Chapter 96: The Death of the School
1,600 years ago, the Ling Dynasty was established by an unknown empress, and as a result, the empress never married in her life, had no heirs, and adopted only the girls from the predecessor of the Shenshui Palace, so the Senate was formed by internal forces such as the Hundred Schools of Thought and the family to elect the second emperor, and the Ling Dynasty became a special dynasty of "sharing the world with scholars".

The elected royal family is not comparable to the royal family, the human emperor is unprecedentedly weak, the dragon vein personality can only be the king, the Daomen even denounced it as a pseudo-emperor, and the Buddhism sect has also been centrifuged since then, and has been co-opted by the Daomen. However, the Hundred Schools of Thought began to enter the peak period, and Wensheng Wenzong emerged one after another, and they entered the court as officials one after another, and the cabinet system and the parliamentary system were also established at that time. Relying on the House that won over the family of the Gate Lords and the cabinet that gathered the top elites of Wenxiu, the Ling Dynasty weathered the difficulties and made various measures.
In order to suppress the trend of female participation in politics during the period of the empress, they began to vigorously develop the Qinglou industry and stigmatize women who showed their faces; in order to prevent future troubles, they also secretly suppressed the Shenshui Palace, the female emperor's Taoism, and extended the scope of the crackdown to all female cultivators in the middle and later periods.
Since then, the Yunlu Female Cultivator Sect has been at odds with the Hundred Schools of Thought, and in the middle of the Spirit Dynasty, the incident of one hundred and eight stars of Nuliang Mountain broke out, and the entire Ling Dynasty has been entangled with the Nuliang Mountain Women's Feud Alliance for most of the year.
After more than 1,000 years of development, the Qinglou industry has become the pillar of the Yunlu service industry, promoting the development of the entire service industry. Small talking books, drama operas, outings and tea parties, pet wine shops, Qushui Liuzhen, Keju fighting balls...... Full flowering.
In the founding era of the Heng Dynasty and the Daomen, the Heng Dynasty even spent a lot of money to ask the Tianjimen to endorse it, and came up with a set of certification standards, claiming to learn the advanced experience of the exotic magical civilization in the west - holding a certificate.
The organizers led by the school of science have sinister intentions, and the school of science is the best at dividing the hierarchy of respect and inferiority for people to obey, and the etiquette system that was originally used to motivate the people to progress was transformed into a shackle that highlights the superiority and inferiority, and the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the Yunlu people have been poisoned by them, and they have targeted the appearance level this time, and once they succeed, they will let the government promote it to the whole Yunlu as before.
At that time, they will advocate that beautiful women are worthy of talents, and they will be the right people, or they will force most women to wear black veils and turn the social atmosphere to conservative, which will be a catastrophe for women in Yunlu.
1,600 years ago, the demon and demon tribulation, which lasted for as long as 200 years, the Xuanyan realm was divided, the yin and yang order was chaotic, and the Yunlu region was rampant during this period, and even established the demon dynasty, the ghost dynasty, and the god dynasty This nondescript ruling system, at that time, the state was the country, the domain was the dynasty, and all kinds of melee.
After the empress unified Yunlu, she needed to clean up the mess again, and she worked hard to solve the ghost and demon path all her life, but because of the curse, she returned to heaven and left the Shinto to her successor.
After the death of the empress, there was no bloodline inheritance, the legitimacy of the Ling Dynasty was greatly lost, and the hundred schools of thought could only make all kinds of auspicious fortunes from heaven for the new emperor who were elected. It's a pity that the times are different, not to mention the reading class, this ancient practice can fool as many people as a problem.
After the Hundred Schools of Thought became the true rulers of the Spirit Dynasty, they faced this thorny situation, and the top elites among them saw through the appearance the real crisis after the Demon Tribulation - the original order began to collapse.
Inside, the legitimacy of the Ling Dynasty's rule was greatly lost, the imperial court military leaders seemed to be in trouble with warlords, and the allies such as Buddhism and Wuxiu were centrifuged; outside, the hundred schools of thought could not regain the right to speak, and the foreign Taoism flourished, and the Shinto obscenity was everywhere, and began to rob the faith of the people in Yunlu.
Fortunately, the imperial examination system for more than 1,000 years and the indoctrination efforts of the hundred schools of thought have created a huge group, which is similar to the official and different from the official, similar to the people and above the people, which is enough to become the support and backing.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ā
At that time, the Hundred Schools of Thought had not discarded the concept of the sages, and although the vigorous contention in the early years was not there, it was still on the rise, and its interior was still a pattern of a hundred flowers blooming.
