Chapter 1155 Internal strife is external trouble

The emperor of the Daji Dynasty fell ill this time. Although he woke up quickly, the impact was far greater than many people expected, especially for the princes.

If I have to say it, it is that this disease has opened the ladder of chaos. The emperor wants to maintain stability, but cannot suppress everyone.

The Daji Dynasty covers thousands of miles and governs thousands of people. The so-called election system does not allow everyone to elect a new king. The Humane Dynasty does not have this organizational ability, and it is not a Taoist sect with magical powers.

Instead, they select a few counties, send princes to govern them, and test their ability to govern. The most important thing is whether the people in the county towns support them or not.

The mentality of the people is changeable, and the entire election system lasts as long as nine years. You spent several years paying attention to the political affairs, and the entire county developed rapidly. But in the end, there may be a deviation in the handling of a case, and it will be very serious. It may attract censure and criticism, lose public support, and then lose the opportunity to aspire to the highest throne.

This time the emperor fell ill, how to show his filial piety has undoubtedly become a major issue for several princes. In the state of uniting the family and the country, asking the people to choose you, a filial son's identity is the best label.

To show filial piety, you usually give gifts to your father. However, the emperor is as big as the world. Wherever there is a shortage of these worldly things, if you want to defeat the opponent, you must have a heart, and this heart is indispensable for money.

However, in the past few years of governance, the fortunes of several princes have long since been dissipated, and all the gains made under the rule have been returned to the people. In the treasury, even rats will feel worried after seeing it.

In order to gain the support of the people, the prince would often propose a series of benefits so that the people would have no worries. The ninth emperor of the Daji Dynasty, Emperor Hui, was a staunch supporter of the welfare system, and he also used this to rise to power. It got out of hand and has spread to this day.

Welfare can only increase, not decrease, and remain the same, which is a good thing.

When the people get used to your kindness, they are brought up to be giant babies, and they are often naive and stupid. Public opinion will fall in that direction.

Unable to provide money, some princes thought of other methods, which was to provoke provocations and fight a small or medium war.

If you win, you can not only present a gift to your father, but you can also please the warlike people, win the hearts and minds of the people, defeat the other brothers, and maybe win the final victory.

As the decisive year of the election system is approaching, the Great Extreme Dynasty is experiencing turbulent waves and undercurrents, and the government and the public are becoming increasingly restless. For the vast majority of people, what you have done in the previous eight years is not important. What is important is the last one. What did you do during the year?

The memory of ordinary people is no different from that of fish, it only has a memory of seven seconds.

Speaking of which, the reason why this emperor is able to gain such high popularity among the people is related to foreign wars. No wonder his son would choose this path.

When the election system was implemented in the past, this emperor guarded the northern border and faced the invasion of the northern barbarians. Before the army was assembled, he took the lead and sternly asked the northern barbarians why they had invaded the territory. He was extremely arrogant and forced the northern barbarians to retreat in one fell swoop. It received great praise in the country, and the people were all convinced.

Some unofficial historians say that this war was an exchange of interests between Jinshang and the Northern invaders. Seeing that he only forced the Northern invaders to retreat without actually fighting, we can get a rough idea.

There is no real evidence in the end, and the rumors spread by people who are considered losers, no matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter if it is true. He who dares to make transactions and is not afraid that Beilu will regret it and fall into it himself can be regarded as an outstanding person.

The other small countries are all average and can be beaten at will. However, the Beilu, who dominate the north of the Daji Dynasty, are really unruly.

The prince intends to start a foreign war. He first stirs up disputes and friction at the border, and then creates an atmosphere in Zhongdu City. We don’t know the emperor’s intentions, but anyone with a little knowledge can see the thoughts of several princes. come out.

The east, west, and south sides are fine. If something goes wrong in the north, and the Northern Army marches south, there is no need to occupy the land. Burning, killing, and looting will be enough for the local people to spend several years to recover.

A one-time destruction takes several times or even more time to create.

Chaos has begun, and the subordinates are in chaos. I am afraid it will not stabilize before the end of the election system. In which direction it will eventually evolve, it is not something that can be easily predicted.

Talking back to Wu Yi on the West Sea, after annihilating the Golden Dragon of Luck, Wu Yi didn't feel very happy in his heart. Just as the Golden Dragon of Luck couldn't kill Wu Yi, Wu Yi couldn't kill the Golden Dragon of Luck, but he just destroyed it. It is just an incarnation of the other party. As long as the Great Extreme Dynasty remains immortal, the Golden Dragon of Luck will always be there.

But Wu Yi's victory this time, not to mention that it directly caused the emperor's fainting, thinking from another angle, is not a sign that the disaster of the Great Extreme Dynasty has surfaced.

Looking at the chaotic beasts on the side, Wu Yi deliberately left. However, since he had made an oath before, although it was not binding, there was no need to break it. Anyway, for Wu Yi, it was just a piece of cake.

This wasn't the first time he had done something like this. Didn't he save Taotie before?

Thinking of Taotie, Wu Yi didn't even know how he was doing recently. After entering the Dead Sea in the past, he had no time to contact Taotie, so he was dragged into the blood demon world by the dead squid. The next step is to find Taotie.

The magic circle that suppresses the chaotic beasts also relies on the power of earth veins as its support. It is as difficult as climbing a mountain from the inside out, but it is easy to do it from the outside in.

When he first came here, Wu Yi guessed that those who suppressed Chaos in the past and those who suppressed Taotie were not necessarily the same people, but most likely they came from the same force!

After the Chaos Divine Beast was freed from its restraints, it roared to the sky and announced to the world that it had regained its freedom. It was extremely unruly. If it were an ordinary person, after sneaking out of prison, they would want to escape as soon as possible instead of provoking here.

The strength of the chaotic beast is much stronger than that of Taotie. Of course, it has not reached the level of Taiyi Immortal. It is half a step at best. However, with its strange methods, if used well, it may have miraculous effects.

"I feel Taotie's aura on your body!"

Wu Yi just wanted to ask about the relationship between the Chaos Beast and Taotie. Unexpectedly, he asked first. This question also made Wu Yi understand that the two were really connected. His previous guess was that established.

"I saw a lot of Taotie beasts. I wonder which one you are asking about?"

"There is only one Taotie in this world, why bother to hide it!" The chaotic beast rolled its eyes at Wu Yi with some disdain. If Wu Yi hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
