Chapter 771 The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs
The more anyone or any force pays in the early stage and the more they show they don't care, the bigger the other party may seek and the more difficult it is to accept.
The original Witch God Sect took the initiative to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, and the price they paid was not small. Not to mention what they paid to get Pei Xuanjing’s approval, it was not even considered that Wu Jiu broke through to the ninth level of the spiritual realm and was the most powerful. Realm's help, just to mention the contribution to the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Houcong, is extremely expensive.
They gave Zhu Houcong the practice methods, magical powers, and practice notes collected by the ancient human race co-masters collected by the Witch God Sect. Those resources for practice, especially the supreme human treasure, the top divine weapon Xuanyuan Divine Sword, which one is this? Not something hard to calculate.
In addition to the gifts given to the leader of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty’s Manchao Pavilion, old ministers, civil and military nobles, and clan members also received gifts from the Witch God Sect during the years of cooperation. A lot of funding was obtained, and many martial arts resources from the Wushen Sect were obtained.
There are also soldiers and officers established by the Ming Dynasty. Their training was also cultivated by the Wushen Cult. In particular, the Wushen Cult came up with methods for training soldiers in ancient times, which greatly increased the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that in all aspects, during these decades and hundreds of years, the Wushen Sect has provided particularly large support to the Ming Dynasty, and then the two have been closely integrated, which means that the Wushen Sect has greatly supported the Ming Dynasty. North Korea has considerable influence.
Eating people is soft-spoken, and taking advantage of others is short-handed, especially when the other party still has strong power as a guarantee. It is impossible for the Great Ming God to eat them all up and down, and turn their backs on people and the Witch God Cult. Accept the account.
Even to put it bluntly, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty who have a great impression of the Wushen Cult. If the two sides really fall out, there will really be many 'smart people' doing something Special move.
“Restoring the status of the chief priest of the witch priest lineage does not seem to be a big deal, as long as the leader of the divine dynasty issues a divine decree. But in fact, this is not the case. If I really make the decree, then it must be It caused an uproar." Zhu Houcong said calmly.
The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs. This sacrifice represents etiquette, and in the many years since the Witch God Sect withdrew, it was the Confucian sect that was in charge of the etiquette and law. They had grown to the point where they were with the dynasty, and even after the dynasty fell, the Confucian sect still existed.
Even though Zhu Houcong was supreme in the Ming Dynasty, and he was in charge of the Golden Book and Jade Book, he had the authority to entrust ministers, but the operation of the Ming Dynasty was definitely not something he could run alone. Without the support of the ministers, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to survive It cannot function at all. Both parties are dependent on each other.
Now that the leader of the Witch God has made this request, it is nothing to Zhu Houcong, but to the Confucian sect in charge of etiquette and law, it is a big taboo, and their authority has been eroded and weakened. It's unacceptable to them.
Sacrifice etiquette may not seem like much, but this etiquette represents orthodoxy and the right to interpret and speak. Confucianism will never give up this important right.
You must know that the original retreat of the Wushen Cult was not only due to the fear and rejection of the leaders of the gods, but also because of the emergence of Confucianism. They were competing with the Wushen lineage for the right to speak and relied on the gods. It was only with the support of the Lord of the Dynasty that the Witch Priest lineage was defeated, forcing the Witch God Cult to retire.
Although Zhu Houcong had never experienced the original struggle between the two sides, anyone who was not a fool would know that this was no small battle, and he did not want it to happen again, especially with his Ming Dynasty as the battlefield.
However, if they do not agree, the Witch God Cult will never give up. The Witch God Cult has invested so much money, which means that they have enough plans and calculations. Now that the initial request has been rejected, the Witch God Cult will The teacher is bound to get angry. The Ming Dynasty was unable to face the wrath of the Witch God Sect. Zhu Houcong could not resist the attacks of many powerful men. Regardless of whether Master Pei took action or not, although the Mr. Wu next to him was closely related, in the final analysis he was from the Witch God Sect, and he was still With the help of the Witch God Cult, it will be interesting to know what your stance will be if you are promoted to a strong person. It would even be good if the other party is neutral.
“Does Your Majesty take this matter too seriously?” Wu Jiujiu said with a smile.
He didn’t know what Zhu Houcong thought about him, but even if he knew, he would admit it. After all, he does not belong to the Wushen Cult now, but the relationship between the two parties still cannot be completely separated, especially since he knew that the Wushen Cult treated him at the beginning. If the traitor keeps his hand and helps himself to be promoted to a strong person, if the two sides fall out, he is likely to be neutral.
However, although Wu Jiujiu knew that it was not easy to restore the witch priest lineage to the position of chief priest, it was not as difficult as the other party thought.
"Sir, do you have any clever ideas?" Zhu Houcong looked at the confident Wu Jiujiu and asked.
Wu Jiujiu said leisurely: "Your Majesty is not the only person who has been trained by the resources of the divine religion in these years. Therefore, even if the divine religion raises questions and demands, naturally it cannot be shouldered by your majesty alone. Might as well put this matter Let’s put it openly and honestly in the court, and let’s see how the Dukes respond.”
Some problems, some things, are indeed very serious if one person is responsible for them, and the pot is too big. It's impossible for one person to carry it.
But if one person cannot bear it, then it is best to find someone, more people to share the burden. This is the best way.
"Sir, you are a great talent, but I am confused." Zhu Houcong reacted immediately.
The benefits brought out by the Witch God Religion were not obtained by Zhu Houcong alone, but by everyone in the Ming Dynasty. It is true that Zhu Houcong got the most, but he was the emperor and could act rogue. , so when encountering problems, Zhu Houcong does not need to bear it alone, and those people also need to shoulder it together.
You must know that although the Ming Dynasty was promoted to the Divine Dynasty, many regulations still continued as before. This cabinet handled many affairs, so now when such things happen, it is natural that they should be placed in the cabinet. There is no trace of it. question.
So, you don’t need to worry here. You can put all these things in the court, and see how those ministers, ministers and nobles view them. You must know that compared to yourself, they The identities of many of them are even more embarrassing, especially what will happen to those who are Confucian disciples and have benefited from the Witch God Sect.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Houcong can completely withdraw himself and temporarily stay on the outside. This can add an extra layer of insurance to this matter, so that the conflict between the two parties will not be so direct and there will be a chance to ease it. .
