Chapter 927 Humane Court
While Li Qi was guarding the alliance altar, the human side was also not idle.
At this moment, there were only a few people in the court of Chang'an.
The court, or... meeting, is an indispensable process of the human, and its main purpose is to strengthen communication.
Don't underestimate this.
The independence of the human is actually very strong. Everyone has different opinions, and even completely contradictory opinions. The only thing they have in common is to abide by the rules and the status of "people".
Humanity advocates the nobility of "people", so naturally, people must be independent. Even if there is only one person left, humanity is still that humanity, and will not lose the standard of being a human because of the loss of the collective.
Therefore, in this case, the human inside is not a monolithic block, and the former rebels also came from this.
In order to make up for this situation and prevent everyone from having something to talk about, meetings, that is, the appearance of "court" is indispensable.
However, because of the war, the court is empty, and only some people who are on duty in Chang'an are still here.
However, the three dukes and the emperor, these four unshakable first-rank officials are still in the court, so the standard of this meeting has not been lowered at all. The lowest participant is also the third-rank, all of them are noble ladies. Although many people are not here physically, they still leave some distractions to listen.
The discussion here can still be implemented and implemented.
"Hey, the means of Zhurong's lineage have been implemented, and the information of the cardinals of all realms has been sent out. The loss of the Imperial Academy is not small, so let's follow the original compensation method." At this time, a well-dressed old man said so.
He was indeed well-dressed. The other party wore a long gown, a golden crown and a jade hairpin. Although he was an old man, he had the spirit and demeanor of a young man and looked very energetic.
Everyone else looked at him.
At this time, a Confucian scholar in the room said, "Your methods are too cruel, and... it seems that I didn't agree with you to do this last time. You acted privately. Are there any rules?"
"We have autonomy during wartime. In the war zone that the Miscellaneous School is responsible for, we are free to take actions. It seems that the Confucian School has no control over it, right?" The old man smiled easily.
The Confucian scholar sighed and said nothing.
The old man in front of him, who looks clean, refreshing, approachable and kind, is the ancestor of the Miscellaneous School.
As the ancestor of the Miscellaneous School, although he looks refreshing, he actually does whatever he wants, whether it is a trick or a fair argument, he can do it at will.
Some people commented that the ancestor's methods of doing things are 'dirty and humble, but very clever and wise.'
The methods are dirty, the actions are cunning, there is no arrogance at all, and he is extremely pragmatic. Although there seem to be some very serious methods, there are always some shameful things mixed in.
But if you look closely, you will find that these methods, whether dirty or not, are always useful.
These means are always pushing the eclectic school forward, and their purpose of progress is actually the same as that of humanity as a whole, that is, the great cause of "replacing heaven with man".
What does "replacing heaven with man" mean?
In the eyes of humanity and witchcraft, this world has a "nature".
That is the ultimate nature of all reality, the essence and reason of independent existence from spirit and matter.
This ontology is what witches and shamans believe in as "nature". Nature is the object supported by witches and shamans, the essence and reason of everything.
And the goal of man is to replace the ontology of "nature".
Man exists as the ontology of the world, not the ontology of the world itself.
Is this world natural or human? There is a clear boundary between the two.
"The world of man" can be the ontology of man and epistemology, but it is not the ontology of the world.
The world exists for countless objective realities and connotations, and all this does not depend on the perspective of man.
This is what humanity wants to transform, that is: man exists as the ultimate ontology of the world.
After the ultimate goal of replacing heaven with human beings is completed, only human beings will be left in this world, and all unknowns will be eliminated. Human beings exist before all things as the absolute entity of all things.
At that time, human beings are Tao, Tao is human beings, nature is the embodiment of human beings, and non-human beings are the embodiment of nature.
What a grand goal, what a fascinating world.
In the face of such a great plan, it is normal for the eclectic school to use some despicable means.
The eclectic school sneers at the self-righteous nobleness of the Confucian school.
You don't even want to do this dirty and tiring work, and you still dare to say that you want to accomplish a great cause? Nonsense.
