Mystery Makes Me Strong

Chapter 2342 The Emperor and the Saint

Can a closed world get better?

Wen Rensheng wanted to continue reading.

Eight years have passed.

The new Daqian Zhengsheng Emperor, who had been emperor for eight years, worked hard, achieved outstanding results, increased taxes, reduced some redundant officials, added some capable officials, reduced useless uniforms, and defeated several more foreign enemy.

It can be said that there is no bad place at all.

The only problem is that the ten-year period is coming soon, but the emperor has no intention of giving up the throne.

To know his emperor, he still took it from the previous emperor.

The previous emperor was old and faced a lot of pressure.

After his three grandsons fell into the water, became seriously ill, and suffered nightmares, he chose to give up his throne.

The promise he got was that he could become a god after his death.

Generally, after the emperor dies, there will be a temple to offer incense.

But it won't take long

Instead, he secretly sent people to destroy the Confucian Temple!

And spreading black information about the saint everywhere!

"Shocked. When the saint was young, he once picked up ashes. He was suspected of having an affair with his daughter-in-law..."

"A secret that must be told. When the saint was young, the room was full of fragrance. It was all a lie. The truth is actually..."

"It's incredible. If you want to become a saint, you only need 8 steps. Have your parents done it?"

After Wen Rensheng saw this, he deeply suspected that the emperor was a time traveler from the earth.

Then he looked up and used the mysterious seed.

What shocked him a little was that his suspicion was indeed correct.

That emperor was indeed a time traveler.

But not Earth.

Also from Wonderful City.

Why is he so sure?

Because that guy's soul is the soul of the previous founding god.

Thinking of how that guy worked hard to deceive others for ten million, Wen Rensheng had to say that this guy was enlightened.

It has evolved now.

I don't care about face at all.

Now the other party must complete the task of becoming an emperor before he can go back and be his founding god.

He also asked for this.

It's not right for a good founder to go to the city to cause trouble for himself.

As a result, he was beaten by himself.

Now I have to do another mission before I can go back.

How pitiful.

Who can blame this?

He only has himself to blame.

…………

At this moment.

Within the palace.

Everyone is discussing.

"How is the effect?" the emperor asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, many people have begun to write articles criticizing the saint."

"Okay, very good!" the emperor messaged.

"Some people also started to write letters to move the saints out of the Confucian Temple and let the emperor sit in them."

"Well, what can I do to do such a thing? No, no." The emperor waved his hand quickly.

"No, no, the emperor has civilized martial arts and is a true saint, so he can naturally sit down." The minister said quickly.

"Okay, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I, no, I have no choice but to sit like this." The emperor said happily.

Everyone was slandered in their hearts.

Our emperor really has no self-awareness.

However, the emperor still has two years left in his term.

Forget it first.

After all, the emperor did really well before.

After ten years of coaxing, let’s see what the saint is going to do.

Anyway, they know how powerful the saint is.

At least it can affect most of the Jinshi families.

Because saints can largely determine the distribution of incense in the underground world.

Because the incense has to pass through the hands of the saints, pass through one level, and then be distributed to the lairs of Jinshi in the underground world.

This is also the greatest authority of a saint.

This is also the reason why many scholars don’t care about saints and dare to ignore their evil deeds:

They are not qualified to become gods, they just want to live comfortably in this world.

All in all, Saint is still very powerful.

However, the saint obviously greatly violated the emperor's interests.

The emperor wanted to sit down forever, but the saint said he could only sit for ten years.

Moreover, with the endorsement of saints, if the emperor continues to do so, he will be overthrown by people.

As long as the emperor breaks the agreement, the rebels will naturally gain justice.

The resources of each Confucian temple: people, food, information, and camps will be provided to the rebels.

And this can also make everyone understand that if the emperor does not listen to the saint, he will be killed.

As for whether there will be rebels, that's for sure.

When there are no saints, there are always rebels, let alone when there are saints behind the scenes.

That must be a gathering of rebels.

Soon there was a scholarly uproar everywhere.

However, under the pressure of the Forbidden Army, people shut up one after another.

In short, no one mentions the people who abdicated the throne in the emperor's ten years.

No one mentions the saint anymore.

Confucian temples everywhere were transformed into ancestor temples and emperor temples one by one.

What is enshrined is the ancestors and the emperor, not the saints.

The ten-year period is slowly approaching.

People are watching.

Why hasn’t the saint taken action yet?

Finally it’s time for the ninth year.

The Cui family, a wealthy family in Jiangnan, began to rebel!

It's true rebellion.

A direct descendant of the Cui family, serving as a coastal defense officer.

