The Secret of the Mountains Chapter 7: No one knows what the emperor is thinking
Qingning Daotian, Damang, Chang'an City.
This Chang'an City has been the economic and cultural center of the Damang court for nearly 10,000 years. Ten thousand years ago, Chang'an was not called Chang'an. At that time, Chang'an was called Fengjing, and it was still the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There is a text in "The Book of Poetry - Chu Feng" that says: "Go to the spring and soak the bud." I sighed and read the master of Pejing. It is said that the people of Chu State sighed and remembered the scene of Zhou Jing.
Since the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Five Regions have rioted, and the dragon and snake have risen to land. The ancestors of the Damang court, the Wang family, were the first nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no one else who could do it.
As the saying goes: the buildings near the water get the moon first, and the flowers and trees are easy to meet in spring. After the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors of the Wang family of the Damang Imperial Court quickly judged the direction of the situation with extremely vicious eyes, and resolutely dispatched the private army of the Wang family to control the capital of the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty, Fengjing.
And the situation after the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really as predicted by the ancestors of the Wang family, those who get Fengjing will win the world. Because the collapse of the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty was too sudden, it didn't leave much buffer time for the people of the world.
By the time the subjects and princes of the five domains of 'Qingning Daotian' really relieved themselves, the Wang clan had already firmly held the land of Central Continent in their hands, and officially changed its name: Chang'an!
Chang'an, Chang'an. Stability. Perhaps it is the name of the heart, the world of Central Continent, there has been no turmoil in the past 10,000 years, and the people in Central Continent have all bowed their heads to the feet of the Wang family.
This Wang clan is a first-class gate valve in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the Central Continent region, operating for a long time, almost all the descendant forces, are in the territory of the Central Continent, which is why the land of Central Continent, as the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but after the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is not much doubt and resistance to the rule of the Wang family. On the contrary, it was the forces in the other four domains of the 'Qingning Daotian' who regarded the Wang clan as stealing the fortunes of the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty.
This is about to be said ten thousand years ago, the 'Youhuang' of the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty suddenly died violently and ascended to the sky. Although the world is in turmoil, some of the princes in the Four Regions also have their own ghosts, and they also have their own calculations in their hearts. But in addition to these wall-like princes, there are still many princes who are loyal to the Great Zhou royal family, such as the Great Chu, which now reigns in southern Xinjiang, and the Tang Kingdom, which looks down on the eastern soil. There are also some Lingzong Immortal Gates, Tsing Yi Gates, and Death Temples. The former is the Taoist leader in this heavenly realm, while the latter is the bull's ear holder of Buddhism. And these four forces are also the most powerful existence in the four domains, and it is precisely because of these four forces that they have blocked the ambition of the Damang Wang clan to dominate the world for nearly 10,000 years.
Two princes in the southeast and two sects in the northwest. These Quartet forces, the attitude towards today's Damang Imperial Court, is six points disdainful, three points indifferent, and one point murderous. And the Damang Imperial Court of Zhongzhou has the same attitude towards these four forces.
The princes of the other four regions are all called kings. Only the Da Mang court called itself the emperor of the people. Today's Tang lord has a relatively gentle heart, and has never been entangled by the title of the monarch, you call yourself the emperor, but between the national letters, I still call you the lord of the country.
And the current lord of Dachu is not like this, but declares to the world, saying: "The lord of the country is reckless, usurping the throne, insulting the heavens and the earth, going against reason, correcting the mandate of heaven, and deceiving the people." If you claim to be the emperor in vain, you will be damned. ”
The Chu people are violent and known to the whole world. The current emperor of the Damang court is also a little helpless about this. Today's Great Chu, the climate has been formed, if there is no monk to intervene, with the Chu people's fierce character of not afraid of death, it may not take half a year, this reckless territory, will definitely Chu Song fluttering.
"Barbarians! Barbarians! Sooner or later, the widows will kill the Chu clan! The king of Chu Xiang is a puppet, he deceives people too much! Deceives people too much!"
