"Your Highness is a poor monk in the school," Dao Yan smiled confidently:

"Obviously, the biggest hidden danger in Annam now is the contradiction between the new king and the so-called 'emperor'."

"How?" The sixth asked with a smile.

"As far as the poor monks know, when the envoys of Annam paid tribute a few years ago, they proposed to the imperial court to send Taoist priests to Annam to preach. This was supposed to fend off the Cham Buddhism, the struggle for faith among the people of Annam. ”

"According to the intelligence, a few years ago, the capital of Annam was attacked by monks. However, Annam was troubled by internal and external troubles, rebellions were frequent, and even the previous king died in foreign wars, so it is not difficult to speculate that their internal control must have been very weak, and it was impossible to eradicate the influence of Buddhism. ”

"So they need to rely on external forces, not just to defend against Cham Buddhism. It is also hoped that this will ease the relationship with the Celestial Empire, and use the power of my Ming Dynasty to prevent the invasion of the Cham country. Then he listened to the Tao Yan and said:

"These are the proper meanings of the question, but His Royal Highness said that King Annam actually wants to invite a Ming monk to come over to teach the Fa, and the matter is interesting now."

"Inviting a Taoist priest to preach is obviously to suppress the Buddha. Why do you want to invite a monk to sing a duet? This is a fundamental contradiction. Combined with the current situation that Annam has both a king and a so-called emperor, it is likely that there are two ends of the government, and the two of them have their own ways. ”

"Okay." The sixth child applauded approvingly: "It is worthy of being Master Daoyan, you guessed it right." ”

"There is some information, this king deliberately didn't give it to you, just to see the master's skills." As he spoke, he smiled and said:

"The king of the Chen Dynasty is twenty years old this year, and he has already held a crown ceremony, so it is said that he should be in power. However, the so-called emperor still refused to give up power, and through the powerful minister Hu Jichen, he firmly controlled the government of Annam. ”

"Inviting a Taoist priest to preach in Annan was Hu Jichen's idea, and the purpose was exactly the same as what you said. And inviting a senior monk to teach the Fa is naturally the idea of the king of the Chen Dynasty, and the purpose is to compete with 'Hu Ji Feather'. ”

"It's not a good idea." Dao Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Since the Annan Imperial Court has set the tone of worshipping Taoism and suppressing Buddha, he has to invite monks to teach the Fa, doesn't this openly intensify the contradiction?" The emperor is a ruthless character who kills the king and usurps the throne, if he is fledgling, isn't this self-defeating? ”

"Hahaha......" The sixth laughed when he heard this.

"Hahaha......" Dao Yan also laughed, the following words are self-evident, they can be tacitly understood, but they are not beautiful. The poor monk understood his mission. ”

"The master must protect himself." The sixth nodded. People say that you don't need a hammer to sound a drum, but when you encounter a divine drum like Daoyan, you don't need to knock it, it can sound by itself.

"The city has a trading post in Annam and a representative office in Thang Long, and they can provide support. If things are not going well, we can also help you evacuate Annam. ”

"Hehe, just Annan, Your Highness rest assured, wait for the poor monk to go and turn him upside down." Dao Yan was full of confidence.

"Okay." The sixth nodded happily and said: "As soon as the formalities are completed, the king will personally urge it, you go back to prepare for it, so go south as soon as possible." ”

"Yes." Dao Yan held the document bag in his arm and folded his hands.

"Very good, if the master has any requirements, you can mention it." The king of Chu smiled again: "This king will do his best. ”

"There's a small request." Dao Yan said softly.

"Speak." King Chu nodded.

"The poor monk has a nephew named Yao Ji who treats him as his own, he is eighteen years old this year, and he has been studying in Suzhou Mansion for two years, can you ask His Royal Highness to be kind and let him study at Guozi University?" So Dao Yan pleaded.

"Absolutely." Lao Liu agreed: "It's a chicken, he can choose the first hall of the sixth school." ”

"The poor monk wants him to study science." Dao Yan said.

"Oh?" The sixth child was a little surprised and said, "Isn't it scripture? ”

"The study of the scriptures is a waste of time." Dao Yan replied with a smile: "And science is an innovative study created by His Highness, and I will definitely be able to learn more useful things, and my future will be better." ”

"Hahaha, you monk, you have quite confidence in this king." The sixth couldn't help laughing. Dao Yan is right, not to mention that science is created by himself, just to encourage more people to devote themselves to science, he will also try his best to give science scholars a good future.

Of course, the premise is that he can always have the final say, and he will not step aside when the time comes.

Especially at this juncture, a storm has formed against him, and Dao Yan is still so optimistic about him, which is really heartwarming.

"Hehe, originally the poor monk was still a little worried about His Highness and wanted to offer advice." Dao Yan smiled and said, "But after talking to His Highness, the poor monk knows that he is too worried. How could those broad Confucian scholars be the opponents of His Highness? ”

"Haha, take your good words." The sixth child smiled and didn't talk to him about domestic affairs again. "Any other requirements?"

"The poor monk has no other requirements." Dao Yan shook his head, a little excited, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving the poor monk this opportunity to show his heart's content."

"This is just the first stop, there is a bigger stage in the future, waiting for the master." Zhu Zhen smiled and sent him out of the Arctic Pavilion.

"Amitabha, take care, Your Highness." Dao Yan announced the Buddha's horn, and strode down the Jilong Mountain.

For more than forty years, his head has never been so high, his steps have never been so calm, and his heart has never burned like this.

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to do great things...... "He took a deep breath in intoxication, happily left Guozi University, and strode towards a new destiny......

~~

In that room, the King of Chu watched the bald head disappear into the vast night under the leadership of the guards, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Dao Yan guessed from the beginning that he sent him to Annan with the intention of exile. So that this dangerous monk is far away from China, and he is not given a chance to get together with the fourth brother, so as not to have any unpredictable chemical reaction between the two.

It is said that it is safer to kill him, but the sixth child is really reluctant to this once-in-a-century genius, so after thinking about it, he decided to throw him to Annan and scourge the monkeys.

In short, no matter what, it is impossible for Dao Yan to become the fourth brother's person.

Thinking of the sister-in-law who was saved by himself, Xiongying who was planted with cowpox, Zhu Zhen finally had a feeling that he had changed history.

But there was no smugness in my heart, but I began to feel fear of the future.

Because the change of history means that he no longer has a prophet, and from now on, he will have to face the unpredictable unknown like everyone else.

He looked up at the starry sky and suddenly smiled again.

What does it mean to know the future of the answers? Facing the unknown is the real life......

"Now that this king has chosen this path," His Royal Highness the King of Chu announced in a loud voice under the starry sky, "Then let the storm come more violently!" ”
