Listening to Wang Li's sentence, Chong Xuan suddenly felt bad in his heart, how did he say that sentence just now? At the same time, the heart of the king is very powerful, and here today, whether it is from martial arts or words, this head is actually beating him.
This feeling only made him feel as if he had returned to the Tai Chi sword achievements decades ago, but when he encountered the clear wind of Huashan, it made him feel a sense of fear in his heart for a while.
"The boss just said hello, but it was only limited to answering the two doubts that promised the boss, and it must be an old man." Chong Xuan was secretly vigilant in his heart, and when he was about to die, he only answered two, and he had to know the truth.
"Dao Changguo is a believer, Wang Li's first doubt, my dynasty Taizu started from the rivers and lakes, when I know that the rivers and lakes are really a corner of the country, if a court does not handle the affairs of the rivers and lakes well, then the rivers and mountains must be unstable."
"With my understanding of Taizu, in order for future generations to be able to sit firmly in the country, in order to clean up the troubles, I don't know how many people he killed.
"But more than 160 years later, why the court and the rivers and lakes are in such a pattern, this question, most of the heads of other sects can't answer."
"But I think that when Chengzu sent 300,000 people to spend seven years to overhaul Wudang, it was not for nothing, just look at it, the relationship between Wudang and the imperial court is extraordinary."
"So, this question will definitely be answered by the Taoist Chief." After Wang Li finished speaking, his eyes looked at Chong Xu, and Chong Xu, who only looked at it, had a look of embarrassment on his face, and then showed a wry smile.
Chong Xu's face smiled wryly. I don't seem to know how to answer. Wang Li said again: "My other question. Even if the relationship between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes is now ignored, it is absolutely unreasonable, and if it will not be ignored, then there must be other ways of management. ”
"Therefore, I once had an assumption, that is, there must be a force in the rivers and lakes that acts as a court to restrain the rivers and lakes, and this force will not be the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect can know that it has nothing to do with the imperial court just by listening to the name, but it is a taboo that does not avoid the sun and the moon."
"And the previous head of the family left me alone and had nothing to do with the court. Individuals are a kind of self-respecting, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not convinced, but there is no strength, if there is strength, I am afraid that the court will dare to overturn and sit down, this kind of people, will definitely not be the hands of the court in the rivers and lakes. ”
"It is impossible for the Wuyue Sword Sect Alliance, Zuo Lengchan has been mad for nearly twenty years. Slaughtering villages and destroying towns, such things. Although it is not as good as killing officials and rebelling, it is too much, and the court will never tolerate it. ”
"In this way, there are only Wudang and Shaolin in the entire rivers and lakes, Wudang and Shaolin are the only remaining first-class factions in the rivers and lakes, and many things have a great relationship with the imperial court, and the overhaul of Wudang during the Chengzu period is just one of them."
"Based on this inference, I found one more thing, that is, from the Chengzu period nearly 120 years ago to the present, the general pattern of the entire rivers and lakes has basically not changed much."
"The two forces of the Demon Sect and the Orthodox Sect are actually the three main forces of the rivers and lakes, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the Shaolin Wudang, these three forces are the strengths, of which the three forces are the strongest, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is the strongest, the Shaolin Wudang is second, and the Wuyue Sword Sect is again."
"And the confrontation between the Demon Sect and the Orthodox Sect is more of a confrontation between the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect, Shaolin Wudang is not enthusiastic about strangling the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and only when the Wuyue Sword Sect is not able to catch it, it will come out to support one or two, so that the Wuyue Sword Sect will not fall."
"Otherwise, the Shaolin Wudang and Wuyue Sword Sect will unite with other sects to repeat the situation of the six major factions besieging the Ming Sect before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, with the strength of the Sun and Moon God Sect, I am afraid that it will be eradicated with one blow."
"I thought about it carefully, this pattern is actually very wonderful, that is, the rivers and lakes have maintained a balance in the struggle for a long time, and in this balance, there will not be any party that will be absolutely strong, that is to say, there will not be a behemoth like the Ming Sect that the Ming Dynasty relied on for the founding of the country."
"Second, although there are constant battles in the rivers and lakes, there is the Wuyue Sword Sect on the front line of the battle against the Sun and Moon God Sect, Wudang and Shaolin are in the background, and the battles in the rivers and lakes rarely affect Wudang and Shaolin."
"As long as the strength of the Sun Moon Divine Sect is slightly stronger, and Wudang and Shaolin add a little bit of strength after the Wuyue Sword Sect, and almost only use a small amount of strength in the sect to support it, they can beat the Sun Moon Divine Sect back."
"And the Sun and Moon Divine Sect has indeed been so powerful for a while, it is said that it dared to attack Wudang Mountain at night, and took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos of the "Taijiquan Sutra" and the true martial arts sword written by Wudang Sanfeng Patriarch, and Shaolin has also suffered this kind of loss."
"But soon, there was a big battle between the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect, at that time, the battle between my Huashan Sword Qi had not yet broken out, and there were many masters in Huashan, and the Wuyue Sword Sect was also headed by my Huashan."
"This battle happened in Huashan, that battle, the Wuyue Sword Sect suffered heavy losses, and many of the elders in charge were lost in that war, which also made many exquisite swordsmanship of each faction lost, and the Sun Moon Divine Sect suffered even greater losses, not to mention the disciples, the ten elders of the Sun Moon Divine Sect's generation were all wiped out in Huashan."
