Chapter 86: Are You Really Unmoved (4000 words, two chapters in one)
Following Xia Yubing, Lin Bei walked into the palace of Qian Kingdom.
Lin Bei didn't know where Xia Yubing was taking him.
But she probably wouldn't be angry and want to harm herself.
After all, he still has a backer like Luo Qingming.
If he wanted to harm her, then she would have to consider Luo Qingming's existence.
Luo Qingming has one advantage that makes Lin Bei most at ease, that is, Luo Qingming is very protective of his shortcomings!
"We're here."
Finally, Xia Yubing and Lin Bei stopped in front of a tall tower.
This tower is five hundred meters high!
In ancient times, it was very difficult to build a 500-meter-high tower.
But think about it carefully...
This is a world where immortals are cultivating, and the technology cannot be used by cultivators, so it seems reasonable to build a five-hundred-meter-high tower.
What surprised Lin Bei the most was...
Logically speaking, for such a tall tower, I should be able to see the top at a glance.
But I have been wandering around the palace of Qianguo these days, and I haven't noticed it at all.
In other words, there is a magic circle set up next to this high tower, covering this high tower.
"Let's go up."
Xia Yubing stepped forward and walked into the tower.
Lin Bei naturally followed suit.
Inside the tower is a long staircase leading upward.
When you stand at the bottom and look up, you can't even see the top.
On both sides of the stairs, there are portraits of officials one after another.
Then these portraits are bounded by each emperor, representing the era led by each emperor.
Xia Yubing just led Lin Bei up step by step.
Then Xia Yubing didn't say anything and just walked up.
Lin Bei naturally kept his mouth shut very wisely.
Walking in this tall tower, you can feel a solemn and solemn feeling without realizing it, as if you are walking through the corridor of an era.
Finally, when approaching the top of the tower, Lin Bei saw Xia Yubing's portrait.
Then there were some ministers led by Xia Yubing.
These ministers are all famous officials in the country today, and this is not the end yet.
Later, during the period when Xia Yubing was in power, many portraits of officials would be added to it.
Climb to the top of the tower.
The high wind in the summer morning is somewhat cool.
Looking around, you can take in the entire Qianguo Imperial Palace.
Looking away, you can see the prosperous imperial city.
The golden dragon of mountains and rivers is constantly coiling in the sky, guarding the destiny of the Qian Kingdom and suppressing the dragon veins of the Qian Kingdom.
Just standing in this place, looking down from above, a feeling of heroism arises in my heart.
"I remember that at that time in that small wine beach, I asked Mr. Lin how he felt about the Qian Kingdom today.
At that time, Mr. Lin told me the example of his father's business, and euphemistically said that the Qian country was extremely powerful and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Mr. Lin, do you still remember?"
Xia Yubing spoke slowly and looked at Lin Bei with a smile.
"Of course." Lin Bei bowed.
"Later, I complained to Mr. Lin again, saying how the Qian Kingdom is doing now.
Mr. Lin, do you remember it?"
Xia Yubing asked again.
"nature."
Lin Bei nodded.
"It hasn't been a few days, and my memory is not that bad yet."
Xia Yubing smiled slightly and walked to the edge of the tower. As long as Xia Yubing took another step forward, she would take a leap of faith from this tower.
The woman put her hands in front of her body and looked into the distance.
The high wind blew the skirt of this girl, who was only eighteen years old.
The gold-embroidered skirt is constantly floating like tassels.
The skirt was caressed by the breeze, clinging tightly to the girl's graceful figure.
Her long black hair was blowing in the wind, and the faint fragrance of her hair lingered on the tip of Lin Bei's nose.
At this time, Xia Yubing was solemn and solemn, with a touch of the skillful gentleness of an ordinary classical woman.
"It's a bad world, but it's also a good world."
With his back to Lin Bei, Xia Yubing spoke slowly.
"Qian Kingdom is not so much a dynasty as it is a huge sect.
In the Qian Kingdom, most officials have more or less backgrounds from other sects.
Eighty percent of officials are monks.
They seek benefits for the sect behind them.
And the benefits they seek are made at the expense of ordinary people!
I'm very unhappy.
But with the current situation, it is impossible for me to clear out all those damn officials.
Otherwise, there will be counterattacks from various sects, and the Qian Kingdom will be in ruins.
