big week bad guy

Chapter 392 What is the Way of Heaven (nearly 20000 words super chapter)
I have to admit that although some love words sound a bit greasy, as long as you put your heart into it, you can still feel the warmth behind them.

Li Taiping is a very sensitive person.

She saw Zhao Xun's every word and deed before her eyes, and remembered them all in her heart.

At this moment, she could feel Zhao Xun's intentions for him, and she could feel that deep love.

This is the emotion that only true love can send out, this is the love that only true love can make people feel.

"Zhao Lang, you are so kind to me."

Li Taiping pressed his lips tightly, and said what he wanted to say most in his heart.

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Silly girl, you are my wife, if I am not good to you, who is good to me?"

Li Taiping's eyes were filled with tears.

"It would be great if so many accidents didn't happen. If Grandpa Huang didn't break with you, if father could accept you"

"Silly girl, where are there so many what-ifs in this world? I think the current state is pretty good. As long as you are there, there will be happiness. As long as you are there, I can feel happy .Happiness sometimes does not require so many additional conditions, happiness is to be with the person you love, and then live a lifetime."

All of a sudden, Zhao Xun stopped talking earthy love words, and the sweet words he spoke were no longer greasy, every word and every sentence revealed a deep love.

Li Taiping was completely conquered by Zhao Xun in an instant.

"Zhao Lang, I want to spend the rest of my life with you like this."

"Um"

Zhao Xun patted Li Taiping lightly while whispering in a fleshy voice: "Okay, okay, let's live together for the rest of our lives. Of course, if one life is not enough, we will still be together in the next life."

Li Taiping leaned gently on Zhao Xun's shoulder, feeling Zhao Xun's deep love.

I have to say that she can feel a sense of security every moment she is with Zhao Xun.

This is something he absolutely cannot feel when he is with other people.

Isn't this love?

Sometimes love really doesn't need so many things, as long as the heart is enough.

Zhao Xun returned to the bamboo forest after accompanying Li Taiping.

Seeing the third senior brother Long Qingquan playing the flute leisurely in the bamboo forest, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Oh, third senior brother, why are you so elegant today. Playing the flute in the bamboo forest is really enviable."

"Haha, little junior brother, why, have you finished marrying your wife?"

"Uh"

For a while, Zhao Xun felt a little embarrassed.

"That's right. By the way, third senior brother, why did you suddenly think of blowing the flute?"

Although there are many talents in the academy, the third senior brother is one of the best, it can be said that he is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But it's one thing to be able to, and quite another to actually perform.

The third senior brother's desire to express himself is really too strong now.Even if it is the interval between using the Corruptor to attack, he has to blow his flute to show his hard power.

Zhao Xun really admires the third senior brother.

"Blowing the flute is an act of literati to express their mood."

The third senior brother raised his neck arrogantly, like a big white goose.

Well, there's nothing wrong with saying that.

"By the way, third senior brother, I heard you said some time ago that it can help me practice concentration. Now I just have free time, so let's start."

"Haha, it's rare that you have a heart, little brother, so let's start."

Long Qingquan was in a good mood, so he never refused Zhao Xun's request.

Zhao Xun naturally had nothing to say about this.

After all, it is a very fortunate thing for him that the third senior brother can teach him everything, so what more bike do he need?

The two of them walked to a clearing among the bamboo groves, and the third senior brother put one hand behind his back, and began to talk with gusto: "Little junior brother, in fact, it is not a matter for practitioners to concentrate. What a difficult thing. Do you think, what is the core of concentration?"

"Uh, naturally, you have to concentrate on it, so as not to be affected by external objects."

"No."

Long Qingquan shook his head and said: "Little brother, you only saw the appearance, but didn't see the inner meaning."

Long Qingquan paused for a while, and then continued: "Concentration is just an appearance, how can you achieve it? The core is to stabilize the soul. Only by stabilizing the soul can you guarantee that you will not be affected by these things."

"Uh"

Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.

Guys, is this okay too?

He really didn't think that concentrating on it had something to do with stabilizing the primordial spirit.

Isn't the stability of Yuanshen involved in the sea of ​​consciousness?
This can go deep.

"Third senior brother, please tell me in detail."

"Um"

Seeing that Zhao Xun paid so much attention to these details, Long Qingquan cleared his throat and began to analyze with Zhao Xun very seriously.

"To put it bluntly, the so-called control of the sea of ​​consciousness and the control of the primordial spirit are one. Only by maintaining absolute control can we control everything stably. But if there is the slightest deviation, it may fall short. Junior brother, you How is the control over the primordial spirit?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Xun was taken aback for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "It should be barely okay."

"Then try this. I'll cut off the bamboo in front of me with my sword. You have to make a judgment immediately to see how many sections I cut off."

Good guy.

Zhao Xun exclaimed in his heart.

He never thought that the third senior brother would let him use such a simple and rude way to improve his control over the primordial spirit.

"Does this really work?"

"Little brother, you can't doubt yourself. You must know that you are a top practitioner."

"Um"

Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seems that this is indeed the truth.

The third grade can barely be said to be a top practitioner.

It is very important to maintain absolute control.

"Okay, let's try it."

Now that the third senior brother has said everything here, if Zhao Xun commits cowardice again, he will be unable to justify it anyway.

At this moment, Zhao Xun must show courage, just like when he faced the Corruptor.

The brave are fearless, and the disciples of the Academy are fearless.

In the minds of the academy disciples, only faster, taller and stronger.

Zhao Xun forced himself to concentrate his primordial spirit, and all his attention was focused not far away.

The third senior brother swung the funeral flower sword and slashed at a bamboo not far away.

At this moment, Zhao Xun saw that the movement of the third senior brother who was extremely swift seemed to be artificially slowed down.

Well, the feeling after concentrating is really different.

At this moment, Zhao Xun can clearly see many details that were not clear before.

Go slower, go slower.

Zhao Xun found that with the increase of his condensed soul, the level of detail of the scene he saw also increased, and in the end he could even clearly see the texture of the bamboo joints.

Hmm, it seems that the third senior brother really didn't lie to him.

As long as you are willing to concentrate, as long as you are willing to concentrate, you can see details that you can never see in ordinary times.

This point is really too critical.

You must know that for Zhao Xun, the biggest problem is that he cannot maintain stability from beginning to end.

The key to the inability to maintain stability is the inability to concentrate.

He can't concentrate so he will have all kinds of problems.

These questions made Zhao Xun want to cry.

Of course, now with the guidance of the third senior brother, he can quickly improve his strength through exercise.

Once the attention can be concentrated, the so-called problems we face are no longer problems, and they can naturally be solved.

"Good guy, this feeling is really strange. It's like someone is deliberately infusing me with spiritual consciousness, which can make me see many things clearly."

"Junior brother, continue to look, look carefully."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan swung his sword significantly faster this time, Zhao Xun didn't look so easily this time, and gradually began to struggle, and even couldn't see some details clearly.

But the third senior brother didn't deliberately slow down because of this.

For the third brother Long Qingquan, maintaining a certain speed and frequency, and gradually increasing the speed on this basis will help improve Zhao Xun's judgment.

Judgment must be improved only when the pressure is gradually increased.

If it has been stable at a certain stage, then the judgment will definitely stagnate.

To achieve a breakthrough, it is natural to have decisiveness.

To be promoted, there must be sacrifices.

These are all obvious reasons.

But now Zhao Xun is still in a period of adaptation.It is still unknown to what extent he can grasp it during the adaptation period.

Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the changes of emotions to prevent the influence of concentration and courage due to emotional fluctuations.

Why is it easy to reach a higher level if you say that you are a monk?
That is, they don't have much pursuit of foreign objects.

In this way, they can better focus on the practice.

This is true of Taoism and Buddhism.

What's more, eunuchs can easily improve their cultivation level.

Because they have no demand in that regard.

Since then, the excess energy can only be consumed through martial arts practice, and it is very difficult not to become a grandmaster.

As a practitioner, as a supreme and powerful practitioner, you must abandon the influence of emotions on yourself.

If this cannot be achieved, then his cultivation level will definitely be at a lower stage.

Of course, Zhao Xun hopes that he can make great progress and improve, so he naturally has to be strict with himself.

At present, the third brother Long Qingquan is also trying his best to cooperate with him in his promotion.

Zhao Xun's current level of improvement is limited, but as long as he steadily implements according to the requirements of the third brother Long Qingquan, in his opinion, it is certain to eventually improve to a certain stage and level.

You must have confidence in yourself, you are the chosen one.

Come on, boy.

Zhao Xun has never doubted his talent, after all, even the head of the mountain has said and confirmed it.

The crux of the problem now is how he can better fulfill his talent.

After all, for a young man, it's useless if he can't realize his talent well.

Zhao Xun is now in a critical period. Whether he can go further, whether he can reach an extraordinary realm, depends on his next promotion.

Zhao Xun desperately concentrated his primordial spirit, and poured awe-inspiring energy into the sea of ​​consciousness.

In this way, his third eye can more keenly capture the details not far away.

The third brother Long Qingquan's speed of swinging the sword really slowed down.

In fact, the speed of the third senior brother Long Qingquan's sword swing was not slow, but Zhao Xun's attention was concentrated, so it seemed that the third senior brother Long Qingquan swung the sword slowly.

"Okay, third senior brother will come again."

Zhao Xun knew that this was an extremely long process of advancement.

It is unrealistic to want to end all this in a short time.

The third brother Long Qingquan has also been very cooperative with Zhao Xun's promotion.

But the key still depends on Zhao Xun himself, and how strong Zhao Xun's desire to improve his cultivation level is.

If Zhao Xun is full of desire, then the improvement of the realm will be very easy.

If Zhao Xun's lack of subjective initiative is a bit big.

"Come on, work harder."

Zhao Xun kept giving himself psychological hints at this moment.Because he knows that this kind of psychological suggestion can help him go further.

After trying again and again, Zhao Xun found that it is not difficult to concentrate his attention.

But it is not easy to maintain a high level in a short period of time.

Especially to maintain the level over a long period of time.

Zhao Xun's current state can be said to have reached its peak, but this consumes a lot of physical energy.

In less than half an hour, Zhao Xun was already dripping with sweat.

Seeing this, the third senior brother Long Qingquan kept yelling at Zhao Xun: "Junior brother, work harder. This is the most critical period, we must hold on."

Zhao Xun felt that he was indeed reaching his limit.Not only in terms of physical fitness, but even in terms of spiritual consciousness, a vague feeling began to appear.

How is this going?

How did all this happen?
Zhao Xun couldn't believe what happened, but he had to keep his absolute focus.

As the third senior brother Long Qingquan said, right now he is in a crucial period of crossing the catastrophe.

If he can pass through this tribulation period, then the problem will not be too big, and even Zhao Xun will have a great breakthrough because of this.

But if he can't pass through this tribulation period, Zhao Xun will remain in this state for a long time.

The gap between periods is not insignificant.

Zhao Xun is trying to control his emotions, because he knows that every detail he does here will affect the final result he sees.

One grass and one tree, one flower and one world.

Everything is not as simple as what the eyes can see, everything has its roots.

"Come on, boy."

The constant encouragement obviously played a big role.

Zhao Xun found that he could concentrate more.

Gradually, those textures that looked a little blurry can be seen clearly.

Although it is not so clear, it is obviously much better than at the beginning.

"Well, it seems to be effective. People's potential is indeed unlimited. Whenever I feel that I am about to lose my strength, I grit my teeth and pass."

Life is like this sometimes, and those who stay focused always pay off.

Hard work is never wrong, and God will eventually reward these people.

Of course, talent is also important.

Talent determines the upper limit, and hard work determines the lower limit.

Both are indispensable.

From the current point of view, Zhao Xun's talent is quite high, so as long as he can guarantee to work hard in the future, he will definitely be able to reach a very high level.

Long Qingquan never doubted this from the beginning to the end.

He can see the shadow of himself when he was young in Zhao Xun.

Junior brother is really a person who refuses to admit defeat.This is really good.

Not admitting defeat means not accepting fate, and not admitting defeat means believing that one can go beyond the limit.

Junior brother will definitely become stronger and stronger.

The third rank is not his bottom line, neither is the second rank.

Long Qingquan believed that the junior brother would eventually reach the first-rank realm.

As for whether he can reach the realm of a super master, Long Qingquan is not sure.

But from the current point of view, there is still considerable hope.

Everything depends on the hard work of junior brother Zhao Xun.

And Long Qingquan will silently escort him from the sidelines.

"Too tired, really too tired, the whole person is going to collapse."

Zhao Xun has never felt so tired.

The whole person seemed to be completely hollowed out.

At this moment, Zhao Xun just wanted to lie down completely and do nothing!

Seeing Zhao Xun's state, the third senior brother Long Qingquan couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Little brother, you can't be so tired, right?"

"Senior Brother Third, aren't you tired? Mamma Mia. This special training plan of yours has allowed me to exercise as much as I would in a day. I have never felt so tired even when I was dancing and sweating. "

"Sweaty fuck? What is this?"

Long Qingquan was obviously able to capture the details in Zhao Xun's words, and he stopped Zhao Xun in one sentence.

"Uh"

Zhao Xun scratched his head and said: "This sweat exercise is actually a training method, and it also allows people to increase the amount of exercise. However, the training method of sweat exercise is different for practitioners. Even ordinary people, even if they have not undergone any training Ordinary people can also dance this sweaty exercise."

"Haha, I understand when you say that."

Long Qingquan slapped his head and suddenly realized.

"Isn't this the same as the square dance you mentioned earlier?"

"Uh, more or less."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that the third senior brother Long Qingquan's comprehension ability is really strong, and he has that taste.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're tired. The key is whether we can increase the intensity gradually. Third senior brother, you put up so much intensity in an hour, I can't bear it."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that if necessary, he should tell the third senior brother how he feels at the moment.

After all, training is something that varies from person to person, and it would be best if it could be customized.

Zhao Xun hopes to obtain the best training effect, but he doesn't want this training to become a kind of destruction to him.

"Haha, Junior Brother, this is what you are worried about. You should have said it earlier. I thought it would be trivial to endure such a small amount of training with your physical strength and cultivation level."

The third brother Long Qingquan spread his hands and said: "Forget it, if you think the training intensity is too high, then we will reduce the training volume a little bit. It's actually not that difficult. But there is one thing, training The amount can be reduced. But you can cook a few more tables of good dishes."

Facing the exchange terms offered by the third senior brother, Zhao Xun had no choice but to agree.

What choice did he have?
In order to make training easier, agreeing to the third brother is undoubtedly the best choice.

Besides, the arms cannot twist the thighs.

The position of the third senior brother in the academy is here.

In any case, Zhao Xun also wanted to give third senior brother some face.

If he really annoyed the third senior brother, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Besides, the request made by the third senior brother can also be said to be reasonable and not excessive at all.

