Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 442 Lord of the State

"Oh~ That's it. That's it, that's it."

The next morning, Purple Mountain, Dayuxi Palace.A small charcoal stove was now lit in the cold hall, and Shangluo and Zhu Xianfen were sitting on small benches warming themselves at the door.Originally there was no such charcoal stove, because Zhu Xianfen was the only one there, so he didn't feel cold after he sat there and calmed down.But now that there is one more person, I always feel that time is getting faster, and it is getting cold or hot.

"Those Romans really had the nerve to talk about 'controllable ghost ships'. This is obviously uncontrollable. They are clearly opening a drift bottle."

[Woo~~~ That’s right. It’s essentially a group of people sitting in an extra-large drifting bottle.Even launching into the water requires an 'abandonment ceremony', which involves throwing the boat into the water. 】

"Tsk~" Shangluo laughed, "It's true, after all, drift bottles can appear anywhere."

"But they can also lift the ban, right?"

"Well, after they are disarmed, I think the potential of that ship can be truly unleashed and turned into a real 'ghost wolf pack'. Now, they can't even find their way around one by one, they are just wandering around in confusion. That’s it. Because they can’t know the details of the mission, what they can really do is limited.”

"I want to say that if they want to be serious, this is what they should do." Zhu Xianfen moved the teapot on the small table to the edge of the table, "They should completely move their base of operations to the Atlantis Fortress on the Atlantic Ocean. , after all personnel are selected, they practice since childhood and remain silent for more than 10 years before starting to act. The entire fortress forms a completely independent combat system, so that it can appear and disappear all over the world in an organized and planned way. Then there will be no ship in the world. It’s safe. Even I have to worry about whether a group of sea wolves will suddenly appear in Xuanwu Lake.”

"Did we know about this before?"

"Of course I know that, but I don't know the specific details. I thought they were a submarine force that moved through jumps. After a long time, it was a bottleneck. It was even more uncontrollable and unexpected. Where is the ship now?"

"They can't move the ship for the time being, and they have to wait until we send the 'channel mark' back to Athens before the ship can go back with it. So it's parked in the pot for now, and there are heavenly soldiers taking care of it. After all, our heavenly soldiers can cross 365 Times the speed and the normal speed, even so, communication can be maintained. They were immediately confused when they entered, and it is estimated that what is sent back through any channel is clutter that is accelerated 365 times."

"Then, let's talk about another thing." Zhu Xianxian took the potato he roasted from the charcoal stove, squeezed it and found that it was not soft yet, so he put it back.

"Is it about those water tribe people?"

"It seems you already have the answer. Do you call them Water Tribe people?"

"Yes. I have confirmed that they have complete and autonomous humanity. Although this world does not belong to them, I feel that they can have their own lives - that's what I told them."

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Xianwen raised his head and glanced at him: "If I have a son, I hope this sentence can come out of his mouth." "Huh?"

"Because what you just said is the fundamental principle of the tribute system and one of the core strategies of our country governance - the world is ours, but every outsider can have his own life. As long as they don't try to mess up In this world, we do not add troops, do not govern, and do not interfere in any internal affairs, national relations, or folk customs. We do not even send envoys to supervise. Only Jin Yiwei is like a food review magazine, occasionally putting on makeup to visit the folk customs. "

"For example, in the Wanli year of Shishiyong, Zheng Shiyuan lurked in Japan and then wrote "Japanese Situation Preparation"?"

"You'll get one extra point for the history test, that's it. All we need to know is that - knowing is enough. Of course, we have sent envoys to some of the neighboring clans. For example, there are also permanent ones in Edo. If you If you interfere, there will be ethical problems. Because interference is the cause and karma is the effect. Once you start to interfere, you must be responsible for it. So we generally do not interfere. But, do you think this will work? ?”

"Is this a test of me? Well. I think this goal is good, but it is difficult to achieve. Because I have also heard that Jin Yiwei often has to go out on field trips, and there will always be times when he has to intervene. Because Ming Dynasty is The masters of the world, we have the power to govern the world. Everyone in this world will want Ming to take action when encountering injustice. If we can do it but don't, then some people will think that we, the 'heads of the family', have neglected our duties. If If we don't take action, the 'heroes' will take action for us. This family is really difficult to handle."

"Then, think about what you are doing now. After all, you are also in charge." Zhu Xianfen looked at him, "You are very tired, aren't you? That's why you came to talk to me several times."

"Yes. I don't want to interfere in the affairs of that world, but I have to uphold justice for Dan. If this is my own decision, then the unexpected intrusion of the Romans has added more variables. Now, even I I don’t know what to do. So, senior brother, what should I do at this time?”

"It's right to ask me. After all, I am already an experienced emperor. I have been the emperor for 4 years."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea.

"If you were my son, I would tell you this. If the emperor were here, he would also say this - Chapter 78 of the Tao Te Ching says: 'To accept the filth of the country is to be the ruler of the country; to accept the ominousness of the country is to be the master of the country. He is called the King of the World.’ The so-called Lord, the Son of Heaven, exists for the purpose of dealing with these karma.”

"Oh! I feel like I understand a lot all at once. Senior brother, when did you know about it?"

"The day before yesterday, the verdict of the March [-]th Murder Case was announced. Of course I have memorized the Tao Te Ching since I was a child, but I have only learned it on paper and I know that this matter must be carried out. As the leader of the country and the king of the world, I know this The matter must be decided by me. Killing him is what everyone wants. This will certainly have some ethical issues, but the inherent ethics violates the world's conditions, which means that the ethics itself is wrong. If the ethics are wrong, it should be corrected by me. I will make the decision. So I followed the good example and killed him. My decision will become a new law. From now on, no murderer will be forgiven for "father killing son". This is my decision, because I am sitting here here."

He pointed to his seat: "I sit here and inherit the great cause of Taizu Emperor Gao. I will be responsible for my decision, and my successor emperor will also be responsible for my decision, just like I was responsible for all previous emperors. I am responsible for all decisions. If there are problems, they all come to me. If I can catch it, it means destiny is with me. If I can't catch it, it means the sky is dead. After that, it doesn't matter whether it is Huang Tiantian or Bai Tianming, it has nothing to do with me - then That’s something to talk about later. But now, every day that I sit in this position, I am the master of the country who suffers the filth of the country, and I am the king of the world who suffers the ominousness of the country. So, Lord Shang Tian.”

He looked at Shangluo: "Are you ready? As the leader of that world, the king of the world in that world - the dirt of that world, the ominousness of that world, are you ready to bear it?"
