Chapter 32: Downward
The Federal Republic of China, the eastern capital of Luoyang, the North Palace of the Forbidden City, the Imperial Garden Wanshou Lake, and the Changxiu Pavilion of Yongchun Pavilion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the winter of 2837 (1996 in the imperial calendar), the snow was white and the mountains and rivers were white.
On the frozen lake outside the window, with little snow, the father and daughter in the pavilion are playing against each other.
"How's he doing?"
The old man pondered for a long time before he left a son, and then asked.
"It's still the same," Liu Li held a child in his hand, staring at the chessboard, as if absent-minded, "everything is in plan......"
"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." The Son of God glanced at his daughter and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The plan hasn't changed quickly......"
Liu Li did not talk, but pondered the chess game, and finally fell into the Central Plains.
The Son of Heaven sighed, "If it were the situation in the past, there were eunuchs and slaves who were big bullies, there were groups of lords and wolves around, and there were powerful countries outside to set up nets to enclose them, I would not choose you to be the princess, because according to your temperament, I will definitely fight with them." And the bottom of the cards in my heavenly hand, there is a little more than self-preservation, but it is powerless to attack. Mountain after mountain...... How many mountains can you climb? ”
"I originally thought that I could only choose a good boy or a good girl, and make myself the prince or the princess, and let them be at their mercy...... But I didn't expect that a Li Enkai would pop up, not to mention the fact that he was born out of nowhere, and swept the acupoints with inhuman divine power, and the accumulated cheats that have plagued my China for 60 years were cleaned up by him by cheating......"
The Son of Heaven looked at Liu Li, who was silent, and said with a smile, "So, in the end, I chose you to become the empress dowager of the Chinese Federation, because the stage that belongs to you has come." ”
"He needs the golden sign of our heavenly family as a cover to gain a firm foothold; And we also need his ability to strengthen the country and rejuvenate the family. And in this yang calculation that we and he both know each other, the key is to see if you can grasp his heart. If we can catch it, it will be the victory of our Liu family, and if we can't catch it, it will be our defeat......" The Son of Heaven continued to sigh, "This is a 'bet' and an ......opportunity in exchange for my unconditional cooperation."
"Originally, I thought that he was the Suzaku divine power, otherwise I would not have been able to explain his success...... But then, I found out I was wrong. What is the magic power of Suzaku, although no one has seen it, but after all, I know a rough idea. And he, although he knows the existence of Suzaku's divine power, but not only that, such as those incredible science and technology, where did it come from? Where did he come from? Some of the strange words, vocabulary, and thoughts that he revealed...... Where did it come from? Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven looked at Liu Li and continued, "Li'er, do you know? ”
Liu Li nodded, but remained silent.
When the Son of God saw it, he smiled, "Li'er, who is he?" ”
"Daddy, he's ......" Liu Li raised his head, looked at his father's burning gaze, and said calmly, "-My husband." ”
The purple-blue flower letter girl had left, leaving only an old man, sitting on the futon, touching his beard incessantly.
"Did I win or lose?"
Opposite the old man, there was a chessboard on the table, on which the chess pieces were staggered, black and white were confused, and they were a mess.

As Li You did not show up for a long time, rumors about the critical illness of the dragon became more and more serious, even to the point that Li Yilong had already died of illness, and the important ministers of the court and the central government concealed the news.
The civil and military dignitaries of the court went to visit the Dragon Pavilion several times, but they confirmed that Li You was indeed (just) sick and was lying on the hospital bed.
As a result, all the affairs of the State Council were handled by the Son of Heaven on his behalf, commanding the civil and military forces and governing the military state.
In the blink of an eye, half a month is about to pass.
The rumors have basically subsided, and the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government have basically adapted to the affairs of the Son of Heaven.
However, the dark tide under the surface of the water is not quiet, but more and more turbulent.
Two thousand years ago, Cao Cheng ruled the world with a dragon, which had a far-reaching impact.
If the dragon is controlled, there is no Yao Shun in the world, and there is no peace, which is the theoretical basis of the dragon system (constitutional monarchy).
Just as in order to obtain a more theoretical and righteous foundation, Cao Zhilong borrowed the ancient system and sages, starting from Mencius's "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light", "Liutao" "The world is not the world of one person, only the Tao is in it", "The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the world." ", "Xunzi"'s "Theory of the Gentleman's Boat and Water"...... But all the ideological expositions that can be touched by the "people-oriented" side have been found out by Cao Yilong, respected and put on the altar.
And that's not all.
able to unite people. There are only two things: a common ideal and a common crime.
As the saying goes, the four irons of life: "Carrying a gun together, sharing the window together, sharing the dirt together, and prostituting together" is actually a concrete manifestation of this kind of thinking.
If it is said that what Prime Minister Cao Cheng did alone violated the etiquette law and was not justified...... So what if everyone in the world was like this?
This means that the law does not hold the people accountable.
Including the change of the country name, from "Han" to "Zhonghua", and even the official promotion of the two-character name in later generations...... Everyone in the whole country is rude, so naturally everyone is respectful and law-abiding, because the etiquette has changed.
- "The Legend of the Ram in the Spring and Autumn Period" cloud, "ridicule the two names, and the two are indecent".
