Chapter 1070 Daomen
"Your Majesty, Tai Shi Ling, Duke Lu, all quietly went to the Buddhist temple in the capital, and there were some others."
In the palace in the capital, the emperor patiently listened to the reports of his subordinates, memorizing every name in his mind, and then waved them to leave.
After the man retreated, a child slowly walked out from behind the dragon chair. It was Zhang Zhengyuan who had been detained by the emperor.
"It seems so." The emperor actually sat down on the stairs, an extremely complicated look flashed in his eyes.
The Duke of Lu was not very strong, and his bloodline was far inferior to that of the Yuchi family, but he was loyal enough to the Xiao family. The current Duke of Lu and I grew up wearing the same pair of trousers. They were both bastards, and they were both children who were not valued by the family. In the end, they all became family patriarchs.
In terms of feelings, the Duke of Lu was even deeper than the Duke of Yuchi and the Hong family who were loyal to him, but even such a confidant went to the Buddhist temple.
"Your Majesty seems a little sad?" Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the emperor's lonely expression and was a little curious.
He had only seen this emperor a few times and didn't know him well, but he knew from his aura that he was an iron-blooded emperor. How could such a person have such emotions?
It seems that the anthropomorphism of NPCs in this world is indeed very high, much higher than that of the Zhuxian world, and they are almost the same as real people.
"A person who has known me since childhood and has been with him day and night is the most trustworthy person. But one day he suddenly turned into a stranger. It was said that it was due to the influence of past life memories. Haha, what do you think of me?"
The emperor looked at the other person: "What if the brothers you grew up with, or the wife you've been with day and night, directly betrayed you one day because of awakening some past life memories?"
Zhang Zhengyuan opened his mouth and didn't know how to reply for a while. This kind of thing would never happen in Data City, but if you think about it, it is indeed terrifying enough.
Is there anything more terrifying than when someone close to you suddenly turns into someone else?
"No wonder it's difficult for mortals to resist the ancients. It's really true." The emperor said with a sense of frustration for the first time: "The army and ministers I have worked so hard to cultivate may one day no longer be my own."
This time, even King Xiang, who was in the underworld, fell silent.
The mechanism of the Buddhist Kingdom is too tricky, because you can't tell exactly who they have activated. It's okay for those in the capital, but what about those outside?
At this time, the ghost king's army is all in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River. Who knows when those people will quietly go to the Buddhist temple to worship?
And these people are hidden in the army. Which one do you dare to trust?
After all, anyone can stab you at a critical moment!
In the past, he had ridiculed the King of Qin, saying that his idea could not succeed. The betrayal of the aristocratic family later was an example, because no one would agree with his idea of coexistence of humans and demons.
And now
What's different about myself?
He had always insisted on the supremacy of the human race, but one day when he discovered that many of the human race were reincarnations of demons, he felt extremely complicated.
What about yourself?
Was he also a demon who had no pleasure in human flesh many lives ago?
Can those guys who have awakened their memories and wear human skin but are demons at heart still be considered human beings?
But if they don't count, how to clean it up?
For the first time, he suddenly felt that his faith was shaken.
"Is Your Majesty planning to admit defeat?" Zhang Zhengyuan suddenly said.
The emperor was stunned and frowned: "Why do you say that?"
"This is how your Majesty gives me the feeling at this time." Zhang Zhengyuan said with a smile: "What your Majesty said is indeed a bit scary, but it is only the influence of the power of the Buddhist Kingdom. If the Buddhist Kingdom disappears, won't there be no such things in the future?"
"There is no such thing anymore?" The emperor sneered: "Are you deceiving yourself and others? Forgetting the past and present life?"
"It should have been forgotten." Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the other party in confusion: "Your Majesty has never been to Jiangnan, right? Public reincarnation has been implemented there for a long time. Many soldiers died in battle, and their memories must be erased when they are reincarnated in the next life. All people also know about reincarnation. This kind of thing does not prevent them from still maintaining their feelings as parents towards their newborn children, because the past life is the past life and this life is this life! "
The emperor looked at the other party coldly after hearing this: "What about you? If someone is reincarnated and becomes your child, will you treat him as before?"
"If you don't know, of course you should treat him as before." Zhang Zhengyuan said with a smile: "Everything in this world is like this. If you understand too much, no one will live a good life. The child has no memory of the past life. I treat me like a parent. Why can't I treat him like my own child? In this life, he is my child. What happened to him in his previous life? "
"What your Majesty should be worried about is the protection of the reincarnation system. It ensures that people in reincarnation will not awaken from their previous lives. This is the key. What the Buddhist country does is an act of chaos. Such a force should be extinct!"
The emperor then looked at the other person seriously and carefully, and finally laughed: "Your temperament is quite similar to mine."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
"You're right!" The emperor became more energetic and stood up: "If we can control reincarnation, everything in the world can be reincarnated in our human race, and the sins of the past life can be eliminated, and people in this life will be the same as in the past life. It doesn’t matter, the current chaos is all caused by the Buddha Kingdom. As long as it is extinct, nothing like this will happen again in the future!”
"The question is how to eliminate it?" A cold female voice came from outside.
"Sister Imperial?" The emperor stood up and laughed when he looked at the woman who was coming from the dusty world: "Why are you back?"
"It's a good thing you came back at this time, otherwise I wouldn't have seen how decadent and embarrassing you are!" the woman sneered.
The emperor's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment.
"Tell me." The woman looked at Zhang Zhengyuan: "Since just now, you have been tempting His Majesty to become an enemy of the Buddhist Kingdom. What is your strategy?"
The emperor then looked at Zhang Zhengyuan. He had just been influenced by him and came out of his decadence, but he also ignored one point, that is, he did not necessarily have to be an enemy of the Buddhist country, and could even cooperate, right?
Although I had planned those ancient times, this kind of thing was not a big deal in the eyes of those big forces, as long as there was still value for cooperation.
"It is impossible for Your Majesty to conspire with the Buddhist country. This is an ideological issue."
"Ideology?"
"Ahem, I mean philosophy." Zhang Zhengyuan coughed lightly: "And what your Majesty betrayed before was the Shenwu Guild. Behind the Shenwu Guild is the Buddhist Kingdom. Relatively speaking, cooperating with the Buddhist Kingdom is the most unreasonable."
"Then you mean to cooperate with that thing in the sky?" The woman pointed to the sky. The dazzling golden ladder looked like it should be able to compete with the Buddha Kingdom.
"That side cannot cooperate." Zhang Zhengyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Among the major forces, that side is the one that least needs mortal forces!"
"Who else?"
"Daomen!"
"Daomen?"
"The three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon are mutually reinforcing and inimical to each other," Zhang Zhengyuan said quietly, "Taoism and Buddhism have the most conflicting ideas. Buddhism focuses on the afterlife, while Taoism focuses on this life!!"
