Overgod Ascension

Dingzhou City.

Since Wu Zhi pacified Lingzhou and raided Xuzhou, he fell into the capital and was worshiped as the prime minister. After holding the emperor hostage to order the princes, the first thing he did was to write a letter saying that the capital was in ruins and could not be used as the capital, and asked the emperor to visit Dingzhou. The entire small imperial court was semi-forced to move to the Dingzhou base camp.

In the same year, the reign name was changed from Ping'an to Dading.

The emperor's reign name often has blessings and unique meanings. Some emperors only use one reign name throughout their lives, while some emperors change it several times a year. For example, auspicious events can be used as reasons to change the reign name.

The word 'Great Ding' used at this time naturally had the meaning of calming the world. In the eyes of other princes, Wu Fei's ambition was clearly revealed.

Unfortunately, even though they knew this, in the face of Wu Zhi's conspiracy and in order to compete for the rightful name, other feudal vassal towns still inevitably fell into the chaos of attacking each other, causing the first anti-Wu alliance to fall into pieces before it was even established.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Pheasant also rarely stopped fighting, recuperated, and quietly farmed to save money.

After all, after years of fighting, the potential of the entire Dingzhou has reached its limit. If it is pushed forward forcefully and the foundation is ignored, there is a risk that the hegemony will collapse.

Time flies. Due to the withdrawal of the largest vassal town of Wu Fei, although the entire world is still in turmoil, no large-scale war involving more than 100,000 people has occurred. It seems to have entered a relative period of peace, although everyone knows that at this time Calmness is just a matter of accumulating strength for the final victory over the world, but it might as well allow the people at the bottom to finally have some time to breathe, so that they will not be forced to death by the heavy life... Although they will still have to Continue to struggle in this war-torn world...

As the New Year of the fifth year of Dading was about to arrive, a awning boat slowly sailed into the small port outside Dingzhou City. A white-haired old scholar came down, looked at the busy pier, and couldn't help but sigh. : "It's just a small dock outside the city, but it's so prosperous. It turns out that there are quite a few tricks to appointing a king and governing the people!"

"Welcome teacher!"

On the pier, several Confucian students were already waiting: "I heard that the teacher is coming to give lectures. All the students in our college are overjoyed. They have already taken care of everything and are just waiting for the teacher to come!"

"good!"

This old Confucian named Huang Zong was a well-known Confucian of the Northern School of Confucianism. He once wrote books and established his doctrines, and his reputation in the Qing Dynasty spread far and wide. The imperial court invited him to serve as an official several times, but he was declined.

Being invited to give lectures now is indeed a grand event in the literary world for the Confucian scholars in Dingzhou City.

"This place is very nice, but the atmosphere of merchants and soldiers is too strong..."

After getting on the carriage and entering Dingzhou City, Huang Zong looked at the bustling scenes on both sides, as well as the young officers riding tall horses with bright armor, who frequently attracted the attention of many women. Huang Zong couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that he lacks literary talent!"

In troubled times, military strategists can protect the environment and the people, merchants can sell general merchandise, and even farmers can enrich their products and eliminate disasters.

Wu Fei started his career in the military, so he would not destroy his foundation. The families of the soldiers in the town enjoyed tax exemptions and exemptions, etc., and they worked hard to develop production. Within a few years, the whole territory was in great control, and there was no large-scale famine. Rich families are proud to be married to military officers.

However, in the eyes of some rigid Confucianists, this means that 'the world is declining and people's hearts are no longer ancient'.

Even though Huang Zong was more enlightened, he was still a pure Confucian at heart. He also felt that the literary style here was not strong, and he was afraid that there would be disaster in the future.

Of course, he would never say that at this time.

The Confucian elder stroked his beard and talked about another aspect: "On my way here, I saw a lot of farmland and country houses. Since the first year of Dading, the weather has been good in Dingzhou and Lingzhou. It seems that King Ding You are truly destined!”

"Yes, what the teacher said makes sense."

All the Confucian scholars agreed.

In ancient times, food production was a matter of life and death for a country.

Natural disasters lead to famine, which leads to refugees, and rebels emerge among the refugees, which further destroys the original agricultural production. Basically, the end of the dynasty is in such a vicious cycle.

As long as the people have enough food, clothing and clothing to live their lives, they actually don't care much about who the rulers above are.

In Dingzhou and Lingzhou, the crops have matured several times, and the warehouses have been filled with old grains. After the harvest, the people's hearts have stabilized - this is quite scary, and represents the stability of the foundation of rule. If this is the case in other places, then what happens next It is very possible to enter a period of divided but consolidated kings standing side by side, such as the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in Wu Ming's previous life.

Now that the Wu Pheasant family is acting like this alone, it is a sign that the Ming Lord is about to appear!

Although Wu Pheasant, the designated person for this omen, is a person who makes many Confucian scholars hysterical and want to jump.

