Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

As Bai Ze and Kui Niu joined the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's reputation in the Three Realms rose sharply again.

In the heaven, the Jade Emperor seemed to have a little melancholy on his face.

When the Queen Mother on the side saw this, she felt like laughing inexplicably, but she remained serious on the surface, "Why is Your Majesty so frowning? What difficulties have you encountered?"

Asking knowingly.

When the Jade Emperor saw the Queen pretending not to know, he shook his head helplessly, but he still explained to the Queen Mother, "I can see it now. These Eight Immortals are basically prepared for Li Shimin and have nothing to do with me. I think even after they return to the throne, , don’t go to heaven, just stay on earth.”

When the empress heard about this, she said to herself: It seems that there is a reason for the rumors in the three realms that you are petty.

But the Jade Emperor cannot be entirely blamed for this. In fact, all the Eight Immortals are mavericks. Now, except for Zhongli, who became an immortal as early as the Han Dynasty, the rest don't seem to have much interest in the Heavenly Court. interest.

Needless to say, Li Chengqian and Fei Changfang. Although the former was the deposed prince of the Tang Dynasty, he now cares about the people of the world and travels around the world every day. Although he has a bad relationship with his father Li Shimin, he has never He has denied his identity as a Tang Dynasty person.

Fei Changfang was a proud disciple trained by Xue Rengui. He wanted to become a new generation of war god of the Tang Dynasty. He would open up and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty. He would make great achievements and make the wolf his Xu. There was no chance for him to drink from the vast sea. After all, these The place is now the territory of the Tang Dynasty, but the world of gods and demons is gradually integrating with the secular world. In fact, the challenges in the future will be more difficult.

As for the Barefoot Immortal and the reincarnated Emperor Donghua, Lan Caihe and Lu Dongbin, one is pretending to be a beggar and playing in the mortal world, and the other is determined to become the essence of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. It may be impossible for them to return to heaven for a while. Not that easy.

Even He Xiangu, while practicing with Jinguangxian, could not completely give up on the development of Qilin City. Her goal was to become the second Empress of Jinsheng Palace, and she also received the support of her fellow senior brother Li Tai, the King of Wei of the Tang Dynasty. He even wrote to Li Shimin, saying that he was willing to use his fiefdom as a pilot to build a city in the Tang Dynasty where humans and monsters could truly coexist like Qilin City.

It's just that this matter was suppressed by Li Shimin for the time being. He neither agreed nor dismissed it. Obviously Li Shimin was also considering it. After all, the matter was serious at this time and he couldn't make a decision easily. He had to think about it in the long term.

The Queen Mother poured a cup of tea for the Jade Emperor and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, why should you worry about this? It is said that one day in the sky and one year on the earth. Even if Li Shimin was a genius and could finally become the Taoist King, his life span would only be a few hundred years. Even if he ascends to the Fire Cloud Cave in the future, I don’t believe that the Eight Immortals will still serve Li Tang’s descendants.”

"It will only be a matter of one or two years at most." The Queen Mother said and laughed, "But after the Eight Immortals go to heaven, I'm afraid it's time for you, Your Majesty, to go through reincarnation and undergo tribulations."

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and said directly, "I originally planned to hand over the affairs of heaven to Emperor Ziwei after I went to reincarnation. Then Li Shimin is Emperor Ziwei. The incarnation and reincarnation of this person. All these comings and goings actually benefited him."

In fact, the power of Emperor Ziwei in the Three Realms is very great. However, Emperor Ziwei himself has always kept a low profile. Otherwise, if he was determined to cause trouble, it would be enough to make the Jade Emperor very worried.

If nothing else, let’s just say that the group of stars in the sky are under the control of Emperor Ziwei, and now Li Shimin in the human world and Emperor Fengdu in the underworld are also included.

The false supreme being of the three realms: the Jade Emperor;

The real Supreme Being of the Three Realms: Emperor Ziwei!

The Jade Emperor is not really upset about this matter. After all, the Jade Emperor's current obsession is to get rid of the mess he is in and retire smoothly. If Emperor Ziwei could really take over his role and become the new Supreme Being of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor would also be happy to do so.

In this way, he can leave the Three Realms and go to chaos.

The higher the level of cultivation, the more one realizes how insignificant the one-third-acre of land in the Three Realms is in the vast universe.

