I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 614 The Number One Beauty in the Three Realms, Xia Heng'e

In ancient times, not only the European continent had a citizen assembly, but the Chinese mainland also had people discussing politics.

Just as the Citizens' Assembly is an occasion for the nobles to win the support of public opinion, the discussion of state affairs by the people of the country is also an occasion for the princes and nobles to win the support of public opinion.

Citizens and countrymen do not have the right to elect officials, or even remove officials.

After Xia'e became Luo Yi's toolman, Luo Yi held a national government discussion in Haiyang City.

Haiyang City Square.

There are 3000 citizen families of the Haishi tribe participating in this national discussion.

Luo Yi and Xia'e sat in the center of the square where the people of the country were discussing politics, and took the initiative to introduce it to the people of the country.

"My countrymen! I am the emperor Luo Yi who will become the co-lord of the world. The girl next to me is the daughter of the co-lord Xia Houjie. She will become my wife and inherit Xia Houjie's status as the co-lord of the world. Under my rule, you can speak freely about any dissatisfaction with the policies of the Athenian Empire."

What are you dissatisfied with?
Under the rule of Luo Yi, ordinary families can own [-] mu of land, and Chinese families can own [-] mu of land.

And tax corvée equals full exemption——

Although Roy is an outsider, Roy's rule is more than ten times better than that of the local princes and nobles.

Compared with the local princes and nobles, no one can express their dissatisfaction.

No one in the world is a fool.

These Chinese people absolutely did not drive away the outsiders and let the princes and nobles continue to squeeze and exploit themselves.

Just when Roy felt that no one wanted to express his opinion, an old man stood up and said.

"Emperor! Your policies are better than those of our own princes and nobles. I am only worried about whether these policies will be changed overnight. You have just ruled us now, so you will naturally treat us better. Wait until later—"

The old man didn't finish talking.

Roy said with a smile.

"I believe you all have such doubts, but I can assure you that the policies of the Athenian Empire will only make your life better and better. Because under the rule of the Athenian Empire, I am not the one who appoints and dismisses the officials in charge, but It is up to you to elect and dismiss officials. If the officials you elect cannot make you live a better life, it is not my fault."

Hearing what Roy said, all the people in the country were in an uproar.

After all, this is the era when princes and generals are born with seeds.

Tracing back to the ancestors, the princes and nobles are all descendants of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

Now Roy actually wants to break the tradition and let the people of the country control the appointment and dismissal of those in power——

Even Xia E, as Luo Yi's fiancée, couldn't help but say.

"If you do this, will you cause chaos in the world?"

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Your father will lose to Cheng Tang because the Xia Kingdom is Xia Jie's Xia Kingdom, not the Xia Kingdom of princes and nobles and people. Even if the king changes, it will have no effect on the people of the country. Cheng Tang's army is only 6000 people. Even if Xia Jie loses the battle of Mingtiao, he should not lose Xia Kingdom. The princes and nobles of Xia Kingdom have no resistance to Cheng Tang who won the battle of Mingtiao, which is the real reason for Xia Jie's defeat. Now I let the people of the country become The masters of the country, give them power and wealth that the princes and nobles can never give, and the people of the country will definitely defend the Athenian Empire. Because they are not fighting for me, but to keep their own power and wealth."

Cheng Tang defeated Xia Jie in the Battle of Mingtiao, and immediately led his army westward, and soon occupied the capital of Xia, Chuzhen.

Xia Guo's relatives and ministers all expressed their willingness to surrender to Cheng Tang.

After Chengtang appeased the subjects of Xia State, he held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven in Zhenwu, showing to the subjects of Xia State that they were punishing the guilty Jie according to the will of God.

Maybe when Cheng Tang came, he would exploit the people of Xia Kingdom.

Could it be that when Xia Jie was around, he didn't exploit the people of Xia Kingdom?
Being ruled by Cheng Tang was no different from being ruled by Xia Jie. Naturally, the princes, nobles and people had no reason to defend Xia Jie to the death.

The second day of the People's Political Consultative Conference.

