The third-generation pope sat cross-legged alone in the wide hall, facing the statue of the emperor. He was chanting a scripture called "General Theory of Relativity" in his mouth, and suddenly his heart moved, and the dark hall suddenly became dark.
It became brighter. He stretched out his hand and looked at the faint fluorescence on his hand in surprise.
That layer of light is warm and soft, not as cold as moonlight, nor as hot as the summer sun, but like the winter afternoon sun, which only makes people feel warm, but if you feel it carefully, it feels like
Not that simple answer.
"This is?"
The Pope closed his eyes, felt for a long time, and then walked out of the hall. He stood at the door of the hall and looked at the sky in the distance. The starry night sky gradually disappeared, and the world became blurry and clear in front of him. His surroundings
Everything gradually faded away, and he seemed to be thrown into the void.
In an infinitely distant place in front of him, there was a big sun rising from the undulating energy tide. First there was a little blush, then a brilliant light, illuminating the boundless darkness. Without thinking, the Pope suddenly understood
, he murmured to himself: "This is the Emperor!"
Illuminated by the light, his body gradually melted, and his consciousness fell into darkness but quickly reorganized. When he woke up again, he was already standing at the door of the hall again, as if all the strange scenes he had just seen were gone.
It was just an illusion. But when he raised his palm, with just a thought, a bright light lit up from his palm.
The pope suddenly realized that the sun he saw just now was the emperor, but it was not the emperor. He lowered his head and looked down the mountain. A veil was lifted from the original world in front of him, allowing him to peek into it.
The reality that was once hidden.
He couldn't help but burst into tears, "God, you are finally willing to answer our prayers!"
But if Chen Cheng were here, he would definitely sneer at it and think that these things have nothing to do with him.
The emperor's departure first shocked the entire Kyushu, and then the news quickly spread in all directions. Thanks to the development of radio technology, the incident quickly spread around the world. Newspapers everywhere printed bold and bold letters on their front pages.
The font reported the incident, and everyone knew that things had changed.
On the other hand, the priests of the Truth Religion were overjoyed, thinking that the Emperor had returned to the sky and left his divine power in the human world.
Ten years later, princes and vassals from various places began to annex each other. However, because there were still many barbarians in the surrounding area that needed to be civilized, the annexation war was not intense at first, just some small battles. But as time went by
, when most of Europe and Africa are filled, the scale of the battle will become larger and larger.
Someone lamented in the newspaper: "This is the beginning of another eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty."
But the facts proved that he still had too good ideas. In less than a hundred days, the battle had escalated to a situation where hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of cannons were firing at each other.
After Liu Sheng became emperor, he endured it for a long time. Only when Chen Cheng left this world did he become the true master of the Yinhan Empire. However, the political structure of three provinces and six ministries had taken shape, and twenty legions were distributed around the world.
I can't get in either.
Even the perfect city on the top of the mountain only believed in the emperor himself and only showed respect to the emperor's son. It was far from being obedient. Liu Sheng was full of ambitions. When he was born, Chen Cheng was already a big man.
General. Later he served as the Crown Prince of Wei for ten years and the Crown Prince for several decades. Whenever others praised his bravery and knowledge, they would add, "But with the General/King of Wei/Emperor
In comparison, it’s still a bit worse.”
He has always wanted to prove that he is stronger than his father, so he has never relaxed his demands on himself. Now that he finally has the opportunity, how can he let it go? He fought with various forces in the court for six years, and then spent another
In five years, the army's generals were changed, and the Yabing and Xiliang Dragon Riders were firmly in their hands.
Then, he found that his body was suddenly aging. His body, which was as strong as a boy's, began to decay within two or three days. Liu Sheng, who had seen this situation before, certainly knew what was going on, but
But he couldn't accept this fact.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Liu Sheng, who was lying on the bed, let out a desperate cry, "Give me another two years, and I can bring Tianzhu into China's territory. Give me another four years, and I can knock down all of Europa! Just die like this.
Yes, I just can’t accept it! Father, father, why do you do this to me?"
But no matter how unwilling Liu Sheng was, no matter how many famous doctors he invited and how many expensive drugs he used, he could not reverse the fact that his body was rapidly declining. A month later, Liu Sheng died in Luoyang and was succeeded by his legitimate son Chen Tao.
Bit.
Chen Tao is the eldest son born to the granddaughter of Liu Sheng and Zhao Yun. He has lived in affluence since he was a child. Although he also has extraordinary strength and intelligence, he is not as ambitious as his father and is bent on leaving his mark in history.
After Liu Tao succeeded to the throne, he settled down for less than two years before he began to build palaces, attract beautiful women, and built the magnificent Babel Tower in Luoyang.
The Babel Tower is a symbol of the empire's peak national power. It covers an area of more than 3,000 acres and is about 100 feet high. It is a taller building than the emperor's statue behind the perfect city. Starting from the fifth year when Chen Tao ascended the throne, a total of ten years were spent on it.
It took seven years to complete the construction of the Tongtian Tower. After it was completed, he climbed to the top of the tower, looked down at the city of Luoyang with a population of more than five million, and proudly said: "I am already greater than my father and Emperor Taizu!"
A minister admonished: "Your Majesty, these spectacles are harming the country!"
