I rely on talking to brush the copy

How short is ten years?

For a monk, it is just a drop in the ocean in a long life. Decades and hundreds of years of seclusion are common in the world of cultivation.

How long is ten years?

For a mortal, ten years is enough time to rise up and overthrow a dynasty.

Le Jing stood on the high platform holding the jade seal passed down from the country.

Not far away, the voice of the messenger sounded loudly:

"...I am the king of China. Since the end of the Liang Dynasty, destiny has destined the real person to live in the wilderness and enter China to be the master of the world...I am a common people, blessed by the Lotus Immortal, and the spirit of my ancestors, so I take advantage of the autumn of chasing deer to become a hero. On the left and right... Today, the ministers of civil and military affairs and all the people have joined forces to persuade me to advance, respecting me as the emperor, and taking charge of Qianli... I will be called Dachu in the world, Jianyuan Pingkang... I will announce it to the world, and the Xian envoys will hear about it. "

The man in the dragon robe was supported by the chamberlain, and under the watch of civil and military officials, he walked step by step towards the high platform and towards Lejing.

Eight years have passed since he first met a man.

A lot has happened in these eight years.

Daliang was eventually destroyed, but it was not the monsters or the grassland tribes that destroyed it, but the peasant uprising army.

The man in front of him was the leader of a certain rebel army. He led his troops to fight in the north and south, and finally sounded the death knell of Daliang with his own hands.

Under the gaze of all civil and military officials, Emperor Pingkang, Han Yong, walked step by step towards the immortal master on the high platform, with many thoughts.

Ten years have passed, and his hair has grown on his temples, but the appearance of the immortal master has not changed at all. He still looks like a young man when they first met him.

Thinking about that day, he was just a small defender in Beihuang City, and he never dared to think that he would have such good fortune in the future.

Without the immortal, he would not be what he is today.

At first, he just wanted to repay the favor. So I clung to the immortal master shamelessly, hoping to do my best.

How did things develop into what they were?

Oh, yes, it was the demons who colluded with the barbarians and wanted to annex Daliang. They used Li Daitao's plan to kill Liang Emperor.

Fortunately, this conspiracy was discovered by the immortals, and they drove the demon clan back to the grassland. But Daliang's situation did not get better.

There was a severe drought for several years, and people died of hunger all over the land. They exchanged their sons for food, but Emperor Liang hid in the palace and lived in intoxication, regardless of the life and death of the people. Therefore, large and small uprising teams slowly appeared in Liang.

After hesitating for three days and three nights, Han Yong said goodbye to the immortal and joined the rebel army.

When he met the immortal again, Han Yong was already a general with 50,000 soldiers under his command. The immortal is still an immortal, with elegant posture and unparalleled nobleness.

He didn't know where he fell in love with the immortal. He only knew that from that day on, the immortal taught him some very precious knowledge from time to time. The immortal called it: the art of slaying dragons.

Although the immortal did not recognize the title of master and apprentice, in his mind, he always respected the immortal as a master.

With the help of dragon-slaying skills, his team became larger and larger, and he became more and more prestigious among the people.

Finally, he wore a yellow robe and became the new emperor.

If it weren't for the Immortal Master, he would probably have died on the battlefield by now.

But this just proves one thing - he really has destiny! He is the Emperor Star who is destined to calm down the troubled times!

That's why an immortal master came down to earth to assist him, and that's why he was able to learn the "Dragon Slaying Technique" from the immortal master. That's why he was able to overthrow the rotten beams in just ten years, end the troubled times, and create a country where the people can have enough food and clothing. The warm and beautiful world.

Therefore, he only wanted peace and prosperity for the people.

He was originally a commoner, but only with God's blessing could he rise to great heights, eventually founding the Yuan Dynasty and establishing the country, achieving great achievements. So he wants to be a good emperor that the people like.

Emperor Pingkang stepped up the last step, faced the immortal master's shining glazed eyes, bowed his hands and said, "Disciple pays homage to the immortal master."

Le Ding nodded, slightly raised the jade seal in his hand, and said in a clear and penetrating voice: "Emperor Ai of Liang was dissolute and ignorant, which ruined the life of Daliang for 253 years. Today, the purple energy is coming from the east. , the emperor's star has returned to its throne, and you are destined to return. A certain deity has entrusted the imperial seal to you in the hope that you can create a peaceful life. "

Emperor Pingkang respectfully took the imperial seal, with a hint of arrogance inadvertently showing in his brows and eyes: "I, I sincerely follow the teachings of the immortal master."

