Ao Bai, who turned into a white horse, carried Sanzang, and also smacked his mouth and said: "Master, I am also a little worried in my heart, Zhu Ziguo has been in poor health for many years, ignoring mundane affairs, and the government was originally controlled and managed by the emperor's uncle and master, and now His Majesty the king has suddenly recovered his health, and he has been buried in his heart for many years of governance. The ambition to work hard suddenly burned, and it is bound to revive the dynasty and seize power from the hands of the emperor's uncle and prince, who have controlled the government for many years, and the internal forces must be intertwined and deep-rooted, and His Majesty's behavior of seizing power like this will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction and resistance of the emperor's uncle and prince. There is a way that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and if the two compete, there will be damage, and I am afraid that Zhu Ziguo's government will no longer have peace, and the stable life of the common people will also be affected. ”

Sanzang smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: " Ao Bai, you are too worried, His Majesty the King is wise and wise, take precautions, when we arrived, as if he sensed in advance that his cough and asthma was going to be cured, he sent the emperor's uncle and master to Huoluo Village to carry out construction operations for the villagers, just to take advantage of this opportunity, so as to seize the power in his hands, maybe it was too much for the teacher, this matter seemed to be an understatement at the time, and now it seems that there is really some deep intentions, and the feeling of planning and then moving. ”

"Of course, the pattern of this matter has been pre-set as early as the time of the ten generations of kings, His Majesty the King is the father of the country, usually just in poor health, so the emperor uncle and the master are in charge, in fact, you can decide the appointment and dismissal of the emperor uncle and the master anytime and anywhere, although the emperor uncle and the master are not angry, but the situation is stronger than people, and there is no choice but to give in. ”

"Instead of worrying about this, I am very worried about the division of the territory of Zhu Ziguo, His Majesty the King is burdened by the chronic illness on his body, and has not been able to govern the government for decades, and now he is recovering from a serious illness, and he is ambitious, and he really wants to rely on his own half of his life to subdue all the independent land that has been divided out for a hundred years. ”

Ao Bai didn't feel stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "His Majesty the King is a heroic and heroic lord, with benevolence and righteousness, although he has the heart to recover his homeland, he really doesn't want to see too many people shed blood and sacrifice for it, so he promised to use bloodless methods to recover the lost land and repeat the glory of the great country in the past through the method of redemption. ”

Hearing this, Tianshu was full of sarcasm, and shrugged his shoulders leisurely: "Ao Bai, such a high-sounding scene is also a loss to your dignified man to be able to believe it, it's too naïve, right? Not to mention that Zhu Ziguo has been paying tribute and paying taxes to the demon king Sai Tai Sui in the past two hundred years, and the people have been poor and weak, and the people are miserable, and His Majesty the King is also poor and afraid, so he has fallen into the appearance of a stingy iron rooster, and even to admire the demeanor of our Sanzang Legion, the people have to pay out of their own pockets, such a slashing appearance has already entered the bones, what else can you expect from him?"

"With this face, although His Majesty the King has obtained the huge treasures sealed in the Pig Cave, he will only spend these riches on the country's capital construction, and he wants to use them to redeem the land that was divided in the past, but he doesn't need to think about it, after all, in his eyes, those land that was divided in the past was originally the original property of his Zhu Ziguo, and the owner of his own family took back the land that was divided, and he had to spend money to redeem it, how can this really be true?"

"Moreover, according to the rules handed down by the ancestors of the previous dynasties, if you want to seize land, you have to bring the other party to its knees by means of war. Moreover, those leaders who have split out are usually killed and taken in the country, and they say that they are not the same, and they do not worry about food and clothing, so why should they collect money for you to buy them, obey your commands, obey your legal constraints, and tie their hands and feet, but they are not two?"

Ao Bai was also speechless when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said weakly: "That distant person is not convinced, so since cultivating Mingde, is this thing feasible?"

Tianshu smiled unconsciously, and said disdainfully: "What people are not convinced, so since the cultivation of Mingde, don't say that with the twilight body of His Majesty the King, you can't wait for so long, even if you wait, it's just an empty word, and it can't be true." ”

"I still say the same thing, those leaders who divide the land are usually used to acting as a blessing, why do they submit to your command and domination for no reason, and people are far away, so since the cultivation of Mingde, it is just a beautiful vision that the ancients deliberately fabricated to deceive the people in order to show the king's cultural and martial arts. The leaders of those separatist forces on the border may temporarily submit to you, and it is already very good to pay tribute to you, how can they obey your command and dispatch in everything, it is really like losing their sovereignty, which one can do it?"

