Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 278 I'm going to tear up the sky (end) [Three in one]

At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court had not yet realized Emperor Taiyu's true thoughts, and they just thought he was being stubborn.

And they were very dissatisfied with their previous operations.

So I'm still trying to persuade him.

Some mentioned the interests of the country and the nation, others talked about the people of the world and the common people. Everyone hoped very much that Emperor Taiyu would lead the army in person and use his destiny to eliminate the Lu family who attempted to destroy the aristocratic family.

Emperor Taiyu was also very cunning. He knew that if he made up an excuse to shirk his responsibility, it would be bad for his reputation.

So after half an hour of procrastination.

In the end, he agreed to lead the army in person.

Where's the cunning part?

The cunning thing about him was that after leaving court, he fell into the lake while swimming and caught a cold. The imperial physician diagnosed that the cold had entered his body and he had to stay in bed to recuperate. Then he pushed his twelve-year-old son, his wife and his mother all to the court.

He let his son act as regent, while his wife and mother ruled the country from behind the scenes as empress and empress dowager. He himself stayed in bed, did not see any officials, and took care of his health.

This completely confused all the officials.

Because they knew very well that Emperor Taiyu was the only one who had the Mandate of Heaven, and his son could not inherit his Mandate of Heaven. But now Emperor Taiyu said that he was bedridden. They could not force the bedridden emperor to hold on to his body and go to the battlefield in person.

This is unacceptable and no one dares to mention it.

Although Emperor Taiyu's operation was a bit rough, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was pretending to be sick, or deliberately making himself sick. But the beauty of this kind of thing is that there is no way to disprove it. They can't just pull the emperor out, then find a group of doctors to diagnose his pulse and say that he is not sick.

Then all the officials became undoubtedly even more anxious, and what made them feel most frustrated was that no matter how anxious they were, they could not urge them.

Who can urge the emperor to get better quickly?

The best they could do was pray that the emperor would get better soon.

But as the saying goes, a person pretending to be asleep is hard to wake up, and the same is true for a person pretending to be sick. It is naturally hard to revive him. All the officials’ efforts for a long time were in vain.

But Bai Sheng will not stop expanding.

Therefore, in the end they had no choice but to draw on the power of the imperial court while concentrating their own resources and manpower as much as possible to form an army of two million again. However, this time they did not rush to attack Bai Sheng. Instead, they surrounded Bai Sheng first and then sent people to negotiate.

The negotiation terms are quite explicit.

To sum up, as long as Bai Sheng is willing to let these powerful families go, they can guarantee that they will not resist next time, allowing Bai Sheng to easily defeat them.

The kind that goes straight to the capital city without any obstacles along the way.

During this period of time, they have also understood that Emperor Taiyu's goal is probably the same as that of the Lu family. They want to kill the noble families like them, or even want to completely wipe them out. If they were not very sure that Emperor Taiyu and that Lu family did not know each other, they would almost doubt whether everything now was a double act between the two of them?

Not so bullying.

Because of this, their only idea now is to let Emperor Taiyu and that Lu family face off directly as much as possible, so as to force Emperor Taiyu to take action.

The simplest way to achieve this goal is to let Lu go straight to the capital and attack it quickly. If Emperor Taiyu still says that he is ill in bed, then it is also possible to let Lu go to the capital and let her attack the palace with all her strength.

As for the nature of doing this and whether it would be considered treason, is it important to them?

Mencius said: If the ruler regards his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their own heart and soul; if the ruler regards his subjects as dogs and horses, then the subjects will regard the ruler as their fellow countrymen; if the ruler regards his subjects as dirt, then the subjects will regard the ruler as an enemy. Now Emperor Taiyu wants to kill all of their noble families. If they were not afraid of the will of heaven, they would not need the Lu family at all, and they would kill him themselves.

Unfortunately, Bai Sheng knew very well what they were thinking.

At the same time, I don't buy into their tricks at all.

