After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

"Why is that?"

As the boat sailed in the dark river, Li Chenan took his eyes back from Lu Xiaoyu's face.

He didn't care about his life experience at this time.

He looked at Fan Taohua and asked very seriously.

Fan Taohua pondered for three breaths: "After you and Ruoshui entered the Forgetting Platform, Hua Manting and I changed our original plan."

Dongfanghong and others were immediately confused upon hearing this.

She stared at Fan Taohua and asked: "What exactly does this mean? So... during the changes in Kyoto two years ago, in Yunji Bieye, did you pretend to die in front of Li Chenan?"

"Is this what you planned too?"

Fan Taohua nodded: "If I don't die, Zhongli Po will never dare to act rashly!"

"If I don't die, my sister Fan Lihua will never dare to show her face!"

"When I was planning the change in Kyoto, Hua Manting and I had a long conversation all night long... Descendants of the Dali Empire do exist!"

"And it's more powerful than we ever imagined."

"They are not in some secret realm, they have already penetrated into all parts of the world!"

"The person who knows this situation best is Princess Yun'an. During our meeting in Guangling two years ago, Princess Yun'an told me and Hua Manting a lot of news about the Dali Empire."

“A lot of it is unknown news!”

"Almost all of them have changed their names in the secular world... They have long abandoned this surname."

"In other words, a certain descendant of the Dali royal family gave his loyal supporters another surname."

"For example...the surname Lu!"

"For example... Zhongli!"

"For example...the surname Ji!"

"and many more!"

Lu Chuqi was immediately shocked. He looked at Lu Xiaoyu. Lu Xiaoyu nodded and said solemnly:
"Lu Mansion, in the original plan, my father was supposed to assist Ji Tai in seizing the power of Ning State after he became a waiter and took control of Ning State's army."

"In this way, Ning Guo can be controlled in the hands of Ji Tai without any bloodshed. All we have to do is wait for the so-called Holy Son to be born and hold the flaming jade seal, and Ning Guo will fall into the hands of the so-called Holy Son."

"Yue and Wu also have almost the same plan."

"This plan is called Jingzhe... which means the spring thunder sounds and the heaven and earth change."

"My father destroyed the Yong Kingdom and became the chief minister of the Ning Kingdom. The plan went very smoothly, but Xi Wei became my father's friend... In other words, he was both a teacher and a friend."

"Xi Wei and his father often talked at night by candlelight at that time, and they mostly talked about national affairs and world affairs."

"Xi Wei didn't know about the Jingzhe plan. He just thought that the Ning Kingdom was corrupt, and he just hoped that his father could rise up and build a new country."

"At that time, I often stayed with them to make tea for them, and I also listened to many of Xi Wei's views."

"Those views are really outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, they make a lot of sense."

"For example, he talks about the so-called divine right of kings, but who has ever seen what God looks like?"

"He said it was just an irresistible idea that the rulers instilled in the ignorant people in order to rule the world."

"He believes that the king of a country should be a capable person!"

"Heweineng?"

"He is a villain from far away and a wise minister from afar. He is magnanimous, takes the well-being of the people as his own responsibility, is diligent, thrifty, loves the people, obeys advice and so on."

"He also talked about other things, such as reflection on this thousand-year history."

"Even the Dali Empire, which was so powerful back then, fell apart. In the past thousand years, countries have changed dynasties several times. Why is this?"

Everyone looked at Lu Xiaoyu. Except for Li Chenan and Qiu Chen, the rest were considered to be members of the world.

They won't think about such things, but that doesn't stop them from being curious about it.

Qiu Chen is a learned scholar, and he has also been thinking about this issue during the twenty years he has been at White Deer Academy.

He spent 20 years and still couldn't find the root of the problem——

Corruption is, of course, one of the most important reasons for the collapse of a dynasty.

But this is the appearance!
Every emperor and ministers knew that corruption was the root of the destruction of a country, but in the end, every dynasty became corrupt.

They know it.But no one stopped it, or was powerless to stop it!

For example, the Prime Minister of Shang in Ningguo a hundred years ago.

After he became the prime minister, he opened a coffin shop in Yujing City, the capital of Ningguo, and prepared hundreds of coffins.

He did kill many corrupt officials and put those corrupt officials in coffins.

He did indeed turn the tide at that time and save Ning Guo from destruction.

But the result?

As a result, after his death, the court became even more corrupt!

Those forces that he once suppressed rebounded even more fiercely!
Even his own descendants, the Shang family in Jiangnan Road, colluded with the officials of the imperial court and became a wealthy family in Ningguo. They had long forgotten about the clean family tradition.

So, what is the root cause of this corruption?
It lies in the human heart!

The human heart is a bottomless pit.

When I have steamed buns in my hand, I would like to have another bowl of porridge.

When you have porridge, you will also think about having vegetables.

With food, I would like to sleep warmer.

So you will want a hut, a small house, a big house, and want to be promoted in order to get rich.

This is desire!
And human desires are endless!
When a small group of people gain power, they will naturally use this power to benefit themselves, their families and even their friends for the sake of their inner desires!
This is what the people say that one person can achieve enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven!

When the vast majority of people with power only have this greed in their hearts, all the officials in the court will be entangled for the same benefit!
This force will become extremely powerful.

In the end, the national capital was shaken.

Ultimately, people are in dire straits.

So somewhere there appeared some desperate people who rose up.

With a response, the wall fell down again.

So, another cycle begins.

How to solve it?
"Xi Wei believes that when establishing a new dynasty, strict laws should be imposed, education should be emphasized, taxes should be ignored, the people should be emphasized, officials should be ignored, and power should be centralized..."

"In addition, he also put forward an idea that impressed me very much."

"He said...people's hearts are selfish, and they have different thoughts due to selfishness. They should unify the thoughts of everyone above and below!"

Qiu Chen was stunned and asked: "How can these thoughts be unified?"

Lu Xiaoyu said: "Start with education!"

"Abolish hundreds of schools of thought throughout the country, and only respect the methods of Legalism!"

Xiao Baozi was stunned for a while after hearing this, "What is the art of Legalism?"

“Simply put, it’s the rule of law.”

Xiao Baozi pursed her lips slightly, feeling that this was not simple because she didn't understand what the rule of law was.

She was too embarrassed to ask.

That makes you look too uneducated.

Lu Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Father was moved by his words."

"I feel that a country like the one described by Xi Wei may be able to prosper for thousands of years."

"So, my father did not implement the Jingzhe plan. My father was moved and wanted to establish a new dynasty."

"This incident was discovered... resulting in the entire Shangche Hou Mansion being wiped out."

"At first I thought it was the Imperial City Division, but eldest son Sun Jinghong asked Wang Zheng Jinzhong to come to Meiyuan and rescue us."

"Later, Zitong and I went from Ning State to Wu State and did some business and earned some money. In order to investigate this matter, we recruited some people and established the Dark Night Society."

She looked at Fan Taohua, and did not mention the fact that the Dark Night Club found out that Zhongli Po was the one who reported the destruction of the Hou Che Hou Mansion, but said in an extremely serious tone:
"The Dali Empire has resurrected!"

"They...might have founded a country!"

Everyone was shocked, "Which country?" (End of Chapter)
