Chapter 1017: The fog rises outside the mountain gate
Not to mention the secular dynasty, just talking about the undercurrents in the world of cultivation recently...
The time for Emei to reopen its residence is getting closer, and the mood of being a little impetuous when it comes to being a side-door.
It’s not their fault. Once Emei reopens the mansion smoothly, it will definitely be bad news for the side sects and evil demons and heretics in the world of cultivation.
Once Emei reopens, it means a new round of war between good and evil will inevitably occur.
In fact, the battle between good and evil is just a reason. The real root lies in the luck of the world of cultivation and the competition for cultivation resources.
By the way, as Emei became the leader of the righteous path, the forces of the side sects and the evil demons and heretics were severely suppressed, and their lives were quite depressed.
In particular, when Wutai Mountain Hunyuan Patriarch, known as the most powerful person in the side sect, was defeated in the second Emei Fighting Sword, and the Wutai Sect, known as the most powerful person in the side sect, was even more difficult for the left-minded forces to survive.
As a member of the side sect, the Huashan School can only survive with its tail between its legs.
Of course, even if life is a bit frustrating, the Huashan School only focuses on the world of cultivation, and is too lazy to take a look at things in the world.
The nearby secular Huashan School cannot catch their sight at all.
However, just a few innate warriors, who are only at the lowest level of disciples in the Huashan Sect, naturally cannot attract the attention of a group of Huashan monks.
Even if the Guanzhong area suddenly became fierce in martial arts, it did not arouse the interest of the monks from the Huashan Sect.
It is true that they are sidetracks in the world of cultivation, but they are not evil demons and heretics who rely on flesh and blood to cultivate. Even if the martial arts of Guanzhong are so prosperous, it will be of no use to them.
Unless the martial arts in Guanzhong can evolve to the level of martial arts entering the Tao, they will be just stronger ants.
Recently, the Huashan Sect has frequently contacted some monk friends.
In addition to wanting to join forces to keep warm in the storm of Emei's reopening, it also means forming an offensive and defensive alliance.
By the way, I would like to consider whether I can make a Yin-Yin Emei Sect monk.
Any monk who can successfully build a foundation is not a talented practitioner who is selected from thousands of times, and they are very arrogant.
Why are the disciples of Emei so awesome? Are they all the monks of the other sects born inferior?
Not only were the members of the Huashan Sect acting secretly, but other monks from other sects and even some casual cultivators also started to move.
If they can prevent Emei from opening the reopening of their residence, they will have more luck.
Chen Ying naturally didn't know these things, but even if he knew them, he wouldn't care.
At this time, he quietly stood in the void, waiting for the possible unlucky Huashan Sect to appear, and crashed into the foggy array he had arranged with talismans.
Ahem, in order to give the monks from Huashan Sect a "surprise", Chen Ying spent a lot of effort and directly arranged a special arrangement in addition to the Dutian Flame Array of the Huashan Sect in the form of Void Condensation Talisman.
The fog formation that confuses the spiritual consciousness.
He has no ability to harm, and he can only let the monks with spiritual consciousness go around and get lost.
Seeing that the stars in the sky had come out, he had no eagerness and turned around and turned into a ray of light and disappeared directly.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry, just wait slowly.
It was another half a cup of tea, and he quietly returned to his home in the capital, and then started his normal daily life.
It’s different for Gao Gong to be the chief minister of the cabinet. He had the luck of half gold and half blue. With the blessing of the official position of the chief minister, he directly turned into a faint blue pillar of luck.
He just became the chief minister of the cabinet, and Gao Gong was very interested in working.
Anyone who is not blind can see that the Ming Dynasty has been declining.
Gao Gong has ambition to win over the sky...
Chen Ying was not interested in playing with him. In short, as long as it didn't involve himself or the six doors, he was too lazy to waste his energy.
If you don’t use any ruthless actions to the court, you can only do whatever you want to do, at most you can do it to the level of Zhang Juzheng.
Gao Gong did not have Lao Zhang's conditions for administration, at least Emperor Longqing would never trust him without conditions, nor would he let Gao Gong take over the power in the cabinet.
But that's the case, this guy's methods were one after another, and the entire court was shocked.
As the second assistant to the cabinet, Chen Ying's status is still very strong.
At least, there is generally not an important thing, and Gao Gong is not willing to take the initiative to provoke him.
It’s not that there are no officials who want to take the shortcuts to curry favor with Gao Gong, the new cabinet chief, by impeaching Chen Ying and his important officials.
After all, in the late Jiajing Dynasty, Chen Ying's ranking was always above Gao Gong, and there would inevitably be no narrow-minded people who judge others by themselves.
As a result, they naturally had no good ending...
The same thing is said, Chen Ying does not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if someone wants to take the initiative to find fault, unless the other party is as good as Hai Rui, they will basically be accurate when they check it.
At this time, the Six Doors are showing the power.
Especially the good players who work as "temporary workers" in Liusanmen, and the Beggars' Sect helps collect information, no court official can stand it.
By the middle and late Ming Dynasty, as the civil servants reached their peak, the officialdom began to become loose, and all kinds of disgusting things emerged one after another.
Not to mention anything else, Xu Jie, the former chief minister of the cabinet who was overthrown by Gao Gong, was originally just a small landlord. Before he became rich, the entire family had only hundreds of acres of land.
But by the time Xu Jie left the court, Huating Xu's family had become one of the best local gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, with tens of thousands of acres of land alone.
The upward movement and the lower effect can be imagined, and the degree of corruption of the Ming Dynasty officials at this time was imagined.
The fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty itself is not comparable to that of the Song Dynasty in the past, and it was able to use a huge amount of money to buy the entire bureaucratic system.
On the contrary, due to the serious insufficient fiscal revenue, the army also quickly degenerated under the intentional indulgence of the civil service group, and the authority of the court began to decline rapidly.
Not to mention, Jiangnan, which was a place where taxes and food supplies were important in the Ming Dynasty, was almost controlled by the nobles left behind in Nanjing, as well as local families and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Both taxes and food supplies were slowly decreasing.
This is a major hidden danger. In a prosperous Jiangnan region, which is not good, there will be no taxes to be received in the future.
Chen Ying saw all these, but he did not intend to join them actively.
He was not afraid of anyone, but the emperor sitting on the dragon throne did not have the courage and courage to turn the table up, and there was no need for him to interfere.
At present, most of his attention is still focused on the world of cultivation, and Chen Ying admitted that he is more interested in this aspect.
In the cabinet, it is not as interesting as improving one's own strength.
At this time, he was looking forward to the fog array outside the Huashan Gate, which would give Huashan monks a big surprise...
