Chapter 558: People are gone, they have to make some changes

The sound of swords is gone, and people are gone, but the heavy rain is still there.
The sages on the clouds have not left yet. Zhang Wumo came to the clouds from the world, and stood beside Master Zhou. The sage Zhao who was hiding in the clouds also appeared, holding the map of mountains and rivers. It was like holding a very ordinary thing. He was indifferent, and there was really nothing to be excited about. Chao Qingqiu's departure from the world was a big event, but what worries him is that Chao Qingqiu left with him. After walking a full three seas, not the big demon, there are also two saints.
Add the Du Sheng who Ye Changting killed before.
There are only four saints in the Daomen now.
Although there are only two Confucianists left on the bright side, the other one never left this world.
It just disappeared.
Who knows if he will not come out one day, will he return to the cloud?
This is the variable.
Confucianism and Taoism have been fighting in the mountains and rivers for many years. Confucianism has always been the weaker side. Now it seems that there will be no changes in the future. This is only possible unless the saint returns.
Or those monks who climb upstairs in the world can walk up to the clouds.
The most brilliant human monk in Confucianism is Su Ye, but everyone knows that there is still a gap between him and Guanzhuliang, saying that he is most likely to go to the clouds in the years to come, and it should be the Guanzhu.
The saints are reluctant to manage human affairs, but it does not mean that their existence and the human world are innocent.
Now the world has changed.
It is because there are two more sword fairies.
It also looks good.
Ye Sheng sighed, thought about it, just said: "Everything is the same."
He said this while looking at Master Zhou.
Everything is the same, it is natural to talk about the relationship between Confucianism and Taoism, as well as their status in the world.
Even if there are three saints in Confucianism, they do not necessarily have any substantial combat power.
At least for now, Confucianism still has only two saints.
Master Zhou had no reason to disagree.
He nodded and said, "Everything is the same."
Ye Sheng stopped talking and left on the cloud.
Zhao Sheng also walked quickly. The remaining two saints, Ning Sheng and Chen Sheng, were a little hurt. They looked at each other and quickly left the cloud.
Only the two saints of Confucianism are left.
Master Zhou and Zhang Sheng wandered in the clouds, their expressions were very calm. Zhang Sheng did not appear in the clouds before because he was stopped by Qing Tianjun. Naturally, no one would blame him. Master Zhou knew well that he was actually willing to Zhang Sheng not. appear.
As early as Chao Qingqiu wanted to choose not to go to Heaven to start, Master Zhou had calculated the final outcome, and only a permanent sage died, which he can accept and should accept.
If one more died, Confucianism would be reduced to a situation similar to that of a swordsman.
Zhang Sheng drifted forward for a long time, and then said: "Chao Qingqiu has no friends, but it is pleasing to my eyes. Why are you worried that he will kill me?"
Master Zhou smiled and said, "He wants to kill, but if he doesn't kill you, would he kill me?"
Zhang Sheng stopped, looked at Master Zhou, and smiled: "Why can't I kill you."
Master Zhou did not speak.
He is not the first choice to kill because he is not easy to kill.
As the leader of Confucianism, he has the same status as Ye Sheng in the Taoist sect. If he really wanted to be so easy to kill, he would have been killed long ago.
Zhang Sheng knew this reason, and he said it casually before.
He looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and said with a smile: "Riding a crane
That idiot finally died, and every time something happened, I felt uncomfortable looking at his stinky face. "
Zhang Sheng's temper has always been free and easy, but he has to pretend to be calm early in front of the saint on weekdays.
Master Zhou only smiled after hearing this, and didn't care.
"The world is going to change."
This is Master Zhou's sigh.
Zhang Sheng said: "If you change, you will change."
"no big deal."
...
...
The world will really change. After this slaying battle, there are still two sword sages in the world, but there are only four sages in the Dao Sect. Under certain circumstances, this is the same as the highest combat power of the swordsman line. .
And after this battle, Confucianism and Taoism no longer have a common rival, and without Chaoqingqiu, the relationship between the two religions will be very delicate.
Of course, this has always existed, but it will become more obvious in the future.
It's just that this change first started in Luoyang City.
Chao Qingqiu is a human world who left in the sea of ​​clouds in Luoyang City, and the meaning here is very different.
In this event that belongs to the world of practice, the Emperor Yanling did not appear because he was not qualified, but soon, the Emperor Yanling learned the whole story in the Imperial Study Room.
Then he sent someone to ask those who understand.
Knowing that in the clouds, Confucianism has died a saint.
So the Emperor Yanling made a very important decision.
