Chapter 181 The Emperor Struggles with the Country
Guandao is a way of practice that is a mixture of hundreds of schools of thought. The reason why it has become so popular in this world and has almost become the mainstream is that it has the advantage of innovating the practice system.
This is a system of practice that has maximized the use of the torrent of humanity so far. If you have to make an analogy, it can be regarded as a political manifestation of the Tao of War...
Gather your troops into formation and bridge the extraordinary gap.
Gather people into a country and use the power of the country to practice.
A person can travel thousands of miles on a torrent. When the water rises, the boat becomes taller; when the water rushes, the boat becomes faster.
The relationship between official monks and national power is mutually reinforcing.
The stronger the country, the more monks it can support and the higher the level.
If the official system is not prosperous, those who practice official system and share the power of the country will in turn suck the blood of the country.
A small country can only support a few officials and gods with all the strength of the country.
When the Yong Kingdom was declining, its fortunes were almost sucked away by a real person named Han Yin.
There are so many kinds, too numerous to mention.
Official monks bear more responsibilities than sect monks, which is determined by the path of cultivation. He said: "If you receive their service, you must be useful. If you use your salary, you must accept your position. If you accept your position,
You must take responsibility!"
Therefore, those practitioners who are the major sects in the world certainly have more relative freedom.
But if you don't join the officialdom.
Is it so easy to bridge the gap between heaven and man?
Is it so easy for God to come?
How many monks spend their entire lives trapped in poverty!
The more powerful the country is, the more it can help spiritual practice.
When the official monks come to the back, they also want to gather their great power, return power to the country, get rid of the shackles of the official way, and gain their own freedom... and the sect monks can be regarded as arriving at the same destination through different paths.
Take the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo as an example. He was originally at the peak of Dongzhen cultivation.
After inheriting the position of the Prime Minister of Da Qi, sharing the power of the State of Da Qi, holding the handle of the Prime Minister, and immediately possessing the power of the Yan Dao realm!
Of course, this kind of enlightenment is not a real achievement. Once you leave your job, it will disappear immediately.
But as long as he secures this position and fulfills the corresponding responsibilities of Da Qi, his power will not disappear. How helpful is it to master the power of Yan Dao for a long time to understand Yan Dao?
During his time in power, he made some achievements and received more support from the country.
Many years later, if someone takes over the political platform and safeguards his political career, he will abdicate safely with a huge amount of financial resources. He will have the opportunity to be like Yan Ping, and his great power will be attributed to himself, and he will truly achieve the Tao of Evolution and attain the pinnacle of transcendence.
Therefore, Wu Duqiu understood very well why so many children of the uncle and marquis family were fighting for a title.
The so-called hereditary title means sharing the glory with the country!
It cannot be given unless it is a great contribution. No matter how talented you are, it cannot be achieved unless the right time, place and people come together.
Was Chu Liang, the fierce butcher of Chongxuan, a genius?
First there was Breaking Summer, and then there was Mie Yang. Is the credit enough?
His title of marquis is limited to himself and has no hereditary qualifications.
How terrifying is the national power that a hereditary noble like Bowang Hou can draw on! Who wouldn't break a dog's brain?
If there was a hereditary title in Wu Duqiu's family, he would definitely fight for it. Originally, he could only hope for the arrival of the gods, and with the help of the country's power, he could make sure that the gods would come. Originally, he could only have the possibility of the gods' arrival, and with the help of the country's power, he could have the opportunity to discover the truth...
Even if he is a genius, a hereditary marquis of a overlord country, he can save at least ten years of hard work!
You are such a peerless and charming person, who dares to say that ten years is just a snap of the fingers and can be ignored?
How long is ten years? How many things can be changed in ten years?
Externally, it is status, showing merit, and a lifetime of honor. For oneself, the path of spiritual practice is one step at a time, step by step.
Why don't you fight? Only fools don't fight!
For example, those two from Fang Shuo's family are brothers from the same mother. How long have they been fighting openly and secretly? When it comes to the future, who is willing to give in?
It's just that the dust of the Bao family over there has settled, while the Chongxuan family here is still at the end of its journey.
This time he went to the battlefield to conquer Xia. Under the operation of the Bao family, Bao Bozhao also served under Xie Huai'an. Like Xie Baoshu, he commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses from the countries in the eastern region to form his own army. Both of them were direct descendants of the Bao family.
