Chapter 210 Coexistence
Last time, he urged the emperor to go to war with the Huns and never talk about coexistence.
I thought that victory was a sure thing, but I underestimated the intensity of the infighting for power among the eunuchs' children. Many important military positions were filled by young masters who had gained military merits to make up the numbers.
In addition, General Gongming's old injury relapsed.
This time, the Huns came well prepared and actually defeated the Central Plains.
What worried him most was that the sweet potatoes were not found.
After the emperor learned of the court's defeat, he immediately ordered him to Linghuang Temple to pray for blessings. Ostensibly, it was for self-cultivation, but in fact, the emperor was thinking of appointing another prince, right?
This emperor has mediocre achievements in politics, but he is suspicious by nature and an expert at manipulating power.
If he made a wrong step, the emperor would immediately appoint someone else.
The old Taoist priest saw that the man was calm, as if he had not heard any news yet.
The old Taoist sighed and shook his head, and decided to tell the man about Shen Wei's accident. So after placing the black piece, the old Taoist said:
"Miss Shen has been sent to Dali Temple for contradicting His Majesty."
"Clap."
The man put the white piece in his hand into the chess box, making some dull sounds.
"On the day it happened, you said you would no longer interfere in anything concerning her. You shouldn't be so upset."
The man stood up quickly and headed for the door: "How can I stay calm when something so serious is happening? Prepare the carriage and return to Beijing!"
The old Taoist sighed and called out to the man, "Wait a minute."
"If I had known you would react like this, I should have kept it from you."
Seeing that the man did not stop, the old Taoist priest did not dare to make any preparations. He immediately followed behind him and said, "Everything has its cause and effect. This may be her only chance to go home."
Swish!
The man suddenly paused and looked back at the old Taoist priest.
"She made a deal with you back then. She held you in the highest position, and you used the fate of the country to awaken her. Perhaps the disaster she is experiencing now is also the result of the turmoil in the country."
"The hexagram shows that this may not be a bad thing, and it may be her only chance."
"If she takes the right path, there will be a glimmer of hope. If she takes the wrong path, there will be no return. And on this path, no one is allowed to interfere. She has to walk it alone."
The man's pupils contracted violently, and he asked in a calm and self-controlled voice:
"This is the only chance?"
At the beginning, Shen Wei used all her knowledge and worked hard to help him get the high position he wanted, but he had no way to let Shen Wei go home directly.
On the day when the test failed, he saw Shen Wei's bright eyes that were full of hope suddenly turn into despair like a pool of stagnant water.
But fortunately, another chance of survival was found.
As long as Shen Wei can wake up in advance, there will be a chance to find a way back to the 21st century.
I thought that the chance of survival was very slim and it would take a long time, maybe three, five, or ten years, but I didn't expect it to happen suddenly at this moment...
The man suddenly hesitated.
He stood in the courtyard for a long time.
I saw the ginkgo tree planted in the courtyard rustling, and a golden ginkgo leaf slowly fell from the tree, and fell to the ground after a long time.
The man closed his eyes, turned around and sat back on the stone pier without any expression: "She won't go wrong."
"You're right. This is all her own fate. I shouldn't interfere."
No matter how much you like some people or how reluctant you are to let them go, in the end, you just can't catch them. In this case, it's better to pretend that you can't see or hear anything and let them go.
