Especially the book *Heart Sutra*, which expounded on Dantai Jingzhi's entire ideological concept, was revered as a classic by Zhao Xuanji when he was young. Over decades, he had read it almost to fluency.

It was from this very book that Dantai Jingzhi became Zhao Xuanji's role model, much like a mentor for half his life.

Even Zhao Xuanji is like this, and even the entire cabinet is like this, let alone the influence that Dantai Jing has on all the scholars in the world.

"Really"

This question was asked by Fu Yuzhi.

He most admired Zhao Xuan's *The Classic of Strategy and Tactics*, keeping a copy on his desk and another on his bedside table for decades. His many political ideas stemmed from this very text, which focused primarily on learning about governance and the people’s livelihood.

Zhaoxuanji nodded and said in a soft voice, "It's been confirmed."

"Dàntái Jìng has three secluded residences. These days, he is in Wehaiwei. The prince went there personally and has now set off for the capital. Once he returns, this news will surely be announced to the world."

The joy on Wang Tenghuan's face vanished. He gritted his teeth and said, "If Dantai Jing leans towards the Eastern Palace, at least half of the literati in the world will follow him. Coupled with Su Zhen'ting's full support, with both military power and literary influence in hand, how could anyone stand against the Eastern Palace"

"Zhang Biwu also frowned and said: 'I say, facing the condition of allowing Wang to return to the cabinet, the East Palace though had resistance, it was not intense. Previously, it was only thought that the East Palace saw the general trend and made a temporary compromise. Now it seems that, in allowing Wang to return to the cabinet, the Crown Prince found out Dantang Jing's actions as a pawn. This move was planned by him at the time.'"

"Speaking of which, Zhang Biwu looked at Zhao Xuanji and said solemnly: “Elder Zhao, this matter must be treated with utmost seriousness.”

Zhao Xuanji drooped his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "To be honest, this old man was also caught off guard by this news. The crown prince of the East Palace, this move to cut off the source is really powerful."

Wang Tenghuan had lost an ear, and at this moment, his expression was particularly ferocious as he said, "On the surface, they're purging the Ministry of Punishment to distract us, but secretly, they got rid of Dantang Jingzhi! Your Highness!!! Such a clever scheme!!!"

"I just don't understand!"

"The present emperor himself had personally gone to invite him, promising countless things!"

“As for those princes, they all wanted to curry favor with Dantai Jingzhi. Even if he did nothing and just expressed his stance, it would bring great benefits to their factions. However, Dantai Jingzhi never moved.”

And the reason all parties were at ease listening to it was precisely because of Dantai Jing's absolute neutrality, not being involved in any power struggle.

For many years, Dantai Jingzhi has almost become a living Buddha in the hearts of scholars all over the world. Now that he has reached this point and agreed to the invitation of the East Palace when he is old, what is the reason for this

"What benefits did the East Palace give to Dantai Jingzhi!"

"Benefits"

Zhang Biwu sneered: "People like Dantai Jing, what good in the world could move him Even if the East Palace offered him its position, do you think he would be tempted"

"Everyone has weaknesses."

Zhao Xuanji suddenly spoke, interrupting the two people's conversation. He said in a calm voice: "It's just that some people's weaknesses are hidden deep, while others are displayed openly and easily caught by others. Today, our Prince has happened to catch Dantang Jingzhi's never-before-discovered weakness, so he caught us off guard."
