In the imperial study, Emperor Yanshun sat on the dragon couch with a calm face, listening to his subordinates report the latest situation of Confucianism and Taoism.

"At present, Du Shaoling is preaching in Zhulu Academy, and all the officials in Huzhou have become Confucianism and Taoism, and they are practicing Confucianism and Taoism with Du Shaoling."

"The news spread by my sect before did not have any effect, but instead angered those literati and writers, and spontaneously preached Confucianism and Taoism everywhere."

"Recently, there has been inaccurate news that the number of business travelers entering our dynasty in Baiyue, Daqian, Beiyan and other countries has obviously increased several times, and many business travelers have gone to Qingzhou City, and it is estimated that they are also here for Confucianism and Taoism."

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Emperor Yanshun's face sank like water, and he was at a loss.

He is well aware that the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable.

Not to mention the local officials, many officials in the capital have also begun to practice Confucianism and Taoism.

The allure of Confucianism and Taoism is too great for those who read.

If Confucianism and Taoism are allowed to develop like this, everything that their Heavenly Sect has painstakingly managed for so many years will be wiped out.

The minions they cultivated were probably going to become Wei Yi's minions.

At that time, don't talk about whether your Heavenly Sect can still be based on the Great Yan Dynasty.

I'm afraid that my throne will be lost.

Although Elder Taishang said that his divine skills were about to be completed, he might be able to turn the tide.

But if they don't do something right now, I'm afraid they will also shake the military spirit and morale of their Heavenly Sect party.

When the time comes, whether they can deal with Wei Yi and Confucianism or Taoism is a matter of two words.

"Come on, the will!" Emperor Yan Shun shouted.

He had to take action, otherwise this Great Yan Dynasty would not belong to their Heavenly Sect.

Emperor Yanshun quickly issued an order to list Confucianism and Taoism as a cult, prohibiting everyone from cultivating, talking, and spreading Confucianism and Taoism, otherwise they would be severely punished.

At the same time, he ordered the state capitals where the major academies were located to immediately check all the books and burn all the books on Confucianism and Taoism, as well as all the poems and articles of Wei Yi.

At the same time, the academy was ordered to rectify and not to teach any poems and articles about Confucianism and Taoism and Wei Yi in any form.

After this holy decree was issued, it immediately blew up in the capital, causing an uproar.

There was even more discontent in the Guozi Prison.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

"Yes, why do you want to list Confucianism and Taoism as a cult, and do you really have to drive us literati to a dead end?"

"Hmph, it must be the Celestial Sect behind the troublemakers, for fear that we literati have extraordinary power and threaten their power."

"It seems that they are really afraid of Confucianism!"

"I thought I saw hope again, but now it's ...... Alas, what is the future of the Great Yan Dynasty? ”

"Yes, I thought that I and other scholars would finally have a chance to turn over, but I didn't expect a holy decree to kill them all!"

"What I'm worried about is that if Your Majesty does this, it may cause turmoil!"

"Well, Confucianism and Taoism can develop so rapidly, this is the desire of the people, but Your Majesty is going against the trend, I am afraid that there will be disasters!"

"Then Wei Yi will definitely not sit still, Your Majesty is doing this, it is clear that he wants to declare war with the other party, and send a hero who originally guarded the safety of my Great Yan Dynasty to the opposite side and treat him as an enemy, Your Majesty's approach is really too unwise."

"Yes, this Confucianism and Taoism practice is expected to become the foundation of the country, is the hope of strengthening the country and rejuvenating the country, if our dynasty bans Confucianism, it is equivalent to giving Confucianism to neighboring countries, if Confucianism and Taoism in Daqian, Beiyan, Baiyue and other countries develop and grow, when the time comes, our Dayan Dynasty will sooner or later be slaughtered."

"If it goes on like this, where is there any need to wait for the neighboring countries to make trouble, we ourselves will have civil strife first!"

It was difficult for everyone to calm down their inner dissatisfaction and resentment for a while.

If it weren't for the awe and rationality, I'm afraid I would really scold.

But although he barely restrained his mouth, he had already scolded Emperor Yanshun and the Heavenly Sect in his heart.

He even wished that Wei Yi would lead the Confucianism and Taoism powerhouses to directly destroy the Heavenly Sect and cut down this mediocre and incompetent puppet emperor.

After all, they knew very well that if the Heavenly Sect continued to be such a scourge, the Great Yan Dynasty would fall sooner or later.

These scholars are loyal to the imperial court, the country, and the culture left by the nation and their ancestors.

It's not a mediocre monarch, and it's not a heavenly religion.

Soon, many important ministers in the court also attacked one after another, and more ministers knelt directly outside the main hall and prayed to Emperor Yanshun to take back his fate.

Although most of these ministers are from the Celestial Sect.

