Chapter 1347 The Fight Between the Young Emperor and the Minister of State
The Five Emperors of the Human Race, five Dao Lord-level beings, such a powerful force, but in the eyes of Xuantian Dao Lord, they are just chess pieces.
There is also a huge gap between Dao Lords. These old Dao Lords are extremely talented and have huge resources. The accumulation of these ten thousand years is definitely not something that others can imagine.
You should know that if the number of Dao Lords is really considered, the number of those newly promoted Dao Lords is more than several times that of them, but they can only lie dormant. In addition to the fact that many newly promoted Dao Lords cannot unite, it is also because there is a huge gap in strength between them.
Xuantian Dao Lord does not take ordinary newly promoted Dao Lords seriously, let alone those five emperors?
For Xuantian Dao Lord, his real opponents are only a few people, such as Changsheng Dao Lord, Jiandi, Zutianshi and other old Dao Lords, and the rest are not worth worrying about at all.
Over the years, in order to restore the status of Xuantian Sect, Xuantian Daojun has made countless preparations, but he has never acted rashly, and he does not want to overturn the table unless it is necessary, because he is afraid of these Daojuns.
He has accumulated many trump cards over the years, but which of those people is not a hero, how could they not have trump cards?
"In this case, if the Jade Emperor and his people go too far, they may really be overthrown?" Xuan Lingzi found some clues from his master's plan.
Looking at his master's actions, he has the idea of using the Five Emperors to make a deal with the Taoist sect, and he is inclined to this choice, that is, he is not optimistic about the Jade Emperor and his people.
"The Jade Emperor and Ziwei have really stood up now, they are equivalent to showing their cards with us. Now it is not the new Daojuns who are confronting us, but them." Xuantian Daojun said calmly.
Perhaps at the beginning, the Jade Emperor regarded these old Taoist Lords as opponents, but these old Taoist Lords did not think that the Jade Emperor would be their opponent.
The pattern of gods in the Heavenly Court is not manipulated at will, but a ring of mutual restraint. If it were not for the new Taoist Lords who echoed outside, even if the Jade Emperor used interests to induce the Emperor Ziwei to turn against him, and even the other Emperor Qinghua and Emperor Gou Chen to turn against him, the pattern in the Heavenly Court could still be checked and balanced.
In that case, these old Taoist Lords actually did not need to stand up directly. They only needed to support other gods in the Heavenly Court, such as the gods of Huode Xingjun, to seize power, and they could stabilize the situation in the Heavenly Court again.
In the final analysis, the Heavenly Court is a complete group. When this group appeared, these Taoist Lords were the makers of the rules themselves. They were outside the rules, while the Jade Emperor and other imperial masters were inside the Heavenly Court. As long as the rules were not changed, no matter how they struggled, they would be bound by the rules and could not exert their true power.
But for the Jade Emperor and other royal masters, while they are trapped by the rules, their own power source itself is part of the rules. If they want to break the rules, they will destroy their foundation, and they cannot use all their power to break them, which makes them in a dilemma.
On the contrary, those newly promoted Taoists are outside the rules. They don’t have too many bases. For them, whether it is the rules inside the heaven or the rules of the entire Shenzhou world, they are not in it, and they are not beneficiaries, so they want to break the rules.
But it is not so easy to break the rules from the outside, because the vested interests inside the rules will also prevent all this and prevent their own interests from being lost.
It seems that both have similar pursuits, but their foundations and means are different. In a way, their power will offset each other.
When they unite with the Jade Emperor and other royal masters, under the condition of internal and external cooperation, both sides only need to sacrifice part of their interests and reach a compromise to truly break the rules.
At this time, even if their plan did not succeed completely, it perfectly dragged down many Daojuns who were originally outside the rules of the Heavenly Court and within the rules of Shenzhou, breaking the balance and creating an opportunity.
Now the Jade Emperor and the Purple Emperor stood up blatantly. They wanted to plunder power, which was to constantly break the rules that bound themselves. However, while these rules bound them, they also protected their own interests. Even if some Daojuns were dissatisfied with them, they could not replace them.
