Chapter 1155 Internal Turmoil Leads to External Worries

The emperor of the Daji Dynasty fell ill this time, and although he woke up quickly, the impact it brought was far greater than many people expected, especially for several princes.

If I have to say, this illness opened the ladder of chaos. The emperor wanted to maintain stability, but he could not suppress everyone.

The Daji Dynasty had a territory of thousands of miles and governed thousands of people. The so-called election system did not mean that everyone would elect a new monarch together. The Humane Dynasty did not have this organizational ability, nor was it a Taoist sect with magical powers.

Instead, it selected several counties and sent princes to govern and examine their ability to govern. The most important thing was whether the people in the county supported them in the end.

The mentality of the people was changeable, and the entire election system lasted for nine years. You spent several years in politics and the entire county developed rapidly, but in the end, there might be deviations in the handling of a case, which would very likely lead to criticism and loss of public support, and then lose the opportunity to compete for the highest throne.

This time, the emperor fell ill. How to show filial piety has undoubtedly become a major issue for several princes. In the state of family and country, asking the people to choose you, the identity of a filial son is the best label.

To show filial piety, it is generally to give gifts to the father, but the emperor has a vast world, where there is no shortage of these vulgar things. If you want to defeat the other party, you must have intentions, and this intention cannot be without silver.

However, in the past few years of governing, the wealth of several princes has long been dispersed, and the income from the rule has all been returned to the people. The treasury is so full that even mice will worry about it.

In order to gain the support of the people, the princes often propose a series of welfare so that the people have no worries. The ninth emperor of the Daji Dynasty, Emperor Hui, was a staunch supporter of the welfare system. He also took advantage of this to come to power, and then it was out of control and has been rampant until now.

Welfare can only be increased, not reduced, and it is a good thing to remain unchanged.

The people are used to your kindness, and they are raised into giant babies, and they are often naive and stupid. They will lean towards whichever direction the public opinion blows.

If they couldn't pay, some princes thought of other ways, which was to provoke border conflicts and fight a war of some size.

Winning would not only offer gifts to his father, but also please the warlike people, gain the hearts of the people, and suppress the other brothers, and perhaps win the final victory.

With the year of the election system approaching, the Daji Dynasty is turbulent, undercurrents are surging, and the government and the people are becoming more and more restless. For most people, what you did in the previous eight years is not important, but what you did in the last year is important.

The memory of the people is no different from that of fish, which only lasts for seven seconds.

Speaking of which, the reason why the current emperor can gain such a high level of public support is related to foreign wars. No wonder his son chose this path.

When the emperor used the election system in the past, he guarded the northern border and faced the invasion of the northern barbarians. When the army had not yet gathered, he took the lead and sternly asked the northern barbarians why they invaded the border. He was great and wise, and forced the northern barbarians to retreat in one fell swoop. He received a lot of praise in the country, and the people were all convinced.

There is a folk history saying that this war was an exchange of interests between the emperor and the Northern Tartars. We can get a rough idea of ​​this by seeing that he only forced the Northern Tartars to retreat without actually fighting them.

After all, there is no real evidence. It is regarded as a rumor spread by losers. No matter what the truth is, even if it is true, it is a great man to dare to make a deal and not be afraid of the Northern Tartars going back on their word and getting stuck in it.

The other small countries are of average level and can be beaten at will, but the Northern Tartars who dominate the north of the Great Ji Dynasty are really unruly.

The prince intends to start a foreign war. First, he stirs up disputes and frictions on the border, and then creates an atmosphere in Zhongdu City. We don't know what the emperor intends, but anyone with a little insight can see what the princes think.

The east, west, and south are fine. If there is a problem in the north, the Northern Tartar army will go south. It doesn't need to occupy the land. Burning, killing and looting will be enough for the local people to recover for several years.

One-time destruction requires several times or even more time to create.

The chaos has begun, and the subordinates are in chaos. Before the election system ends, I am afraid that it will not be stable. It is not easy to predict which direction it will evolve in.

Let's go back to Wu Yi on the West Sea. After destroying the Golden Dragon of Luck, Wu Yi did not feel very happy in his heart. Just as the Golden Dragon of Luck could not kill Wu Yi, Wu Yi could not kill the Golden Dragon of Luck. He just destroyed an incarnation of the opponent. As long as the Great Ji Dynasty is not destroyed, the Golden Dragon of Luck will always be there.

But this time Wu Yi's victory, not to mention that it directly caused the emperor to faint, thinking from another perspective, is it not a sign that the Great Ji Dynasty's calamity has surfaced.

Looking at the Chaos Beast on the side, Wu Yi wanted to leave, but since he had made a vow before, although there was no constraint, there was no need to betray it. Anyway, for Wu Yi, it was just a piece of cake.

This is not the first time he has done such a thing. Didn't he save Taotie before?

Thinking of Taotie, Wu Yi didn't even know how the other party was doing recently. After entering the Dead Sea in the past, he didn't have time to contact Taotie, and was dragged into the current Blood Demon Realm by the dead squid. Next, he had to find Taotie.

The magic circle that suppressed the chaos beast also used the power of the earth veins as its support. It was as difficult as climbing a mountain from the inside to the outside, but it was easy from the outside to the inside.

When he first came here, Wu Yi guessed that the one who suppressed Chaos and Taotie in the past might not be the same person, but they were probably from the same force!

After the Chaos Beast was freed from its restraints, it roared to the sky, announcing to the world that it had regained its freedom. It was extremely unruly. If it were an ordinary person, after secretly escaping from prison, he would probably think about escaping as soon as possible, instead of provoking here.

The strength of the Chaos Beast is much stronger than that of Taotie. Of course, it has not reached the level of Taiyi Shangxian, at best it is half a step, but with its strange means, if it is used well, it may have miraculous effects.

"I sensed the breath of Taotie on you!"

Wu Yi just wanted to ask about the relationship between the Chaos Beast and Taotie, but he asked it first, and this question also made Wu Yi understand that the two really had a connection, and his previous guess should be true.

"I have seen many Taotie beasts. I wonder which one you are asking about?"

"There is only one Taotie in this world. Why bother hiding it!" The Chaos Beast rolled his eyes at Wu Yi with some disdain. If Wu Yi hadn't rescued him, he would have ignored him.
