Zhou Hou murmured and gradually regained his composure.
"The little monkey has grown up."
Seeing Zhou Hou regaining his composure so quickly, Zhou Boyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Hou was embarrassed by Zhou Boyuan's praise. He scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Sir, I will follow you out of the village, first live in the county government, then enter the military camp, then escape, then be imprisoned, and finally follow you back to Luojing and enter the palace.
, ascended to the court, ruled the world, and watched you step by step from a wandering individual to the prime minister of two dynasties in the past ten years. No matter how dull your qualifications are, I have experienced a lot with you, so I should grow up. "<
/p>
Zhou Hou's words couldn't help but remind Zhou Boyuan of these turbulent ten years.
In the past ten years, the spiritual tide catastrophe has ended.
In these ten years, sects have risen.
In the past ten years, dynasties have changed.
In the past ten years, the demon tribe has entered the scene.
Zhou Boyuan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion when he thought about his life experiences of the past twenty years and the last ten years.
The previous obsession disappeared instantly.
What I couldn't figure out before was instantly understood.
What I didn’t dare to face before, I dared to do so in an instant.
"I didn't expect that in the end it was you who came to wake me up as the person in the game."
When Zhou Hou saw that Zhou Boyuan had figured it out, he scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "Sir, you are flattered. You are just a fan of the authorities. You just thought wrong for a moment. Even without me, you would have figured it out."
Only then did Zhou Boyuan realize that he had neglected Zhou Hou.
In the past ten years, due to various reasons, I was either busy or unable to control myself. My teachings to Zhou Hou were intermittent and patchwork, without any system or intention.
On the contrary, Zhou Hou not only took care of his daily life, but also suffered a lot because he was implicated.
As a gentleman, I am really unqualified.
Fortunately, Zhou Hou has a good nature, otherwise, he might have grown a bit too long.
Zhou Boyuan aroused the idea of teaching Zhou Hou.
He recounted what happened to him today, expressed his judgment and worries, and then asked: "Xiao Hou, what do you think of this matter?"
It was the first time that Zhou Hou was asked for his opinion so formally by his husband, and he couldn't help but get excited. However, in order to perform better, Zhou Hou quickly calmed himself down, used his brain, and recalled the few times with Qin Yi.
I thought about it seriously, as well as the information collected from the private sector and the information obtained from following Zhou Boyuan that ordinary people had no access to.
"Sir, do you think the Holy Emperor is too bad? The Holy Emperor is not that kind of person, right?"
Whether from the private sector or from the limited contacts, Qin Yi left a very good impression on Zhou Hou.
The Central Plains has become so peaceful and the people have become so vibrant, and Qin Yi is indispensable.
Qin Yi also takes good care of the people around him.
Whether it is a matter of great righteousness or small love, we have done a very good job.
Coupled with Qin Yi's strength and what he did after possessing invincible strength...
Qin Yi can be said to be a saint in this world.
No, Qin Yi is really a saint in this world.
He is a saint recognized by heaven and earth.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Hou nodded firmly and said: "Sir, did you overlook something?"
"Ignored something..." Zhou Boyuan stared blankly at the scenery outside the window, murmuring and lost in thought.
"Everything has pros and cons..."
Zhou Boyuan couldn't help but think of Qin Yi's figure in his mind, and remembered Qin Yi's mantra.
"I know. Before, I only thought about the disadvantages of the Immortal Martial Arts to the court and the benefits of the Immortal Martial Arts to the sect, but I did not see the benefits of the Immortal Martial Arts to the court and the disadvantages to the sect."
Because of Feng Yu's evaluation of Qin Yi when he went crazy, and because of Chai Xin's theory, Zhou Boyuan has always been wary of Qin Yi.
Sometimes Qin Yi thinks the worst, especially when the establishment of this new orthodoxy brought drastic changes to the human race in the Central Plains.
The deductions involved are massive, and my brain power is limited, so I can only be biased and draw out the key points. However, the vigilance that I had deep in my heart before naturally took this opportunity to do something without my noticing.
, let your deductions go in a direction that is unfavorable to the court and beneficial to the clan, such as Qin Yi's conspiracy in the past.
"Dean..."
Only then did Zhou Boyuan realize that the dean's influence on him was so profound.