Then he led 300 ships and 50,000 sergeants to rebel.

Go straight north along the sea, and then approach the capital.

However, when he was resting at a port on the coast, he was lured into the city by a certain prefect who pretended to surrender, and then set fire to the port.

More than half of the ship was burned, the soldiers fled, and everyone in the Cui family was killed.

However this is just the beginning.

Then another aristocratic family rebelled.

You must know that this is a serious crime that kills the nine tribes.

They usually really want to rebel, and they are also the first to drive away bandits and bandits to rebel.

Rather than die in person.

The so-called rebellion is often charged because of failing to take sides during the fight for inheritance rights.

But now, it is a real rebellion.

Give people food, money, weapons, and take care of things personally.

The Wang family in Zhongzhou, the Liu family in Xiliang, the Zhao family in Eastern province...

One by one, the famous families began to rebel.

The imperial court also went from being at ease in the beginning to being perfunctory and unable to move.

At this moment, it seems to be the time for Shang and Zhou to communicate.

It's still the version of Fengshen Yanyi: relying on only one Wen Taishi to fight and quell the rebellion.

The current emperor, too, could only let the prince and grand master lead troops to attack everywhere.

But even so, he was still stubborn and refused to issue an imperial edict to sin against himself or acknowledge the ten-year period.

They even intensified their efforts to eradicate Confucian temples in various places.

Wen Rensheng believed that he must know the reason why the family rebelled:

My ancestor was in the underground world and was attacked by the saint.

Can we not let our descendants work quickly in the earthly world?

As for the descendants being disobedient?

First, there are always those who obey.

Second, descendants will also come down in the future.

There are so many aristocratic families, and if only 10% of them are obedient and rebellious, that's fine.

But this obedience is extraordinary.

Start from southeast to northwest together.

"It seems that the emperor is going to be doomed this time." Many people among the scholars gloated.

"Yes, this situation is comparable to the last days of troubled times."

"That's right, the family is so powerful, how can the emperor balance it?"

However, what surprised them was that they were a little confused at first.

But as the county magistrates, prefects, governors, and governors in various places began to slowly make efforts to hold on.

The rebel forces of one big clan after another were restricted to the local area.

Then they were wiped out one by one by the imperial court's counter-rebellion army.

Everyone was stunned.

"This is impossible. Haven't the aristocratic families already infiltrated the imperial court? Why do those governors, governors, and prefects still listen to the imperial court?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, why are you hanging on to everyone? Don't you think about your own death?"

"Wait a minute, only those Jinshi are alive after death, and many of them are only alive, but this doesn't make sense. Many of them are members of aristocratic families. Why do they have to serve the court like this?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Only Wen Rensheng took a closer look and understood the clues.

Those bureaucrats were all changed by the emperor!

Yes, the founding god came to a world with demons, so he also used a cheating device.

Probably he was enlightened by what he did before being promoted.

I understand the true meaning that cheating feels good for a while, cheating always feels good.

So he locked in the loyalty of the core bureaucrats!

It's not that he doesn't want to lock everyone in. It should be that the rules of this world are still relatively strong and can only make minor modifications, not major ones.

As a result, the loyalty of bureaucrats in the core areas was locked up.

There is no lock on the loyalty of those messy fringe areas or unimportant officials.

Or it can't be locked.

So this way.

That's when things got fun.

The saint exerted his strength in the underground world, but in the end he couldn't resist the emperor's cheating in the above-ground world.

Ordinarily, this should have been a period of chaos in the Three Kingdoms.

Family groups unconsciously promote civil unrest.

Taking advantage of the civil unrest to force the emperor to open D prison.

It's fine now, but the emperor forcibly suppresses it.

And the most important thing is that the people did not mobilize.

Most of the people can still survive, and more than 40% of the people own their own land.

Therefore, except for the common people controlled by the noble families, most of the peasants will not follow them.

And those people who rebelled had very little initiative. They were just coerced. If they didn't follow the rebellion, they would seize the land.

However, when the court ordered that the land be confiscated and distributed to the rebels, the coerced tenant farmers naturally rebelled one after another.

Traitors abound.

As a result, one rebel clan after another was put down and killed.

They were slaughtered and the land was divided equally.

"The emperor's methods are too high!"

"Yes, it seems that the noble family cannot shake the emperor's foundation this time."

But Wen Rensheng understood clearly.

"Hahaha, the saint's methods are better."

"A saint is a saint. If you don't see one step and think three steps with this wisdom and brain, you are not worthy of being called a saint."

"Of course, saints are often not good at strategy, but good at following the right path."

