The 126th chapter on the forest line (5)(2/2)
Almost the entire army was wiped out.
Bai Yousi held the sword in his arms and walked around, breathing heavily, obviously losing his composure again.
Zhang Xing, who seemed to have expected it, was also a little dazed. He began to wonder whether this was a small matter or a big deal. In the past, Nanya still had authority, both to the superiors and to the subordinates. But now this tiger skin was taken by the saint himself.
What will be the consequences of tearing it apart?
Grass grows in people's hearts, right?
Bai Yousi was still walking around, and she didn't know why. The zhenqi around her began to become a little disordered. Many decorations in the white tower were moved, and papers and documents were also rolled up.
"Actually, they are always ministers."
Zhang Xing thought for a while and decided to give some advice. "Since the Qing Emperor, although the political system has been constantly changing, generally speaking, the monarchy has become more and more powerful... Even the top of the cultivators are the four.
Being an 'Emperor', this already explains the problem."
"I understand, but what I can't understand is..." Bai Yousi stopped, but his words were incoherent. "Why is it so... so..."
"So extreme?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment and filled in the blanks for the other party.
"Yes." Bai Yousi nodded, and the surrounding decorations finally stopped moving. "It's too extreme."
"This is something that can't be helped." Zhang Xing said seriously. "This is both a political tradition and a certain trend... The influence of the emperor is too great. If a good emperor is born, the whole world will benefit, but once a good emperor is born...
...You know...the whole world will suffer from it."
"This isn't right."
"Of course not."
"Is there nothing you can do?"
"Design the system, create public opinion, try to restrict it...but don't think what will happen if the rulers are powerful. In the past hundreds of years, what if the clans were powerful enough to replace the emperor? Under the sect's private plan,
Their exploitation of the common people is even more harmful to the world."
"Then..."
"Believe in the way of heaven...history is still moving forward. I read history books and novels. During the time of Black Emperor and Red Emperor, the tribal disputes that the common people had during the time of Qing Emperor were too much; by the time of White Emperor,
It is much better than the Black Emperor; even in "The Legend of Li Yue" which is only a little behind the White Emperor, the food and drink are much better..."
"Then how to design the system?"
"There are many systems, and no one knows which one is suitable and which one is not. But generally speaking, a good system requires good productivity, and productivity is not achieved overnight."
"What the hell?"
"That is to say... for example, a good system needs to deliver messages faster, so the better and wider the roads are, and the flatter and deeper the rivers are, the better... But for now, let the people dig it.
Building roads in rivers will only lead to human disasters, so we have to find ways to make it easier for old road builders to dig rivers without spending too much effort."
"That's it." Bai Yousi said thoughtfully.
"Okay." Zhang Xing stood up. "It's all just nonsense made by me and Li Silang. It's not as good as talking about military affairs on paper. It only talks about the affairs of the monarch and his ministers in front of us... Our Majesty has been on the throne for more than ten years, and there is no one who can't compare to him."
Do we know about him? Since we know clearly, we naturally have to consider the survival of the family and personal safety. To put it bluntly, we have been tamed by His Majesty. Therefore, there is no need to care too much, and it is not something that people of our level can care about...
Let them do whatever they want, they are the emperor and the prime minister. Shall we go have a drink?"
"Zhongcheng..." Bai Yousi shook his head, still seeming a little unwilling.
"Zhongcheng is an exception." Zhang Xing continued to explain helplessly. "He is from the royal family. When the late emperor was here, his cultivation was not high enough, so he was extremely favored. So when the pilgrim came to the throne, he felt that he had that responsibility and obligation.
...As everyone knows, if he had a son, or if his cultivation level was not even close, he would be the first to be eradicated by the saint. And during the time of the late emperor, if he had become a great master early, he would probably have been sacrificed to the Dragon Seal by the late emperor and given to him.
Let’s deal with it first.”
"What about me?" Bai Yousi suddenly asked. "I'm not convinced either?"
"You..." Zhang Xingchu was puzzled at first, but then he laughed. "I'm afraid Bai Changjian hasn't been weighed before His Majesty, right?"
Bai Yousi was silent for a while, but still looked a little unwilling: "Zhang Xing, everyone knows that building big golden pillars is at least a waste of people and money."
"Think better." Zhang Xing put away his smile and finally came to persuade. "If it were a saint, these ministers would still be loyal ministers and good ministers... But the overall situation is like this, who can do anything?"
"Who is the overall situation?" Bai Yousi seemed to be confused, but unexpectedly asked a good question.
"Good question." Zhang Xing asked solemnly. "Who is this person? Do you want to continue asking? Or come with me to Li Silang's house for a drink? Zhang Shiniang should invite you, right?"
Bai Yousi remained silent and went downstairs with Zhang Xing, preparing to go have a drink with Zhang Shiniang, who was like her closest sister.
Not only did he walk to the corridor in the courtyard, but when he passed by the willow green gauze tent, Bai Yousi suddenly stopped and asked in the willow forest: "In the final analysis, the reason why Zhongcheng can stand on his own is because he is a great master, right or wrong?"
"
"Yes, but it's not what you think. As I said, even the four emperors are 'emperors', and when they practice to a high level, they will tend to... according to the laws of nature..." Zhang Xing explained helplessly.
"I'm overthinking it." Bai Yousi nodded and set off again. "After today's incident, Zhongcheng may find it difficult to move forward."
However, just after taking a few steps, he stopped again.
"So what?" Zhang Xing was a little helpless.
"There are still some very interesting places." Bai Yousi was thoughtful again. "You just talked about digging the river. Do you remember the Han River? It was almost only Bai Diye who created this thoroughfare for the world.
It makes Guanxi, Bashu, and Jingxiang almost one body... In fact, the other three supreme beings are also like this. They have cultivated to the extreme and single-handedly moved the world forward by three points, so they achieved enlightenment."
This time, it was finally Zhang Xing's turn to be silent for a while.
After waiting for a long time, Deputy Inspector Zhang slowly spoke in the willow forest in the West Garden of Ziwei Palace: "Do you want to be the Supreme? It's not impossible, but the precondition is that the world is in chaos... This is what you told me."
Bai Yousi stood tall with his sword in his arms, looking at the man in front of him without saying a word. The willows and green branches around him were flying like silk, as if his heart was in chaos.
After a long time, the willow branches stopped, and Bai Yousi managed a smile: "Let's go drink and talk about it later."
PS: I was wrong...but when I wrote it at noon, I was really sleepy. I wanted to go back to bed and sleep for an hour. But in the spring, I was so sleepy that I walked two or three miles and slept for half a day.
