Chapter 564: The Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty; Listen closely: I have an idea
"Actually, not to mention the human kings, even the other strong men in the human race can actually circumvent the life span limit recorded in the book of life and death when they practice the power of blood to a certain extent."
The first person to speak was Cui Pan, who had done some research in this area. After all, he was in charge of the "Book of Life and Death", so he also had a certain say. "Such phenomena basically occurred before Xia and Shang...
Since the death of King Zhou and the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty by King Wu, the emperors of the world and the monarchs of the vassal states have gradually slacked off in the cultivation of the power of human blood... One may be that during the Conferring God War, the human race was strong
Those who died one after another, and the inheritance was cut off; secondly, it may also be that the power of the human bloodline, passed down from generation to generation, has become increasingly thinner and no longer has the power of ancient times... Even if some human masters are born, they are like a rare existence. And they are also very rare.
Few people can break through the limitations of their own lifespan."
At this point, Cui Pan paused for a moment and explained to Erlang Zhenjun: "The little god is young after all. These are the little gods' bold speculations based on the records in the book of life and death..."
Cui Pan is speculating.
But Yang Jian is a person who has actually experienced the war of conferring gods. "I have never seen the actual situation of human kings in ancient times, but what Cui Pan said after conferring gods... should be the current situation of the human race. And the longevity of the emperor
The reason why Yuan gradually becomes no different from ordinary human beings... In fact, the root cause is that the way of heaven does not allow the emperor to achieve immortality through 'cultivation' or taking the treasures of heaven and earth."
And "cultivation" may be a method of practice that can lead to immortality through "practice" except for the power of human blood.
As for the treasures of heaven, materials and earth...compared to cultivation, these are actually the easiest things for the emperor and the princes and kings to obtain.
But neither the elixir of the First Emperor nor the flat peaches of King Mu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Han could make them live forever... Other emperors were even worse.
Because of the restrictions of Ziwei Emperor Qi, the moment the emperor succeeded to the throne, he was cut off from the path of cultivation... Even if he was not the emperor, but only had the blood of the royal family, he would still have many restrictions on his cultivation path.
Otherwise, with so many people seeking immortality and Taoism, wouldn’t it be true that only Liu An, the king of Huainan, became an immortal in the royal family?
After listening to the words of Yang Jian and Cui Pan, those Yamas who had served in the underworld during the era of human kings also realized...it turned out that they had fallen into a misunderstanding about the emperor's inability to live forever.
But they didn't pay too much attention to it. Firstly, it was none of their business; secondly...it was actually the fault of the emperors in the world for not living up to their expectations.
If Li Shimin hadn't suddenly awakened, this matter would have continued to be ignored.
But today's era is indeed somewhat unusual. Not only has Li Shimin himself repeatedly made breakthroughs in human martial arts, but the two ruthless men Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui have even reached the level of the top masters of the ancient human race.
Others don't know the abilities of the two of them, but Yang Jian, who has fought with them, can be sure... If the two of them are placed on the battlefield of the Conferred Gods, even Huang Tianxiang, who was later called the "first warrior of the human race"
, I am afraid that he is definitely no match for the two of them.
With Li Shimin's deliberate promotion, while the imperial examination was successfully implemented, the military examination was also launched... For a time, the talent reserve of the Tang Dynasty court was unprecedentedly prosperous.
It is precisely because Li and Tang paid equal attention to civil and military affairs that there were many ministers who were both civil and military.
At the beginning of the year, the remaining tribes of Baekje rebelled.
Without sending out Xue Rengui, Li Zhi, with Xing Guogong Su Dingfang as the commander-in-chief and Pei Xingjian as the assistant general, easily put down the rebellion, once again proving to the world... Don't think that just because Tian Khan abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, you can privately
What a little trick.
The Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty.
The originally restless people in Tubo, Turkic and other places saw how vulnerable Baekje was under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty... so they had no choice but to behave honestly. Not to mention the various tribes in the Western Regions, what about fine wine and dancing?
Ji, even more generously paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.
Although these places were indeed included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, for the Tang Dynasty, they were never truly absorbed. They only established the Protectorate while still allowing them to maintain a certain degree of autonomy.
right.
After all, customs and culture are different. Unless brutal means such as killing are used, it will be difficult to achieve rapid assimilation in a short period of time.
