Chapter 793: The sect first appeared, with different thoughts
"Sect? A newly rising force?" Emperor Ling returned to his palace and looked at the latest memorial, a little confused.
Over the past few months, he had been looking for Qin Muye's traces, and even caught the other party's traces several times. As long as he moved a little faster, he could catch the other party.
It's a pity that every pursuit and escape made the other party more and more alert, and they were able to leave before he arrived, leaving him in vain.
I originally thought of continuing the pursuit, but when I thought about the government affairs that had accumulated over the past few days, I rationally decided to come back and deal with them for the time being. It would not be too late to go after the government affairs after the government affairs were dealt with.
And as soon as he came back, he found that he didn't know when there were many new forces called sects in his Great Spirit Dynasty. These forces were not the same as ordinary forces. Instead, they were a bit like the model of aristocratic families.
However, compared to the aristocratic family, the sect's model is more aggressive.
Aristocratic families are connected together by blood and family ties as a bond of interest, so they are extremely exclusive.
On the contrary, the sect is different. They use the inheritance of master and apprentice as the link of interests. In this way, as long as someone joins the sect, they are one of them.
The power of the sect is expanding extremely fast. They continue to destroy a large number of forces and occupy various industries, because they quickly accumulate a large amount of wealth to support their disciples.
It even divided the levels of disciples, classifying many disciples from outer disciples, inner disciples, true disciples, etc.
Classes are divided by first bundling interests and then creating competition based on hierarchical benefits.
The most important thing is that the promotion channels are based on strength. As long as you are strong enough, you can not only be a disciple, but also become a powerful elder. In short, everyone has a foreseeable future, rather than just joining a noble family.
You can be a dog or you can go to the imperial court and be ranked according to seniority.
As for joining those small forces? That would be even worse. Most of them are actually forces that work together. They not only look at the eyes of the aristocratic families, but also the eyes of the court officials. No one can be offended.
The sect is different, because it is based on the inheritance of master and apprentice. In order to develop, it must protect its shortcomings. Although aristocratic families also protect their shortcomings, it also depends on their interests.
In order for the newly born sect power system to make its advantages cover up its shortcomings, it naturally has to be brought into play.
"So many things have happened in the past few months, and the officials of Great Ling didn't stop it?" Emperor Ling looked very ugly.
He saw the harm that the sect was doing to the Daling Dynasty, because it was growing stronger and competing with Daling for nutrients.
Spiritual masters who serve as officials in the Great Spirit Dynasty must abide by the rules of the officialdom. Individual spiritual masters may not be able to get ahead in their lifetime. Although his reforms are gradually eliminating these shortcomings, they cannot disappear immediately.
The aristocratic family is even worse. It excludes spiritual masters who are not of the family's bloodline, so that the individual spiritual masters are just worshippers at the highest level, commonly known as high-level thugs.
This resulted in the sect becoming completely attracted to the individual spiritual masters, and many forces even automatically dispersed themselves to join the sect, forming a brand new force system.
"Your Majesty, many officials have joined the sect, and some have even resigned and become independent leaders of the sect." The commander-in-chief of the Qingyi Guards on the side said in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Ling's face became even more ugly.
Officials are similar to fast-moving government servants, etc. This type is usually composed of individual spiritual masters, because those with backgrounds have become officials, so how can they be officials.
They had been squeezed by a higher level before, and they encountered the high-pressure policies of the Ling Emperor, which made these lower-level officials even more intolerable.
So naturally it explodes at the first moment. If there is a better place to go, why stay here and take the blame and be robbed of credit.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Tsing Yi Guards actually didn’t say anything. In addition to the officials, there are also many officials who have resigned and run away. Most of these are unofficial spiritual masters who have climbed up. Because they have no power background, they have been sitting in the cold.
If you haven't been promoted for a long time, you will be pushed away even if you have enough political achievements.
It was only after Emperor Ling killed a wave of aristocratic families that this kind of popular behavior stopped a lot, but things have already happened, and what you deserve has been suffered, without even compensation, and more serious things will follow.
Squeeze, who would be willing to stay and hang out with you.
"Is there someone behind this matter who is fueling the flames? Is it those aristocratic families?" Emperor Ling said with an ugly expression.
