Chapter 1123: Who Knows
"If you don't agree, you can't help it!"
The little fat man smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
"Hai Wufeng can't help it, right? Could it be that we really go to rob the prison? You also heard my grandfather's words yesterday, even he can't do anything, except to negotiate with the old emperor about the conditions, do you think I have any other choice?"
Recalling Mu Fangli, who came yesterday, several people were silent.
Knowing that Li Chuyi was in trouble, Old Man Mu killed him as soon as possible, and after several inspections, he confirmed that Li Chuyi was really fine, so he was relieved.
But the old man's anger did not disappear, he rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go to the Yanling Emperor to theorize, just at this time the holy decree came, Li Chuyi was fine, but the tragic death of the Nine Emperor Princes was convicted of a serious crime, and the glory was gone, not to mention, even the corpse capital was the old emperor's "reciting the past family affection" to be buried according to the royal rites, Li Chuyi didn't say a few, Mu Fangli was even more sneered, so that the eunuch who passed the decree had a very strange face, and he didn't know what expression to make.
Knowing that the king of Zhenxi was busy raiding the house and had no time to come, Mu Fangli suddenly wanted to go over and intervene for his grandson to "suppress the surprise gift", and heard the eunuch say that the king of Zhenxi would come to the door in person afterwards to send it off, and when he left, the eunuch's face was about to cramp, and his steps were hurried and he couldn't wait to fly away from him immediately.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chuyi retouched the matter of Hai Wufeng and said to Mu Fangli. As expected, Old Man Mu was really embarrassed, although he didn't refuse, his eyes already said everything.
He also popularized the old things of Dayan to Li Chuyi, Mu Fangli euphemistically expressed his powerlessness, and at the end he also told Li Chuyi not to interfere, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble.
Mu Fangli's attitude Li Chuyi actually understands it, at the beginning, King Jinsheng was powerful, and even the Mu family was a little ignorant, and the Hai family was even more fierce on the head of the Nalan family under the command of the Mu family, and several times did not give or even humiliated the face of the Nalan family in public, which was equivalent to slapping the Mu family's face in a different direction, and it was strange that Mu Fangli, who was the head of the family at the time, could be angry.
Hai Wufeng is familiar with Li Chuyi, which cannot be a reason for Mu Fangli to help. Especially when he learned that Li Chuyi was trying to save people for Yu Yao, he shook his head a hundred times.
At the same time, he also vaguely pointed out the same doubts as Emperor Yanling, for fear that Hai Wufeng was really King Jinsheng's evil seed, and if he repeatedly aroused the remnants of King Jinsheng's unpurified misdeeds, then Dayan would not be peaceful.
In his words, this is a major matter of the country, not to mention that Li Chuyi is just a prince, even if he is a prince or even an emperor, this matter must not be connived at, and he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
rejected Mu Dong's invitation to stay, and after Mu Fangli took people away, Li Chuyi suddenly sat on the chair and felt that one head was two big.
He hadn't seen King Jinsheng, but from the attitudes of these people, he could feel how deep the shadow left by King Jinsheng was, and all of this was now all pressed on Hai Wufeng, and an insignificant remnant of the Hai family became the target of everyone, and almost everyone wanted him to die.
If it weren't for Yu Yao, Li Chuyi really didn't want to care about this. Hai Wufeng is an old acquaintance with him, but the friendship is not deep enough to that extent, he will die when he dies, at most he will give him two sticks of incense during the New Year's festival in the future, and he can't make him endure the grievances and be helpless to do the exchange.
Originally, he hoped that Emperor Yanling would cure him of some crimes, so that he would have a reason to refuse Yuwen Taihao's proposal. But now it's good, first the eunuch passed the decree, and today Yuwen Taihao personally came to the door to convey the Yanling Emperor's intentions, Li Chuyi really wanted to refuse, but imagining Yu Yao, he could only swallow the words back, nodded and agreed.
As for how it works, he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being. Yuwen Taehao promised to mediate between him, so that he could stay and choose an auspicious day to prepare to enter the palace to face the saint. This day can't be too close, so as not to seem to be in a hurry, and the specific Yuwen Taehao will consider it in the middle and communicate with him when the time is right.
In this regard, Li Chuyi also expressed his understanding. Emperor Yanling guessed their thoughts, although he didn't guess most of them, it was one thing to avoid being anxious, and more importantly, Yuwen Taihao wanted to get rid of the relationship as much as possible. Even if Emperor Yanling had already said that it was okay, he didn't dare to be careless.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and carelessness will only cost one's own life.
Therefore, Li Chuyi's decision today was not unexpected by Li Sinian and a few people. Li Chuyi did not hide them, and they knew Li Chuyi's character and obsession well, so they were not surprised, but a little awkward.
"Where do you look like an emperor?"
Li Sinian looked at the little fat man strangely, from head to toe and from foot to head, and the more he looked at it, the more he shook his head.
Rolling his eyes, the little fat man snorted angrily: "I didn't say that I would be a prince, I just promised him to be a big prince, and then negotiated with the old emperor, and he promised that I would be the prince after the sea was windless." In addition, as soon as the sea is windless and out of trouble, we will withdraw immediately, so does the prince love him, who should be whom, and the master will not do that terrible livelihood!"
"Isn't it, you're really not impressed at all?"
Li Sinian didn't believe it.
"Prince, the future Emperor Yan, the entire Dayan is yours, are you really willing to give up?"
"Is there anything strange?"
The little fat man stared at him.
"Fourth Uncle, what are you practicing for?"
Li Sinian was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Of course, it is for the sake of becoming an immortal and immortal!"
"That's the end of it!"
