Chapter 568: To follow the heart is to follow the way of heaven; The teacher thought... How should students cope?
Yuan Tiangang used the human emperor seal to remove the Ziwei emperor qi on Mingkong's body. And as Mingkong's Ziwei Emperor Qi gradually dissipated, then the luck of the Son of Heaven on Mingkong's body would naturally be affected.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are actually not stubborn people, even if Yuan Tiangang is very willing to follow the development of heaven to a certain extent and go with the sky.
But now that the Three Realms are in such a situation, many things are out of his control.
How do we act in accordance with the way of heaven?
Yuan Tiangang himself couldn't figure it out, after all, there were so many outrageous things that had happened over the years, so much so that he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his divination.
However, Li Chunfeng's words reminded him.
"What kind of character do you think you Yuan Tiangang are? Will these three realms still have the opportunity for you to go against the sky? ”
"For cultivators like us, who are insignificant in the world, if they follow their hearts, they follow the way of heaven." Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "Have you ever thought that everything we do is actually in the calculation and control of the Heavenly Dao, those that you originally calculated, maybe it is what the Heavenly Dao wants you to see, or sometimes some of the seemingly retrograde actions of you and me are actually what the Heavenly Dao wants you and me to do." ”
"So, why should Brother Dao bother with whether he is acting in accordance with the sky?"
In the past, Yuan Tiangang might have been opposed to Li Chunfeng's views, but in today's situation, he also thinks it is very reasonable.
It is not uncommon for the so-called environment to change people, and the changes in the environment of the Three Realms have caused a change in the thinking of these people.
After all, even Li Shimin, who wanted to be the emperor in his heart, had to temporarily extinguish this idea after personally visiting his own Tang Empire.
Moreover, the news from Wang Xuance from Dongzhou also shows that with the current national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is almost impossible to conquer Dongzhou, although in terms of upper-level combat power, they have a peerless fierce general like Xue Rengui, but in the face of those monks in Dongzhou who have practiced for thousands of years, I am afraid there is no chance of victory.
The word "practice" can be said to be deeply rooted in the body and mind in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and those sects will even recruit disciples in the human realm at regular intervals, and some royal disciples are even when they are born, they are washed away by the purple qi on their bodies with secret methods, and they are directly sent to the immortal sect to practice.
In Dongsheng Divine Continent, the relationship between the Immortal Sect and the state is still very delicate.
Maybe some small sects and small sects have a cooperative relationship with the state, but those big immortal sects are to be worshiped by the human dynasty.
Dongzhou is a world of cultivators, if Li Shimin is really carried away and wants to conquer Dongzhou, then what it brings to Datang will definitely be a catastrophe.
Even if Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui were able to stop several of the top masters of the other party, if it was because of the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, the monks of Dongzhou entered Nanzhou and started to kill. That would lead to more innocent killings.
And Li Shimin, who forcibly launched the war, undoubtedly killed himself, and I am afraid that even Master Sanzang will not be on his side.
Li Shimin naturally knows this very well, this kind of thing has always been a "big taboo", even if it can achieve temporary success, but it will leave endless troubles for the future.
Li Shimin is a person who takes the past as a mirror, that is, he can continue to learn the lessons of the failures of his predecessors and learn from the successful experience of his predecessors in order to achieve himself today.
Even if he fell into a little swelling some time ago, he was also glad that because of the advent of this "death calamity", he was able to wake up suddenly.
The Great Mercy and Grace Temple, the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Wujing informed the master of the news he had received from Yuan Tiangang.
After Fahai pondered for a while, he spoke: "You are secretly watching, if Yuan Tiangang is just using the Human Emperor Seal to eliminate the Ziwei Emperor Qi on Mingkong's body, then you don't need to interfere too much and just protect the Dharma on the side." But if there are other changes, you should be cautious, as a teacher, I believe that you have your own measure. ”
For Wujing, Fahai is still trustworthy.
It is even said that his trust in Wujing is above Wukong to a certain extent.
The most reassuring thing for him is Bajie, and now he doesn't know where he is messing around in the world, has he forgotten his teachings, after all, Bajie's self-control ability has always been the worst among their senior brothers.
Mingkong's matter is not a big deal in Fahai's opinion.
Even if Yuan Tiangang didn't use the human emperor seal to eliminate the Ziwei Emperor Qi on her body, Fahai didn't think that she would have a chance to make waves.
