Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

"And how many are there in Liyue?"

There are six in total.

Ke Qing asked incredulously, "Weren't there five?"

Ji Ming glanced at Hu Tao and chuckled, "There's nothing I can do, your man is too much of a womanizer."

Ke Qing was furious: "There won't be any more, right?"

Kitty, you're breathing again.

Ji Ming replied sincerely, "Really, it won't happen again."

"You'd better not, otherwise..."

"What else can we do?"

Otherwise, I'll team up with other women and drain you dry in bed, so you'll never think of pursuing other women again!

Wait, let's exclude Barbara from Mondstadt, Kurumi, Xiangling, and Yun Jin from Liyue, Shen He from the outskirts whose relationship hasn't reached the final stage yet, and the two Inazuma women who are currently being pursued.

Currently, it seems that only she and Gan Yu are capable of fighting. Even if they fight one-on-one, it seems that the sisters are not absolutely confident of defeating the thugs if they fight together.

The Geo Archon represents hardness and eternity...

Ke Qing lowered her gaze, then quickly looked away, unconsciously swallowing.

That's a bit scary, little...big thug.

Anyway, she's a cat princess, so at worst she can send Gan Yu to scout ahead. If they win, everything will be fine; if they lose, she'll have to be careful.

Otherwise, instead of succeeding in exploiting him, he would end up being pinned down on the bed and bullied by Ji Ming.

"Keqing, come here for a moment."

Ke Qing's body trembled, and she asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

Ji Ming looked at him strangely: "I have something to tell you, why are you making such a fuss? Do you think I'm going to eat you?"

Nonsense, if you don't eat it now, will you never eat it later?

Ke Qing moved closer and mumbled, "What do you want to say?"

Ji Ming gazed into the distance at the Li family mansion on Feiyun Slope and said with a grin, "Am I going to make a move on my future father-in-law?"

Keqing: "...?"

"Don't worry, it's just about getting your Li family back to the basics of business, taking back your ill-gotten gains, and breaking your dishonest hands."

"……That's it?"

"...Otherwise, what did you think I was going to do?"

Ke Qing blinked her big eyes, clearly not joking: "I thought you were going to execute your entire family."

Touching Ke Qing's forehead, Ji Ming chuckled, "Wouldn't that mean I'd be executed too?"

"Will I still be able to pursue a career in politics in the future?"

Ji Ming grinned, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and said, "The women of the inner palace must not interfere in politics."

"You think I'll punch you, huh?!"

"Okay, okay, I'll find you something to do. Don't get me wrong, this isn't about getting special treatment. Your abilities are there for all to see, no one will say anything."

As for the Civil Engineering Sister, she should just focus on managing the architecture and construction of Liyue. She doesn't need to worry about complicated politics. Given the Cat Princess's intolerant nature, Liyue will definitely not have any shoddy construction projects.

Very good, it is happily decided.

Chapter 208 We Still Have to Kill (Total 4000 words)

Each chrysanthemum, representing the respect and remembrance of the people of Liyue, was piled up to the height of a small mountain and placed quietly in front of Morax's temporary memorial vehicle.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Liyue citizens gathered here, there were small craft workshop owners, shop owners, workers and producers, students who had taken time off work, and the Thousand Rock Army responsible for maintaining order.

What should have been the busiest street was now eerily silent, the sorrow deafening.

Wendy stood there for a long time, then asked softly, "Old friend, how are you feeling right now?"

Zhongli said without a smile, "According to general theory, it's a bit hard to part with."

"Aren't you still alive?"

“But I will distance myself from them and no longer lead them forward. In the future, my young friends will also let go, and they will enter a true era of rule by man.”

Ji Ming stood in front of the two, listening to their soft conversation, and said, "There's no need to be sad. The late emperor has become an eternal idol, living in the hearts of every generation of Liyue people."

Yes, it lives on in the hearts of every generation of Liyue people.

Not only the people of Liyue, but also archaeologists or historians from other countries, when they mention Morax, they will surely marvel at the era of Morax. Morax has achieved eternity in the hearts of all Teyvats.

Morax is dead, but Zhongli is still alive.

Over the course of those decades, he traveled throughout Liyue and even the entire Watt continent under the name Zhongli.

Zhong Li tilted his head slightly. Ji Ming had just mentioned the word "statue," which reminded him of something.

"Young friend, I've heard that some people want to build statues and temples for us."

Ji Ming keenly noticed a word and asked, "Us?"

Wendy grinned again: "Yeah, yeah, we're going to build you statues and temples, aren't you happy?"

What's there to be happy about? They're asking for statues and temples to be erected without doing anything. It sounds absurd.

