Chapter 228 Reactions From All Parties
"The meaning is very simple. The Spirit Hall is not suitable for leadership."
"To be precise, as long as it is a dictatorship, no one is suitable to be the emperor!"
Lin Chuan bluntly expressed his own thoughts.
To be honest, even if the Spirit Hall used this abyss invasion to force the two empires to merge, it would not be easy to achieve it in the end.
The Xingluo Empire is fine, but it is hard to guarantee that the Tiandou Empire will not be destroyed.
After all, if the two empires choose to surrender, those soul masters who have a blood feud with the Spirit Hall will completely lose hope.
If these soul masters actively support, the Tiandou Empire will definitely have a different heart.
The new empire will still be in turmoil at that time.
Even war will break out!
With the strength of the Spirit Hall, it is indeed not afraid of these. Even if someone resists, it can be easily suppressed.
And there is a saying that is very good.
There has never been a country that benefits from a long war.
As a time traveler, Lin Chuan knows very well that people are tired of war, even if they win many battles.
Even if he was a famous emperor in his previous life, and rarely lost in foreign wars, the life of the lower-class people was not good.
War will bring high taxes and cause soaring prices.
If it is not controlled, only ordinary people will suffer.
If it continues for a long time, the civilians will also feel resentful, and when the expectations for the Spirit Hall are exhausted, it will be too late.
Qian Renxue frowned.
However, this expression did not make her look ugly.
"So what do you want to do?" Qian Renxue couldn't help asking.
"It's very simple!"
Lin Chuan explained with a smile, "Power cannot fall into the hands of one person, and it is more reasonable to divide it appropriately."
"What do you mean?"
Qian Renxue was a little confused.
"It's very simple. Now the two empires are almost completely controlled by the emperor, which is obviously unreasonable."
"This will lead to administrative decisions being too dependent on the wisdom of one person. If the emperor is wise, it's fine. If you encounter an arrogant emperor, the whole country will be finished!"
"After all, even gods make mistakes, and the emperor is also a human being. He can't be perfect."
"So when you encounter something, brainstorm and discuss the pros and cons to the maximum extent."
"This will make as few mistakes as possible."
Qian Renxue was filled with disbelief when she heard this.
What Lin Chuan said can be said to be quite reasonable.
At least from Qian Renxue's perspective, she is indeed moved by this model!
After all, she has achieved the God of Angels, and she will definitely go to the God Realm in the future.
Then the position of the Pope of the Spirit Hall will definitely be passed on to others.
No one dares to guarantee that every Pope is wise.
If there is a crazy Pope like Qian Renxue's mother Bibi Dong, I am afraid that the entire continent will be dragged into an irreparable disaster.
Or maybe there will be a pope who is unscrupulous like Qian Renxue's father Qian Xunji.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue couldn't help shaking her head.
I always feel that there are problems in their family.
"Have you already had a specific idea?"
Qian Renxue asked impatiently.
"That's right!" Lin Chuan nodded again, "You can set up a cabinet at that time."
"A total of nine people, three civil officials, three military generals, and three representative soul masters."
"The cabinet represents the highest institution, and its members are replaced every five years, and the emperor can still be above the cabinet."
"However, the emperor cannot decide something alone. Ordinary affairs are handled by the cabinet. Only when major events and cabinet members cannot decide, the cabinet and the emperor will discuss and make the final decision."
"The emperor is also replaced every five years, elected by civilians, and allowed to be re-elected."
"That's all for now!"
After Lin Chuan finished speaking, Qian Renxue couldn't help but refute.
"You are too naive. No matter how powerful you are, it will depend on your strength in the end."
"A powerful soul master can completely subvert everything!"
As the God of Angels, Qian Renxue is the most qualified to say this.
Lin Chuan is naturally very clear about this.
Douluo Continent is a fantasy world. Even if it is just a fantasy floor tile, strength is respected.
Confucianism disrupts the law with literature, and knights violate the law with force.
This is not just talk.
There are always those ambitious people who even rely on their own strength to look down on everything.
"So this is the time when the Spirit Hall is needed!"
Lin Chuan smiled slightly, "As long as the soul master does not disappear, there will still be forces that threaten the country's rule."
"And even if the soul master no longer exists, there will still be others who can shake the foundation of the country. This is something that cannot be changed."
