In a small pavilion on the lake in the backyard of King Yan's residence, Zhu Di was sitting opposite a young monk in black who looked like a sick tiger and had drooping triangular eyes.
"Dao Yan, didn't you say that your divination and divination techniques are rare in ancient times?!!”
"Then can you calculate how long the Ming Dynasty will last?!!”
Zhu Di looked at the young monk in front of him and said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
The young monk Dao Yan in front of him was someone he met when he followed his wife, Madam Xu, to the Heavenly Temple to pray for blessings.
At this time, Dao Yan had yet to restore his surname to Yao and was given the name Guangxiao. He was still a monk of the Heavenly Temple who looked like a sick tiger and had his own plans in his heart.
At that time, the other party had said," I see that Your Highness has the appearance of a hidden dragon. If I can follow Your Highness, I will definitely wear a white hat for Your Highness."”
Zhu Di was shocked. Luckily, he was strolling around the temple at that time. There were no guards by his side, and there were no other people around him.
Otherwise, just Dao Yan's words alone could bring about a life and death crisis for the two of them!
However, it could not be ruled out that Dao Yan only said those words to Zhu Di after seeing that there was no one around.
Although he was shocked by the audacity of Dao Yan's words, after neglecting this point, he suddenly realized that he was not the only one.
Zhu Di realized that the other party was indeed very talented, and his personality was also very compatible with him.
After a while, Dao Yan became half his advisor and half his friend.
Hearing Zhu Di's question, Dao Yan's eyes narrowed. For a moment, he could not figure out the intention behind Zhu Di's question.
Even so, he still answered,"
"If I were to calculate the fate of an ordinary person, this Penniless Monk would have eighty to ninety percent confidence.”
"However, calculating the fate of a country involves the emperor and the people.”
"Even this Penniless Monk doesn't dare to calculate!”
"However, the Great Ming Empire has His Majesty's hard work to govern it, and in the future, His Highness will inherit the throne. Naturally, the empire will be endless.”
Hearing Dao Yan's last sentence, Zhu Di let out a long sigh.
This was not the first time he had heard such words from Dao Yan.
Ever since he got to know Dao Yan, the other party would always say that he had the fate of the ninety-five and had the appearance of the Son of Heaven in less than three sentences. It was very likely that he would inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven in the future.
When he first heard such words, he was also very excited.
After all, it would be a lie to say that any prince would not be tempted by the position of the Son of Heaven.
However, after he calmed down, he knew that it was just nonsense.
The second emperor of Great Ming had long been decided.
Even if all the other princes joined forces, they would not be able to shake Zhu Biao's position as the Crown Prince, let alone him, the Fourth Prince!
In fact, if any prince dared to challenge Zhu Biao's position as Crown Prince, the first thing they would face would not be the Crown Prince's attack, but the cruel suppression of their father, Zhu Yuanzhang!
In the eyes of their father, Zhu Yuanzhang, their eldest brother, Zhu Biao, had always been the only candidate for the Crown Prince.
Moreover, Zhu Biao's own ability, breadth of mind, and boldness of vision were enough to suppress these royal brothers.
Therefore, the princes, including himself, had never thought of fighting for the crown prince position of his eldest brother, Zhu Biao.
Because he really couldn't win!
If they wanted to fight for the position of the Crown Prince, they would have to wait until their big brother Zhu Biao suddenly died.
Would their big brother Zhu Biao die suddenly?!!
This was completely impossible!
To put it bluntly, if their father died suddenly, it was impossible for their big brother to die suddenly.
Therefore, after understanding this, Zhu Di treated what Dao Yan said as nonsense.
Moreover, it was fortunate that Dao Yan knew his limits and only said this when the two of them were alone.
Otherwise, if these words fell into the ears of the Embroidered Uniform Guards that his Imperial Father had planted somewhere, he would not be able to tell.
Even if he was a vassal king, he wouldn't be able to do well!
However, when he thought of Dao Yan's words about not being able to predict the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di could not help but smile.
"I thought you were really that amazing. You could predict people, the heavens, the earth, the past, and the present.”
"From the looks of it now, your divination and divination techniques are only a small achievement. At most, you can only predict people, but not the fate of a country!”
Zhu Di knew that Dao Yan was a person with true ability.
Moreover, the other party's divination and divination techniques were indeed extraordinary. At least in the past, when he divined others, he was most likely more accurate.
Therefore, Zhu Di had always treated Dao Yan's skill as a divine skill.
However, after witnessing Yan Changqing's quantitative deduction method and using it to calculate that the Ming Dynasty would only last for 200 to 300 years, he looked down on Dao Yan's " little skill ".
Dao Yan was not a fool. On the contrary, his intelligence and ability were definitely ranked among the top during the Hongwu and Yongle years.
He was even more powerful than Liu Ji and Li Shan Chang!
This could be seen from the fact that he had assisted Zhu Di in his "Fengtian Jingnan" campaign to clear the imperial side. He had a good death while he was alive, and after his death, he became the only civil official worthy of the ancestral temple.
At the very least, neither Liu Ji nor Lee Shan Chang had such achievements and glory!
Could it be that someone had foretold the fate of the Ming Dynasty in front of the King of Yan today?!!
Furthermore, the result of the calculation made the King of Yan quite convinced?!!
Is that why you specially called me into the residence today?!!
Just from Zhu Di's words that seemed to be joking, Dao Yan could roughly deduce the situation behind it.
Then, he put his hands together and said with a hint of interest in his eyes,
"It seems that someone is counting the Great Ming Kingdom's fortune in front of Your Highness today!”
"I wonder who has such ability and what kind of result it will be?”
If it was an ordinary person, they would naturally not dare to ask about the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty.
However, to Dao Yan, he had been secretly, no, it should even be said that he had openly encouraged the King of Yan, Zhu Di, to plot against the throne.
Adding on the matter of knowing the fate of the Ming Dynasty, to Dao Yan, it was completely a debt that was not afraid of it.
Moreover, the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, had summoned him today because he wanted to inform him of this matter.
Therefore, Dao Yan was not afraid of anything at all and asked very openly.
