Chapter 722 The power of the emperor is not bound by the law.
"Bai Hongtu has the character of a minister and he will not speak inappropriately. Has he been killed by the first emperor?" Other leaders are sensible and obedient, but Bai Hongtu is unreliable. Jiang Li is very worried.
Jiang Li couldn't imagine Bai Hongtu speaking to him respectfully.
"Ladies from famous families and female cultivators known for their beauty were all attracted by the First Emperor, the only overlord in history, and offered themselves to be concubines and undress the First Emperor."
Jiang Li was sure that this was an embellished description, because he remembered that the First Emperor had once shouted that all the beauties in the world would be under his control.
He didn't believe that Yu Yin, Bai Xueling and others would voluntarily rely on the First Emperor.
"The Jiuzhou Continent and the Eight Wastelands collided. The First Emperor followed the clues of the Eight Wastelands and went straight to the Immortal Realm, where he fought with the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao fled with the Immortal Realm and lost all trace."
"The First Emperor returned to Jiuzhou and refined the life planets of the Eight Desolate Worlds into continents surrounding the Jiuzhou Continent."
"That's why some people call the Kyushu Continent the Central Plains."
"The First Emperor was inspired by the Eight Wastelands and used the Nine Continents to collide with other worlds, merge them, and connect them with the Nine Continents to bring them under his rule."
"The continent is constantly expanding, more than ten times as large as before."
"The Immortal Artifact developed spiritual intelligence, but was shattered by the First Emperor. After losing the Brahma Tower, the First Emperor was unable to establish a stable connection with other worlds, so he chose to use this method."
"After the First Emperor established the Immortal Dynasty, he drew maps, unified the system, made public the cultivation methods, opened up the imperial examination system, reduced the difficulty of cultivation, and provided a path for advancement. He allowed people from other worlds to retain their original languages, but the official language had to be the Kyushu dialect..."
Seeing all the events and things about the First Emperor recorded in the book, Jiang Li seemed to see the First Emperor sitting on the imperial chair, giving orders and planning how to build Jiuzhou into a world that suits his wishes.
Jiang Li saw the words "unified system" written in the book. In the past, the systems of different countries were different. Among them, the Great Zhou was the most standardized, and the Great Yong was the most chaotic. What was the new system established by the First Emperor like? Jiang Li bought the laws established by the First Emperor again, and the first article of the law made Jiang Li stunned.
The first article reads: The emperor is sacred and inviolable, and his power comes from his heart and is not bound by the law.
The second article reads: All subjects of the Immortal Dynasty must abide by this law.
Jiang Li: “…”
It was the first time that Jiang Li saw someone write privileges so clearly in the law, and it was the first article without any disguise.
"It seems that the legal history I learned in my previous life has not been forgotten. This is a repeat of the history of the late Qing Dynasty, but it is even more exaggerated."
Jiang Li continued reading and discovered that the First Emperor was actually himself in a parallel world, and the laws he set were quite fair.
The premise is to exclude the first one.
He even took into account the different human social structures of other worlds and allowed these worlds to enjoy a certain degree of autonomy.
Jiang Li did not doubt the First Emperor's ability to execute. Since the First Emperor dared to unify the laws, he would dare to punish those who did not follow the laws.
"This law can be firmly implemented in this world. It combines the law of the jungle with order."
"If this is the case, then the order established by the First Emperor meets the requirements of the Shun Emperor."
The order proposed by Emperor Shun has two characteristics: one is that everyone must abide by it, which can be achieved; the other is that the order must be recognized by the majority of people.
The order of the First Emperor tends to favor middle and low-level cultivators, that is, it tends to favor the interests of the majority of people and will be recognized by the majority of people.
When the first emperor stipulated that he could not abide by the law, people would simply think that this was the privilege of the strong and would agree with the first rule.
"Emperor Chu, have you been assimilated by Jiuzhou, or are you still brooding over your past life?"
"The First Emperor expanded the Human Emperor Palace into the Imperial Palace. This is the only imperial palace in Jiuzhou. He should be there now."
Jiang Li wanted to meet the First Emperor and have a good chat with him.
As the dignity of Jiuzhou, the Palace of the Human Emperor was built in a grand and majestic manner. However, compared with the Imperial Palace, the Palace of the Human Emperor seemed less impressive.
The Imperial Palace stretches for eight hundred miles, with mountains and rivers inside. There is a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps. The palaces are like clouds in the sky. There are countless places for cultivation. Mortals in it cannot tell the east, west, south, and north.
Jiang Li suspected that if conditions permitted, the First Emperor would build the Imperial Palace to be as magnificent and splendid as the Immortal Emperor's Golden Palace.
With the strength of the First Emperor, he is indeed qualified.
Jiang Li thought that the places he lived in were either hotels or trees, which were in no way comparable to the First Emperor's palace.
With the Human Emperor Hall as its center, the Imperial Palace is divided into two parts: the Outer Court and the Inner Court. The Outer Court is the place for meetings, while the Inner Court is the harem and place for training.
Jiang Li used his spiritual sense to scan and found that the First Emperor was not in the Imperial Palace, but he did scan a few familiar faces.
Commander Liu is still a commander, but he is not the commander of the Human Emperor Palace, but the commander of the Imperial Palace, also known as the Imperial Guards, who is responsible for the security of the Imperial Palace.
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
"It's just for show."
Who would dare to threaten the safety of the Imperial Palace if he didn't care about his life? It's nothing more than the First Emperor looking for Commander Liu to show off.
Yu Yin, Bai Xueling, the Holy Maiden Jingxin, Mo Ruoyu, Ji Kongkong and others are also here.
Jiang Li had the impression that there were seniors, peers, and juniors who were all extremely beautiful.
Jiang Li landed, concealed his breath, and walked into the imperial palace openly. In the outer court, busy ministers were dealing with memorials submitted from various places, handling government affairs, and discussing what kind of reply would comply with the regulations and satisfy the first emperor.
"The emperor is difficult to serve. Sometimes there is a perfect solution that can solve the problem, and the emperor agrees to it, but the next day he remembers something and rejects the solution. It's too repetitive."
"You should be happy if you are new here. If it were in the past, he would have killed us long ago if he was not satisfied with the plan. The emperor kills people much less often than before."
"Before His Majesty officially became the Emperor, he was already at the peak of the Mahayana stage, unfathomable, like the might of heaven. He didn't need a reason to kill anyone, he would kill whenever he wanted, starting with one person and capping at ten clans."
"Large projects that cost a lot of money and labor are one after another. Look at the ground under our feet. This is not dirt, but top-grade refining material."
"It is impossible to refine top-level magic tools outside now. All the materials are used in the Imperial Palace."
"I don't know what happened later, but the frequency of killings decreased significantly. However, I was still trembling every time I went to court, fearing that I would offend His Majesty and be dragged out and beheaded."
At this point, the ministers looked at each other. They were all bystanders and knew how cruel the First Emperor was.
To be an official in the Xian Dynasty is to tie your life to your waist. Before leaving, they have to hug and say goodbye to their loved ones, fearing that this will be the last time they see them.
They all wrote their suicide notes early.
Even if the situation has improved, who can guarantee that they will not be killed by the First Emperor? "Master Dong, the Great Zhou District reported that a forbidden book was found."
Dong Zhongren raised his eyebrows: "What's the content?"
"It is written truthfully about what your Majesty did."
