Original God, but the real world

Chapter 81 80-Who is the boss?

Ye Lan, who was guarding the door, raised his hand.

She shaded her eyes with her palms, blocking out the glow of the setting sun.

"I hope he won't die in there."

Ye Lan whispered softly.

Although Ningguang had no pursuit of power, Ye Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with her sitting in this position and wanting to kill Jiang Qing.

"Thank you very much for your concern."

Jiang Qing, who had just pushed the door open and left, paused for a moment, then returned to normal.

"I am still alive and well, but I don't know what the future will be like."

Ningguang’s thoughts aren’t too hard to guess.

Just do it with confidence. If you do it well, I will share the credit. If you do it badly, it will be your fault.

Of course she couldn't get Jiang Qing for free.

In this incident, Ningguang wants to give Jiang Qing some help.

"You were able to walk out safely, that's great." Ye Lan patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder, "I thought you would be carried out by someone."

"almost."

Jiang Qing was vague, "Although I was not carried out, my personal freedom was also restricted."

"Tianquanxing wants me to confess to you everything I have done that violates Liyue's laws, and then notify Yanfei to decide how I should die."

Ye Lan laughed out loud.

"Then what do you want to confess?" She blinked. "First of all, you must be honest. I guess you don't want to be tortured."

"Of course." Jiang Qing nodded repeatedly, "But I heard that there is usually a honey trap during the interrogation."

He was quite curious, "In your place, how many levels do you have to go to before you can encounter this kind of torture?"

"Don't you know the Hall Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall? There is a lot of hope for you in the future, right?" Ye Lan said casually, "When you enter the tomb, you will be able to see this Hall Master Hu."

"It is said that she can see souls. I hope you can resist the temptation of her beauty at that time."

"Haa..." Jiang Qing's expression straightened up, "Beauty is like a wolf or a tiger, it can destroy a person's will. How could I ever think of such a thing?"

"I read ancient books, which are full of profound principles."

"Let's go, let's go confess my mistake first, and then we have to go home and read in the evening."

He rambled on and on, "Hu Tao has been urging me to study these past two days. I can't keep standing up the teacher."

"You confess your mistakes to me, and then you want to go home tonight?"

Ye Lan asked back.

"Didn't they say that those who confess will be given leniency?" Jiang Qing looked confused. "I have confessed, so shouldn't I be given leniency?"

······
There are advantages and disadvantages to having a king.

There is simply no environment like this in Liyue for a king to emerge.

It took Morax thousands of years to finalize the situation of Seven Stars ruling the world, and this is what the people of Liyue support today.

They don't really have a choice.

Anyway, Morax provided such a model back then, and everyone has followed this template until today, and has long been accustomed to having seven stars hanging on their heads.

It is very difficult to suddenly break the Seven Stars' rule in Liyue Harbor and create a king out of thin air.

The Seven Stars and the King are two modes of governance.

The former is to divide the power equally, while the latter - the king should have the power of decision most of the time, unless he and the royal family are just mascots.

Since she knew it was difficult, why would Ningguang still be tempted?

Because she is greedy.

Human desires are rarely satisfied.

She was a famous merchant in Liyue, but she never stopped trying to seize Mora.

Some people wonder why they are so rich, but still keep working for Mora.

"Tens of thousands of dollars? That's great."

"But what's wrong with earning one more Mora?"

Once you get the power of seven stars, you will want more.

She had never had this idea before because there was no such precedent in Liyue.

But since Jiang Qing brought it up, she would consider whether this matter was feasible.

Of course there is.

Because the monarchy and the seven-star system of decentralization are exactly opposite governance models.

Taking Tianquan Star as an example, if Ningguang is not in harmony with the previous generation of Tianquan Star, what she must do after arriving on Tianquan Star is to clean up the traces left by the previous generation of Tianquan Star.

Including the people that the previous generation of Tianquanxing used to employ, his political ideas, his policy blueprint... These are not all problematic. Of course, the people are talented and capable, and the ideas and blueprint may not necessarily be problematic.

In fact, the blueprint may have been half built.

Even so, what needs to be abandoned must be abandoned.

At this stage, all cleaning work is not done for the sake of correctness, but simply for cleaning.

