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

Anyone who breaks this unspoken rule at this time will be the murderer who starts the catastrophe in the troubled times. It is not known whether others will be better off, but this murderer will definitely be killed along with his entire family, and his house and clan will be destroyed.

This is also the reason why Zheng Jibo held on to his great-uncle tightly in Rongyang City.

Yang Xuangan was a troublemaker, and the Zheng family of Rongyang, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe and others could only watch him make trouble and were unable to stop him.

And just when Yang Xuangan was causing chaos in Hebei.

In Chang'an City at this time.

Yang Zhao soon received a message from Yang Su asking for help. After establishing his government, Yang Zhao finally gathered his civil and military officials in the Wenhua Hall for the second time.

There was a major purge before the establishment of the government, and then there were the strange phenomena revealed during the sacrifice to heaven and earth.

Today in the Guanlong area, no matter it is the aristocratic families, brave generals and soldiers, or the common people and merchants, they all placed infinite hope in Yang Zhao and submitted to him completely.

For example, the Dugu clan, the Yuan clan, the Jingzhao Wei clan, the Du clan, the Gao clan, etc., also showed great enthusiasm and fully cooperated with the policies of the court under Yang Zhao.

Especially after the most powerful members of the Demon Sect surrendered.

Some news from Lupeng Palace finally got out, and all the upper class people in Guanlong area knew a series of secrets such as "fortune of the dynasty", "blessing of national fortune", and "increase in lifespan".

This secret was only circulated among high-level officials, and everyone kept it secret voluntarily.

After all, everyone wants to try out the effects of being blessed by national fortune, but at the same time they are afraid that the national fortune is not enough and that others will snatch the spot away.

Therefore, this period of time can be said to be the most prosperous time in Guanlong.

Not to mention the heads of various aristocratic families, even many playboys had to work hard and become useful to the court under the various "severe punishments" of their families.

At this time, the Guanlong area was almost everywhere with Yang Zhao's "lickers".

There is no other reason, it’s just that the blessing of national fortune is so great.

Almost all the high-ranking officials in Guanlong have understood one thing: in the future of the Sui Dynasty, wealth, land, resources, and even inheritance will no longer be the core elements that people compete for.

Only merit, official position, and even the favor of King Zhao were things that must be fought for.

In this situation.

Yang Zhao didn't even have to pay attention to state affairs. As soon as he expressed the slightest intention, countless people would rush to help him share his worries and solve them.

All these court officials and aristocratic families, who are just the talents from Guanzhong and Longnan, are more efficient than all the people in the entire Sui Dynasty combined.

Nowadays, in the Guanlong area, although every family is not well-off, it has almost reached a point where people leave their doors unlocked at night and no one picks up things on the roads.

Among the thirty-six counties in Guanlong, if a petty thief appears anywhere.

I'm afraid that many top fighters from the martial arts sects have come out to compete for the credit.

In the Wenhua Palace.

Before Yang Zhao arrived, all the officials from Guanlong had already gathered together in a lively manner.

For example, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and other young people who were once famous have now become obscurities in the court.

People like Yin Shishi, Gao Shilian, Dugu Xin, Yuan Shu, and Wei Yuanzhao, each of them was surrounded by a number of older people, all of them looked energetic and the atmosphere was very lively.

"Hey, isn't this old man Houmo Chenshan? Even you have come out of seclusion? You look much younger and in better spirits today."

"Well, it's all thanks to the great blessing of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao that I recently investigated and punished 84 of my disciples for their illegal activities. The Ministry of Personnel determined my responsibility and awarded me merits. In addition, I am over years old and have received Your Royal Highness's preferential treatment. I can get an % discount, which can be exchanged for the blessing of the ninth-grade national fortune, extending my life by years. So, I am only middle-aged now, and I can still fight for Your Royal Highness and the Great Sui Dynasty for another years!"

"Damn it, this old man is so shameless. He's already 98 years old and still trying to steal the credit from us..."

"Don't be afraid, there is an unspoken rule among the aristocratic families that after a hundred years old, one cannot get involved in worldly affairs. This old man can only be active in the court for two years at most. After that, the world will be ours."

"Yes, how old are you this year, brother?"

"Well, I'm just over eighty years old. I'm a ninth-rank rank person, which means I can live fifty years longer. I'm still very young..."

There are capable people in the world.

Especially among the aristocratic families, those who can live to a ripe old age are almost all smart people. In terms of experience, government affairs, ability, character, cunning, strategy, etc., almost everyone can show one or two unique skills.

It's just that these people were filled with strong selfish desires in the past, and they were just slacking off and not putting in any effort.

After Yang Zhao established the Yun Dynasty, the Ministry of Personnel began to promulgate the ninth-rank official position to bless the country's fortune. All these old guys jumped out of their coffins.

After these old guys are rolled up, young people really don’t have much room to maneuver.

Even geniuses like Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Jing were overwhelmed by these old men emerging in the court.

Chapter 563: The young people in the court have no chance to survive

In the Wenhua Hall, people like Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, etc., who were originally new nobles of the court, gathered together like little transparent people, and their expressions were not very good.