Cooking is Zhao Xun's specialty.

It is nothing more than adding some strength to the previous strength, and there is nothing to say.

"Well, little brother, what are you going to do today?"

"Soup dumplings!"

Facing the question from third senior brother Long Qingquan, Zhao Xun answered without hesitation.

If the training ground in the bamboo forest is the home court of third senior brother Long Qingquan, then this room is Zhao Xun's home court.

Here Zhao Xun can be completely relaxed, completely relaxed.

It is necessary to stay relaxed and relaxed.

At this stage, if happiness is lost, then the dishes made must also be soulless.

Of course Zhao Xun hopes to be a person with a soul.

So he will do his best to make every dish he can do well.

"Soup dumpling? Do you want to eat steamed stuffed buns this time?"

Long Qingquan felt somewhat curious.

Because in his impression, junior Zhao Xun rarely takes the initiative to make steamed stuffed buns.

He thought that the younger brother didn't like to eat steamed stuffed buns!

"Yes, soup dumplings are really delicious. There are also pot stickers. I think we can make them together."

Zhao Xun started drooling for a moment.

For him, these two are indeed the best of delicacies.

It's just a little cumbersome to do.

However, with the third senior brother Long Qingquan by his side to help, Zhao Xun didn't think it was too difficult.

"Well, okay, let's start then."

"Wait a minute. Third senior brother, help me prepare these ingredients first, and then make the filling."

Be it buns or pot stickers, fillings are the key.

If the state of the fillings cannot be guaranteed, the taste will definitely be greatly reduced.

Of course, Zhao Xun hoped to be able to make a delicacy that shocked everyone and shocked everyone at once.

Soup dumplings and pot stickers must be able to surprise everyone.

So he must show the momentum he should have.

The kitchen is like a battlefield, and only true warriors dare to step into the kitchen.

When cowards enter the kitchen, they always feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable everywhere.

Zhao Xun is not the case, he thinks this is his main battlefield.

At this moment, even the third senior brother Long Qingquan, who had always been aloof, was willing to help Zhao Xun willingly. This alone was enough to show how strong Zhao Xun was.

The strong are fearless, and the strong will climb to the top.

There are already many kinds of dishes that Zhao Xun has cooked in the academy.

But he will still work hard to study new dishes.

This can ensure that the brothers and sisters, including the mentor Shanzhang, will always have a sense of freshness.

Freshness is still very important.Keeping it fresh can keep a person always motivated.

This point is the same whether it is in martial arts practice or cooking.

Soon, Zhao Xun made soup dumplings and pot stickers.

According to the old rules, the third brother Long Qingquan was the first to try the dishes.

But this time, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan hesitated.

"Should I eat the soup dumplings first, or the pot stickers first?"

Looking at the hesitation of the third senior brother, Zhao Xun felt it was funny.

Children only do multiple-choice questions, shouldn't adults ask for all of them?
"Third senior brother, you can just choose one at random and eat the first one. Anyway, you will taste the second one right after."

"Yeah, yes. How could I have forgotten."

The third senior brother Long Qingquan slapped his head fiercely, and said with a wry smile: "It's still the younger brother who sees clearly."

At this moment, Long Qingquan returned to that resolute state, he picked up the soup dumpling and was about to bite it down.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing the "rude" actions of the third brother Long Qingquan, Zhao Xun hurriedly called to stop.

"Well, what's the matter, little brother?"

"Uh"

"It's not like eating soup dumplings."

"."

"What was that like?"

"Uh, to eat soup dumplings, you have to bite a small hole on the top first, which is called consecration. After consecration, you can suck out the soup first. The soup dumpling needs to taste the delicious soup to have a soul. If not, The taste will be greatly reduced.”

"Oh I got it."

Long Qingquan suddenly realized.

"If you don't tell me, I don't know yet. Thank you, little brother."

"Haha, it's nothing to worry about."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that as a top glutton, he still needs to pay attention to the sense of ritual.

Long Qingquan tiptoedly followed Zhao Xun's instructions and began to taste the soup dumpling.

Not to mention, that look really tastes good.

"Keep it up."

"Um"

This time it became Zhao Xun teaching Long Qingquan to do things.

Long Qingquan tiptoed and walked cautiously to make Zhao Xun amused.

"Take a sip of the soup first, yes, that's what it looks like."

Zhao Xun thought that a top gourmet must not only know how to eat delicious food, but also eat elegantly and deliciously.

This is how the sense of ritual came about.

Knowing how to eat and being able to eat are completely two realms.

"Wow, it's really fresh."

Zhao Xun could feel that the state of Long Qingquan, the third senior brother, was not just pretending, he really felt delicious.It's not easy.

To know.The third senior brother is extremely picky about food.

The soup dumplings must be delicious, but it is not easy for the third brother to give such a high evaluation.

After all, the highest state of evaluating food is a fresh word.

With fresh characters, everything else will stand aside.

"This kind of taste is so special, fresh and fragrant, and fragrant and fresh. The strange taste is mixed together, which makes people feel ecstatic."

The third senior brother Long Qingquan started to eat the steamed stuffed buns after he drank the soup from the steamed buns.

This feeling is different from the feeling of sucking soup dumpling soup.

It's a, that's a satisfying feeling.

The entire mouth is covered, just right.

There is no gap left, even the gap between the teeth is filled with the bun skin and stuffing.

The feeling of bursting pulp when you bite it is really amazing.

"Wow, my junior brother's soup dumpling is really amazing forever."

Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan was moved to tears by what he ate.

Zhao Xun couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this scene.

What can he say at this moment.

But the best thing is that the third senior brother likes it.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Third senior brother, don't just eat soup dumplings, don't forget that there are also pot stickers."

There is more than one kind of food, which is sometimes a troublesome thing for Taotie.

Because I always have to think about which one to eat.

After all, there is only one mouth, and the stomach is limited.

If you want everything, you may end up with nothing.

At present, the third brother has given a very high evaluation to the soup dumpling, but the pot stickers may come from behind.

After all, pot stickers are also the leader and leader of popular delicacies.Basically, it is unlikely that a rollover will occur.

Now Zhao Xun can't wait to see what the third senior brother will say after tasting the pot stickers.

"Well, if you didn't tell me, little junior brother, I almost forgot about this pot sticker."

The third senior brother Long Qingquan slapped his head fiercely, and said with a smile: "Okay, next I will taste what makes this potsticker different."

The third senior brother, Long Qingquan, took a sip of water first, and wiped out the remaining steamed stuffed bun residue in his mouth.

Along with it, there is also the smell left by the buns.

Zhao Xun was amazed at the side.

I have to say that Long Qingquan, the third senior brother, acted very well and professionally.

Because controlling variables is a crucial factor in comparing the deliciousness of dishes.

If the variable cannot be controlled, then the evaluation made by gourmets is neither objective nor professional, and naturally cannot be used as a reference.

But now Long Qingquan has managed to control variables, so his next evaluation is quite convincing.

"Okay, third senior brother can start."

Zhao Xun was really impatient.

"Um"

Long Qingquan nodded slightly, then picked up a potsticker with his chopsticks, and slowly put it into his mouth.

The whole process is very elegant, without muddle along.

"This taste."

Long Qingquan forced himself to keep calm.

But this taste seems to be really unstoppable.

Unlike the umami taste of soup dumplings, pot stickers are a pure fragrance.

It was a scent that came from the heart.

The smell of oil spread in Long Qingquan's mouth in an instant, making people feel the delicacy.

