Unless you can abandon everything and cut off the relationship between yourself and your luck, you will have no chance of practicing. You will be suppressed by luck.

For example, Wen Fei now wants to practice, observe the light of his mind, and cultivate his nature and life. However, the light transformed by luck, merit, incense and vows will cover up all his own faint light of his own.

For example, every time Wen Fei leaves his body, his soul is wrapped in the power of fortune, merit and vows, and he cannot see clearly the original light of the soul. The soul is originally the greatest foundation of a cultivator.

To put it bluntly, Master Wen Datian’s cultivation foundation has been cut off. Wen Fei doesn’t like to think deeply when encountering things, so he vaguely understood these things before, but he didn’t think too clearly.

It was not until I was bedridden for a few months last time and was bored that I had time to calm down and think through the path I was going to take.

The path of an ordinary monk has been cut off at Wen Fei's feet. There are only two paths that he can practice, one is to turn to the path of divine.

And Shinto, ordinary acquired gods, are limited by luck and incense. They are as gray as the changes in luck at any time...

For example, if the acquired gods enfeoffed by the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed by the Jurchens and the Jin people refused to recognize their status, then these acquired gods would only be destroyed and dissipated.

Therefore, although the way of acquired gods is extremely simple for Wen Fei. For example, the current Ghost Emperor is still in the category of acquired gods, although it is already the most powerful among acquired gods.

But from the current perspective of Master Wen, he definitely looks down on him. Unless he is an innate master, Wen Fei is interested. And this Ghost Emperor is the key.

Wen Fei guessed that as long as the Ghost Emperor commands the entire Yin world, is recognized by the Yin world, and comes into contact with the Great Dao Force, he will become the innate god who is in charge of the Yin world.

In any early myth, the gods of heaven, the dark world (the god of the underworld), the god of earth, or the god of sea are the most powerful gods in the early days of heaven and earth. They are reflected in ancient Greece, Japan, and even more myths.

Therefore, being able to fully control the laws of the Yin world will definitely be one of the most powerful innate gods. This is the real path Wen Fei can take in the future.

And this Ghost Emperor is the opportunity for Master Wen to achieve enlightenment in the future!

Another type is more difficult, but the achievements are greater. Wen Fei didn't even think clearly whether he should take that road in the future! Although Wen Fei vaguely felt that in this situation, that road seemed more suitable.

However, even if you take that path, the body of the Ghost Emperor is very useful.

So no matter how you calculate it, Wen Fei would not allow the Ghost Emperor to develop an independent personality beyond his own control.

It seems that the only solution now is to have more diligent contact with each other in the dark world. It does not give any opportunity to grow an independent personality!

Day 2

The palace is not far away, but it is not that Wen Fei has to put on airs, but it is that Wen Fei is beginning to worry about his own safety issues.

Taoism is not as good as noble people. Noble people are protected by the dynasty and official spirit. Ordinary people who practice Taoism are absolutely unwilling to provoke them.

To be honest, in the land of China, the most powerful force has never been gods and Buddhas, but dynasties and emperors. Taoist monks who have always been involved in politics have never had a good end.

But Wen Fei is different. He does not use Taoism to interfere with politics!

With the custody of all the ceremonies, Wen Fei entered the palace without having to report it.

Knowing that Wen Fei, Shang's father, was coming, Zhao Ji hurriedly welcomed him out of the palace. His face was not very good, but he forced a smile and said, "Why is Shang's father so free today? Alas... Yang Jian is a bold guy. He actually caused civil unrest in the local area, and even privately mobilized officers and soldiers, and defeated several times in a row..."

Zhao Ji used to know a little about these things. However, Zhao Ji was busy with fun, and he didn't think that the bandits could cause any major problems. He didn't take them seriously. The most important thing was that Yang Jian and Wen Fei had a special relationship and he had to give Shang's father some face.

So Zhao Ji didn't take it seriously, turned a blind eye, and let Yang Jian clean up the mess and wipe his butt. However, he didn't expect that after Yang Jian was killed this time, Zhao Ji felt that the world seemed not very good when he paid attention to the state affairs.

It seems that it is not the kind of peaceful and prosperous era that the close ministers around him say. Especially in many places, the drought has been dry, and reading the memorials all night has made him a little thrilling. And he would never have read these carefully before.

Zhao Ji became serious. He had a "huge" empire. He didn't care much about causing trouble from his subordinates. The key is that Yang Jian actually helped him and Zhao Ji accumulate money.