Although Bai Sheng was confident that he could deal with Emperor Taiyu's so-called destiny, he could directly attack the capital first, destroy Emperor Taiyu, and then deal with the major powerful families.

It's just a matter of sequence.

But she still prefers to destroy the powerful families first.

Because this order of precedence is actually a bit particular. Bai Sheng is still considered a traitor, and all his actions are operations during the war. During the war, doing something slightly out of line and not so law-abiding is excusable, and no one will say anything, or can't blame anything?
After all, war is a life-and-death struggle!
Not to mention just destroying the powerful families, there were also cases of plundering all the people in the city, and even massacring the entire city, because the purpose of war is to destroy the enemy's manpower as much as possible and strive to improve one's own strength.

As long as Bai Sheng fails to capture the capital.

One day he did not proclaim himself emperor.

Then many things do not need to be done according to the rules, and there is no need to consider the impact of legal provisions or the impact on future generations.

But once she conquered the capital, if other counties and states did not openly oppose and promote a new emperor, even if she did not officially ascend the throne, it would generally be assumed that she was already the emperor of the new dynasty. At this time, if many powerful families gave in, although she could still take action against them, she would be somewhat restrained.

Because emperors and traitors are different.

It is also different from the separatist warlords.

If the founding emperor himself does not follow the rules at the beginning, there will be even less rules in the future.

The root cause of the downfall of many dynasties was laid in the generation of the founding emperors, such as the Li Tang dynasty's loving fathers and filial sons, and the friendship between brothers and respect for younger brothers, and the Zhao Song dynasty's emphasis on culture and despises military power.

Not all the noble families were at fault. Some of them, at least according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, did not do anything wrong. At most, they found some loopholes. But there is a saying that goes, if the revolution is not thorough, it is equal to no revolution. If we cannot completely destroy the entire noble family class with thundering means, and then completely eliminate the possibility of their resurgence in the future through laws and policies.

Then there is a high probability that they will be resurrected in the future.

Or reincarnation.

Change the form and continue.

Although there are no powerful families, there will certainly continue to be the emergence of aristocratic families, local gentry factions, and academic cliques in the future. Through three or five generations of accumulation, they will be transformed into some cancers or not, but they will indeed hinder the stubborn existence of class mobility.

But at least it allows for the initial booming stage.

Maintain it for a while longer.

The fact that Liu Xiu compromised with most of the aristocratic families and founded the Second Han Empire lasted shorter than any other Han Empire is a major proof of this.

Even if it is for your future goals.

There was no way Bai Sheng would compromise with them.

So she directly killed the messenger, and then led troops to meet the enemy. At the same time, in order to reduce casualties, she used the same trick again. Under the rapid attack of hundreds of thousands of blood and qi poisonous insects, the two million troops that many wealthy families had emptied of their family assets were quickly defeated and captured.

The moment the news came out, the vast majority of wealthy and powerful families had to face up to the reality, that is, even if the traitor Lu was not the Son of Destiny, he at least had strength that was not weaker than the Son of Destiny, or in other words, strange means.

At the same time, the attitudes of both the enemy and us are very firm.

That means they didn't want to let them live at all.

After a very frustrating and painful negotiation, they jointly decided to make one last attempt, this time not to find Bai Sheng, but to find Tai Yu Di, and almost openly stated what kind of compromises they were willing to make in the future.

I just hope Emperor Taiyu won’t stand by and watch me die.

At the same time, they also specifically pointed out that the Lu family traitors had many strange tricks and it was possible that they would win.

If the Lu family is really allowed to become completely powerful.

Maybe destiny will also change.

However, Emperor Taiyu didn't listen at all and was still sick, with a feeling of "what can you do to me?"
Then the aristocratic families went crazy.

Completely mad and fearless.

While they took away some core personnel, direct descendants, and assets that were easier to carry away and transferred them to places outside the Han Empire, they began to retaliate frantically against Bai Sheng and Tai Yudi.

