Asking such a question at this moment, the rehearsal in my mind has obviously fast-forwarded to the stage of "ascending to the highest position, then working hard to govern the country and accumulate wealth, and then exploring the way to immortality."

Therefore, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes unconsciously.

Just the next moment.

He then heard Monk Daoyan sneer softly: "Ah! Although I dare not speak rashly, I do know one thing: from ancient times to the present, no one has ever achieved immortality."

I have to say that Monk Daoyan is a very insightful person.

When saying this.

His eyes were clear, without any trace of desire, obsession or greed.

In his opinion, this is something extremely illusory. He would rather focus his time and energy on the present and pursue the fun of the game.

Hear this answer.

Zhu Di was still somewhat disappointed. He had the ambition and confidence to conquer the world, so he regarded the world as something in his pocket. Of course, he also hoped that this was possible and that he would have the opportunity to rule the world for thousands of years.

Monk Daoyan obviously saw what Zhu Di was thinking.

He smiled faintly and comforted her, "Your Highness, this matter is difficult, and that is a good thing."

Zhu Di put away the thoughts in his mind, came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: "It is indeed a good thing. From another perspective, Zhu Yunhuan recruited alchemists, set up a royal manor, and built an alchemy furnace to make elixirs, which means that all the money has been wasted."

He naturally understood what Monk Daoyan meant by "good thing".

Monk Daoyan raised his palm with one hand.

With a confident look, he sat upright and lowered his eyes as he said, "He is currently using the money from the emperor's private treasury, but even the private treasury left to him by the late emperor will eventually be exhausted. Sooner or later, he will be unable to withstand such waste."

Zhu Di showed an excited look on his face, a smile on his lips, and said: "When the time comes, maybe we will target the national treasury."

Monk Daoyan raised his eyes slightly. "If the young emperor really sets his sights on the national treasury...those self-righteous scholars in the court, and even the person standing behind him, won't agree."

"You can't say that man is ambitious, because he truly has no attachment to imperial power. He's willing to completely hide behind the scenes and assist the young emperor. But you can't say he's without ambition either. Just look at what he's done over the past six months and you'll see—his ambition is to prosper the world and benefit the people. That's when a greater contradiction arises."

Zhu Di's heart suddenly started beating wildly.

His eyes widened with excitement. "The conflict between Zhu Yunhuan... and the counselor behind him! This muddies the waters even further. If we can seize this flaw and contradiction and drive a wedge between them, our chances of winning will be even greater."

Monk Daoyan lowered his eyes again.

He said in a deep voice: "Opportunities will always come as long as you are willing to wait."

Zhu Di did not believe what Monk Daoyan said before.

But now I believe it.

An expression of deep approval immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Just like Master Daoyan waited for ten years, waiting for the eldest brother to suddenly collapse, waiting for the current seemingly stable but actually turbulent chaos, and also waiting for that person to reveal his flaws."

At this point, Zhu Di was so excited that he slammed the table and stood up, laughing loudly and said, "Such a vision is indeed far-sighted."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

I've been feeling quite depressed for half a year, but now I can finally hold my head up high and feel proud.

"Of course, the conflicts and flaws between the little emperor and the person behind him still depend on how the little emperor will react."

Although Monk Daoyan was now much more confident, he still cautiously reminded Zhu Di, "It depends on whether the young emperor is more willful or more determined to be a good emperor with the help of that person."

Zhu Di was not a blind man.

He immediately returned to his main seat.
