Chapter 186 The dream came true too quickly, and some people couldn't accept it
Senile dementia?
Jealous of talented people?
The king’s selfish desires?
Ruin the human race and the Celestial Kingdom?
Zhao Ji had lived for more than fifty years and had never heard such an evaluation.
When he was young, some ministers thought that he only knew how to practice cultivation and did not understand government affairs, and was not worthy of being the crown prince.
When he was older, some ministers thought that he was indecisive, which allowed the people of Zhao to live too comfortably, resulting in a decline in grain production in Zhao.
Later, a group of ministers wanted to support Pingling Jun as the crown prince, accusing him of being autocratic and ignoring capable princes, but placing all his bets on a little kid.
He has been accused of many things.
But no one has ever said that he is stupid, and no one has ever said that he is jealous of talented people!
Furthermore!
What are the selfish desires of a king?
As a king, every word and action represents the entire country!
What I want is what the entire Li country wants.
If someone else says this.
He won't live past ten breaths.
But the person in front of him is the abbot of Taishang Temple, and also the chief disciple under the Taoist Saint.
Zhao Ji would not kill him, but it made him even angrier!
I cannot be called the greatest emperor of all time.
But looking at history books, he was at least a wise leader.
During his decades in power, the government was stable and the people were harmonious. Even though Wei and Han had their own ulterior motives, there had never been any major chaos.
Why do you say I am a tyrant?
Zhao Ji's eyes were slightly cold, but his smile was very bright: "Oh? Taoist priest, do you know what you are talking about?"
Taoist Qingxu smiled and said, "Of course I know!"
Zhao Ji's smile faded, and he asked again: "Does the Taoist priest know where this place is?"
Taoist Qingxu continued to nod: "I know!"
Zhao Ji took a half step forward and said, "Master, have you heard that I have done something that angered the gods and the people?"
"No!"
Taoist Qingxu said with a smile, he looked relaxed, as if he didn't realize how vicious his words were.
A hint of coldness flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes: "Since the Taoist priest knows nothing, why did he make such accusations against King Li in Chongli Palace?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"
Taoist Qingxu smiled and shook his head: "I am not accusing you, but making a bet! I naturally know that your majesty is a wise ruler. Since it is a bet, if I bet that your majesty has never done anything wise before, your majesty will not bet with me.
It’s better to bet on something interesting that you can lose at a glance.
Otherwise, how could I, a mere idle wanderer, trick His Majesty into gambling?"
Zhao Ji fell into a brief silence.
What this old Taoist said really makes sense.
There is basically no bet in this world that would make him take a second look.
The one in front of you is one.
Hundreds of Taoist disciples with second-grade spiritual fetuses.
Even if the Zhou royal family returned to its heyday, they would still be extremely greedy, right?
only……
When have I ever shown the appearance of a tyrant?
Or is it that the old Taoist priest is digging his own roots to send to me?
Old age and delusion...
Jealousy...
Zhao Ji frowned, but the coldness in his eyes had disappeared.
This was just a bet. Even though it contained endless irony, it was not an accusation against myself now.
If I get angry again, it would seem too petty.
He looked at Taoist Qingxu and said with a half-smile, "Master, what did you figure out?"
Taoist Master Qingxu did not answer directly: "Of course I have calculated it. The study of divination is very mysterious. You can't not believe it, but you can't believe it completely. Even the so-called great trend is not something that can be achieved.
If Your Majesty does not believe in me, there is no need to worry. Just be open to accepting Taoist disciples.
If Your Majesty believes me, I can’t say anything. If I make it too clear, what will happen if Your Majesty doesn’t want to bet with me? "
Zhao Ji couldn't help but burst into laughter: "The Taoist priest is really a wonderful person!"
"I don't deserve to be called a great master! I am just a greedy gambler!"
Taoist Qingxu smiled and waved his hands, urging him, "Your Majesty, tell me the truth. Do you accept this bet?"
Zhao Ji: “…”
catch!
Of course I want to take it!
How could you refuse hundreds of geniuses who were offered to you?
But before answering, Zhao Ji really wanted to ask, who are the "virtuous and capable" in this "jealousy of the virtuous and capable"?
Is this wise man the founder of the "Heavenly Kingdom of the Human Race"?
But he couldn't ask.
Because he knew very well who Taoist Qingxu was referring to!
I only have two years left to live, and I have only seen one wise and capable minister who can lay the foundation for the human race to become the Celestial Empire!
If you ask a question even though you already know the answer, you will be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
joke!
Would I be jealous of talented people?
If what you said is true, Ying Wuji is truly a wise and capable minister, so why should I be jealous of him?
This child is my beloved son-in-law. I treat him ten thousand times better than his own king and father.
How could such a good situation be ruined because of the king's selfish desires?
"Let's bet!"
Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said: "I didn't expect that the Taoist priest would come up with such a magical method to send his disciple to the court. I really admire him!
Taoist Priest!
I heard that Taoism has a mysterious method that can use the soul as a pledge to enforce a contract.
It is better to use it now, so that the Taoist priest won’t worry.”
Taoist Qingxu smiled and waved his hands: "Just a few volumes of books and a few disciples, do you still need such a trivial and mysterious method? Although I am not very famous, I have cultivated my Taoist heart for nearly a hundred years.
Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. How could you tarnish your reputation for just a few volumes of books?
The general trend is unpredictable, so we should just let things take their course.
If it is coercion, it is not good.”
Zhao Ji nodded slightly: "The Taoist is so righteous!"
