Chapter 176 Dao Heart Choice

[Age 13: This year, with your power as a Shujishi, you started to investigate from the entry and exit records of the inner city, peeling off the cocoon, step by step to investigate the murderer who cursed him, and finally locked the target on the Minister of Rites. You are not in a hurry.

Instead of taking action, he continued the investigation secretly, and through his reputation, he entered Qingyun Academy, a place of orthodox Confucianism.】

[You became a disciple of the dean, the Great Confucian, and began to practice Confucianism and Taoism. You cultivated your righteousness, cultivated your moral character, cultivated your morality, and established your heart. You learned the art of Confucianism and Taoism, "Confucianism and Taoism Wenxin".]

(Trigger special event: Obtain the Confucian and Taoist secret method "Confucian and Taoist Wenxin")



[Age 15: This year, you finally found the flaw in the Minister of Rites. By imitating the handwriting of the Minister of Rites, you made his associates voluntarily confess evidence of cliques, corruption and bribery. The influence of the Minister of Rites was uprooted.

, you successfully avenged your hatred. In the same year, your martial arts cultivation reached the fourth level, and your Confucianism and Taoism cultivation progressed rapidly, reaching the sixth level. You can now use the cultivated awe-inspiring righteousness, clear energy to transform into form, and export to hurt people.]



[17 years old: This year, you were transferred to the cabinet. You were appreciated by the chief minister of the cabinet. At the invitation of the chief minister, you came to his mansion and met his daughter. At this moment, you seemed to understand

understand the meaning of Lord Shouxu.】

[With the help of Mr. Shofu, you have often been in and out of the Shofu's mansion this year, meeting her, and your relationship has gradually improved over time. Everything seems to be on the right track. 】

[18 years old: In this year, the emperor was bewitched by an unknown Taoist and began to practice immortality. Due to his desire for immortality, he began to ignore the government affairs. The power of the chief minister of the cabinet became more and more powerful, and your status began to rise. However, just

In this year, fierce party struggles began. The princelings, the six princes, and the three princes began to use various excuses to attack each other in an attempt to control the court and make one family dominate.]

[The powerful cabinet, as well as the chief minister of the cabinet, have become the first targets for the major parties to fight for.]

[It’s not easy to win over the Chief Assistant, so of course you are the breakthrough point.]

[The princelings are the first to come to the door, promising huge profits and promising to promote you to the position of chief minister.]

[Next is the Third Prince Party, Sixth Prince Party...]

[You rejected the three parties, met with the Chief Assistant again, and informed the matter. 】

[He smiled with satisfaction, told you ten words, stayed still as a mountain, just sit and watch the storm rise.]

[You also laughed and left the chief minister’s residence.]



[20 years old: The fierce party struggle has been going on for two years. In the past two years, you have witnessed with your own eyes that this once powerful dynasty has gradually declined. The people are in dire straits and there are countless exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes. In order to practice Taoism and refine elixirs, the emperor has also begun to sell his official positions and titles.

After trading in official positions, you can buy officials with money, and the people are miserable.】

[The Sui Dynasty, which once had a prosperous country, was on the verge of subjugation?]

[This year, you think of the severe drought and the refugees who came to the capital, and you feel that you must do something...]

[On this day, you will go out to the Jinluan Palace.]

[In front of all the civil and military officials, you angrily rebuked the Taoist people for causing harm to the country and the people, and angrily scolded the emperors for cultivating immortals. This is the way to bring disaster. You disregard the life and death of the people, and you are simply unworthy of being a ruler.]

[For a moment, the pure energy surged into the sky, the literary energy surged, your Confucianism and Taoism cultivation reached the seventh level, I felt that my heart was clear, my thoughts were clear, and all the resentment accumulated in my chest was vented by you. 】

[Everyone in the hall was shocked, and the emperor was furious and put you in prison, preparing to be executed by the Empress.]

[In the prison, you face death, and your heart is surprisingly calm. In your opinion, following the example of the sages, splattering the golden palace with blood, and awakening the king is what a scholar should do. It is the righteous direction and you will die without regrets. 】

【Why do you read the books of sages?】

【Just for this moment.】

[It’s just... it hurts my family...]

[The dean of Qingyun Academy is here. He is both pleased and worried about your behavior. He only said, with a disciple like you, I will have no regrets in my life. 】

[The Chief Assistant is here, and he brings a message. Qingyun Academy and him, through many travels and communications, have saved you, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable. You need to bear the fifty feet and leave the cabinet.

, went to the most remote Yunzhou to serve as the county magistrate.】

[Sir Shofu said: Your death cannot wake up a sleeping person. Your actions can only move yourself and the scholars who are as impulsive as you. If you die, you must die with value and die for the common people in the world. Of course,

Noble, but if it has no effect, your sacrifice will be in vain.】

[With your talents, you don’t deserve to die here.]

