Regarding Cai Ningrui’s collusion with King Jin.

Although Cai Ningrui believed that no one knew about it, not many people in Jin Dynasty recognized Cai's writing.

On that day, Li Hongyi's father had an audience with King Jin, and King Jin happened to be looking for someone who knew Cai Wen well.

When Li Hongyi's father saw this, he recommended his son.

After that, Li Hongyi was not reused.

After all, King Jin didn't value Da Cai's first-rate knowledge.

At that time, Li Hongyi was shocked when he read this letter.

The content of the letter is the structure of the palace, the location of the secret passage, and the details of the Ouchi masters.

This also includes the strength of the two wizards who are hiding in the dark to protect Emperor Cai.

He also explained when Zhao Yuan will go to the palace.

It was precisely because of this letter that King Jin came up with the idea of ​​​​beheading.

Junlu alone destroyed the entire Dacai Palace and captured Emperor Cai Zhao Yuan alive.

When Cai Ningrui heard Li Hongyi's words, he suddenly seemed to have aged dozens of years.

He didn't expect that he would make a mistake in this aspect.

This is a secret that Cai Ningrui has hidden for decades. In Da Cai, he believes that no one knows about it.

Anyone who had anything to do with this matter was secretly executed by him.

But what he didn't expect was that King Jin might not necessarily think of the things he valued.

Even without Cai Ningrui's tip-off, Da Cai would have fallen under the iron heel of Jin Bing with Junlu's strength.

But now that this has happened, Cai Ningrui's collusion with Daikin has been confirmed and cannot be changed.

He sighed, looked at Zhao Yuan, and couldn't help but ask: "I remember... when you returned from the Kingdom of Jin, Hong Yi was with you, right?"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Cai Ningrui was a little confused: "If that's the case, why didn't you expose me earlier?"

Zhao Yuan just smiled slightly and said: "No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes."

"Since I can see the regret from the bottom of your heart, as well as your ambition for innovation if you can ascend the throne."

"At that time, I believed that you could fulfill your position as emperor. And your ideals are the same as mine, so why would you go find someone with a shady name after you were exposed?"

"What's more, you are only temporarily blinded by power."

Two lines of clear tears dripped from the corners of Cai Ningrui's eyes.

He couldn't help but think of the dream he had during his lunch break yesterday.

If he hadn't tipped off the information, even Junlu would have had unrivaled power.

At least Da Cai could still breathe for a few years amid the advance of the Jin Kingdom.

During this period, if Zhao Yuan could make further progress, none of these things would have happened.

Cai Ningrui stood up from the dragon chair, bent his knees and knelt down in front of Zhao Yuan. He lowered his head and fell to the ground with tears: "Yesterday, I had a dream..."

His voice was choked and he slowly told what he saw in his dream.

After hearing this, Zhao Yuan just shook his head and said: "The meaning of this dream is just that you feel guilty towards the late emperor."

Cai Ningrui choked with sobs and let out a deep laugh: "Maybe."

He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yuan in front of him.

Time seems to have never left a mark on Zhao Yuan's body. Although he still has the chains on his two arms, his eyes are also weathered.

But there is no trace of aging at all.

Cai Ningrui has no children, only three daughters.

The heirs left by the late emperor were unable to leave any descendants because they were officials of the Jin people in their early years.

The rest of the clan's men and women also died decades ago.

Today, there is no one in the royal family to inherit such a huge empire.

Cai Ningrui only felt sad.

Calculations and calculations will always come to nothing.

At this moment, he no longer had any other thoughts, he just wanted to die.

Before he died, Cai Ningrui's tone was gloomy and he no longer called himself me: "Zhao Yuan, after I die, you will be the one who reigns supreme in this world."

Zhao Yuan shook his head: "I have no interest in being an emperor."

Cai Ningrui's eyes suddenly showed a trace of disbelief: "That is the most noble in the world..."

Zhao Yuan interrupted him and said: "Noble? You are wrong!"

“The reason why the emperor is a king is that he must perform the duties of a gentleman.”

"The way of a gentleman lies in sincerity, not in supremacy."