There's no hope anyway, it's impossible to maintain peace, and they don't even give you a chance to surrender, so why can't I go crazy?
There are many specific performances and operations.

For example, many places in Baisheng were poisoned, and many assassins carried out suicide attacks with gunpowder. They destroyed fertile fields by spreading salt on their own land, and they did not want their fields to be taken away and owned by others.

For example, they piled manure into the well, poisoned the pigs, cattle and sheep at home and threw them into the river, and burned all the food and grass.

For example, assassinating some important people.

Of course, compared to Emperor Taiyu, Bai Sheng’s losses were actually relatively good, because Emperor Taiyu lost all his relatives in just three days.

His mother, a concubine in the harem.

As well as the prince and several other children.

All of them were assassinated or poisoned, with no one surviving. A large number of his cronies were also killed in the palace, and even the food he ate was filled with various poisons. He was also assassinated many times.

The aristocratic families have been driven crazy by him and Bai Sheng, who have joined forces tacitly even though they have never met. Naturally, they will no longer have any scruples. The power and foundation they have accumulated over thousands of years are also extremely terrifying. Going crazy will only make them even more terrifying.

After all, the arrogant ones are afraid of those who don't care about their lives.

Now they are the kind who don't care about their lives.

As mentioned before, the core of Liu Taiyu's destiny lies in himself. When his father and his brothers and sisters were killed, didn't nothing happen?
So his mother, wife and children were killed.

Naturally, it is difficult to trigger destiny!
It was not until he was assassinated or poisoned that destiny finally reacted, such as killing the assassins with chopping them to death and preventing him from being poisoned to death.

Along with his mother, wife and children all died.

Emperor Taiyu was also half crazy.

He directly mobilized all the soldiers he could mobilize and led the army in person. Instead of fighting Bai Sheng, he directly blockaded the capital and carried out a massacre in the capital.

All the noble families are within the scope of killing.

It is better to kill by mistake than to let go.

He didn't know which noble family had attacked his mother, wife, and children, but he knew it must have been a noble family. This matter could not be blamed on the traitor Lu family, and he was too lazy to distinguish. As long as all the noble families in the capital were killed, it would be considered revenge. It can be said that the whole world has been in chaos since then.

The orthodox imperial court and the traitorous rebels.

They all raised their knives to kill the aristocratic families.

At the same time, the top leaders of both sides, Bai Sheng and Tai Yu Emperor, became lonely people in the true sense, without children, heirs or descendants.

At this time, the aristocratic families were no longer able to resist.

They could only either wait for death, or try to change their names, hide their identities, pretend to be poor people or ordinary people, or escape from the Han Empire and go to the wilderness to survive.

So in reality, it is unlikely to completely eliminate them, we can only destroy their foundation.

Let them never dare to show their heads again.

As time went by, in just half a year, Bai Sheng had taken over all the places except the capital, and all the aristocratic families in those places had been purged and tried.

The aristocratic families in the capital.

They were all solved by Emperor Taiyu.

What followed was of course a decisive battle between the two sides. Bai Sheng led a million-strong army to surround the capital, while Emperor Taiyu personally led a hundred thousand imperial guards to go out and meet the enemy.

Bai Sheng has confidence in himself.

Emperor Taiyu also has confidence in his destiny as an emperor.

As the battle between the two sides began and Emperor Taiyu gradually showed signs of defeat, the sky, as expected, changed from its previous cloudless state to a densely covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds intertwined with each other and continuously produced endless thunder.

Bai Sheng's men have begun to become restless.

Some of those who were at the back even dropped their weapons and ran away.

In order to prevent his men from losing their morale, Bai Sheng could only quickly manifest the image of Taishan Lord who looked exactly like his son Lu Ying, and instantly soared to a height of ten thousand meters, covering the sky with one hand, and tearing the dark clouds apart in an instant.

