Xuandu Temple, in the dark room.

An old gentleman dressed as a Confucian suddenly appeared, and the room was bright.

This is not any divine channel technique, but the old gentleman's heart blooms with light, so that the dark room is no longer dark, and it can be said that the spiritual realm has reached an extremely high level.

If you have a bright heart, you will have an impact on the outside world.

Forge the fake and make it true.

The great Confucian is Wang Zongzhi, one of the three deputy chiefs of the academy.

After he appeared, he sat opposite Emperor Liang and said softly:

"Your Majesty, stop it."

Emperor Liang looked at him for a long time, his gloomy dragon eyes slowly closed, and said lightly:

"Master Wang, my virtue is thin, is it really as he said?"

Wang Zongzhi pondered for a long time and said: "The minister still remembers that in the early years of Anping, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, he set out to eliminate the accumulated defects, and the country took on a new look.

The minister listed several important events that are still fresh in his memory, such as: His Majesty issued an edict exhorting people to cultivate their minds with respect and dedication, determining the system of clothing and clothing to identify their identities, removing the saint statues made of civil engineering, depriving the eunuchs of their power in the middle and outside the court, and the previous dynasty had destroyed the temple of Confucius and refused to offer sacrifices, but His Majesty ordered that he began to worship the Master again, so that he would be in the temples, and the main position would be clear, and the grace would be extended to the descendants of the Master, and the daughter of Dongluhou should be married into the palace, showing the preferential treatment of the descendants of the saints. ”

He paused and said, "It's not that the minister has the intention to pat His Majesty's ass, but that the situation was true at that time. At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the three old masters of the previous generation of the academy all asserted that His Majesty was wise and decisive, better than many Ming monarchs in the past three generations, and if His Majesty could appoint virtuous and wise Zaifu, stay away from the small and middle-sized people in the court, insist on reducing the degree of consumption, be sympathetic to the people's feelings, and not exhaust the people's strength, the world would be peaceful, Taicang would be full, the money and grain would be piled up, and the peaceful and prosperous era of the people's life would be just around the corner. At that time, everyone in the world expected His Majesty to become a generation of great achievements. But His Majesty didn't stick to it as always......"

Emperor Liang: "But do you know what he said? ”

"Your Majesty wants to rebel? Is this what a reservant should say? Is he a saint, not my courtier? Is there such a truth in the world? Even so, I did not order him to be killed. When the prince came, he blamed me, is my heart not broad enough? Do you think that I can't govern the country well, didn't I order the hundred officials and the prince to discuss national policies and save the people? If they can do it, I can rest assured that the world will be in the hands of the crown prince. ”

Wang Zongzhi: "Yasheng didn't mean that, how could Your Majesty misinterpret his original meaning?" The world is the world of the people of the world, and the ministers do not shy away from it, that is the consensus in the hearts of the courtiers. It is advisable to be cautious when carrying a boat and capsizing a boat. This is the fundamental reason for the fall of the dynasty in the history books. How can Your Majesty turn a blind eye? The courtiers said that the whole world is not the king's land, and that is to clarify the program, unify the thinking, and not cause chaos. But in fact, it is just as the minister said earlier. Moral education is used to educate people, but moral education cannot educate people, and it also needs a steel whip. Isn't that how Your Majesty treats the subjects of the world? The minister does not think that His Majesty is at fault for arbitrarily judging the dynasty, and this is true of all wise lords. But there are times when saints make mistakes, and the minister only hopes that His Majesty can face them up to them and correct them. The monarch is at fault, and his subordinates have to hide it, and that is the real great sin. Yasheng just did what a saint should do. Wherever these words are placed, the minister also said so. ”

Emperor Liang waved his hand and said: "I am old and virtuous, I recognize part of what you said, but the world has come to this point, is it my fault alone?" The officials want to use this to put the fault on me, is it the reason that the courtiers should have? In this way, let the hundred officials and the prince discuss a national policy that can save the people, if not, then I have something to say. ”

Wang Zongzhi knew that he couldn't persuade Emperor Liang after all.

He persuaded him, but he really couldn't persuade him.

This majesty is stubborn and stubborn, and he is indeed suitable for cultivation.

And he knew very well that Emperor Liang's real intention was to take back the initiative to the court, and then take the opportunity to deal with Yasheng.

Wang Zongzhi hoped that Emperor Liang could reconcile with Yasheng.

From the content of the palace test article and the last words of Yasheng, he saw Yasheng's true intentions, and Emperor Liang naturally understood.

First behead the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and then behead the science.

One man against the world.

The heart of seeking the Tao will not regret nine deaths.

Indeed, this is the nature of a saint.

But is the saint that Confucianism has been looking forward to for thousands of years to destroy Confucianism?

Because science has been integrated with Confucianism and is inseparable.

Since the Heavenly Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, in fact, the hundred schools have been integrated into Confucianism, Confucianism is a hundred schools, and a hundred schools are Confucianism.

