Chapter 505: A New Era


With Emperor Wu capturing Ren Tianxing, the Chongyang War that shook the past and the present came to an end.This pinnacle duel involved the fourteen great masters of the world, and its impact was too far-reaching, directly changing the future pattern of the entire continent.At the beginning of the war, the new and old royal families of the Northern Tang Dynasty fought fiercely, the righteous army led by Ren Zhen captured Chang'an, and the empress Wu Qingyi was killed, marking the complete collapse of the Wutang Dynasty.A new era in the Northern Tang Dynasty began.In this process, Xiao Yeyu and Liao Rushen died in battle, Yan Yuan was seriously injured and fled, and the Vermilion Bird Array was destroyed, which meant that Chang'an's original defense system was broken, and this capital was no longer a forbidden place for great grandmasters.At the same time, Yan Yuan tore his face and became an enemy of the Northern Tang Dynasty, which meant breaking away from Confucianism.After this battle, the remnants of Wutang were all swept away.In the second half of the duel, the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Arakawa forces appeared, expanding the battle to the entire continent, pushing it to the climax, and causing a fierce impact on the future general trend of the world.On the side of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Xuan Bei and Changchun Zhenren defected and resolved the crisis for the new monarch of the Northern Tang Dynasty, which was tantamount to betraying the Southern Jin Dynasty.It is conceivable that after Emperor Wu returns to the dynasty, he will inevitably kill the Buddhists and Taoist Quanzhen factions.The original pattern of balancing Buddhism and Taoism was broken, and the Zhengyi faction was pushed to Taoist orthodoxy, and their glorious era seemed to be approaching.However, after the immortal real person was seriously injured and unconscious, and after overdrawing his luck and inviting out the True Martial Arts, this time he was destined to fall into the realm, and he could no longer be as lucky as before.Not only that, Fu Jiangliu will no longer be tolerated by Emperor Wu when he defects, and no matter what happens in the future, he will no longer be able to serve the Southern Jin Dynasty.And Cao Chunfeng was beaten tragically, and his injuries were also very serious, and there are still huge variables about what will happen to him in the future.As for Emperor Wu himself, although he successfully captured Ren Tianxing, he did not immediately get the antidote, and he was also injured, so it cannot be said that he had retired.What is certain is that before Ren Zhen opens the sword collection, he will definitely live in seclusion and no longer use his own martial arts.To sum up, the peak combat power of the Southern Jin Dynasty has all been frustrated, and it can be said that the prosperity has turned into decline, and the vitality has been greatly damaged.After this battle, they had to retreat and recuperate, and they could no longer use their skills for the time being.In addition, the Northern Expedition of the Great Army failed, the main force of the Middle Road was annihilated, and the Southern Jin Dynasty also suffered heavy losses militarily, and in a short period of time, it was unable to raise troops for the Northern Expedition.In this way, the two Koreas returned to the armistice period and restored precious peace.For the Northern Tang, this is certainly the most advantageous.The last truce between the two Koreas dates back to 16 years ago.At that time, affected by the melee attrition in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the overall strength of the south was not as good as that of the north, and it was in urgent need of recuperation, development of people's livelihood and economy, and narrowing the gap in national strength with the Northern Tang Dynasty.Therefore, the peace truce was beneficial to the Southern Jin Dynasty, and it gave Emperor Wu a chance to breathe, taking advantage of the strong and arrogant Northern Tang Dynasty and busy with infighting, quietly accumulating national strength and catching up with the pace of the Northern Tang Dynasty.This can explain why the two dynasties went to war this time, and the Southern Jin Dynasty firmly gained the upper hand.The empress woke up like a dream, and at this time she wanted to work hard, but it was too late, not only did she not succeed, but it intensified the internal contradictions and allowed the Southern Jin Dynasty to take advantage of the loophole.If it weren't for Ren Zhen's birth and turning the tide, the Northern Tang Dynasty would have perished sooner or later.The strength and weakness have changed, and now it has become the Northern Tang Dynasty.Like Emperor Wu back then, the little emperor Gao Pan also longed for a respite, a new coup d'état, and a rich country and a strong army.This is thanks to his senior brother Ren Zhen.Through the national war between the two dynasties, through this peak duel, Ren Zhen condensed the Northern Tang Dynasty Zhongliang, fought bloodily, and made the Southern Jin Dynasty lose its edge, and had to retract back to Jiangnan and continue to hibernate.In front of the sick tree, the spring of the Northern Tang Dynasty has finally come.On the tenth day of the first month of September, Xiao Gaopan worshiped his ancestors in Taiji Palace, preached the four seas, and officially ascended the throne as emperor.In the seventeenth year of Yuanwu, it was changed to the first year of Xiantian.Later, he was diligent and loved the people, shrewd and capable, and knew how to make good use of people, ruled the Qing Dynasty, swept away the decline of the Northern Tang Dynasty for many years, and created a very prosperous world, so he was praised as "the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty" by later generations.Of course, that's all for later.On the second day after his accession to the throne, the little emperor convened his ministers, listened to everyone's opinions, and discussed how to put things in order and eliminate the poison of the old Wu party, while trying to find ways to calm the situation in various states and counties to prevent