I Turned My Daily Skills Into Divine Ability

Chapter 205 What the People Want

In the imperial study, Emperor Yanshun sat on the dragon couch with a sullen face, listening to his subordinates report on the latest situation of Confucianism and Taoism.

"Currently, Du Shaoling is preaching at Zhulu Academy. All officials in Huzhou have become Confucian and Taoist lay practitioners and follow Du Shaoling to practice Confucianism and Taoism."

"The news our religion spread before did not have any effect. Instead, it angered those literati and scholars, and they spontaneously spread Confucianism and Taoism everywhere."

"Recently, there is inaccurate news that the number of business travelers from Baiyue, Daqian, Beiyan and other countries entering our dynasty has obviously increased several times, and many business travelers have gone to Qingzhou City, probably also for Confucianism and Taoism. "

Listening to the report from his subordinates, Emperor Yanshun's face was as dark as water and he was helpless.

He knew very well that the current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Not to mention local officials, many officials in the capital have also begun to practice Confucianism and Taoism.

The temptation of Confucianism and Taoism practice is too great for those scholars.

If Confucianism and Taoism are allowed to develop like this, everything that they, Celestial Human Sect, have worked so hard for so many years will be lost.

The minions they trained may all become Wei Yi's minions.

Don't say whether your Celestial Human Sect can still be based on the Great Yan Dynasty.

I'm afraid that my throne may be in jeopardy.

Although the elder Taishang said that he was about to master his magical skills and might be able to turn the tide.

But if I don't do something now, I'm afraid it will also shake the military spirit and morale of their Celestial Human Sect party.

When the time comes, it remains to be seen whether they can deal with Wei Yi and Confucianism.

"Come here, prepare a decree!" Emperor Yanshun shouted sternly.

He must take action, otherwise this Great Yan Dynasty will no longer belong to them Celestial Human Sect.

Emperor Yanshun quickly issued an edict to classify Confucianism and Taoism as a cult, prohibiting everyone from practicing, talking about, and spreading Confucianism and Taoism, otherwise he would be severely punished.

At the same time, the state capitals where major academies were located were ordered to immediately inventory all books and burn all books on Confucianism and Taoism, as well as all poems and articles by Wei Yi.

At the same time, the academy was ordered to make rectifications and not teach anything about Confucianism, Taoism, or poetry and articles written by Wei Yi in any form.

After this imperial edict was issued, it immediately exploded in the capital and caused an uproar.

There were even more complaints in the Imperial College.

"What is your Majesty doing?"

"Yes, why should Confucianism and Taoism be classified as a cult? Is it really necessary to push us literati to a dead end?"

"Hmph, it must be the Celestial Human Sect who is behind this. They are afraid that we intellectuals will gain extraordinary power and threaten their power."

"It seems they are really afraid of Confucianism and Taoism!"

"I thought I saw hope again, but now it's... Alas, what's the future of Great Yan Dynasty?"

"Yes, I thought that scholars like me would finally have a chance to make a comeback, but I didn't expect that an imperial edict would kill them all!"

"What I'm worried about is that if your Majesty does this, it might cause turmoil!"

"Well, Confucianism and Taoism can develop so rapidly. This is what the people want, but Your Majesty goes against the trend. There may be disaster!"

"Then Wei Yi will definitely not sit still and wait for death. By doing this, Your Majesty is clearly declaring war on the other side and sending a hero who originally protected the safety of our Great Yan Dynasty to the opposite side as an enemy. Your Majesty's approach is really unwise. .”

"Yes, this Confucianism and Taoism practice is expected to become the foundation of the country and the hope of strengthening and rejuvenating the country. If our government bans Confucianism and Taoism, it will be equivalent to handing over Confucianism and Taoism to neighboring countries. If Confucianism and Taoism are established in Daqian, Beiyan, and Bai As other countries develop and grow, one will ebb and flow, and sooner or later our Great Yan Dynasty will be at the mercy of others."

"If we continue like this, we won't have to wait for our neighboring countries to start trouble, and we will have civil strife ourselves first!"

It was difficult for everyone to calm down their inner dissatisfaction and anger.

If he wasn't still in awe and rationality, he would have really cursed.

But although he barely restrained his words, in his heart he had scolded Emperor Yanshun and Celestial Human Sect bloody.

He even wished that Wei Yi would lead the Confucian and Taoist experts to directly destroy the Celestial Human Sect and kill this stupid and incompetent puppet emperor.

After all, they know very well that if the Celestial Human Sect continues to cause such trouble, the Great Yan Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later.

These scholars are loyal to the court, the country, the nation and the culture left by their ancestors.

Not the foolish and unruly monarch, nor the Celestial Human Sect.

Soon, many important ministers in the court also attacked and remonstrated, and more ministers knelt directly outside the hall, praying together for Emperor Yanshun to take back his life.

