Chapter 1155: Internal turmoil means external worries
The emperor of the Daji Dynasty fell ill this time. Although he recovered quickly, the impact was far greater than many people expected, especially for several princes.
If I have to say it, it is that this disease has opened up the ladder of chaos. The emperor wants to maintain stability, but cannot suppress everyone.
The Daji Dynasty covers thousands of miles and governs thousands of people. The so-called election system does not allow everyone to elect a new king. The Humane Dynasty does not have this organizational ability, and it is not a Taoist sect with magical powers.
Instead, they select a few counties, send princes to govern them, and examine their ability to govern. The most critical thing is the support of the people in the counties in the end.
The mentality of the people is changeable, and the entire election system lasts as long as nine years. Earlier, you spent several years carefully managing the administration, and the entire county developed rapidly. But in the end, there may be a deviation in the handling of a case, and it will be very serious.
It may attract censure and criticism, greatly lose public support, and then lose the opportunity to aspire to the highest throne.
This time the emperor fell ill, how to show his filial piety has undoubtedly become a major issue for several princes. In the state of uniting the family and the country, asking the people to choose you, a filial son's identity is the best label.
To show filial piety, you usually give some gifts to your father. However, the emperor is as big as the world. Wherever these worldly things are lacking, if you want to defeat the opponent, you must have intention, and this intention requires money.
However, in the past few years of governance, the wealth of several princes has long been dissipated, and all the income gained from the rule has been returned to the people. If it is in the treasury, even mice will feel worried after seeing it.
In order to gain the support of the people, the prince would often propose a series of benefits so that the people would have no worries. The ninth emperor of the Daji Dynasty, Emperor Hui, was a staunch supporter of the welfare system, and he also used this to rise to power.
It got out of hand and has spread to this day.
Welfare can only increase, not decrease, and remain the same, which is a good thing.
When the people get used to your good deeds, they are raised like giant infants, and they are often naive and stupid. Public opinion will fall in that direction.
Unable to provide money, some princes thought of other methods, which was to provoke provocations and fight a moderate war.
If you win, you can not only present a gift to your father, but you can also please the warlike people, win the hearts and minds of the people, defeat the other brothers, and maybe win the final victory.
As the decisive year of the election system is approaching, the Great Extreme Dynasty is experiencing turbulent waves and undercurrents, and the government and the public are becoming increasingly restless. For the vast majority of people, what you have done in the previous eight years is not important. What is important is the last one.
What did you do during the year?
The memory of common people is no different from that of fish, it only lasts seven seconds.
Speaking of which, the reason why this emperor is able to gain such high popularity among the people is related to foreign wars. No wonder his son would choose this path.
When the election system was implemented in the past, this emperor guarded the northern border and faced the invasion of the northern barbarians. Before the army could gather, he took the lead and sternly asked the northern barbarians why they had invaded the territory. He was extremely arrogant and forced the northern barbarians to retreat in one fell swoop.
It has received great praise in the country, and the people are all convinced.
Some unofficial historians say that this war was an exchange of interests between Jin Shang and the Northern Barbarians. Seeing that he only forced the Northern Barbarians to retreat, but did not actually engage in a battle, we can get a rough idea.
There is no real evidence in the end, and the rumors spread by people who are considered losers, no matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter if it is true. If you dare to make transactions and are not afraid of Beilu's regrets and fall into yourself, you can be called an outstanding person.
The other small countries are all average and can be beaten at will, but the Beilu, who dominate the north of the Daji Dynasty, are really unruly.
The prince intends to start a foreign war, first to stir up disputes and friction at the border, and then to create an atmosphere in Zhongdu City. We don’t know the emperor’s intentions, but anyone with a little knowledge can see the thoughts of several princes.
come out.
The east, west, and south sides are fine. If something goes wrong in the north, and the Northern Army marches south, they don't have to occupy the land. Burning, killing, and looting will be enough for the local people to spend several years to recover.
A one-time destruction requires several times or even more time to create.
Chaos has begun, and subordinates are in chaos. I am afraid it will not stabilize before the end of the election system. It is not easy to predict which direction it will eventually evolve.
Talking back to Wu Yi on the West Sea, after annihilating the Golden Dragon of Luck, Wu Yi didn't feel very happy in his heart. Just as the Golden Dragon of Luck couldn't kill Wu Yi, Wu Yi couldn't kill the Golden Dragon of Luck, but he just destroyed it.
It is just an incarnation of the other party. As long as the Daji Dynasty is immortal, the Golden Dragon of Luck will always be there.
But Wu Yi's victory this time, not to mention that it directly caused the emperor's fainting, from another perspective, it is not a sign that the disaster of the Great Extreme Dynasty has surfaced.
Looking at the chaotic beasts on the side, Wu Yi had the intention to leave. However, since he had made an oath before, although it was not binding, there was no need to break it. Anyway, for Wu Yi, it was just a piece of cake.
This wasn't the first time he had done something like this. Didn't he save Taotie before?
Thinking of Taotie, Wu Yi didn't even know how he was doing these days. After entering the Dead Sea, he didn't have time to contact Taotie, so he was carried away by the dead squid into the current Blood Demon Realm. The next step is to find Taotie.
The magic circle that suppresses the chaotic beasts also relies on the power of the earth's veins as its support. It is as difficult as climbing a mountain from the inside out, but it is a piece of cake from the outside in.
When he first came here, Wu Yi guessed that those who suppressed Chaos and those who suppressed Taotie in the past may not be the same people, but most likely they came from the same force!
After the Chaos Divine Beast was freed from its restraints, it roared to the sky and announced to the world that it was free again. It was extremely unruly. If it were an ordinary person, after sneaking out of prison, they would probably want to escape as soon as possible instead of provoking here.
The strength of the chaotic beast is much stronger than that of Taotie. Of course, it has not reached the level of Taiyi Immortal. It is half a step at best. However, with its strange methods, if used well, it may have miraculous effects.
"I feel Taotie's aura on your body!"
Wu Yi just wanted to ask about the relationship between the Chaos Divine Beast and Taotie. Unexpectedly, he asked first. This question also made Wu Yi understand that the two were really connected. His previous guess was that
established.
"I saw a lot of Taotie beasts. I wonder which one you are asking about?"
"There is only one Taotie in this world, why bother to hide it!" The Chaos Divine Beast rolled its eyes at Wu Yi with some disdain. If Wu Yi hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
