Chapter 314: There will be great changes in the world (1)
"Your Excellency was able to become a senior ruler in those years because of Hongwu's dragon veins and national luck. As a result, your Excellency and the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty were deeply entangled. As your Excellency said, Hongwu was your quagmire. You were stuck in it and you wanted to get out of it.
How difficult it is."
The law of heaven reincarnates and causes karma. It is the same for any senior ruler. Hui Yi was gifted by the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty and became a senior ruler. If he had left Hongwu when it was in turmoil, the consequences in the future would have been huge and unbearable.
.
Everyone in the world understands this truth, Song Zheng just said it simply, Hui Yi's face did not change.
Song Zheng added: "Master Xiao and I have a plan to help Hongwu and set sail again for the Ten Thousand Years Dynasty."
Hui Yigong shook his head slightly: "Xiao Zhen told me about this, but I am not optimistic about his plan.
Do you know that the destiny of a dynasty has its ups and downs, and there will also be times when it becomes depleted and exhausted. The so-called resurgence in history is just the ups and downs of destiny. When the dragon's veins are truly cut off, the destiny of the country comes to an end, and the manpower is irreversible.
Everything you do is just a futile struggle with no hope of success.
I am a veteran of the country, and I have the supernatural power to see through everything in this world. Hongwu's national destiny has come to an end, the dragon's veins are about to wither, and it can be said that there will be no salvation.
Your plan is too naive. Saving a dynasty is not as simple as replacing a fatuous emperor."
Song Zheng nodded: "When the boy just walked out of Huangtai Castle, he was inspired by Mr. Shi Yuanhe and Mr. Xiao Zhen, and he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to contribute to that plan.
But in the past few years in the south of the Yangtze River, I have seen clearly the true face of the Hongwu dynasty. It is not as cold as a day. If Hongwu wants to be reborn, what is needed is not just a replacement of the emperor, but a top-down revolution.
Huge change!”
Hui Yigong looked at him, his eyes as deep as the sea of stars, making it difficult to guess his attitude: "Big changes? Young people should be down-to-earth, and don't try to take advantage of opportunities."
Song Zheng shook his head: "I am not saying this to deceive you. You are a senior governor, so you can naturally tell whether what I just said is sincere."
Hui Yigong nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked slowly: "Since it is a huge change, maybe you want to change the dynasty?"
Song Zheng smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No matter how arrogant and arrogant the boy is, it is impossible for him to have such thoughts. Besides, the dynasty has changed, and you are the first to be implicated. How can I use this method to seek your support?"
?”
Hui Yigong drank tea quietly, as motionless as the snow-capped mountains on the horizon.
On the other hand, the two peak ancestors found out for the first time today that the master has a problem in his chest. They were shocked and curious, and couldn't help but ask: "What can you do, master?"
Song Zheng leaned forward and said in a deep voice: "I want to return to the ancient system."
"Ancient system?" Even Hui Yigong couldn't help but be aroused this time.
Song Zheng explained in detail: "In ancient times, there were wild beasts eating people and monsters oppressing people all over the land. A saint was born in our human race, who led us to open up the wilderness, drive away wild beasts, and fight against monsters. He also taught our people to plant crops.
Crops, silkworms, fishery and animal husbandry. Only our clan can slowly rise in the wilderness, thrive and thrive.
When Yao died, the people of the tribe were recruited to elect Shun to succeed him. Shun was equally virtuous, and his virtues were passed down from generation to generation, and the firepower continued."
Duke Hui Yi showed a look of disappointment: "You want to elect the emperor publicly? Times have changed. At that time, people's hearts were simple, and most people had no selfish motives when electing the emperor. They only looked at whether the saint was worthy or not. Now if the whole world is to elect the emperor, there will probably be chaos immediately.
As a group, everyone from aristocratic families, sects, powerful and high-ranking officials will feel that they are qualified to sit in that position.
With inflated greed and selfishness, such a system cannot be implemented at all."
He shook his head repeatedly, while Song Zheng smiled: "First of all, your Excellency has misunderstood what I mean. The world still belongs to the royal family. The person I am planning to nominate is not the emperor, but the chief minister.
Secondly, you are right to say that nowadays people's hearts are not old and greed is too strong, so a simple public recommendation will not work, but I thought hard day and night and finally came up with a solution.
The world recommends it every ten years. No matter who ascends to the position of chief minister, he can only serve for ten years. After ten years, the world will recommend him again."
In Hui Yigong's deep eyes, there was a tiny starlight twinkling, and Senior Zhenguo was using his powerful magical power to deduce the success or failure of this kind of change that Song Zheng mentioned.
He has already achieved some results.
But the two peak ancestors were a little confused: "Publicly recommend the chief minister? But the world is still royal, so what is the significance of the public recommendation? The emperor can replace the chief minister with a decree."
Song Zheng sneered and said: "If my plan is successful, how can the emperor still have such great power? The chief minister leads the government, and the emperor is just the custodian of the national jade seal.
After formulating various national policies, he only needs to promulgate them in the form of an imperial edict and stamp them with a big seal."
"This..." The two ancestors couldn't think clearly for a while: "Then what else does the emperor want?"
