Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Wu Jing's brushwork became more and more sophisticated.

Those short biographies about Journey to the West are also very popular among the public.

It even supported a large number of storytellers. After all, the literacy rate of the people of the Tang Dynasty was still a big problem.

I just don’t know how long it will take for this book "Private Interviews in Private Servers" to be circulated in the three realms. After all, the human race still attaches great importance to the taboos of the emperor.

Even if Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the Tang Dynasty, the word "world" would have to be removed.

Li Shimin would not stop easily. The reason why he chose to inform Yu Di about the Yin Division was actually just to let the other party know his whereabouts.

and the dangers you may face.

Otherwise, if he had an accident one day, they wouldn't know where to "collect his body".

But on the other hand, it actually shows that his heart is no longer as free and easy as when he first came out of Chang'an. Especially after the idea of ​​"if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent" gradually converged, he met the people of the Tang Dynasty again. Perhaps he himself was not aware of the real current situation, and he was becoming more and more "lucky about his life".

And this may not be a bad thing for the people of Tang Dynasty.

If the people of the Central Plains could choose an emperor and let him live forever and rule the empire forever, then Li Shimin would definitely be at the forefront.

And often an emperor who is loved by the people will naturally not be so pleasing to the eyes of the wealthy families.

Therefore, in today's Tang Dynasty, there are definitely a group of people who do not want Li Shimin to sit on the throne forever.

There is an old saying in the world, a dynasty built on flowing water is a family built on iron.

There are also many emperors who have needed the support of aristocratic families and been coerced by aristocratic families since ancient times. Because they were able to ascend the throne because they had the support of the aristocratic families.

Even if Li Tang was able to win the world, he would still have the support of powerful people.

Moreover, Li Tang was originally from a wealthy family.

It can even be said that their Li family is not even considered a top aristocratic family.

The five surnames and Qiwang are the real noble families in the Central Plains.

What Li Tang relied on was not the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, but the support of the Guanlong Group to secure the world.

However, the power of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes should not be underestimated. Even the gentry, including the Guanlong Group, are still honored by marrying women with the Five Surnames. There are even rumors that the royal family is not qualified to marry women with the Five Surnames.

Li Shimin didn't care about this matter on the surface. Wasn't Li Zhi's crown prince, today's Queen Wang, from the Wang family in Taiyuan?
But people say that this Taiyuan Wang family is the Taiyuan Wang family of the Guanlong Group, not the Taiyuan Wang family of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
Moreover, the Central Plains is full of capable people.

Without Butcher Zhang, would we still be unable to eat pigs with hair on them?
This is also the reason why Li Shimin vigorously developed the imperial examination and promoted the children of poor families. The cultural lifeline must still be in his own hands.

Of course, not all people with the five surnames do not work for Li Tang.

For example, the Li family in Longxi, the Cui family in Qinghe, and the Wang family in Taiyuan belonged to these two groups at the same time.

This is also the same as the multi-line investment method used by aristocratic families, just like the three Zhuge brothers during the Three Kingdoms period who joined Wei, Shu and Wu respectively. It is a routine operation.

Historical practice has proved that compared to wise and foolish kings, mediocre kings are still the majority.

According to past experience, when they encounter a powerful emperor, they should avoid it. After the emperor dies, there will be a stage for them to perform.

The fight between aristocratic and wealthy families is far more than just a short period of time.

Coincidentally, Li Shimin doesn't strive for temporary success now.

There is a fundamental conflict in the positions of the two sides. Once Li Shimin seriously seeks immortality, not to mention thousands of years, even if he lives for a few hundred more years, it will be enough for them.

After all, the current Five Surnames and Qi Wangs have been suppressed to a certain extent and are somewhat out of breath.

Faced with the suppression of the Guanlong Group and the impact of the rise of disciples from humble families, their previously transcendent status has been shaken.

In addition, there are always some enterprising young disciples in the clan who are unwilling to be trapped in the clan, and even choose to leave home temporarily and participate in the imperial examination together.

Their idea was to show the emperor and the princes of the court that disciples from wealthy families were indeed more talented than those from poor families.

Both Li Shimin and the court officials recognized this.

It is undeniable that their overall quality is indeed much better than that of the disciples from poor families, but it does not mean that the imperial court must use them, nor does it mean that the disciples from poor families are not qualified for their duties.