Then he turned around and held up the jade seal in his hand. At the foot of the steps, all the civil and military officials bowed their heads and bowed three times and bowed nine times. They said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live long live..." The cheers of the people could be heard in the distance.

Emperor Pingkang lowered his eyes and swept away, only to see a sea of ​​prostrate people. Everyone knelt on the ground and worshiped him. From now on, he is the master of everyone in the world! He took a deep breath, his heart was racing, and his thoughts were racing.

He raised his hand and felt that he had never been so high-spirited before: "Young ladies, please bow down without courtesy."

"The king's boat and the people's water, the people can carry the boat and capsize it. Today you promised them to create a peaceful and prosperous age. If you can't do it in the future, these prostrate people will turn into hungry wolves and tear you to pieces. Then replace it later." A clear and elegant voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and the unmistakable murderous intent inside it frightened Emperor Pingkang, and his overheated brain quickly regained consciousness.

He subconsciously turned his eyes and was caught off guard by a pair of cold glass eyes. The monk's words, mixed with the cold breath of ice and snow, still echoed in his mind:

"You were born in the grass, but you can rule the world. It's not God's favor, but purely because Emperor Liang Ai was tyrannical and unpopular. The world has suffered from Liang for a long time. It was the people of the world who helped you win the throne. If you can't let the people live a good life, then you will be the next Emperor Liang Ai to be overthrown."

Emperor Pingkang took a deep breath, and his floating heart suddenly fell. His expression suddenly returned to stability. He bowed to Le Jing again, this time bowing deeply, and his expression was more solemn. "I will examine myself three times a day and never forget the immortal master's teachings today."

He stood up, and there was no one in front of him. Just like the immortal master appeared mysteriously that day, now he disappeared mysteriously. As the saying goes, when the matter is done, he will leave, hiding his merits and fame②.

But there are legends in the world.

The people passed on a legend by word of mouth. It is said that in the last years of Liang, Emperor Ai lost his way, demons rose up, and the people were living in misery. An immortal came down to the world to subdue demons and help the country. There is a wise man in the northern wilderness, brave and good at fighting, and brave. The immortal knew about it, and passed on the technique in a dream, which helped to establish a country. The country was named Chu, and the reign was Pingkang. From then on, the sea was calm and the river was clear, and the world was peaceful.

…

When the new emperor ascended the throne, there would naturally be a three-day celebration. The streets were filled with gongs and drums, dragons and lions were dancing, and it was so lively. Le Jing, Su Jian and Lu Qingling walked through it, like a drop of water blending into the sea, incomparably harmonious.

These ten years also left a deep mark on Lu Qingling. She became more peaceful and calm.

Lu Qingling felt that these ten years were more colorful and exciting than her past decades of life.

Why did she choose to follow Le Jing and Su Jian in the first place?

Probably because it felt good to be worshipped and protected by the people.

It could also be because she wanted to know what Le Jing and Su Jian wanted to do?

And she was not disappointed. This was indeed a magnificent, ups and downs, exciting and thrilling journey.

Over the past ten years, she followed the footsteps of Le Jing and Su Jian and traveled all over the world - the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sound of firecrackers, the magnificent waves of the long rivers stretching for hundreds of miles, the lingering plum rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River, the magnificent Milky Way in the night sky of the northern desert... The lights of thousands of houses and the vast mountains and rivers in the mundane world are more magnificent than she could imagine.

She gradually understood how brilliant and dazzling the light of ant-like mortals can be at the moment of life and death, and realized that although mortals have a limited lifespan, they can create eternal glory, which is the greatness of mortals.

More importantly, she personally sounded the death knell for a decadent dynasty and witnessed the rise of a new dynasty with her own eyes.

But this is far from the end of their journey, and they are far from achieving their ultimate goal - peace.

What they pursue is not a short-term peace that needs to be maintained by force, but a peace that will last for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their ultimate goal is: the great harmony of the world.

