Chapter 118: Chivalry Violates the Forbidden Force
"Lord Wang, could it be that those martial arts sects are so good in your heart?" After the Great Sage was silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked, with a thick unwillingness in his tone.
In this way, he naturally admitted that what Zhou Yi said about the law was true. But if he wants to recognize the martial arts sect in his heart, it is absolutely impossible.
Although the Holy Courtyard has such and such bad places, it is a fact that the Holy Dao Monks crush the Martial Dao Monks. The monks of the Holy Order, who studied literature and science, also agreed with the secular rites. Even if the people in the Holy Courtyard are degenerate and put the Holy Courtyard and personal selfish interests above the interests of the state, it cannot be denied that the Holy Dao monks are more obedient to the rules of etiquette than the martial artists.
In the eyes of him, the Imperial Holy Dao monks, and the vast majority of civilians, those warriors were typical examples of those who did not abide by the law of etiquette and did not know culture and religion. Vulgar and unbearable, fighting at every turn, is the label of a warrior.
Therefore, he felt that King Wucheng belittled the Holy Courtyard so much, and now he planned to integrate the martial arts sect with the intention of mobilizing the people, which was the tendency to promote martial arts and suppress literature. In this way, he has no choice but to say a word to remind him.
Hearing this, Zhou Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The Great Sage's words are wrong! This king has said that these martial arts sects are good birds! Just as the Great Sage said at the beginning, chivalry is forbidden by martial arts! This king also thinks this very well, but this king sees it more comprehensively than you. In today's empire, there are problems in both martial arts and holy ways, and the true portrayal of chivalry and martial arts and scholars violating the law is true.
The reason why this king wants to target these martial arts sects is to unify the martial arts forces of the empire. At the beginning, the suppression of the military academy, the restriction of the literary academy, and the wanton personnel transfer in the center of the imperial court were to standardize and limit the expansion of the power of the sacred academy. Then the Wenwu Academy set up by this king, I think Mr. Jiang Lifu has already told you, this is the preparation that this king will do for the future selection of officials in the imperial court. In the future, anyone who is inferior to the Wenwu Academy will not be allowed to be a commander in the army, a minister in the court, and a chief official even in the local counties!
In the king's heart, the harmony of civil and military affairs, yin and yang, is the cornerstone of the empire's longevity. Whoever wants to challenge this must be prepared to be liquidated by this king. ”
In the end, there was already a hint of murder in his words.
The Dark Legion has descended, and the Western Continent must have been killed in a river of blood. If the Qinling Empire doesn't hurry up to sort out the country, how can it resist it in the face of a steady stream of dark minions from the north of the empire in the future!
Moreover, what the Great Sage said was by no means false. Those martial arts sects were indeed pretending to be extremely well-behaved and low-key in the face of the Holy Dao monks. But when facing ordinary people, or fellow people in the rivers and lakes, they are not so polite! They disagree with each other, fight in a big way, and even for the sake of a little profit, things that kill people happen from time to time.
This is not only done by people in the Holy Fire Sect, but also by those famous sects that flaunt it. As for the small gangs and factions in the rivers and lakes, they do not have the slightest scruples about reputation, and they are even more unscrupulous to do this kind of thing.
It is precisely because of this that it is no wonder that the martial arts sect is hateful in the eyes of the world and is abandoned by the mainstream of the empire.
"The prince is far-sighted, a certain shame!" The Great Sage was impressed by his sky-high ambition, although he had repeatedly guessed the purpose of Zhou Yi's actions with Jiang Lifu and the people in the Holy Hall before. Everyone also knew that his plan was very big, but they didn't expect that his ambition was to integrate the empire's civil and military realms, which was really not something that ordinary people could imagine.
However, if he can really do it, then he will be famous for a hundred years!
After nearly a year of deeds, and his exhaustive plans, to be honest, the Great Sage was still inclined to believe in his abilities in his heart. So, with such great achievements, why don't you help these people, especially the Rite Academy, and leave a name in history in the future!
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, he still couldn't let go of his personal fame and fortune, and he couldn't let go of the interests of the court. The word fame and fortune is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to really do it. At least he can't do it, and Zhou Yi, hehe, I'm afraid only he knows about it!
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he didn't care about the Great Sage's statement. Anyway, everything he should have said has been said, and it is up to him to decide exactly how to choose, and his attitude also represents the attitude of this temple of the temple.
With the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and the heirloom jade seal in Zhao Mu's hand, no matter which of the two of them is, they can be easily crushed in the face of the people in the Holy Courtyard. If they are willing to follow the general trend, they can continue to maintain their position, and if they have any wrong thoughts, then the fate of Lin Bo and others is a lesson for them.
"Lord Wang, the Holy Hall of the Rite Courtyard is willing to assist you in accomplishing such a grand event for the ages, and return the empire to a foundation for thousands of generations!" At present, Zhou Yi's attitude has almost made it clear that it means that those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish! Moreover, Zhou Yi has already stated his true purpose, and if he does not have a clear attitude, I am afraid it will not be so easy to explain the past. Therefore, he is very straightforward and expresses a supportive and docile attitude.
Nodding, at this time, Zhou Yi looked at the Great Sage with a straight face, gently patted him on the shoulder with one hand, and said: "The Great Sage is wise! The empire is prosperous, and the Holy Dao can prosper!
