Up to now, Li Zheng's understanding of the war riding system has become more and more profound.

As time went on, his thinking gradually underwent some shifts.

When he first came to this world, he was uneasy and had the idea of serving others and succumbing to it for the rest of his life. Then he abandoned it and wanted to chase freedom.

Earlier, he thought that freedom was to be in that position, to do whatever he wanted, and no one dared to dictate.

But after ascending to the throne, he found that the country was a drag.

At the end of the day, it's still not free.

But now, he is gradually realizing the essence of life.

In the final analysis, there is a bottom line to the pursuit of freedom. Confucius Ziyun: Do what you want without exceeding the rules, this is freedom. Under the framework of certain rules, do what you want, this is true freedom.

The small people have the freedom of the small people, and the officials have the freedom of the officials, as long as they are within the scope of the rules and their hearts are open, they will be free.

However, this is only freedom in the narrow sense.

The essence of life is the desire to evolve!

What is evolution, as far as Li Zheng understands, this is the pursuit of freedom, which is freedom in a broad sense. This is to start from itself, break one frame after another, and pursue freedom outside the framework!

This framework is not an artificially created framework, not a law, nor a social class, but a shackle that heaven and earth naturally give to life.

The evolution of life is a process of breaking this shackle and pursuing great freedom.

And Li Zheng feels that the war riding system is the greatest assistance to break the shackles given to living beings by heaven and earth. Moreover, Li Zheng also clearly realized that the war riding system is not assisted by one person, but by civilization!

Yes, in civilization!

The evolution of civilization as a whole. It is not only the evolution of Li Zheng alone, but the evolution of everyone!

It's a great goal!

Just as Li Zheng once said, everyone is like a dragon! What is a dragon? Not a beast, not a livestock, not only in great power, but also in noble virtue!

Maybe one day, one day. Li Zheng's Origin Empire, everyone is a god, everyone is a thinker, a philosopher, everyone lives in harmony, the Origin Empire, will become a real 'civilization'.

Thinking of these in his mind, Li Zheng looked longing.

This is very difficult to achieve, so to speak, illusory. But isn't it also a goal?

Moving towards this goal forever is a kind of motivation. Some time ago. Li Zheng feels that life is boring and lazy, and now, he has this goal and this motivation.

However, in Li Zheng's opinion, the war riding system gave him an excellent starting point, but. The Warhorse system is not a panacea. At least, in terms of thought, virtue. In terms of social foundation, it is difficult to help Li Zheng.

It's up to him to do it himself.

It is the most effective means to draw the essence from other civilizations as nourishment for their own development.

"There are many non-governmental organizations and sects in the No. 3 world," Xun You said: "These non-governmental organizations and sects are factors of social instability. Governor Xun Yu is already working on this issue. It can be summoned to collect the Dharma skills of these sect organizations. Then gather the people who are good at this kind of method in the third world, and work together with the Imperial Martial Arts to see if they can draw some advantages—even if they can't, they should be able to develop more combat skills. ”

Li Zheng nodded slightly, and shook his head again: "Battle qi is the embodiment of the origin of life. This is fundamental. Cultivating battle qi can enhance a person's lifespan, which is extremely significant and extensive, and can be embodied in any person. Internal forces do not. Moreover, the power of battle qi is also far stronger than the internal force. As for the skills of using internal forces, hehe, I don't pay much attention to them. I just think that this internal force may have some advantages that we don't know, and see if it can be integrated into the battle qi to make the battle qi advantage more obvious. ”

After a pause, he continued: "I agree with Gongda's proposal, just do it, collect the internal force method, gather talents who are good at this way, and study and study with the martial arts of the empire, and set up a special department under the research institute." After all, now that the empire is in World No. 2, once it gains a firm foothold, it will come into contact with more and more civilizations, and different civilizations will use power in different ways, so they will be collected and used for research. ”

"Yes!"

"Speaking of which," Li Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "I estimate that the empire needs to study more things, so simply set up a relevant research department together." For example, energy, the energy utilization technology of the Shuiyuan civilization, is very powerful, and the empire is far behind in this regard. For example, in terms of language, culture, thought, and so on, research departments can be established to study the characteristics of these different civilizations, so as to achieve the purpose of extracting their essence. ”

After talking about this matter, Li Zheng shifted the topic to the No. 3 world.

At this stage, World No. 1 is difficult to develop due to environmental factors. As for World No. 2, it has only just opened up. What can really quickly strengthen the empire's heritage is the third world.

Therefore, Li Zheng attaches great importance to it.

