Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 140 Yao Guangxiao's Enlightenment

"Hahaha! This is the art of slaying dragons! This is the truth of the world!

There are no real dragons in the world! There are no real dragons! "

"Old monk! What the hell are you doing? We were just chatting happily, but you lost your mind!"

Inside a temple, Daoyan, who was originally sitting on a cushion and meditating quietly, seemed to be in a state of loss and was laughing crazily.

The black cassock he was wearing was torn off, and the cloth was torn to pieces on the ground. In the messy environment, Zhu Di stood up and controlled Yao Guangxiao at any time and place to prevent the old monk from rushing outside and causing unnecessary impact.

Yao Guangxiao's inverted triangle eyes, like those of a sick tiger, suddenly opened and stared at Zhu Di, causing Zhu Di to feel a chill down his spine.

He vaguely felt that there must be something wrong with the old monk's mind.

Time goes back to an hour ago.

After Zhu Di, Yang Chen and his elder brother left the study, he separated from the two. He took the silk book and went to the Governor's Mansion to find his father-in-law in person.

Seeing the seal on the silk book, Xu Da didn't waste any words and immediately dispatched these cavalrymen, asking them to wait for orders anytime and anywhere.

After dealing with military affairs, Zhu Di returned to his residence and shared the news with Xu Miaoyun.

As his concubine's wife, Xu Miaoyun naturally hoped that he would tell Yao Guangxiao as soon as possible, as Yao Guangxiao was now his aide.

At that time, Zhu Di went to inform Yao Guangxiao with this idea in mind, and later casually mentioned the matter of Yang Chen teaching his father the dragon-slaying technique.

Unexpectedly, just a few words made Yao Guangxiao go crazy.

This has caused the current crazy appearance.

Faced with Zhu Di's vigilance at this moment, Yao Guangxiao remained unmoved, but tore off the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Dozens of Buddhist beads fell to the ground without warning. Facing the Buddhist beads that he usually twisted, Yao Guangxiao did not show any sadness.

Instead, it was very quiet, so quiet that it was a little scary.

"Haha. I understand. I realized. I misunderstood him."

"Who?"

“There is no such thing as a man of destiny in this world, nor is there a true dragon emperor reincarnated, nor is there any innate wealth.

Only deprivation! Only exploitation! Only oppression! "

"What nonsense are you talking about, old monk! Who are you talking about? Could it be him?"

Yao Guangxiao ignored Zhu Di, which made Zhu Di a little crazy.

"The world has moved for hundreds and thousands of years, and many nations have perished, but the people remain.

The economic base determines the superstructure. The reason why the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous today is that it has destroyed the Northern Yuan Dynasty and is developing and restoring new productivity.

When new productive forces emerge, if the superstructure of the Ming Dynasty cannot adapt to the new productive forces in time, then the Ming Dynasty will perish!

Hahahaha!

I misunderstood him, I misunderstood him!"

After saying that, Yao Guangxiao recalled the time when he first met Yang Chen and he advised Yang Chen not to let the Ming Dynasty go down a path of no return.

Now it seems that the person who actually led the Ming Dynasty to destruction was himself!

At first, he thought that Yang Chen encouraged the Ming Dynasty to develop productivity just to satisfy the hatred in his heart.

Before meeting Yang Chen, Yao Guangxiao didn't know Yang Chen at all, but during the first few minutes of communication.

Yao Guangxiao clearly felt that Yang Chen had hatred towards a certain country, but in fact he was not really accurate.

We can only guess that there must be a certain purpose behind Yang Chen doing this.

So he relied on appearances to guess that Yang Chen did it for his own selfish reasons.

But now, at this moment, Zhu Di told him the two moves of dragon slaying technique.

Only then did Yao Guangxiao clearly realize how short-sighted he had been.

Yang Chen is not doing this for his own selfish reasons, he is doing this to promote world harmony!

He is fighting for the dream in his heart that he has never seen come true!

Looking at Yao Guangxiao, who was once his best friend, falling into a state of delirium, Zhu Di's Adam's apple rolled and he took a step forward with gritted teeth.

"Old monk, are you okay?"

Hearing this, his inverted triangle eyes stared at Zhu Di deeply.

"Amitabha, Shanzhai is good, Your Highness, I am fine. I just realized the truth from your previous words and understood how shallow I am. The misunderstanding between Yang Xiaoyou and me has finally been completely resolved at this moment. I am convinced by what Yang Xiaoyou has done and I admire him very much. I bow down to him!
If there is a chance, I would like to meet him again with courtesy. "

"What! Wait for the following! Old monk, are you crazy? Brother Yang is indeed very powerful, but he would not let you make such a decision!
Do you know what you are talking about? "

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao in astonishment, and couldn't figure out why the other party did this.

