Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 41 The Monk
After hearing Zhu Qi's words, the monk was speechless for a while, then reached out and picked up the jug on the table and poured it down vigorously.After a long time, the monk asked: "Since there is no opportunity for monks to stir up trouble in this world, why does the prince take the monk as a prisoner?"

Zhu Qi smiled and said, "Even if a great talent like you, monk, can't be used by Daming, he can't be outside of Daming."

The monk calmly ate his food and asked: "Is the prince planning to imprison the monk until death, or is he planning to execute the monk?"

Zhu Qi looked at the monk with a half-smile and said: "How can such a small cell trap a master master? If I execute the monk, I'm afraid it will be the monk's chance to escape!"

The monk froze all over, continued to eat and said: "The prince is really powerful, but the monk's thoughts can't be hidden from the prince."

Zhu Qi went on to say: "You became a monk in Miaozhiyi since you were young. Although you don't believe in Buddhism, you belong to the Buddhist family. When I sent people to Suzhou to capture the monk, the monk was able to capture him without a fight. I'm afraid he didn't want to implicate Miaozhiyi!"

The monk nodded, as a recognition.

Zhu Qi continued: "The monk was planning to feign death in front of me, the rightful master, to get away! But when the monk came to the imperial capital and knew my identity, he planned to stay and give me a white hat. The reason for the prison cell!"

The monk sighed and said: "The monk is familiar with the classics, and he is proficient in all three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. What a pity! The students in this body are not at the right time!" Then, the monk said lightly: "My lord, I have broken the monk's mind today. It seems The monk will no longer need to live in this cell!"

Zhu Qi laughed and said: "The monk is smart, you are not afraid that you may be wrong, if I want to kill you!"

The monk shook his head and said: "The prince wanted to kill the monk a long time ago, so why wait until today. The monk once learned some methods of observing qi. When he first saw the prince, the prince was weak and his aura was dark. It can be said that he was in danger. Every time I see the prince, the prince’s body becomes stronger, and the aura becomes more lively; in the past two years when I see the prince, every time the prince can bring surprises to the monk; now, the monk can sense the majesty of the prince’s aura It's terrifying, like a vast ocean, like an ancient giant beast. The monk thought, the prince has great opportunities, great wisdom, and great perseverance. People like the monk are unwilling to be mediocre, let alone the prince?"

Zhu Qi looked at the monk with a smile and said, "Monk, congratulations, you won the bet!"

The monk heard the words, his eyes flashed brightly and said: "Yao Tianxi pays homage to the prince!"

Zhu Qi said to Yao Tianxi: "Monk, your heart is not big enough. How can a white hat compare to this Middle-earth China? Father and Emperor took advantage of the wind and clouds to establish this promising Ming Empire; The situation can also disturb the world, if the Ming Empire is ruled by me to rule China, what does it matter if I wear this white hat or not!"

"When China is unified, your name, monk, will surely be passed down through the ages."

"Unify China, unify China!" Listening to Zhu Qi's words, Yao Tianxi stared blankly, muttering to himself.But for a moment, the monk's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhu Qi as if on a pilgrimage.

It is no wonder that Yao Tianxi was shocked, since the ancient Emperor, the Chinese mainland has changed countless dynasties.However, no dynasty has ever been able to unify China, let alone China.I'm afraid that even Emperor Hongwu didn't have the idea of ​​unifying China and China.

Zhu Qi went on to say: "Since the ancient emperor, no one has accomplished the great cause of unifying China. Although I have ambitions, I still need the help of monks."

Yao Tianxi took a deep breath and said, "The monk is willing to follow the prince, and China will be unified."

Zhu Qi looked at the monk's firm eyes and said: "Monk, the unification of China, the difficulties and obstacles are unimaginable, and even my life's plan is nothing more than a flower in a mirror or a moon in the water, so you are willing to do it."

Yao Tianxi stroked his bald head and laughed, "My lord has underestimated the monk. As long as he can live up to what the monk has learned in his heart, it doesn't matter if he is a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water!"

Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I have a plan that needs to be handled in secret, but I just need to change the face of the wronged monk."

Yao Tianxi clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddha's name and said, "The body is nothing more than a stinky skin, not to mention the name! For the great cause, it doesn't matter even if the monk goes to hell forever."

Zhu Qi looked at it, and suddenly the monk had a trace of dignity.

Shaking his head and not thinking too much, Zhu Qi continued, "From today onwards, you are no longer Yao Tianxi. In the future, your common name will be Yao Guangxiao, and your dharma name will be Daoyan."

Zhu Qi finally chose to give him the name of the monk's previous life!

The monk made a Buddhist salute to Zhu Qi and said, "Daoyan pays homage to the prince."

After the ceremony, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"Dao Yan, the unification of China is not an easy task. I am going to enter the imperial court from the rivers and lakes first." Zhu Qi said.

Dao Yan thought for a moment and said, "My lord is planning to attack the Song Empire."

Zhu Qi couldn't help but praise in his heart.Sure enough, those who were able to shine in the history books of the previous life are still dazzling in this world.

Zhu Qi went on to say: "Back then, the five kingdoms of the Western Grassland ravaged the Central Plains and destroyed the Great Zhou Empire. Only then did our Great Ming Empire take advantage of the situation. Although the Great Song Empire maintained the status of the country in decades of chaos, it also has a deep foundation. Exhausted, national power declines. Over the years, although the court of the Great Song Empire has been stable, the people and the world are full of turmoil. I plan to plan and plan in the Great Song Empire. If I can take advantage of the trend to annex the Great Song Empire, my national strength will definitely be Skyrocket."

As he spoke, Zhu Qi dipped his hand in the wine and drew a sketch on the table.

"When annexing the Great Song Empire, we can secretly send a large army westward to raid the Xixia Empire. The power of the Western Xia Empire is far inferior to that of the Great Song Empire. If we make some plans in advance, we can take Xixia into our arms."

Dao Yan looked excited and said: "After the Ming Empire occupied the Western Xia Empire, we could not only train a large number of cavalry, but also divide the western grasslands to form a pincer attack on the Qing Empire, the Great Yuan Empire, the Khitan Empire, and the Great Jin Empire. As long as we can To block the grassland's counterattack, our Ming Empire can recuperate for a few years, and then we can first destroy the Dajin Empire, the Khitan Empire, and then the Dayuan Empire and the Qing Empire, and dominate the western prairie."

"With the western prairie as the backing to train cavalry, and half of China as the foundation to support the people, our Ming Empire can conquer the Tang Empire in the east, and the Great Qin Empire in the north. If the two countries are destroyed, the Han Empire will naturally be nothing to worry about. I will beg for surrender early. At that time, my Ming Empire, with the power of most of China, will definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu and let the Xiongnu perish."

Zhu Qi nodded, seeing the whole leopard at a glance, Dao Yan is really powerful!
Zhu Qi smiled and said: "The most important thing in this plan is the Song Empire and the Xixia Empire. I plan to let you go to the Song Empire to manage the layout."
