Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

The two men suddenly realized that they had made a huge mistake.

"The Nine Cauldrons protect the world. As long as the world is not destroyed, the covenant between humans and gods still exists."

"So it was us who opened the door to the lower world of immortals?"

"So it was we who committed the crime?"

For a moment, both Zhang Fuyao and Zhao Pu lost their minds and looked pale.

People are most afraid of getting stuck in a dead end, and even human martial arts saints and land immortals are no exception.

Once your thinking goes astray, the decisions you make, no matter how reasonable or excellent they seem, are wrong.

Especially when people come to their senses from the dilemma, the regret and guilt are even more unbearable.

The strength of the Song Dynasty is actually not weak at all.

Zhao Kuangyin used his corpse to suppress the dragon vein, and he had a group of older generation generals and imperial guards buried with him. They could wake up at any time and unleash a powerful force to sweep across the troubled times.

Zhao Pu is a land immortal, comparable to immortal gods.

Zhang Fuyao, as a martial saint, can live for eight hundred years and can shatter the gate of heaven.

Li Chungang's sword and armor shocked the world, comparable to that of Lu Dongxuan in the past, and powerful enough to kill immortals and gods.

Wang Xianzhi remembered Changsheng with one glance and sat in the Tianmen in Zhenwu City.

Deng Tai'a raised his finger to knock on the gate of heaven and killed the immortal with one sword.

After that, there were Ling Donglai and Xiaoyaozi, who were both gifted with natural talents, Huang Shang, who achieved success late in life, Wei Qingqingqing, who had a thousand swords united as one, and Dugu Qiubai, who had the five paths of swordsmanship.

Each of them is a hero on earth who can be compared with the gods in heaven.

But under the command and leadership of a group of literati and scholars, what did the Song Dynasty do in the past two hundred years?

Zhao Pu hid in a secret cave, trapped in a city of sorrow.

Zhang Fuyao worked hard but went astray.

Because Li Chungang was too sharp, he was slashed by the Acacia Knife, and was imprisoned in a circle on the ground.

Deng Tai'a was restrained by Wu Su's kindness, and fought against Wang Xianzhi three times, but both were hindered.

Ling Donglai and Xiaoyaozi could not stand the spinelessness of the Song Dynasty, so one of them stayed in seclusion and the other left for another place.

Huang Shang and Wei Qingqing worked hard in the government but were unable to display their talents.

Dugu Qiubai was excluded from the Song Dynasty because of his family bloodline.

All of this, and what in return?

In return, the gods and immortals who had never dared to step out of the Heavenly Gate during the time of Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin began to press forward step by step, frequently disintegrating into the Song Dynasty and reincarnating into its souls, corroding its bones and attacking its core.

Nowadays, we have to participate in the human struggle for the dragon.

Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao, who figured everything out, looked at each other and smiled bitterly that was uglier than crying.

Two hundred years of prosperity have blinded us, and we cannot see the immortals and gods plotting rebellion beneath the prosperity.

"We are guilty!"

Chapter 260 The Situation and Hidden Dangers of the Song Dynasty

The mistake has been made, but it is not irreversible.

Be it Zhao Pu or Zhang Fuyao, neither of them is the kind of person who knows they are wrong but dares not admit their mistakes.

Who has no fault?It can be changed after passing it, and it is very good.

Even Confucius once said, "I examine myself three times a day."

After realizing their mistakes, Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao quickly and sincerely apologized to Yang Zhao with a very good attitude and put themselves in a very humble position.

The two major ceilings of Confucianism in the Song Dynasty admitted their mistakes, and Yang Zhao couldn't hold on to them.

The most important thing right now is how to make up for the mistakes we have made.

Yang Zhao was not polite and took the initiative in his own hands. After finishing the affairs in the temple, he followed Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao to the place where Zhang Fuyao lived in Shangyin Academy.

The Qingque small building is simple and quiet, and you can even hear the sound of reading aloud coming through the wind.

It has to be said that if Zhang Fuyao had not gone astray and fallen into erroneous thinking, he could almost be called a perfect person in Confucianism.

Being self-disciplined and lenient to others is a good principle for self-cultivation.

But if it is placed in the confrontation between countries and forces, it would be a bit disappointing.

