บท 723: Chapter 688: Enlightened by Observing Flowers

"Just by resembling the divine, one can be favored by Heaven and Earth, and have the magic of creation..."

Li Fan suddenly recalls an anecdote from the former Da Xuan Dynasty.

The last Emperor Zheng Xu of the previous dynasty was originally a rare restorer of the nation. Since he ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, he put an end to the reign of powerful ministers, pacified the robbers, promoted water projects, exempted taxes— he swept away the image of a failing dynasty, much like the saints of old. In just over twenty years, the world had become peaceful and prosperous. The people had no worries about food and clothing, and they praised the virtues of their wise ruler; all the officials bowed in submission, and they wrote books about his virtues.

If he had continued like this, there might not have been any events like the founding emperor of Da Xuan who changed the world.