Roy took Xia'e and a large fleet of 5000 people to the South Nest ruled by the Nest Kingdom.

Yangtze River waters.

Flagship of the Athenian fleet.

Roy stood at the bow and admired the scenery along the coast.

Standing beside Luo Yi, Xia'e's long hair and sleeve skirt were blown high by the wind.

Looking at this delicate and lovely girl, Luo Yi couldn't help but think of Chang'e, the number one beauty in the Three Realms with the same name as her.

Chang'e's husband, Xia Houyi, is the monarch of a poor country and the sixth generation of Xia Houyi in the Xia Dynasty.

As Xia Houyi's wife, Chang'e is of course also from the Xia Dynasty.

Chang'e, also known as Heng'e, ascended to the moon because she stole the elixir.

The Shang Dynasty hexagram [Gui Zang] recorded the most original version of [Chang'e Flying to the Moon]. However, [Gui Zang] has been lost for a long time, and only two Qin bamboo slips [Gui Zang · Gui Mei] remain.

It is recorded above-the former Chang'e who stole and never died [missing] flew to the moon, and took [missing].

In the pre-Qin period, [Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Xi Jing] recorded that there was a woman Fang Yuyue, and Di Jun’s wife Chang Xi gave birth to the twelfth month of the month. Xi gave birth to twelve moons, and only then began to bathe the moons].

The three characters Xi, Yi and E have the same ancient pronunciation, and the moon connects Heng'e and Changxi, so the combination of the names of Heng'e and Changxi becomes Chang'e.

Both Heng'e and Changxi are the prototypes of Chang'e, but Heng'e and Changxi are two completely different goddesses.

Houyi's wife, Heng'e, became the moon god by taking the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West.

Before the Shang Dynasty, the monarch called the queen, so the queen of the Xia Dynasty was the king.

The original hieroglyphs of Tuzi represent women, so Tuzi is mother.

The Queen Mother of the West before the Shang Dynasty was actually the Empress of the West.

The Eastern Niaoyi tribe represented by the Shang Dynasty worshiped the sun god Emperor Jun.

Because the Niaoyi tribe is located in the east, the sun god Emperor Jun is also the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The Xia Kingdom is located to the west of the Niaoyi tribe, so Houtu, the goddess of the earth in the Xia Kingdom, is also called the West Houtu—that is, the Queen Mother of the West.

The Goddess of the Earth, Nuwa, Empress Houtu, and Queen Mother of the West, is the most powerful, oldest and most authoritative goddess in the mainland of China.

Heng'e flew to the moon and became a god because of the favor of the Queen Mother of the West, Houtu.

Chang Xi is the Moon God because she is the wife of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Sun God Di Jun.

Chang'e, formed by the fusion of Heng'e and Changxi, is related to the most powerful goddess and the most powerful male god at the same time.

This complicates tracing Chang'e's origins.

Luo Yi originally thought that Heng'e, like Xia'e, was also a princess of the Xia Kingdom.

Hou Yi usurped the throne of Xia Guojun, and in order to increase the legitimacy of his usurpation of the throne, he married Xia Guo Princess Heng'e as his wife.

But the surname of the King of Xia is Si, and the surname of Hang'e is Hang.

So there is another possibility for Heng'e's identity.

During Hou Yi's reign, he conquered the Niaoyi tribe who worshiped the sun god Emperor Jun—this is the prototype of the myth of Hou Yi's shooting of the nine suns.

Just like Meixi is the princess of the Shi tribe who was conquered by Xia Jie.

Heng'e is actually the princess of the Niaoyi tribe who was conquered by Houyi.

The Niaoyi tribe worships the sun god Dijun, and gods related to the sun, such as the fire god and the moon goddess, are also worshiped as vassals of the sun god Dijun.

Heng'e was the wife of Xia Houyi, who worshiped the goddess of the earth, but she became a vassal moon god of the sun god worshiped by the Niaoyi tribe, perhaps because she was from the Niaoyi tribe.

Heng'e's identity may be a witch who serves the moon god.

It is also possible that she was the miko of the sun god Dijun - so she was regarded as Dijun's wife.