"In terms of government affairs, I won't say much about the third world. I believe in Xun Wenruo, and I also believe in your Government Council. Let me say a few words about the military aspect. ”

Li Zheng said: "Needless to say, Meng Yuan is all Huyi, no different from the Xiongnu and Xianbei at the beginning, and they will be killed if they are killed." And Zhao and Song, whether it is race, or even cultural inheritance, although they are different worlds, they are all similar to empires, and I have a sense of identity. ”

"The number of troops sent by the empire to World Three is only 50,000 now." Li Zheng said: "50,000 troops, if you want to fight, it is completely enough, and no one in the third world can stop it." But the area of the No. 3 world is not small, only 50,000 soldiers and horses are guarded, and I am afraid that it will not be able to turn around. So what I mean is to gather all the troops of Zhao and Song, cut out the old and weak, take their strength and strength, and use them first. When the situation stabilizes, we will gradually train and change our defenses. ”

"And, in terms of ideas, there needs to be a lot of publicity. It is necessary to make the people of World Three identify with the Empire. In other aspects, I will not say more, there are high-energy and high-yield crops, there are strict laws and regulations, and there is a relaxed and harmonious environment, which presumably no ordinary person has an opinion on. Follow the history of World Number Three. The era they live in now is about a thousand years after the former Han Dynasty in that world. We can start from here to promote the truth of the same clan and the same clan, which must be more acceptable. ”

Xun You and the others nodded approvingly.

"In addition, I don't know if Wen Ruo has a mature idea about how to deal with many non-governmental organizations in the No. 3 world. I would like to make an opinion here, and after the public is distributed, it will be conveyed to Wen Ruo. These non-governmental organizations are indeed a factor of social instability and must be eliminated. How do I get rid of it? I have already given some answers before - those who are virtuous and capable should be assigned to the research institute. ”

"If there are those linked to Buddhism and Taoism, take their sages, and after the assessment. Incorporated into the Ancestral Cult. As for the rest, it can be incorporated into the mercenary system. These civil society organizations, some of which resemble rangers, are just right for the industry. ”

"As for the disobedient, don't worry about it, just slaughter it."

A meeting that lasted half a day.

Li Zheng discussed many ideas with the ministers thoroughly. And then it's time to implement it.

Next, the empire is about to move quickly.

After all. World No. 3 involves a large area and population, which is more than the Imperial Origin World, so it is impossible for the Government Council to pay attention to it.

At the same time, the ten brothers and sisters of Li Ji, who were still staying in World No. 3, also received a clear order from their son Li Zheng - go back to the empire immediately!

World No. 3, Zhao Song Palace.

"It's happening. Daddy was angry. ”

Li Ying pouted, looking scared.

"Do you dare not go back? Younger sister? The third Li Shuang glanced at her.

"Do you dare?" Li Ying snorted: "Daddy will definitely beat your ass." ”

"The same goes for you!"

The two sisters began to quarrel.

"Just the two of you." The eldest sister Li Jin glared at Li Shuang and Li Ying, and the two little guys immediately shut up.

"It's really over." The third Li Hong cried with a sad face: "Dad is not afraid, he is afraid of his mother!" ”

Li Ji shook his head helplessly: "It's almost the New Year, how can you not go back?" ”

"Let's go." Li Jin looked cold: "Go back this time." By the way, bring the Zhao and Song royal families back together. ”

"Hmm."

As the ten siblings spoke, they came to a palace.

The soldiers guarding the entrance of the temple saluted and pushed the door open.

Li Ji walked in, it was empty and a little cold.

Turning around the main hall, in the apse, is the house arrest place of Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Zhao Yun has stayed in this palace since he was placed under house arrest by Li Ji, and he hasn't taken half a step for so long. I'm just writing and drawing all day, and I look a little at ease.

Now, Zhao Yun's face is a little pale, he hasn't seen the sun for a long time, and his blood vessels are clearly visible.

Seeing Li Ji come in, Zhao Yun put down the brush and didn't speak, just looked at him.

Li Ji smiled and said, "I received an order from my father that I must go back." This time, I will take you to the imperial origin world with the Zhao and Song royal families. ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was refreshed for a while, and then like a deflated ball, he went soft and sat down.

"The day has finally come."

He was under house arrest here, he hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and this time he could finally see the blue sky and white clouds. But it also indicates that the centuries-old dominance of the Zhao and Song royal families in this land has been officially stripped away.

After that, he will no longer be an emperor.

Maybe if you're unlucky, you'll die a miserable death. If you're lucky, you can still be a commoner.

Li Ji observed his words, smiled, and said, "You don't have to worry. Although my father was resolute in killing, he was more broad-minded and did not kill indiscriminately. The emperor of the former Han Dynasty, isn't he living well now? What are you worried about? ”

Zhao Yun nodded weakly.

"You wait a while, and after all the important people of your Zhao family are gathered, we will set off immediately." After Li Ji finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the palace.

Behind him, there was a faint sound of crying, and he couldn't help but be silent.

A dynasty ended like this.

And the grievances of the end, Zhao Yun's crying may be the best and most normal interpretation of this ending. (To be continued......)
