Chapter 223 Lian Hongying: Accompany me tonight
Martial arts are private, and for the strong, great power belongs to themselves, so they do not have to rely on organizations and groups, so they can often completely proceed from their own interests without having to compromise.
In today's Rakshasa Girl Kingdom, vested interests are intertwined. There are various factions within the kingdom. They form four circles around the four veteran warriors. The power struggle between them is becoming increasingly fierce.
Although Lian Hongying is a princess and has martial arts skills, she has actually been outside the "system" all year round.
The reason is also very simple. The power and resources of the royal family are mainly in the hands of the king. As long as Lian Huozhi does not abdicate for a day, the power in her hands will not fall on Lian Hongying.
What's more, even if Lianhuozhi relinquishes his position as king and goes to Yujing to obey the Queen Mother of the West, the leader of the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom may not be able to take Lianhongying's turn.
The reason is very simple. The first princess, Lian Qixia, is now in a great position. She has been working hard in the royal capital for many years and has won the support of more powerful people in the country.
In addition, Lian Qixia herself also has the realm and cultivation level of the tenth level, so she can be said to have an advantage in the fight for inheritance.
In contrast, Lian Hongying had been obsessed with cultivation over the years and had no other power or connections except his fiefdom of Huajian City.
Within five years, according to conventional competition, it would never be possible to attract more help than Lian Qixia, because Lian Qixia would never watch Lian Hongying take the lead.
This is the biggest dilemma facing Lian Hongying.
The solution proposed by Ye Qingzhou is also very simple and crude. If it cannot win over the nobles, then it will win over the lower class, especially those civilian heroes who have been excluded by the ruling class.
“What exactly do I do?”
It had to be said that Lian Hongying was very excited at this moment. Although she was born in the aristocratic class of the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom, she had now become a martial god. Naturally, she was more concerned about her own interests.
Especially the advice given by Ye Qingzhou is closely related to the casting of her exclusive magic weapon. As a result, Lian Hongying will naturally be more difficult to let go.
"It's very simple, martial arts."
"Martial arts?"
"Using martial arts to recruit warriors, recruit ordinary people and heroes from the Rakshasa tribe, and give them the opportunity to advance to the next level. Naturally, they can gather new destiny and form a decisive force."
The power of thought in Kunlun Cave is basically monopolized by West Kunlun and divided up by the "Hundred Gods" headed by the Queen Mother of the West. The eight hundred feudal states are not qualified to intercept it, and they are not allowed to believe in the "Hundred Gods" in private. Gods other than the gods, otherwise they are obscene sacrifices and will usher in the wrath of heaven and suffer punishment from heaven.
Therefore, Ye Qingzhou could only find another way and start from the "national destiny" of the Rakshasa Girl Country.
In the current Rakshasa Girl Country, the national destiny is controlled by the royal family and nobles, while the people are cruelly squeezed to the extreme, with almost no resistance.
Therefore, if a savior appears and is willing to help those at the bottom, he will immediately get the response and support of the people.
After listening to Ye Qingzhou's suggestion, Lian Hongying suddenly frowned: "Martial arts exams? Our Rakshasa Girl Kingdom has already set up martial arts academies in various cities in the country to select talents for the kingdom. Why bother with this? What?”
"This is different."
Ye Qingzhou patiently explained the difference: "The establishment of the martial arts academy teaches martial arts, but it only serves to select soldiers. The martial arts exam I am talking about is to select talents through martial arts examinations and award advanced martial arts moves. Later, military merit will even be used to judge nobles, giving lower-level civilians the opportunity to become new military aristocrats.”
"Military merit is discussed!?"
After Lian Hongying learned the core of it, he was instantly surprised.
These four words have a great impact on the Rakshasa women's country, which is still dominated by nobles.
Regardless of the fact that the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom already has powerful warriors in the realm of warrior gods, in fact, in terms of civilization, it is still an extremely backward feudal aristocratic system.
Bringing the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Permanent Constitutions here can be regarded as an advanced idea.
You know, in the country of Rakshasa women, class divides the entire country's people into three, six or nine classes. Common people are brutally exploited, and slaves are even more miserable. They don't even have human dignity, and their status is worse than that of cattle and horses.
