Chapter 54: The Divine Ming Empire (Revised)

The figure in the field, tall and straight, heroic, in front of the army, calm, quite a kind of control of everything in the heart.

In contrast, on the city wall, Zhou Ziwang had gray hair and an old and haggard complexion, dwarfed by it.

Zhou Ziwang's brows tightened several times, his lips squirmed, a few traces of struggle and unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and finally his face slipped a little lonely, and he sighed faintly, and said: "If I didn't exclude you back then but chose to reuse you, the ending might be completely different." ”

"It's come to this, what's the point of saying this?" Luo Chuan's tone was indifferent, but he kept shaking his head in his heart, even if you chose to reuse me back then, it would be impossible for me to help you fight the world.

"I regret not being at the beginning!" Zhou Ziwang sighed, looking at the sky faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

In front of the ten thousand armies, only the jets of the war horses were left from time to time, and everyone could feel the loneliness of this king, waiting for Zhou Ziwang's end.

After a long time, Zhou Ziwang slowly retracted his gaze, looked at Luo Chuan, and said loudly: "Sect Leader Luo, it's not impossible for you to ask me to surrender, but you have to promise me three conditions!"

"Zhou Ziwang, you are already a caged bird, if the sect leader wants to take your life, it is like taking your life, but the sect leader is merciful and does not want the Holy Sect brothers to kill each other before giving you a chance, you don't have to inch in. Xu Da scolded angrily.

Zhou Ziwang ignored Xu Da, but stared directly at Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan sighed slightly in his heart, why did the ancients always like to come up with such a thing as "three conditions"? He said indifferently: "You say, only I can consider it at my discretion!"

Zhou Ziwang said: "First of all, this apostasy is just my own business, and it has nothing to do with my brothers, I still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under my command, these brothers follow me to fight the world, and make great contributions to the Holy Sect, hoping that the sect leader will bypass their lives." ”

"Yes!" Luo Chuan nodded and said, "Saint Sect brothers in the city, this time you have gone astray, as long as you are lost and know that you have returned, you will not be responsible for your mistakes this time, and your previous position will not change." The families of the fallen are taken care of by the Holy Sect, and the disabled can still enjoy the subsidies of the Holy Sect!" "According to the canon, all apostasy must be burned to death by the Holy Fire, but it is obviously impossible for Luo Chuan to kill all these tens of thousands of people.

"The Sect Master is merciful!"

"Long live the Sect Master!"

On the city wall, the sound of a mountain roaring and a tsunami suddenly erupted. The reason why they are struggling to persist and refuse to surrender is because Zhou Ziwang does not surrender, and secondly, because they are worried about being dealt with by the canon, now that they are okay, the sect leader promised not to blame the past, and they can still get corresponding rewards and subsidies according to their merits, how can they not be happy? How can they not be grateful to Luo Chuan?

Zhou Ziwang sighed in his heart, this is the human heart. After a pause, he continued: "My second condition is that I hope that the sect leader can marry the little girl Zhou Zhiruo!"

"What!"

"How can this be!"

Luo Chuan and Zhou Zhiruo were shocked at the same time.

The faces of Xu Da, Deng Yu and other generals were very strange, but Chang Yuchun saw Zhou Ziwang's thoughts. Obviously, Zhou Ziwang is worried that Luo Chuan will settle accounts after the autumn, if Luo Chuan marries Zhou Zhiruo, the two sides will be a family at that time, and the son-in-law can still find trouble with his father-in-law?

Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "I can't agree to this matter, you can change your conditions!"

"You ......" Zhou Zhiruo's face suddenly turned pale, and she glared at Luo Chuan angrily. There was anger in his eyes, as if to say: Am I not worthy of you? It's not that Zhou Zhiruo likes Luo Chuan, it's just that no matter which woman she is, if she is rejected in person, she will always have a hard time on face.

"The little girl is sixteen years old, and her appearance is not to say that she is captivating to the country and the city, but she is definitely stunning. This king does not ask the sect leader to marry Mingmei, as long as a concubine position is enough. "Zhou Ziwang also knows that Luo Chuan will be in charge of the world in the future, and his wife will be **, and it is absolutely impossible to let him, the daughter of a traitor, serve the world, so he only asks for the identity of a concubine, anyway, when the time comes, the concubine will at least be able to seal a concubine or something.

"Dad!" Zhou Zhiruo's face was pale, but she didn't expect her father to marry Luo Chuan as a concubine.

Xu Da, Deng Yu and others nodded one after another, if Zhou Zhiruo is indeed a national beauty, it is enough to be the concubine of the sect leader. It's cheap, this old guy, a few people sighed in their hearts.

