Out of the cage

Chapter 1024 Chapter 22.29 (Part 1) The Return of the Demon Mist

The leader of Mo Jie was killed, but Mo Jie was still going on, Wei Keng stared at Leiyun Continent: Oh? It seems that the progress of this game of chess does not need to hold black pieces, and the (players) with white pieces are all there!

The system seems to have not had enough fun with the Tai'a sword, the huge sword light is still shining in the sky, the system: (Let's) go kill the other one now?

Wei Keng hid the Starry Sky Formation, played with the Heaven Slaughter Gu that he had just obtained, and responded: "Don't worry, play with him and see how that guy can play Reversi by himself at the same time. , Turn the chessboard again!"

...Twilight thunder and lightning, why worry? Jue strict disobedience, what can the emperor ask for? …

In the mortal world, in the Great Liang Dynasty, when the state capital fell, the court finally began to "wrath".

This dynasty is a legal system jointly established by the seven orthodox schools, the three schools of Taoism, Confucianism and monks, and the eight famous first-rank families on the Leiyun Continent.

Among them, the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty was the largest family, and their surname was Limu.

Li Murui is currently in charge of the imperial court. Now sitting in the tall golden throne, below him, the family of military generals, great Confucianists, and national teachers saluted him according to the court law, and then began to lead a group of officials in the court hall separate station

As the new emperor, Li Murui can't suppress all parties now, and the emperor must learn the balance technique, which is as shallow as his current foundation building cultivation. Among the previous emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty, they often advanced to the core formation before they could take charge .

The throne is not easy to do, nor is it so easy to come by. Six thousand and five hundred years ago, the ancestor of Limu was a descendant of a great monk. Later, the great monk of Nascent Soul fell into the chaos of demons in order to ensure the stability of the world. middle.

It is said that the Limu family had such a relationship, so they were appointed by the ancestors of the Huashen period to be transferred to the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty.

As an emperor, you must govern the world. It seems to be a lot of hard work, but it also has benefits, that is, the throne worshiped by the people of Leiyun Continent will give birth to an aura of respecting the dragon. Such an aura of emperor can evolve after the alchemy stage, and a variety of special supernatural powers .

At this time, Li Murui, who had nothing to do, didn't care about the debates about the world situation among the Confucians in the court. He thought about his future supernatural powers, and on the other hand, he thought about the beauties in the harem. The distracting thoughts in the mind are like damp firewood entering the stove, and they rise up in every possible way.

In fact, the current chaos in the court did not start today. During the Zhenxuan period, it seemed that the world was peaceful, and there were already signs of party struggle in the court.

Ten years ago, the old emperor reached the final alchemy stage and felt that his spirit of respecting the dragon was complete, so he began to hang out in the alchemy room all year round, trying to conceive a baby.

The former emperor was jealous of the imbalance of power, and he also specially contributed to this kind of party-lord struggle.

Today's "Ming Chen" in the court knows that the first emperor was not stupid, but was too smart, and did not consider how the successor would get started with this difficult temple control game.

Five years ago, following the failure of the old emperor to conceive a baby, he finally turned into a ghost cultivator of the Nascent Soul, and the Zhenxuan dynasty came to an end. With the change of government, everything seems to be fairly stable, but in recent years, various problems have emerged like a blowout.

Die Wen, who is in an emergency in the frontier, comes to the center like snowflakes, but the center is like a feverish brain, arguing with each other and dealing with problems inefficiently.

The Confucian scholars in the imperial court were arguing, and now, when the new emperor was thinking wildly and thinking about the grapes on the chest of the palace woman beside him, at this moment, documents that shone with spiritual light floated in front of the emperor.

The emperor could only suppress the burgeoning distracting thoughts, and stopped abruptly.

After reading the official document, the emperor questioned the officials holding the jade wat below: "Qiongdi and Guanyuan, which is the focus of my court?"

Holding the jade wat, Meng Que stepped forward and said, "The frontier defense of Qiongdi is in charge of Lord Zhaowu, but, Your Majesty, in the year 912 of Zhenxuan, the first emperor withdrew the supply to Qiongdi, so the army withdrew to Changfeng Pass. "

This minister is a disciple of Hengyun Academy who belongs to the seven authentic sects. He just entered the imperial court in his early years. In the early days of alchemy, he was famous for his courage to "needle" the political abuses of the government. : The king should not consume state money, wantonly expand the harem (cauldron harvesting), and use many resources that should be used for state affairs for his own private use.

Of course, there was no exception. When the first emperor was in power, this upright minister was quickly demoted.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has been transferred to the temple again. From the beginning of the "direct remonstrance", this minister has become miserable.

