Chapter 188: The Holy Grace of the Saints

Previous Chapter

After Lu Bing's disappearance for many years, it was rumored that Lu Bing was a saint, and Tianlong Linfan took the saint to ascend to heaven and become an immortal. ―. {2} {3} {w} {x}] The Holy Emperor is also the title of the people, and the officials of the two dynasties called Lu Bing the Emperor of the Holy Ming Wuquan, and the people called him the Holy Emperor.

Lu Bing's residual prestige is still there, and the people are always nostalgic for the new unified country that was full of vitality and prosperity. Although there are now two emperors in the new country in the north and south, and the passage has not been blocked, it is tired compared to the new country back then, and it is not as vigorous as before. Lu Bing ascended the throne again in Beijing and announced to the world that the king had returned. And Lu Yi's Southern New State regime initially scoffed at this, claiming that this was just a ploy of the Northern New Kingdom, and it was an overkill. But when they saw Lu Bing and the Lan people who were still loyal to Lu Bing and rushed back from Suomu Peak, they believed it.

Lu Bing began to recover power without much effort, and Lu Yi also believed in his father's arrival at this time, and although he made military precautions, he still went to see Lu Bing in person. At this time, Lu Yi, who was used to the position of the emperor, was entangled in his heart, and the people's hearts were all revering Lu Bing and yearning for Lu Bing to govern, and he insisted on going his own way, only afraid that he would go against the people of the world and eventually go to ruin, and if he forcibly refused to recognize it, he would turn against his father. Not only did this make Lu Yi unbearable, but also his inner respect and even awe for his father.

But in this way, he handed over the military and political power and became a prince with limited power again, which made Lu Yi particularly unwilling. At this time, Qingfeng came from South America to congratulate Lu Bing's return and recognize the legitimacy of Lu Bing's regime.

Lu Yi was discouraged, and went to South America with Iga Qingliu, his concubines, and many courtiers who were willing to follow him. Duan Qingfeng has no children, and he still hopes that Lu Yi can become his heir. Although Lu Bing loves Lu Yi very much, he treats him as his own. But he didn't agree with Lu Yi's governance, so he didn't stop this matter, and let Lu Yi choose by himself.

At the end of the nineteenth year of the new country, the new country was unified again, and the throne was returned to Lu Bing. Lu Bing, on the other hand, began to rectify the factional disputes, and although the old ministers were promoted to criticize the factional disputes, they did not settle accounts after the fall. It can be said that it is a complete release of previous suspicions, and at the same time, it still adopts the standard of meritocracy and appointment. Focus on sorting out the officialdom in the south that has been changed by Lu Yi, and the wind of freedom is rekindled in the land of China. The people all ran to tell each other.

Sometimes governing a country is not only based on ability and strength, but also personal charm and luck play a very important role in it. In just one year, Lu Bing has rejuvenated the already tired new country like a young man. And the technology that only made slight progress began to advance by leaps and bounds again at this time, under the leadership of Lu Bing. The new country began to take off again.

The former order was restored in the officialdom of the new country. With the contrast of Lu Yi's rule, both the officials and the common people felt Lu Bing's greatness and benevolence, and they cherished this saint emperor given by God even more. Although this kind of gratitude may be diluted or even passed with time, and people will forget it after more than ten years, this is the support and gratitude of these ten years, and it may also be an achievement that many emperors cannot exchange for in their lifetime.

Cui Ling was named the Duke of England, hereditary replacement, to repay Cui Ying for saving his life. At the same time, Lu Bing built tombs for Cui Ying and Meng Xueqing that exceeded the royal specifications. Even Lu Bing himself did not build the imperial tomb in advance, which was reflected in the two of them.

After Lu Bing's disappearance, the Lan people packed their bags and returned to the Heavenly Cave in Suomu Peak, and after Lu Bing returned to power, they still let them return to their homeland. Because only there belong to the real Blue people. This group of loyal and pure warriors should not serve the Crown, they should return to that idyllic homeland, where they will have true freedom and detachment.

In the twenty-third year of the new country, Lu Bing's body has become old, and the hard work all day makes him look older than his actual age, and thanks to the life-saving move of the stagnation of the closed age in those years, otherwise the current old state will only come earlier. Today's Lu Bing is sixty years old, which is really a long life for the history of a generation of emperors. The family is in the world, the family is in charge of the world, and as the master, he has to worry about the world, and the emperor will be white in one day, not to mention Lu Bing, who is the person who is responsible for the world and the people in the world? It is not too much to describe Lu Bing with the words "dedication" and "hard work".

