Yin and Yang Taoist Code

While he was thinking about it, a smell of meat wafted over. When he lowered his head, he saw several plates of meat food appeared on the table at some point. Yuwen Taihao gently pushed them in front of him.

"I heard that you like to eat meat, so I prepared these. Try them. They are all secretly made in the palace. They should satisfy you."

The index finger moved, but Li Chuyi did not make a move, but looked up at Yuwen Tailuo.

"You know me quite well."

Yuwen Tailuo laughed dumbly: "You are my son. Although I have not raised you, it does not mean that I do not care about you. I cannot tell you all your preferences, but I still understand most of them."

"for example?"

"For example, you like to eat meat, but don't like to drink; you are lazy by nature, but your cultivation level keeps rising strangely; you like money, but you are extremely generous to the people around you; you are cautious, and you can even be said to be timid and afraid of death. But every time you are unexpected, you dare to risk your life more than anyone else. Especially in the last point, I think you are like a gambler. You know the risks of gambling and know how to introspect, but you lose too much every time. Many times you are unwilling to give up, even if you know that you have a huge chance of losing, you still have to give everything you have and give it a try. And your luck is amazing. You can save the defeat unexpectedly every time, and not only win back your capital, but also make a small profit. A little bit, this is something that no one else can do, only you can do it.”

"Why?"

"Haha, you really don't know?"

Looking at Li Chuyi with a smile, Yuwen Tailuo said slowly: "Because you are my son, the heir trained by me together with the Mu family, and a person with great luck, you are born to be the emperor of Dayan! "

"So you want to kill me and take away my life to make up for your national destiny?" Li Chuyi looked at him coldly.

His smile froze, and Yuwen Tailuo sighed.

"I admit that I have indeed had this idea, and I am not afraid to let you know. But what I want you to know is that this idea only occurred to me, and I gave it up not long after."

"Are you so kind?" Li Chuyi sneered.

Yuwen Tailuo looked at him seriously: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. Your mother scolded me when she found out. I also knew that I was obsessed, and then gave up the idea. In fact, there is no need for your mother to scold me. Watching you grow up day by day, feeling your heartbeat getting stronger and stronger in my belly, I realized then that you are not only a destined person that we have trained, but also my son, my biological son. It is the continuation of my bloodline and my supreme treasure. How can I be willing to use you to complete Dayan's national destiny?"

"What's more, luck is fickle. In the final analysis, it still depends on the person. No matter how strong the country's fortune is, it will be useless if an unsuitable person comes to take over. The Dayan Dynasty will eventually decline. Rather than doing this, it is better to train you well and treat you well. If you take over Dayan in the future, your fortune will naturally affect everything in Dayan, and Dayan's national destiny will become stronger. Why should I do that stupid thing of killing the goose that lays the goose to seize the egg?"

Looking at Yuwen Tailuo suspiciously, he lowered his head and looked at himself again. Li Chuyi asked: "How can I take over Dayan like this? Do you think I look like the material to be an emperor? Are you not afraid of Dayan?" Destroy the country in my hands?”

"You don't have to act like it, you are. Today's competition has already proved this."

Seeing that Li Chuyi was confused, Yuwen Tailuo explained: "I think your grandfather must have told you what the Mu family's "Qianji Wanyan" and my Yuwen royal family's "Imperial Dao Jue" are. Today, Xuan Yin is fighting with you. His last move, 'Emperor's Coming', already involves the core of the Emperor's luck in the "Imperial Way Jue". He is still vulnerable, and you can't even use it, so he suffered such a serious backlash. If you are so lucky, who should be the emperor if you don't become the emperor? "

Li Chuyi laughed when he heard this: "You can become the emperor if you are lucky? This is too..."

"Are you kidding me?"

Yuwen Tailuo responded, and Li Chu nodded.

"That's right, isn't this a joke? As you say, don't choose any prince. Just gather the descendants of the Yuwen clan, and everyone is assigned a certain death mission. Whoever is lucky enough to survive to the end will be the prince. This Isn’t it simpler?”

"you are wrong!"

Yuwen Tailuo waved his hand.

"Luck is not the same as luck. Luck is only a part of luck. Luck only lasts for a while, but luck is a trend, a general trend that can promote you and everything around you. As the saying goes, people with stronger luck will follow the general trend. The more things that can be promoted, if we guide them well, great things can be expected, including the founding of a country and the establishment of a dynasty!"

"According to you, as long as you are lucky enough, even an idiot can become the emperor?"

Li Chuyi teased in a funny way, but Yuwen Tailuo said seriously: "Although the words are a little rough, the truth is correct. As long as the luck is strong enough, even a fool can become the emperor!"

The little fat man's jaw suddenly dropped, and he stared at him dumbfounded.

"Is this okay?!"

"certainly!"

Nodding, Yuwen Tailuo said seriously: "Don't think that to be an emperor, you have to be rich in knowledge and knowledge. That is just an external means. In the final analysis, it still depends on the person and a person's life! It is true that wisdom and talent are very important, but Have you ever thought about how many talented people lived a busy life, and how many outstanding people died young? Why did they fail, and why did they die short? Are they really born at the wrong time, or are they really jealous of their talents? What, have you ever thought about it?"

"Because their fate is bad?" the little fat man asked tentatively.

"That's right!"

