Chapter 193 Emperor

Before I knew it, a year had passed.

During this year, Yang You invested a lot of effort in Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and the holy sects.

In Luoyang, construction is in full swing and has never stopped.

There are simply too many projects.

Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, Confucian and Taoist academies.

These were all real money that was spent, and they kept recruiting laborers to do the labor.

At this time, Yang You's reputation among the people was also ruined.

In their view, building palaces and digging the Grand Canal were the same as Yang Guang's.

However, there are also many rewards from Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and the holy sects.

During this year, talented people he trained continued to be recruited into the imperial court to serve him.

It doesn't seem like the talents of Buddhism and Confucianism have much potential.

The people sent by Taoism and the Holy Sect are truly powerful.

Most of the Taoist believers are from middle and upper class and are children of aristocratic families.

Although these children of aristocratic families were not very fond of Yang Guang, they still joined the court after being persuaded by Taoists.

The most powerful among them are those who have the ability to train soldiers.

As for the talents of the Saint Gate, the most outstanding ones are those who inherited the carpentry and mechanical skills of the Mohists and Gongshujia.

The weapons they made made Yang You and others very satisfied.

but!

Today Yang You and other officials in the court were very unhappy.

Why are you unhappy?

Because a piece of news spread in Luoyang.

It's not just Luoyang, it should be said that the news spread all over the world.

It attracted countless ambitious people to Luoyang.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Luoyang Palace,

imperial study room,
Wang Ming was flipping through a Taoist canon that was secretly stored in the palace.

Wang Ming did not practice today.

Because he didn’t dare to practice.

Wang Ming could clearly sense that
I sensed seven or eight auras.

The aura was clearly that of a master-level expert.

Wang Ming was not afraid of these auras.

The main thing is that there are really two forces.

Wang Ming was certain that those two auras were definitely at the level of a grandmaster.

As for who sent the message, Wang Ming was not very clear.

Because none of them had met Wang Ming.

He was just confronting Wang Ming outside with his momentum.

They also seemed unwilling to fight with Wang Ming.

Wang Ming also didn't want to take action. If he fought with this group of people, he would probably not be their match under normal circumstances.

If you don't care about the consequences, you can kill them all.

But it's not necessary.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Guande Hall,
Yang You was so angry that he broke several teacups.

The ministers below also had dark faces and remained silent.

Yang You was so angry because a piece of news spread in Luoyang City.

The news was that the Holy Lady Shi Feixuan from Cihang Jingzhai, the leader of the White Path, was coming.

Shi Feixuan naturally did not come to Luoyang City for sightseeing.

It comes with a mission.

She came with a heavy mission for the sake of "the people of the world". Shi Feixuan was going to choose a wise ruler for the people of the world in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

That is to say, the emperor chosen by heaven.

Shi Feixuan is about to carry out the task of selecting an emperor on behalf of Heaven.

The person chosen will get the Heshi Bi.

The imperial seal engraved with the eight words "Mandate from Heaven, May you live long and prosper forever".

The imperial seal and the He clan jade!
As soon as this news came out, people all over the world were shocked.

As a result, ambitious people who wanted to seize the highest power in the world came to Luoyang to try their luck.

To modern people, the He Shi Bi is just a piece of jade, but it was not simple in ancient times.

People of this era are very superstitious.

The mysterious color of He Shi Bi is even stronger.

If someone has the He Shi Bi, it will be very useful in recruiting talents.

Anyway, it is very attractive to the emperor.

At the same time, whoever gets the He Shi Bi will have the advantage of public opinion.

You will also gain a clear stand from Buddhism.

At first they were reluctant to come. After all, they were still frightened by the horror that Yang Guang had experienced when he went on a massacre in Siming Mountain.

However, they put their worries aside only after Cihang Jingzhai released the news that they would ask Ning Daoqi, one of the three great masters, to stop Yang Guang.

but,

They still felt unsafe, so they sent out the strongest masters from their own forces to guard outside the palace.

If anything goes wrong, run away immediately.

They were forced to come!
If they don't come, allowing their competitors to gain the support of Buddhism will be a fatal threat.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yang You was furious and said angrily, "What does this Cihang Jingzhai mean? We have been so friendly and sent many gifts, but they have the Heshi Bi and don't want to give it to me. Why are they doing this?"

The ministers below were all silent and kept silent.

Seeing that these ministers were pretending to be dead and not saying anything, Yang You could not help but shout angrily, "Speak! Speak!"

Dugu Feng came out with a cold face and said in a cold voice: "The actions of these nuns in the Buddhist Cihang Jingzhai are indeed not authentic. I will lead the troops to arrest all the monks in Luoyang immediately."

Yang You was also stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself: "I'll tell you, why are you so aggressive?"

This made Yang You feel a little embarrassed, because Yang You didn't want to touch Buddhism.

Just when Yang You was feeling extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Pei Yun spoke.

Pei Yun said: "As soon as this incident happened, I went to ask Master Zhenjian of the White Horse Temple. The master said that Buddhism is divided into many factions, and Cihang Jingzhai is not under their jurisdiction."

Dugu Sheng immediately said unhappily: "The Buddhist sect is trying to have its feet on two boats!"

For a moment they all fell into silence. They couldn't guess what the Buddhists were thinking, but they couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this moment.

This is the time to launch an attack against Buddhism, and then push the entire Buddhism towards the enemy.

But if we don't take action, it would be hard to justify the punishment.

Yu Shiji suddenly said uncertainly: "Is Cihang Jingzhai's move deliberately to build momentum for Your Highness? After comparing all the rebel kings, hand it over to Your Highness."

Originally, it should have been told to Yang Guang, but after a year, these ministers gradually got used to making Yang You the main decision maker.

Because Wang Ming really didn't care about what was happening outside, he directly blocked the entire harem, and Yang You couldn't go to the harem to meet Wang Ming.

It can be said that at this time Yang You had all the power that an emperor should have.

Pei Yun also said thoughtfully: "Master Yu is right. We have donated so many things to Buddhism, and the nuns in Cihang Jingzhai have also accepted them. They should not turn their backs on us."

When Yang You heard this, the anger in his heart subsided.

And if it is a truly fair competition, Yang You is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

Yang You has been trained to be an emperor since he was a child!

then,

Yang You no longer rejected this chosen emperor. Not only did he not reject it, he even opened the way for Shi Feixuan and the others.

Allow those guarding the city to allow in those who come to run for election appropriately.

However, Yang You was not a naive person, and he ordered troops to be mobilized to Luoyang.

If the He Shi Bi was not given to him, he would snatch it away.