In the rain of blood, he flipped through the list of all ministers in the bureaucracy.
Now in Luoyang City, many people have recollected the so-called unethical affairs of the king before, all because of the blood rain, but it is not important, because the Emperor Yanling does not care now.
After flipping through those lists, he summoned several ministers into the palace overnight, and those ministers were his most valued ministers.
It is also the most trusted.
He put the list he found out at the table and let the ministers see it for themselves.
Then Emperor Yanling said with a smile on his lips: "You know what I am going to do."
Those courtiers looked through the list in their hands. The names on them included important ministers who held a certain authority, and there were also some clear ministers. Some of them were friends, some were not, but whether they were friends or not, they all had a common relationship.
That is, they are closely connected with Xuegong.
A courtier asked in a low voice: "What will your majesty do?"
Emperor Yanling said decisively: "Sweep the Qing Dynasty Hall!"
The Emperor Yanling had given birth to many ideas many years ago, the most important of which was to leave the shelter of the Academy and let the people under the mountain take care of themselves.
But this is the most difficult thing to achieve.
So it has been stranded.
Until now.
An old official with white hair asked: "Your Majesty wants to do this, but have you thought about the consequences?"
The death of one or two saints is not a big deal, at least from a certain angle.
The saint is gone, the school is still there.
Luoyang City did not have the ability to compete with the Xuegong. At this time, it was not a wise move to choose to fight against the Xuegong.
Maybe it will arouse the anger of Xuegong.
This situation will be more chaotic.
But Emperor Yanling's heart had been decided, and no one could change it.
He pointed to the list and said, "I never want to see them again."
This is the declaration of his firm will.
Ministers look at your majesty
In this way, they gave up the idea of ​​persuading.
Many people backed out.
Only the white-haired veteran was left. He knelt to the ground and said in a low voice: "The old vassal served the first emperor, and watched his majesty grow up, and even watched the dynasty flourish for so many years. He really didn’t want to watch. He is declining. If your Majesty is not absolutely sure, please think twice."
Emperor Yanling helped him up and comforted him softly: "If you keep bowing your head, this will be the case for the rest of your life."
"But I bowed my head for a lifetime, what I'm afraid of is that all generations will be bowed, just like the past."
Having said this, Emperor Yanling sighed.
Bowing his head is not what he wants to do.
The white-haired veteran knew that he could no longer persuade him. He watched the Yanling emperor grow up and knew that his temper was very unusual. After he made up his mind, no one could persuade him.
"The old minister hopes that your majesty can do so."
After saying this, the white-haired veteran left the palace.
Emperor Yanling waited until everyone had gone. He came to the window and watched the rain. He smiled calmly: "Chao Jianxian, when you leave the world, you are also helping me. Although I don't practice swords, I still I would like to say thank you."
The voice spread out and also reached the court.
Emperor Yanling has always been in the dynasty for many years, and his temper has always been very good and gentle, but today, everyone feels that they have a misunderstanding of his majesty.
The courtiers knelt on the main hall, listening to the eunuchs on the side of the emperor's dragon chair reading one name after another.
Then I felt terrified.
After all the names on the list have been pronounced, it will be the highlight.
In the end, the was saying that all these people...removed? !
There is no mild wording, and there is no special statement, that is, the word direct removal.
Many ministers looked at each other.
Not only the wording of accident, but also the number of these people.
You must know that after these people were deposed, it was equivalent to the fact that most of the courtiers in Luoyang City were deprived of official positions.
Where did the emperor do this?
Most of the courtiers were pale, even if they were not dismissed, they were frightened.
After these ministers are removed, who will deal with political affairs?
Even the ministers who saw what was wrong with the deposed ministers thought it was bad.
A minister walked out and stood in front of Emperor Yanling. After kneeling to the ground, he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, if such ministers are deposed today, how will political affairs be handled?"
This minister and Xuegong are as old as they are, and he is dedicated to Yanling.
Emperor Yanling seemed to know this question, but shook his head.
Soon the second will came out.
In this plan, the vacancies that were dismissed were filled.
Some were promoted to officials by courtiers who were still in the court, and some were directly those literary magnates who had not yet entered the officialdom.
Anyway, it was arranged.
Even the minister who spoke was promoted.
Emperor Yanling turned out to be really prepared.
No one else in the court today would say anything else to disturb the mind of the Emperor Yanling, because he would not listen to anything. After these arrangements were made, he came up with another list.
If the previous list is for Emperor Yanling to clear the court, then what is this list?
The ministers in the court wanted to know.
