Chapter 164: The Emperor's Rule is Great to Zhongzheng
Emperor Wen of Sui was the emperor of the lower realm who was enshrined by the Great Tianzun when the survival of the Han people was in danger and when the faith was about to be broken.
Emperor Wen of Sui has all the potential of a sage and a wise man, knowing people and being good at their duties, pioneering and innovative, diligent and loving the people, lenient and meager and so on.
The last time he went to Liyan Villa, Xuanyuan Jingtian knew that he was one of the emperors of the world, so he secretly blessed Emperor Wen of Sui with a talisman.
It turned out that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Da Tianzun selected several human emperors at the same time.
Emperor Wen of Sui, as the emperor of heaven, was lucky, and at the same time, Xuanyuan secretly helped him, and for a while, he was politically harmonious and gradually entered the situation of great unification.
On the political front, Emperor Wen of Sui made drastic reforms. On the one hand, we should lead by example and be frugal, and on the other hand, we should reform and innovate to consolidate our political power. Xuanyuan Jingtian warned Emperor Wen of Sui, "Since ancient times, emperors have not had good luxury and can grow old for a long time." Emperor Wen of Sui was convinced, so from the beginning of his reign, he advocated frugal life, did not build large buildings, did not build pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and bridges, did not wear fine clothes and food, advocated coarse tea and light rice, and advocated a simple life. Once, Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to use a collar made of Hu flour and weaving, but he searched all over the palace and couldn't find it. Practicing frugality and lightly reducing the burden on the people will be conducive to the implementation of various measures. Examination and appointment of officials are not limited, and meritocracy is the only move. He once sent people to inspect 52 prefectures in Hebei, dismissed more than 200 corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and eliminated about three-tenths of the redundant personnel in the localities. Lenient criminal law, delete the torture of the previous generation, formulate Sui law, and simplify the criminal law, "replace the heavy with the light, and turn death into life".
In terms of economy, following the Northern Wei Dynasty's uniform land system, the law of uniform land was promulgated, and both men and women had land, Dingding men divided 80 acres of land, Yongye field 20 acres, and women were exposed 40 acres. He also exempted and exempted the levy, lightly paid the fee, and rested with the people. If the age is changed to 21 years old, Shoutian will still be 18 years old, and his service will be three years less. It was also changed to 30 days of service for each year to 20 days, and the silk horse (four zhang) was reduced to two zhang, etc. In addition, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the re-compilation of household registration, with five families as guarantees, five guarantees as Lu, and four Lu as clans. At the beginning of the emperor's reign, there were more than 3.6 million households, 500,000 in Pingchen, and later increased to 8.7 million. In order to accumulate grain to prevent hunger, the Sui Dynasty set up warehouses in Guangzhou, and divided them into official warehouses and righteous warehouses. The official warehouse is used for grain transfer and storage, and the righteous warehouse is prepared for relief. Emperor Wen attached great importance to the construction of people's livelihood and built a new capital Daxing City in the southeast of the original Chang'an City; Daxing water conservancy, digging a canal, from Daxing to Tongguan to divert Weishui, in order to facilitate the transportation of the eastern part of the country.
In terms of academic culture, Emperor Wen of Sui vigorously advocated culture and education, and sought books. In view of the long-term war and chaos of the previous generation, the official books were scattered, so he issued an edict to ask for the book of the world, and every book was sacrificed. After one or two years, the books were prepared, and after sorting, more than 30,000 volumes were obtained. In order to broaden the number of talents, the Sui Dynasty abolished the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and began to use the method of subject-specific examinations to select officials, which also promoted the development of education and literature. In order to educate the whole country and restore the orthodoxy of Chinese culture, an edict was issued to formulate ritual music to improve the cultural quality of the country.
In terms of military affairs, in view of the late Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Turks used their strong military power to invade the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi from time to time. Therefore, after the establishment of the Sui state, Emperor Wen of Sui sent troops to attack the Turks, and later adopted the strategy of divisiveness, prompting the Turks to be divided into the east and the west, and they were at war with each other, and the Sui was able to eliminate the worries of the north.
It is precisely because of the implementation of the above measures that during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui for more than 20 years, the politics were relatively clear, the population increased significantly, the treasury was more substantial, the external troubles were less, and the society showed a prosperous scene, which was known as the "rule of the emperor" in history, and the period was the heyday of the Sui Dynasty.
In Xuanyuan Jingtian's view, the dispute between the human race is still the dispute of the divine domain in the final analysis.
Each race was created by the main gods of each god's domain. The god that all races worship is the Creator. And human faith is one of the sources of power in the divine domain. As a result, the creators of the various divine realms attached great importance to human beliefs.
And the war of the various races is the war of the gods. The war refers to the relocation of the temple and the expansion of the god's domain.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was the darkest time for the Han people, and they even almost perished. Above the realm of the gods, faith was extinct, and many gods who lost their incense fell off the altar and fell into reincarnation. The Heavenly Court was weak, and the Great Heavenly Venerable was distressed, so he had to send Emperor Donghua and other immortals to the lower realm to secretly cultivate human cultivators, and sometimes he personally separated into the lower realm to guide the belief in the human world in order to preserve the divine domain. Emperor Donghua asked the dream to instruct the monk Han Zhongli. Han Zhongli practiced diligently, soared into an immortal, and left the Donghua Gate of Taoism in the world, guiding the trend of faith in the world.
