Chapter 501: The Essence of Contradictions
Sure enough, as Zhang Haotian expected, when Jiu Niang told Zhang Haotian's thoughts through the little fox Daji, King Zhou hesitated for several days, and finally did not withdraw the armies of Beihai and Dongyi.
For the king of Xu, Beihai is better to say, but it is just a rebellion, and it only needs to be suppressed.
Dongyi can be involved in whether the king of other emperors can achieve the major event of expanding the territory, glorifying the ancestors, and going down in history, and it is impossible to give up no matter what.
The most important thing is that after more than 10 years of war, Dongyi is about to be wiped out.
Faced with the temptation of the imminent pacification of Dongyi, even if the king knew that giving up Dongyi and Beihai was his only chance, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to create a great cause.
This is human nature, this is the general trend of the world.
Although the King of Xuan got rid of the dream of enlightening Dafa, he was still affected by the general trend of the world.
If the Heavenly Dao wants to seal the gods, even the gods and immortals with vast magical powers are inevitable, not to mention the ordinary people.
In this regard, Zhang Haotian just smiled, and the original intention of helping the king was destroyed, and he didn't care whether he lived or died.
In fact, this is also another opportunity for Zhang Haotian to give King Xu.
As the de facto "protector god" of the Southern Ganbu Continent, he is still willing to give the dynasty under his rule, even if it is the way of heaven, he is still willing to give it a chance to live.
The road was all walked out by himself, and the monarch of the dynasty himself did not want to seize this opportunity, so he couldn't complain about Zhang Haotian.
He said in his heart: "It's really the general trend of the world, and it's unstoppable." Just wait for the end of the god to rescue the little fox, and fulfill Jiu Niang's thoughts. ”
In the face of the general trend of the world, although the king of Xuan at this time has the intention to act, he is a little powerless.
The main reason is that there are not many troops in his hands, and the army that can really be controlled is only more than 100,000 people, and what can he do.
The king was a very capable and wise man, and after discussing with his henchmen, he introduced a series of measures to reassure the people and stabilize the society.
The first thing the king did was to demolish Lutai and appease the people.
With the power of thunder, the king of Xuan wants to arrest and judge Lu Shang, the mastermind of Lutai, and only in this way can he return his innocence.
However, because the king ignored things for a long time, his power was almost hollowed out, and finally the news leaked and Lu Shang escaped.
After Lu Shang came out of the court, he went directly to Xiqi, and finally Xiqi paid homage to the prime minister.
Then the king abolished the disgusting punishment of cannon branding.
This cannon brand was specially designed by Wei Ziqi, Jizi and others for those who were dissatisfied with their dictatorship, and everyone praised it after it was abolished.
In addition, it also includes a series of popular policies such as filling pots, filling wine ponds, pulling out meat forests, opening warehouses, relieving people from famine, sending missions, and recruiting people to the southeast.
Although the policies implemented by the king are all good and very targeted, it is too late.
When people's hearts are broken, how difficult it is to turn them around in a short period of time.
Especially in ancient times, when information was still based on running and telling each other, no matter how bad the reputation of the King of the Rings was, it was impossible to change the status quo in a short period of time.
Those who should have rebelled have rebelled, and it is no longer possible to give up halfway; the people who should have fled have marched from Chaoge to the four countries, and the luck of the Great Shang Dynasty is rapidly draining.
And the most worrying thing is that the interior of the Great Shang Dynasty is extremely empty, especially the defense of Chaoge has fallen to the lowest point in history, and there are only more than 100,000 elite soldiers.
At this time, the total number of rebel armies can add up to hundreds of millions, and the number of people alone can flatten Chaoge.
Once the princes from all walks of life understand the situation of Chaoge, as long as they lead the army to quickly kill Chaoge, Chaoge will be broken.
At this time, after seeing the awakening of the king of Zhou, Wei Ziqi, Jizi and others, who were in a panic, knew that their general situation was gone, and they directly communicated with foreign countries and told the Great Zhou State about the emptiness inside Chaoge, causing Xiqi to send troops in a big way.
