Original God, but the real world

Chapter 79-78-Justice

Jiang Qing had no way of commenting on matters concerning formal justice and relative justice.

Morax adheres to the most orthodox principle of promoting the capable to the top and demoting the mediocre to the bottom.

The so-called kindness of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations.

The first and second generations pioneered, while the third and fourth generations maintained the status quo. When power was passed to the fifth generation, they had lost their understanding of power.

Whether it is correct that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This is a matter of personal opinion and there is no definitive answer.

But the principle that power and responsibility are often mutual still works.

With great power comes corresponding responsibilities.

However, the legacy left by their ancestors who expanded the territory, by the third and fourth generations, they would take for granted everything they enjoy today.

They naturally have wealth and power, but they don't feel they need to take on the corresponding responsibilities.

These things were handed over to them by the clan. They obtained them because of their surnames, and then their abilities.

With this understanding, they need to be responsible to their family first, and then to the people who are controlled by power.

At this level, it is said that one is governing the people on behalf of the emperor.

He is not responsible to the emperor, but only to his family and clan.

They are not responsible for the people. They are called the people, but in reality they are just livestock.

If people are treated like livestock and driven away, once they can no longer withstand the backlash, they will naturally decline and perish.

Liyue has never encountered this problem because the Seven Stars of all generations have been so smart.

Thirty or fifty years later, after looking at all the things in the world, this is your child, and that is my child.

No matter what the reason is for such things - even if it is really judged by ability, it is not a good look in terms of face.

The Seven Stars cannot let Morax lose face, so they will take the initiative to adjust the ratio.

They know exactly how many of the candidates who need to be admitted each year are scholars from poor families and how many are from prominent families.

On time, according to location, leaving enough space for ordinary people.

To ensure that at every time period, there is always a place for ordinary people among the people in Liyue’s upper echelons who are qualified to speak.

In fact, this may not be fair, because there must be many children of nobles who were eliminated because of the reason that "there are too many children from noble families."

But in form, it is satisfying.

Immortals and ordinary people all felt that Liyue was full of hope.

Here, young people can get promoted without having to work hard to gain experience, and if older people can maintain their talents, they don't need to give up their positions to young people because of their age.

Nobles can ascend to power, and so can ordinary people.

Everyone has a bright future.

Full of vitality and hope.

No matter how the Seven Stars are controlling it behind the scenes, at least it looks pretty good.

They did a good job of giving Morax a face, and even though Morax didn't say anything, they still did it.

This is out of natural fear and respect, so they are willing to do this seemingly useless work.

But immortals can’t do that.

Immortals are not worth fearing, nor are they worth people making concessions to.

A huge armed force group, the first step it takes when it comes to your door is to give in, saying that although we have made concessions, we are still watching you, and you have to do a good job.

Of course, as long as you are doing this for Liyue, we will protect your rule.

fear?

Jiang Qing had no idea how he could generate the emotion called fear.

For Liyue?

Having reached such a position as the Seven Stars and Eight Gates, wouldn’t that person say that he did it for Liyue?

It would be too absurd and ridiculous to think that giving in and retreating to the mountains could deter people's ambitions and desires.

Even an emperor like Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who rose from humble beginnings, was well aware of the little tricks of the people in the world. At the same time, he had killed countless people and could be called a fierce man who could rule the world.

There are still countless high-ranking officials in the world who are willing to engage in corruption and collusion for their own interests.

That was at the beginning of the nation, when the imperial power was at its most glorious moment, and even the raised butcher's knife could not frighten people's hearts.

Can you intimidate them by just saying that you are watching?

From the first step of retreat, the immortal lost all his deterrent power.

They cannot retreat even a single step.

Two thousand years have wiped out all their contributions. To the people of Liyue, immortals are actually quite unfamiliar beings.

People can only think of their existence when they want to seek immortality.

He has neither a reputation that enjoys worldwide renown nor any real means of conquering and punishing people. At the same time, he wants to monitor the world and make people abide by the law, intending to compare with the rule of the gods of the previous generation. The result is just laughable.

·····
The most famous of the Seven Stars in Liyue is Ningguang.

This person's life was like a legend, a self-made girl who walked barefoot along Yaoguang Beach as a child, and reached the highest point of Liyue when she grew up.

She deserves to be a legend.

There are many miracles accompanying Ningguang, the most well-known of which is the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The future decisive weapon of the Qun Yu Ge card is now simply a castle in the air.

This behemoth floats above Liyue Harbor, overlooking it.

Jiang Qing was brought here.

"Haven't we seen each other for a long time?"

The woman with him twirled the dice between her fingertips, a lazy smile on her face.

"Not very long."

