Chapter 300 299. Holy Emperor (Subscribe!)
Spirituality
Xu Qing's mind moved, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Is the sealing of our sect related to this?"

Before the death of every elder in the temple, he would leave a trace of his spirit in the sect altar to protect the disciples who came after him.

That ancestor should be no exception.

He had just learned from Elder Qingzheng that the purpose of sealing the Yuanfu Temple's altar was actually to suppress the spirit of the ancestor inside the altar.

He originally did not understand why Emperor Ming went to such great lengths to take advantage of the opportunity when the Lord of Hongze Lake fled across the river to seal the altar of their Yuanfu Temple.

Until now, my senior sister mentioned that the ancestor also left a trace of his spirit in the Arctic Exorcism House.

He was suddenly inspired to connect the two.

"It is indeed related." Jing Qing did not hide anything this time, and her voice rang out in Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, "According to my understanding, the reason why the spirit left by the ancestor in Dingxin Tower is so special and cannot be the same as the spirits on the third to eighth floors is perhaps the work of the Great Sheng Ancestor."

"The founder made corresponding arrangements for this, which is to use the sect's altar."

"When the spiritual energy in the Dingxin Tower is awakened, the other spiritual energy in the sect's altar will also wake up at the same time."

"When the two souls merge, this limitation will be broken."

"So that's how it is." A thoughtful look flashed across Xu Qing's eyes.

"Take out your patrol token. Only Tianpeng and the patrol have ever been able to awaken the spirit of the ancestor."

"That's why I asked you to break into the palace!"

"No intelligence, but powerful. So, Senior Sister wants me to control the power left by our ancestors?"

Xu Qing knew that there were certain secret methods that could not only preserve a wisp of soul, but also retain a portion of the original body's power.

This is probably the purpose why senior sister said so much.

"Yes." Jing Qing did not hide it, "Your existence is the variable of this incident."

"Understood." Xu Qing gave orders to the demon hunters according to his senior sister's request.

Then he took out the token and used the connection between the token and the Arctic Exorcism House to connect with the spirit of the ancestor in the calligraphy and painting on the ninth floor of Dingxin Tower.

The demon hunters behind him also took out their own tokens and blessed Xu Qing with the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation of the North Pole Exorcism Institute.

At this moment, the number of demon hunters gathered here exceeds Zhou Tian’s, which is enough to perform this prestigious formation.

When Xu Qing tried to connect with the spirit of the founder, Baiyun Temple, Bailong Temple and Yunshan Academy could no longer hold back and were ready to take action.

"What I am doing now is not just for my own selfish desires, but more for the long-term continuation of the great prosperity and the well-being of the people."

The rumbling sound echoed in the sky above the Imperial Capital City.

Tian Peng, who was fighting with the Bone Girl who had evolved into the "Claviscum Bodhisattva Form", couldn't help but turn his attention to the Imperial City when he heard this.

"Shameless! Really shameless!" Chen Boxian cursed.

Half of the people in the city have now turned into human incense sticks, constantly burning themselves to worship the Bone Girl, who is part of Emperor Ming's plan.

In other words, if Emperor Ming's plan succeeded, half of the people in the city would be in danger of losing their lives.

As for the other half of the city, most of the people are dignitaries and cultivators. Chen Boxian doesn't know whether Emperor Ming dares to risk the wrath of the world and even sacrifice the dignitaries and cultivators.

But for the common people in the other half of the city who have not entered the realm of the rich and powerful and have not embarked on the path of spiritual practice, nine out of ten times they will not have a good outcome.

"I never thought that our respected king would be such a king!"

Taoist Qingshan was better educated than Chen Boxian and did not curse directly, but his tone was full of sarcasm and disdain that almost overflowed from his words.

"Such a tyrant, Yunshan's teacher is indeed right, the king is unrighteous, and the people will punish him!"

Tianpeng’s gaze was as deep as the abyss.

There was only one thought in his mind, that he should have acted decisively when he knew that Emperor Ming was behind the Bone Girl.

at the same time.

At this time, all the noble families, gangs and sects in the city were watching this incident closely.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Princess Jing asked fearfully as she looked at the real dragon circling in the sky.

When the incident in Imperial Capital City first happened, she originally thought that His Majesty was going to attack the Arctic Exorcism Institute.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
If something is out of your control, it is better to destroy it than to have it remain by your side and become an eyesore.

Never mind the merits of the Arctic Exorcism House. No matter how many merits there are or how great they are, if the emperor does not favor them, they cannot atone for their sins even if they die a thousand times.

But the direction of events became increasingly confusing to her.

Sacrificing the lives of the people in a city!
It’s still the Imperial Capital, the most populous city in the world!

