Chapter 44: Refusal

The current Emperor Wei is obsessed with cultivation, knows nothing about civil affairs and military aircraft, and has no intention of taking care of it, he delegates power to his ministers, allowing them to decide military and political affairs, which accelerates the decay of Wei Guo. Many ministers of the DPRK and China have seized this opportunity to take bribes for personal gain, causing a miasma of smoke and smoke in the DPRK and China, and various official rules and regulations have gradually broken down and become chaotic.

There are also many families in various localities who are in the same stream, and they vie with each other to collude with the courtiers to rely on them, and wantonly exclude dissidents in the localities, and some virtuous and prestigious families have been suppressed one after another; they have also wantonly squeezed the people and businessmen, causing the people's resentment in various localities to boil, the people's livelihood to be difficult, and the people's hearts to be scattered.

It took Wang Weitai a long time to roughly finish the current situation in all aspects of the country.

After listening to Wang Weitai's introduction, Xia Yuan had a comprehensive understanding of the erosion of the country, he was silent, digesting the information he had just gotten, and thoughtful. Wang Weitai waited quietly aside, drinking tea with a teacup, he looked at Xia Yuan in thought, and did not make a sound to disturb.

Looking at the contemplative Xia family elder in front of him, Wang Weitai sighed with emotion.

Xia Yuan destroyed the Lichen Sect with a thunderous blow in Jianchang County, showing his earth-shattering strength, but Jianchang County, as a remote and small county of Weiguo, few people in the twilight Weiguo cared about this. Even if some people noticed Xia Yuan, their eyes were only focused on his cultivation and age.

Wang Weitai is different, in addition to Xia Yuan's cultivation and age, he also noticed Xia Yuan's actions, Xia Yuan's actions are magnificent, which aroused Wang Weitai's interest. So Wang Weitai sent someone to carefully investigate everything about Xia Yuan, and even Xia Yuan's small changes in the remote grange did not escape Wang Weitai's eyes.

Wang Weitai synthesized all the information about Xia Yuan, and determined that Xia Yuan was sincere, upright, benevolent, and rigorous and thorough, so he had the idea of persuading Xia Yuan to become an official.

Many officials in the court of the patriotic state are either greedy for profit and selfishness, causing trouble in the government, or obsessed with cultivation and ignoring everything, or mediocre and living in a drowsy. Although Wang Weitai was worried about state affairs and tried to fight with each other, because there were no like-minded people in the court to respond to help, Wang Weitai was unable to support himself and was powerless, so he could only watch other ministers act wantonly.

If Xia Yuan can come out, with the ability he showed in Jianchang County, it will be a big help for Wang Weitai.

Xia Yuan's cultivation at the peak of the peak is already the apex of the world, and the strongest cultivators in various countries are only like this. Moreover, because the peak of Liding is only one step away from Juyuan, most of the peak cultivators of Liding are keen on cultivation, and they rarely get involved in mundane disputes. The same is true in the court of the defense of the country, the highest cultivation among the courtiers is in the late stage of Liding, and no one can compete with Xia Yuan in cultivation.

Xia Yuan is so young, it is very possible to advance to Juyuan, and there is a mysterious and powerful master behind him. Judging from these, Xia Yuan has the strength to fight against the traditional forces of patriotism. In addition, Xia Yuan is pure-minded and mature and sophisticated, once Xia Yuan becomes a leader, it is entirely possible to become a virtuous and capable minister.

If Wang Weitai gets Xia Yuan's help, although he still has to face a lot of battles, the situation will be far better than when he fights alone, and there is a glimmer of hope for reviving the country.

Wang Weitai looked at the young Xia Yuan and thought of his third son, Wang Chenghai. Wang Chenghai and Xia Yuan are about the same age, and they are still fighting and being jealous, fighting and causing trouble.

Wang Weitai is over 300 years old, and the eldest son and second son have passed away for many years because they have not broken through Liding, and now Wang Weitai's descendants have been passed down for many generations. When Wang Weitai was more than 310 years old, a newly married commoner concubine gave birth to Wang Chenghai for him. Although Wang Chenghai's mother is only a commoner, Wang Weitai is very happy to have a son again at such an age, he doesn't care about his concubines, and he has worked hard to cultivate Wang Chenghai since he was a child.

Wang Chenghai's talent is good, and his cultivation is also serious and hardworking, he is only twenty-three years old this year, and his cultivation has reached the seventh level of quenching, and he was able to enter the Royal Elite Academy. Wang Weitai was originally very satisfied with Wang Chenghai, but now compared with Xia Yuan, who is about the same age, the gap between Wang Chenghai in all aspects cannot be calculated, Xia Yuan is already a hero on the dominant side, and Wang Chenghai is just an ignorant young man.

Xia Yuan thought for a while and said: "After listening to what Wang Shuai said, the situation of defending the country is as dangerous as an egg, and there are many shortcomings in the military, politics, morality, and etiquette, and this bad situation, even if the great sage wants to reverse it, it will take time." At this time, if another country attacked, the defender would have to hold off the invaders for a few years before he could have time to push for internal changes. Wang Shuai is a veteran general in the army, what is the situation in this army? If there is an invading enemy, how long can the army resist?"

Wang Weitai sighed: "The Five Patriotic Army, except for my Eastern Army, the other armies are all imaginary. Take the most powerful Praetorian Guard, for example, it is known to the outside world that there are nine great generals and more than 280 quenching captains. But in fact, the Praetorian Guard only had three generals and more than 60 captains. The rest of the people are from various forces, and they only eat empty salaries in the army, and these nominal people are not in the forbidden army at all, let alone go to the battlefield. The real generals and captains in the forbidden army have no fighting spirit when they see so many people blatantly greedy for military salaries. With such an army defending the country, how can it stop the tiger and wolf army of other countries?"

Xia Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this, this Weiguo was also too rotten and ruthless! He showed a hint of banter, "In this way, if you want to revive the Weiguo, you are really at a loss." ”

Wang Weitai put down the teacup, looked at Xia Yuan and said seriously: "There are indeed many difficulties, but things are man-made, people of insight work hard to do it, and there may be a day of revival for the country." ”

Xia Yuan looked at Wang Weitai with a serious face, and said in his heart that this loyalty can be learned, but he is a little stupid, such a scarred patriotic country may be better if it falls.

Xia Yuan straightened his face and said to Wang Weitai: "Wang Shuai is dedicated to the country and has worked hard, Xia really admires it." However, I am concerned about cultivation, and now I am only one step away from Juyuan, and I really don't want to be distracted by others. Since the Bone Pill needs time to verify, then I will come back in ten days, and I will not bother today. ”

Wang Weitai saw that Xia Yuan listened to it for a long time, but he still had no intention of leaving, and he was in a hurry to leave, obviously wanting to get rid of himself. Wang Weitai was extremely unhappy in his heart, he changed his expression immediately, and said coldly: "What, Elder Xia Zong is in a hurry to leave? I thought that Elder Xia Zong was a masterpiece of a generation, but I thought that he was also a person who was afraid of difficulties and things, which really disappointed the old man. ”

Xia Yuan didn't want to entangle with this stubborn and foolish old man anymore, he stood up and said, "Wang Shuai has to open his heart, some things are rotten, and he must be willing to give up." I had a good conversation with Wang Shuai today, the hour is not early, and after a long time, it is time for me to leave. ”
