Chapter 979
As the guest of honor invited by the prince, Li Chengfeng was naturally different from ordinary people. He did not have to stand in the square formation below the stage with the monks, nor did he have to squeeze on both sides of the road or on the roofs like ordinary people.
The viewing platform under the high platform is a trapezoidal shape. The narrowest trapezoidal shape is the top and the place where the high platform is located. The long stairs along the high platform are full of red carpets, with orange and yellow large flags and wooden pillars on both sides. Behind them are VIP seats placed on the north and south sides. On the north are the dignitaries and nobles and special guests invited by the royal family; on the south are monks who did not attend the battle meeting in Shenjing.
On the west side are the major sects arranged in various square arrays of large and small. Their clothes are different and they are clearly divided. Each sect is at least ten meters away from each sect. In the middle is a monk in the Qiankun God Cult in a black robe, which not only shows division but also shows deterrence.
There were 73 large and small sects on the scene, including 538 monks who participated in the battle meeting without sects, totaling 7,492.
These people watched the secret battle between the prince and the national master on the stage, and secretly said that the show was good, but their faces were like flat lakes. Those who could come here through the layers of selection of sects had two brushes in their hands. After a certain assessment, they would naturally not make a fuss or whisper at this moment.
Li Chengfeng saw the two of them openly and secretly fighting, and was worried in his heart. From this point of view, the conflict between the power of the prince and the power of the divine sect is inevitable and unresolved.
The prince wanted to refresh the administration of officials, but this was not the root cause. The biggest problem in Daqi today is that it was not enough to make ends meet, and expenditure and income were seriously unbalanced. This is a very simple arithmetic problem, which even children can figure out clearly.
Just like an adult, the energy generated by what he eats every day is less than that he consumes. First of all, he will lose his vitality after he reaches a certain level of weight. As a result, he will become erect and die.
It has been more than 500 years since the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom. Anyone with a discerning eye has already reached the stage of an elderly person who has become strong and strong. However, because his coat is still gorgeous and majestic enough, it is still quite shocking. But once another external force suddenly tear off the coat, everyone will see Da Qi's devastated inner self.
The fundamental reason for all this is one of the main reasons that the prince firmly believes: the cultivation sects and wealthy families are too powerful, and their existence has suffocated the living space of the Daqi court, and then affected the living space of the people.
The prince can deal with a wealthy family, but it is difficult for him to deal with the cultivation sect.
If we want to reform the practice sects, the first thing that is to bear is the Qiankun Divine Sect!
The prince must make the Qiankun God Cult bow his head. Only through the reforms he proposed can other sects follow the reforms, so as not to cause a terrible bloody disaster.
However, what the prince wants to move is not a small matter of interest, but the prince holds up the guillotine and cuts off a large part of the interests of the sect of cultivation: taxes are collected from the sect of cultivation, and the tax is heavy according to the number of heads!!
Only in this way can we curb the evil deeds of practicing sects and wealthy families constantly absorbing the people and annexing the land.
The prince has rich practical experience and governance experience. He is very clear that his reforms will inevitably touch the most interest groups in this society. If he is not careful, he will be crushed to pieces. And once he sits on the throne, his policies will definitely lead to crazy struggles from wealthy families. They will definitely inspire the villagers who depend on them to take the lead in resisting taxes. At that time, violent resistance to the law will surely emerge one after another, and their eyes will be focused on the Qiankun God Cult.
Everyone's idea is: What is the attitude of the God Cult? If the God Cult does not follow, then we are not afraid and continue to make trouble! Once the world is in chaos, the prince's policy will definitely not be implemented.
As for the world and the people, these nobles and nobles will not care about them. Anyway, they will not be the ones who starve to death.
What I have to overcome if the Divine Cultivation wants to bow its head is the old man who looks thin and looks like a mountain with a towering and huge figure.
After the prince knocked the bell, he stopped and looked at the national teacher Chang Yuan across the air. Both of them saw firmness and strength in each other's eyes.
