Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

At this time, Lin Ruofu was no longer young.

But he walked in front of the team, still with his head held high, showing extraordinary momentum.

Following behind Lin Ruofu, in addition to the cabinet ministers, there was also Chen Pingping.

Although this Chief Inspector did not enter the cabinet, he was still considered a core official of the Huaxia Empire.

In the current situation, we can't do without him.

After several ministers arrived, they met Fan Bin and Fan Xian.

At this point, the top leaders of the entire Chinese Empire have gathered together.

Lin Ruofu did not kneel down either.

This is a privilege granted by Fan Bin. Cabinet ministers do not have to kneel, and even other ministers only need to bow their hands.

Unless it is a formal occasion, everyone has to bow.

Other times, the rule has been essentially abolished.

"Your Majesty, you have been thinking about this for a long time before I wrote to you. I wonder..."

Lin Ruofu didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose.

Previously, Fan Bin acknowledged the identities of the crown princes of the two countries of Xiaoruogu.

Since Zhan Doudou has already started the action, they naturally have to cooperate.

He couldn't let his wife and children charge in the front while Fan Bin stayed behind.

Things went well.

The subjects of the Huaxia Empire accepted this reality much faster than Fan Bin had imagined.

As this news was announced, those small countries were very aware of the current situation and defected to Northern Qi and Huaxia.

By this time, all the small forces, including Dongyi City, have been divided up between the two countries.

The largest of them, Dongyi City, has become the largest city in the Huaxia Empire.

All of this went much more smoothly than Fan Bin had imagined.

However, just when Fan Bin thought that all this would go smoothly, an accident inevitably happened.

Now that the world is unified, it’s time for the final countdown.

It's not just Fan Bin and Zhan Doudou who are concerned about this matter.

But everyone in the whole world.

Among them, the most representative are the top military and political leaders of the two countries.

On the Chinese Empire side, the cabinet mainly compiled the opinions from below into memorials.

They wrote a letter together, asking Fan Bin to take the final step.

Become the common ruler of the world!

The Empress of Northern Qi was his wife, and the young Crown Prince Fan Ruogu was his son.

It is natural for Emperor Fan Bin to become an emperor of all ages. What's wrong with that?

And in terms of national strength.

Even though they established their country not long ago, Daqing hardly put up any resistance during the process of China's founding.

With the fall of Li Chengqian, everything seemed to be a matter of course. They became the orthodoxy of this half of the world...

It is for this reason that they have perfectly inherited Daqing's national strength, whether in terms of the country's comprehensive strength or the number of their masters.

China has an overwhelming advantage.

Their emperor is the invincible grandmaster, and there are three other grandmasters besides him.

Fan Xian, Si Gu Jian, Ye Liuyun.

On the other hand, in the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was only one national teacher, Ku He.

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

If it weren't for the special relationship between the two sides, if the two countries didn't have a common crown prince.

There was no need for their Huaxia Empire to go through so much trouble, they could have directly destroyed Northern Qi.

A mere bitter herb could not possibly stop them from moving forward.

In this case, after the two countries merge, their Chinese Empire should naturally be the main focus.

Moreover, their empire itself has changed its name. In other words, their country has entered a new era, and naturally cannot return to the old era after unification.

Lin Ruofu and several cabinet ministers had apparently already discussed the matter beforehand.

Seeing that there was no reply to the memorial, he was not discouraged. Instead, he went directly to the main hall and asked Fan Bin to express his opinion.

Fan Xian looked at his father-in-law, who looked very aggressive.

He also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Despite this scene, they had guessed it before.

Who doesn't have a little selfishness?

Not to mention the ministers in the court, even the two brothers have their own ideas when making decisions on many matters.

In theory, the emperor emeritus should no longer do anything and should just enjoy his old age in peace.

This can be said to be the rule of the existence of the Supreme Emperor.

Or they could be so arrogant as to abdicate early and give the throne to their sons.

Just like the perfect man in history.

Although he abdicated and became the emperor emeritus, he still maintained a firm control over government affairs.

He even did not move to the palace where he lived, and still occupied the bedroom where the previous emperor lived.

The other option is to just enjoy your old age and not worry about anything else.

