Chapter 483 Wang Fubo calculates the 'Way of Heaven'
Cao Jiang Tongzhi's yamen has never been lively, but recently there have been a lot more officials and businessmen coming to visit.
Because Cao Jiang and Tong knew Wang Xianggong, he personally took action and killed the demon king entrenched at the mouth of Shengyue Lake with one sword.
Many people witnessed this demon slaying with their own eyes, including those from the Patrol Prison and the Demon Elimination Prison.
According to previous rules, practicing magic by officials in the court was tantamount to treason. However, after the decline of the country's fortunes, such things were turned a blind eye.
However, even so, in the opinion of most Beiyang officials, Cao Jiang Tongzhi Wang Fubo should be the last person to practice magical powers.
Because he is a "Five Chao Chuanlu" and a loyal minister of the imperial court...
"Wang Gong, the Demon King's corpse is used by the Xuntian Prison to make elixirs and medicine. They said that as long as Wang Gong agrees, the conditions can be met."
"Open it casually?"
Wang Fubo suddenly laughed, "Go and tell them, I want twenty armored ships, five hundred pairs of precious armors, and healing elixirs for fifty thousand people. Also, there is no shortage of food in the Tianxian Prison, so I will return
There will be fifty ships fully loaded with grain."
"Wang Gong..."
"Do you think my price is too harsh?"
"I'm afraid the patrol supervisor will definitely not agree."
"It doesn't matter, just reply."
Wang Fubo, who didn't care about this, said with a smile, "The Xuntian Prison is not my supervisor at Jiang Tongzhi Yamen, so what can I do if I ignore it? If they really do it, I won't be afraid of them."
"yes!"
After his subordinates left, Wang Fubo stood up, walked to the corridor, looked up at the three owls, took out three pieces of dried meat from his sleeves and fed them, and then asked: "Where is he now?"
"Heavenly Soldiers."
"Heavenly General."
"Pursuit."
The owl ate the dried meat and answered as if the question was wrong.
But Wang Fubo pondered for a while, stroking his beard and said: "It seems that the situation is not very good, but I believe that there is a reason for him to do this."
After Wang Fubo thought carefully and combined with the recent changes in the world, he vaguely guessed that Wei Hao might be waiting for an opportunity.
But what kind of timing is it?
Recent changes have made it difficult for Wang Fubo to see problems from an ordinary person's perspective.
As Tongzhi Cao Jiang, his duty was originally to take care of the safety of the river and the safety of the people. However, as more and more non-human monsters appeared in the world, their manifestations became commonplace. He had to strengthen the river embankments and inspect the river defenses.
Dealing with many non-human beings and monsters.
For example, some beaver spirits, which usually do not harm the people, built their nests by the river. Wang Fubo had to treat them with courtesy first and then fight with them. After making arrangements, these beaver spirits who were kind to people would migrate naturally.
It doesn't make sense, Wang Fubo can also slay demons.
There are also some mass graves and ancient battlefields along the river. After the changes in the sea, they have now become reed marshes or swamps. When the rivers were dredged, Wang Fubo had to go there in person to mourn and euthanize them.
For example, in Dry Bones Mountain in the northeast of Wufeng County, he also teamed up with the Ring-bearing Skeleton General to transcend many undead souls.
In the past, this was impossible. As an official of the Great Xia court, you only had to take care of people, not non-people.
But in places where the national destiny is declining or even dissipating, it is impossible to rely on righteousness to make ordinary people obedient.
Therefore, this has to test the official's ability and means.
Wang Fubo possesses the God-given light and turns it into a magic sword in his eyes, so he is naturally invincible, but most officials are obviously not at this level yet.
"Good work."
Three more pieces of dried meat were presented to each other. The three owls took the dried meat in their mouths and fluttered their wings and flew away.
Watching the owl fly farther and farther, Wang Fubo said with emotion: "Sincerity is a righteous man among birds."
Wang Fubo was extremely impressed when he served as a messenger for Wuchao County.
"If, as the demon prisoner said, the heavenly soldiers chasing the elephant come from different heavens, then the elephant must be waiting for something."
Wang Fubo was a little irritated. At this time, Wang Fubo was quite angry that he was just messing with Jiang Tongzhi. If he were the prefect, he would have grasped a lot of information more accurately.
"There are a lot of monsters gathering in Beiyang Mansion, and I'm afraid there will be trouble in Jiangweidao. Moreover, I have received news that my imperial sister-in-law is ready to restart the supervision of all the world's roads, and the observer of Jiangweidao has been appointed."
