Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

As soon as the news came out, people in the world were talking a lot, and some people concluded from the news that Zhang Hua's destiny was destined.

He should be crowned emperor.

This matter is being discussed in every teahouse in the capital.

"The leader of the White Lotus is actually the youngest son of Marquis Shennong. This news is so explosive. A few years ago, Marquis Shennong said that his only surviving youngest son died unexpectedly. I thought it was a pity and even offered a few sticks of incense for him. I didn't expect it to happen at all. He just faked his death and secretly ran away to rebel."

"Don't talk nonsense, how can it be considered a rebellion?

This was clearly due to the lack of ethics in the previous dynasty. The leader of the White Lotus Sect received the destiny of heaven and came to the world to bring order to the chaos. "

"Yes, yes, oh, look at my mouth."

"So the leader has been holding back from proclaiming himself emperor. Maybe he wants his father, Marquis Shennong, to proclaim himself emperor."

"Probably not. I guess the most that can be done is to make Marquis Shennong the Supreme Emperor and his mother the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, those who follow the White Lotus Cult Master to conquer the world, and even the White Lotus Saint, will not be willing."

"This is also..."

"Since ancient times, there have been quite a few changes of dynasties, but I have never seen anyone like the leader of the White Lotus, who changed dynasties as quickly as he was favored by heaven in just one year."

"Forcing the young emperor to usurp the throne cannot be faster!"

"That is usurping the throne, which is different from conquering the world!"

"If you ask me, the leader of the White Lotus is his destiny. Even if his destiny is not enough, the merits of his father, his mother, his nephews and nieces are enough for him to become emperor.

Think about it, what merits did Shennong have in ancient times?

Plant grains, taste herbs, cure diseases and save people.

But if you look at Shennonghou’s family, Shennonghou alone may not be worthy of being called Shennong, but with the combined contributions of his family, isn’t it the new Shennong?

The four new grains are not inferior to five grains.

The output is far superior.

Some time ago, the White Lotus Sect also announced that it was not the magic runes that worked, but the two magic medicines sulfamine and penicillin mixed in the magic runes. Later, the medicine streptomycin was used to treat the plague. Although the name It's a bit strange, but it is indeed a miracle medicine. Its achievements are not inferior to those of Shen Nong's Tasting Hundreds of Herbs, which can cure diseases and save people. To put it bluntly, these medicines can cure diseases and save more people than There are many Shennong clans.

Since there is all the credit of Shennong.

Why can't he become the new Shennong?

Isn't this destiny? "

"What you said sounds right, but when you say it like this, I feel like the leader of the White Lotus doesn't have much credit. The credit belongs to his parents, nephews and nieces.

There was an inexplicable feeling that he was just lucky. "

"His credit does not seem to be very great. The reason why the White Lotus Sect has been able to develop and grow rapidly depends on the magic runes. But the magic runes can be effective because of two magic medicines. Those two magic medicines are his niece. After researching it, the reason why he was able to conquer the world so quickly was mainly because he had a magic medicine that could cure the plague. It seems that his niece was largely responsible.

Such a great contribution would have been made by a woman.

I feel like I could compete with him for the throne! "

"By the way, the leader of the White Lotus Sect seems to have only one daughter, not a son. He is not in a hurry to become emperor, and he is also in a hurry to bring his parents, nieces and nephews over.

Doesn't he want to make his nephew the prince?

Or is he going to adopt his nephew? "

"This topic is not interesting to talk about. Let's talk about something else. For example, the first warrior emperor, the Situ family and Situ Ying are really making money. Who doesn't know in the world now that he is the leader and leader of the White Lotus Sect? As a teacher to my nephew and niece, my position as emperor’s teacher is fully fulfilled.

From now on, he will be the founding hero. "

"I don't know what kind of shit luck happened..."

……

Although there is a lot of discussion among the people, Zhang Hua is obviously not in the mood to care at this time, because he is now struggling with how to rule the country, whether to stick to the original imperial system or use other governance methods.

He really couldn't make up his mind about this.

And because of this, he has not proclaimed himself emperor for a long time.

He wanted his father, mother, nephews and nieces to help him come up with ideas or provide some suggestions.