"If there is no emperor, the people in the world will be too eager to accept it, and I am afraid there will be a great chaos. Secondly, the seven heroes of the human race and the various tribes of the demon race will not let me go, Hongwu."
The two ancestors thought about it and gradually understood.
Song Zheng was fair to Hui Yi: "As for the public recommendation of the chief minister and the various details of the chief minister leading the administration, it is very complicated and troublesome to explain. I have written a detailed statement and asked you to read it."
He presented a scroll of jade slips, and Hui Yigong took it and read it over, then closed his eyes again and began to deduce it seriously.
After a while, he opened his eyes and said: "If we really follow this and nothing goes wrong, this plan is feasible. It will continue the destiny of our Hongwu country for tens of thousands of years."
The two ancestors, General Hui Yi, agreed with the plan and were very happy. Unexpectedly, Duke Hui Yi followed up and said: "But the power of the chief minister is extremely great. Even if it is pushed every ten years, he will not be in power for ten years."
, you can also use various means to consolidate your power and find ways to attack political opponents." He put down the jade slip and said: "So your plan seems beautiful, but it cannot be implemented at all."
The two ancestors were heartbroken.
Song Zheng was not in a hurry, smiled and bowed to Hui Yi Gong: "This is what I really want to discuss with you today."
Hui Yigong looked at him: "Okay, you say it."
"How to put an end to the evil consequences you mentioned, the inspiration comes from Long Yiwei. The boy feels that we need a yamen that can truly supervise the world. It does not need to be responsible to the emperor and does not obey the orders of the chief minister at all.
Independent investigation, independent trial, independent conviction, and independent execution.
I want to name this yamen ‘Tiandu Office’. Looking at the entire Hongwu, you are the only one who has the qualifications, ability, and prestige to be in charge of the Tiandu Office!”
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply and refused to get up.
Hui Yigong's eyes flickered. If he were an ordinary powerful person in Zhenguo, he would probably have laughed at this moment, thinking that Song Zheng's behavior was childish and ridiculous for using such huge power to seduce Zhenguo.
But Hui Yigong, a veteran of the country, did not know how to do it. After listening to Song Zheng's words, he did not ridicule, rebuke, or let him get up. Instead, he activated his deduction power and added the results just now to what Song Zheng had said.
The "Heavenly Supervisor's Office" mentioned was re-deduced.
Even with the skills of a senior Zhengguo, it took him less than half an hour before he said: "As a result, the Tiandu Office needs strong force, and all counties and counties need to be equipped with combat equipment."
Song Zheng responded: "Hongwu is rich. If the emperor had not been extravagant, the county-level yamen would have been equipped with war equipment."
Hui Yigong took a deep breath and said slowly: "Hongwu's national destiny is in turmoil. I became a senior because of Hongwu, and I have a deep bond with Hongwu.
Before I made the decision to live in seclusion a few years ago, I had quit acting. If I continue to follow the emperor and do the opposite, I will eventually be unable to escape the punishment of heaven. I will definitely die, and I will not even have the opportunity to be reincarnated and rebuild.
If he makes a decisive decision and cuts off the connection with Hongwu, it will be karmic retribution. In the end, he will inevitably fall into a state of decline and suffer a great loss in strength.
But considering the lesser of the two evils, I naturally chose to live in seclusion and hide from the world.
But if I can save Hong Wu, I will naturally be willing to go out and maintain my current state in the hope of ascending."
The hearts of the two peak ancestors were beating wildly: Is this Your Excellency Hui Yigong promising to support you?
But Hui Yigong said: "I live in seclusion in this bamboo sea. You are not the first person to come to see me, nor are you the first person to come up with a whole set of plans to try to convince me.
The world will be in chaos, dragons and snakes will rise together. There will be heroes, heroes, and lords in this world.
I have also used my magical powers to deduce their plans, some of which may be successful, and some of which are useless. But so far, your plan is the boldest and has the greatest possibility of success."
He paused and made a decision: "I will not explicitly support any of you, but I hope to see the results if you carry out your plan thoroughly."
Then, he shut up and said nothing more.
Song Zheng then stood up and bowed again: "Your Excellency's words are enough. I will not let you down."
He stood up and said, "Boy, please leave."
The two peak ancestors quickly stood up and left together.
The three of them walked out of the bamboo door step by step. The boy caught up from behind and presented a paper bag with a smile: "This is what my master gave you."
Song Zheng took it and took a look at it, and smiled happily: "I would like to thank you for your generous gift."
The boy chirped and said: "The brewing of this Zizhu Ling tea is very particular. The water temperature cannot be too high. When the best spring water boils for half a cup of tea, then remove the fire and let it stand for half a cup of tea. In this way, the water temperature is just right. Then..."
Song Zheng wrote them down one by one, but Liu Chengfei must have been waiting on him to drink them after he returned.
The boy was afraid that Song Zheng would spoil his master's good tea, so he kept talking for a long time before finishing his talk, then bowed to him, turned around and ran back.
The three of them walked on the spacious road, and the two peak ancestors were still in a dream.
After a long time, Lu Wanmin suddenly jumped up: "I paid homage to His Excellency Mr. Hui Yi in person!"
Qi Bingchen finally let out a sigh of relief: "Senior Zhenguo, he is indeed unparalleled in his style."