But they are not really Celestial Sect monks, nor are they a bunch of people with wine bags and rice bags.

It's just that when there is a partisan dispute, they stand on the side of the Heavenly and Human Sect for their own interests, and they are also a community of interests.

And now this holy decree issued by Emperor Yanshun has seriously violated their interests, and they naturally can't sit still.

First of all, if Confucianism and Taoism are forbidden, then they who are scholars will have no hope of practicing Confucianism and Taoism.

After all, this is also their chance to gain extraordinary power, and they naturally aspire to be able to practice Confucianism and Taoism.

Secondly, they also felt that Emperor Yanshun's will was very inappropriate.

If it is really implemented, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil.

After all, Confucianism and Taoism are now gaining momentum, and they are already the aspirations of the people.

Wei Yi is also a hero in the hearts of countless people, coupled with Du Shaoling's prestige in the hearts of readers.

From any point of view, this cannot be a cult, and it is still more beneficial to the country and harmless.

As the emperor, if he doesn't support it, he will suppress it, saying that he is a cult, isn't that a clear reversal of black and white, destroying the last hope of those scholars?

These literati of the Great Yan Dynasty were already suffering under this dark world, and there was no hope in sight.

Now that they have finally caught a life-saving straw, suddenly taking away their life-saving straw at this time will definitely ignite the anger in their hearts instantly.

In the past, they were scattered, and they could not pose a threat, and they could not set off much storm.

But now Confucianism and Taoism have become the force that unites them and their common will.

At this time, their cohesion is very terrifying, and they have a strong person like Wei Yi as the backing.

As long as Wei Yi is willing, he will be able to set off a revolution immediately, and it is still unknown whether they will be able to cope with it at that time.

Originally, Wei Yi may not have had a reason to start a revolution.

But this holy decree of Emperor Yanshun will become the best reason.

"Your Majesty, although the Celestial Sect is the state religion of our dynasty, the practice of Confucianism and Taoism can also become the foundation of our dynasty and the will of the people.

"Your Majesty, if you completely ban Confucianism and Taoism, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil!"

"Your Majesty, this Wei Yi is not an enemy, we may be able to cooperate with Wei Yi to jointly control and develop the Confucianism and Taoism Academy."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle the knot, you can't let Confucianism and Taoism become our enemies!"

"Alright, shut up!" Emperor Yan Shun shouted angrily, and a coercion permeated the air, frightening several ministers to kneel directly to the ground, dripping in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, forgive your sins!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to do it, I've made up my mind, don't say more, go down!" Emperor Yan Shun shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Go down!" Emperor Yan Shun scolded again, and several ministers looked helpless, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

……

The next day, in the city of Qingzhou.

Although the Lantern Festival has passed, the city is still shrouded in a joyful and lively atmosphere today.

Because today is the day of Wei Yi's wedding, this is a gratifying event for the people of the city.

In Wei Yi's new mansion, red lanterns hung high in the courtyard, and festive red flowers and ribbons decorated every corner.

The sound of drums, gongs and drums, and festive firecrackers exploded in the air, as if bringing a joyful atmosphere to the whole city.

The door of the house is full of festive paper-cuts, various auspicious patterns and blessing words, highlighting the happiness and auspiciousness of the newlyweds.

The dignitaries in the city, many businessmen, and celebrities came to congratulate them.

Du Shaoling also returned to Qingzhou City with Tang Yin early in the morning.

The old prince Zhao Yinxiong also brought several sons of the palace to the Wei family, and the scene was full of people and lively.

Although Shanruoshui and King Jin and others were not present in person, they also sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

After a while, a crane suddenly sounded in the sky, but I saw a crane flying from the sky.

Then he landed in front of the mansion.

On the back of the crane sat a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous court costumes.

The middle-aged man stepped down from the crane, and then said loudly: "The envoy of the Lower Baiyue Kingdom, in honor of Your Majesty, I have come to send a congratulatory gift to Gongzi Wei!" ”

The envoy held a beautiful wooden box and handed it to Wei Yi.

Immediately, with a beautiful congratulatory letter in hand, he began to read aloud the congratulatory message written by His Majesty.

However, before he could finish his words, two more people came with flying swords.

But he was an envoy sent by the Daqian Dynasty.

They also came to give congratulatory gifts.

Moreover, like the envoys of the Baiyue Kingdom, he also read out the congratulatory message written by the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty in public.

The arrival of the envoys of various countries was beyond the expectations of everyone on the scene.

But although everyone was surprised, they could also understand how terrifying Wei Yi's influence was now.

Presumably, the emperors of all countries wanted to curry favor with Wei Yi, hoping that he could spread Confucianism and Taoism to their countries.

Seeing this scene, the most surprising people were naturally Wei Tieshan and Wei Xue, who were also extremely proud in their hearts.