After hearing the news that Xiqi and the princes of all walks of life had rebelled and marched towards Chaoge, King Xuan urgently consulted with Wen Taishi, who had just rushed back, as well as his cronies such as Evil Lai, Fei Zhong, and You Hun.
Evil came and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, now the general soldiers from all over the country are guarding important checkpoints, but they are dealing with it properly, and it is difficult for the rebels to break through these levels." I still have more than 100,000 elite soldiers in my hands, and I can give more food and food, and I can also recruit some people into the army, which is enough to deal with foreign enemies. ”
Fei Zhong said: "In addition, we still have many slaves contributed from all over the world, nearly a million of them. Many of them were defeated soldiers. These are special times, and these people are trained to serve as an important reserve force in time. ”
Wen Taishi had just come back, and he didn't expect the situation to be so erosive.
After learning about the situation in detail, Master Wen said cautiously: "This matter is very strange, I beg Your Majesty's permission, I want to return to the division." I need to tell the old man and ask for some solution. Besides, I still have some senior brothers and some Taoist friends who can go out to the mountains to help, and it is not a problem to resist these rabble. ”
The king said excitedly: "Then it will be troublesome to the Taishi, the state affairs are difficult, and I will not be polite to the Taishi, and the Taishi will go early and return early." But if someone comes, I will sweep the couch to greet him. ”
Not to mention how the king of Xuan arranged the government and dealt with the current situation, just saying that Master Wen had to sing a song and go to see the master, which led to the formal confrontation between the disciples of the sect and the disciples of other sects.
Master Wentai's master is the Holy Mother of Jin Ling, and she is one of the four great disciples of the main sect of the Sect of Interception, second only to the senior brother Duobao Daoren, and the head of the female immortals.
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit is highly powerful, and in Zhang Haotian's memory, her Taoism is far superior to the Twelve Golden Immortals, and she is a super strong person who can alone face the three masters of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Fuxian Zhenren, and Cihang Daoren.
After hearing the situation of the Grand Master, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit fell into deep thought.
As one of the four great disciples of the Tongtian Sage, she knew about the canonization of the gods, and she also had opposing opinions: she said in her heart: "He explained the calamity of the teaching, why should he pull the people who intercept the sect into it?"
But the Master Tongtian Saint has already made a decision, and the Holy Mother of Jin Ling can't say anything.
For mundane things, Our Lady of Jin Ling still disdains it, but she can't get used to it, so she said: "Wen Zhong, I won't hide it from you, this is the gods who want to fight and involve the secular kingdom, this is the general trend of the world, even the teacher can't stop it." ”
Wen Taishi was shocked: "Then there is no hope for the Great Shang? The Great Shang monarch was framed, and he has always been politically clear before, so if he didn't suffer this catastrophe, he also asked the master to show the way." ”
Our Lady of Jin Ling sighed: "Wen Zhong, whether the politics is clear or not is a matter of the past, and the current situation is that someone wants to raise a Zhou Dynasty to kill and rob. However, whether or not the killing can be overcome is not something that someone can control, and even a saint cannot help people to survive the killing and robbery. If you can't get through, not only will the Great Shang Dynasty be protected, but you will also be able to get luck, and maybe you will be able to change your fate and make a breakthrough in cultivation. ”
When Master Wen heard this, his eyes also lit up: "Thank you, Master, for mentioning it, the apprentice knows how to do it!"
Things are both sides and contradictory. For the killing of the calamity, the creatures who have crossed the past will naturally benefit greatly, and the creatures who can prevent the calamity will also be rewarded richly, and the luck of the person who has crossed the calamity will also be rewarded.
This is also the reason why the 3,000 demon gods wanted to kill him when Pangu was about to open the sky.
Pangu Kaitian will naturally get monstrous luck and achieve another breakthrough in cultivation, if it is stopped, 3000 demon gods will also get monstrous luck, and cultivation will also break through.
This is the charm and essence of spear and shield, which are both interrelated and transformable into each other.