At this time, in the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, the man in the black dragon robe was roaring loudly at a group of courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, looking extremely annoyed, and the ministers in the Weiyang Palace were silent, and no one dared to anger this most powerful man in the 'Qingning Daotian' at this time.
After a long time, the reckless 'human emperor', looking at the courtiers who were silent at his feet, opened his mouth and said:
"The widow dominates the Central Continent and dominates the four seas, and now he has stepped into the realm of 'unbearable cold', and the widow still can't do what he wants. Why is it that the king of Chuxiang, who is just the lord of a small country in the small land of southern Xinjiang, can act so unscrupulously. ”
"A few years ago, he dared to insult my recklessness, and now he dares to intercept and kill all my reckless envoys, who can tell the widow, why the Chu State dares, how dare he the Chu State!"
Just when the reckless 'Human Emperor' was about to rage again, a middle-aged man came out among the ministers.
"Your Majesty is angry, the country of Chu is really a barbarian land, whether it is the king of Chu or the subjects under his rule, they are all some uncivilized barbarians. The barbarians of the barbarian land have never read the scriptures of the saints, have not been indoctrinated, and must act unscrupulously. Sage Yun: 'If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle'. Most of the people in the Chu Kingdom don't even know what the rules are, and they don't even know the 'rules', so why should Your Majesty be angry about this? ”
The person who spoke was not small, it was Situ, one of the three princes in the Damang court, Liu Xi. The three dukes are the three official positions of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong. The lieutenant is in charge of the military, the Situ is in charge of the civil affairs, and the Situ is in charge of supervision. These three dukes are already the first-class real power giants in the Damang court, and although Liu Xi has the weakest real power, he does not control the soldiers and horses, supervise the power of life and death, but the power of civil affairs in his hands can have a lot of constraints on the other two parties, above the reckless court, the Taiwei is old, most of them will not go to the court to discuss politics, and Sikong is hidden behind the scenes for many years and has not been to the court, so this Situ has a vague demeanor of the head of a hundred officials.
Just as Situ Liu Xi's words fell, a gloomy voice sounded in Weiyang Palace:
"Lord Liu deserves to be the champion of our dynasty! The envoys of my reckless Heavenly Empire were all intercepted and killed. It was the people of the Great Reckless Celestial Empire who were killed, and it was the face of my Reckless Celestial Empire that fell. But he was said by Lord Liu to be a barbarian, so he understated it, amazing!"
The person who spoke this time was also not small, but it was too often the head of Jiuqing. This Taichang surnamed Ren, the name of Yueren, more than ten years ago was robbed by speculation, and then hurriedly entered the Damang Imperial Mausoleum to close the dead pass, who knew that it was a blessing in disguise, a few months ago in the imperial mausoleum into the realm of 'Qiongge', became an immortal monk, otherwise most of them would not dare to sneer at Liu Xi, who is ranked in the third duke.
The reckless 'Human Emperor' watched the two people in the Weiyang Palace attack each other, but he didn't mean to stop it, but instead looked at them with a playful look, and when the afterglow swept over the rest of the courtiers, the corners of his mouth unconsciously revealed mockery.
Liu Xi saw that the 'Human Emperor' didn't speak, obviously he wanted to continue to 'watch the play', although he had no bottom in his heart, he had no choice but to stiffen his brows and speak again:
"Lord Ren, you are the head of Jiuqing, in charge of my gift to heaven and earth, gods, people and ghosts, and you have not been in the court to discuss politics for more than ten years, which can be said to be far away from the rivers and lakes. And I am an official residence, ranked among the three dukes, in charge of civil affairs, and have been working hard for my reckless subjects for decades, which is also considered to be the height of the temple. You and I are ministers of the same court, and we share worries for the king, so we really shouldn't attack each other like this. More than ten years ago, with the words of your Qin Tianjian family, I Da Mang paid countless efforts to send missions in the Five Domains to envoy to various countries, making all countries uneasy, and all the countries and sects within the Five Domains thought that I was reckless and ambitious, and planned to start disputes again and unify the Five Domains, so over the years, I have been reckless in the remaining four domains, and my actions have been more restricted, even if I used to be a pro-reckless country, now I have a centrifugal meaning. In the end, the reason is because he wants to find the ethereal young man. ”
Without waiting for Ren Yue to speak, Liu Xi continued:
"In addition to burning incense and worshiping God over the years, you Qin Tianjian have sweated for my recklessness, made meritorious contributions, and literature cannot calm the world, and martial arts cannot determine the world, but why have you repeatedly come up with such policies that damage my reckless virtue in the past few decades? Liu Mou absolutely believes that the fortune of this country can be ruined by one person alone. And there's..."