At least cattle and horses were usually worth more than slaves.
What is even worse is that there has been no social change in Kunlun Dongtian, and the enfeoffment system has lasted for thousands of years, lacking a selection and promotion mechanism similar to the imperial examination.
As a result, the entire society has become a stagnant water.
Those at the bottom will always be at the bottom.
People at the top will always be at the top.
There is no flow of talents between classes in the entire Rakshasa Kingdom, let alone innovation and change. There is only eternal oppression and exploitation.
And this is why the two martial saints Yuan Jinyou and Duan Qianfeng rose up to resist. Even if they were promoted to martial saints, they did not have the status of nobles. They could only be cruelly squeezed by the royal family and nobles, and would never get the respect they deserved.
"Do you know what it means to do this?"
Lian Hongying looked at Ye Qingzhou with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through all his thoughts.
Ye Qingzhou had a nonchalant attitude. After all, if things continued, he would be the one to benefit, while the people who would pay the price would be the royal family and nobles of the Rakshasa Girl Country.
Such a dead Taoist friend will not die as a poor Taoist, why not do it?
Faced with Lian Hongying's question, Ye Qingzhou behaved very calmly: "Your Highness, everything in this world has a price. How can you achieve a great cause if you don't want to take any risks? A magical weapon can't be It will automatically appear in your hand. To build a magical weapon, bloodshed and sacrifice are always inevitable.”
Lian Hongying was silent for a long time after hearing this.
In order to gain acceptance from West Kunlun and gain recognition from the Queen Mother of the West, how many tribesmen had died in the war over thousands of years in the original Rakshasa Girl Kingdom?
Even the immortal Martial God has to put his body into the game and go to Yujing to "do corvee service". He can only enjoy eight hundred years of wealth in the world. Isn't this a small price to pay?
How many Rakshasa tribesmen's blood are stained on the blades of the Luanfeng swords, the divine weapons of the country?
It can be seen from this that the road to becoming a king has always been forged with countless corpses.
As soon as the policy of martial arts comes out, the whole country of Rakshasa women will be in turmoil.
Allowing civilians to be promoted to nobles based on military merit is undoubtedly an attempt to break the original aristocratic political ecology. To put it bluntly, it is destroying the jobs of the nobles and even the royal family.
But the benefits are also very obvious...
If the martial arts policy can be implemented smoothly, the civilian martial arts geniuses of the Rakshasa tribe will automatically gather around Lian Hongying and continue to move closer to her.
If a king wants to inherit his destiny, he must gather talents, because talents are often born with the luck of their ethnic group. Only by gathering enough people can we form "harmony", and even take this opportunity to unite as one, accept the destiny of God, and become a human king.
"Your Highness, I seek wealth and honor in danger."
Ye Qingzhou's words made Lian Hongying completely determined.
I saw her phoenix eyes bursting with light, and when she looked at Ye Qingzhou, she was even more brilliant: "You know how to confuse people better than the devil, but this suggestion is so tempting that I can't refuse at all."
< br>
A martial god who has ascended to the tenth heavenly realm, holding a divine weapon, can possess the combat power of the eleventh heavenly realm, that is, the heavenly king level. Who can not be tempted by such an improvement?
The reason why Ye Qingzhou is so actively planning for Lian Hongying is that he naturally wants to use Lian Hongying's resources to improve his blacksmithing proficiency.
At the same time, in order to accumulate double resources, in addition to creating an exclusive magic weapon for Lian Hongying, he also used the extra "leftover materials" to secretly build an additional magic weapon and obtain unimaginable benefits.
Anyway, he was the only one around Lian Hongying who knew the contents of the "Tian Zhu Jing". How many materials were needed to forge the magic weapon? Even Lian Hongying himself didn't know.
It was too easy for Ye Qingzhou to do something.
…………
Two days later, the Conferred God Platform was established in the western suburbs of the royal capital.
The sun is shining with golden light, and the mountains are dyed. It is the season of locust flowers in full bloom. The mountain flowers are blooming, birds are fluttering their wings, and from time to time, the cool and pleasant spring breeze blows, blowing on the temples.
Today is the ceremony of refining Hongying to be crowned king.
