The soul-binding ceremony had clearly ended, but another choice appeared in the soul-binding book?
This strange situation made Su Che really confused.
Only seen in the book of Qi Ling.
The following words appeared.
Choice: [I was originally a commoner from Huaiyou, what can the world do for me? After conquering this country, you worked hard on government affairs, made many achievements, and established a large number of systems and rules. In the second half of your life, you spent a lot of time fighting corruption... When you were very young, you hated those corrupt officials. You thought they were the most hateful people in the world. Why would they rather die than embezzle money and commit illegal acts? You are all the parents of the people. ]
Seeing such a choice, Su Che couldn't help but remain silent.
There is only one choice...
And this choice is a mythical existence - the game starts at hell difficulty, and Zhu Yuanzhang conquers the Ming Dynasty with bare hands!
It is said that since the Three Dynasties, the most legitimate states were the Han and Ming dynasties. When a common man started a rebellion, he did not rely on power; when he eliminated violence for the people, he did not have the intention of seeking divine power.
Such a super powerful person actually chose me... and chose me for the second time!
It’s Su Che’s honor!
Su Che still remembers the scene when the three mythical levels appeared at the same time. That scene was quite explosive!
Option one: Zhu Yuanzhang.
Option 2: Ying Zheng.
Option three, Liu Bang.
At that time, Su Che chose Ying Zheng.
After all, this option is slightly simpler than the other two.
But since then, Su Che has missed out on meeting the other two mythical beings...
Unexpectedly, after so much time had passed, Su Che could actually see other options again.
and.
This suddenly appeared after the simulation ended...
Su Che had never encountered such a situation before.
After all, normally, after each promotion, the so-called 'Heroic Spirit Card Pool' is reset, and Su Che can simulate again, unless he has contracted a mythical being, in which case he can get an extra chance.
The Qin King Fu Jian, who had just signed a contract, was a high-level legendary being, not a mythical being. Logically speaking, Su Che had to wait until he was promoted to the eighth level before he could simulate the contract again.
But now, a simulation option actually appeared directly.
this……
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang specifically asked him to simulate?
Thinking of this possibility, Su Che's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he couldn't keep calm for a moment.
Only this possibility can explain why this option suddenly appeared!
A great existence of mythical level, most likely with higher authority, communicated directly with Su Che and gave this opportunity...
Su Che narrowed his eyes and looked at the description of this option carefully.
Different from last time.
Su Che clearly remembered that the last time, the description of this choice was [In troubled times, your whole family has died, and you are a monk begging on the streets just to get a bite to eat. Facing such a chaotic world, what should you do? ]
This time, it was longer, more detailed, and different.
Does this mean that there will be some changes this time?
Last time, I probably started from scratch.
And this time, it may be after he becomes emperor, or even when he is very old?
That is to say.
This time... is it the problem-solving mode?
Just like the time when Zhuge Liang pretended to be dead in Wuzhangyuan, came back to life and solved the ultimate problem of Shu Han.
That time, Su Che succeeded by luck.
And what kind of difficulties will Su Che face this time?
Su Che looked at the descriptions carefully.
The answer is already obvious - solve the corruption problem in the Ming Dynasty!
This matter has always been a big concern for Lao Zhu.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely harsh in treating officials and he killed countless people in his life.
In the late Yuan Dynasty, the emperor was addicted to pleasure and plundered money. The officials under him were also greedy and fat, and only the people suffered.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who witnessed the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, hated corrupt officials extremely.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very strict in dealing with corrupt officials. If anyone embezzled 60 taels of silver, he would be dragged out and beheaded.
Even beheading was considered a show of mercy by the royal family. Zhu Yuanzhang also invented a horrific deterrent method - "skinning and stuffing with straw".
The skin of the corrupt official is peeled off, then stuffed with straw and hung outside as a punishment.
The four major cases in the Ming Dynasty were the Hu Weiyong case, the Empty Seal case, the Guo Huan case, and the Lan Yu case. These cases resulted in countless deaths and rivers of blood. In addition, there were also various cases of corruption among officials.