"Hahaha, little brother, I can't tell the difference between these two delicacies. It can be said that they each have their own advantages and characteristics. If I must make an evaluation, I will It can only be said that they are peerless twins."

Peerless double pride?

The third senior brother really knows how to evaluate.

"It's really unique. Good guy, I will only release these two delicacies at the same time in the future, and the name will be called "Peerless Shuangjiao."

Zhao Xun discovered that the third brother Long Qingquan had a talent for naming food.Moreover, not only the connotation but also the appearance of his name fit well, which can be said to be quite perfect.

"Okay, okay. It's ugly, it's ugly."

Long Qingquan clasped his fists slightly, and said with a smile: "These pot stickers and soup dumpling are perfect. I think all the disciples in the academy will like it. Junior brother, we are still the same. How about they taste it?"

"Well, just listen to the third brother."

Anyway, to be idle is to be idle, and making more delicious food is just a piece of cake for Zhao Xun.

Emperor Xianlong sat cross-legged on the futon alone, entering a state of ecstasy.

In the past, he didn't like this feeling of loneliness, but in recent years, Emperor Xianlong has become more and more fond of meditation.

This will allow him to abandon all distracting thoughts and fully enter a world only for himself.

There are many emperors who wanted to be holy in history, but how many of them really did it?
This is definitely much more difficult than people imagine, so instead of this, it is better to pursue the ultimate self-improvement.

This feeling of emptiness made him feel that the sea of ​​consciousness has become wider.

Master Huiyan once said that the breadth of the sea of ​​consciousness is very important to practitioners.

The wider the sea of ​​consciousness, the more things one can see.

The wider the sea of ​​consciousness, the more things one can feel.

At the beginning, Emperor Xianlong's sea of ​​consciousness was very narrow, just like a small stream.

Later, this very narrow sea of ​​consciousness began to expand, and now Emperor Xianlong could feel that his sea of ​​consciousness was as wide as a big river.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong's ambitions were not limited to this, he hoped that the sea of ​​consciousness would be wider.

This requires continuous meditation and continuous practice.

Just when Emperor Xianlong entered the realm of ecstasy, a young eunuch's cautious report interrupted his beautiful vision.

Emperor Xianlong frowned, and opened his eyes reluctantly.

"what's up?"

"His Majesty, it is Yuan Tianshi who is asking for an audience."

"Well, call him in."

Yuan Tiangang?Emperor Xianlong was more or less surprised by this answer.

Because in Emperor Xianlong's impression, Yuan Tiangang rarely asked to see him.

It is perfectly normal for such a thing to happen to Master Huiyan, but it is a bit curious to happen to Yuan Tiangang.

At this moment, Emperor Xianlong wanted to see it very much.Why did Yuan Tiangang come here?

Emperor Xianlong got up quickly, walked to the throne and lifted the hem of his robe, returning to the state of sitting upright.

It is necessary for an emperor to maintain absolute majesty.

Because only if you maintain absolute majesty, the courtiers will be respectful when they are in front of you.

This is the truth that Emperor Xianlong summed up after being an emperor for so many years.

As an emperor, as a son of heaven, you must have the self-confidence to overwhelm the officials in order to do it for a long time.

Soon Yuan Tiangang entered the warm pavilion under the guidance of his servant.

After seeing Emperor Xianlong, Yuan Tiangang bowed slightly and saluted: "My subject, Yuan Tiangang, sees Your Majesty."

"Well, Tianshi Yuan is being polite."

Emperor Xianlong nodded slightly, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "I don't know why Yuan Tianshi came to the palace to meet His Majesty this time?"

"Report to Your Majesty, what I have done is related to the fate of the country in the next few hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

As soon as Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth, Emperor Xianlong was frightened.

If an ordinary person said this, Emperor Xianlong might not believe it.

But Yuan Tiangang's words are still quite bluffing.

Because Yuan Tiangang's identity is extremely special, he has dual identities.

One is the Great Zhou State Master, and the other is the Taoist Heavenly Master.

In other words, Yuan Tiangang is the magic stick among the magic sticks, and Emperor Xianlong couldn't believe what he said.

Sure enough, Emperor Xianlong solemnly ordered: "Everyone else get out, I will have a chat with Yuan Tianshi alone."

It is related to the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Emperor Xianlong must not pay attention to it.

These court servants withdrew with great interest.

They are desperate to hear something so important.

It is simply too painful to hear such important information and not be able to say it.

If they speak out, their lives will surely be lost.

So just don't listen to it.

The secret to keeping one's life alive in the palace is to talk less and do more, and to inquire less and make arrangements for the master.

After all, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and you never know if the partition wall will have ears.

In order to be safe, it is best to avoid all possible dangers, so don't inquire or listen.

After all the maids and eunuchs retreated, Emperor Xianlong looked at Tianshi Yuan intently, and said in a deep voice, "Tianshi Yuan can speak now."

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said: "Pindao has predicted the secret. This time it is not a secret, but God directly issued instructions."

Boom, for a moment, Emperor Xianlong felt that his brain would explode, and the whole thing would be bad.

Did God directly issue instructions?
Directly surrendered to Yuan Tiangang?

For some reason, Emperor Xianlong actually felt a bit sour.

Alas, why didn't God send His will directly when He sent it down?

He is the son of heaven with roots.

Shouldn't the Son of Heaven be the first to receive such important information?
Why did I hear a magic stick?
At this moment, Emperor Xianlong's heart was quite unbalanced.

But there is no way, that's the way it is.

So no matter how unbalanced Emperor Xianlong's heart is at this moment, he has to calmly listen to Yuan Tiangang's narration.

"What does God say?"

When he said this, Emperor Xianlong's tone obviously began to change, and he no longer had the majesty of a king.

"In the future, someone may replace Da Zhou's throne, and it will be someone with a different surname."

Yuan Tiangang said word by word.

Although he had already prepared himself psychologically, Emperor Xianlong still felt a little unacceptable when he heard this.

"Someone will replace Da Zhou's throne? Who is this person? When?"

Yuan Tiangang didn't say these information points all at once, so this made Emperor Xianlong not very satisfied.

You must know that these are the points that he is very concerned about. What has been said and what has not been said are two concepts.

Yuan Tiangang, an old master, really knows how to relax.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he meant to take advantage of Emperor Xianlong.

Of course, it is impossible for Emperor Xianlong to let him make decisions.

Now he must ask clearly and clearly.

As long as he asks clearly the cause and effect of the matter, the ins and outs, he is not afraid that there will be accidents.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The poor Taoist only knows that this person's surname is Zhao, and it's only possible."

"Surname Zhao?"

Zhao Xun?

When Emperor Xianlong heard this, his instinctive reaction was Zhao Xun.

Because in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Zhao family in Yongzhou was the most prosperous among Zhao families, that is, the family of Zhao Xun's father Cheng Guogong Zhao Yuan.

But now that Cheng Guogong has been removed from the title by Emperor Xianlong, Zhao Yuan and his descendants are theoretically no different from ordinary people.In this case, is it possible that the Zhao family may seek to seize the Li family?

Why?
Just rely on Zhao Xun?

Emperor Xianlong felt very unconvinced, and then confirmed: "Did the Celestial Master really see clearly, did he really hear clearly? Could it be fake?"

For Emperor Xianlong, it was his responsibility to ensure the prosperity of the country and the stability of the country.

Even if he pursues the improvement of his personal cultivation realm, he must ensure that the country will not be compromised in his hands.

