What is a nation?

Ning Xiaolan's inquiry made many people put down the food in their hands and looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian smiled slightly, but did not explain, but instead signaled Yan Zean to explain. This approach is actually very arrogant, and I don’t bother to answer your question. Li Xian’s actions made Ning Xiaolan look a little ugly.

Yan Ze'an pondered for a while and said, "The nation involves a lot of things, and it is difficult to summarize it in one sentence or a few sentences. Moreover, the Shang Kingdom and the current Shang nation are still exploring.

But if we have to explain it, I think that nation is a group that has the same spiritual beliefs. We have commonalities in language, culture, living habits, living areas, dreams, etc., and even in politics, economy, art, etc.

A nation is spiritual and a country is material.

However, the definition scope of the Shang nation is mainly the human race within the Shang country; of course, it is also welcome to yearn for the nation outside the Shang country.

The country and the nation are closely related, but there are some differences. For example, the country can integrate different races; but it is difficult for the nation to do so. The merchant nation has also wanted to integrate into the demon race, etc. in its development, but it ended in failure.

That's all."

Yan Zean said something a bit fragmented, but Ning Xiaolan understood a lot. After thinking for a while, Ning Xiaolan forced a smile and continued to ask Yan Zean: "Then the country and the nation should have different interests, right? If the interests of the country and the nation conflict, which one should first?"

Yan Zean looked at Ning Xiaolan's eyes and smiled complacently: "The interests of the people first!"

Ning Xiaolan's face was a little stiff, but Yan Ze'an's answer was really incisive. He avoided Ning Xiaolan's trap and even fought back - your Ning Guo's thoughts are too narrow.

However, Ning Xiaolan was prepared after all, and still insisted on asking a lot of things since then. Especially about colonial trade, Ning Xiaolan was most concerned about it; but unfortunately, what Ning Xiaolan got was only the official answer. Shangguo and Ning Guo were in a hostile relationship after all, and Ning Xiaolan did not expect to explore the core secrets of Shangguo at the moment. Today's negotiations and meetings have gained a lot.

At night, when it was late at night, Ning Xiaolan reflected on the daytime investigation to the bright moon. Today's Ningguo needs change, and learning from Shangguo is the easiest and most feasible method.

Constitutional monarchy, legal system, citizen system, Shang nation... A piece of memory came, and Ning Xiaolan straightened these memories and the daytime discussions over and over again, trying to summarize strategies that were beneficial to Ningguo. But it was not easy to talk about. Shang Kingdom had already walked very far and far on a completely unfamiliar road in Ning Xiaolan.

Ning Xiaolan stayed in Shangguo for three days and personally visited Shangguo's factories, ports, transportation hubs, etc. Finally, Ning Xiaolan contacted Tangguo and changed the route to Tangguo.

The Tang State and the Shang State were different. Li Xian could use the excuse of "constitutional monarchy" to neglect Ning Xiaolan, but the Tang State could not. Therefore, Li Yulong welcomed her in person.

After the dinner, Ning Xiaolan invited Li Yulong to talk about whether she could talk alone to the evening.

Let’s talk about it alone, and Li Yulong agreed very simply. Obviously, Ning Xiaolan’s visit in person was a purpose, and Li Yulong could guess it.

Under the bright moonlight, Li Yulong and Ning Xiaolan met in the rockery of the Imperial Garden. Ning Xiaolan took off her prosperity and only wore a white long dress, like a fairy under the moon; but her nobleness was tenacious and stubborn, which was invisible.

The night wind blows Ning Xiaolan's long shirt, like a fairy Ling Chen, extraordinary.

Li Yulong looked at him quietly, and his heart was inevitably amazed and admired. Such a woman turned out to be an emperor. Suddenly, Li Yulong felt a little thrilling in his heart. Over the years, Li Yulong has been very tired, and as an emperor, he is lonely. It can be said that in terms of identity, Li Yulong and Ning Xiaolan are naturally close.

Ning Xiaolan arrived gracefully, came to Li Yulong, and leaned slightly: "I have seen fellow Taoists."

Tonight, the two of them are not emperors, but fellow Taoists, fellow Taoists who practice and those who govern the country. It should be said that the call of “Fellow Taoists” was very appropriate.

Li Yulong nodded slightly: "Please sit down."

Ning Xiaolan sat down and sighed quietly: "Only by sitting in this position, I know what a lonely man is. Before I met fellow Taoist, Xiaolan thought that the whole world was the only one."

The voice was quiet, like resentment and crying, and the worries of the beauty under the moon made no man ignore it. However, Li Yulong was not a little boy, and he was still wary in his heart. The woman in front of him was not a little girl, but a real emperor.

Of course, Ning Xiaolan is not an ordinary woman. She is not artificial at this time, but she seems to have put down her strong shell. "I have met the wise king before, but it seems that I can't communicate. Shangguo and Ningguo are two completely different countries, and we can't find a common language.

But I really envy the wise king. He is different from us. He is not alone, and he doesn’t need to be alone."

This seemed to open up Li Yulong's words. Li Yulong nodded: "The constitutional monarchy is indeed very good, but we can only see it. In fact, I once wanted to imitate the model of Shang State, and even borrow people from Shang State to formulate a constitutional monarchy system. However, after thinking about it for a long time, I had to give up."

"Why?"

"Because the current system of the Tang State is very suitable. Shang State is Shang State, and Tang State is Tang State, these are two different countries after all."

When Ning Xiaolan heard this, a trace of light flashed deep in her eyes, but her face seemed a little melancholy: "In recent years, Yingzhou has changed so quickly. In a blink of an eye, there are only three countries left.

