Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Monk Yuande made this determination after going through inner struggle and hesitation.

After all, they are the Emperor and Prince Chun. Da Miaolian Temple is just a temple of the imperial court. It does not exist beyond the imperial court. It is just subordinate to the imperial court and has to obey the imperial court's orders.

If the imperial court wants to dissolve the Great Myoulian Temple, even if I am not the abbot of the Great Myoulian Temple, even if I am the abbot of the Great Myoulian Temple, I can only act according to orders and cannot violate the imperial edict of the imperial court.

Therefore, in order to protect the Great Miaolian Temple, he directly disobeyed the emperor or even fought against the emperor. This was treason and a capital crime.

What's more important is whether he puts the imperial court in a more important position or the Great Myoulian Temple in a more important position. Now it seems that he regards the Great Myolian Temple as more important than the imperial court.

This is also contrary to the behavior of eminent monks.

But in the end, it was decided that this was the case, and he could not just sit back and wait for death. After all, now that he had Fa Kong's help, he could act more securely, which might not necessarily prevent the emperor and King Chun from going crazy.

In his opinion, the two of them should not want to extend their lives. The precedent of the Yu Dynasty still exists, which shows that if an emperor reigns for too long, he will inevitably become corrupt.

This is not based on people's thoughts, but on nature.

As long as you are human, you will lose your vigor in your later years, become more conservative, worry more, and be more greedy for the past, thus losing the energy to change the status quo.

However, everything in the world is in motion and changing, and cannot be tolerated.

Once it remains unchanged, it means backwardness and decay.

This is true for people, and so is the court.

If a court does not seek change and innovation and constantly innovates, it will quickly decay. It does not even take a hundred years, but it will become decayed in just twenty or thirty years, and the people will not be able to live.

Even the wisest emperors often become mediocre in their old age.

It is inevitable for the emperor to be like this. If you live a long life, it will only plunge Dayong into turmoil in the future. It may eventually destabilize Dayong and bring disaster to the people of the world. If you know this but don't do anything, it will be your own fault. .

Fakong said: "Master, have you thought about how to tell Prince Ming?"

"I will make it clear to Prince Ming personally." Monk Yuande said solemnly.

He felt that this matter needed to be explained directly and clearly, rather than being secretive and making Prince Ming suspicious. The more sincere he was, the more he would be able to impress Prince Ming.

Fakong said: "Master, how do you think Prince Ming will react?"

"Whether it's for his own throne or for Dayong's country, he has to do something," Monk Yuande said, "I won't just sit back and watch it develop."

"But this requires enough courage." Fakong smiled and said: "This is a big risk. Prince Ming is now in Daqian. As a proton, the power he can mobilize is extremely limited. I am afraid he dare not do anything. Do it.”

"If you don't do something, you will never be able to become an emperor." Monk Yuande said: "Prince Ming is very eager for the throne, far more than the emperor."

He knew this very well. He had been in contact with Prince Ming. Even though Prince Ming concealed it very well, he could not escape his eyes and could clearly see what Prince Ming was thinking.

I can't wait to be the emperor, and I can't wait to ascend the throne tomorrow.

"But can he believe your words, master?" Fakong said: "You must know that if the master has ulterior motives and acts rashly, his entire destiny will be ruined."

Monk Yuande frowned.

It is difficult to be sure whether Prince Ming will believe his words, after all, these words are a bit unbelievable.

I am a believer in Master Fakong, so I am sure of it, and later he came up with this mental method, which further proves the authenticity of the matter, but what about Prince Ming?

Can Prince Ming's trust in him compare to his trust in Master Fakong?

After a moment, he shook his head: "It's hard to say."

Fakong said: "I'm afraid Prince Ming doesn't believe it."

"Master, is there any way?" Monk Yuande asked.

Fakong shook his head: "Even if I go there in person to persuade him, he may not believe it."

After all, this matter involves the entire fate. It is inevitable that the prince is not cautious and will not trust anyone easily.

This is the basic quality of being an emperor.

Monk Yuande frowned and pondered.

Fakong smiled and said: "But even though he doesn't believe it, he will still be suspicious, and then he will slowly investigate, and eventually he will be able to see some clues. After all, he is Prince Ming, not someone else."

To say that the person who knows Cao Jingyuan best is probably King Ming, besides Cao Jingchun, who knows his father better than his son. After all, King Ming has been trying to figure out Cao Jingyuan's thoughts. Over the years, he knows more than others, so he naturally understands Cao Jingyuan better.

So he could see Cao Jingyuan's inner thoughts through some of his subtle movements.

"Don't say that the emperor will go crazy, otherwise, he will never object," Fakong said: "Maybe he will just wait for the emperor to go crazy, and he will naturally succeed to the throne."

Monk Yuande said: "He probably doesn't want the emperor to go crazy. After all, he is in Daqian and may not be able to rush back in time. It is easy for him to get there first."

When the emperor goes crazy, if he is not in Dayong but in Daqian, the distant water cannot quench his thirst, and some princes may take the opportunity to seize the palace and ascend to the throne.

Immediately kill him after ascending the throne. Even if someone figures out the real successor afterwards, it will be too late.

Fakong said: "The key to this needs to be grasped by the master himself."

"...I will tell Prince Ming personally." Monk Yuande thought for a while and said solemnly.

We can’t give up because we are afraid of difficulties. We must act as soon as possible. We can’t think too much, otherwise we will fall behind step by step and defend step by step, and we will still be unable to escape the original fate in the end.

Fakong’s eyes suddenly became deep, and after a moment, he shook his head.

Monk Yuande said: "It’s useless after all?"

Fakong sighed: "Awesome."

"What should Prince Ming do?"

"Prince Ming didn’t make any move after hearing it," Fakong smiled: "He chose to wait for the opportunity instead of taking any action."

He shook his head and sighed: "This Prince Ming is two points more powerful than we thought, I admire him."

Prince Ming deeply understood one thing, that is, he was in Daqian and couldn’t move around, otherwise it would be easy to be taken advantage of by others, or even directly abandoned by Cao Jingyuan.

If he wanted to move, he had to return to Dayong. As long as he was in Daqian for one day, he would be obedient and never move rashly. It can be said that he was extremely sober, which was rare.

"In this case, can’t we start with Prince Ming?" Monk Yuande frowned.

Fakong smiled: "That may not be the case. Prince Ming dare not act rashly, which means he is wary of the emperor.... Master, why don't you find a way to replace Prince Ming?"

"This... Daqian can agree?" Monk Yuande was puzzled.

Fakong said: "I will tell the emperor to replace the hostage. Prince Yi needs to be replaced, and Prince Ming also needs to be replaced. I think there will be no problem."

"This is good!" Monk Yuande nodded solemnly.

If this is the case, there is no need to worry that Prince Ming will not take action. He will definitely not be able to help.

Fakong said: "But there is a problem. If Prince Ming returns to Dayong, Master will not be able to help him."

Monk Yuande looked at Fakong.

Fakong laughed: "I will deliver the message?"

"Thank you." Monk Yuande smiled.

"...Okay," Fakong said with a smile: "Then why not give it a try."