"Chongxu Dao Chief, the main forces in this battle are the Sun Moon Divine Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect, and the heavy losses are also on both sides, and Wudang and Shaolin, who are both orthodox and are the head of orthodox religion, have not lost any strength, how can there be no reason for this?"
Wang Li only looked at Chongxu as he spoke, only to see that Chongxu's eyes were wide open at this time, looking at him like a monster.
Wang Li continued: "Two doubts, the second doubt, the relationship between Wudang, Shaolin and the imperial court, these two doubts are actually one doubt, Dao Chief, please solve the doubts for Wang Li." ”
As soon as Wang Li's words stopped, there was a sudden silence in the carriage, Wang Li's eyes fell on Chongxu's junior brother and nephew, these two people seemed to hear these things for the first time, and they didn't understand it, Wang said that the mystery of this, I am afraid that the disciples of Wudang and Shaolin are not clear, and they are only in the hands of the master.
After a while, Chong Xuan sighed: "I already have a clear understanding of the master, but I didn't expect the master's insight and wisdom to be as high as this, I'm afraid it is not inferior to Yao Guangxiao more than a hundred years ago." ”
"Yao Guangxiao? Monk Daoyan? Wang Li said suspiciously, this Yao Guangxiao said that many people don't know the way, but there are more people who know the way of the monk, this person is the chief strategist next to Ming Chengzu, and he assisted Ming Chengzu to succeed and win the world.
"Yes, it is Monk Daoyan, Yao Guangxiao's name in the rivers and lakes is Monk Daoyan."
"Since the head of the king has speculated almost half of the situation in the entire rivers and lakes, and Chong Xu has also promised to solve the doubts for the master, then I will tell the head of everything, but the matter has to start from the period of the Ming Taizu."
"What the head said is right, Daming Taizu was born recklessly, and won the world from the rivers and lakes, how could he let the rivers and lakes be as in the past, he was not afraid when he was in power, but what about the future? I can't say that the rivers and lakes are about to threaten the imperial court. ”
"Therefore, after Taizu won the world, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I thought about completely putting the rivers and lakes under control, at that time, the rivers and lakes were indeed strictly controlled, and the institution of Taizu to control the rivers and lakes was the Jinyi Wei who gathered many masters in the world at that time, but decades later, Taizu died, and the next things changed."
"After the death of Taizu, Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, but the throne of Emperor Jianwen was not stable, and Emperor Jianwen and Taizu were not comparable.
"Emperor Jianwen listened to it, and really listened to the proposal of the civil official, which led to a great reduction in the strength of Jinyiwei, whether it was the imperial court part or the Jianghu part."
"This reduction has led to several very serious consequences, one is the dissatisfaction of the imperial court Jinyiwei system, and the most dissatisfied is the Jinyiwei who is responsible for managing the rivers and lakes."
"They are the most special group of people in the Jinyiwei, the greater the ability, the greater the power, the Jinyiwei is cut, and they are the ones who lose the most."
"And the reduction of their power has directly led to the fact that the imperial court can no longer control the rivers and lakes like Taizu, which is much looser than in the past, so there is also an undercurrent surging in the rivers and lakes."
"Just like the violent Qin suppressed the Six Kingdoms with harsh punishments, the rivers and lakes had been suffering from strict control for decades at that time."
"At this time, the heart of the Son of Heaven of the position of the ancestor returned to Beiping, Chengzu was surrounded by a great strategist, this person learned Buddhism and Taoism, martial arts are also unfathomable, this person is the monk Yan Yao Guangxiao."
"Yao Guangxiao told Chengzu that in the past, Taizu rose in the rivers and lakes, so if you want to seize the throne, you must pay attention to the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes have been suffering from strict control for a long time, and you can get the support of the rivers and lakes for this."
"At that time, the entire Central Plains, Huashan, Emei and Kongtong three factions gradually declined after the siege of Guangmingding, and my Wudang and Shaolin were the most prosperous in the rivers and lakes, and the bull's ears of the rivers and lakes were held, and Chengzu invited Yao Guangxiao to come over as a lobbyist, saying that he moved my Wudang and Shaolin, and then I Wudang and Shaolin went to persuade other sects."
"On the other hand, Cheng Zu may have made a heavy promise to the Jinyi Wei who had suffered huge losses in the management of the rivers and lakes at that time because of Emperor Jianwen's reduction of the Jinyi Guard, so that the two parties would start, and after the Jinyi Wei and most of the rivers and lakes were thrown into Cheng Zu, Cheng Zu officially raised troops and made it difficult."
"With the support of Jinyiwei, all the movements of Emperor Jianwen can not be concealed from the Jingnan army, with the support of the rivers and lakes, the masters of the Jingnan army of Chengzu are like clouds, so with the army to crusade against Emperor Jianwen, the army is invincible, it only took four years, Chengzu succeeded in Jingnan, entered Nanjing, officially ascended the throne and called the emperor, and the year name Yongle."
"In the year of Yongle, Chengzu learned the lesson of Emperor Jianwen's loss of the country, and he didn't want to strictly control the rivers and lakes as he did in the past, so as not to let other vassal kings in various places follow suit and fight for the strength of the rivers and lakes martial arts."
"But the rivers and lakes can't be left unrestrained, otherwise, once there is a general force in the rivers and lakes such as the Ming Sect in the past, wouldn't it be a threat to the Ming Dynasty."
"So Yao Guangxiao led the Jinyi Wei and my Wudang and Shaolin who represented the rivers and lakes at that time to consult, and after their respective compromises, the relationship between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes was preliminarily determined, and after that, everything in the rivers and lakes on the surface returned to the situation before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty."
