Chapter 139 Invitation to Discuss the Dao, the Test of the Aristocratic Family! (Subscribe)
Think about it and you can understand.
Since Li Wendao has such a lofty ambition, how can he be willing to be inferior to others?
Not to mention that Yang An is only the prince of Daqian, even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor of Daqian, it is probably difficult to accept him under his command.
Not to mention accepting him under his command.
It is probably difficult to get the other party's recognition.
Not only does Wang Taifu know this, but even Yang An can imagine it.
In this regard.
Yang An said that everything depends on fate.
Although Li Wendao is a peerless talent, Yang An has never thought of accepting him under his command.
He has no hoarding habit.
Whether Li Wendao is a peerless talent or not has nothing to do with him.
The most important thing is that Yang An does not think that Li Wendao will be a good talent for governing the country, and he does not think that the world will not be able to operate without Li Wendao.
Even if Li Wendao does not appear, he has the confidence to reform the old and establish the new, and the world will be governed, so that he can become the unprecedented and unparalleled martial arts emperor.
Of course, this is not that Yang An deliberately looked down on Li Wendao.
Rather, since ancient times, there have been saints, especially Confucian saints.
Let them study, study rituals, laws, and philosophy.
They will definitely be successful.
But you let them govern the country?
That's a joke.
Think about Confucius's travels around the countries in his previous life. The only country that valued him was Lu, and he almost caused a big mess.
From this, you can know what these Confucian saints are like in governing the country.
To put it bluntly.
Knowledge is knowledge, rituals are rituals, philosophy is philosophy, being an official is being an official, and governing the country is governing the country.
It doesn't mean that if you have good knowledge, know rituals, and understand philosophy, you can be a good official and govern the country well.
So Yang An really doesn't like Li Wendao at all.
Even if Wang Taifu strongly recommends him, he is not interested.
After all, in his opinion, if you want to really govern a country well, you definitely don't rely on a certain person, but a complete national system.
This national system includes but is not limited to administrative system, legal system, economic system, educational system, taxation system, commercial system, military system, scientific research system, etc.
With the administrative system as the main body, the legal system as the root, and the economic system as the branches, a glorious empire was eventually created.
The so-called profound knowledge, outstanding wisdom, etc.
It's like saying that a martial arts first-grade Tianren Grandmaster is a fool.
In fact, let alone a martial arts first-grade Tianren Grandmaster, even a martial arts third-grade Shenbian Xiaoguan master, his brain computing efficiency is thousands of times higher than that of ordinary people, and he has a photographic memory.
If they are willing to delve into a certain field, they will definitely become a master figure in a certain field.
Even if they can use all their thoughts on being an official and governing the country, who can't become an excellent political talent?
So it's not that Yang An looks down on Li Wendao, a peerless talent praised by Confucianism as a seed of a sage for thousands of years, but that ordinary upper third-grade warriors are more cost-effective.
The reason why the Daqian Dynasty could not make good use of these top three warriors was nothing more than the lack of a good talent selection system, plus the obstacles of the aristocratic families and sects.
As long as he could sweep the aristocratic families and sects, and then formulate a good talent selection system for the empire, he would not be afraid of not having talents to use.
In this way.
Why should he stick to someone cold, and it must be Li Wendao?
And Yang An also felt that Li Wendao's true meaning of the saint was unrealistic and too illusory.
A little celestial warrior who had not even reached the realm of martial arts immortals actually wanted to become a saint of the heavenly way and be on par with the sky.
This is not a joke.
The saint of the heavenly way.
What a great existence.
Even if Yang An had the assistance of the blood-colored evolution crystal, and the memory and wisdom of his previous life, he did not dare to have such an idea.
You are just a little celestial warrior who has not even fully understood the essence of the way of immortal martial arts, and has not jumped out of the shackles of ancient immortal cultivation, yet you dare to dream of becoming a saint of the way of heaven.
Are you crazy, or is this world crazy?
Yang An kept complaining in his heart, and turned a deaf ear to Wang Taifu's recommendation, as if he had not heard it.
"Your Highness, this old minister came here this time, and was also entrusted by that Li Siye."
"This time, Shangyin Academy sent people to Tianjing City to watch the ceremony, and the person who came was Li Wendao."
"He has a very good evaluation of Your Highness, and believes that Your Highness has the posture of a real dragon and the appearance of the sun and the sky. When he is almost a year old, he will be able to save the world and the people, and become the unprecedented and unparalleled Shenzhou Martial Arts Emperor, so he wants to discuss the way with Your Highness."