The common feelings of birth, old age, sickness and death, Lu Bing naturally does not really think that he is a saint who can live forever because of what others call a saint. He understands that people are not as good as heaven, even if he has calculated everything, but there is still a change in the situation, and there must be a system that can be relatively stable and long-term in order to make the new country continue for generations. And there is not much time left for Lu Bing, he has to race against time, and he has to race against his life.

At the end of the twenty-third year of the new country, Ji Lianhong died, and the Half Moon Country fell into the hands of Neuer, and before Neuer had not covered the throne, Lu Bing easily sent troops to destroy the former Japan, which is now the Half Moon Kingdom. Over the years, no matter whether Lu Bing is there or not, who is in power, and the half-moon dog has been rescued and semi-blocked, they are very different from the powerful new country, so there is no suspense in this war at all.

Ji Lan was set up as an impatient, which can be regarded as an explanation to Ji Lianhong, and Neuer was given poisoned wine, and Tuyi was stabbed to death as soon as he held the position of first assistant. Ji Lan's title is meaningful, but it is not right, Lu Bing feels that his brother understands in his heart, but he has lived a very poor life in a daze, but this is a family matter that cannot be taken care of.

Originally, Lu Bing didn't want to fight the Half Moon Kingdom, but Ji Lianhong sent a letter before his death, telling Lu Bing that his birthday was approaching, and he should take it back. After reading this letter, Lu Bing made up his mind to wait for Ji Lianhong to take back the Half Moon Kingdom. Isn't it just that Ji Lan is a bad seed, so Lu Bing just wants to save Ji Lianhong's face, even if later generations scold him, he can only say that he is unkind and unjust, and he will not guess about Ji Lianhong's private life, and he has preserved the dignity of his brother, and it is not easy for him to act like this as an emperor. Therefore, Ji Lan was still a marquis, but it was not hereditary, and it was announced that Neuer was also too sad and died.

In the twenty-third year of the new country, Lu Bing first attacked Jinyiwei. Everyone said that the new country was a country of great brocade clothes. Even the emperor's clothes were not golden dragon robes, but fiery brocade robes. All departments have the shadow of Jinyiwei, and the emperor is also from Jinyiwei. The military uniform system, intelligence supervises the military, and every important department of the country needs the cooperation of Jinyiwei. But Lu Bing knows very well that such a situation is deformed and distorted, and what does it matter to rely on the intelligence department and regulatory department to enforce the law, and Jin Yiwei's power is too great, whether it is himself, Lu Yi or the minister who assists Lu Xun. They are all masterpieces of a generation, and only the Jinyi Guards under them can be normal Jinyi Guards.

What about in the future? Lu Bing couldn't say for sure, he always felt that if this continued, one day the cholera dynasty would disrupt the discipline. So Lu Bing gradually reduced the power in the hands of Jin Yiwei. Adopt a dual system of management, that is to say, each yamen has two people who have the final say, supervise each other, supervise each other, and assist each other in their work. At the same time, the workload and power of the three divisions will be increased, so that they can handle cases independently without the guidance and assistance of Jinyiwei. In addition, the three powers are mutually supervised and constrained by the cabinet. Increase the binding nature of the law and discipline, and force people to obey the law based on the law instead of human supervision.

After the implementation of the dual system, the number of Jinyiwei gradually decreased, and Lu Bing gave money and not power to those meritorious officials, and did not give fame and profit. As for individual people, Lu Bing also killed them. This is not ruthlessness and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, or the sentence is benevolent. As a king, Lu Bing can't be merciful to everyone, otherwise he will be unkind to everyone. These brocade guards know too many secrets, and they also know too many dirty things, and they can cry ghosts and gods at will, and if they are in the people, they will be used, so they must be killed and then quickly cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Twenty-three years after the founding of the new country, the Jinyiwei of the new country became an intelligence agency directly under the cabinet, which was only responsible for internal defense and external intelligence espionage, one was to maintain the stability of state power and prevent the breeding of opposition forces, and at the same time to ensure homeland security. In short, the brocade guards of the new country are gradually declining, and the new country has also stepped out of the shadow of the big brocade country.

In the twenty-seventh year of the new country, Lu Bing's health became weaker and bedridden, and when his health improved for a while, he immediately went to the court to change the system and invented a new word that the people had never heard of, called constitutional monarchy. Under the constitutional monarchy, Lu Bing became the last emperor in the traditional sense of the new country, and from now on, all policies were no longer conveyed by him Lu Bing, but discussed by the cabinet.

