Heavenly Martial Arts - 211. Chapter 210 My generation is a ruthless person

After parting with Li Ruohai, He Heng traveled the mountains and rivers alone, rushing to Jinling, the capital of Daming at the moment, at an extremely slow speed.

After arriving at the Jinling, he did not hesitate and ran directly to the palace.

Although the guards in the palace are tight, but with He Heng’s ability, there is no place in this world that can stop him.

Although it was broad daylight, He Heng’s figure was shuttled in the palace, and there were many people coming and going, but no one could spot him.

After passing through the palaces, He Heng came to the Huagai Temple, where Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with political affairs at the moment.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is a person with a very strong desire for power, so he abolished the prime minister and regained the power of the prime minister, but because of this, he has to deal with the political affairs that should have been handled by the prime minister.

In fact, there are so many officials in a court, but it is because there are so many things that the emperor cannot handle by himself, so others need to share the burden for him, which also leads to the loss of power.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to strengthen the imperial power, so he took back the things that belonged to the prime minister to do it for himself, and also took back the power of the prime minister, but this also made him overworked and busy with various affairs all day, so for decades, No wonder he can’t live long.

Throughout the ages, the emperor has been known as Long Live, but there are only a few who can actually live past eighty. Although ancient medicine was not developed, any emperor did not gather all the resources in the world, and had the best imperial physician of an era to control their health, but few of them could live beyond eighty.

The fundamental reason is that the emperor’s position has to work too much, thousands of government affairs have to be handled in one day, and it is strange to live for a long time under the eternal age.

And Zhu Yuanzhang’s current level of work is several times that of the average emperor. Because his desire for power is too great, he naturally does not worry about others. He has to deal with more things personally, and his body has reached a limit.

He Heng sighed and waited quietly at the outer door when he saw the eunuch who came and went holding a lot of memorials.

After two hours, Zhu Yuanzhang finally finished reviewing all the memorials and let everyone go down and rest alone in the hall.

He Heng slowly walked into the hall, and his figure gradually emerged. He looked at the man in dragon robe, full of dignity and majesty in front of him with cold eyes, and he could still see a bit of what he looked like back then, but he was very old. .

Far away can still remember the scene when he was a little monk who couldn’t even eat at the beginning, but now things are different. As time goes by, who can be eternal?

No matter how rich you can be against the country, the beautiful people and even the power will be overwhelmed by the world, in the end there is no more than a touch of loess, and time is full of dust.

The so-called practice is to transform the essence of life, to go against this law, to jump out of the river of time, and to escape.

“Didn’t you tell you all to retreat?” Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes abruptly and noticed the shadow in front of him. When he yelled at him, he saw the figure clearly and stood up quickly.

“Master, how could it be you? You should inform the disciple earlier when you are here, so that I can arrange for someone to greet you with the highest etiquette. Just now I thought it was a palace lady eunuch.” Zhu Yuanzhang walked off with some surprise and joy. Long Chair, when he came to He Heng, he bowed and bowed.

He Heng hurriedly said: “You are now the prince of a country. How can you give this great gift to me, a mountain man, hurry up. And the poor road has never accepted you as a disciple, you don’t have to be like that.”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: “Chongba means becoming the lord of the world, and still being a master sitting down as a disciple. Without a master, there would be no me. Today, even though you have never accepted me as a disciple, in my heart, you will always be me. Mentor.”

He said this, praying three times in a row, and then stopped.

He Heng took a deep look at him, silently said his name, and sighed: “Your Majesty, you have a heart. Poor Dao can’t afford such a courtesy.”

Zhu Yuanzhang took He Heng to a table and solemnly said: “Master, you don’t need to say much, please come to your seat.”

He Heng did not refuse. After he sat down, Zhu Yuanzhang also sat down on his right hand side and asked with a smile: “Back then, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, I wanted to ask Master to be the national teacher, but Master did not want to go down the mountain. come here?”

He Hengdao: “Pan Dao has stayed on the mountain for a long time, so he is very quiet, so he came out to travel the world, passing by the capital, naturally I want to take a look at you.”

“So that’s the case.” Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, “In the opinion of my disciple, you should have come down the mountain long ago. Daming, the beautiful rivers and mountains are not all your masters and disciples? What can be good in that mountainous land, don’t come here. Enjoy the glory and wealth.”

He Heng looked at him and said: “Chongba, you know what you mean, but I am committed to the heavens, so I really shouldn’t be greedy for the world.”

Seeing He Heng’s cold expression, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly changed his words: “This is the idea of an apprentice, a mediocre person. The master is a master of Taoism, with a glorious breeze and a vacant outlook, and he really shouldn’t be in a mundane place.”

He Heng nodded gently, and asked, “I wonder if you are doing well these days?”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: “I am the prince of Ming and the world is in my hands. How could it be bad.”

