Daxia Lingxian

Zhou Tiren and the other thousands of Confucian officials never imagined that the Holy One would actually suppress him and others!

Moreover, they could sense that the Holy One was extremely angry.

Yes, it was an angry and sad emotion.

This emotion was so clear and real that it made them feel as if they were in a dream.

At this moment, extreme regret surged into their hearts, and everyone wanted to cry without tears.

Did not expect ah.

Unexpectedly, the magic power of the Holy Ghost was so powerful, so powerful that they could not even dream of it. It was far beyond their knowledge.

It turns out that the previous miracles of the Holy Ghost were all real.

If they had known it earlier, how could they dare to fight against the Holy Ghost?

Terror and despair came overwhelmingly, and more than a thousand Confucian officials stared blankly at the shrouded golden hands, all like puppets.

Even Zhou Tiren and other twelve Confucian and Taoist people looked like they were lost at this time, their eyes were confused and bleak.

Everything he has done in his life comes to mind like a fleeting glimpse, and is vividly remembered.

Study, become an official, serve the emperor, establish a career, educate children...

One by one, one by one, they are all so clear.

It's like dissecting one's own heart and examining one's soul.

They suddenly discovered that it had always been for their own and family interests, and for fame, wealth, power and status!

That is the true self deep inside, the true self!

For the sake of profit, my true self has always been selfish, even at any cost.

As for benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and love, loyalty to the public and the country, and honesty for the people... they are just slogans, just words on the lips... that's all!

They did not really take the sufferings of the rise and fall of the Great Xia Kingdom and the people of the world into their hearts.

I don't know when they will no longer... bow their heads to see the common people!

They are the most duplicitous and duplicitous group of people in the world.

In order to maintain the image of righteousness, they have to wear a mask to hide their true self.

So the principles of the saints and the mantras of the famous religions only became the words of the quarrel! Become a rhetoric that deceives yourself and others!

So much so that he claims to be a gentleman, but he does not have the magnanimity of a gentleman, but has the sympathy of a villain!

Where is the real Confucian Taoist priest here? This is the Confucian thief.

What is the difference between this and the devil in cassock?

No wonder Sheng Yang suppressed himself and others in turn. It turned out that he and others had become evil and heretical!

Hahaha! ridiculous! sad! What a shame! Pitiful!

Suddenly, they seemed to see their own miserable and contradictory life.

I saw myself losing my original intention and falling from grace.

God!

Zhou Tiren and others burst into tears, looking sad but with a hint of relief.

"I used to be a gentleman and be cautious about being independent. I didn't deceive the darkroom. I used to humble myself and be honest."

"I have always followed the path of my heart."

"I once had the world in my heart and was filled with sincerity. I drank ice for ten years, but it was hard to cool my hot blood."

"I was once a green young man who ran in the mountains and read in front of the window. I have young ambitions and am waiting for my youth."

"I also had Gan Tang's legacy and asked for life for the people."

Alas, it's a pity that there is no beginning, and there is an end.

How can one be born with passion and die with joy?

Everyone shed tears and felt the passage of life. Instead, they smiled and felt great sadness and great joy in their hearts.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening.

Zhou Tiren and others raised their eyes to the sky, looked at the golden light, listened to the sound of reading, and suddenly felt a sense of silence in their hearts.

Holy man, I waited wrongly.

If there is an afterlife, my original intention will be as solid as a rock, and I will go far if I practice hard.

If there is an afterlife, I will still be a scholar and a real scholar.

Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith!

"Holy Ghost, Your Majesty, I am wrong." Zhou Tiren's body faded under the golden light, and his voice was a bit ethereal.

"I understand, I will die if I hear the truth in the morning!"

"Thank you, Lord Holy Ghost."

"Your Majesty, take care. I say goodbye."

More than a thousand Confucian officials shouted together: "I am wrong! Thank you Holy Ghost!"

"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!"

"If there is an afterlife, be a true scholar and serve the country!"

"My lord, bid farewell to Your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of more than a thousand Confucian officials slowly disappeared under the golden light, leaving only a pile of Daxia clothes.