There was a reason why Confucius was not welcomed by the monarchs when he traveled around the countries. Confucianism had considerable limitations in governing a country, and was especially unsuitable for human struggles in troubled times.

Although the Song Dynasty today has not yet reached the level of chaos that the rest of the world is in, it is not far off.

The policies of Yang Zhao, Zhao Shirong and others were very good, and they had enough courage to change the Song Dynasty and revitalize it. However, the forces of Western Shu, Northern Liang, Liao, Jin, Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty would not allow the Song Dynasty to return to its peak.

So there must be a great war.

To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation, so the problems of Western Shu and Northern Liang need to be solved urgently.

Chen Zhibao of Western Shu had long been included in Yang Zhao's plan. He was surrounded by Western Xia, Dali, the Northwest Frontier Army, and the Tang Clan in Shu. If they dared to make any unusual movements, they could be completely defeated in minutes.

To completely stabilize the internal situation of the Song Dynasty, the focus is still Beiliang.

Compared with Chen Zhibao of Western Shu.

Whether in terms of geographical location, economic strength, or layout planning, Beiliang Xu Xiao is more than ten times superior to Chen Zhibao.

As for dealing with Beiliang, it is simply a matter of national strength competition and military warfare.

After defeating the Liao-Jin coalition force of more than 200,000 in one wave, the Song Dynasty is now fearless.

Even though Cao Wei, Di Qing, Zong Ze and others were constrained by the court's efforts to promote the new policy, they had no problem defending the northern border.

Just wait for a while and let the new policies take root in the Song Dynasty.

In just one or two years, the Song Dynasty would be able to recover more than 80% of its peak strength.

By then, the new generation of military commander, coupled with the older generation of generals, would find it easy to wipe out domestic chaos in Beiliang, Xishu and other places. Even counterattacking foreign countries such as Liao, Jin, Mongolia and Yuan to expand territory would not be impossible.

However, before that, the six martial saints who stand on Beiliang’s side need to be dealt with first.

If the six martial saints within the country were to cause trouble, their destructive power would definitely be no less than that of an army of 600,000.

Zhang Fuyao feels remorseful and guilty, and has turned against the party, so he naturally needs to be comforted.

Just like what Zhao Pu said, it has a dog face.

After Yang Zhao sensed Zhang Fuyao's surrender, he came to Shangyin Academy and soon changed his appearance. He no longer had the cold and scolding attitude he had in the temple before.

Say what one says to another. Say what one says to another.

Bah, being open to all and respectful to the wise and humble are the basic qualities of a person in power.

In the quaint reed house, after a few cups of tea.

Yang Zhao then resumed his previous close and friendly communication with Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao, and even felt that they regretted not meeting each other earlier.

Of course, Zhao Pu can only be regarded as a bonus.

According to the covenant between humans and gods, Zhao Pu has broken through to the realm of immortals on earth. Unless the immortals and gods descend to the mortal world in large numbers, he cannot take action in the human world.

On the contrary, Zhang Fuyao, the ceiling among martial saints, is the real top-level support and the focus of Yang Zhao's efforts to win over.

Seeing Yang Zhao and Zhang Fuyao chatting happily, Zhao Pu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This little bastard, I spent three months to help you refine and tame the Yin Dragon in the secret realm.

Why didn't I see at the beginning that he was a little bastard who only cared about using people forward and not backward?

Zhao Pu gritted his teeth and complained in his heart.

After reaching a certain consensus with Zhang Fuyao, Yang Zhao quickly brought the topic back to the Prince of Beiliang's travels south.

Zhang Fuyao still felt a little guilty, and said, "If it weren't for my friend's warning, I would have died with no face."

"My friend, your guess is correct. The prince of Beiliang is the incarnation of Zhenwu. Although he has undergone reincarnation and turned into a human, his mark of immortality is still there. This time he traveled south to take advantage of the spiritual luck of the Song Dynasty to refine himself and transform his fate into that of a human dragon and python, so that he can participate in the human struggle for the dragon."

"My original plan was to abandon the fortunes of the Northern Border, Qingzhou, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Xiangfan, Jingchu and other places, and suppress them with the six of us. In this way, we can resolve the conflict between the Song Dynasty and Beiliang without shaking the foundation of the Song Dynasty, and let the Beiliang prince be independent in the north and resist the northern barbarians."

