The door opened, and the four disciples of Slokumo, Dolga, Potala, and Chahai rushed out of the door. I saw Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen Monk still standing solemnly in front of the door of the meditation room.

Shrokumo said, "Changzhi, the master let you go in alone. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, pushed open the door of the meditation room, and walked into the inner room.

I saw Pu Feng sitting cross-legged on a large futon, his eyebrows lowered. Wan Yan Changzhi knelt down on his knees and said respectfully: "Disciple see Master." Then he kowtowed four times, then got up and sat down on another futon on Pu Feng's side, waiting for Pu Feng to speak. This is the rule of the temple, and whoever sees the chief after the bow can sit down and talk to the elder.

Pu Feng slowly opened his eyes and said, "Changzhi, are you really forced to seize the throne this time?" With your intelligence, you won't be forced to this point by Wan Yan Yungong at all. ”

Wanyan Changzhi's body was shocked, and if Pu Feng's eyes were smart, he would see through the essence of the matter at once. In fact, when he was dismissed by Wanyan Yungong, it was a trick at all, and it was he who deliberately went to the table to oppose the pro-conquest of Western Xia, which angered Wanyan Yungong and asked him to dismiss him. If you want to keep your official position, there are actually many ways. Even the four major disciples of Shrokuma, Doljia, Potala, and Chahai didn't see this, but they were told by Pu Feng, who had just come out of the customs.

After asking this, Pu Feng's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Wan Yan Changzhi, waiting for his answer.

But Wanyan Changzhi was also very calm, and said: "The master is really looking at it, and he can't force such a situation, it is indeed deliberately created by the disciple." But please ask the ancestor to learn that the disciple's move is by no means greedy for the throne, but for another reason. ”

Pu Feng nodded and said lightly: "Then talk about your reasoning." ”

"Master Mingjian, although Zhao Chen, the king of the Southern Song Dynasty, is young, but he is quite resolute and wise, and he has only been on the throne for seven years. Nowadays, among the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Yanzhi, Liu Heng, Wang Yan Laocheng are serious, Xin Qiji, and Fan Chengda are determined to forge ahead, all of whom are capable officials who govern the world and do good things for the country. Among the generals, Li Xianzhong and Li Bao are strong, Bi Zaiyu, Cao Xun, and Gao Zhen are brave and good at fighting, and there are such strange materials as Yang Yan, who can be described as Ming Jun and virtuous ministers, both civil and military. In the past seven years, Dali and Pingxi Xia have been harvested, thousands of miles of land have been expanded, and Mongolia has been connected to make enemies of our Dajin. Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty all have a feud with our Dajin, and they will inevitably be like fire and water, and they cannot coexist. If I can't do it, it will be destroyed by the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongol alliance. I don't know if the master is the same as the disciple's opinion. ”

Pu Feng said: "You are right, but what does this have to do with your behavior? ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said with emotion: "Master, although Wan Yan Yungong is a great golden monarch, he is really a mediocre person of intelligence, far from being comparable to Emperor Sejong. If it is in peacetime, he may be able to do nothing, but at this time, with his intelligence, how can he fight against the Southern Song Dynasty. It's not that the disciples boast, looking at the top and bottom of Dajin, except for the disciples, who can resist the enemy of the Southern Song Dynasty? ”

Pu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Although the tone is a little bigger, it doesn't make sense." But can't the gentleman of mediocre intelligence assist and must replace him? ”

"If it's just mediocre intelligence, as long as you can let go of the appointment of talented people, make the best use of your talents, and do your best, you may not be able to keep the foundation of Dajin." Therefore, the disciple tried to tempt him, if Wanyan Yungong could trust the disciple like Sejong, then the disciple would definitely do his best to help him sit on the throne, reject Mongolia in the north, and resist the Song Dynasty in the south. It's a pity that Wanyan Yungong not only can't trust his disciples, but also trusts Wanyan Baisa, Zhang Wenshou and other villains, away from the virtuous ministers, if he continues to mess around, this golden Jiangshan Sheji, I'm afraid that sooner or later it will be buried in his hands. The disciple is also a descendant of Emperor Taizu, so he would rather bear the infamy of rebelling and seizing the throne than sit back and watch the foundation created by the Emperor Taizu be destroyed. That's why he raised an army and seized the throne. ”

Pu Feng nodded and said, "Although all these reasons you said seem to be very sufficient, can you say that in your heart, you don't have any thoughts about the throne at all?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said calmly: "If you say that there is nothing to think about, it must be against your heart." What's more, the disciple is the descendant of Emperor Taizu, and this great gold country should also have a disciple. But the disciple's words are definitely sincere, if Wanyan Yungong can trust the disciple as much as the previous emperor, then the disciple will definitely do his best to help him sit on the throne. It's a pity that the world is unsatisfactory, ten constants. Therefore, the disciple had nothing to say. The position of emperor is not granted by heaven, only the capable can get it. Now that it has been snatched by the disciples, if someone can snatch it away again, the disciples will never complain. The disciple's words are all here, and they all listen to the master's ancestor. ”

Pu Feng was silent for a long time before he said: "Do you know why I have never asked about the world in the past ten years. ”

Wan Yan was stunned, and still said: "The ancestor studied heaven and man, how could he be burdened by mundane things. ”

Pu Feng snorted and said, "Excuse me, what studies of heaven and man, what ignores mundane things, all of them are fart talk." ”

Wanyan Changzhi couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that Pu Feng, who had always been respected by himself as a celestial, would actually burst out foul language. I was also a little stunned for a while, and I didn't know what to do.