For example, the one who was forced by Emperor Taizong of Tang to become the emperor emeritus.

Judging from these two, Fan Jian is undoubtedly closer to the latter.

Although he never became an emperor, the overall process was similar.

But Fan Bin and Fan Xian took into consideration that their father was actually still very young and it was the right time for him to build his career.

Although he has now abdicated, he is still allowed to supervise Danzhou and train the Tiger Guards.

Even some matters in the inner treasury were left to him to handle.

He is even busier now than when he was the Minister of Revenue.

There's nothing he can do about it, since neither of his two sons are workaholics.

They can delegate responsibilities while at the same time making that person trust them.

There are too few candidates.

Especially now that it is still in the early stages, there are constant changes and many troubles.

Fan Bin had no choice but to ask his father for help.

Even now, the Huaxia Empire has been established for several months.

The things on their hands are still a mess.

At this time, Lin Ruofu wanted to unify the world.

Fan Xian didn't dare to imagine how much trouble that would cause.
Doesn’t his father-in-law understand this?

Based on Fan Xian's understanding of his father-in-law, he must be able to see through everything.

I have already understood all the twists and turns here clearly.

But he did it anyway.

That means my father-in-law had reasons to do this.

How to deal with the affairs of Northern Qi?

Fan Bin had discussed this with him before, but Fan Xian didn't have any good ideas at the time.

They had already used the temple apparition once before.

Moreover, this matter has basically been resolved by 90%, with only the final 10% left. They cannot impose all their expectations on the temple.

In the end, you still have to solve the problem yourself.

As an emperor, Fan Bin felt a little embarrassed when facing a group of cabinet ministers.

He knew that the people in front of him did not have too many selfish motives and were only concerned about the public interest.

At least they are loyal and brave when it comes to the Chinese Empire.

Instead it was Fan Bin himself.

Let him voluntarily give up the leadership of the Huaxia Empire and follow the Northern Qi approach.

He is unwilling.

But Fan Bin felt embarrassed to force his wife and children.

He looked down at several important officials.

At this time, Fan Bin suddenly had a sudden realization in his heart. There were many things that Fan Bin could not figure out before.

Why would a grandmaster with such extraordinary strength be so obsessed with imperial power?

For example, the Emperor Qing before.

From Fan Bin's own point of view, he always insisted that the identity of Grand Master was more interesting than that of Emperor.

At the same time, it also makes the face more visible.

The real situation seems to be like this, the status of the Grand Master is implicitly above that of the empire.

Originally, Emperor Qing had already granted marriage to Fan Ruoruo, and this matter seemed difficult to change in anyone's opinion.

After all, you never joke.

But because of a letter from Grand Master Ku He, he decided to accept Fan Ruoruo as his personal disciple.

Emperor Qing had to admit with a pinch of his nose that his previous marriage prediction was invalid.

To rub the face of an emperor on the ground.

Emperor Qing has been hiding for so long and has never been exposed.

You can say he is deep-minded, you can say he is calculating the world.

But if a person truly loves martial arts, he will be like Fan Bin.

How could he bear not practicing in front of others or sparring with others for so many years?
This is obviously not normal.

Until now, Fan Bin himself has been sitting on the throne of the land king.

Suddenly, he understood why Emperor Qing liked being an emperor?
Even though he is a grandmaster, he is not immune to this.

The emperor's high position is different from that of anyone else. Even a great master does not have the majesty of an emperor.

Like now.

Obviously Fan Bin himself hasn't thought it through, so how should he negotiate with Zhan Doudou?

But he has a way to solve this problem.

"My dear ministers, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to speak up."

As an emperor, there are many things that you don't need to do yourself.

There are even some ideas that he doesn't have to come up with himself.

Naturally, someone will help him solve his problems.

Even a prime minister like Lin Ruofu was no exception.

They took the initiative to come to us at this time, obviously they had already thought about how to solve the problem at hand.

And they must have weighed the interests of all parties before making any suggestions.

After all, Zhan Doudou is Fan Bin’s wife, and Fan Ruogu is Fan Bin’s son.

Not only in Northern Qi, even in their Huaxia Empire, such an identity is enough to do whatever one wants.

