The Han Empire on the Eastern Continent.
After they successfully resolved the danger from the vassal states, they began to implement a unified management and divided all the cities within the territory of the Han Empire into large areas, which was not much different from the original division of the vassal states.
However, one thing is that the original territories of the vassal states were ruled by emperors, but now they are completely gone, and there are only officials sent by the Han Empire.
At this time on the grassland, there is a barbarian country and a golden city.
Ever since Liang Jing and his group arrived at the grassland, they have actually been concerned about the situation in the Han Dynasty. They learned that the unification within the Great Wall has been completely completed.
And when the Emperor of the Han Dynasty concentrated all power in his own hands, Liang Jing suddenly realized at this moment that perhaps he was right to do so.
It is indeed perfect to divide all power into the emperor alone and control the entire territory of the Han Empire, without being constrained by the vassal states.
But doing so would also test the ability of an emperor. If the emperor was not capable enough, it would ultimately lead to the fall of their huge empire.
"What are you thinking about, Your Majesty?" Wang An walked over and asked softly.
Liang Jing sighed, "Don't call me Your Majesty. I'm no longer an emperor. I'm just a commoner. An emperor without a territory is just an ordinary person."
"I'll call you Mr. Wang from now on."
"Now that we no longer have a chancellor or emperor, it's just an illusion."
"What do you think about the Han Empire destroying all the vassal states now, and then merging them into cities?"
Wang An was also a shrewd man. Since Liang Jing asked about this matter in front of him, he would definitely tell him everything he knew. He hurriedly explained:
"Your Majesty, in fact, in the eyes of us ministers, it is a good thing for the Han Empire to do this, to destroy all these vassal states and concentrate power in its own hands."
"Only in this way can he mobilize all the vassal states and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Didn't the Qin State do the same? They adopted the system of prefectures and counties!"
"The historical records show that the Qin State destroyed all the vassal states and established a unified empire!"
"This system is actually quite perfect. Power is concentrated in the hands of the emperor alone, and it will ultimately make the people live a more prosperous life."
"Later, for some reason, the Qin State was destroyed and replaced by the Han Empire. However, the Han Empire used this plan of the vassal states to reunite them."
“But they are clearly unwilling to give up. Even after so much time has passed, they still want to destroy the vassal states.
After all, the areas directly ruled by the Han Empire all adopted the pre-Qin county system.”
After receiving Wang An's answer, Liang Jing sighed. She didn't know what to do. "If that's what you said, then there's no point in us persisting in restoring our country. The vassal states might withdraw forever."
Wang An nodded, not denying what he said, "Actually, what your majesty said is correct...
For the people, they just need to live and work in peace and contentment, they just need to live well, and the Han Empire can mobilize such a huge distribution of power.
Then, for the common people, they will be able to obtain more conveniences. In the past, when there were vassal states, they were very wary of each other, and trade was very difficult. "
"That's right." After hearing what Wang An said, Liang Jing seemed to have lost all hope in her heart. She felt that if she insisted on restoring the Great Zhou and letting them become vassal states again, it would only be going against the tide of history.
"Your Majesty, don't think so. In fact, the people of our Great Zhou all hope that our Great Zhou will return again and that Your Majesty can ascend the throne again!"
However, Liang Jing shook his head at this moment, "No, maybe I'm tired."
"This is also good. I was too tired before, dealing with various memorials every day, but now that I have some free time, I am really happy."
Wang An understood that His Majesty had lost his fighting spirit. After seeing that the Han Empire governed the people in an orderly manner and that destroying the vassal states was also the trend of history, she seemed to have lost hope.
"Then Your Majesty, if Lu Yun could come back, would you help him to restore the Qin Kingdom?"
"If he comes back, would you be willing to join him in attacking the Han Empire and reclaiming Qin's homeland?"
Hearing these words, Liang Jing suddenly had that vague man in her mind. She didn't know what he looked like, but he became more and more familiar to her in her heart, and his image became clearer and clearer.
She was stunned for a moment, "But there is still no news about that man. Maybe he will never come back."
"Mr. Wang, there's no need to persuade me. If he could really come back, I might actually consider it."
"But do you think this is possible? It's been so long."
Wang An was stunned for a moment, then explained with an unusually firm tone, "If Your Majesty is willing to believe, I believe he can definitely come back. If Your Majesty is unwilling to believe, then what's the point?"
"From my subjective point of view, he will definitely come back. He is a man who works miracles and he has never let us down."
"I hope so."
Just as the two were talking, Bai Xiaoxiao's daughter came over with her short legs, looking very happy. She stretched out her arms and shouted to Liang Jing, "Auntie, hug me."
"Aunt? Did your mother tell you?"
"Yes, my mother told me that you are my aunt. She said that you are very familiar with my father."
"I don't know if it's true, Auntie. What kind of person is my father?"
Liang Jing hesitated at this moment, because she had no idea what Lu Yun looked like.
"Auntie doesn't know either, and I don't know how to describe it to you, but you just need to understand that one day, your father will come back, and you will see him."
"Really?" the little girl said excitedly, "My mom said the same thing."
…
At the same time, Lu Yun and his group left the Persian Empire in a mighty manner and chose to set out from the east.
After leaving the Persian Empire, walk northeast and cross the oasis marked on the map, so that you can successfully reach the grassland.
Passing through this unknown area is a huge challenge for Lu Yun and his group.
The food they carried was not much, just enough to ensure they had enough to eat and drink under ideal circumstances.