Over the years, wars have been fought again, and the northwest war has increased sharply. Even if there is no war every year, the annual military expenditure has accounted for more than half of the court's total income.

The cost of raising troops in all dynasties was never as high as that of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was as high as 50 million to 60 million to 60 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million to 100 million

The biggest flaw of the Northern Song Dynasty recruitment system is that it has no reasonable retirement system. Once a young and strong man is recruited into the army, he can work until he is 60 years old. And the age of a truly combat-capable soldier should be from 20 to 40 years old, so the court of the Northern Song Dynasty used the national finances to feed veterans without combat-capable for 20 years.

This is not counting. Song raising soldiers followed the accumulated problems of the Five Dynasties. In addition to the monthly and annual gifts, there were also various additional rewards. The most prominent one was the suburbs' sacrifices once every three years. During the suburbs' sacrifices, the military soldiers were awarded frequently. It appeared in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and became customized in the Song Dynasty.

For example, the last time Wen Fei participated in the Huanqiu sacrifice to the sky, it ended up costing tens of millions of yuan...

Just to support these millions of redundant soldiers who lack combat effectiveness, nearly 80% of their fiscal revenue will be consumed every year.

This is just military pay, not the expenses of war. When encountering war, it is likely that tens of millions of chunks will be added. This time, the Song army showed its power to destroy Tubo first and then attack Xixia. The money was spent like flowing water. The national treasury was already in short supply.

In addition, he had to build Gen Yue and Shenxiao Heavenly Palace... all kinds of expenses required silver and money. Otherwise, he would not have forced Cai Jing to issue ten coins. So Zhao Ji pretended to be confused and asked Yang Jian to do whatever he wanted to make money...

In fact, Wen Fei also knew the reason for this situation. He went back for more than ten hours that night, checked countless information, and consulted several "experts".

To put it bluntly, the imperial guards of the Northern Song Dynasty were a refugee camp. Every time they had floods and droughts, in order to prevent refugees from unrest, the court would recruit young and strong men from the affected areas into the wing army, so that they could serve as soldiers and feed their families and live, thereby eliminating unrest.

Many criminals in the Northern Song Dynasty were sentenced to assassination as soldiers, which is also an important source of recruitment. In many cases, the more local recruitment recruits, the more rewards the recruiting officers are. These armies are raised like pigs, without training at all, and have no combat effectiveness at all.

It can be said that among the million troops of the Northern Song Dynasty, only tens of thousands of Western troops can fight... As for the fact that they cannot defeat Liangshan, it cannot be said that the enemy is too powerful, but they are too incompetent...

Zhao Ji was very clear about these issues. In fact, the Northern Song emperors of all dynasties were very clear about them. Otherwise, there would be no Qingli New Deal or Wang Anshi's reforms. It was just that Zhao Ji, who was romantic by nature, was just too ambitious and unwilling to be down-to-earth.

It is almost the same to make Zhao Ji pursue Feng Heng Yu Da. He will make him reform without hesitation, which will cost him his life... Anyway, he has to just live by and wait for the next emperor to solve it... But he still has to maintain this mess.

Of course, Wen Fei knew the most about Zhao Ji's temperament and mentality. In the past, Master Wen was also worried about this. After all, he was also the kind of ordinary person who was just a mediocre person.

Ninety-nine percent of people in this world are of this mediocrity. Everyone knows that working harder will have a better future. But those who work hard have already started working hard...

Those who refuse to work hard will still refuse to work hard even if they knew this principle.

When working, everyone knows that they have to work harder to have a better tomorrow. But everyone would rather complain about the world and complain about social injustice than turn into a workaholic and put in 120% of the effort.

To put it bluntly, everyone is dissatisfied with their current situation, but they are unwilling to change it through hard work.

Only one percent, or even less than one percent, have such perseverance and perseverance. Such characters can be called heroes if they fail.

Wen Fei realized this very early, but fortunately he was lucky. He had an adventure and stood at a high position. He was almost the same as the second generation ancestor who inherited his family property.

The difference is that Wen Fei clearly knows that it won’t take long to go bankrupt, so he is still working hard to save his fate of going bankrupt...

In essence, he and Zhao Ji are the same person. So he never thinks that Zhao Ji is stupid. Because if he were himself, he wouldn't be much stronger...

But now, it is a little different. The opportunity to achieve enlightenment is to wave to him. Now Wen Fei deeply realized that the root of all problems in the Northern Song Dynasty was the problem of money.

Even said that all dynasties or modern times, the biggest problem facing all governments is the money issue.