When waiting for the real rules to be broken and all the constraints to be touched, for these old Daojuns, their constraints were also untied, and they had a legitimate reason to change the structure of the Heavenly Court and regain the power of the Heavenly Court.
At that time, it was the battlefield where the two sides really wrestled, and no one could compromise.
"Does it mean that this rule is not only binding the Jade Emperor, but also binding many Daojuns?" Xuan Lingzi asked thoughtfully, frowning.
He had never thought that it would be this point. So while the Jade Emperor's power was constantly expanding, it was also eroding its own foundation.
"This is an unsolvable problem, or a problem of choice." Xuantian Daojun said coldly: "This is not only a change of power, but also a revolution. Power will not appear out of thin air, nor will it disappear out of thin air, it will just transfer from one party to another. When you choose something, you will also lose something."
What the Jade Emperor and Ziwei Emperor are doing now, from a certain level, is actually a change in heaven. The power they captured was once the power to protect them, but it was in the hands of different people.
"This reminds me of the change of throne in the human world. The late emperor appointed Minister Gu Ming to assist the young emperor in controlling the court. While these Minister Gu Ming controlled the emperor's power, they also maintained the stability of the court and prevented others from letting others. Attack the young emperor. But the young emperor wants to seize power from Minister Gu Ming, which means he has to face all attacks." Xuan Lingzi gave an example.
Daojun Xuantian smiled appreciatively and said: "Yes, we Daojuns are ministers who care about life to a certain extent. The emperor rules from the top. We hold the authority, but we also block all storms. We are also the authority of the emperor." The stabilizer suppresses all ambitious beings. Now that the emperor wants to take back his authority, he will have to face those ambitious people."
"I'm afraid not only those ambitious people, but also some of the ministers who care about life will react, right?" Xuan Lingzi said with a smile.
"Yes, there are several types of ministers who care about life. Some people just want to stabilize the situation, while some people think that the emperor is not capable enough and want to replace the emperor. However, none of these ministers who care about life have the ability to convince everyone. , or it can be said that capable people have suppressed the ambitions of others, so we have the current stability," Daojun Xuantian said pointedly.
Xuan Lingzi also understood what he meant. These veteran Taoist monarchs were ministers who cared about their lives. Some people thought that the current situation was very good and it was inconvenient to cause trouble. Some people are more aggressive and want more.
But the most critical point is that the most powerful minister who cares about life, the Taoist Lord Changsheng, believes that stability is the best choice, and others can only acquiesce even if they are dissatisfied.
But the actions of the Jade Emperor and Zi Wei were like the Young Emperor taking the initiative to give Minister Gu Ming a new reason. In this way, the most powerful Minister Gu Ming could not go against everyone's will and could only choose to go with the flow.
What's more, the other Minister Gu Ming also came up with new plans, taking care of the interests of the strongest man, making him irrefutable, just like using these Five Laojun as a replacement.
"Wu Laojun, you are really lucky." Xuan Lingzi said quietly, with a complicated tone. Now he understood the position of Wu Laojun, and also clearly knew what role the other party played, and why he was Value, in the final analysis, is an important weight in exchange for Taoist Changsheng's compromise. His tone was full of regret. You must know that he once had the opportunity to obtain the honorary position of one of the Five Laojun.
"Do you blame Master for asking you to give up your position as the Five Lao Lord?" Daojun Xuantian seemed to see his disciple's regret and asked with a smile.
"Disciple doesn't dare!" Xuan Lingzi shook his head and said.
"I dare not, not that I won't. It proves that there is still dissatisfaction in my heart." Daojun Xuantian said bluntly.
Xuan Lingzi remained silent, which was also expressing an attitude.
He is still one step away from the Tao Lord, but this step is also extremely difficult. If he had sat in the position of the Five Lao Lord, he would most likely be able to use this to prove himself to the Dao Lord this time.
It was just one step away, and the opportunity to prove Daojun was missed like this. How could he not feel regretful in his heart.