They all fell under the suppression of the Holy One!

Only a few Confucian officials such as Wen Changbo and Zhang Tao who were not involved were spared.

Chong Zhen stared blankly at the empty square with only clothes on the floor, and suddenly burst into tears.

It was the first time for the queen and others to see the emperor crying so much, and they had never seen the emperor so sad.

"Your Majesty..." the queen comforted, "Why should your Majesty be sad about this..."

Chong Zhen shook his head with tears streaming down his face: "You don't understand! You don't understand! You don't understand."

Luo Ning understood. He did not comfort Chongzhen, but poured a glass of wine and said lightly:

"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."

"Then I wish you all the best to be real scholars in the next life."

"This glass of wine is a tribute to your original intention back then."

After speaking, Luo Ning moved his hand, and the holy statue flew to him.

Luo Ning's spiritual consciousness sensed the Holy One, and he immediately sensed the pure and vast power of Confucian will.

Just now, he absorbed many of the saint's merits and wishes, and possessed Confucian and Taoist wishes, and could display Confucian and Taoist supernatural powers.

The great power of Confucianism and Taoism’s supernatural power is the Confucian mantra, which can restrain, subjugate demons, purify the mind, and uprightness in one word! A magical power belonging to the spell system.

The magical power of the spell system has always been difficult to cultivate, and it is also very powerful. It is the best among many magical power systems.

Luo Ning has mastered the great magical powers of Confucianism and Taoism, and has sufficient Confucian will power. He can act as a Confucian and Taoist saint and ban the cultivation of the Tribulation Immortal!

It is equivalent to saying that he can use this to crush the immortals of the same level!

There is another powerful wishing power tool.

But this thing can only be used to deal with evil spirits. Although it has great power, its range of use is very narrow.

A thought came from the saint and was immediately known to Luo Ning.

The idea is: "Be kind to the people and love things, and the world is for the common good."

This is a requirement. As long as he benevolent to the people and loves things, and the world is for the common good, the saint will be willing to be used by Luo Ning.

The holy treasure is a treasure of wish power and has been integrated into the way of heaven. Luoning can use the Holy One, so it is naturally the Holy One's choice.

Luo Ning was not a Confucian scholar, but he was recognized by the Holy One.

The truth is: a person with great benevolence is a Confucian!

But if Luo Ning changes his original intention, the Holy One will no longer be of use to him.

At this time, even Luo Ning, who had completed his cultivation after overcoming the tribulation, couldn't help but be surprised by the Holy One's magic power.

This thing turned out to be the same as Jiuding, without levels.

The power depends on the user.

It can be said that there is no upper limit.

It can be a real weapon, an immortal weapon, or it can become an innate treasure that surpasses the immortal weapon!

Who says heaven and earth are ruthless? If Heaven were truly ruthless, treasures like the Jiuding and the Holy One would not have been created.

Luo Ning accepted the saint and then said to Chong Zhen:

"Emperor, Confucianism and Taoism will not perish. They will only become part of the great cause of faith and return to true nirvana."

"Confucianism and Taoism can be restored to the true avenue."

This was his attitude towards Confucianism.

Confucianism and Taoism are not wrong in themselves. Not only is it correct, it is also the right way.

However, Confucianism and Taoism should not be exclusive, nor should they monopolize the channels for selecting officials and be tied to power.

Confucianism and Taoism educate the world and purify people's hearts, which can be integrated with the great cause of faith. As long as it is not corrupted by power, Confucianism and Taoism are still very powerful.

Chongzhen held back his tears and said: "In the Great Xia State, the survival of the people must be entrusted to His Majesty the Holy Ghost. But for the great cause of faith, no minister dares to disobey."

Luo Ning nodded, "In that case, please ask the emperor to issue an edict."

Many things have been discussed and the emperor can just issue an edict.

"Yes." Chongzhen accepted the order solemnly, and then wrote the edict himself, saying:

"The emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict says: ... the holy ghost will help the world with the righteous way, help the yin and yang, save the common people, and restore the great cause of faith..."

