Chapter 367: Settlement of accounts.
Today, many complex contradictions lie before us.
There are only two paths before Liu Yuntian:
First, they chose to continue to suppress the rebellion by force. However, doing so would be like playing with fire and getting burned. They could only wait for the backlash that might come and watch Liang State, the most powerful weapon, gradually go toward self-destruction.
The second is to bow down and compromise with the Way of Heaven helplessly, follow the established rhythm of the Way of Heaven obediently, and become its loyal slave and tool.
Obviously, for Liu Yuntian, the latter is definitely not what he wants.
If he really became a lackey of the Heavenly Dao, then what was the meaning of all his efforts in the past to overcome all obstacles and climb to the top of Qiyang Continent after going through countless hardships? !
However, it would be absolutely unfeasible to allow Liang to fall into the abyss of self-destruction.
Because at this moment, the Liang State is no longer what it used to be. It not only successfully absorbed the two major forces of Wuji and Baihua Holy Land, but also has many large and small second- and third-rate sects under its command.
It is no exaggeration to say that looking across the world, there is no better and more reliable trump card than the current Liang State.
However, once unrest breaks out in the Liang court, those clans that are eyeing the situation will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will definitely take the opportunity to seek their own independence and development.
In this way, if we want to achieve long-term stability of the country, the best solution is to skillfully use the art of checks and balances.
At the same time, this is also the result that the Heavenly Dao most hopes to see. Su Liang's direct confrontation from the very beginning was to divide the power in his hands and check and balance it within the State of Liang.
Either let the sect check and balance the State of Liang, or let the State of Liang become the only dominant one and then check and balance within the State of Liang.
To ensure the absolute power of Tiandao itself, there must not be a situation where Liang State or a sect becomes the only dominant power.
No matter how you distribute it, Heaven will only be at ease as long as there is a state of checks and balances.
If you don't check and balance yourself, then send someone to help you check and balance!
Seeing through the logic behind this, I can only say that Heaven’s Way is worthy of Heaven’s Way… This move really gives myself a generalship.
Checks and Balances…
Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian's originally frowned brows suddenly relaxed a little, as if a huge stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.
Almost subconsciously, he looked downward.
It was because of this unintentional glance that Liu Yuntian's eyes met with those of Lord Qian.
I saw a barely perceptible smile rising up on the weathered face of Lord Qian, and he nodded very covertly.
After seeing this subtle movement, Liu Yuntian was once again amazed at the shrewdness of Lord Qian.
The other party obviously saw through my thoughts and was willing to cooperate with me.
So, he snorted and laughed out loud: "In this case, let's put aside the matter of establishing the Imperial College for the time being..."
As soon as Liu Yuntian said this, the entire court was in an uproar.
"what?"
"What? Put it aside?"
"No way... not establishing a country anymore?!"
All the ministers opened their eyes wide, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They obviously did not expect that all the efforts that Liu Yuntian had made so vigorously and with so much fanfare before would be easily taken back in such a nonchalant manner.
This is totally inconsistent with Liu Yuntian's usual style!
All along, in this court, Liu Yuntian has always firmly controlled the general direction of the development of the situation, while other ministers can only respond passively.
However, now, Liu Yuntian suddenly chose to keep his troops in place and no longer take the initiative to attack, which put those ministers who were used to countering the opponent's moves into a completely passive situation.
Seeing that Liu Yuntian had already placed the delicious and tempting cake on the table, just when they were happily preparing to share it, Liu Yuntian took it away without any warning. How could they not be anxious with such a huge sense of gap and loss?
"Mr. Liu... I think what you said before is right!" the official said with a flattering face, his tone full of recognition and admiration for Mr. Liu's point of view.
"Yes, Lord Liu, those holy places all have holy sons, so how can our Liang Kingdom not have a national son? In this case, aren't we inferior to those holy places?"
For a moment, the whole hall seemed to be in an uproar, with noise rising and falling.
The ministers were whispering and discussing among themselves, some were even dancing with excitement, completely immersed in the topic of establishing the Imperial Academy.
Liu Yuntian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes revealed a barely perceptible hint of pride.
He slowly raised his right hand, trying to signal everyone to be quiet, but at this time the ministers in the audience had already been overwhelmed by the affairs of the Imperial College. Their attention was not on Liu Yuntian at all, and they were still arguing enthusiastically.
Seeing this, Liu Yuntian shook his head helplessly, then turned his head and glanced at Jin Dachuan standing beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Jin Dachuan understood and reacted quickly. He waved his arm, and the whisk in his hand swung in the air like a flash of lightning.
In an instant, there was a loud "bang" and the air was instantly torn apart, making a sharp sound of air explosion.
This sudden sound was like a spell, making the originally noisy hall suddenly silent.
Everyone was shocked and stopped talking, turning their eyes to Jin Dachuan.
"Quiet!!!" Jin Dachuan shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the empty hall, the lingering sound lingering.
The ministers suddenly woke up as if from a dream and realized their own gaffe. They turned their heads and looked at Liu Yuntian in front of them.
At this time, Liu Yuntian had an evil smile on his face, which made people shudder.
His deep eyes scanned everyone present, as if he could see through their innermost thoughts.
"You won't come here in vain today..." Liu Yuntian deliberately dragged out his tone and kept everyone in suspense, successfully whetting everyone's appetite.
"You all know that some people are so bold as to dare to take advantage of my absence to do some shameful things behind my back!"
After saying that, he reached into his arms with his right hand and slowly took out a small and exquisite notebook.
The book looked a little old, but it was well preserved.
Liu Yuntian gently opened the book, and the paper made a slight rustling sound, as if every page carried unknown secrets and sins.
