Chapter 772: The crowd is boiling
The Witch God Sect wants to regain the power of sacrifice and petitions the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to restore the status of the chief priest of the witch priest lineage.
This news spread in the entire Ming Dynasty, even the entire Ming world, and even the world of heaven and earth in an instant. When Zhu Houcong raised this topic at the meeting of the Ming Dynasty one day .
There is no airtight wall in this world, and this time Zhu Houcong deliberately did not conceal it. He directly raised the matter in the court, which meant that there was no possibility of blocking the concealment.
Wow! In an instant, the crowd was in a state of excitement.
Not to mention the Tianhuang Realm, what do the various forces in the Ming Dynasty think? Just within the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, many officials above the court that day, ministers, ministers, military officials, clan princes, etc. all have different reactions. , each has its own attitude.
But no matter what, this incident undoubtedly dropped a huge boulder on the originally peaceful court, causing huge waves in the sky.
After countless years of development, the Confucian sect has grown to an unimaginable level. Even after being promoted to the divine dynasty, these people were enshrined and embarked on the Shinto path, but they still considered themselves to be members of the Confucian sect, respecting Etiquette.
As Zhu Houcong and Wu Jiujiu expected, when this matter was brought up, countless officials opposed it, especially those civil servants with imperial examination background. They believed that this was the Wushen Religion eroding their own rights. They Xiang Zhuhou They made hysterical reports, saying that this matter would harm the Ming Dynasty and that it was the wolfish ambition of the Witch God Sect. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that when they were first vigorously cultivated by the Witch God Sect, they strongly advocated the help and role of the Wu God Sect for the Ming Dynasty.
As the saying goes, from one moment to the next, when they found that their interests were being violated, they naturally changed their attitude and never returned to the past.
However, it is a pity that the investments made by the Wushen Sect over the years are not all ineffective. In addition to the civil servants who are from Confucian sects and consider themselves disciples of Confucian sects, there are also many military honors in this court, but they do not have so many scruples.
For these people, they have their own understanding. For them, they don’t need to care about what Confucianism thinks, nor do they care about the bullshit interpretation of etiquette. They only need to make themselves stronger and then help the Great Ming God. Become stronger to cope with more things.
So, since the existence of the Witch God Cult is beneficial to them and can help them become stronger, these people will naturally not refuse it. Even in the past few years, there has been a civil and military conflict. Naturally, there are many conflicts between these military heroes and civil servants. , now that these people are defeated, they can still take this opportunity to repay the favor of the Witch God Sect, so these martial arts heroes are very happy.
For those clan princes, they have similar thoughts. You must know that as clan members, they are inevitably criticized and criticized by these civil servants. Now that they have the opportunity to return the favor, they will naturally not miss it.
As a result, the Confucian sect, which was supposed to be powerful in the court, suddenly became a disadvantage. This is simply unimaginable. Of course, the temporary disadvantage did not affect the overall situation at all. Although they could not veto the matter on the spot, they had enough power to shelve the matter from the court for the time being.
However, shelving it in the court does not mean that it is really shelved. On the contrary, it means that the matter is constantly fermenting and brewing, causing more and more storms.
You must know that Confucianism is not only in the Ming Dynasty, but also has branches in some ancient countries in the Tianhuang Realm. Although the power of these branches is not strong, it undoubtedly gives many people an excuse. , an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
It is really an eventful time. Originally, ever since the merger plan of the two worlds was promoted, the most important and eye-catching thing in the world should be this plan. Countless monks should be paying close attention to this matter. every step of the way.
But over the years, major events in the world have appeared one after another, attracting the attention of countless monks from all forces, making the merger of the two worlds seem not that important.
"Mr. Ge, how should we handle this matter?" An official asked Wang Qiong in the residence of Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of War.
As the Minister of War, Wang Qiong was also promoted from the imperial examination, and countless supporters behind him were also from Confucian schools. For people with such high positions as them, Confucianism cannot actually restrain them. Instead, the power of Confucianism is used by them. In many cases, with the power of interpretation of Confucianism in hand, many of their behaviors and actions are natural. There is natural justice.
It can be said that the current request of the Witch God Religion is to allow the Witch Priest lineage to regain the position of chief priests, that is, to seize power from their hands and weaken their strength. This It's something they can't tolerate.
However, Wang Qiong, who has matured into a mature man, will naturally not make a decision easily, because his successful practice over the years has also received a lot of support from the Witch God Sect. Such a direct rebellion would be a big deal for such a big shot. His reputation was ruined, and there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, so he would not choose to break up if it was absolutely necessary.
He looked at Gu Ji: "Looking at how confident you are, you must be confident!"
A smile appeared on Gu Ji's face: "We are afraid of the power of the Wushen Cult because of the existence and threat of the strongest, but it does not mean that we really have no way to compete."
He looked around and said : "In Gu's opinion, there is one person who is enough Stand up and fight against the Wushen Cult."
"Oh?"
"Who?"
"Is it possible that there are some powerful people in the Wushen Cult? Can the strongest exist? ”
"The situation within the Divine Dynasty is chaotic now. If another force is introduced, it will probably be even more troublesome."
"."
Everyone was talking about it, expressing their own opinions and fears.
Wang Qiong frowned slightly, signaled them to be quiet, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you planning to let Wang Bo'an return to Tiandu?"
Wang Qiong naturally reacted to Gu Ji's words. I know who the other party is talking about. After all, the real great sage in Confucianism over the years is Wang Bo'an. The other party shocked the world with his actions at the Shenxiao Discussion Conference. Over the years, I don't know how advanced his strength has been.
"Yes, Brother Wang's return to Tiandu at this time will not only help us fight against the Witch God Cult, but it will also be an opportunity for Brother Bo'an to carry forward his spiritual knowledge." Gu Ji said seriously.
Wang Bo'an's mind is unique, and coupled with his profound strength, he has so many disciples in recent years that he has almost become one of the most prominent schools in the Confucian sect. However, this situation has also been secretly controlled by some big guys within the Confucian sect. , after all, no one is willing to give up their interests, which is why Wang Boan has been living outside the customs for a long time, unable to return to Tiandu.
