Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Chapter 418 What is National Destiny
"Of course there is."

Yuan Tiangang paused, slightly surprised by Chi Yao's calmness and sharpness at this time.

After hearing the anecdote about alchemy in the National Games, instead of being surprised and shocked, he immediately guessed the possible disadvantages.

This reaction is indeed very different from ordinary people.

Hmm... I can't completely use the word "disadvantage" to sum it up, but since the national fortune is going to be used, there must be restrictions.

How did he know that with Chi Yao's vision and knowledge, let alone alchemy in the national destiny, even if he said that there is a fairyland above the Tang Dynasty, or that there are caves at the foot of Luoyang in Chang'an, or even more indescribable things, At most, there will be an "ah", and there will be no shocking emotions.

This has nothing to do with whether you have a big heart or not. The main thing is that you have heard a lot about it, so you will not be surprised.

Well, without him, only familiarity!
"Appreciate further details."

There was a clear expression on Chi Yao's face, waiting for him to continue talking.

Yuan Tiangang took two steps forward with his hands behind his back: "In the eyes of the world, the theory of national destiny may be dismissed as false, or it may be mysterious and awe-inspiring. How do you view this thing?"

"I?"

Chi Yao frowned slightly, thoughts racing through his mind.

As the name suggests, the fate of a country is the luck of a country. The theory of luck has always been full of all kinds of mystical words. Under different world views, it has something to do with fate, the general trend of the world, and even the behind-the-scenes operators who do not know whether there are outside the chess game.

To give the simplest example, when two officials in the court fight, the most important thing that determines their outcome is the holy family, that is, the emperor's thoughts and opinions.Those who have a strong holy family will benefit in every direction.But the holy family is not a constant thing. After all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. One day the emperor is unhappy and no longer favors you. This is called the end of the world.

So there is a saying that describes this very well:

The heaven and the earth all work together, and the hero is not free when transported away.

There is also a good example in the current world.The reason why Li Xingyun encountered so many crises and troubles in the early stage was able to overcome the dangers with his weak strength and became stronger all the way. Yuan Tiangang, the behind-the-scenes chess player, contributed a lot. His existence is the biggest source of luck for Li Xingyun.

Of course, the reason why Yuan Tiangang became Li Xingyun's biggest backer was also due to Li Xingyun's natural blood, which is fate.

However, although the luck of a country is similar to that of an individual, they are different.

At least, if nothing else, there should be no one who can affect the luck of the Tang Empire like Yuan Tiangang and Li Xingyun.

Therefore, Chi Yao thought over and over again, and finally said: "The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people?"

"You can see clearly!"

Yuan Tiangang clapped his palms and praised, "That's right! Good weather is for the weather, peace and harmony in the four directions is for the benefit of the place, and the people's aspirations are for the harmony of the people. If you get these three, the country will prosper. If you lose one of them, the country will be unstable. It's at stake."

How about losing all three, he didn't say, and Chi Yao didn't continue to ask, because the result is obvious, and even most countries can't survive the test of losing two of three.

Chi Yao agrees with his statement.

Among the three of heaven, earth, and people, the weather has always been the most uncontrollable, so many dynasties often experienced famine years, the fields failed to harvest, and the people had no food to eat.

If at that time, the location and the people are harmonious, then the country can only open warehouses to release food for disaster relief. There may be local turmoil, but it will not hurt the root.

But if at this time, the geographical advantage and the harmony of the people are at odds, then either the enemy bandits will gather to attack the side, or the country will rise up, and the degree of crisis will be very different in an instant.

Taking a step back, if they appear at the same time, then Emperor Jiajing who was on the crooked neck tree at a certain moment should have a deep understanding of this.

But these seem to have little to do with my own problems?

Under Chi Yao's puzzled eyes, Yuan Tiangang continued: "Since the fate of the country is a collection of the timing, location, and harmony of a country, naturally not everyone is entitled to enjoy it. Your majesty is the most important, the emperor's relatives are second, and the most important ministers are the most important." .As for the other small officials, it cannot be said that they have nothing on them, but they are better than nothing, and they cannot support the refining of the elixir."

"This so-called important minister... where is the lower limit?"

Chi Yao asked.

"...The division of official duties and responsibilities in the past dynasties has been different. If you look at the ranks of the Tang Dynasty, the third rank should be the lower limit."

Yuan Tiangang thought for a while and gave this answer.

The official ranks of the Tang Dynasty also inherited the division of nine ranks and eighteen ranks, and each rank is divided into two ranks: positive and subordinate.

Among them, besides false titles and some title awards, most of the official positions of the first and second ranks are official titles that will not be established for a long time, such as the governor, general and so on.Therefore, the highest rank with real power above the court is the third rank, such as the Zhongshu Ling and Shizhong, which can be collectively referred to as Xiangguo, and the six ministers, the sixteen generals, the imperial doctor, and the governor of Shangzhou. and many more……

It sounds like a lot, but it is undoubtedly a drop in the ocean when placed in the entire bureaucratic system.

"That is to say, even if a person whose official position is lower than the third rank, can only enjoy its side effects at most, even if he takes the elixir of death, he cannot link his lifespan with the fate of the country?"

"That's right, people who are lower than the third rank can't be brought into the country for medicine, so this so-called immortal medicine is nothing more than an ordinary pill." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

Gee!
Chi Yao smacked his lips, this kind of restriction is really quite big.

As an existence that can swim in a limited time in the long river, it is not appropriate to bind one's lifespan to a country no matter how you think about it.

In his opinion, this elixir is really only suitable for the emperor to take.In other words, if there is a world of high martial arts, characters like the ancestors of the royal family are also feasible.After all, for a dynasty, they are the bosses and shareholders.

As for the other officials, they are just wage earners, there is not much difference in essence whether they are high-level or low-level.It's not enough to do this kind of work for a lifetime, you have to do it forever.If you want to ensure the undefeated dynasty, you can't enjoy the treatment of the boss, what are you trying to do?
Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to be as loyal and hardworking as Yuan Tiangang.

It would be nice not to hold the emperor aloof and dictatorship.

But on the other hand, when the emperor of a dynasty can be emptied and power usurped by his courtiers, can this dynasty last long?
If the dynasty collapses and the fortunes of the country are lost, then those who have taken the medicine will enter the countdown to their lives.

This is simply an endless loop!

Chi Yao shook his head, throwing away complicated thoughts, anyway, it is worth learning how to obtain longevity by transporting medicines from the country.

Even if you don't take it yourself, even if there are many restrictions, this elixir is definitely a hot item.

Or the other way around, if you rebel first and become the emperor, and then use your own country's luck to refine the medicine of immortality, wouldn't everyone be happy?

"Brother Yuan please teach me."

Chi Yao cupped his hands in a salute.

　I was a little obsessed with reading a book recently, and when I remembered it, it was too late to update yesterday’s