In front of the table in the hall, Naojiu Lang held the teacup in both hands and said with an indifferent expression.
"Enodo Road Observer?"
Frowning slightly, Wang Fubo immediately asked: "Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know, but those who can exercise the power of supervision are usually officials of various ministries. At the worst, they are also ministers."
"I now suspect that someone in the court is colluding with Heaven, but there is no evidence."
"What can you do if you have evidence? You are just a Tongzhi Cao Jiang, not even a prefect."
After saying this, Lang Jiumei reminded Wang Fubo, "Also, there is finally a problem at Taichang Temple. This month's sacrifices can no longer sense the will of the late emperor."
"You use the word 'ye' really well."
Wang Fubo's tone was sarcastic, while Naojiu Lang's face was expressionless, "First there are problems at the local level, then the national destiny declines, then there are problems with the central government, and finally the national destiny dies. This has been the case in all dynasties."
"Okay, okay, why bother talking like this. Alang, if you receive any news, you'd better tell Mr. Wang quickly."
Suddenly, a very charming girl walked out. She looked like a beautiful middle-aged woman, but the fluffy fox tail behind her betrayed her identity.
This is a real vixen.
"Now I can confirm that the clan began to prepare for the possibility of changing the dynasty at least fifty years ago. Daxia may die, but their status will not change. This is their plan."
Lang Naojiu obviously listened to the vixen's words, so he began to tell some news that Wang Fubo knew little about, "The changes in the appointment, removal, and reuse of officials in the capital also started fifty years ago. Like Li Huairou, he is a 'Gaotao family'
After that, the rest of the important ministers are actually pretty much the same, they are all descendants of the ancient saints. All the important ministers at the ministry level and above are without exception. Only when they reach the level of minister, can they be considered to have a few ordinary backgrounds..."
Wang Fubo didn't believe it at first, but after some discussion with Naojiu Lang, he discovered that all the ministers, that is, the ministers, were all direct descendants of the ancient saints.
Li Huairou, the provincial minister, is just a typical example.
Wei Hao's killing of Li Huairou was nothing; Wei Hao's killing of a provincial minister only shocked the government and the public; but Wei Hao's killing of the "Gaotao clan" as the head of the family was an act of injustice, and it was an act of indignation between humans and gods...
Some things are actually okay when you don’t know them.
The more you know it, the more depressed you become.
Wang Fubo, who was already frowning, now had almost no trace of his eyebrows. After a long time, Wang Fubo asked: "What are the benefits of colluding with the heavens?"
"Did you know that there are six heavens in heaven?"
"Know."
"Then you know that these six heavens are actually divided into star realms. Only the human world cannot control them. Therefore, the six heavens usually take turns to follow the human way and draw divine power from the human world."
Seeing the astonishment on Wang Fubo's face, No. 19 Lang chuckled, "This is like local officials betting on the next Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the next Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. No one can always be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, just like the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
It has never always been Li Huairou."
"So, what's the benefit?"
"When the opportunity arises to change the dynasty, perhaps he will become the new generation's co-owner of the world."
"Not the Human Emperor?"
"There can be no emperor."
So said the Nineteenth Lang.
And Wang Fubo had a possibility pop up in his mind: If the elephant succeeds, will he be the new emperor?
After thinking about it, Wang Fubo came up with an answer: no.
This is not because no one responds or follows, but because Wei Hao himself will not become the Human Emperor, and will even step on the Human Emperor's crown directly under his feet.
"Just being the co-lord of the world, does he have such great appeal to the Ancient Saint Queen?"
"Of course it's more than that. When Taichang Temple communicated with the late emperor, they also vaguely knew some news that had been circulated in the underworld."
"Underworld?"
"The three realms have their own communication, and they all originate from the same place."
I heard Naojiu Lang continue to say, "The new co-owner of the world will be the 'Son of Heaven' recognized by the three realms."
"Emperor?!"
Wang Fubo was suddenly startled. This word contained too many possibilities and profound meanings.
Son of Heaven, son of God.
It can be explained this way.
But obviously, there must be something else.
"When I left Xiayi, I checked many classics of Honglu Temple, and they were all vaguely mentioned in the tribute records of ghosts and gods in past dynasties."
"What?"
"The way of heaven."
"The way of heaven?"