"Sigh... Prince Ding is good at everything, but he is too courteous to warriors and merchants..."

Even though Huang Zong didn't want to mention it, other Confucian scholars also vomited bitterness: "We, the scholars, are the foundation of the country's governance. King Ding puts the cart before the horse, and even uses the examination method to pick and choose the good and the thin. It is simply insulting to the gentlemen..."

Before Wu Pheasant, not just anyone could become a scholar.

Those who can be called gentry must at least be landlords, otherwise they would not be able to support a part-time labor force for a long time and buy books to study hard.

At that time, as long as a scholar was successful in his studies and had a reputation in the countryside, he could be recommended to serve as an official. This also created a group of "talented people" who only knew how to show off and gain fame, but knew nothing about government affairs and only knew how to talk.

Now, Wu Zhi implements the examination method. On the one hand, it improves papermaking, printing and other technologies to expand the source of candidates. On the other hand, it adds more practical content to the examination content, so that the examination candidates are more like officials. Not directly becoming a landowner.

How could these original scholars endure this?

This dear friend is obviously one of those people who has lost his reputation and no longer wants to study hard for exams with those mud-legged people.

"Extraordinary people must do extraordinary things!"

Huang Zong was not very hostile to the examination method.

I even admire the practice that scholars cannot directly become officials after becoming officials, but must start step by step from grassroots officials: "Among Confucianists, there are also schools of thought such as 'emphasis on the people' and 'management of the world'. Officer, how can I be one of the parents?"

"On the contrary, I would like to meet this daughter of Prince Ding!"

At this time, the general trend of the world has gradually become clear, and Wu Pheasant has the best hope of taking over the world.

Once successful, there will inevitably be a situation where the empress comes to court.

What kind of turmoil will occur in the whole world at that time, and what laws the empress plans to use to govern the country, Huang Zong feels that he has the obligation to plead for the people and advise the king.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that all of this was not entirely the work of Wu Pheasant, but Wu Ming's.

…

Dingwangfu.

Although the imperial court has moved here, the emperor is theoretically the most respected, but the regulations of the royal palace are still far beyond the rules. If officials, soldiers, etc. are included, it is even more than the ordinary palace.

Wu Pheasant had no intention of restraining himself from this.

They are already preparing to usurp the throne. This small overstep is just a test of the waters.

If there really was any foolish young man who dared to jump out, the civil and military officials below would teach him how to be a new person in a matter of seconds without her having to do anything.

At this time, in the back garden.

Wu Ming was wearing a Xuansu Geyi with a simple bun on his head. He looked at the little figure being teased by several wet nurses with a smile.

In the flower hall, tea is boiled on a small stove. The spring water is boiling and white steam is rising. The tea leaves on the side are green in color and carry a delicate fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. It can be seen that it is not a high-quality tea, but a spiritual tea.

"The young master and the ladies are very lively. For breakfast today, the second young master had a bowl of yellow rice porridge and two jade steamed buns..."

The old woman waiting next to her said in a flattering tone.

"Oh? Really, that's good!"

Wu Ming opened his hands, and the two little guys who were running around in the hall rushed over: "Daddy...hug!"

"OK!"

He held one in each hand, feeling the slightly hot body temperature of the little person in his arms, and a long-lost emotion emerged in his heart.

‘No matter how I practice, I am still a human being after all! ’

If you are too forgetful of love, you may even forget your own existence in the end. Even if it lasts forever, what’s the point?

True eternity is great detachment, great freedom, and the ability to change with the times and not be burdened by it.

"Are you good Zhong'er?"

He asked with a smile, a fatherly look on his face.

It is not that he has done nothing over the years. At least, he has added many children to his back house.

The second son Wu Zhong was also born to Wu Fei, and there were several daughters born to Princess Duanrui and other concubines.

"Um?"

While Wu Ming was having fun playing with his children, an inexplicable feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Even with his determination, his expression could not help but change slightly at this time.

‘The evolution of that universe…is over? Is distraction coming back? ’

After discovering the coordinates of the steam universe in the main temple, even though he hesitated a little, he still sent out the distraction for the secret of Daluo.

Even now, I won't give up.

Although, after being distracted to that world, he was subjected to some vague calculations, and Wu Ming had to continue to follow up with the conspiracy, he still had some confidence in his own methods, even more so now.

After all, in order to prevent distraction and rebellion, I had planted many secret skills in the opponent's soul.

Unless the opponent's level has far exceeded your own, they should be restrained.

"You guys go down first and tell Ding'er that I won't be checking his homework today!"

Wu Ming waved his hand and dismissed the others, and the entire flower hall suddenly became quiet.

He touched his eyebrows, and his consciousness instantly sank into the main temple.

Boom!

Within the main temple, many halls roared together, ripples rolled inside, and the shadows of countless worlds vaguely emerged.

This incredible artifact composed of many caves and worlds was rejoicing at this moment, seeming to welcome the arrival of the Lord.