But among the three countries, Shang is the strongest and Ning is the weakest, just like a pile of loose sand. I want to truly unify Ning is, but the old nobles each have their own ideas and interests.

Now, I can’t see the future of Ningguo.”

Ning Xiaolan's words seemed to be talking about Li Yulong's heart. But when she saw Li Yulong smiled bitterly, "Isn't this the case in Tang Dynasty? Although Tang Dynasty is good now, it is actually just the surface. Nowadays, people often talk about the words "Saint King" and "Shang Kingdom" in the territory of Tang Dynasty, but rarely mention their own country. This situation is getting worse and worse."

The light in Ning Xiaolan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and these words were waiting for. But at this time, Ning Xiaolan continued to sigh quietly: "Shang Kingdom is indeed too powerful. If possible, I don't want to be an enemy of Shang Kingdom. This world is so big, and now I want to go out and see it. Just like Shang Kingdom, go to the moon, but in other worlds.

Fellow Daoist Li, do you think we can cooperate? After the cooperation, we will stabilize the situation in Yingzhou on the one hand, and explore the outside world together on the other hand?"

It is very obscure to stabilize the situation in Yingzhou; but in fact, it means jointly resisting the Shang Dynasty, ensuring the interests of our two countries, and allowing Yingzhou to form a three-legged situation.

All of these people were sealed, only their eyes could turn around, and their eyes were full of fear. Teams of soldiers placed these people in the position designated by the large formation. After more than three hours of busyness, they were finally placed.

Suddenly, Li Jiansheng waved his hand and a super formation with a radius of more than 30 kilometers started, and the rolling evil spirits surged into the sky. Not only were the 660,000 people trapped, but more than 100,000 soldiers.

"Li Jiansheng!" the generals roared and the soldiers roared.

Li Jiansheng looked down from a high altitude, with a cold expression: "If you want to summon the gate of hell, in addition to the souls of people born in the Yin year, Yin month and Yin day, you also need the military evil of soldiers. In fact, when you are involved in this matter, your destiny is already destined!

Be angry, be resentful, the more angry you are, the more stable the gates of hell will be!

rise!"

Around, a large number of top masters flew into the air and activated the formation to run together, and the light of the formation broke through the sky.

The formation fluctuated and circled, and the flowing light formed by the evil spirit air shuttled through. As long as the flowing light was caught in, no matter whether it was ordinary people or masters among the soldiers, they all mixed in an instant and flesh and blood flew away, leaving only a wisp of residual soul.

Screams, roars, and scolding sounded, but they were useless. Even many people's souls suddenly rolled towards the soldiers' souls - it's time to take revenge.

Distorted souls floated into the air and became bricks and stones; while anger, evil spirits, resentment, etc., were like glue, connecting all the souls and gradually combining them into a large city gate.

Unlike the Jinlong guided by Xing State to open up the gates of hell with the guidance of the national fortune, this time it was completely formed by using unjust souls and others.

Souls gradually piled up into a tall city gate, surrounded by gray mist, which had a bit of a sense of depth of clouds, but unfortunately it was full of death.

The gate of hell quickly took shape, floating in the air like a gate of heaven. The gate of hell was dark and heavy. It appeared and was filled with indescribable gloom in the gray mist. The night also cast a layer of coldness on the gate of hell.

On the left side of the gate is a turbid yellow river flowing quietly, with white bones rising and falling inside; on the right side of the gate is a miserable green river, with translucent souls rising and falling in it.

At the center gate, there are reliefs of cow heads and horses, reliefs of black and white impermanence, and the legendary reliefs of the Eighteen Hells. The ferocious aura seems to be coming to your face.

However, this time, after the door opened, a proud figure suddenly floated out inside. Dark purple light was lingering all over his body, and his face was not clear, but the crown above his head was particularly eye-catching.

He stood at the gate, his cold eyes swept around, and the vast voice echoed between the sky and the earth:

"It's you again. In just a few years, you have opened the gates of hell twice, interfering with the operation of the underworld and creating huge killings. You are guilty!"

The cold eyes shot directly into Li Jiansheng's eyes, carrying the oppressive breath of the pressure of heaven and earth, as if to force Li Jiansheng to bow his knees.

However, Li Jiansheng was an emperor after all, and now Li Jiansheng and others are all banned by Shangguo. They have no life and are there to be fear. What's more, even now the practice of the Immortal Realm has risen rapidly, and it has even surpassed the most glorious moment in the ancient Immortal Realm. Everyone has high cultivation and courage.

So Li Jiansheng roared angrily: "Where did the cow* ghost and snake god come from? How dare you run to the world to shout! Take it down for me!"

Although the masters around were a little stunned, the sudden appearance was obviously not within the plan; who would have thought that just opened a door to hell, it seemed that the king of hell appeared.

But everyone is a master. They have just experienced the baptism of war. When they heard Li Jiansheng's words, they cooperated and suddenly took action.

Countless souls swept, instantly sealing the gate of hell, and separating the figure of the king from the world in the fairyland.

"Rareless!" The king was furious and defeated all his souls with a wave of his hand and was about to retreat. But it was too late.

Li Jiansheng released his luck as an emperor. These lucks were not much, but an attack was enough. The emperor's luck swept the power of many masters and formed a giant king's palm, which fell down with a bang. The giant king's palm grabbed the figure of the king with its irresistible power.

"Seal!" Li Jiansheng roared, and the kingly giant palm suddenly turned into a rope. The masters around him took action one after another. In an instant, many seals fell. After a cup of tea, the dark purple figure from the gate of hell was caught by Li Jiansheng like a stone sculpture, and he was grabbed by pinching his neck.