Yao Guangxiao, who is proficient in the doctrines of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, can summarize the different advantages and disadvantages of the three schools on his own, and possesses all the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty, is a powerful person that everyone outside desires to meet.

As his subordinate aide, and given Yang Chen's generous affirmation, Zhu Di knew very well that this old monk had his own pride in his heart.

Even though he was once retorted by Yang Chen with a few words, Yao Guangxiao's pride still supported him and he did not think that he had lost to Yang Chen.

Why am I convinced now?
This huge change caught Zhu Di off guard and he didn't understand why.
Because of two sentences?
Zhu Di just felt a little dazed.

Without waiting for his response, Yao Guangxiao continued:
“Friend Yang comes from the future, and the future can develop many magical things.

I originally thought that even after a few decades or hundreds of years, this land would not change much.

But I was wrong. The future development was beyond everyone's expectations.

From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to discover the mystery of the rise and fall of dynasties.

Some people say that the people suffer when a dynasty prospers and when a dynasty perishes. Others say that the people of Qin had no time to mourn themselves, but later generations mourned them. If later generations mourned them but did not learn from them, later generations would also mourn later generations. There are countless books and literatures like this that draw on examples of previous dynasties as experience, but there are almost no people who can truly understand the past and present.

These two sentences said by Yang Xiaoyou are the only secret since the birth of mankind and the birth of dynasties.

Once you understand these secrets, you will be able to create a dynasty with your own hands and overthrow the rule of a dynasty.

Thousands of years ago, humans were ignorant. The leader of the first tribe gradually gained wisdom and comprehended the principles of heaven and earth, thus dividing people into high and low classes.

From then on, during the reigns of Yao, Shun and Yu, tribal productivity developed and agricultural planting allowed civilization to be born.

The Xia Dynasty established a slave dynasty, the king! The army, nobles, common people, slaves, from high to low, from few to many.

Why are people born into slavery? Why don't they know how to resist?

Due to insufficient productivity, the means of production were controlled by a few people, and the king became their only leader, who distributed food and decided everything about the direction of the dynasty.

The dragon-slaying technique is not aimed at the head of the dynasty, but at the despicable villains who control the producers.

They know they can't control forever, but for their own selfish reasons, these despicable people will do everything they can to extend the time of control.

When the day comes when the producers come to their senses, these people will suffer a crazy backlash, just like Your Majesty!" Yao Guangxiao spoke passionately, as if he saw through everything. In his eyes, these were just games of power.

"Old monk, what you mean is that my father, who was once a dragon slayer, will become a dragon in the future!
Do you know what you are talking about? "

“Humph! I didn’t say that. I believe that Your Majesty will not become an evil dragon, but your descendants may become evil dragons.

The day when the evil dragon appears will be the day when the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!"

Yao Guangxiao responded with great force, and Zhu Di stared with wide eyes and asked loudly:
"Then what do you want? Since we will all be destroyed in the future, do you want to give up our alliance?"

His mind had never been clearer.

Zhu Di calmly analyzed what Yao Guangxiao had just said, and combined with the knowledge he had learned from his interactions with Yang Chen these days, he tried to help Yao Guangxiao recover from his inner demons.

"Old monk, don't forget that it was you who came to me and said you wanted to give me a white robe. Now I have military power, authority, and status! Even my goal has been determined!
All I need next is an east wind, and I’ll be able to soar up to the sky!

I was just about to tell you this good news, but you turned around and told me that there are no real dragons in this world and everything in this world will repeat itself.

If so, what is the purpose of human life? As a scholar, what is the purpose of all the skills you have learned?
This world is cruel, people are divided into different classes. Why can't I be in the top third?

Some are smart while others are dull, some are geniuses while others are fools. Do we have to destroy everything and make everyone equal?
ridiculous! Ridiculous!
Brother Yang also told me that although the imperial system was abolished in later generations, people are still divided into high and low classes, which is an indisputable fact.

You must know that people are controlled by greed from birth. If you prevent a baby from breastfeeding, the baby will cry loudly; if you take away a child's toys, the child will reach out to grab them.

Human nature is like this. You don't want there to be a leader in this world. Do you think it's possible?"

Zhu Di didn't even think about what he was saying. When he came to his senses, he realized that he could actually say such rigorous and logical words!

