Chapter 303: Empress Again
Jian Mingyue didn't want to occupy the land as the king, but just wanted to maintain order for the time being and not let the people suffer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But in the eyes of the imperial court, Jian Mingyue's move is no different from rebellion. First drove the county officials away, then appointed the officials himself, and resisted the heavenly army when the imperial army was conscripted, and killed the general of the imperial court, what is this not a rebellion? So Jian Mingyue became the most wanted criminal in the world, with a reward of 30,000 taels of silver!
Things have developed to this point, and Jian Mingyue can't cry or laugh. She just wanted to make some merit, how could she become a rebel? Although she doesn't care whether she rebels or not, she really doesn't have the heart to do so!
It's just that now, if she doesn't rebel, she has to rebel. If she leaves, she is not afraid of what the court can do to her, but those poor scholars recruited by her will inevitably be exterminated by the Nine Clans. And those people who are grateful to her just because she has maintained normal order and lived a peaceful life, I am afraid that they will also be put on the hat of a bandit, or at least sold into slavery. For their sake, Jian Mingyue can't pick on them.
But if she doesn't pick a child, she will be chained to death here, how can she travel the world? How do I earn merit?
Just when Jian Mingyue was in a dilemma, Yan Chixia actually came out of Lanruo Temple and came here to find Jian Mingyue. As soon as she saw Yan Chixia, Jian Mingyue could be regarded as the object of her grievances, and after telling her what had happened, she asked him to help come up with an idea.
Yan Chixia said embarrassedly: "Let you abandon the people who follow you, don't say that you don't want to go, even if you can be ruthless, you can't do this." If you do this, it will inevitably cause the person who died because of it to become angry with you, and if you have a grudge against you, you will have karma, which must be avoided. And if you want to keep doing it, the risk is very high. Although there is an old saying, it is called 'good practice in the public gate', and being the emperor is also in the public gate, but what you have to do is not to inherit the throne, but to change the dynasty, and it is inevitable that you will kill countless lives. In this way, you don't know if you have more merit or more karma. ”
Jian Mingyue said in surprise: "Senior Brother Yan, listen to what you mean, are you supporting me in rebelling?" Do you want me to be a female emperor? ”
Yan Chixia laughed and said, "What about being a female emperor? Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in history, was actually the throne obtained by usurping the throne of the dynasty, which can be said to be improper. But if you are personally defeated, who can say that you are not in the right position? At that time, your reputation in history will far surpass that of Wu Zetian, and you will become the greatest female emperor who has never been seen before or since, what's wrong? ”
Jian Mingyue said disdainfully: "Come on, you and I are both cultivators, what we want is immortality and freedom, and I haven't put the throne in my eyes yet." If you're interested, why don't I give you the spot, and I'll do my best to assist you, what do you think? ”
Yan Chixia waved her hand again and again: "I can't do it, I'm not the emperor's material." I want to kill those corrupt officials when I see them, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, if the officials have to be honest and honest, how many people can be officials? If I were to become emperor, I would have to kill all my ministers. You are different, those bullies and bandits have obediently re-behaved under you, which shows that you have the talent to be an emperor. ”
Jian Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Why do I think you want to use me to end the troubled times, and you don't care at all about whether you will cause karma or not?" ”
Yan Chixia's face became serious, and she said: "If you can end the troubled times and let the people of the world live a peaceful life, of course your merits are immeasurable!" As for karma, as long as you pay attention to it when you are fighting, try to kill as little as possible, and never kill prisoners, you won't have much karma, and you don't have to care about it at all compared to the merit you get. The most dangerous thing about being an emperor is not in battle, but after sitting on the throne. The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, and his words and deeds will affect the whole world. Maybe a casual decision by you will make hundreds of people miserable, and this is the greatest source of karma. ”
When Jian Mingyue heard this, she refused to be an emperor anymore, and said, "In that case, I won't be suffocated to death?" A cultivator pays attention to a person who is not suffocated, but when he becomes an emperor, he has to take care of a lot, what else can he talk about without suffocation? No, no, no, I will never be this emperor. ”
Yan Chixia spread her hands and said, "If you are inappropriate, who can be?" You say that in the whole world, who else can find out a person like you who is generous-minded, has a sense of justice, and has ruthless methods, who can use people, can lead troops to fight, and can also dismount to govern the people? If you don't do it, the world doesn't know how long it will be chaotic and how much suffering the people will suffer! Besides, you are now the leader of the anti-thieves in the eyes of the court, if you don't do it, what will happen to these people under you? ”
Jian Mingyue glared and said, "How did I not know that I still have so many advantages?" How do you know? ”
Yan Chixia said: "Your reputation for rebellion has been spread for a long time, why am I only here now?" I'm secretly inquiring about what you're doing! ”
Jian Mingyue said helplessly: "Senior Brother Yan, why are you eyeing me?" Can't you find someone else? Have you ever heard of a cultivator who rebelled? The risk is too great, that will ruin the immortal path! Don't hurt me, okay? ”
Yan Chixia sighed and said, "If you can still practice quietly, do you think I will come to persuade you to rebel?" The problem is that you yourself have put yourself in the maelstrom! If you want to escape now, it's too late! If you retreat, you will have a lot of karma, and the only way is to keep moving forward and win in the face of danger! ”
Jian Mingyue knew that what Yan Chixia said was right, if it weren't for the people who followed her, she would have left alone. Now she regrets it immensely, why did she have to contain those bullies and bandits? When you surrender to them, kill those who have sinned too much, and let go those who have sinned too much to die, so that there will be nothing left. Why do we have to cling to the fact that the capital crime of the lesser sin can be avoided from the living crime, and we have to let it go when the punishment is enough? As a result, there were too many people under him, and he caused so much trouble.