"That's enough!
Just when Liu Xi was about to continue, the reckless 'human emperor' suddenly stopped, turned around and left, leaving the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, looking at each other in this Weiyang Palace, and Liu Xi, one of the three dukes, and Ren Yueren, the head of Jiuqing, glanced at each other, each snorted coldly, and left one after another. After seeing that these two masters had left, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu also dispersed, leaving an empty hall.
Da Mang, in the Chengming Palace.
Da Mang's 'Human Emperor' was sitting in front of the jade case, and at this time, there was an old man in luxurious clothes in the Chengming Palace, only to see Da Mang's 'Human Emperor' asking:
"What do you think about the mission?"
The richly dressed old man did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically:
"What does Your Majesty think of the suicide of 'Father-in-law Han'? This Father-in-law Han is already the father-in-law of the imperial front, and he is also among the first-class in the inner palace. A eunuch, in the inner palace, except for the masters, he is already under one person, why would he suddenly commit suicide?"
Seeing that the old man in front of him did not answer his question directly, the reckless 'human emperor' did not get angry, but showed a wry smile:
"The Qing family doesn't need to be sarcastic, if it weren't for the gelding, the widow wouldn't be so angry today. At the beginning, the Qing family said that there was a problem with the gelding, and the widow did not pay attention to it. ”
"Your Majesty is serious, how dare the old minister ridicule Your Majesty. The old minister just wants to say that as a eunuch, this Han Gonggong's chances of getting out of the deep palace must be limited, so there must be a fellow party in this court and the inner palace, a eunuch who ranks in the first rank in the inner palace, what will be the identity of his fellow party? Every time the old minister thinks about this, he can't sleep at night, and my reckless country has not yet reached the time when it is as solid as a rock. Moreover, the news obtained from the Supervision Yuan that this Han Gonggong must be one of the two countries of Chu and Tang, and the suspicion of Chu is the greatest. From the suicide of Father-in-law Han to the robbery and murder of today's mission, there must be some stories hidden here!"
The old man who talked to the Damang 'Human Emperor' was the one who had not appeared for a long time and was ranked among the three princes, Cao Jiexing.
"Alas, the Qing family should also know that my recklessness seems to be infinite, but in fact it is precarious, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all corpse vegetarians, and the surrounding four regions are also eyeing me Damang. Some time ago, the father-in-law of the Imperial Palace, who was from the first rank in the inner palace, turned out to be a meticulous work! And today I actually received news that my reckless envoy was actually intercepted and killed by the king of Chuxiang! The widow is now a monk in the realm of 'invincible cold', and he should be invincible in the world, but why is he acting in a way that is constrained everywhere, is it possible that the deduction of the Qin Heavenly Prison is true, and my reckless will really be devoured by the wolves and destroyed by one person? The widow does not dare to think about it, and he does not dare to think about it!"
Cao Jiexing also showed a wry smile, and hurriedly said comfortingly:
"If it is a minister, this three-easy technique is not accurate since the lost part of the previous dynasty was beaten. In ancient times, "Lianshan" has a total of 80,000 words, and "Returning to Tibet" has a total of 4,300 words, but these two heavenly books, now our dynasty contains a total of only 46,000 words, and now only the "Zhou Yi" written by King Wen of the previous dynasty is still complete, so what Qin Tianjian said, Your Majesty does not have to worry too much. ”
After hearing this, the "human emperor" of Damang was a little settled in his heart, this Cao Jiexing is not an ordinary courtier, saying that he is not ordinary is not because he is ranked as the third duke, a very human minister, but his relationship with Damang's "human emperor" is not ordinary, and now Damang's "human emperor" Wang Mang was a student of Cao Jiexing when he was young, before Wang Mang ascended the throne, he has always been known as Mr., after ascending the throne, he was stopped by Cao Jiexing many times, and only then was he commensurate with the Qing family, which shows that he has an important position in Wang Mang's heart.
