Chapter 189 Full Support
"Great chaos?"

Yunming sneered, "If we don't eliminate these hidden dangers now, the great chaos that will result in the future will be the real disaster for the country."

I hereby order the Embroidered Uniform Guard to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the martial arts manuals hidden by various sects. Once they have solid evidence, they shall immediately confiscate them.

Those sects that resist will be killed without exception.

At this moment, General Xiao Zhan stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead an elite force to assist the Embroidered Uniform Guard in its operations. This will surely deter those Jianghu people from making any rash moves."

Yun Ming nodded slightly: "General Xiao, I'll leave this matter to you and the Embroidered Uniform Guard to work together."

Remember, the goal is to achieve it, but also to minimize unnecessary casualties.

After resolving the issue of the anti-war operation, Yunming turned his attention to religious matters.

"Minister Lin, Buddhism and Taoism now wield considerable influence in our Yunxia Kingdom. We cannot allow them to develop freely; we must regulate them."

Lin Yuan nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is wise. I believe that a Religious Affairs Bureau should be established to manage religious affairs and balance the power of Buddhism and Taoism."

"Yes, as you say."

Yunming looked at Wang Fu, the chief eunuch beside him, and said, "Wang Fu, go and select a few shrewd and capable people to form a religious affairs bureau. Make sure you do this well."

Wang Fu immediately knelt down to accept the order: "This old servant obeys the decree and will do his utmost."

A few days later, the religious affairs department was officially established.

Yunming summoned Abbot Xuanku of Buddhism and Master Qingfeng, the leader of Taoism, to the palace.

Master Xuanku and Daoist Qingfeng arrived at the palace and bowed to Yunming.

"Your Majesty has summoned this humble monk. What is the purpose of your summons?"

Master Xuanku clasped his hands together and asked the question.

Yunming smiled and said, "Master, Taoist priest, I invited you two here today to discuss matters concerning the development of religion."

Our Yunxia Kingdom has always respected freedom of religion. However, with the rapid development of religion today, in order to avoid chaos, we have established a Religious Affairs Bureau, and we hope that you two can support and cooperate with us.

Master Qingfeng stroked his beard and said, "His Majesty's actions are also for the stability of the country, and our Taoist sect should give it our full support."

I just wonder how this religious official will manage the affairs of my Taoist sect?

Yunming patiently explained: "The Religious Affairs Bureau is mainly responsible for regulating religious activities and ensuring that religion develops within the scope permitted by national law."

We will not interfere with your normal spiritual practice and missionary work.

At the same time, the religious authorities will also provide you with some assistance and support to promote the prosperity of religion.

Master Xuanku nodded and said, "That's very good. This humble monk also hopes that Buddhism can better promote the Dharma and save all sentient beings in Yunxia Kingdom."

After resolving the religious issue, Yunming began to strengthen intelligence gathering and surveillance.

He summoned Zhao Yu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Sun Fu, the director of the Eastern Depot, to the palace.

"Zhao Yu, Sun Fu, although our Yunxia Kingdom appears peaceful on the surface, many crises are lurking in the shadows."

"You, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot, as my eyes and ears, must strengthen your intelligence gathering and surveillance work."

Yunming said seriously.

Zhao Yu knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this humble servant will do his utmost and not let go of any clue that is detrimental to the country."

Sun Fu also immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Depot will also intensify its efforts to closely monitor both inside and outside the court."

Yunming nodded slightly: "Very good. The two of you must cooperate with each other and not have any selfish motives."

If any official is found to be corrupt, forming cliques for personal gain, or if any underworld force is found to be plotting something malicious, they will be severely punished without exception.

Next, Yunming turned his attention to the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry.

The Northern Desert Cavalry is an elite force of the Yunxia Kingdom, with extremely strong combat capabilities, but it also makes Yunming somewhat wary.

"General Xiao, although the Northern Desert Cavalry has made great contributions to my Yunxia Kingdom, its power is now too great and it has been stationed in the Northern Desert for a long time. I am worried that it will become too big to handle."

Yunming said to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was startled and quickly said, "Your Majesty, the Northern Iron Cavalry are loyal to you and have no intention of rebelling."

Yunming waved his hand: "General Xiao, I do not doubt loyalty, but for the long-term stability of the country, it is necessary to make reasonable adjustments to the army."

I plan to break up the Northern Desert Cavalry and disperse them to various garrisons. This will both strengthen local military forces and prevent any single army from becoming too powerful.

