Chapter 375 Moral Saint

Chapter 375 Moral Saint

…………

Yang Yi strode out without any imperial edict or other tokens. As the marshal of the world's military and the most trusted person by the emperor, he was the emperor's will in the past.

Forbidden troops outside the city.

Since ancient times, the imperial guards have been synonymous with lax discipline, because most of the soldiers in the imperial guards are children of powerful people. They generally come to gild rather than suffer.

But this is not the case for the Imperial Army under Yang Yi's control. Whether they are sons of good families or sons of powerful men, they are all trained like steel.

There was no word or noise in the camp. The guards guarding the camp looked neat and tidy, as if they were carved out of the same mold.

Yang Yi's figure appeared in the camp.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the general!!"

The soldiers quickly gathered and roared in the mountains. Everyone looked at Yang Yi with fanatical admiration.

They were trained by Yang Yi, who was a perfect saint in their eyes.

"Xiaowu, inform the three armies to come here for review immediately!" Yang Yi took out the tiger charm from his arms while speaking.

"yes!"

The soldiers went down with the tiger talisman.

Soon, 30,000 people in Wuyangyang gathered.

"See the Generalissimo!!" The energy and blood surged into the sky, forming a white tiger with teeth and claws, an iron-blooded and powerful army.

A truly strong army is never created by killing alone.

Instead, he ate and lived with the soldiers and respected his subordinates. Yang Yi is such a person. Perhaps in Yang Xiao's eyes, Yang Yi is a ruthless and unjust father, but in the eyes of these soldiers, Yang Yi is closer than their fathers.

Among the 30,000 people in front of him, Yang Yi could almost call each other by name; imagine that a high-ranking official, a Duke of Wei, could easily call out the names of insignificant soldiers. This is so exciting that it is enough to make people willing to die for it. .

"Set off!!"

Yang Yi rode on the dragon-blooded horse and rode with great speed.

The army set off along the official road. Along the way, people stopped to watch. Some wanted to escape, but when they saw the flag of Wei Guogong, they were no longer afraid.

"The flag of Wei Guogong!!"

"It's Duke Wei!!"

The people cheered.

Yang Yi is a god-like figure in the eyes of the common people. He can govern the country with literature and bring peace to the country, and can pacify the world with military force.

In the army, he is a god of war with great martial arts and invincible; among the people, he is a moral saint. He stipulates the etiquette system of the people and establishes the rules of the monarch, ministers, father, son and husband and wife. He is the book and he is the Tao.

The army rushed to the frontier.

Somewhere in the city, a woman screamed in agony.

I saw a man in the room holding a wooden stick and beating his wife.

"How dare you to talk to this man? If it weren't for the street, you two wouldn't be allowed to hug each other?" the man said angrily.

"No...that's my cousin!!" The woman's face was black and blue, unwilling to refute.

"How dare you talk back? Your old Lin family claims to be a scholarly family. Haven't you learned from Yang Shengren's saying that the husband is the guide for the wife?"

After the woman said this, she was beaten even more severely by her husband.

The man was a scholar and highly respected Yang Yi. In his eyes, Yang Yi was a saint.

Boom, boom, boom! !

In the alley in the north of the city, a team beat gongs and drums and carried a big red sedan chair.

This is not marriage, but sacrifice for love.

Dali advocates chastity, which was originally a normal part of the relationship between husband and wife. It was just for the wife to keep chastity for her husband. Later, the people below gradually increased the emphasis, and even widows also kept chastity. In serious cases, they even committed suicide for love. Those who died for love were regarded as local moral models. , The family will be famous for centuries, and the family will be prosperous.

A haggard-looking woman walked out of the sedan.

The woman was young, probably less than twenty years old, and her husband died within less than a year of marriage.

The woman pinched the corner of her clothes and her fingers turned white. She didn't want to die, but everyone wanted her to die, including her parents.

She couldn't resist or run away, otherwise she would be despised by everyone.

"I hate you!!" He walked step by step to the wellhead, gritted his teeth and jumped in under the expectant eyes of officials, neighbors, relatives and family members.

Suddenly, the gongs and drums were noisy, the county magistrate personally presented a chastity plaque, and the girl's parents wept with joy.

In such a large city, parents control their children, husbands beat their wives and daughters, and bureaucrats squeeze their subordinates. In the officialdom, the title "adult" comes from this.

Some people were cast aside or even died for violating ethics.

This is the great world brought about by Saint Yang Yi.

Yang Yi's ethics regulated the civil order. On the one hand, it also guided people to be good. On the other hand, it also produced many disadvantages, causing people's thinking to become rigid and corrupt, like a pool of stagnant mud.

