People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Moreover, Wei Yanwu allowed a [Year Beast Agent] to exist within his city.

Before Miss Nian received Chongyue's call and went to Shelag, she was staying in Lungmen.

As everyone knows, each agent of the Year Beast should have someone from the Year Platform monitoring them.

However, the officials in charge of the Dragon Gate were nowhere to be seen.

What could be the reason for this? It's quite intriguing: (The rest of the text appears to be a series of seemingly unrelated characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or incomplete sentence.)

It can only be said that Wei Yanwu truly lived up to the praise he received from many. He was a highly capable person, and this ability was not limited to economics. At least, it's hard to imagine that anyone else, with the disadvantageous position of a deposed crown prince, could have woven such a vast network spanning from the imperial court to the frontier, from bureaucrats to the treacherous beasts, over several decades!

If given a few more decades, he might very well be able to achieve what he envisioned on the night of the Yanwu Palace Coup: a "comeback."

Unfortunately, the dragon interrupted him.

The liquidation came slowly, but unfortunately it came a little too quickly.

Wei Yanwu wasn't in a hurry. He had no evidence to prove that he hadn't done these things. After all, if it came down to it, Zhenlong would definitely be able to find out.

But he had countless witnesses vouching for him.

"Your Majesty, the Court of Judicial Review conducts annual inspections, the Court of Judicial Review conducts quarterly assessments, and the Imperial Household Department carries out numerous operations. I have always cooperated to the best of my ability. Such accusations are completely unfounded."

"Your Majesty and I had a very pleasant conversation at Longmen. Is there any misunderstanding?"

Wei Yanwu glanced indifferently at the people around him.

Everyone kept it a secret.

At this moment, it's impossible to stand up and speak up for Wei Yanwu.

But remaining silent is also a form of attitude; at least they didn't deny it or directly distance themselves from it.

After all, this relationship cannot be completely severed. Just as mentioned before, the Dali Temple, the Censorate, the Imperial Censorate, the Three Dukes, the regional officials, and a whole host of others have been covering for Wei Yanwu for quite some time now.

Some might say, "Wasn't this something Your Majesty tacitly approved before?"

This is wrong.

The emperor's tacit approval and the emperor's permission are two different things.

I'll give you a riddle; figure it out yourself. You can decide for yourself whether that's what I mean. If things go well, it's definitely my credit; if things go wrong, then you'll naturally take the blame.

When did Zhenlong ever actually say something like, "Wei Yanwu's affairs are none of our business. Let him do whatever he wants. Even if he rebels, we can ignore him"?

no?

When the true dragon doesn't concern himself with this matter, it naturally won't be weighed, and it won't weigh four ounces.

But now that the real dragon is in charge, nothing can stop it!

If this were to be investigated, it would involve a huge number of people, and most of the officials in the court would be implicated!

They remained silent at this moment, but all their eyes were fixed on the true dragon, hoping to make the dragon understand through this invisible pressure.

Stop investigating! If you really investigate, the problem will become huge!

Although you didn't say it, you tacitly approved of everything we did. Now that you're pursuing this matter, you're only damaging your own reputation! It's tyrannical behavior!

Let's give everyone some dignity, and let's give ourselves some dignity too!

The true dragon laughed:

"You mean, the Court of Judicial Review, the Censorate, the Imperial Household Department, and perhaps even the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and other government offices, may all be in trouble?"

Wei Yanwu was stunned. When did I say that?

The people in the imperial court were also stunned.

Are you serious?

No, I was just kidding! Stop it!

"Of course I don't believe such a thing. My ministers are all pillars of the state, loyal and devoted to the country. How could they all do such a deceitful thing behind my back?"

"I also believe that it's impossible for all the reports from the past years to have been problematic every year. I think Minister Wei was indeed wronged. It was Vice Minister Lin who made the arbitrary decision."

Everyone was relieved.

Brother, if you breathe any louder when you speak, we old folks will be scared to death right here!

"but"

Still not satisfied?!

Some people were already on the verge of collapse, clutching their chests and furrowing their brows.

But the true dragon clearly had no intention of stopping:

"However, I think that a person like Lin Shaoqing, with his family's profound learning and his conscientiousness, has always been fair and just. It is unlikely that what he said was unfounded."

"There may indeed be some parasites in the imperial court."

"Well then, Governor Wei, since the root of this matter lies with you, why don't you take charge of investigating any potential problems within the various departments?"

"I believe in your abilities and I'm confident you can handle this matter well. This way, you can prove your innocence to the court and the world, and also do your part for the court and the nation. After it's done, I will definitely have Lin Shaoqing personally apologize to you. What do you think?"

Wei Yanwu jolted, instinctively wanting to wave his hand to decline, but the next second, he saw the true dragon slowly sigh, glancing at everyone with a slightly unfriendly expression: 4

"As for whether there was any injustice in the Grand Tutor's treason case, I think everyone has seen it, right?"

"Governor Wei is of pure and good character and is capable of undertaking great responsibilities. Faced with the imperial court's appointment, even though he knew that this task would offend many people, he still volunteered and recommended himself!"

"If such a person wasn't being misled, how could they do something so irresponsible?"

He gazed intently at Wei Yanwu, a cold, emotionless smile playing on his lips: [Wu]

"You agree, don't you, Governor Wei?"

Wei Yanwu's lips twitched.

This is putting him on a pedestal!

According to Zhenlong's meaning, if he doesn't agree, then the Grand Tutor's treason case will have a lot to discuss!

He didn't care, after all, he wasn't the one who made the scandalous plans back then; it was this real dragon who was now spouting official jargon.

Wei Yanwu glanced at the court officials around him.