Zhou Boyuan began to deduce it again.
This time the deduction is about the parts that are good for the court but bad for the sect.
After Zhou Boyuan's deduction, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I understand. The establishment of the new Taoism is based on the original Taoism. How can this not be an opportunity for those who practice civil and military arts?
”
As the current mainstream, the way of civil and martial arts is destined to be replaced by the way of immortal and martial arts. However, the transformation of the way of civil and martial arts into the way of immortal and martial arts will not have any side effects. Not only will the strength not be reduced, it can even be done like him in one fell swoop.
Break the shackles of civil and military ways, directly break through the golden elixir, and advance to the Dharma.
】
"I can do it, so students from Liyang Academy can naturally do it too. They have been trapped in the golden elixir for a longer time and have accumulated deeper knowledge than me. Since I can break through, they can naturally do it too."
By then, there will only be thousands of Nascent Soul Realm experts in the imperial court.
The Nascent Soul corresponds to the Dharma.
Thousands of Dharma Realm experts, what a powerful force this will be.
Even if the aristocratic family has not declined and has not retreated to its ancestral land, they still have to avoid its edge, let alone the situation where the aristocratic family has declined and retreated from the world.
Thinking of this, Zhou Boyuan suddenly laughed.
"The decline of the aristocratic family has dealt a greater blow to the sect. They have lost the ally of the aristocratic family. Without the thousands of years of heritage of the aristocratic family, the sect has only been established for less than ten years. How can we assemble with us in the early days of the path of immortal martial arts?
The last elite court of the civil and military dynasties to contend with?"
In the early days of the Xianwu Era, enjoying the dividends of the Civil and Military Era, they had a higher start.
You can throw the sect far away from the beginning.
Has a strong first-mover advantage.
"Then it's about how to maintain the first-mover advantage."
With such a huge advantage, we will naturally have the means to maintain it for a long time, even to the middle or even later stages of the Xianwu Era.
"In addition..."
Zhou Boyuan is aware of his physical condition.
When he was in the Golden Core Realm, he suffered hidden injuries from searching for the Dean before the Golden Core Realm. In addition, the hidden wounds caused by the Dean's death and breakdown of his will greatly shortened his lifespan. According to his estimation, he only had three years left at most.
He has a lifespan of forty years, but after being promoted to Nascent Soul, the hidden wounds on his body were healed, and his lifespan increased twenty to thirty times.
"Five hundred years..."
This is the reason why he had too many hidden wounds in the early stage, and spent a lot of time repairing hidden wounds as he advanced. If there were not so many hidden wounds, his lifespan would only be longer.
"It can even reach a thousand years..."
Zhou Boyuan suddenly thought that the preface of "Hunyuan Jue" did mention that the magic power of the Immortal Martial Arts has the effects of healing, suppressing demons, extending life, etc.
"Is the way of immortal martial arts so good at extending life?"
Five hundred or even a thousand years of life.
What is this concept?
"This is just Yuanying, there is Yuanshen behind it."
This is just them, what about Qin Yi, the ancestor of immortality?
What is his lifespan?
I'm afraid, there will only be more.
"It turns out that with the advent of the Immortal Martial Arts, everything before will be broken, and the great scene may enter the mythical era when the Holy Emperor has been in power for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."
Living forever is no longer a dream, but will become a reality.
Myths and legends will become reality.
"No wonder the Holy Emperor's orthodoxy is named after the word "Xian".
In such an era and such changes, are they not worthy of a fairy tale?
"The Age of Mythology..."
In this case, the underlying logic of many things will change.
The logic of how the imperial court handles government affairs and manages the people will also change.
"This will be a truly earth-shaking change."
And he is fortunate to be the main executor in this change.
What a blessing this is.
"Perhaps, that far-fetched dream of everyone being like a dragon and the world being united can really come true in my hands."
After all, he has a long-lasting vision. After all, this is the age of mythology, what else is impossible?
Seeing Zhou Boyuan's eyes getting brighter and brighter, and his aura getting stronger and stronger, Zhou Hou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Mr. finally figured it out.
That's great.
Zhou Boyuan came back to his senses, stroked his long beard, and looked at Zhou Hou with admiration in his eyes.
"Xiao Hou, the promotion of the immortal way starts with you."