The two are actually not contradictory. After one point is realized, the other point is also very likely to be realized.

Now it is obvious that the issue of national fortune is a point that Emperor Xianlong needs to pay more attention to.

If he cannot ensure the prosperity of the country, it is very likely that he will face a very embarrassing result next, which is the change of dynasty.

No dynasty can rule forever.

Emperor Xianlong knew this very well.

This has basically been the case throughout the dynasties.

To ensure the prosperity of the country, the premise is to have a ruling foundation in an absolute sense.

In this regard, Da Zhou has done a very good job.

The ruling foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the gentry rather than the so-called nobles.

So even if some nobles started to rebel, it would be difficult to get enough support.

Scholars are the easiest group to win over. As long as you reward them with a little favor, they will come to you and wag their tails without hesitation.

For a long time, Emperor Xianlong also followed the ancestral precepts to do so.

He knows very well that even if he offends anyone, he can't offend Ji Gentleman.

Scholars are the ruling foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

student.
Suddenly, Emperor Xianlong thought of a terrible idea.

If scholars are the basis of the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, isn’t it precisely the scholars who can shake their rule?
If all the scholars choose to support the new monarch, wouldn't it mean that the Great Zhou Dynasty and the royal family would be abandoned by them?

When thinking of this, Emperor Xianlong felt a burst of fear.

"No no no, it's impossible."

Emperor Xianlong felt his scalp tingling for a while.

If all of this is true, then the pressure on the entire Great Zhou court is indeed too great.

As the helm of the Great Zhou Empire, he is indeed under great pressure at the moment.

In addition to believing in the current imperial court, who else might scholars believe in?
Emperor Xianlong asked this question in his heart, and soon he got the answer.

The answer is the academy.

The academy has always had a pivotal position and importance.

There is no doubt about that.

Obviously, the existence of academies determines to a considerable extent that scholars have two ways out.

One of them is naturally to do things for the court and for Emperor Xianlong.

The existence of imperial examinations is the foundation for this road to be unimpeded.

Scholars have to go through layers of selection and screening from the moment they decide to take this path.

From local level examinations to national level examinations.

Every exam detail matters.

Because only by completing the exams at each level and standing out from the crowd, can they make it to the final step - the palace exam.

After the palace examination, these scholars obtained the qualifications to enter the court as officials.

Although generally speaking they can't achieve too high an official position at the beginning, as long as they can bear it and endure it, generally speaking, there is no problem in being an official of the fourth or fifth rank in a lifetime.

If you want to climb up again, if you want to climb to a high position above the third rank, it depends on luck or family background.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty is deliberately reducing the influence of the family, it has to be said that the family has not completely dissipated so far.

Emperor Xianlong knew that there were several powerful families in Yongzhou.

The power of these aristocratic families could even influence the government for a time.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong severely suppressed these families after he ascended the throne.

After being suppressed, the aristocratic family became a lot more honest, and they dared not do many things anymore, and began to become honest and stable.

Of course, Emperor Xianlong knew that all of this was just an appearance, and it was only temporary.

As long as these aristocratic families are given a chance, they may still make a comeback, and they may still revive.

Therefore, Emperor Xianlong has never dared to give them this opportunity.

Emperor Xianlong has been strictly controlling the family's resources.

In order to prevent the occurrence of aristocratic interference in politics.

It is helpful for the court to let more children from poor families come to power.

Because children from poor families don't have so many backgrounds, and don't have so many intertwined relationships, they are easier to control.

Compared with the huge backing of the aristocratic family, the only backing of the poor family is the imperial court.

They are nothing after leaving the court, and they are nothing after taking off their official robes.

So now, more than [-]% to [-]% of the officials in the entire imperial court are from poor families.

Emperor Xianlong strictly controlled the proportion of poor officials in the court.

Only by ensuring the absolute number of children from poor families can we guarantee the right to speak of the court and the authority of the emperor.

As he said before, children from poor families are a pack of dogs.As long as you throw a few bones to them, they will scramble for food and wag their tails at you excitedly.

But the children of the family are different.The children of the aristocratic family are well-informed, and the bells and lanterns are ringing all day long.

It can be said that the family is a miniature version of the royal family.

Many things enjoyed by the royal family can also be enjoyed by the family, nothing more than a different name.

So in their bones, they actually have disdain for the royal family and the imperial court.

This is why Emperor Xianlong was unwilling to use the children of the aristocratic family.

Everyone wants to be praised, and Emperor Xianlong is no exception.

Emperor Xianlong had always fancied that he would be able to leave his name in the history after hundreds of years and become the so-called emperor through the ages.

Of course it was not easy, but Emperor Xianlong felt that it was not impossible.

Because for Emperor Xianlong, as long as he can achieve any one of Wenzhiwugong, he is eligible to be compared with those Mingjun and Shengjun in history.

As long as he dares to compare, it is possible to compare them.

Of course, everything depends on the attitude of the historian and how the historian writes.

Historians have different attitudes, and the traces left by Emperor Xianlong in Qing history will naturally be different.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, Emperor Xianlong is still in pretty good condition.

Those disobedient historians would be replaced by Emperor Xianlong for various reasons every once in a while.

Most of the historians who can stay are obedient.

Emperor Xianlong was well aware of the importance of maintaining this.

Because only some obedient historians are left behind, they will follow the wishes of the court and Emperor Xianlong to do things.

If this is not possible, the result can be described as confusing.

Of course, even if the historians all acted according to the will of Emperor Xianlong, or even exaggeratedly boasted about Emperor Xianlong's achievements, if Emperor Xianlong himself had no achievements worthy of his hand, it would still be difficult to become the so-called emperor through the ages of.

That's why Emperor Xianlong thought about expanding to the Western Regions, about suppressing the rebellion in Jiannan Road, and about eradicating the scourge of the East Sea Monster Beast Kingdom.

These results are not bad so far, but if you look closely, you will find that these major events are inseparable from one person's name, and that is Zhao Xun.

Some may not be directly related to Zhao Xun, but at least indirectly.

What scares Emperor Xianlong even more is that Zhao Xun has another identity, that is, he is an academy disciple.

That's right, Zhao Xun is not only a disciple of the academy, but also a disciple of the academy.

Although there are only two words missing, the meaning is actually very different.

Haoran Academy was built in Zhongnan Mountain, and its disciples are divided into two types: inner disciples and outer disciples.

Among them, there are 72 disciples in the house and 3000 disciples in the house.

It can be seen only in terms of quantity.

When the head of the mountain selects disciples, he will put the disciples with mediocre aptitudes into the outer disciples, and put those with extraordinary talents and superior strengths into the inner disciples.

There are only 72 inner disciples over the years.

It is said that Zhao Xun was the last inner disciple recruited by the head of the mountain, the so-called closed disciple.

What kind of traits does Zhao Xun have that can make the dignified mountain chief look at him differently?

Emperor Xianlong really didn't know and didn't know.

In a daze, Emperor Xianlong hated Zhao Xun very much.

In the past, he only thought that Zhao Xun was a man without a father, but now it seems that he is not only a man without a father, but may even threaten the rule of the Zhou royal family.

If it replaces it and establishes a new dynasty, it will inevitably retaliate fiercely against the clan of the previous dynasty, right?
After all, the rift between him and Emperor Xianlong was not insignificant.

Zhao Xun's anger and anger were written on his face.

But if Shan Zhang hadn't made a move, Emperor Xianlong should have killed him directly.

What a pity, what a pity.

