-] to [-] civilian workers, and the remaining civilian workers will be recruited by those near Chang'an.
It might sound silly at first, but it's actually achievable.
After all, is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king is the subject of the king.
As long as Emperor Xianlong issued an imperial edict, there would basically be no problems with the government at all levels suppressing it layer by layer.
As long as the goal can be achieved, even if the process is a little tortuous, it won't be a big problem.
call.
Emperor Xianlong exhaled a foul breath to try to calm down his mood.
He knew that once this huge project started, there would be no reason to stop it.
Once the project has started, it must be continued no matter what.
In fact, as long as the project can be kept running, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles are encountered, there is no big problem.
As long as the project can be kept running, this crucial Tongtian Pagoda can be built in the end.
In many cases, people actually lose opportunities in constant hesitation.
Emperor Xianlong knew that he must not wait any longer at this time, and must not hesitate any longer.
If you wait blindly, it is very likely that this opportunity will be missed.
As the saying goes, when an opportunity cannot be lost, it never comes again.
If you really miss this opportunity, you can imagine how difficult it is to gather the opportunities together.
Moreover, Emperor Xianlong knew that if he hesitated, Master Huiyan would definitely feel very humiliated.
After all, Master Huiyan suggested and mentioned this matter on his own initiative.
Even if Emperor Xianlong didn't give face to anyone, he had to give Master Huiyan face.
After all, Emperor Xianlong still had to rely on Master Huiyan after all.
Not only from all aspects, the current Emperor Xianlong seems to be inseparable from Master Huiyan.
If Emperor Xianlong was estranged from Master Huiyan or even parted ways at this time, Emperor Xianlong would not know who else he could rely on.
Who else could he rely on?
Do you rely on Yuan Tiangang?
Not to mention whether this old magic stick is reliable or not.
Even if Yuan Tiangang is really reliable, can Emperor Xianlong make him work hard?
Maybe it's also two words.
Although this guy Yuan Tiangang looks like a fairy and aloof from the world, he actually has his own ideas.
If you can't come up with conditions that satisfy him, and you can't make Yuan Tiangang truly feel the sincerity, then Yuan Tiangang will not be easily tamed.
Although Yuan Tiangang is currently considered an official of the Great Zhou, his affiliation is not very strong.
If he wants to, he can resign at any time.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong felt that Yuan Tiangang would not come to this point either.
After all, for Yuan Tiangang, if he can fully attach himself to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be of great benefit to the prosperity and development of Taoism.If he left Da Zhou and left Da Zhou, it would actually be difficult to own these things again.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang will always consider more than himself.If he had only thought about himself, he might have been able to let go of everything long ago.But there is still Taoism to take into account, then everything will be different.
Emperor Xianlong thought that Yuan Tiangang was quite thoughtful, so at most Emperor Xianlong could only use him, but he couldn't really make Yuan Tiangang do things for him willingly.
Some things can be done at the end, but some things need continuous running-in to have good results.
In fact, what is the situation that Master Huiyan is facing now?
The reason why Master Huiyan came to Chang'an in the first place was actually because he wanted to use the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty to improve the development of Buddhism in the Western Regions in the Central Plains.
To put it bluntly, everything has a plan.
Emperor Xianlong was not worried that Master Huiyan had plans, on the contrary, what he was afraid of was that Master Huiyan had no plans.
If Master Huiyan really had no plans, then Emperor Xianlong would panic.
What people live for the rest of their lives is fame and fortune.
You have to have the same of these three, right?
You don't draw anything, could it be that you are a fairy in the sky?
Emperor Xianlong didn't believe that there were really saints who didn't want anything in this world.So instead of expressing this attitude of not trying to do anything, it is better to express what you want to achieve openly.
In this way, the two parties can sit down and have a good chat and negotiate.
It doesn't matter if it is really impossible to reach an agreement or cooperation.
But if you have always had an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, then there is really nothing to talk about.
Emperor Xianlong hoped that they could reach an agreement quickly.
So far, Master Huiyan's performance can be regarded as quite good.
But that alone is not enough.
They still have a lot to do next.
If all these can be handled well, Emperor Xianlong believes that they can maintain a fairly good relationship for a long time in the future.
not enough
If you can't handle this relationship well, the next thing may be a little troublesome.
The relationship between Emperor Xianlong and Master Huiyan was somewhat complicated, far more complicated than the relationship with Yuan Tiangang or others.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong will be extra careful when dealing with it, for fear that there will be a problem with the handling at a certain point, which will lead to a series of problems.