The deathly silence was finally broken, and everyone began to speak up. They praised the true emperor for his wisdom and discernment in recognizing talent, and commended Wei Yanwu for his dedication and unparalleled loyalty and courage!

Clearly, they have made their choices and weighed their options.

Investigating embezzlement, corruption, collusion, and nepotism—this might just mean death.

But the Grand Tutor's treason case

It is highly unlikely that a true dragon would commit suicide.

Then they would all die.

Chapter 965 The Great Yan New Year's Squad Assembles!

"That's the true dragon's plan, Great God Yeragand, what do you think?"

The divine stone hovered in mid-air, emitting a faint blue light. Ernst stopped speaking and waited for Yeragand's response.

On the other side of the sacred stone, Ya'er's expression can be described in a few simple words.

With beady eyes, sitting blankly, smiling, looking completely bewildered.

He reviewed Ernst's words and came to a conclusion—Ernst was asking him if he was willing to fight.

He can't fight!

Jeragand was not long old. Before Ernst reformed Sherag and opened its doors, Jeragand was completely unaware that it was a "Beast" and that it had its own kind outside!

Compared to His kin, His childhood was remarkably peaceful and serene. He didn't have to protect civilization or fight against unpredictable demons, nor did the humans of Ulala wield swords and spears to accomplish any great feat of slaying gods. The people of Shelag regarded Him as a god, and He protected them. The only thing that might require His intervention was resolving natural disasters occurring near Shelag.

He really has no combat experience. The only few times he has taken action so far have been nothing short of "bullying the weak with the strong." What kind of skills does a giant beast need to fight against mortals? It's like a pure Trisolaran fighting primitives—they just crush them!

Now, the plan Ernst described was to have Him join in dealing with a well-known level three behemoth!

After hesitating for a long time, the neighbor replied in a very human-like way:

"What does Ernst think?"

Ernst paused for a moment.

He didn't intend to criticize the idea of ​​converting Jeragand into an artificial being; he completely understood Jeragand's feelings.

As a giant beast that grew up almost alongside humans, Yeragand's way of thinking is almost identical to that of humans in many ways.

When Sir Ernst was dragged aboard the Glory by Duke Kester to observe the battlefield, he also experienced confusion, wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

It's normal for people to feel overwhelmed when trying things in completely unfamiliar territory.

Therefore, Ernst did not insist, but simply said:

“You don’t need to feel guilty. Actually, I don’t completely agree with this either. You are the guardian of Shelag, and you don’t need to take any risks for the sake of Yan Kingdom.”

Unlike him, Uyragand, the god of the high god, played a role on this land that destined him to travel around, solving one problem after another, and maintaining order and stability in Terra.

A. But Jeragand is only the guardian deity of Sherag, not the guardian deity of the Summit of Nations.

Rationally speaking, it would be irresponsible for the Sherag people to risk mutual destruction by becoming a mercenary, and it would not be in the national interest of Sherag.

Therefore, if Jeragund had shown even the slightest reluctance, Ernst would not have made Him make the trip.

“You can also relay these words of mine to the [Sami].”

N. Ernst frankly stated,

"Yan has offered a very high reward in exchange for your help in this battle against the Year Beast. However, this is not mandatory. If you are interested, you are welcome to give it a try."

He didn't forget his promise to Zhenlong and put in a few words of pleading on his behalf:

"For example, regarding [Sami], the Yan Kingdom promised that if [Sami] is willing to lend a helping hand, the Yan Kingdom is willing to provide the highest level of assistance and development to Sami over the next hundred years, and will propose at the World Summit to prohibit the Ursus people from invading Sami."

"Yan's capabilities in this area are beyond doubt, and I am personally certain that this is not Yan's bottom line. If Your Excellency Sami has such needs, I can negotiate on your behalf to secure higher compensation."

Shelag, an unnamed mountain peak, where a giant beast sits amidst a flowing banquet.

Ya'er turned around and glanced at Sami, who was sitting by the stone table with a cloth wrapped around his head.

The Father of Ancestral Spirits, who was learning to play mahjong with Gao Wen, Nian, and [Chronology], had turned his head away at some point, and a flame called ** seemed to be burning in his cold eyes!

"Yelagand".

He called out softly, and the tone of his voice sent shivers down the spines of the lion, the clock, and a beast agent standing nearby.

Years unconsciously distanced themselves from Him. Gawain silently took the [Time Sequence] he had sensed with his mind off the card table, hung it on his body, and walked to the side.

Sami slowly stood up, walked to Ya'er's side, bent down, lowered his head, and said to the small divine stone:

"I agreed."

This was the first time Ernst had heard Sami's voice inside the divine stone, and he was momentarily stunned. After realizing what was happening, he quickly said:

"Does Lord Sami have any requests? I can convey them to you."

He paused, worried that Sami's understanding might differ from that of ordinary people, and then added a reminder.

"Ideally, it should be related to politics and economics. As you know, I don't know much about other things."

"No need."

Sami's voice was exceptionally carefree, as if she didn't care at all.

"I just want to fight [Sui], I don't care about anything else."

"Or rather, this is what I'm pursuing right now—the strongest in modern times VS the strongest in history. Don't you want to know the result?"

Ah this

Does Ernst want to know the result?

To be honest, Ernst really didn't want to know.

He's not some bloodthirsty spectator; all this fighting and killing is really boring.

But some things on Terra can't be resolved without force. Take the Year Beast, for example. Do you think it will sit down and have tea with you after it revives?

Even if He could, it would most likely be after He was certain He couldn't win, or after the fight was already over.

Without strength, few people will reason with you.

But Ernst still felt that some degree was necessary.