Didn't you see that Lin Chuan didn't have any extraordinary power in his previous life, even if he was holding a stone, he would still fight for hegemony?
"So the Spirit Hall can be the state religion, commanding all the soul masters in the country, and the emperor can also serve as the pope."
"At the same time, when training candidates for the emperor, we should not only focus on examining their character, but also train them to become excellent soul masters."
"All soul masters must be registered and subject to national jurisdiction!"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"But wouldn't the emperor's power become too great again?"
"Of course, but it is not impossible. If a cabinet member makes a principled mistake, the emperor can organize a cabinet meeting, vote to remove the cabinet member, and then select the best candidates to replace him."
"And if the emperor goes astray, cabinet members can also hold a meeting and vote to remove the emperor."
"That's the general situation, but the specific details still need to be discussed carefully."
"At least in my opinion, such a system will undoubtedly make the country and civilians better!"
Lin Chuan's voice paused slightly.
Of course that's just an idealized state.
No matter how good the system is, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no corruption at the top of the empire, and there will inevitably be some internal strife.
But where there is light, there is darkness.
Even if they do nothing, the nobles of the two empires will still scheming and even do some shitty things.
Lin Chuan is not a god and cannot cover everything.
This was not achieved even in the previous life.
All he can do is to make it as perfect as possible. Even if there are still shadows in the empire after the merger, at least most of the situations are good.
As for the remaining details, it is up to the people behind to perfect them.
Qian Renxue fell silent immediately.
After thinking carefully for a moment, she raised her head again and looked at Lin Chuan.
"Maybe you are right, at least the scene you described is indeed better than mine."
Lin Chuan shook his head.
"Don't praise me so much. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."
"What's more, there is no need to be in such a hurry. The mainland has not been unified yet anyway. These things can be considered after completion."
"The top priority now should be to solve the abyss invasion."
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Qian Renxue expressed her stance softly.
"The Star Luo Empire has sent someone to invite you. I will agree to it and then reach a three-party cooperation as soon as possible to jointly resist the invasion of the abyss!"
Lin Chuan suddenly chuckled.
With the addition of Wuhundian, at least there is no need to worry about high-end combat power.
The army relied on the two empires to provide it.
Of course, Wuhun Palace is not weaker than the two empires even in terms of military.
After all, he had infiltrated several kingdoms under the two empires in advance.
"As soon as possible. After all, many civilians will be killed by the creatures of the abyss later. That is what no one wants to see."
Qian Renxue nodded lightly, "Don't worry, as long as the two empires are not too much."
"I'm going back to Wuhun City first!"
"Besides, I would like you to take care of my mother."
Although the words sounded a little strange, Lin Chuan still nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Bibi Dong and I don't have any deep hatred. Although it's impossible to make her feel as comfortable as she did in the Spirit Hall, at least she won't be wronged."
"When Bing'er and the others come back from Poseidon Island, Bibi Dong will be returned to you as soon as possible!"
This woman is wasting food if she keeps it.
Lin Chuan would not have kept her if he hadn't been worried that Bibi Dong would compete with Qian Renxue for power after she returned, causing the situation that had finally stabilized to change again.
"I believe you, let's go first!"
Qian Renxue didn't say much, turned around and flew towards the distance.
at the same time.
Tiandou City Imperial Palace.
Xue Ke also immediately received the message from the Star Luo Empire and personally summoned the Star Luo envoy.
After learning about the invasion of the abyss, Empress Xueke was a little skeptical at first.
Following Ning Fengzhi's suggestion, he sent Bone Douluo Gu Rong to the Star Luo Empire to find out the situation.
With Gu Rong's speed, it didn't take long to return smoothly.
"Your Majesty Bone Douluo, how is the situation?"
Xue Ke asked impatiently.
Gu Rong looked grave and responded with a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid what the Star Luo Empire envoy said before is true!"
"Uncle Bones, is there really a so-called abyssal plane?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in disbelief.
Gu Rong nodded again, "I went to the Star Luo Empire privately this time and found many strange passages, and many strange creatures walked out of them."
"The Star Luo Empire has assembled its troops to resist, but those monsters are quite powerful, and they can also increase their strength by devouring flesh and blood."
"As the Star Luo Empire said, if these monsters are allowed to grow, the entire continent will suffer!"
