All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 201 Spelling Out the Sentence

"When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer."

Wang Tong's expression changed slightly as he murmured this cautionary saying.

In just a few words, his deep concern for the country and its people is fully revealed. Could it be that this eccentric emperor truly has the ambition to bring peace to the world?

But that alone is far from enough to persuade Wang Tong to come out of seclusion.

Wang Tong represents not only himself, but also the Confucian power behind him.

After Wang Tong turned thirty, he stopped using force and stopped serving as an official. Instead, he devoted himself to teaching, and his students were spread throughout the martial arts world and the imperial court. His influence was so great that if Wang Gan could gain his support, he would undoubtedly control most of the righteous cause and the voice of the people in the Central Plains!

The so-called emperor is the one with the strongest army and the most powerful horses.

This statement is not wrong, but it is not absolute. After all, there are too many powerful forces in chaotic times. In addition to having strong weapons and horses, those who want to conquer the world also need a righteous cause and a core principle.

In the Tang Dynasty world, Wang Gan alone was worth a thousand troops, and truly elite soldiers couldn't be trained overnight. Therefore, Wang Gan decided to take the first two steps.
First, we need to rely on the support of powerful figures like the Dongming Sect, the Song Clan, and the Demonic Sect.

Secondly, it is about controlling the mouthpiece and propagating righteousness.
Simply put, it means that he, the Holy Emperor, should shine with the brilliance of the sun, illuminating the world and allowing people to feel the warmth of the Holy Emperor's sun!

"I wish to ask Mr. Wang for your assistance in writing my biography!"

As soon as Wang Gan said this...
Wang Tong's expression was strange, with a hint of disdain.

"Write a biography?!"

Those who want to have their biographies written are all great figures who will be remembered in history, whether they are famous ministers, great scholars, kings, generals and ministers. Although martial arts are extraordinary in this world, the change of dynasties is still the norm. It is too far-fetched to think that you can have your biographies written based on your martial prowess.

Wang Tong remained expressionless. Perhaps this Evil Emperor had some ambition, but judging from this, he was still just a rudimentary江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) figure, relying on brute force to suppress others.

Don't you see that all the other schools of thought were denounced as heretical and forced to hide in the gutter like rats? Only Confucianism has remained the dominant force. To truly unify the world, it cannot be achieved through mere military force.

At least in this world, there is no precedent for one person defeating an entire nation. Experts at the Void Breaking level might be able to, but they usually don't last long in this realm.
Grandmaster-level experts will also restrain each other, and if the number of Grandmaster-level experts reaches a certain level, they can also threaten Grandmaster-level experts.

Therefore, the history of this world still basically follows the trajectory of dynastic changes.

"Hahaha! Sir, do you know my ambitions?!"

Wang Gan laughed heartily, stepped forward, and revealed an aura that could shock the world!
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"

"!!!"

"this?!"

Wang Tong's eyes widened instantly, his gaze almost popping out of their sockets!
How could such a powerful and inspiring sentence, so concise and encapsulating of Confucian aspirations, so majestic and awe-inspiring, have come from this guy's mouth?!

Wang Tong finally changed his expression and began to take this so-called 'Holy Emperor' seriously.
Even if this person doesn't write a biography, he can still be remembered for eternity and be remembered for generations based on just those four sentences!

"Godfather, you..."

Kou Zhong and his companion also widened their eyes. Although they were not well-read, they could still feel the powerful ambition in the sentences.

You're really something, aren't you, Godfather?!

Everyone was stunned, their shock no less than when they had just heard Shi Qingxuan's unparalleled flute music.

"As expected of my godfather!?"

"His ambition and spirit are so lofty that I can only look up to him from afar!"

Ba Feng Han's eyes immediately welled up with tears, his expression filled with utmost reverence.

Even Shi Qingxuan, who had always remained aloof from the situation, was moved, silently murmuring these four earth-shattering and awe-inspiring words.

Shi Qingxuan's bright eyes shone with a strange light. Apart from her father, this was the first time she had ever seen such a powerful and charismatic figure.

"anything else!"

Wang Gan continued to laugh loudly.

"Be the first to worry about the world's troubles and the last to enjoy its pleasures!"

Wang Tong's expression changed again.
Although this line is not quite as impressive as the four lines that just came out to be famous, it is still a famous Confucian and Taoist saying that will be remembered for thousands of years!
"Though battered and bruised a thousand times, it remains firm and strong, unmoved by winds from the east, west, south, or north!"

"If Heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; the vicissitudes of life are the true path of humanity!"

"I will wear golden armor after a hundred battles, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan!"

"We can reach for the moon in the heavens and capture turtles in the five oceans!"