"Now that I think about it, I was a little too simplistic..."

Seeing Zhang Fuyao's face full of regret.

Yang Zhao immediately spoke up and said, "Saint, there is no need to blame yourself. We will find a way to make up for our mistakes. The Song Dynasty is now prosperous and full of vitality. As long as we don't cause chaos internally and don't give others opportunities to take advantage of us, there will be no disaster."

"As for the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liang, they are feuds of their own generations."

"Let's not talk about the grudge between Xu Xiao and the late emperor. As for the Prince of Beiliang, his biological mother, Wu Su, was injured in the Bianjing Palace, which led to the loss of her essence and her early death."

"With such a deep hatred, even if the Prince of Beiliang has the mentality of a human, there is no way to end it. There must be a battle between the two sides, and they must fight to the death."

"With the technique of finding the dragon's eyes and the divine generals suppressing it, we can put aside the worries about the fate of the North for the time being."

"Saint, what I am worried about is that regarding those people in Qingzhou, Lianghuai, Jiangnan, Xiangfan, Jingchu, etc., I am afraid that Saint may not know their true thoughts and ideas, right?"

Yang Zhao's words made Zhang Fuyao's heart tremble, and a sense of worry arose again.

If it were before, Zhang Fuyao would still be very confident.

But now, Zhang Fuyao found that he could no longer infer other people based on his past knowledge and his own attitude.

Confucius Mansion in Qingzhou, Zhu Xi in Lianghuai, Deng Tai'a in Jiangnan, Monk Longshu in Xiangfan, and Wang Chonglou in Jingchu.

These people seem to be unreliable.

Hey, I was probably really blind before.

Chapter 261 The Rotten Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism

If it is just a war, the current Song Dynasty is actually not afraid.

Because war is about money.

But the Song Dynasty had plenty of money.

There is no shortage of money, generals, commanders, or wise rulers, even though the imperial guards under the Song Dynasty have not yet truly recovered their training to their peak.

But as long as they fight a few battles, the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army will definitely be improved quickly.

With the profound foundation of the Song Dynasty, as long as we dare to fight, we can drag on and kill many forces.

On the contrary, people like Kong Pingzhong, Zhu Xi, Deng Tai'a, Nagarjuna and Wang Zhonglou are the most feared cancers within the Song Dynasty.

Kong Pingzhong and Zhu Xi, one is the descendant of Confucius and the other is a master of Neo-Confucianism.

These two men are also top-level Confucian martial saints. If they really want to cause trouble for the Song Dynasty, their words and actions can cause chaos within the Song Dynasty court.

Deng Tai'a was known as the Peach Blossom Sword God, and his fighting power was ferocious and unparalleled.

Monk Nagarjuna and Wang Zhonglou were almost the leaders of the Buddhist and Taoist factions within the Song Dynasty.

The masters of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and martial arts, the five top martial arts saints, can easily destroy the Song Dynasty.

Especially looking at the information collected by Yang Zhao.

The more Zhao Pu and Zhang Fuyao looked at it, the more their faces turned gloomier. There was a hint of wrath gathering, which even affected the celestial changes in the entire Shangyin Academy.

Dark clouds gathered and thunder roared continuously in the clouds.

Zhang Fuyao was extremely angry and felt extremely guilty. He swung his sleeves and the overwhelming righteous energy dispersed the dark clouds and thunder in the sky, creating a huge hole.

"You are not a son of man. You are really not a son of man."

"Kong Pingzhong is indeed a Confucian scum who has ruined the reputation of Confucianism."

"If Confucius knew about this son, how could he rest in peace?"

After reading the information handed over by Yang Zhao, Zhang Fuyao put his hands behind his back, muttered to himself, walked back and forth among the reeds, and the expression on his face kept changing.

Yang Zhao is the leader of the Ming Cult, and the Ming Cult's greatest power is within the territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

Just as Yang Zhao had said in the court in the past, Kong Pingzhong had already defected to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty as early as the previous year when the Liao and Jin armies marched south. He even went to the Mongol Yuan capital in person and accepted the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's amnesty and title, becoming the Yansheng Duke under the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

The disciples of Confucius were the first to surrender to the enemy when their country was still alive, and they surrendered to a foreign race.

This crime alone was enough for the imperial court to execute all nine clans of the Confucius family.
