The first day of the first lunar month.
According to the custom of Dahuang, on this day every year, people will write a few auspicious words on red paper, such as "Start writing on New Year's Day, good luck in everything", "Start writing on New Year's Day, and make progress in reading", etc., as a symbol of Good omens for the new year.
The royal family also has this tradition of "writing on New Year's Day".
However, compared with the private sector, the royal family's "writing ceremony" is more solemn and the etiquette is more sophisticated. The content of the inscription is usually a hexagram, which contains more expectations and prayers for the entire country.
On this cold and windy winter morning, Gu Xu walked to the long desk in the study room of Jiangyundian Palace.
He first filled the golden cup with Tusu wine, and then lit a new white candle on the candlestick.
Then he took out the Jinghong Pen.
The pen tip hovered above the rice paper for a long time, but it never came down.
"What should I write about?" He fell into deep thought.
He clearly remembered that not long ago, he accidentally read the "New Year's Day Opening" written by Emperor Tianxing in the palace for more than 20 years.
No matter when he first ascended the throne or when he was firmly established; whether the years were quiet and peaceful, or when natural disasters occurred one after another; whether demons were rampant or foreign enemies invaded, the words of Emperor Tianxing's "opening" never changed and were always the same short sentence. "Since God bless you, everything will be good and bad."
It seems that he completely pinned the fate of the entire country on the blessing of God.
But Gu Xu knew very well that Emperor Tianxing, as the projection of Supreme Haotian's will, was indifferent to other things except the power of incense.
Of course Gu Xu would not have such a "ruling by doing nothing" mentality.
Especially after having an in-depth conversation with Jiang Zhaoyue last night, he felt more clearly the deep crisis and tremendous pressure that Daxia was facing.
The domestic war has just subsided, and external enemies are pressing closer.
Every moment of laxity may plunge Daxia into a place of no return.
Under such a situation, he knew that he had to do his best to have the ability to withstand this coming storm.
After a while, the pen tip fell.
As his brushstrokes flowed across the paper, lines of powerful handwriting gradually emerged.
"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement."
A ray of sunlight penetrated through the window and fell on the white paper, seeming to coat the black ink with a brilliant golden edge.
Gu Xu stared at this line of words and was silent for a long time. When he saw the word "天行" at the beginning, and then saw the word "self-improvement" in the sentence, he felt a strong sense of irony in it.
Then he sealed the auspicious words in the yellow box, turned around and walked out of the study.
…………
at the same time. All the civil and military officials in Luojing City have also set off from their homes and rushed to Zichen Palace to participate in the annual "Zhengdan Court Meeting" to congratulate the emperor on the New Year.
According to convention, the "Zhengdan Chao Hui" is usually held in Fengtian Hall.
However, since the Fengtian Palace Square is currently occupied by a silver dragon, the officials had to take a detour and instead hold the "congratulatory ceremony" at the slightly smaller Guangzheng Palace.
When the officials passed by the sleeping silver dragon, saw its huge body dozens of feet long, and felt the majestic power of the dragon, they only felt awe and fear. Some people even walked Not even stable.
Gu Xu sat on the throne, accepted the congratulations from the civil and military officials, and received the congratulatory forms presented by them.
Then he waved his hand to signal other officials to step aside, leaving only Luochuan alone to discuss important matters with him in the palace.
"According to what Jiang Zhaoyue said last night, the development speed of the Lingxiao world is far beyond our imagination," Gu Xu said solemnly, "They have occupied another nineteen worlds. For them, It is not difficult to eliminate the great wilderness.
“Perhaps, our plan to promote the secrets of exercises and break the monopoly of knowledge must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. "
"Emperor, have you decided to copy the secret books collected from the major families and sect gangs and promote them to the whole world as you said before? "Luochuan asked.
Gu Xu shook his head: "These secret books, they are just dead objects. If we simply put them in the hands of monks all over the world, then who will solve their puzzles when they encounter problems? When they make mistakes Who can point it out in time? When they have innovative ideas, how can they quickly share them with more people? "
"You mean..." Luo Chuan seemed to be vaguely aware of the emperor. thoughts.
"Wenchang, I believe you have noticed that the Zifu Army recently relied on the 'Qingdu Order' to study the "Xiahuang Sutra" in Wuying Hall, and the progress is very rapid," Gu Xu said, "They are in The discussion in the discussion room was in full swing, which also provided me with a lot of inspiration for improving the practice.
"I wonder if we can extend the 'Qingdu Order' to all parts of the country and make it available to the whole world. The monks can express their opinions in the 'Tao Discussion Room' and compete in the 'Tao Discussion Realm', allowing the sparks of their thoughts to collide more intensely.
“At the same time, we can also put the contents of the secret books directly into the illusion space of the ‘Qingdu Order’. Practitioners can exchange them with meritorious deeds or silver coins.
"In addition, set up a virtual currency in this illusion.
"Practitioners only need to answer questions for others, or achieve good results in the realm of discussing Taoism, or provide 'clear If you all contribute your own cheats, you will receive corresponding rewards. This kind of virtual currency can also be used to exchange for skill secrets...
"Every month, or every quarter, we can rank the top monks in each realm of the 'Realm of Taoism', as well as the monks who have made the greatest contribution. The monks will inform the whole country and give commendations.
“In this way, they can stimulate their fighting spirit and desire to share and communicate.
“Although this is far from enough for Dahuang’s strength to surpass Lingxiao Realm in a short period of time, I believe that in such an active, inclusive atmosphere that encourages sharing and innovation, Dahuang can The progress of the monks must be faster than the closed, stagnant environment of the Daqi Dynasty..."
Luo Chuan stood in the main hall, quietly listening to Gu Xu elaborate on the idea in his mind.
He deeply felt that what the emperor said today was by no means a whim, but a well-thought-out and comprehensive plan. I just waited for the right time today to tell myself.
At this moment, Gu Xu suddenly raised his voice and changed his title. He said: "...As the emperor of Great Xia, since I ask the monks all over the world to pass on scriptures and send treasures, then I should be the first in the world. , lead by example, and set an example for everyone.
"My experience in practicing every Taoist method in my life, my ideas for improving every talisman, and my experience in using every mantra...as long as it is useful to everyone in the world. If it is useful, I will share it free of charge in the future "Qingdu Order".
"Wenchang, tell me, is my idea feasible?" (End of Chapter)
