When Lin Hai walked out of Xin Yueping's bedroom, it was already the next morning.
Lin Hai found it hard to believe that a person could remember so many things with his brain. He also found it hard to believe how this information could be accurately passed down over at least ten thousand years and four hundred generations.
Xin Yueping told Lin Hai that the true inheritance of a dynasty is not like this.
When the old emperor felt that he was about to forget things, they would summon the prince to his bedroom, and then spend a long time telling him the content bit by bit, asking him to recite and repeat it over and over again. Only when they could no longer find any problems would they feel at ease to hand over power to the prince.
The new emperor would follow the late emperor's will and enter the Faraday cage every three days to reinforce his memory of what he had memorized, until every time he entered the cage, his mind would be filled with these things.
This habit of strengthening memory every three days will continue throughout his entire tenure.
This is also why it is rare to hear the news of the crown prince being deposed in this world, because once the crown prince has received the information, the old emperor will no longer be willing to change the heir. After all, teaching a student again is a very painful thing.
But there are still accidents.
After all, people are always prone to illness. What if the emperor, in his prime, suddenly falls ill and dies?
Or maybe the Crown Prince, who hasn't yet inherited the throne, really wants a promotion, but can't wait for a vacancy... In the end, he can only choose to secretly give his father a cup of poisoned wine full of filial piety...
Well, a filial son.
Such a situation is indeed inevitable.
Therefore, when the Qin Emperor, who rose from the grassroots eight thousand years ago, unified the world, he fell into a long period of entanglement.
All the royal families he destroyed told him the same story, and he had no choice but to believe it.
But he was really not sure whether his second son, who had followed him to conquer the world, established his own government and had half of the country's military power, would tolerate his eldest son succeeding to the throne.
What if the second brother kills the eldest brother and himself without giving himself time to react? Then wouldn’t the thousand-year inheritance be destroyed by himself?
The emperor thought it was better not to do such a sinner for all eternity.
So he ignored the opposition and adopted the feudal system, even though it would bring trouble to the stability of the whole world.
Sure enough, not long after the emperor's death, the Qin Dynasty fell into disintegration, and at its peak it was divided into seven countries.
Fortunately, the seven new royal families were able to preserve information, and the emperor successfully put his eggs in seven baskets.
From then on, a sentence was added to the royal tradition: at least three countries must exist at the same time in the world.
In other words, this information must be passed down simultaneously by at least three royal families to minimize the risk.
So if someone really succeeded in a coup and killed the old emperor in a lightning speed, so that he did not get any inheritance, then his neighbors would use the excuse of an alliance to personally tell him the details.
So for many years, countless people have been curious about the criteria used by the royal family to select an heir.
Sometimes it stands tall.
Sometimes the heir is established.
Sometimes the person who is enthroned is neither the eldest son nor the legitimate son.
Some even chose the son of a distant relative to succeed them.
Xin Yueping told Lin Hai that there was actually an unwritten hard requirement: a good memory...
It seems like you can memorize this one. Even if you are tired of studying for the college entrance examination, you still need to be able to travel back in time and become a prince...
Lin Hai could hardly imagine what kind of spirit this was.
When faced with the dignity of being human, the yearning for freedom, and the most basic needs of safety and reproduction as a living being, these people standing at the pinnacle of power in the world all chose to devote themselves to this seemingly endless inheritance.
Over the past ten millennia, there have been countless wise rulers and leaders of national rejuvenation, but also countless mediocre ones. Even many tyrants were poorly regarded at the time, sometimes overthrown by close ministers or peasant uprisings...
But even the most hedonistic emperor would stop his banquets every three days, send away his concubines, put down his favorite treasures, and then walk into the cage and begin to recite the contents left by his father...
However, they all faithfully carried out this promise and passed the information to the next emperor.
It didn't matter whether the new emperor was their son, a relative they had never met, a former minister, or the leader of a peasant army who stormed the palace and shouted that he would be torn into pieces.
In this world, the only person who is clearly immune to the disturbance and erosion of information is Lin Hai.
So Lin Hai asked Xin Yueping a question very seriously. Since he knew that he was coming, why did Xin Yueping still want to provoke a war with Qinghe?
Xin Yueping's answer was beyond Lin Hai's expectations.
Firstly, due to the inertia of ruling the country, the Khmer could not just ignore the changes in the southwest.
Secondly, it is also because of the need to clean up the population. Anyway, we have to fight a war, and it doesn't matter who we fight.
Thirdly, Xin Yueping said: "You will be mobilizing the resources of the entire continent to conquer the Abyss. However, we cannot and will not disclose your background to everyone. Therefore, if the entire royal family were to grant you unified authority, even if the Emperor is willing, the generals, soldiers, and civilians below would likely complain. Therefore, we must first demonstrate your strength to them."
In the southwest, what better way to demonstrate your strength than to destroy the Khmer Empire, which has existed for four hundred years?
