Chapter 613: Demon Horse Flame Hoof, White-Hearted Master
Japan's national conditions are different from those of China, and in the change of dynasties in China, every new dynasty established on the ruins of the old dynasty, the supreme ruler, etc., will say that they are ordered by heaven, declare the rationality of their rule to the people, and occasionally make some auspicious ahs or something, indicating that God is taking care of him, and he is the person who takes the initiative to rule the emperor.
Speaking of lofty, it is actually a kind of public opinion propaganda, fooling the people, and enhancing the authority of the king's existence in the way of divine authority of the king, so as to achieve the effect of obtaining righteousness and stabilizing the people.
The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, rules the earth, inherits the authority of Heaven, and deifies the king...... However, one dynasty after another, God's sons inevitably have more.
The situation in Japan is a little different, from a much earlier time, there was a family of emperors who claimed to be of the blood of Amaterasu Okami, forcibly associating people with gods, and then the emperor was the nominal ruler of the land.
Of course, it is only a nominal ruler, and the times have changed, with ups and downs, sometimes the emperor is the real ruler, and sometimes he is a puppet controlled by a daimyo, a shogun, or some other careerist, with a high status and no matching authority, and is used by the real ruler as a tool for public opinion propaganda in order to obtain justice.
However, in the minds of ordinary Japanese people, hundreds of thousands of years of ears and eyes have been passed down from generation to generation, and the emperor is the blood relative of Amaterasu, the most noble person, and his own ruler.
Therefore, most of the daimyo of the separatist side, taking advantage of the troubled times to begin to expand, and after reaching a certain level of strength, they would carry out the act known as Shangluo, that is, leading the army to Kyoto, which was originally equivalent to the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period to win the Central Plains, showing their strength and status.
Artoria naturally won't do that kind of thing, for Artoria, governing the country and bringing a better life to the people is the right thing, and Artoria's identity, Artoria's appearance and Artoria's philosophy are completely shaking the image of the emperor and shaking the foundation of the emperor's lineage.
A force for the benefit of the people, an outsider with a strange appearance, and a daimyo who clearly had no reverence for the emperor would naturally be hostile to the emperor, and at the emperor's call, the vast majority of the daimyo who were hostile to Artoria would naturally unite.
Of course, they are now learning to be obedient, and they can't beat how to break it?!
As for the propaganda of Artoria as an enemy of the gods, this trick was somewhat useful at first, and then it was gone.
Is it to chase faith and live a life of no tomorrow, or to abandon the so-called belief in Amaterasu and the emperor and live a stable and peaceful life? There is no need to think about this at all, the people are ignorant but pursue reality, especially in troubled times.
Faith? I can't even eat enough to care about any faith, let alone in this world, Anews God doesn't exist at all, after all, the heavenly underworld is not any of the myths woven by humans.
Although the people still love Artoria, and the soldiers are loyal to Artoria's personality, it is not good in other aspects, whether it is the nobles who were moved by Artoria's cake, or the people of insight who are hostile to Artoria's identity and appearance, and are dissatisfied with Artoria's "rebellion......
All this has put the state power established by Artoria in a deformed state.
"That's the general situation, it's not that I don't want to find some people to help, but ......" Artoria sighed, revealing a little sadness, "Those capable people are hostile to me, as for those recruited onmyoji and mages, they are very good at dealing with youkai, but it is obviously impractical to let them manage." ”ad_250_left();
No one is available and she has to carry the bag herself, and this is the dilemma that Artoria faces.
Lian and Red Hitomi are in charge of eating buns, and Yingcao is curiously flipping through the affairs that Artoria is dealing with, and the three of them can't help in this regard.
Saying that, Artoria put her trusting gaze on Su Yuan, Su Yuan looked at Qingxing Lantern without moving, he didn't have a problem......
"Hehe, leave these to the concubine, although there is a problem, it is not a big deal, after all, in terms of strength, Artoria, you can have the absolute upper hand, and you will have the capital and time to slowly farm."
Qing Xing smiled lightly, with confidence in his faint words.
"I'll study hard!" Artoria nodded, looking at the Qingxing Lantern with turquoise eyes, as if she wanted the Qingxing Lantern to start working immediately, and then let her watch from the sidelines.
"No hurry, no hurry." Qing Xing Deng smiled slightly, and there was a slightly different color paper in his hand, "Artoria, although it is forced by form, you still make an old mistake." ”
Artoria looked at Qingxing Lantern suspiciously, she has been working hard for a year, although Artoria is not proud, but she also thinks that there is nothing wrong, right? And is it still an old problem? At the same time, Artoria noticed that the paper in Qing Xinglan's hand was different in color from the other business papers presented.
