I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 169: Treason (Subscription Request)
When Lu Jing was promoting new learning on the Mobei grasslands, and then took his disciples to select tribes on the grasslands to put the theory into practice, Zhang Ge Lao rushed to Mobei.

As one of the few people at the pinnacle of power in Dayu, Lord Zhang still has some cards to his name.

So Lu Jing left behind a Su Yan clone, and then turned into a beam of light and flew to Anbei Academy.

When they arrived outside the Anbei Academy, Lu Jing showed up and walked quickly towards the main hall of the academy.

But before he reached the main hall, he saw Lord Zhang, who had sensed Lu Jing's return, leading his men outside, and he bumped into Lu Jing who was walking in.

As soon as Zhang Ge Lao saw them, he said anxiously, "Oh! It's already this time and you're still going through all this red tape with me. You actually walked here from outside the academy. Don't you know I'm almost dying of anxiety?"

Lu Jing laughed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Gelao's face darkened: "I don't believe you haven't heard the rumors outside. Now the whole capital is discussing how to deal with you. Some even want to put you in jail for treason."

Lu Jing led Zhang Ge Lao to sit in the nearby pavilion, and then asked slowly: "What next?"

He even seemed a little fearless: "They want to put me in jail, but do they have the qualifications to do so?"

Zhang Gelao's face turned even darker.

What I’m afraid of is this attitude!
When this huge imperial court really starts to operate, how can Lu Jing stop it?

Zhang Ge Lao advised: "You are so arrogant and rebellious that you will bring about your own destruction. The imperial power is unique and invincible. If it senses an enemy, it will do everything it can to eliminate the threat."

"Yes, you occupied the tiny land of Japan and created all kinds of new inventions, bringing immeasurable wealth to Dayu."

"But compared to the stability of the imperial power, these are nothing."

Zhang Ge Lao said earnestly: "The way to be an official is to think of danger, retreat, change, and protect yourself. Only in this way can you realize your ambitions."

Lu Jing tilted his head and smiled: "That's why the Great Yu court has become like this now."

"The gentry are united, colluding with each other; the royal family has seized land, and the royal family is bloated and corrupt."

"You haven't taken sole power yet. Even if you take sole power in the future, how many years can Dayu survive? The fall of Dayu is not a big deal. What's scary is that the one who takes over Dayu will not be someone from the Han family of Zhongzhou."

Until then!
What should the world do when monsters and barbarians invade?

If we want to eradicate the ills, we have to get rid of many things.

This is a struggle.

A life-and-death struggle.

Lu Jing's impassioned speech left Zhang Ge Lao stunned.

This guy……

I just go all out!

Zhang Ge Lao hadn't seen Lu Jing for a long time. When he saw Lu Jing again after several years, he found that Lu Jing's temperament was still as righteous and evil as ever.

Although it's weird, it's indeed very positive.

This is a blessing for the world.

Zhang Ge Lao's heart was filled with words, but when he spoke, he sighed deeply: "Alas! I am not as good as you. You are really good at planning for the country, but not so good at planning for yourself."

Lu Jing: "..."

That’s not really the case.

Lu Jing did this just to enhance the power of his supreme magical power "Law of Heaven and Earth".

Although the Zhongzhou court holds a very large proportion in the luck of this world, Lu Jing wants not only the luck of the Zhongzhou court, but the luck of the entire human race! He even wants to use the luck of the human race to devour the luck of the demon and barbarian races!
So as to achieve world unity!
Thereby allowing one's supreme magical power to truly reach the level of "unparalleled throughout history and unrivaled today".

Since Lu Jing had made up his mind, Zhang Ge Lao's attitude suddenly became somewhat unpredictable. He asked, "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials, or are you going to do what Yi and Huo did in the past?"

"neither."

Lu Jing asked back: "What do you think about the emperor now holding all the power?" Lord Zhang suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lu Jing continued to ask: "Do you think that the abilities of the emperors of all dynasties are sufficient to be emperors? If they are capable, what about their moral character?"

"When one person holds all the power, what is there to supervise them? Who dares to supervise them?"

Zhang Ge Lao: "..."

These are extremely outrageous remarks.

If it was Taizu, Chengzu, or even during the reign of the previous emperor, no one would dare to say such words.

But now... they can talk about it.

Especially Lu Jing.

He actually has absolute power now, and to be honest, no one in the government or the public can sanction him.

Absolute violence is absolute power.

Lu Jing understands this truth better than anyone else.

No one stronger than him will come down from the sky to beat him, and in this world, no one is stronger than him.

So Lu Jing now feels like he can do whatever he wants.

Zhang Ge Lao looked around. Although this was the Anbei Academy, there was no possibility of spies and there were no ears behind the walls.

But there are certain things he still can't say.

Lu Jing said to himself, "There are three ways. One is a petition by the people. When more than 80% of the people in Dayu unite to petition together, the luck of the people can smash the luck of the emperor and knock him off the throne. Similarly, a province, a prefecture, and a county should do the same. And before officially abdicating, an investigation should be initiated."

"If the people of the world are really suffering and angry, then we should do what we have to do."

"If anyone is secretly doing this, then all nine, ten, or even eleven clans will be implicated!"

Zhang Ge Lao: "..."

Lu Jing continued: "Second, let the heavens know. There is another world outside ours, and there are many outstanding people there. We can also report the affairs of the human world to the heavens. Even if they cannot respond, the temple priests of the Wen and Wu temples are still there. They are the will of the heavens walking in the human world, and they can serve as supervisors in the human world."

"Third, the cabinet and the emperor supervise each other. When the emperor's throne is linked to the fate of the people, the emperor must ensure the safety of the people and the prosperity of the country. Therefore, the emperor should no longer interfere in government affairs. He only needs to inspect the country and instruct the cabinet to do anything where there is injustice or suffering. Everything! is based on the welfare of the people."

"If we really encounter irreconcilable difficulties, we can report to the gods and ask for their judgment."

After Lu Jing finished speaking, he looked at Elder Zhang and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Gelao snorted coldly: "How audacious! Do you think no one has ever thought of doing this before? Guess what happened in the end?"

"Dead."

"They are all dead."

“There’s not even a grave.”

Although what Lu Jing said was shocking, it was not earth-shattering.

On the contrary, before Lu Jing, many sages had already thought about the uncontrollability of imperial power and the difficulties faced by the people.

As the saying goes, when a country rises or falls, the people suffer.

No matter how good the original intention of a policy is, it will become a policy that wastes people's time and money due to the manipulation of officials and gentry below.

Therefore, the real difficulty in governing the world is often not how to discipline the emperor.

But how to control all the officials in the world.
