2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 81 The so-called "National Fortune"

Within the imperial city of Pingjing, in the emperor's bedroom.

There was no one around Chen Rui, and he thought to himself: "Old Tao, Da Honglu has returned, and at the court meeting tomorrow, the Grand Tutor may make trouble, what should I do?"

Immediately, an old voice sounded in his mind, and he said in a deep voice: "At the court meeting, Tian Xing will definitely target Du Yan, but it will definitely not be too much, and he will not really do anything to Du Yan."

"In this way, I can rest assured." Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "It's rare for a big family to stand on our side. If Tian Xing directly suppresses it, it will be difficult for my side to gather strength in the future."

"Don't worry? Boy, is this the only thing you can see?" The old voice sounded again, and said coldly: "For Tian Xing, one Du Yan is not important, not even the entire Longxi Du family is important.

"At the court meeting tomorrow, he will definitely use the matter of the extreme northern ice field to get what he wants. Attacking Du Yan is at most just a means of cutting in."

"Using the extreme northern ice field to get what he wants?" Chen Rui was a little puzzled when he heard the words, frowned and thought about it, and suddenly his face changed, and he said in horror, "Old Tao, what do you mean, Tian Xing may take advantage of this opportunity , trying to become king?"

"Otherwise?" Tao Lao asked back.

"He, how dare he really think that?!" Chen Rui was furious, his hands were shaking.

Feng Gong can still be regarded as a courtier, even if the land is set aside to build a country for him, it is only as his food.

This will not have any special impact on Da Zhao as a whole.

But it would be completely different if he was sealed as a king.

After being crowned king, the former Shiyi country will become a real country within a country, which can have decrees and systems independent of the imperial court.

Moreover, the most important point is that the current Great Zhao is the former Great Zhou State of Zhao.

Therefore, the matter of becoming a king has always been a very sensitive topic in Da Zhao.

In fact, with the achievements and prestige that Tian Xing has accumulated over the years, if he had been in the Great Zhou Dynasty before, he would have been crowned king long ago.

But in Dazhao, there was only one Duke Qi, who was the city of Qi.

"With the realm of Tianxing, if you want to go further, in this realm, you can only seek the fortune of the country." Tao Lao said solemnly, "Besides this, there is no other way."

"National fortune... No wonder he has been so keen on gaining power and occupying high positions all these years." Chen Rui's face was extremely gloomy, and he managed to calm down after taking a deep breath, and asked, "Old Tao, what should I do next? "

"If someone asks Tian Xing to become king tomorrow, you will be allowed to play." Tao Lao said lightly.

"Ah?" Chen Rui turned pale with shock and asked in puzzlement, "Why? If he is crowned king, wouldn't he be allowed to gain the fortune of the country and strengthen himself? Given time, he will definitely act against usurpers."

"Don't make him king, so he won't usurp?" Tao Lao sneered, "Boy, put down your illusions, Tian Xing is your mortal enemy, there will be no room for relaxation.

"Now what you want to think about is how to use Tian Xing's power to help us accomplish some things while preserving ourselves as much as possible, and then create opportunities for a possible comeback."

"..." Chen Rui fell into silence, nodded after a while, and said respectfully in his heart, "I see, thank you Tao Lao for your guidance, then what should I do next?"

"It's okay to be a king, but you can't just say it, let alone make it without merit. You have to let Tian Xing do something." Tao Lao said solemnly, "Although Tian Xing is rebellious, as long as he is still in the court If you usurp the throne, you have a chance to take advantage of him."

"Old Tao, please advise." Chen Rui's attitude was even more respectful.

"Let him attack Xicheng or the Southern Jin Dynasty." Tao Lao said indifferently, "The reason for asking him to be a prince at the court meeting tomorrow should be to quell the chaos in the frontier, and this request is just right.

"As long as you come back victorious this time, you can seal Tian Xing as a king, and after Tian Xing leaves Beijing, we can make some preparations for your future comeback.

"Of course, the preparation for this comeback will take as long as possible, maybe a year or two, or maybe three to five years. As for how to do it, I will tell you after he leaves Beijing."

"Thank you Tao Lao!" Chen Rui was very excited when he heard the words, he finally waited for this day, endured it for so long, in order to turn things around one day.

Even if he had to wait another three to five years, he was extremely excited.

But after the excitement was over, Chen Rui asked again with some concern: "Old Tao, do you think Tian Xing will suddenly change his mind, stop procrastinating, and directly abolish me and establish himself as emperor?"

After all, Tian Xing is too powerful.

Chen Rui often feels that there is no one in this world who can be Tian Xing's opponent. Facing such a powerful existence, thousands of troops are meaningless.

Therefore, he often worried that Tian Xing would one day not want to delay any longer and choose to usurp the throne directly.

"No." Tao Lao gave the answer very simply, "As long as he has not been crowned king, he will not be able to touch the core of the national destiny. Subjugation, such usurpation is meaningless.

"What Tian Xing needs is a stable and powerful national fortune to help him break through the realm. Before the time is completely ripe, he will absolutely not be able to usurp things.