I thought that the new sage would also be integrated into today's Confucianism, even if there are differences in learning, it is also to pick up the missing pieces and fill in the gaps, further consolidate the status of Confucianism, and bring forth the new to save the people.

But judging by his words and deeds, where is that?

This last saint of Confucianism is clearly going to destroy Confucianism.

If Confucianism is overthrown, Confucianism will not be unharmed.

At that time, the group will raise the wall and push it, and Daotongan will be able to survive?

Wang Zongzhi only hopes that the other party will use radical behavior to negotiate conditions.

Emperor Liang and Yasheng each took a step back.

Today's world really can't afford too much tossing.

There are many negative aspects to science, but it can give the greatest stability to the world.

…

…

Naturally, the civil and military officials and the crown prince could not agree to Emperor Liang's will.

So Yan Shi, the first assistant of the cabinet, took the initiative to submit his resignation, thinking that the world had reached this point, and he, as the first assistant, had an unshirkable responsibility.

In addition to Gao Zhen, four of the six Shangshu took the initiative to submit their resignations.

Three members of the Cabinet, including Yan Shi, submitted their resignations.

As for the heads of the departments below the court officer, there are also many resignations.

They each recounted their sins, waited for Emperor Liang's fate, and pushed the problem of state affairs on themselves.

In this way, we can save the face of the monarch.

Seeing that he was given the stairs, Emperor Liang temporarily agreed to the resignation of these people.

So he returned to Wanshou Palace from Xuandu Temple.

A day later, the court was reopened.

All the civil and military forces and princes are there.

Emperor Liang appeared on the jade steps of the Taihe Hall with a haggard face, and did not put a jade case, as if he had experienced great torture.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty."

All civil and military officials, nobles, and princes knelt down one after another.

Seeing the emperor like this, they had to kneel, and many of them shed tears.

Emperor Liang sat on the dragon chair with the support of Gonggong Lin, there seemed to be a little splash in his eyes, he endured it and did not fall, his eyes were blood-red, as if he hadn't slept for a long time.

"Since the Taihe Hall test, I haven't closed my eyes for three days and three nights."

"Your Majesty." Some ministers were grief-stricken.

"Father." The crown prince and the two princes burst into tears.

Emperor Liang's blood-red eyes looked up at the ceiling at the top of the hall, and after a while, he said:

"There were only five scholars in total, and I dismissed three! Look at these pillars of the court, which one is not gray-haired, and which one is not a rich five-car, but they are rotten, and my heart is broken! The foundation of my ancestors has been made into what it is now in my hands, and I am ashamed of heaven and earth, guilty of the country, and I can't wait to depose myself......"

Emperor Liang was furious, almost roaring, and threw the pot to the three elders who handed in their resignations and were dismissed by him without any psychological pressure.

The ministers showed trembling expressions, and today this scene had to accompany Emperor Liang to perform.

Emperor Liang was obviously angry, and pointed to the noses of the courtiers below and scolded: "There are also these high-sounding ministers who stand in the court, do you ask yourself if you are guilty?" I know that some of you are worse than them! I advise you to clean your heart, liver, and lungs! ”

Shameless!

Ridiculous!

But what can the ministers do, do they really let Emperor Liang go to Xuandu Temple again and hand over the mess to them?

If they want to save the Liang Dynasty, they have to cede their own interests, how can that be?

Interests do not arise in a vacuum, and when there are more people, there are fewer people in others.

The way of people is not enough and there is more than enough, that is the situation of the Great Liang Dynasty today.

The ministers, nobles, and princes are all more than enough, can they really make up for their shortcomings?

Isn't that a saint?

All the people of His Highness prostrated their heads and confessed their sins.

Emperor Liang glanced at all of them, and it seemed that everyone had looked at them, including the crown prince, including the two princes......

He said slowly: "I now understand very well that the biggest calamity of this Liang is inside, not outside, but in this Taihe Palace!" ”

"If our people here are rotten, the whole country will be rotten. If you're all rotten, the whole country will rise up. Think about how many people have died at your feet. Think about the great thieves of all dynasties, which one came in, not the bones of the public in the streets. ”

At this point, he paused.

The hall was silent.

After a while, Emperor Liang continued to speak: "I haven't closed my eyes for a few days, and I have been thinking about it in my heart, so I want to say something to you. In the end, I summarized the four words 'Zhengda Guangming', which is easy to say, but difficult to do! These four words are the result of my hollowing out. From today on, this place will be called Zhengda Hall of Light! ”

In the Taihe Palace, a plaque engraved with the words "Zhengda Guangming" has risen.

The Taihe Hall was also changed to "Zhengda Guangming Temple." ”

The historian wrote in a hurry.

He had to say that Emperor Liang's words were very reasonable, but compared to the calm statement of Ya Sheng Gong, His Majesty's hysterical rebuke was not convincing.