"I'm afraid he had no choice but to come up with such a strange plan. Someone must have done it on his behalf."

Yes, Wen Rensheng understood.

This is the saint deliberately reducing the power of the aristocratic family...

What is rebellion?

To put it bluntly, it is the largest entrepreneurial venture in ancient times.

If you succeed, you will gain more than 200 years of wealth and royal family prosperity, as well as the most important reputation and incense.

If it fails, the whole family’s assets and population will be cleared.

The risks are huge and the costs are huge.

So we are not afraid of the second generation having fun, but we are afraid of the second generation working hard to start a business.

We are not afraid that the second generation will be heartless, but we are afraid that the second generation will be complacent.

Starting a business for a rich person is tantamount to charity for the poor.

After all, money doesn't disappear for no reason, it just moves from one place to another.

Originally, landlords, wealthy families, and wealthy families locked up food, land, and money in compounds, high walls, and caves. Now, they can take it all out.

It is given to soldiers and generals as military pay and rewards.

Obviously the wealth has been greatly diluted.

The purpose is to gain greater wealth, the entire world.

However, if the business fails, the wealth will not be recovered.

The land has been divided among people and it is impossible to get it back.

The excess population was consumed.

Wen Rensheng smiled.

This is really interesting.

All the people were deceived by the saint.

Including the emperor.

It's just that this is a conspiracy.

Not the avenue.

It can be used once.

After using it twice more, everyone will understand.

How should the saint solve the problem next time?

Sure enough, the ten-year period has come and the emperor is still the emperor.

But the emperor's heirs began to have difficulties.

Each concubine has no children.

It's also strange sometimes.

Obviously, the emperors in Ming Dynasty had dozens of concubines at one go, but in Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many emperors with only one or two children.

There are even a few people without children, which is not uncommon, such as Ming Wuzong and Tongzhi.

These are the two emperors.

This obviously cannot be explained solely by disease.

Maybe there's some conspiracy in there too.

After all, the civil servants could not defeat the emperor, but they did have ways to infiltrate the harem.

The harem is so big that the emperor cannot take care of it.

In the later period, the harem of the Qing Dynasty could be infiltrated by rebels, and assassins of the emperor openly walked in.

The gatekeeper didn't care and even ran away on his own.

So much so that the emperor lamented: "Nothing has ever happened to the Qing Dynasty."

Okay, this is a wealthy family, spontaneously starting to cause trouble.

I can't mess with you, the emperor, but I can mess with your children.

No matter how awesome you are, you only have 24 hours in a day. How can you use up my unlimited manpower and energy?

Sure enough, the emperor was in trouble this time.

Wen Rensheng thought to himself, why did he no longer lock the loyalty of the harem?

Probably his cheating ability has reached its peak.

In other words, we can no longer cheat.

The world has noticed it and been warned. If you cheat again, your account will be banned.

So now it seems that the emperor has no choice but to abdicate.

Anyway, if you don't abdicate, you will be waiting to annihilate your descendants.

Most emperors cannot resist this pressure.

There is no use having a throne without children.

If another small sect succeeds the big sect, the final result will be that the small sect recognizes his own father as the emperor and puts you aside.

The incense was given more to the biological father and less to the emperor.

Everyone has selfish motives.

The emperor began to offer a reward:

"Those who can give birth to a son for the emperor will be granted the title of Marquis by their family!"

"The one who gives birth to two sons will be crowned king!"

In this way, there is an endless stream of people in the harem.

Still nothing came out.

After all, the emperor still lost in the inconspicuous, down-to-earth, most real, and most pyrotechnic life in the harem.

Just like those wise and powerful emperors, they couldn't handle their own children.

Li Shimin, his own son rebelled.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the same.

Not to mention Qin Shihuang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, his biological son died, and his biological grandson was killed by his biological son.

In short, the descendants of these powerful emperors are nothing like chicken feathers.

The emperor is still made of flesh and blood and must be restrained.

Wen Rensheng shook his head.

But on this day, suddenly, the emperor found him.

"I didn't expect you to come to this world and become a civil servant. Now come and help me."

Wen Rensheng looked at him funny: "Why should I help you? Don't forget, you still want to hit me."

"The fact is that you hit me and made my world a mess. You owe me that. If you don't help me, who will?" The emperor said confidently.

"Oh, that makes sense. How do you want me to help you?" Of course Wen Rensheng didn't feel any debt, he just wanted to see how the other party would end up.

"The world has warned me about my cheating. You probably haven't. Hurry up and create a perfect harem for me. Everyone will be loyal, not jealous, and not harmful to children..." The emperor said one by one.

"Farewell."
