Chapter Thirteen My Master is Busy

"Wu Ming? Why did you give such a strange name?" Zhu Neng asked in confusion. Zhu Neng was Zhu Neng. If you don't understand, you asked him about this. I was very strange just now, why did Ergou have such a strange name, and now Wu Ming appears. He also wanted to give a strange name, such as Zhu Nengtou.

"I was also very surprised at the time why the master was called Wuming, but later the master told me that the name was just a code name. Although Wuming had no name, any word was his name. Shan was his name, water was his name, and fire was his name."

Hu Ye admired his ability to make up randomly. If he had these abilities in his previous life, he would not have been able to be an editor, and he would not have been able to find a job.

"It turns out that he is an expert in the world. His perspectives on foreign objects are different. I really want to see Master Ling, so I can witness the master's style with my own eyes." Zhu Di said after taking a sip of tea.

I said a lot just now, so I was very thirsty, but the tea was cold. Zhu Di really wanted to ask someone to change a pot of hot tea, but considering what I was going to talk about next, he gave up this idea and continued to drink herbal tea.

"He is very busy and doesn't stay in the mountains all year round, so all my knowledge is learned through the books he left behind." Hu Ye knew that these people wanted to meet his master, but how could they get what they wanted.

"Oh, I wonder what he is busy with?" Daoyan and Zhu Di asked in unison.

Hu Ye always thought that only those people in later generations like gossip, but today he has seen it. People like Zhu Di are so gossipy. It seems that there will definitely be no fewer gossipy people in the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, he is so busy, such as how to get from Nanjing to Beijing within two hours, how to pick the stars in the sky, how to prevent and control smallpox, etc. So he is very busy, so I only see him on three sides during the years he has followed him." Hu Ye continued to talk nonsense.

In the eyes of Zhu Di and others, these things are impossible to solve. Only in this way can they feel the mystery of their master.

"I felt Beijing from Nanjing for two hours? This is impossible. Even if Hong Ling was in a hurry, it would take a day and a night to pick the stars in the sky? That is a method that only gods can do. It is even more impossible. Even the best imperial physician in the palace is helpless. Let the master turn into a foreigner and do some false things. Could it be that you were really taught by your master?" Daoyan was very surprised after hearing Hu Ye's words.

In his opinion, there are no one else who does these things except madmen. But he doesn't believe that a madman can teach an apprentice like Hu Ye.

"Master, we can't say that no one can do things we can't do. I heard from the master that someone only took an hour from Nanjing to Beijing, so he thought of taking two hours to try it. My master also said that someone had been on the moon, so he wanted to pick the stars in the sky and take a look."

Hu Ye knew that Daoyan was already a well-educated person among these people, but in his opinion, what he said was impossible. So in the eyes of Zhu Di and others, it was something that only a madman could do.

"Amitabha, it seems that I am a monk who has lies. If Master Ling really accomplishes these things, he will surely become famous all over the world. I hope the little donor will recommend it to me at that time." Daoyan said sincerely.

"It's easy to say." Hu Ye felt very accomplished and coaxed these ancient people around, as if they felt pretty good.

"Since Master Ling is very busy, I won't ask Master Ling to go down the mountain. Now tell me what kind of white hat you are wearing." Since there is no hope of asking Master Hu Ye, Zhu Di will not make any decisions about him. Anyway, it's not bad to have him as an apprentice. Daoyan said that this son could be with someone.

"Before you speak, please ask His Highness the King of Yan to confirm something." Hu Ye looked serious, as if the next question would be a very serious question.

"What's the matter, you said."

"His Highness of the King of Yan, since ancient times, the winners have been successful, the defeated, and the losers have been doomed. Have you really thought about it? If you really embark on this path, you will never have a chance to turn back, you can only go straight to Huanglong."

"But your Highness ever thought that it might be your father or your nephew, both flesh and blood. Does Your Highness really dare to take the blame for the world and raise an army? If you fail, the entire Yan Prince's Mansion will become your burial, and even your fiefdom will be implicated. At that time, Your Highness will become a great sinner."

"Even if it is successful, how can Your Highness block the people of the world? Emperor Taizong of Tang said that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If you are not recognized by the people of the world, what can you do if you become an emperor? Emperor Yang of Sui was a hero, but he wasted the people's wealth and he built the Grand Canal all over the world and launched troops to attack Goryeo, which caused complaints from the people and the people were living in poverty. So his dream of emperor was shattered. Did Your Highness ever think about where the people in the world would be if the trouble broke out?" Hu Ye asked.

"You said this, I have been thinking about it all these years. What makes me hesitate the most is this kind of family affection. When my father was there, I would never have caused trouble. Because I knew that he must be guarding against our kings, and there are so many vassal kings in the world, I think I am the only one who dares to go against my father's wishes. As long as the father's orders, he doesn't need his father's army to deal with me, my brothers alone can tear me apart."

"So even if you want to revenge, you will have to wait until your father dies. At that time, I am probably not the only one of the vassal kings in the world. If you revenge, you may get the support of my brothers."

"But my elder brother was very kind to me back then, kind and loyal, but unfortunately he died young. If he was still alive and the throne was inherited by him, I would only work diligently to guard this fiefdom, but his son would ascend the throne in the future, which made me very confused." Zhu Di sighed and said.

"As for the people of the world you mentioned, although the world is peaceful now, everything is in ruins, and the annual income of the court is only a few million taels."

"But my fiefdom is that everyone has food to eat and everyone has clothes to wear. Under my management, I am definitely not worse than the people of the Tang Dynasty when Emperor Taizong of Tang. And my fiefdom every year accounts for one-tenth of the Nanjing treasury, and even more than the wealthy lands in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas."

"So once the incident is uprising, the people in my fief do not have to worry, they will never be dragged into the quagmire of war. As for the people in the world, they will hope that a wise king will lead them into a prosperous life, rather than having a life without a meal." Zhu Di said confidently.

"Oh, it seems that Your Highness has been planning for this matter for a long time." After hearing Zhu Di's long speech, Hu Ye had to admire Zhu Di's scheming.

I'm afraid that he couldn't bear to seize the throne of his nephew, but could not find a suitable excuse.

"Oh, how about planning? It's just a leisurely and idle thing on weekdays and random guesses." Zhu Di waved his hand and denied Hu Ye's guess.
