After separating from Li Ruohai, He Heng traveled alone through the mountains and rivers, and rushed to Jinling, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, at an extremely slow speed.After arriving at this Jinling, he did not hesitate and ran directly to the palace.Although the palace is heavily guarded, with He Heng's ability, there is no place in this world that can stop him.Although it was broad daylight, He Heng's figure was shuttling around the palace, and many people came and went, but none of them could find him.After passing through the palaces, He Heng came to the Huagai Palace, where Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with political affairs at this moment.I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is a person with a very strong desire for power, so he abolished the prime minister and took back the prime minister's power, but because of this, he had to deal with the political affairs that should have been handled by the prime minister.In fact, there are so many officials in a court, but because there are too many things, the emperor can't handle them alone, so he needs others to share them for him, which also leads to the loss of power.Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to strengthen the imperial power, so he took back the things that belonged to the prime minister to do for himself, and also took back the power of the prime minister, but this also made him overworked, busy with various affairs all day long, so for decades, it is no wonder that he is difficult to live a long life.Throughout the ages, emperors have been called long live, but only a few have actually lived past the age of eighty.Although medicine was not developed in ancient times, which emperor did not gather all the resources of the world and have the top imperial physician of the era to control their physical health, but few of them could live past the age of eighty.The fundamental reason for this is that there are too many things to do in the position of the emperor, and he has to deal with thousands of government affairs a day.And Zhu Yuanzhang's current level of work is several times that of ordinary emperors, just because his desire for power is too great, he naturally doesn't worry about others, and he has to deal with more things personally, and his body has reached a limit.Looking at the eunuchs who came and went holding a large number of reviews and folds, He Heng sighed and waited quietly at the outer door.After two hours, Zhu Yuanzhang finally finished reviewing all the folds and asked everyone to go down and rest alone in the main hall.He Heng slowly walked into the hall, and his figure gradually emerged, looking coldly at the man in front of him who was dressed in a dragon robe, full of dignity and majesty, and could faintly see a little bit of what he looked like back then, but he was already very old.I can still remember the scene when he was a little monk who couldn't even eat, but now it is a matter of things and people, and who can be eternal with the passage of time?
No matter how rich you are to rival the country, glamorous crowns and even power in the world, in the end it is just a touch of loess, and under the long river of time, it is full of dust.The so-called cultivation is to transform the essence of life, to rebel against this law, to jump out of the river of time, and to detach."
Didn't you say you all stepped down?"
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes suddenly, noticed the shadow in front of him, and when he scolded loudly, he saw the figure clearly and quickly stood up."
Master, how could it be you?
You should have informed the apprentice earlier, so that I could arrange for someone to greet you with the highest courtesy, just now I thought it was some kind of palace maid eunuch. ”Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised and delighted and walked down the dragon chair, came to He Heng, and bowed down.He Heng hurriedly said: "You are now the king of a country, how can you give such a great gift to me, a person from the mountains and wilderness, hurry up."
And the poor Tao has never taken you as a disciple, so you don't have to. ”Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Chongba is to become the master of the world, and he is still a disciple of the master, without the master, there would be no me today, even though the master has not accepted me as an apprentice, but in my heart, you will always be my mentor." ”He said this and bowed three times in a row before he stopped.He Heng glanced at him deeply, silently resigned his salutation, and sighed: "Your Majesty, you have a heart, and the poor Dao can't afford such a gift." ”Zhu Yuanzhang pulled He Heng to a table and said solemnly: "Master, you don't need to say much, please take a seat." ”He Heng didn't refuse, after he sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang also sat down on his right, and asked with a smile: "When the Ming Dynasty was built at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I wanted to ask the master to serve as the national teacher, but the master didn't want to go down the mountain, why did he come to me today?"
”He Heng said: "Poor Dao has been on the mountain for a long time, and he is very quiet, so he came out to travel the world, passing by the land of the capital, and naturally came to see you." ”"I see."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "According to the disciple's opinion, Master, you should have come down the mountain a long time ago, aren't the splendid rivers and mountains of Daming all owned by you and my master and apprentice?"
What good can there be in that mountain and wild land, it is better to come down and enjoy the glory and wealth. ”He Heng looked at him and said, "Chongba, you understand what you mean, but my generation is determined to be in the Heavenly Dao, and I really shouldn't be greedy for mortal dust." ”Looking at He Heng's cold face, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly changed his words: "This is the idea of the apprentice, a mediocre person, the master is a master of the Tao, the wind and the moon, and the humility is like a valley, and it is true that he should not be in the mundane land." ”He Heng nodded lightly and asked, "I don't know how you are doing lately?"
”Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I am the king of the Ming Dynasty, the world is in my hands, how can it be bad." ”He Heng smiled suddenly, looked at him coldly, and said silently: "Really?
