With the rapid development of Mingjiao, Yang Xiao has been very busy. Xie Hu has always been selfless in helping Mingjiao affairs, and the relationship is extremely close. He has always ignored that Xie Hu has only been helping Xie Xun. Without Xie Xun, Xie Xun Hu and Mingjiao have nothing to do with each other.
There are also other sects that only look at Xie Xun and ignore Mingjiao. Even within the Ming Cult, how many people only recognize Xie Xun and don't care about anything else.
When Xie Xun first came to Guangmingding, he began to cultivate the grassroots members of Mingjiao. In the process of conquering the world, these people charged forward and worked extremely hard. Now that the great event has been accomplished, they have become disciples of the Emperor. These people belong to Mingjiao. The feeling is far less than the recognition of Xie Xun.
Yang Xiao looked at Xie Xun. Perhaps Xie Xun had already thought about how to use Mingjiao and how to restrict Mingjiao from the beginning. His gang of gangsters really lacked political vision.
Yang Xiao thought clearly, but others were still confused.
Yang Xiao had to consider his current situation first. If you want to keep Mingjiao, you may have to lose this opportunity to be in the temple.
Among the Ming Cult, apart from Xie Xun, he had the highest status. When Xie Xun resigned, he would be the first in line to succeed. The problem is that once Xie Xun steps down as leader, the Ming Cult will no longer be a help to him, but a drag. His attitude towards the Ming Cult will no longer be one of use, but suppression.
Yang Xiao shuddered at the thought of being suppressed by someone like Xie Xun. Moreover, there will definitely be more people among the Ming Cult willing to follow Xie Xun, and a few will be willing to continue wallowing in the world.
Yang Xiao joined Mingjiao because he was fighting for power and profit in order to realize his ideals in life. He was not willing to give up his chance of success for the so-called "religious belief". Besides, even if he firmly wanted to keep Mingjiao, could he do so?
Yang Xiao figured out the key, made a prompt decision, stepped forward, and said: "Since the leader no longer intends to be the leader of the Mingjiao, and we don't have the energy to manage the Mingjiao anymore, I think it is better to let the Mingjiao disband. In today's world It has been decided that all the waste is waiting to be revitalized, and we all have to perform our duties, so there is no need for Mingjiao to exist."
Everyone looked at Yang Xiao in astonishment. Why did he say nothing about Mingjiao?
Zhou Dian blurted out: "Yang Zuoshi, without Mingjiao, we wouldn't be where we are today. How could we..."
Before he could finish speaking, Peng Yingyu pulled him hard and told him to shut up: "You have the lowest IQ, and you also talk the most."
Peng Yingyu also vaguely guessed Xie Xun's thoughts. Now that Yang Xiao said this, he also understood. Mingjiao is already a thing of the past. Besides, his ideal is to benefit the people, so it is obviously better to rely on Mingjiao than to rely on the court. He is not willing to sacrifice the opportunity in front of him for Mingjiao.
The others didn't speak. Although they didn't understand it, they knew there must be a reason why Yang Xiao said this.
Xie Xun said: "The Mingjiao does not belong to me alone. You can discuss the rest. There is one more thing I want to tell you."
Yang Xiao said: "Master, please speak."
Xie Xun said: "I said sincerely just now that I don't want to be the emperor. Not only do I want to step down as the leader of the religion, but I also won't be the emperor. I have worked hard for half my life for the Ming Cult and for the world. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. , I want to live for myself. I plan to let Wuji ascend the throne as the emperor, and I hope you can help me wholeheartedly."
Everyone was shocked, how many people turned against each other and committed inhumanity in order to become emperor, father and son, brothers. You are the undisputed emperor, and you just gave up? Life is full of flowers and trees, and what can better reflect one's own value than being an emperor? Little did they know that Xie Xun had experienced more than just one life.
Everyone couldn't understand Xie Xun, and they didn't know how to respond to his instructions.
At this time, Yang Xiao was even more certain that Xie Xun wanted to disband the Ming Cult.
Xie Xun is the leader of the Ming Cult, but his son Xie Wuji is not a member of the Ming Cult. Although he has been living in Guangmingding, there are very few people from the Ming Cult around him.
If the leader of the Ming Cult becomes the emperor, his group will naturally support him with all his strength and be convinced. But now that the leader no longer serves as the emperor, and his son who is not a member of the Ming Cult becomes the emperor, he is worried that his group will not accept it. After all, the leader The position is not hereditary.
Xie Xun waited until he said he wanted to disband the Mingjiao, and then he said he would let his son succeed him.
Yang Xiao felt that Xie Xun was a little too worried. In Mingjiao, being in a group can indeed increase the voice, but Xie Xun is not a soft-hearted person. As long as Xie Xun is here, no one will have any different intentions, and no one dares to have different intentions.
Xie Xun may not take the throne seriously, but he will never give up this opportunity to sneak into the court.
Yang Xiao said: "Master, don't worry, we will naturally do our best to assist the new emperor."
Xie Xun said: "Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. Everyone, please go down."