"What the prince said is very true. It's just that this time, all the sages accompanied him, plus Tianjimen and Taohuawu, as well as the prince's personal guards, there were more than 1,000 people up and down. Just to deal with the Holy Fire Sect, isn't it a bit of a fuss?! If you want to deal with not only the Holy Fire Sect, but also want to subdue the Seven Great Sects, it seems that you are in a bit of a hurry. Of course, this is just a little bit of a superficial opinion, and please don't be surprised!" "Since he has decided to support Zhou Yi, he no longer has scruples when he speaks, and directly expresses the doubts in his heart.
The fleet has entered the East China Sea through the guò sea, and the endless ocean waves are surging, and the land behind it is gradually drifting away.
Zhou Yi stared at this beautiful scenery that he had never seen before, and his expression was much more cheerful.
The Great Sage's doubts not only represent himself, but also many people's hearts. A mere Holy Fire Cult does not need to work so many masters. Even the seven major factions led by the Qinling Sword Sect were enough for the Holy Fire Sect to drink a pot. Not to mention that there are also masters of the Tianji Gate and Jinyi Gate under Min Min behind them, as for the half-elf guards around Yisheng, they are all innate martial artists, and in this case, they are not very powerful.
With such a strong strength, it was completely possible to destroy the Holy Fire Sect several times. He also dispatched more than a dozen sages, and Taohuawu once again dispatched eight Great Dao Stage masters to support. These people are not stupid, so they naturally know at a glance that their purpose may be the seven major factions led by the Qinling Sword Sect.
Relying on the more than ten saints around him, it was more than enough to deal with the martial artists of these seven major factions. But these seven major factions are not pouring out, and there must still be many masters left in their sects. In their opinion, it seems that they are in such a hurry.
"The king didn't intend to wipe them out, but he wanted to force them to bow down to the court. Even the Holy Fire Cult, this king has no intention of destroying them. As long as they are willing to take refuge in the court and serve the court, it is not impossible for this king to let them go.
Of course, what the Great Sage said was extremely true, and although this king planned so, he also seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. However, this king also has a hard time, and seeing that the changes in the mainland are imminent, he is a little anxious in his heart. It is difficult for the king to say this today, but in the future, you will understand the king's suffering. There's no time to wait!"
Zhou Yi retracted his gaze, looked at the Great Sage with burning eyes, and let out a meaningful wry smile.
Patted him on the shoulder again, then paced towards the cabin, leaving the Great Sage standing blankly at the bow of the ship.
The Great Sage had only one thought in his heart at this time, that is, what did King Wu Cheng mean by the changes in the continent!?
Could it be that the Orc Kingdom is going to invade the south again!? However, every year in the autumn and winter season, don't those uncivilized barbarian mongrels all go south! Boom, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in his heart, and the face of the Great Sage turned extremely ugly. Damn orcs, it must be that they want to go south in a big way! When he thought of the tragic scene of the orcs who he witnessed in the south, his heart tightened for a while.
The more I thought about it in my heart, the more I felt that the changes in the continent that Zhou Yi said were related to the orc kingdom. Although he didn't know where Zhou Yi got the news, it didn't prevent him from automatically making up for Zhou Yi's statement.
This is the upcoming orc chaos, and there are a group of Holy Courtyard Sages with their own ghosts in the cabin over there, and the situation in the empire is really not optimistic!
Comparing the actions of Zhou Yi and these saints of the Holy Academy, the great sage was already convinced of the sentence "Chivalry violates the prohibition with force, and scholars use literature to mess with the law" at this time. Zhou Yi's previous restrictive measures on the Holy Courtyard were very rough and unreasonable in his previous opinion, but when he looked at it now, he could understand Zhou Yi's anxiety and helplessness.
Thinking of the group of sages in the cabin who were impatiently pushing themselves to test Zhou Yi's purpose, the Great Sages suddenly felt that they were like a group of clowns. In his opinion, Zhou Yi is a great sage who does not hesitate to make a name for the country and the people and the holy way, while those saints of the Holy Court are villains who abolish the public for personal purposes and disregard the public welfare. Of course, he would never admit in his heart that he was with them in the first place.
His mentality changed, and when he returned to the cabin, he suddenly walked with strength, and the corners of his mouth even pulled a sneer.
When the hatch was opened, the Holy Courtyard Sages in the cabin sat on two sides, silent. On one side were the five sages of the Military Academy, the Zongheng Holy Academy, the Ink Academy, and the Law Academy, who had the most contact with Zhou Yi, and were also subdued by the endless means in Zhou Yi's hands. Therefore, they don't think that they can compete with Zhou Yi. On the other side were the seven other saints of the Bun Academy, and the thoughts of these people were clear to the Great Sage. Because it was they who let themselves test Zhou Yi's details, especially whether the Human Emperor Sword was really taken away by Zhao Min. In their opinion, don't look at Zhou Yi's promotion to the rank of Sage, but after all, the time is still short, and the cultivation of a holy power cannot be compared with those of them at all. If there is no such heavy treasure as the imperial sword, it is impossible to say that they can correct Zhou Yi on the spot here. In this way, the situation of the Imperial Court will return to the way it was at the beginning, and the Holy Court will still control the world.
As he entered the cabin, both eyes turned to him at the same time. Then he smiled to himself, didn't speak, walked straight to the side that supported Zhou Yi and sat down, and then closed his eyes and said nothing.
This attitude has already shown his attitude, and it has also misled the judgment of the Sage of the Academy. This group of people with ulterior motives sank in their hearts and looked at each other, so they had to sigh helplessly and give up the unrealistic ideas they had started.
