Chapter 429 Discussion
The three major organizations of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jinyiwei, and Liumen launched a purge storm across the country. Countless evil spirits were eliminated and the world was in turmoil.
However, none of this has much to do with Zhu Houzhao. He only cares about the results. He doesn't care about the process. How many people die from evil deeds is nothing more than a number.
In the Gewu Thatched Cottage of the Sun and Moon Academy, Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming sat face to face, making tea and discussing the general trend.
Wang Yangming is no longer the chief minister of the cabinet, but he is the person Zhu Houzhao trusts most after all. Therefore, whenever he encounters a difficult decision, Zhu Houzhao will still come to him for discussion.
Even though they are no longer monarchs and ministers, they are still close friends.
Wow!
Wang Yangming poured Zhu Houzhao a cup of tea with his own hands. The tea was green in color and fragrant. Just smelling the tea made him feel relaxed.
Bihai Changchun, grown in Dongting, is a different species of tea that is nourished by spiritual energy. Drinking it can refresh your mind, improve your eyesight, and soothe your body.
Zhu Houzhao picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, like a cow chewing peonies. He did not taste the Samadhi in the tea of Bihai Changchun at all.
Tea tasting is a very profound knowledge. Zhu Houzhao didn't understand it, and he was too lazy to spend time to learn it. He was already tired enough from dealing with government affairs, so he had no time to do some romantic things.
When Wang Yangming saw this, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Your Majesty, drinking tea like this is really a waste of this precious tea."
"Your Majesty is talented and intelligent. Even if you don't have to remind me, you will see through this level sooner or later."
Wang Yangming first confirmed Zhu Houzhao's concerns, then changed the topic and asked: "Your Majesty, do you still remember how old Huo Qiaoqi was when he went to war with Wei Qing?"
There are many famous generals in ancient and modern times, and there are many who have been conferred gods and saints, but Yue Fei is by no means inferior to any famous general in the past dynasties.
Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Yue Fei's performance in the previous war was remarkable. I want him to lead the Tiger Guards, but considering his age, I am a little hesitant."
Looking at his old partner, Zhu Houzhao sighed sincerely.
In the war against the dragons and elves, Yue Fei performed extremely well, fully demonstrating his superb military talent.
Even Zhu Houzhao couldn't see clearly how far he had reached. He could only vaguely feel that everything in the world was resonating with him.
He is overthinking it!
But this is not surprising, he trained Yue Fei single-handedly, and it is only natural to fear that Yue Fei will go astray.
At the age of seventeen, Huo Qubing followed Wei Qing to conquer the Xiongnu. At the age of only twenty-three, he reached the peak of military generals, drank from the vast sea of horses, and sealed the wolf in Xu.
A smile appeared on Wang Yangming's face, his temperament was as calm as water, and he added some tea to his tea cup.
Heaven and earth are with me, and all things are one with me. This is the realm where heaven and earth are one.
The world where the Ming Dynasty is located is also too low-level. If it were to be a higher world, with Wang Yangming's qualifications, it would not take a hundred years for him to set foot in the realm of Taiyi and pursue the illusory Daluo.
The last saint of Confucianism was a freak that God was trying to feed. His horror was beyond the reach of even Zhu Houzhao, who cheated all the time.
The newcomer he refers to is Yue Fei.
This Yue Fei is not that Yue Fei. The original Yue Fei went through a lot of hardships from his birth to his rise to fame, and his character and perseverance were fully mature. However, this Yue Fei, who was protected and trained by him, still had too little experience.
Huo Qubing, who was awarded the title of Champion at a young age and had outstanding military exploits, did not go astray. How could Yue Fei deviate from the right path? Could it be that the Yue Wumu he trained with his own hands would be weaker than others?
The only one who could help him see his confusion clearly when he was confused and unable to make a choice was Wang Yangming.
After relinquishing his position as chief minister of the cabinet, he settled down to enlightenment and seek truth. His realm became deeper and deeper, like an abyss with no bottom, like a mountain reaching straight into the sky.
"Everyone has their own preference for vegetables and radishes, but you can't force things in this world."
Back then, he brought the young Yue Fei back and asked the best gentlemen from the Sun and Moon Academy to give him lectures, hoping to cultivate an enhanced version of Yue Wumu.
Among the four great generals in the military, he had even decided early on that Yue Fei would have a place.
Of course, only in front of Wang Yangming, his confidant and best friend, would Zhu Houzhao frankly admit his shortcomings.
The moment the words came out of his mouth, he was stunned. After a while, he woke up from a dream and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, it's because of me!"
He and Zhu Houzhao laid the foundation of the Taiwu Dynasty together. Zhu Houzhao understood him, and he also understood Zhu Houzhao, and understood that Zhu Houzhao must have important matters to discuss here.
Youth is capital, but it is also a burden. If you are immature in mind and promote them rashly, what should you do if your path goes astray?
Zhu Houzhao did not want to see Yue Fei, whom he had trained with his own hands, end early due to his youth and vigour, and who had already been designated as one of the four military generals.
If you don’t understand, you just don’t understand!
Zhu Houzhao changed Yue Fei's youth and disrupted his destiny. It was unclear how far he could grow, so he was worried.
"Sir, he is an elegant man. He has a lot of knowledge in making tea and tasting tea. However, in my case, tea is just something to quench thirst and moisten the throat."
In front of his old partner, Zhu Houzhao did not hide anything and immediately stated his intention:
"I intend to promote a new person, but he is still young after all. Promoting him rashly may undermine his efforts and cause more losses than gains."
Wang Yangming revealed what Zhu Houzhao meant in one sentence.
If it were not for the lack of heaven and earth and the imperfect laws that could not carry the immortal way, I am afraid that Wang Yangming would have reached the realm of Confucianism and Immortality by this time.
Throughout history, there are too many examples of young people who were proud of their youth but ended up being bleak.
Zhu Houzhao blurted out without thinking.
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Wang Yangming asked softly: "Your Majesty is here, but you have something troublesome that you want to tell me."
"Seventeen!"
Yue Fei had also sought advice from him and was considered one of his students. Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao mentioned the newcomers he wanted to promote, he immediately thought of Yue Fei.
"I do have something I want to discuss with you, sir. I hope you can help me with the details."
While sipping the tea in the cup carefully, Wang Yangming said with an inscrutable expression.
"Your Majesty's concerns are not unreasonable. Young people are energetic and strong-willed, and it is indeed easy for things to happen."
"After listening to your words, I suddenly became enlightened!"
"Your Majesty is referring to Yue Fei, right?"
There were many young heroes in the Taiwu Dynasty, but the only one who could make the emperor Zhu Houzhao pay attention to him was Yue Fei. After all, most of the other young heroes were wandering around the world and had little to do with the court.
"It is good to become famous at a young age, but an unpolished sword is too fragile and can break easily!"
If it were anyone else who dared to tease him in front of him, it would be in poor taste. Let Liaodong Farm understand it.
Zhu Houzhao smiled softly, but he didn't feel that it was shameful to not know how to taste tea.
The reason is very simple, Yue Fei is too young!
"Exactly!"
Normally, promoting Yue Fei would be a matter of course, but at this time, Zhu Houzhao hesitated.
Drinking tea, reading, and teaching, these simple things made him become more advanced and elusive.
"ha"
Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Yangming: "Where is my good son Abao?"
It's been a long time since he saw Abao, and he missed his silly little bear son.