……
In front of Shaoyao, Luo Hong reported to Shaoyao the record of monitoring Zhou Boyuan.
"After Prime Minister Zhou returned, he immediately summoned all the first-rank officials in the imperial court to consecrate the sect leader, create the path of immortal martial arts, and speak frankly about the advantages and limitations of the path of immortal martial arts."
After hearing this, Shaoyao's eyebrows couldn't help but relax.
Discuss the deeds but not the heart.
No matter what Zhou Boyuan thought, there was nothing to criticize in what he did.
"None of the first-rank officials could refuse the greatly increased life span. Some of them even couldn't wait to start reciting Taoist scriptures on the spot."
Hearing this, Shaoyao's eyes lit up and said: "Oh? I didn't expect that it was because of this that they so quickly abandoned the way of civil and military affairs and accepted the way of immortality and martial arts."
Luo Hong rolled his eyes secretly.
Who can endure the temptation of being promoted to Nascent Soul and having a lifespan of a thousand years?
Shaoyao also reacted at this time: "Well, from now on, the focus of our publicity will also be on extending life."
Then Shaoyao's thoughts turned back again and asked with a smile: "Did any of those first-level officials resonate with the formation and derive spiritual roots?"
Luo Hong nodded and said: "Yes, there were three of them on the spot, which resonated with the formation and derived spiritual roots."
The smile on Shaoyao's face disappeared instantly.
"I didn't expect that the way of civil and military affairs would have such a great impact on studying the Taoist Scriptures?"
Miscalculated.
Shaoyao found that she was happy too early.
The rise of the immortal and martial arts has indeed caused the decline of the civil and martial arts, but that does not mean that those who practiced the civil and martial arts have also declined.
After all, they are the top few elites of the human race.
Even if they switch to the path of immortal martial arts, they will just change a mountain peak and climb to the original height again.
"I'm afraid that not only will the imperial court not decline, but it will become stronger because of it."
Shaoyao's face looked a little ugly.
If Shaoyao can think of it, Luo Hong can naturally think of it too.
Luo Hong understood at that time that the strength of the imperial court would rise sharply, and as the strength of the imperial court declined, the sect represented by Shaoyao would inevitably be weakened.
Shaoyao lost miserably this time.
However, Shaoyao's complexion quickly recovered and she said to Luo Hong: "Go on..."
"Although others did not succeed, there were three successful examples, which made them full of confidence in the Tao of Immortal Martial Arts. Then, under the auspices of Prime Minister Zhou, a group of people began to discuss the promotion plan of the Tao of Immortal Martial Arts." p>
Hearing this, Shaoyao's eyes couldn't help but narrowed.
"What plan did they finally discuss?"
Luo Hong quickly replied: "It is better to learn from the previous plan of Liyang Academy and add Taoist scriptures to their studies, cultivate their ideas of immortality from an early age, increase their probability of improving their resonance with the formation, and reduce their difficulty in deriving spiritual roots.
Start learning "Hunyuan Jue" from an early age, so that they can be trained in the orthodox and systematic way of immortality and martial arts from an early age."
"Carry out orthodox and systematic training from an early age..." Shaoyao murmured and repeated the last sentence Luo Hong said. She couldn't help but admired, stroking her hands and smiling: "What a Zhou Boyuan, who actually directly used the training system of civil and military methods.
, moved to the path of immortal martial arts, it’s really amazing.”
This point is also completely applicable to sects.
Small sects and martial arts schools can also be opened to the public to cultivate their sect's immortal talents from an early age.
"Prime Minister Zhou and the others also discussed the corresponding organization, the Immortal Book Department, which specializes in recording people who practice the immortal way."
Shaoyao smiled and nodded: "This is pretty much what I thought. I am also planning to make statistics on all the people in the sect, specifically on the conversion status of the Immortal Martial Arts."
Having said this, Shaoyao looked up at Luo Hong and asked with a smile: "Rangzhi is still idle. If you are always idle like this, you will be useless. Let her take charge of this matter."
Luo Hong quickly thanked Shaoyao for Yanzhi.
When Rouge was in the Dragon Palace, she had managed all the maids in the Dragon Palace as the Dragon King's maid. Later, Feng Yu came back and ascended the throne as emperor. Rouge also managed the palace for Feng Yu as a female official and kept Feng Yu's palace in order.
