Yu Dao Qiankun

Chapter 308: Governing the People according to Heaven, Holy King Shinto

The holy light is magnificent and shines all over the sky.

The sound of the rumbling Tao reverberated in the Five Elements Great Cave, and the terrifying vitality was accumulating in the periphery of the world.As the master of the cave, Kun Yu can feel the power reflected from another top-grade cave.

If you don't control it anymore, the two big caves will collide!
At this moment, a sacred and ethereal palace appeared in the sky above the Great Cave of the Five Elements.The gate of the palace opened, and the melodious heavenly sound accompanied by the sound of praise replaced the rumbling sound.At the same time, the power of Taiwei Dadongtian subdued and automatically condensed around Peng Yu.

"Holy King Palace?"

Peng Yu was taken aback for a moment, he could feel a force cast from the Hall of the Holy King, and the Confucianism he condensed was suddenly elevated to the point where he was on an equal footing with several Confucian saints.

"Holy... Holy King?"

Kun Yu has strange eyes.

After he preached, the spirit of the saint touched the hall of the Holy King in the dark.But he was promoted in a hurry, and he hadn't had time to go inside to take a look.

But... But looking at it now, why is the Confucianism and Taoism condensed by Kun Hao not clearly related to the Kunwu Clan's Saint King Hall?

Ni Shenyue murmured: "Rule the people in accordance with the heavens, the divine way of the holy king?"

Meng Pingzhang stared at Peng Yu, as if he could see a flower from him.

As a great Confucianist in the previous dynasty, he has seen many god-kings of the Kunwu clan.Understand the moisture of God King Kunwu.Among the many god kings, only the god king with the sacred heart has the right to inherit the god emperor.

Now Peng Yu has certified as a Confucian sage, motivating the Hall of the Holy King.Doesn't this mean that the Dao fruit of Confucianism combined with the royal spirit of the Kunwu clan is the exclusive holy king fruit status of the Kunwu clan.

Master Bai looked hesitant, and after thinking about it secretly, he decided to help the students.He opened his mouth and said, "His Highness the Sixth Highness seems to have borrowed the power of God King Kunwu to testify. This kind of Dao fruit is not a serious Confucian saint, so I'm afraid it's not a good practice."

Just after finishing speaking, another great scholar began to break through.

Uncle Wang was closing his eyes, feeling the radiance of the holy king permeating around Peng Yu.Faintly, he was touched, Taiwei Dadongtian projected power again.

He has followed Peng Yu for many years, although the supreme leader in Taiwei Dadongtian is King Zhao.But regarding culture and education, he took care of everything himself.

If we talk about King Zhao's achievements in "Ping Tianxia", he is naturally indispensable.

In addition, as the lecturer of the prince, he can also be said to be the teacher of the sage king.It just fits the way of "Emperor Master" inherited by Confucianism.

After comprehending the dark qi mechanism, Wang Bozheng also took the last step.

"What's wrong today? Confucian saints don't want money anymore!" Zhang Zichang and others shouted in their hearts.Within a day, this was the sixth Confucian sage.

After the bright white light, Wang Bozheng finally stepped into the fifth realm of his dreams.

But the brilliance of the holy way on his body is very weak, his realm is unstable, and he may fall at any time, so he can barely be called a "sub-sage".

Master Bai shut up.

If it is said that King Zhao's preaching is a special case, then Wang Bozheng's preaching undoubtedly shows that the road shown by King Zhao is feasible.

And in Wang Bozheng, these great Confucians saw something else.

From Dragon Power!

Helping the sage kings to achieve the Tao can make them ascend to the sky in one step!
Wang Bozheng's Confucianism and Taoism can only be ranked in the upper middle among all the great Confucians.But with the identity of the prince's lecturer, he has followed King Zhao to educate the whole world these years, completed the achievements of Confucianism in governing the country and peace of the world, and directly became a sub-sage.

If it were them, wouldn't they also have this opportunity?

This down-to-earth work is much more reliable than the pursuit of the illusory "five virtues".

Several Confucian saints stood in the middle and communicated with each other.

"Mr. Ni, what do you think?"

"Cultivate one's own moral character, understand the great way of heaven and earth. There are paths to be found through hard work and enlightenment, and the great cause of achieving peace in the world. These are the two proofs of my Confucianism."

"In addition, Confucianism is not only the fruit of sainthood, kings and emperors can all become Taoists."

After thinking about it, Ni Shenyue said again: "One discusses deeds regardless of the heart, and the other cultivates the heart but not virtue. It seems that there are conflicts, but they lead to the same goal by different routes. The two ways can go hand in hand."

