Chapter 101: The King and the Holy Maiden

As we all know, this world, Long, or the Tian Yuan Continent, has four main countries, the Land of Snow and the Country of Wind located in the Eastern Continent, and the Country of Flowers and the Country of the Moon located in the Western Continent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Among the four major countries, the Moon Country is the largest in area, followed by the Snow Country, the Flower Country in third place, and the Wind Country adjacent to the Snow Country last.

Snow Country, located in the second largest country, under the royal capital, has 36 prefectures, 144 counties, and a total of 1,728 counties similar to Lausanne City in the country.

The king is the administrative hub of the whole country, the highest administrative unit, and is the direct domain of the king, which is the so-called foot of the Son of Heaven.

Under the royal capital, there are 36 states divided according to the region, and the highest chief executive is the governor.

Under the state, depending on the situation, it has one to seven counties. The county magistrate is the chief executive of the county.

Under the county, according to different geographical conditions, it has jurisdiction over one to twelve county seats, and the county order is long.

Under the county seat, there are also detailed divisions such as towns, villages, and villages, so I won't go into too much detail here.

Lausanne City, where Nanyan is located, is one of the seven county towns under the jurisdiction of Gaoyang County, which in turn is one of the three counties under Yuntai Prefecture.

The geographical division and bureaucratic system of this world are still relatively close to ancient China, but it also has its own unique features.

That's the King's Choice.

The kings of one country and the kings of four countries in this world are not the ones who have won the throne with their own hands or inherited the throne from their ancestors, but are "chosen by heaven" in the true sense.

Every king is a providential and cannot be passed on to his heirs.

It is not the king himself who determines the succession of the throne, but the saints of each clan.

The four tribes of wind, flower, snow and moon, each of which has a saint daughter (also known as the head of a clan) who is similar to the spiritual leader, and the saint is also known as the fairy of the sky, and is the spokesperson of the supreme god "Emperor of Heaven" left in the mortal world.

Starting from the first saints, each generation of saints is selected by the previous generation of saints themselves, and after the heirs are determined, the first saints will pass on their lifelong cultivation and all their memories to the next generation of saints, which is also the so-called inheritance ceremony.

The inheritance ceremony is generally three years, and after three years, a new generation of saints is born, and she has the memories left by all the saints of the previous generation and the cultivation passed down from the previous generation, from the first saints to her generation, ancient things, and knows everything.

The reason why the saints are awe-inspiring, in addition to their sacred status, there is another important reason, that is, with the inheritance of memory, they also inherited a wisp of immortal power from the first saintess, and according to legend, the immortal power comes from the supreme god "Heavenly Emperor"

The four clans, the four saintesses have the only four wisps of immortal power in this world, and in front of the immortal power, even those who have already entered the peak of the god level do not dare to offend easily.

Immortals have different paths, and saints with immortal power are naturally different from mortals, and after becoming saints, they must dedicate themselves to this country and to the main god "Emperor of Heaven", so so far, countless generations of saints have maintained pure bodies until death, and since the moment they were chosen as saints, their mortal fate has been completely cut off.

The first generation of saints was created by the hands of the creator god "Emperor of Heaven", and each subsequent generation of saints was chosen by the previous generation of saints in accordance with the will of heaven.

And the monarch who rules a country is chosen by the holy woman who represents the will of heaven.

Each generation corresponds to a monarch.

The saint chooses a person with "royal energy" from among all living beings and bestows the "royal seal".

The chosen king will be picked up by the royal capital, officially ascended the throne, held the ceremony of the emperor of heaven, and became the king of a country.

In this sense, the influence of the holy woman on a country is sometimes greater than that of the king, in order to limit the power of the holy woman, there are the following regulations from ancient times to the present: after the new king ascends the throne, the new king will in turn confer the title of "Yuansuke", a position comparable to the "Dazai" who is above 10,000 people under one person in the court, but has no real power.