Emperor Xianlong's biggest problem now is that he can't bear to toss about.
He must be extremely efficient to deal with the problem.Only in this way can he fully put everything on the right track.
"I think you can give it a try."
Emperor Xianlong said indifferently.
He did not directly agree, nor did he say what must be done, but said that he could give it a try.
This sentence is very subtle, showing the art of language.
A try means that it can be done, but it must be efficient.If the efficiency cannot be guaranteed, Emperor Xianlong can choose to withdraw at any time.
This is actually testing Master Huiyan's bottom line and seeing what kind of attitude Master Huiyan has towards this matter.
If Master Huiyan's attitude is very firm, then Emperor Xianlong actually has nothing to hesitate, and will definitely follow suit without hesitation.
But if Master Huiyan showed the slightest sign of loosening up, then Emperor Xianlong would probably choose to bargain.
As the so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back the money.
This kind of thing doesn't just happen in folk fairs, even in the royal family, it is a common thing.
It is impossible for you to make a price, but Emperor Xianlong agreed directly without even countering the price.
What kind of grievances must be able to do this.
Most of the time, being emotional is a terrible thing, and Emperor Xianlong naturally knew this.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong asked himself to remain absolutely calm during Master Huiyan's dialogues, games, and negotiations.
As long as he can maintain absolute calm, then there won't be too many problems in the future.
As long as he can maintain absolute composure, Master Huiyan should relax a little bit.
Not to let go at all.
At this moment, Master Huiyan did not intend to speak in a hurry, but kept staring at Emperor Xianlong quietly.
Emperor Xianlong was stared at more or less a little hairy, cleared his throat and said: "Has the holy monk figured it out?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the poor monk actually has a very good idea."
"Saint monk, please speak."
"Your Majesty, the poor monk thinks that the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda can actually be linked with His Majesty's sacrifice to the heavens. Hasn't Your Majesty used to worship the heavens in the Temple of Heaven? It's a pity that the Temple of Heaven is not very tall, and more often it only has a symbolic meaning. But If His Majesty builds this Tongtian Pagoda, the meaning will be completely different. Your Majesty can worship the heavens on this Tongtian Pagoda, and in that case, the effect of worshiping the heavens will definitely be much better than before."
"Well"
When Emperor Xianlong heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.
Master Huiyan's jumping thinking is a bit too high, isn't it?
Emperor Xianlong didn't even react at all, and was taken away by Master Huiyan.
According to the routine Master Huiyan said, it is not impossible to worship the heavens on the Tongtian Pagoda, and perhaps it can really achieve good results.But the problem is that since then, Emperor Xianlong will face great resistance from the court.
In other words, the resistance encountered by Emperor Xianlong mainly came from within the court.
If this resistance can be eliminated, it will not be a big problem.
However, if these resistances cannot be dissipated, in fact, many problems will still be faced.
"call"
The ministers, especially those censors, will definitely try their best to persuade them, and even bring out those ancestral systems and ancestral etiquette.
Emperor Xianlong felt his scalp go numb just thinking about it.
But he has no good solution.
Because the emperor can't do whatever he wants.
More often, the emperor had to make compromises, and the emperor had to make concessions.
This is something that has to be experienced and something that has to be endured.
Perhaps Emperor Xianlong understood this from the very beginning, so he was able to occupy an advantageous position in the duel with the officials in the court.
But now, is he going to start a tit-for-tat confrontation with the officials in order to build a Tongtian pagoda and worship the heavens on it?
Emperor Xianlong didn't know, Emperor Xianlong didn't know how meaningful this was.
If it is really possible to interact with God, it is indeed worth a try.But is it really possible to do this?
If everything is just a gimmick, it doesn't actually have much practical significance.
Emperor Xianlong was an extremely practical person, and he valued more practical interests.
If these practical interests cannot satisfy him, then he may have other completely different ideas.
"Holy Monk, is it really possible to communicate with God after the Tongtian Pagoda is built?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, of course. As long as the Tongtian Buddha Pagoda is built, Your Majesty will no longer have to point to any Qin Tianjian, and can communicate with God by himself."
Master Huiyan really understood Emperor Xianlong very well, and he directly pointed to Emperor Xianlong's pain in one sentence.
Although Emperor Xianlong was the son of heaven, he had to rely on the Qin Tianjian if he wanted to know the will of heaven.
And the supervisor of Qin Tianjian is none other than Yuan Tiangang.