Wei Zheng did not stay long in the world and said goodbye to Li Shimin before Li Chunfeng came back.

Li Shimin also cut off contact with Master Sanzang at the same time. At this time, Li Chunfeng seemed to be stuck, and happened to come to Li Shimin's side.

There was a tacit understanding between both parties. Li Chunfeng did not ask about the affairs here, and Li Shimin did not talk to Li Chunfeng much.

In fact, this was also because Li Shimin could not figure out Li Chunfeng's position clearly. Although he was a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he was also the spokesperson of the Human Religion.

Li Shimin didn't know it in the past, but when he left Chang'an this time, Yuan Tiangang told him something: "Human religion can depose and establish the emperor."

The implication is to tell Li Shimin that if it is absolutely necessary, he can ask Li Chunfeng to completely abolish his status as emperor. In this way, the rule that the emperor cannot live forever will not take effect on him.

It was only at this time that Li Shimin understood that when Li Chunfeng accepted Li Chengqian, he must have used the authority of the Human Religion to remove the purple imperial aura from Li Chengqian, so that he could practice smoothly.
The same method can be used on the deposed prince, and naturally it can also be used on him, the supreme emperor.

But Li Shimin didn't actually want such immortality. What he really wanted to achieve was to live a few more years as an emperor.

He didn't even seek immortality, he just wanted to live out the lifespan his body should have.

And with the power of his current human bloodline, his longevity is at least 200 years. It is not impossible to reach the next level of 500 years.

Compared to those who practice Taoism and Buddhism, a mere 500 years of life is naturally not worth mentioning, but for ordinary humans, it is already a very luxurious number.

In this regard.

Emperor Fengdu also said that he had been interested in Xue Rengui for a long time and waited for Xue Rengui to reach his longevity and left him in the underworld as a palace of hell. However, he did not expect that the power of his human bloodline would break through several bottlenecks in succession.If Li Shimin has to make another breakthrough to have a chance to reach 500 years of life, then Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance have already exceeded the 500-year range.

Purple Palace.

Emperor Ziwei never paid much attention to matters in the human world.

Moreover, he does not seem to deliberately control his incarnations in the lower realm. If they show signs of losing control, Emperor Ziwei will even choose to go along with the flow and help them.

His first incarnation was Emperor Fengdu. Since Emperor Fengdu entered the underworld, he almost stayed in his mansion and did not come out. Emperor Ziwei did not have any expectations for him, as long as he could serve his full term safely. During this 3000-year term, if the position of Emperor Fengdu is successfully handed over to the next colleague, then the mission will be considered to be successfully completed.

This is where Emperor Fengdu is, which limits him. Even if he wants to create some tricks, there is no room for him to do so.

But even so, it doesn't mean that he is willing to settle down.

Otherwise, he would not have replaced four of the ten Yamas, and his goal was to replace all ten if he had the chance.

The second incarnation of Emperor Ziwei was Boyi Kao. Originally, according to the ideas of heaven and Taoism, Boyi Kao was determined to be the first emperor in the lower world.

But he never expected that the purple aura in him would not have the protective effect to turn danger into safety in the face of King Zhou's ultimate human king power.

Boyikao's choice to fall into the tiger's mouth was actually an important reason for the tragedy. That is, the list of gods was not filled with names in advance, otherwise Boyikao would have to go to the underworld to report his reincarnation after his death.

What arrangements can be made for Boyi who is admitted to the Conferred God List?

He could only consecrate one person on the list of gods, "Zhongtian North Pole Ziwei Emperor". He was the evil god of the Five Dou Stars, Ji Yao, and was not one of the six emperors of heaven.

The sixth imperial title of Ziwei Emperor is "Zhongtian North Pole Ziwei Emperor". With the addition of the word "Taihuang", the status and status are completely different.

The real Emperor Ziwei, the Lord of the Stars, the Master of All Things, the Emperor of the Ten Thousand Dharmas and Golden Immortals, lords over Jinque and leads Fengdu below.At the top, he governs Douji, and tests the number of disasters in the school; at the bottom, he governs Fengdu, and controls the ghosts and demons.He is in charge of the Five Thunder Dharma and has the magical power of the stars.
When the real Emperor Ziwei was in retreat, the false Emperor Ziwei replaced him in Ziwei Palace.