But the Confucian school doesn't think so. In the eyes of the Confucian school, even if you want to accomplish such a great cause, you should follow the rules. Otherwise... even if replacing heaven with human beings succeeds, the result is wrong.
The wrong process cannot lead to the right result.
If the procedure is unjust, the result will be unjust.
Even if the results obtained by the eclectic school and the Confucian school are the same in a sense, they are still different after all. The flowers planted by dirty hands are also dirty.
"Okay." At this time, the Humane Taiwei suddenly said, "Let's end the debate. I am also doing things in my own war zone, and I have not violated the rules."
The others also stopped arguing about this matter.
Since the Taiwei has spoken, there is no need to argue. You know, the Taiwei is the military chief of the entire Humane, second only to the Tiance General of the Human Emperor.
"In short, I have succeeded here, and the artificial human plan is also being steadily implemented. If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhurong lineage will be taken down soon. You should think about what to do next."
At this time, a famous family suddenly asked: "What about the demon? Li Qi is also a Zhurong lineage. Be careful that the demon will take action for him."
"As for the demon, I think there is no need to worry." At this time, a Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes and said so.
This Taoist priest wore a yellow robe, looked quite young, and carried a whisk.
As a Taoist priest, he can directly appear in the court, so you can imagine what position he is in.
"Why don't you worry?" The ancestor of the Miscellaneous Family asked.
"The Heavenly Demon resurrected the Dead Demon, and suffered great losses. The Desire Realm collapsed. The Light Buddha intercepted the Dead Demon in the past, and Amitabha used his body to suppress the Formless Realm to prevent him from continuing to show up, so the Demonic Path must be quiet for a while recently."
"The conflict between Huanglong and Taiyi has also erupted. Haotian is stalling, but the offensive of the True Dragon has stagnated a little. It only takes the Taiwei to personally guard the Human Dragon Battlefield, and it will be foolproof."
"So, if you want to deal with Zhurong's lineage, now is the best time. The Miscellaneous Family also thinks so, right? It's just that I need to make it clear, why bother." After the Taoist priest finished summarizing, he said sarcastically.
"Haha, there are some things that I can't say. Otherwise, if someone asks me, how do I know? Then how do I answer? Is it that I am colluding with the Demonic Path?" The ancestor of the Miscellaneous Family laughed heartily, not caring at all.
This made the Confucianists and Legalists next to him look a little unhappy.
However, by now, everyone is almost used to it, so they didn't say anything.
Others such as the famous scholars and the Yin-Yang scholars don't matter. They actually preside over technical issues and don't pay much attention to the policy of governing the country.
They exist as a reserve for the world of humanity research. As for the exploration of the road, it is left to a few masters to do, which can be regarded as one of the divisions of labor in humanity.
But after this conversation, the emperor on the stage suddenly spoke.
He looked at the second-rank Confucianist and said, "What does the saint say?"
"The saint? Supreme, I'll ask later." The Confucian scholar replied.
As a second-rank Confucianist, only the first-rank emperor and the Confucian saint can make him behave like this.
He asked in a certain direction and then replied, "The saint said... three out and two in, how many days are left?"
Very simple words.
This is a classic problem that everyone will encounter in elementary school. Water enters a container at a certain speed and leaves at another speed. When will the container become empty?
This simple calculation method is crucial to humanity now.
Even if humanity is very strong and terrifying, it is still the same.
It is true that the human way has a unique official position mechanism, the cardinals of all realms, plus the human way of the hundred schools itself has a large number of people, and there are also some followers of the Taoist Xianshi School and the rational way and martial way, so that they can fight against three at the same time, against the witch way, the real dragon, and some high-level magic ways, but this is ultimately unsustainable.
The damage is increasing day by day.
So much that the human way has already launched the artificial human plan of the miscellaneous family, just to save the lives of those inhuman things, because these inhuman things at least have the ambition to improve themselves, and maybe they can hatch "people" from among them.