Patting the table gently, Yuwen Tailuo said in a condensed voice: "Time is also destiny, which means destiny. Destiny is the foundation of human beings, and a person's life is derived from these two words. The two words of destiny must be separated Look at it, destiny is determined innately, and luck is acquired. Wherever you are born, your mental level is determined by fate, and how much knowledge you have in life is determined by luck. The two complement each other, but they cannot be generalized, because destiny is determined by heaven and cannot be shaken. Luck is determined by destiny but can be easily changed. "The Art of the Emperor" is about luck. By accumulating the luck of the emperor to make up for the lack of destiny, you can be a good emperor even if you do nothing. Because your luck can promote many people and things, and bring the world's outstanding people to join us, they will take care of Dayan in an orderly manner for you. "

"Of course, this doesn't mean that you can really be an idiot. You still have to study seriously for the sake of the emperor's knowledge. This is even more important than practice. Do you know the difference between a superior and a inferior? It's The things under control are different. Those in lower positions are in charge of things, while those in higher positions are in charge of people. How to hold people's hearts firmly in your hands and make them serve you obediently is a great question, one that no one can avoid. Even the beggars on the roadside are like this. The smart ones will study how to better control other beggars. Whether it is domineering or eloquent, in the final analysis, they want to work less and get more for themselves. Live a more nourishing life!”

Li Chuyi was stunned for a while after hearing this. Finally, he remembered a word that the Taoist priest had said, and frowned and asked, "Are you talking about the royal way?"

"It's the imperial way! But the meaning is correct." Yuwen Tailuo corrected.

Li Chu was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, he remembered a story that a Taoist priest once told him. It was said that a local gangster and a rich young man were fighting for the world. In the end, the gangster won. The reason was that the gangster understood people's hearts better and was good at winning over them. The rich young master had a good background and was also a fierce man. Unfortunately, he was so fierce that he often only focused on things and neglected people, which led to a tragic ending.

In the words of Taoist priests, the gangster follows the king's way, controlling people's hearts and achieving his own success; while the young master follows the domineering way, and both ministers and generals can achieve great achievements, but it is difficult to become a king.

Thinking about it this way, is the old emperor calling me a hooligan?

Li Chuyi secretly cursed, suddenly realizing that the two of them were somewhat close, he felt uncomfortable and leaned back to create some distance between them.

"Don't talk about this yet. I came to see you today because I have something to ask. I think you should know it, right?"

Smiling indifferently, Emperor Yanling said: "Hai Wufeng can be saved by you like this, his life is not bad. But you use being the prince to exchange his life with me, don't you think it is very inappropriate? Dayan There are so many people who want to take the throne but can't get it. Aren't you afraid that I will abandon you in anger and choose someone else instead?"

His heart tightened, but his face remained calm. Li Chuyi also said quietly: "In that case, forget it. Anyway, I don't want to interfere with Dayan's affairs. You can find someone else for the position of prince. I think today's Yuwen Xuanzhe is good, and his life is pretty good. Yuwen Xuanzhe forced him to be rescued by me."

After saying that he was about to leave, Yuwen Tailuo quickly raised his hand and pressed down. At the same time, Li Chuyi felt relieved.

Although there is a 90% certainty that it won’t happen, there is still a 10% chance that Yuwen Tailuo’s words are true and he really gave up on him and chose someone else.

Now it seems that he and Yuwen Taihao have made a good guess. The old emperor really has his eyes set on him, and he doesn't even think about the position of prince.

"Forget it, a mere Hai Wufeng exchanged for the long-lasting prosperity of the dynasty, so what if you spare his life? I will obey you. After you acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan at the altar of the Holy Ancestor and take the throne of the prince, I will Then let the supervisory office release him."

A stone fell to the ground, and Hai Wufeng's life was finally saved. After kowtowing at the altar of the Holy Ancestor, he could start planning how to get himself out.

In a good mood, Li Chuyi relaxed a little, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. After putting it down, he raised his head and stared at Yuwen Tailuo.

"Besides Hai Wufeng, I have one more thing to ask when I come to see you. How did my mother die? Was it you who killed her?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuwen Tailuo became angry on the spot, and his burning eyes stared directly into Li Chuyi's eyes. Li Chuyi felt a chill in his heart, and he vaguely saw a trace of murderous intent in the old emperor's eyes.

Before he could get a closer look, Yuwen Tailuo looked away, his anger dissipated and turned into melancholy. He stared at the vast lake of spiritual mist in a daze, and finally sighed deeply for a long time.

"I didn't want to tell you, but you have grown up, and there are some things that you really should know. Yes, it was me who killed Ling'er, but it was not just me, but also your grandfather Mu Fangli, and everyone involved No one can escape this matter. I know there are many rumors out there, and I also know that you are full of resentment towards me because of this, but I want to tell you that I have not lied, never. Your mother did die in childbirth. One thing is unquestionable, even if I swear with my Taoist heart, I will not change my words, because this is the truth! "

Li Chuyi sneered: "With my mother's cultivation, it will be difficult to give birth? Do you think I will believe it?"

Turning his head suddenly, Yuwen Tailuo looked back at him without hesitation: "It wouldn't be possible for anyone else, but don't forget who you are!"

Li Chuyi was stunned for a moment, then heard Yuwen Tailuo speak slowly with suppressed excitement: "You are the destined person that we jointly cultivated. Do you think giving birth to you will cost nothing?"
