Chapter 231 Abolition of the monarchy
Seven days later, the Dragon King and his party rushed outside Luoyang City.
At this time, Luoyang City had become a ruin. Dong Zhuo not only plundered his subordinates, but also lit a large fire to burn Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo himself burned to death in the palace, and his family and son-in-law Niu Fu were burned to death with him. Dong Zhuo's generals Li Jue and Guo Si led the remnants to Chang'an.
The generals followed the Dragon King into Luoyang City, looked at the ruins in Luoyang City, and felt the anger of the Dragon King, and were silent.
I came to the palace, and the palace became scorched earth. On a high platform, there were dozens of burnt corpses. One of them could be seen sitting on a dragon throne, as if mocking everyone.
Looking at Dong Zhuo's burnt corpse, the Dragon King slowly spoke: "Dong Zhuo was cruel and cruel, cruel and unkind, and was a great thief in the country. This thief is not blessed by heaven and earth, and he abandoned it with people and gods. People come and crushed the thief's corpse and expose it to the wilderness to comfort the dead souls."
Everyone answered the order: "Here."
He stepped forward and took Dong Zhuo's body down, hammered it with a pestle, hammered it into powder, and then slapped it outside Luoyang City.
"Li Jue and Guo Si are a member of Dong Zhe, and should also be killed. Sun Jian, Ma Teng, Liu Bei, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, you can lead the Xiliang army to come and chop off the two thieves' dog heads. I don't want to see any of them, kill them all!!"
"Here!!"
After Sun Jian and Ma Teng led the troops to the front, the Dragon King said to Yuan Shao, Cao Mengde and others: "Send troops to search and see if someone survives, treat them immediately. If there are still hundreds of officials, let them come to see me immediately."
"Here!!"
Dong Zhuo was more cruel than Dong Zhuo in the original history, because in the original history, although Dong Zhuo evacuated Luoyang, he did not know that he would die soon, so he brought all the officials to evacuate. This time, Dong Zhuo made up his mind to let Luoyang City be buried with him, and even the palace was destroyed. Liu Bian and Liu Xie, all the princes and daughters were killed by him, and the officials were also killed by him, and they were extremely crazy.
Luoyang City has about one million people in its surrounding areas. The population in Luoyang City alone is not that large, but at least hundreds of thousands of people have to be hundreds of thousands. This time, Dong Zhuo killed almost all of the hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City, which is simply horrifying.
Finally, Yuan Shao, Cao Mengde and others led the soldiers to search and rescued tens of thousands of people from the ruins. These were either hiding in secret passages or hiding in secret rooms, and escaped by chance.
As soon as they saw the Dragon King, these surviving people cried loudly and begged the Dragon King to make the decision for them. Only when they learned that Dong Zhuo had been crushed and ashes were thrown into ashes could they relieve the pain a little.
There were countless officials in Luoyang, but there were only a dozen officials left in the end, because Dong Zhuo was the first to kill these officials. Yuan Shao and Cao Mengde asked one by one, and found that the three masters, nine ministers, and all kinds of ministers and officials were all dead, and no one left. Wang Yun, who should have been famous in history, also died during this catastrophe.
The only benefit of this catastrophe is that the Dragon King will not have to cleanse all officials in the future, and Dong Zhuo indirectly helped the Dragon King.
Ten days later, with the concerted efforts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, the ruins of Luoyang were cleaned up again. During these ten days, the Dragon King was thinking about what he wanted to do next.
Whether it is watching movies or TV or novels, the Dragon King always feels very cautious when he sees those emperors ascending to the throne, but the Dragon King really doesn't feel this way. Perhaps this has something to do with his ability to do it too easily?
"Am I going to get to that position? Become the Emperor?"
After thinking of this, the Dragon King shook his head without hesitation. He is a future dragon god, what kind of mortal emperor? Can the mortal emperor have a high status as a dragon god? It is obviously not as good as that. If he becomes an emperor, he will be a bit self-destructive.
Therefore, it is impossible for the emperor to be an emperor, so let others become emperors?
The Dragon King still shook his head. If someone else was asked to be the emperor, then will the Dragon King listen to the emperor or the Emperor listen to the Dragon King? Obviously, the Dragon King will definitely not listen to the emperor, so why should the Dragon King make an emperor to burp and respond to him?
So in the end, the Dragon King came up with a solution and simply abolished the imperial system. In the future, there was no emperor under his rule. Just like Nanhai County, the officials obeyed him directly.
After figuring this point, the Dragon King suddenly realized that governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman. He could apply the model of Nanhai County to the entire Shenzhou. Each county has an official, and then the others are officials, one county has a prefect, and one state has a governor. Of course, this kind of governor is definitely not the kind that is monopolized by military and political power. Then, there will be some central officials, and it will be almost done.
As for the problem of too few officials, this is not a problem at all, because he will definitely achieve automation in the future, and all affairs will be handled through a management center like a supercomputer. People can solve most of their daily needs without leaving home, just like they would be performed in future science fiction movies.
"If other rulers want to do this, it will take at least dozens or hundreds of years to know the road ahead. But I, who hold the Dragon God system, can shorten the time countless times. Five years? Ten years? Ten years? Is it almost the same?"
"But although I don't become an emperor, I must have a name. I must make the name correct, so that the land of China is well-known under my rule, so that it can facilitate future actions."
"Then, I need to spend a certain amount of time to inspect the Thirteen State and adopt all the people of the Thirteen State as believers. This is nearly 60 million believers. If all of them are included as believers, the faith point can reach 600,000 every day! Sharpening the knife will not delay the machete, so even if inspecting the Thirteen State is a waste of time, it must be done."
"So, the next thing I have to do is to justify myself, then inspect the Thirteen State Council, and then lead the people to a great leap in science and technology."
Some things are difficult just by imagination, but if you really do it and clarify your ideas, it is actually quite simple. The Dragon King found that what he wanted to do was really similar to what he wanted to do.
When he was in Nanhai County, the Dragon King was like this. He inspected the situation of the counties in the county every now and then. After the inspection, he returned to Qingping County to focus on development. Now, the territory has only expanded a little, but in fact, what he had to do is similar.
The relaxed Dragon King immediately received good news. Ma Teng and Sun Jian successfully robbed Li Jue and Guo Si. With Dian Wei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushing into the formation, Li Jue and Guo Si were defeated, and the remnants of both were also killed, leaving no one left.