Afterwards, he chased into the sky.

He mobilized all his magic power and tried his best to tear apart the golden network above that was invisible to ordinary mortals.

The next second, Emperor Taiyu died with blood gushing out of all his orifices.

Victory is decided.

It seemed simple and took less than three minutes in total, but it was the result of Bai Sheng's more than ten years of planning and hard work.

There is not much spiritual energy in this world, and it is very difficult to practice. It is too slow to practice by just absorbing and exhaling the essence of the sun and the moon. Bai Sheng is reluctant to draw the spiritual energy from her own plane to practice. Therefore, she finally chose to practice with faith and luck. She gained the power of faith by spreading the news that her son was the Lord of Mount Tai, and gained the power of luck by conquering more territories. The combination of the two allowed her to break through to the perfect state of overcoming the tribulation in just ten years.

Of course, this is not actually accurate.

To be precise, he possesses a Dharma image that has reached the state of perfect tribulation, the Dharma image of the Lord of Mount Tai, and can use the Dharma image to achieve the state of perfect tribulation, or even a higher level of strength.

As for Liu's so-called destiny.

Bai Sheng had never been sure what it was until ten years ago when Liu Taiyu touched the destiny and caused the thunder to descend to the world. Although Bai Sheng was far away from the scene of the incident at that time, she could still vaguely sense some of the aura and made appropriate guesses.

Use the luck of faith to practice the Dharma image of the Lord of Mount Tai.

It was also decided at that time.

However, it was just a guess at the time, and he was not completely sure what the source of destiny was. It was not until just now that Bai Sheng came face to face with Liu's destiny and destroyed and refined it that he was completely sure what that thing was!
Bai Sheng didn’t know his original name.

But Bai Sheng thinks it can be called——

Liu's Heavenly Humane Law Network (Incomplete Edition)

When Emperor Gaozu of Han was in power, he created the embryonic form of Liu's legal network through the imperial seal carved from a special treasure and the White Horse Alliance, which was an oath that if anyone other than a member of the Liu family became king, the whole world would fight against him.

As Liu's rule gradually gained popularity among the people and the humanitarian fortune created by several prosperous times reached its peak, the Liu family's humanitarian law network soon gradually improved on its own.

Of course, all this is just coincidence.

The core lies in the special nature of the imperial seal.

The jade used to carve the imperial seal should be a natural magic weapon for luck and fortune. Somehow, it happened to be carved into a seal. Although it has not been artificially refined, it can indeed exert some of the power of a magic weapon for luck and fortune.

However, more than two hundred years were not enough for the Liu family's network of human law to be completely formed, so Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, at this time, the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun broke a corner of the imperial seal in anger, which indirectly stimulated this magical weapon of fortune.

It made them automatically protect their master, stimulated the Liu family's human law network which had not yet been fully formed, and bestowed them with the destiny.

After that, Liu Xiu came and continued the Han Dynasty.

Then it took another two hundred years to develop.

The Liu family's network of human justice was finally formed.

However, the humane law network has a characteristic, which is that it will suppress the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and eliminate all monsters and demons. Therefore, the process of the birth of Liu's humane law network is also the process in which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world is constantly suppressed and gradually disappears. As a result, the entire cultivation world rapidly declines.

At first, the monks didn't understand the reason at all.

It was not until the moment when Liu's Heavenly Human Law Network was completely formed that they discovered the root of the problem and realized that if they did not destroy this thing, they would only wait for death.

Then Zhang Jiao suddenly appeared. He was a being pushed forward by the monks to destroy the human law network.

The Blue Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should be established. Strictly speaking, this is not a slogan, but their goal.

In the end, they basically achieved their goal.

Relying on the humanitarian beliefs and faith gathered by millions of Yellow Turban Army, it turned into a huge blade.

It cuts ruthlessly into the humanitarian law network.