"...I, as the emperor, will strictly abide by the great teachings of the Holy Ghost and govern the Ming Dynasty, and everything will be renewed..."

"...respect the Holy Ghost as the Great Virtuous Taoist Lord of Taiwei Wuji Xuanyuan, and build 36,000 Holy Ghost temples..."

"...One is to abolish the privileges of Confucianism and cultivators, abolish the system of spiritual officials, and abolish the imperial examination of Confucianism and Classics."

"The second is to build a holy ghost temple and worship the holy ghosts. The underworld is in charge of the affairs of the underworld, and the court is not allowed to interfere."

"Three: light corvee and low taxes, reform the imperial tax system..."

"On the fourth day, the people are allowed to supervise, remove, and recommend officials to detect lawlessness."

"The fifth day is to abolish the system of preferential treatment of foreign races in the country, to clarify the debate between Hua and Yi, and to give priority to Xia people..."

...

After Chongzhen finished writing, he printed it and spread it directly to the world.

But now Daxia only has a small half of its territory left.

Almost all the Confucian and Taoist officials in Beijing were wiped out, and Chongzhen was able to monopolize the power and issue this edict that shocked the world effortlessly.

Although the officials of local states and counties are also Confucian and Taoist monks, all the Confucian officials in the court have been wiped out. They had lost the leader of the court, and they dared not refuse to obey the imperial edict.

Then, Chongzhen appointed Zhang Tao as a cabinet bachelor and joined the cabinet to manage politics.

But Chongzhen also encountered difficulties.

There are thousands of vacancies for official positions above the fifth rank in the court, and the court halls are all empty. What will happen to the government?

If one promotes state and county officials below, aren’t they also Confucian cultivators?

Chong Zhen suddenly found that he was in a situation where no one could help him!

Luo Ning smiled slightly and took out a list.

"Emperor, this is the list I have drawn up. They are all talented people. They can replace Zhou Tiren and others and help you manage the government."

"I will lend you these talents temporarily. When your new officials are trained, they will leave the court."

Chong Zhen opened it and took a look. The first people he saw were Su Xian, Li Dingguo, Gu Yunxiao and others, all from the Luoning family. In fact, most of them were from Longcuo City.

There were always four to five hundred people, not only men and women, but also demon cultivators!

Chongzhen was more straightforward and awarded him an official position immediately.

Among them, Su Xian entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and Li Dingguo became the governor-general.

Even the money and the four calculations have become Yizhou shepherds!

Even the Tubo Marshal Guojie who surrendered to Luoning that year also became the Minister of War.

Although it is true that one person has achieved enlightenment, chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven, Luo Ning has a public heart. He has considered every candidate for an official position, and they are by no means a random one.

Moreover, these people are indeed temporarily lent to Chong Zhen, and one day they will be brought to the immortal world to serve as his team.

Xia Zhi saw that Luo Ning was in a good mood and said cautiously:

"Your Majesty the Holy Ghost, there is a man named Cai Quan'er. May I ask how to deal with him?"

He did not dare to deal with Cai Quan'er without permission, so he could only ask the Holy Ghost for instructions.

Luo Ning's consciousness had long sensed Cai Quan'er, an acquaintance. When he heard Xia Zhi's words, he said directly:

"Let her go, restore her freedom, and don't make things difficult for her. She can go wherever she wants."

When Su Chuo heard this, he smiled with quiet eyes.

"Yes!" Xia Zhi accepted the order respectfully, "I will do it myself."

He has understood that it is safer to treat Cai Quan'er well.

On the summer solstice, I left the palace and came to the other courtyard where Cai Quan'er lived. I saw the gray-haired Cai Quan'er looking at the sky in a daze.

Of course Cai Quan'er knew about the previous annihilation of the Confucian and Taoist officials. The place where she lived was originally very close to the palace gate.

She saw with her own eyes that so many powerful Confucian and Taoist ministers not only failed to destroy Luo Ning, but were also destroyed by Luo Ning's backhand.

When Cai Quan'er saw Xia Zhi, she immediately stood up and bowed down, "Cai Quan'er, the sinful woman, greetings..."

