"Your Majesty will let the Dao Sect and the Holy Alliance deal with it together. Even if we princes are interested, we can also take action. Anyway, the cleanup will belong to the cleaners and will eventually be used in the war." Prince Qi said.

Only then did Kong Zhang understand that Emperor Wu did not want to reap all the benefits for himself. That was not his purpose at all. His purpose was still to fight against the demon clan.

By cleaning up the small mineral veins, he can integrate and lead the scattered cultivation sects and aristocratic families, and at the same time redistribute the spiritual stone mineral veins.

Some of the best and largest mineral veins in the world are still in the hands of the Taoist sect and the royal family. It is almost impossible for those with vested interests to get them out, but open source is still possible.

In the past, one way was to make contracts with various forces and work together to open up other realms.

In addition, in terms of internal resource redistribution, we must clean up those small cultivation families that are parasitic on small mineral veins. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

If you want to continue to enjoy the benefits of the small mineral vein, you must clearly be tied to Emperor Wu's chariot, whether willingly or unwillingly.

This will inevitably shake up the general trend, and the resistance can be imagined. It is also extremely difficult to do it with the power of the royal family alone, because in some places, all forces are involved, and it is intricate and complicated.

But if Emperor Wu united with Taoism and the Holy Alliance, this matter might not be impossible. For example, the Holy Alliance would definitely be very supportive.

The original ownership of the mineral vein remains unchanged. If the Holy Alliance wants to obtain resource allocation from outside the original system, it can only seize it from these small cultivation families.

Some keen little aristocratic families may be aware of this and are willing to join Yu Hongxiu's Jurchen Fellowship.

Although it is unlikely that Taoist sects will directly take action for fellow cultivators under the current situation, at least some cultivation families or small sects that feel threatened can form connections through fellow cultivators and form alliances.

For the Dao Sect, it can cause trouble for the Holy Alliance and lead some neutral forces towards itself, so why not do it.

It can be expected that if Emperor Wu really starts to take the chaotic spirit stone veins in various places into his own hands, it will inevitably cause changes in various cultivation families and sects within the human race, and all sects must "stand in line."

And this is exactly the purpose of Emperor Wu. Without gathering and integrating the forces of the human race, how can we counterattack the demon race and completely drive them back to Beiju Luzhou.

"I will contact the Jurchen Fellowship for you." Kong Zhang said seriously, "But whether you can get them to support you depends on you."

"Thank you." Prince Qi said. Under the current situation, he had no other better choice.

Although the Dao Sect and the Holy Alliance are huge in strength, Prince Qi cannot come up with anything to tempt them. Secondly, they will not easily show an obvious trend before deciding on the throne. What’s more, with the support of one of them, it is very likely that

will be opposed by the other party.

If Emperor Wu wanted to attack the demon clan, he would have to use the power of the Taoist sect, but he had been suppressing the Taoist sect before, and it was only slightly effective. If the Taoist sect once again controlled more power during the war, Emperor Wu would have to suppress them again.

It was very difficult, so I secretly supported the evil sect to form a holy alliance.

The power that the several princes can control is even more limited. Among them, Prince Qi's foundation is not as good as that of Prince Xi and the eldest prince.

The Jurchen Fellowship is an excellent choice for him, and there may be a chance for the Taoist sect to recognize it in the future, because after all, the president of the Fellowship is the daughter of the leader of the Shushan Sect.

"I wonder what kind of reward Brother Kong needs?"

"Reward?" Kong Zhang was startled. In fact, he didn't need to do much in the whole thing. He was just a matchmaker between Prince Qi and the Jurchen Fellowship. Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't matter to him.

Any loss, if it is done, is regarded as repaying the favor of praying to the prince for supporting him in the past.

"Is it possible that Brother Kong doesn't want to pass on his own Taoism in the future?" Prince Qi asked in surprise.

Ordinary people marry and have children in order to pass on their bloodline, but if Taoists still have lingering desires, it is to pass on their own Taoism.

In a situation like Kong Zhang's, the possibility of inheriting the Shushan Taoist lineage and becoming the leader of the Shushan clan in the future is very small, almost zero. However, if one has sufficient cultivation, it is very possible to become an elder.

After becoming an elder, of course you can stay in Shushan if you want to. If you don't want to, and go out alone, you can also choose a blessed land in the cave to build a Taoist mansion.

As long as it has not separated from the main sect, the Taoist temple established can be regarded as a branch of Shushan.

For example, Ye Gu first had a rift with his family and worshiped Shushan. Later, he lost to Yu Hao in the sect leader dispute. Then he left the South China Sea alone to recruit disciples and build a palace. Later, he faced the Shushan sect, but he also refused to listen.

declare.

It's just that Ye Guren lives up to his name. After he came to Nanhai, he only indulged in cultivation and did not go to establish a Taoist palace. He only had a daughter by his side, but he was the son of two people who saved a Jurchen in Nanhai.

After that, the Jurchen passed away in the forty-ninth calamity, leaving only one woman behind, the woman who later followed Ye Gu.

This time, Ye Gu and the Ye family settled their differences, and the daughter also went home to recognize her ancestors.

Even if Ye Gu does not open a house, this daughter can inherit Ye Gu's Taoism in the future.

The extent to which cultivators care about passing on the Taoism is similar to the way ordinary people want to give birth to a son.

At this point, even if he was as discouraged as Su Xuanji, he was very happy when he learned that Kong Zhang was his disciple before he was about to be robbed.

That's why Prince Qi was surprised, "If Brother Kong wants to open a mansion and recruit disciples, I can present a small spiritual stone vein to Brother Kong in the future, together with the previous spiritual stone vein, for Brother Kong's future use."

