God Weird Fairy

Chapter 165 Chapter [-]: The first person to leave the capital will be the emperor.

With the enlightenment of the Winter Creation Saibo Yue Zai, the way of studying things in this world flourished, and spiritual treasures and magic weapons began to become popular.

Although these changes are mainly in the cultivation world, they also gradually affect the mortal dynasty, causing the productivity of the mortal world to continue to increase.

In this way, it was natural that Kanli shook the four great dynasties, and the population continued to grow.

Originally, about every hundred years or so, the four countries would tacitly agree to go to war, either in two-on-one battles, or in a melee between three or even four countries.

Then, by encouraging the people to actively join the army, forcing certain aristocratic families to lead the army, and fighting bloody battles on the border, they diverted the growing contradictions and pressures in the country.

But this time, the northern Kan Dynasty decided to take advantage of the situation to promote steam technology, innovate various industries, and build factories because of private research on steam engines, so as to relieve the pressure of population growth.

To put it simply, Kanchao in the north means watching the fire from the other side and not participating in the war.

Immediately afterwards, the Renaissance movement was launched in the West, and the people under the rule of the major fantasy alliances fought against each other in the name of orthodoxy in the literary world.

Now that internal civil wars have begun in the name of reviving martial arts and literature, the Western Dynasty can no longer fight externally.

In this way, Southern Lichao and Dongfang Zhenchao were left looking at each other.

Zhen Chao wanted to fight, but under the military system, it would be uncomfortable not to fight.

But when the previous Lihuang died suddenly, the new Lihuang succeeded to the throne in a hurry and didn't want to fight at all.

In the first year of Tianqi, when the Zhen Dynasty sent troops to harass Tumu Fort in Dalihan County, which bordered it, Emperor Li, who had just ascended the throne, opened his mouth to negotiate for peace.

Suddenly, the crowd in the court was filled with anger.

In particular, Emperor Li's fourth cousin, who arrived in Beijing only three days later than Emperor Li and missed out on the throne, reprimanded: "When my brother ascends the throne, it is time to repel the invading enemies and promote the prestige of our country to calm the people. Today, I and others We all want to fight to the death, so why do you want to negotiate for peace?"

Emperor Li was not angry, and said Congshan Ruliu: "What the emperor brother said is absolutely true. In that case, he worshiped the emperor brother as his commander, and asked to go to Tumu Fort in Han County to organize troops and horses on the spot to ward off the shock army."

Several ministers from the Nine Ministries who were most opposed to Emperor Li and were determined to take the lead in the war all went to Han County with Emperor Li's fourth cousin under the orders of Emperor Li.

Therefore, under the personal guarding of several ministers at their own expense, although Emperor Li did not send any troops or horses to Han County to support him, nor did he propose peace again, the Zhen army still retreated in peace.

After that, the two countries that were separated from each other started to steal the steam technology from Kanchao and introduced it to their respective countries to innovate various industries in order to cope with the pressure of population growth.

After Nan Yi traveled here and became familiar with the situation in Dali, he even felt familiar with the changing trends of the current situation.

For the people of Dali, the next few decades may be called the best era.

Because the day when productivity will increase by leaps and bounds, turn population pressure into demographic dividend, and drive explosive economic growth across the country, is already approaching.

Nan Yi was not the only one to see this prospect.Anyone with a good vision has reached a consensus.

A few months ago, when Nan Yi was still studying in the school, the lecturer Zhu Xianwei encouraged his students and once said: Today, a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years is approaching; in the next hundred years, everything will be changed. , a hundred years of redefining the program.

The redefinition of the outline seems to be just a change in the rules of the world, but in fact it corresponds to the reshuffling of the right to speak among different forces in the spiritual world.

After all, the monks within each country, such as the immortal sects in Nanzhou, are not monolithic.Like the nine tribes of Dali, including the royal family, the reason why their authority is different is the difference in the right to speak.

But the so-called rules in the world are actually agreements between monks and herdsmen.

As long as the people follow the rules and take certain things for granted, they will actually provide credibility to certain moral principles.