"This is not just an aristocratic family, there are also some officials." The commander-in-chief of the Tsing Yi Guards answered bravely.
"Part? Which part is it?" Emperor Ling was planning to make a list and liquidate it.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Tsing Yi Guards had no choice but to kill fellow Taoists rather than Ping Tao, and immediately took out the list and information that had been prepared.
Before that, he had already noticed the dangers of the sect's growth, but he suspected that there might not only be secret support from aristocratic families and officials, but also an invisible black hand who was deliberately promoting it, just like the original spirit refining method.
It spread throughout the Daling Dynasty within a few days.
Emperor Ling also saw the problems in this list and the intelligence at a glance. Can these people alone make the sect grow?
It's simply ridiculous.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Emperor Ling's tone was very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, I suspect that this matter may be related to the great demon who spread the spirit refining method." The commander-in-chief of the Qingyi Guard had no choice but to grit his teeth and throw the pot away first.
He could tell that Emperor Ling was in a very unhappy mood. If he was not satisfied with the answer, he would have to explain it here. He might as well deal with the matter in front of him first.
Emperor Ling was also moved in his heart. Not to mention, at first glance, they were very similar. The speed of expansion alone was enough to explain.
Although the spread and expansion of this sect is not as fast as the original spirit refining method, it is normal. The spirit refining method is just a secret method, but the sect is a power, which cannot be built in three or two days.
"Eradicate these sects as soon as possible. Incorporate those that can be incorporated, and dispose of those that cannot be incorporated." Emperor Ling said immediately.
Sects and spirit refining methods are different. If the spirit refining method indirectly impacts the Great Ling Dynasty, then the rise of this sect can definitely directly impact the entire Great Ling Dynasty.
If he hadn't been distracted by Qin Muye's affairs, he would have taken action immediately.
"Your Majesty, this matter may be difficult. Most of the sects are local stragglers. If they are really killed, it may cause public outrage." The commander-in-chief of the Tsing Yi Guards is not a fool, and he also recruited them.
Most of these people are dissatisfied with the way of the world, and they are willing to be brought back if you want to be brought back. Especially those officials, who themselves know what the court is like.
Therefore, there is a high probability that the only option is to kill, but if the killing continues, it will directly affect the interests of most people.
The establishment of sects has led to the formation of many new resource industries. Although they have just sprouted, they have also benefited many aristocratic families and officials.
When Emperor Ling opens his mouth, he has to offend someone. When his knife becomes blunt, he cannot throw it out to appease his anger.
Even if you use it as a knife, you still have to consider sheathing it later. A knife cannot be sharp forever.
"Killing is not just a group of people. If aristocratic families are involved, their clans will be exterminated, and if officials are involved, they will be dismissed from their posts and executed." Emperor Ling didn't care about that much.
The world belongs to him. It's just a few spirit masters who die. He dares to exterminate even the top families, not to mention these people. It would be better if more of them die. When the time comes, a new group of people will come up.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Commander-in-Chief of the Tsing Yi Guards felt bitter in his heart. What is this? From the determined tone of Emperor Ling, we could tell that he had no choice this time.
"As well as your green-clad guard, we also need to check to see if there are any evil intentions. If there are any, we will deal with them together." Emperor Ling added.
This made the Commander-in-Chief of the Tsing Yi Guards feel a chill in his heart. This meant that he was not only being used as a sword to kill, but also that he did not believe in his sword.
"I understand that when I return, I will live up to the divine grace and thoroughly investigate the Tsing Yi Guards." What else can the commander-in-chief of the Tsing Yi Guards do? He can only say this.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace.
Of course, this is just a remark. The Commander-in-Chief of the Tsing Yi Guard also has other thoughts in his mind. It’s okay not to wait in court.
If the Emperor Ling hadn't been powerful, when the other party said this, he would have wanted to resign immediately and leave, building his own sect and living freely.
It's a pity that as a close guard of the emperor, he could only die in the line of duty, but there was no such thing as resignation.
It is honorable for the Tsing Yi Guards to die in the line of duty. If they don't want to be so honorable, then someone will help them do so.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Tsing Yi Guard did not want to be disgraced just like that. There was really no way out originally, but the emergence of the sect seemed to have given him a brand new way out. He just didn't know how to go. He needed to go back and think about this matter carefully.