While the two monarchs and ministers were talking, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the palace:
"Your Majesty, the Yue people are too often asking to see. ”
Hearing that it was too often to ask to see, Wang Mang and Cao Jiexing frowned, and today at the court meeting, Wang Mang suddenly announced his retirement from the court, just to put the matter on hold for a while, but this Taichang came to the door, obviously wanting a result. But Situ Liu Xi did not come, in such a comparison, this Liu Xi understands Wang Mang's mind better than Ren Yueren.
Wang Mang and Cao Jiexing glanced at each other, and said with displeasure on their faces: "Xuan!"
Cao Jiexing looked at the head of Jiuqing who was walking into the hall, and secretly disliked it in his heart, this Ren Yue people have become more and more rude since they entered the fairyland, but all the courtiers face the king, and they have to bow down, but this Ren Yue people obviously forgot this etiquette, just when he wanted to reprimand, Wang Mang opened his mouth:
"What's the matter?"
Qing and Qing's family, although there is only one word difference, but when it is said in the king's mouth, it is a world of difference. Even Ren Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, was suddenly in his heart, and secretly said in his heart that he was reckless, since he entered the fairyland and his cultivation skyrocketed, his mind was obviously not as meticulous as before.
This may be a short-term blindness after being strong, because if you are strong, you will lose your calculations. But the reason why Ren Yue was suddenly a little panicked was that the king in front of him obviously restrained his momentum when he was at the court meeting. At this time, he was a monk of the realm of 'Qiongge', in this Chengming Palace, he couldn't bear Wang Mang's momentum, and then he knew why the realm of 'invincible cold' was known as the peak of the fairyland, and although 'invincible cold' and 'Qiongge' were both immortal monks, the gap between the two was like the gap between the giant bird in the sky and the sparrow in the forest.
Just when Ren Yue was still thinking wildly, Wang Mang spoke again with some impatience:
"What's the matter?"
Ren Yueren hurriedly bowed down and replied:
"Your Majesty, the minister is here at this time for today's court meeting. The matter of the interception and killing of the mission of my Damang Celestial Empire, the minister and Lord Liu had different views, but today before Chen can play, His Majesty withdrew from the court. But if the minister doesn't say this, it is not good for Sheji and Dareckless, so he abruptly surprised His Majesty and asked His Majesty for forgiveness. ”
Wang Mang looked at Ren Yueren, who was bowing in front of the jade case, and there was a playful sneer in his eyes. It is said that the courage of the monk will become greater with the growth of cultivation, and Ren Yueren, who bowed in front of the jade case, is the best example. Just when Wang Mang wanted to open his mouth to reprimand, Cao Jiexing in the hall coughed lightly a few times, and said slowly:
"Your Majesty forgives me, the old minister is unwell today, and he disturbed His Majesty's conversation with Lord Ren. ”
At this time, Ren Yue realized that there was still one person in the hall, and this person turned out to be Sikong, who had not appeared in the court for more than ten years, Cao Jiexing. Ren Yueren's eyes only showed horror at this time, from the time he entered the hall, with the spiritual sense of the fairy realm cultivation, he never realized that there was still a person in this hall, which can only show that Cao Jiexing's realm is much higher than him. Ren Yue people have been recuperating in the imperial tomb for more than ten years, and I heard that the previous generations who are still alive often say that all the monks who step into the fairy land are going to enter the imperial tomb to practice, and the monks of the fairy land are not allowed to walk in the mundane world of the Great Mang Heavenly Empire. Therefore, within the imperial mausoleum, it is the true essence of Da Mang, but today he found that this Cao Jiexing turned out to be a fairy realm monk who was far superior to him, how could this not make him frightened!