No matter how crazy a person is, he would not have such an idea. But the person who dares to think about it and put it into practice is the "king and father" of the great world!
Prince Jing remained silent. The shock in his heart was no less than that of Princess Jing, perhaps even more.

Royal Brother
What are you going to do with your ancestors’ legacy?
If it succeeds, it will be fine. But if it fails, the entire dynasty will be doomed.

The foundation of their lives will also fall apart, and their now high-handed life of stepping on thousands of peasants below will also be overturned in one day!

My dear brother, how dare you? ! How dare you? !
Mingyue Tower.

At this time, the famous works left by the literati and poets in Mingyue Tower were shining brightly, and the words were floating and covering the entire building.

This is the only way to avoid the erosion of the surrounding green flames.

Among the many poems, the three left by Xu Qing that day are the most brilliant.

Xie Qingyi and her maid Su'e stood in the building and looked out at the palace.

She is a famous Confucian scholar in the imperial capital, but she also has another identity: she is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, one of the three highest officials in the world.

Mingyue Tower is able to stand tall in the Imperial Capital City and even set up a rule that the third-grade immortal wine can only be increased but not sold. This would be impossible with just strength but no background.

"Miss, why do the officials in the court allow His Majesty to do what he wants?" The maid Su'e frowned, her face full of worry.

She knew the young lady's identity, so the young lady should know some inside information.

"Most of the officials and nobles have agreed with your majesty's plan. The court is now united. Who can stop it?" Xie Qingyi sighed with a gloomy look in his eyes.

When the unexpected incident happened just now, she immediately contacted her father, the Grand Tutor, and got some information from him.

"What can the remaining people who disagree with the trend do? They can either be coerced or suppressed."

"Originally, there should still be people in the city who are trying their best to stop Your Majesty."

"What a pity. Those who are dead are dead now, those who are outside are outside, and there are only a few cats and cats left in the city. Even if we want to kill the thieves, we are powerless to save them."

The maid Su'e was shocked by the young lady's words and her face turned pale: "Young lady, be careful with your words!"

How can you call His Majesty a thief?

If anyone heard this, it would be a capital crime.

"There's nothing to be cautious about." Xie Qingyi shook her head. "Things have come to this point."

"Why would all the officials in the court agree to such an absurd thing?" The maid Su'e was puzzled.

Dasheng is a dynasty system of destiny. The officials of the court are tied to the national destiny. If the national destiny collapses one day, they will also be affected.

At the least, his cultivation would be wasted, at the worst, his body and soul would be destroyed. "Because if it succeeds, a 'Holy Emperor' will be born, a 'Holy Emperor' who meets the expectations of everyone in the court!"

"'Holy Emperor'?" The maid Su'e was confused.

"The so-called Saint Emperor," Xie Qingyi explained, "is one who puts state affairs first in everything he does, and plans for the country before planning for his family. He is clear about rewards and punishments, does not punish people for their words, and is not afraid of those who have made great achievements."

"In the Dynasty of Fortune, the biggest variable is actually the most respected and precious one."

"If the 'Saint Emperor' is born, there will no longer be any shortcomings in the Great Prosperity Dynasty system."

"As long as it is not caused by a powerful external force, the true Eternal Dynasty will appear on this earth."

"Su'e, what do you think the officials in the court will choose, especially when they have made a lot of preparations and have a great chance of success?"

"And the price is nothing more than the lives of the people in this city!"

"To trade the lives of the people of a city for countless years of peace in the future, this price sounds much smaller in comparison."

After hearing what Xie Qingyi said, the maid Su'e opened her mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it.

"This, this." She was so surprised and shocked that even Su'e, a fourth-rank warrior, couldn't speak clearly.

After a long while, Su'e finally calmed down:

"If what the young lady said is true, then this 'Holy Emperor' is just a puppet, isn't that right? Your Majesty is really willing to do this?"

"Of course not." Xie Qingyi shook her head. Without waiting for Su'e to ask, she continued, "So isn't this also borrowing the supreme Buddhist Dharma of the 'Three Bodies of Buddha'?"

"Three Bodies of Buddha?"

"Yeah." Xie Qingyi seemed to feel that what she knew was too heavy and couldn't help wanting to find someone to share it with.

So when Su'e asked, she told him everything: "Buddha has three bodies, namely Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Response Body, also called Self-nature Body, Enjoyment Body and Transformation Body."

"It can be seen as the Taoist concept of 'one qi becomes three pure beings', where one body becomes three persons, and the three persons are both independent individuals and a unified individual."

"The Three Bodies of Buddhism adopted by your majesty and all officials are different from the general Three Bodies of Buddhism. They are Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism!"

"Confucianism is the sage emperor, ruling the dynasty, the sage heart is the will of the people, Taoism is free and unrestrained in heaven and earth, Buddhism is the body to benefit the world."

