Changsun Wujia did not comment on his words, but asked: "Then what do you think should be done?"
Chen Jingke said: "Find a more complicated place and let him manage it himself. It will not only allow him to accumulate experience, but also let him know the real situation at the grassroots level."
"Even if he makes a mistake, the damage will not be too great. Plus, with the protection of the saint, there is still a chance to make corrections."
Changsun Wugou said: "Everyone has a tiger in their heart. Do you think it is a good thing to release this tiger?"
Chen Jingke knew that this was the crux of the matter. No emperor was willing to share power with his son. Especially since Li Shimin came to power through rebellion, he was even more worried about this aspect.
Even though he asked Li Chengqian to help correct the memorial, and also saw off the army on his behalf, in fact he never let go of his authority from the beginning to the end.
It was useless to tell him about the relationship between father and son. He could only start elsewhere, so he said:
"If tigers are kept in cages and domesticated since they were young, they will forget their hunting skills. They will not know the dangers of the mountains and forests. How will they survive in the future? How will they frighten and control all the beasts?"
"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. If you covet the present peace, you will lose the future. If you want the future, you have to take a little risk."
"Does Your Majesty want the immediate comfort, or the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the next hundred years?"
Changsun Wugao argued: "The former Emperors Jing and Wu of the Han Dynasty also grew up in deep palaces. Didn't they also become promising kings?"
Chen Jingke countered: "There have been so many monarchs from ancient times to the present, how many are like these two? If we don't talk about anything else, why doesn't your Majesty find experience from yourself?"
"He has been working in the fields with the Queen Mother since he was a child. There is still a cave in Wugong County where he escaped from bandits when he was a child. When he was young, he went among the people and assisted the Emperor in governing Jinyang."
"I led troops to fight when I was just a teenager, personally led troops to charge into battle, and convinced the soldiers with practical actions. Only then did we pacify the Western Qin Dynasty, destroy King Kong of the Song Dynasty, and capture the two kings in one battle at Luoyang..."
"Crash..." A soft sound came from the next room. The sound should have been caused by the collision of cups.
Chen Jingke glanced doubtfully.
Changsun Wugou said calmly: "Continue talking."
Chen Jingke didn't know who was next door. He felt funny in his heart, but he pretended not to know anything and continued:
"Your Majesty himself is a fierce dragon that has fought many battles. Why don't you learn from your own successful experience when educating your son? Instead, you try to teach your son like a snake?"
"Can those who talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, and the way to be a king every day... who hang up books every day, can teach a qualified monarch? If they have this ability, do they still need to hang up books?"
"If you look through the history books, which promising man did not come out step by step, and which one was taught by books?"
"..."
"If you are afraid that Dalang will turn into a tiger, there are ways to prevent it. Just prevent him from touching the military power. I still don't believe that he can rely on a group of scholars to build... well, what?"
Changsun Wugou's eyelids twitched and he said, "It would be great if things were as simple as you think."
Chen Jingke said: "There are no simple things in the world. Don't forget that the Tang Dynasty is facing great changes unseen in thousands of years."
"Previous dynasties faced only a corner of the Central Plains. The most they could do was face off against the enemy in the north and explore the Western Regions."
"The Tang Dynasty faced the entire world, a world ten times larger than the Central Plains. Times have changed, and facing this brand new world, we can no longer use the old methods."
"What's more, these old methods are not necessarily correct. We should keep pace with the times with a pioneering spirit and find methods that are more suitable for the current and future situations."
"If someone as talented and strategic as Your Majesty doesn't dare to do it, do you think it's possible to expect future generations to resolve these conflicts when they break out in the future?"
Changsun Wugou shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a lobbyist."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Chen Jingke knew that today's topic was over. However, he had finished what he needed to say. If he continued, he would be repeating what he had just said, and there was no need to continue.
As for what Li Shimin will think, whether Li Chengqian can get the opportunity to go out for training depends on his own luck.
So after chatting for a few words, he resigned, but before leaving, he said one more thing: "We are preparing to publish Journey to the West."
Changsun Wugou had known about this for a long time, so he just nodded and said, "I know, just follow your plan."
Her answer was equivalent to obtaining permission, and Chen Jingke turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Li Shimin came back from next door and sat opposite Changsun Wugou with a solemn expression.