Shrugging his shoulders, the little fat man said, "We are all monks, and our cultivation is to live a few more years as immortals." Does the size of Dayan's territory have anything to do with becoming an immortal? Does it make sense to be Emperor Yan commanding the world? When you become an immortal, what is nothing? When the time comes, when you stand in front of Emperor Yan, won't he have to give you an honest kneeling? In order to protect your safety on the path of cultivation, you can join or create a faction, and there is no problem. But don't forget that the purpose of doing this is to cultivate for yourself, not to dominate the world and be the ancestor and emperor, that is the luxury of the laity, not ours!"
"Persisting in demanding for the sake of power is not what we should do at all, it is putting the cart before the horse, our cultivation is to transcend the red dust and everything, not to tie ourselves more tightly!
Forced, but thinking about it from another angle, if they didn't think so much back then, but developed step by step according to the normal situation, the Yuwen family and the Mu family may still be two small families in the human world, but these two families may not have an immortal ascendant, and other clans and sects in the human world may not have a relationship with immortals like now!"
"So I've always felt that these two people are very contradictory, both great men and sinners. It was they who made the Yuwen family and the Mu family stand at the top of the human world, but they also made the immortal gate above the apex sealed, causing so many immortals to soar and only look at the sky and watch themselves grow old day by day, until Shou Yuan died with regrets, leaving a glorious life in vain but the gloomy end of the legend is circulating in the world, do you think this is interesting?"
It was rare for Li Chuyi to say such serious words a few times, and several people were very touched when they heard it, and they all bowed their heads and thought deeply.
Although some of these statements are biased, they are generally extremely true. The world of monks is so contradictory, gathering people for their own spiritual path, gathering more people will produce class and power, class and power bring security and also bring benefits, benefits can make one's progress faster but make others blush.
As a result, strife appeared, wars raged in the sky, individuals and forces took the initiative or forced to participate, countless clans became disillusioned, and countless monks turned into smoke, but they couldn't stop, because this is a dead circle that can never be stopped once it is started, and no one can break free.
Now, Dayan's throne is in front of Li Chuyi, and it can almost be said that it is within reach, but he doesn't dare to accept it. Because even if he had the Origin Primordial Soul, the Dao Classic, and even a trace of chaotic qi around him, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would not get lost in the beauty of power and lose his original heart.
Besides, he is also very self-aware, and he knows very well that he is not the material for doing that kind of big thing. It's okay to let him be a small landlord and a young master, and let him run a big business, and nine times out of ten the family will be ruined. The family is broken, the person is dead, and he doesn't want to take that responsibility.
It's okay to change this job to a Taoist priest, but it's a pity that the Taoist priest sees it more thoroughly than him, and he will scoff at it just like him. They are the people who stand outside the loop, watching the stupid geese chasing me in circles in the loop, how can they jump in and become one of them?
Li Sinian is a casual cultivator, not to mention hungry and cold, but his previous life was not very good, so he was still relatively slow to accept Li Chuyi's ideas.
However, Fang Junnan and Liu Mingxiu are from everyone's background, and they have been accustomed to seeing the deceit between factions since they were children, coupled with the warm and cold feelings they saw when they eloped, they agreed with Li Chuyi's thoughts the fastest.
As Li Chuyi said, no matter how big the power is, what if the world is the emperor, and no matter how high the human world stands, can it be compared to the gods?
They are monks, extraordinary people between immortals and mortals, and it is inevitable that they will be entangled in trivial matters, but they can turn around and cling to it, which is indeed putting the cart before the horse.
At the same time, Yuwen Taihao had just returned to the Zhenxi Palace, and had just sat down in his study, and before he could take a breath, the monk appeared quietly in front of him, as if he had been standing there, and no one could see how he got in.
"The mage has been very diligent in the past two days, aren't you afraid that the imperial brother will find out?" Yuwen Taihao's tone was indifferent, and he was not surprised by the monk's appearance at all.
The monk smiled casually: "I miss it, and I hate it frequently, it is the prince's mood that has changed, not that the little monk is diligent." ”
"Hehe, the mage is always reasonable, this king can't say you. ”
He smiled not lightly, and Yuwen Taihao's expression turned condensed.
"I don't know why the mage came here today? But you came to check on the things entrusted to this king? Then you came at the right time, this king has just returned from Li Chuyi, and the things have already been handed over to him, as for whether to use it or not, hehe, it is not something that this king can control. ”
The monk chuckled and shook his head.
"Where is the prince, the little monk has always believed in the prince, so naturally he will not do those things that are censored. As for whether to use it or not, it is also fate, the little monk never forced it, let alone forced the prince to do anything, everything is fate and fruit, and it can't be forced. The little monk made a special trip to visit the prince today, yesterday the prince moved his true anger, the little monk was afraid that your old injury would recur, so he came to give you medicine, and hoped that the prince could sympathize with the little monk's painstaking heart. ”
With a wave of his hand, a jade box that was exactly the same as yesterday slowly fell in front of Yuwen Taihao, and before he could touch it, he opened it by itself, and a maroon pill with a trace of blood appeared in it.
Without looking at the pill, Yuwen Taihao stared at the monk's eyes and nodded lightly after a moment.
"The mage has a heart, and this king is deeply grateful. ”
"The prince is serious, you and I are united in the great deeds of the common people, how can the little monk sit back and watch the prince suffer, this is as it should be. ”
After that, the monk paused, his smile remained unchanged, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"However, the little monk does have an inquiry. Based on the prince's understanding of that child, how likely do you think he will use that elixir on himself?"
Yuwen Taihao smiled: "Isn't it fate?"
The monk was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "You know the little monk's Buddha heart, just curious." ”
"That's right. ”
Nodding ambiguously, Yuwen Taihao smiled indifferently.
"I'm curious, too, but, who knows, hehe. ”
