"After the Qin and Han Dynasties, they all said that it was better to have less taxes and not do much in politics. The early death of the Qin Sui can be a lesson learned. However, looking at the Da Qian Country, there is a lot of construction going on. However, looking at the people of Donglin, do they show any signs of hardship or unwillingness? "
Speaking of this, 'Wen Wei' was also rather puzzled.
"Speaking of which, it is weird. In the Da Qian Country, roads and cities have been renovated in recent years. Not caring about the strength of the people, China is the best. However, the people don't find it tough and instead find it joyful. Apart from those vassal cities, all the land directly under them is prosperous. "
He sighed and said, "Thinking about it, it should be related to the Da Qian abolishing the corvee labor. All the projects are done with a lot of money to recruit strong people. The Da Qian Imperial Court and the high officials are afraid that the money in the treasury can't be used. However, I still haven't figured out the economics within. "
"Those merchants said that money can make money."
Yangming nodded and said, "Shouren also didn't figure out the details. I only roughly guessed that it has something to do with the circulation of money and spirit stones. That is why I invited Brother Nie to come to the Da Qian. Let's walk around and take a look. "
"However, the way that Zong Shou is doing goes against the teachings of the saints!"
The teen frowned, "For example, abolishing the imperial examinations and the Meeting Hall. How can a wise ruler treat scholars so harshly?"
Thus, the third hand knife landed on the teen's head.
"Zong Xi, what the saints say might not be right. The Headmaster of the Academy once said that there would always be someone to learn from. Even saints had times when they did not know things and made mistakes. Times have changed, and the principles of the ancient times might not be suitable for today. We can't scold and reject just because we don't understand and feel disgusted. The Meeting Hall is set up to choose officials from the people. Isn't that treating scholars like us well? In the ten thousand years of our Confucian Faction, many people chased three generations of rule to revive the ancient Zhou Dynasty. Actually, there are also many people who know about the dangers of a strong ruler and want to restrict it. We can't control the world and have no control over it. Thus, there was the theory of Dong Sheng being connected to the heavens. You can only treat the symptoms but not the root of the problem. "
"The affairs of the world should be shared with the world; it is not for the master of the world to be private. It is to treat the world as the world, not to treat oneself as the world. Although it is not easy for ten thousand generations, it is still possible. "
"Since the Da Qian monarch has already limited his sovereign power and included himself in the rules of etiquette, then he should not be allowed to do so. This could be said to have fulfilled the wishes of countless predecessors of the Confucian school. However, since the monarch has limited his own power, what law does he have to control the officials? "
With just a few words, Wen Wei fell into deep thought. Even the young man, who was rubbing his head with a look of dissatisfaction, remained silent.
At the same time, on the second floor of Tonight Rain Pavilion, there was a different scene. A few middle-aged men dressed in scholarly attire were chatting and laughing, full of joy.
"In that case, His Majesty is already preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Jiuchi Palace?"
"Exactly! This time, the three factions worked together to teleport the 800,000 strong army thousands of miles away. Together, they sealed off the Outer Realm. That Zong Shou won't even be able to escape. "
"If the monarch does not keep the secret, he will lose his subject; if the subject does not keep the secret, he will lose his chastity. Aren't you afraid that the news will be leaked? Causing that incapable ruler to be wary? "
"No worries, this was four hours ago. We only found out after the three factions and the emperor army attacked. Who knows, maybe at this moment, victory has already been decided over at the Jiuchi Palace. "
"Ah, the name God Falling Plains is really fitting!"
"I have to congratulate Brother Yu. This time, you caused all the colleges in Donglin Cloud Continent to close. You also caused the Confucians of Donglin to resign from the Da Qian Dynasty. With such achievements, you can become a minister in the Imperial Court and your name will spread far and wide. With Brother Yu's 20 years of experience in Linhai College, entering White Deer Cave College is a sure thing. "
"That's right. Which one of the teachers of White Deer Cave College isn't a famous Confucian? Which one of them isn't famous in history?"
The person at the top had a red face, slightly waving his hand, "This is still something that isn't confirmed, so what's the point of saying all this? However, if that day really comes, I won't forget all of you. Donglin being taken into the land of the king will definitely rely on the local scholars. I will try my best to fight for it in front of all the people! "
He smiled and said to the other middle-aged man in the corner, "Besides, how can my future be compared to Brother Wang Wei's? Being valued by the Imperial Court Head, in the future I will have a meteoric rise, ruling a province isn't a problem. "
That Wang Wei smiled proudly, holding his cup and not speaking. The people around him all congratulated him. Between his words, there was also a hint of regret.
"Sigh, we finally have a place to rise up. Under that stupid ruler, we are living like dogs. "
"Luckily, Zhu Zi is smart to treat him as the enemy of the Confucians and instigate the emperor to suppress him. If not, who knows what would happen in the future. "
"That stupid ruler deserves to die. Which one of the Da Qian Dynasty City Lords didn't respect us? You deserve to be defeated today! "
Just as they spoke, their hearts moved as they all looked out of the building. He saw a vast golden light flying over from the distant horizon.
It came from the west, from the direction of the Central Continent, landing towards Gantian Mountain City.
"This is the Golden Lubu Talisman?"
The Confucians present were all stunned as they looked at the shining golden talisman.
The Golden Lubu Talisman was a type of message talisman. However, it didn't hide the information within. Any cultivator who saw it could use their spiritual sense to check it out.