Therefore, almost all the dignitaries of the royal capital were present, and the leader of the country, Lian Huozhi, personally wanted to preside over the ceremony for Lian Hongying as the monarch.
On a high platform made of white jade, a beautiful woman with a hot figure was walking towards her, wearing a gorgeous dress and dragging a long skirt.
She has a peerless appearance, with a pair of sword eyebrows flying into her temples. Her whole body is full of grace and luxury, and at the same time she has the majesty and domineering power of a king.
This person is none other than the leader of the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom, Blazing Feather Sword Phoenix Lianhuo Zhi.
"See my king!"
Sounds like roaring mountains and tsunami were heard from all around. No matter what they thought in their hearts, the nobles present could only be respectful when facing Lian Huozhi, the top master of the Rakshasa Female Kingdom, and did not dare to do anything rude or disrespectful. If the king gets angry, he will kill whoever he wants.
In the martial arts world of Kunlun Cave Heaven, where great power belongs to oneself, there are not many people and things that can make the strong worry and compromise.
After that, there was a ceremony full of strange customs and customs.
Ye Qingzhou joined in the fun, eating melon and watching the show.
But he didn't know that in this king-conferment ceremony, the person who attracted the most attention was not only the rightful owner Lian Hongying, but also him, a "foreigner" with a special status.
At this time, there was already a lot of discussion in the aristocratic circle.
"Who is this?"
"I heard he is the face of King Chan."
"No way? Didn't it mean that King Chan was obsessed with martial arts and had never been close to any man?"
"That was before. Now that King Chan has ascended to the tenth level of heaven, and she has succeeded in becoming a god, she is still not allowed to enjoy it? What's more, people have already lived in King Chan's mansion, how can she still have a vacation?"
"The appearance is indeed outstanding, and the temperament is unique. No wonder he is favored by King Chan."
"Alas, the two most beautiful flowers in our Rakshasa country have now been picked away by the human race. When will the men of our Rakshasa tribe be able to stand up?"
Many nobles sighed, but they still wanted to let their outstanding children marry Lian Hongying.
If you can win over a Martial God, why would your family just take off?
It's a pity that Lian Hongying is now "tired of being together" with Ye Qingzhou all day long. There is even news that the two of them spent the night in the study. They can't just chat and do nothing in the study. ?
Anyway, everyone now believes that Ye Qingzhou is the face of Lian Hongying. Privately, they say that he is the blue-faced scourge of the Rakshasa Girl Country and will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.
From a certain perspective, they were not wrong.
After all, in the current Rakshasa Kingdom, apart from the royal family and nobles who are "people", the ordinary Rakshasa people are not considered "people", they are just a bunch of careless people.
And if Ye Qingzhou's plan succeeds, the nobles of the Rakshasa Girl Country will not have many good days to live. If this isn't a disaster for the country and the people, what is it?
Then some nobles who were close took a closer look at Ye Qingzhou's profile: "Hey, do you think he seems to be alone?"
"Like who?"
"The king's husband."
"?"
"Is it possible that all humans look similar?"
"No, the two of them really look alike. I have met Mr. Wang several times and I will never admit his mistake."
After the crowning ceremony, Lian Hongying came back and held Ye Qingzhou's hand: "Accompany me to the palace for the dinner tonight."
"Okay."
Ye Qingzhou looked reluctant, but unfortunately he couldn't refuse Party A's father's request.
At night, the palace walls of the royal capital are brightly lit, and the stars in the sky complement each other, making it breathtakingly beautiful.
Correspondingly, the slums on the outskirts of the royal capital were silent in the darkness, with only the pungent stench floating around in the evening breeze from time to time.
A magnificent palace with immaculate white walls.
Just by getting closer, Ye Qingzhou could smell the rich smell of milk and sweet fragrance through the curtain of the carriage.
Lian Hongying looked at the magnificent palace wall in front of her and said to Ye Qingzhou in a mocking tone: "It must be hard for you to imagine that this royal city was built in the years of famine when people everywhere were hungry. The reason why the palace walls are so white and flawless , it’s all about dyeing mixed with milk, white ash, honey, and sugar, which is poured over and over again, and it takes many years to achieve the wonders you see before you.”
Ye Qingzhou suddenly felt a chill running down his spine when he heard this.
