Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Among them was a fool who did not believe in evil and expressed his persistence in resisting, but this person's head was quickly brought to Zhao Kuangyin by the monks.

With such an astonishing speed, it quickly spread throughout the world.

All the forces were surprised by the combat effectiveness of the Song army.

No matter how vulnerable it is, it is still a country.

Even including the time to prepare the army, Zhao Kuangyin only spent two months to solve a country.

This speed is really too amazing!

Now not only the forces in the south could not sit still, but even the Khitan people in the north began to feel a little hot.

With such a violent neighbor, who can have a peaceful sleep?
When Zhao Kuangyin unifies the south, who is the next target? Needless to say?

The Khitan people were very afraid of this. They were afraid that a powerful unified regime would appear again in the Central Plains.

The reason is also very simple. Most of the Khitan's current territory once belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

If a strong and powerful unified regime ruled by the Han people appears again in the Central Plains, it is self-evident what the first thing they will do.

Don’t the Han people want to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty? Doesn't the emperor of the Central Plains want to become the Khan of Heaven again?
Some among the Khitan people have begun to worry about the threat from the Song Dynasty.

But at this time, the Khitan emperor did not care much about this, and even did not take the Song people to heart at all.

Even in the first two years and later Zhou even intended to take over the sixteen states of Yanyun in one go.

Chai Rong was still in power at that time, but it was a pity that he died young and lost his life early.

If he persists for a few more years, or if Qin Tian can come out of seclusion earlier, then Qin Tian will definitely choose Chai Rong instead of Zhao Kuangyin.

Because no matter from which angle you look at it, Chai Rong is no worse than Zhao Kuangyin, and is even said to be much better than Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin could not win the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun in his lifetime, but Chai Rong only almost did it.

It's a pity that God's fate caused him to die young, at the age of only thirty-nine.

It was precisely because Chai Rong died, leaving orphans and widowers, that gave Zhao Kuangyin the opportunity to usurp the throne.

As soon as Chai Rong died, Liao Muzong was completely relieved.

In his opinion, Zhao Kuangyin and the Song Dynasty are just a bunch of drunkards and rice sacks.

Now that Chai Rong is dead, is there anyone who can fight him?

Mu Zong of the Liao Dynasty was a cruel and unkind man. If he had any merit, it would be that he was not close to women.

But as an emperor, this is actually a shortcoming.

Because he was not close to women, he had been the emperor for more than ten years and did not even have a child.

In addition to this, this person drinks and has fun all day long. He drinks until midnight every day and only wakes up at noon the next day.

In order to ridicule and express dissatisfaction with Yelu Shulu, also known as Muzong of Liao Dynasty, people at the time often called him the Sleeping King.

In addition to drinking and having fun, this person also likes to kill people.

I like it so much that I have to kill someone with my own hands every day.

In addition to killing, his other major hobby is hunting. Sometimes when he gets excited about hunting, he can ignore government affairs for a month.

The ministers couldn't even find him.

Yelu Shulu's behavior fully proved that a country can operate stably even without an emperor.

If Zhao Kuangyin had started from the north from the beginning, the situation he would have faced might have been different.

But at this time, the Song Dynasty had been dragged into the quagmire of war by the southern countries, and naturally it would not dare to start another war easily in a short time.

If the two fronts fight at the same time, then the only path waiting for the Song Kingdom is collapse.

But in fact, judging from the situation faced by Zhao Kuangyin, no matter where he started the expedition, the results were very different.

Because judging from the situation at the time, the opponents Zhao Kuangyin faced were all of similar strength, and the south was indeed easier to attack than the north.

The benefits of beating it down are also greater.

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect that after the Liao Kingdom coup and the replacement of a capable emperor, his idea of ​​regaining the sixteen states of Yanyun was completely shattered.

However, Yelu Shulu was still in power at this time and still did not think about government affairs. However, the progress of the Song Dynasty in unifying the south was much faster than in the original history.

How things will develop and change in the future remains to be seen.

