Chapter 247 Emperor Jianwen's Request! Princess Yuanping!
Chapter 247 Emperor Jianwen's Request! Princess Yuanping!
Back in the palace.
Chen Fan was not in a hurry to return to the Imperial Horse Stables.
He hadn't read a book in a long time.
I plan to visit the library.
When passing by the Imperial Garden.
Chen Fan ran into an acquaintance again.
This person was none other than Emperor Jianwen.
Dressed as an old fisherman, he was fishing at Tai'an Pond.
I bumped into Chen Fan without even realizing it!
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward when the two met.
Chen Fan glanced at it twice and then decided to pretend he hadn't seen it and leave.
But then Emperor Jianwen stepped forward and said:
"Master, are you still angry with me...?"
"Your Majesty, what makes you say such a thing..." Chen Fan said with a stern face:
"If there's nothing else... we're going to read a book..."
"Master...Master...Wait a minute..." Emperor Jianwen, having lost his imperial demeanor, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him:
"I know you're busy... but I still want to talk to you..."
Chen Fan was speechless.
He glanced at Emperor Jianwen, then could only sit for a short while.
In this moment.
Emperor Jianwen spoke at length about many things.
It concerns the development of Dayuan, and also the formations of the imperial city.
It's mostly about the Changchun Sect.
Chen Fan listened for a long time.
He discovered that Emperor Jianwen still wanted to pull him onto the Dayuan warship!
However, he still shook his head and said:
"You've covered up the matter of the Imperial City's formation for me... that's just my duty... As for the Changchun Sect... I won't get involved, I hope Your Majesty understands!"
Emperor Jianwen remained silent!
Seeing that his master was still unwilling to help Da Yuan, he couldn't help but question him:
"Master... there's something I don't understand... the late emperor bestowed great favors upon you, so why can't you think about the future of Dayuan?"
"Your Majesty is too kind..." Chen Fan said, squinting his eyes.
"The Hongwu Emperor was good to us... so we saved you... this is repaying a debt of gratitude... if we're being honest... His Majesty still owes us this time..."
The words had barely left his mouth!
Chen Fan turned and left!
Emperor Jianwen, stunned in place, swallowed hard, momentarily speechless.
He looked slightly helpless as he watched his master's departing figure.
However, it's better to avoid trouble.
As long as his master doesn't make things difficult for Da Yuan, it's a good thing for him!
Thinking about these things.
Emperor Jianwen continued fishing and meditating.
After leaving the Imperial Garden.
Chen Fan headed straight for the library.
On the way.
He seemed slightly agitated.
During a conversation with Emperor Jianwen.
Chen Fan heard a familiar name.
Princess Yuanping!
It has been many years since we last met.
Chen Fan still remembers the little girl's voice and appearance.
In particular, the golden bowl was a gift from Princess Yuanping, and only he knows the extent of the cause and effect behind it!
According to Emperor Jianwen.
The internal strife within the Changchun Sect has escalated once again!
Under the leadership of the new sect leader.
The Changchun Sect split into two factions: the old and the new.
Princess Yuanping was one of the new faction members!
She was exceptionally intelligent and possessed a remarkable talent for cultivating immortality.
In recent years, he has been highly valued in the Changchun Sect and has gained considerable influence.
The fact that Da Yuan was able to cultivate immortality this time is naturally related to Princess Yuan Ping!
The Changchun Sect is currently in turmoil.
With Princess Yuanping's support, the royal family seems to want to take it a step further!
Thinking about these things.
Chen Fan felt that the royal family was far more extraordinary than he thought!
Over the years, they have made one move at a time, and it seems they are about to break free from the control of the Changchun Sect!
But even so.
Chen Fan still did not agree to join.
First, he knew the saying that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
Given the strength of the Changchun Sect, it is definitely not something that the Great Yuan royal family can handle!
Although the Qingyun Sect was backing him, Chen Fan saw it as akin to asking a tiger for its skin!