Even if he doesn't make a move, whether it is Li Zhi, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty, or Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he can suppress her in all directions Of course, from Yuan Tiangang's point of view, his behavior is also to maintain the stability of the Tang Dynasty.
Mingkong only felt that his dream had been very real for a long time, and he couldn't wake up even if he wanted to.
She dreamed that the Emperor Taishang died because of the failure of the death tribulation, and because the queen had no heirs, the emperor Li Zhi and the queen went to the Ganye Temple to pray for blessings. She finally reunited with Li Zhi after a long absence, and the old love rekindled.
After the death of the eldest grandson, the Empress Wang suggested that Her Majesty include Mingkong in the harem because Concubine Xiao Shu was very favored in the palace, and formed an alliance with herself to fight against Concubine Xiao Shu.
Mingkong and Li Zhi naturally would not refuse, and she continued to return to the vulgar because of this.
Then, after a long battle in the harem, Wu Meiniang, Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei attacked each other mercilessly. Although His Majesty never paid attention to it, it also made the queen shout that she was the one who led the wolf into the house.
Because things are not at all what she imagined. This is no longer a matter of himself and Wu Meiniang joining forces to deal with Xiao Shufei, but even if he joins forces with Xiao Shufei, I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress this Wu Meiniang!
As soon as Queen Wang came to be unfavored, and she still had no heirs, Emperor Li Zhi gradually favored Wu Meiniang alone.
So much so that it evolved into a situation where Li Zhi wanted to "abolish Wang Liwu".
The queen was abolished, and it was not a trivial matter that the ministers of the court and the central government also stood in line, and the old ministers naturally stood on the side of the queen and queen, but the ministers who came to the throne through the imperial examination were all protégés of the Son of Heaven, so they naturally wanted to stand on Li Zhi's side.
The attitude of the court and the central government can be said to be clear, and Wu Meiniang can see that this is actually His Majesty after the death of the Emperor Taishang, and he wants to take this opportunity to do something to these old ministers.
His wings are already full, and those Zhenguan ministers who "escorted" him when he ascended the throne have become his constraints to a certain extent.
The Guanlong group headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, or those who refused to "surrender" to Li Zhi, were kicked out of the court.
Later, it was because Emperor Li Zhi forcibly broke through the power of the human bloodline and wanted to increase the longevity of the Yuan to cross the death calamity, but the breakthrough failed, resulting in a loss of qi and blood, and he assisted His Majesty in dealing with the government as the queen.
The increase in power made Empress Wu's desire gradually expand, and when Emperor Li was seriously ill, he vigorously supported his cronies in the court.
And after the emperor died of illness, the crown prince Li Xian succeeded to the throne, and she used the position of the queen mother to reign -
Then, after all kinds of twists and turns, she finally sat in the position of the king of the world and became the first empress of the Central Plains. And changed Tang to Zhou, proclaimed himself the Holy Spirit Emperor, took Luoyang as the divine capital, and Chang'an as the vice-capital of Xijing, in addition to the Tang clan affiliation, "with the emperor as the imperial heir, given the surname Wu".
During this period, anti-banners were raised all over the world, and the rebels and the Li clan died in her hands, which was simply countless.
The Confucian disciples with a strong and righteous spirit refused to be loyal to the Wuzhou court, and she also went on a killing spree. Her throne is actually not stable, the Tang Empire, which was originally very strong and is still developing, has been weakening.
The "barbarians" who were conquered by Li Shimin rebelled one after another, such as Turkic, Baekje, Tubo and so on. For a time, Datang's territory has almost shrunk by more than half.
But she is unwilling to give in, she thinks that this is all the inherent prejudice that the world simply has against her as a female emperor, she just has to sit tight and be a good emperor. But there are some things that she obviously doesn't think about, or can do.
Because she found that even the courtiers who seemed to be obedient to her now, in fact, many of them were thinking about waiting for their own deaths before supporting the Li family to succeed to the throne and restore the Li Tang artifact.
The nephew can't hold up the wall, and the son can't fight either. Then in front of her, it seems that there is only one way to go.
Emperor Taizong and the first emperor both wanted to extend their longevity with the martial arts of the human race, and it seemed that there was only one way in front of them.
