I solemnly kowtowed to the god of the night, and my heart was mixed.

In an old voice, he continued: "You need to know that responsibility and power go hand in hand. The priests of the world will support you with all their might, but the power and respect they give you must also protect them when you become empress. They are the foundation on which you sustain your faith and domesticate your people. ”

Before I became an empress, they supported me, and after I became an empress, I came to protect them. It's a fair deal.

In other words, faith and power go hand in hand.

I nodded, "That's nature." ”

He added: "Faith, this is an invisible blade, like the wind. The wind can tear through houses, the breeze can carry flowers and rain, and there are also those that are imperceptible and permeate the hearts of mortals. ”

As I savored his words, I felt more and more the mystery of this power. To the imperial power, the foolish people are like worker bees in a hive, tired and tired just to carry food for the empress. If they are too smart to control, but if they have been instilled with such thoughts since childhood, no matter how smart they are, they will not rebel against the emperor.

I thought of Xiao Wan's loyalty, of the women who did not dare to step forward and make promises in the face of Jin You, of those palace attendants and secret guards, of Luanlu's male pets, and of those beggars with patches in their clothes......

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and they treat all things equally, but they arrange a staggered fate. And the people have to be like leeks to be better managed, isn't it?

I only felt that something was wrong, but I was helpless, and my expression involuntarily became solemn.

Individuals, families, clans, landlords, fiefdoms, court factions, and then entire territories......

Each organization has its own coordinating force. The family needs to be governed by family and filial piety; The family needs loyalty, honor and disgrace and fame; The landlord's lease enabled the tenant to pay rent on time; The prince of the fief can make his own rules; The court factions are mixed with old ideas and interests; And the imperial power was actually tied up with faith.

Am I helping them, or are they helping me?

Thinking of this, I started to get confused again.

He suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?" ”

Afraid?

I shook my head and inhaled deeply: "It's not so much fear as awe." I am in awe of this power. ”

Li Tianjing shook his head: "Don't forget the question I asked you before." Why you? ”

I shook my head: "I don't know now." ”

Li Tianjing: "But you always need to figure it out." ”

I nodded, "Yes." I only dare to do it if I think about it first. It's like when I'm on a night road, if it's too dark, I close my eyes, hold the horse, and let it find its way by itself. If I can see the road at dawn, then I will walk on my own. ”

"Life is nothing more than that." Li Tianjing slowly got up from the futon, walked to the place where he wrote the signature, and wrote four words to me by the dim candlelight: "Oh, what you want." ”

I took the paper and looked at it.

In the dim light, I could barely see the words "Gong Fengyan smiled". The white-haired old man deliberately drew a circle on the word "work".

The "way" of the assay refers to the priest, and the assorted hint is likely to be the emperor. Luo Heng claimed that there was an edict and that he was a doctor...... Let's look at it according to the old department of the Luan Dynasty......

"Artisans? Artisan? ”

Li Tianjing nodded.

But the merchants in the city were driven away. Even if I were to use this as an incision to go around, I would have to find someone......

I scratched my ears and cheeks: "Where do I find it now?" ”