Before she could kneel down, she was supported by Xia Zhi's hand.

"Get up." Xia Zhi actually had a smile on his face, "His Majesty the Holy Ghost has issued an order to let you go and restore your freedom. Don't embarrass you."

He is really happy today.

"Cai Quan'er, this courtyard and the slaves in it are all given to you. This can be regarded as the grace of His Majesty the Holy Ghost."

"From now on, you will receive the salary of a fifth-grade female official."

"For the family members of traitors in the world to receive such preferential treatment, you are like a scorpion."

These two rewards are of course not Luo Ning's intention, but Xia Zhi's own intention.

But if it wasn't for Luoning's sake, Xia Zhi wouldn't be so generous.

When Cai Quan'er's nose became sour, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she broke down in sobs.

The figure of a young man appeared in front of her eyes, so familiar yet so strange.

Once, he was so close to her, so close that she could feel his breathing, hear his heartbeat, and smell his breath.

But now, he is as contemptuous as mountains and rivers, far away from the natural chasm, and even in his dreams is out of reach.

"Brother Ning..." Cai Quan'er sobbed and uttered two words, "Thank you..."

Xia Zhi, as the magistrate of the Xiuyi Mansion and the head of Daxia's secret service, had always been as stone-hearted as ever, but at this moment he sighed with regret and said:

"Ms. Cai, although you have changed your mind, you still have a trace of the old friend's love. You have no worries about food and clothing in this life, so it's not bad. His majesty, the Holy Ghost, is so virtuous and magnanimous that he won't argue with you. After all, you have gained some glory. .”

Of course Cai Quan'er took advantage of it. Otherwise, she would have died in prison and been buried in a dog's belly. How could she live in the exquisite North Courtyard and be cared for by slaves?

Cai Quan'er sobbed and said, "I would like to ask the Commander-in-Chief to tell His Majesty the Holy Ghost that Cai Quan'er will bow down and thank you and pray for blessings throughout his life."

Xia Zhi nodded, "As long as you feel repentant. Just take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

But after he took a few steps, he suddenly turned around, looked at Cai Quan'er with twinkling eyes, and said in a faint tone:

"His Majesty the Holy Ghost said, you can go wherever you want."

"Now that you are free, you won't go to the traitor Cai Ji, right?"

"Huang Taiji has arrived at Banquan. The Qing army is only a few days away from Chang'an, and the traitor Cai Ji is Huang Taiji's military advisor."

Cai Quan'er trembled and couldn't speak.

Xia Zhi sneered and said sadly:

"So, I guessed it right? You still want to find Cai Ji?"

"Don't you think that if you find Cai Ji, you can enjoy his glory and wealth again?"

"Do you think that the Tatars are so powerful that they can dominate the world?"

Cai Quan'er's face turned pale and her voice choked with sobs:

"Master Fu Shuai misunderstood the sinful woman. The sinful woman really wants to leave Chang'an temporarily to find him. But it's not to enjoy his glory and wealth."

"The sinful woman just wants to ask him face to face why he betrayed the country and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty regardless of the safety of his family and the reputation of his ministers!"

"It was his treason that sent me to prison, his sister-in-law was tortured to death in Jiaofangsi, his young nephews were beheaded, and his niece became a prostitute and died miserably at a young age..."

"If I hadn't been a childhood sweetheart with the current Holy Ghost and the then Duke Wei, I would have died tragically in the Jiaofang Division just like my sister-in-law."

Xia Zhi nodded, "That's right. You have benefited from being imprisoned in the women's prison instead of being thrown into the Jiaofang Department."

Cai Quan'er gritted her teeth: "The guilty woman must ask him in person in front of him why he betrayed the country and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, regardless of the lives of his family!"

Xia Zhi smiled, "Okay. You can ask. You can leave Chang'an at any time!"

"You'd better go quickly, because..."

He turned to look at the palace, "His Majesty the Holy Ghost has boundless power and great supernatural powers. If you arrive late, the Qing army may have been destroyed and you will not be able to see the traitor Cai Ji." (End of this chapter)
