Shimen is poisonous

In fact, Ye Baihan has always been subtly arrogant in his heart.

This arrogance comes from natural strength and intelligence.Smart people are always more stubborn and easier to dig into corners than ordinary people, and so are the strong.These two kinds of people are not always easy to be persuaded, because most people in this world don't have enough intelligence or strength to persuade them-in terms of wisdom or in terms of strength.

Confucius said, I examine myself three times a day.The more years passed by this sentence, the more Ye Bohan felt that it was a true insight.

It would have been better if he had reflected on himself earlier.

It's not too late now.

After all, he was too arrogant. He saw that Uncle Lin felt that his body was full of holes, but he never guarded against his own many flaws.In the final analysis, stripping away the enmity between people, in fact, what Emperor Ming... Qingxuan did was cruel and mean, and it was no meaner than most of the high-ranking people in the world.

Or, he's even doing pretty well.

It's just that Ye Baihan finally forgot one of the most important things - only two parties with equal strength have the right to bargain with each other.At other times, the so-called fairness and justice are nothing more than playing hooligans.

Ants and elephants share territory, and ants also demand that elephants remain fair. Isn’t this playing hooligans?

If he really wanted to be fair, then first of all he had to be strong enough.

After Ye Bohan had this idea in his heart, he became more patient.

He had always resisted being involved in the court disputes of the Ming Dynasty, not only because the bones piled up under the royal power, but also because this was the territory of the Ming Emperor, and it was his way of practice.

He didn't want to interfere too much with other people's Tao.

But now if he wants to deal with Qingxuan, it is the most effective way to start from this aspect.

Ye Baihan has a bottom line, he will not destroy the Ming Kingdom as a means to destroy Qingxuan's practice, and because of this, he wants to understand the Ming Emperor's cultivation methods and the current situation of the Ming Kingdom.Only in this way can he minimize the loss.

Try to make Qingxuan unable to deal with him without destroying the fate of the Ming Dynasty.Although the significance of doing so is not great... In the final analysis, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty has actually been linked to Qingxuan.

Not every emperor is a practitioner who can live for hundreds of years.Most of the time, even a wise emperor can only maintain a dynasty for a few decades, and every change of the throne is often a new reincarnation. Whether the emperor is wise or not is completely a matter of luck.

Even the original sage emperor may slowly corrupt and swell in the process of possessing supreme power for a long time, lose the original self-restraint, and become a devil who cannot control himself.

The way of heaven is permanent, and the highest power is often accompanied by deep danger.So if the king has no way, then the guillotine of the desire for power will fall at any time.But this guillotine will not just kill the incompetent and stupid king, every time it falls, it will definitely take away the lives of countless people.

Some are guilty, some are innocent, but it doesn't matter.

The weak cannot decide their own destiny.

The way of heaven is permanent, and there is no so-called selfishness, so he will neither show favor for the common people nor be bought by the powerful.Just and cruel.

In essence, although Qingxuan is not a kind person, at least he will not cause the heavens to drop the guillotine.As a practitioner, his natural base point is higher than that of any king, and because he stands at such a height, he will not be easily confused and dominated by low-level desires.

If he has been protecting the Ming country in order to obtain dragon energy, many people can actually be protected.As for the people who were used or hurt by him in this process... they were just inevitable sacrifices.

...But Ye Bohan refused to accept it.

If the victim was his dearest and dearest, it would be no wonder he would accept his fate like this.

After realizing this, Ye Bohan finally began to force himself to face everything in front of him—he is not a weak person, and neither is Lian, but even if he is not, he has always faced the world with the mentality of a weak person.

Respect everyone, yearn for the approval and love of others, and do your best and give everything for it... This is the mentality of the weak.

He didn't know whether this mentality was Lian's nature...or it was the terrible subconscious that Qingxuan poured into his heart.But just like the difference between the strong and the weak in this world, between men who are rulers and women who are ruled, the former is better at conquering, while the latter is better at begging... Ye Baihan himself does not think that is a mistake — It is not wrong to ask the other party's consent when asking, and perhaps it is even right.

But right thinking does not lead to right results.Because many people in this world regard kindness as stupidity, adore violent conquest and despise gentle inquiry.Whose fault is this?Not anyone's fault.

It's just that a person has to learn to accept... the cruel part of human nature.

After Ye Bohan had this determination, his next approach changed greatly.First of all, he no longer deliberately pretends to be indifferent to the government.On the contrary, although he still doesn't talk a lot every time he discusses politics, he ensures that he always has something to say.

In fact, his identity is very subtle.Few of those who knew the real situation of Emperor Ming would flatter him, while those who didn't know would want to make some stupid political investments—since it was stupid, Ye Bohan couldn't cooperate too much, so he was just pretending to be obedient.

In essence, Ye Bohan is more concerned about Emperor Ming's way of cultivation and the specific interference he can make with the other party.