"Guanyin Maid, what do you think of his words?"
Changsun Wugou shook his head and said: "I don't know, but one thing Jing Ke is right about is that we are facing a major change that has not happened in a thousand years, and the old path may not work anymore."
This sentence has exposed her tendency.
Li Shimin naturally understood what she meant and said: "Jing Ke will really give me a difficult problem. I just confirmed the enfeoffment and I thought I could be quiet for a few days, but I didn't expect that he would give me such a big problem in the blink of an eye.
"
Changsun Wugou also understood that he was still hesitating, so he did not ask any more questions, but grabbed his hand and said: "No matter what happens, I will always stand with you."
Li Shimin held her hand with his backhand and said: "I am very lucky to have you, and lucky to have you."
…
This time, Li Shimin's reaction speed was not so fast. He had not seen any movement for half a month, and there was no relevant news.
Chen Jingke knew his difficulty, so he could only shake his head helplessly and did not mention the matter, but he soon had no intention to worry about it anymore.
Because Tian Shiwen finally had results, he finally convinced most of the factions to take the initiative and launch an attack on Buddhism.
Although the remaining factions did not agree, they also expressed their willingness to attach themselves to Jiwei as long as Zixiaoguan participated.
So Tian Shiwen found Chen Jingke again and told him his plan: "... Zixiaoguan only needs to sit in the middle, and each of our factions is responsible for launching the attack, and everyone will share the pressure of Buddhism."
Chen Jingke was very satisfied with the result, but he still did not speak, but looked at Wu Shu.
Wu Shu's expression did not change significantly. He seemed to be dissatisfied with this condition and said: "Journey to the West needs to be published anonymously. No one is allowed to reveal to outsiders that it was written by a real person of my family."
"This..." Tian Shiwen couldn't help but hesitate. Chen Jingke had a special status. If Journey to the West had his name on it, he could write a lot of articles.
If you are anonymous, there are many methods that you cannot use. The key is what if Zixiaoguan quits halfway?
Wu Shu also guessed his concerns and said: "As compensation, every issue of Wang Yue Tan will publish a chapter of Journey to the West until the finale."
Tian Shiwen's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, I agree."
Needless to say, the influence of Wang Yue Tan can make up for the shortcomings of Chen Jingke’s anonymous publication of Journey to the West.
In this way, both parties finally reached an agreement on this matter. This was a happy result for everyone, and Chen Jingke was naturally very happy.
Journey to the West, which is even more difficult to give birth to than Nezha, is finally coming out. It’s just a pity that it needs to be published anonymously, which makes it less fun.
However, for the sake of his own safety, he should remain anonymous. He did not want to become the number one assassination target of Buddhism.
This is not meant to discredit people. People can do anything for their faith. Not only Buddhism, but Taoism as well.
Now if someone told Tian Shiwen that if you kill so-and-so you can suppress Buddhism, he would do it without hesitation.
Afterwards, Chen Jingke invited Sun Simiao out to preside over the meeting. Seeing this, the remaining sects finally agreed to participate.
Then comes the specific plan.
Originally Ben Shiwen's plan was to publish Journey to the West directly and then use Taoist temples and Taoist priests all over the world to promote it.
But Chen Jingke put forward a new suggestion, saying: "First publish it in the form of a series on Wang Yue Tan, and continue to serialize it to the chapter of Havoc in Heaven..."
"These chapters are very exciting. I believe they will attract a large number of readers... When readers' curiosity is piqued, we will stop serializing and publish the book directly..."
"Those who are seduced by the plot and want to watch the follow-up plot will definitely find a way to buy it. This can save us a lot of promotional time and get twice the result with half the effort."
"Pah." Li Chunfeng clapped his hands and sighed: "What a great idea. What a great idea. Moreover, these chapters do not involve Buddhism and will not arouse their vigilance."
"Even if they see it, they will only think that it is a myth written by me, the Taoist, to promote myself, and they will not think of anything else."
"While taking advantage of this period, each of our families and factions must do our best to publicize the story of the turmoil in the Heavenly Palace, and spread this story to the ears of everyone in the world as quickly as possible."
"Then if we publish the whole book, it will be too late by the time Buddhism reacts."
