Original God, but the real world

Chapter 154 153-The Core of the Problem
Jiang Qing spent a whole day in the workshop making fireworks with Xiao Gong.

It was not until the evening that he rejected Xiao Palace's invitation and prepared to go to Northland Bank for dinner.

Since they are so familiar with the Fatui, they won't refuse a guest like him, right?
That’s what Jiang Qing thought.

However, the host over there may not welcome him. But here, there is another host waiting to invite him to dinner.

Jiang Qing touched the tip of his nose and sighed slightly.

This is only the first day, right?

The invitation to Xinhai of Coral Palace had not been sent very far.

Haizhi Island must have been waiting for a while and is eager to know the results on his side.

You know, Coral Palace Xinhai insisted on this matter, and Goro even took out his own Divine Eye for it.

The other party has supported me so much, and now that we need to repay them, we really shouldn't delay.

Fortunately, it will probably only be this busy today.

"I've been waiting for you since you left the God of Thunder," Ganyu touched the hair hanging by her ears, "but since you seemed very busy, I didn't disturb you."

"A little bit." Jiang Qing gestured to clean up a little bit, "How about it, do you want to treat me to a meal?"

"Okay." Ganyu nodded. "How about the place where Tartaglia and you had dinner?"

"You're treating, I'm fine."

Jiang Qing didn't care.

"How much did you hear?" he asked casually.

"I was there from beginning to end...except for what happened after you entered the workshop." At this point, Ganyu also teased, "Your love story has nothing to do with what Qixing said. I won't eavesdrop."

The news about Xiao Palace probably came from Beidou.

Ever since Jiang Qing entered Ningguang's sight, Ningguang naturally sent people to investigate Jiang Qing.

This is a routine operation of this group of people. When they want to use you, unless they have no choice, they will generally investigate a person's experience.

Jiang Qing later gained the old man's recognition. Not to mention him, even the family tree of his father's generation and above was probably investigated by someone.

Of course, it is no secret how he left Inazuma.

"It's not a love story." Jiang Qing felt quite uncomfortable.

He had just brought together another couple's love story, and to do so he even sent one of the couple's father to jail to ensure the couple's success.

Jiang Qing did not ask for the newlyweds to be grateful; he made this decision purely out of support for pure love.

There are no interests, only emotions.

Now when he hears love stories, he feels a little uncomfortable.

"You know how I left, why do you still think Xiao Gong likes me?" Jiang Qing didn't quite understand. "You saved a cat and a dog out of kindness, but to be honest, you have saved many cats and dogs."

Kindness and liking are two different things.

"I know." Gan Yu said confidently, "Seeing that you couldn't say anything for a long time, I knew that you like her. Even though she doesn't like you, this is also a love story, right?"

Yarema.

Jiang Qing was speechless.

When he met Xiao Gong, it was the lowest point in his life.

Jiang Qing thought about it himself, but he couldn't think of what was so pleasing about him that the girl liked him.

But on the other hand, it makes sense that he likes Xiao Palace.

When you were down and out, you met a kind and beautiful girl who took good care of you and helped you leave the wife you thought was unsuitable.

Why not like it?

But he wasn't completely without merits at that time... At least he was still very courageous.

"You can't say that, right?" Jiang Qing's expression remained unchanged. "At least I was quite courageous at that time."

"tell me the story?"

Ganyu came closer, looking at the fun with some interest.

"I left Inazuma because I wanted to beat Kujo Takayuki to death." Jiang Qing said confidently, "I knew that no matter how much I tried to accumulate strength in Inazuma, I couldn't complete my revenge on Kujo Takayuki, so I wanted to try somewhere else."

Inazuma's environment, anyone who lives and works here will never see the back of Kujo Takayuki until he dies.

The responsibility of enforcing the heavenly rank naturally fell on the Kujo family. What else is there to say?

"He is indeed brave." Ganyu did not deny it.

After a down-and-out businessman was cheated, even if his opponents were the two big executives, Jiang Qing's first reaction was to find an opportunity to fight back instead of swallowing his anger.

From this point of view, he is very courageous and extremely daring.

Gan Yu turned sideways and looked at Jiang Qing.

However, the most magical thing about reality is that he really came back, and stepped on the heads of Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, using them as chess pieces in his plan.

The two officials were just two chess pieces in his plan.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared an explanation." Jiang Qing replied casually.

He just thought that Ganyu came this time to ask about his plan on behalf of Qixing.

After all, according to the original arrangement, he should be an ally of Shebuxing and cut off the cooperation between the Fatui and Tianlingbuxing.

But at the critical moment, he stopped.

Ganyu did have reason to doubt his position.

But Jiang Qing had already made up an excuse.

When he came out of the castle tower, he knew that Ganyu needed an answer, and it was not difficult to make up a reason.

"You misunderstood." Ganyu shook her head, "I don't care about your position."