.
Has extensive experience in management.
Just counting a piece of data, with your own help, is not enough.
In addition, as Shaoyao said, Rouge does need to do something to distract her attention.
Otherwise, it would not be a problem to always guard Feng Yu's crystal coffin.
Shaoyao then asked: "Is there any more?"
Luo Hong quickly stopped his divergent attention and thoughts, and then replied: "There are still some details, such as how officials study Taoist scriptures, convert to the path of immortality and martial arts, how to copy more Taoist scriptures, distribute them to the people, how to publicize them among the people, etc.
."
After hearing this, Shaoyao was silent for a long time and then said: "Although I don't want to admit it," but I had to admit: "Zhou Boyuan is indeed better than me."
"Shaoyao, are you okay?" Luo Hong looked at Shaoyao worriedly.
This was the first time he saw Shaoyao's expression.
Shaoyao raised his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine. Zhou Boyuan is so capable. It's best. If the master's immortal martial arts is promoted, it will only go faster."
Shaoyao glanced in the direction of Huaijinyuan and said: "I am the Lord's retainer. As long as you do good things to the Lord, it is good things to me. Before, I targeted Zhou Boyuan only because Zhou Boyuan had betrayed the Lord.
Your Majesty, this person is not trustworthy, but in terms of ability, this person is indeed unrivaled... Your Majesty, it is probably because of this that he relies on him so much."
Luo Hong glanced at Shaoyao in surprise. He previously thought that Shaoyao's hostility to Zhou Boyuan came from the opposition between forces, the battles between factions, and the competition between positions. Now it seems that for Shaoyao, these are all
By the way, the main reason is because of loyalty to Qin Yi.
Shaoyao turned his head and looked at Luo Hong and said: "My lord has the strength and confidence to control Zhou Boyuan. However, we still cannot take it lightly. You continue to monitor Zhou Boyuan."
Although Shaoyao knows that the Lord has the power of listening, the level is many times higher than that of Luo Hong, and he can easily monitor anything.
As long as the Lord thinks, nothing can escape the Lord’s ears.
However, Qin Yi focuses on cultivation after all, and there are always some omissions.
As the Lord's retainer, she naturally has to check for the Lord's mistakes and make up for them.
Shaoyao held a strand of hair in front of her temples and murmured softly: "Although it is said that the heart does not matter when it comes to deeds, and there is nothing wrong with Zhou Boyuan's deeds, however, if the heart is not with the Lord, many things must be guarded against, and the greater the ability,
, the greater the damage caused, the higher the mind, the better at disguise, especially now that Zhou Boyuan's lifespan has increased significantly, Zhou Boyuan cannot be taken lightly."
Luo Hong nodded clearly.
Thinking of Zhou Boyuan's methods and the current situation, Luo Hong thought about it for a moment. Although he was a little presumptuous, he finally asked: "It's just surveillance, don't you need to do anything?"
"No need." Shaoyao naturally knew what Luo Hong meant, and shook his head firmly to reject it, and emphatically warned again: "Before Zhou Boyuan betrays the Lord, he must not do anything extreme. He can only
Monitor!"
Luo Hong looked at Shaoyao worriedly and said: "Zongmen..."
Ever since Qin Yi handed over all the sect affairs to Shaoyao, Shaoyao and the sect have been bound together.
As Qin Yi created great achievements, he became the Holy Emperor and brought the imperial court into the sphere of influence.
The imperial court and the sect became a pair of enemies.
The two are both one and opposite.
Like two ends of a seesaw, if you rise, I will fall; if you rise, I will fall.
If the current situation continues to develop, the result will be very obvious: the imperial court will be strong and the sect will be weak.
As for why Luo Hong is so interested...
Luo Hong, Rouge, and Shaoyao all come from the land of Guixu, and they are naturally one.
Since Feng Yu's death and the two surrendered to Qin Yi, the three of them have long been bound together.
Otherwise, when Shaoyao thinks about hiring people, the first thing she thinks of is Luo Hong and Yanzhi.
Shaoyao would not hand over the intelligence department to Luo Hong or hand over such an important matter as the promotion of immortality to Yanzhi.
Shaoyao looked at the scenery outside the window and said leisurely: "As for the sect... the future of the sect is not here."
