Chapter 771: The Most Important Affairs of the Country Are Sacrifice and War

The more anyone or any force pays in the early stage, and the more they show that they don't care, the greater the other party may seek, and the more difficult it is to accept.

The Wushen Cult took the initiative to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, and the price they paid was not small. Not to mention what they paid to get Pei Xuanjing's recognition, and not counting the help of Wu Shijiu in breaking through the ninth level of the spiritual realm, the payment to the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Houcong alone was extremely expensive.

They gave Zhu Houcong the cultivation methods, magical skills, and cultivation experience notes of the ancient human leader collected by the Wushen Cult. The cultivation resources, especially the top-level divine weapon Xuanyuan Sword, which is a treasure of humanity, are all incalculable.

In addition to the gifts given to the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty's cabinet ministers, civil and military nobles, and royal family children have also received a lot of funding from the Wushen Cult during the years of cooperation, and obtained many of the Wushen Cult's cultivation methods and resources.

There are also soldiers and officers established in the Ming Dynasty. Their training has also been trained by the Wushen Cult. In particular, the Wushen Cult took out the methods of training soldiers in ancient times to greatly increase the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that in all aspects, in the past few decades, the Wushen Cult has provided a lot of financial support to the Ming Dynasty, and then the two have been closely combined, which means that the Wushen Cult has a considerable influence on the Ming Dynasty.

It is difficult to eat someone's mouth and be short-handed, especially when the other party has a strong force as a guarantee, the Ming Dynasty cannot be completely eaten, and turn its face and turn its face and turn its face and turn its face and deny it.

To put it bluntly, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty who have a great liking for the Wushen Cult. If the two sides really turn their faces, there will really be many "smart people" who will make some special moves.

"Restoring the position of the chief priest of the Wusi lineage seems to be nothing, as long as the Lord of the Divine Dynasty issues a divine decree. But in fact, it is not so. If I really issue a decree, it will inevitably cause an uproar." Zhu Houcong said calmly.

The major affairs of the country are sacrifice and war. This sacrifice represents etiquette, and in the years since the Wushen Cult withdrew, it is the Confucian school that is in charge of etiquette. They have grown to coexist with the dynasty, and even when the dynasty is destroyed, the Confucian school still exists.

Even though Zhu Houcong is supreme in the Ming Dynasty, he has the power to confer titles on the ministers as he holds the Golden Book and Jade Book, but the operation of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not something he can operate alone. Without the support of the ministers, the Ming Dynasty cannot operate at all. The two sides are mutually dependent.

Now that the leader of the Wushen Cult has made this request, it is nothing for Zhu Houcong, but it is a big taboo for the Confucian school that is in charge of etiquette and law. Their authority has been eroded and weakened, which they cannot accept.

The sacrificial etiquette may seem insignificant, but this etiquette represents orthodoxy and the right to interpret and speak. The Confucian school will never give up this important right.

You must know that the Wushen Cult retired at the beginning, in addition to the fear and rejection of the Lords of the Divine Dynasty, it was also because of the emergence of the Confucian school. They were competing with the Wusi lineage for power and discourse, and relied on the support of the Lords of the Divine Dynasty to defeat the Wusi lineage and force the Wushen Cult to retire.

Although Zhu Houcong had never experienced the struggle between the two sides at the beginning, anyone who was not a fool knew that this was not a small fight. He did not want all this to happen again, especially with his Ming Dynasty as the battlefield.

However, if they don't agree, the Wushen Cult will never give up. The Wushen Cult has invested so much, which means they have enough planning and calculation. Now that the initial request has been rejected, the Wushen Cult will definitely be angry.

The Ming Dynasty has no way to face the anger of the Wushen Cult. Zhu Houcong can't resist if many powerful people take action. Whether Master Pei will take action or not, Mr. Wu next to him is close to him, but in the final analysis, he was born in the Wushen Cult and was promoted to a powerful person with the help of the Wushen Cult. So what position he will take at that time is intriguing. It's even good for the other party to be neutral.

"Your Majesty, do you take this matter too seriously?" Wu Shijiu said with a smile.

He didn't know what Zhu Houcong thought of him in his heart, but even if he knew, he would admit it. After all, he didn't belong to the Wushen Cult now, but the relationship between the two sides could not be completely separated, especially when he knew that the Wushen Cult had spared his betrayal and helped him to become a powerful person. If the two sides turned against each other, he would most likely be neutral.

However, although Wu Shijiu knew that it was not easy to restore the position of the chief priest of the Wusi lineage, it was not as difficult as the other party thought.

"Do you have any good ideas, sir?" Zhu Houcong looked at Wu Shijiu who was full of confidence and asked.

Wu Shijiu said leisurely: "Your Majesty is not the only one who has been trained by the resources of the Divine Religion over the years, so even if the Divine Religion has raised questions and requirements, it is naturally not for Your Majesty to bear it alone. Why not put this matter openly in the court and see how the dignitaries respond."

Some problems and some things are indeed very serious if they are left to one person to bear. If the pot is too big, one person cannot bear it.

But if one person cannot bear it, then you have to find someone, find more people to share it together, this is the best way.

"Sir, you are very talented, but I am confused." Zhu Houcong reacted immediately.

The benefits that the Wushen Cult offered were not only received by Zhu Houcong, but also by everyone in the Ming Dynasty. It is true that Zhu Houcong received the most, but he was the emperor and could act rogue, so when problems occurred, it was not necessary for Zhu Houcong to bear them alone, but those people also needed to shoulder them together.

You must know that although his Ming Dynasty was promoted to the Divine Dynasty, many regulations were still continued as before, and the cabinet handled many affairs. So now when encountering such things, it is natural to put them in the cabinet, without any problem.

So, there is no need to worry about it here, and you can put all these things in the court, and see how those ministers and ministers, civil officials and nobles view them. You must know that compared with yourself, many of them have more embarrassing identities, especially those Confucian disciples who have received benefits from the Wushen Cult. What will they do?

In this case, Zhu Houcong can completely withdraw himself and stay out of the situation temporarily, which can add an extra layer of insurance to this matter, so that the conflict between the two sides will not be so direct and there is a chance to ease it.
