Chapter 45 Destiny

At this moment, the newly born Dachang was covered with a mysterious veil of divine right, and its legitimacy was beyond doubt.

Before the fire dragon fell, everyone watched this feast of abdication with cold eyes.

Everyone knew that this was a usurpation of the throne, but it was just a formality, using the destiny to shut everyone up.

What was acceptable was that this abdication was more decent, without the bloody storm imagined, and it was also a preferential treatment for the previous dynasty.

When Xu Yong put on the crown and the fire dragon appeared, everyone was in an uproar, and many people were stunned on the spot.

What did they see?

A dragon! A fire dragon!

A real dragon, a dragon that could be seen by more than 100,000 people in full view.

"Is this true?" In the crowd, Li Changsheng looked at the people around him in disbelief, perhaps he had seen it wrong.

"Really, I saw it too!" The man swallowed his saliva and couldn't believe it.

"According to the will of heaven, governing the people! I am the emperor on behalf of heaven, this is what the emperor of heaven wants!"

Xu Xuan took a step forward, his voice was loud, like a wake-up call, waking everyone up.

"Great Dachang, the will of heaven!"

"Long live, long live, long live!!"

At this moment, everyone knelt down and kowtowed sincerely.

Without the loud shouting of the ceremonial officers and the guard of honor, everyone knelt down at the same time.

In the crowd, the Taoist priests of Taiyi and the believers of the secret religion had to kneel down.

Even if they couldn't believe it, even if they thought it was a magic, they had no reason to refute it.

Many people even wavered.

This is the will of heaven. Are the barbarians in the north really the wise rulers? Then are they ignorant of the times?

The old people of Zhu Ming, the dissatisfied gentry, and the outdated Confucian scholars were all convinced at this moment, and dared not have any other ideas.

At this moment, the legitimacy of the emerging Dachang reached its peak.

Abdication is no longer a formality for face, but a true destiny, the king's power is granted by God!

"Destiny... Destiny..." Emperor Yongli and Chongzhen smiled with relief. The old Zhu family enjoyed the country for three hundred years, which is almost enough.

After all, Chongzhen did a lot of wrong things, which led to the destruction of the country and the family. It was good enough that he was not liquidated. The descendants can still be guaranteed to be rich and noble, so what else do you want.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and soon got into the role, saying something difficult to understand, probably something like an inaugural statement, which Xu Xuan was not interested in.

"Appoint Tianshi Xu Xuan as the leader of Xuanqing Sect and the subtle Taoist Lord."

This title is very high, equivalent to being on an equal footing with the emperor.

Xu Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing.

He looks gentle, but in fact he is cautious. He has cultivated Xu Yong since he was a child and is familiar with his personality.

But people always change, so we still have to be safe about this.

The king's power is granted by God on the one hand, which gives the dynasty great legitimacy; similarly, Xu Xuan can grant legitimacy, but he can also deprive it of legitimacy.

In terms of secular military power, Yuelu Mountain has 3,000 guards, and most of the good generals in the Dachang Army are trained by the Baidi Sect for Qi and Blood Elixirs. Almost all of Xu Yong's personal guards are martial arts masters trained by him.

Of course, these are nothing.

The second is his own magic power, which is equivalent to the Tai'a Sword hanging over everyone's head.

The most important thing is that the interests of both parties are the same. In Xu Xuan's view, only the same interests are the key to a stable relationship.

Xu Xuan has magical powers, and he can choose anyone to rule a region at will, and create the illusion of divine right to grant power at will.

And Xu Yong, and even the emperors of later generations, can only sit firmly on the throne if they get their own approval.

Of course, Xu Yong knows his character and there will be no problems at present. Xu Xuan himself did this not for power, otherwise wouldn't it be good to be the emperor himself?

It's just a precaution to prevent any blind and incompetent monarch in the future from causing trouble to himself.

After the official appointment, the ministers returned to the city for a banquet, and the people of Wuchang City also had a good time. The whole city had a three-day banquet.

On the way back to the city, Xie Miao was puzzled and said, "Master, are you just going to let others have power? Even the people don't know your kindness."

Xie Miao had seen too many brothers killing each other, and she couldn't think that the throne of the emperor could be given up.

Besides, it would be very convenient for Master to collect things after becoming the emperor.

"You don't understand." Xu Xuan shook his head, "I have a lot of things I want to do, but I don't have time to do them. Xu Yong is my brother, and his personality is suitable for these things."

If it is just to collect materials and enjoy wealth and glory, being an emperor is nothing.

Whoever wants to rebel can be killed directly with his unique magical powers.

But if he does this, he will be an unprecedented tyrant and a scum who drags the nation into the abyss.

From this era, the West began to gradually surpass Shenzhou. If I am not there in the future, I will see the West shitting on China in a few years.

So it is necessary to change the imperial examination, promote commerce, run education, develop industry, change ideas... and a series of measures.

Governing is not a game. It is not about issuing a task, letting people do it immediately, and then waiting for a while to get the results.

Instead, you have to invest all your energy and fight with various forces.

For example, if you want to do something, you need to issue the task and allocate money. There will be corruption in the process. When executing, you must guard against lip service, fraud, distortion, etc.

Killing alone will not accomplish anything. There are so many emperors who have used killing in history, but which one succeeded?

This process may require the efforts of three generations.

If you only do it yourself, you will definitely run out of time for cultivation.

It is better to let Xu Yong do it. Xu Xuan has a long life and occasionally checks it. In this way, it will not happen that the descendants will not execute it because Xu Yong dies.

After two or three generations, it is basically done.

Banquet, singing and dancing, the emperor and his ministers laugh.

Xu Guangting was already drunk and was carried away to rest.

"Come on, brother, drink."

Xu Yong put his arm around Xu Xuan's shoulders, his eyes were sleepy, and he persuaded Xu Xuan to drink incoherently.

"Drink, you kid, drink less." Xu Xuan took the cup from Xu Yong's hand, looked at Xu Yong who was unconscious, and sighed slightly in his heart.

The relationship between the two brothers is not fake.

"Haha... so relaxed..." Xu Yong grinned.

He was extremely relaxed at this moment. He didn't have to worry every day, and he didn't have to wear the talisman to avoid soldiers and drink the detoxification talisman water every morning when he got up.

Outsiders think he is very majestic and domineering, but who knows that Xu Yong was trembling with fear every day and couldn't sleep well at the beginning?

Learn to be cold, learn to be cruel, learn to control people... stumble along the way, and no one knows the hardship.

Kings don't need to enjoy, kings have responsibilities and obligations, especially the founding kings.

Now you can relax for a short time. Today is the young man who lived in Lizhuang; tomorrow is the cold-blooded and iron-faced king.

At this time, Xu Yong's eyes suddenly cleared up, and endless melancholy surged in his heart. He sat up straight, looked at Xu Xuan, and said: "Brother, can I see the prosperous times you described in my lifetime?"

The new dynasty has always been poor in the first generation, saving in the second generation, and squandering in the third generation. He is afraid that he will not see it.

"My two brothers working together will definitely be able to create it."
