In the palace, Gu Cheng stood with his hands on his hands, watching the energy in all directions.
With the completion of the twelve volumes of Tianshu, there was a steady supply of talent from Chaoyang Mountain, and the territory that truly belonged to Dashang was steadily expanding.
There have also been restructurings within the large merchants. For example, the expansion of the number of doctors has greatly weakened the influence of the priests. Some people who relied on their elders and sold them out were directly eliminated, and all traces of the witch clan were wiped out.
But compared to the great commotion among the princes from all directions, Dashang seemed quite calm.
As mentioned before, in an era when the hereditary system of nobility has not yet declined and academic downward movement has not yet occurred, hastily excluding the nobility and liberating slaves is not progress, but will cause disaster.
Of course, this is also the general trend.
Slaves must be freed.
The rise of the human race cannot be hindered by the slavery system. Gu Cheng has long decided to train his troops to strengthen themselves and broaden the people's wisdom.
However, every major event that benefits future generations is often unable to avoid harm at the time. The so-called success in the present and benefit for the future is only the most ideal state. This cannot be done in ancient times, it is the norm.
Therefore, who will be the "evil man" is very crucial.
King Zhou was undoubtedly unsuitable.
The aristocratic class assists the emperor in governing the world. They hate the upper class for the sake of the people. It seems that they love the people as their own children, but in fact the country is in turmoil and the world is in chaos. In the end, it is the common people who suffer.
When Gu Cheng was in the Han Dynasty, he did not deal with the eight aristocratic families at first. Instead, he seized the opportunity and relied on the power of the Hongnong Yang family and other seven aristocratic families to first deal with the most imminent threat of the Yuan family. After the Buddhist sect was expelled, the poor generals raised their heads.
, and then suppress the remaining aristocratic families, so that the aristocratic family class can no longer control officials.
The whole process is indispensable. Whether it is greed for success or hesitation, it will lead to turmoil in the world.
The same is true now. The conflict between slave owners and slaves is more acute than that of a poor family. Gu Cheng wanted to liberate the slaves, but did not come forward himself. He used the central government to put pressure on the four major princes. Donglu was destroyed because of Dongyi.
The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and finally began to restructure, with Xiqi following closely behind.
By the time Fei Zhongyouhun persuaded the Northern Plains and Southern Border, all directions were moving, and the first step had been taken.
However, the threat of the list of gods hangs overhead, not only the struggle in the human world, but also the immortal gods are beginning to show their signs.
At this time, not only in Chaoge, but also in the streets of every city in the world, some extraordinary Taoist priests appeared. There were also auspicious clouds outside the houses and mansions where the child was about to be born, preparing to accept the child as his disciple after the birth.
This was the case in history when the Shang and Zhou Dynasties changed dynasties. Many human talents, including Huang Feihu's legitimate son Huang Tianhua, were accepted as apprentices by immortals and gods and brought back to heaven, and later became the mainstay of the third generation.
These are the seeds of enlightenment. When the human race is not strong enough, they can only watch the brain drain.
Now, something must change.
Gu Cheng returned to the palace and saw a Taoist book spread out on the desk. It was the tenth book of the twelve volumes of Tianshu after the Zongheng family.
Taoist!
This is the most special family. I am the incarnation of the Supreme Lord of the Three Purities. His preaching in the world is the culmination of the Three Purities. Now that Gu Cheng is writing a book, he is obviously trying to poach people from Taoism.
Sanqing was deceived by the personification of Hongjun, the mastermind behind the scenes, and Taishang Laojun’s disciples only had Master Xuandu. That was fine. Both Chanjiao and Jiejiao would affect the war in the human world, so they had to strike first to gain the upper hand.
Gu Cheng pressed it in vain, and the scroll suddenly turned into dozens of rays of light and went in all directions.
One of them is falling towards Dongping City.
In the city guard's house, Li Jing was waiting anxiously outside. From time to time, his wife Yin's painful voice could be heard in the house, and maids came in and out carrying basins of water.