If the immortal chooses to go against the Seven Stars, then the policy of the Seven Stars governing the world cannot continue to be used.

"What could the Seven Stars be dissatisfied with the Immortal?"

Jiang Qing said so.

"They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and do not comment on any of your ideas. One of the values ​​of their existence is to serve as weapons to maintain your rule."

"Why do you hate such a group of lives?"

Just because they live forever, because they think you are not good enough?

Is this critical?
They won't do anything to you because of this opinion, so just treat it as their own words and don't take it seriously.

"So this conflict must have been initiated by the Immortals. They must find a reason to rebuke the Seven Stars."

Only immortals have the need to cause conflicts. Qixing didn't care what immortals thought before, so naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble.

"Since the immortals are looking for problems, they must find something wrong with the Seven Stars... or simply put, the existence of the Seven Stars itself is wrong."

Jiang Qing looked at Hu Tao and said, "They want to come up with a new set of concepts and blueprints that can be used, and then erase the correctness of the Seven Stars' rule, and then make people accustomed to the rule of the immortals."

The philosophy of this rule is unclear, and no one knows what to do.

But what is certain is that it exists to prove that the Seven Star Rule is wrong.

Rarely does one thing exist to prove another thing wrong, but in this field, that's the common state of affairs.

It's a little hard to prove yourself right, so I should prove you wrong.

So I was right.

Ningguang sensed this opportunity, so she was tempted.

When it comes to stance, right or wrong, justice or not are all trivial matters.

People may not necessarily do the right or just thing, but most of the time they will make decisions that are in their own interest.

"The rise of the Seven Stars is the future left by the Emperor. If the immortals want to gain the right to rule Liyue in a dignified manner, they must prove that the pattern of the Seven Stars standing side by side is wrong."

"Even the existence of the Seven Stars is wrong."

"They need to come up with a plan that does not require the existence of the Seven Stars and can still govern this country. What the plan requires is still to be discussed, but the plan definitely does not require the Seven Stars."

Using the same model, your value cannot be demonstrated at all.

Jiang Qing said, "Only by replacing the original way with their own way and achieving great success can they prove their correctness to the greatest extent."

"In the absence of the Seven Stars, they succeeded."

"So the result proves that the Seven Stars' rule over Liyue was wrong."

Only when the Seven Stars are wrong can it be shown that the immortals are right.

There is no win-win situation on this issue.

The immortal’s previous reason was that the Seven Stars might not be able to handle Liyue’s government affairs well.

This suspicion is also the reason why Qixing had to choose confrontation.

This group of immortals who know nothing, come up and say, "Whether I can do a good job is another matter, but I don't think you can do it, so let me watch you..." If it weren't for being completely unable to defeat them, the future Ningguang wouldn't have to make requests one after another.

Even if Qixing is cunning and has a good temper, he can't stand being told no by surprise.

Hu Tao nodded.

Jiang Qing's explanation was fine, and her fists loosened slightly.

"What you said makes sense." The girl smiled brightly, "But this doesn't affect my beating you up, right?"

Jiang Qing held his head with his hands and crouched on the spot.

"Hurry up." He said simply, "I'm afraid of the pain."

Walnut is not just talking.

She only approved two days of leave for Jiang Qing.

This guy took advantage of her relationship with Xiangling the day before and said nonsense to Xiangling, almost scaring her friends.

The next day, Ganyu came to the door.

At this time he still refused to admit his mistake and continued to talk nonsense in front of Ganyu.

So on the third day, when Hu Tao was waiting for Jiang Qing, he was "invited" to the Qun Yu Pavilion by Tian Quan Xing's subordinates.

"You are my boss, and I am your employee, right?" Hu Tao patted her cheek weakly after beating him up. "With you and Zhongli, I am going to shorten my life."

She suddenly realized something, "Hey, you are not coveting our Wangsheng Hall's foundation, thinking of angering me to death in advance, and then you can take over Wangsheng Hall?"

Walnut was listless.

She and Youla had the same idea. If she had known earlier, she would not have approached Jiang Qing so easily.

Wasn't this person very well behaved at first? Why did he suddenly do such a thing?

"There's no need to be too nervous."