- In the previous life of the earth, the country names of all dynasties and dynasties were all one word, but they were not blind.
- As for the revival of single-word names that have been repeated several times since then, and the dispute between odd and double, I will not repeat it.
This is Cao Yilong's "dilapidated ceremony", which is known as "the dragon customized, the old and the new".
Then, the successive prime ministers and the bureaucracy under them were themselves members of vested interests, so how could they go against their own interests? No, they will only defend their own class interests, and they will only constantly improve it......
- People can go against their own interests, but classes can never go against their own interests.
The difference is a thousand miles.
Since then, China's ideology and culture have begun to take another path.
For example, conservative ideas like Zhu Chenglixue have lost the mass market, cannot become the climate, and cannot become the mainstream.
- For example, the bones of the Rupi method are better used.
- For example, the Liu family, which has succeeded in the eternal lineage, has been praised by the world on the altar and completely deified.
In general, this is a war of old and new ideologies and values.
Moreover, in the past 2,000 years, the Chinese Empire and the Chinese Federation have not encountered dangers, but some of these crises have been overcome by themselves, and some have been overcome by the power of the Suzaku Divine Power Envoy (geass holder).
But some decay is also caused by it, such as the Datong reform 70 years ago.
Suzaku divine power (geass), success is also here, defeat is also here.

Walking on Luoyang's Suzaku Avenue, stepping on the flat ground of metal concrete, looking around at this familiar and unfamiliar city.
The four-legged spider-like police security robot waved its metal limbs, stepped on the clattering rhythm, and passed by forcefully with an electric arc in its mouth.
It looks like a social cleaning robot with a large trash can on four wheels, buzzing with an electromagnetic motor and chasing confetti.
With a wingspan of more than one meter and a body length of 0.628 meters, the Carboniferous ancient dragonfly-like police patrol robot soars through the air.
The two-meter-tall, burly heavy metal armored humanoid robot, with its heavy pace and highly flexible leg anti-joint design, brings excellent performance, and plays the role of a police riot control robot.
Not just Luoyang, but the entire territory of the Chinese Federation, is now full of these metallic masterpieces, patrolling every inch of the Chinese territory and loyally.
- Loyalty to Li You.
Zhou Chongli's afterglow scanned these metallic horrors, his face lowered, and his feet did not stop.
Fengle Building, the first of Luoyang hotels, also known as "the first building in the world", can be said to be the leader of the catering industry of the Chinese Federation since ancient times, the vane, its every move, will attract the attention of the world, follow suit.
Walking into the door, he greeted him, shook his head at him, signaled that he didn't need to step forward, Zhou Chongli walked to the big counter behind the main hall, knocked on the countertop, and attracted the attention of a shopkeeper who was looking down and calculating.
"Ouch!" As soon as the shopkeeper looked up, he saw that it was Zhou Chongli, and he couldn't help but pile up a respectful smile on his fat face, "Zhou Guanren!" How did you get here? By the way, today I came with some fresh Oriental shark fins, but they are all superb, and the 'gold and silver fins' of the small shop are a must, why don't you have some? ”
"No," Zhou Chongli refused with a smile, "I'm going to eat the Eight Treasures Banquet today." As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his cuff, pasted it on the countertop, and pushed it to the shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Zhang took a closer look at this invitation, closed it, and returned it to Zhou Chongli, "Zhou Guanren, Wo Pingju is invited!" ”
Following a service who led the way, I walked through the corridor of Gougou Hui, and finally came to an independent garden, located in the middle of Fengle Building, surrounded by groups and unknown to the outside world. There is also a small lake in this small garden, with a thin layer of ice and some edelweiss, which has a cold artistic conception.
After retiring from service, Zhou Chongli straightened his clothes, and then stepped forward to knock on the door (a modern door knocker, which is used for an electronic doorbell), and after a while, he heard footsteps coming.
"Where? The morning bell and dusk drum, the green light shines alone, the light is endless, the six dusts and six roots and six senses. ”
Hearing this sentence in the door, Zhou Chongli cleared his throat and whispered: "The vicissitudes of righteousness!" Angry eyes and mercy, the sword should be broken, eighteen sons, and three thousand troubled heads. ”
The door opened, and a person walked out of the inside, with a white face and a green beard, dressed in white, and a gentle temperament, but he saw him arch his hand and said, "Brother Zhou!" Come in! ”
"Brother Huangfu, please!"
Zhou Chongli also saluted, and then traveled side by side with Huangfu Yuzhi and walked into the garden.
Stepping on the bluestone path, Huangfu Yuzhi led Zhou Chongli to a small house by the Qingping small pond, this small house is black brick and white, showing the elegance of Qingqi and elegance, it is Woping Ju.
Standing in front of the door, Huangfu Yuzhi suddenly said: "Brother Zhou, I am waiting for a rare Yaxing today, so I should not get drunk and not return!" But you can't be entangled in mundane affairs, and you can't turn off communication! lest they be disturbed and ruined! ”
"Brother Huangfu, please rest assured! I haven't brought any electronic objects with me today, so I won't be disturbed......" Zhou Chongli laughed, "The one surnamed Li can't listen to it!" ”
Huangfu Yuzhi nodded, and then pushed open the door of Woping Residence.