It’s simply unbelievable!
When Yao Guangxiao heard this, his heart, which had been trembling with excitement, suddenly calmed down, like a fire being extinguished by a basin of cold water.

He frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly:

"What happened today was too sudden. I can't understand it for a while. If it makes Your Highness embarrassed, I hope Your Highness will not mind it."

Seeing that the other party had finally calmed down, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and smiled:
"Old monk, what Brother Yang said may seem abstruse, but in fact, it is still in accordance with human will.

He often said that people should focus on the present and not rush to jump before learning to run.

At this point, you and I are both players in the game, and we are no longer just chess players outside the chessboard."

Daoyan knew very well that he had no control over his current situation.

The moment Zhu Yuanzhang knew him, his fate was sealed.

But when he comprehended the rise and fall of the dynasty and the fate of the people, he was a little confused for a moment.

"Your Highness, I have a request, and I hope Your Highness can satisfy it."

"Master, you are too polite. Just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely help you."

The fact that Yao Guangxiao could make a request to me meant that he had returned to normal and I didn't need to worry.

Strike while the iron is hot and say a few words of casual words quickly. Otherwise, if it is too late and Yao Guangxiao continues to go crazy, that would be really bad.

Dao Yan, who had calmed down, spoke slowly with a calm look in his eyes.

"I want to discuss this with you again. Or rather, I want to learn from him. I want to learn the knowledge of the future and improve my broken state of mind."

As one of the most intelligent people of this era, before Yang Chen appeared, Yao Guangxiao could be said to have satisfied the spiritual and material pursuits that ordinary people want to obtain throughout their lives.

Spiritually, he learned the strengths of three schools of thought and hundreds of schools of thought. From commanding troops to cooking, there was nothing he didn't know.

Materially, as long as he wanted, he could become a guest of honor of any ambitious person. Even if he failed, he could return to nature and become a wandering monk.

However, the basic principles of knowledge that Yang Chen brought with him from hundreds of years later allowed him to open a door that no one had ever touched before.

The glimmer of light that came from it made him see something completely different from what he had come into contact with in the first half of his life.

This attraction is to him like honey is to a bear.

Zhu Di didn't know how to respond to this request for a moment. Faced with those eager eyes, he could only nod and agree.

"Okay! As long as you don't go crazy, I will definitely let Brother Yang come over to have a conversation with you."

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yan!"

Palace study.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Zhu Biao bowed and asked:
"Father, why did you summon me here?"

Originally, Zhu Biao had already gone to find someone to ask Yang Chen to teach him, to see if the other party had any method that could enable a warrior to master 500 proficient fonts in a short period of time.

He also wanted to inform his father so that they could watch it together.

Unexpectedly, his father summoned him first.

On the stage, Lao Zhu said with some earnestness:
"Biao'er, today I heard that this bastard Yang Chen used some kind of primitive coking method at home to create something that can double the yield of food. It's called fertilizer?"

“So, Father asked me to come here for this matter. I wanted to wait until Yang Chen’s fertilizer could simplify the refining process before I told you in person, but I didn’t expect you to know about it in advance.

Yes, Brother Yang has indeed created a new process in his own mansion, and the effect of this fertilizer is very magical.

I have personally observed that vegetation that is fertilized with chemical fertilizers grows very quickly, and the number of ears of grain produced is more than that of vegetation that is fertilized with manure or urine.

It can be said that this fertilizer is very magical. Since Your Majesty has already known about it, would you like me to send someone to ask Brother Yang to bring some fertilizer over so that Your Majesty can take a look at it in person?"

Zhu Biao was still thinking about doing so, but Old Zhu raised his hand to stop him and said it was not necessary.

"No need. We asked you to come here today because we know the effect of this fertilizer. But Biao'er, do you know that fertilizer has magical effects?

If you want a good harvest of grain, you also need good weather.

Do you still remember what Yang Chen said, that one of the important external factors for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the Little Ice Age? "

"The Little Ice Age?"

Zhu Biao was stunned at first, then he suddenly thought of something and was shocked.

"Oh no! The Little Ice Age! Brother Yang told me that this is the factor that is driving the Ming Dynasty to its doom. It is God's intervention and cannot be stopped by human power.

How could I forget such an important thing? "

Zhu Biao knew how severe the Little Ice Age was, but he couldn't solve too many problems at once in a short period of time.

At the beginning, he was entangled with a lot of official business, and after he left, he could only solve them one by one.

There are still many things that have been left unfinished.

"Biao'er, don't worry. We asked you to come here today just for this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to signal, and Zhu Biao quickly sat down calmly.