This power comes from belief and self-confidence.
The national master Chang Yuan stared at the prince for a while before turning around, ignoring the prince, but just raised his hands to the audience. Everyone in the audience and the people watching around all stood up one after another.
The prince was left aside, and he was not discouraged. Instead, he walked back to his throne and raised his hand to the national ritual team beside him. The huge orchestra, with a total of two or three hundred people, immediately met, and the thirty trumpeters in the lead immediately sounded the huge bronze trumpet.
The national master Chang Yuan was about to speak when suddenly a low trumpet sound rolled in. Then, other trumpeters placed in the entire Shenjing City also blew the trumpets one after another. The trumpet sound was really like a tide and surging, which made everyone feel nervous and tense.
Immediately afterwards, the drums rang out, and the orchestra began to play the music. This was the special music of the Royal Family of the Great Qi Dynasty, "The King of Heavenly Victory". For a moment, the drums and music were sounding together, and the sky was noisy. Amid the majestic and grand music, the national teacher Chang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He did not continue to speak because once he spoke, he violated the ancestral system, just as the prince should salute him according to the ancestral system, and he did not have to salute him.
Once this music starts, he speaks again, it is against the rules!
Although the national teacher Chang Yuan could easily crush the prince with one finger, he also knew that once he did this, the prestige and legitimacy of the Divine Cult would be over.
If you lose your majesty and legitimacy, no matter how powerful a giant is, it will be constantly attacked and challenged, and then abandoned by the world, and eventually decline and demise.
Throughout history, no huge country can escape this law.
Here, he must dance with the rules of the game in this system. They can play their own way, but they are very careful not to completely destroy the rules.
Fighting without breaking is the bottom line of the two people's tacit understanding at present.
However, through this brief confrontation and confrontation, they understood a fact: this secret fight was just beginning, and the next one would be a more cruel struggle.
The national teacher Chang Yuan gave up his speech. He slowly walked to the prince, stood beside him, and looked at the stage ahead with a smile, without looking sideways. He slowly said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Highness has indeed grown up."
The prince naturally understood this sentence, and he whispered in a squint, "The national teacher worked hard for the Great Qi for so many years, and it's time to take a break."
The national teacher Chang Yuan remained silent and continued, "Yes, it's time to take a break, but the tree has a deep root and the wind is moving."
The prince of course understood that the meaning of this sentence was to accuse the prince of being eager for quick success and instant benefits, touching the foundation of the Qiankun Divine Cult, and secretly threatening the prince. The gods "has a deep root" and have huge power, and their interests are closely related to the entire Daqi. Once it is touched, it will affect the whole body with one blow, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
But who is the prince? He naturally thought of all this clearly!
This is a prince who dared to stand up in front of fighting in Taiyang City when facing thousands of corpse tides. How could such a person retreat at this moment?
The prince whispered: "The state affairs are difficult, and time is not enough. As a national teacher, shouldn't we think about serving the country even more? It is important to know that the Divine Cult is also the Divine Cult of the Great Qi."
The last sentence is very powerful because its power lies in the subtext but does not exaggerate: The Divine Cult is the Divine Cult of Da Qi, and Da Qi is not the Divine Cult of Da Qi!
Although the two have long been reversed in terms of strength comparison, the main and secondary of the two have long been reversed, but from a legal perspective, the main and secondary of the two cannot be confused!
The national teacher Chang Yuan has lived for more than 500 years and has never dealt with any scenes. He smiled slightly and said lightly: "It is natural to serve the country. It is just like managing a big country like cooking a small fresh food. Sometimes it is too hasty, but it is not beautiful. If Your Highness thinks that I am old and weak and incompetent, then why not take a boat with me to Nanhu Lake, ignore the world and be free and easy, can it be?"
This sentence instantly hit the prince's life gate!
The national teacher wants to "Duizi" with the prince, can it be?