further public mutiny.At the beginning of the court meeting, the ministers reached an agreement, and in view of the emperor's young age, they asked to worship the Marquis of Fuchui Water as the prime minister to assist the court.This advice was naturally in line with the little emperor's heart, so he retired from the court and personally drove to the Blowing Water House to visit Ren Zhen.Since the end of the decisive battle, when Ren Zhen returned home, he locked himself in the house in a daze and never went out again.Even at the enthronement ceremony of the new monarch, he said that he was sick and absent.He was covered in wounds, and his condition was indeed very serious, and he had to lie down on the couch to recuperate.But the more serious trauma is still in the heart.After many years, he recognized Ren Tianxing, and he watched his father being arrested, but he could not do anything but accept life and death.The one who understands his mood the most is not Begonia, but the little emperor.Since Gao Pan was born, he was raised and cared for by Ren Tianxing, and the relationship between the two is like that of father and son.When he heard the news that the old man was captured, the little guy cried and cried, and the picture moved everyone present.After seeing his senior brother, his eyes were red, and he asked Ren Zhen with tears in his eyes, what should he do to save the old man.Ren Zhen looked at the little emperor, and then realized that blind self-blame and chagrin are not the way, during the period of recuperation, the most important thing is to help his father fulfill his wish and assist this little junior brother to govern the Northern Tang Dynasty.Ren Zhen told Xiao Gaopan that he would no longer interfere in political affairs, treat him as a puppet, and all government decrees would be issued by him personally, and he should learn to govern the country.As for the auxiliary ministers, they have already been identified, and there are four in total.They are Wu Daosi, Yang Jing, Fan Dongliu, and Tang Yi.Although these four people are all less qualified, they are not respected ministers, and they will not be supported by the masses, but they have all been personally tested by Ren Zhen, and they are all outstanding in terms of character and courage, and they are enough to handle civil, military, and political affairs.What's more critical is that compared with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, these people are closer to Xiao Gaopan, have a smaller generation gap, and are easier to unite the front.Moreover, the young man is strong-blooded, has not been contaminated with the slippery atmosphere of officialdom, and has not been involved in party disputes, so he can be a pure minister and share the worries of the king.Since we want to adopt a new policy, of course, we must take drastic measures and forge ahead.Since this dialogue to establish the auxiliary ministers took place in the Blowing Water House, later generations called these four famous ministers the Blowing Water Party.This school of thought spread out, continued to develop and passed on, and controlled the politics of the Northern Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years.The word blowing water occupies too much weight in the history of the mainland.The little emperor readily agreed, and then asked the elder brother how to deal with the relationship between the dynasty and the various schools of cultivation.Ren Zhen had already thought it through and gave him eight words, a hundred flowers blooming, and learning from others.He was born in a socialist harmonious society in his previous life, so he naturally knew the importance of emancipating his mind, kept the 24-character values in mind, and would not pursue arbitrariness and arbitrariness like Wu Qingyi.He respects all schools of thought and is willing to give each genre a fair chance to compete.Because he understands that the troubled times give birth to a hundred schools, it does not mean that the hundred schools of thought are the culprits who provoked the troubled times, and he cannot use the turmoil in the world to deny the positive significance of the contention of a hundred schools.If it weren't for the Yin and Yang family, the Mo family, and the Bing family, I am afraid that the Northern Tang Dynasty would have died long ago.The addition of Buddhism and Quanzhen Taoism will surely inject a new vitality into the Northern Tang Dynasty and make the atmosphere of cultivating martial arts and strengthening the people more vigorous.He believed that his father, who was also a time-traveler, would certainly support his views.If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have brought the little guy into Qiuyu Mountain, mingled with the Hundred Schools Alliance, and asked him to recognize Li Mubai as his father-in-law.The little emperor nodded yes, excited by his enlightened assertions.Later, when Ren Zhen left the Northern Tang Dynasty, the emperor deeply missed this meeting, so he changed this blowing water residence into a school palace, imitating the Jixia School Palace in the Spring and Autumn Period, for the use of hundreds of wise men to exchange knowledge, and became a famous institution of higher learning through the ages.In front of him, the little emperor was excited, and asked Ren Zhen how to treat Confucianism.After all, a few days ago, Confucianism was still standing in the camp of the Wutang Dynasty, desperately guarding the palace.Ren Zhen told him that Confucianism is also one of the hundred schools, which is also of great significance for governing the country, and the Northern Tang Dynasty is inseparable from the Confucian way of loyalty and filial piety.In that case, there is no need to exterminate them and squeeze them out.With Soochow as a test site, the Confucian New School Reform had already begun, and they would soon spread.He believed that with the wisdom of the Confucian literati, they knew how to bring forth the new without the need for the imperial court to say anything, and took advantage of this wave to actively integrate into the new pattern of the Northern Tang Dynasty.As for the so-called Confucian Sage, Yan Yuan has already fled, and the progress of Mr.