Li Jing was born in the sect of Du'e Zhenren in West Kunlun. Because of his mediocre qualifications and limited knowledge, he was sent down the mountain to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world and served as the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan.
Later, when Dongyi was destroyed, Gu Cheng issued an order to transfer him to Dongping City. Li Jing was deeply grateful for the emperor's favor and happily took office. Then he found that the Donghai Dragon Palace here was fierce and overbearing and extremely difficult to deal with.
The Four Seas Dragon Palace existed when the demon clan ruled the world. Later, after the fall of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Lich War, it all withdrew from the stage of history. Even the five sacred beasts were no exception. Only the Four Seas Dragon King still took charge of the duties. Originally, the land and water were still there.
There is no conflict between wells and rivers, but since the establishment of Dongping City, the exploration of the East China Sea has caused conflicts between the two sides.
Li Jing was a very cautious man, especially he did not want to offend the immortals. The questioning from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea had already caused him quite a headache. What made him even more worried was that his wife Yin had been pregnant for three years and was still unable to give birth.
"Is what the Taoist said true or false?"
Listening to his wife's painful screams, Li Jing felt uneasy.
He originally thought that if he was pregnant for more than three years and was still unborn, he was either a monster or a monster. But last night, Yin Shi dreamed of a Taoist man wearing a double bun who told him that Lin'er would be born today.
Sure enough, Mrs. Yin woke up early in the morning and felt pain in her abdomen. A doctor and midwife came immediately, but until then, the child was not born.
Just when Li Jing was in a state of panic, a series of exclamations suddenly came from inside the house, and not long after, maids ran out, with sweat on their foreheads and frightened expressions.
Li Jing grabbed one and asked: "What's going on? Where is Madam!"
The maid's hands and feet were soft and she was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground: "Master, madam... madam gave birth to a goblin!"
Li Jing suddenly changed his color, quickly pulled out the sword from his waist, and came to the room. He saw a cloud of red air in the room, a strange fragrance filling the room, and a meat ball spinning in mid-air.
With such a sight, no wonder the maid was so frightened that she lost her mind. Li Jing Nu started from his heart and slashed at the flesh with his sword. Hearing a squeaking sound, the flesh ball separated, and a child with red light all over his body, carved with pink and jade, jumped out, as if he were three children.
Year old size.
Not only was he much larger than an ordinary baby, he also had a gold bracelet on his right hand and a piece of red silk around his belly. He was watching Li Jing running around on the ground screaming.
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then finally put away the sword, stepped forward to pick up the child, and handed it to the lady on the bed. Seeing the lady's happy look, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
When the news came out that the general had a son, all the officials in Dongping City came to congratulate him, but the steward of the mansion came to report: "Master, there is a person outside who wants to see you."
Li Jing immediately thought of the person who had entrusted him with the dream last night and hurriedly invited him in. After the Taoist came in to greet him, he announced his home: "I am the real Taoist Taiyi of Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. I heard that the general gave birth to a son, so I came to congratulate him and asked him to take a look."
, I wonder what your wishes are?"
Li Jing called the maid to take the child out. Master Taiyi took it in his hand, looked at it, and asked, "Can you give me a name for this child?"
Li Jing said: "No."
Master Taiyi said: "How about we give him a name and become his disciple?"
Li Jing knew the name of the Explanation, and Taiyi Zhenzhen was personally passed down by the Taoist ancestors, so he was naturally convinced: "I have three sons. The eldest son Jin Zha worships Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun in Yunxiao Cave in Wulong Mountain as his teacher, and the second son Mu Zha worships Baihe in Jiugong Mountain
Master Dong Puxian is my master. Since the Taoist Master wants this son to be his disciple, he can become his disciple just by giving him a name!"
Master Taiyi stroked his beard and smiled, and just as he was about to speak, a ray of light flew from outside, and his words abruptly changed to: "In that case, this boy is ranked third, let's call him Li Goudan..."
(ps: I’m late for my birthday today. Sorry, I’m very busy with projects this week. I should be able to resume the normal update time next time.)