The relaxation of the dynasty's military equipment began a hundred years ago. This decline cannot be changed by relying on a certain minister who is "greatly accomplished in Confucianism and Legalism".

In the Great Liang Dynasty, the regiment with monks as generals needed spirit stones, just like the missions sent out by sects needed contribution points. If resources were not given, no cultivator would be willing to come and sacrifice his life!

Oh, there was an army of prisoners in the Great Liang Dynasty, which was restrained by the Inner Demon Order, forcing the monks at the bottom to fight. However, this is purely a drain on long-term credit.

In recent years, there have been no disciples from aristocratic families who are willing to join the army in the Great Liang Dynasty, not even casual cultivators from poor families.

Because the resources of joining the army do not have much advantage compared to the contribution of the sect to the casual cultivators, and they are often assigned to do vicious tasks. For example, tracking down the magic cultivator takes a long time and is very risky. If you can't complete the task, you will be punished.

Loose cultivators have been suffering from the sect for a long time. I can only ask for a happy life, but this was seized by the Confucian sect and aristocratic families, accusing him of being lazy and unwilling to forge ahead.

In the past few decades, the Taoism of Qiongdi has flourished and martial arts have risen. The ministers in the court suddenly thought of recruiting troops to Qiongdi, but when the decree reached Qiongdi, it was rejected by Taihe Mountain. The decree of the Daxian Zong stopped the behavior of the court.

Narrator: This is because of the war between Wei Keng and the demon lord in the north, after chasing directly into the Nine Heavens Star Gang, he walked out calmly. Shocked to the other deities.

...The topic turns back to the Great Liang Dynasty, in terms of governance,...

At this time, not only the frontier defense was corrupt, but also the official system became more and more obsolete.

For example, the thirteen prefectures of Qingjiang, all the array spirit stones that were originally used to regulate water conservancy for the rivers in the prefectures below, were all secretly embezzled by the local aristocratic families of the imperial court. How many disciples of families who had no hope of cultivating immortals in the local area began to spend extravagantly, burn spiritual stones, and buy "five flavors of red dust" to taste food.

The disciples of the aristocratic families in the state capital are superfluous as officials, and most of the spiritual officials who regulate the local weather are not human beings.

In the early years of the Liang Dynasty, after these ghosts and demons were surrendered by the dynasty, they kept the side peaceful and healthy. But a demon is a demon after all, and there is still a hint of demon nature hidden.

Although frightened by the remaining prestige of the court at this time, he still dare not resist, and now he is quietly testing on the edge.

At present, there are fewer spirit stones given by the dynasty. Of course they will not complain publicly, but the local people will be miserable. The wind is not adjusted, the rain is not smooth.

In the borders near those big sects, where peace can still be maintained, the sect will compensate these spirit officials for the lack of spiritual stones in the dynasty, so that the four seasons in the mortal world are orderly, the things are rich and the people are abundant,

But the soul boys (Tianlinggen, Shuanglinggen disciples) reported in these places will also be given to the sect, not the dynasty.

As for the spiritual officials in other places, they have become evil gods, secretly eating boys and girls, or keeping little demons in captivity, absorbing the souls of people to practice.

There is a saying that the tyranny is fiercer than the tiger, but now it is "the tiger donates the tyranny for the officials", and the people in the chaotic realm have to move to the realm near the sect and the family, asking for the protection of the gods, so in this troubled world, the sect The door is in Daxing.

... Between aristocratic families and dynasties, there are ups and downs in strength...

The dynasty declines, but the family prospers. As the dynasty prospers, the aristocratic family declines. These are the default cycle of the heavenly law of each sect.

But now these balances have been broken, and the reproduction of the human race will be affected. Demons were born to do evil, approaching the bottom line of the seven orthodox sects.

In the court, a consensus was barely formed, and the new emperor of this dynasty should work hard to rule and sweep away the evils.

Li Murui, who is now a marionette, may only be a fool. With the advice of the courtiers, the imperial court issued an edict.

Zhao, General Zhaowu, led the army from Lu to Guanyuan. And Princess Youheng led the Tianzhen Army from Yunsong Valley to help.

…a stream of dragon spirit attached to the golden-winged token, and the token flew out of the majestic high-eaved palace to the frontier...

After the edict was issued, the imperial court issued an order at this time, and the immortal cultivators of the four directions and the demons officially went to war.

It's just that after such an order is issued, how much wind and rain will there be in the world?

Wei Keng: The monks of the small sect have no guts to kill the big demons, but they dare to attack those local spirit officials who are law-abiding and humble, and this will kill many honest spirit demons who were originally protecting the people. On the contrary, those evil demon spirit officials with means and magic power will make a name for themselves as the situation surges.
