Chapter 370 Reform (please ask for monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Zhong Shenxiu listened carefully.

He actually doesn't know much about the high-level people in this world. Some of the information comes from Zhang Taiyi's soul.

And this guy has been dead for a long time, so of course he doesn't know the latest situation.

"Junior Brother Su, do you know why the leader of the Second Yanhan Empire calls himself Emperor Yanhan instead of Emperor?"

Chen Wenji asked with a smile.

Zhong Shenxiu recalled for a while and replied: "Because the Second Yanhan Empire is of the same origin as the First Empire, we are all immigrants from the outside world, not indigenous people. The national sacrifice is not to sacrifice to heaven, but to Taoist ancestors!"

"That's right!" Chen Wenji said with a solemn expression: "Junior brother should have heard of the theory of three thousand worlds... We, the people of Yanhan, all came from Dongsheng Divine Continent, and the world where Dongsheng Divine Continent is located is called the Tai Emperor Tian, ​​in the beginning, the Taoist ancestors came down and gave Taoist teachings, and this is how the Immortal, Taoist, and Buddhist sects became prosperous... Therefore, the source of all dharma belongs to the Taoist ancestors. This is the legal tradition! Don't abandon it!"

"After that, our ancestors couldn't bear the war, so they collectively moved to this world and named it 'Qi Yao Tian'!"

"The way of heaven in the 'Qi Yao Tian' here is different from that in the 'Tai Huang Tian'. It even excludes our immigrants and Taoism, which led to the collapse of the First Empire of Yanhan..."

"The dragon fights in the wild, its blood is black and yellow. We, the people of Yanhan, should constantly strive for self-improvement. We do not respect the heaven here, but only respect the Taoist ancestors!"

Chen Wenji said solemnly: "But some people think...how can humans defeat heaven? Heaven is there, and no matter how humans or even monks act, how can they harm the sky at all? Since we have entered a realm, we should obey God is in harmony with people..."

"Does this mean they are divided into two factions, the Man-Ding-Victory-Nature-Sect and the Shuntian-Yingren-Sect?" Zhong Shenxiu said thoughtfully.

"Junior brother summed it up brilliantly. In fact, during the First Empire of Yanhan, there were very few supporters of Shuntian Yingren... But later, the way of heaven abandoned it, the law of Tao declined, and the First Empire of Yanhan collapsed, so we had to They made concessions, modified the original ancient Taoist laws, and replaced the ancient laws with new ones. When the Second Empire was established, the Shuntian Yingren faction became very popular... and gradually influenced the current emperor."

"The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, if he offers sacrifices to heaven and earth and is truly recognized by Heaven, can he be able to extend the country?" Zhong Shenxiu sneered.

"That's probably what I think. There are quite a few supporters..." Chen Wenji sighed: "There has been such overt and covert fighting in the imperial court before. The biggest example is the rebellion of the eldest prince..."

Zhong Shenxiu's face twitched, this is the eternal pain of the Su family.

"Now, the old emperor has gradually begun to think about reform! Change the ancestral system and worship this way of heaven in order to extend the country and perhaps his own longevity..."

Chen Wenji said: "Before, it was just a preparation, but this year, it was announced that the Yuan Chengtian will be changed. The intention is very clear. The new method replaces the ancient method, which is a last resort. This time the Yuan change, we can't back down!"

‘It seems that this senior sister is a staunch believer in conquering heaven... But the Taishang Longhu Sect has always worn the same pants as the imperial court. Maybe among the senior officials, the idea of ​​​​submitting to heaven and accepting people has prevailed! ’

Zhong Shenxiu cursed, and at the same time his expression became extremely solemn.

He saw a huge whirlpool.

I don’t care what the way of heaven is here.

political reform!

Move the ancestral system!

They are all going to kill people, many, many people, and if you are not careful, there is the possibility of self-defeating and total collapse!

"The most important affairs of the country are military service and sacrifice... If we change it rashly, there are great hidden dangers."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed.

By this time, he was no longer a novice and understood why most of the reforms in history had failed.

I also know why once there is a reform in the feudal dynasty, a bunch of people will jump out and argue that the laws of the ancestors cannot be touched!

There is some truth to this.

From the perspective of safeguarding the throne, you, the emperor, can inherit the throne not because of anything else, but precisely because of the laws of your ancestors!

Once the laws of the ancestors can be changed at will, doesn't it mean that the position of the emperor can also be changed at will?

Therefore, in the end, even the position of the emperor was unstable. It was inevitable that those emperors who had come back to their senses would shrink back.

How can the world and the welfare of the common people be compared to one's own great position?

They would rather be in charge of a shabby dynasty with all its industries in ruins than see a brand new dynasty rise and lose power!

Moreover, those emperors did not have the prestige of the founder of the country, nor did they have the domineering power to unite military and political power, and to dominate the world with their civil, political and martial arts!

Even if there is, it can be subdued for a while, but if you succeed in reforming the law, what about future generations?

Is it also possible to change the law? And overturning everything that came before?

Therefore, it directly becomes a dead end, and there are few successes in history.

Even if it succeeds, the founder will not end well.

At this time, it was the turn of the Second Yanhan Empire, and what was changed was not even other things, but the sacrifice to the ancestors!

This is a world where there are monks and magical powers!

All Taoists can claim to be the descendants of Tao ancestors, as you can tell by looking at Chen Wenji's attitude.

As for the Taishang Dragon and Tiger Sect, it was a sect that had always been close to the imperial court, and the disciples in the sect were all confused.

This made Zhong Shenxiu really not optimistic about the old emperor's actions.

‘Is it because I feel like I’m about to die, so I want to act more recklessly? I hope that if it succeeds, maybe it can extend my life? ’

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes were cold.

It doesn't matter what the emperor does, he doesn't do other things, but the Su family still has some cause and effect.

"In short, starting from the first year of Chengtian, the world will be in chaos."

Chen Wenji smiled bitterly: "Jiugong Mountain is the source of trouble. It was originally a demon-sealed cave. Recently, there have been frequent changes, and the evil spirit has leaked out, causing trouble in all directions... I, the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, have been ordered to guard this place. But he was coveted by the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, and the two sides fought several battles with each other winning and losing, resulting in heavy casualties and an urgent need for manpower."

"So you thought of me?"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled bitterly.

Even if there is a battle between good and evil, the pawns will go first at the beginning.

Yuan Dan, Yuan Shen and other big guys have been watching for a long time, and of course they are reluctant to fight for this fruit.

Innate, Gangsha and too weak.

Therefore, the ones who died the most were the magical monks!

Even though the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Clan has great achievements, it still feels a little stretched.

Therefore, Su Daozhi, a newly minted deacon, was promoted by the front line to be a fighting general.

"That's right, in a supernatural level fight, Junior Brother Su can be almost invincible with the Nine Pure Immortal Light protecting his body..."

Chen Wenji mentioned a few more famous true disciples of the Demonic and Taoist sects, and asked Zhong Shenxiu to be careful.

Huang Xie, the underworld prisoner, was among them.

‘What is bad fate? This is bad fate. ’

Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "The Underworld Demon Sect, the Five Lotus Sect, the Yaoxie Path...the Six Paths of the Demon Sect are already halfway through. Is this really the beginning of a great war?"

"We also have experts on our side. Don't worry, junior brother, magical power level fighting will only be limited to magical monks."

Chen Wenji consoled him.
