In fact, for Xiao Jing, although the power of those cultivation sects is strong, it is nothing more than that. No matter how strong those monks are, as long as he is still on the land of Daliang, he will be suppressed by the dragon vein of Daliang. The first thing Xiao Jing did after he ascended the throne was to

Xiao Liang's dragon veins are connected to the three major dragon trunks in the world. This makes Xiao Liang's dragon veins stretch throughout the entire world.

, such a huge and long dragon vein can give the emperor of the dynasty more powerful power. In addition, Xiao Jing is the founding king who ended the troubled times and the people regard him as a saint who saves the world. Therefore, Xiao Jing possesses the power of faith and wish.

His power far exceeds that of any previous emperor who left the dynasty, almost reaching a level that has never been seen before or since.

But this is exactly what Xiao Jing is worried about. The world cannot always be peaceful and prosperous, and the country's monarchs cannot all be saints and virtuous kings. As for the officials, gentry and monks, it is naturally impossible for everyone to abide by the laws of the country.

Law, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an ant nest. No dynasty is corrupt and weak from the beginning. Social problems will only continue to accumulate and intensify. In the end, because of a certain person or

Something happened that led to the destruction of the country. The reason why Xiao Jing is so loved by the people now is entirely because the people before were so miserable. Xiao Jing just happened to be the one who rescued them.

When people escape from poverty and hunger, their expectations for life are always infinitely low. They are afraid of poverty and hunger, and they just want to live a stable life for a few days.

People are greedy, and greed is endless. When those people have enough to eat and drink, they will start to want other things, such as more money, higher status, more women, and more.

A lot of land, etc. But people are different. Some people are rich and some are poor. In the end, wealth will only be concentrated in the hands of a few people. At that time, land annexation will lead to corruption.

Corruption and the displacement of the people will only become more serious. If the people cannot survive, they will have no choice but to rebel. If the world is in chaos, the emperor will lose the support of the people. The emperor who loses the support of the people will lose his original status as emperor, and the dynasty will not be able to survive.

If it is blessed by the power of faith and wish, without the blessing of faith and wish, the dragon veins of the dynasty will also be eroded. When the dragon veins are extremely weak, the dynasty will perish.

Originally, Xiao Jing suppressed those cultivation sects just to weaken their power of faith and vow, so that they would not be able to bring trouble to the world. But now Li Congyi's advice forced him to re-examine his attitude towards the monks. In any case, these monks are

They are the people of Daliang. Suppressing them is tantamount to undercutting them.

Weakening our own strength, and some things really require the intervention of these monks, blindly suppressing them is not a long-term solution. Not only will it not make them comply, it may also be counterproductive and deepen their grudges. Thinking of this, Xiao Jing suddenly became enlightened and had no idea how to deal with cultivation.

There are countermeasures for the sect issue.

At the court meeting on the second day, Xiao Jing announced the establishment of the Department of Strangers from now on, and ordered all the heads of the cultivation sects in Daliang to send two direct disciples of the seventh realm or above, who must be candidates for the next generation of heads, to report their work in Zhongdu.

The deadline is three days, and those who exceed the deadline will be severely punished. As soon as this order came out, all the sects complained, secretly cursing the Emperor of Daliang for being shameless. Each sect leader only had a few direct disciples. Who is not the best among them? The emperor not only

To repay two at a time, and they must be above the seventh realm, this is equivalent to holding the future of the sect in the hands of the court. When the time comes to appoint the next generation of leader, it will be inappropriate for you to appoint anyone, and you will not establish the sect.

If any one of the two people goes, those two people will definitely hold a grudge in the future, but if one of the two people is established, the other will be dissatisfied. This means that no matter how you choose, at least one person will be pushed to the court.

that side of.