Bao Zhongqing, however, was only in charge of an entire army... and it was clear that he would not be given any chance.
Of course, in Wu Duqiu's view at this time, the battle for the successor to the Chongxuan family was almost settled.
So when he looked at Zhong Xuansheng's performance, he should have felt some sympathy in his heart, just like he did when he faced Bao Zhongqing.
But the fat man with a smile in front of him, at a certain moment just now... actually made him feel danger?
Wu Duqiu was stunned, and Zhong Xuansheng had already turned around and strode away.
"This cousin of yours is not simple." Wu Duqiu said.
Chongxuanzun did not respond to this, and only said: "Let's go, brother Wu, please take me to find the Sandu soldiers who assigned me."
It turns out that all the soldiers here now belong to Wu Duqiu!
In other words, Zhongxuan Sheng came here specially to investigate the information and find out the loneliness!
Wu Duqiu had a strange expression: "No, you came to me to chat just to wait for him? My Mr. Zun, what's the use of your doing this? Who are you bringing with you? He wouldn't know it just by checking back.
What?"
Zhongxuan Zunyun smiled lightly: "Tease him."
…
…
"Noble sons compete for titles, courtiers compete for politics, and emperors compete for the country."
"Everything in the world has its quota. If I have more, he will have less, so we must fight for it."
“The great road is to be walked alone, so we must cut off those who travel with us.”
…
There is a large city in the southern region, where thousands of miles of dragon veins gather, and it is called "Guiyi".
It is the capital of summer.
Daxia has been a country for thousands of years and has a profound heritage. At that time, it swept across the eastern part of the Southern Territory and moved its capital here. It was named "Guiyi", which means the residence of the supreme.
Although the Eastern Expedition was defeated, the country was in danger of destruction, the king died and the country was in ruins, it still survived tenaciously.
The reigning Emperor Xia Xiang, together with all his adult children, died on the battlefield. Only a nine-year-old son was left who was raised in the palace.
The Empress Dowager of Xia was in charge of the government, and King Wu Sijiao was in charge of the army, and they joined forces to support the country. The youngest son of Emperor Xiang inherited the throne, and changed the Yuan Shenwu to show that he did not forget martial arts and remembered the eastward advance.
As for now...
It has been the thirty-second year of Shenwu.
At this moment, in the Baohua Palace where the monarchs and ministers of Daxia are discussing matters.
Today, Emperor Xia is sitting on a dragon throne, with no expression visible under his flat crown. His posture is upright, and he does not lose his grace.
Behind the dragon chair, a bead curtain hangs down. The throne of Queen Mother Xia is in between.
Everyone knows that the woman who stood at the top of the city with her phoenix crown and rosy crown was the leader of the country's political affairs. She held the power of a big country with one hand and decided the future of this country.
Danbi has three levels.
On the second level platform, there are two large chairs placed on the left and right.
They are the positions of Wu Wang Sijiao and Min Wang Yu Liyang respectively.
As the pillar of this empire, share the glory with the emperor
Of course, we must face challenges together.
Further down, there are hundreds of civil and military officials led by Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, National Advisor Xi Mengfu, and Commander Long Jiao of the Zhenguo Army.

In the age of Shenwu, Daxia used the entire country to raise two powerful armies.
These two armies are as powerful as the elite armies of the overlord countries in the world!
One is called Shenwu, and the other is called Zhenguo.
Zhenren Longjiao was the commander-in-chief of the Zhenguo Army, and Wu Wang Sijiao personally led the Shenwu Army.
During the reign of Emperor Xia Xiang, the Xia Kingdom had six powerful armies that dominated the four realms. Unfortunately, they lost the battle for supremacy, and the six powerful armies that consumed countless resources of the empire suffered all casualties.
Only the remnants of the army were gathered by Wu Wang Sijiao, and they were used as the skeleton to build an army and defend the country's borders.
After so many years of painstaking efforts, a second strong army was built, which was named after the country. After that, the surrounding areas were peaceful and the wolves around them were eliminated.
Until today.
Silence has spread in the hall for a long time.
Today's Xia State is far inferior to the past Xia State. Today's Qi State is far better than the past Qi State!
Qi State's million-strong army has been mobilized, and the cries of oath of surrender in the western suburbs of Linzi seem to be ringing outside Guiyi City. Who can be without pressure?!