Pu Feng smiled coldly and said, "Is it strange? The ancestor can also scold? In fact, the ancestor is also a human being, and that person will not scold others. I don't care about anything, because Daikin has never been on the verge of losing the country, and I can't let you put all your hopes on me, you must know that I am also a human being, and I will also die, if Daikin puts all his hopes on me, what will you do after I die, who will you rely on? ”

Wanyan Changzhi's body was shocked, and he finally understood the meaning of Pufeng, the older generation of Jurchens have always respected Pufeng like a god, and with Pufeng, it is as if there is a backbone in their hearts. But Pu Feng is not a true god in the end, he also has the day of death, and even has the possibility of being defeated by others. If all the Jurchens pinned their hopes on Pu Feng, once Pu Feng died or was defeated, then how huge the blow to the Jurchens' hearts was, and it was not impossible to say that they were in a state of depression.

And Pu Feng saw through this, and he ignored mundane things for decades, and even didn't care about things like Yan Liang's usurpation, just to make the Jurchens gradually get used to life without him. Then the blow to the Jurchens after his death will be greatly reduced. It can be said that Pufeng's approach has been fruitful, and although the younger generation of the Jinguo still respects Pufeng very much, they don't have the same dependence on the scriptures as before.

Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi also has to admire, Pufeng is indeed a person with great wisdom, but why did he suddenly say this to himself today, Wanyan Changzhi's heart suddenly moved, suddenly understood, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you ......"

Pu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, everyone has to go through it, how can I hide from it?" The deadline is coming, and it's probably just this year. ”

Wanyan Changzhi never thought that Pufeng only had less than a year to live, he had been studying art in Huining Temple for more than ten years, although he could only see Pufeng once a month, but his reverence for Pufeng was by no means ordinary, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and called out "Master" again, knelt on the ground from the futon, and couldn't help sobbing.

Pu Feng smiled and said: "Changzhi, life and death are fateful, everyone will have this day, can't you still see through it?" I am over 100 years old, and I think that my life is extreme, and even if I die, I have nothing to regret. Then he waved his hand and said: "Although your behavior this time is a little selfish, it is not unreasonable, you are ready to ascend the throne when you return to Zhongzhong, and I will let your uncle participate on my behalf." ”

Wan Yan Chang's heart was excited, Pu Feng naturally would not attend his enthronement ceremony in person, but sending the four disciples under the door was enough to show the world that he supported his attitude, although Pu Feng had retired for many years, and did not have the same influence on Dajin's government as he did back then, but after all, Yu Wei was still there, and he still had considerable influence on the older generation, and with his support, it would be of great benefit to his ascension to the throne and quickly stabilize the situation of Dajin. Therefore, he said, "Thank you to the master for becoming a disciple." Then he said: "Now that the national teacher is still vacant, if the master is unwilling to come back, the disciple wants the master to be the national teacher, I don't know if the master thinks it is feasible." ”

Pu Feng shook his head and said: "No, the state administration, the order is forbidden, it must be from the monarch alone, they are your uncle, if you become the national teacher, it will inevitably cause constraints on your administration in the future, so after you ascend the throne, there is no need to set up the post of national teacher, and I will also issue a strict order, in the future, all the disciples from Huining Temple cannot serve as the national teacher of Dajin, from now on, Dajin's national politics should be in your hands, and where Dajin goes, you will control it." This is probably the last we will ever see, and I will only say one last word to you. ”

The way of the end of the face: "Please make it clear to the master, and the disciple will listen to him." ”

Pu Feng said: "Take a step back and open the sky, if it really comes to the day when it is incomprehensible, you might as well abandon the Central Plains and retreat to Liaodong in order to follow." ”

When Yan Changzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he was puzzled, and he didn't understand what Pu Feng meant by this sentence. Although he also said just now that he knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to Dajin, Wanyan Changzhi was still confident that if he led Dajin by himself, he would definitely be able to get through this difficulty safely, and there was no need to retreat to Liaodong in order to plan for the future after tomorrow. Therefore, he couldn't help but say: "Master, what do you mean?" ”

Pu Feng smiled faintly: "This is the last thing I can do for you, you can go, from now on, you can do it yourself." ”

Wanyan Changzhi knew that Pu Feng would not answer his own questions, but let himself think about the answers, which was also Pu Feng's usual way of teaching for many years, so he respectfully kowtowed to Pu Feng four times, and said: "Thank you for the teachings of the master for many years, the disciple went." ”