"So unless you use force to subdue them and incorporate them into your territory, it is really harder for them to obediently tame and bow down to you. ”

Listening to her thorough analysis, Ao Bai suddenly felt enlightened, and Mao Sai suddenly said: "It's really better to listen to your words than to read for ten years, in this way, His Majesty the King has to use war means, it is difficult to subdue the lost land, as the master said, such a soldier together, I don't know how many innocent people are going to die for it, and they are displaced?"

Sanzang shrugged his shoulders and said with pity: "I only hope that His Majesty the King is really the peerless saint with kindness, using the large number of gold treasures transported back from the hedgehog cave, committed to the development of production, strengthening the army and enriching the people, and then used the absolute superiority of troops to come to the city, so that the leaders who divided the country were forced to surrender under the pressure of the troops, so that the soldiers were bloodless, and they could yield to the thieves and recover the lost territory. ”

"There is a way that if things are strong, they will be old, and if the moon is full, they will be short, so that the soldiers will work together, kill and leave the chaos, and do not put production, dragging a glorious country with a great future into the endless Shura purgatory, and the ambitious benevolent holy lord will also become a reckless soldier in an instant. Killing the demons of war that is arbitrary, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in Chinese history is an excellent example, so I really hope that His Majesty the King needs to be cautious and think twice before acting in the face of such military affairs, so as not to mislead the country and drag the people of a good country into boundless purgatory. ”

Ao Bai pursed his lips, and said with some sarcasm in his words: "Master, since he has such a good idea, why did he not tell His Majesty the King at the right time, but he sighed and grieved in front of us, what is the use?"

Sanzang was furious when he heard this, jumped to his feet and said viciously: "Damn, I want to say, isn't it that those people on the stall are surging with emotions and rushing towards us one after another, Lao Tzu is too late to escape, but how can he have the opportunity to confess his heart to His Majesty the King?

"It can be said that this dream has become an obsession in the heart of His Majesty the King, no matter how I persuade the teacher, I am afraid that it will be like a breeze in the ears, it is useless, otherwise you think that those wise and brave promising kings in history, how can they be so confused and unable to listen to the obvious correct advice of their subordinates, just because the idea in their hearts has become an obsession, and they want to do it quickly, no matter how correct the advice of others is, they will not be able to listen. Having said that, Ao Bai and the others also nodded silently, and the master and apprentice were all concerned about the future and fate of Zhu Ziguo.

At this time, Ya Shi ran in a hurry, full of spring breeze, triumphant, it seemed that a lot of gossip had come out of Bajie's mouth, only to see him run to Tianshu's approach, shake her sleeve vigorously and said: "Senior sister, I think your technique of communicating with the soul of the deceased is extraordinary, can you teach it to me?"

Tianshu snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "This kid is really energetic, but as the saying goes, if you are greedy, you will lose, and a little trick is not enough, you still concentrate on learning combat power from your senior brothers is the right way, so don't divide your mind in this small detail." ”

"I also know that you are dedicated to martial arts, but you need to travel during the day, so you can't practice, and you have nothing to do, so you have to pester your senior brother and ask them about some secret things, which is always not the right path, and it is difficult to last. ”

"That's it, anyway, we're idle, I'll teach you the Tao Te Ching made when Taishang Laojun incarnated Lao Tzu went down to the world, and you can remember it and memorize it when you're fine, which will be of great benefit to your practice." However, this scripture is deeply astringent, mysterious and mysterious, not only a day and a month can be unraveled to understand it, I will pass you the first ten chapters today, until you memorize it well, after careful pondering, there is something you don't understand, and then come to me to ask for advice. ”

When Ya Shu heard that Tianshu was going to pass on his own scriptures, he was naturally happy and enthusiastic, and nodded in agreement, but after Tian Shu recited the first ten chapters, Ya Shu's eyes widened, and he was full of vertigo and said: "Senior sister, this Tao Te Ching is too deep, what" Tao can be Tao, very Tao, name can be named, very famous", "Therefore, there is often, I want to see its wonder, I often have, I want to see it", I don't understand it, I don't say it, and I still talk like that, but how can I remember it?"

Tianshu smiled coldly when he heard this, dragged a rattan from the grass beside the road, pumped it vigorously on his thigh, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Good boy, the old lady has easily seized a great opportunity to teach and educate people, how can she easily miss it? If the scriptures handed down by the ancestors of Taoism are not mysterious and profound, wouldn't everyone be able to practice the Tao and ascend to immortality? I don't want you to understand it immediately, you just need to memorize it by rote and memorize it for me first, and as for the meaning, you can slowly understand it in the future." ”

"I can tell you, limited to this evening, you must recite the first ten chapters to me, if you can't memorize them, see how the old lady cleans you up?"
