Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

Any gorgeous language seems so pale and powerless in the face of cruel reality.

Ziwei Tiangong!

Emperor Ziwei lowered his eyes, looking at the old Li Longji who was arranging songs and dances with Yang Yunu, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he instinctively wanted to summon Chen E to come up to discuss.

But think about it or forget it. After all, Chen E once told him that the emperor had a slack mind. If Chen E was brought here just for this matter, it meant that he was not capable of solving problems, and his self-esteem would be too much.

"Hey~~"

Emperor Ziwei sighed.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Yuxu Palace!

As Li Longji changed Yuan Tianbao, Yuanshi Tianzun slowly opened his eyes. The so-called prosperity and decline, the anode and yin are born, and the Great Tang changed Yuan at its peak, triggering changes in the way of heaven, and a ray of catastrophe is gradually growing.

"Xuan Yangjian, Nezha, Wei Hu and Lei Zhenzi!"

Yuanshi Tianzun pinched his fingers and calculated, and called out.

"Yes, sir!"

The boy saluted and left.

After a while, the four of them walked into the hall and saluted: "I have seen the master!"

Yuanshi scanned them one by one, and the four of them were half-step Hunyuan peaks, and they were only one chance away from the real Hunyuan. It is not bad that three generations of disciples can have this achievement.

"Hmm~"

Yuan Shi made a satisfied voice, and said: "The four of you have reached a bottleneck in your cultivation, and the calamity in the lower realm is about to start, so you should go to meet the calamity and prove the way by killing the calamity. If you can survive the calamity, you may enjoy longevity. "

Lei Zhenzi's heart moved, and he asked: "Master, but the Underworld is going to be opened?"

"Not bad!"

Yuan Shi said in a deep voice: "Today, I will tell you that it is not easy to open up the Underworld. In addition to the luck of the Shravasti Kingdom brought back by Chen Guangrui, it needs the blood of countless living beings, maybe it is you, someone else, or even the deity." It may also fall."

"This……"

The four of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but see the tragic scene of countless immortals and Buddhas falling from the sky, and the blood spilled all over the ground.

Yang Jian couldn't help asking: "Master Zu, how could the calamity come so early, can't it be stopped?"

"Hey~~"

Yuan Shi sighed: "From the moment Chen Guangrui brought back the luck of the Savatthi Kingdom to the Tang Dynasty, the ending was doomed. It is strictly forbidden to kill immortals until the sky collapses and the earth dies. Unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven. Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty changed Yuan Tianbao not long ago. Come out, no one can stop you."

Nezha didn't dare to say the word: "Sage Hongjun can't stop it?"

Yuanshi said noncommittally: "The sage Hongjun is entangled by the evil tire? The evil tire is located at the bottom of the East China Sea? In the hundreds of millions of years between the heaven and the earth, countless people who died in the collapse of the world were born with the hostility? If you ignore it? Let it grow, Will it devour the way of heaven to form a new way of heaven? This way of heaven is irrational, bloody and insane? Will it destroy everything? The world will be reduced to a world that is worse than eighteen levels of hell."

As he spoke, a look of emotion appeared in Yuan Shimu's eyes.

Hongjun warned Chen E not to help Tiandao recover, and Chen E also had the same idea? Over the years? He rarely gave back to Tiandao, but Tiandao is the backstage boss of the four continents after all, even if he is old and dying, he is unable to exert direct influence. The impact can also be detoured from the side.

The appearance of the evil tire? Obviously bound the hands and feet of the saint, and involved most of the energy of the saint? And Li Longji changed his yuan to give birth to the catastrophe, which seems to be accidental? But everything in the world is entangled with cause and effect, where is there any real accident? What about events?

The key is that many great powers don't know about Tiandao? They don't know what kind of means Tiandao will have? They can only see tricks and dismantle tricks, and they are invisibly at a disadvantage.

Yuan Shi dared to assert that even if Li Longji continued to work hard, there would be changes.

After all, the Tang Empire has reached the limit of its prosperity, and under the glamorous appearance, there are hidden undercurrents.

Regarding the dissatisfaction of the eastern scholars with the existing system, there is the resurgence of the aristocrats in Longxi. The most fatal thing is that the channels for scholars to rise are narrow. , Ability to handle cases, and character, ability, achievements and assessments of previous work.