Although in the past thirty-two years, the Xia Kingdom has been moving forward with the goal of restoring its former glory, and has always regarded the Qi Kingdom as its imaginary enemy, the Xia Kingdom has already imagined countless wars in their hearts, and they want to avenge their past humiliation.
Can……
But when this scene really happened, when Jing State abolished Yitian Temple, when Qi State's millions of troops came eastward... people seemed to really recall the terror of Qi State.
I recall the scene in those days when all the powerful troops were lost, the royal family of Xia Kingdom was almost exterminated, and the whole territory of Xia Kingdom was ablaze with wars. At one time, only one royal capital was left!
I remembered that not long ago, I personally delivered the envoy of Ping Ping Country, which resulted in the death of a precious divine monk in Ping Ping Country's revenge.
I think of the blood of Master Taihua, a famous formation master, left in Jianfeng Mountain forever just last year!
How can these scenes not make people's hearts melt?
"Everyone, the court has been deliberation for two days!" Xi Mengfu, the Imperial Master of Daxia, said loudly.
He is a middle-aged man who looks gentle and elegant. He wears a blue Taoist robe personally awarded by the emperor. He was the one who led the team to participate in the last Yellow River Meeting.
At this moment, his calm eyes swept over the civil and military officials in the palace: "The matter has come to this, whether it is war or peace, we'd better come up with a charter as soon as possible."
King Sijiao of Wu and King Yuliyang of Min never expressed opinions on state affairs and respected the Queen Mother of Xia's administration. If the Qi army had not vowed to attack Xia and the danger of overthrow was imminent, they would not even participate in the court meeting.
Of course, the will of the Great Xia Zi, or the Queen Mother, will not be revealed too early.
At this time, there were not many people in Baohua Palace who were qualified to talk to the Xi Meng Mansion.
Prime Minister Liu Xiyi, with white beard and hair and a serious face, walked out: "What does 'war or peace' mean? There is no such option as 'peace'!"
As soon as he came out, he went tit-for-tat with the Xi Meng Mansion, unable to hide his anger: "When the Qi army is pressing on the border, if you ask whether it is war or peace, you are seeking peace!"
Liu Xiyi was named after Xiyi.
As the saying goes, "What is not seen is called Yi, and what is not heard is called Xi." The avenue is soundless and colorless, so it is called "Xi Yi".
But he himself has a hot temper.
Pointing my nose at someone and cursing someone in the court room was no longer the only thing that happened once or twice.
Everyone in the palace has long been used to it.
But today's accusation... is indeed a bit harsh in the current environment.
In today's situation, everyone has to rush to defend themselves against such accusations.
Only Xi Mengfu frowned... but asked: "Shouldn't there be?"
The whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military!
In the Xia State, it was absolutely taboo to ask for peace from the Qi State.
When Emperor Xia Xiang died in the battle, the Xia Emperor's children were almost wiped out, and only one royal capital was left. No one in Xia State asked for peace from Qi State!
With the shame in our hearts and the hatred of our country in our hearts, we have worked hard for thirty-two years to get where we are today step by step.
Today, Xi Meng Mansion actually dared to ask this question openly
"Shouldn't there be?"
"Of course it shouldn't be!" Liu Xiyi was so angry that his face turned red, and he said angrily: "Who are you making fun of in the Meng Mansion? The first emperor died in a bloody battle, and the prince succeeded him. The prince died, and the prince succeeded him. The prince died, and the prince succeeded him!
I have thousands of soldiers in Great Xia who fought bloody battles and buried their bones in the land, so that this country can still survive! Standing in the temple built by their souls, do you have the guts to beg for peace from the Qi thieves?"
Xi Mengfu took half a step back, as if to avoid his spittle, and said calmly: "Whether it is war or peace, someone has to say it. Can the court discussion only have one voice? Everyone will come up with a result through public discussion, and I will naturally
Everyone can accept it. But before that, let’s discuss the matter. What kind of emperor did you mention? How is today the same as in the past? We were able to fight back then, but we may not be able to fight now.”
"Why can't we fight?!" Liu Xiyi said angrily: "We, the civil and military dynasties of Great Xia, have hundreds of millions of people, and we have never forgotten to advance eastward for thirty-two years!"
"Never forget to advance eastward..."
Xi Mengfu said: "In the past thirty-two years, I have never forgotten to advance eastward..."