As the top figure in the Three Realms today, the Jade Emperor certainly knows that if he remains trapped in the Three Realms, the gap between him and the six saints will become wider and wider.

It is even possible that he will not only fail to catch up with the Six Saints, but will also be overtaken by the junior Xuandu.

As far as the Jade Emperor knew, Xuandu's cultivation level was no longer inferior to his own. It had even surpassed Kunpeng, Minghe and other veteran strong men.

But Xuandu can achieve his current level of cultivation. In addition to his extremely talented person, there is also a very important reason. That is, when fighting against extraterrestrial demons in Xuandu City, it is easy for Xuandu Archmage not to take action, but once he does, he will It represents a life and death battle with a narrow escape, and it can be said to be full of strength when it comes back victorious every time.

It is precisely this kind of high-intensity combat that can stimulate all the talents of Xuandu Archmage in the shortest possible time.

As we all know, talent does not equal strength. If talent cannot be realized, everything is empty talk.

In fact, there is no shortage of geniuses in the Three Realms, but geniuses who can truly grow up are rare. And these people are often more lucky than those who die young.

Back when Bai Ze was still the demon commander of the demon clan, the two demon kings asked Bai Ze to calculate the talents of the younger generation in the demon clan. But after Bai Ze made some calculations, the two demon kings felt a huge impact. Because according to Bai Ze's calculation, the younger generation of the demon clan who are rising in fame are actually not considered to be truly top-notch in talent.

And in Bai Ze's words, those demon clans that can be said to be extremely talented have often died long before they have grown up.

What's more, some geniuses are even bitten to death by brothers and sisters in the same litter just after they are born.

The Monster Clan is like this, and the Human Clan is actually the same. There are actually many stories of genius disciples who provoke big shots when they go out and then fall. It's just that the human race still prefers to extol some heroic stories, and the most it can do is express regret for those geniuses who died before they grew up.

But Li Shimin is slightly different here.

On his desk, there are more stories of losers.

For example, why King Zhou lost the world, why the Zhou Dynasty was divided, why wars continued among the countries in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, why the six kingdoms were destroyed one by one by Qin, and how Qin lost the world.

There are also overlord Xiang Yu who committed suicide in Wujiang River, the strong Han Dynasty lost its national destiny at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and Two Jins, and the major battles between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, etc. Li Shimin is actually not interested in how the winner wins, because he is the final winner.

But he is very concerned about the reasons why losers fail. Because he has failed before and does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

He can truly use history as a mirror, clearly observe the ups and downs, and draw lessons from it.

Why did Li Shimin treat the people well and why he wanted to win over Taoism? This is of course a lesson learned from the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Taoist priests and common people, two parties that were originally not very related, were able to unleash the power of dragon slaying when they were combined. This had to make Li Shimin sigh. From the Zexiang uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guangda at the end of the Qin Dynasty, to the Green Forest Red Eyebrow Uprising after Wang Mang usurped power, and to the peak of the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, the connection between them had to make Li Shimin, the emperor, think deeply.

Especially after he personally went to the people and paid a private visit incognito, he deeply understood the truth, under what circumstances, the people would be forced to revolt.

To be fair, as long as the common people can eat every day, even if they don't have enough to eat, he will only curse a few words at most. If he is asked to risk his life to revolt, he will definitely not do it.

If the people can have enough to eat three meals a day, then among the people, the local official will be Lord Qingtian, and the emperor will also be a good emperor.

Going one step further, if he can ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people, he will undoubtedly be a sage king.

But on the other hand, if the minimum requirement that the people can even have a bite of food cannot be guaranteed, then Li Shimin believes that it is natural for the people to revolt.

Therefore, Li Shimin, who had once been among the people, gave up the "military" pace of conquering the three realms. The top priority now is to improve people's livelihood and realize the real prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It is not about how much territory the Tang Dynasty occupied. The vastness of the country, but whether the people of the Tang Dynasty can truly live and work in peace and contentment.

After these days of long talks, Bai Ze truly understood Li Shimin's emperor's ways and sincerely admired him, "I am willing to rely on your majesty's instructions, but I will do my best to do so."

Li Shimin actually didn't have any specific arrangements for Bai Ze. Now he just took Bai Ze with him, asked him for advice from time to time, and made Bai Ze the Taifu.

