Chapter Seventy-Four: The Road [Second Update]
The next day, Bai Xiaohai got up late. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When the sun was about to rise in the middle of the day, this kid got up a little reluctantly. Maybe it's because of yesterday's consumption, although yesterday was only a move with Xiong Rou, Bai Xiaohai can be said to have used all his hole cards. A grenade that consumes all soul energy, and a spirit attack that has only recently been contacted. The biggest consumption is still the spiritual impact, Xiong Rou is also a top-level soul type three-solution person, no matter how weak he is, he is much stronger than Bai Xiaohai.
The first thing Bai Xiaohai did when he got up was to stretch his tired body, and he felt that his recovery speed was really getting worse and worse recently. But there was still something that surprised him today, that is, this dead fat man didn't call himself up.
"Where did this dead fat man go?" Bai Xiaohai muttered in his heart.
"Are you up?" Just as Bai Xiaohai was thinking about whether he should solve his personal problems first or wash up first, a soldier walked in.
The soldier was white and clean, and he didn't look very old, and he had a warm smile on his face every time he said a word.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the adult, the little Ye Ji. What do you command?" said Ye Ji with a smile.
"Your smile is very warm, okay, take me to Brother Lu. ”
"Thank you, for the compliment, and wait for the adults to finish washing. I take you to His Royal Highness the Prince. As he spoke, a few soldiers had already brought in a basin of water and towels.
Being able to wash with clean water is almost a privilege only for nobles, and the water source in the barracks is generally not very sufficient. In fact, the water used for Bai Xiaohai was only enough for him to wash up briefly.
After washing, Bai Xiaohai, under the leadership of Ye Ji, came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Lu Tianzheng roared angrily at his generals.
"The third prince actually sent someone here to ask for military salary? Where did he come to ask for military salary, this is obviously to see if his eldest brother is dead!" Knowing that those sects are wolf ambitions, they still have to use the power of these people to achieve their goals.
"Yo, Brother Lu, what's wrong? Why is he so angry early in the morning?" The person who spoke was a teenager, although his clothes were relatively old, but it didn't prevent this guy from pretending to be a master at all.
"Brother Xiaohai is here. It's not my brothers who made trouble. ”
"Can you tell me about it?" Bai Xiaohai asked curiously.
In fact, the story is like this, Lu Tian's third brother, that is, the third prince of the empire. This third prince is also a talent, he is literate at the age of three and written at the age of five, which is simply a great talent. It can be said that his achievements in all aspects far surpass the current **** Lu Tian. Lu Tian had a very close relationship with these two younger brothers when he was a child, and Lu Tian also looked like a big brother. Although in some ways he was not as good as his two brothers, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. But I don't know when it started, these two brothers began to deviate from him, and sometimes even secretly hindered Lu Tian's advocacy. At first, Lu Tian thought that this was his own brother and didn't pay much attention to it. But just five years ago, his two younger brothers went too far.
The third brother is favored by the civil officials in the court because of his literary talent. So he followed this approach from the head to win over those civil officials in the current dynasty, and in just one year, all important institutions of the state became his confidants. Originally, Lu Tian didn't care about it, but when he wanted to care about it later, this guy had already become a climate, and he couldn't stop it.
But recently, this guy seems to be getting more and more disagreeable, and he has begun to collude with the people of the five sects in a frenzy. Lu Tian already knew about it when they first came into contact, but he was powerless to prevent this from happening. After all, they are said to be brothers, but in essence, they are half-fathers.
It's not early this morning, and this lovely third brother sent someone to ask for next month's military salary. The most annoying thing is that he knows that his eldest brother doesn't care about money, and he still has to come to him to ask for it. Obviously, the official in charge of money was his third prince's subordinate, and he deliberately came to Lu Tian to say that he wanted to receive the salary of the reincarnation garrison. This made Lu Tian how could he not be angry, he endured it again and again, and now he has been squeezed out to live in the barracks, and now his third brother still does not let go of himself.
After listening to the above description, Bai Xiaohai was not too surprised, and the palace was full of trouble. Is there ever been less such a thing in history?
Seeing that Bai Xiaohai actually laughed, Lu Tian was really a little confused. With a wave of his hand, he asked all the generals to retreat, and he came to Bai Xiaohai, who was still smirking.
"Brother Xiaohai, is the matter between our brothers so funny?" There is no displeasure, just curiosity.
"There's nothing funny about it, it's just that I'm curious how you got to where you are and how lucky you are!"
What Bai Xiaohai said was not a lie, under such conditions, Lu Tian was able to live until now, which was really a bit beyond Bai Xiaohai's expectations. Let's not talk about the methods of the three princes, the second prince has not mentioned Lu Tian until now, and it is estimated that the two princes are not fuel-efficient lamps.
"Then why is it luck that I have survived until now?
"Strength? Of course, do you want to tell me that you are in charge of the military? What is your second brother doing now?"
"I ...... this"
"You don't have to explain, if I'm not mistaken. The only force you seem to have at your disposal is the army in your hands, and the temple that has fallen into disrepair. That means you're in charge of theocracy, right?"
"Alas...... There's no way to start late, and only this useless theocracy remains. Speaking of this, Lu Tian unexpectedly showed a very rare state of dejection.
"The divine right has become useless power in you?"
"Does it work?"
"You keep a treasure and don't use it, are you saying it's a bit too wasteful? You really haven't thought about how your country is built, you really haven't thought about what your country is made of?"
"But now there are not many people who believe in the God of Light, how do you ask me to change that?"
"Could it be that there were many people who believed in the Divine Cult when it was founded? How did you know that this world had been abandoned by the great God of Light without trying it? If you want to achieve hegemony, people are the most important thing, and if you can't even win over people's hearts, then you, a prince with no real power and no military power, will be a rotting corpse on the side of the road in the future war. ”
Since ancient times, no empire has ever had the idea of giving up theocracy, after all, ignorant ordinary people account for more than eighty percent of the total population. To give up theocracy is to give up the people, but all emperors need and fear theocracy. The divine power is too large, which means that the imperial power is too small, and it is difficult to gather strong power.
How to control the use is an important criterion for judging the success of an emperor, which is why Bai Xiaohai said that Lu Tian wasted resources.
If he hadn't met Bai Xiaohai, Lu Tian really hadn't thought about how important this divine right was. After all, for as long as he can remember, this theocracy has been in decline for hundreds of years. There are even many people who have forgotten whether God still exists in this world, or outside the world.
When his father handed over the divine power to Lu Tian, Lu Tian felt that he had been given up, and at that time he couldn't even figure out what he had not done enough, so that his father would choose to give up on him. Now it seems that the answer has been interpreted by the heart, perhaps his father did not intend to give up on him at all, but put the foundation of the country in his hands.
"Thank you, I really want to thank you, Brother Xiaohai. When I met you, I really felt as if I had lived for so many years in vain. ”
Under Bai Xiaohai's guidance, Lu Tian seemed to feel that the fog in front of him in the past had gradually dispersed, and a continent shining with golden light appeared in front of him one day.