Xiao Zhan remained silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's wisdom and foresight are profound; I obey your decree."

However, this matter requires careful consideration to avoid causing discontent among the soldiers.

Yunming nodded and said, "Yes, go and communicate well with the generals of the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry, tell me the purpose of doing this, and as long as they are loyal to the country, I will not treat them unfairly."

Finally, Yunming began to implement his ethnic policy, using Han people to control Hu people and Hu people to control Han people.

He summoned Han and minority ministers from the court to discuss the matter.

"My esteemed ministers, there are many ethnic groups within the territory of our Yunxia Kingdom. How to achieve harmonious coexistence among these ethnic groups is a problem we must solve."

I intend to implement a power structure in which the Han people govern the non-Han peoples and the non-Han peoples control the Han peoples, so that all ethnic groups can check and balance each other and contribute to the development of the country.

Yunming said.

Minister Li, a Han Chinese, frowned: "Your Majesty, using barbarians to control the Han people may cause dissatisfaction among the Han people, and we must be wary of the barbarian's intentions."

The ethnic minority minister, Aguda, stood up and said loudly, "Lord Li, what do you mean by this? We Hu people are also loyal to the Yunxia Kingdom. His Majesty's action is an expression of his trust in us. Why do you doubt us?"

Yunming quickly said, "My two ministers, please don't quarrel."

I implement this policy not because I distrust any party, but to promote better integration among all ethnic groups.

Han culture is profound and extensive, while the Hu people are brave and skilled in battle. We should learn from each other and make progress together.

As long as everyone is united in their commitment to the country, there will be no problem.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Yunming has entered middle age.

On a sunny day, good news arrived: his wife had given birth to a healthy, chubby son.

Yunming stood outside the delivery room, his hands clasped tightly together. When he heard the clear cry of the newborn, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

He rushed into the delivery room and looked at the pink little face in the swaddling clothes. His heart was filled with joy. This was the continuation of his life and his most precious treasure in this world.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work."

Yunming looked tenderly at his frail wife and spoke softly.

The lady shook her head slightly, a happy smile on her face: "It's not hard work. This is our child. He will definitely become a remarkable person in the future."

Yunming gently picked up the child and looked into the child's bright eyes, a strong urge to protect him welled up in his heart.

Just then, the images of those powerful figures who had once suppressed him in martial arts flashed through his mind, and his resentment towards martial artists surged up in his heart again.

He secretly vowed to create an environment for his child free from the threat of martial arts, so that he could grow up safely and happily.

At the same time, Yunming's desire for immortality grew stronger.

He knew that in this cruel world, only by having an endless lifespan could he better protect his children and family.

"I want to eliminate all martial arts in this world, and I want to ensure that no one can surpass me."

Yunming made up his mind in his heart.

Not long after, Yunming, relying on the power and prestige he had accumulated in the court, issued a decree to destroy Wu, which shocked the world.

This decree shook the entire world.

"Your Majesty, this order to exterminate Wu is absolutely unacceptable!"

In the imperial court, an old minister with white hair knelt down with a thud and said with tears in his eyes, "Martial arts are a treasure that our Chinese nation has inherited for thousands of years. Countless ancestors have used their blood and sweat to create the current golden age of martial arts."

"If we destroy Wu, we will become sinners for all time!"

Yunming sat on the dragon throne, his face gloomy, and said coldly, "My dear minister, you only know one side of the story, not the other."

Now that martial arts are flourishing and the strong are respected, the common people live in fear every day.

If you are not careful, you will be bullied by martial artists.

As the ruler of a nation, how could I stand by and watch my people suffer? The destruction of the Wu kingdom was for the sake of all living beings, to restore peace to the world.

"Your Majesty, but..."

The old minister wanted to argue further. "Enough!"

Yunming slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne and shouted angrily, "I have already made a decision on this matter, and there is no need to discuss it further."

Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy!

The old minister lowered his head helplessly, his heart filled with sorrow.

His Majesty's mind is made up. Once this decree to eliminate martial arts is implemented, the entire world will surely be plunged into a bloodbath.

Driven by the order to eliminate martial arts, a massive purge began.

Countless martial artists were hunted down, and the once-prosperous martial arts sects collapsed instantly.

Yunming also ordered the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism to revise their classics, deleting all content related to martial arts.

"Abbot, what should we do?"

Inside the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Repository, a monk said anxiously, "Our Shaolin Temple's martial arts manuals were all passed down by our ancestors. Now His Majesty wants us to revise the classics and burn martial arts books. Isn't this going to sever the lineage of our Shaolin Temple?"