Who would have thought that Luo Chuan still shook his head and refused.

This time, Zhou Ziwang's face also swelled with anger, and he sent his daughter several times, but he didn't even send it out, how could his old face hang up? He said in a deep voice: "This is the sincerity of the sect leader? Are you deliberately trying to humiliate me in front of 10,000 people?"

"Not really!"

Luo Chuan shook his head lightly and explained, "This seat has no plans to marry a wife for the time being!"

"Hmph!" Zhou Ziwang snorted coldly, not believing it. Seeing that Luo Chuan is about to reign over the world, he will definitely choose a concubine in the world when the time comes, how can he not marry a wife? This is nothing more than perfunctory.

He didn't know that Luo Chuan didn't lie to him. For Luo Chuan, the Yitian Secret Realm was just a copy after all, and he didn't want to leave a concern in this world.

"Whether King Zhou believes it or not, in this world, I will never marry a wife!" Luo Chuan said, "King Zhou can change one condition." ”

Zhou Ziwang frowned deeply, feeling more and more unable to see through Luo Chuan. He pondered for a while and said, "If you change the conditions, you don't have to, and this matter will be nullified." Since my daughter is not blessed to marry the sect leader, and I don't want my daughter to be a puppet saint and live alone for the rest of her life, can you remove my daughter's status as a saint?"

Luo Chuan nodded and agreed very simply.

"Open the gates!"

Zhou Ziwang waved his hand, the city gate suddenly opened, and Xu Da and Deng Yu immediately led the army commander to drive in.

"I, Zhou Ziwang, have fought all my life, and until today, I know that glory and wealth are like a passing cloud. I have killed so many Holy Brothers because of my arrogance, and I have no shame to live in the world. Zhou Ziwang looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and suddenly drew his sword and killed himself.

This scene was unexpected by everyone.

"Please also ask the master to keep his promise!" Zhou Ziwang slowly closed his eyes and died of anger.

"Dad-" Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed sadly, and immediately fainted directly.

Luo Chuan sighed lightly, he knew that Zhou Ziwang was worried that he would settle accounts after the autumn, and he didn't want to live under house arrest for the rest of his life, so he simply insisted on making a decision.

"It's a good burial!" Luo Chuan waved his hand.

After a long time, Zhou Zhiruo woke up slowly.

Luo Chuan said: "I promised King Zhou to let you leave, you can go!"

"Where else can I go?" Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were godless, "The master expelled me from Emei, and my father died......

In the end, Zhou Zhiruo still did not choose to leave.

After returning to Dadu, Luo Chuan convened various kings and chieftains, and finally decided on the plan for the establishment of a new state through deliberation.

Similar to the theocratic state of the West in the Middle Ages, Luochuan adopted the form of a combination of government and religion, and officials had to join the religion, so that the interests of the state and the Ming religion were firmly tied together, and the Ming state established was also a "religious state".

The full name is "Holy Ming Empire".

In fact, Luo Chuan also thought about giving way at first, but, unlike in history, Zhu Yuanzhang's qualifications and strength are not enough, if Luo Chuan gives way, it is very likely that others will be dissatisfied and cause the Ming Sect to fall apart, and the world will be lit again.

But now, Luo Chuan is Mingzun, and the emperor's power is given by religion, and Mingzun needs to be crowned, so that the emperor has become a position to deal with affairs. And the power of the world's soldiers and horses is still in the hands of Luo Chuan, the Ming Zun.

As for the emperor's candidate, Luo Chuan of course chose Zhu Yuanzhang. Helping Zhu Yuanzhang ascend to the throne is his task this time.

In this regard, several other Dharma kings did not have any objections, the white-eyed eagle king, the blue-winged bat king and others were all from the martial arts, and they did not have much interest in government affairs, so letting them work every day to deal with political affairs was even more uncomfortable than killing them.

As for the cabinet system, Luochuan adopts a parliamentary system.

The council is composed of eight people, including Mingzun, the left and right envoys of light, the three kings, the emperor, and the holy woman, among them, Luo Chuan, as the head of the sect and the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, has two votes and one veto. Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, White-eyed Eagle King, Green Winged Bat King, Golden Retriever Lion King, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhou Zhiruo each have one vote.

A month later, the Ming Kingdom was established, and in the Temple of Heaven in Dadu, the new emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was crowned by Mingzun Luochuan.

At the moment of successful coronation, auspicious rain descended from the sky, and a golden light fell from the sky and flew into Luo Chuan's body.

At the same time, Luo Chuan also got a hint that the task was completed.