So, it's very sad. Now I see who is unhappy, so I can only draw one faction to fight against the other. If it doesn't work, I will assassinate him, and the assassination will not leave any evidence.
Otherwise, I will have to give an explanation to those sects!
Bah! Go to hell!"
As he spoke, Xia Yubing spat crystal saliva toward the bottom of the tower...
No one knows which unlucky person will pass by below.
"Actually, Your Majesty, you have already done a good job."
Seeing Xia Yubing's angry look, Lin Bei said.
Lin Bei didn't just comfort, but told the truth.
In this world, let’s not talk about other continents.
As far as Lihuo Continent is concerned, most of the dynasties are just puppets of a certain large sect.
It can be said that those dynasties are just tools of the sect in the mortal world, and even the emperor’s accession to the throne requires the sect’s permission!
This is because in this world, strength is everything!
The establishment of countless dynasties in the mortal world was all the work of the sect.
Because the sect's monks' management of mortal affairs is too cumbersome, which is not conducive to spiritual practice.
But monks need resources to practice.
As a result, the sect established a dynasty, and then the dynasty managed the worldly affairs for the sect and plundered resources. The sect had absolute control over the dynasty it established.
What's even more outrageous is that if some sect envoys come to "go on a mission", these envoys will even name the emperor's wife and daughter to sleep with him!
But Qianguo is different.
In other words, the country of Qian was the same at the beginning, but later on, the country of Qian gradually underwent earth-shaking changes.
At the beginning, the Qian Kingdom was born out of a large sect and was a puppet of a large sect.
The founding emperor of the Qian Kingdom was a direct disciple of that large sect!
But since the third leader of Qian Kingdom, who was Xia Yubing's grandfather's grandfather's father, Qian Kingdom has become different!
All this also comes from the fact that a direct disciple of that large sect slept with a concubine of Lie Zong...
That sect was called Yanhuo Sect, and it was one of the most prosperous sects in Lihuo Continent at that time.
Of course, this sect has completely disappeared now.
But when the envoy of the Yanhuo Sect went to sleep with the concubine of the Lie Sect.
This sleep is not a voluntary offer, but a kind of adultery.
None of the emperors of the Qian Kingdom took the initiative to give away their daughters. They were all staunch warriors of pure love!
But there are some uncertainties about their concubines.
Lin Bei read about the adultery between a concubine of Emperor Lie Zong and the envoy of Yanhuo Sect from a book at that time. Lin Bei didn't know whether it was true or not...
If it's true...
The emperor of Qian Kingdom is too miserable. Why do I feel that the emperor of Qian Kingdom is always being cheated on...
Of course, there must have been emperors from many dynasties who had been cheated on, and they were all given away to their daughters.
But Emperor Qian... I can only say that their wives couldn't help but feel lonely sometimes.
And after Emperor Liezong's wife committed adultery with the envoy, Emperor Liezong became so angry that he wanted to break off diplomatic relations with the sect!
In fact, Emperor Liezong also wanted to break off diplomatic relations with the sects above him very early on!
Although you are the ones who established the Qian Kingdom, I have been working for you in the mortal world for nearly 20,000 years for three generations! It’s enough to plunder resources now!
Then Emperor Liezong went to war with the sect.
At that time, the strength of the Yanhuo Sect was several times that of the Qian Kingdom!
But what I didn't expect was that Emperor Qian actually slept with the then-sect leader's wife.
Then the two cooperated internally and externally, and finally the Lie Sect annexed the Yanhuo Sect at that time, and then became the largest dynasty in Lihuo Continent in one fell swoop!
Then Emperor Liezong worked hard to govern, relying on the foundation of the sects he annexed at that time.
Rang Qianguo not only became the largest dynasty, but also the largest sect, ushering in the greatest prosperity in Lihuo Continent and even Jiuzhou since ancient times!
"Young Master Lin should know about Emperor Liezong."
Just when Lin Bei was recalling this period of history.
Xia Yubing spoke slowly, bringing Lin Bei back to reality.
"I know."
Lin Bei nodded.
"The common people in the market have basically heard of Emperor Liezong. To a certain extent, Emperor Liezong is even higher in the minds of the people than the founding emperor."
"Cackle, cluck..."
Listening to Lin Bei's words, Xia Yubing lightly covered her mouth and let out a hen's laugh.
"That's natural.