Wang Mang understood that Cao Jiexing's few light coughs were to deter Ren Yueren. I also sighed in my heart, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were like Cao picking stars, why worry about not being able to dominate the world. But where did Cao Jiexing, a courtier who is also a teacher and a father, so easy to meet, after stopping the sigh in his heart, he hurriedly said:
"The Qing family is serious, when the widow was young, he asked you to learn, you are the widow's gentleman, please don't torture the disciple so much in the future. ”
Ren Yueren was even more frightened when he heard this, and the one monarch and one minister in the palace looked like this, obviously beating themselves. This Sikong Cao Jiexing used to be Wang Mang's husband, even if Wang Mang is now famous all over the world and is the 'emperor of people', he still respects Cao Jiexing so much. Isn't this just that after knocking himself into the fairyland, he forgot the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, thinking that he could still be indifferent here, he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly:
Now that Your Majesty is the emperor, he has never forgotten the courtesy of treating his husband, if it is passed on to the people, it will definitely be able to achieve a good story!"
Looking at Ren Yueren, who was kneeling in front of the jade case at this time, Wang Mang and Cao Jiexing's eyes finally showed a trace of satisfaction, and it must be known that in the Zhou ceremony, the monarch, the minister, the father, and the son are the kings. The sage once said: The king guards the king's way, and the minister guards the minister's way. The courtiers can't forget their position because of the level of cultivation, and if they eat the king's fortune, they should share their worries for the king, rather than worry about the king. Wang Mang and Cao Jiexing glanced at each other and said:
"Lord Ren is also a little serious, Cao Qing is a widow for a day, and he is a widow in that life, the disciple is for Mr., etiquette must not be abolished! The widow and Cao Qing still have important matters to discuss, if Lord Ren has something, just say it. ”
After Ren Yueren listened to Wang Mang's words, his head lowered even deeper, the king of this palace was obviously extremely dissatisfied with himself, and he was still reminding himself of the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. Qiongge's realm, became an immortal monk, but he found today that not only could not perceive the breath of Wang Mang at the peak of the fairyland, but even the breath of Sikong, who had not appeared for more than ten years, until this time he knew that the fish that could leap over the dragon gate were the most powerful in the group of fish, but even if he jumped over the dragon gate and became a true dragon, don't be overconfident, because this true dragon is only the weakest individual in the dragon group. Thinking of this, Ren Yueren dared to have other ideas, and said busily:
"What Your Majesty has said is very true, and you should remember your Majesty's teachings today. There is no major matter for the minister, but when he was at the court meeting today, he found that many colleagues questioned the deduction of Qin Tianjian, so the minister wanted to ask His Majesty to allow the minister to re-enter the imperial mausoleum, join forces with the sages of Qin Tianjian in the imperial mausoleum, worship the heavens with incense, and deduce it again with the secret technique of the Three Easys, so as to give an explanation to the controversial ministers above the court, and also to avoid His Majesty's troubles. ”
Wang Mang pondered for a moment and said:
"Accurate! Since the Ren Qing family said so, how can the widow not allow it, not to mention that Lord Ren's move is also for my reckless national fortune, then there is Lao Renqing's family. ”
After hearing this, Ren Yue people were like being amnestied, and hurriedly said:
"Thank you Your Majesty for your permission, since Your Majesty and Lord Sikong still have important matters to discuss, the minister will retire first, choose an auspicious day, and the minister will enter the imperial mausoleum again!"
After speaking, Ren Yueren withdrew from the Chengming Palace, leaving Wang Mang and Cao Jiexing, the kings and ministers.
"Mr. has worked hard, Mr. could have not looked at these pickled things in the world, entered the imperial tomb to practice, and entered the realm of 'unbearable cold' as soon as possible. But for the sake of the widow, he still has to stay in this smoky court, watching the intrigue of a group of people who pursue power and profit. If it weren't for Mr. coughing a few times to deter him, he wouldn't know how long he would have been arrogant. And what Ren Yueren said in the end was definitely not what he wanted to say in the first place. A glimpse of the whole leopard, the head of the nine kings of a country is still like this, not to mention the hundred officials under the three princes and nine secretaries, what does Mr. think of the current court of Damang and the current situation of 'Qingning Daotian'?"