"The reason why I didn't expose you back then was that you were able to open your heart and sincerely do things for the people."

After hearing this, Cai Ningrui did not refute, but tremblingly pulled out the sword from his waist and said:
"If that's the case, then who will you let be the emperor?"

Zhao Yuanyan said: "Destiny is impermanent, so the virtuous will naturally live there."

When Cai Ningrui heard this, he actually smiled: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Then I will watch from the ground. Who is this so-called virtuous person?"

After saying that, as he swung his sword, a line of blood spurted out from the front of his neck.

Zhao Yuan sighed and ordered people to collect Cai Ningrui's body and give it a generous burial.

What Cai Ningrui said just now was an insinuation of Zhao Yuan.

Among the virtuous people in the world, apart from him, there is no one else who can compare with him.

After all, among the people of Da Cai today, Zhao Yuan's reputation has reached its peak.

If he became emperor, I'm afraid the people would applaud him.

As for whether the marriage was in compliance with the rules, Zhao Yuan knew that now that the Cai family had no heirs, it would be difficult to recommend anyone.

The original Jin Kingdom was cruel, and anyone who had some blood relationship with the clan would be executed.

This also made it possible for even those with royal ancestry to remain anonymous.

Now that so many years have passed, who can tell whether she is the real queen of the clan.

Cai Ningrui's death sent shock waves throughout Da Cai.

After all, Cai Ningrui has worked hard for decades and has indeed accomplished many practical things.

But his mistake was that he listened to too many slanders and actually wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yuan.

Although Zhao Yuan said he was loyal to the country and the people, he was not loyal to the emperor.

It didn't matter much to him who the emperor was.

Zhao Yuan only wanted to see what he wanted.

He knew that he was not necessarily on the right path.

Before that, everything he did must conform to the awe-inspiring heart in his heart.

But as Zhao Yuan's cultivation became more and more sophisticated, he found that this awe-inspiring heart had become a tool to restrain himself.

Everything he says and does is trapped by it.

After all, with Zhao Yuan's true nature, after learning that Cai Ningrui had colluded with the Kingdom of Jin, he would definitely be hacked to death.

Instead of leaving so-called like-minded people to jointly innovate Dacai.

Judging from the knowledge in Xie Que's mind, Zhao Yuan knew that he might already have inner demons.

And this inner demon is the bondage Haoran's heart brings to him.

Forcing Cai Ningrui to death is also the first step to get rid of the shackles of inner demons.

Over the years, Zhao Yuan has figured it out.

Instead of strictly following the so-called gentleman's way, it is better to act according to your own heart.

Even if you lose your awe-inspiring heart, so what?

Zhao Yuan himself firmly believes that although his character is not in line with the saint in people's minds.

But only those who are brave, courageous, and unobtrusive can truly protect this country.

Thinking of this, the Danqing Sword in Zhao Yuan's hand also began to cheer for joy, as if it resonated with his heart.

……

In the next half year, although the position of emperor was vacant.

However, a large number of talents trained by the academy gradually flowed to various places, filling a large number of official vacancies, and there was no need for an emperor.

As the parent officials of various places, they can take care of their own territory very well.

The current prime minister is a disciple taught by Zhao Yuan himself, and he constantly cooperates with the supervisor.

The world gradually becomes clearer.

In a daze, Zhao Yuan also felt that it would be better for the emperor's position to be discarded.

But when he put forward this suggestion, everyone, including Li Hongyi, objected.

Being the same country, what they need is not a lofty emperor.

But a backbone.

After Zhao Yuan heard this, he discussed it with several great scholars in the academy.

Determined to support Cai Ningrui's daughter to ascend the throne.

This is the most important event in the creation of the world, although there have been records of female emperors in history books before.

But this is the first time that he has been supported by others.

At this time, the empress was in her 30s, a disciple of the Academy, and had three sons.

After Cai Ningrui's death, Zhao Yuan still chose to preserve his reputation, saying only that there was an assassin who has been brought to justice.

Since the empress has been in the academy for seven years, she may be able to manage a county with ease.

But it is still too difficult to govern a country.

