Chapter 722 Dou Mi En Sheng Mi En Enemy
When you don’t give much kindness to others and others can repay it, it is nothing and will deepen the friendship between the two parties.
But when you give too much kindness to the other party, so much that the other party cannot repay it, and it is even difficult for you to repay it even if you give everything to yourself, this is very difficult for the person who has received the kindness. A lot of pressure.
Favors need to come and go and help each other to continuously deepen the relationship. However, when one party keeps giving and the other keeps asking for more than can be repaid, it will be difficult to eliminate the favor.
And this is a relationship between ordinary people. When such a situation occurs between monks, or between people who are becoming more and more powerful and whose interests are getting deeper and deeper, it will become even more deformed.
This is the case between the Ming Dynasty and Pei Xuanjing today. Pei Xuanjing's existence has helped the Ming Dynasty too much. Even if the entire Ming Dynasty is hollowed out now, it may not be able to repay the kindness given by Pei Xuanjing.
Such a situation is very terrifying, especially for Zhu Houcong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It was Pei Xuanjing who pushed him to ascend to the throne and become the emperor of the Ming Empire. Later, he became Pei Xuanjing's registered disciple. With the help of Pei Xuanjing's power, he completely controlled the court and secured the throne.
Pei Xuanjing also taught him the method of refining the gods, allowing him to embark on the path of spiritual practice. Later, he promoted the Ming Empire to be promoted to a divine dynasty, helping to stabilize the situation of the Ming Dynasty and allowing the Ming Dynasty to develop and grow step by step, providing a platform for him and The Ming Dynasty protects people from wind and rain, what a kindness this is.
Zhu Houcong knew about this situation, as did many ministers and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and Pei Xuanjing, one of the parties involved, also knew about it.
But now that the matter has come to this, even if Pei Xuanjing deliberately wants to downplay the matter, it is difficult to get rid of it for a while.
He knew that his existence had a great impact on the Ming Dynasty, which put a lot of burden and pressure on these people, so he wanted to eliminate his influence.
But it’s useless. As he continues to grow stronger, he will unconsciously envelope all of this. This is something that no one can change.
“This is a difficult situation to solve.” Zhu Houcong sighed in his heart more than once.
Zhu Houcong is not someone who knows how to repay kindness, but besides himself, he is also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Pei Xuanjing does nothing, he still has such an irrepayable kindness and such kindness. The pressure was on him all the time, making it difficult for him to relax.
Therefore, he wanted to break away from Pei Xuanjing's protection, want to repay Pei Xuanjing's kindness, and wanted to eliminate these kindnesses, but he couldn't do it. This was a dilemma.
"But this warning is meaningless." Zhu Houcong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "At least in my heart, I have never thought of falling out with Master Pei."
He was indeed attracted by Pei Xuanjing. He has endured a lot of pressure for his kindness, but he is not an ungrateful person. He believes that the way to eliminate Pei Xuanjing's influence is for both parties to break up.
So, even if he continues to grow stronger, what he wants to do is to repay with his own strength. It is not like the leader of the Witch God who speculates that he wants to break up with Master Pei.
Not to mention the kindness he has endured from Pei Xuanjing, let’s talk about the current situation between heaven and earth. Even though the Ming Dynasty is powerful, the situation it is in is not stable. Choosing to turn against Pei Xuanjing will not do any good to the Ming Dynasty. , but losing Pei Xuanjing's protection and confronting Pei Xuanjing would make the situation worse for the Ming Dynasty, which was not in his interests. "Sometimes, what Your Majesty thinks is one thing, and it also depends on what others think." Wu Shijiu said meaningfully.
Having been with Zhu Houcong for decades, he thought he knew the leader of the divine dynasty quite well. In Wu Shijiu's view, Zhu Houcong's attitude towards the national master Pei Xuanjing was actually very complicated.
Zhu Houcong is more like a child who has been cared for and cultivated by Pei Xuanjing. Now that the child has grown up and become stronger, he wants to break away from the shackles of his elders, is unwilling to succumb to their wings, and wants to prove to the other party He is strong enough to be independent.
However, this is only known by those who know Zhu Houcong relatively well. For others, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong should have been the only one who commanded the world, but the existence of Pei Xuanjing , his influence has a great restriction on Zhu Houcong and limits Zhu Houcong's rights. There is no doubt that under such circumstances, it is natural for the two parties to go their separate ways from close cooperation.
"." Zhu Houcong was silent when he heard what Wu Shijiu said. Apparently he also thought of this.
What Zhu Houcong and Wu Shijiu, who were talking about Pei Xuanjing in the imperial city, didn't know was that Pei Xuanjing had already arrived in Tiandu Taoist Temple.
Pei Xuanjing is not clear about everything that happened here, but why he has lived on Shenxiao Mountain for so long over the years is because he realized that he could not stay in Tiandu for a long time. He tried his best to To eliminate his influence on the Ming Dynasty.
However, even if Pei Xuanjing consciously reduces his influence, these things still inevitably exist, and not only do they not weaken, but they become stronger as his strength increases.
Pei Xuanjing couldn't laugh or cry about this situation, and in the end he could only let it develop on its own, but he still minimized the need to travel to Tiandu as much as possible.
This time of retreat is not short. As the dean of the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing cannot remain indifferent to the development of the Taoist Academy. Even though he trusts Qingyangzi, the vice-dean, very much. Due to emotions and reasons, he also needed to inquire about the affairs of the Taoist temple after leaving the customs.
"I'm sorry to trouble you over the years, but if you hadn't been in charge of the affairs of the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple would not have developed so rapidly." Pei Xuanjing said to Qingyangzi with a smile.
The people under Pei Xuanjing’s command today can be roughly divided into two branches. One is the Shenxiao sect from which he was born, and the other is the Taoist temple founded by Pei Xuanjing.
The forces of these two lines were established by Pei Xuanjing himself, and they all relied on the rise and development of Pei Xuanjing'er. However, the forces of these two lines did not have much overlap, except that they were both under Pei Xuanjing's command. Neither side interferes.
For the disciples of Shenxiao Sect, they are the followers of Pei Xuanjing’s rise. Similarly, Pei Xuanjing was also born in Shenxiao Sect, and then as the resurgence leader of Shenxiao Sect, he should naturally be a disciple of Shenxiao Sect. To respect.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, the people of the Taoist Academy come from all kinds of backgrounds. Whether they are the principals or teachers of the main courtyard of the Taoist Academy or other branches, they are not the direct descendants of Pei Xuanjing. There are more It was a group of people who gathered because of Pei Xuanjing's existence.
