Under One Person: Starting from the Inheritance of Gods

Chapter 311 Rule the world with Tao!
"Hahaha!"

Meng Fan suddenly felt very happy and said with a smile: "Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang, it's not easy to hear you call me Your Highness!"

Yuan Tiangang remained silent, drank the wine in the bowl, and then poured himself another bowl of wine, but this time he poured it into the sea.

I don’t know whether I am paying tribute to Li Chunfeng or to my future self.

Meng Fan looked at this scene, thinking about something.

"Yuan Tiangang, it seems you have made up your mind!"

"hehe."

Yuan Tiangang spoke in a low and hoarse voice, looking in the direction where Li Xingyun left with a bit of ease, and said: "The dragon goes out to sea, the tiger goes down the mountain, it's time for me to take a break."

Meng Fan had a complicated expression on his face, the fishing rod in his hand was floating up and down, and he asked softly, "Is it worth it?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "There is no such thing as worthwhile or not in this world, only deciding whether to do it or not. As for the things I have decided, I will never regret it even if I die a hundred times."

Hearing this, Meng Fan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Do you know why I came here?"

"Your Highness, please teach me!"

Yuan Tiangang bowed and looked quite humble.

Meng Fan looked up at the sky, at the clear sky, then at the rippling waves on the sea, and finally, fixed his eyes on the place where the fishing line entered the water.

After a long while, he finally said, "Yuan Tiangang, you should know that for me, the world is within my reach. You are not worthy of my fear."

"In fact, it is easy to suppress you. You are no match for even my men."

"I understand!"

"I, your Highness, would also like to thank you for giving me a chance!" Yuan Tiangang said in a low voice.

Then, he picked up the fishing rod beside him and threw the hook into the water like Meng Fan, acting as the fisherman, but there was no bait on Yuan Tiangang's hook.

At this moment, only Yuan Tiangang knew what was in his mind.

However, Meng Fan and Yuan Tiangang had some tacit understanding.

Meng Fan glanced at Yuan Tiangang and said quietly, "In the beginning, the reason why I made a promise with you was because you had worked hard for three hundred years to maintain the destiny of the Tang Dynasty."

"In terms of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, you have done the best. Just for this reason, I am willing to give you this opportunity and time to realize your plan."

"Whether I succeed or not, I am willing to cover for you. A loyal old minister who has served for more than three hundred years is worthy of me doing this!"

"Instead of relying on my own strength to imprison and subdue you, and destroy your plan that you have been planning for a hundred years, this is really too cruel for you."

Listening to Meng Fan's words, Yuan Tiangang was somewhat moved. At this moment, he even had the urge to die for his friend. At least at this moment, Meng Fan understood him.

Yuan Tiangang bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your understanding!"

Meng Fan sighed from afar, with a look of nostalgia on his face.

If we talk about the tragic figure that Meng Fan admired the most in his previous life, Yuan Tiangang would definitely be one of them. Not everyone can remain loyal for three hundred years and be worthy of the heaven, earth and the king.

The words "My plans are all for the eternal prosperity of the Tang Dynasty" brought tears to countless people's eyes.

Yuan Tiangang and Meng Fan sat side by side, just like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang back then. The sea breeze was gentle and warm, and everything was quiet and beautiful, just like the Zhenguan Tang Dynasty back then. However, under the water, there were countless undercurrents.

"Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for your help!"

Although Yuan Tiangang's voice was hoarse and calm, and his words were few, Meng Fan could tell that they were indeed full of true feelings.

Then, Meng Fan looked at Yuan Tiangang and said frankly: "The purpose of my coming here is to give you a choice. After all, it is rare to find a loyal and capable person like you in the world. Do you really want to die?"

There was a hint of temptation in Meng Fan's last words.

"Your Highness wants me to live?" Yuan Tiangang said, then he shook his head and said, "The path I have chosen will eventually lead me to the other side."

"Besides..."

"If ministers are too powerful, the country is in danger; if the left and right are too close, they are harmful to themselves. This is the great warning of the ancients. The new Tang Dynasty should not have ministers anymore. Even if I am lucky enough to survive in this world, there will still be a gap between you and me, the monarch and the minister. The monarch and the minister will be suspicious of each other, which is not good for the country and will become my fault."

"Minister, it is better for me to continue along this chosen path, taking with me the glory of the old Tang Dynasty and burying it in the dust of history, in order to preserve the friendship between me and the Tang Dynasty."

"The future belongs to you, Your Highness!"

"What I can do is to help you, Your Highness, at the last moment before I die. As for the rest, I have nothing else to ask for."

Meng Fan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

He looked at Yuan Tiangang quietly and said, "Why bother?"

I clearly gave Yuan Tiangang a chance to "live", but Yuan Tiangang still chose to die. Maybe he was really tired, or maybe he did it to fulfill his wish.

As for, who should be fulfilled?
Meng Fan and Yuan Tiangang already had the answer in their hearts.

Rather than letting Meng Fan bear the infamy of killing a loyal minister, it would be better for Yuan Tiangang to ask for death himself. This would be more painless and would also be a blessing for both of them.

In fact, if Yuan Tiangang really wanted to live, he would only die faster. Meng Fan would never let him live. Both of them knew this.

But nothing was revealed!

"hehe!"

Yuan Tiangang seemed to have let things go. He smiled and begged, "I have lived too long. I want to die and take a break. Your Highness, can you agree?"

"Well, it's up to you!"

Meng Fan pretended to sigh and shook his head, choosing not to care about it anymore.

Two people were fishing by the shore.

The next moment, Meng Fan's fishing hook moved.

After all, I did not return empty-handed.

Meng Fan raised the corner of his mouth and pulled up the fishing rod. A sea fish as red as a pink gem was caught by him. It jumped out of the water and splashed water droplets.

Seeing this, Meng Fan swung his fishing rod in a circular motion, and the sea fish immediately escaped from the hook and was thrown towards Yuan Tiangang.

Then, he asked, "How should the Tang Dynasty govern in the future? Does the bad commander have any advice?"

Yuan Tiangang looked at the oncoming sea fish and slowly caught it with the strength in his hands. Then he made a sword-like finger and cut open the fish's belly. He slapped the fish's body with his palm, and the shock of his internal force directly shattered the fish's scales.

Every move is full of dominance.

Then, Yuan Tiangang sliced ​​the fish meat into pieces and presented them to Meng Fan respectfully, saying, "The Tang Dynasty is in a state of deep trouble and it is difficult to turn things around. We need to take drastic measures, act quickly and quickly, and eat them alive to be effective."

Meng Fan picked up a piece of fish sashimi, but did not eat it directly. Instead, he put it into the boiling water with warm wine on the side and gently boiled it.

"Those actions can certainly eliminate the malpractices, but there are also considerable hidden dangers. The country is just established, so we should act decisively and then take things step by step."

"Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, and governing the world with Tao!"

Yuan Tiangang bowed his head and said, "Your Highness is wise!"

Meng Fan smiled knowingly, looked at Yuan Tiangang, and said: "Everything in the world is ever-changing. Even if it is treacherous, as long as you focus your mind, you can accomplish anything. Heaven's will is stronger than man's, and man's will is stronger than Heaven's."

"There has never been a difference between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Tyrants. When I become powerful enough, my heart is the heart of Heaven, and my will is the will of Heaven. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from Heaven."