Although most of these ministers are from the Celestial Human Sect party.

But they are not real Celestial Human Sect monks, nor are they a bunch of idlers.

It's just that in partisan disputes, they side with the Celestial Human Sect for their own interests, and they are just a community of interests.

But now the imperial edict issued by Emperor Yanshun seriously violated their interests, and they naturally couldn't sit still.

First of all, by banning Confucianism and Taoism, then they, the scholars, would have no hope of practicing Confucianism and Taoism.

After all, this is also their opportunity to gain the power of Transcendent, and they naturally desire to practice Confucianism.

Secondly, they also felt that Emperor Yanshun's decree was very inappropriate.

If it is really implemented, I am afraid it will cause unrest.

After all, Confucianism and Taoism are now gaining momentum and are already the aspiration of the people.

Wei Yi is a hero in the hearts of countless people, coupled with Du Shaoling's prestige in the hearts of scholars.

From any point of view, this cannot be a cult, and it is completely beneficial and harmless to the country.

As an emperor, it's fine if he doesn't support him. If he wants to suppress him and call him a cult, isn't that just confusing right and wrong and destroying the last hope of those scholars?

The literati of the Great Yan Dynasty have been miserable in this dark world and cannot see hope.

Now that they have finally grasped a life-saving straw, suddenly taking away their life-saving straw at this time will definitely ignite the anger in their hearts instantly.

In the past, they were scattered troops and could not pose a threat, nor could they cause much trouble.

But now Confucianism and Taoism have become the force that brings them together and their common will.

At this time, their cohesion is very terrifying, and they have the backing of a strong person like Wei Yi.

As long as Wei Yi is willing, he can immediately start a revolution. It is still unclear whether they can cope with it by then.

Originally, Wei Yi might not have had any reason to launch a revolution.

But this imperial edict from Emperor Yanshun will become the best reason.

"Your Majesty, although the Celestial Human Sect is the state religion of our dynasty, the practice of Confucianism and Taoism can also become the foundation of our dynasty and is the aspiration of the people. You cannot lose sight of one thing and lose the other. You only consider the interests of the Celestial Human Sect and ignore the country and the country!"

"Your Majesty, if you completely ban Confucianism and Taoism, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil!"

"Your Majesty, this Wei Yi is not an enemy. We may be able to cooperate with Wei Yi to jointly manage and develop the Confucian and Taoist Academy."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. You cannot let Confucianism and Taoism become our enemies!"

"Okay, shut up!" Emperor Yanshun shouted angrily, and a wave of coercion spread out, scaring several ministers to the point where they fell to their knees in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to do it. I have already made up my mind. Don't say anything else. Go down!" Emperor Yanshun shouted coldly.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Go down!" Emperor Yanshun scolded him again. Several ministers looked helpless and did not dare to say anything more.

…

The next day, in Qingzhou City.

Although the Lantern Festival has passed, the city today is still enveloped in an atmosphere of joy and excitement.

Because today is Wei Yi's wedding day, this is a gratifying and congratulatory event for the people in the city.

In Wei Yi's new residence, red lanterns hang high all over the courtyard, and festive red flowers and ribbons decorate every corner.

The sound of drums and gongs came and went, and the sound of festive firecrackers exploded in the air, seeming to bring a joyful atmosphere to the entire city.

The door of the house is hung with festive paper-cuts, various auspicious patterns and blessing words, highlighting the happiness and good fortune of the newlyweds.

The city's dignitaries, merchants, and celebrities all came to send gifts and congratulations.

Du Shaoling also returned to Qingzhou City with Tang Yin early in the morning.

The old prince Zhao Yinxiong also brought several young masters from the palace to the Wei family. The scene was full of people and lively.

Although Shan Ruoshui, King Jin and others were not present in person, they sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

Not long after, the sound of cranes suddenly sounded in the sky, and a crane was seen flying from the sky.

Then he landed in front of the mansion.

Sitting on the back of the crane is a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous palace clothes.

The middle-aged man stepped down from the crane and said loudly: "I am the envoy of the Baiyue Kingdom. Your Majesty, I am here to deliver a congratulatory gift to Mr. Wei!"

The envoy held a beautiful wooden box and handed it to Wei Yi.

Immediately, holding a beautiful letter of congratulation, they began to read loudly the congratulatory message written by their Majesty.

However, before he finished speaking, two more people came with flying swords.

But he was an envoy sent by the Great Qian Dynasty.

They also came to send congratulatory gifts.

And like the envoy of Baiyue Kingdom, he also read a congratulatory message written by Emperor Great Qian Dynasty in public.

The arrival of envoys from various countries was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

But although everyone was surprised, they could also understand how terrifying Wei Yi's influence was now.

Presumably the emperors of various countries wanted to curry favor with Wei Yi, hoping that he could spread Confucianism and Taoism to their countries.