And senseless killing was obviously an unnecessary choice for Datang.
After all, after killing all the people, all that is left is a desolate wasteland... This is obviously not what the Tang Dynasty wants. As for immigrating... how many of the people of the Tang Dynasty are really willing to leave their homes?
?
One of the basic national policies left by Li Shimin to Li Zhi is that in dealing with these foreign nations, cultural conquest is more effective than military invasion.
Obviously, Li Zhi also did this, and it was quite effective.
Many places have gradually begun to become counties. For example, Suiye City in the Western Regions was the first batch of pilot projects... and even had quotas for the imperial examinations, which caused various ministries in the Western Regions to imitate.
In fact, gods like them are quite concerned about how the imperial dynasties in the human world govern.
As for the underworld, the more stable the world is, the burden on them will naturally be much smaller.
After all, once the killing starts, the underworld is always the busiest part... And in the peaceful development of the Three Realms, there are no war souls who died on the battlefield. They only need to complete the set target items in the book of life and death.
"I wonder what the Bodhisattva has to say about this matter?"
After all, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the leader of the Netherworld. Although he was born in Buddhism, he is also one of the few Bodhisattvas in Buddhism who also holds a post in heaven. Among the "New Rules of Heaven" compiled by Yang Jian, there are many
He himself benefited a lot from the practical advice from this Bodhisattva.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Amitabha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva first recited the Buddha's name, and then said to Yang Jian: "Monks are compassionate, even if they are restricted by heaven and cannot obtain it.
The immortal emperor...it seems that there is no need to target him with 'death calamity'."
Since it is a discussion, there are always various opinions.
But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, this time gave his own advice from the position of a great Buddhist Bodhisattva...Obviously, he had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water.
What's more, Li Shimin is still a pro-Buddha. Even if he is close to Tripitaka Buddha, there is no difference to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Tripitaka Buddha is also a Buddha.
If Li Shimin can really hold the power of the emperor of the world for three to five hundred years, it will be good news for the people of the world and Buddhism.
And this maximally broad suggestion of mine is the bottom line for bargaining when "negotiating" with Tiandao.
After all, it was a matter involving the law of heaven. How could they decide it in just a few words?
Even if it is a preliminary "bill", it must be approved by Heaven before it can be tried out in the Three Realms.
Erlang Zhenjun had a general understanding of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's attitude, and turned to look at Emperor Fengdu aside...
Emperor Fengdu is also very straightforward. Although he can be regarded as an independent personality, he is still different from Li Shimin's incarnation who had his memory cleared and was reincarnated through six paths of reincarnation... His temperament is the most consistent with Emperor Ziwei's.
, so his stance is almost the same as that of Emperor Ziwei...
Perhaps it is also because Li Shimin is also one of the incarnations of Emperor Ziwei. How "merciful" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is, how "strict" his advice is.
It is almost the kind that leaves no way for "Li Shimin" to survive. It seems that if Li Shimin does not fall in the "death disaster", he will not be sorry for the word "death disaster".
have to...
The Tenth Palace Yamas, who originally wanted to take this discussion seriously, chose to shut up after hearing the speeches of the two Yin Division bosses.
Not to mention them, even Yang Jian... would feel a headache at this time.
But he also expressed his understanding of the attitudes of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu towards this matter...after all, they each have their own positions.
The Tenth Hall Yama fell into silence.
Zhong Kui was seriously thinking about countermeasures, and when Cui Jue wanted to break the awkward atmosphere at the scene, Wei Zheng suddenly said: "Zhenjun, the little god has something to say, which may be a little inappropriate... but it must be said."
"President Wei, please speak."
Yang Jian's eyes lit up. This was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at that time. He and the emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also left a good story about the emperor and his ministers. He might have some effective suggestions.
"Since this matter involves the human emperor... Should we inform the human kings of Huoyun Cave?" Wei Zheng's perspective has always been tricky... This time he made such an admonition, but it's not that he doesn't believe Erlang, who is half human.
True Lord...but simply as a human being, he wants to fight for more rights for the human race.
Moreover, looking at the attitudes of Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it is obvious that they are somewhat unreliable.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene that was not harmonious once again fell into condensation.
However, after thinking for a moment, the local Bodhisattva Bodhisattva and the Emperor Fengdu nodded at the same time, expressing their approval of Wei Zheng's words.