After thinking about it, Jian Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she had a way! Didn't Yan Chixia say that the biggest danger to becoming an emperor is after sitting on the throne? Then after she sits on the throne, she can't do anything? When the time comes, you will play with the constitutional monarchy, delegate all power to the prime minister, eat and play, cultivate the Tao, and don't care about anything. Any administrative measures are formulated by the prime minister and his ministers, and at most they will supervise them. In this way, the good deeds that can earn merit will be intervened, and the uncertain ones will not be left alone, and the karma will be borne by them. In this way, not only will you not provoke karma, but you will also earn a lot of merit, so why not?
Okay, that's it! However, Yan Chixia, a bastard, had to push himself to be the emperor, and he didn't want to be happy, so he said: "Senior Brother Yan, it's okay if you want me to be the emperor, but you have to help me, otherwise I won't do it." ”
Yan Chixia said happily: "Okay, I promise!" I was originally a head catcher, and it was because I couldn't get used to those corrupt officials that I retired to the mountains and forests. Now that I have the opportunity to reinvent the wheel, of course I'm here to help! Say, what do you want me to do? ”
Jian Mingyue said: "My biggest problem now is that there are too few talents under my command, and there are no people who can be fully trusted. There are only two people in our sect, you and me, and we have no background at all, so don't mention it. So, now I want you to find someone you can trust to help me! ”
Yan Chixia was embarrassed: "Someone you can trust? Where do I find it? When I walked the rivers and lakes, I offended people and didn't make any friends at all. Later, I resigned from my official position and begged everywhere, but I begged for help, and I had no friends. …… That, does Ning Caichen count? ”
Jian Mingyue nodded and said, "Count, of course!" It's not clear what that kid is capable of, but he has a pure temperament, which can be trusted. ”
Yan Chixia patted her thigh and said, "Okay, I'll set off immediately to get this kid back." ”
Jian Mingyue said again: "Wait, as far as I know, Ning Caichen has made an amazing friend now, and the two live together, called Zhuge Wolong." This person's talent is highly regarded by many people, and it should not be in vain, so you invite him as well. ”
Yan Chixia was surprised: "Zhuge Wolong? This man, I know, is indeed a great talent. It's just that this master disappeared many years ago, how could Ning Caichen get mixed up with him? ”
Jian Mingyue sighed: "This is luck! Ning Caichen, this kid, don't look stupid, in fact, he has great luck. ”
Yan Chixia said: "Do you know this? If you've gone back in time and know a lot of things, why did you get yourself to this point? ”
Jian Mingyue smiled bitterly: "I didn't take this road last time, how do you know that if you change the road, you will become like this?" ”
Yan Chixia also shook her head: "Okay, don't say more, I'll go to Ning Caichen." ”
After sending Yan Chixia away, Jian Mingyue also began to prepare. Since you want to formally rebel, you have to follow the rules of rebellion. First of all, there must be a regular army, and the militias under her command are not armies at all, and they must be reformed. Then there is the administrative system, and the framework must be laid before the forces under his command are formed, and the province will be troubled when the system will be reformed in the future. Also, there are a lot of things to be busy, which is really troublesome.
Jian Mingyue is a person who has been an empress once, and she should be familiar with the road again, but I don't know if she has changed her temperament by cultivating the Tao, and she has no enthusiasm for dominating the world, so she will feel troublesome about anything.
Yan Chixia's movements were fast, and she came back in a few days, and brought back Ning Caichen and Zhuge Wolong. Because of Yan Chixia's rescue, Ning Caichen did not stay in prison for long this time, which can be regarded as an escape from prison. And Zhuge Wolong was originally living in seclusion in prison, but he was forcibly taken out by Yan Chixia, which made him a little dissatisfied, and his attitude was not good when he saw Jian Mingyue. But Jian Mingyue didn't care, and as soon as she saw Zhuge Wolong, she directly appointed him as her prime minister, and asked him to form an administrative team on his own and be fully responsible for all administrative affairs.
Zhuge Wolong had no choice but to live in seclusion in prison, he had to waste time in prison because he was full of talent but could not display it. Now that Jian Mingyue has given him such a great trust, it has suddenly aroused his long-dormant ambition, and he can't wait to do it! (To be continued.) )