Seeing this scene, the most surprised people were naturally Wei Tieshan and Wei Xue. They were also extremely proud.

The grand occasion of today's wedding has exceeded their expectations. Unexpectedly, the emperors of neighboring countries sent envoys to congratulate them.

What an honor this is, I am afraid that even the wedding of Emperor Great Yan Dynasty may not have so many envoys.

Soon after, the auspicious time arrived and the wedding officially began.

During the whole process, Meng Shuilian felt that he was in a state of confusion, as if it were a dream and unreal.

She never thought that she would have such a grand and unprecedented wedding.

I even felt a little guilty, a little ashamed of myself, and always felt that I was not worthy of such a wedding.

But feeling Wei Yi's firm hands and careful care, Meng Shuilian felt much more at ease.

In the evening, the guests left one after another. Wei Yi saw off all the guests and returned to his new house in a happy mood.

Pushing open the door, the sight in front of him made him hold his breath.

Meng Shuilian wore a gorgeous dress and exquisite headdress, which made her already elegant and refined appearance even more moving and charming.

Her face was as beautiful as before, her brows were as picturesque as ever, and she exuded a gentle light.

Her skin is fair and supple, her facial features are delicate and delicate, and every detail exudes incomparable beauty.

The slender waist is not tight, but the curvature of the chest makes the dress bulge.

When the two people's eyes met, Meng Shuilian's cheeks turned red with embarrassment, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a happy smile.

Wei Yi also smiled happily, walked straight to Meng Shuilian, and then the princess hugged Meng Shuilian up.

Meng Shuilian screamed in surprise, but his body seemed to melt, just limp in Wei Yi's arms.

His eyes were like water, watching Wei Yi quietly, but his heart was beating fast.

"Shui Lian, from today on, you are my Wei Yi's wife!"

"Yeah!" Meng Shuilian smiled and nodded, "I'm really not dreaming. Today it really feels like a dream. It's so unreal!"

Hearing Meng Shuilian's words, Wei Yi took a bite directly on Meng Shuilian's cheek.

"How is it, is it true?" Wei Yi asked with a smile.

"Well, it hurts a little!" Meng Shuilian nodded with a smile, then put his arms around Wei Yi's neck and said, "Ms. sir, today's wedding is so shocking. I'm really panicking. I’m afraid that others will think I’m not good enough for you!”

"Who dares? You are my wife. What's more, no one is more worthy of me than you and of today's wedding!" Wei Yi said with a look of approval.

His words made Meng Shuilian extremely moved and extremely happy.

My heart was about to melt, and I couldn't help but bury my head in Wei Yi's arms: "It's great to marry you. I must have saved the world in my previous life!"

"No, it's enough for you to save me!" Wei Yi hugged Meng Shuilian tighter, then sat on the edge of the bed with her in his arms.

Wei Yi chatted a lot with Meng Shuilian, and even told her about dual cultivation.

As the night gets darker, Wei Yi's new residence becomes quiet, and the sound of humming vaguely echoes in the night wind.

After Wei Yi's wedding, Du Shaoling and Tang Yin also left Qingzhou City one after another.

Du Shaoling drove the giant eagle and sent Tang Yin back to Hengzhou City first.

This giant eagle was drawn by Du Shaoling, and Wei Yi had also taught Du Shaoling the Divine Ability that "jumped on paper" to facilitate his travels.

In Huzhou City, the prefect Chang Qing couldn't help but look gloomy when he saw the imperial edict issued by Emperor Yanshun.

He also did not expect that Emperor Yanshun would order a ban on Confucianism and Taoism practice, and would purge Confucianism and Taoism practitioners.

Since he started to practice the energy of pen and ink, he seemed to have opened up a whole new world, and he was full of hope every day. Watching the energy of pen and ink gathering into saplings, and slowly growing into towering trees, he felt unprecedented fulfillment and joy in his heart.

Especially after seeing Du Shaoling demonstrate Confucianism and Taoism's Divine Ability that day, his heart was racing and he was fascinated.

If you desire to practice and enter the realm of scholar, you can use Confucianism and Taoism Divine Ability, and truly have extraordinary power.

But now, as soon as this decree comes out, their path of cultivation will be ruined.

"Damn it, Celestial Human Sect bastards!" Chang Qing cursed inwardly.

He knew very well that this incident must have been instigated by the Celestial Human Sect, fearing that the Confucian and Taoist forces would be too powerful and shake their status.

"Sir, what should we do? Do we really want to..." An assistant officer looked embarrassed.

"Hmph, it's just a matter of time and again, it can only be postponed for a day. Look, it won't be long before this matter is settled. Unless the monks of the Celestial Human Sect come forward in person, who can compete with Confucianism and Taoism?" Chang Qing said coldly.

He felt that with the current momentum of Confucianism and Taoism, no one could stop it. If they intervened forcefully, the final result would be the outbreak of civil strife.