[Since you are not afraid of death and want to save the people, you might as well start with the county magistrate and save the people in the county first!]

【Master Shofu has left.】

[You also left Tianlao after your husband punished you.]

[A few days later, you embarked on the road to Yunzhou to take up your post. What you didn’t expect was that the daughter of the Chief Assistant was actually traveling with you? She was willing to accompany you to Yunzhou to endure hardships. You were very moved and promised to take it.

she.】

[Age 21: This year, you arrived in Yunzhou County and began your career as a county magistrate. You began to perform your duties diligently. This place is really too poor, not as prosperous as the capital, or even inferior to your hometown.

You start working hard to change everything here, use the knowledge you have learned to change the environment here and solve their poverty.】

[You often help people around you, no matter young or old, and have received your favor. As an outsider, you quickly integrated into this place. Your martial arts cultivation has reached the sixth level, but your Confucianism and Taoism cultivation has stagnated.

.]



[24 years old: Another three years have passed, and you have become an excellent parent official. With your diligent work, the appearance of the entire county has undergone earth-shaking changes. Every family has surplus food, every household lives and works in peace and contentment, and everything is moving towards the good.

The direction is developing, and you will also marry her this year.】

[A girl who has not left the court has followed you for three years without a name or status. She should be given a status anyway.]

[With the help of everyone in the county, you married her gloriously. Although everything here is not as good as in the capital, she feels very free and happy.]

【What do you seem to understand? 】

[Confucianism cultivates one's moral integrity, governs one's family, and governs the country to bring peace to the world. If all the families are not harmonious, how can they talk about the righteousness of the family and the country? 】

[On this day, you are promoted to the seventh level in Confucianism and Taoism, and the awe-inspiring righteousness in your heart becomes even stronger.]



[26 years old: Another two years have passed. This year, your son was born. Your family is harmonious and happy. You suddenly feel that if everything develops like this, it is not bad to live your life like this, ordinary. 】

【However, one thing changed the trajectory of your life.】

[At night, the Northern Territory invaded Yunzhou. As a frontier county, you were abandoned by the Sui Dynasty. The northern rebels invaded the county. In order to protect the people in the county, you went to the military camp alone to lobby the enemy generals and show your righteousness.

To frighten the generals, the general took a fancy to your identity as a direct disciple of Confucianism. Your deeds of winning three yuan in a row and angrily criticizing the emperor also impressed the general, and he agreed to you.]

[However, as a price, you were imprisoned in the military camp. Fortunately, the general kept his promise, and there were no casualties among the people in the county. 】

[A few months later, rumors began to spread among the people of the Sui Dynasty that you had betrayed the country, had to endure humiliation, and surrendered to the enemy. Your reputation plummeted.]

[As the direct disciple of the dean of Qingyun Academy, your actions have also tarnished the academy. The dean wants to protect your reputation, but due to the general trend, he can only resign and choose to retire. 】

[The new dean of Qingyun College announces the severing of relations with you.]

[The chief minister was worried about his daughter and grandson, so he sent someone to take them back to the capital. 】

[Age 27: This incident finally reached your ears. You were so angry that you went to discuss it with the general. The enemy general smiled and said: Your reputation will be the sharpest knife that can pierce the Sui Dynasty. 】

[You suddenly realize that the reason why he keeps his promise is not because he is a man of his word, but because he wants to use you. If you commit suicide, it will undoubtedly be a loss to their enemy. 】

[You are a little lost. In order to protect the people, you betrayed the country? 】

[You fell into self-doubt, his goal was achieved, and he let you go.]

[You are walking in the streets and alleys of Yunzhou, in this state ruled by the enemy, and you find that the people under the enemy's rule are not living a bad life? 】

[This is simply a kind of irony. Emperors practicing Taoism, ignoring government affairs, and pursuing immortality are all signs of subjugation in the history books of the past dynasties. However, when the enemy invades, they do not kill, stabilize people's livelihood, and proceed step by step. This is the royal way. This

This is the way to rejuvenate.]

【With one decline and another increase, the future of the Sui Dynasty is worrying.】

[It is precisely because you have seen through this point that you are even more confused. Confucianism establishes destiny, learns literary and military skills, and serves the emperor's family. This is your life wish. But should the king despise the people, or the people should despise the king? 】

[You don’t know...you were wandering in the streets of Yunzhou, and your thoughts were impacted. The education and thinking you have always had is that if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die. As a minister, you can die to remonstrate, but you cannot rebel against the emperor.

, treason, now, what should he do?】

【Join the enemy army to seek a future for the people?】

[Or return to the temple, awaken the king, and regain Yunzhou? 】