Surrounded by wolves and a sinister environment of heretics, they burst out with astonishing courage, first integrating the Hundred Schools of Thought from the loose situation of the past into a close group led by Confucianism, and then began to improve internally.
At that time, the leader of the Hundred Schools of Thought believed that there were defects in the ideological foundation of the schools, and the ideas of the sages were no longer enough for them to turn the situation around, and they must abandon those outdated concepts and reinterpret them. They first start with people's minds, thoughts, and beliefs, because that is what they think is a defect, and that defect is occupied by various "heretics" such as Buddhism, spirituality, and Taoism, and must be regained!
The Hundred Schools of Thought itself is a group of various theories and views, they can perfectly solve the balanced relationship between all aspects of the humanitarian system, its ideological system is biased towards pragmatism, and the heresy is religious philosophy, in the world view, outlook on life, values, the most important worldview theory is better than the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Those masters thought that if they wanted to defeat them, they had to learn from them, so the most religious school of Confucianism in the hundred schools of thought was regarded as a new direction.
The government and the school devoted all their resources to its development, so that the abstract "reason" became the origin of all things, and became the supreme being, which could fight against the heretical and equally supreme god.
Under the stimulus of "reason", the power of literature and Taoism can exert a greater power than before, and the hundred schools of thought have since begun to reintegrate internally, regain the lost territory of thought externally, and reconstruct order.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ā
Countless Wen Xiu took the salvation of the world as their own responsibility with full enthusiasm and threw themselves into the torrent of the battle for Taoism.
The Hundred Schools of Thought eventually won the war, and they eliminated the wolves and dragons that were entrenched in Yunlu, and Yunlu once again became a happy land. After winning the war, the confidence of the Hundred Schools of Thought increased greatly, but contradictions also appeared, and some schools believed that this new path was correct, and demanded a unified mind and continued to follow with science as the leader. The other part of the school called for an end to the wartime situation, a return to the original path, and a situation in which a hundred schools of thought contended.
The contradiction between the two became more and more intense as the years went by, and finally broke out into the dispute of "cleaning up the source".
Mohist School, Merchant School, Mathematics School, Zonghengjia School, Linguistics School, Biology School, Archaeology School, Drama School, Lejia School, Painter School, Food School...... There are more than 30 schools of thought against more than 20 schools of thought, including Confucianism, Legalism, Bingjia, Medicine, Farming, and Yinyang.
The former denounced the latter as an evil way to change the flag, and the latter ridiculed the former as a closed and rigid old road.
After a hundred schools of thought infighting, they finally won with the new road, and the old schools were all out except for a few big schools with deep roots, and after Confucianism and science gained power, they could no longer tolerate the opposition of hundreds of schools, and dozens of neutral schools, such as novelists and miscellaneous schools, were all purged, and they must be based on reason, take reason as the foundation, and advance and retreat together.
In order to unify their beliefs, they have even set up the Truth Society, which is to carry out spy supervision internally and to embrace all rivers externally.
The policies of the Taizu of the Qian's Dynasty and the sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought were discarded, such as never seeking hegemony, never expanding, and peaceful coexistence. Starting with Wensheng's "admonishment to welcome the Buddha's bones", the hundred schools of thought that shrank but increased in strength began to dominate the road, and they defeated and recovered various strong enemies along the way, and even the super power of Buddhism was also split, and even the ancient overlord of Daomen had to temporarily avoid its front. As a result, the vacant positions among the hundred schools were replaced by new schools such as Buddhism, Taoism, Zhiwei, and astrology, and the hundred schools finally reached their peak during the Ling Dynasty.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ā
In order to make themselves stronger and more able to take on the responsibility of defending the Yunlu civilization, the Hundred Schools of Thought learned the advantages of the theory of Taoism, Buddhism, gods and demons, and launched an ideological system centered on "reason", which can explain the origin of heaven and earth, can instill the three views to the people, can carry forward the doctrine of better than the sages, and can open the foundation of the peaceful and prosperous world. However, they did not realize that as they became more and more powerful, they eventually became more and more like the enemies they had eliminated!
The Taizu of the Qianzhou Dynasty and the sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought inherited the concept of "Demons Outside the Heavens", and the Hundred Schools of Thought established to break the enslavement of the immortals have degenerated. They have achieved the pinnacle of the Spirit Dynasty, but they have also begun to sink into nihilistic religious speculation, empty talk about their hearts, and sell their fame. The spirit of practical use was abandoned, and the humanistic concept began to transform into religion.
They continued to build shrines and temples and preach the way of saints. The doctrines of the schools that could have been discussed became the Bible. The sages of the school, which originally represented mortals, gradually became gods. In the future, once it is completely religious and freed from the limitation of mortal lifespan, the heroes of the past may truly become powerful dragons.
