Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1260
Chapter 1260 His Intentions Had Been Decided!
Jiang Feng’s words, “Forget the Hundred Schools, Supreme Confucianism and Taoism”, immediately made Jiang Xuanhong and the others understand what it meant to truly “die without shocking words.”
However, Jiang Xuanhong and the others were even more shocked by Jiang Feng’s boldness when Jiang Feng went a little deeper and said, “Forget the Hundred Schools and Supreme Confucianism and Taoism.”
What was Jiang Feng’s plan like?
First, all the academies of literature in the Heavenly Dynasty were not allowed to teach any other doctrines from now on, and all the academy students were only allowed to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism;
Second, the content of the Grand Examination of Heaven and Man was only set within the scope of Confucianism;
Thirdly, the government refused to recognize the status of the sages other than Confucianism and Taoism;
Fourth, all the laws of the Heavenly Dynasty were modified according to the central thought of Confucianism, and all the legalists, Yin-Yang, Za-Jia, and Mo Clans were abolished;
Fifth, the so-called Confucianism must also be unified. The nine major schools of Confucianism were abolished. After that, Confucianism, apart from “Wen Sheng Wu De” written by Kong Qiuni, was only allowed to take the ideas of “Da Da”, “Zhong Yong”, “Mencius” and other books as the standard.
If these five rules were really implemented, then it could be foreseen that all the scholars of the Heavenly Dynasty would have to join the Confucian Sect in the future.
As for Jiang Feng, the Sect Leader of Confucianism, he could basically be said to be a Sovereign King.
Of course, Jiang Feng’s suggestion was not superficial in order to fight for power and profit.
After all, Jiang Xuanhong’s only son was Jiang Feng. If Jiang Feng really wanted to control the world, Jiang Xuanhong would probably have to wake up from his dreams.
Aside from the Hundred Clans, there were many advantages and disadvantages of exclusively respecting Confucianism and Taoism.
The disadvantages were obvious. First, it would definitely cause the discontent of the Hundred Saints and disciples of the various sects. At that time, it might even cause chaos in the world.
Second, most of the generals of the Chinese officials in the dynasty also followed the various schools of thought, and this action would inevitably cause the government and the public to tremble.
Third, if the imperial court were to tremble, the Desolate race and the Aquatic race might take advantage of the situation to rob them. If one was careless in dealing with it, it would probably shake the country’s constitution.
However, after Jiang Xuanhong’s initial shock had passed, he began to carefully consider Jiang Feng’s plan.
Jiang Xuanhong had no choice but to admit that the benefits of rejecting the Hundred Clans’ exclusive respect for Confucianism and Taoism were clearly greater than the disadvantages.
The first benefit is the concentration of power.
What is Confucianism?
Grand Unity, Monarchs, Officials, and Fathers.
I believe everyone understands what this father and son mean, but this “grand unification” needs to be explained in detail.
Unification meant that all the power in the world was controlled by a monarch alone. In fact, Kong Qiuni once said that “the rites and music were conquered by the Son of Heaven,” so in Kong Qiuni’s eyes. Emperor Wen should not only have the power of “ritual music”, but also the power of “conquest”.
If everyone in the Heavenly Dynasty thought so, then Jiang Xuanhong’s power would undoubtedly be much more concentrated.
However, the second advantage was that in the battle between monarchy and sainthood, the monarchy would have a greater chance than sainthood for the first time.
In the Celestial Dynasty, although Sheng Meng specifically forbade saints from meddling in the affairs of the secular world.
However, the truth was that the words of a sage often affected the operation of many secular worlds.
At this time, it was very difficult for a monarch to carry out a decree. It was often because of the influence of a sage that a monarch’s decree would die young.
For example, every time the Desolate race invaded the border, the Martial Sage ordered them to prepare to take advantage of the victory to chase after them.
In the end, there would be disciples of the Mo Clan petitioning outside the Martial Sacred Palace, hoping that the Martial Sage would take back his orders and not recklessly use saber weapons.
