Chapter 371: Doing Nothing, So Doing Everything
Tianjing, Cheng'en Hall.

The Emperor of Great Xia and the Empress of Heaven were in court, but the Emperor of Great Xia still did not take back the privilege of the Three Officials to annotate memorials and memorials in Cheng'en Hall.

He needed time to cultivate himself, so he also needed people to help him manage the empire. Important memorials would naturally be brought up for deliberation at court meetings, but a large number of local memorials from various states and provinces still needed to be "filtered" by the three departments first to filter out a large number of useless memorials.

Inside the Cheng'en Hall, the three officials were reviewing memorials one by one, adding comments and suggestions, which would be sent to the Xuanfa Hall later for the Emperor of Great Xia to confirm with his red pen.

Suddenly Dong Xingshu's movements paused.

He picked up the memorial in front of him and read it carefully, then looked at the cover to make sure who wrote it. Finally, he frowned, but put the memorial down with relief, and did not start writing immediately.

On his left and right, Qingkong Gui and Yuchi Pojun looked at each other with tacit understanding. There were not many memorials in the world that could make Dong Xingshu so troubled.

In the past, this situation only happened once every one or two years, but ever since that guy entered the court, every memorial he submitted has caused the three officials great distress.

Yuchi Pojun asked softly, "What was that boy's memorial?"

Dong Xingshu nodded and handed the memorial in his hand to Yuchi Pojun.

Yuchi Pojun took the memorial and looked at the title.

"Report on the Feasibility of the Moon Phase System and the Fight against Divine Evil".

Ever since Zhou Tieyi began to promote vernacular Chinese, no matter what others did, the memorials he wrote now all moved towards vernacular Chinese.

But this vernacular text made Dong Xingshu and Yuchi Pojun feel awkward no matter how they read it, as if it was specially designed to mock these outdated antiques.

This kid is so irritating even when writing a memorial!

Yuchi Pojun spread out the memorial and read it carefully.

The content of the memorial is very detailed, mainly introducing a "moon phase system" that can be suspended in the dreams of all living beings to guide the power of the moon to treat the mental problems of inkstone disease.

After reading this passage, Yuchi Pojun's face still showed joy!
Although the Mohists, Gongshujia and ordinary people who mine are the most troubled in terms of spiritual issues, their military strategists are not much behind!
Madness has always been the most serious disease plaguing the lower-level soldiers in the military, even more serious than sword wounds!
Especially after experiencing a brutal war, if the spirits of the lower-level soldiers are not effectively channeled, then murderous intent and madness will accumulate again and again. If these soldiers can make a breakthrough in their martial arts and suppress their own minds with the powerful gods of martial arts, it would be fine, but the vast majority of soldiers cannot do this, then they are likely to suddenly go crazy and indiscriminately attack everything around them.

He looked up in surprise, "Can this also cure madness?!"

Dong Xingshu remained expressionless, "The principle should be the same, but the specific situation can only be determined when you see the moon phase system."

Yuchi Pojun understood what Dong Xingshu meant and wanted to be the vanguard to see what the moon phase system that guy had made was like.

He sneered in his heart, and his face regained its calm expression, "Didn't he say in the memorial that he was not ready yet? There is no rush."

Then he continued to read the second part of the memorial, which mainly contained some ideas about the moon phase system. The most important idea was that after the last battle of the Tianjing Soldiers' Tomb, Zhou Tieyi was very dissatisfied and worried about the situation of the evil gods controlling his dreams.

Therefore, the moon phase system can not only guide people's spirits, but also limit the erosion of the Taixu Illusion Realm on the dreams of ordinary people. Of course, on this point, he said that this is just a prototype and conception, and he and the Mohist leader have not yet reached the stage of proof.

However, he felt that this great news should be told to the Emperor of Daxia, and at the same time told to the people of Tianjing through the Tianjing News, in order to weaken the influence of the tyranny caused by the last battle of Bingzhong by the evil god.

After reading Zhou Tieyi's entire memorial, I found that it did not discuss his "heresies" but only discussed the facts. Moreover, the publication of the Moon Phase System in the Tianjing News would indeed help Daxia to demonstrate its national prestige and weaken the subsequent impact of the Battle of the Divine Soldiers' Tomb. It could even strike at those wavering guys in the Taixu Illusion and make them abandon darkness and join the light as soon as possible.

good thing.

Apart from making the Emperor of Daxia and the gods want to kill Zhou Tieyi, it is not an exaggeration to describe this memorial as beneficial to the country and the people.

This is also Zhou Tieyi's consistent style in his memorials.

Whether it is newspapers, the God-Slaying Bureau, the Railway Chamber of Commerce, the Yin Soldiers patrolling the capital, or even the current moon phase system.

If these memorials were written by someone else, the Three Courts would definitely think that this person is selfless, impartial and serves the people impartially, and is a loyal minister to the world.

But Zhou Tieyi wrote it...

