Chapter: 42

"But in the final analysis, it was watching the sky last night, and if I realized something, I decided to go to prison with His Majesty today."

Zhu Di took a sip of the porridge, and asked again: "How does the master think Jiang Xinghuo's intelligence and knowledge compare with yours?"

"Since Liu Bowen's death, no one in the world can compare with the old monk." Dao Yan replied indifferently.

Dao Yan's answer was natural and full of confidence.

In fact, although Dao Yan once suspected that Jiang Xinghuo might be a banished immortal.

But Dao Yan just said that, it doesn't mean he really believes it.

Dao Yan would not have decided to come to listen to Jiang Xinghuo's lecture in person if he hadn't realized something from watching the sky at night.

And this time he came to listen in person, if what Jiang Xinghuo said this time was not so shocking, then Dao Yan could conclude that the so-called exile of immortals was just his overthinking.

Zhu Di was dumbfounded for a moment, and pointed at the old monk opposite with his chopsticks.

"Master, you are still the same... When I was the King of Yan and before I became a vassal, the master recommended himself, saying that he was unparalleled in the world. I didn't believe it back then, but now after twenty years of wind, frost, rain and snow, I found out What the master said is true."

Dao Yan smiled slightly, obviously extremely confident in his resourcefulness.

Dao Yan said slowly: "I already have my own answers to the two questions Jiang Xinghuo asked, and I have some unspeakable doubts about what Jiang Xinghuo said."

"Master suspects?"

Dao Yan shook his head, but Zhu Di didn't ask further.

In fact, Dao Yan suspected that what Jiang Xinghuo said was called "National Fortune", but it might be another legendary knowledge.

——Dragon Slaying Technique!

But this kind of doubt, like the theory of exiled immortals, cannot be confirmed, so Dao Yan did not tell Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded and stood up, paced faster and faster in the teahouse compartment, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Before, Zhu Di's thoughts were all on the peaceful reduction of vassals, system reform, ocean trade and other matters. He didn't think too seriously about Jiang Xinghuo's question, but waited for Dao Yan to think it over before copying the reference answer.

But now that he thought about it carefully, he found some clues.

Zhu Di secretly thought: "I am confident that if I can have twenty years, I will be able to wipe out Beiyuan Zhongtian, and restore a prosperous Ming Dynasty, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang... With Jiang Xinghuo saying this, the sons of heaven in the future will not be as good as the next generation, and the power will be stolen in the end, and then the country will perish?"

Zhu Di stopped in his tracks, shook his cloth robe, and looked at Dao Yan.

"Master, you are a good reader of history books, tell me how many years have the Han dynasties lasted from the Han Dynasty to the present?"

Dao Yan had already found out the exact answer in the past two days, he said calmly.

"209 years in the Western Han Dynasty, 195 years in the Eastern Han Dynasty, 51 years in the Western Jin Dynasty, 103 years in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 37 years in the Sui Dynasty, 289 years in the Tang Dynasty, 167 years in the Northern Song Dynasty, and 152 years in the Southern Song Dynasty."

After hearing this number, Zhu Di suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Looking at the painted boats on the Qinhuai River with lanterns still on, Zhu Di simply made a calculation.

His father Zhu Yuanzhang has been the emperor for 31 years, and his nephew Zhu Yunqi has been the emperor for 4 years. He Zhu Di is 42 years old this year. According to his physical strength, he can still be the emperor for 20 to 30 years, but if the average of the dynasty is 150 to 200 In terms of lifespan, by the time he is passed on to the next generation, the Ming Dynasty will have passed nearly one-third of its lifespan!

How to prolong the life of the Ming Dynasty?

Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, what happened to the red line of the dynasty and the country's fate that did not exceed 300 years?