A few months before she ascended the throne, she saw that Li Hongyi seemed extremely relaxed reviewing memorials.

But when it came to herself, every problem gave her a headache, and she could only keep asking the teacher for help.

This went on for several years.

But Zhao Yuan's inner demons have become more and more serious.His original intention and Haoran's heart had already divided into two camps within his body.

For one thing, two thoughts will occur at the same time.

But now, Zhao Yuan's strength is far beyond that of the average True Lord Yangshen.

What frightens him the most is that he will destroy Da Cai if he loses control.

So, in order to control himself, Zhao Yuan re-forged the iron rope and restricted himself to an isolated island in the sea to resist his inner demons.

Time keeps passing.

After Zhao Yuan left Da Cai, Da Cai still operated as before.

However, with the rise of the countries outside the country and the return of Junlu, the two sides once again launched a shocking war.

Li Hongyi and He Mingtao exchanged their lives for lives, and left Junlu on the battlefield forever with their awe-inspiring righteousness.

And the two of them were also short-lived.

Li Hongyi suddenly remembered that Zhao Yuan had said it before.

When I come back again, what I want to see is an open Da Tsai.

As a result, he let go of the invasion of foreign beliefs.

Many Buddhists from outside the customs began to flock to Dacai.

Within a few decades, Buddhist faith quickly took root in the land of Dacai.

Even the world of Confucianism, which was once unparalleled in glory, has dimmed with the emergence of the high-end combat power of Buddhism.

Decades later, Li Hongyi and Li Hongyi could no longer bear the injuries in their bodies and passed away.

After the emperor buried the two of them, he finally took back the power that truly belonged to the emperor for the first time in a long time.

What he wants to do is very simple, that is, to destroy Confucianism and promote Buddhism.

It is precisely because of this that Da Cai started to act internally.

Within ten years, it had been divided into several regions.

At this time, Zhao Yuan is still trapped on an isolated island overseas.

With his true heart, he constantly resisted the shackles brought by the awe-inspiring heart in his body.

Zhao Yuan had not eaten or drank for decades, and had been exposed to wind and sun, so that Zhao Yuan had become like a withered bone, and no human shape could be seen.

Over the years, Da Cai has become more and more turbulent.

This was a result that Zhao Yuan had already anticipated.

After all, Da Cai Guozuo was born not long ago, and it was his emergence that lasted Da Cai for these years.

God loves the people outside the country, and strong men in the four realms emerge one after another, and there is even a strong man like Junlu.

As for Da Cai, who lacks spiritual energy, it is difficult to find even a real person who has entered Taoism.

Opening up Buddhism to the customs is something Zhao Yuan has already thought about.

Because only after entering the Buddhist sect can we communicate with the gods and Buddhas, bestow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and change the fundamental reason why people in this land are only bullied.

Escaping from the hallucination, Zhao Yuan took a few breaths and looked into the far distance.

From the depths of the sea, a black spot seemed to be gradually approaching.

Wait until the black spot is closer.

Zhao Yuan just saw clearly that it was a black and white orca, a dragon, and a young monk.

He couldn't help being stunned.

This scene is almost exactly the same as the one in my memory.

The young monk pointed to where Zhao Yuan was and said, "Brother, look at this man."

The orca raised its head slightly, feeling that there was terrifying power hidden in its bone-like body.

The three of them did not dare to stay for a long time, so they followed Jiaolong's words: "Senior, please excuse me."

Then he walked away.

Zhao Yuan also began to feel filled with emotion in his heart.

Da Cai... Da Cai... Isn't this the country in Xie Que's mind from a thousand years ago?

I... actually got a memory from a thousand years later.

He took a deep breath, braced himself and began to tear off the cold iron chains he had forged.

It took several decades for Zhao Yuanfang to break free from this chain.

After so many years of restraint, he was almost able to ignore the negative effects of Haoran's heart on him.

Due to Da Cai's folk worship of Zhao Yuan, a prototype of divinity has also been produced in his body.

He knew that he was already standing in front of the threshold of the Sixth Realm Venerable.

But before that, it was the memories in his mind that confused him the most.

If I were a person from Xie Que's era thousands of years ago, how could I be unknown?