In fact, among the ministers who assisted Emperor Wen of Sui were the heavenly court immortal clones. Xuanyuan Jingtian guessed that Gao Gong was the doppelganger of Emperor Donghua, Han Baohu was the doppelganger of Wuqu Xingjun, and Li Yuan was another human emperor, but he had not yet grown up. Of course, it was just Xuanyuan Jingtian's speculation. Xuanyuan Jingtian had never been to the Heavenly Realm, and had only seen some immortals in some temples.
The immortal doppelganger is an immortal, but not the deity. The immortal clone of the nether has a mission, but after completion, he will naturally die and will not return to heaven.
Xuanyuan Jingtian is the master of creation, with the achievements of the creator, although he is not a celestial immortal, but he belongs to one of the ancestors of China. Although Xuanyuan Jingtian did not participate in the battle of the Divine Domain, he still hoped to maintain the inheritance of the Chinese nation and preserve the national race.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Jingtian did not want to watch the Heavenly Tribulation destroy all the gods.
Now the main gods of the divine domain all know that the heavenly catastrophe is coming, and they are all in fear, and they know that the world has always been a place of hope, so everyone hopes to find a solution in the world.
As a result, the human situation is also very complicated. On the one hand, the rise of the various gate valve forces. On the other hand, the foreign race is eyeing the enemy.
Moreover, each god cultivates its own agents in the human world. Each divine domain instructs agents to develop and grow in the human world through oracles or various magical powers of Buddha revelation or dreams, and then seize the divine domain through war or chaos.
What are Liyan and the Eight Realms doing? The two of them concentrated on absorbing the Xuanqi Beads and improving their cultivation day and night. As far as Li Yan is concerned, it is purely a matter of re-cultivation, and when the time comes, the magic power will come naturally. After absorbing the five Xuan Zhu beads, he will be a master of the Wind Realm.
The Eight Realms are not bad, and after absorbing the seven Xuan Zhu beads, the Xuan Xuan is also completed.
It's just that on the day of the Eight Realms Xuanqi Dacheng, the process was extremely difficult.
At the beginning, it was the Wind Blade and the Rain Sword, although it was protected by Xuanyuan Jingtian's full strength, but it was still injured, and there were more than a dozen wounds all over the body.
Next is the Thunder Tribulation. It's similar to the thunder tribulation of other monks, but it's much thicker. Liyan helped it draw a lot of paintings as prisons, but it was still useless. These dungeons can't stop the thunderstorm, and they can't conduct electricity underground. It turned out that the mana supernatural power cultivated in this life did not have the attribute of thunder and lightning, or the heart of the fire god had not yet been integrated into the power of thunder and lightning, so drawing the ground as a prison could not conduct electricity.
As a result, the Eight Realms were stimulated by the heavenly thunder and screamed.
Xuanyuan Jingtian suddenly spoke: "Everything is like a dream, and the law is like a dream, ......"
As soon as the Eight Realms heard this, they immediately meditated and used the five aggregates of emptiness. Then the Eight Realms were like enlightened monks, their bodies exuding holy golden light, and the wounds on their bodies healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Golden Arhat", someone drank in the vicinity.
Xuanyuan Jingtian's expression was relieved, he smiled slightly, and said "Okay" in a loud voice.
Next, the Eight Realms began to transform, from a pig to a pot-bellied person.
The square head of the Eight Realms is big-eared, slightly fat, eight feet tall, with well-developed limbs, a swastika mark on the forehead, and the whole body exudes Buddha nature.
I saw that after the Eight Realms Xuanqi was completed, he folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name loudly.
It seems that the Five Aggregates Empty Zen taught by Xuanyuan Jingtian is a genuine Buddhist practice method.
Xuanyuan Jingtian himself has also practiced this method, so he can also go to the Buddha country to see it in the future.
Each divine realm is connected to different gods due to different cultivation methods, for example, if you cultivate the light spell, you can only go to the Bright Divine Kingdom, and if you cultivate the Five Aggregates Empty Zen in the Eight Realms, you can only go to the Buddha Kingdom.
Seeing the success of the Eight Realms, Xuanyuan Jingtian was very happy. Liyan was also very happy, because the Eight Realms were his friends.
The Guardian Daoist is also happy for the Eight Realms.
However, at this time, the accident suddenly happened. A large number of extraterritorial heavenly demons came from the void.
Seeing this, he offered the heart of the god of fire. The Daode Tianzun transformed by the heart of the fire god is the nemesis of the heavenly demons, directly devouring the heavenly demons, devouring as many as there are. Seeing this, the Heavenly Demons retreated like a tide, and after a while, they disappeared without a trace.
Xuanyuan Jingtian was very curious, and was about to step forward to ask, only to see Liyan faint on the ground, it turned out that his divine sense was exhausted.
Xuanyuan Jingtian hurriedly picked up Yan Liyan and returned to Liyan Villa.
Input a mana for Yan Liyan, Yan Liyan woke up slowly, and then meditated and practiced.