This determines that when Emperor Xianlong wants to know some of the meaning of God, he can only rely on Yuan Tiangang's hand.
This caused Emperor Xianlong to have to look at Yuan Tiangang's face at some level.
But what is the identity of Emperor Xianlong?Emperor Xianlong was a majestic son of heaven.The dignified emperor looked at the face of a courtier, this is simply unheard of, never seen before.No matter what others think, anyway, Emperor Xianlong must be upset.
So for Emperor Xianlong, what he most wanted to do was to be able to communicate with God by himself, saving the role of Qin Tianjian.
That's why I said that what Master Huiyan said just now is very ingenious.
If Master Huiyan just said that after the Tongtian Pagoda is built, the Buddhism in the Western Regions can communicate with God on their behalf, Emperor Xianlong would definitely not be moved.Because in this way, Emperor Xianlong himself did not get any benefits.He still wants to use his hands on others, it is nothing more than this person has changed from Yuan Tiangang to Master Huiyan, and it is nothing more than a change from Taoism to Buddhism.
For Emperor Xianlong, there was actually no essential difference.
But if it is said that he communicates with God in person, the feeling will be completely different.
It is a matter of course for the Son of Heaven to communicate with God in person, no matter from which angle you look at it.
With this kind of communication mechanism, many times a person can completely let go.
It would be even better if this person is the Son of Heaven.
In fact, Emperor Xianlong always believed that he had the ability to communicate with God in person, but he was limited by various conditions and could not achieve it.
But now that he had the opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it.
Master Huiyan has already talked about this point. If Emperor Xianlong can't grasp it and can't control his emotions, it will be unreasonable anyway.
"call"
Emperor Xianlong exhaled a turbid breath to calm down his mood and said: "According to the opinion of the holy monk, apart from allowing me to worship the heavens at a closer distance and communicate with the gods, this pagoda can also be used for cultivation and ascension. What's the benefit?"
Now that we've talked about this, it's better to ask clearly once.
Master Huiyan mentioned before that the construction of the Tongtian Pagoda will be of great benefit to Emperor Xianlong's practice.
Emperor Xianlong was able to use this pagoda to continuously hone his practice skills, and even had the opportunity to directly ascend.
It has to be said that this was indeed a huge temptation for Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong is not a hypocritical person, but he is also very clear that if there is a chance to ascend, he must firmly grasp it, and must not let this opportunity slip away from his hands.
The truth is naturally quite simple.
Because once he ascends, he will be able to obtain eternal life.
At least from the records of the current classics, we can clearly see this kind of argument.
As for whether he can achieve immortality after ascension, no one knows yet.
But Emperor Xianlong thought it was worth a try.
If a person can gain eternal life, what difference does it make if he is an emperor or not?
What's more, even after Emperor Xianlong ascended to immortality, the succeeding emperor was still his son, or his descendant.His descendants can still rule the Great Zhou Empire, so isn't that equivalent to him still ruling the Great Zhou Empire?
This is simply equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.
Emperor Xianlong became more and more excited.
"Of course, if Your Majesty can build the Tongtian Pagoda, it will be very helpful for His Majesty's ascension. If your Majesty encountered a bottleneck before, it is very likely that you will break through this bottleneck during the practice of the Tongtian Pagoda. Then Soaring into the sky, straight to the sky."
Master Huiyan's speaking skills are quite high.Every sentence can clearly speak to the point that Emperor Xianlong is most concerned about.In this way, Emperor Xianlong would not have any doubts and could deal with everything very calmly.
This point is quite critical, because Emperor Xianlong was a very suspicious person.
In fact, emperors are rarely suspicious.In other words, those emperors who were not suspicious basically could not escape the fate of death.
Therefore, those who can rule for a long time are very suspicious existences.
Emperor Xianlong was no exception.
This point has been clearly felt by Master Huiyan since the first day he came into contact with Emperor Xianlong.
Therefore, in the process of dealing with Emperor Xianlong, Master Huiyan paid great attention to skills, ensuring that he would not offend Emperor Xianlong, and ensure that he would not touch Emperor Xianlong's reverse scales.
Otherwise, just relying on Emperor Xianlong's attitude in certain aspects, Buddhism in the Western Regions could completely disappear in the Central Plains.
Master Huiyan knew when to say something, and when to say something that would make Emperor Xianlong happy.
So he makes Emperor Xianlong feel the ultimate pleasure every moment, makes Emperor Xianlong feel that he is the most honorable person in the world, and everyone, including Master Huiyan, revolves around him .