This is a record of the beam, no praise or criticism.

But after he went back, he secretly made a comparative evaluation of Yasheng's fair and quiet statement and Emperor Liang's angry reprimand of the ministers.

"Your Majesty's strategizing, whipping the universe, the spells of Shen and Shang, and the strange plots of Zhang Yi and Chen Ping can finally save the situation, or it can be described as an extraordinary person, a masterpiece of the world."

Shang Ying's practice is self-defeating, Chen Ping likes conspiracy, and the historian does not say anything, all in it.

As for the evaluation of Yasheng:

There is a poem: "The mountains look up, and the scenery stops." "Although I can't get there, I yearn for it.

No matter how straightforward the historian is, Emperor Liang threw the pot out and took back the initiative to the court. The content of the angry reprimand of the ministers also caused waves in the Shendu, saving a lot of image points for Emperor Liang.

And the matter of the palace test, under the strict inspection of the embroidered clothes guard, gradually faded.

Angrily denounced the ministers as a classic, and it was temporarily widely circulated.

…

…

Qin Chuan is still in the prison.

Yuan Hong persuaded him to kill him, but Qin Chuan felt that it was not yet time.

He needed time to digest the realizations he had recently gained, and Emperor Liang needed time to prepare.

Now it's calm before the storm.

And the prison can prevent Qin Chuan from being disturbed by people and things outside, where is there a quieter and more secure place than the prison?

Gao Zhen and Huang Meng both went out.

Jiang Chong didn't come back for the time being.

Yuan Hong continued to cultivate martial arts in the secret prison and consolidate the realm of martial saints.

Qin Chuan began to enlighten.

It's just that the process wasn't that smooth.

In the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison, as if connecting the Nine Hells, every late night, there were countless fierce ghosts wailing, trying to disturb Qin Chuan's thoughts.

Yuan Hong couldn't stand it.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

Yuan Hong said that if he cultivated a ghost immortal, it would be so noisy, maybe he would enter the underworld and settle accounts with the king of Hades.

Qin Chuan is peaceful.

He knew that this must be Emperor Liang's secret evil.

If Qin Chuan is impetuous, and he can't calm his nerves, then he will fall into the other party's way.

Qin Chuan was calm and calm, and Yuan Hongzi also settled down.

He is a martial saint, even if he is dry, he is only a murderous attack, and he kills the Buddha when he is a Buddha. To put it bluntly, it's just that I have itchy hands right now and want to go out and do something big.

If Qin Chuan hadn't wanted to keep it, he would have killed it a long time ago.

Qin Chuan realized the Tao in the deepest part of the heavenly prison!

It seemed to be connected to the Netherworld Mansion, and the miserable howls of countless unjust ghosts made Qin Chuan think about the major events of life and death.

He achieved the primordial god, which is really a coincidence.

Transcending life and death, the process is difficult to explain.

Now the miserable howls of these ghostly ghosts put the major events of life and death in front of Qin Chuan again.

But Qin Chuan didn't panic, he had already gained immortality.

It's just that we still need to face the catastrophe.

Since he is beyond life and death, he naturally has no fear of the underworld.

So he thinks no longer about life and death, but about life and death.

The difference between one word and the meaning is completely different.

Man dies as a ghost.

In fact, it just exists in a different form.

This is not the case with birth and death.

What immortality pursues is immortality.

Death is the beginning of another form, and immortality is a form of perpetuation.

The so-called longevity.

The meaning of long-term vision is probably this meaning.

The world is the most unretainable, and the face of the mirror is a flowery tree.

Qin Chuan's pursuit is to retain.

Immortality is not immortality like the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, but the beauty that you want to keep, which is the meaning of immortality.

It is also the driving force for achieving the primordial spirit and attaining immortality.

This is also attachment.

Only attachment can lead to enlightenment, and attachment can also hinder the path.

A seeker is indispensable for perseverance.

Qin Chuan must first clarify his attachment.

"The Tao I seek is not the beginning, not Taiji, not the most selfless, not the holy mission entrusted by the sons and the hundred saints, but the persistence of my heart, to keep those things that feel good, which is also the heart of conscience and the heart of seeking the Tao."

"Only its heart is clear, so it sees sex."

Qin Chuan's body fell into a dead silence, and his Dao heart also fell into a dead silence.

It was as if he had turned into nothingness in an instant, and he had lost his breath.

The deepest prison of the heavenly prison was like a coffin that wrapped him.

And his expression bloomed with a calm and calm demeanor in the endless dead silence, and in the dark and damp prison, there was a murmuring sound of running water, covering the wails that buried those terrible ghosts.

Death is covered up.

Bring the flow of water endlessly.

Only by living endlessly can we retain the beauty.

Otherwise, there is no endless cycle of beauty, and it will become a dead thing.

A flower of the Tao blooms in Qin Chuan's heart.