They have suffered too much from Zhou Tieyi, so even if it is a good thing, they will look at it again and again, trying to find out its hidden meaning.

After reading it, Yuchi Pojun handed it to Qingkong Gui, muttering to himself, "Why did he do this?"

Wouldn't it be better to wait until this moon phase system is finished before bringing it out?

Qingkong Gui quickly finished reading it, put it down and thought for a while, then said, "He is expressing his dissatisfaction with the Newspaper Department, so he deliberately used this method to show that he is upright. Are we judging him by our own standards?"

At this point, all three officials showed embarrassment on their faces.

Yuchi Pojun said angrily, "He must have other plans. I believe he is good for the country and the people, but I don't believe he is a gentleman!"

The memorial was returned to Dong Xingshu's desk. Dong Xingshu looked at the memorial in front of him and said, "Let's discuss the matter at hand."

Dong Xingshu wrote on the memorial.

"This is a good strategy. It should be published in newspapers and advertised to the people of the world to combat the evil gods and their tyranny."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

·······
In the Xuanfa Hall, the eunuch in charge of the seal was reading the memorials sent by the three ministries. Suddenly, he picked up one of the memorials and read the title at the beginning of the memorial.

Amidst the curling green smoke, the Great Xia Emperor, who had been sitting quietly, opened his eyes and looked at the eunuch who held the seal, and at the memorial in the eunuch's hand.

The eunuch Xue Minghao, who held the seal, paused.

The Great Xia Emperor said in a cold voice, "Continue reading."

After Xue Minghao finished reading the entire memorial, he and the Emperor of Daxia were silent for a moment.

"It's a good memorial."

The Great Xia Emperor stood up, his Taoist robe with the Blue Sky and White Crane flapping its smoke, and slowly walked down the steps, walked to Xue Minghao, and picked up the memorial.

Although he said it was a good memorial, there was no joy on his face.

Just like when the Empress said that Mei Qingchen’s memorial was a good one.

Then the Great Xia Emperor looked towards the direction of Mo City with a serious look and remained silent for a long time.

The moon phase system in this memorial itself is definitely a good thing for Daxia, but not necessarily for him. He needs to consider whether this first-rank Mohist master will have the opportunity to become a saint because of it.

Is this Zhou Tieyi expressing his compliance with the resolution of the Tianjing Newspaper Bureau?
Or is it a demonstration by the Mohist masters?
His Majesty the Great Xia was wondering what kind of mentality Zhou Tieyi and Tian Fu had when they wrote this memorial.

No. If he was Tian's father, he would definitely be able to keep the moon phase system secret for as long as possible, and it would be best to wait until he became a saint before taking it out.

Thinking of this, even Emperor Daxia himself laughed at himself.

How wonderful it would be if the holy path could be achieved silently.

This matter cannot be concealed, nor does it need to be concealed, so they brought it out. They want the world to know that they are doing something that benefits the country and the people.

His Majesty the Great Xia had a solemn look in his eyes.

This is the most difficult part.

He retracted his gaze, looked at Xue Minghao, and asked, "Do you think Father Tian has a chance to become a saint with this moon phase system?"

He did not ask Zhou Tieyi, because even if the moon phase system is the basis for becoming a saint, between Zhou Tieyi and Tian's father, it should be Tian's father who has the chance to become a saint.

Xue Minghao's mouth was dry, he knew what his master cared about most.

Without waiting for Xue Minghao to answer, the Great Xia Emperor sneered, walked up the steps with his hands behind his back, and returned to the cushion surrounded by clouds and mist. Then he sat cross-legged and chanted softly, "Learning increases day by day, practicing the Dao decreases day by day, decreasing and decreasing again, until you reach inaction, inaction and yet you can do everything. How can the holy Dao be achieved so easily? Correct."

Then he continued, "Since this is a matter related to the Newspaper Department, let's send it to Ke Anran first and let him take a look."

After saying that, he closed his eyes again.

The surrounding was filled with clouds and mist, and the fallen aura of the Great Xia Emperor began to rise again little by little. He was the master of Great Xia, and the stronger Great Xia was, the stronger he would naturally be. He had passed the stage of loss and was now in the stage of inaction, so his tolerance for Zhou Tieyi was actually much higher than people in the world imagined, because the faster Zhou Tieyi was, the faster he would be.

Newspaper Department Office.

Ke in the main hall received the memorial from the palace dejectedly. He opened it and read the contents of Zhou Tieyi's memorial, and then read the comments of the three officials. Finally, he got the approval of the emperor. He seriously thought about everyone's attitude towards the whole matter.

Finally, he looked at the word "准" written in red ink, thought for a moment, then closed the memorial sadly and handed it to the clerk beside him, "Make a copy and give it to Hu Wenlang, the editor-in-chief of Tianjing Newspaper, to allow it to be published in the next newspaper."

Then he looked at Yujing Mountain not far away and thought to himself.

