Chapter 324 The truth is out! I am Eunuch Chen! The pleas of two emperors!
To meet or not to meet?
Chen Fan, sitting on the bed, was somewhat troubled.
Recalling his time in Da Yuan, he was filled with mixed emotions.
It seems that Chen Fan entered the palace as a eunuch starting from the time of Emperor Taiyuan!
Having served under the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle emperors, he was already considered a veteran of four reigns!
When he first embarked on the path of immortality, Chen Fan was very concerned about interfering in royal affairs.
These matters are too complicated and too big, and there is a high possibility that he will be involved and bring about his death!
However, he is about to break through to the Core Formation stage.
Chen Fan, however, gained a lot of insights into cause and effect.
That is, the things you are most afraid of facing, the more you should face them with equanimity.
Just like if you intentionally keep it closed, this matter will come knocking on your door sooner or later.
Cause and effect cycle endlessly, and life goes on forever; you can't escape it no matter how hard you try!
Only by experiencing things openly can one better seek immortality and enlightenment!
With a clear mind, Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Come in!"
Squeak...
The door slowly opened.
Upon hearing the door open, Emperor Jianwen's eyes flickered, and he glanced back at his uncle, saying:
"Your Majesty...please..."
Emperor Yongle nodded, his face showing signs of age, and then walked into the house.
As the emperor of Dayuan, he honestly wanted to see the true face of this senior!
Emperor Jianwen followed suit.
Zhuo Ma realized that his master's agreement to meet the Imperial Uncle was something he had never even dreamed of!
He was both excited and deeply moved!
Emperor Jianwen's intuition told him that his master might know about Dayuan's current predicament.
The reason I agreed to meet him was to protect him!
inside the house.
Chen Fan sat upright in a chair, brewing tea.
Upon seeing the Yongle Emperor and the Jianwen Emperor enter the room, he stood up and said:
"Greetings, Your Majesty..."
"It's you..." Emperor Yongle was taken aback, and surprised after seeing Chen Fan's face clearly:
"Aren't you... the eunuch who raises horses at the Imperial Stables?!"
"Your Majesty... is our family one or the other?" Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
"Please sit down..."
"Uncle, please sit down..." Emperor Jianwen exclaimed.
"My master's background... is even more legendary than you think!"
Emperor Yongle remained silent.
He was utterly shocked, never expecting that this master was actually a eunuch!
The group then chatted while drinking tea.
They talked about nothing more than trivial matters in the palace and Da Yuan!
When Emperor Yongle learned that Chen Fan had entered the palace during the reign of Emperor Taiyuan, he was completely stunned!
Having guessed his identity, he clicked his tongue in astonishment:
"Father-in-law...you wouldn't happen to be Eunuch Chen, one of the three treasures of the Great Yuan Imperial City back then, would you?!"
"It is indeed our family..." Chen Fan said frankly.
"That's all in the past... I remember His Majesty and Emperor Hongwu were half-siblings... You were scattered among the common people because of the war, and were only found and brought back eventually... If I remember correctly, I should have seen you before..."
The Yongle Emperor was speechless!
Looking at Eunuch Chen in front of him, he felt as if his entire secret had been exposed!
In particular, the other person's insightful understanding of the passage of time gave him a chill down his spine!
Emperor Jianwen, however, remained relatively calm. Having long known his master's background, he said softly:
"Master...I've come this time...with a favor to ask..."
"Our family isn't interested in royal matters..." Chen Fan said with a smile.
"It's already a great honor for me to be able to meet with both His Majesties!"
"Master..." Emperor Jianwen said with a wry smile:
"Dayuan truly needs you... Just consider it for Xiao Wu's sake... protect Dayuan for another hundred years!"
Xiao Wu?
Chen Fan was taken aback, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.
Seeing this, Emperor Yongle nodded and said:
"Your Excellency... this is a long story... please let me explain..."
Chen Fan nodded.
After hearing what Emperor Yongle had to say, he felt a mix of emotions.
At the same time, he was also deeply moved by the current situation of Obuchi.
Thinking back to Emperor Yongle's campaigns in the south and north, he annihilated the states of Yan and Han in one fell swoop!
He was a glorious and undisputed great emperor in the eyes of the world!
But all this outward glamour is fake; behind the scenes, they are nothing more than accomplices to evil!
And this tiger is none other than the Qingyun Sect!
The Changchun Sect was in turmoil, and Dayuan, in order to break free from its control, colluded with the Qingyun Sect!
After a while, Da Yuan was indeed completely transformed!
But having driven away the jackals, they've now attracted the tigers!
According to Emperor Yongle, now that the Changchun Sect has been divided into two, it no longer has the strength to interfere with the Great Yuan!
Just as they were celebrating, the Qingyun Sect and the Weapon Sect came to collect interest!
These people demand incense offerings, immortal seedlings, and tributes, and they demand just as much as the Changchun Sect!
If Dayuan doesn't give it now, it will be making enemies of the two great immortal sects!
A catastrophe seems imminent!
"I... won't live much longer..." Emperor Yongle said with a bitter smile.
"I came to see you today, Father-in-law... also hoping for peace and tranquility for the Great Abyss... may it endure forever..."
"His Majesty thinks too highly of us..." Chen Fan exclaimed.
"Whether it's the Qingyun Sect or the Weapon Sect, they have Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators within their ranks. This is beyond our capabilities. Please leave!"
Emperor Jianwen was not surprised to hear his master's refusal.
Instead, he smiled wryly:
"Master... what I mean is... if Da Yuan can't be saved, could you please save Xiao Wu... and preserve the lineage of our royal family?"
This was what the two emperors of Daeyoshi had sought.
Upon hearing Emperor Jianwen's words, Emperor Yongle also cast a hopeful glance his way!
"Okay..." Chen Fan nodded without saying a word!
"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Emperor Yongle and Emperor Jianwen clasped their hands in unison.
"So... how do you plan to deal with the Qingyun Sect?" Chen Fan asked curiously.
"Simple..." Emperor Yongle smiled with relief.
"We'll deal with the Qingyun Sect the same way we dealt with the Changchun Sect... feigning compliance... when the time is right, it'll just be a battle!"
"We don't have much time left..." Emperor Jianwen nodded.
"The immortal sects treat us mortals like ants, killing us at will and disposing of us arbitrarily. It's utterly outrageous! My Great Abyss royal family simply wants to establish some rules for these mountain immortals, so that they can treat all people equally and know what ironclad laws are!"
After saying this, Emperor Jianwen and Emperor Yongle clasped their hands in greeting and left.
The two, whose original aspirations remained unchanged, deeply moved Chen Fan!
You should know that ever since Jianwen rebelled against the Changchun Sect, this guy has been thinking about bringing peace to ordinary people.
The premise of peace is to restrain those immortals who indiscriminately kill innocent people and regard human life as worthless!
How could the eight immortal sects, accustomed to freedom, tolerate the birth of such a dynasty?
This is the root of the conflict between the Immortal Sect and the Great Abyss!
Whether it's the Changchun Sect or the Qingyun Sect, which is now on the verge of falling out, this is a deadlock!
This suddenly reminded Chen Fan of the existence that Ji Daozi had mentioned!
That is the Kingdom of Cultivation!
Both dynasties ruled over sects, commanding the entire world!
Its internal laws and regulations are strict, and immortals and mortals live in peace!
"This kid...he's got pretty big ambitions..."
Thinking of all this, Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh:
"This sealed place...it's too difficult..."