In the famine years when people were starving to death, smearing the palace walls with milk, honey and sugar?
How insane is this behavior!
Compared with the nobles of the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom, those criminals on death row in the prisons of Dongji Kingdom are just a group of harmless babies.
And living in such a country, it is simply unimaginable what kind of life the Rakshasa people live.
Even that they can survive to this day has to be said to be a biological miracle.
Many royal members of the Rakshasa Kingdom like to use the "white wall" in front of them as a means of showing off, using it to show how noble their status is as a member of the royal family.
Only Lian Hongying felt nauseated and nauseous.
Where is the milk and honey poured on the snow-white palace walls?
They are clearly the bones of the Rakshasa people!
"I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked."
The white wall in front of him made Ye Qingzhou's mind seem to be "washed" in some way, and his brain almost went into a state of shutdown.
Lian Hongying looked at Ye Qingzhou and said in a faint tone: "Every Rakshasa noble who comes to the royal capital from the fiefdom will come here for pilgrimage, so this white palace wall is also called the 'Holy Wall' by them. , think it represents the holiness and nobility of our Rakshasa clan. What do you think?”
"I don't see holiness and nobility..."
Ye Qingzhou sighed, then shook his head and sighed: "The sweet fragrance of milk and honey is intoxicating, but in this pure white, I only saw two words - cannibalism."
The so-called holy wall in front of us is neither holy nor noble. It should not even be painted white, but should be dyed blood red to suit the occasion.
Because it was built on the numerous bones of Rakshasa people, and was built by devouring the flesh and blood of countless Rakshasa people.
Cannibalism is by no means a rhetorical device, but a realistic description.
In the country of Rakshasa women with extremely backward productivity, they used milk, honey and sugar to build the six-meter-high and twelve-mile-long white palace wall in front of them...
Without millions of corpses as "firewood", this magnificent spectacle would simply not be possible.
Ye Qingzhou originally thought that he was a treacherous enough person by provoking internal strife in the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom. However, when compared with the royal family and nobles of the Rakshasa Girl Country, he realized that he was still too young.
These inhumane bastards deserve to be overthrown.
Ye Qingzhou looked at Lian Hongying: "Do you want to change the Rakshasa Girl Country?"
"I don't know."
Although Lian Hongying is the God of War, he still showed a little confusion at this moment: "I just feel that this world is wrong."
She once saw a three-month-old baby starving to death due to malnutrition.
She once witnessed a group of Rakshasa peasants who were thrown into the fire one by one by the domineering nobles and burned to death in order to protect their fields.
She had encountered too many injustices, so she ignited the red lotus karma fire in her heart and had the desire to purify the world.
But even if he is as strong as the God of War, he cannot sweep away all the filth in the world, because if the old filth is removed, new filth will still be born.
Just like when the Rakshasa Kingdom was first established, there was no distinction between aristocrats and commoners. Everyone was equal. Even the first-generation monarch was a member of the Rakshasa royal family who was in trouble. He fled to the Kunlun Cave, where he was precarious and frightened.
It was not until the Queen Mother of the West extended a rescue hand and accepted the Rakshasa people who were about to be exterminated that the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom was established.
In the beginning, everyone was struggling to survive.
Farmers cultivate food, herdsmen raise livestock, craftsmen build weapons and armor, and nobles go into battle to kill enemies and expand territory for the emerging kingdom.
At that time, demons and monsters were rampant in Kunlun Cave. They attacked villages, hunted living people, and constantly threatened the integrity of the Rakshasa Girl Kingdom.
In the end, it was the royal family who stepped forward and led the heroic Rakshasa nobles in a bloody battle, and finally eliminated these bloodthirsty monsters.
But after the demons and ghosts disappeared, I don’t know how many years had passed. The atmosphere of sincere unity in the country disappeared, and was replaced by the cruel oppression of the royal family and the nobles.
When Lian Hongying was a child in her mother's arms, she listened to the holy precepts of her ancestors and witnessed the greatness of her ancestors. She naturally looked forward to all this and imagined how to write her own epic chapter in the future.
However, when she grew up, what she saw and heard when she traveled to the Rakshasa Girl Country was completely different from the book.