Chen Tao said angrily: "I can afford it no matter how much it costs!"
At this time, the empire's finances were already very developed, and banknotes were circulating all over the world. In order to build the Tower of Babel and a series of palaces, the Ministry of Revenue used all its power to print money, and private prices soared. Many people ridiculed in newspapers that the water released by the court was worse than the flood.
.Chen Tao killed more than 20,000 people and exiled more than one million people on the pretext of ridiculing the government.
After the Tongtian Tower was built, Chen Tao ordered a grand celebration to be held near Luoyang to commemorate his great achievements. Tens of millions of money were burned every day, and the whole of Luoyang became a sea of joy. Singing and dancing, feasts on the sea and sky, this is
A city of bliss that will never fall into darkness.
Chen Tao also said with emotion: "Although Emperor Taizu is smart, he is still a little worse than me. He can't think of such a simple way to stimulate the economy. My father is the same, what is the use of learning so much physical and chemical knowledge? Invest so much money.
Isn’t it a waste of energy to go into research and development? If there is any problem, just print money.”
When Chen Cheng was here, he only had two dishes to eat, and even if a robe was old, he would keep wearing it until it was worn out. Although Chen Sheng wanted to surpass his father, after all, he had been taught by Chen Cheng's words and deeds for many years, and his life was also difficult.
He has always been very simple. When he was in power, he vigorously developed education and invested a lot of money in scientific research.
But all this came to an abrupt end after Chen Tao came to power. The Ministry of Revenue gave up its courage to print coins. At the craziest time, four billion coins were released in a year. It was always one thousand coins. Four billion coins was an astronomical figure.
.In that year, Luoyang’s luxury reached an unimaginable level.
It was in that year that the Nanyang Fleet, which was ordered to suppress the rebellion in Java, took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion. There have been one after another uprisings over the years, but they were all suppressed by the imperial army. The admiral of the Nanyang Fleet was beheaded.
He killed the supervisors and led a fleet to bombard Guangzhou, turning most of Guangzhou into ashes.
Subsequently, the Beiyang Fleet transferred back the squadrons from Hawaii, Sasebo, and Vladivostok, and fought with the Nanyang Fleet in the Taiwan Strait and Penghu area. The result of the naval battle was that the Nanyang Fleet was almost completely destroyed, and the elite of the Beiyang Fleet was also lost in the battle. 60
More than 10,000 tons of warships and armed merchant ships sank to the bottom of the sea. More than 20,000 people were killed or missing in battle. The empire's navy had suffered heavy losses.
The Indian Ocean Fleet took the opportunity to declare independence and occupied Jiaozhou, Java, Malacca, the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent and other places. The vassal states in America and Europe also declared their independence, and even the Shinrikyo announced that they would no longer accept the command of Luoyang. Because these people are all under the guise of
In anger, Chen Tao, who launched a rebellion under the banner of the emperor, ordered a ban on all writing and records related to the emperor.
Subsequently, the emperor formed an expeditionary force to attack the rebels in the south. Although the whole world was rebelling, the situation in the south was more urgent. The south had been the main source of tax revenue for the imperial court decades ago, and without the spices from the south, the emperor
It doesn't taste good to eat every day.
Relying on the industrial foundation of Guanzhong and Luoyang, as well as the support of the Beiyang Fleet that had barely recovered its strength, the imperial troops once entered Jiaozhou, and then fell into a long tug-of-war in the jungle of Jiaozhou. The truth in Europe and the Indian subcontinent
The believers responded to the Pope's call and prepared their own dry food to go to Jiaozhou to fight the imperial army.
The war lasted for a long time, with both warring parties shouting "For the Emperor" and "For the Emperor" at the same time, and endless blood was shed in the jungles of the south. There was no winner in the battle ahead, but
The imperial troops had no choice but to withdraw from Jiaozhou and return to Guangzhou.
When bloodshed and sacrifices continued on the front line, Chen Tao ordered that in order to win the war, the people must bravely stand up and shoulder their due obligations. He dissolved the Congress that had been formed since the Chen Cheng era, and lifted the restrictions on workers and farmers.
Guarantee. This is an absolute benefit to the capitalists under the imperial court.
Various contracts are becoming more and more harsh, so much so that there is such a thing as "bonded labor". The so-called "bonded labor" means that all the income from labor belongs to the boss, and the workers cannot make any remarks to resist or discredit the factory. If the workers have anything
For methods to improve the process, the patent must also belong to the factory.
Even if you don't want to work in the factory, you can't go to other factories, otherwise, you may be sent to the mountains to mine, or directly shot. Anyway, there are many people in the empire now, and you don't sign such a contract
, and there are still people coming to sign. One factory owner said proudly: "It's hard to find toads with three legs, but there are more people with two legs."
This was like a shot in the arm for the empire, and achieved very good results in a short period of time. Because it only required a small amount of food expenses for the workers, the bosses made a lot of profits, and the country also benefited from this.
After receiving a lot of money, officials and bosses joined forces to suppress all the protests, saying that those people were sent by foreign countries to subvert the empire.
In fact, many officials are bosses, and many bosses are also officials. There is one part of you, one part of me, and one part of you, so it is not clear at all.