There is no chance now, Zhao Xun is hiding in Zhongnan Mountain all day now, even if Emperor Xianlong sends the most powerful masters to join forces, it is very difficult to have a chance to kill Zhao Xun directly.

What are the prerequisites for Zhao Xun to become a leader?
One thing that Emperor Xianlong could think of was that he had to gain the support of scholars all over the world.

Of course, it's not the children of some so-called aristocratic families, but the humble ones.

If poor scholars can choose to support Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun is still capable of overthrowing the rule of the Great Zhou royal family.

After all, in addition to the road of official academic examinations, there is another way for scholars, that is, to study in academies through private schools.

This academy may not be the Haoran Academy in Zhongnan Mountain, it can be various academies.

In the eyes of Emperor Xianlong, Haoran Academy was indeed a cancer. His existence made the people all over the world follow suit and began to build academies all over the country.

In the beginning, these academies were not recognized by the Great Zhou court.The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty only recognized the official school of the court, that is, the Taixue Guozijian, and the local state schools and county schools.These are a system, and they are also inherited in one continuous line, and they are all for the great Zhou court to continuously transport so-called talents.

But the academy is not.

Most of those who go to the academy to study have their own ideas.

They may choose to take the imperial examination to become an official after they finish their studies in the academy, or they may give up this idea and become a scholar like a wandering cloud and a wild crane from then on.

Don't be afraid of people being rich, but be afraid of people being educated.

A group of these educated scholars traveled around the world, and sometimes gathered together to discuss some academic issues, which is really maddening.

Emperor Xianlong knew this very well, so he implemented the guide system in the world.

On the contrary, those who leave their place of origin to travel elsewhere must hold a guide.

If a person without a guide fails to provide effective supporting evidence when interrogated by the government, it is very likely that he will be thrown directly into the prison.

This is also to deter those scholars who do whatever they want.

Scholars have all kinds of ideas, and they will think wildly.

It would be fine if they were thinking wildly themselves, but they would drive other people to think wildly together.

This is really killing me.

What knowledge do those common people have?

Even if they were really dissatisfied with the court in their hearts, at most they would mutter a few words behind their backs and scold them a few words.

But if he was teased by those bad-hearted scholars, the situation would probably be different.

These scholars will describe the disadvantages of the court as much as possible, and even deliberately magnify these shortcomings.

Originally, the imperial court might not be as bad as they described, but after being embellished by them, it became shameless.

Even Emperor Xianlong could imagine the ugly faces of these scholars.

Therefore, he strictly prohibited and severely cracked down on such scholars wandering in the rivers and lakes.

But as the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below.

Although Emperor Xianlong was very firm about this, sometimes he still couldn't ensure that things would develop exactly as he expected.

Because scholars can take advantage of some famous local families and serve as their followers.

In this way, the so-called risk can be solved.

Of course, such a danger is not small, that is, it is possible that this famous family will suddenly fall from power due to an accident.

In this way, these scholars have to start their wandering days again, they must find a suitable backer, and they must find a place to stay.

After all, they have no other skills, nothing more than studying for a few years.

The first thing you do when you open your eyes is eat.If there is no support, they will have problems eating.

Therefore, for these scholars, the best choice is to keep changing the aristocratic families and then invest in their sects.

For them, these aristocratic families are some free long-term meal tickets.

With these noble families around, they won't go hungry.

Emperor Xianlong often thought that scholars are really a bunch of hateful guys.

It's okay when I use it, but they will still mess with you every now and then.

If it can't be used by me, the so-called impact it will bring is really too great.

Scholars scattered among the rivers and lakes will make the whole rivers and lakes and even the whole world feel the collision of so-called sparks of civilization, but it will also open up the wisdom of the people.

This was exactly what Emperor Xianlong feared the most.

Because once the wisdom of the people is opened, it means that the ignorant rule of the court will be difficult to continue.

The policy of ignoring the people is a policy that Dazhou has always pursued.

As long as the common people are not very smart, there will be no major problems.

But once the wisdom of the people is opened, and the common people understand it like a scholar, the pressure on the court will suddenly rise in an instant.

The academy is the culprit.

Emperor Xianlong once gave birth to prohibiting the establishment of private academies to curb the spread of this culture.But the idea was eventually dismissed.

Because the cost of doing so is too high, it is likely to inspire many contradictions.

Even as emperors, there are still many things in this world that they cannot do as they please.

We need to weigh, we need to think, we need to think a lot.

The decision made after a series of compromises is likely to be very different from the result they wanted at the beginning.

But this is also something that can't be done.

Emperor Xianlong was already trying his best to do his best, but even so he still had to face the miserable results.

From the current point of view, academies are indeed a big threat affecting scholars all over the world.

Since ancient times, public schools and private schools have been in opposition, and they are also two ways to win scholars.

Many of those who can't afford to go to official schools will want to go to private schools to try their luck.

If you are lucky, it is not impossible to have the opportunity to become a great Confucian.

In the past, although the contradiction between government schools and private schools existed, it was not too big.

But now it seems that the contradiction between the official school and the private school has affected or even threatened the rule of the Great Zhou royal family.

This made Emperor Xianlong feel panicked.

In many cases, it is very difficult to maintain the calmness of the decision.

Especially when one's own interests are seriously threatened by others.

At this moment, Emperor Xianlong was more like an old man walking alone.

No one can help him, he has to rely on himself, he has to stand up.

Because it is not only him and his children who are pressing on him, but also the entire Li clan.

"Scholars will support Haoran Academy and the head of the mountain. But will they betray the court in order to support the head of the mountain?"

Emperor Xianlong was quite unconfident when he asked this question, but he still wanted to hear Yuan Tiangang's opinion.

After all, as the number one magic stick in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang's views represented God's will to some extent.

Although Emperor Xianlong was very reluctant to admit it, this was precisely the truth.

"Your Majesty, I feel that perhaps scholars will betray the imperial court for the academy."

bang.

When Emperor Xianlong heard this, he only felt that his head would explode, and his whole body would be in a bad mood.

What, scholars will betray the court for the sake of the head of the mountain?

So what are they plotting?

Emperor Xianlong felt a little incomprehensible for a while.

It would be fine if they betrayed the imperial court for the sake of the academy in order to support the head of the mountain.But it is obvious that the head of the mountain has no interest in being an emperor.

So they did this to support Zhao Xun's superiority?
Just to support a disciple of the head of the mountain to take the position?
This is too bullshit.

The more I think about Emperor Xianlong, the more ridiculous I feel, but from Yuan Tiangang's point of view, it seems that this is the case.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the head of the mountain did nothing wrong.Everything should be done in accordance with the general trend of the day.

But Emperor Xianlong would definitely not be content with this.

Da Zhou has ruled the country for hundreds of years.Emperor Xianlong had long been accustomed to the way the Great Zhou ruled the world.

If all this was changed rashly at this time, Emperor Xianlong would not be able to accept it anyway.

Especially a brat, especially a guy like Zhao Xun.

"Yuan Tianshi thinks there is a way to stop it?"

"of course."

What Yuan Tiangang had been waiting for was actually these words from Emperor Xianlong.

If he had no other way, he wouldn't have entered the palace.

In order to reflect his importance, Yuan Tiangang did not say this method at the beginning, but waited for Emperor Xianlong to ask.

No, Emperor Xianlong himself couldn't wait any longer.

"Tianshi Yuan, please tell me."

Emperor Xianlong forced himself to calm down at this moment.