As soon as Zhang Wen and the others arrived in the capital, they were hurriedly invited into the palace by Zhang Hua, and brought into the back hall. He dismissed everyone and expressed his concerns quite frankly:

"Dad, Mom, and Ozawa Xiaohui, this is probably the situation. What do you think I should do?"

"What you mean is that you actually want to be the emperor, but you are afraid that if you can't manage the country well, your descendants will be too useless in the future and will not know the sufferings of the people. Then at the end of the dynasty, you will be liquidated, and there is even the danger of annihilation.

So you also kind of want to establish a constitutional monarchy, right?

Even the system of cabinet chiefs and assistants will work. "

Zhang Wen understood what his son meant. He wanted to be the emperor, but he was afraid that his descendants would not be able to do it. If his descendants were too embarrassed, the country would be subjugated. Wouldn't it be a sinner to subjugate the world? Ordinary dynasty changes are called subjugation, and the country was destroyed. When aliens destroy their rule, it is called the destruction of the world.

So he hoped to limit imperial power.

It is best if an incompetent monarch does not affect the stability of the country.

It is acceptable even to give up the position of emperor and let the chief minister of the cabinet manage the world, rotating every ten years.

"That's what I mean, but to be honest, the constitutional monarchy on the other side has not been in existence for too long. It is even more difficult to say whether it can be maintained for a long time. It is very difficult."

"He is just the chief minister of the cabinet, but he is worried that no one will threaten him!"

Zhang Hua was really in a dilemma. The other founding emperors were ignorant and thought that they had done a good job and that if their descendants followed his rules, they would be able to survive for generations to come. However, he knew very well that his descendants were uncontrollable, and he knew even more that with the changes of the times, Many things will change, and no rules and order can be used forever, but because of this, he will be more sad and difficult to make decisions.

Every time there is chaos in the world, many people will die.

He thought that the world would be less chaotic in the future, or that the chaos would only affect the upper levels and affect ordinary people as little as possible.

"Brother-in-law, can you stop worrying so much about the country and the people? Even if you have the throne now, don't worry about the country and the people so much. Do you really think you are some rare saint in the world? Take care of your own generation. That's pretty good. What about Confucius? What about Wang Yangming, the sage who came out every 500 years? Who wouldn't praise Tang Taizong, the emperor of the ages? Have they made the world completely peaceful?

Can they prevent a change of dynasty?

No matter what the system is, if it cannot solve the people's survival problems, it will not last long. The solution to the people's survival problems depends not on the system, but on the development of science and technology and productivity. As long as the level of science and technology is high enough and the level of productivity development is high enough, even if There are some flaws in the system, but that won't shake the overall situation. After all, if you have something to eat and drink, who has nothing to do to rebel, right?

So don't think so much.

If you want to have a constitutional monarchy, then do it. If you want to have other models, then do other models. But at this stage, I advise you to use the feudal monarchy to make the transition first, centralize power first and carry out major reforms. Many systems were not established at the founding of the country. Come down, it will be troublesome if you want to change it in the future. You must not be like Zhu Chongba.

Just digging holes for future generations.

After the reform is completely completed, it is not too late to create a supreme constitution or something, and then slowly transition. "

Zhang Hui is really rolling her eyes and complaining, introducing a system that is inappropriate at the wrong time and has no survival and root in the soil. It is undoubtedly messing up. Now we need an emperor who has vision, courage, and pioneering spirit. Through It is a time when strong methods such as centralization of power overthrow everything in the past, create a new world, and rebuild a new system.

Isn't it just a matter of restricting the imperial power?

The purpose of constitutional monarchy is to restrict the means of incompetent emperors, not the means of restricting the founding emperors. The unified dynasties in the past can only have a few founding emperors and they are mediocre!

So do this kind of operation.

It is not too late to wait until the overall situation is decided in his later years.

After complaining about the controversy and even presenting facts and reasoning, Zhang Hua finally made up his mind.

And he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor the next day.

The White Lotus Saint Ximen Changhen was granted the title of Queen of Heaven, her biological father Zhang Wen was the Supreme Emperor, her biological mother Xu Ping was the Empress Dowager, her nephew Zhang Ze was the King of Qin, her niece Zhang Hui was the King Hui, her daughter Zhang Lian was the princess, and Situ Ying was the Grand Master.

The other heroes also received awards.