At that time, the founding emperor of the Qian Kingdom was nothing more than a puppet of the Yanhuo Sect.
At that time, the people of Qian State were either living or dying.
Only Lie Zong truly cares about the people!
Lie Zong was born in the marketplace as an illegitimate son, and finally returned to the palace after a series of reasons.
When Lie Zong was in the market, he saw too many unfair things. Especially under the exploitation of Yanhuo Zong, the people of Qian Kingdom had an extremely difficult life!
Even a monk from a small outer sect of the Yanhuo Sect can do evil in the mortal world! He doesn't have to pay for his death! He commits rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil! But he doesn't have to pay any price!
Lie Zong was thinking at that time!
Why are those monks so high and mighty, while ordinary people are worse than livestock!
Therefore, Lie Zong has long wanted to change all this.
In fact, the envoy of the Yanhuo Sect did not commit adultery with the concubine of the Lie Sect.
It's just that Lie Zong made an excuse at random.
After all, to betray the Yanhuo Sect, you need a reason.
After completely annexing the Yanhuo Sect, the Lie Sect formulated a series of measures.
The most important one is that monks who commit crimes within the territory of Qian Kingdom are guilty of the same crime as the common people!
The lives of the people at that time were indeed greatly improved.
Until now, every household has enshrined Lie Zong as a god!
However, my ancestor did not do enough!
The Qian Kingdom is a dynasty, but it is also a monk sect!
Most ministers are still controlled by monks.
Moreover, the monks lived for a long time, which further led to the solidification of officials in the Qian Kingdom.
Although in the end Mingzong carried out reforms, implemented the inspection and examination system, and recruited talents.
But many officials began to have sects get involved behind the scenes.
This has resulted in the current situation!
Now, officials are getting help in order to rise to prominence, and various sects are colluding in pairs in order to gain benefits from the Qian Kingdom!
Compared with tens of thousands of years ago, people's lives have indeed been greatly improved.
But this is far from enough.
Today the lives of the people are still as worthless as grass!
And this is not to mention other dynasties.
And even within the territory of Qian Kingdom, monks oppressing the people often happened.
Those oppressed people endured all this silently."
After saying that, Xia Yubing turned around again and faced the country:
"I! I want the people of Qian Kingdom to live with their heads held high! No longer humble when they see the monks!
I want all the people to stand up! Let the monks not dare to massacre the city! Let the monks enter the town and not dare to fly high!"
Listening to Xia Yubing's passionate words, Lin Bei was also very moved.
Xia Yubing's ideals are very lofty, but it is definitely not easy to do this!
But looking at the girl's back, Lin Bei felt that maybe this woman could really do it?
"so……"
Just when Lin Bei was thinking about whether this girl could become an eternal empress in a few years, Xia Yubing turned around again.
"I currently need a child~"
Xia Yubing smiled at Lin Bei.
"Eh?"
Faced with this sudden change in painting style, Lin Bei couldn't help but be stunned.
A second ago I was lamenting your ambition.
As a result, the next second, you want me to have a baby with you...
You said so much just because you want me to give you a monkey?
Is your map of Yan State so long?
"Yu Bing has already told Mr. Lin before.
Yu Bing needs to have a child.
emmm…
It's better to be a boy.
It's not that Yu Bing doesn't like girls.
The main thing is that if you give birth to a boy, those courtiers can shut up.
None of the princes dared to act rashly. After all, the future country has been born. Is it possible that they still dare to shake the country?
As for me, it doesn’t matter if my identity is known to everyone in the world.
I can also use the reason that the prince is young to govern more legitimately.
If Young Master Lin wants to practice cultivation, then I will do my best to help Young Master Lin.
Furthermore..."
Xia Yubing stepped forward and gently slid her fingertips across Lin Bei's chest, which looked very sultry.
Raising her head, Xia Yubing looked at Lin Bei with silky charm:
"If the young master and I cultivate together, I will carry the destiny of the Qian Kingdom, and the young master's realm will surely advance rapidly..."
As he spoke, Xia Yubing threw out a magic bead, blocking out everything from the outside world.
The top of the tower is made into a small world where the inside can see the outside, but the outside cannot see the inside.
Xia Yubing took off the gauze on her shoulders, slowly untied the tie that tied the girl's waist, and her white shoulders were glowing with the morning sun.