Motosuke was in charge of the king's private affairs and could not participate in court affairs.

In addition to assisting the king as a motosuke, the holy woman is also the supreme leader of a religion, in the eastern continent, such a religion is called the temple, and the holy woman is the highest priest (high priest) in charge of the temple, in addition to managing the daily operation of the temples throughout the country, the king's daily worship and other activities are also presided over by her.

Because of the slight cultural differences in the western continent, the temple is called the temple, and the supreme leader of the temple, the holy woman, is also called the great sage.

After the king is appointed to ascend the throne, if he becomes the king of the Holy Ming, under his governance, the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain are smooth for three hundred years, the king and the holy woman who chose him as the king can become immortals, and without accepting the heavenly calamity, he can enter the immortal nationality and fly directly to the immortal realm.

Not only that, the ministers, female officials, and the king's family who were once loyal to the king can have the opportunity to fly to the immortal realm together and enter the immortal family, that is, one person who has attained the Tao and ascended to heaven.

This is also the reason why every time the king is elected, the heroes of the world are in a commotion.

Martial artists can still cultivate and break through the god level flying immortals by themselves, but if the literati want to ascend to immortals, they can only squeeze their heads and strive to make the holy woman choose to be the king, or become an official of the court and the central government to assist the Ming monarch.

In this way, once the king "attains the Tao" and ascends to immortality, it is possible for the courtiers to ascend to immortality together.

Of course, if there is "enlightenment", there will be "loss of morality".

There are only a few truly enlightened kings in history, and many of them have been diligent in serving the people for decades, and then they have become increasingly lazy and even debaucherous.

In addition, the lifespan of ordinary people in this world is at most in vain, and those who are chosen as kings, even if they are not Yuan cultivators, can easily live for hundreds of years, because the royal seal given by the saint also contains a trace of immortal power, which can make their physique undergo earth-shaking changes, and it is not a problem to live for three or five hundred years.

The king of the Dao will take a kind of courtiers and dependents to ascend to the immortal realm.

The king of the lost way will not be so lucky, not only the king himself, but even the holy woman who chooses him will accept the punishment of heaven.

When the country is under the governance of a faint monarch, the people are complaining, **** unbearable, and even desolate beasts are rampant, "Providence" will judge that the king is unreasonable, and the king of the unrighteous will get an incurable disease, and his body will become weaker and weaker, and countless ulcers will be born on his body until he dies.

And the saint who chose him would receive the same punishment and die of illness with the king.

At the beginning of her illness, the saint could sense that her limit was approaching, so she would choose the next generation of saints at this time of year, and after passing everything on, the king would die with him.

After the birth of the new saint, she began to choose a new king and assist him in re-governing the already chaotic country.

Today's Snow Country is facing this situation.

The current king of the Snow Country, King Liao, reigned for 87 years, and since five years ago, he has no longer been in the early dynasty.

Now that the government has been seized by the son of King Liao and Dazai, the government and the opposition are in a miasma, and the royal power is in danger.

A year ago, there were rumors that the King of Liao was sick and unreasonable, but it was never confirmed.

Now, the Holy Maiden Fengyi Fairy has publicly announced the acceptance of the heir, that is to say, the King of Liao is terminally ill, and the Fengyi Fairy herself is probably also sick, so she hurriedly looks for the heir.

In other words, there are still three years left for Snow Country at most.

Three years later, the King of Liao and the Fengyi Fairy who assisted him will be martyred, and then the Snow Country will fall into a situation of no owner, if the new saint chooses the new king as soon as possible, it is fine, if not elected for a while, then the Snow Country will be completely chaotic.

Without the control of the central king, the states are divided and ruled according to their own powers, and it is easy for civil war to occur, and once a civil war breaks out, the entire snow country will be plunged into a war.

As a rule of thumb, it takes at least three years for the next king to be chosen after the birth of a new saint.

If so, this blank three years will become a disaster for the snow country.