The artificial human plan of the miscellaneous family was criticized by several families, but it was finally implemented. It can be seen that the current situation is not very good for the human way.
After the human emperor heard this, behind him, a complicated mechanism similar to the "sundial" made a clanging sound and turned.
Many second-grade people suddenly looked serious, and even some people who were not here before instantly invested in the Dharma body.
All members of the human way are here.
For the first time ever, five first-rank officials gathered together.
One emperor, three dukes, and one saint.
Thirteen second-rank officials, including Shangshu Ling, Fuguo Dajiangjun, Shangzhuguo, Guanglu Dafu, and the scholars of various families who reached the second rank.
It was all because the "sundial" behind him moved a little.
The reason is very simple.
The emperor actually has a lifespan.
And this lifespan is actually one of the components of the sundial behind him.
Every time the sundial next to the Huabiao moves forward one grid, the emperor is one step closer to death.
"Okay, now, each family should have more room to act." The emperor said calmly without changing his face.
Just before he spoke, the world seemed to have changed in some subtle places, but it was hard to tell. Time was not rewritten, and events were not changed. It seemed that nothing happened.
But it was definitely not nothing.
"Supreme, this is not a long-term solution." At this time, the Confucian saint who had just appeared said so.
He was big and strong, and compared with the elegant scholar next to him, he was crude and ugly. Even wearing a smock could not hide his bulk, but instead highlighted his strength.
But he spoke very gently, facing the Emperor's indifferent proposal.
The Emperor smiled and said: "You all have your own way, and you all have your own concerns. You can't retreat even if you die. Since you can't retreat, then I am the only one who can retreat? Isn't it the right thing for you to do this when you are in this position?"
"I have already retreated from this step. Next, whether it is the front, or the following Zhurong lineage, or the direct lineage of Huanglong, or the Luofu Mountain lineage, please pay more attention." After the Human Emperor finished speaking, he stopped talking.
"Then, I will act according to the previous plan." The ancestor of the Miscellaneous Family smiled, as refreshing as ever.
The Confucian family did not speak, but it was obvious that they also acquiesced.
Other factions began to handle affairs in an orderly manner. What to do in what war zone, what support to ask for, these things As long as the general direction is finalized, then these specific affairs are actually not that difficult, and the calculation power of the third-rank people can arrange things very well.
The affairs of the court have basically been finalized.
The next thing is already a matter of course.
Everyone completed their own affairs.
The ancestor of the Miscellaneous Family, who achieved his goal, was still so cheerful, smiling and pulling the Taoist immortal out of the court and came to Chang'an Street.
He was full of smiles, but the second-rank immortal next to him was not in such a good mood, and seemed to be still entangled in many things.
"You said, Luofu Mountain has become like this this time, will the True Immortals take action?" said the ancestor of the Miscellaneous Family.
"I don't know whether the True Immortals will take action, but the matter of Luofu Mountain will not be delayed for long. If the Human Emperor masters the Sun and Moon, then the life span problem that has troubled many generations of Human Emperors should be solved. Humanity will not give in, right? Even if all other battlefields are lost, you must take down Chen Ji?" asked the immortal.
Neither of them answered the other's question, they were just asking questions.
However, the ancestor of the Miscellaneous Family seemed to want to break the deadlock, so he said: "Chen Ji must be won, but other battlefields cannot be given up. I guess the Human Emperor is going to leave Chen Ji to the next one."
"...You humans are really." The immortal shook his head, seeming to be a little emotional.
From the perspective of the Taoist sect, they will definitely not kill themselves for others.
The freedom that the Taoist sect pursues is the ultimate freedom of the individual, and the emphasis is on 'chickens and dogs hear each other, but never interact with each other until they die'.
That is, if possible, they hope that everyone can take care of themselves and not get involved in so many causal entanglements, which will cause everyone so much trouble.
However, the hermit school wants to achieve this through individual practice and cutting off contact with the outside world, that is, "transcendence from the world".
As for the visible school, they are ready to solve the problem once and for all.