These days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get into the court.

The 98-year-old man clamored that he would serve His Highness for another 100 years, and even sent his own great-grandson to prison in order to become a ninth-rank official.

An eighty-year-old man, who considers himself a young man, still looks down on a ninety-eight-year-old man.

In the past, these old guys from aristocratic families who had no cultivation would die early in their respective families, enjoying their lives relying on their past merits and age, waiting for death to come suddenly one day, and then they would lie obediently in the coffin.

But now, with the country's fortunes boosted, these old men have all regained the vigor and spirit of their young and middle-aged days. Although their faces still look a little old, they are all in good spirits. Relying on their life experiences and family connections, they are extremely active in the court.

That is, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others were Yang Zhao's confidants.

Otherwise, there would be no chance for young people to survive in the imperial court.

The opportunity that originally belonged to him to realize his ambitions was completely gone. Although this was of great benefit to Yun Dynasty, Changsun Wuji and his men, whose living space had been squeezed, were still in great pain.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to live like this from now on."

"Yes, you don't know. Last time I went to His Majesty's Palace to hand in a petition, a large group of old men immediately came running over. They were either familiar with my grandfather or had a relationship with my ancestors. They ran faster than each other. I couldn't catch up with them. They were too arrogant."

"Haha, you're lucky. The day before yesterday I lost three taels of silver on Suzaku Street, and I didn't even notice it. In the evening, seventeen famous masters at least at the Grandmaster level came over to my house and gave me money, saying they were returning the lost money. The three taels of silver were broken into twenty-seven pieces."

"The power of the dynasty has been very effective, making the meritorious service of the court much more valuable. If it weren't for the need for your highness's imperial seal to mobilize the country's destiny, I'm afraid this little merit would be copied to a sky-high price."

"Well, will there be no way for us to survive in the future?"

This one sentence brought the conversation between Changsun Wuji and others to an abrupt end.

Everyone present was trapped in an unprecedented dilemma and silence. It had to be said that this was a serious problem that they urgently needed to face.

If things continue like this, Changsun Wuji and his companions will become dispensable in the court.

For a long time.

Li Jing was the first to speak: "I don't think so. From the perspective of military strategy, winning first is not winning. Only by stabilizing the camp and waiting for the opportunity can we make a concerted effort in a difficult situation..."

Du Ruhui asked abruptly: "Pharmacist, how long has it been since you last fought a war?"

Li Jing: "..."

This sentence ended the conversation, and Li Jing's face instantly became extremely ugly.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling was resourceful at this time and said, "Keming, you can't say that. I think what Senior Brother Yao said makes some sense. Now the dynasty is changing rapidly. We are His Highness's close ministers, and we are all talented. Perhaps this is a great opportunity for us to settle down."

Chang Sun Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Are you talking about the Taiyin Refining Spirit Record that His Highness sent to us a few days ago?"

Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, I have studied the technique that Your Highness has given me. It is a very upright and aboveboard technique for refining the spirit. With the change of the dynasty, I estimate that within ten years at most, the entire Great Sui Dynasty can be unified. Within twenty years, the Great Song Dynasty will also be incorporated into the Great Sui Dynasty."

"By then, with such a vast territory, hundreds of millions of people living, and an endless country, the experience, wisdom, and energy of those old men will be nothing."

Du Ruhui's eyes lit up as well, and he said, "Yes, with the expansion of territory and the renewal of resources, officials like us in the court of the Great Sui Dynasty will definitely need more spiritual cultivation, computing power, and wisdom. Your Highness has great ambitions, and the Sui Dynasty cannot always be supported by a group of mortals."

Zhang Sun Wuji also grinned and said, "So during this period of time, Your Highness deliberately let those old guys participate in the government affairs, giving them some opportunities and sweet things, so that these old guys can completely ignite the last prosperity of Guanlong. At the same time, this is also an opportunity for us to settle down and accumulate strength."

One of the things that smart people love to do most is to use their imagination.

In a short while, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were already in tears of gratitude, and their admiration for Yang Zhao reached a new level.

Only Li Jing, with a face full of pain, said: "What about me? This position of Minister of War is really despised by dogs."

Since ancient times, generals have died on the battlefield.

As a famous general in history and a top commander several times more powerful than the Ten Sages in the Temple of Martial Arts, Li Jing was appreciated and favored by Yang Zhao, and became the Minister of War of the Guanlong court in one step.

This made Li Jing extremely loyal and grateful, but it was not what Li Jing expected in his heart.

After all, Li Jing still longed for the battlefield, war, and fighting, rather than sitting in the temple, exchanging wits and competing with a group of old men all day long.

This made Li Jing feel that he had almost no place to display his talents.

Just when Li Jing was in great pain.

Zhang Sun Wuji suddenly looked at Li Jing strangely and said, "Brother Yao, you are not still at the Grandmaster level now, are you?"

Li Jing blushed and said, "Brother Wuji, you don't know that I am good at commanding operations, finding opportunities, military formations, and the confrontation between two armies. The requirements for cultivation are not high. In addition, the military secrets and military formation auras taught by His Highness are particularly mysterious, so..."