Cao Jiexing did not answer after hearing this, but said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, remember, you should no longer call your ministers sir. The minister knows the great talent in His Majesty's heart, so His Majesty cannot have a gentleman!"
Wang Mang was a little confused at this time and asked:
"What do you mean by this? Why can't a widow have a husband?"
Cao Jiexing said slowly:
"In this world, perhaps only the ministers know where His Majesty's ambition lies. The minister knew that His Majesty did not want to be a false 'human emperor' like the kings of the previous dynasty, but wanted to be a real 'emperor' that had never existed in ancient times. What is the emperor? The words white and king are collectively called the emperor. White, the blank too. The king, the king, too. Such an unprecedented emperor must be honored in the world, how can such a supreme existence be taught by Mr.
Wang Mang's heart rose even more at this time, and he hurriedly said:
"What the Qing family said is very true, it is a shallow person. If the widow wants to do what he wants, the Qing family can give the widow a good word. ”
Cao Jiexing looked at the king in front of him, and continued unhurriedly:
"Since Your Majesty says so, then forgive the courtiers for being pretentious. According to the ministers, the kings of all dynasties in ancient times called themselves 'Son of Heaven' to their subjects in order to consolidate their rule. But now it is no longer the era of ancient times when the people's wisdom was not opened, but an era of monks roaming the world. Some powerful monks can even call the wind and rain and move mountains and seas. These monks are stronger in the eyes of the people than this day. Therefore, in this era, if Your Majesty wants to do what he thinks in his heart, the title of 'Son of Heaven' is no longer enough to make the people feel at ease. In the "Yi Guan", it is said: "The saint teaches with Shinto, and the world obeys". And Your Majesty can set up his own teaching, and the whole world can also obey!"
Wang Mang's eyes lit up at this time, his heart was very excited, and he was still holding it there, and hurriedly asked:
"What the Qing family said, every word is beautiful. It's just that the widow is a little confused, if the widow is not called the Son of Heaven, what can he be called? How can he teach the world by setting up his own teaching?"
Cao Jiexing continued with a smile:
"Not to mention that the common people have no reverence for the heavens, and the monks in the world have no respect for the heavens, but what about the 'Dao'? The path of the monks is to ask the Tao and seek the Dharma, and now the people and the monks think that after the 'Tao is profound', they can live forever and become immortals and become gods, so it seems that this monk is just a powerful common people! If His Majesty does not call him the 'Son of Heaven', but the 'Son of the Dao', then not only the ordinary people will be in awe, but even the monks will be in awe. ”
After hearing this, Wang Mang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Not good, not good. ”
Cao Jiexing was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked:
"What does Your Majesty think is wrong?"
Wang Mang said slowly:
"The bad thing about the title of 'Daozi' is that if the widow abolishes the title of the Son of Heaven and calls him the Son of the Dao, then is the widow the son of the Heavenly Dao, or the Daozi of the 'Taishang Dao'? or the Daozi of the 'Dao Court' in the 'Pure Dao Heaven'? The widow thinks that this 'Daozi' does not apply to the body of the widow. ”
After hearing this, Cao Jiexing hurriedly said:
"It was the minister's negligence, and what His Majesty said is not unreasonable. If His Majesty thinks that the title of 'Daozi' is impossible, then what about the 'Emperor'? The 'Emperor of People' is just the emperor of the world, and he has to control the people of the world, but the 'Emperor' is able to rule the 'Qingning Daotian', and with His Majesty's cultivation, with such a title, it will definitely be able to form a kind of deterrent to the monks, which is conducive to His Majesty's rule. ”
Wang Mang was overjoyed when he heard this, and sighed to Cao Jiexing:
"The Qing family's words are very good, and they are very popular with the widows! Those who know me, Cao Qingye! Emperor, the widow will be the emperor, and the emperor of heaven who has never existed! In order to ascend to the throne of this reckless country, the widow has filial piety, respects his sister-in-law, befriends the wise man, and even forced his guilty son to commit suicide to apologize. What did the widows want for decades to gain the support of the government and the opposition and successfully ascend to the throne of the monarch? For the sake of the throne of the Great Mang Monarch of this unified domain? What the widows want is the true unification of the world, the return of the five domains to the heart, and the great Mang Heavenly Dynasty to be able to ascend to the 'Pure Dao Heaven' and become the overlord of one side, and no longer subject to the power of the cultivators. But before all this is realized, the widow wants to change the system. The widows want to take back the land of those gatekeepers, the widows want the slaves in those clans to be free, so that these clans can no longer hide private soldiers, the widows want to take back the right to make iron, salt, and currency, and the widows want to run schools, whether it is the learning of mortals, or the supernatural powers of monks, or the schools run by widows, they must be taught! Mortals practice poetry, books, riding and archery, and later enter the court to participate in politics or expand their territory. The monk learns the magic method and later fights against all the opponents between heaven and earth for the widow. All in all, a gate valve, some clans, can't do what is in the hearts of widows, and only when everyone works together can they show the most powerful power. Therefore, the widow wants to centralize power and create an unprecedented, real 'Celestial Empire'!"