"No doubt?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows.

He was too embarrassed to ask, "Then why did you stand up?"

"I believe in the Emperor." Gan Yu said softly.

Jiang Qing let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I believed in the old man, not myself.

This time he plays the role of a powerful official and is not worthy of trust.

If we really throw trust at it, it will be troublesome.

While waiting for the dishes, Jiang Qing thought about his next plan.

It is quite difficult to get the scattered soldiers to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine on their own initiative.

But this is a token of allegiance.

The so-called token of allegiance, if you can't even do this well, you naturally have no face to ask for anything else.

It’s not that this matter is simple, but accomplishing this matter is the basic condition for both parties to reach cooperation and conduct transactions.

To Inazuma, Yaegamiko is truly second only to the emperor.

Jiang Qing pursued power, but he was also very clear that with power at this level, coupled with the strength of the Eightfold Son of God, there were not many chips left that could impress the Eightfold Son of God.

All she wanted was to shake up Lei's movie-going meditations.

Jiang Qing couldn't do this, as Ying had already been captured by the other party. The only ones who had a chance to try were the scattered soldiers.

If he can't even get past the scattered soldiers, there's no point in negotiating any deal with him.

But the scattered soldiers are not easy to deal with.

If the Eightfold Son of God doesn't work, can he try harder with the general and see if he can win the heart of God?

The probability of this happening is even smaller, as the Heart of God was given to Yae Godson by Shadow, and the general cannot possibly ask for it.

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes.

The worst way is to directly spread the news that the Heart of God is in the hands of the Eightfold Son of God, and then try to fish in troubled waters.

The quality of the archives he has saved so far is far beyond the reach of the previous two copies.

The first time, he was considered Qin's aide and had a certain say.

The second time, he was the inheritor of the power of Morax, and both the immortals and the Seven Stars would give him some decision-making power.

This time, he has more than just a little decision-making power.

When Jiang Qing said that he could throw Hiiragi Shinsuke in there, he was not joking, but he really had the power to do so.

But high quality has no value.

If you are not satisfied with the final result, you can only give up what you have now and strive for the highest return.

The foundation of his life is neither power nor friendship with these people.

To put it in a more pragmatic way, the current relationship between him and everyone is mostly based on goodwill derived from cooperation.

He must first be valuable before he can gain the chips of more people and then gain greater benefits.

"You want the Heart of God?"

Ganyu suddenly asked.

"Yes." Jiang Qing nodded. "I know that the Heart of God is not for ordinary people, but I think if I need to use the Heart of God one day, I must have it."

The skirmishers designed by Lei Dianying himself needed to go through several rounds of debugging and gain the support of the Fatui and the Council of the Order before they were qualified to accommodate the Heart of God and go a step further to complete their ascension to godhood.

Ordinary people would just take a look at the Heart of God.

But you may not use such precious resources, but you cannot live without them.

The Heart of God will certainly bring trouble, but Jiang Qing believes that all important things in the world will bring trouble.

This is true for Mora and for power.

There will always be people who value the precious things you own, but whether they will cause trouble does not depend on how precious they are, but on the ability of their owners.

"The Heart of the God of Thunder is in the hands of the Son of God?" Gan Yu sighed slightly, "How do you know this kind of news?"

The second half of her sentence was quite gentle, and she did not expect an answer.

Jiang Qing had no intention of answering.

"I won't bring any trouble to Liyue." Jiang Qing said softly, "I promised to stop the cooperation between Kujo Takayuki and the Fatui and help the Shebuxing who leans towards the outside world to take the throne."

"I promised, and I will do it."

"So you have to throw Hiiragi Shinsuke in there."

Jiang Qing's promise made Gan Yu feel relieved.

"Will my promise make you feel a little more at ease?" Jiang Qing's expression became serious. "But I think I'm quite a good liar."

"I will kill you." Ganyu smiled gently, "If you cannot travel and fulfill the contract promised by the Seven Stars and the Immortal."

"Yeah······"

Jiang Qing smiled, his eyes extremely calm.

"Let me make it clear first. I promised two things. I can guarantee both of them. But the results may not be what you expect."

It doesn't matter whether you say this or not, because the general won't care even if he knows.

He looks at the results, not the opinions of the people who are carrying out the tasks.

"Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki have the same crime, but the failure of military affairs directly threw all the conflicts on Kujo Takayuki's head."

Jiang Qing's words were somewhat amusing, "Actually, neither of them can escape."

Regarding military affairs, Kujo Takayuki must be the one in charge.

But in the matter of the Eye Hunting Order and treason, Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki were equally guilty.

The responsibility belongs to Kujo Takayuki, but when it comes to things like murder and confiscating property, once a line is crossed, it doesn't matter who is more responsible, because everyone only has one family tree.

Even if you have more crimes, you can't produce a second one.

