Chapter 114: Where to go
"Master Dao Yan?" Ye Cheng blurted out in surprise. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
The monk at the door smiled slightly and nodded, it was the Daoyan monk Yao Guangxiao.
Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing didn't expect that the Dao Yan Mage, who was an extremely human minister, would suddenly come, and they were quite surprised.
At this time, I saw Dao Yan slowly walking to Ye Cheng's side, and said, "The poor monk came to the young man to ask for a bowl of tea, I don't know if it's okay?"
Ye Cheng hurriedly saluted after hearing this: "Where did the mage say, it was already wrong to not be able to greet him from afar, and serving tea is even more of a matter, please come into the house." β
Dao Yan said with a smile: "You are a person in the rivers and lakes, and the poor monk is also a person in the rivers and lakes, today we will not be called the court, but the people in the rivers and lakes, can we?"
Ye Cheng said respectfully: "Then how to make it?"
"Make, very much, the poor monk has lived in vain for many years, so he is not ashamed to call himself a senior, what does Ye Shaoxia think?"
Although Ye Cheng and Dao Yan have met a few times, it is the first time that they have had such a close conversation, and they didn't expect the famous black-clothed prime minister to be so approachable, which was really unexpected, and it also made Ye Cheng very admired.
After entering the house and taking a seat, Zhong Qing didn't wait for Ye Cheng to make a move, and went to make tea for the two. Dao Yan took advantage of this time to look at Ye Cheng's house, but saw that all the decorations were neatly organized, and there was a small sealed box on the octagonal table in front of him, on which were written with four big characters: jewelry, gold and silver.
Dao Yan looked at the burden at the door again, and knew what the situation was without asking too much, and couldn't help but praise the beard in the first year: "Shaoxia, this is to learn from Guan Yunchang to hang the seal and seal the gold?
Ye Cheng's face turned red, and he couldn't help but smile: "Master...... No, seniors, if you say this, you will be tormented by the juniors, these things are not owned by Ye Cheng in the first place, and Ye Cheng needs to return to the original owner if he wants to leave. β
"Alas, in this court, how many people regard the things of the court and the country as a few things, and use them at will, without any shame, I didn't expect Ye Shaoxia to be such a young ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he would do things so brightly, if he let those ministers know, wouldn't he be ashamed of them?" Dao Yan sighed and said.
Ye Chenglian said that he didn't dare. At this time, Dao Yan turned to Zhong Qing and saw that she was standing opposite him, so he smiled and said, "Miss Zhong doesn't have to be stubborn, just sit together, the poor monk just has something to explain to the two of you." β
Zhong Qing was not polite, and sat down while smiling: "Qing'er originally wanted the two of you to talk about things, but I avoided it first, since the seniors have said so, then I will take the liberty to sit down and listen to it together." β
Dao Yan smiled and said, "Fourth Highness, you can find a smart and empathetic girl like Miss Zhong, it is really a blessing from your previous life." β
"Fourth Highness?" Ye Cheng thought secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but shake his body, and Zhong Qing on the side was also taken aback.
"What the seniors said, why can't the juniors understand?" Ye Cheng still wanted to hide.
"Your Highness, why do you want to hide it anymore, in fact, you are the fourth son of Emperor Chengzu today, and your mother is the daughter of Ye Fengtian, a merchant of Yandi, Ye Qiuxue. Shaoxia said that what the poor monk said was not right?" Dao Yan slowly took a sip of tea.
Ye Cheng was silent for a moment, knowing that this matter must have been known by Dao Yan, and it would be too naΓ―ve to deny it in front of Dao Yan, one of the six heroes in the world. Thinking of this, Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Since the seniors already know, Ye Cheng will no longer hide it." It's just that the seniors still don't call me His Royal Highness again, it sounds really awkward. β
Dao Yan nodded and said: "The poor monk first proposed to meet each other with the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, but he broke the precepts, which is really the fault of the poor monk. That poor monk is still called Ye Shaoxia, but I don't know where Ye Shaoxia wants to pack his bags?"
"Of course, it is to leave Yingtian and travel the rivers and lakes. Ye Cheng said firmly.
Dao Yan shook his head: "It's a pity, it's a pity." β
Ye Cheng didn't understand me: "What is a pity?"
"It's a pity that Ye Shaoxia has extraordinary martial arts, a young talent, and a talent, but he is a coward who hides when he encounters trouble!" Dao Yan took another sip of tea and wrote lightly.
Ye Cheng was not happy when he heard it, and said in his heart that although he had grown so big, many people had scolded him, but he had never met a coward, and he couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by your predecessors, I don't know if you are below." β
"Shaoxia, you were Ye Qiuxue's only son, your mother died with hatred, but you retreated from the battle, and you couldn't avenge your mother, this is a coward; since the assassination failed, you couldn't comfort your mother, you should be in the temple to repay your father, but you chose to fly away, this is two cowardices; you have a body of talent, but you don't have any ambition in your heart, Cangsheng Sheji seems to have nothing to do with you, you just want to be self-unified, and you can be alone, this is three cowardices; Miss Zhong is both talented and beautiful, and the beauty is rare, you can't give it glory and wealth, just take a girl to wander in the rivers and lakes, go around for home, and make the girl suffer, this is the four cowards; your master is drunk too white and Lu is one of the six heroes of the rivers and lakes, and is as famous as the poor monk, I accepted you as an apprentice for life, but you didn't want to forge ahead, and insulted the teacher, this is five cowardices. There was a time when there was no cowardice, and the poor monk said that you are a coward, is it too much?"