But for the imperial court, the emergence of ethics also greatly strengthened its control over the people.

Southwest border.

Here is another scene.

"The Taoist sect is treating illnesses for free! People from the Taoist sect are treating illnesses for free!!"

In the morning, the village chief beat gongs and drums, and the doors of houses in the village opened one after another, and men, women and children came out.

"I'm coming!"

"Don't grab it!"

Accompanied by the laughter of children, people lined up at the entrance of the village.

Soon, several people dressed as Taoist priests came here with large and small bags of things, and treated the villagers one by one.

After watching the disease, the village chief led an inspection of crops, water conservancy, left some seeds, and then left to continue to the next place.

This is the territory controlled by the Dao Sect. Compared with the depressing Da Li, it is a little more relaxed and cheerful.

The largest city in the mountains and forests is called Xia City.

Xia City is built on the mountain and is majestic and tall.

In the highest city lord's palace, Yang Xiao stood by the window and overlooked all living beings.

"Yang Yi, you are wrong. Cang Zhen actually knows that etiquette and food and clothing are enough to understand honor and disgrace. Let the people eat first is the kingly way."

Yang Yi followed the path of destroying desires, advocating the preservation of natural principles and destroying human desires; he promoted the so-called principles regardless of rich or poor, old or young, men or women, as if he thought that as long as people understood etiquette, everything would get better.

Such promotion of ethical ethics will eventually become a tool for the powerful to exploit the poor.

But Yang Xiao is different. He has lived a hard life since he was a child and understands what it feels like to be hungry. When a person's eyes are green with hunger and his body is shivering with cold, there is no so-called etiquette in his heart. At that time, a person is a beast. , a terrifying beast that eats people.

So he wanted to start with eating. Only when the stomach is full can people get rid of the material desires of beasts. At this time, it will be easy to educate them.

Based on this concept, Yang Xiao asked the Taoist master for Qianjin seeds.

"Obviously, my idea has been successful, Yang Yi. One day, I will let you bow your head and admit your mistakes and understand who is right. Reveal your true face to the world." Yang Xiao's eyes were burning with hatred.

Yang Yi was nominally his father, but the moment he learned the truth, the role of his father was already dead.

If he meets Yang Yi in the future, he will definitely use the most cruel means to avenge his mother and give her justice.

Yang Xiao returned to the house and wrote an order.

"Send another 10,000 people to the mountains and capture all the savage tribes."

Once the southwest mountains are unified, they will have the capital to advance, attack, retreat and defend.

You can attack when you advance, you can defend when you retreat, and you can move when the time comes to seize the opportunity.

This is Yang Xiao's current strategy.

Of course, the most important decisions are made by the two powers of elegance and mystery. In fact, Yang Xiao's original idea was more radical. Yang Xiao originally wanted to win quickly. He believed in the theory of quick victory and felt that quick victory was the most important. Otherwise, if it continues to be delayed, the other party will become stronger and stronger with the foundation of controlling the land of China.

When the Dao Sect's large forces come over, they will also suffer huge losses.

Of course, there are personal grudges involved, which is unknown.

Maybe Yang Xiao just wanted to quickly prove himself in front of Yang Yi. In any case, he had no way to refute the decision made by the two powerful men.

However, Yang Xiao believed that one day, he would grow to the point where he would be on equal footing with Fenghua Xuanji and even the Taoist Master.

…

The mountains are dotted with small cities. Most of the cities are only connected by one or two narrow mountain roads. The terrain disadvantage of the mountains in the southwest is such that it is difficult to attack and manage. It requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources to connect them together. A little trouble. Even the connection between cities was cut off.

Once a big force forcibly integrates the southwest mountains, relying on the experience of the struggle between man and nature here, it will also be a good army.

As the Taoist sect's power grew, its power gradually spread to rural towns outside the mountains.

In the city, Daomen Taiyi tablets are worshiped in various places. The three elders took the lead in setting up a Taomen-specific township organization. They are responsible for the distribution of thousands of pounds of rice, dredging of water conservancy, poverty relief, and regulating relations between villages.

Life is getting better day by day, and many people are turning to Taoism.

This change has also been reflected in the nearby Qingshan City.

In the city, the township organizes people to build porridge sheds, provide free medical treatment, teach for free, etc.

On this day, a person came from outside the city.

This man has a weathered face, a white washed shirt, and looks like a shabby scholar. He is penniless and lonely in middle age.

The scholar's clothes are shabby, his expression is calm, and he seems to have great ambitions.