From the current point of view, his emotional control is pretty good, Yuan Tiangang also knows that the degree of control is very important, he can't be too strong, he must leave enough face for Emperor Xianlong.Otherwise, with Emperor Xianlong's insolent personality, it is very likely that the situation will develop to a point where it is completely out of control.

"Your Majesty, the academy is more like a symbol to scholars in the world."

As soon as Yuan Tiangang opened his mouth, Emperor Xianlong's appetite was whetted, making him think it was worth listening to.

"Why do scholars all over the world admire the Academy so fanatically, wishing to become an outside disciple of the Academy? It is because of Shanzhang's personal charm. No matter how His Majesty looks at it, this country has not had such an outstanding scholar like Shanzhang for a long time. The head of the mountain is simply born out of nowhere, and he doesn't seem like a person from this world."

Although Yuan Tiangang knew that his words would cause Emperor Xianlong's extreme discomfort, he still wanted to say them.

Because these are the things he thinks, that's what he thinks is truth.

Shan Chang's personal charm is indeed great, so great that everyone has to admit it.

At present, it seems that Emperor Xianlong is unwilling to admit this.

But whether Emperor Xianlong admits it or not doesn't actually affect the result.

Either the Corruptor, or the High Priest of the Demon Sect.

Although these powerful enemies are afraid of the academy, they still have to admit the absolute strength of the head of the mountain.

So no matter how upset Emperor Xianlong was, he had to admit it with his nose squeezed.

The head of the academy is a supreme existence, as long as there is the head of the academy, then many things will not be a problem.

Therefore, scholars are more likely to worship the head of the mountain like worshiping Buddha.

"In some places on Jiangnan Road, the poor Taoist knows that someone is building a shrine to the mountain."

"what!"

Emperor Xianlong felt a little unbelievable when he heard this.

Lisheng Temple?For the head of the mountain?
Why?
The head of the mountain actually enjoys such an important position in the minds of scholars?
Emperor Xianlong was about to go crazy.

Thinking that he is the supreme emperor in the world, he has not been able to enjoy the treatment of being erected in a shrine.The head of the mountain is just a mere scholar, how can he enjoy such respect and courtesy?

The more Emperor Xianlong thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was going crazy.

It's not fair, it's really not fair.

Emperor Xianlong couldn't wait to show his muscles and fists, so that he could tell scholars all over the world not to fight against the imperial court.

All those scholars who dare to confront the imperial court will face the sanction of the imperial court.

If there is no Shan Chang, he can indeed implement such a high-pressure policy.

But now it obviously doesn't work.

Now the huge pressure represented by the forces represented by the head of the mountain can make the entire court fearful, and can make the entire royal family feel panic.

At least Emperor Xianlong really felt the panic.

Everything is the way it is for a reason.

It's just that Emperor Xianlong didn't think of it at first.

But if you think about it carefully, the hooks in it foretell this.

Emperor Xianlong was about to be in a state of madness.

He desperately hopes that Yuan Tiangang can provide him with a solution.

"What is the solution?"

"Your Majesty, when you encounter a flood, you need to divert it instead of blocking it."

Yuan Tiangang only threw out a word, and Emperor Xianlong immediately understood what he meant.

"Tianshi Yuan means that I should cooperate with the Academy?"

"Your Majesty may not necessarily cooperate with the academy, but at least you cannot maintain a hostile state with the academy. At least you must support the existence of the academy."

Yuan Tiangang knew that it would be extremely difficult for Emperor Xianlong to accept the academy completely at this time.

But at this moment Emperor Xianlong still needs to be able to support himself.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it again."

At this moment, Emperor Xianlong felt upset.

Yes, for him to be able to accept the academy means that he must recognize the status of the head of the mountain to the greatest extent. He still remembers the kneeling revenge, and it is extremely difficult to do this.

As the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xianlong always only kneeled down to worship the heaven and the earth.

But Emperor Xianlong actually knelt down in front of the mountain chief and in front of Zhao Xun.

This is simply a shame.

For a long time, Emperor Xianlong could not forget this painful experience.

Whenever he thinks about it, Emperor Xianlong will still beat the ground angrily to vent his anger.

Looking at it now, it seems that everything is preordained somewhere.

"Is there no other way?"

Emperor Xianlong found that he still couldn't get around this knot.

If everything develops according to the original plan, he may be able to rely on the Corruptor to indirectly destroy Haoran Academy.

But according to Yuan Tiangang, it seems that the Academy will not be wiped out by the Corruptor.

In terms of the number of days, it seems that the academy will be the last laugher.

"No, it should be the last chance to approve the academy."

Seeing that Emperor Xianlong was still stubborn, Yuan Tiangang let out a long sigh.

He thought that it was necessary for Emperor Xianlong to realize the seriousness of the problem at this time.

If the situation really develops out of control, let alone Emperor Xianlong, even the entire royal family of the Great Zhou would not be enough to be buried with him.

The strength of the academy can be described as vividly reflected at this moment.

Even Yuan Tiangang has to admire.

Hard power is here, even if it is a conspiracy, it is useless.

The strength of the Corruptors is that they can use their powerful invasion force to eradicate any forces that do not obey them.

But the academy is obviously not among them.

Whether it is explosive power, tension or endurance, the Academy is not comparable to the Corruptor.

From the beginning to the end, the Corruptor showed a transcendent fighting spirit, but the fighting spirit of the academy was more than that.

It can be said that this is an evenly matched matchup.

But in the end the academy will still be the winning side.

Under such circumstances, if the court of the Great Zhou could stand on the side of the academy, the worst outcome would be to never communicate with each other.

But if at this time the court of the Great Zhou stood on the opposite side of the academy, and even did not hesitate to draw a sword against the academy, then the result might really become uncontrollable or even out of control.

Sometimes Yuan Tiangang didn't even dare to imagine this scene, because it was so terrifying.

But once he has the chance, he still hopes to control the situation well.

Now he has told the Great Zhou Emperor all the secrets he has seen, and he hopes that Emperor Xianlong will seriously consider it.

This is really saving the fate of the Great Zhou royal family.

Perhaps just one decision will determine the future of Da Zhou for a long time to come.

Really think twice.

Yuan Tiangang stared at Emperor Xianlong, hoping that Emperor Xianlong would give him the answer he had been waiting for for a long time.

But Emperor Xianlong didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a decision.

Emperor Xianlong was in a state of silence, as if he was competing with himself.

This is really frustrating.

Yuan Tiangang knew that Emperor Xianlong had a threshold in his heart, but everyone needs to keep looking forward.

If you have been immersed in a certain environment and cannot extricate yourself, if you have been immersed in a certain state, it is impossible to go long.

Emperor Xianlong now needs to choose not only his own interests, but also the interests of the entire Great Zhou royal family.

Really can't hesitate any longer.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

Yuan Tiangang understood this very well.

If you still can't understand this point at this time, and still can't figure it out, then you will really be busy next time.

"I feel a little uncomfortable, Tianshi Yuan should step down first."

After waiting for a long time, Yuan Tiangang waited for such a sentence.

He couldn't help but be disappointed.

He knew very well that Emperor Xianlong couldn't get around this knot.

Zhao Xun put too much pressure on him.It is difficult for Emperor Xianlong to really get out of it in a short period of time.

So Emperor Xianlong needs time.

But does God still leave time for Emperor Xianlong?

Obviously, Yuan Tiangang could see from the secrets of heaven and heaven that Emperor Xianlong and the Li family of the Great Zhou Dynasty would face a catastrophe, but why didn't Emperor Xianlong seize this only chance to save himself?