The monarch is hereditary and retains the throne forever, and the state spends two percent of its annual tax revenue to meet the needs of the royal family, which can be described as inexhaustible glory and wealth, except for the guard of more than 1,000 people, the royal family no longer has any military strength. Although they lost their military power and part of their political power, each generation of emperors of the imperial family had the qualifications to participate in the cabinet and participate in the formulation of national policies.

Prior to this, Lu Ping promoted a democratic system, in which officials at all levels were elected by the people, and the ten cabinet ministers were elected by popular vote. All men and women who are more than the age of the weak crown can participate in the public election, and no one can stop the public election, and violating the people's right to vote is a violation of the Constitution, and everyone will be punished. This makes everyone feel that they are the masters of the country, because the cabinet is a group of people who are in charge of the country, and they are elected by themselves, which makes everyone feel that they are the masters of the country, and the rights of the people are reflected here.

There are ten cabinet ministers in all, and they rack their brains to make plans for the benefit of the people in order to be elected, and of course only nine are busy, because there is one cabinet member who is also the royal family does not have to work hard, he will always be a cabinet member. Cabinet members are elected every six years and are in danger of stepping down at any time. In addition to the royal family, which is supported by national taxes, the rest of the titles that have been crowned are issued by the royal family, as for whether it is just a false name or really has benefits, it depends on the mind of the helmsman of the Lu family.

Lu Bing has returned the government to the people, and he has also achieved it for thousands of generations, because Lu Bing understands that only by giving up can he get it, and the Lu family seems to have given up the imperial power, but in fact, this kind of non-fighting for power with others is the real eternal throne. It is precisely because they do not have too much military power and political power that they can let future generations enjoy endless glory and wealth, and the emperor is no longer the pinnacle of power, they are just a symbol of the national spirit, the foundation of national unity, is a symbol, the symbol is nothing, so it will not be destroyed at all. This is Lu Bing's wisdom, and the country under his hard work will naturally be enjoyed by future generations in the safest way.

In the thirty-third year of the new country, seventy-year-old Lu Bing held a tiger-headed sword, standing in front of the imperial tombs of Meng Xueqing and Qi Xiaorui, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion, Yang Feiyan was also old, she sat not far away and looked at Lu Bing peacefully. Lu Bing's tiger-headed sword is a replica, and the real sword was destroyed in the war with Bai Yu. Over the years, he has been using the imitation of the tiger head sword as a crutch, Lu Bing, who has put down government affairs, has improved his health, he no longer works for the country, and the fate of the new country is in the hands of the people of the new country themselves, and Lu Bing also believes that the eyes of the masses are bright.

In the past two years, Lu Bing still likes to wear a brocade robe and a red robe, and he is writing a book, the name of the book is "The Great Brocade Clothes", but he doesn't know how the book should end. He would often come to the tombs of the two ladies, stand for a long time and smile knowingly, and then carry Yang Feiyan back to the palace with him.

"Taizu, Taizu." A few children shouted behind them, ranging in age from seventeen or eighteen to four or five.

"Grandpa." Someone shouted again.

Lu Bing turned around and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?" "This is Lu Yi and Lu Xun and Lu Fu's sons, they are their own grandsons, Lu Yi has ascended the throne in South America, and the old man Ji Lianhong has already traveled west, but the relationship between father and son has eased, Lu Yi often brings his son back to see his father and their grandfather. The next heir to the throne of the Lu family is Lu Fu, which is something that Lu Bing has decided earlier. Lu Xun started his own business, and the business was doing well, he was fascinated by this kind of bloodless war, in which he felt a different kind of sword and sword. And Lu Play is obsessed with martial arts, and now he is famous in the rivers and lakes, let alone Lu Yi. They have gone through ups and downs, and they have all looked down on this throne, and the family harmony ended happily.

Lu Bing turned his head, and the grandchildren ran towards him, and the smile of Yang Feiyan in his eyes was so warm and happy. Lu Bing felt that the sun's rays were dazzling, and the sunlight shone on the bodies of his four sons in the distance, just like himself when he was young. Lu Bing slowly fell, and in an exclamation, he collapsed violently, but the corners of his mouth had a happy smile, this life is enough, if there is still the rest of his life, Lu Bing still chooses to spend it like this.