The concerns of the internal ministers of the Liao State did not affect Yelu Shulu at all. If the national strength did not allow it, he would even want to take the initiative to launch a war against the Song State.

It's a pity that the previous battles consumed too much of the country's power, and he himself ignored the government affairs. The country has not accumulated strength over the years, and it is a blessing not to go backwards.

Although the situation was already very difficult, it still did not affect Yelu Shulu's drinking, hunting and killing.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was far away in Kaifeng, was not interested in the storm brewing within the Liao Kingdom.

He needs to seize the time to digest the results of the previous war, restore national strength, and prepare for the next conquest.

Although the Southern Tang Dynasty expressed its surrender, Zhao Kuangyin had always been wary of Li Yu and was not completely reassured.

But since others had surrendered, it was unreasonable to take action rashly, so he planned to completely pacify other places before considering the issue of Southern Tang.

When Zhao Kuangyin frees up his hands and wants to deal with a mere leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, isn't it easy to capture him?
The master and the servant each had their own agendas, and the situation became strangely stable.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't take any action, but the little fox had a lot of time to spare.

For some unknown reason, the little fox actually took the initiative to say that he could deal with Li Yu.

Zhao Kuangyin naturally wanted this.

It's hard to say how much you trust the little fox, even if she is from Qin Tian.

Even people from Qin Tian may not be of the same mind as Zhao Kuangyin.

Which emperor wants to have a group of people under his command who are completely beyond his control?
But it is impossible to say that he is not affected by the little fox at all.

Because the little fox was the first one to express her surrender, she signed a certificate of surrender, not to mention that she can be said to be the most powerful practitioner in the world today.

In order to maintain domestic stability, the relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and Little Fox must not be too bad.

But from another perspective, the little fox also wants to gain enough voice among the new generation of practitioners, which forms a complete competitive relationship with Zhao Kuangyin.

Therefore, the two are both close partners and competitors.

Zhao Kuangyin was young and powerful, but he had worries early on.

He very much hoped that he could practice cultivation so that he would not have to worry about what would happen after his death.

Zhao Kuangyin had tested Qin Tian's tone several times before, but whether he didn't pay attention or didn't care at all, Qin Tian never gave a definite answer.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear it anymore this time.

……

"So you have laid so much groundwork for this problem, right?" Qin Tian said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Kuangyin looked a little scared.

When he came to look for Qin Tian this time, he chatted here and there for a long time, and finally led the topic to the direction he wanted.

But Qin Tian saw through Zhao Kuangyin's mind early on, so he directly pointed it out. "So, can I..."

In fact, Qin Tian is also considering how to handle the relationship between practitioners and mortal politics.

It is simply impossible to completely prevent practitioners from participating in political and mortal affairs.

In the future, Qin Tian will gradually open up the cultivation method to the whole world. In Qin Tian's vision, a large number of people will definitely embark on the path of cultivation in the future.

Should all monks be excluded from the ranks of officials?
If we really want to do this, are monks allowed to participate in mortal wars?
If it is not allowed, then what is the meaning of the existence of monks? If it is allowed, then why should the monks participate in mortal wars? Isn’t it just for fame and fortune?

Is it okay to let people go to the battlefield and not give them any benefits?

So Qin Tian fell into a dilemma.

Because once the door is opened, it is foreseeable that the update speed of court officials will become slower and slower.

Not all officials in the future court may have the talent for cultivation, but all officials in the future court must be different from ordinary people.

It's a very simple truth. After reaching a certain level of status, wealth and rare treasures will naturally follow.

Therefore, even if they do not have the talents of monks, relying on their status, they can still easily obtain resources and treasures that are difficult for mortals to achieve.

Prolonging life is only a trivial matter, but rejuvenation is not necessarily impossible.

Once the rights and resources are controlled by a few people, these people will spontaneously block the channels for the lower class to rise.

Although Qin Tian is willing to open up practice to everyone so that he can be promoted faster, he also has the idea of ​​benefiting the world.

He did not want to see a lifeless world appear, like a pool of stagnant water.

He saw no hope in such a world, and he would not allow such a situation to occur.