Yuan Tiangang didn't understand, Yuan Tiangang really didn't understand.

Sometimes people really fall into a blind spot.

It is difficult for people who fall into the blind spot to adjust in time.

The consequence of not being able to adjust is that you have to be immersed in that cramped and depressing atmosphere for a long time.

If it goes on for a long time, the whole person will go crazy.

Emperor Xianlong is the emperor and the son of heaven, and he has many responsibilities that need to be borne by him.

But the most important responsibility is to ensure the prosperity of the country.

A country and a dynasty, if they can't even guarantee the fate of the country, they are really in a precarious state at any time.

Yuan Tiangang knew very well that he didn't have much time to wait.

But at this time, as a courtier of the Great Zhou, he still had no choice but to respect Emperor Xianlong's decision.

What can he do?

Since Emperor Xianlong didn't make a good plan, all he could do was wait silently on the sidelines.

Giving Emperor Xianlong time is also giving him time.

Of course, it seems that there is still a little time, I hope Emperor Xianlong can seize this last chance.

"My minister retire."

Yuan Tiangang gave a deep salute to Emperor Xianlong, and then retreated respectfully.

"Life is really unpredictable."

Yuan Tiangang left the palace and returned to Qin Tianjian.

Seeing his mentor returning, Li Chunfeng immediately went to meet him.

"How is it, teacher, has the emperor agreed to cooperate with the academy?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have said everything I can say, but it seems difficult for Your Majesty to get out of this knot."

Li Chunfeng's complexion immediately dropped.

"Emperor Xianlong, I really don't know what to say. Isn't this a typical example of trying to save face and suffer. What's the point of him insisting on it at this time?"

"Well, what I said to your Majesty as a teacher is already very clear. Those who win the academy win the world. If your majesty wants to push the academy to the so-called opposite, the academy and the court are enemies. Even the corrupters can't defeat the academy. How is it possible, Your Majesty?"

Yuan Tiangang really didn't want to see this happen.

But he knew very well that if this scene really happened, he would definitely not be on the court's side.

Although he is the Great Zhou State Master, he is also a Taoist Celestial Master.

He has to think about Taoism and be responsible for Taoism.

If they break with the academy at this time, the entire Taoist sect will be under tremendous pressure.

With the current size and strength of the Daoist sect, confront the scholars all over the world, break?

Just thinking about it makes it impossible.

Isn't this hitting the stone with an egg?

"My teacher said that no one in this world can fight against a scholar. A scholar's mouth and pen in his hand can annihilate everything."

Yuan Tiangang started pacing with his hands behind his back.

"The most painful thing in the world is that you can clearly see what is about to happen but you can't stop it. As a teacher, you can see everything clearly, but as a teacher, you really can't stop it."

Yuan Tiangang's emotions were broken, and Li Chunfeng certainly saw it.

He felt sorry for his teacher.

"Master, you've already done the best you can. Since this dog emperor is so stubborn, it's not my problem. We don't care about him anymore. If the situation really develops to In the situation you expected, it’s a big deal for us to part ways with the dog emperor. Anyway, no matter who is changed to be the emperor, he must still want the national teacher."

"Now it seems that I can only think this way first. Let's take one step at a time."

Yuan Tiangang seemed somewhat helpless.

For him, the current situation is indeed a bit out of control and beyond expectations.

If he can't realize the initial expectation, then he really has to make some more choices in order to preserve the Daomen.

It is not necessary for him to really join the academy, and it is not necessary for him to really stand in the camp of the academy, but maintaining neutrality is the most basic thing.

If he can't even maintain neutrality, then when the war starts, I'm afraid everything will really get out of control.

"Men, I think that the current situation may not be completely unpredictable."

Yuan Tiangang took a deep breath and said: "At present, we can still control the situation, at least for a short period of time. I hope His Majesty can figure it out. As long as His Majesty can show favor to the academy, the national fortune of Da Zhou will be fine." I can keep it. I am afraid that His Majesty is really single-minded and decides to go all the way to the dark. If that is the case, I am afraid that the situation will really get out of control."

"Um"

Li Chunfeng can understand the meaning of his teacher.

"So don't go out during this time, just stay in the Qin Tianjian obediently. Whenever something important happens, we will always be able to respond in time."

Li Chunfeng's mood slowly calmed down.

Indeed, for the Taoist sect, the situation is still under control.

The most worrying thing should be that the royal family should be Emperor Xianlong.

They have nothing to worry about.

"Well, I know my mentor. During this period of time, I will stay in the Qin Tianjian obediently and will never go out to cause trouble."

Li Chunfeng patted his chest and promised.

"Get out, get out of here!"

After Yuan Tiangang left, Emperor Xianlong was furious and threw many porcelains in the palace to pieces.

Porcelain shards can be seen everywhere in the warm pavilion.

All the palace people dare not show their atmosphere.

Everyone could understand that His Majesty the Emperor was in a fit of anger at the moment, and it was obviously not a good choice to come forward and touch His Majesty's bad luck at this time.

The reason why Emperor Xianlong was so angry was not without reason.

Now the entire imperial court is full of flatterers, and when something really happens, there are very few people who can provide due help to Emperor Xianlong.

And Emperor Xianlong can rely on Master Huiyan and Yuan Tiangang.

Needless to say, Master Huiyan, Yuan Tiangang's words are actually a person with a strong attribute of a magic stick.

In many cases, what Yuan Tiangang can do is what he wants to do.

If Yuan Tiangang didn't want to, he just had to keep his mouth shut.

For Yuan Tiangang, maintaining absolute silence is actually a sign that the situation is not serious.

In other words, if Yuan Tiangang speaks out, it means that the situation is already getting out of control.

Yuan Tiangang's entry into the palace this time was beyond Emperor Xianlong's expectations.

He didn't expect Yuan Tiangang to appear suddenly at this time.

In fact, thinking about it now, Yuan Tiangang still has a lot of selfishness in entering the palace this time.

If Yuan Tiangang is really only for the court, he will never happen until now?
In other words, why did he go early?

Wait until the situation is out of control and in a mess before jumping out and pretending to be a good person?
The more Emperor Xianlong thought about it, the more angry he became.

When had he suffered such grievances?

Alas, I can only say that meeting people is not kind.

Emperor Xianlong really trusted Yuan Tiangang too much on weekdays, and his favor and trust in him had reached a certain level.

Even Emperor Xianlong gave Yuan Tiangang and his disciples a considerable degree of autonomy to do things according to their temperament.

This caused Yuan Tiangang to drift more and more.It is obvious that he has the task of spying on the secrets of the sky, but he often does not report to Emperor Xianlong immediately after spying on the secrets of the sky.

So, what is the use of Emperor Xianlong wanting him?

Emperor Xianlong knew very well that Yuan Tiangang still had a small child in his heart at the moment.

He should be weighing the pros and cons at this moment and thinking about how to maximize the benefits of the Taoist sect.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Master Huiyan should be similar.

It's just that the Buddhism of the Western Regions has just entered the Central Plains at this moment, and it still needs the strong support of the imperial court.

In other words, at this moment Master Huiyan's wings are not hard yet, so he can't seem to have no desires like Yuan Tiangang.

Therefore, Master Huiyan is obviously more respectful than Yuan Tiangang in his attitude towards Emperor Xianlong.

But what about after a while?

What about after Master Huiyan got what he wanted?

Can he still maintain his original intention and respect Emperor Xianlong like he is now?
Emperor Xianlong didn't know.