Jiang Qing thought for a moment and said, "For you, it must have been a long time."

Given Ye Lan's job, her daily life is somewhat dangerous, so it's not surprising that she feels as if she's in another world.

"Ningguang was very angry yesterday." She said with a smile, "I have never seen her lose her temper like this."

"I should be thankful that I wasn't there, and even more thankful that she came to me the next day." Jiang Qing said sincerely, "Of course, I would be even more thankful if you didn't share this with me."

"She helped you." Ye Lan smiled narrowly, "And this is how you repay her."

"This question is a bit abstract... But you can understand it this way. Her help to me is the icing on the cake, and it's a sweet flower at that."

"I don't think this little favor is enough to make me stop." Jiang Qing thought for a moment and said lightly: "Favors are also valuable."

"When you were about to starve to death, someone gave you a big cake. You can't just give back a piece of cake tomorrow, right?"

Ye Lan nodded in agreement. "That makes sense. I heard that you still let Eula come forward, so even though she gave you face, you didn't accept it at all... This means that you want a lot of things, and you don't think it's necessary to consider Ningguang's little favor."

"Yes." Jiang Qing nodded calmly, "I will repay this favor in other ways."

"If you didn't refuse at that time, it means you accepted the favor."

"What needs to be repaid must be repaid."

Even if the favor is insignificant, you should remember it if you accept it.

"Do you still have a future?" Ye Lan lowered her eyes with a hint of intimidation.

"It was hard to say when she asked me to come yesterday." Jiang Qing spread his hands, "But it's different today."

What can I say? Ganyu really told Qixing what he said.

This half-immortal lady from Yuehai Pavilion keeps her word.

She said she believed in Qixing, and if Jiang Qing's words were not enough to transcend this trust, she would take this matter as a provocation.

So she told Qixing what Jiang Qing said yesterday.

Jiang Qing’s situation is a bit delicate now.

He tends to be an immortal, and his behavior of deviating from the Seven Stars is indeed easy to be despised by others.

Jiang Qing didn't care, but they didn't care about Jiang Qing's attitude either.

If you want to spit on someone, no matter how he reacts, it won't matter.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Jiang Qing, who is eloquent." Ye Lan smiled and watched Jiang Qing leave. "I hope your eloquence can bring you good results."

"Sure." Jiang Qing said, "Will I treat you to a drink later?"

Ye Lan was slightly stunned.

Could it be that this guy has no idea about what he said yesterday?

It really is that easy.

"I don't feel like drinking your wine anymore." Ye Lan shook her head. "You have a plan for every move. What do you want to do with me?"

"It's hard to say." Jiang Qing thought for a moment and said casually, "I told you everything, but you didn't come."

"Not curious at all?"

Ye Lan clapped her hands, "Okay, okay, see you later."

She smiled and said, "I hope it's not me who has to carry you out."

"must."

Jiang Qing high-fived the other person, looking relaxed.

There are many uses for talking to Ganyu, but for Qixing, the most important thing is just one sentence.

"Since the immortals will give in for Liyue, why can't the Seven Stars do the same?"

In the study, someone whispered.

"That is nice."

"It has dug up the foundation of the Seven Stars' resistance in one fell swoop."

The white-haired woman supported her cheek with her left hand and played with the pipe with her right hand.

This is a very beautiful woman, not only in appearance, but also in power and wealth.

Many people like Ningguang.

Talent, wealth and power that have already been realized, plus beauty, this is indeed an impeccable killer card.

Jiang Qing is a half exception.

He is attracted by beauty, but does not care much about wealth and power.

"It is my honor to receive your recognition." Jiang Qing said respectfully, "My father also wanted to join this, but he was not able to attend the banquet on Tianquan Star."

"I am lucky enough to be here today, and my father has finally gotten what he wanted."

Ningguang tapped her fingers on the table.

Jiang Qing raised his head and looked into the eyes of this Tianquan Star.

“You said it very well.” Ningguang confirmed again, “In one sentence, all the resistance of the Seven Stars is defined as greed for power.”

"If I had known earlier, I should have rejected Qin and let you live in exile outside of Liyue for the rest of your life, like a stray dog, living in constant fear."

She was a little angry.

Jiang Qing smiled and thanked him again, "Then I thank you for your tolerance and generosity."

He talked a lot with Ganyu.

But frankly speaking, the latter part is about showing your own value.

What really threatens the Seven Stars is the sentence that Ningguang said.

With just one sentence, he dug out the justice of all the resistance of the Seven Stars, and roughly characterized it as a selfish confrontation behavior that ignored Liyue's comfort "because of greed for power."

Any act of resistance must not lose its justice if it does not want to become a tool of violence.