Now His Majesty has reached the stage of establishing the Taoist orthodoxy.

Naturally, he most hoped that the Taoist tradition chosen by the Emperor of Great Xia would be his own "The Strategy of the Three Elements of Heaven, Sage and People", but the Emperor's mind was unpredictable. As the ruler of Great Xia, the Emperor of Great Xia would be scrutinized more and more closely, and he needed to make more preparations.

······
Chongshan Prefecture.

It is close to the Shiwan Mountains in the south and is surrounded by mountains. The terrain is more closed than the Taihang Mountains. It is also the fief of King Zhao.

During the time when the five dynasties of the north and south were at war, Taizu of Great Xia formed a coalition and signed an alliance with the Zhao clan of the State of Zhao, which was the descendants of the Qing Emperor, to quell the chaos between the north and the south and unify the world. Afterwards, Taizu of Great Xia did not violate the alliance and still recognized the ancestral temple of Zhao. He only moved the fiefdom of Zhao from the north to the south and settled it in Chongshan Prefecture, which was closest to the Ten Thousand Mountains and had the most evil spirits and witchcraft rebellions.

Over the past three hundred years, the Zhao family has always been law-abiding and has served as a barrier to protect Daxia from the beast tides in the Shiwan Mountains many times.

In a palace, Zhao Qinxin, who was wearing princess clothes, put down the news she had received from Tianjing and said to the maid next to her, "I want to rest for a while."

"Yes, county lord."

The personal maid bowed and left, standing guard outside the hall to prevent others from entering.

Zhao Qinxin whispered the news she had just received, "Moon Phase System."

As she spoke, she sat down on the soft chair and closed her eyes, as if dozing off, while her mind passed through the illusory surface and entered the illusory world of Taixu.

Through the Taixu Illusionary Mirror, Zhao Qinxin contacted several people given by the family. In a rented room in the market, several people who were also shrouded in fog did not perform extra courtesy to Zhao Qinxin, but talked about the matter at hand, "In today's transaction, a large number of Taixu Illusionary Coins were sold."

Zhao Qinxin nodded slightly. Although their Zhao family was noble, they were far away from the power center of Tianjing, so they knew about these things a little earlier than ordinary people.

And those holders of the Taixu Illusionary Surface around Tianjing knew the news no later than them.

"Pause."

Several people in the fog nodded in agreement.

Compared to the servants who were hesitating whether to accept the Taixuhuan coins, Zhao Qinxin was considering another thing: did the panda know about the moon phase system?

That's why he was sure that the price of Taixu Fantasy Coin would fall.

No.

Zhao Qinxin shook her head slightly. Although the two things were related, it was more of a coincidence. After she told her father about the acquisition of Taixu Huanbi, her father was also certain that Taixu Huanbi would fall in price in a short period of time, and then the high-level officials of Taixu Huanjing, that is, the high-level officials of Shinto, would take action and eventually raise the price of Taixu Huanbi, allowing them to make a profit in the middle.

The moon phase system is a variable in this. It foreshadows that the Taoism of the Mohist leader has changed, and there has been an unusual change in the sky over Mo City. However, this variable is now drastically affecting his own arrangements.

I can test him. Zhao Qinxin thought about it and sent a message to Zhou Tieyi on the other side through the Taixu illusory surface.

But after a while, she got a reply.

In the market town.

Zhao Qinxin saw Zhou Tieyi, who was shrouded in mist, on the other side. She asked, "Sir Panda, now that there has been a huge change in Tianjing, is our plan still the same as before?"

Zhou Tieyi sighed in a fake manner, "It is because of this change that I came to the Grand Illusionary Realm. I wanted to discuss this matter with Master Yueqin."

Zhao Qinxin nodded slightly. The moon phase system was published by Daxia in the "Tianjing News" with the purpose of striking a blow to the momentum of Shintoism. Judging from the large amount of Taixu Huanbi transactions today, this first step was very successful.

"So how do we do this?"

After thinking for a while, Zhou Tieyi said, "Continue."

"continue?"

Zhao Qinxin's voice rose slightly.

"Yes, continue. Although the changes in the moon phase system are beyond my expectations, they are also reasonable. Facing the temptation of the Shinto in Tianjing, it would be strange if Daxia did not make a corresponding counterattack. Coupled with the changes in Mocheng, everything actually has traces to follow, but we just didn't see the overall situation before."

"Then the price of the Taixuhuan Coin..."

Zhou Tieyi interrupted, "Do you think that the victory or defeat between Daxia and Shinto will be completely determined in the next six months because of the moon phase system?"

Zhao Qinxin shook her head slightly.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "So the Shinto will also have corresponding means to be used. We just need to use the Shinto means and sell the Taixuhuan Coin when its price rises. We don't need to care who wins or loses. As long as the two sides clash violently and the price of the Taixuhuan Coin fluctuates, it will be the best result for us. On the contrary, the Taixuhuan Coin that is stagnant is not worth our effort."
