Li Shimin was not the only one who vaguely understood. The others also seemed to have realized something.
The people here were indeed the top talents of this world's civilization.
Even though they lacked knowledge due to the era and the scope of their vision, their thinking ability was definitely not bad.
Clove's gaze moved away from Li Shimin and looked at the rest of the people. He said slowly, "The life of a mortal is only a few decades. How short is it? Most of them are muddle-headed and don't know what to do. However, there are some people who have ambitions, such as leaving their names in history, such as making their families prosper, such as achieving success and fame. Such people only want to preserve themselves and devote their lives to it."
Following Clove's words, many people fell silent.
They were thinking.
Did they also have such a self? It was something that they needed to spend their lives pursuing.
Some people quickly got the answer.
For example, some talents of the aristocratic families clearly knew that what they wanted was the prosperity of their families.
Another example was Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the others. As prime ministers of the current era, part of what they wanted was naturally fame.
Of course, there were also some people who fell into confusion.
For example, Zhangsun Wuji.
He recalled that when he and his sister were driven out of the Zhangsun family, he had held his breath and wanted to stand out, even to become the head of the Zhangsun family.
At this moment, his wish at that time had become a reality. His sister was the empress of the current era, and he had also become a high official.
However, it had been a long time since he thought so deeply about what he wanted for the rest of his life.
For power, for fame, or for wealth? Or to fight for his dignity?
"If people have a self, they are all different, but they all have a common goal." Lilac's voice continued, "What the vast majority of people seek is only wealth, power, and fame. These are human desires. However, if everyone seeks these three, then everyone will strive for profit and not benefit the world. This is why there is a decline after the peak of prosperity, a rise after the decline, and a change in the dynasty."
Hearing the last sentence, Li Shimin's body trembled.
His heart could not help but thump.
Looking at history, the change of dynasties was not a struggle for wealth and power.
Take the Sui Dynasty for example.
Yang Guang strived for fame, he wanted to gather all the merits of his lifetime, but all the benefits he strived for came from the hands of the aristocratic families and the common people. Therefore, the common people rose in revolt, and the Sui Dynasty was destroyed.
Alas, he still couldn't escape the competition for benefits. He had to compete with the clans and the other races.
Looking further down, the aristocratic families also had to compete with the common people.
If there really came a day when this kind of struggle for benefits could not be eased, to the extent that one side could not accept it, then the world would inevitably be in chaos.
This seemed to be an unsolvable situation.
However, at this moment, the Fairy used the simplest logic to explain the essential reason.
It made him feel like he was suddenly enlightened.
Even …
He had a vague feeling that the fairy was going to impart the Great Dao that could solve this unsolvable problem for thousands of years.
But when he thought of this possibility, Li Shimin's heart could not stop beating.
This was related to the future of the dynasty!
"Therefore, the reason for the development of civilization is to guide the people's self-awareness! Make it beneficial to the family, the people, and the country! "Clove did not keep them in suspense and directly threw out the most important step of guidance!
From the beginning, Clove had no intention of directly imparting the philosophy of the modern system.
Because it might not be suitable.
The modern system had the soil unique to the modern system, and it was in the process of being constantly improved. Forcefully moving it would only make a mess of everything.
After all, this era was still the most primitive form of feudal civilization. There was also a cultivation system that could not be ignored, and there were also evil spirits that constantly appeared!
These were all problems that did not exist in ordinary modern society.
Their future direction, the system of their entire civilization, could only be explored and developed by themselves.
And what Clove wanted to do.
It was to lead them onto the path of development, and use the identity of an Immortal to instill the concept of "development" itself into them.
At this moment.
Everyone looked up at the Fairy Clove. Some of their faces were red, some were trembling, and some were confused.
However, everyone felt as if a door that they had never seen before was slowly opening in front of them.
The entire place was silent, and only Clove's voice could be heard.
"The method of guidance is like thinking and morality. It is not fixed and changes with cause and effect. It requires the thinker to constantly search for it with the changes of generations. However, in today's world, I can give an example." Lilac raised her hand, and another illusory image appeared. This was the scene of evil spirits harming people. "Evil spirits have appeared in the world, slaughtering living creatures and spreading fear. Only a brave martial artist can use the art of controlling ghosts to fight them, and only then can they win. Using their own lives to protect the common people, is this beneficial to the common people of the country?"
People looked at the ferocious images of evil spirits.
Even if they knew that this was just an illusion, they still felt a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, a few figures suddenly appeared in the portrait.
They were Cheng Yaojin and the others.
They protected the people behind them and drove the evil spirits forward to fight. The shadows of the ghosts were heavy, and it was extremely dangerous.
And the scene changed again.
It was a night of fighting. The evil spirits were killed, and the sun rose from the horizon. The rescued villagers knelt down and kowtowed to Cheng Yaojin and the others. Their expressions were full of gratitude.
Even Cheng Yaojin, who was usually carefree and looked like a ruffian, just smiled foolishly at this moment.
Everyone seemed to understand.
"This move is naturally beneficial to the country and the people." Li Shimin said with a serious expression. "We all look up to this merit."
"The Immortal Monarch has said so." Clove said slowly. "A ghost controller is born in response to a calamity. Since he has been given the method, he should shoulder the safety of the world. That is, only those who seek to protect the world can become a ghost controller. You can announce their achievements to the world, erect a monument to remember them, and let the people of the world know of their achievements and know of themselves, so that they will be respected and appreciated. Supplemented by their achievements and honors, there will certainly be people who will yearn for them, and will also regard them as themselves. "
Many people were dumbfounded by his words.
The meaning in Clove's words was very obvious.
Since the actions of these Ghost Controllers were beneficial to the country, they should be widely publicized to let people know of their greatness, their mission, and their merits. In addition to the rewards of meritorious service and status, there would definitely be people who would want to join them and protect the people of the world as their lifelong goal.
And this kind of behavior was what the Immortal Monarch said, guiding the people to themselves!
Understood!
In this era, there was no lack of talents who could draw inferences from one case. Many people already understood when he said this.
"Those who benefit the country and the people can get the position." Kong Yingda murmured. It was unclear whether he was happy or complicated.