If we're talking about erecting statues and temples, he would be happy to accept such actions from his descendants if Ji Ming were to pass away, just like the Bronze Sparrow Temple, which later generations used to commemorate the achievements of the Bronze Sparrow.

But he is still alive, and he hasn't done anything praiseworthy. He's not a living fossil of Liyue like Zhongli. He can't understand why they would build a statue and temple for him.

Because he is the young emperor?

"It's a bit inappropriate, but I can mention it later."

Zhongli didn't respond to this, but just observed the tearful Funina not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

He wasn't close to the water god and didn't know why the water god was sad.

That's a bit outrageous. Could it be a case of the rabbit mourning the fox's death?

Zhongli twitched his lips and looked at Mavica again. This fire goddess was almost the same age as Funina, but she seemed much more composed than Funina. At least she could still stand in a horse stance steadily.

To be able to do a horse stance in this kind of situation is even more outrageous.

Seeing that the time was right, Ji Ming clapped his hands, stepped onto the temporary platform, with two solemn funeral wreaths behind him on the left and right. He himself was also wrapped in a white headscarf and dressed in white clothes.

All eyes turned to him; people on the street, on the second and even third floors, and on the overpass all looked at the young emperor.

"After discussion, it was decided that the Temple of the Former Emperor would be built on the summit of Mount Aozang, and would be jointly protected by the immortals."

"The late emperor has passed away, and this is a fait accompli. We should move forward despite our grief and not linger in the same place."

"Now, I am the Geo Archon recognized by all of Liyue, and I will inherit the will of Geo Archon Morax and lead all the people of Liyue forward."

"From now on, Liyue will enter the era of the Little Emperor, and there will be rules for the Little Emperor."

Ji Ming looked around and formally announced, "The Seven Stars are being abolished. This is the first decree of the Little Emperor."

Yes, I'm not acting anymore.

The entire place was silent. When the young emperor was still the governor of Guili County, the citizens of Liyue Harbor had heard that the young emperor was known for his boldness in implementing municipal policies in Guili County. He was also the most popular figure in Guili County, and no one was disloyal to him.

At that time, Guili County, in every respect except for lacking independent diplomatic power, was more like an independent city-state existing within Liyue.

The settlements near Guili County, which are the newly established administrative villages, are different from other administrative villages in Liyue. The highest administrative official is not the village chief, and the entire village is managed by a village committee elected by the villagers.

The villagers elect members of the village self-government assembly, and from the village self-government assembly, one or more people are elected as representatives of the Guili County Citizens' Assembly. They can directly find the executive committee members or the Little Emperor at the meeting.

In the eyes of the people of Liyue, this was somewhat contrary to the ancestral laws and customs, but Ji Ming managed to do it anyway. Now he is thinking of abolishing the Seven Stars, and many people have objections.

If the Emperor is gone, the Seven Stars will also be gone. Won't Liyue fall into chaos?

Seeing the doubts and surprise of the people, Ji Ming said calmly, "I will not leave Liyue for a long time to come, so you don't need to worry about order."

"Your Majesty, the Liyue Council is an ancestral institution established thousands of years ago. To change it so abruptly... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Bold! If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable!

Ji Ming did not look at the man, and said calmly, "It is the Seven Stars that are being abolished, not the Council. I am speaking, so please listen quietly and do not say anything more."

Liyue Harbor is different from Guili County. The idea of ​​doing business is deeply rooted in Liyue Harbor, and the clan power is also deeply entrenched.

Guili County was a newly established immigrant city, without the formation of powerful clans or aristocratic families, making it easy for Ji Ming to guide the thoughts of the citizens.

In Liyue Harbor, speaking harshly might be more effective than giving earnest advice, since there are too many conservatives here. He is now the Little Emperor, and he can't just wipe them all out like he did during the gang days.

If someone chooses to kill everyone, they are either a fool or a bad person.

"In addition, the government has been reorganized, and key positions will be temporarily filled by personnel drawn from Guili County. As for Qianyan Army... no adjustments will be made for the time being."

The powerful clans weren't so honest. Even when Morax was renowned, they still didn't notice their underhanded tactics, and land consolidation happened every day.

To break their grip, the government must be reorganized, with key positions directly filled by his confidants. This would effectively curb or even sever the power of these powerful families.

As for why the Sen'iwa Army is not being reorganized, one reason is that its purity can be maintained, and the other is that the Sen'iwa Army is not like the civil service; too drastic a reduction in its ranks could easily destabilize its members.

By proceeding gradually and eventually integrating them into one's own army, the stability of the army can be maintained.