When the Kan Dynasty in the north promoted steam technology, revolutionized all industries, and brought about changes in the world's current situation, it was also ushering in a great spiritual world in the steam age.

The Renaissance movement like the Western Dynasty was so bloody that it was precisely because behind the scenes, the Western Fantasy Alliance was fighting for the right to speak in the steam age and to set the rules and regulations of the new era.

The four great dynasties of Kanli Zhendui correspond respectively to Beihuang Brahma Palace, Nanzhou Xianmen, Dongyuan Xuanzong, and Xijing Huanmeng, that is, East Xuan, West Huan, South Immortal, and North Brahma.

Due to the terrain of mountains and rivers, the entire Western Territory is divided like a chessboard. Although it makes the Western Territory easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be a small corner, but it also makes it difficult to unite the Western Territory.

It's called Dui Chao, but it's actually an alliance.

Seeing that the world of cultivation was about to come, the Western Fantasy Alliance simply started fighting among themselves.

As for the Li Dynasty in the south, the sudden death of the previous Emperor Li was the beginning of overt and covert struggles.

The Dali Imperial Family, as the largest family in the Li Dynasty, is actually one family, the Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Sect is the same family.

All Yuanshi Immortal Sect monks are descendants of the royal family.

Such a situation naturally resulted in a small number of Yuanshi Immortal Sect disciples.

Of course, this is also the balance constraint after the game among the immortal sects.

Since the heirs of the royal family can enjoy the fortune of the dynasty after entering Taoism and can easily become invincible at the same level and dominate the contemporary generation, it is natural to limit the scale of Yuanshi Celestial Sect and prevent Yuanshi Celestial Sect from recruiting outsiders.

As luck would have it, Emperor Li was still young when he took office, and he was the only young yellow-level monk in the Yuanshi Immortal Sect at that time.

When many monks realized that the great era of spiritual practice was approaching and a new round of reshuffle was about to begin, the emperor Li died unexpectedly and suddenly, announcing that the Yuanshi Immortal Sect would be the first to withdraw from the struggle for the right to speak in the new era.

Yuanshi Xianmen has long been accustomed to this.

Every time he practiced cultivation, Li Huang would die suddenly and inexplicably.

So much so that there are rumors among the people that few emperors in the succession have lived a long life. This may be because the royal bloodline has congenital diseases and the heirs are too young.

Because the emperor left the capital and had no descendants, the royal clan elders wrote to the cousins ​​of the emperor who left the capital first, saying: The one who enters the capital first will be the emperor.

They were careful and sent out the letters at the same time. The first person to arrive in Lijing was the fourth cousin of the current Emperor Li.

As a result, the current Emperor Li came to the capital that day to impeach Shangguan. Without receiving the letter, he entered the capital first and succeeded Emperor Li.

Normally, even if the children of the royal family who have never entered Taoism and practiced Taoism are assigned to serve as officials in various counties, they can only do a casual job in name only.

A royal child like Emperor Li who wanted to impeach his superiors and even went to Beijing privately to do so was really an anomaly.

The patriarch of the royal family did not expect that by chance, he would be defeated by the current emperor.

But after agreeing on a first-come-first-serve basis, they had no choice but to let the current Emperor Li succeed to the throne.

However, when Emperor Li ascended the throne, neither the elders of the royal family nor the officials of the nine ministries took Emperor Li seriously.

After all, Li Huang is a mortal.

All the monks regard the current Emperor Li as a transition.

As a result, the current Emperor Li has a strong desire for power and is not a peaceful ruler.

He did not have the consciousness of being a puppet emperor at all. In order to truly grasp the imperial power, he did not hesitate to fight against hundreds of officials alone. He started with "rules" to investigate whether the officials were competent or not, and created the "Geometric Crime", the largest scandal in the history of leaving the dynasty. Demotion and resignation case.

When a monk controls an official body, and then becomes an official immortal, he must first be an official and then become an immortal.