Wang Gan became more and more excited as he spoke, his breath surging and his spirit overwhelming!
"Everyone has their own unique talents, even a mouse's son knows how to dig a hole!"

Wait, what was your last sentence?!

Wang Tong was initially very excited, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
These sentences are indeed passionate and profound, and can be called timeless sayings, but they don't seem to come from the same source. How could this person have forced them together?
Are you still trying to piece together a sentence?!
Wang Gan also had a good time being a plagiarist. It was good that he transmigrated early, unlike when he transmigrated into Gu Long's world, where many of the pretentious acts had already been performed by others.

"How is it, Mr. Wang!"

"How about putting these famous quotes of mine in the biography?" Wang Gan laughed heartily, pleased with himself.

Wang Tong nodded, but his tone was still somewhat hesitant.

"The Emperor's talent is truly admirable."

Wang Gan spoke directly, his tone excited.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

"It is truly an honor that you have agreed to do such a great thing for me!"

"He is simply my Zhang Liang, my Zhuge Liang, my Xiao He, my Fan Kuai, and my Han Xin!"

"???"

Wang Tong was completely overwhelmed by the flattery.
You go all out with famous quotes, and you even go all out to flatter people?!

And he hasn't even agreed yet!
Wang Gan's figure flashed, and he was already beside Wang Tong. Even Ouyang Xiyi, a veteran master, couldn't react in time.

"Sir, you have treated me so well, I am truly honored!"

Wang Gan laughed and patted Wang Tong on the shoulder.

"Today I have gained both an adopted son and a teacher; it's truly a double blessing!"

"Please enjoy your meal and drinks, everyone. Don't stand on ceremony!"

Wang Tong's eyes widened. What do you mean by being polite? This is clearly his birthday banquet, his mansion!
Just as Wang Tong was about to speak, he suddenly discovered that a strange force of true energy had sealed his mute acupoint, preventing him from making a sound.

When Wang Tong saw Wang Gan's smiling face, he felt a chill in his heart.

He knew perfectly well that he had fallen for this fellow's trick; he just wanted to shut him up and establish the proper roles of ruler and subject.

With so many heroes bearing witness, if Wang Tong were to repeat himself later, he would likely be despised by everyone.

Wang Gan smiled and raised his wine glass.
"Gentlemen, let us drink this wine together! We shall not leave until we are drunk!"

Upon witnessing Wang Gan's martial arts skills and talent, the crowd naturally dared not underestimate him in the slightest and felt great respect for him, raising their glasses in a gesture of admiration.

"You're too kind, Your Majesty!"

"Having heard the Holy Emperor's words of warning today, we should raise a great toast!"

"The Emperor's talent is unparalleled throughout the ages!"

Kou Zhong also gasped.
"If Wang Tong is the adopted father's son, then aren't we the adopted father's sons?!"

Xu Ziling glanced at Kou Zhong, then silently took half a step back.

"I told you to read more books in your spare time, because Fenghou later killed Dong Zhuo!"

Kou Zhong had a bad feeling. He looked up and saw Wang Gan's dangerous eyes. He swallowed hard.

the other side,
Fu Junyu, who came with Ba Fenghan, finally met her beloved older sister, Fu Junzhuo.

"Sister, why are you still following that evil emperor of the Central Plains?!"

When Fu Junyu saw her sister, she was both happy and puzzled.

"Let's leave while he's not paying attention to us and go find our master."

Fu Junzhuo shook her head.
"It's not that simple. You've heard about this man's ambitions and talents. If he were to truly conquer the Central Plains, I'm afraid our Goguryeo would face dire consequences."

Fu Junyu disagreed.
"Although his martial arts are high, he is no match for our master. As for gaining the world, it is uncertain. This person has a shallow foundation and calls himself a member of the Demonic Sect. He is far inferior to the various warlords."

Fu Junzhuo sighed.

"But the speed at which this man's power has expanded and the sophistication of his methods are unprecedented. Today, he has already won over the great Confucian scholar Wang Tong, and with the support of the Song clan, he probably already has the confidence to contend for the world!"

Actually, there was one more thing Fu Junzhuo didn't say: Wang Gan's martial arts skills were so high that even their master might not be a match for him.

"But fortunately, this man is fond of beautiful women, which is a minor weakness. I have to follow him... as our last resort for Goguryeo."

Fu Junyu's expression changed; she immediately understood her sister's meaning.
"Since you insist, there must be a reason, but you have to promise me one thing."

Fu Junyu's expression was firm.
"I want to be with my sister, no matter what!"

Fu Junzhuo's expression changed slightly, and she was about to refuse, but then she seemed to remember something and her expression softened.

"Never mind..."

"This person seems to have a particular interest in mothers and daughters, sisters, and the like. If you have a younger sister, you should join them."

"We are more confident now."