Secondly, the Daeyu royal family was ultimately too weak!
Whether looking forward or backward, the royal family has no one who can hold their own!
I recalled Xuanmiaozi's ruthless methods that night.
Chen Fan still remembers it vividly!
His intuition told him!
It seems that Daewoo is going to be in chaos again after the new year!
As for how chaotic it got, he had no idea!
Thinking and thinking.
Chen Fan quickly arrived at the library.
A sweep of divine sense.
Zhang Ru had been reading here for a long time!
There were no eunuchs inside.
Chen Fan swaggered in as well!
Beside the window.
Zhang Ru is examining the topography of the eight countries.
With his brow furrowed, he was completely unaware that someone was coming!
Just as I was engrossed in watching...
Zhang Ru suddenly heard a familiar voice:
"No matter how much you study the terrain of the eight countries... it's not as good as going out and seeing it for yourself! Talking about war on paper... is ultimately just empty talk!"
The person speaking was Chen Fan.
With a smile on his face, he picked up a book and started reading.
This startled Zhang Ru, who then closed the book and said:
"The territories of eight kingdoms span tens of thousands of miles... how could anyone possibly read them all..."
"So you can unify the eight kingdoms just by reading books?" Chen Fan asked with a smile!
Zhang Ru was stunned and fell silent instantly!
Seemingly lost in thought, he suddenly clasped his hands in a fist and said:
"Thank you for your clarification, Your Excellency... Zhang Ru will go and resign from His Majesty's service immediately..."
Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.
He was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect the person to actually take it seriously!
Too lazy to pay attention, he continued reading.
read more, walk more.
This trip to the State of Chu.
Chen Fan was filled with mixed feelings and confusion.
Unable to find answers outside, he could only seek them in books!
This took two hours to see.
After reading a book called "Gewu" (格物), Chen Fan suddenly understood.
The book emphasizes the importance of aligning knowledge with action in both personal conduct and professional endeavors.
The more you think, the more trapped you become!
Why not just do whatever you want and do whatever makes you happy!
It was after reading this sentence that I found myself.
Chen Fan has become much more knowledgeable over the years.
While refining elixirs in the grass valley.
In his pursuit of perfection, he adheres to strict rules in many aspects.
This almost caused him to suffer a qi deviation while refining the Qi Condensation Pill!
My mood was also greatly affected!
Now Chen Fan has figured it out!
Alchemy is a path that involves seizing the power of heaven and earth and defying the will of heaven!
If alchemy is done by simply following the instructions in the book, then he really can't do it!
Besides figuring this out.
Chen Fan also gained some insights into cause and effect.
This insight came from what I saw and heard on my way back to Dayuan.
This made Chen Fan realize that one should live in the present moment.
Otherwise, looking back and forth will only lead to more losses than gains and more regrets.
Only by being content with what you have now can you happily face tomorrow!
This is also a principle that Chen Fan learned from the book.
Although it is superficial, the principle is incisive!
He smiled, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and then put the book "Gewu" back on the bookshelf.
Chen Fan's mind has returned to peace.
He also walked towards the Imperial Horse Stables with his hands behind his back.
He hadn't been home for a long time, and he really missed it!
When passing by Tai'an Pond along the way.
Chen Fan deliberately walked a little further away.
Thinking of that brat, Emperor Jianwen, he doesn't want to see him at all right now!
while walking.
The Imperial Horse Stables arrived quickly.
The familiar gate, the familiar palace walls.
And there was that familiar smell of horse manure.
This made Chen Fan take a deep breath.
He lived here to be eighty years old, and he still likes to come back here to stay!
Step through the gate.
With his hands behind his back, Chen Fan returned to the house.
Pushing open the door, I saw the paper figure sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Seeing this, Chen Fan didn't disturb them.
Then, after scanning the area with his divine sense, he subconsciously wanted to go check out the horse pen!
But upon seeing the commotion in the kitchen, his expression changed, and he said:
"Little stool...you...you're so silly!"
