Chapter 2391 The Master's Intentions
Shao Yunduan has great respect for this old tutor who is like a guiding lighthouse in his life.
No matter what the old man is like, he always treats him as a teacher.
However, the deceased prince was his mentor's beloved disciple, but he is now gradually seizing the Qin Empire, which makes him feel somewhat ashamed to face his mentor.
But he couldn't change his mind...
Shao Yunduan's expression became a little complicated.
Xie Jingrong seemed to see his dilemma and said, "The old master has been obsessed with Buddhism in recent years. He was ordained in front of the Buddha a month ago and no longer cares about worldly affairs."
Shao Yunduan was shocked again: "How could it be——"
Xie Jingrong seemed to emphasize the words "no longer care about worldly affairs". Could it be that the Grand Tutor wanted to avoid the two "emperors" from looking for him? He didn't want to make things difficult for them, and he didn't want to make things difficult for himself, so he simply became a monk and escaped from this worldly world.
Indeed, if the prince of the Qin Dynasty sent someone to beg the old tutor, the old tutor would not be able to refuse. And if the old tutor asked me for something, how could I say it?
By then, it will be embarrassing and awkward.
Shao Yunduan knew very well how much the old tutor cared about the Crown Prince, but he did not expect that the old tutor would be so determined to break up with Daqin.
"Did...something happen to the old master in the northwest?"
Xie Jingrong smiled: "You are quite perceptive, that's exactly it..."
To talk about this matter, we have to start with the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince had lost a lot of land after being attacked from both sides and was feeling very angry. At this time, someone gave him an idea, saying that since it was certain that Old Master Yun was in the northwest, it would be better to send someone to invite him back to the capital and, by the way, win over the Northwest Army.
Old Master Yun and Shao Yunduan were not master and apprentice in name but in reality. If Old Master Yun spoke, would Shao Yunduan have to listen? Even if he didn't listen, he wouldn't dare to show it too obviously, right? At least he would be a little afraid of him and would have to make some concessions, right?
Reputation is very important now, both to him and Shao Yunduan, because it means how much people's support they can gain.
The Fourth Prince's eyes lit up and he cheered with joy.
It’s great that Old Master Yun is in the northwest!
The fourth prince was confident that the Northwest Army was the Northwest Army of the Qin Dynasty and guarded the border for the Qin Dynasty. The Northwest Army was naturally on his side. At least, they could not ignore his words.
The confident Fourth Prince could not wait to send his confidant to secretly go to the northwest to invite Old Tutor Yun to come to Beijing.
The Fourth Prince's delegation was overjoyed to find that Xie Jingrong was also in the northwest, so they warmly invited Xie Jingrong to go to the capital with them.
Naturally, Xie Jingrong could not agree to it, and Old Master Yun also declined.
It is true that Old Master Yun is loyal to the Great Qin, but the premise is that he is loyal to the Great Qin he identifies with. The Great Qin he identifies with is the former emperor and the former crown prince.
However, the late emperor passed away under unclear circumstances, and the late crown prince was also poisoned to death under unclear circumstances. When Old Tutor Yun first learned the news, he almost fainted on the spot and then fell seriously ill. He gradually recovered after two or three months.
Whether it was the death of the previous emperor or the previous crown prince, it must have been related to those princes. In addition, what they had done in the past few years was to fight for power and profit without any contribution or concern for the Qin Dynasty or the people. Even when the Northwest Army asked for food and grass support, they refused with excuses.