Ye Cheng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat while listening, just these words made Ye Cheng even more intimidating than Dao Yan's martial arts mastery.
The short silence made the whole hall seem unusually silent, Dao Yan drank tea by himself, it seemed that he didn't want to deliberately interrupt the silence, Ye Cheng's heart was rolling, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhong Qing saw that Ye Cheng was speechless when he was said by Dao Yan, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and he felt unhappy again, so he said in her crisp voice: "The predecessor is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, not only leading the court, but also being able to teach people with the posture of a master outside the world, it is really a loss for both of them." β
Dao Yan was not annoyed, but stroked his beard and looked at Ye Cheng, he knew that Zhong Qing was still too young, the more she stood up for Ye Cheng like this, the more Ye Cheng would feel that what he said just now made sense, and the more he would feel that he had failed Zhong Qing such a good girl. In this way, it is right in their own arms.
Sure enough, seeing Ye Cheng coughed, he finally couldn't hold back and said: "The younger generation has heard that the morning is the way to die, the seniors came this time, presumably not just to scold me, since the seniors said, then there must be a good way to teach me, and the juniors hereby implore the seniors to give me advice, and they must listen to me." β
Dao Yan smiled slightly and said: "It is not difficult to guide the way, the difficulty is whether the person who walks the road is willing to take that road." β
"It's not troublesome, it doesn't mean that it's the business of the predecessors, but whether you can go or not is someone else's business, so why worry about it. Zhong Qing was originally a young lady's temper, because of what Dao Yan said just now, she is now disgusted with Dao Yan, and she is no longer as respectful as she was at the beginning.
I saw Ye Chengdao: "The road pointed by the seniors is naturally like a smooth road, but the younger generations have benefited a lot from listening, how can they hesitate." β
Dao Yan felt a little sad in his heart at this time, he knew what he was saying now, the possibility of Ye Cheng agreeing was already very high, but Cheng Zu's request was a little too harsh.
The person who hesitated for a while became Dao Yan, but after thinking about it, Dao Yan felt that there was no better way, so he had to say: "Since Emperor Jianwen fled, your father has been stuck in his throat, if he doesn't find Emperor Jianwen for a day, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep peacefully." When everyone makes mistakes, your father still can't let go of the arson back then, he has repentance, after all, he is your only relative in the world, the poor monk thinks that the young man should abandon his past suspicions and help your father find Emperor Jianwen, so that he can do his filial piety and come to Ke'an Sheji. β
Ye Cheng hesitated: "Emperor Jianwen and I have no grievances, not to mention the size of this world, I may not be able to find it, even if I can find it, wouldn't I be killed by my father, so wouldn't I be guilty?"
Dao Yan said with a smile: "If Emperor Jianwen is allowed to be outside, it will be a great sin, young man, imagine that an emperor who has lost his country, in addition to being used as a puppet by people who want to rebel and disobey, what else can he do? If it really becomes that kind of situation, first, Emperor Jianwen's second half of his life can only be at the mercy of others, and second, when the war is chaotic, the good situation of stability in the Central Plains will cease to exist again, and the sorrow and sorrow of the people when the Yuan people perished will reappear. When that time comes, your father, Emperor Chengzu, will have no choice, and the innocent will be implicated, and the lives will be miserable, isn't it a sin of sins?"
This persuasion made Ye Cheng couldn't help but burst into a daze, and his heart was pounded: "What this mage said is good, when that time comes, everything will be out of control, I don't care who the throne is, but the world is in chaos and the people are suffering, but I can't stand idly by." β
"What the predecessors said is quite reasonable, Ye Cheng didn't think of this layer before, and he was really taught. But as the predecessors said, with such a major event of the rise and fall of a country, how can I hope that I am a mere ranger?" Ye Cheng asked.
"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. Moreover, the search for Emperor Jianwen is already in secret, and many people in the rivers and lakes of Yipin Pavilion are ordered here, even the poor monks are also listed, so it is definitely not for Shaoxia to find it alone. β
Ye Cheng nodded after hearing this, and was silent.
Dao Yan continued: "Emperor Chengzu has made it clear to me that as long as the young man can make meritorious contributions in the process of finding Emperor Jianwen, he will restore your status as the fourth highness, correct your mother's name, and entrust you with important responsibilities in the court. β
After saying this, there was a short silence, and Dao Yan knew that Ye Cheng was weighing and thinking, so he drank tea again and didn't bother. Zhong Qing over there knew that this matter could only be decided by Ye Cheng alone, so he had to look at Ye Cheng with concern at the moment, not daring to say a word.
"Okay! But I Ye Cheng has three conditions!" Ye Cheng's words broke the silence, he suddenly got up, and finally made his own decision.
