Chapter 633 The Suffering of the World

Taiyi Mountain.

The two sects of Taoism, Heaven and Man have not gathered together for a long time, but it was because of a bold thief.

Qingxuan was kneeling on the ground, and in the distance was Xiao Meng who looked puzzled.

"Qingxuan, you sneaked into Tianzong's forbidden area with the intention of stealing the secret book. Is this possible?"

Xiaoyaozi stood in front of Qingxuan and asked.

"have!"

Qingxuan confessed. Seeing this, Xiaoyaozi sighed helplessly and turned his back.

"According to the sect's precepts, I will be expelled from the master's sect as a punishment."

Qingxuan clenched his hands, feeling a little unwilling, but in the end he still had no words.

In front of everyone, he took out a short knife and shaved off the black hair on his hair.

"Disciple, thank you Master for your teachings."

After saying that, Qingxuan stood up and walked into the distance step by step, his back was lonely but firm.

Until Qingxuan's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, Xiaoyaozi turned his head and glanced at the figure from the corner of the attic, with a sense of vigilance in his eyes.

"Let's break up!"

The two sects of Taoism fight without defeat. After all, the relationship between the Human Sect and the Tian Sect is different from the relationship between the Yin-Yang Sect and the Taoist Sect. They do not have independent sects, but act independently.

Xiaomeng was a little unwilling and walked out with the crowd, while Bei Mingzi walked up to the house in the center of the square and came to the corner.

"I have given Chunjun and Lingxu two swords to them. Next, it is time to do what you promised me."

"Is this the robbery you're talking about?"

Zhao Shuang looked at Xiaomeng who was following Qingxuan and asked.

"This calamity is not only related to Xiaomeng, but also related to Taoism, the entire school of thought, and even the world. Both Tianzong and Renzong belong to Taoism, but their actions are unrelated to each other. However, in these stormy days, no sect can A choice needs to be made, and Taoism is particularly special. I am afraid that if we are not careful, what happened in the past when the Yin and Yang family rebelled against Taoism will happen again."

Zhao Shuang understood what Bei Mingzi meant. In the past, the Tian Sect and the Human Sect only had different ideas, and they fought but never broke through. But now, as the empire dominates the world, the order in the world has been reshuffled.

In the past, the world was controlled by seven countries, but the influence of the order between them left many gaps. Above the rivers and lakes, thousands of flowers bloom. But now, the world is unified, and all the rivers and lakes forces have only two choices left.

Do not side with the anti-Qin forces of the Six Kingdoms, or stand against Qin.

Neither Taoist Tianzong nor Confucianism wanted to stand on the opposite side of Qin. At least, there is more room for the former option.

If Renzong chooses to rebel against Qin, then Tianzong will not be able to survive alone, and Taoism will eventually be forced into danger.

"For Tianzong, it is difficult to predict the future situation. But Xiaomeng is what I am most worried about."

"So, you want me to take her to practice?"

Bei Mingzi touched his beard and sighed.

"How can one forget the common people without suffering in this world?"

While Zhao Shuang was stunned, Bei Mingzi handed the Xue Ji in his hand to Zhao Shuang.

"This is the Taoist master's token, and I will give it to you for the time being. With it, Xiaomeng will obey you."

Does this old guy not care about anything? Looking at Bei Mingzi's retreating figure, Zhao Shuang couldn't help but cursed.

Xianyang Palace.

The imperial dispute between the county system and the feudal system has come to an end. The emperor of the empire made a decision and planned to support the county system.

In the palace, Li Si was independent. He knew very well what the emperor's decision meant?

That means that since then, Legalism has firmly established its position in the empire. And he will not stop at being the Tingwei he is today.

"Your Majesty, Luo Wang's campaign to eradicate rebellion in Shandong has come to an end. Zhao Gao requests to return to Xianyang."

Luo Wang is a killer organization that belongs to the Qin State, but it does not have a formal establishment. It is an outsourcing organization under Ting Wei's command to apprehend criminals.

The emperor stood above him, and while he was dealing with government affairs, he stopped the brush in his hand and continued writing.

Seeing that the emperor had no objection, Li Si continued.

"Nowadays, detailed statistics on household registration, taxes, fields, etc. in all counties and counties across the country have been made one by one. I already have preliminary figures here..."

Just as Li Si was recounting numbers one by one with great accuracy, Emperor Zun raised his head, looked at Li Si, and asked a question.

"Li Si, what do you think is the empire's biggest worry today?"

Li Sibon was reporting the accounts and was suddenly startled when he heard this question.

"The remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Shandong."

This is a standard answer, almost politically correct. Anyway, within the empire, the most discussed thing now is these remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and how to prevent these remnants of the Six Kingdoms?

Anyway, no matter what problems the empire has, they can ultimately be blamed on the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

"The remnants of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong?"

Emperor Zun smiled softly, not showing too much impatience at this completely unqualified answer, and then asked.

"What about inside?"

Li Si was stunned and felt a chill in his heart. In fact, he knew very well that if the emperor chose the system of counties and counties, a large number of royal family members and noble officials in the empire would not benefit.

Those who have made military exploits are just fine. Those who have not made military exploits will not be able to gain anything in the future. But these people cannot be ignored.

Will they be willing to become rich men?

"The empire implements great policies. As long as the years pass and people in the country are convinced, there will be no major dangers."

Although Li Si was the leader of the Legalists, he did not dare to express too many opinions on this issue. The water is too deep here.

Emperor Zun did not let go of Li Si's cunning.

"The world is settled but not governed. If I want to make great achievements and establish the foundation of the eternal world, I will waste the power of the people and make everyone in the sea resentful. Abandoning the enfeoffment and moving to prefectures and counties is not because I don't know the benefits of enfeoffment, but because of the strength of the world, I have to do it. Years As time goes by, people's hearts are convinced. But what will happen in the near future?"

"this……"

Li Si was stunned when faced with such a pointed question.

"Where will the empire's troubles lie in the near future?"

"Chen...chen..."

"To speak without knowing is unwise; to know without speaking is disloyal. Li Si, are you going to be that disloyal minister?"

Li Si immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

"I believe that in the near future, the empire will be in trouble because of Lord Hanyang."

"oh?"

Emperor Zun smiled slightly and leaned back.

"Tell me!"

"Han Yangjun is the head of the family, and he is inextricably related to all the courtiers in the current court. With his outstanding military achievements, the military families of the empire such as Wang, Meng, and Li also have an irreversible relationship with him. Beyond Longxi, beyond the Great Wall In the land, I don’t see the king’s orders, but I hear the king’s orders. On the rivers and lakes, there are tens of thousands of Mohist disciples, and they are huge. If Lord Hanyang has any rebellious intentions, he has to worry about it.”

"What if he doesn't have any objections?"

"The king treats others without harming them. The former Lord Wu An never thought of rebelling."

This was the most important sentence Li Si said today, but surprisingly, the emperor did not show any unnecessary expression.

"Go down!"

Li Si retreated.

Emperor Zun looked at the memorandum on the imperial case, which recorded in detail the steps on how to organize Zhao Shuang's fiefdom into counties, as well as his experience in handling border matters.

The key is that this was played by Zhao Shuang.

A tiny body, but an inch of power. The world is at peace, and I dare not stay in my old feudal home, but I am greedy and cling to my old shadow. It is enough to wish to be a prince and enjoy the rent and food in peace.

Emperor Zun looked at the last sentence in the memorial, picked up the brush, and wrote two large characters just like the previous time Zhao Shuang wanted to return to his fiefdom.

No!