But even so, three days later, people from all sects still came to Zhongdu to report. According to statistics, there were 524 people in total, including 380 monks from the seventh realm and 140 from the eighth realm. There are three people in the Ninth Realm and one person in the Tenth Realm. The sects that the Seventh Realm monks come from are all new sects that have been promoted in the past thousand years. There are not many good talents in the sect. It is already a big loss to single out these two. And the sects of the one hundred and forty eighth-level monks are all wealthy families in various states and localities. Some of their ancestors even had immortals who ascended to the upper world. The sect's background is even coveted by the emperor Xiao Jing.

As for the remaining four freaks, Xiao Jing never thought that those two would actually send them. Among the four, Yan Shengyun of the ninth realm and Huangfu Yuanji of the tenth realm were both Shangyuan Immortal Lords who studied under the Yan Sheng Sect. , this Yan Sheng Sect can be traced back to the ancient times. Before the Jedi Tiantong, the Yan Sheng Sect had produced fifteen ascended true immortals, thousands of peerless mysterious immortals, and countless heavenly and earthly immortals. It is said that the Yan Sheng Sect was at its peak. At that time, even the servants who swept the floor had earthly immortal cultivation. Today's Yansheng Sect is usually very low-key, with only a few disciples walking in the mortal world. It was indeed beyond Xiao Jing's expectation that these two geniuses could be sent out this time.

In addition to these two people, the other two ninth-level monks Jiang Hao and Li Zhaoyuan also have ridiculous backgrounds. Their teacher is the master of the Tiandao Palace, Nanhua Immortal Lord. The Tiandao Mountain where the Tiandao Palace is located is known as the most beautiful place in the world. A place close to the fairy world, surrounded by spiritual energy all year round, all the monks are fascinated by it, but they hope to be lucky enough to see the true appearance of Tiandao Peak in this life. As the master of Tiandao Palace, Nanhua Immortal Lord is the best in the world, and people compare him with it. Shangyuan Immortal Lord and the one at Guantian Pavilion are both known as the Three Wonders in the World, but who is stronger and weaker cannot be known because the three have never fought against each other, which has become a great pity in the hearts of the world.

After the assembly was completed, Xiao Jing ordered the canonization of Huangfu Yuanji as the head of the Yiren Division, Yan Shengyun, Jiang Hao, and Li Zhaoyuan as deputy chiefs, and ordered the four of them to immediately lead all the personnel of the Yiren Division to the northern border to help the army.

...

The capital of the Northern Kingdom.

After the King of the North learned that Wanyan Yue was defeated, he closed the palace gate and stayed alone in the hall, not allowing anyone to enter. The officials of the North Kingdom also knelt down outside the palace symbolically and cried for a while before going home to prepare for the future. Liang Jun's arrangements after taking over the capital were gone. After all, even if the country died, it would be nothing more than a change of master for them. As long as life was better, it didn't matter who took over.

Listening to the getting quieter and quieter outside the palace, King Bei smiled bitterly, knelt on the ground and cried sadly, "I am ashamed of my ancestors! I am ashamed of the country! Thousands of years of foundation will be destroyed. It’s in the hands of the unworthy descendant Wanyan Cheng!”

Since Wan Yancheng came to the throne, he has always taken the revitalization of the Northern Kingdom as his own duty. He has repeatedly tried to drastically reform the national system, but every time he has been stopped by the remaining eight kings and the old aristocratic forces. In terms of appointing officials, he has followed the example of the Southern Kingdom in implementing the imperial examination system. Talents, but those who were selected were still those noble children. It turned out that these noble children already knew the content of the test questions before the exam, and then asked a knowledgeable person to write down the answers in advance and then brought them into the examination room to copy the answers onto the test paper. The invigilator official Knowing the identities of these people, I dare not stop them, so there is no reason why they will not pass the exam.

Moreover, as long as the officials Wan Yan Cheng accepts his fate are not from the aristocratic faction, they will be imprisoned for various inexplicable crimes within a few days. The four words "willful and powerless" explain Wan Yan Cheng's situation very well, plus the later relationship with Daliang After the failure of the battle, Wanyan Cheng lost his last power and eventually became a mascot-like existence. However, he still did not lose his ambition to revive the Northern Kingdom. Since then, he has been trying to change the country and save this direction. The lonely empire.