Once Emperor Xianlong had this feeling, he would naturally feel ecstatic and excited.
Once Emperor Xianlong started to get excited, everything would be easy to handle.
In many cases, the reason why one thing cannot be made simple is because the matter itself involves many interests.
But if you can put aside these interests, you will actually find that it is not such a difficult thing.
At least for now, Master Huiyan doesn't think this matter is so difficult.
Isn't he handling things quite well now?
Doesn't he make Emperor Xianlong very satisfied now?
In fact, the matter itself is very simple, the key is to look at the art of speaking.
If you can master the art of speaking well, it won't take long for everything to be done naturally.
Pay more attention to this when dealing with the emperor.
The emperor has been in a high position for a long time, and people have always praised him.
So when encountering some sharp-mouthed situations, the emperor will be very impatient.
It is very unnecessary to confront the emperor at this time, it will only make the situation worse and eventually go to the point of no return.
But at this time, if you can have a reasonable dialogue with the emperor, or even lower your posture a little bit, and follow him, maybe you will get a completely different result.
In many cases, the change of mood is at a very subtle node.
Therefore, it depends on experience to have a reasonable grasp more often.
So far, Master Huiyan has mastered it pretty well.Let's see how Emperor Xianlong will react.
Emperor Xianlong's current mood is of course very satisfied.
It can be said that everything Master Huiyan said touched his heart.
As long as everything can develop as Master Huiyan said, then Emperor Xianlong believes that he will really be able to attack Ascension in a short time.
Ascension is not that difficult, ascension is not that difficult.
The key is to have suitable external conditions.
Now Emperor Xianlong finally understood why it was so difficult for him to cultivate Ascension before.Because he has not established a good connection with God.
Being the Son of Heaven has many advantages, but failing to establish a good relationship with God will lead to a series of problems.
Emperor Xianlong understood this now, and he also regretted why he only understood it now.
If he had understood it from the very beginning, if he had understood it a long time ago, then maybe his current cultivation level would have advanced by leaps and bounds, and would have started to grow rapidly?
But in fact, it is not too late to understand now.
After all, at this moment, Master Huiyan provided him with a more suitable way, a more convenient way, and a faster way.
That is to build a pagoda to reach the sky.
Through this artificial method, a connection is established between oneself and God.
The process of establishing this connection may seem a bit long, but in Emperor Xianlong's view, it doesn't really matter much.
Because once established, it will maintain a very important role for a long period of time.
So even if it takes a long time to build this pagoda, it is worth it.
Of course, it would be best if you can spend the least amount of time building it.
For Emperor Xianlong, if he could spend the least amount of time building the pagoda, he would have more opportunities to practice in the future, and he would have more opportunities to challenge Ascension.
Ascension is certainly not an easy task, but it would be the best if there were more chances to try and trial and error.
With the opportunity of trial and error, many things became much easier, even if he faced one, two, three or five failures, Emperor Xianlong would not feel anything.
Emperor Xianlong was never a hypocritical person.So he will seize every opportunity as much as possible.
As long as everything is under control, Emperor Xianlong has nothing to fear.
Isn't building a pagoda to reach the sky a matter of grasping and controlling it?
"call"
After exhaling a foul breath, Emperor Xianlong's current attitude can be regarded as quite obvious.
He has accepted Master Huiyan's suggestion, and the next step is actually to discuss the details.
Because Master Huiyan proposed this proposal, Emperor Xianlong couldn't find any reason to refuse it.This plan is too perfect no matter from any point of view, even perfect and unreal.
Emperor Xianlong thought more than once about what he would get if he could really talk to God one day.
But now this thinking actually has a chance to become a reality.
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong really felt extremely excited.
Talking to God is something that ordinary people dare not even think about.
But not only can he think, but he also has the opportunity to make it a reality.
So for Emperor Xianlong, this is really the most beautiful thing in the world.
Once he was able to ascend the Tongtian Stupa, once he was able to talk to God on the stupa, wouldn't he have mastered the way of heaven.Go to the fucking academy and get the heavens.
As long as he builds the Tongtian Pagoda, he is the person closest to God, and he is also the person who can grasp the way of heaven for granted.
Emperor Xianlong became more and more excited.
He felt an indescribable pleasure.
To some extent, Emperor Xianlong did grasp the core of the core.
If Master Huiyan can help him in the future, Emperor Xianlong will not be surprised even if he really ascends.
At that time, what will it be like when he arrives in the fairy world?At this moment, Emperor Xianlong inevitably began to look forward to it.