In ancient dynasties, each time there was a huge victory or a joyous matter, they would use this talisman to announce it to the world to let the people know.
"Does that stupid ruler want to play the Lubu Talisman trick?"
With a joking tone, one of them mocked out. However, the expressions of the people around slowly turned cold.
A few strands of Spiritual Sense probed upwards and touched the Golden Dew Talisman. When they used their spiritual senses to sense it, their bodies all shook, their faces ashen white.
"Ruler personally led the Imperial Army to defeat 800 thousand Taishang troops in the God Falling Force! He killed the enemy South Conquering General Feiyin and captured 20 Grade Four and above experts. Over 200 thousand surrendered and many weapons and armor were obtained. Regretting that the Taishang Emperor fled alone … What kind of joke is this? "
Yuting's body shook, using his hand to touch his forehead and nearly fainted on the spot.
How was that possible? Didn't they say that although the Jiuchi Palace had many troops, the 3 factions and the Imperial Army were confident in winning?
Even if that Zong Shou was lucky enough to escape, he could obtain large amounts of grain to support the South Border battle.
Why did they lose and wipe out all of them?
Speaking of which, those 400 thousand Dao Soldiers were all gone?
No! Taoist Faction Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry, Demon Sect Sky Demon War Cavalry and Yuanshi Demon Spirit Cavalry, how strong were they?
Even if they lost, they could still escape. It must be that Zong Shou faked his victory to calm the people down.
"It must be that Zong Shou faked his victory to calm the people down! This stupid ruler is about to die and still dares to play such a trick … "
Yuting didn't make a sound but Wang Wei gritted his teeth and helped him say those words.
"The Taishang had 800 thousand elites and 400 thousand Dao Soldiers, able to fight against 4 million enemies. How was it something he could swallow just because he wanted to?"
"That's right! Isn't the news a little too exaggerated? "
Everyone exchanged glances with one another and laughed while shaking their heads. However, their expressions weren't as relaxed as before.
In just a moment, there was a loud explosion outside the building and cheers rose up all around.
The few people present all had cultivation. Although they were hundreds of feet away, they could still hear it.
"Our Da Qian won! We really won! We wiped out the Taishang Elites, apart from 10 thousand Demon Cavalry escaping, the 800 thousand troops were wiped out. "
"Ruler built the Jiuchi Palace not to enjoy but to lure the enemy. This time, we will wipe out all the Dao Soldiers of Great Shang! "
"I told you that Ruler wouldn't be so dumb to such a level."
"Is it true or false? Looking at what was said in the document, it was hard to tell if it was true or false. It was a little mysterious. "
"The news spread out from the Country Guarding Duke. I heard that after the Country Guarding Duke heard it, he laughed out loud. He took 10 jugs of wine and invited friends and family to get drunk! "
"That's what the news from Duke Hao's Mansion said too. Our Da Qian has won and has entered the mid plains! "
"From today on, our Da Qian will be the ruler of the Cloud World!"
"The news I got here came from the dojo of the Kenzō Sect Hanshan Sect. Supposedly, the Dao Temples of the various Sword Sect sects in the city have already posted notices that they want to open their doors and recruit disciples! "
"That Cang Shengdao College is also prepared to recruit more students …"
Sentence after sentence spread into the ears of everyone, causing the atmosphere in the room to become more and more solemn.
If it was only the Da Qian who spread the news. It was just a one-man show. However, along with the Kenzō Sect and Cang Shengdao …
Exchanging glances with one another, the few Confucians saw that the faces of their opponents were ashen white, revealing a look of fear. Their hearts were also filled with shock.
Could it be that the news of victory was real?
"Not only that! I heard that when the Ruler defeated the enemy, there was a Fire Qilin by his side, majestic energy charging into the heavens, dragon and phoenix roaring. "
"Qilin by his side? Dragon and phoenix roaring? It seems like only the 3 ancient emperors in legends had that … "
"The teachers in the Common Life College also said that. They said that it was the aura of a Saint King! Monarch, he is the true living Saint Monarch! "
When he heard that, Yu Ting's expression relaxed. He shook his head, "What a joke! What Qilin, Saint Ruler? Even if it is fake, it doesn't need to be so exaggerated. "
He saw that one of the people was holding a paper crane that had flown over who knows when. His face was alternating between green and white, blood seeping out from the corner of his lips.
Yu Ting's brows furrowed, slightly curious, "Brother Li, why are you like that?"
Only then did that Prince Li raise his head, his eyes were like dead ashes as he swept the people seated.
"It is a message talisman from my Master. He had participated in the Forbidden Sky Domain Formation, so he had witnessed the battle with his own eyes. He said that the Dao soldiers of the 3 factions are all gone. The Taishang army is wiped out! The Ruler has a Qilin by his side, his body has the Saint King white energy and is protected by Heaven and Earth. Not only is he not an incapable ruler, but he is also not an enemy of the Confucians, he is the Saint King of the world! Zhu Zi has made a huge mistake, he is a sinner of our Confucian Faction … "
Their hearts nearly stopped beating, the few people in the room were all petrified.
"Shut up, you dare to slander the Saint …"
Those words were stuck in Yu Ting's throat, but he was unable to say it out.
The Master of the kid in front of him was just a slightly famous Confucian. What on earth gave him the courage to question the saints of the Middle Ages? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