In terms of merit, the path pointed out by Peng Yu is to accumulate external merit and become holy naturally.Kunyu's path is to practice inner virtue, from the inside out, feeling heaven and becoming holy.

After enlightenment, there is no difference between the two.

But behind this, it is about the secret contest between the two princes.

Of course, Peng Yu was targeting Kun Yu more.

Because——Talk about harming the country.

With the lessons from the earth, Peng Yu was naturally not willing to let Confucianism develop in that direction.

After showing his idea of ​​the holy way, Peng Yuchong pointed at Kunyu, and the Dao Sun Moon Bead fell into his hand.

"Brother Huang, since you have been promoted to Dongtian, this thing should be returned to the Heavenly Palace, and my younger brother will go back and report to Emperor Father."

After all, Peng Yu's figure flickered, and he teleported directly to Jinwu City, heading straight for the Heavenly Palace.

Ni Shenyue and others are still studying the pros and cons of the two holy ways.

Suddenly Meng Pingzhang stopped, looking at the direction Peng Yu left with a dazed expression.

"Teacher, why don't you continue..." Master Bai was startled, but also realized.

The sixth prince went back to the palace.

He took the first step to report in front of the emperor and finalized the matter of the Confucian sect.Neither of the two holy paths can be controlled by them.

Can Confucianism develop without the support of the Emperor?
Whichever one the God-Emperor considers to be orthodox is the right way.

……

The Emperor of God had been waiting for his son to come back for a business.

So when Peng Yu entered Feifeng Gate, the Emperor of God was waiting in Qianyuan Hall.

"My son kowtowed to my father and wished my father a long life."

The servants of the world came in to salute, Peng Yu held the box in both hands, and returned the Dao Sun Moon Pearl.

Putting away the orb, the Divine Emperor said indifferently: "Tell me in detail about the situation with your third brother."

Peng Yu narrated everything that happened after he entered the Five Elements Cave, and he even told a group of great Confucian scholars to ask for advice on the "Five Virtues".

"Are you looking for someone?" Kun Lie sneered, understanding his little thoughts: "Are you worried that your third brother will control the Confucian school?"

"No, my son is worried that the third brother will be held hostage by the Confucian sect and become a puppet." Peng Yu knelt in the hall, his face sinking like water, and he took out those great Confucian papers from his sleeve,
"My son listened to the words of some great Confucians, and felt that the absurdities and falsehoods they talked about were really ridiculous."

Peng Yu didn't mind applying eye drops at this time, to discredit the Confucianism he despised.By the way, put Zhang Zichang's article on the top.

Just seeing the word "loyalty" on the article, the Emperor of God was moved and immediately picked up the article to read.

After reading it, a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that your tea party is very useful."

"The five virtues are headed by loyalty, good, good."

As a god emperor, he naturally hoped that all his subordinates would be loyal.

Continuing to look down, he asked casually: "Your third brother, is he still studying benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness?"

"Yes. The third brother established the way of the five virtues, and he has already proved holy."

"Without bravery, how can we protect the country with the law of Confucianism?" Kun Lie whispered, and began to read other articles.

Confucianism is good, but don't forget that the Dakun Dynasty practiced the Heavenly Martial Way.Will the prosperity of Confucianism suppress the Temple of War God?

As a representative figure of Tianwu Shinto, God Emperor naturally has to consider the development of martial arts.

If Kunyu devoted himself to Confucianism, she would not be able to please the Emperor.

The Emperor of God reads very quickly. When he sees the five virtues of the school that he does not agree with, he discards them and continues to read the next article.

Finally, he sifts through several articles.What these articles have in common is the concept of "loyalty".

"You did a good job on this matter. Confucianism is a school outside the sky. We always have to screen out what they want to teach and what they can teach. To prevent some inappropriate things from mixing in and polluting the ears of our citizens."

On this point, Kunlie's attitude is similar to Peng Yu's.

Confucianism must be controlled by the Kunwu family.It is the gods who use the Confucianism to preach, not the Confucians stepping on the gods.

The Emperor of God continued to ask about Kun Yu's situation.

Only then did Peng Yu throw out his own and Kun Yu's two paths to the holy way.

Hearing the art of proving the Tao with five virtues, the emperor's face sank.

"According to you, as long as the great Confucianism completes the five virtues of a gentleman and sublimates his spirit to heaven and earth, can he become a saint?"

"Yes."

"Then if someone plays the piano and paints to cultivate their sentiments, can they also touch the mystery of the holy way?"