From local counties and prefectures to the six central ministries and the Secretariat, as long as there is corruption, no matter who is involved, we will never show leniency and will investigate it to the end.
Because there were too many officials to be executed, government affairs could not be handled, so a strange scene appeared: officials were in the Tianlao, wearing shackles, handling government affairs of all sizes, and then beheading them.
However, despite various punishment measures and threats of torture, there are still more and more corrupt officials.
In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but sigh: "The morning cure leads to the evening cure, the evening cure leads to the morning cure; the body has not been moved but people are coming one after another, the cure is severe but the number of crimes increases."
The general meaning is that if you punish someone in the morning, there will be new offenders in the evening, and there will be new corrupt officials before the bodies are moved. The more severe the punishment, the more corrupt officials there will be.
There are too many corrupt officials, it’s impossible to kill them all!
In fact, no emperor in any dynasty of feudal society could eliminate corruption.
Because of the centralized system of feudal society, resources and wealth can be deprived and occupied through power.
What can be deprived and seized through power includes not only people’s property rights but also their personal rights.
Therefore, officials at all levels can easily become corrupt.
in short.
Feudal autocracy and centralization are naturally associated with corruption.
This is a problem of the system and also a problem of human nature, and it is an essence that cannot be changed.
so.
For many emperors, corruption and bribery are not a big deal at all. They are not even afraid that you are not corrupt, but they are afraid that you do not engage in corruption. Officials have no weaknesses, so it is really difficult to control them.
As long as it works well, it doesn’t matter whether it is corrupt or not.
Just like Heshen, he is a big gift package, who is fattened up and then killed.
Only Lao Zhu, who came from the lower class, understood the sufferings of the people and knew how hateful those corrupt officials were, so he would be so extreme.
If it were any other founding emperor, even Liu Bang, who started from a similarly humble beginning, he would not be so extreme.
It is almost impossible to create a country without corruption...
How to solve this problem?
Su Che was a little dumbfounded.
He frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any clue.
But of course, I can't give up this choice.
A mythical heroic spirit!
Moreover, it is very likely that he is a powerful existence at the mythical level...
It would be a shame to miss it again .
But Su Che had no idea and didn't know how to solve the problem. If he forced himself to simulate it, the possibility of success would be very small.
Staring at the Book of Spirit Contract, Su Che pondered for a while and asked, "Can you give me some time to think about how to solve this problem?"
Su Che guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang might hear what he was saying at this moment, so he decided to communicate with him.
As expected.
As soon as Su Che said this, the next second, the words on the book slowly disappeared and the following sentence appeared.
"Okay, we'll give you some time to think."
really!
Su Che's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he had such direct communication. He felt as if he had been chosen...
After Su Che left the Qi Ling space.
For a moment, I felt quite complicated.
He had just made a contract with a legendary high-level heroic spirit, but he didn't expect that a mythical heroic spirit would come immediately and directly choose him, catching him off guard!
This was a bit too sudden.
But when Su Che thought about it, it made sense.
When Su Che breaks through to the Grandmaster realm, he will have enough power to unleash the abilities of the Heroic Spirit, and will naturally gain the favor of more Heroic Spirits.
After all, the Heroic Spirit Realm will disappear...
When the earth's spiritual energy is fully revived, the world of heroes will no longer exist, and those heroes will disappear with it.
In this case, choosing a suitable host is quite crucial.
Su Che walked out of the room and came to the deck of the warship.
A soldier saw him coming and immediately saluted respectfully: "General Su!"
"General Su!"
Although Su Che is young, he became famous in a previous battle and had outstanding achievements, so he was directly promoted to the rank of national general.
This is a status second only to the Grand Master of the Nation, and is usually held by a peak eighth-level master with outstanding military achievements. Some newly promoted ninth-level grandmasters also hold this position.
Ordinary grand masters are not really qualified. Even if they persevere, they have no chance of reaching the level of a national general.
Su Che was so young, but he had reached this point. On the one hand, it was because he had made a big splash in the battle of Taizhou, but on the other hand, it was because he was Yan Xiao's disciple!
Otherwise, even if Su Che's merits were enough to make him a general, it would take a long time to go through the procedures, and it would be impossible for him to become a general so quickly.
