Chapter 772: Public Outcry

The Wushen Cult wanted to regain the power of sacrifice and asked the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to restore the position of the chief priest of the Wushen lineage.

This news spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, the Ming world, and even the Tianhuang Realm in a flash. When Zhu Houcong brought up this topic at the Ming Dynasty court meeting one day.

There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world, and this time Zhu Houcong deliberately did not hide it. He directly brought up this matter in the court, which means that there is no possibility of blocking the concealment.

Wow! The crowd was boiling in an instant.

Not to mention the Tianhuang Realm, how the various forces in the Ming Dynasty looked at it, just the internal Ming Dynasty, or the many officials in the court that day, the ministers, the ministers and military officials, and the princes of the royal family all had different reactions and their own attitudes.

But no matter what, this matter undoubtedly threw a huge stone into the originally calm court, and immediately set off a huge wave.

After countless years of development, the Confucian sect has grown to an unimaginable extent. Even after the promotion of the Divine Dynasty, these people were granted the title of God, but they still considered themselves to be Confucianists and respected the law.

As Zhu Houcong and Wu Shijiu expected, when this matter was proposed, countless officials opposed it, especially those civil officials who came from the imperial examination. They believed that this was the Wushen Sect eroding their own rights. They hysterically explained the pros and cons to Zhu Houcong, saying that this matter would harm the Ming Dynasty and that the Wushen Sect had wolfish ambitions. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that when they were first cultivated by the Wushen Sect, they strongly advocated the help and role of the Wushen Sect to the Ming Dynasty.

So-called, this is a different time, and when they found that their interests were infringed, they naturally changed their attitude and were no longer the same as before.

Unfortunately, the investment of the Wushen Sect in these years was not completely useless. In addition to those civil officials who came from the Confucian sect and considered themselves to be disciples of the Confucian sect, there were also many military merits in the court, and they did not have so many scruples.

For these people, they have their own cognition. They don't need to care about what the Confucian school thinks, nor do they care about the bullshit right to interpret the rites and laws. They just need to make themselves strong and then help the Ming Dynasty to become stronger to deal with more things.

So, since the existence of the Wushen Cult is beneficial to them and can help them become stronger, these people will naturally not refuse. Even in recent years, there have been many conflicts between the civil and military officials. Now that they see these people being defeated, they can also take this opportunity to repay the favor of the Wushen Cult, so these military honors are happy to do so.

For those royal princes, they also have similar ideas. You must know that as royal princes, they are usually attacked and accused by these civil officials. Now that they have the opportunity to repay, they will naturally not miss it.

So, the Confucian school, which should have been so powerful in the court, suddenly became a disadvantage for a while, which is simply unimaginable. Of course, the disadvantage for a while does not affect the overall situation at all. Although it cannot allow them to reject this matter on the spot, they also rely on enough power to temporarily put this matter aside from the court.

However, the fact that the matter was shelved in the court did not mean that it was really shelved. Instead, the matter continued to ferment and brew, causing a bigger and bigger storm.

You should know that the Confucian School is not only in the Great Ming Dynasty, but also has branches in some ancient countries in the Tianhuang Realm. Although the power of these branches is not strong, it undoubtedly gives many people an excuse and an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Great Ming Dynasty.

It is really a troubled time. Since the plan to merge the two realms began to be promoted, the most important and eye-catching thing in the world should be this plan. Countless cultivators should be paying close attention to every step of this matter.

However, over the years, major events in the world have appeared one after another, attracting the attention of countless cultivators from all parties, making the merger of the two realms seem less important.

"Old man, how should this matter be handled?" An official asked Wang Qiong in the residence of the Minister of War Wang Qiong.

As the Minister of War, Wang Qiong was promoted all the way from the imperial examination, and countless supporters behind him were also from the Confucian School.

For people like them who are in high positions and have great power, Confucianism cannot actually restrain them. Instead, the power of Confucianism is used by them. In many cases, with the right of Confucianism in hand, many of their behaviors and actions naturally have the justice of their own nature.

It can be said that the current request of the Wushen Cult, which wants the Wusi lineage to regain the position of the chief priest, is to seize power from them and weaken their power, which they cannot tolerate.

However, Wang Qiong, who is old and cunning, will naturally not make a decision easily, because his successful practice over the years has also received a lot of support from the Wushen Cult. For such a big man, such a direct confrontation will ruin his reputation, and the strength of the two sides is very different, so if it is not necessary, he will not choose to tear his face.

He looked at Gu Ji: "Seeing you are so confident, you must have already made up your mind!"

Gu Ji smiled: "We are afraid of the power of Wushen Cult because of the existence and threat of the strongest, but it does not mean that we really have no way to fight against it."

He looked around and said: "In my opinion, there is someone who can stand up and compete with Wushen Cult."

"Oh?"

"Who?"

"Wushen Cult has several strongest people, is there anyone in my Confucian sect who is also strong?"

"The situation in the Divine Dynasty is in chaos now. If another force is introduced, it will probably be even more troublesome."

"."

Everyone discussed it and expressed their own opinions and concerns.

Wang Qiong frowned slightly, motioned them to be quiet, and then narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you planning to let Wang Bo'an return to Tiandu?"

After Gu Ji's words, Wang Qiong naturally knew who the other party was talking about. After all, the real great sage in the Confucian school in recent years is Wang Bo'an. The other party's move at the Shenxiao Discussion Conference shocked the world. After all these years, I don't know how powerful he has become.

"Yes, Brother Wang's return to Tiandu at this time can not only help us fight against the Wushen Cult, but also give Brother Bo'an an opportunity to carry forward his heart learning." Gu Ji said seriously.

Wang Boan's philosophy of mind is unique, and coupled with his profound strength, he has many disciples over the years and has almost become one of the prominent schools of Confucianism. However, this situation is also secretly suppressed by some bigwigs within Confucianism. After all, no one is willing to give up their interests, which is why Wang Boan has to live outside the Great Wall for a long time and cannot return to Tiandu.