Hearing this, both Xue Ke and Ning Fengzhi felt very heavy in their hearts.
This actually happened.
If it were in the past, they might feel gloating when the Star Luo Empire encountered such a disaster.
But the disaster might affect the Tiandou Empire, so it would be hard to laugh.
"Ning Qing, what should we do now?"
"Do you want to agree to the Star Luo Empire's request and send troops to fight against this abyssal plane?"
Xue Ke frowned and was a little undecided for a moment.
Ning Fengzhi also frowned and fell into deep thought.
I originally thought that the Star Luo Empire had some conspiracy, but now that it has been confirmed, it will be troublesome.
The situation on the mainland was already chaotic, and now another abyssal plane was added to it.
To be honest, Ning Fengzhi really had a headache.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and may even affect the life and death of the empire. Our strength alone may not be enough."
"You can agree to discuss with the Star Luo Empire first, and then we can see what the Spirit Hall means."
In the end, Ning Fengzhi gave an answer.
Xue Ke nodded slightly, but showed worry again, "But what if Wuhun Palace takes the opportunity to launch an attack and wants to kill us and the Star Luo Empire in one fell swoop?"
"It's unlikely, but we have to guard against it."
Wuhundian’s past behavior is indeed hard to believe.
Not to mention, the Qibao Glazed Sect and even the Tiandou Empire have grudges against the Wuhun Palace.
After Ning Fengzhi thought briefly, he spoke again.
"We can propose that the Star Luo Empire and Wuhun Palace send people to Tiandou City to discuss, and at the same time invite King Zhenbei to take charge in advance."
"In this way, Wuhun Palace will not dare to make mistakes."
"This is a good idea!"
Xue Ke's eyes suddenly lit up.
With Lin Chuan's strength, Wuhun Palace would also have to weigh it if he got involved.
"Another point is that if we finally reach a cooperation with the Star Luo Empire and Wuhun Palace to resist the invasion of the abyss, we can also ask King Zhenbei to help."
Ning Fengzhi added again.
Xue Ke nodded immediately, "Ning Qing's words make sense. I will send people to Xueyuan City and invite King Zhenbei to come to Tiandou City!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Rong suddenly spoke.
"I'd better go and meet Xiao Rongrong by the way, and bring her back to see her."
After hearing Gu Rong's words, Ning Fengzhi's eyes suddenly softened.
He nodded slightly.
"Speaking of which, I also miss Rongrong a little. Uncle Gu, please bring that girl back by the way!"
"Then there will be the Crowned Bones Douluo!"
Xue Ke also spoke softly.
Gu Rong waved his hand, "It's a small matter, I'm going to Snowfield City right away. Feng Zhi, please let the swordsman come to protect you!"
After saying this, Gu Rong disappeared.
Xue Ke then turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, "Ning Qing, let's summon the Star Luo Empire envoy again!"
The scene changes.
Completely different from the turmoil in the outside world, Snowfield City seemed very calm.
Lin Chuan seemed particularly leisurely, not distracted by the invasion of the abyss, and continued to practice his skills and understanding of the laws as always.
"Hoo ho ho!!!"
Ye Ying's double swords were swung fiercely by him.
Every move will cause the power of heaven and earth to tremble.
[You practice sword skills seriously once and gain a little bit, and your archery proficiency increases. 】
[With the help of sword skills, you can understand the mystery of the water of all things, and your understanding of the mystery of the water of all things will deepen. 】
[You use sword skills to understand the mystery of the fire of all things, and your understanding of the mystery of the fire of all things deepens. 】
[You use sword skills to understand the mystery of the wind of all things, and your understanding of the mystery of the wind of all things deepens. 】
[You seriously understand the three mysteries of water, fire, and wind of all things, and use sword skills to integrate the three. Your understanding of sword skills will deepen, and the integration of the three mysteries of water, fire, and wind will increase. 】
The progress is quite gratifying.
Not only that, Lin Chuan also began to understand the magical skills in the soul rings of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King during this time.
Don’t even say it!
It was indeed a magical skill condensed by the two dragon kings' lifelong learning, and it was of great help to Lin Chuan.
Although he does not intend to follow the path of the two dragon kings, learning from others' understanding of the law will be of great benefit to his own understanding of the law.