What was the reason?
It was all because Mo Sheng’s proposition was non-offensive, that was, he was opposed to war.
Moreover, there were many contradictions between different academics. Take Confucianism for example, it emphasized “the Emperor of Heaven and Earth and his personal master.” Outside the world, Emperor Wen was the largest.
However, the Mo Clan stresses universal love, which is the clear-cut opposition to the Confucian concept of hierarchy.
In addition, the Mo Clan also paid attention to non-fate, that is, denying the Heavenly Fate, so the Heavens were nothing to the Mo Clan.
As a Emperor Wen, Jiang Xuanhong had spent all these years trying to reconcile the contradictions between different schools of thought.
Moreover, it could be seen from the last time he was at the Freedom Palace Dispel Dojo that the Sage did not take Emperor Wen seriously at all.
In other words, in the eyes of the sages, the monarchy was not worth mentioning at all.
As for the third advantage, that was Jiang Feng’s original intention. That was to weaken Sheng Meng’s influence and influence, and expand the power of Confucianism and monarchy.
Only then would Jiang Feng and the others have the strength to fight against Four Great Void Clans and Shenge Civilization when the Sea of Worries faded away and the World of Struggle truly began.
Ignoring the Hundred Clans, Jiang Xuanhong had already understood the advantages and disadvantages of the Supreme Confucianism and Taoism in a short while.
Jiang Xuanhong looked at Jiang Feng and asked, “Feng’er, have you thought it through? Are you really determined to do this?”
“Think about it clearly. As long as you and another important person nod, we will do it.” Jiang Feng said firmly.
“Another important person?” Jiang Xuanhong thought for a moment and instantly understood, “I understand. You’re referring to your Martial Sacred War Uncle. Don’t worry, as long as I decide to do this, your Uncle Zhan will definitely help us.”
“That’s enough. As long as you and Uncle Zhan agree, then this matter will undoubtedly succeed.” Jiang Feng was filled with confidence.
“It will undoubtedly succeed?” Jiang Xuanhong frowned slightly. He smiled faintly and asked Jiang Feng, “What if the disciples of the various schools cause trouble?”
“Kill!” Jiang Feng replied straightforwardly.
Jiang Xuanhong pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, “What about the troubles caused by the Hundred Saints?”
“What about civil and military officials causing trouble?”
“Kill!”
“What about the Hundred Saints?”
“Kill!”
Jiang Feng said “kill” three times in a row, one more than the other.
Jiang Xuanhong couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you worried that we’ll lose our reputation for benevolence and righteousness if we commit so many killings? Also … what if we can’t kill them?”
Jiang Xuanhong’s worries were reasonable. After all, “benevolence” was the core of Confucianism.
Jiang Feng had killed so many people for the sole sake of Confucianism and Taoism. This was clearly inconsistent with the Dao of Benevolence.
However, Jiang Feng didn’t seem to be worried at all. A bad smile appeared on his face and he said, “It’s Uncle Zhan who killed him anyway. What does it have to do with me if he goes back and criticizes him inhumanely?”
“You …” Jiang Xuanhong was stunned. He was stunned for a while before muttering, “You’re too shameless.”
“There’s nothing I can do. Like father, like son.”
As soon as Jiang Feng said those words, Cao Liang, Shi Changgong, and Qian Yinglou couldn’t help but laugh and spit out saliva.
Jiang Feng glanced at the three of them and said, “You don’t have to worry about not being able to kill them. If you can’t kill them, you can hide in this battleship. Anyway, judging from the current situation, as long as we are inside this battleship, we will be invincible.”
After Jiang Xuanhong heard all of Jiang Feng’s answers, he was certain that Jiang Feng did not suddenly come up with the idea of “Forget the Hundred Clans and Exclusively Respect Confucianism and Taoism”.
Clearly, Jiang Feng had already thought through all the consequences and risks.