He Heng smiled suddenly, looked at him coldly, and said silently: “Really?”

He Heng’s pupils are dark and deep, like a vast starry sky, suffocating people.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s complexion changed, and then he smiled bitterly: “Sure enough, everything can’t be hidden from you, Master!”

He sighed, and then said, “Although Tu’er is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he still has a lot of troubles, and it’s hard to sleep well every night!”

He Hengdao: “Since ancient times, how much power you have has to bear how much responsibility, this has never changed forever.”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: “In this position, I have to guard against others seizing power at all times, even if it is my loved one, I must kill without mercy if necessary. Almost anyone in this world, at any time When coveting this dragon chair, I can hardly find anyone I can trust, and I can only spit my heart out only in front of the teacher.”

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang and He Heng said a lot of things. There were all kinds of trivialities and important events related to the world. They talked for more than an hour. During this period, He Heng didn’t say a word, it was all he was narrating. .

Finally, when he finished speaking, He Heng sighed, “Chongba, you are old!”

old? Indeed, only the elderly will have so much to say, and the young will only keep things in their hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile and crying expression on his face, and sighed: “Master, you are right. Chongba is really old, and he has no ambitions of the year. He just wants to make this country stable and complete his life. In the end. But even such a pursuit is difficult to achieve. Yun Xi’s temperament is soft, and it would be so-so to be a defensive monarch, but helpless Di’er is too good. After I die, I am afraid that no one can suppress him! After a period of civil unrest, the country that has finally settled down may be in chaos again, and Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu will also have to be eliminated one by one.”

“If I was young, these things could be solved one by one, but now, I can’t hold on for long! In this world, except for such transcendent and sanctified existences as Master, who can be young and immortal? .”

He Heng looked at him and said, “The rise and fall of the world is the way of heaven, why should you think more, everything has its own destiny. No matter how much you think, you can’t escape a sentence. People are not as good as heaven.”

“It’s not as good as the sky?” Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and waved his hand: “There are some things that I have to do while sitting in this position. I have to think, even if it is inhumane, it has to be so.”

He Heng silently looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a little haggard in front of him. He didn’t say a word. He knew that the other party just needed a target to vent, and he spit out the pain in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang said a lot more intermittently. Suddenly he asked: “Master, you said that if I had not chosen to be the emperor and practiced in seclusion with Jingan, would I be very happy now?”

He Heng did not answer, this question could not be answered.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly again: “All of this is unsuccessful. If it weren’t for this throne, how could Jing’an’s fairy-like character intersect with people like me, and I am worthy of her? Because of this, I would rather choose to follow her arrangements and embark on such a path, just for the sake of her.”

With that said, his gaze quietly looked at He Heng, and he sighed in his heart: “Everyone says that the emperor is ruthless, but compared to you, how is my emperor ruthless? Jingan, Jingan, why are you not? Choose me? Master, why are you waiting so mercilessly…”

…

“That day, it was the first time I saw him, on the top of Wudang Mountain! At that time, I followed some martial arts seniors to visit him.”

“I remember that it was Wudang Dongyan, under an ancient pine. When I turned my head, I glanced lightly and just saw him appear under the tree. The breeze blew by, his hair fluttered, and a strand of purple air rose. The figure seemed to be nothingness. At that moment, I seemed to see something that I had pursued in my life!”

“It’s like that the masters of the past dynasties of my Zhai have set the way of heaven as the goal, but there has never been a person who can achieve that state. Although I tried to get close to him like moths to the fire, I couldn’t touch him at all.”

“He is a true heartless person, or he is no longer a human being, but a fairy god in the sky, visible but not touchable.”

In Cihangjingzhai, under an ancient pine, Yan Jingan lay quietly in Qin Mengyao’s arms, muttering constantly in her mouth, looking at the sky in the distance, silent for memories and nostalgia.

As if returning to the light, she suddenly took out three letters in her arms and handed them to Qin Mengyao who was grieving.

“This is left to you, Bing Yun, and him separately. After I die, you must pass it on to them.”

Qin Mengyao nodded, looking at the letter that belonged to her, but was stopped by Yan Jingan: “Wait…I…after you die…you…look again…”

A breeze suddenly blew in the sky, and the branches and leaves of the pine trees shook, as if Yan Jingan watched obsessively back then, but his eyes were closed forever.

“Master!” Qin Mengyao roared sadly, and with a trace of tears, opened the letter that belonged to her.

…

In the Forbidden City, after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang’s painful recount, He Heng walked straight out of the palace and looked at the low sky, with a sudden smile.

“What does the love and hate of the world have to do with me?”

“Waving tails and begging for God’s way, my generation is a ruthless person.”

In the laughter, He Heng’s figure moved further and further away.