But. The death tribulation failed—
It was as if the straw that broke the camel's back, and his son staged a coup d'état when he was seriously injured.
Throughout his life, even if he became an emperor, what did he do?
Xu is on the occasion of the death of the soul. A golden light appeared in front of Wu Meiniang's eyes, she forced her tired eyes to open and looked at the source of the golden light cave at this time, she suddenly reacted in her heart one thing, why. Why did the "Great Mercy and Grace Temple" and "Teacher" seem to have disappeared from the world and never appeared since?
And I didn't even notice it at all, let alone feel half weird.
Of course she could recognize the owner of the golden light in front of her, couldn't it be her own teacher, the Tang Dynasty Imperial Brother Sanzang Shengrulai?
"Mingkong, don't wake up yet?!"
Boom ——!
In the meditation room.
Mingkong sat up from the bed suddenly, his body was sweating, and his heart was pounding. Immediately, her eyes looked at the Sanzang Holy Buddha standing on the side of the bed, and she hurriedly got up to salute, "Teacher, learn"
"Lie down first."
Fahai waved his hand lightly, and Mingkong lay on the bed without resistance, and the net inspector stepped forward to cover the quilt for her, and then patted it lightly twice, and said, "You have slept like this for more than half a month."
According to the things in the dream, after waking up, you will forget about it, but this time it seems to be different, the span of this dream is decades, but those details seem to be vivid, very clear.
What a daring dream.
It turned out to be just a dream, no wonder Datang has become like that, and the teacher still doesn't come forward.
Whew-
Ming Kong breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately it was just a dream.
She didn't stay in the meditation room for long, she knew that the Holy Buddha's attitude towards Mingkong was very different. During this time, she realized that the Holy Buddha had entered her dream.
Generally speaking, people who are subject to relatively large emotional fluctuations in dreams will wake up from dreams. But this time it was different, there was the Sanzang Holy Buddha to protect her, so that she really finished this dream.
It's just that I don't know what she dreamed about that could make her emotions fluctuate so much.
And after the Purifier left, Fahai sat on the stool next to her and asked her directly, "How does it feel to be an empress?" ”
Sure enough, the teacher knew the content of his dream.
Mingkong lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Alone, I have been calculating all my life. Very tired and tired. If it is difficult to control ambition at the beginning, then later. There is no way out, so I can only move forward. ”
"What if you were given another chance?" Fahai asked.
Ming Kong fell into a long period of contemplation, and finally replied: "It is better for a student to choose to practice seriously and live an immortal life than to sit on his cold throne and make the world an enemy." ”
Fahai asked her again, "You haven't thought that if you are given another chance, can you do better?" ”
Students don't dare to think about it!
Mingkong looked at Fahai and tried to ask, "Does the teacher know something?"
Fahai nodded, didn't hide it, and said directly to Mingkong: "You have Ziwei Emperor Qi on you, and you already have Emperor Luck. So what you dream about in your dreams is not out of nowhere. ”
"Does Your Majesty know about this?"
"The Emperor knows."
The implication is that Li Zhi doesn't know.
The matter of the "Martial Lady" back then could be regarded as a ruckus, but Mingkong was still a little surprised: "The Emperor Taishang. You didn't choose to kill me? ”
Fahai didn't explain anything for Li Shimin. Because Li Shimin did not have murderous intentions, but finally gave up this method, because he was confident that he would be able to survive the death calamity, and at that time, Shouyuan would have grown himself, so naturally he didn't have to worry too much about these things.
Take 10,000 steps back, you have the Ziwei Emperor Qi, and you do have the imperial luck. Li Shimin was not unable to send her outside the Tang Dynasty, whether she relied on her own ability to open the country and began to use means to ascend the throne in other countries. As long as she ascends the throne, then for Li Shimin, it will be very simple.
Because the luck between emperors and nations can be plundered by killing and conquering.
Mingkong naturally doesn't know these things.
But through the silence of Master Sanzang, she could obviously guess something. After all, silence is an answer in itself.
Mingkong quickly stabilized his mood: "How does the teacher think the student should respond?" ”
"Do what you think you should do, but if your actions endanger the Three Realms or harm the people. The poor monk will personally intervene to overtake you. Fahai clasped his hands together, "Even if you're my student." ”
Clear Sky:.
Teacher, if you talk like this, the students are under a lot of pressure!
