Chapter 189: Mountains and rivers are broken
Page 10:
In the following years, I defeated Zhang Shoufu, Wu Taishi, and Li ......
A large number of people in the DPRK and China were defeated by me, and my henchmen were all over the government and the opposition because of this.
This process is destined to be bloody and cruel, and the race will be exterminated at every turn.
But the struggle of officialdom is like this, once you enter the game, there is no such thing as taking a step back and opening up the sky, and taking a step back will only lead to a catastrophe.
Finally, I reached the pinnacle of Dayu's political arena, and it seemed that there was still a Sun faction in the court that could compete with me, but in fact, the so-called Sun faction was just kept by me and used to make the emperor worse.
Although I don't have a disobedient heart, I always have to consider the emperor's feelings, which is called loyalty.
But just when I wanted to make a move, disaster struck.
The barbarians at the border pass ride into the pass!
Page 11:
When Dayu was founding the country, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong had swept away the barbarians several times and killed a lot of people.
But what's the matter, the barbarians are like grass, after a strong wall clears the wilderness, it will only be a hundred years, and it will grow again, and it will be inexhaustible.
And Dayu's army, at this time, has long been corrupted and unbearable to fight.
After the most capable border army was broken through the defense line, the iron cavalry of the barbarians drove directly into the capital and pointed directly at the capital.
Page 12:
Five years later, Dayu lost most of the country and moved the capital to Yunyang, half of the country is still there, and the other half is rampant with barbarians and thieves.
Dayu has an army, but the major general has no commander, and when he looks up, he can't see a useful person, but at that time, the barbarians are strong again, and they are about to extinguish the last fire of Dayu.
In desperation, I could only hurriedly clean the court, personally take command, organize people, and resist the enemy, and the root of the curse was also buried.

It's bitter cold in the army, but it's nothing to me, and although I'm just a scholar for most of my life, and I've always been just a political fight, it doesn't mean that I won't march and fight.
Except for the beginning of a period of anxiety, the follow-up, soon everything is on the right track, after all, the court and the central government are all my people, there is no lag behind, I just need to concentrate on rectifying the army.
After eight years of conquest and subjugation of the old land, and in the process, my own holy path principles became stronger and stronger, and in the end, even outside my body, I condensed the splendid mountains and rivers.
Everything seems to be getting better, although the barbarian army is strong, but in the end the foundation is not in the Central Plains, and it is not good at protracted warfare.
My army is getting stronger and stronger, while the barbarian army is getting weaker and weaker.
But just when I was about to defeat the main force of the barbarians in one fell swoop and recover the Central Plains, I suddenly received a holy decree from the emperor, ordering me to return to the court immediately.
I knew in my heart that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but in the end, Zhongjun's idea prevailed.
I can understand the emperor's fear, after all, I have no two prestige in my own right, not only in the DPRK and China, but also in the army.
If I still say a word about recovering the Central Plains this time, I am afraid that it will be the abolition of the emperor, and it will only be between my words.
Therefore, in order to prove that I have no objection, I chose to withdraw the army.
According to my thoughts, the barbarian thing, this time, there is a next time.
The emperor is jealous of me, which is his due intention, but he will never dare to kill me.
If I die, there will be chaos in the court and in the army, and I am afraid that in an instant, the barbarians will drive straight in, and the emperor will become the king of the country, and even be captured by the barbarians, and suffer humiliation.

It's a pity that I still think too highly of the emperor after all, and I think that there is nothing missing, but I forget the idea of preferring to be a strong enemy rather than a domestic slave.
Although I am in power and opposition, and I am terrified by the barbarians, I am a house slave after all, and the barbarians, who belong to the enemy, are on the same status as himself in the eyes of the emperor.
In the emperor's opinion, if the barbarians are safe today, there is nothing to worry about, and I am the biggest thief.
The emperor first poisoned the celebration banquet, and then surrounded and killed with a master, if I rushed out and revealed the truth, the world would inevitably be opposed.
But in the end, I hesitated.
The first is that he can't bear to suffer from war again, and the second is that he is the king, I am the minister, the king wants the minister to die, how can the minister not die? !
Page 15:
But at the end of my life, looking at the majestic palace, I seemed to understand.
My path has been wrong from the beginning, if you are not a king, why should you be a minister?!
My Word has been shattered by this, and if it is re-established, I will surely be able to enter a new realm.
Unfortunately, it was too late for me to realize.
The old road is broken, the new road is not completed, the inside is highly poisonous, and there is a strong enemy outside......
Zhao Cheng read the history and found that when the unrighteous person was alive, he was much more difficult than he imagined.
At the earliest, Zhao Cheng suspected that he was actually a Taoist priest, but later discovered that this Tao was not the arrival of a Taoist, but the Tao in his heart.
The reason why Lu Qing became an unrighteous person is because the Tao in his heart was broken before he died, but he didn't have time to stand up after it was broken.
If you want to break the Tao and stand up, it is not something that can be completed in an instant after thinking of something, but it has to go through a painful tempering, because you not only have to believe in it, but also practice it.
Just as Zhao Cheng knows, the sage Wang Yangming, a generation of saints, was also in the hardships of the dragon field, and realized the Tao for several years, which laid the foundation of the Holy Dao, and it was by no means possible to be completed overnight.
As for the history of Dayu, Zhao Cheng knows everything.
After Lu Qing's death, the emperor overestimated himself, he was able to kill Lu Qing because Lu Qing was a minister, he was a king, Lu Qing did not think that the emperor would kill him, so the emperor succeeded.
The emperor fought in the nest, but it didn't work against the barbarians.
After Lu Qing's death, the court had no leader, no commander in the army, in just three years, the court cut the land several times, until seven years later, the barbarian iron cavalry broke through the capital, the emperor and even his concubine and queen, all became prisoners, suffered humiliation.
Pig teammates are like this, hurting others, and not benefiting themselves.
And Lu Qing, if Dan has a little disobedience, I am afraid that the ending will never be the same.
Zhao Cheng thought about it, this is probably the cognitive limitation of the ancients, if it were a modern person, it would have been reversed a long time ago.
But Lu Qing is still indulging in the drama of monarchs and ministers, and wants to be a generation of virtuous ministers in the history books that will be passed down through the ages.
You see, I can rebel, but I want to be a loyal minister, this heart, it can be said that the sun and the moon can be seen.
Loyal ministers through the ages, virtuous ministers, who else can I be!
Lu Qing probably had such feelings, rebelling and becoming the emperor, for him, he really didn't have this kind of self-touching, and he was so happy.
And throughout history, there are really many such people.
It's a pity that the emperor was stupid and didn't cooperate with him, so he directly flipped the table.
"Entering the Tao with knowledge, I can't imagine that there is such a cultivation method in Jingkong."
Zhao Cheng thought to himself, but he directly found the most critical information in the diary.
The splendid mountains and rivers condensed by Lu Qing are estimated to be the realm of the martial arts overlord.
But the crux of the matter is that he has never practiced martial arts.
Inexplicably, Zhao Cheng thought of his own unorthodox special effects, Wu Nian said that this thing is a supernatural power, and it is the god of the true self.
Maybe the worlds and the power may be different, but the power of the true self is unhindered.
The so-called Divine Way is the communication of the true self, which leads to the evolution of life.
It is even possible that directly communicating with the true self is the closest cultivation method to the source, and it is only the most difficult.

Martial arts is equivalent to making money on your own, communicating with your true self, but it is similar to buying lottery tickets every day (doing knowledge), although there is indeed a possibility of winning the lottery, but the probability is too low.