Now sitting in Ziwei Palace, he is the real Emperor Ziwei.

After all, Boyikao is a dead soul on the list of gods, and his behavior is restricted by heaven to a certain extent. It is difficult to have his own position in the face of such a "violation of heaven".

He did not dare to make some key decisions for Emperor Ziwei.

In addition to Emperor Fengdu and Boyikao, several other incarnations of Emperor Ziwei were also restless in the lower realm.

The first is Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

It was also considered that the national destiny in the 800th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty was approaching. The Jade Emperor asked Emperor Ziwei to send another incarnation to the lower world to overcome the regret of Boyikao's failure to ascend the throne. Emperor Ziwei accepted it happily.

But it is true that the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, but it could not be resisted. Among the human race in the lower world, another "unparalleled ruthless man" appeared.

Originally, according to Heavenly Court's idea, they wanted Ziweixing to go down to the lower realms, unify the world, and officially establish the title of emperor.

However, with Ying Zheng's presence, he was able to suppress Ziwei's imperial energy to such an extent that he did not dare to move at all, and was even on the verge of condensing the human king's energy.At that time, the Jade Emperor even believed that if Ying Zheng did not die, the incarnation of Emperor Ziwei might have made a trip to the lower world in vain.

After all, the age difference between the two of them is only three years.

Later, Yingzheng also unified the six kingdoms, and believed that he had "the virtues of the three emperors and more merits than the five emperors", so he took the title of emperor. He was the first emperor of the human race, so he called himself the "First Emperor".

As for the title of "Emperor", although he has not publicly opposed it, he has never claimed to be so.

Obviously, in terms of his "ambition" and acknowledging that he is the "Son of Heaven".

Moreover, in his view, the term "Emperor" is a constraint on his own power and legal system. In the whole world, everything is the land of the king; on the shore of the land, there are no ministers of the king. As an emperor, how can he be subject to the rule of heaven? limit?
Moreover, the First Emperor never believed in destiny, and his destiny must be in his own hands.

He also has this confidence.

Regardless of the outcome of the First Emperor, it is undeniable that the idea of ​​letting Heaven completely control the human race failed once again.

Even after the death of the First Emperor, Liu Bang, the incarnation of Emperor Ziwei, took advantage of the situation and finally defeated the overlord of Western Chu and became the final winner. After successfully ascending the throne, he chose to inherit the Qin Dynasty's legal system very willfully. After he ascended the throne, He also calls himself emperor.

The only difference from the First Emperor was that he still recognized the theory of "Son of Heaven".

But it is obvious that the future emperors of the human race will use their connections more than their status as "Emperor".

When it is beneficial to oneself, he calls himself "Emperor". If it becomes a shackles for him to do things, then he may not be able to do anything.

However, usually, in the hands of a capable king, the status of "Emperor" will become a useful tool to help the emperor rule the country's subjects.

And the foolish kings and tyrants basically do not take this identity seriously.

That is to say, those mediocre emperors suffered deeply from it. Instead, it became a shackles that restricted the "imperial power". From time to time, they even had to issue edicts to sin against themselves and pray for God's forgiveness and forgiveness.

Liu Xiu will be relatively honest in the future.

In addition, Wang Mang was far inferior to the luck of King Zhou and the First Emperor Ying Zheng, so the Ziwei Emperor Qi, which had been suppressed for a long time, truly showed his "edge" in the human world for the first time.

Fire stones fell from the sky and destroyed Wang Mang’s army
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Liu Xiu is often able to turn danger into safety. In addition to his own composure, making decisions before taking action, it is also because of his great luck that no one in the world can rival him.

When there is a child of luck who never wastes time, he is undoubtedly an "impeccable" existence.

In order to prevent another accident, Heaven even sent 28 constellations directly to the mortal world to help, and he had 28 Yuntai generals under his command.

Liu Xiu's existence finally proved for "Ziweixing".

But Li Shimin, who has incarnated into the lower world this time, judging from what he is doing now, is undoubtedly the most "rebellious" among all the Ziwei incarnations who have descended to earth.

Even Emperor Ziwei, who always flattered the "free-range" approach, would inevitably feel that the freedom limit given to him was too great.

But at this point, a solution must eventually be negotiated.
