A smile flashed across Duopengke's face: "Very good, very good. It is not a good idea to fight Liu Yu with wits and courage. After all, he has Tao Yuanming beside him. It is also wrong to provoke Liu Yi and the high-ranking family to become his enemies.
We may not have the last laugh. If we don't defeat this person, it's hard to take full credit for our Ten Thousand Years of Peace Plan. However, your idea is very good. Liu Yu claims to be the savior of the poor. He wants to save the people of the world and realize his long-cherished wish for the Northern Expedition.
To maintain this reputation, if you provoke ignorant people to oppose Liu Yu's policies in the name of asking for leave, and have the secret support of a high-ranking family behind it, you can continue to cause big trouble to Liu Yu, and finally make him betray his relatives.
Nothing accomplished!"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "It is Yuanming's honor to be able to serve the lord's great cause and do the hard work of dogs and horses. However, this has to complete the first step of the plan, that is, this trip will be successful. Otherwise, in the eyes of the world, I will just be
A literati who writes poems and poems is just complaining. If Liu Yu wanted to kill someone like me, he wouldn't have too many scruples."
A cold light flashed in Doupeng Ke's eyes: "Since I came from thousands of miles away from the Jin Dynasty, I have to accomplish this matter, so don't worry. In addition, I will fight for you as the leader of the literary world when I go back.
"
Tao Yuanming was a little surprised: "For many years, the recognized leader of the literary world is Yin Zhongwen. When it comes to literary talent, this man is really outstanding, and I am not as good as him. Now he has also joined Liu Yu's shogunate, trying his best to curry favor. This literary world
Leader, I’m afraid it’s not something I can capture now.”
Having said this, Tao Yuanming paused: "Of course, the most important thing is because Yin Zhongwen is a child of a high-ranking family and has a very high reputation among the upper-class scholars. I am far away from all kinds of comments about this.
Yuan Ming understands the Lord's good intentions, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to accomplish."
Doupengke smiled and said: "If I can let you get the twelve counties of Nanyang this time, I will have a better way to let you sit on the position of the first scholar in the Jin Dynasty. You don't have to worry about Yin Zhongwen, I will take care of it."
A hint of joy flashed across Tao Yuanming's face, and he bowed his arms to his waist: "Thank you so much, Lord."
The cloaked guest waved his hand: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back early. Although Ming Yue is there disguised as you, but after a long time, if the Qin people suddenly come to visit, for example, let you go in at night
I'm afraid Mingyue can't handle things like Qin Palace."
Tao Yuanming bowed and stepped back: "I'll say goodbye to you, my lord."
When Tao Yuanming's figure disappeared in the forest, a horse neighed and the sound of horse hoofs gradually faded away. A cold light flashed in the cloaked guest's eyes. At some point, the slender figure in black robe stood behind him, cold and cold.
He said coldly: "I'm not wrong, Yuan Ming's scheming is no longer inferior to you and me."
Doupengke sighed: "There are talented people in the country, maybe it's time for you and me to quit. When the Ten Thousand Years of Peace Plan is successful, this world will be left to people like Tao Yuanming, Liu Yu, etc.
I just don’t want to worry about it anymore.”
The black robe said coldly: "You have been fighting with people all your life, and you are willing to let go like this?"
There was a trace of sadness in the eyes of the cloak: "I didn't believe that I would be willing to let go of everything, until I had a conversation with Kumarajiva just now. Such a hypocritical, insidious and cunning guy, in life and death,
In front of him, he could face it calmly. At that moment, he really wanted to die. Maybe, for him, death was really a kind of relief."
Heipao Ke sneered and said: "He has been translating these things about good and evil being rewarded and reincarnation every day. Over the past few decades, he has slowly come to believe it. This is not surprising. After all, he is not you. You can really not
Keeping those evil things in mind, maybe the people he killed are tormenting him every day, as well as the unsuccessful dream of ascension. He knows clearly that it is a lie, but he relies on this to comfort himself. That's how people are.
Strange things, the less you can get them, the more you want them. If you really have everything, you will feel extremely empty and lonely."
The man in the cloak curled his lips: "Are you talking about you, or are you talking about me?"
The black robe shook his head: "You and I once had everything, but for that sweet dream, we gave up everything we had and ended up like this. Do you regret it?"
Doupengke shook his head: "Never before, it was just a momentary realization. I was just thinking that if our ten thousand-year peace plan really succeeds, we will be like Kumarajiva, able to look down on life and death and be detached.
Everything?”
The black robe sneered: "Do you really think he is above everything? I don't think he is just looking down on life and death. There are still things he cares about in this world."
Dupeng Ke nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yes, in my opinion, those Buddhist scriptures are worthless, but they are things that are more important to Kumarajiva than his life. Now I
Only then did I realize that he just asked for death at my place, probably because he knew that I was extremely disdainful of these Buddhist scriptures and might take the initiative to destroy them, so he was eager to let me kill him. In this way, I have no interest in this place anymore.
I won’t do anything to his Buddhist scriptures.”
The black robe smiled slightly: "You finally figured it out. In fact, he was already prepared for this when he met you two years ago, because he knew that you would definitely come to him again."
The man in the cloak gritted his teeth: "I can no longer threaten a guy who doesn't even want his life. Maybe our original plan of relying on Kumarajiva to persuade Yao Xing needs to be changed."
The black robe said calmly: "Why change it? The Buddhist scriptures are the most important to Kumarajiva. As long as you make a fuss about it, he will eventually give in."
Doupengke sighed: "I have explored the Scripture Pavilion several times, and Yao Xing has indeed spent a lot of money. We are short of manpower in Guanzhong, and it is impossible to find reliable killers in a hurry. If we want to storm the Scripture Pavilion, it is almost impossible.
Maybe, and even if we succeed in the sneak attack and burn these scriptures, Kumarajiva will be even less likely to cooperate with us. We will have to find another way."
The black robe smiled slightly: "Actually, your idea was wrong from the beginning. You always thought of making a fuss about the Sutra Pavilion itself. However, if you change your mind, if Yao Xing no longer protects the Sutra Pavilion of Caotang Temple, what will happen?
How?"
Doupengke's eyes lit up: "What do you mean..."
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "Whether it's Fu Jian or Yao Xing, the reason for inviting Kumarajiva to Chang'an is to use his reputation for his own benefit and to persuade the people to be virtuous and do good deeds and not to be enemies of the imperial court. However,
, if on the other hand, the living Buddha from outside takes over the throne, and his reputation is higher than that of the emperor of Qin, then..."
The man in the cloak turned around and left, and his voice of gold and iron came from far away: "I know what to do now, old friend, thank you very much!"