Since that was the case, Jiang Xuanhong no longer needed to hesitate.
Jiang Xuanhong nodded, “Alright, Feng’er, Father will accompany you to go crazy this time. Let’s go, we will immediately return to Tiandu. We will discuss this matter with your Uncle Zhan first, and he agreed that Father will immediately inform the world!”
“Alright, let’s go.” Jiang Feng took out the Sage Mask and put it on with the Thousand Illusions Mask.
The Xuangan Manor itself was not far from the Heavenly Capital. Jiang Feng and the others hurried to the Heavenly Capital quickly. Two days and one night later, the five of them entered the Heavenly Capital together.
Perhaps many people would find it strange that Jiang Feng’s current strength was no weaker than the Dao Saint Sovereign’s, so why couldn’t Jiang Feng use the Great Shift Technique?
The reason was actually very simple, because Jiang Feng had yet to produce the power of his divine sense.
The Great Shift Technique was actually a technique that used one’s divine sense to determine the location, and then used one’s own strength to create a spatial jump to arrive at one’s destination instantly.
Before Jiang Feng could use his divine sense, he would not be able to use the Great Transference Technique.
Jiang Feng and the others returned to the Heavenly Capital without the slightest delay. Jiang Xuanhong directly took Jiang Feng to the Martial Sacred Palace.
The Martial Sacred Palace was also in the Heavenly Capital, not far from the Wen Imperial Palace.
However, the decoration style of the Martial Sacred Palace was completely different from that of the Wen Imperial Palace. If the Wen Imperial Palace was compared to the fusion of the Violet Forbidden Imperial City and the Jiangnan Water Village, then the Martial Sacred Palace should be the fusion of the military fortress and the Unbreakable Iron City.
Jiang Feng followed Jiang Xuanhong inside the Martial Sacred Palace. The Martial Sacred Palace not only had outer city walls, city walls, military road, arrow tower, observation tower, beacon tower, and other designs, but it also incorporated various elements such as formations, restrictions, mechanisms, and so on.
Jiang Feng guessed that the Martial Sacred Palace’s defensive design was not an offense from an outsider. Even if Shenge Civilization’s divine song warriors personally attacked, without the support of large-scale destructive weapons. Without ten times the strength of the Martial Sacred Palace, it was basically impossible to take down the Martial Sacred Palace.
Jiang Feng followed Jiang Xuanhong around seven times. Finally, Jiang Xuanhong brought him into a school field. He pointed at a man dancing a gun on the school field and said, “Look, that’s you, Uncle Zhan.”
The school grounds were very big, and Jiang Feng looked at Zhan Xuanjia from afar.
Ooh! What a heroic man’s pouch.
Zhan Xuanjia was nearly two meters tall, and his figure was like a mountain. At this moment, he was wearing a pair of trousers, his upper body revealing bronze skin. Under the sunlight, his skin shone as if it had been greased.
The most disappointing thing was the temperament of the Battle Profound Armor. His temperament was vigorous and heroic, like the hot summer sun. Under the thick eyebrows of a pair of blades, the tiger’s eyes were extraordinarily mighty, causing people to not dare to look directly at them.
He was dancing a spear in the middle of the school grounds. The spear’s body was like a wild dragon as it swam out of the sea, and when it pierced out, it was like a rain of sand, shooting ten thousand shots.
Jiang Xuanhong stood at the side and looked at it before saying, “Old man, stop practicing. My son, Jiang Feng, has come to see you.”
Swoosh!
Zhan Xuanjia turned his head and looked at Jiang Feng like a sharp sword.
Jiang Feng chuckled and took two steps towards Zhan Xuanjia.
Zhan Xuanjia smiled in admiration when he saw Jiang Feng’s actions. He waved his left hand and a spear flew towards Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng reached out and firmly held the spear. He looked at Zhan Xuanjia and said, “Uncle Zhan, Feng’er has offended me!”
