Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Fakong smiled: "How many princes should you choose to succeed? Your Majesty does not have many choices."

A lifespan of only three years means that the younger prince has no chance to grow up and succeed to the throne.

Now the only one who can succeed is the eldest prince.

The remaining princes have either been deprived of power, do not have enough talent, have evil intentions, or have extreme temperaments, and are not suitable to succeed to the throne.

In fact, according to normal development, the nineteenth prince Hu Houjun finally succeeded to the throne, the same Hu Houjun who played in the Vajra Temple.

Hu Lieyuan let out a cold snort.

The future that Fa Kong saw was inaccurate.

Fakong said slowly: "From what the Nineteenth Prince said, I would like to advise Your Majesty to change your mind."

Hu Lieyuan's expression suddenly changed slightly.

This Fa Kong!

Fakong shook his head and said: "The Nineteenth Prince is not even a good emperor. He is playful, arrogant, lawless, and regards rules as nothing. When he became emperor, Dayun collapsed even faster."

Hu Lieyuan frowned and said, "Jun'er is very talented."

Fakong said: "It is because he is too smart that he is like this. If the emperor does not rule the world, it would be okay. All his cleverness can still be used. After he rules the world, he will be extremely bored and will change his tricks. The tossing.”

Hu Lieyuan's face darkened.

Although he felt it was harsh, he knew that this was probably reality.

Being too smart can sometimes be a problem.

What Dayun needs is a loyal ruler. If Jun'er gets the throne, he won't cherish it at all, won't walk on thin ice, and will probably be a waste of money.

His face became darker and darker, and his anger accumulated.

Fakong continued: "Originally, the Eighth Prince was the most suitable. He has a gloomy and forbearing temperament. He can keep his composure and keep his career. It's a pity..."

Hu Lieyuan snorted angrily: "Fakong!"

Fakong looked at him with a smile.

Hu Lieyuan gritted his teeth and said, "You came here to make me angry on purpose, right? You want to make me angry to death so that the world will be at peace."

Fakong laughed: "Your Majesty, still can't understand?"

"What I am thinking of is the long-cherished wish of our ancestors."

"That's just a long-cherished wish. In fact, it's just a goal that the emperors of all dynasties have given themselves, so that they can raise their spirits, so as not to live a life of mediocrity and lose their energy." Fakong shook his head and sighed: "The position of emperor is both supreme power and power. Enjoyment is actually very boring.”

Human desires are divided into levels, first material, then spiritual, going up one level at a time. Once one level is satisfied, there will be another level up. There is no limit to desire.

But for the emperor, there are far fewer desires to obtain. If he continues to abide by the rules of his ancestors, it will be boring.

It is clear that the power is unparalleled, and he can enjoy so much, but he still has to review hundreds of memorials every day.

If you don't want to be a foolish emperor, an emperor who is reviled by your ancestors, you can't be lazy. It's simply torture.

If this hard work does not bring enough sense of accomplishment, it will be even more torture.

Therefore, the Dayun Emperors of all dynasties gave themselves a goal to strive for. With this goal, they would not be a foolish emperor, but would have the motivation to work hard and make their lives more meaningful.

As a result, this goal has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a long-cherished wish, deriving stronger motivation and a stronger sense of glory.

"You are the first to say that about the emperor." Hu Lieyuan laughed.

There are probably very few people in the world who have such insight and feel that being an emperor is boring.

Everyone in the world envied the emperor's power and thought it was good to be the emperor, but they didn't know that everything was a combination of yin and yang.

Being an emperor is certainly wonderful, but it is also extremely boring, and it is easy to become depressed.

I stay in the palace every day. Even though the place is splendidly decorated and filled with beauties, I still find it boring after looking at it for a long time.

I really wanted to go out for a walk, but I was always stopped by the courtiers.

When the emperor leaves the palace, the risk is too high. There are too many assassins outside. With the prosperity of martial arts in the world, who knows where there is a top master who wants to assassinate the emperor.

Both of them are too shocking and expensive, and will also leave people exploitable, causing endless trouble.

It is best for the emperor to stay in the palace obediently. Even if he wants to leave the palace, he cannot leave Yunjing City.

As an emperor, he is no different than being in jail. He is imprisoned in Yunjing City and cannot get out. He lives without the freedom of a commoner.

Common people do not have glory and wealth, but as an emperor, he has glory and wealth but loses his freedom.

Whichever one is missing will be considered precious. As an emperor, he often has the idea that he would rather not be an emperor and just be an idle prince, at least more free.

Fakong smiled and said: "Your Majesty should also know that no one in the world can live a satisfactory life. They all have regrets and dissatisfaction. The so-called unification of the world is not feasible in the first place."

Hu Lieyuan shook his head: "Don't fool me, why is it not feasible to unify the world?"

"Your Majesty actually understands." Fakong smiled.

Hu Lieyuan fell silent.

How could he not have thought about what would happen after unification? After all, it seemed at the beginning that unification was within easy reach, it was just a matter of choosing when.

Unexpectedly, with the variable Fakong, things in the world have also changed, leading to the current situation.

He believed that this was only temporary, and after all, Dayun would be more dominant and able to dominate the world.

Then after unification, how can I avoid becoming a faint king, and how can my ministers avoid living in inaction.

It is indeed difficult and requires exploration step by step.

But he never doubted whether he should dominate the world.

Fakong said: "After unification, it will fall apart in less than a hundred years, and the Hu family will be wiped out. Your Majesty uses his hundred years of life to exchange for such an ending? ... I advise your Majesty to think about it carefully."

Hu Lieyuan frowned and stared at him.

Fakong smiled: "I never lie."

"Humph, this time may not be the case." Hu Lieyuan said: "I don't lie at ordinary times, but I tell a big lie at the critical moment. It's hard to guard against."

Fakong shook his head and laughed: "Whether you believe it or not, it's all up to your majesty. That's all I have to say. I'll take my leave for now."

Hu Lieyuan waved his hand.

Fakong made a tenth salute and disappeared without a trace.

Hu Lieyuan's face was uncertain.

He couldn't wait to drive Fakong away because he was moved and convinced by Fakong.

If Fakong said a few more words, he felt that he had no power to resist, so he agreed to the conditions and chose a hundred years of life.

He paced on the steps with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky from time to time, looking at the distant horizon, and looking at the dense palaces in front of him.

Fakong appeared in Xuankong Temple in a flash, standing in front of the Sutra Library in the temple, his eyes directly penetrated the obstacles of the building and saw Hu Lieyuan's situation.

He saw every move and every subtle expression of Hu Lieyuan, and shook his head and smiled.

He was very sure that Hu Lieyuan would eventually choose Shouyuan.

Putting Shouyuan aside and choosing the great cause of unification of Dayun, such a choice requires great courage and goes against human instinct.

He found a step for him, so that he could choose Shouyuan naturally, which not only complied with the instinct of survival, but also did not feel guilty and ashamed.

The best of both worlds.

Hu Lieyuan suddenly stopped, sighed, and turned to enter the hall.

Fakong smiled.

The overall situation has been determined.

Hu Lieyuan's choice has finally been determined, and the general trend of the world has also been determined, and he can rest completely.
