Longevity

Remember [New] in a second! Monk Yuande made this determination, and also went through inner struggle and hesitation.

After all, it is the emperor and Prince Chun. Damiaolian Temple is just a temple of the imperial court, not an existence beyond the imperial court. It is just subordinate to the imperial court and obeys the imperial court.

If the imperial court wants to disband Damiaolian Temple, let alone being the abbot of Damiaolian Temple, even the abbot of Damiaolian Temple can only act according to orders and cannot violate the imperial decree of the imperial court.

Therefore, to directly disobey the emperor, or even fight against the emperor, in order to preserve the Great Miaolian Temple, it is a big treason and a death penalty.

More importantly, whether I put the court in a more important position, or the Damiaolian Temple, now I see Damiaolian Temple as more important than the court.

This is also contrary to the conduct of eminent monks.

But in the end, he decided to do so, and he couldn't wait to die. After all, with the help of Fakong, he acted more safely, and it might not be impossible to stop the madness of the emperor and King Chun.

In his opinion, it was really wrong for the two of them to want to prolong their lives. The precedent of the Dayu Dynasty still exists, which shows that if an emperor reigns for too long, he will inevitably become corrupt.

This is not based on human thoughts, but on nature.

As long as you are a person, you will lose your vitality in your old age, become more conservative, worry more, and become more attached to the past, thus losing the energy to change the status quo.

But everything in the world is in motion and changing, and it has to change.

Once unchanged, it means backwardness means decay.

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

If a court does not seek changes and innovations, and keeps innovating, it will quickly decay. It does not even need a hundred years, and it will become rotten in just twenty or thirty years, and the people will not be able to live.

Even the wisest emperor tends to become fatuous in his old age.

The emperor is also unavoidable. If he lives a long life, it will only cause Dayong to fall into turmoil in the end. In the end, it may destabilize Dayong and the people of the world. If you know this but do nothing, it is your own sin up.

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

"I will make it clear to Lord Ming personally." Monk Yuande said in a deep voice.

He felt that this matter needs to be stated directly, instead of being secretive, it will arouse the misgivings of Prince Ming, and the more sincere, the more he will be able to impress Prince Ming.

Fakong said: "Master thinks, how will Prince Ming react?"

"Whether it's for his own throne or for the country of Dayong, he has to do something," Monk Yuande said, "I won't stand by and let it develop."

"But it requires enough courage." Fakong said with a smile: "It would take too much risk. Lord Ming is now in a big job, and as a proton, the power he can mobilize is extremely limited. I'm afraid he won't dare do."

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

He is well aware of this, he has been in contact with Prince Ming, even if he conceals it well, he cannot escape his eyes, and he can see clearly what Prince Ming is thinking.

I can't wait to be the emperor, I can't wait to be enthroned tomorrow.

"But can he believe what you say, Master?" Fa Kong said, "You must know that if Master has ulterior motives and acts recklessly, his entire fate will be ruined."

Monk Yuande frowned.

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

I am a master of faith in Fakong, so I am sure of it, and later I came out with this idea, which proved the truth of the matter, but what about Prince Ming?

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

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

Fa Kong said: "Prince Ming probably won't believe it."

"Master, can there be a way?" Monk Yuande asked.

Fakong shook his head: "Even if I went to persuade him personally, he might not believe it."

After all, this matter involves the whole destiny, and it is not for the prince Ming to be careless, and will not trust anyone easily.

This is the basic quality of being an emperor.

Monk Yuande frowned and pondered.

Fakong laughed and said: "But although he doesn't believe it, he will doubt it, and then he will investigate slowly, and finally he can see some clues. After all, he is Prince Ming, not someone else."

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

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

"Don't say that the emperor will go crazy, otherwise, he will definitely not object," Fa Kong said, "Maybe just wait for the emperor to go crazy, and he will follow the flow naturally."

Monk Yuande said: "He probably doesn't want the emperor to go crazy. After all, he is in a big job, and he may not be able to rush back in time. It is easy to get ahead of him."

When the emperor was in a state of madness, if he was not in Dayong but in Dagan, he would not be able to quench his near thirst, and some princes might take the opportunity to seize the palace and ascend to the throne.

Immediately after assuming the throne, he was given to death. Even if someone figured out the real successor afterwards, it would be too late.

Fakong said: "The key to this is for the master to grasp by himself."

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

You can't just do it because you are afraid of difficulties. You have to do it as soon as possible, and you can't think too much, otherwise you will fall behind and defend every step of the way, and you will still be unable to escape your original fate in the end.

Fakong's eyes suddenly became deep, and after a while, he shook his head.

Monk Yuande said: "It's still useless after all?"

Fakong sighed: "Amazing."

"How will Prince Ming do?"

"Prince Ming didn't take any action after hearing this," Fakong said with a smile: "He chose to wait for the opportunity instead of taking any action."

He shook his head and said with emotion: "This Prince Ming is more powerful than we imagined, I admire him."

Prince Ming deeply understands one thing, that is, he is in a big job and cannot move around, otherwise he will be easily taken advantage of by others, or even directly abandoned by Cao Jingyuan.

If you want to move, you have to go back to Dayong. As long as you are working hard for a day, you have to be obedient and not move rashly. It can be said that you are extremely sober.

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

Fakong smiled: "That's not necessarily the case. Prince Ming didn't dare to act rashly, which shows that he is wary of the emperor.... Why would Master think of a way to replace Prince Ming?"

"This... Can Dagan agree?" Monk Yuande was puzzled.

Fakong said: "I will tell the emperor, let the proton change, Prince Yi will change, and Prince Ming will also change, it must be no problem."

"That's good!" Monk Yuande nodded solemnly.

If this is the case, don't worry if Prince Ming doesn't act, he will definitely not be able to bear it.

Fa Kong said: "But there is one problem, Master Ming will not be able to help him when he returns to Dayong."

Monk Yuande looked at Fakong.

Fakong laughed: "I'm here to send a message?"

"Thank you." Monk Yuande smiled.

"...All right," Fakong said with a smile, "Then you might as well give it a try."