Wang Fubo was not shocked. On the contrary, he was just confused. Then he asked Jianjiu Lang, "The theory of the way of heaven has been around since ancient times. During the Tang Dynasty and Yu Dynasty, there was also a lot of talk about 'sensing the way of heaven'. But they all failed."
Finally, why do the royal family of this dynasty have such confidence?"
"Because after Taizu, there will be no emperor again."
This answer made Wang Fubo confused again, but after thinking for a long time, he suddenly made a bold guess, so he asked Naojiu Lang, "Do you have some secrets that you can't tell?"
No. 19 Lang did not speak, but nodded.
"I see……"
At this moment, Wang Fubo could confirm that Naojiu Lang should have been banned, and it was not banned after he was born, but before he was born, four to five hundred years before he was born, and the ban was imposed in advance.
This is a bloodline restriction that prevents Naojiro from telling some secrets unique to the royal family.
"No wonder in every dynasty, there are always people trying to breed the royal family..."
Wang Fubo stroked his beard and sighed. As a "Five Chao Chuan Lu", his homework was classics, but he also dabbled in a wide range of unofficial history novels, many of which were stories about the royal family, most of which were about adultery such as stealing concubines, or about some romantic king.
Leave wild seeds outside.
Every story must have a prototype. Based on many records, Wang Fubo summarized the remarks of the Nineteenth Lang at this moment. He guessed that some wealthy families in ancient times may have considered mixing their own bloodline into the royal family, and then stealing the royal family's secrets.
.
But obviously, this approach doesn't work.
Wang Fubo guessed that the bloodline restriction should be two-fold, one is access, and the other is access.
If you are not of the royal bloodline, you cannot come into contact with the secret secrets; but if you have the royal bloodline, you cannot eliminate the secret secrets.
"With your identity, the secrets you can master are indeed as vast as the mist."
After thinking for a while, Wang Fubo asked again, "So, as the country's fortunes decline, can secrets be leaked through insinuations?"
Naojiu Lang still didn't speak, but he still nodded.
"Then let's find a way to deduce it."
He did as he was told, and Wang Fubo informed Cao Jiang and Tongzhi Yamen that he had caught a cold and was going to rest for a few days.
After that, Wang Fubo began to list the questions. The questions were all broken into pieces, but they all pointed to a certain range. In this way, some guesses could be determined through this range.
The first thing Wang Fubo confirmed was that the bloodline restriction of the Si surname was personally arranged by Emperor Taizu of Great Xia, and then the first heir was born.
Wang Fubo then used this as a basis to judge that the Human Emperor should not do such a thing to destroy the world, so it could only be for the sake of common people.
Emperor Zhuanxu's "Jeidi Tiantong" stripped divine power from the human world, and what Emperor Yu had to do was to strengthen the last human belief, which was that "man can conquer heaven."
That is to say, after Emperor Yu, while the human race generally respected the heaven and ancestors, they also believed that they could cope with natural disasters with their own abilities.
After repeated tests, the relatively vague legend of "Tiandao" was finally obtained from Naojiulang.
"In other words, the Ancestors and Emperors have always wanted to create the 'Way of Heaven'?"
Wang Fubo was quite shocked by this conclusion.
"Why?"
Now that we have "Jedi's Heavenly Power" and "man can conquer heaven", why do we need to create a "heaven" above our heads with our own hands?
This is completely unreasonable.
Puzzled, Wang Fubo decided to put himself in another person's shoes. The perspective he assumed was not that of Renzu and Renhuang, but that of Wei Hao.
If I were Wei Hao, would I do this? What is the reason for doing this?
While thinking about this problem, Wang Fubo fell into meditation for a long time. The whole day and night, Naojiu Lang stood by to protect the Dharma.
When it got dark and dawned again, Wang Fubo opened his eyes, took a long breath, and then said: "Indeed, this is a decision that a hero would make."
"Are you sure that in just two days, you thought of the Human Emperor's decision?"
No. 19 Lang didn't believe it at all. If it were really that easy, people in the past dynasties would have already guessed it.
"snort."
Wang Fubo sneered, "Maybe in the past, there were people like you and me who deduced the arrangement of the Ancestor and the Emperor, but even if they found it, they could only do nothing."
"Why?"
"Because at least they can profit from it, and this profit is enough to shut them up."
"..."
The confused Najiu Lang had no idea what Wang Fubo had guessed, but Wang Fubo was obviously not afraid of revealing the secret, and said directly: "'Heaven's way' is a shackle. No matter who is in power in the world, whether it is good or evil, good or bad.