"It should be possible. Therefore, I think that such saints are all talkative. If you are expensive, you are expensive, and you should not be entrusted to state affairs."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "With the temperament of those people in Confucianism, the school must be the first and morality is the foundation. If the great Confucianists are allowed to enter the court, several parties will be formed. When they try, they will definitely favor their fellow countrymen. , disciples, and suppress other schools. Then attack each other on the moral character of the enemy party.”

The Emperor of God sneered: "They play too much with this kind of thing."

Peng Yu didn't speak.

In the history of China, there are many examples of great Confucians talking about governing the country.Therefore, Peng Yu was very vigilant about this.

In the Dakun Dynasty, although Confucianism flourished not long ago, coupled with the suppression of the emperors, it never really occupied a high position.However, many small countries in the Eight Hundred Heavens were played to death by the great Confucians.Those people taught the emperor to govern the country with benevolence, pointing fingers all day long, talking about national policies, but have no real means of governing the country.And even if the hostile parties come up with a policy that benefits the country, they will be forcibly suppressed by them.

In the end, the Confucian scholars occupying high positions in the country are all gentlemen with "high moral character themselves", but they have no experience in governing the country.

"Don't worry, I'll save it. These Confucian saints give a few false names and titles, and don't let them meddle in state affairs."

"I'm afraid that their contacts in the court will recommend them to the court and invite them to become officials in the court."

Not to mention others, just look at Ni Shenyue and Master Bai.

Ni Shenyue is good at teaching and educating people, and builds a women's school in the heavens.But when it comes to governing the country, does she have practical experience?

There is also Master Bai, who taught a Confucian saint to come out, which sounds great.But how many court affairs he has done, does he know how to govern the place and handle government affairs?

And if they enter the court as officials, they must not start from the grassroots by virtue of their status as Confucian saints.High positions are bestowed at the outset.

If they are really allowed to rule the country, can the whole world still see it?

Peng Yu expressed his worries with a worried face.Then he said: "It is precisely because I see that these saints can only talk empty words, so my son introduced the way of 'ping the world' to educate."

"But for some reason, the result of this way of enlightenment is actually very similar to the spirit of our family's holy king."

"Three thousand ways lead to the same goal. Although Confucianism is an extraterrestrial civilization, there may not be no similar ideas in this universe." The emperor did not take it seriously: "Our family's way of the sage king was born out of ancient witchcraft. In terms of origin, it is earlier than the ancient fairy way. "

Witch, educates people, is a link that connects people with heaven and earth.Wizards are in charge of education, medicine, and all aspects of the tribe.And the leader of the tribes, the "Witch King", is naturally the ancient Holy King and Holy Emperor.

"According to your great-grandfather's notes. The evolution of Confucianism in Tianwai also evolved step by step through the shamanism in their world. The inheritance of Confucianism has absorbed a lot of knowledge from the shamanism system."

"Holy kings, there are Confucianism, and there are witches."

Although Kun Lie was annoyed at his son's deceit, he forgot about the unhappiness between the two when talking about business.

Giving a seat to Peng Yu, Kunlie explained the concept of the sage king of the Kunwu family:

"You have entered the Holy King's Hall many times, you should understand the mystery of the spirit of the Holy Dao, right?"

Peng Yu nodded: "It's like the wrong movement of the four seasons, like the changing of the sun and the moon. My generation of sage kings is the time to rule the sky, attack the water and soil, and stay in the middle to protect the people."

"Yes, this is the virtue of a sage king. But a sage king must not only be virtuous, but also meritorious."

Kun Lie said seriously: "As you said, empty talk harms the country. No matter how noble a gentleman's character is, he is only a 'virtuous man', not a sage king, if he does not have the great cause of ruling the world and protecting the people."

"Whether it is the theory of the five virtues or the peace of the world, the path leads to the same goal. Since you are doing practical things, you must also learn to be a human being."

"However, your theory of 'Peace the World' is slightly better than the theory of the Five Virtues. Because before governing the country and the world, there is still a step of self-cultivation. People who can govern the world have the same character."

More importantly, the Emperor didn't say anything.

Advocated the "Ping Tianxia" mode of proof.Great Confucianists can be encouraged and guided to actively educate in the heavens, so that Great Confucianists can participate in the Tiangong government system.Cooperating with Liu Xue's theory of "loyalty and benevolence" and five virtues, it greatly consolidated the basic foundation of the Kunwu family.

"I'll discuss these matters with other people later. Emperor, besides your third brother, do you have anything else to say?"

Feeling the cold and stern gaze of the Divine Emperor, Peng Yu sighed in his heart: After all, he can't hide.

So, he slowly opened his mouth...