Everyone retreated and gathered around Yang Xiao to ask what was going on.
Yang Xiao didn't say much, but held a meeting for these people in the evening.
Yang Xiaodao: "Now the Mingjiao is too important for the leader. If those of us who are from the Mingjiao form a party for selfish purposes, it will inevitably affect his governance. Therefore, the Mingjiao has become an obstacle to him."
Everyone suddenly realized, and Fan Yao asked: "Then if he continues to be the leader, we will naturally follow his orders sincerely, so why should we disband the Ming Cult?"
Yang Xiao said: "He doesn't even want to be the emperor, so why would he want to continue to be the leader of the church? Besides, in the future, if Jiangshan's surname is Xie, can the leader of the Ming Cult continue to be surnamed Xie? If so, what does it matter whether it is dissolved or not? If If not, then it must be disbanded, or it will be broken up if not disbanded. Taking advantage of his current prestige and martial arts skills, we can disband the Mingjiao in one fell swoop and eliminate hidden dangers for future generations. We don’t need to feel sorry, we are all anti- The heroes of the Yuan Dynasty are no longer as generals and ministers as the Mingjiao. In these years, the power we have gained is not small at all. As a leader, he will not treat us badly. In the past, we worked for the Mingjiao, and now we will work for the court. , what’s the difference?”
Some people still can't get over it. This kind of imperial technique really makes these reckless heroes confused.
Zhou Dian said: "Then he wants to take advantage of the Ming Cult..."
Peng Yingyu interrupted Zhou Dian again and said: "Don't talk nonsense, what does it mean to use the Ming Cult? Without the leader, how could we people be here today? We should be grateful that the leader can lead us. With the leader's ability, without the Ming Cult, he would be Can't it succeed? If we really only use the Ming Cult, and now it's successful, wouldn't it be better to just kill us, why bother letting us be officials again? It's not like he can't do it with his martial arts. The leader just hopes that we won't fight anymore in the future. Under the banner of Mingjiao, we will be members of the imperial court and no longer members of Mingjiao. After decades have passed and we are all dead, no one will remember Mingjiao. What he wants to eliminate is the name Mingjiao, not the name Mingjiao. We people. But if we don’t know what is good and what is good, if we keep mentioning the Ming Cult even if nothing happens in the future, or even take credit for being members of the Ming Cult, it’s hard to say what the outcome will be. Look at Shaolin, their biggest crime is not colluding with the court , but it has too much influence among the people, which is unbearable for every superior. If given the opportunity, he would never mind uprooting Buddhism."
Everyone left with their own thoughts and thought about their future. They didn't believe that Xie Xun would kill them. Over the years, Xie Xun's broadmindedness and magnanimity have always impressed these people, and as Peng Yingyu said, without Mingjiao, the interests of these people have not been harmed at all, and rewards based on merit are still indispensable.
Xie Xun announced his decision to retire at the family dinner.
The whole family was surprised. Xie Xun was in his prime, when his energy and experience were at their best, and when he had the greatest desire for power. How could he want to fade away from the center of power?
The most disappointed of these people was Isa. She came to Middle-earth just to marry the Lord of the Central Plains. Even if she never thought that she would be able to inherit the throne when she gave birth to a son in the future, even if she was just a little concubine, she was still the emperor's woman, which was completely different from being the emperor's stepmother. But in this family, especially in such an important decision, she couldn't get involved.
Xie Wuji hurriedly said: "Father, the child is still young, how can he manage this country well, and please ask your father to ascend the throne."
Xie Xun said: "You have never let me down in studying and practicing martial arts since you were a child. This is why I can trust you to leave this world to you. I am already tired. Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to share my worries. It's okay not to understand. Even if I study hard, I may not be able to be a good emperor. Managing such a large country is different from managing a sect. In short, you must remember that any decision you make affects the people and cannot be hasty. Practice is the only way to test the truth. Only by trying it can you know whether the standard is right or not. If you don't listen to the wind, it will be rain. If you listen to both, you will be bright, and if you listen to one side, it will be dark."
Lu Zhiqing had always trained Xie Wuji as Xie Xun's successor, and was very pleased to see him recognized by Xie Xun.
But she had not expected Xie Xun to hand over power so early. She couldn't help but ask: "Brother, Wuji is inexperienced, so you are pushing him to the throne. Are you a little too hasty? Why don't you let him learn from you first?" Bar."
Xie Xun said: "I have never been an emperor, so why should you learn from me? If you only watch what others do, you will never do it yourself."
Lu Zhiqing said: "Brother is not very old. If you don't want to be the emperor, what do you want to do?"
Xie Xun said: "Being an emperor is too troublesome. I plan to spend the rest of my life studying martial arts."
Lu Zhiqing said in shock: "Brother, you are already invincible, why are you still studying martial arts?"
Xie Xun said: "There is no end to learning. Master Zhang is already so old, and he often retreats to study martial arts. Even though my martial arts skills are unmatched by anyone, my understanding of martial arts is still far behind Master Zhang's. . I didn’t have time before, and I don’t want to be tied down by worldly things in the future.”