It's just that the person who asked him to give up in the first place was his master, so he couldn't say anything else.
"The position of Wu Laojun is indeed attractive. It can be regarded as a ticket to Daojun. But not everyone can sit in this position casually, at least not you!"
"Why?"
"Because Daojun doesn't allow it!"
"ah!"
"Not just you, any strong person with a big background and coming from a top immortal sect is not qualified to sit in that position." Daojun Xuantian said coldly, spitting out a truth that only Daojuns knew.
Xuan Lingzi frowned in confusion at first, and then recalled the current identity and origin of Wu Laojun, and seemed to understand a little bit.
"The throne of the Five Lao Lords does require special people to be in charge, but there are countless powerful people from all sides. Isn't it easy to select five suitable people? Even if they are not strong enough, as long as they are willing to pay the price, training these people is not enough. It's easy. But in the end, why did we only choose five casual cultivators who had little connection with all parties?" Taojun Xuantian asked.
Wu Laojun's divine position is nothing, even if it is special, it is extremely simple based on the huge monk base. Even if the resources are spread equally among each family, it is not much, and even one party can easily take it out.
But some things are not calculated like this. If it is a pure Five Laojun divine position, even the top divine position is not worthy of such calculation.
However, the position of the Five Lao Lords is a backup for the Emperor of Heaven, and they are the beings who may take charge of the Heavenly Court in the future, so all parties cannot let go easily.
Moreover, the position of the Heavenly Emperor could not come from any force again, so a compromise was reached. In addition, this was the idea within the Taoist sect. The Taoist sect contributed the most, so naturally only the casual cultivators from the Taoist sect were eligible to be selected.
Even if Xuan Lingzi is qualified, the identity of Xuantian Sect behind him means that he is destined to never be able to ascend to that position.
"But the current emperors, except for the Jade Emperor, all come from the top forces of all parties. They can't even reach that position without the support of the top forces." Xuan Lingzi said.
"That's why the tail is so big that it can't be removed. If we hadn't missed our old relationship, we would have replaced it long ago." Daojun Xuantian said with a meaningful tone.
After these words came out, Xuan Lingzi felt a chill in his heart, and understood what his master meant.
The ideas of these Dao Lords were really cruel, and they had already made such a plan.
If the Emperor of Heaven was really to be replaced in the future, it would mean that the emotional card was useless, and everything was based on interests.
In this case, there was no need to talk about emotions, and the decision was made purely based on interests. The five old Lords were supported for their interests, but once their interests were blocked, they would decisively overthrow and replace them.
This was really like the dynasty in the world, where the ministers of state controlled everything, and the emperor was just a puppet. It was fine to be a puppet well, but if he really had any ideas, he would be replaced immediately.
Xuan Lingzi also understood why his master compromised, because this was the will of all Dao Lords, and no party could stop it. Instead, it would be considered ambitious and with ulterior motives by all parties.
"Then the Purple Star Emperor was also the beloved disciple of the Taoist Tianji. The Gou Chen Emperor and the Qing Hua Emperor were all the prides of their own sects. But they either stood up to fight directly or wavered." Xuan Tian Daojun said leisurely, but it made Xuan Lingzi shudder: "If you sit in that position, what will happen in the future? Do you really want us to fight each other!"
This is a heart-piercing statement, even the previous sentences cannot match this one.
And what he said is not wrong at all. The Purple Star Emperor, the Gou Chen Emperor, the Qing Hua Emperor, and even the Jade Emperor, they were able to sit in this position with the support of these Daojuns.
But when they really sat in this position, their butts decided their heads, or they had different intentions, or it was due to interests. The fact is that they began to affect the interests of the Daojun.
From their standpoint, there may be thousands of reasons, but from the standpoint of the Daojun, this is absolutely wrong, and they naturally cannot tolerate it.
And Xuan Lingzi is loyal now, but can he guarantee that he will sit in that position for thousands of years without wavering, and put the interests of Xuantian Sect first? (End of this chapter)