Seeing that Yang An was unmoved, Wang Taifu could only show his cards.
At the end, he did not forget to use a bewitching tone to tempt: "I think this is undoubtedly a great thing for Your Highness."
"If Your Highness can respect the wise and humble, subdue Li Wendao, and take him under his command, not only can you get a talent to assist the king, but also let Your Highness's reputation spread throughout the whole of China, attracting great talents from all over the world to join you."
Subdue Li Wendao, spread his reputation throughout China, and attract great talents from all over the world to join you?
Hearing these words, Yang An couldn't help but look up and glance at Wang Taifu, and asked in an emotionless voice: "Has Wang Taifu ever thought about it, with Li Wendao's determination, who can subdue him?"
"Or, if my ambition cannot be recognized by Li Wendao, what impact will it have on me after this matter is spread?"
It's not that Yang An is overthinking.
But for a madman like Li Wendao, Yang An doesn't think anyone in the world can convince him.
Not to mention that he is only the prince of Daqian at this time.
Even if he is the emperor of Daqian, or even the immortal god of the world.
It is probably difficult to make Li Wendao convinced and accept him.
Once Yang An and Li Wendao discuss the Tao and fail to get his approval, what will people in the world think if this matter spreads?
Will they believe Li Wendao, the Zuo Siye of Shangyin Academy, the world-famous Confucian sage?
Or will they believe Yang An, the unknown and rootless prince of Daqian?
This matter is probably out of the question.
Once Yang An fails to get Li Wendao's approval and fails to accept Li Wendao.
It will probably not take long for the whole Shenzhou world to be full of rumors, saying that Yang An, the prince of Daqian, is not worthy of the title and is not able to take on the great responsibility.
So this matter is definitely not a good thing for Yang An.
It is obvious that he is being tricked.
Some people want to use Li Wendao to undermine his prestige.
"Your Highness is worrying too much."
"I believe that with your demeanor, Li Wendao will definitely be convinced."
"And..."
Wang Taifu paused for a moment, then sighed: "And, now the whole Tianjing City has spread the news that Li Wendao wants to discuss Taoism with Your Highness. If Your Highness refuses, I'm afraid..."
What is he afraid of?
Wang Taifu did not continue.
Yang An already understood.
Now Yang An is at the peak of his popularity, and Li Wendao is also the most famous person in the world of Shenzhou.
The discussion between the two is undoubtedly a major event that can shock the whole world.
So whether this matter is true or false, it will definitely shock the whole Tianjing City, and even the whole world of Shenzhou.
Yang An does not know whether this matter is the work of Li Wendao, but he can guess the thoughts and calculations of the people in the dark.
It was nothing more than using Li Wendao to attack his power, and in order to prevent him from not accepting Li Wendao's discussion, he directly released the news that Li Wendao wanted to invite Yang An to discuss.
In this matter.
Yang An felt that Li Wendao might not be the mastermind, but he also went with the flow and wanted to discuss with him.
The reason is very simple.
Because Li Wendao wanted to make his martial arts true meaning further and his martial arts realm further, he must put his holy words into practice and use practical actions to strengthen his holy words.
Unfortunately, in today's Shenzhou world, it is not a simple and easy thing to clarify yin and yang?
The nine sects, six ways and twelve families are all behemoths, lying on the entire Shenzhou world greedily absorbing the blood and marrow of the people, and there are also the three disasters of the dynasty, which have messed up the whole world.
Faced with such an unchanging Shenzhou pattern.
Even if Li Wendao, as the left Siye of Shangyin Academy, has the ambition to ascend to heaven, he is helpless.
So he was eager to find a like-minded Taoist friend who wanted to change and had the ability to change the world.
His appearance and what he did in Haizhou.
It undoubtedly gave him a glimmer of hope.
That's why he was so eager to discuss Taoism with himself, to see if he had the courage and ambition to change the situation in Shenzhou, sweep across the world's aristocratic sects, and become the emperor of martial arts in Shenzhou.
If his performance was in line with Li Wendao's ideas, he would definitely get his support.
But everything has its pros and cons.
Think about it.
The rulers of the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families are not fools.
The true meaning of Li Wendao's words has long been known to the world.
Once he gets Li Wendao's approval, his intention to destroy the world's aristocratic sects and become the emperor of martial arts, isn't it Sima Zhao's heart known to everyone?