No matter how bad or evil, you can't break this shackles. Because this is a common thing in the world, only by admitting to seek benefits for the world can you in turn acknowledge the "way of heaven". No matter whether this person has ambitions or evil thoughts, the "way of heaven",
Just look at the results.”
"What's the meaning?"
"If the evil heretic cannot bear the shackles, then he must admit that he does not want to benefit the world. Then, the 'Way of Heaven' will let all living beings understand, and then jointly suppress this evil heretic. So, if you want to do whatever you want in the human world,
, we must first destroy the 'Way of Heaven', but if we want to control the world in the least labor-intensive way, relying on the 'Way of Heaven' is the most convenient way."
"But once you control the human world through the 'way of heaven', wouldn't it mean that you will be controlled by...well, I see..."
"You finally understand."
Wang Fubo was quite emotional at this moment, "'Heaven's Way' was not formed in a day. It was continuously reinforced by ancestors and emperors of all generations. Perhaps in the process, they also sacrificed their own cultivation. You must know that those who descend from heaven to earth will have too much cultivation."
We cannot reach the realm of immortals. Human Ancestor himself also abides by this restriction. And precisely because Human Ancestor abides by it, this restriction is even more recognized by all living beings."
"All living beings..."
"Yes, people's willpower. I have also wondered why people's willpower is so important to the gods in the heaven. Is it just because people's willpower can be collected to improve their realm? Now it seems that it is more than that."
Wang Fubo's eyes were filled with luck. The sword flew out of his pupils and then moved rapidly. The glowing wake actually built one model after another.
"If this is the human world, this is the road to heaven..."
The model in the palm of my hand became more and more detailed. Kyushu was shrouded in a huge barrier, and outside the barrier, there were countless passages leading to the distant starry sky.
"With the formation of the 'Dao of Heaven', people's willpower will not flow into the heaven at all, because it will be intercepted by the 'Dao of Heaven'. One year, two years, one hundred, two hundred years, or even thousands of years may not cause any changes, but
Over time, this is a story of ebb and flow. There may still not be that many immortal gods flying into the sky and escaping to the earth, but as long as they step out of the 'way of heaven', they will definitely be the most powerful and powerful."
"So, destroy the 'Way of Heaven'?"
"It's possible, but it's probably slim."
Wang Fubo said confidently, "This is the consensus in the world that has been strengthened by the ancestors and emperors of the past generations. The 'way of heaven' at this moment seems to be human but not human, and seems to be conscious and unconscious. If you want to break such a 'way of heaven', you must have the ability to overwhelm all the ancestors and emperors."
strength."
"Is there any chance?"
"Maybe." Wang Fubo did not deny this, but he gave an example to Naojiu Lang, "'Tiandao' is a shackle, but it is for the strong who want to get involved in the world. For ordinary people, 'Tiandao'
' is what they think and hope for. For example, 'fairness', maybe not everyone desires fairness. How can princes, grandsons, officials and nobles desire fairness as much as peddlers and pawns? Unfortunately, there are more peddlers and pawns in the world, but fewer dignitaries.
, so longing for fairness is the right way.”
"This way is one of the 'Heavenly Ways'?"
"Exactly."
Wang Fubo was in a very agitated mood at this moment. He had a feeling that he wished he had been born too late. If he traveled across time and space, tens of thousands of years ago, he would probably have seen the Human Emperor in a certain time and space, and made an extremely great thing.
Decide.
"In this case, the 'Tiandao' will be the strongest. Why did I say there is no chance and you said maybe?"
"Because if it were me, I would plan for thousands of years, continue to confuse people's hearts, and do everything possible to deny the fairness in the hearts of traffickers and people, or make them forget about pursuing fairness, until the thoughts in their hearts are flattened. In this way, in the 'Way of Heaven'
Fairness is no longer the right path..."
Wang Fubo's words were full of confusion, which made Naojiu Lang feel horrified and his scalp was numb. However, Wang Fubo did not stop, but continued, "As long as persistent denial and deception are passed down from generation to generation, one day there will be more fools."
Foolish husband, at this moment, I want to overthrow the 'Way of Heaven'. In fact, I don't need to take action at all, because the fool myself, that is, the sentient beings who have been deceived by me, will overthrow it myself."
"..."
"At that time, the world will naturally change."
As soon as these words came out, Lang Naojiu instinctively wanted to stab Wang Fubo to death.
