Supreme Lightning System

Chapter 146

During his reign, he defeated the entire demon clan with iron blood and martial arts, and huddled in the land of eternal winter. He no longer dared to covet the fertile land and rich resources of the empire.

He is like the toughest and sharpest sword, invincible, tenacious, courageous, and iron-blooded and cruel!However, he eventually weakened. 200 years ago, he survived the thunder tribulation and achieved divine status.He didn't believe in the passage to ascend to the fairyland, so he closed it. He broke through the space with the power of the fairy weapon, but was seriously injured by the destructive force in the space. Over the years, he has become weaker and weaker, and his edges and corners have become more and more serious. Ping, who used to be a tall body, has been tortured by injuries in the past two years and has become thinner and thinner, leaving only a broad skeleton.At this moment, the supreme supreme ruler is sitting on the altar-like seat in a weak posture, his head is lowered in thought, his brows are painfully twisted together, and the wrinkles on his forehead are so clear and deep one by one, like It's like cutting with a knife and chiseling with an axe.Finally, a deep and distant sigh broke the silence.

"Wise Zhang Liang, smart Zhang Liang, wise Zhang Liang, I need your wise and objective advice now." The emperor, who was already terminally ill, sighed, his hoarse voice seemed to be mixed with anger and anxiety.

At this moment, in Nuo Da's palace, facing the Jagged Heavenly Emperor Liu Xie, sat an elegant old man. The old man was dressed in a black black robe and wore a noble long sword on his waist.This old man has gray hair and a slight wrinkle on his forehead. Even though he is old, it can be seen that the old man is a handsome man.

Although the old man is old, his eyes are still filled with the kind of calm and peaceful wisdom that has been left behind by the passage of time.Zhang Liang, the most trusted partner in the life of the Iron-Blooded Emperor Liu Xie.

The iron-blooded Emperor Liu Xie was considered suspicious and irritable by the three major power departments of the empire, and he didn't trust anyone.But it was Zhang Liang who won the only trust of the Jagged Emperor, and this kind of trust has not been mourned for more than two hundred years, but it has a tendency to become more and more intense.

In the entire palace, only he can enter and leave the study and palace of His Majesty the Emperor at any time without notification.The Jagged Emperor would agree to any of Zhang Liang's requests, although Zhang Liang was smart enough to never abuse these privileges over the years.

And every suggestion made by Zhang Liang, no matter how absurd the statement, Jagged Emperor will seriously consider the possibility.But such a person who is deeply trusted by the emperor, it is hard to believe that he does not have any official head on his head! His only title is just an informal court advisor.

However, any one of his words has an impact on the Jagged Emperor, far exceeding the previous prime ministers of the empire!
Zhang Liang, who is over 200 years old, is one year older than the Jagged Emperor.When he was young, he was once hailed as the most outstanding genius in Imperial Academy.Almost all the tutors and scholars in Imperial College, whether they like him or not, have to admit that his analysis of affairs has insight and wisdom that are rare for ordinary people.

He has profound attainments in many fields, including government affairs, history, art, and even martial arts.Every prediction he made about the empire's national policy finally became a reality, and every suggestion he made to the emperor finally achieved the expected results.But such a person cannot obtain any official position!
It's not because of Zhang Liang's humble background, he was born in a middle-class aristocratic family. Although he is far from a wealthy family, it is far from being blocked by the officialdom.Even his personal friendship with the emperor.It is said that when Liu Xie, the iron-blooded emperor, often sneaked into the Imperial Academy in disguise to attend lectures when he was young, and it was at that time that he met Zhang Liang.

At one point, Liu Xie, the Jagged Heavenly Emperor, once privately expressed to his friends that Zhang Liang is my best candidate for the future prime minister of the empire!But it is a pity that this genius who could have been a high-ranking official in the empire reluctantly bid farewell to his official career.Just because some of his public statements and opinions angered some people.When he was in the academy, Zhang Liang, who was already quite famous, had publicly expressed his views many times.The Han Empire has maintained a system of enfeoffment for more than 1000 years, which is the biggest source of disaster for the empire's weak national strength and its gradual decline.

Under the leadership of Liu Xie, the Han Empire drove the demon tribe into the land of eternal winter. It seemed to be extremely powerful, and the majesty of the empire was majestic all over the world.But anyone who is truly knowledgeable knows that the Han Empire has decayed. The current Han Empire is as weak as its rulers. Without vitality, the building will collapse.

The enfeoffment system is a policy formulated by Liu Ji, the founding emperor of the Han Empire, in order to consolidate the rule of the empire.After Liu Ji established the Han Empire, he made a big effort to confer the title of a group of Fanwangs on the Liu clan.

Except for the necessary taxes that these Fanwangs need to pay tribute to the central royal court every year, everything else is basically autonomous, including the army, which has become Fanwang's private army.

Although this system has a good effect when the empire is weak and resists foreign enemies, it is not the foundation for the long-term establishment of the country.

When Zhang Liang was young, he once expressed his views and belittled this system to the point of decency.The wise man of the empire believes that, first of all, such a system can only be an excellent emergency strategy in the face of crisis.

The most important irreconcilable contradiction is rights!After the birth of the enfeoffment system, the direct consequence was that the power of the various kings was unprecedentedly strong.

It is almost difficult for the various kings to divide the empire into dozens of countries, and it is almost difficult to receive the jurisdiction of the central government!Because of free land, resources, and their own army, these small fan kingdoms can be almost completely self-sufficient!Independence has been achieved in terms of financial revenue and expenditure!

Just imagine, each Fan Wang controls free and independent financial revenue and expenditure within the back cover of his jurisdiction, has land and soldiers, and can be completely self-sufficient without the military salary provided by the central government. An independent country was established!And these independent kingdoms have become one small cancer after another growing on the huge body of the empire.

There are many kings in the empire, which has become the main reason why the Han Empire is large but not strong.In the past 100 years, there have been more than ten rebellions by the king of the empire, six of which occurred within the past 30 years!

Emperors of the past dynasties were not without clear minds and tried to abolish such a system. However, after hundreds of years of nourishment, various kingdoms had become huge monsters. Even the emperors of the empire could not completely suppress these monsters.

The various vassals became China within the Han Empire, and the imperial government orders and military orders were never transmitted to the vassal kings' territories.

In the territory of each vassal king, there is an independent warrior training system. The people there only know the vassal king, not the emperor of Han Dynasty.