Today's wedding was beyond their expectations, but they didn't expect the emperors of neighboring countries to send envoys to congratulate them.

What a glory this is, I'm afraid that even the wedding of the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty may not have so many envoys.

Soon after, the auspicious time arrived, and the wedding officially began.

During the whole process, Meng Shuilian felt that she was in a state of confusion, and it felt as unreal as a dream.

She never imagined that she would have such a grand and unprecedented wedding.

is even a little weak-hearted, a little ashamed of himself, and always feels that he doesn't seem to be worthy of such a wedding.

But feeling Wei Yi's solid palm and careful care, Meng Shuilian's heart was much more steady.

In the evening, the guests left one after another, and Wei Yi sent all the guests away and returned to the new house happily.

Pushing open the door, he couldn't help but hold his breath at the sight in front of him.

Meng Shuilian wore a gorgeous dress and exquisite headdress, which made her already beautiful and refined face more moving and delicate.

Her face was as beautiful as ever, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she exuded a gentle light.

The skin is fair and supple, the facial features are delicate and delicate, and every detail exudes incomparable beauty.

The slender waist is not grasped, but the curvature of the chest supports the dress bulgingly.

The eyes of the two met, Meng Shuilian's cheeks were red with shame, but the corners of her mouth were full of happy smiles.

Wei Yi also smiled happily, and walked straight to Meng Shuilian's side, and then the princess hugged Meng Shuilian and hugged her.

Meng Shuilian screamed in surprise, but her body seemed to melt, and she was paralyzed in the crook of Wei Yi's arm.

His eyes were like water, quietly staring at Wei Yi, but his heart was beating wildly.

"Shuilian, from today onwards, you will be my Wei Yi's wife!"

"Hmm!" Meng Shuilian smiled and nodded, "I'm really not dreaming, today really feels like a dream, it's so unreal!" ”

Hearing Meng Shuilian's words, Wei Yi directly took a light bite on Meng Shuilian's cheek.

"How's that, is it real?" Wei Yi asked with a smile.

"Well, it hurts a little!" Meng Shuilian nodded with a smile, then wrapped her arms around Wei Yi's neck, and said, "Xianggong, today's wedding is really shocking, I am really panicked in my heart, for fear that others will think that I am not worthy of you!" ”

"Who dares, you are my wife, not to mention, no one is more worthy of me than you, worthy of today's wedding!" Wei Yi said with a look of authentication.

His words made Meng Shuilian's heart extremely moved and extremely happy.

A heart was about to melt, and he couldn't help but bury his head in Wei Yi's arms: "It's good to be able to marry you, I must have saved the world in my last life!" ”

"No, it's enough for you to save me!" Wei Yi hugged Meng Shuilian tighter, and then sat on the edge of the bed with her.

Wei Yi and Meng Shuilian chatted a lot together, and even told her about double cultivation.

As the night deepened, there was silence in Wei Yi's new mansion, and the sound of soft groaning faintly echoed in the night wind.

After Wei Yi's wedding, Du Shaoling and Tang Yin also left Qingzhou City one after another.

Du Shaoling drove the giant eagle and sent Tang Yin back to Hengzhou City first.

This giant eagle was painted by Du Shaoling, and Wei Yi also taught Du Shaoling the magic power of "leaping on paper" to facilitate his travel.

In Huzhou City, the prefect Changqing couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw the holy decree issued by Emperor Yanshun.

He didn't expect that Emperor Yan Shun would order a ban on Confucian and Taoist cultivation and clean up Confucian and Taoist practitioners.

Since he began to cultivate the Qi of Brush and Ink, he seems to have opened up a whole new world, and every day is full of hope, watching the Qi of Brush and Ink gather into a sapling and slowly grow into a towering tree, his heart is truly full and joyful like never before.

Especially after seeing Du Shaoling show his Confucianism and Taoism with his own eyes that day, he was thrilled and fascinated.

If you are eager to cultivate and step into the realm of Xiucai, you can use Confucianism and Taoism and truly have extraordinary power.

But now, as soon as this will come out, it will cut off their path of cultivation.

"Damn, the Celestials teach these bastards!" Chang Qing scolded in his heart.

He knew very well that this matter must have been instigated by the Heavenly Sect behind it, fearing that the Confucianism and Taoism forces would be too strong and shake their status.

"My lord, what should I do? Do we really want to ......?" an adjutant officer looked embarrassed.

"Hmph, Yin and Yang are violated, it can be delayed for a day, look, it won't be long before this matter is over, unless the monks of the Heavenly Sect come forward in person, who has a way to compete with Confucianism and Taoism?" Chang Qing said coldly.

He felt that with the current momentum of Confucianism and Taoism, no one could stop it, and if he intervened forcibly, the final result would be the outbreak of civil strife.