Taizong's era was better, when all kinds of wastes were in the early stages of prosperity, a large number of officials were needed, and the selection standards were very low, as long as they were not too bad, they could be elected.

In the four dynasties of Gaozong, Empress Wu, Zhongzong and Ruizong, due to fierce political struggles, a large number of officials were sacked, and many vacancies were also provided.

But the situation is different when it comes to Li Longji Dynasty.

The Qingping and prosperity in the past two decades has led to a rapid expansion of the ranks of scholars, but the position of officials has not changed for a long time, and the contradiction between supply and demand has gradually become acute. During the Tianbao period, only a few dozen of the ten thousand candidates were selected. This is a real thousand troops. The horse crosses the single-plank bridge.

At the same time, don’t be complacent if you are selected. Next, there will be a small test every year, and a big test every three to five years. The four goodness 27 will be the standard. Those who fall below the middle level in the test will be downgraded, fined, and even dismissed from office.

Originally, this system was very advanced, and the original intention of the designers was good, but everyone has selfish intentions. What is the purpose of being an official?Isn't it just to get promoted and get rich, and to glorify the lintel?

Datang's official selection system was too strict, and the vast majority of scholars did not have a bright future. In other words, they read books in vain, and they could not be cashed in. They still lived a poor life and wasted their youth in vain.

The process of studying is also a process of investing. A person who has studied hard for more than ten years is more than ten years of investment. In the end, the investment has been in vain. It is better to farm. At least the year of farming can be realized. Benefits, where can there be no resentment?

In many historical travels, the traveler will broaden the wisdom of the people and promote free education. Here I would like to ask, can your empire afford a huge number of scholars who cannot become officials?

You know, if the common people have a stutter, they will not rebel, but knowledge cannot be realized, and the anger of scholars will drown you!

The main contradiction in Datang is the contradiction between the increasingly sinking knowledge and the outdated system and backward productivity.

Of course, due to the prosperity of land annexation, the common people are becoming more and more impoverished, and the whole society is filled with an atmosphere of luxury and lust, which is also a contradiction that cannot be ignored.

In short, all classes in the Tang Dynasty are working together to breed an outbreak of great turmoil.

As a time traveler, Chen E can understand the plight of Tang Dynasty, but Yuan Shi may not be able to see it clearly. He mainly looks at the problem from the perspective of metaphysics. In his mind, even if Li Longji can suppress it, one must die. After death, can Chu Jun hold back?

"Master, what exactly is robbery?"

Wei Hu asked again.

Yuan Shi said slowly: "Yes, when a person's desires cannot be satisfied, resentment will grow, and resentment will gradually accumulate, and it is also resentment, the hatred between living beings, the hatred of living beings towards the common people, and the living beings cannot rest after death. Suffering endless torture in the underworld, the entanglement of all kinds of qi eventually turned into the robbing qi, so killing and robbing can only be used to stop killing and robbing, until there is no way to kill, the underworld will be opened up logically, giving creatures a shelter after death, death It is no longer frightening, but another destination, and the calamity will naturally dissipate."

The four of them stood upright, and they all instinctively thought of Buddhism. How many innocent souls are there in the eighteen levels of hell?

"Not bad!"

Seeing the expressions of the four people, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said: "It seems that you have also thought about it. Buddhism has seized too much merit and luck after the death of the living beings. There is no reason in the world to ask without asking. If you ask for it, you must pay it back. Now It's time to repay the debt, why didn't the Buddhist sect stop Chen Guangrui, who was making a big move in the Buddha's womb realm to get many spiritual treasures?"

Yang Jian instinctively said: "Chen Guangrui is the person appointed by the Dao of Heaven to be robbed. Could it be that Buddhism bribed him? It's like the emperor in the world sending eunuchs to inspect all places, and the governors and state officials everywhere will bribe him."

"Hehehe~~"

Yuan Shi couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing, pointed at Yang Jian and said with a smile: "You, you have stayed in the human world for too long, and you have acquired the habits of the human world."

"Master, please clarify!"

Yang Jian said awkwardly.

Yuan Shidao: "How can one bribe him because of the great teachings of Buddhism? It is actually because the Taizang Realm bears countless karma for Buddhism, and every spiritual treasure is full of blood. Let him ask for it, let him kill the great power, it is nothing more than a transfer." Cause and effect nothing more.