In this way, it would be strange if the Nine Sects, Six Paths, Twelve Aristocratic Families, and even the world's aristocratic sects and families had no opinions about him.
For a madman, he put himself in front of the world's aristocratic sects in advance, attracting the hatred of the whole world.
This is not a joke.
Li Wendao is not Baosi, Diaochan, or Yang Guifei.
How could Yang An give up the current good situation for him?
So after hearing what Wang Taifu said, Yang An almost refused without thinking: "There is nothing to be afraid of. What I do, do I still care about other people's opinions?"
"The sky can create life, but it cannot distinguish things. The earth can carry people, but it cannot rule people. All things in the universe, including people, will be divided by saints!"
"This is a complete joke."
"Who does Li Wendao think he is?"
"Execute on behalf of the sky, clarify all things, and establish the order of heaven and earth?"
"If this is not a madman, what is it?"
"In my opinion, Li Wendao is a madman who is rebellious and unrighteous. If he really follows his ideas, I am afraid that even the throne of the emperor in the world cannot satisfy him. It is almost the same to change to the throne of the emperor in the fairy world."
Yang An sneered and rejected Li Wendao's discussion without hesitation.
He knew it very well.
The Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families could tolerate the existence of Li Wendao because he was a madman with wild ideas, and the true meaning of his words was impossible to achieve.
Even in the eyes of the rulers of the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families, Li Wendao was a madman with wild ideas. Unless he could take charge of the entire Shangyin Academy and obtain the recognition of the ancient immortal artifacts of the Shangyin Academy, he would not care about him at all.
But the fact that the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families could tolerate Li Wendao did not mean that they could tolerate Yang An.
Because once Yang An has such an idea, he can really change the whole Shenzhou situation and have the strength to overturn the table.
So Li Wendao invited Yang An to discuss the Dao.
It was also a test of him by the Nine Sects, Six Paths and Twelve Aristocratic Families.
Yang An is not a fool, it would be strange if he agreed.
After all, the true meaning of martial arts cannot deceive people.
If someone felt the meaning of self-centeredness from his true meaning of martial arts, he would say that he wanted to destroy the world's aristocratic sects and become a martial arts emperor who has never been seen before and will never be seen again.
Even if he had a hundred mouths, he couldn't explain it clearly.
Because he really had such an idea.
Even Yang An was very suspicious, was it because he had such an idea that he wanted to reform the old and establish the new, and use the social system of the previous life to transform the Daqian Dynasty, so as to truly and thoroughly change the world situation.
So he could get the extraordinary favor of the Daqian National Destiny Golden Dragon.
The martial arts of this world have a long tradition, and there are many mysterious immortal secrets.
Since the Golden Dragon of Daqian National Destiny can sense his true thoughts, even his subconscious thoughts, who can guarantee that there are no such secret methods in the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families?
Of course, it’s not that Yang An is afraid of the Nine Sects and Six Paths and the Twelve Aristocratic Families.
But the timing is not right now.
Before the road to becoming an immortal is opened, he must keep a low profile and quietly accumulate strength.
As the saying goes: Build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king.
Think twice before acting, and make plans before taking action.
Only in this way can you achieve great things.
As expected.
When Wang Taifu heard Yang An’s refusal without hesitation, he couldn’t help showing a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "Your Highness is right, but this old minister has not considered it carefully."
"Please rest assured, your highness, this old minister will have someone reject Li Wendao’s invitation to discuss Taoism and find a way to quell the rumors in Tianjing City."
Wang Taifu has been up and down in the officialdom of Daqian for more than 50 years and was appointed as the Left Prime Minister of Daqian. Naturally, he is not a simple person.
He came to the East Palace this time to send Li Wendao an invitation to discuss the Dao, and he also wanted to test Yang An.
After all, for a Daqian official like Wang Taifu who came from a noble family, the family came first, then himself, and finally the court.
If Yang An behaved arrogantly or showed his intention to reform the old and establish the new, he would have to consider himself and his family behind him.
After all, he didn't want his family to end up like the local noble family sects in Haizhou.
In fact, not only Wang Taifu had such concerns, but other officials in the East Palace and other courtiers and generals in the Daqian court also had such concerns.
This was also the consequence of Yang An's reckless behavior in Haizhou.
If there was no reason, there would be a reasonable explanation on the surface.
I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for him to become the prince of Daqian.
Yang An was naturally clear about this.
So when he heard Wang Taifu's answer, he smiled kindly and said, "I'll trouble you, Taifu, for this matter."