That means that there are monsters making trouble, and the onmyoji mages who are sent everywhere by Artoria can't handle it, generally speaking, this kind of thing is presented, and it needs to be solved by Love, and if it's a little troublesome, even Artoria and Love will take action together, such as the previous Kamikuya.
"People can be saved, but it is more important to save people to save themselves." casually said a vague word, Qing Xingdeng threw the paper in his hand to Love, "Love, you have to go out in person for this matter." ”
The love who chewed the bun casually took advantage of it and glanced at it twice.
"In an ancient battlefield, a once dead horse turned into a monster and reborn, with snow-white hair, the horse's tail and four hooves burning with flames, named Flame Hoof, after the appearance of Flame Hoof, in the selection of a master, I heard that those who ride on Flame Hoof can get the world, of course, that is just nonsense."
"However, among the masters chosen by the Flame Hoof, a large number of youkai were attracted and fought each other, causing great turmoil."
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, demon horse hot hooves?
"Love, them, them." Lian said cutely, still chewing buns in his mouth, and his expression was not murderous at all, but since Lian said so, he would definitely do it.
"It's nothing to kill those monsters, but about the demon horse Yanhoof, you can see if you can accept it." Qing Xing Deng said with a smile, "After all, you are a heroic spirit, and you also have the bonus of a rider job, just one less mount." ”
"Oh." Lian nodded slightly, his hair swayed, and he didn't know if he understood.
"As for Artoria and her master......" Qing Xing Lantern turned his head and smiled, "Artoria, do you want to save the people from the monsters?" ”
Artoria blinked in a daze, unable to figure out what Qingxingdeng was going to do, but nodded vigorously and said, "Of course, is there any way that Qingxingdeng teacher can do?" ”
"There is a mountain called Bailing Mountain, and the people around Bailing Mountain live and work in peace and contentment, and have never been disturbed by monsters, because Bailing Mountain has a large range of clean barriers, rejecting all aliens and evils, and is extremely clean."
Artoria's eyes lit up, if she could set up such an enchantment in her own country......
"The reason why Bailing Mountain has such a miraculous effect is because of the existence of the White Heart Master." Qing Xing Deng smiled slightly, and bewitched Artoria without moving, "Artoria, go find the Master of the White Heart, and cure your old problem by the way." ”
At this time, Su Yuan, who was listening from the sidelines, almost understood the meaning of Qingxinglan, and the experience of the Master Bai Xin should give Artoria a lot of inspiration.
With Qingxingdeng's temperament, she must have planned it a long time ago.
Su Yuan smiled and glanced at Qingxing Lantern, who was assigning tasks.
"During this time, the concubine body will help you take care of this country, Artoria, you can rest assured that you will go with Su Yuan to find the White Heart Master." Qing Xingdeng's smiling words dispelled Artoria's worries.
So Artoria nodded with high morale, not noticing the corners of Su Yuan's eyes twitching frantically on the side, does Qingxinglan have the ability to manage a country well? Of course there is, provided that she will seriously manage in a good direction......
"Red Hitomi, you and Artoria can go together."
Qingxinglan said again: "By the way, clean up the monsters on the road." ”
"Woo...... "Akatomi swallowed a bun and said reluctantly, "But I want to stay here for a few days......"
It should have been eaten for a few days, right?
"The host will reward you, a big meal." Qingxinglan grasped the weakness of the red pupil very well.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
In an instant, the red pupil perked up.
Today, the chefs of the Castle Lord's Mansion have temporarily lost their jobs, and they are angry about this, it is an honor to be able to cook for the respected Artoria Daimyo and General Koi, and someone dares to rob them of their glory?!
Then after seeing Su Yuan's magical way of cooking, this group of top-notch chefs invariably felt sad and powerless, how can people compare with monsters? Could it be that I am going to lose this job that brings me glory, is respected, and is boasted of?
After a hearty lunch, and seeing the long-lost table war between Love, Red Hitomi, and Artoria, the team that had been together for a short time separated again.
Red Pupil and Lian set off with the dry food prepared by Su Yuan, and Su Yuan and Artoria left to find Bailing Mountain.
Qing Xing Lantern simply disguised herself as Artoria, she did not change her physical appearance to disguise, but used her spirit to induce her image to become Artoria in the eyes of ordinary people, and then justifiably began to reform drastically.
"Yingcao, go to Estes, help her solve the matter of the ocelot clan, and come here with Estes." Qingxing Lantern gave an order at random, and Yingcao, who was planting flowers in the City Lord's Mansion, turned pale, but she still obediently went to find Estes according to the direction given by Qingxing Deng.
It's scary to go out alone...... Sister Estes is so scary......
Worried, Yingcao stepped on the road.
"Oh, hehe, there's only one concubine......"
Qing Xingdeng smiled and glanced at the government affairs on the table, and had no intention of dealing with it at all, so he swaggered out of the City Lord's Mansion and wandered around the city......