Although the humanitarian law network was not completely destroyed, it was basically abolished. This was why there were decades of chaos later. If there had been no accidents, the Liu family's humanitarian law network would have never recovered and would have disappeared completely. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhan appeared in the middle. He got the small piece of the broken imperial seal and refined it with blood.

Then he had the authority over the Liu family's human law network. In the absence of other rulers, he could actually be barely considered the master of the Liu family's human law network.

In the moment of crisis, he did not hesitate to damage the already damaged foundation of Liu's Cangtian Human Law Network, resulting in a local earthquake that caused the two mountains to close together.

An army of three hundred thousand was destroyed.

The price was that the Liu family's human law network, which could have lasted for more than a hundred years, began to collapse. However, as the matter spread quickly, countless people felt that the Liu family's destiny was not over. The huge humanitarian faith and humanitarian luck directly helped the Liu family's human law network to survive again.

With Liu Zhan's ascension to the throne, he took back the imperial seal.

The Liu family's humane law network eventually recovered slowly with the help of humane beliefs and humane luck, but its foundation was damaged after all, so it could only be considered an incomplete version.

At the same time, it was also because Liu Zhan had once sacrificed his blood.

In the later period, even a vague spirituality was born.

The role of this vague spirituality is that when the people of the world are full of resentment, it will choose the descendants of Liu Zhan who are talented in spiritual practice, grant them the mission, and restore the country.

This move is not only for the Liu family's kingdom.

It is also for the growth of the humanitarian law network itself.

It is something that was nurtured by the Liu family's imperial fortune, humanitarian fortune, and humanitarian beliefs. Naturally, it also needs these things to restore its foundation and improve itself.

Only in prosperous times are these three things most abundant.

If public resentment arises, it will also cause damage to it.

Therefore, it is natural that its vague spirituality would want to eliminate public grievances and hope for a prosperous era.

As for the different manifestations of destiny, it is mainly related to the talent of the person with destiny. For example, Liu Zhan has the talent of earth and fire, so the Liu family's Cangtian Human Law Network can use his body's talent as a medium to create earthquakes and magma. Liu Yu is the source of all plagues, which can both cause plagues and eliminate plagues. Liu Ming is an innate Taoist body, which can have any attributes, so naturally there can be any natural disasters, and any natural disasters can also be eliminated.

Therefore, when destiny chooses, it first looks at bloodline and secondly at talent for cultivation. If one does not have talent, it is useless even if the bloodline is close.

Although the humanitarian law will suppress spiritual energy.

But as the saying goes, the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to do so. The Humanitarian Law Network only does not allow monks to practice, but does not impose any restrictions on itself. In order to eliminate public grievances as soon as possible and unify the world, it is only natural for the Humanitarian Law Network to do some appropriate manipulation.

Liu Taiyu has a talent for thunder attribute.

So his destiny is naturally as powerful as thunder and lightning.

Ten years ago, Bai Sheng had keenly sensed the aura of some human luck and human faith, and guessed that the so-called destiny might be related to these two, so she chose to use the human luck and human faith to practice the Dharma image of the Lord of Mount Tai in order to deal with this so-called destiny.

As for why we chose the image of Lord Taishan.

That was mainly because, when Bai Sheng was unaware of the origin of destiny, she had already given her son the identity of the Lord of Mount Tai and publicized it. So at that time, the fact that her son was the Lord of Mount Tai was already known to everyone and deeply rooted in people's hearts. At this time, creating a new god was obviously not worth the loss.

So Bai Sheng simply took this as the basis.

Practice the Dharma image of the Lord of Mount Tai.

It can also completely establish her son's status as a god.

With the doubts basically resolved, Bai Sheng's next step was of course to clean up the mess, formulate new laws and systems, and carry out a comprehensive reform from top to bottom, and then stayed here for another twenty years.

In the end, the Dharma image of the Lord of Mount Tai was left, along with the humanitarian law network that was reshaped after being transformed by Bai Sheng.

Then he pulled away from this world.
