The imperial city is splendid and resplendent.
All the furnishings are extremely luxurious.
This place is the capital of the King of Tianzhu.
But now Tianzhu has become a thing of the past.
The luxury of Tianzhu's royal capital is not inferior to that of Chang'an.
This is not because the country of Tianzhu is more powerful than the Tang Dynasty, but because the people of Tianzhu are more miserable than the Tang Dynasty.
The caste system in Tianzhu has allowed 90% of the country's wealth to be concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. This level can only be achieved by one country supporting one city.
a few days ago,
Wang Ming successfully captured the capital of Tianzhu, officially sweeping the country of Tianzhu into the dust of history.
Sitting on the throne of the Kingdom of Tianzhu at this moment, Wang Ming felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Because the merits of humanity have been stabilized.
Previously, the system lacked energy drive and could not leave "Journey to the West", which made Wang Ming walk on thin ice, fearing that he would be killed if he made a mistake.
Now this wicked system has finally been supplemented by the power of merit, and it is no longer wicked and has become a good system.
The saints in "Journey to the West" are all in the outer world and cannot return to the three realms.
Even the clones of saints in the Three Realms are only quasi-sage strength.
As long as he is not a saint, the system can take Wang Ming away, and there is a chance to be resurrected even if he dies.
so.
Now Wang Ming is in an unusually relaxed mood, but there is still a hint of impatience in Wang Ming's eyes.
There are really too many government affairs.
It has been three days since Wang Ming entered Tianzhu Capital and has been dealing with government affairs non-stop.
As the territory of the Tang Dynasty continued to expand, various troubles also occurred frequently.
Especially the last few countries that Wang Ming attacked were in chaos.
The main reason is that the logistics troops have not kept up.
Wait for the logistics force to catch up.
Wang Ming thought to himself: "How about recalling Li Zhi?"
Li Zhi's ability was considered acceptable in the entire history of China. Wang Ming was not worried about leaving the entire Tang Dynasty in his hands.
The biggest impression he will give people in later generations is that he married the woman whose father is his father. He is the emperor, his wife is the emperor, and his son is also the emperor...
But the entire Tang Dynasty had the largest territory and the most prosperous period was when he was in power.
He only deliberately supported Wu Zetian and used her as a tool to fight with officials.
It can be said that Wu Zetian's role was similar to that of the Ming Dynasty emperor who used eunuchs to balance the civil servants.
The only thing Li Zhi missed was that he didn't expect Wu Zetian to survive.
Wu Zetian was 60 years old at the time, and she thought she would go see him in a few days, but she almost lost the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Ming thought for a while, then shook his head and gave up the plan.
Today, Wang Ming has successfully been promoted from emperor to human king again.
The real king of people.
but,
Wang Ming wanted to abdicate.
Once the power of merit is obtained, there is no need to continue to possess it. The status of human king is easy to use.
This is true.
But there are advantages and disadvantages. If someone deliberately causes anger and resentment in the human world, Wang Ming will be blamed if he doesn't handle it well.
Wang Ming didn't do this before when Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and Taoism didn't do it because Wang Ming didn't have enough time. Moreover, they needed the luck of the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty collapsed, they would not get any benefits.
I'm afraid they won't care about this at this time.
Wang Ming's abdication was a good thing for himself and the Tang Dynasty, and it was even better for Li Zhi.
After he abdicated, the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty had no influence on him; Wang Ming was not a human queen, and the gods, Buddhas, and immortals were not in the mood to target the Tang Dynasty; it was even better for Li Zhi, who was made into a middle-aged man by Wang Ming.
only,
All of this would have to wait until Wang Ming returned to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty before he could abdicate.
Thinking of this, Wang Ming looked outside the main hall, his eyes passed through many spaces, and relying on the connection of luck as coordinates, Wang Ming saw the situation in Bhikkhu Kingdom, Mie France and other places at this time.
"Li Shimin still has too few sons." Wang Ming sighed.
Every time Wang Ming attacked a place, he would enfeoff Li Shimin's son to the place and let him establish the country.
It is wrong to directly send court officials to manage the newly conquered territory.
In newly conquered places, many officials from the old dynasty were often employed. Furthermore, the power of the feudal dynasty did not extend to towns and villages. The court officials went to do more business and said hello to them, hello to me, hello to everyone.
Just don't make any big noise during his term and work together to make money.
The Qin Dynasty was like this.
Liu Bang learned from the Qin Dynasty's lesson and made his relatives kings to suppress the local area.
If the king who created a feudal country wanted profits and taxes, he could only fight with the local powerful, because in the eyes of the king, these were the mice in the family.
but……
The disadvantage is that the feudal king has full wings and will rebel sooner or later.
It's just that Wang Ming doesn't think about this anymore, so just do the opposite!
That must have been decades later. At that time, every region was marked by the Han people.
Even if there is a civil war, the meat will rot in the pot.
At this time, Wang Ming was worried about where to find some vassal kings to guard the newly acquired territory.
At this moment, Wang Ming's expression changed and he looked in a certain direction.
next moment,
Four figures appeared in the hall.
"Why are you back?"
Wang Ming asked in surprise.
The four people who appeared were the four who had learned from the experience.
Seeing the four of them, Wang Ming sensed that there was no change in the power of merit on his body, and he suddenly changed.
Wang Ming has been keeping an eye on the merits of Journey to the West.
Waiting to break through to Daluo Jinxian!
It is true that the cultivation level improved by the power of merit has the lowest combat power.
But Wang Ming did not rely solely on the power of merit to practice cultivation. He completely used the power of merit to advance his cultivation further and break the final shackles.
If there were fewer Daluo Jinxian in this world, Wang Ming could break through on his own without the power of merit.
It's just that the Daluo Golden Immortal City in the current Journey to the West world is saturated, and every carrot is a pit, making it difficult for a new Daluo to be born.
"That group of moths in Lingshan. The four of us, the master and the disciple, traveled thousands of miles to Lingshan to obtain the true scriptures, but in the end they came to us for help. It's really hateful." Sun Wukong cursed angrily.
At this time, the Buddhas and the four great Bodhisattvas left Lingshan, but Ananda Kassapa was still there.
It still focuses on personnel matters just like the original work.
"I originally thought they would give in and give us the true scriptures after being threatened by Senior Brother, but those guys gave us a bunch of wordless false scriptures. It's really hateful." Sha Wujing, a taciturn and honest man, was so angry that he cursed us. .
Wang Ming was confused, why did he come to him even if he had just returned to exchange for the false scriptures?
Zhu Bajie stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, those guys in Lingshan are so bullying. They obviously asked us to come here to learn the scriptures. However, we came here after all the hard work with gifts, and they actually didn't give us the scriptures. Your Majesty, please March westward to Lingshan."
Wang Ming was confused when he heard this, and said to himself: "How much has he drunk?"
As a result, the officials below also became restless at this moment.
A young radical official came out from among the hundreds of officials and asked: "Your Majesty! We must march to the west. The main seat of Lingshan Dayiyin Temple must not be without the icon of Emperor Xuanyuan."
"Second! We must march westward!"
"Second! We must march westward!"
"Second! We must march westward!"
