Chapter 299: The Breakthrough: Love
"How to transform?"
Bai Qi asked curiously, and the others also looked at Chen Li.
Chen Li glanced at Jiang Changsheng and said, "First, the emperor appointed a crown prince too early, which resulted in the next emperor being old when he ascended the throne. This needs to be changed, but it is not easy to change because it means overthrowing the eldest son. Second, the civil and military ministers of several dynasties have controlled power, which makes it difficult for the new emperor to control them. Even if they are loyal ministers, they will become arrogant and think they know the world better than the emperor. Third, the aristocratic families are powerful and have mastered unique skills, and the gap between them and the people of the world is getting bigger and bigger. This is the unchanging truth of each dynasty. Often at this time, civil strife will arise."
"There are other problems, such as the emperor's talent, but these problems can be solved at once. That is to let the Great Kingdom fall into chaos. When the Great Kingdom is on the verge of collapse, we can support a new emperor and formulate new rules. At that time, no one will dare to stop us."
His words made everyone fall into deep thought.
The Sword God asked, "You dare to propose such an idea, are you hoping that Daozu will back you up?"
Chen Li nodded and said, "That's right. Dajing has Daozu. As long as Daozu doesn't want to give up Dajing, Dajing will not perish. So no matter how chaotic it is, it doesn't matter. It just makes the people suffer. But from the perspective of the country, if we want Dajing to go further and live longer, what's wrong with sacrificing a generation?"
Although it is cruel, it is true.
Chen Li is no longer the passionate scholar he used to be. He has been to the battlefield, visited the common people, experienced several emperors, and been suppressed. He has long understood that everything has gains and losses, and there is no perfect strategy.
Ji Wujun said: "It is true that only civil strife can cleanse the situation, but when the world is in chaos, it is easier for a monarch with great talent and strategy to emerge. If the fate of Dajing is still there, there will definitely be a wise monarch who will rise. When the Holy Dynasty was almost collapsed, the Ji family also stood up and led the Holy Dynasty to a new prosperity."
Mu Lingluo looked at Jiang Changsheng, curious about what he thought.
Jiang Changsheng is different from everyone else. He is not only Dajing's protector, but also the ancestor of the royal family. How could he bear it?
Jiang Changsheng didn't say anything and drank tea alone.
Bai Qi asked in surprise, "Does it have to be this way? Wouldn't it be better if the master just took action and replaced the noble families, ministers, and the emperor?"
Chen Li shook his head and said, "One move will affect the entire body. There are too many people and interests involved. Moreover, doing so will cause the people to abandon Daozu. We can't just keep killing and killing until no one dares to oppose us. If that happens, Dajing will surely fall apart. Daozu's status is only suitable for giving people hope in times of crisis."
At this point, he sighed. All of Dajing's external enemies had been dealt with by Daozu, but now internal problems also required Daozu's intervention. He felt ashamed of himself.
"Or you can just become the emperor, Daozu. After all, you are also a member of the Jiang family, and you are an immortal, so you should not be restricted by your luck and lifespan. Until now, you have not been integrated with the great luck."
Ye Xundi said with a smile, and Ji Wujun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
In fact, in the minds of Ji Wujun and Bai Zun, Daozu's ascension to the throne is the most promising.
In the world of martial arts, the emperor cannot be weak. Even if he is not the strongest, he must be one of the most powerful to be able to suppress the world.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Let it be. No matter what happens to the country, the development of Dajing's martial arts will not stop, but will only become stronger and stronger. If the imperial power is really insufficient, we can support another emperor."
In his opinion, the current problems of Dajing are trivial matters that any dynasty will experience. As long as Dajing does not perish, it will be fine. As for his believers, as long as their faith in him reaches a certain level, they can enter the divine world and obtain unique skills, which is enough to make them stand out and escape the suffering of the bottom.
Jiang Changsheng does not have the energy to take care of those who lack faith throughout their lives.
Thinking of traveling around the universe, he had to prepare for his second sermon. Although he practiced Taoism, he also mastered many martial arts skills. He could apply what he learned to other situations, answer questions for believers, and even teach them his unique skills.
I hope that the next time I preach, his incense value will increase faster.
Chen Li stayed in the courtyard for half a day and then went down the mountain. He had a mansion in the capital and planned to recuperate for decades and enjoy family happiness. When troubled times came and a wise leader showed up, he would be reborn.
…
"Wang Chen was born in the 32nd year of Taihe and died on the battlefield between Dajing and Qiangliang tribe. His good deeds outweigh his bad deeds, so he is qualified to become a ghost soldier in the underworld. You can also choose to wait for the opportunity to reincarnate."
In the underworld, the indifferent voice of the Chief of Punishment echoed.
The ghost standing in the hall looked up and asked, "Becoming a ghost soldier, but being a ghost soldier forever?"
"No, the underworld has its own order and rules. Becoming a ghost soldier means entering the ghost path. One day, you may become a ghost immortal. It can be regarded as escaping the suffering of reincarnation, but you will also lose the joy of the world."
Hearing this, Wang Chen immediately said: "Then I want to be a ghost soldier!"
The chief criminal nodded, waved his pen at him, sent a force of cause and effect, and then asked the ghost officials on both sides to send him down.
Not long after, Jiang Che walked in.
"There are more and more dead souls in Dajing recently. Many of them have been waiting for several years. If they don't reincarnate, it will be bad."