What if the suggestions they put forward really offended these two people unintentionally?

Their end will definitely not be any better.

"Your Majesty, we have discussed it and decided that the country can only continue to use Huaxia. Even with the temple miracle, the hatred accumulated by the two countries is too deep. No matter which of the two previous names is used, the people of the other country will not be able to accept it."

After hearing his father-in-law's analysis, Fan Xian nodded repeatedly.

As expected of him, Fan Xian's father-in-law, he is indeed very shrewd and calculating.

He has taken all of this into consideration.

After saying this, Lin Ruofu deliberately paused.

As a prime minister who rose to the top rapidly, and who was promoted at a very young age.

Lin Ruofu is an expert at observing people's words and expressions.

He saw that neither of the two brothers spoke.

There was no expression on Fan Bin's face, but Fan Xian had a look of admiration on his face.

Want to resolve the dispute between the two countries and unify them.

Some things must be resolved.

There are three most important ones among them.

The first one is the name of this empire.

Should we use Huaxia or Daqing, or choose a new one.

No matter which choice you make, there will be various twists and turns.

From the perspective of the two brothers, they are undoubtedly more inclined towards China.

People of this era may have already forgotten the existence of China.

But as long as the two of them are alive, they will never allow this country name to be discontinued.

The two brothers had a tacit understanding to use this name for their country.

But how to convince Zhan Doudou is something none of them are good at.

The explanation given by Lin Ruofu is extremely appropriate.

I think even if the empress of Northern Qi heard it, she wouldn't be able to find any fault with it.

Apart from the country's name, the remaining two are territory and personnel.

Originally, these two countries were two empires.

There is no problem with them governing themselves.

But now the two countries have merged, the world is unified, and people from all over the world are united.

The choice of Kyoto has become less certain.

The final choice was the former capital of Daqing, which is now the capital of the Huaxia Empire.

Or the capital of Northern Qi?
After the two sides merged, officials would naturally follow to Beijing.

The officials of Northern Qi have already bought houses in the capital of Northern Qi. Will they be willing to move to the capital of the Huaxia Empire?
The same goes for the Chinese Empire.

Would these officials be willing to go to the capital of Northern Qi to serve as officials?

This is an unsolvable problem.

Fan Xian and Fan Bin pondered for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer.

When Lin Ruofu brought this up, even the two of them couldn't help but become curious.

"Your Majesty, the country will be named Huaxia, and the capital can be chosen here or in Dongyi City."

The largest city in the world is actually not the capital of either country, but the Dongyi City protected by Si Gu Jian.

The business there is extremely developed, the resources are abundant, and the population is large.

"What about the two current capitals?"

"It can be set up as the Southern Capital and the Northern Capital, and the Three Capitals system can be implemented in the future."

When Lin Ruofu calmly made this suggestion, Fan Xian and Fan Bin were both stunned.

China has produced many talented people in its 5000-year history.

Similar things have happened before.

There were two capitals, the Northern and Southern Capitals, in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, Lin Ruofu actually proposed the Three Capitals System.

After the unification of the world, the territory was too large.

Three courts were set up, one main and two deputy, one large and two small.

It is not impossible.

This not only makes management more convenient.

They could also build an official road similar to the Qin Straight Road between the three cities.

It is even possible to directly paint the gravel road.

Fan Xian and Fan Bin looked at each other in surprise. They had not thought about it in this regard before, but now it seems that it is possible.

"continue!"

Fan Bin did not express his opinion, but let Lin Ruofu continue speaking.

The prime minister of the Huaxia Empire also spoke eloquently.

"If these two problems are solved, the only thing left is inheritance. We know your majesty's good intentions, and you want to push the prince to the position of the greatest emperor in history. But the prince is still young, and we think it is more appropriate for your majesty to be the greatest emperor in history. The emperor of Northern Qi can be a queen or the emperor of Qi. We can say to the outside world that there are two saints ruling the country, and the sun and the moon shine together. In this way, I think the subjects of Northern Qi will be convinced."

Two emperors reign together, and there are three capitals.

Fan Bin and Fan Xian looked at the man who was talking in front of them, and suddenly they felt confused.

Could this guy also be a time traveler?