Not even the wheel is aware of its existence.

With such doubts, he set foot on the earth again.

At this time, the turmoil in Da Cai had come to an end.

The Shuiyue Chanyuan established by Feng Zidu also established his dominance.

After Zen Master Shuiyue helped Taizu of Zhou to unify the country, the two made a decision.

Burning books and trapping Confucians.

All the classics and books about Confucianism and Haoran's righteousness were killed and burned.

Zhao Yuan did not stop him, but watched quietly.

This is the trajectory of history. He knows that even if he makes some moves, his final destination will not change.

Countless monks broke into major academies to study or the mansions of wealthy people.

Almost all the records and scriptures left over from the Da Cai era were burned.

Everyone related to the Confucian world was also trapped and killed.

After Zhao Yuan witnessed the whole process, he just sighed.

He can feel it if he takes action.

In his own mind, the memory of Xie Que will disappear.

Today, he is just a lonely ghost drifting in the long river of time.

It's just a pity...

A few years after Zhao Yuan saw the completion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he no longer cared about these worldly affairs.

He headed west, hoping to find an uncivilized world where he could teach what he had learned.

It took more than 20 years for Zhao Yuanfang to see a mountain forest controlled by evil gods.

During this period, there were no written records, only oral transmission.

And the gods in their mouths are everything to the tribe.

Zhao Yuan knew that tribes like this usually make involuntary choices only when evil gods are in a state of belief poisoning.

He is also completely able to ignore the threats brought to him by such evil gods.

After casually showing his strength, Zhao Yuan easily took over the tribe.

Zhao Yuan seemed rude among the various tribes.

He doesn't rhyme when he reads poetry, and he doesn't show mercy when he fights.

The surrounding tribes were unified by Zhao Yuan in an extremely fast time.

With Zhao Yuan taking over, he also began to re-create a civilization.

From eating hair and drinking blood to the most basic farming and animal husbandry.

Even the most basic writing, language, clothing, food, housing and transportation, as well as the change of the country's political system, Zhao Yuan completed in 200 years.

After many tribes completed this series of baptisms, they wanted to respect Zhao Yuan as the most noble person in this country.

This time, Zhao Yuan did not refuse, but chose to accept and became the emperor of this primitive country.

But he didn't tell his real name, he just called himself "Confucian".

Therefore, in this country, "Emperor Confucianism" is the honorific title given to him by people from various tribes.

Because of their respect, the leaders of various tribes also respected Zhao Yuan as the "Supreme Emperor and Confucianism".

It means that all dragons bow their heads and are respected by all directions as the emperor of Confucianism and Taoism.

And Zhao Yuan gradually accepted such a title.

Zhao Yuan then expelled the worshipers of gods in the tribe, destroyed the temple, and established Jixia Academy.

In the academy, Zhao Yuan passed down his Confucian practice methods and personally taught them to talented young people.

In this country called "Confucianism", Jixia Academy is the most important position in the entire country.

This is also the place where Zhao Yuan taught them "Song of Righteousness".

During the hundreds of years of peace and contentment, folk belief in the Confucian Emperor became more and more popular.

Based on this, Zhao Yuan broke through the six realms in one fell swoop.

But what puzzled him was that he actually suffered that calamity without the other six realms.

That is cognitive impairment.

He couldn't understand it, and in the end it could only be attributed to the fact that the system he practiced was different from other paths.

After summarizing, Zhao Yuan divided his Haoran heart into several stages.

The first stage is to cultivate the mind, which corresponds to the four realms.

The second stage is mind selection, which corresponds to the five realms.

The last stage is Zhao Yuan's current state, called the mind of freedom, which corresponds to the six realms of venerables.

Another hundred years have passed since the Spring and Autumn Period, and everyone in the Confucian Kingdom, whether civilians or Confucian cultivators, respected Zhao Yuan.

Among the practitioners, some even worship Zhao Yuan as the Great Confucian God.

But Zhao Yuan knew that since he had civilized this country and accomplished his goal, it was time for him to leave.

And the doubts that have haunted him for many years will finally be answered. (End of chapter)