There was a group of people lining up not far away. The scholar stepped forward and asked the old man next to him: "Old man, what are you doing?"

"Drink porridge, otherwise you will have to wait in line." The old man smiled kindly.

"Oh? Which shop has such good business?" the scholar asked curiously.

"It doesn't cost money. This is given out for free by the good people of Taoism. Anyone can drink it." Speaking of Taoism, the old man gave a thumbs up and praised it repeatedly.

"Those free clinics and free schools next to them are also from Taoist schools? Are they all free of charge? Not even Shu Xiu?"

"No, no."

The scholar thought for a long time and asked, "What is the Taoist diagram?"

"Why are you vomiting? It's just because the Taoist sect is kind-hearted because of the hardship we live in. Besides, what do we have that is worthy of others' covetousness?"

The scholar left without saying a word, and there was a slight fluctuation in Gujing Wubo's expression.

"What a weirdo." The old man muttered and then ignored him.

The scholar observed the scenery of the small town along the road. The appearance of the people here was different from that of ordinary border towns. Most of the people in border towns had yellow faces and dull expressions, which were usually caused by the hardship of life.

But this place is different from those places. They are full of energy, rosy-cheeked, not so much intrigues, and polite and sensible.

As a member of the empire's ruling class, he was not happy about the changes in the people, but instead felt worried.

All this is not brought about by the ethical code, but by the so-called Taoism.

The people nearby clearly recognized Daomen.

With doubts, the scholar walked to the Taoist lecture hall.

The neatly dressed and handsome Taoist priest kept talking about the Taoist philosophy, and the scholar listened attentively for a while.

The Taoist sect is different from other sects. They do not force people to believe in a certain god. They just explain the principles and common etiquette for people to understand the world. There are also some father-son outlines, but the upper classes such as kings and fathers also have some more obligations. Like Yang Yi's theory, the king's father has absolute authority.

The scholar was Yang Yi. When he suddenly heard about this evil theory, Gu Jing Wubo's expression finally broke. He blushed and murmured to himself: "Heiral theory, Yang Xiao, you beast, I should have killed you if I knew it. "

Yang Yi felt that his ideas were challenged like never before, which was extremely terrifying.

At this time, a person appeared quietly next to Yang Yi.

"Sir, what should we do with the people in this city?" the soldier asked.

"They have been bewitched by the evil spirit and cannot turn back. Kill them all." Yang Yi's face was solemn, even with a hint of madness, without any moral saintly demeanor.

"Yes!" The soldiers left quietly.

He admitted that Yang Xiao and Daomen were indeed the strongest enemies he had ever encountered in his life.

The reason why he is an enemy of life and death is not determined by his realm. No matter how strong the enemy is, Yang Yi is confident that he can defeat it.

Taoist philosophy conflicts with one's own, or is even completely opposite. This is the most important point.

The reason why the people here were massacred was because they had been brainwashed by the Taoist sect. In order to prevent the Taoist sect's evil ideas from spreading, they could only eradicate them.

"Not only you, but also other places outside the city must be eradicated. For the sake of the world, I can only sacrifice you."

Yang Yi suddenly became murderous.

He had previously thought about going straight to his lair, but now he changed his mind.

Once the Taoist sect is allowed to grow, it will be like a single spark that can start a prairie fire. You must be decisive and do not be benevolent as a woman. This is the most appropriate approach.

Boom, boom, boom! !

There was a dull drum beat from heaven and earth, and the drum sound seemed to affect everyone's hearts and ignite the blood in their bodies.

Dong dong dong...

The sound of the drums got closer and closer, and the uncomfortable feeling of blood boiling became more and more intense. Many people with weak constitutions fainted and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the whole city stopped and looked up at the sky, because the sound of drums came from all directions and they could only look at the sky.

"This is the imperial court's drum! Don't panic, everyone!!"

The knowledgeable people knew what it was and told the people next to them. A series of voices passed and everyone finally calmed down.

Soon, the city gate guards saw that it was the imperial guards and opened the city gate under their orders.

"kill!!"

The first thing the Forbidden Army did when they came in was to draw their swords and kill people.

"Mother!!"

"Ms. sir!"

For a time, there were screams and screams. Wherever the iron cavalry went, rivers of blood flowed, and families were destroyed.

The Li Dynasty army took action against their people, and they did not understand why they were killed until their death.

Maybe someone will know about it in the future, and they will probably wonder, why did they have to be killed just for eating something from Taoism?

The bustling streets are bleeding with blood.

Yang Yi walked among them, and the blood paved the way for him, paving the way to the supreme moral saint. (End of chapter)
