Chapter 69: Symbiosis and Co-contention

But those ancient and closer to the real history are recorded in ancient books. Therefore, she was more eager to cultivate her divine sense to find out the information in the jade slip.

Now, she's got her wish.

In this way, the sea of books traveled for ten days.

She combined the jade slips with the colorful records in the history books, and finally pieced together a rough piece of history that she wanted to find out the most.

This is the relationship between the monarch and the national teacher.

This was a strange relationship that she had never touched or heard of in her previous life, and she was particularly curious about it because of Yun Kui.

Originally, when the monarch held a ceremony to seal the temple and worship the temple and heaven and earth, in addition to announcing to the world that he was the lord of a country, he also had to take over the inheritance of Yuan Li from the previous generation or the previous dynasty.

The monarch is here, and the Yuan force is there.

And the duty of the national teacher is to dispatch Yuan Li for the country.

During the Haoli Empire, most of the positions of national teachers came from the imperial family, or simply the emperor held two positions, such as the Haoli Emperor is a typical example. However, whether you are an emperor or a national teacher, you have to take care of extremely heavy official duties, and unless you are particularly energetic, you can't take care of everything.

And in order to obtain Yuan Power to enhance themselves, the majority of cultivators also had to lower their original transcendent stature to serve the country.

It was precisely because of the appearance of Yuan Li that they were tied to the chariot of the state.

During this period, royal power was unprecedentedly solid.

However, with the sharp decay of the aura of heaven and earth, the laws of the world have also undergone major changes, and the most important one is that more and more people have lost their qualifications to practice, and only those who are friendly with aura can touch the threshold of the supreme avenue, and this can no longer be inherited.

In other words, the children of a practitioner may still be practitioners, but with a greater probability, they will become ordinary people. In this case, it is likely that the descendants of the king have no talent for cultivation, and there are very few practitioners in the entire royal family. If the quantity is insufficient, the quality will be difficult, and the national teacher is a position with high standards and strict requirements.

What's more, if it goes down for one or two generations, the royal family may completely become an ordinary person.

But the vitality is still there, and it can only be distributed by the most powerful cultivators, the national teachers.

And from the beginning of the founding of the country, Yuan Li has become one of the most important factors in the survival of a country, so the existence of the national teacher is indispensable, regardless of whether there are cultivators in the royal family or not. A great national teacher can even exert additional power with Yuan Li on his own.

A new system came into being: for the sake of the state, if there were no practitioners in the royal family, then the king had to appoint a national teacher to gain insight into the heavens, lead the practitioners to defend against foreign enemies, and distribute the country's resources.

And without the natural coagulant of "blood", the relationship between the monarch and the wild national teacher becomes particularly delicate.

The National Teacher is the ultimate dream and honor of all practitioners. No one doesn't want to become a national teacher, even if they are limited by royal power, they can have a higher status, be allocated more yuan power, and be one step closer to the supreme avenue-

There are few opportunities for the upper body Tianxin.

On the one hand, the king needs a national teacher, and on the other hand, the king has to guard against the national teacher, because the latter is too powerful, and it will probably not be more difficult to kill a mortal than to pinch an ant to death. History records ironclad facts, which show that their fears are not unfounded: there have indeed been times when kingdoms have been usurped and ruled by national teachers, and the original royal family has been suppressed or slaughtered.

Therefore, the restrictions on national teachers have evolved over the years, but in general, they are roughly as follows:

One is to control their relatives, friends and family. For example, Mo Tizhun's children and grandchildren are all in the Jin capital, and more than 600 people are placed under the nose of the King of Jin.

The second is that the national teacher and his subordinates are not allowed to enter the office, are not allowed to be knighted, and are not allowed to intermarry with the scholars, but can only marry with the Shu family. This is a force to prevent the national teacher from participating in the administration, to prevent him from colluding with the powerful and emptying the monarch's power.

Third, in the distribution of Yuan Li, follow the principle of grasping the big and letting go of the small. Major scheduling, such as urging wind and rain, stopping disasters in agriculture, and blessing combat power, all require the joint assignment of the monarch and the national teacher before it can take effect, and in the deployment of individual combat power, the national teacher enjoys partial autonomy.

Fourth, and the most important one, all countries have secret methods that force the national teacher to be loyal to the monarch. This kind of secret is often known to only two or three people in the world, and it is generally not written in the history books openly, let alone publicized by the parties involved.

Feng Miaoqun flipped through dozens of old books before discovering a short unconfirmed brief description: One hundred and seventy years ago, the Qi Kingdom was seized by the national teacher, because the monarch of the Qi Kingdom did not have high requirements for the national teacher, and once he rebelled, he only lost his whole body cultivation for seventy-two hours. During this time, the national teacher could not dispatch Yuan Li, and he also lost the power of self-preservation. However, as long as this person has the intention to rebel and arrange it in advance, there is still a way to survive these seventy-two hours.

By the way, after the national teacher usurped power and ascended the throne, he changed the country's name to "Yan". That's right, it has developed into the most powerful power in the world so far. And it can flourish for a while, in addition to the favorable time and place, political communication and harmony, there is also the most important point:

Today, King Yan, like Emperor Haoli, concurrently serves as a national teacher as a king. The contradiction between the national teacher and the central authority has been temporarily resolved, and Yan can seek development wholeheartedly.

In the past, after the successful usurper of power became the monarch, in order to prevent future generations from following his example, the position of national teacher was bound by more complicated and powerful rules. After more than ten generations of trembling, a powerful cultivator was finally born to serve as both the monarch and the national teacher.

Seeing this, Feng Miaojun rubbed her sour eyes, and finally let out a long sigh:

In the final analysis, the dispute between the monarch and the national teacher is a game between human beings and cultivators. After the withdrawal of the demon and the demon, only this pair of dance partners remained on the stage of power. Even if he is limited by Yuan Li, with the ability and pride of a cultivator, how can he be willing to curl up under ordinary human beings?

However, neither the quantity nor the quality of practitioners can be compared with those of a thousand years ago. Taking Anxia as an example, with a population of more than 2 million, of which less than 200 are cultivators, the proportion is less than 1/10,000, and other countries are no different; in terms of ability, the strength of more than 10 cultivators today can be described as elite, and the strength of dozens of people can be called heroic. This is not comparable to the various big names in prehistory who turned the world upside down at every turn. It is precisely because they no longer have an overwhelming advantage that ordinary people have finally really stepped onto the stage of power.

In this way, there is instability inside and outside. To really solve this contradiction, perhaps only by waiting for the day when the aura of heaven and earth completely decays.