Jiang Che said worriedly. He paused and said, "Does the Taoist have any instructions?"
Xing Shou replied, "Don't worry. The Yellow Spring has already arisen, and the cycle of reincarnation will be established soon. There is no need for Daozu to worry. As the number of dead souls in the underworld increases, the causal power of the underworld is also getting stronger. It is inevitable that the order of reincarnation will be born. I plan to establish the Ten Kings of Hell. What do you think?"
Jiang Che said: "That is naturally a good thing, otherwise all the materials would be piled up in this hall, which would be too inefficient."
The Chief of the Criminal Law nodded. He had to think carefully about how to choose the Ten Kings of Hell.
Jiang Che did not disturb him. After arriving in the underworld, his status with Xing Shou was reversed. He was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, he respected Xing Shou very much. After all, he was raised by Xing Shou since he was a child.
…
In the seventh year of Dihuang, the emperor stopped the purge of the court, and the world finally stabilized.
Dajing's martial arts took off again, thanks to the corpses of the Qiangliang tribe. Each Qiangliang warrior was as huge as a mountain, and any distribution of them could benefit many warriors. The people in Jiang Changsheng's courtyard even enjoyed the physical body of the Qiangliang tribe king, and their strength increased extremely fast, and they all made breakthroughs.
Jiang Tianming has already reached the third cave heaven, and Ji Wujun has reached the ninth cave heaven. She is now concentrating on becoming the Saint King of Martial Arts.
Jiang Tianming still looks young now. Although he is mentally mature, it is difficult for others to treat him as an adult.
It was the beginning of autumn and the courtyard was quiet.
Jiang Changsheng was meditating and practicing in the Taoist temple. Since the Zixiao Palace was built, he moved in to practice and took some time out every month to go out. Everyone did not feel disappointed but relieved. Without Jiang Changsheng in the yard, they were more relaxed.
Today is a rare quiet day.
Jiang Changsheng is paying attention to Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian and Ping An.
These three brats have already reached the fourth cave heaven, but Ping An actually caught up with them. That strange flower is not simple. It has transformed Ping An's qualifications. Even Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian are a little envious. What kind of luck is this? He can transform just by picking up a flower.
The three of them traveled deep into the wilderness with the spirit wind of the spirit race. Recently, the three of them actually encountered a human tribe in the wilderness. This tribe is isolated from the world and has less than one million people, but each one is powerful.
After some friction, the four entered the tribe and gained the friendship of the tribe. A strange thing happened. Jiang Jian actually fell in love with the daughter of the tribal chief. As a result, he offended many men in the tribe, which triggered a series of stories.
Jiang Changsheng listened to their thoughts and found them interesting.
If he also loved adventure, would he experience a similar life?
Jiang Jian has lived in Dajing for so many years, but he has never married or had children. Although he has had occasional fleeting romances, his heart has always been with the world. Now that he has met love, he has fallen into unprecedented entanglement.
If he stayed, he would never be able to return to Dajing in this life. If he didn't stay, it would be difficult to go back. How dangerous would it be to travel with his sweetheart?
Lin Haotian was free and easy, thinking that as long as he was in the divine world, he could meet his friends in Dajing no matter how far away they were. He was alone anyway, and he was not qualified to repay Jiang Changsheng, so it was good for him to stay in that tribe, at least he could learn the martial arts there.
Although this tribe is isolated from the world, its martial arts are extremely powerful, allowing Lin Haotian to feel the charm of ancient martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes.
He had no opinion on Jiang Jian's choice and decided to let Jiang Jian make the decision himself. The current distance would definitely not be a problem in the future. Even if Jiang Jian could not cross it, he could cross it.
This is his most beloved grandson, so Jiang Changsheng naturally favors him.
"What's the situation with the Mu family?" Jiang Changsheng asked.
Mu Lingluo was meditating beside him, and only she could come in and practice with him.
Hearing this, Mu Lingluo opened his eyes and said, "It's fine. Although we are fighting openly and secretly with other families, don't worry about it. I don't want to interfere. As generations of disciples grow up, many things are no longer under my control. Brother Changsheng, you don't have to care too much about my opinion. My heart is definitely with you now."
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "You worry too much. I just happened to hear what Jiang Jian was thinking."
He told about Jiang Jian's situation.
Mu Lingluo finally understood. She blinked and said, "My parents are naturally concerned about my lifelong affairs, but how can the secular etiquette of the mortal world hold you back?"
She was quite open-minded about it. In her opinion, it was absurd to let Daozu marry her in a formal way, which would damage Daozu's status. She also used this reason to deal with her parents. Although her parents were dissatisfied, they had the support of her grandfather Mu Xuangang, so they could only agree.
In fact, she understood that her parents wanted Jiang Changsheng to marry her in a formal ceremony just to take advantage of the prestige of the Taoist Ancestor. The current status of the Mu family was inextricably linked to the Taoist Ancestor.
She did not tell her grandfather and parents about the relationship between Jiang Changsheng and the Jiang family, and no one in the world knew about it.
"Brother Changsheng, can you tell me the story of Hua Jianxin?" Mu Lingluo couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of this before?"
Mu Lingluo moved closer to him and said, "What you said before was too general. Can you be more detailed, including the story of Jiang Ziyu?"
For some reason, ever since she heard the name Jiang Ziyu, she felt inexplicably close to him, and she couldn't help but feel happy when she heard people praising Taizong.