This is not a small gesture, because if one spiritual stone vein is used sparingly, it is enough for a small sect to practice normally. Of course, if a spirit gathering pool is to be arranged like Kong Zhang did that day, a small sect will be able to practice normally.

The amount of spiritual stone veins depends on the output. Generally speaking, it will be tight and will affect the cultivation of disciples.

Kong Zhang couldn't help but be slightly tempted, although after he cultivated to the Heavenly Realm, his need for the spirit stone veins had become smaller and smaller, almost nonexistent, and he focused more on understanding the laws of space and exploring the mysteries of the infinite sky.

But if he wants to pass on the Taoism, he will need veins of spiritual stones. His disciples do not have enough resources when practicing, and they are afraid that their lifespan is approaching and they have not yet broken through.

Seeing Kong Zhang's silence, Prince Qi thought that he was a little moved, so he added: "Actually, this time my father wants to clean up the small and medium-sized spirit stone veins in the world, which is a great opportunity. I can only regret that I am not strong enough. If I intervene rashly, I will

I was afraid that I would be beaten before the meat was eaten. Brother Kong was willing to help me connect with the Jurchen Fellowship. With their support, I could try to get a share of the pie. But without the support of senior monks, I would always be a big loser.

Weakness. If Brother Kong can find some capable people and strangers to use for me, I might be able to get more benefits. By then, the reward I will give to Brother Kong will definitely be even more generous."

Prince Qi looked at Kong Zhang with hope, but what he meant by his words was that he hoped that Kong Zhang could contact some high-level monks for him, preferably monks in the heavenly realm. He was very lacking in high-end military force.

"As far as I know, the Great Emperor Brother's men seem to have gained a lot of strength. To put it bluntly, I know that the losers of Nanhai Public are willing to assist the First Emperor Brother. Their floating island has left its original place and is slowly moving towards

Coming from the offshore sea." Prince Qi sighed.

Kong Zhang was slightly startled. Speaking of Gong Loser, he couldn't help but think of the overbearing and powerful Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-proofing God's Shuttle. The power of the God's Shuttle was still fresh in his memory. The second treasure of the Secret Demon Cliff Town Sect could be said to have been destroyed by the God's Shuttle.

under.

However, what came out of Kong Zhang's mouth was still ambiguous, "Your Highness, don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely take care of it for Your Highness."

Prince Qi couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, but since Kong Zhang had reached this point, it was inconvenient for him to continue talking. He had to get the support of the Jurchen Fellowship first, otherwise he would lead an army alone without the support of the monks when he went to war with the demon clan in the future.

It would be extremely difficult to achieve great achievements.

But he didn't know what Kong Zhang's intentions were, and he even resisted the temptation to inherit the Taoism.

In fact, Kong Zhang thought about it, if he really wanted to trade with Prince Qi and get his consent, it would certainly be of great help in passing on his own tradition in the future, and he could also ask him for one more thing.

That was the career of his sister's family, Wang Qinian.

In this era, the royal family and the Taoist sect share power, and the royal family is honored, but the Taoist sect’s power and foundation are so deep that the royal family cannot abandon them. Even if the royal family deliberately launches the Holy Alliance to contain the Taoist sect, in a short period of time it still cannot

It is impossible to shake the foundation of Taoism.

And the Taoist sect cannot abandon the royal family because it can't find a better representative, otherwise the human race will fall into pieces and return to the original situation of being scattered, fighting with each other, and being taken advantage of by monsters.

Therefore, "the king and the Tao share the world."

But in daily administration, some Confucian scholars are still needed to serve.

The reason why Taoism supports the royal family and participates in governing the world is because otherwise, if it returns to the rule of the demon clan, each sect and sect will fall into a terrible dark age and be defeated one by one by the demon clan.

Second, because only in this way can we proactively obtain the right to allocate resources and firmly control part of them in our own hands.

Therefore, Taoism will also directly participate in the handling of some political affairs.

However, if the Taoist monks are sure that they are likely to break through, then there will be divisions, and not everyone is willing to waste time on secular political affairs.

At this time, Confucian scholars could still take advantage of it, so Confucianism and Taoism declined but did not become extinct.

It is just divided and differentiated, and each is used by the royal family, the Taoist sect, and other newly emerged forces to speak for them.

In this way, everyone gets what they want, and there are still some Confucian scholars who have the heart to help the world. They are willing to dedicate their efforts to go around in the court with evildoers like the Taoist sect, thinking that this can stop them from plundering the world.

There are also Confucian scholars who only seek promotion and wealth for themselves, not caring about the flood after death.

However, Confucianism and Taoism have lost most of their true meaning, and are like a plate of scattered sand. These Confucian scholars now have no ability to regain the ability of Confucius and Saints. What they practice has nothing to do with cultivation, and their longevity is of no benefit to ordinary people.

In this way, you can only rely on others, but you cannot express your true voice. At best, it is just a proxy.

Therefore, if Kong Zhang was interested, he could take the opportunity to recommend Wang Qinian and make him the spokesperson of Prince Qi's line, which would definitely help his career.

But Kong Zhang thought about it and gave up this idea.

First of all, Prince Qi's foundation is too weak. Unless he overpowers other princes in the future and becomes the first in line for the throne, he may consider it.

Secondly, Kong Zhang's biggest worry was that he himself had always been in a state of being on the edge of danger.

Even though his cultivation level has greatly increased and even Yu Hongxiu has been temporarily restrained, he still has a sense of crisis in his heart all the time.

No one knows whether there will be any big changes in the future. If one day, if his relationship with Wang Qinian's family is exposed now, it may cause harm to them in the future.

So, he always held back.