The three princes of the Tang Dynasty were Taiwei, Situ and Sikong.

There are no three official positions: Taifu, Taishi and Taibao, but these official systems are not a big deal, because based on Bai Ze's knowledge, he is fully worthy of the position of Taifu.

Moreover, Bai Ze was only telling Li Shimin some secrets from ancient times in the Tang Palace, and would not participate in the operation of the court.

Li Shimin also truly respected Bai Ze as his teacher, and he was not just pretending to be respectful. Of course, whether Li Shimin was sincere or not, he could not deceive Bai Ze's perception.

This is the reason why when Li Shimin told Bai Ze about his idea of ​​an emperor, Bai Ze believed that Li Shimin was worthy enough to be called an emperor through the ages. If Li Shimin could really become a human king and rule the world, he would definitely be the one who could rule all living beings in the three realms. blessing.

In the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

When the news from the next world came, Xuanyuan Huangdi let out a hearty laugh, and his sound echoed in the valley.

"Okay, okay!"

Dayu also touched his palms and smiled, "I didn't expect that Bai Ze would actually fall in love with Li Shimin. Back then, even if I went to invite him to come out, he would always avoid me."

After hearing what Dayu said, Zhuanxu even said: "It cannot be said that except for the three Holy Emperors, who among you here has not looked for Bai Ze? But who can find him?"

All the kings looked at each other and smiled.

The bet between Xuanyuan Huangdi and Bai Ze was not a secret at that time. They both believed that they were the human king who could get Bai Ze's assistance. But whether it was Shaohao who made the Yu clan surrender, or Zhuan Xu, who could reach the heavens and the earth, or It was Dayu who controlled the floods and all failed.

After the arrival of Yu the Great, no human king went to look for Baize anymore.

The human kings of the younger generation are somewhat self-aware. Even the human kings of the Five Emperors Era are not recognized by Bai Ze, let alone their younger generations who have gradually lost their authority as human kings.

This is actually the reason why the Heavenly Dao will guide the emperor to replace the human king. The human king can no longer rule the world, but only rules the human race in Nanzhou. Of course, it is somewhat unworthy of its name.

This is also the reason why when the emperor banned the human kings, the human kings in Huoyun Cave just watched and did not take action.

What can they do?

If future generations don't fight for it, they will lose their authority as human kings and they, the ancestors, will only feel embarrassed. If they continue to stand out because of this, they will be even more shameless in front of others, and they can only follow the trend.

But they never expected that they would be given such a big surprise now.

Don't say that Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei to have such an effect, just ask Li Shimin if he recognizes it.

If he really said it to Li Shimin in front of Li Shimin that his current achievements were all because he was the incarnation of Emperor Ziwei, I'm afraid he would not agree to it for the first time. It was obvious that he had achieved his achievements with one sword and one gun, just like this sentence , it would be the same as erasing all his efforts.

In order to prove that he is himself and not the incarnation of Emperor Ziwei, Li Shimin raises his troops to attack the heavens. There is no telling what the consequences will be if a war breaks out between heaven and man.

I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe for the entire Three Realms.

Therefore, Emperor Ziwei, who has always been steady, handled this matter very clearly.

When he knew that Li Shimin wanted to realize the Taoist King's Heart, he took the initiative to cut off the connection with Li Shimin, let him be free, and became a truly independent individual, not his vassal.

The reason why Emperor Ziwei made such a choice was actually because he knew that such methods of external incarnation would often have a certain negative impact on himself.

At that time, Liu Bang, Liu Xiu and even Boyikao had a huge impact on Emperor Ziwei after their return. It can only be said that this is the power of the human race's characteristics.

The reason why Emperor Ziwei often retreats to practice is that he is actually killing these reincarnations, which have an impact on his character, but the effect is not obvious.

What Emperor Fuxi said is indeed true, one day is a human being, and a lifetime is a human being.

He even gave Emperor Ziwei the idea of ​​​​reincarnating in the lower realm of his body. He wanted to truly experience the wonders of the human race. But he had never made up his mind, and the Jade Emperor once revealed the rumor to him. He wanted to If he is asked to shoulder the burden of heaven, he should not be able to do anything else in the near future. (End of chapter)