So Qin Tian is also thinking about how to deal with this situation.

Seeing Qin Tian's silence, Zhao Kuangyin didn't know whether he said something wrong or did something wrong.

At this time, he was watching his nose and heart without saying a word, quietly waiting for Qin Tian to say something.

Qin Tian thought for a moment and decided to leave the problem back to Zhao Kuangyin to solve it himself.

"What do you think?"

"What?" Zhao Kuangyin was a little stunned and couldn't understand what Qin Tian meant for a while.

"You know, once this hole is opened, it will never be closed again."

Qin Tian looked at Zhao Kuangyin: "Have you ever thought about what will happen in the future?"

"What?"

"Suppose there is an emperor in the future and he has two children. The eldest son is very good at governing the country, but not good at cultivation, and is even just a mortal."

"Although the other one does not have the talent to govern the country, his cultivation level is extremely high."

"For the sake of the country, the emperor originally planned to make his eldest son the crown prince, but the younger son refused. Who do you think will be the emperor in the end?"

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Qin Tian, ​​as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to speak.

"If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while: "In my opinion, the eldest son should ascend to the throne."

Qin Tian's eyes moved slightly: "Why?"

"Unless the younger son is the best in the world and no one can control him, the prince has a better chance of winning."

"But if he is really number one in the world, why not let him be the emperor?"

"With him here, can this country still be in chaos?"

"Why?" Qin Tian became interested.

"Because politics does not mean whoever has the bigger fist will definitely win."

The political competition is not about whose power is stronger, but who is more powerful? So what if you are a monk?
Being as powerful as Qin Tian, ​​doesn't he need to cooperate with Zhao Kuangyin if he wants to achieve his goals?

Of course, if Qin Tian wanted to, he could force everyone to act according to his ideas.

But besides himself, who can be as strong as Qin Tian, ​​is there another person in the world?

Since it cannot be the best in the world, it will definitely be constrained by various factors.

Monks are also human beings and cannot do without the support of the secular world. In this case, there are ways to deal with monks.

Sometimes killing someone may not require a knife at all.

It's not that Qin Tian's considerations are wrong, it's just that Qin Tian started from the perspective of a monk, while Zhao Kuangyin started from the perspective of a mortal.

In the time of monks, big fists were the last word, and there were no other factors.

But people as powerful as Qin Tian cannot be said to be rare in the world. It can only be said that they are unique except for Qin Tian.

Even if you are a little fox, don't you need to form your own power, or even rely on others to protect yourself?
The two people stand from different angles, and the conclusions they draw are naturally different.

There is no need to deny that monks will definitely have a great impact on the political and economic life of mortals.

Even the layout of the court will undergo huge changes due to the appearance of the monks.

But monks also come from the practice of mortals. The two are one, not opposites.

Therefore, Qin Tian's worry does have some truth, but he is just a little over-considered.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized: "I understand, the villain, what the immortal is worried about are the problems caused by the process of change, right?"

Qin Tian told Zhao Kuangyin his thoughts from the beginning. He wanted everyone in the world to be able to practice, and everyone was like a dragon, without hiding anything.

In the future, everyone will be a monk, so there will be no problem.

But from now to the future, I don’t know how much time it will take.

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, Qin Tian already understood what he wanted to express.

The pain caused by reform is inevitable, and there is no need to worry or avoid it.

When problems arise, solve them and the world will always find a way out.

As long as he continues to practice spiritual practice and his school continues to operate, the world will not be a stagnant water.

After figuring this out, Qin Tian suddenly felt relieved.

While Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, Qin Tian's body actually blossomed with lotus flowers.

The lotus kept blooming and closing, and finally formed a bud, wrapping Qin Tian.

"This……"

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't make any sound.

Turning his head to look, Zhao Kuangyin saw Muchun appearing behind him for unknown reasons. He gently raised his index finger at him and made a shushing gesture.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what was going on, but Muchun knew that the master had entered a state of enlightenment.

Every time Qin Tian has an epiphany, all kinds of strange phenomena will appear around him! (End of chapter)
