"If you seek peace through struggle, you will survive peacefully, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will perish peacefully. Your words are really from a high position, and they can tell the true meaning of the world's situation in one sentence."
When Han Chen heard Chu Chen's words, he high-fived and his eyes were full of appreciation.
Chu Chen smiled, these words were not what he said.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I am just quoting what a late senior said and I don't dare to take credit."
"I see. It's a pity. That senior must have been a great man who had the world in mind and swallowed up mountains and rivers."
Chu Chen nodded heavily, quite proudly: "That's natural."
When Han Chen said this, he quickly looked at Chu Chen's surroundings and specifically asked Chu Chen to place a ban, and then said mysteriously:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, to tell you the truth, at first, the officials were hesitant about leaving the country. It was Mr. Ming Jing who strongly advocated the release and persuaded him many times, which led to the current situation."
Chu Chen was slightly startled.
At first, when Han Chen said that the Holy Emperor had summoned Mr. Ming Jing, he thought it was Emperor Lingwei who took the lead.
Unexpectedly, Han Chen's initial statement was based on Spring and Autumn's brushwork and beautifying rhetoric. The person who really promoted it was Mr. Ming Jing.
This surprised Chu Chen.
But after careful consideration, he figured out the key.
It's not that Emperor Lingwei didn't have a good strategic vision. He had ruled the Great Chang Dynasty for more than forty years, guarded the four directions, and governed the world in a decent manner. His vision and methods would not be ordinary people's.
It's not that Emperor Lingwei doesn't know the principle of "seeking peace through struggle, then peace will exist, and seeking peace through compromise, then peace will perish." It's just a simple example of the butt deciding the head.
In a few years, Emperor Lingwei will step down from his position as the Supreme Being and his achievements will be complete. Whether it is ascending to the upper world or entering the netherworld, finding a priesthood is not a problem and his future is limitless.
Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. They must be observed.
There are winners and losers in wars.
At the critical moment, Emperor Lingwei naturally did not want to cause trouble, and just wanted to survive for a few years. Anyway, the future affairs were not under his control.
He ascends to heaven and earth, and controls the floods in your world.
It has to be said that Emperor Lingwei's unwillingness to enter the border to fight was based on his own interests, so the hesitation is not surprising.
"Our official family is pretty good."
When Chu Chen saw no one around, he immediately smiled and said.
It was true that Emperor Lingwei was hesitant, but he was easily convinced by Mr. Ming Jing.
This proves from the side that Emperor Lingwei still puts the world first, worthy of his status as emperor and worthy of the expectations of the people.
He has selfish motives, but he also has the responsibilities that a supreme being in the world should have.
"That's true. My master is a little worried that the officials are not willing to send troops into the pass. This scene has happened a lot in the history of our dynasty. Many emperors worked hard to govern at the beginning of their rise to the top, but at the end of their term, they looked forward and backward and cherished their feathers."
Han Chen's face was full of joy:
"It is indeed not easy for an official to decisively send troops this time. He has also staked his own destiny this time, advancing and retreating together with the people of the world, and performing his duties until the last moment."
When the two of them talked to this point, Chu Chen was not a stupid person, and he immediately understood Han Chen's purpose of looking for him this time.
Recently, in addition to the phased end of the evil tidal natural disaster, the most important thing for the Celestial Court and Immortal Court is that the three-year performance evaluation period is coming again.
Three years ago, Chu Chen was still the counselor of the county governor. He performed well in the performance evaluation and was promoted to Yunlin County governor.
Unknowingly, three years have passed, and another round of performance appraisal for officials and immortal officials has come.
Next, a large number of officials and immortal officials in the Celestial Court will have their official positions and immortal positions changed, either promoted or demoted, which is quite lively.
Originally, Chu Chen was not interested in this performance appraisal.
There is no other reason. In the past three years, he has been promoted one after another.
First, he was promoted from the Duguan of Zhengqipin County to the dean of Guishensi Huanghaoyuan in Guangping County, Zheng6th rank. Not long ago, he was promoted to the dean of Taoist Academy of Congfifth rank.
This speed of promotion is the kind of promotion that involves flying with a sword, flying in the clouds, and soaring into the sky. Even the rich and powerful children from the great sect of the Immortal Sect with a profound background are envious of him.
Therefore, Chu Chen did not have any expectations for this performance appraisal and transfer.
If there are no special circumstances, Immortal Court will probably let him serve as the dean of the Taoist Academy again and will not transfer his position again.
"Fellow Daoist Han, are you planning to end your retreat and follow Mr. Mingjing out of seclusion and enter the wilderness of the southwest?"
Chu Chen knew that Mr. Mingjing, the crown prince, had a close relationship with Master Yulou, Han Chen, and Han Chen was naturally a die-hard "princeling".
If Han Chen ends his retreat, he will definitely follow Mr. Ming Jing.
"good!"
Han Chen showed a look of longing on his face:
"This year, I understood the great supernatural power of my life and refined the magic weapon. My supernatural power was just beginning to be realized. It was useless to work behind closed doors. It happened that the tide of evil was raging and the Celestial Empire wanted to send out large-scale troops to expand the territory. I just happened to follow Mr. Mingjing out to kill. Kill evil spirits and cultivate meritorious deeds."
After saying that, Han Chen showed a look of expectation on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you interested in being transferred to the wild land outside the pass?"
"go!"
Chu Chen said without thinking: "We monks, why should we cherish a battle, why should we be afraid of a battle!"
"Hahahaha~"
Han Chen laughed loudly and seemed to be quite happy: "Fellow Daoist Chu, you and I are indeed the same people. It's so refreshing. I knew you would agree to it."
Chu Chen was a little surprised to see Han Chen laughing. He accepted the invitation and agreed to go out together. Why was it strange that Han Chen laughed heartily?
"Fellow Daoist Han, why did you react like this?"
When Han Chen saw Chu Chen asking, he was quite emotional:
"Since last night, I have been inviting friends to go out. As a result, not many people accepted my invitation. Many people are used to living a comfortable life and are not willing to throw their lives and blood."
"Those people are called out by the Celestial Court. There is no way to avoid them. There are not many people who really take the initiative to ask for help."
"I have no intention of complaining about my friends and respect their choices. It's just a pity that there are fewer people who share the same path."
Chu Chen smiled, Han Chen was really a sweetheart.
In fact, what Han Chen said is also a shortcoming of the current Dachang Dynasty.
The Kyushu Barrier has protected countless people, and life in the Middle Earth is quite peaceful. Except for Longling Mountain in Qingzhou, which cannot fully control the mountains and old forests because it cannot enshrine the gods, which has led to a little more unrest in Qingzhou, most places are quite peaceful.
Even in Qingzhou, the situation is actually quite stable. The imperial court and the Immortal Court have the absolute upper hand. Although the demons exist, they are not opponents at all and have no influence.
Therefore, many people in the pass have lived in peace for too long, thinking that the world is peaceful and the world is at peace, and they have lost the blood and martial spirit of their ancestors.
Although Chu Chen joined the Taoist sect, he still had no less feelings for his family and country than his younger brother Peng Ju, who was well-read in poetry and books.
Taoist cultivators not only cultivate their own transcendence, but also help the world and save people.
Chu Chen practiced alchemy internally and cultivated talismans externally, not only to save himself but also to save others.
"Old Han, I'll sign up when I get back and apply to Xianting for transfer outside the customs."
"Da Shan, you and I can work together again in the future. You have a deep blessing. I will follow you to get some glory."
Chu Chen: "."