"Is this possible?" The maid Su'e asked in surprise, "Using Buddhism to condense the Dharmakaya of Confucianism and Taoism, will this work?"

"Why not? Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have been around until today, and it's hard to say that they are clearly divided."

"You are in me, I am in you, the three religions are one family."

"A Confucian practitioner can become a Taoist practitioner, or a Buddhist practitioner, and the same is true for the other two sects."

"Buddhism can be said to be Taoism, or it can be said to be Confucianism. What's important is how the people who use it feel."

Having said that, Xie Qingyi let out a long sigh.

When she first learned about their plan from her father, the shock in her heart was like a raging wave.

This practice is unbelievable!
But there is indeed a possibility of success!
The "Confucian body" is shaped by Confucian knowledge and national destiny. Because the national destiny is formed, the national destiny is the lifeblood of the Confucian, and great prosperity is the foundation of his survival.

Every move of the "Confucian body" will affect the fate of the country, and the fate of the country will be the priority in everything.

As for the 'Tao body' and the 'Buddha body', they are actually unimportant, but they are the key to preventing Emperor Ming's original intention from becoming a machine that only handles state affairs.

For Emperor Ming, the Taoist body and the Buddhist body were more important to him.

And after it is accomplished, the problem of the Arctic Exorcism House that Emperor Ming used to deceive others will also be solved.

At that time, the Arctic Exorcism Institute will no longer be independent of the imperial court system and will be completely integrated into the imperial court.

after all.

The Arctic Exorcism Institute is loyal to Da Sheng, but the one sitting in that position now is a Holy Emperor who always puts the country first in everything. Is there any difference between being loyal to the country and being loyal to the emperor?

The maid Su'e was stunned after hearing this and blurted out: "Miss, is it really okay for the master to tell you all these things? Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret?"

"Their plan has already begun." Xie Qingyi didn't care: "Once it starts, it can't be stopped. It just depends on whether it succeeds or fails in the end."

Similar conversations to those at Prince Jing's Mansion and Mingyue Tower took place in the homes of various powerful people in the city tonight.

In the homes of the Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet, the homes of the six ministers, and the homes of court officials of all ranks.

The dean of Yunshan Academy did not expect Emperor Ming to be so shameless. When he heard such words, his eyes froze.

"absurd!"

"The longevity of the Great Prosperity was achieved by sacrificing the people of the city to help the Lord cultivate supreme magical powers?"

"This has never been heard of since ancient times!"

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that what you did today will chill the hearts of the people, causing the country's fortunes to decline and the dynasty to collapse?"

The bright yellow dragon in the sky slowly spoke:
"When I am here, the people's hearts are with me. The rise and fall of a dynasty all depends on the king. A dynasty prospers because of its wisdom and decline because of its stupidity."

"But if my plan today succeeds, this kind of thing will never happen again in the world. I can sit on the throne forever, and ensure the well-being of the people of Dasheng, and the stability of Dasheng's territory."

"Can you sacrifice the entire city's population for this?" asked the dean of Yunshan Academy in a deep voice.

"It's just sacrificing the people of a city, what's wrong with that?" The bright yellow dragon in the sky stared at the people of the imperial capital with its golden eyes and spoke again.

"Master Chen, if killing one person can save ten thousand people, should we kill him or not?"

"Killing a city of people can bring about a peace that will last forever, so should we kill them?"

"In every chaotic time, the number of people who died is more than the number of people in the city."

"Your Majesty, what if the dynasty collapses after the failure? What if the situation is not as you imagined?" Master Chen asked questions one after another.

He vaguely guessed what Emperor Ming was trying to do.

But is there really any perfect way to deal with this matter that is absolutely easy?

"Master Chen, you are obsessed. How can you plan things without knowing the price?" The bright yellow dragon in the sky rumbled.

Master Chen already knew that he couldn't persuade her anymore.

No matter what the reason, the people of this city should not be sacrificed.

"Since reason doesn't make sense, let's use our fists to see who stands last." Master Chen said in a deep voice.

"It should have been done earlier, teacher." The unruly man with sword intent all over his body threw away the wine jug, and with a wave of his hand, a three-foot green peak appeared.

The scholar who couldn't put down his book carefully put it away, raised his head and smiled at the bright yellow dragon in the sky: "Scholars can also kill people!"

The woman did not speak, but took a step forward, and the sound of reading in the void suddenly drowned out the thunder in the sky.

The Taoist of Baiyun Temple and the abbot of Bailong Temple each chanted "May all the blessings of heaven be born in heaven" and "Namo Amitabha".

The war is about to break out!
the other side.

In the Wuying Hall and Wenhua Hall on both sides of the Huangji Hall, many officials were busy arranging various ceremonial vessels.