Chang Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "Brother Yao, you are confused."

Li Jing was stunned and said, "No, what do you mean, Brother Wuji? I hope you can give me some advice."

Zhang Sun Wuji sighed and said, "Brother Yao, you should know that the world of Jiuzhou is far from being as ordinary as we imagined. The water is deep enough to drown immortals and gods. When we completely break up with the Guandong family and the two armies confront each other, if the other party sends a martial saint to assassinate you, what will you do?"

"Not only the Martial Saints, there may be Martial Saints in the future, land immortals, and even when we fight with immortals in the future, do you want to command others with your great cultivation?"

"Brother Yao, among the guards around His Highness, the lowest level of the Great Sun Patrol Guards is at the Heavenly Man Realm. If such an army is handed over to you, with your level of Grandmaster cultivation, who would obey you?"

Chapter 564: Give the young people in the court a shot of chicken blood

Originally, Yang Zhao didn't want to get involved in the noise and discussions in the Wenhua Hall.

But after all, this was the first formal court meeting after he established his government. Before stepping into the Wenhua Palace, Yang Zhao still took a look at the scene in the Wenhua Palace.

Afterwards, Yang Zhao sensed the conversation between Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Jing.

After a little thought, Yang Zhao quickly took action to pull the spiritual consciousness of the four people into a palace of national destiny, which was more like a spiritual world than reality.

The sudden change made Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Jing change their expressions drastically.

But at this moment, Yang Zhao's figure quickly appeared in the hall.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Zhao!" x4

The appearance of Yang Zhao quickly calmed down the emotions of Changsun Wuji and the other three.

Then, Yang Zhao casually flicked his hand, helped the four people up, pulled them to a tea table, and looked at the four people with a gentle gaze.

These four people were all important civil and military officials selected by Yang Zhao.

Not to mention the mere Guanlong area, even after the unification of the Sui Dynasty and even the merger with the Song Dynasty in the future, these four people will surely become pillars of the imperial court as long as they are tempered a little.

At this time, we can't let the four of them go astray.

After a pause, Yang Zhao said, "Brother-in-law, Xuan Ling, Ke Ming, Pharmacist, you and I are the king and the minister in public, but in private, let's not be so formal."

"I called you four here this time because I wanted to give you some advice. I didn't expect that I just happened to hear your conversation when I was sweeping the Wenhua Palace with my spiritual senses."

"The guesses made by Xuan Ling and my brother-in-law were correct."

"You should know that the area of ​​the Yun Dynasty I established will not be limited to the Sui Dynasty. We have not yet torn our faces with Yang Guang, the Li family, the Guandong family, etc., but once it comes to the final battle, someone will be unable to bear the loneliness and destroy the so-called unspoken rules."

"By then, a full-scale war will surely break out between the cores of all parties, between all regions, in the martial arts world, and on the battlefield. Grandmasters are insignificant, and those at the heavenly realm are just pawns. Only martial saints may be able to play a role in the situation. Civil officials and military generals will all engage in a full-scale fight with the other side."

"Even in the future, our enemies may be the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, or even the gods in heaven. If your cultivation is not enough, even I cannot entrust many things to you."

After hearing Yang Zhao's words, Changsun Wuji and the other three finally felt relieved. They were filled with gratitude and immediately thanked Yang Zhao for his advice.

There is no doubt that if His Highness were not a close minister and if he did not have expectations of himself and others, how could he give special guidance?

Seeing the expressions of the four people.

Yang Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have said everything I should have said and given you all the skills and resources you should have given. If you cannot keep up with the rapid development of the court in the future, even if I am willing to promote you, I will not be able to provide you with a place to display your skills."

"So, from now on, you need to work hard to improve yourselves. We still have a long time in the future. When our luck reaches a certain level, we will have the opportunity to stay in the world forever. I hope that by then, you can still stay by my side."

"Brother-in-law, Xuan Ling, Ke Ming'er and the other three, remember to practice the Taiyin Refining Spirit Record diligently. When your primordial spirit is sufficient, combine it with what you have learned and thought. Don't you think you can compare to the various schools of thought in the pre-Qin era? The predecessors are worthy of respect, not fear. Standing still is the biggest mistake."

"As for the pharmacist, I will propose a war in the court later. Before the situation of the Sui Dynasty is broken, this war will be the best opportunity for the pharmacist to display his talents. Similarly, the military training will be most effective only on the battlefield, so you should be attentive."

After finishing speaking, Yang Zhao waved his hand and dispersed the spiritual hall.

At the same time, Yang Zhao couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart. He used these people's ideas to motivate a few others. He was really a genius at making big promises.

With this kind of motivation, there is no need to worry that the people under his command will not work hard for him like crazy.

Delicious.

Yang Zhao was in the back hall of Wenhua Palace, enjoying the service from Changsun Wugou and Yin Xiaoniang, and was not in a hurry to go to Wenhua Palace.

At this time in the Wenhua Hall, Changsun Wuji and the other three who had come out of the spiritual hall looked at each other, and then a bright light burst out in their eyes.