Jiang Qing consoled him, "Look, we have to deal with the Emperor's remains anyway. What can the Seven Stars do to you, Hall Master?"

"hehe."

Walnut rolled her eyes. "I'll say it again, that's [Immortal Ancestor Transmutation], it has a formal name, you should at least respect the work of the Wangsheng Hall."

Zhongli, who was sitting on the other side, had a puzzled look on his face.

Gods do not possess omniscience and omnipotence. They possess a considerable level of martial arts prowess, but this level of martial arts prowess is not special, at least not special enough at the level of gods.

But in terms of external manifestation, they are closer to a kind of human beings with greater power and more special character.

The wisdom and cognition brought by a long time are enough for them to deal with most situations, but this definitely does not include hearing the conversation between Ningguang and Jiang Qing while strolling in Liyue Harbor.

Unless He deliberately listens, it is indeed possible for Him to achieve this kind of [super hearing] with a demon-level body.

But the old man obviously wouldn't do such a thing.

Zhongli just thought that Jiang Qing was very interesting.

It's just fun for now.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Hu Tao squatted in front of Jiang Qing, hugging her knees with her hands. "Since you have provoked Qixing like this, you should have a plan for the next step, right?"

"It's very simple." Jiang Qing certainly had a plan, "Let's win over the dignitaries in Liyue Harbor and see if we can get them to accept the rule of the immortals."

This job is not very difficult to do.

These people are all smart. Once they know the situation, they will weigh what to do.

Jiang Qing’s ability level is already sufficient.

That is to say, when facing opponents of the level of immortals or demons, this thing will only go crazy occasionally.

For people like Qin or Ningguang who have strong will and certain strength, it can be effective most of the time.

It’s just that it’s impossible to make a final decision and make the other party believe whatever you say.

But being able to have an impact is enough.

Going further down the list, as long as the words are reasonable, interfering with the other person's thoughts is not a problem.

"Between the immortals and the Seven Stars, ordinary people are indifferent, while the Seven Stars are very clear-cut. We want to fight for this part in the middle."

Ordinary people are unlikely to have any influence unless they can band together.

The key point is that the current situation in Liyue is not so dangerous that there is a hero who can guide the masses. Whether it is the rule of the Seven Stars or the Immortals, they all have to work hard for Liyue.

Promoting immortals at this time is definitely not suitable for the people of Liyue, and it is probably not just for Liyue.

Anyone who easily makes a conclusion about a group of immortals with long lives and whose love for Liyue has been confirmed by history, and anyone who easily defines the answer to something that has not happened, is either stupid or bad.

"Are you really going to go this far..." Kurumi scratched his cheek, "Is there anything wrong with the Seven Stars' rule?"

Zhongli became much more serious.

He was also looking forward to Jiang Qing's answer.

This was his "reward" for doing so many things, just a trivial curiosity from the gods.

"Don't you think I betrayed the people of Liyue?" Jiang Qing asked back.

“How could that be?” Hu Tao spread her hands. “The immortals also belong to Liyue. You can also say that Liyue belongs to the immortals.”

"What does choosing an immortal have to do with betraying Liyue? If it's not betraying Liyue, then how can it be considered betraying the people of Liyue?"

Walnut's attitude is quite casual.

This is a simple question.

Only those who put the immortals and the Liyue people in opposition would think that choosing the immortals is a betrayal of the Liyue people.

"Then there's nothing wrong with me choosing the Immortal."

Jiang Qing couldn't explain.

He could tell Ningguang that, considering what he was about to do, Ningguang was willing to not care about the source of the information.

But he couldn't say it in front of Zhongli, I know the God of Rock is not dead.

The reason why I do this is to achieve some results beyond His expectations, and then gain His favor... That's not going to work.

How can you say such things casually?

"Okay, okay." Hu Tao waved her hand. "Someone will definitely cause trouble for you. You better save your time and don't ask me to send you to the afterlife first."

The girl doesn't care about such things.

Whether Liyue is governed by immortals or by the people of Liyue themselves is irrelevant to Hu Tao.

What she does is a job between life and death. Even if the immortal comes to power, those who are supposed to die will still die.

They can live forever, but others cannot.