”He Heng's pupils were dark and deep, like a vast starry sky; istye039; or:4876ff039; gt; Netizen, please remind: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes when reading for a long time.
：t; istye039; or:4876ff039; gt; This is the ornate dividing line T; igt; , suffocating.Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed, and then he smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, everything can't be hidden from you, Master!"
”He sighed, and then said: "Although the disciple is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he also has a lot of troubles, and it is difficult to sleep peacefully every night!"
”He Heng said: "Since ancient times, how much power you have, how much responsibility you have, this is the same for eternity. ”Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "In this position, I have to guard against others seizing power at all times, even if it is my dearest and beloved, I have to kill if necessary."
Almost anyone in this world is coveting this dragon chair at any time, and it is almost impossible to find anyone who can be trusted, and only in front of the teacher can he express his heart. ”Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang and He Heng said a lot of things, all kinds of trivial matters, as well as major events related to the world, and they talked for more than an hour.Finally, when he finished speaking, He Hengcai sighed: "Chongba, you are old!"
”Old?
Indeed, only the old people will have so much to say, and the young people will only hold things in their hearts.Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile and a crying look on his face, and sighed: "Master, you are right, Chongba is really old, and he no longer has the ambition he had back then, and he just wants to go down this country and go through the end of his life in a stable manner."
But even such a pursuit is difficult to achieve.Yun Wei has a soft temperament, and it is so-so to be a gentleman who keeps the rules, but he is too good at it, and after I die, I'm afraid no one can suppress him!
After some civil strife, I am afraid that the country that has finally settled down will be chaotic again, and Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu must be cleared one by one. ”"If I had been younger, I could have solved all these things one by one, but now, I can't hold on for long!
In this world, apart from an extraordinary and holy existence like you, Master, who can be young and immortal?
I'm not going to be able to do it after all. ”He Heng looked at him and said: "The rise and fall of the world is the way of heaven, why do you have to think about it, everything has its own certainty."
No matter how much you think about it, you can't escape the sentence that people are not as good as heaven. ”"A fixed number, people are not as good as the sky?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "There are some things that you have to do when you sit in this position, and you have to think that even if you are unkind, you have to do it." ”He Heng silently looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little old and haggard in front of him, and didn't say a word, he knew that the other party just needed a person to vent to, and he spit out the pain in his heart.Zhu Yuanzhang said a lot more intermittently, and suddenly he asked: "Master, you said that if I hadn't chosen to be this emperor at the beginning, and practiced in seclusion with Jing'an, wouldn't I be very happy now?"
”He Heng didn't answer, this question couldn't be answered.Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly again: "There is no choice for all this, if it weren't for this throne, how could a fairy-like character like Jing'an have an intersection with someone like me, and I am worthy of her?"
It is precisely because of this that I would rather choose to obey her arrangement and embark on such a path, just for the sake of her way. ”Saying this, his eyes quietly looked at He Heng, and sighed in his heart: "Everyone in the world says that the emperor is ruthless, but compared to you, Master, where is my emperor ruthless?"
Jing'an, Jing'an, why didn't you choose me?
Master, why are you so ruthless?"
"That day was the first time I saw him, on Wudang Mountain!
At that time, I followed some martial arts seniors to meet him. ”"I remember that it was Wudang Dongyan, under an ancient pine, when I turned my head, a light glance, just saw him appear under the tree, the breeze blowing, his hair fluttering, a wisp of purple gas rising, the figure seems to be nothing.At that moment, I seemed to see in him something that I had been pursuing all my life!
”"Just as all the masters of my fasting have taken the heavenly path as their goal, but no one has ever been able to achieve that state.I tried to get close to him like a moth to a flame, but I couldn't reach him at all. ”"He is a truly ruthless man, or he is no longer a human, but a fairy god in the sky, visible but untouchable."
In Cihang Jingzhai, under an ancient pine, Yan Jing'an lay quietly in Qin Mengyao's arms, constantly muttering to herself, looking at the sky in the distance, silent reminiscence and nostalgia.As if returning to the light, she suddenly took out three letters in her arms and handed them to Qin Mengyao, who was grieving."
This is for you, Bingyun and him respectively, and after I die, you must pass it on to them."
Qin Mengyao nodded, and was about to see the letter that belonged to her, but was stopped by Yan Jing'an: "When I die, you can see it again" A breeze suddenly blew in the sky, and the branches and leaves of the pine trees swayed, as if back then, Yan Jing'an looked obsessively, but her eyes were closed forever."
Master!"
Qin Mengyao roared sadly, with a trace of tears, and opened the letter that belonged to her.In the Forbidden City, after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's painful complaints, He Heng walked straight out of the palace and looked at the low sky, and smiled violently."
What does the love and hate of the world have to do with me?""
Wagging his tail and begging for mercy from heaven, my generation is a ruthless person."
In the laughter, He Heng's figure went farther and farther.
