The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 150

[Chapter 148 Theocracy and Kingship]

When Cao Cao and the others came to Zhong Yu’s camp, they were already in a mess, like a savage. They were all dirty, their clothes were rotten, and their faces were yellow and skinny, obviously they were starving.

After taking them to take care of it for a while, after using the meal, they brought it to Zhong Yu.

Following Cao Cao and others’ speeches, they told Zhong Yu about their experiences. In the camp, there was silence and the atmosphere was full of depression.

After a long time, Zhong Yucai slowly exhaled and nodded to Cao Cao and the others. It was because of His Majesty the Emperor’s long silence that they were kneeling on the ground in fear

. Tangled, all of this was anticipated by the emperor before the expedition, and now this result is within his own reason, and he doesn’t care too much.

After a few chats between you and me, Zhong Yu began to discuss with them, what should we do next?

He also said that he had received news that Sun Jian in the south had rebelled, and the situation in the southwest region and Luoyang was rotten.

Cao Cao and others were surprised again. They didn’t expect that Sun Jian would dare to rebel. Don’t they know that his family and relatives are in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor?

To be so cold-blooded and ruthless, for the sake of power, put his family’s safety at risk. I really didn’t expect that the usual brave, straightforward and forthright Sun Wentai was hidden so deeply that several people stood upright in a cold sweat.

Seeing the performance of several people, Zhong Yu was not too surprised, thinking that when he got this news, he was even more shocked than them!

He thought that even if it was a rebellion, it would be an imitation of Cao Cao, a famous hero. How could he guess that Sun Jian, a tiger in the Jiangdong region, would actually do such a disobedient thing.

However, he did not expect that the facts were far beyond his expectations. The treacherous Cao Cao did not rebel, but instead loyally fled back to his camp to inform himself of the situation in the north and plead guilty.

He didn’t care about the anger that he might lose the entire northern territory because of the death of 50,000 troops, and he involved Cao Cao in a rage, and lost his life in vain.

But Sun Jian, who originally thought he should be loyal to him, instead, for his own interests and ambitions, did not hesitate to follow his own words and kneel and lick at these barbarians.

And he immediately dispatched troops to attack himself, his old master.

All the way to siege the city and the land, the progress is rapid, and it is almost about to hit the city of Luoyang.

If it weren’t for Tian Feng and others’ wit, they would have fled back to Luoyang City with 5,000 cavalry soldiers early, and summoned a group of soldiers and horses to resist Sun Jian’s aggression to the death.

I am afraid that the city of Luoyang at this moment has long been captured by Sun Jian, and he will also be caught in an embarrassing situation where he has no place to stand in this world, and is in danger.

Although he has a system, his foundation is not limited to such a world, and his vision is far-reaching, spreading his ambitions throughout the heavens and the world.

But Zhong Yu was also a little heartbroken to lose this world with the existence of gods and demons for nothing. After all, he poured countless efforts here, spent countless resources and time, to build such a base that can barely be regarded as the rear.

After a moment of panic, followed by a burst of anger, I can’t wait to send troops back immediately and kill Sun Jian, a traitor who should be cut with a thousand swords.

But the current situation had to let Zhong Yu put down this deep hatred and turn to deal with the god of the Edel tribe in front of him. He is the biggest crisis in this industry.

However, although Zhong Yu was a little worried about this, he was not too worried. After all, he naturally had a sense of superiority towards the gods.

If you are faced with some strengths that you have cultivated through your own efforts, step by step, slowly absorbing those spiritual qi from heaven and earth, and after untold hardships and all kinds of tempering, then Zhong Yu may not have too much for those cultivators. Too obvious suppression.

But if these are the things in front of you, it is obviously the gods who rely on absorbing beliefs and gathering the incense of all living beings to cultivate. Zhong Yu has the utmost contempt and disregard for them!

It has been said before that the cultivation of Zhong Yu’s practice is to simulate the coercion of the heavens and gather the faith of humanity, which fundamentally suppresses the vast majority of practitioners in the world.

Unless it is an existence that is beyond the Dao of Heaven and Dao of humanity, the possibility of being suppressed by Zhong Yu’s power may be smaller.

But obviously, these gods who still rely on faith to cultivate are obviously not in such a ranks, so they have a natural disadvantage to Zhong Yu, who is the master of millions of living beings.

There is not much difference between a god and an emperor in essence. They are the beliefs of the billions of people in the world. The vast majority of people in the whole world place their beliefs on these two existences.

For the gods, they seek blessings in the next life and the treatment after death. For the emperor, they seek the glory and wealth in this world, as well as the fear of the emperor’s power over life and death.

Looking at it this way, there is not much difference between the emperor and the gods. Both of them are in charge of the fundamental needs of life before and after death, and they are born to gather countless beliefs.

Even fundamentally, the emperor has to suppress the gods, because gods rely on the beliefs of living people to maintain their existence and the progress of their cultivation.

Although the belief of dead souls has some benefits to them, it does not have much effect.

In addition to those that have existed for countless years, the souls of believers have gathered countless powerful gods.

Then the needs of living beings are far greater than the needs of dead beings, so it is inevitable to face the emperor, who has no requirements for faith, and has a natural disadvantage.

Because he needs the creatures under the emperor’s control to believe in him and help him grow and develop, it is difficult to bypass such a barrier as the emperor, and it is difficult for anyone to deny the influence of kingship in the hearts of living beings.

So in ancient China, there was such a sentence that was very popular and profound, UU reading www.

uukanshu.

The com religion is prosperous without the support of the state, which means that a sect cannot prosper without the support of the state.

Just like Buddhism and Taoism in ancient China, these two sects have been competing for the support of the emperor in every dynasty and generation. Any sect that has the support of the emperor and the state will flourish for dozens of hundreds of years.

Until the next emperor supports another suppressed sect, this sect can turn around and raise its eyebrows and sweep away the previous bad luck.

Just like Christianity in the West, it was not supported by the Roman Empire at the beginning, and was inconspicuous in the entire Roman state, although it was relatively strong among many denominations in Rome and was supported by most of the lower-level civilians.

But if the government of the country really wants to eliminate this sect, although it may pay some heavy price, it is not impossible.

However, the country was reluctant to pay such a high price because of a momentary hesitation, and turned into a Christian existence. It gave Christianity some support, allowing it to grow rapidly, and gradually became an existence that was enough to shake the rule of the entire empire.

Then it happened. In the Middle Ages, the country was under the helpless world of sects. All the kings of Europe had to apply to the Pope for canonization, and kiss the Pope’s stinky dirty shoes to get the Pope’s support.

Otherwise, it is an infidel who does not worship God, an existence that must be punished, then the honor and glory of this king will be far away from him, and what awaits him will be hanging and burning.

There is also the policy of religion, which has also created a sect that is one of the three major religions in the world. These cases after another prove that if any sect loses the support of the state, what will be the serious consequences?