This great harmony is not only the great harmony within the human race, but also the great harmony of the human and demon races. They dream that all creatures in the world can abandon prejudice and hatred and live in peace to the greatest extent possible.

There may be small wars in some areas, but most areas are peaceful. Humans and demons have houses to live in, food to eat, children to be educated, students to be taught, workers to be paid, the sick to be treated, the elderly to be taken care of, the homeless to be housed, and the weak to be supported③. This is the beautiful world of great harmony recorded in ancient books.

This is destined to be a difficult and long road.

But this is the world they dream of, and it is also the motivation for their struggle to this day.

It is precisely because of this that their team is getting bigger and bigger, and their comrades are increasing.

Lu Qingling looked at the back of the young monk with admiration.

He is her mentor, comrade and brother.

He is also the immortal sun in the hearts of all of them.

All of them firmly believe that he is guiding them on a path that will benefit future generations.

…

The children on the street excitedly set off firecrackers, with a carefree smile on their faces-this is the smile brought by peace.

Le Jing thought, maybe his hands were stained with blood along the way, but he did nothing wrong after all.

The danger of Beihuang City that day was just the starting point of the demon clan's conspiracy.

A hundred years ago, the human-monster war ended in a bitter defeat, and the cultivation world won. Although the demon clan retreated to the grassland, they have been ready to move in recent years, clamoring to take back the Central Plains and dominate the land of Jiuzhou again.

In order to restore their former glory, the demon clan spent all their money and spent a lot of money. The first to fight was a Yuanying Zhenren, who wanted to catch the human cultivators off guard and grab more benefits and territory before the human cultivators could react.

Moreover, the capital of Daliang is only a few hundred kilometers away from Beihuang City. After they break through Beihuang, it will only take a few days for them to march north to take the capital.

If it weren't for Le Jing and his insistence on defending the city, the capital of Daliang would fall in a few days.

When Emperor Taizu of Liang founded the country, he made the capital the capital, with the intention of "the emperor guards the country, the king dies for the country", which is to let the descendants be prepared for danger in times of peace and be vigilant against the movements of the grassland barbarians at all times. Unfortunately, the good intentions of the ancestors cannot overcome the incompetence of the descendants.

The current emperor is greedy for money and lust, selling official positions and titles, and making a lot of money. His officials also follow suit, levying heavy taxes and making the administration chaotic. In addition, natural disasters have occurred continuously in recent years, and the people are living in poverty. The remaining troops of Daliang are used to suppress the peasant uprisings in the country, so naturally they can't take care of the grassland barbarians.

It can be said that the timing of the grassland barbarians' attack was very clever, just when Daliang was busy with its own affairs. If they really succeeded, they might really change the dynasty and compete for the Central Plains.

The way of heaven is balance.

Therefore, even if there was a war between humans and demons a hundred years ago, the human monks did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive out the demons.

So this time the demon clan insisted on launching a national war, the immortal clan boss would not sit idly by and resolutely launched the second human-monster war, and paid a heavy price to drive the demon clan back.

The root cause of these two human-monster wars was that the demons multiplied too much and expanded their territory without any bottom line, squeezing the resources of the human race. That's why the human monks launched a war to artificially reduce the number of demons and restore balance between the human and demon races.

The demon tribe launches wars again and again, and its fundamental purpose is just to seize more survival resources. The grassland tribes have coveted the Central Plains for the same reason since ancient times. Compared with the Central Plains, which has fertile land and beautiful mountains and rivers, the Saibei grassland is too barren.

Therefore, in the war between humans and monsters, and in the war between Han people and grasslands, there is no absolute justice or absolute evil. In the final analysis, it is just because in ancient times the productivity was underdeveloped and resources were scarce. Every nation and every race wanted to take away more resources from the limited survival resources in order to maintain the continuation of the race. However, humans and monsters, Han people and grasslands are not mutually exclusive relationships that cannot coexist.

Le Jing grew up singing "Fifty-Six Nations and Fifty-six Flowers". He clearly knows how close the Chinese nations can be without distinction between each other.

To achieve this, we must ensure the absolute strong position of Han culture, otherwise peace will be impossible to talk about.