"Furthermore, the core of the national destiny of the Great Zhou has not yet died out, and the national destiny of the nineteen states in the world is divided into three parts. If we do usurpation at this time, it will not be of any help to his cultivation at all.

"Just don't worry, before he finds the posthumous son of the former Prince of Zhou, before he kills Nanshan Gong Li Bian, and before he destroys Nanjin and Xicheng, Da Zhao's throne will be considered secure."

"Da Zhao's throne is secure, what about mine?" Chen Rui noticed the point that seemed to be deliberately ignored in this passage.

He also knew that Tian Xing was planning to abolish the establishment some time ago.

If it wasn't because of the Jing County incident that a water god suddenly appeared, this matter would not be settled.

He may now have been abolished the throne.

"Your throne is indeed unstable." Tao Lao said indifferently, "For Tian Xing, it only needs to have the Chen family sitting on the throne now, not necessarily you, so next, you should know what to do."

"Well, I understand, I will try my best to cooperate with Tian Xing, first keep this throne, and then gradually figure out the rest." Chen Rui said solemnly.

"That's right, that's exactly what it should be." Elder Tao smiled, "Just bear with it for a while."

"I understand." Chen Rui nodded, and asked again, "Old Tao, actually, I have always had a question. I'm afraid Tian Xing's realm has surpassed the realm of the gods. Is the fortune of the country so miraculous? It can make him Such a terrifying existence goes one step further!"

"Of course it's amazing." Tao Lao explained, "National luck is one of the external manifestations of human luck!"

……

"National luck is one of the external manifestations of humanitarian luck?"

Du Heng looked at the book describing the fate of the country in Chunyang Temple, and said silently in his heart, "The luck of humanity is the embodiment of the prosperity of human civilization, and an important reason for the prosperity of civilization is the order of civilization.

"The order in civilization needs to be maintained by a powerful force, which can be a country, a sect, or other big forces. As long as the rules for maintaining order are established, it will be the core of human destiny.

"If the country is the main one, the rules for maintaining order are called the National Games; if the sects are the main ones, the rules for maintaining order are called the Mandate of Heaven.

"When the fortune of the country prospers, the order will be complete, and civilization will develop accordingly, and the luck of humanity will naturally increase. If the fortune of the country declines, the order will be chaotic, and the civilization will regress, and the luck of humanity will also decline."

This is the description of "National Fortune" he found in the classics of Chunyang Temple.

It is different from Xuanxu's theory of luck.

In the descriptions of these classics, the concept of national destiny has been relatively specific. In short, it is a set of rules that can maintain the order of civilization and allow the civilization of the people to develop steadily.

However, this world is, after all, a world of extraordinary power.

This kind of rules for maintaining the order of civilization will undergo some natural evolution during the implementation process, from an invisible concept to an invisible thing.

This is what is commonly referred to as "the spirit of national destiny".

Regarding this, Du Heng had already made a conclusion, thinking to himself, "There are three core components of the national destiny: rules and regulations, core members, and common people's approval. As long as it is related to these three, it will carry the spirit of national destiny.

"However, the rules and systems have been inherited from Daxi to successive dynasties. Although there are changes, the general context remains unchanged. From this point of view, whether it is Da Zhou or Da Zhao, they are actually the continuation of Daxi's national destiny.

"In this way, only the new system established in the current dynasty will have its own aura of national destiny, such as the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and Man and the Heavenly Mystery Building in the Great Zhou Dynasty, such as the current restrictions on the Zongmen by the Great Zhao.

"The core members are easy to understand. It is a group of people who really control the country at the center and have the power to formulate the rules of the country. Most of them are royal families and princes and nobles. He controls the national destiny and naturally gathers the most national destiny. .

"It is very broad for the common people to recognize this. As long as the common people have a sense of identity with the country's rules and systems, they will naturally carry the spirit of the country's national destiny.

"The spirit of national destiny in this part is not weaker than that of the core members of the country. Therefore, generally speaking, a strong national destiny must come from the rule system that has won the support of the vast majority of the people.

"From this point of view, if I want to control the country's destiny, I need to establish a rule system that can pass through the whole country and is beneficial to the development of civilization, and it must be recognized by the vast majority of citizens.

"Besides, I have to become a core member of this country, such as princes and nobles, relatives of the emperor, so that I can gather the most aura of national destiny and then control the national destiny.

"Of course, the most direct way is to create a new country according to the rules designed by oneself, let this country become the main rule for maintaining the civilized order of the human race, and naturally control the country's destiny.

"Is this going to rebel and become the emperor? No, I still have a special identity to make a fuss about this, against Zhao Fuzhou?"

For a while, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and he gradually fell into deep thinking, asking himself.

"So, what should I do next?"

　I was too busy at work. I fell asleep on the table yesterday. I wanted to take a nap and wake up to continue writing, but I didn’t wake up. I was busy with work during the day, and it was 10 o’clock when I got home after working overtime at night. I wrote it out in a hurry I'm really sorry for this chapter~