Yan Xiao didn't care about Su Che's position at all.
Because even if someone is a great national guardian, once he is pissed off, he will beat them up violently. He doesn't care about the so-called great national guardian at all. This is the strong confidence brought by his unparalleled strength.
Su Che was originally somewhat proud of his identity. After all, this level was already very extraordinary. But when he thought of his master, he was not so proud anymore.
He should look higher instead of being complacent with his current achievements.
Not to mention the national general, even the national grandmaster is no match for Yan Xiao.
At present, Teacher Yan Xiao.
This is the goal that Su Che strives for.
He also wants to become such a strong person, instead of being obsessed with so-called power.
The warship quickly passed through the gap.
After a long time, Su Che came to the demon world again.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity suddenly came over me.
It feels really good.
The warship did not sail directly towards the Demon Town, but made a circle and headed in the opposite direction.
The entrance to Tiancang Realm is some distance away from Zhenmo City.
The Tiancang Realm is a great secret realm. It is the place of breakthrough that all the eighth-level masters dream of, and it is extremely popular.
According to the accompanying Grandmaster, those who are at the eighth level and can enter this secret realm have at least a 10% chance of breaking through to the ninth level as long as they are lucky.
One percent. Although it sounds like the probability is not high, you have to know that he is a ninth-level grandmaster. Those who can break through to the eighth level are extremely rare.
Having a 10% chance of breaking through is already not easy.
That is why the cost of entering this secret realm is very high.
Su Che's teacher Guan Minghao was able to enter here thanks to the sponsorship of teacher Yan Xiao.
He prepared for this breakthrough for a long time.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened...
It’s still because of Su Che!
The speed of warships is increasing.
Soon, they arrived at a port controlled by humans.
"Heavenly Demon Pass!"
Su Che stared at the port not far away and spoke softly.
Near Tiancang Realm, there is an important town named Tianyaoguan, which is as important as Zhenmoguan.
This was Su Che's first time here.
As far as the eye can see, the port seems to be similar to the port of Zhenmo City.
Overall, they are pretty much the same.
However, according to the accompanying master, Tianyao Pass is a plain area, while Zhenmo City is hilly, so if you go to Tianyao Pass, you can see a different style.
But Su Che's target was not Tianyao Pass, but Tiancang Realm near Tianyao Pass.
After leaving the warship, Su Che and the accompanying masters flew into the air together, turning into a stream of light and heading straight towards the Tiancang Realm!
Normally, it is a very dangerous thing for a human master to fly recklessly in the demon sky. Only a domain powerhouse of at least the eighth level is qualified to do so.
These two were exceptions.
now.
It was the first time for Su Che to fly alone in the sky of the demon realm. He stared at the hills, forests, lakes, and even the demon cities and strongholds below. Everything of them made him feel very fresh.
The city of demons is completely different from that of humans. It is full of wildness and has a strong natural style. It is a city built relying on nature.
When flying over a city.
An eighth-level giant demon rushed over directly.
"A mere human of the seventh stage dares to fly over my Dragon City! You are courting death!"
With a roar, a streak of light quickly appeared not far in front of Su Che, blocking the way of the two.
Su Che glanced at the eight-segment monster and without any further ado, stabbed it with his sword.
This sword contains the heroic power of Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng!
As a peak mythical being, Ying Zheng's strength is extraordinary. Su Che, who has become a master, can exert 70% of his heroic spirit power. Ordinary eighth-level warriors are not even qualified to fight against him!
With just one sword, the space seemed to be cut open directly, and the eight sections of the demon king's domain were directly chopped into pieces.
At this moment, the eighth-level demon finally realized the danger. He widened his eyes and was about to say something, but it was too late.
He had no time to run or speak before he was cut in half by Su Che's sword!
The big demon's blood spilled into the sky!
Kill with one sword!
But Su Che didn't stop at all and continued to leave quickly.
In the demon city below, when all the demons saw the city lord Long Qie being beheaded, they instantly fell into chaos.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the nine-tailed celestial fox Tu Shanyue was stunned and dumbfounded when she saw this scene!
That is...Su Che? !