Cheng Xuanying sighed secretly. Although he did not agree with attacking Buddhism, he had no choice at this point. He knew the consequences of being unsociable, not to mention that the emperor was suppressing him.
Everyone knows that the Chongxuan Sect is close to Buddhism. At this time, he must be more active, otherwise he will definitely arouse suspicion.
So he took the initiative and said: "There is also a smallpox vaccine, which is also a powerful tool to promote our Taoism and attack Buddhism."
Tian Shiwen glanced at him, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Sun Zhenren is a medical sage who has been reincarnated and there are countless living people. We should make his name famous."
Sun Simiao smiled bitterly. This was not helping him become famous. This was using him as a spearman.
But he also knew that this was inevitable, otherwise this Taoist leader would be in vain.
After a day of consultation, everyone came up with a specific offensive strategy. Then the leaders of each faction returned to their respective spheres of influence with the plans, waiting for Mochizuki Tan to sound the clarion call of attack.
As for their original purpose of coming to the capital, because the imperial court is still formulating the relevant rules for enfeoffment, there will be no progress for the time being, so there is no need to continue the discussion.
The most important thing right now is to suppress Buddhism.
Zhang Tongxuan, as the current Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, naturally had to go back to take charge of the overall situation, and Zhang Ping had to go back with him.
It's not that she can't stay, but her identity and the pride in her heart don't allow her to stay.
If she stays, she will be just a person without status, and her status is even lower than that of Yi Nu and Yuzhu. If she leaves, she will be Chen Jingke's confidante, with an independent and transcendent status.
Chen Jingke also understood this truth, so he did not hold her back and sent her on the return carriage again.
Time has come to February 15th before we know it, and the new issue of Mochizuki Tan will be released as scheduled.
Qiu Yangbai is a senior reader of Wangyue Tan and must buy every issue. If he doesn't grab it at the time, he will find a way to buy it from others, even if he pays a high price.
Later, because he often went shopping, he became familiar with the bookseller. The bookseller would leave a copy for him in every issue, which saved him a lot of trouble.
This time he once again successfully obtained the latest issue from the bookseller. As soon as he bought it, he noticed that this issue was much thicker than usual.
This situation is rare, but it does happen occasionally, usually when some important article or invention appears.
So what is the reason for this issue?
He couldn't wait to open the catalog, and sure enough he found an anomaly at the very end. There was an additional catalog called Journey to the West.
Journey to the West? Could it be a travelogue? It wouldn't be a record of a trip to the Western Regions, right? Then we should see what the Western Regions are like. Thinking like this, he turned to the end.
However, when he read the text, he was surprised to find that this was no travelogue, it was clearly a legend about gods and monsters.
At this time, it was not on the stage and was not taken seriously by others. Qiu Yangbai was very curious as to why Wangyue Tan published such a story, or what was there about this story that deserved an exception?
With this curiosity, he continued to read.
The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. The richness of imagination in this story is really surprising. What about Nuwa's Sky-Mending Stone, which turned into a stone monkey after hundreds of millions of years, and what alarmed the Jade Emperor in Heaven...
He never thought that the story could be written like this.
Naturally, he was attracted by the story and couldn't wait to know what happened to this stone monkey.
Then came birth, old age, illness and death, and the Stone Monkey went out to seek immortality.
Qiu Yangbai couldn't help but worry about him. Will the outside world be dangerous and dangerous? Can he survive and find the fairy mountain?
However, the subsequent description once again exceeded his expectations. It did not describe the dangers the stone monkey encountered, but instead focused on the interesting things he caused after entering human society.
Makes people happy.
After laughing, the climax came again. The stone monkey finally found the "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xie Yue Sanxing Cave" and worshiped the ancestor Bodhi as his teacher...
At this time, Qiu Yangbai had completely forgotten his original purpose and was completely attracted by the story.
I was happy that the monkey had learned true skills, felt angry and unfair that he was expelled from the school, and was excited that he became a sworn sworn sworn disciple of the Seven Great Sages.
Until he ran out of life and was captured by the underworld and ended abruptly.
Gone? Looking at the wording of the next episode, Qiu Yangbai was angry. The critical moment was gone. Aren't you guys cheating?
Damn it... you guys are just out of line dogs.
He shouted a familiar word more than a thousand years in advance.