Although Emperor Li was a mortal, he could easily get rid of his status as a monk with good reason.Originally, the various immortal sects in Nanzhou planned to impeach and criticize each other after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and try to exclude officials from other immortal sects.

However, after the "Geometry Crime" case, it was discovered that Lihuang did not follow the routine. As long as anyone was impeached, Lihuang would definitely remove him first on the pretext of proving his innocence.

Instead, the major immortal sects ceased their activities in a tacit agreement and stopped impeaching and criticizing each other - after all, if the impeachment continued, all civil and military officials in the dynasty would be dismissed by Emperor Li.

Lihuang's attitude is very simple: If you don't do it, there will be people who will do it. If I continue to mess around, I will recruit officials from various counties and try my best. No matter how bad I do, I will not be worse than you. On the other hand, all the ministers, since they will not let me go. In my eyes, what's the use of staying in the court?

At this time, the major immortal monks were somewhat suppressed by Emperor Li.

Although Emperor Li transferred officials from various counties, they were basically all disciples of the Immortal Sect, which would not cause much harm to the interests of the Immortal Sect.

But for the immortal monks who have a position in the court, there is no reason to give up the high-ranking official position they have finally won to their fellow disciples.

It can only be said that although Emperor Li was just a mortal, he was not taken seriously by the immortal monks at the beginning.

But precisely because Emperor Li was a mortal, he could completely ignore the world of cultivation and only act according to the "rules" of the mortal world, which actually stumped the monks.

After all, they could not attack Emperor Li directly, and they could not interfere with Emperor Li's cultivation without leaving a trace to cause him to die violently. Faced with the mortal emperor who was bent on finding faults and wanting to depose hundreds of officials, the monks and officials had no choice but to give up.

In other words, we no longer rely on outside tactics such as impeachment and criticism, or even direct disputes over military ethics. Instead, we can honestly write articles and just rely on words to argue about what kind of rules and regulations should be in place after the introduction of steam technology.

As a result, when leaving Beijing, there was no final decision on how to regulate steam technology. However, a memorial was reported from Chu County, saying that someone in the jurisdiction had developed a martial art of internal martial arts, which could allow ordinary people to touch the edge of practice.

Chu Kuangsheng made this memorial, first of all, he wanted to make a difference, and through merit similar to Xian Xiangrui, he could offset the mistake of accidentally falling into the Eternal Bright Fire Sect's plan, and had to use Chu County's luck.

Secondly, he wanted to send Nan Yi away.

Chu Kuangsheng saw that Nan Yi had a bright future, and if he stayed in Chu County for a long time, it would definitely threaten his son Chu Tianxing's succession to the throne in the future.

In this case, Chu Kuangsheng took the initiative to build up momentum to praise Nan Yi and his internal martial arts, and wrote a special book about Nan Yi's counterattack and foundation building with his internal skills.

He firmly believed that as a mortal, Emperor Li would definitely summon Nan Yi to Beijing.

And Li Huang was indeed moved.

In the Dali royal family, unless one possesses spiritual roots and can awaken their innate supernatural powers early, otherwise one is doomed to die suddenly if one is to receive the original energy as a mortal.

Li Huang's mortal body was not because he did not want to enter Taoism and practice, but because he did not dare to receive the source of Qi.

But now, after hearing that Nan Yi had developed internal martial arts, Emperor Li immediately wanted to summon Nan Yi to Beijing.

However, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were unwilling to do so.

In particular, the Wuxiang Xianmen, that is, the officials of the Ministry of Culture, said that Nan Yi had not yet entered school, so how could he neglect his studies, thereby refuting Emperor Li's intention to summon Nan Yi to Beijing.

Although Emperor Li was domineering, he had to act according to the rules and not be unscrupulous.

Faced with the righteous refutations of hundreds of officials, he had no choice but to press the matter aside for the time being.

It wasn't until Gongye Qingtian unleashed the catastrophe of reincarnation and destroyed Nantian City that Emperor Li found an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of Chu County. He appointed Du Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who had a good relationship with him, to go to Chu County in person as an imperial envoy.