Cao Jiexing had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart, and he knew that Wang Mang had lofty ambitions and was quite forbearant in dealing with people. But he never thought that Wang Mang's ambition would be so terrifying. forced his own son to death just to gain a reputation. Even after paying such a price and ascending to the throne, he still silently endured it for decades. Even if Wang Mang's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of this realm, he has never heard him confide in his heart like this.
But for some reason, Cao Jiexing felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, a country with such an eloquent monarch can only have two results, the end or the new life.
And what worries Cao Jiexing the most is that Wang Mang just said that if he wants the Great Mang Heavenly Dynasty to ascend to the 'Pure Dao Heaven', he must also become a hegemon. Although Cao Jiexing knew that there were some immortal realm monks hidden in the Great Mang Emperor's Mausoleum, if he compared it to those supreme monks in the 'Pure Dao Heaven', he might not even have the qualifications to let the family raise their hands. What frightened Cao Jiexing even more was that it was reported that the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty of the previous generation had angered a certain supreme Dao system in the 'Pure Dao Heaven', and it ended up falling apart.
Looking at Cao Jiexing, whose face was constantly changing, Wang Mang continued to speak:
"Does the Qing family think that the widow is beyond his strength, yes, it doesn't matter, but what the widow wants to say is that even if the mantis arm is a car and the grasshopper shakes the tree, the widow needs to move forward. This 'Qingning Daotian' hides too many secrets, but the widow can't tell you clearly at this time, the Qing family needs to believe in the widow, the widow has its own truth! The world often says, people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, but the widow is a king, and he is above the court, but he can't help himself! Don't say that he is reckless, that is, looking at the five domains, who knows the hard work of the widow?"
I don't know what Wang Mang thought, he suddenly lost his interest in Fang Cai, and seemed a little excited, and Cao Jiexing saw the king who was still in high spirits a moment ago, and suddenly looked a little gloomy, and couldn't help but think of a secret in his heart, and then his eyes widened, as if he understood some shocking secret.
The atmosphere in the Chengming Hall suddenly became weird, and just when Cao Jiexing wanted to speak, Wang Mang opened his mouth lightly:
"The Qing family knows it, but what they think in their hearts must not be said. And the widow is also lacking today, and the affairs of the court will be tossed by Liu Xi and Ren Yueren. Regarding the title and etiquette of the monarch, the secretary should play it as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for Da Mang, and the widow will build a rock-solid supreme heavenly empire in the remaining time!"
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how much time does Da Mang have?"
"It's long, it's short. ”
"How long?"
"Less than 800 years. ”
"Oh. ”
Seeing that Cao Jiexing no longer spoke, Wang Mang turned around and left the Chengming Palace, leaving Cao Jiexing alone, and sat silently in the hall, after a while, Cao Jiexing smiled bitterly and said:
"Eight hundred years is a bit short. ”