Did Emperor Ming rely on faith or merit in the exercises he practiced?There is still a big difference between the two.If it is based on faith, then as long as the people's trust in Emperor Ming is shaken, the way of practice can be cut off.To shake the trust, Ye Baihan doesn't even need to resort to too many means - Emperor Ming has done more than one or two things of not being able to see people and breaking the bottom line of simple people.

Of course, the problem of personal morality does not affect Minghuang being a good emperor, and the quality of an emperor does not depend on whether his usual behavior is good or not, but belief itself is a very complicated thing, and it does not exist independently.

Any negative emotion may affect the purity of belief and greatly reduce the strength of belief.

Another possibility is to practice by accumulating merit.If so, it will be even more troublesome.Because merit is not transferred by human will, but only determined by the way of heaven itself.

But if this is the case, Ye Baihan is not helpless.

Because merit is very mysterious—according to Ye Baihan's current understanding of the way of heaven, if a series of actions that are intended to benefit all things in the world are investigated from the causal chain of this series of actions, then merit will be automatically assigned to participate in this series of actions. A person with a causal chain.

According to the general situation, it will be passed from the final executor to the highest decision-maker, and the order of transmission is also from those with large influence to those with little influence, and from the weak to the strong.

For example, the Emperor Ming issued an order, and this order was conveyed to the local officials through the prime minister and the six departments, until the final implementation was carried out by the government officials.If this is a favorable order, then the final merit value will be distributed to everyone in this causal chain.

But according to the size of one's contribution and the strength of will, merit will also be correspondingly strong or weak.

This kind of distribution must be limited. To obtain merit, Emperor Ming must take certain actions, and only by giving will there be gains.And even the laws of heaven have always been full of flaws. The law of the jungle and the causal chain have always been interdependent, just like a balance, which occasionally slips toward one side and occasionally slips toward the other.

As long as he can grasp the timing of these two laws to the greatest extent, Ye Baihan does not believe that there is no way to weaken Qingxuan's current strength and the connection between him and Longqi.

He vaguely noticed that Emperor Ming didn't seem to have Qingxuan's original cultivation level, at least much weaker than he expected.

Ye Bohan didn't know the reason for this, but it at least greatly reduced the difficulty of his work.

Of course, even if the cultivation base is damaged, it does not hinder Minghuang's strength.Most of the monks didn't even feel Minghuang's true strength at all.

Ye Baihan still has to act with discretion in this regard.

Before Ye Baihan was appointed, the East Palace had already been hurriedly assigned a group of subordinate officials.There are naturally many inconveniences when there are too many people, but after the palace gate is locked, it will appear a bit lonely.

Fortunately, Ye Bohan didn't care about the loneliness.

He is very afraid of being alone, so he always looks forward to having someone to accompany him.I don't care much about what kind of person I want to accompany me.

The maids who took care of him when he was a child should have a bright future, but because of his disappearance, he didn't get any kind of favor after all, and wasted in the palace for more than ten years before being released.

But to be honest, it's not really a bad thing.

The maids who are now in charge of taking care of Ye Baihan are not too young, and they have been in the palace for many years, and they have a city in their hearts.In Ye Bohan's situation, neither the Emperor Ming nor the Empress would surround him with ignorant moths, so the people who are serving him now, no matter if they are eunuchs and maids, at least seem to have a calm and capable temperament.

However, even a calm and capable palace man may not have all kinds of plans in his heart. Ye Baihan has always been good at discovering the truth in subtleties, and his spiritual sense is strong and his perception is keen, so even if he doesn't pay special attention to it, he will be aware of it involuntarily. Many little known details.

For example, the little maid serving him tonight, she obviously gets nervous every time she sees a certain female officer in the Queen's Palace, but she listens extra to what the other party says, and the other party will frequently order her in private.

There must have been some connection between them.Ye Baihan can roughly infer the specific relationship.

In addition, no matter the harem, court hall, or other places, Ye Bohan can always discover many details inadvertently, but these details are of no great use to him at present, so they can only temporarily enrich the information base.

He cares more about other things.

During this period of time, he obtained a large amount of materials through Tianzhou City, and these materials will be used by him to develop some kind of magic weapon.He first tried to refine two rings. The functions of these two rings are completely different, and the functions are basically also very different.

Ye Bohan used some very "unrealistic" materials in the process of developing these two instruments, including fragments of the statue of the gods that have been incensed for a long time and a small piece of his own flesh and blood.

He once thought about using the petal of the lotus, but later gave up.Although it has been confirmed that he is Lian himself, so even if the petals are used up, there is no need to feel too guilty, but the experiment he is currently conducting is too low-level, and the design is also very crude. If necessary, he wants to be more useful in the later stage. Time to use some rarer materials.

Before that, the first thing he has to do is to experiment with these two objects.