Du Heng arrived at Nantian City, spent only one day considering the current situation of Chu County, and then made a charter. Using Shangfang's sword as a guide, he announced the edict on behalf of Emperor Li, with the Tianxian in his mouth:

Han Qing, the former head of the Wu'an Supervisor of Nantian City, was appointed to the post of county governor, and the assessment will be held in six months. If after half a year, Chu County's luck returns to [-]% of the level before the catastrophe of reincarnation, he can be Han Dynasty Chu and formally appointed as the county governor of Han County.

——During the catastrophe of reincarnation, Nantian City’s luck was reduced by more than [-]%; however, Nantian City’s luck was not the same as Chu County’s luck. As far as Chu County as a whole was concerned, the catastrophe of reincarnation damaged Chu County’s luck by about [-]%. .

Afterwards, Du Heng learned that Nanyi had returned to Nanshan County, so he went to Nanshan County in person.

"I have two decrees from Emperor Li. One is to directly summon you to Beijing for an audience; the other is to ask you to follow me to Yingzhou Island. After calming down the chaos on Yingzhou Island, I will return to Lijing with my achievements. .”

Du Heng looked at Nan Yi and smiled lightly: "I wonder which edict Nanlang is willing to accept? Or should I say, resist the edict and refuse to obey?"

Um?Two edicts?

Nan Yi instantly realized the subtlety of it.

Going to Beijing for an audience seemed like just a chat with Emperor Li, but in fact he was involved in the core of the political dispute in the Dali Immortal Sect.

At present, the moral dispute in the Xianmen political arena is originally about the struggle for the right to define the new regulations of the steam era.

But if Nan Yi comes to Beijing, his Zhen Qi martial arts can also lead the trend and set off a great world of Zhen Qi era cultivation.

When the Qi era collides with the steam era, the future trend will become even more confusing.

Therefore, the Xianmen official cultivators did not welcome Nan Yi to Beijing.

Even if Nan Yi only spreads the Qi of Immortality and prevents ordinary warriors from easily threatening the monks, all the officials and immortals frowned.

If all the people practiced martial arts and did not concentrate on working in factories, the effectiveness of the herdsmen with steam technology would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that steam technology was stolen from the Kan Dynasty, and there is no original owner in Dali. A group of monks can try to define the new rules of the steam age in Dali and carve up the covenant of herdsmen in the new era.

But Zhenqi martial arts originated from Nan Yi, and it can be called Nan Yi's one-word hall.

It is difficult for Nanzhou monks to compete with Nan Yi for the definition of Zhenqi martial arts.

In Chu County, all the masters from various academies were transferred to Yingzhou Island, and Tao Zhiming could almost cover the sky with one hand.

With Tao Zhiming's support, Nan Yi's promotion of Zhenqi Martial Arts is generally smooth sailing.

At most, the Liudao Pavilion sold the details of Nan Yi's "Full Healing" talent to Moxiu Gongshao, or the governor Chu Kuangsheng acquiesced, and some monks may have secretly leaked the news to the outside world.

The details are difficult to sort out.But Nan Yi only traced the source and secretly attacked and killed Du Yuanfu, which was regarded as exposing the matter.

However, the smooth flow in Chu County does not mean that after entering Beijing, one can easily promote Zhenqi Martial Arts to the entire Dali.

If Nanyi wants to go up, the battle over the road is inevitable.

Du Heng was willing to let Nan Yi choose according to Li Huang's two edicts, which meant that Du Heng lived up to Li Huang and did not hinder Nan Yi because of the interests of the Immortal Sect.

Nan Yi pondered in his heart.

First of all, if you refuse to obey the decree, you will definitely not do it.

If he resists the order, it will only give other monks an excuse to label his warriors as demons.

As for going directly to the capital for an audience, it would be fine if Nan Yi only taught internal martial arts, or only taught Li Huang Changsheng Qi.

But if he wants to take the opportunity to promote Zhenqi Martial Arts, it is best to have some merit as a foundation for his career.