That's why Lejing used strong tactics to suppress the invasion of the northern grassland tribes from the beginning. The peoples on the grasslands have always only obeyed the strong. If they cannot do what Huo Qubing did, "Destroy my Qilian Mountains, and my six animals will not be able to live. Lose my Yanzhi Mountain, and my married women will have no color." Then the grassland tribes will never be able to become the Chinese nation. a member of the nation.

Although it sounds cold and cruel, this has been the Han nationality's foreign policy since ancient times: kill first and appease later.

History has proven that this routine is very effective.

So LeJing followed suit.

He carefully selected a good seedling and subtly instilled his ideas into him (of course, spiritual hints were indispensable). The new emperor of Da Chu would naturally implement Le Jing's ideas as his own. This is also the most convenient and quick way to increase domestic productivity. Because since ancient times, top-down reforms have been much easier than bottom-up reforms.

Expelling the Tartars and restoring China is only the first step, and it is also a crucial step. The order must not be messed up, so that Lejing will not make mistakes such as "to fight against the outside world, we must calm down the inside."

Only with a peaceful environment can we restore the economy, vigorously develop productivity, guide the industrial revolution, create more survival resources, effectively alleviate racial conflicts, and move from a well-off society for all to common prosperity.

And... Lejing has another idea.

Monks are generally very smart - even stupid people can't practice Taoism. And because they have a long life, they have a lot of time and energy to study some weird things after they are full and have pain in their balls. Le Jing discovered it among them. Early astronomers, biologists, civil engineers, chemists, surgeons and other technical talents.

They combined spiritual power with their own hobbies and actually developed many wonderful uses of spiritual power - such as the Yao Sect disciple who was clearly in the world of cultivation but illuminated Yuan Longping's skills - he developed the version of the world of cultivation. "Jin Ke La", a thousand kilograms of wheat per mu is not a dream.

So Le Jing couldn't help but have an idea - will it be possible to develop psychic technology one day in the future?

What kind of sparks will emerge from the combination of cultivation civilization and industrial civilization? Le Jing's heart surged just after thinking about it for a moment, wishing he could travel to the next generation to find out.

But the road is taken step by step, and you will never become fat if you are anxious.

For the bright future with unlimited possibilities, Leking must take every step of the present step well.

Will the future get better?

Lejing can definitely answer, yes.

Because the pursuit of a better life is an instinct engraved in human genes. Any attempt to oppose, distort, or eliminate this point is an atrocity against humanity.

After getting used to a prosperous and peaceful life, no one wants to start a war. If anyone insists on launching a war, then he is the enemy of all mankind and a sinner who will be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. The people will tear him to pieces first.

Human history has always developed in an upward spiral. So although there will be many iterations and reversals in the middle, there is a bright and beautiful ending waiting for everyone.

What will the world look like in the future?

That would be a long, long story.

If he's lucky enough, Le Jing will see the answer one day.

For this reason, he will try to live longer.

The author has something to say:

①Adapted from Zhu Yuanzhang’s enthronement edict

② When things are done, brush off your clothes and hide yourself and your name. Although this poem is very classic, but just in case, let’s talk about it from Li Bai’s "Xia Ke Xing".

③Education for young children, education for students, income for work, medical treatment for diseases, support for the elderly, housing and support for the weak: Select from the self-study speech

Also, gay is not a modern word, it is an ancient saying. "Guoyu·Jinyu IV" explains the word comrade: "With the same virtue, we have the same heart, and if we have the same heart, we are comrades."

There may be an extra story below.

Due to a previous operation error, Chapter 96 was sent as an empty saved chapter and could not be deleted, so this time the extra chapter will be sent to Chapter 96_(:з”∠)_

I believe everyone can see that the prototype of Daliang is actually the Ming Dynasty. I am a die-hard Qinghei fan, so I really want to change this period of history, but because I am afraid that it will lead to sensitive issues such as historical nihilism and be censored, I set it as a fiction. Therefore, the setting of this article is not strictly set according to the history of the Ming Dynasty, because it is fictional!

Then there will be another world next, and this book will be completely finished! Because this book was accidentally written as a slow travel, it is too long. If it follows the original plan, I will have to write almost one million, which is too scary and I can't do it. I want to start a new article (whispering)

The next world is the interstellar era! The earth is destroyed, and humans move to other planets, causing the loss of earth civilization. The protagonist travels through time and reproduces the story of ancient earth civilization by making a movie! I hope you like it~