Emperor Fengdu even said: "Principal Wei still has foresight. This matter involves the emperor of the human race... In my opinion, not only must we inform Huoyun Cave, but the opinions of the human religion cannot be ignored."
"Amitabha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva even said: "Even if we really want to bring about death... With only the power of the underworld, if we want to target an emperor who has the aura of an emperor and awakens the power of human blood, it is obviously It’s very difficult.”
The ten palaces of Yama all agreed.
It seems that this matter cannot be reached through discussion for a while.
Di Ting, who was following from the side, suddenly came up with a magical idea, and then boldly suggested to Yang Jian: "The next meeting should be held at the Temple of the True Lord in heaven..."
Um?
No one could react for a moment.
But Ting Di Ting continued: "In this way, we can discuss in heaven for a few more days... It is said that one day in heaven and one year in the lower world. If you all discuss in heaven for a few more days, maybe Li Shimin himself will run out of life. The soul has returned to the earth... By then this matter will be over, and you don't have to worry about it... After all, an emperor like Li Shimin is hard to come by in a hundred..."
Snapped!
Then it was hit on the head. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked apologetic to everyone present, especially Emperor Fengdu and Yang Jian, "The poor monk was not strict in his discipline and made everyone laugh."
But I have to say...it does make some sense to listen carefully to this "drag trick".
Sometimes, not dealing with it may be the best choice.
And this kind of method is often used by Yang Jian... For example, some immortals in the lower world, as long as they do not harm the sentient beings in the three realms, he will always turn a blind eye or close an eye... and wait for the other person to finish his life in the mortal world. They will be "brought to justice" only during their lifetime, or after their "loved one" has passed away, but they will always be dealt with as lightly as possible.
Either face the wall and think about it, or be demoted from the priesthood, or simply be demoted to the mortal world...
However, Erlang Zhenjun will never show mercy to those immortals who always ignore the safety of the three realms for the sake of their "lovers". Even if their souls are destroyed, it will be an advantage for them.
There are even many who have been thrown into eternal hell and will never be able to recover.
When the Great Sage was still in the Three Realms, he even invited the Great Sage to come to the True King Temple to preach the scriptures to the prisoners...
The Great Sage could really agree to such an outrageous question...
Guanjiang estuary.
Yang Mansion.
After returning to the human world from the underworld, Yang Jian did not go to the Temple of the True King immediately... There were six-eared macaques and eight sisters in the Temple of the True King. Everything was taken care of in an orderly manner, and the Meishan brothers, who were very capable of executing, were by their side. To help, he no longer needs to worry about every detail.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He also had half a day to spare...
"father!"
When a young man of about six or seven years old saw Yang Jian coming back, he immediately jumped up and bumped his head into Yang Jian's arms.
Snapped!
Yang Jianxin slapped him on the ground mercilessly... He seemed to be a little disgusted.
The young man didn't care, so he rolled on the ground very skillfully, turned over and stood up... patted the dust on his body and said with a smile: "Dad, why did you come back in the daytime today?"
This young master who calls Yang Jian "father" is naturally no one else. He is the current young master of the Yang family, the only son of Zhenjun Erlang.
Because Cun Xin and her mother traveled to the Three Realms, Yang Jian's plan to get another caring little cotton-padded jacket came to nothing...but the good news is that his apprentice Xiaoyu has been staying in Yang Mansion.
After accepting Xiaoyu that year, Fox Sister and Fifth Brother simply left Xiaoyu to study in the Yang Mansion, and the two of them returned to Wanku Mountain... Xiaoyu only returned to Wanku Mountain during the New Year and holidays.
Reunion with parents.
However, although Xiaoyu is Yang Jian's disciple, Master Yuding and Yang Tianyou usually teach her as well.
Disciples and grandchildren are also grandchildren and cannot be treated differently.
"Master."
Xiaoyu took a step slowly, and after her junior brother stood up from the ground, she came to the master, and first bowed to the master... Then she saw that the master kept a straight face, so she also restrained her respectful expression...
.
Then she smiled, and the master also smiled and pressed her head, saying: "You... I have told you so many times, but I still can't change it."
"Dad..." Yang Jian shouted to Yang Tianyou in the yard, "Don't teach me those Confucian rules in the future. This brat has not made any progress at all... Instead, Xiaoyu has learned everything."