Even if you have less responsibility, no one can escape from this family tree.

But why is it that the Kujo family of Kujo Takayuki is on the verge of collapse, while Hiiragi Shinsuke has never appeared at all?
Because what directly led to Kujo Takayuki's downfall was not that he made a mistake, but that his mistake was caught.

At present, the responsibility that Kujo Takayuki needs to bear is mainly abusing his power for personal gain, which directly led to the failure of the front-line army.

This is a responsibility that everyone knows, and no matter how you look at it, it is really unacceptable that the shogunate's regular army was defeated by the resistance army on Kaijima Island.

Shinsuke Hiiragi was also wrong, but since no one caught his mistake, he was not wrong.

Cooperate with the Fatui, the Fatui won't say anything, and Kujo Takayuki won't say anything either, so Hiiragi Shinsuke will naturally have time to finish things.

Kujo Takayuki is truly the savior of Hiiragi Shinsuke.

"Let's wait for a while. After Kujo Takayuki has paid enough chips for the marriage, and after Hiiragi Shin agrees to Hiiragi Chisato's marriage proposal, we can help push Hiiragi Shinsuke in."

"Having come this far, I have accomplished what I promised the society to do."

"As for Kujo Takayuki, whether I succeed or not, he has lost all his good impressions with the general."

The Kujo family may still have a chance to turn things around, but Kujo Takayuki definitely doesn't.

Jiang Qing knew this, Kamisato Ayato also knew it, and Hiiragi Shinsuke naturally knew it even better.

Therefore, once he has enough bargaining chips, he will definitely agree to it.

"The second young master of the Jiujo family should agree to marry into the family." Jiang Qing said seriously, "Although it is a marriage, I believe that true love is priceless."

"He probably doesn't care if he can marry the girl he loves."

Marrying into the wife's family is the minimum requirement.

Because of the identity issue and Kujo Takayuki's own problems, it is impossible for Shinsuke Hiiragi to agree to Chisato Hiiragi getting married.

If they still want a marriage alliance, Kujo Kamajima will need to make some sacrifices.

I don't think he would mind.

After all, the Kujo family has raised the second young master for so long, and he never hesitated when spending the family's money. He should not mind when it is time to pay for the family.

"Letting a wolf into the house." Ganyu's eyes flickered.

Kujo Takayuki certainly knew that he was letting a wolf into the house.

After the marriage, Hiiragi Shinsuke can try to draw on the Kujo family's heritage and expand his own family.

Kujo Takayuki knew it, but he couldn't refuse.

When the family is unable to protect itself, the most important thing is to be able to preserve the position of Tianling Fengxing. All other interests must be given up.

"It is at this time that we send Hiiragi Shinsuke in and make this Kanjo Bugyo become a former Kanjo Bugyo." Jiang Qing said slowly, "In this way, the person who let the wolf into the house will change."

"I also heard that the Hiiragi family has a group of very loyal subordinates who want their young lady to be happy."

"With the former Kanjo Bugyo in prison, Miss Hiiragi's engagement will also be delayed, right? This won't do. These loyal servants are extremely anxious and must make sure their young lady finds true love."

"So for this reason, even if the marriage becomes a marriage, they will definitely support it, right? Miss Hiiragi will be very happy to marry into her lover's family, right?"

Jiang Qing looked a little sad. "Although I will be hated by Miss Hiiragi, it doesn't matter. In order to help a loving couple get married, I don't mind bearing anyone's hatred."

"Kujo Takayuki will definitely agree." Gan Yu tilted her head, "Ling Hua told me about this person, he can't refuse."

"Of course he couldn't refuse."

Jiang Qing looked calm.

The Hiiragi family invited the wolf into the house, and the Kujo family retaliated against the Hiiragi family. Why should he refuse?

Later, Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke fell together. It can be seen what kind of traitors were around Kujo Kamajui and Hiiragi Chisato.

But things are different now.

The cooperation was only based on the condition that Hiiragi Shinsuke was still the Kanjo Bugyo.

He was imprisoned and fell from power, the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family married into the Kujo family, and the new Kanjo Bugyo might not even have the surname Hiiragi. Who would care about his thoughts?

There is no need to say the rest, Kamisato Ayato must know what to do.

Whether it is to win over these loyal servants of the Hiiragi family, or at the critical moment, to pass on the news that Kujo Takayuki swallowed up the Hiiragi family's property to Hiiragi Chisato, or to guide Hiiragi Chisato and Kujo Takayuki to fight... Jiang Qing believes in Kamisato Ayato's talent.

None of the three followers had poor abilities, it’s just that most of the time, they just lacked opportunities.

And this time, Jiang Qing was the one who created the opportunity.

The plan was implemented halfway at the latest, or maybe Kujo Takayuki would have reacted as soon as Hiiragi Shinsuke entered.

