Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

"What? The sealed-off Li family ancestral home has been renovated? And you even saw the Li family members moving in again!"

In the Prince of Qin's palace, several of the Prince of Qin's staff looked unhappy.

"How could a traitor receive such treatment? Didn't you say that the empress hated Li Changsheng so much that she wanted to kill him? Why are you clearing his name now?"

There are also some high-ranking Gu Masters, Chamber of Commerce members, and even officials in the mansion.

The only ones who remained as still as a mountain were the officials. Some of them even had a thoughtful look in their eyes and began to wonder whether getting too close to the Prince Qin's Palace was a bit of a lowering of their own status.

"Everyone, no one can guarantee what Li Changsheng's fate will be. The empress issued an order to rehabilitate Li Changsheng. It is most likely to eliminate the worries of the young people in the court. She doesn't want them to worry too much about their future and be tied up. There is nothing new about this."

One of the aides, who looked like he had seen a lot of the world, tried to right the situation and calm everyone's wild thoughts.

"Humph, this Li Changsheng's incident happened in the Northern Frontier, and he was chased and intercepted by the Ningyuan Army, and fled from the top of Yushan Mountain to the grassland. This matter is already known to everyone, and the word "traitor" cannot be removed. How come it becomes a common thing when it comes to your mouth!"

The bearded fourth-level Gu Master in military officer uniform stood up and added, "In my opinion, this Li Changsheng must be a spy planted by the empress. Nothing in the northern border escapes the empress's eyes. His vindication now is proof that Li Changsheng is by no means a playboy who has accomplished nothing. He is a lone hero of our Great Yan State!"

What the hell!

Many officials were shocked and suddenly realized something.

They were fortunate enough to have witnessed with their own eyes how arrogant and domineering Li Changsheng was. The fact that he was able to be vindicated meant that Li Changsheng had made a huge contribution!

The empress's act of rehabilitating Li Changsheng sent a signal that Li Changsheng was dead, which meant that the Ningyuan army was lying and passing on false information!

After careful thought, I couldn't help but wonder what position the Ningyuan Army was in and why they wanted to discredit Li Changsheng.

"Li Changsheng is a playboy. There is no need to argue about this matter. Besides, he must be a playboy. Only in this way can it be proved that the empress does not know how to employ people and does not know how to judge people." Aide No. 2 went straight to the point!

He did not give the officials in the courtyard much time to think and made his attitude clear!

"Haha, it turns out that the staff of the Qin Palace are actually a group of villains who are good at sowing discord and pretending to obey but actually disobeying!"

The big man looked righteous, and said with a salutation: "I will pretend that I didn't hear anything and have never been here. Goodbye!"

There was a crash.

Several strong men with military backgrounds stood up at the same time, which made many officials’ eyes twitch!

Everyone was originally invited by the King of Qin, and there was no talk of confronting the Empress, but the news of the Empress's order spreading got into the matter.

What’s even more frightening is that the Qin Palace’s staff simply stopped pretending and wanted to pull the people attending the dinner to express their opinions.

This was really too hasty and too unsystematic, and it was understandable that the powerful leaders left the meeting in anger.

"Who else wants to leave?"

The staff member looked at everyone with sidelong glances, and his palms were actually sweating.

He was afraid that some high-ranking official or Gu Master would dislike him and kill him with a knife, or use him as a meal for the Gu beast.

"Haha, you are just a small staff member, yet you dare to act like this? You really don't take us seriously! But for the sake of King Qin, we can give you a chance today, a chance to explain your plan!"

The man who spoke was wearing a red brocade robe. He was a high-ranking official in the court. Although he had no military power, he had a very high status. His words were very representative, which made others suppress their dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, many staff members breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they were risking their lives to test the attitudes of those who were close to the King of Qin.

After all, ever since the King of Qin visited the residences of various high-ranking officials, he had made it clear to the world that he had strong objections to the Empress's rule and wanted to propose a new set of ways to govern the country.

But the King of Qin naturally could not say something like "I want to rebel against my sister". After all, it was unreasonable and would be a huge hidden danger in the future.

Therefore, the King of Qin's visit still remained within the scope of absorbing different viewpoints, gathering the strengths of all schools of thought, and asking questions humbly.

It was the first time that an aide pointed out the problems with the empress's governance, so of course they were afraid of being hacked to death.

"My Lord traveled around the State of Yan and saw many beautiful sights, but also saw many problems left over from the ancient system, which made the people's lives difficult and they were always worried about the invasion of ferocious beasts."

"In many remote areas, the population has been slowly declining. If this continues, there will be a danger of extinction!"

This set of opening remarks stunned many merchants, great sorcerers, and various elites present.

But officials from all walks of life rolled their eyes, indicating that such alarmist rhetoric was not strong enough and was not a crisis at all.

After all, any of the issues they deal with every day are much more important than this.

"Are you serious? Is our Great Yan Kingdom really in danger of being destroyed? And there is a big problem with the system!" A great Gu Master was so righteous that he immediately stood up to express his concern.

"It's absolutely true! My Lord believes that this matter is related to the royal family's monopoly on the Yuanshi mine, which has curbed the growth rate of high-level Gu Masters and made their freedom highly tied to the dynasty, making it impossible for them to go to various parts of the Great Yan Kingdom to clear out the ferocious beasts."

"Makes sense!"

The high-level Gu Master's eyes lit up. He didn't care about freedom and the dynasty, but was more concerned about King Qin's determination to use his brothers and sisters as a target.

He wanted to divide the Yuanshi mine belonging to the royal family with all the heroes in the world right away. If this is not a wise ruler, who else could be!

“The King of Qin is righteous, but with the current strength of the Great Yan State, I’m afraid it will be difficult to tell everyone about the King of Qin’s vision. Moreover, the Yuanshi are limited and cannot benefit the whole world…”

Some officials said that the pie was not big enough or round enough, and was at best a self-satisfaction of the Qin King’s staff!

The benefits of using the Yuanshi mine to persuade them to go against the empress are not big enough, not to mention that not everyone wants to share the Yuanshi with civilians.

The royal family has been able to occupy the Yuanshi mine for so many years because they have a foundation and support.

"Yes, although the King of Qin has good intentions, it is hard to say whether it can be realized." Most people are clear-headed about their vision.

I feel that if I share it with everyone in the world, they will definitely take a lot out of their own bowls, which is not cost-effective at all.

"Everyone, who is my lord? How could His Royal Highness the King of Qin not consider the reality? So my lord plans to have the clans in various places assist the court in cultivating talents, and the Yuanshi mines in various places will naturally belong to them."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was stunned, and then their faces changed drastically!

One is to work for the empress, the other is to work for yourself. There is no need to choose at all!

And if you think about it, many real-life problems are blind spots.

How do I pay myself? Of course, it's all mine!

Just thinking about being able to monopolize a state, or even several states and using the profits for my own benefit in the future, makes me so happy!

Everyone in the hall showed an interested look, and they all felt that the feudal system was very beneficial to them.

The staff smiled faintly upon seeing this and offered some small favors.

But compared with the King of Qin's new vision of dividing and ruling the Kingdom of Yan, the rest can be completely ignored.