His voice rose: "But we haven't moved east yet!"
He looked directly at Liu Xiyi and said with an extremely fierce attitude that had never been seen in so many years: "Not only did he not advance eastward, he also ordered people to break Jianfeng Mountain! Taihua's blood spattered on the spot, and Jianfeng Mountain
We have built the formation for decades and destroyed it. The door to the Northeast is wide open! We still need to deliver the envoys of Pingping with both hands! We also need to prove to ourselves that we, Daxia, have not colluded with Pingping when there is no evidence from Qi State.
Country! I dare to ask the Prime Minister, what kind of unforgettable eastward advance is this!"
People seemed to have just remembered at this moment.
When Jiang Mengxiong asked Emperor Xia about his fist, the national counselor Xi Mengfu strongly advocated a war. He advocated launching a war that would overwhelm the country at that time, and the Qi army must be pushed back. If Jiang Mengxiong could not be left behind, at least the Spring Death Army must be left behind. No matter what,
How to let the people of Qi see the will of the people of Xia.
The Pingguo incident had just happened, and when the Qi army made a sneak attack on Jianfeng Mountain, everyone in the Xia Kingdom was also very motivated, clamoring to teach the Qi thieves a lesson.
But after one true king and five true men joined forces to climb Jianfeng Mountain, everything changed...
The terrifying lineup of one true king and five real men not only failed to force Jiang Mengxiong back, but actually killed one real man on the spot.
He had no choice but to retreat from Jianfeng Mountain and mobilize the army, hoping to use the power of the army to kill Jiang Mengxiong.
Then the Spring Death Army arrived.
And then……
It is also in Baohua Palace.
The monarchs and ministers of the Xia State held discussions and thought that it was not appropriate to fight the Qi State at that time. They believed that the Xia State should continue to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and wait for the time to mature.
This time...
Just wait until Jingguo abolishes Yitian Temple, waits until the Jingmu War, waits until millions of Qi troops come eastward!
Shame? Pain? Anger?
Liu Xiyi had too much anger in her heart.
But he found that he could not refute Xi Mengfu's words.
This powerlessness caused him more pain, and in the pain there was more anger.
Finally, he rolled his sleeves angrily: "The six-toed thief has no plans!"
This statement seems to have violated some kind of taboo.
The entire Baohua Palace fell silent for a moment!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Thank you to book friend Linchuan Yanyue for becoming the leader of this book! It is the 279th alliance!
…
Explain two sentences.
1. The Sword Immortal with Five Divine Powers and the Sun, Moon and Star Sword with Three Divine Powers
The Sword Immortal does not have the active effect of unifying the wrong path.
After the Sword Immortal breaks the star wheel once, Jiang Wang takes the initiative to withdraw the sword, instead of only breaking once after being hit.
The Sun, Moon and Star Three-Wheel Cutting Illusion Sword is not the three magical powers, but the five divine powers of the Sun, Moon, Star + Cutting Illusion + Chongxuan. If you have any doubts about this, you may wish to look back at the Meeting of the Yellow River, which had a clear description at that time.
2. Why did Jiang Wang admit defeat? He dared to use his sword against the real king, so why didn’t he dare this time?
Whether his sword can kill Chongxuanzun is unknown. Chongxuanzun's sword can definitely kill him.
So he thinks he lost the battle outside. He admits it.
Don't dare?
If it's a fight for life and death, even if you Zhongxuanzun is promoted to Yan Dao today, Jiang Wang will still draw the sword. But this fight for the vanguard is just the first step in the battle for the head of the Shengzun family. Jiang Wang stepped forward to help Fat Sheng fight for power.
, he lost this battle because he lost first, not the overall situation. He did not give up and continued to help Fat Sheng fight, and Fat Sheng did not give up the family master. The battle continued.
He slashed out with a sword that he couldn't master. He was injured and missed the expedition to Xia. How could he still fight for victory?
Cut off the outer building and retreat together to get the best solution.
Kill the gods and follow them. Retreat on your own, which is a bad solution.
I don’t want to explain it, these are all in the text.
But the reader’s emotions are understandable.
It's just that I should have known I should take leave.
…
The Battle of Xia is a plot that has been foreshadowed since Qi Xia's struggle for hegemony, and I will not avoid it. But there is no precedent for the real war in the extraordinary world, so I really don't have the confidence to write it well.