But he will eat it.

The fat meat at his fingertips, the opportunity to change the fate of the Kujo family, is right here. He knows it is the hunter's bait, but he was once the best hunter of Inazuma.

A proud hunter will not refuse a provocation from another hunter.

The opportunity has come. If Kamisato Ayato cannot win, then he can only continue to wait. When the usefulness of Kujo Takayuki ends, Jiang Qing can fight for a higher position.

At that time, Jiang Qing will be responsible for cleaning up the mess and sending Kujo Takayuki in to accompany Hiiragi Shinsuke.

But then again, if you can't win even with such a good chance, there's nothing you can do about it and leave the victory to someone else.

Food is the original sin.

There are two variables here, one of which is Chisato Hiiragi.

If true love is invincible, for the sake of her engagement with Kujo Kamajima, Chisato Hiiragi doesn't care about everything from getting married to marrying in, nor does she care about the Hiiragi family's property.

Then there's no way.

If this were really the case, Jiang Qing and Kamisato Aya would have to sigh at the greatness and selflessness of love.

Kujo Kamajima has no influence because his father is still alive and he does not have the power to make the decision.

Another factor is...
"Are you so sure that you can deal with Hiiragi Shinsuke?"

Compared with Liyue, the Three Envoys are just Seven Stars.

Jiang Qing swore with confidence, as if it was very easy to deal with a Seven Star.

Jiang Qing pointed to the sky.

Interestingly, in a theocratic society, Ganyu's fear and respect for theocracy is actually far less than Jiang Qing's.

She was used to the gentle Morax.

During the old man's reign, he insisted on the rule of man in Liyue Harbor. Unless someone made an outrageous mistake, any mistakes would be handed over to the Seven Stars and Eight Gates to deal with.

He is responsible for steering the ship, providing direction, but never directly interfering with the operation of the ship.

People belong to their own people.

Ganyu has lived in Liyue for too long, and Morax has become too gentle after giving up his weapons.

But Jiang Qing is very clear about the nature of theocracy, or any kind of authoritarian society.

The thoughts of a single person override everything else.

The country revolves around the mind of the gods, and this is Inazuma.

"The general is watching me." Jiang Qing said nonchalantly, "I will report the evidence of Shinsuke Hiiragi's illegal and disorderly behavior over the years."

"In today's Inazuma, Hiiragi Shinsuke's value is to maintain Inazuma's stability."

"But I would like to ask him to make room for me and give Coral Palace Xinhai a chance."

Anyway, the situation in Inazuma is very chaotic right now, so the best opportunity for a power transition is now.

Of course, Jiang Qing didn't just ask for the position of Kanding Fengxing, the general had to give it to him.

That's why he was in a hurry to take the Coral Palace Heart Sea over.

This situation is very suitable for Coral Palace Xinhai to perform. If she makes contributions, the general will know whether she is suitable for this position.

The good thing about pragmatism is that if you do a good job, then just go ahead and do it.

"Where is the evidence?" Ganyu asked curiously.

"Just ask the Fatui," Jiang Qing said, "They must have it. Besides, if they don't have it, can't they forge it? The general won't look at it carefully anyway."

Gan Yu was speechless.

This person... said that the general was listening while he was talking about forging evidence.

Jiang Qing really didn't think there was anything wrong.

It would be a lie to say that General Raiden didn't know about the problems between Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke.

We know that if we don't deal with it, the only thing we lack is a reason to take action, and we haven't found someone to replace them.

The biggest influence on the Sanbong Action was that these three people were in high positions of power and influence many ordinary people in Inazuma.

A high position and power is never an excuse for a general, but He needs the Three Guardians to handle things.

He himself understands the concept of value very well.

In the scope of handling tasks, He does not care as long as the benefits of the Three Practices are smaller than the losses that drive them.

Kujo Takayuki's behavior seemed extremely outrageous to anyone, but the general didn't care.

He can use interests to drive the other party, and the other party will naturally be driven by other interests.

As long as the value of Kujo Takayuki exceeds the loss he causes, he can still be used.

Normally, the general would rather use them.

Because it is also very stable and there will not be major changes.

But this does not mean that they are completely irreplaceable.

The shrine magistrate had fallen for two generations in a row, and the general only wanted to deprive the Kamizato family of this honor, but he did not think that the Kamizato family must not be touched.

This is also a good opportunity.

What is lacking is not the evidence, but the general's determination to act.

"I'm just offering a suggestion." Jiang Qing said nonchalantly, "If the general is willing to accept it, things will go smoothly."

What if the God of Thunder rejects your proposal?
Ganyu didn't ask out loud.

This is not a core issue.

Jiang Qing made gaining the general's trust his top priority. Even if the general did not support this plan, he would continue to implement the rest of the plan and win the general's approval.

With a high level of trust, these two people can still be cleaned up.