The abbot clasped his hands together, a pained expression on his face: "Amitabha, the holy will has been made. If we do not obey, the entire Shaolin Temple will face annihilation."

In order to preserve the foundation of Shaolin Temple, we have no choice but to compromise for the time being.

"But this goes against our conscience!"

The monk said unwillingly.

The abbot sighed, "This is a last resort."

"Let's find a way to restore our martial arts traditions when the world is at peace."

Thus, under Yunming's pressure, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism began revising their classics.

Those precious martial arts books were also reduced to ashes in the raging fire.

Yunming was not satisfied with this. He also ordered the text and wording to be modified in an attempt to fundamentally erase the traces of martial arts.

"Your Majesty, revising the text and meaning is a major matter. If we are not careful, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people!"

A scholar said with deep concern.

Yunming sneered: "Dissatisfied? I'd like to see who dares to be dissatisfied."

I am the ruler of a nation, this world belongs to me, and I can do whatever I want.

From this day forward, all texts and terms related to martial arts must be revised. Anyone who dares to disobey will be charged with treason!

The Grand Secretary retreated helplessly, sighing inwardly that the world was about to change.

In addition to these, Yunming also formed a team of tomb raiders to excavate ancient tombs and search for martial arts manuals.

He believed that many unknown martial arts secrets must be hidden in those ancient tombs.

"Listen up, all of you. This mission is not allowed to fail; it must succeed."

"If you find any martial arts manuals, this general will reward you handsomely; but if you dare to slack off or cheat, hmph, don't blame this general for being impolite!"

The leader of the tomb raiders roared at his soldiers.

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

And so, the Tomb Raiders team began their tomb raiding adventure.

They searched everywhere for traces of ancient tombs, and every time they found one, they would try their best to get inside.

By chance, the tomb raiders discovered the ancient tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.

Upon learning this news, Yunming was overjoyed and personally led his army to the ancient tomb.

"Open this ancient tomb for me! I want to see what treasures are hidden inside!"

Yunming gave the order loudly.

The soldiers immediately sprang into action, using various tools to dig at the entrance to the ancient tomb.

After much effort, the entrance to the ancient tomb was finally opened.

Yunming, along with the tomb raiders and a group of soldiers, cautiously entered the ancient tomb.

The ancient tomb was filled with a sinister atmosphere, and the walls were covered with all sorts of strange patterns and characters.

"Everyone be careful, there might be traps or mechanisms here."

The leader of the tomb raiders reminded him.

The group walked forward cautiously when suddenly, a violent tremor came from ahead.

"Oh no, there's a trap!"

someone shouted.

Suddenly, huge spikes appeared on the ground and stabbed towards the group.

The soldiers panicked and fled in all directions.

Yunming's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected that there would be such a powerful mechanism in this ancient tomb.

"Quick, find a way to avoid these spikes!"

Yunming shouted loudly.

Just when everyone was in trouble, a tomb raider discovered a hidden compartment in the wall.

He rushed over and pushed open the hidden compartment, revealing a button inside.

Without hesitation, he pressed the button, and the spikes instantly stopped moving and slowly retracted.

"Phew, I've finally escaped a disaster."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Continuing forward, we finally arrived at the main burial chamber of the ancient tomb.

The main burial chamber contained a huge coffin, surrounded by piles of gold and silver treasures.

"Your Majesty, this must be Emperor Gaozong's coffin."

The leader of the tomb raiders pointed to the coffin and said.

Yunming stepped forward and carefully examined the coffin.

He was filled with anticipation, hoping to find the martial arts manual or the secret to immortality he had been dreaming of in the coffin.

"Open it!"

Yunming gave the order.

The soldiers slowly opened the coffin lid with tools, and a pungent smell wafted out.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and peered into the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a corpse dressed in a dragon robe, with some burial items placed beside it.

"Bring out all the burial goods and search them carefully to see if there are any martial arts manuals."

Yunming said.

The soldiers began searching through the burial goods when suddenly one of them shouted, "Your Majesty, I've found it!"

Yunming hurried over and saw that the soldier was holding a scroll.

He took the scroll and slowly unfurled it. When he saw what was on the scroll, his eyes widened in surprise.

"This...this is actually the 'Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion'!"

Yunming said excitedly.

The Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion is a masterpiece by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and is hailed as "the finest running script in the world".

Yunming never expected that he would be able to find it in the ancient tomb of Emperor Gaozong of Tang.
