After arranging the new law, Fang Ning would occasionally read about the progress of the reform from the Imperial Court Bulletin every day. The rest of his time was spent eating, drinking, and having fun.
He believed that the minister would not dare to deceive him, because it was meaningless to deceive him. He had to deceive the heaven and earth first.
Could anyone deceive the stingy Sir System? That was impossible.
As long as the spiritual power the world received did not increase, it meant that the new law had not been implemented.
On this day, as Fang Ning was reading the newspaper, he heard the faint sound of argument coming from outside the window.
"The current Emperor is already of age. Of course, he has to return his authority to the Emperor. This is in accordance with etiquette."
"Your Majesty does not have the experience to deal with trifling matters. Of course, you have to observe the court for several years before you can do anything. Otherwise, there will be great chaos."
"Prime Minister, please come out. We want to ask the Prime Minister when you will return the Emperor's power."
'Damn it, can't you just let Master Fang enjoy his success in peace?'
Fang Ning cursed in his heart and called for Lil Wu.
"Lil Wu, go and see what's happening outside."
The simple and honest Lil Wu bowed and then left with two guards.
Not long after, Fang Ning heard Lil Wu arguing with these people again.
"You're just a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion. What right do you have to talk to us Hanlin Academy students? Hurry up and retreat! "
'How unreasonable,' Fang Ning thought subconsciously. Suddenly, he felt that it was illogical.
At this time, the main power of the imperial court was still the people from the ancient times. Why would they be constrained by these rules and regulations?
There must be a trap!
Fang Ning came to a realization as he listened to the latter part of the story.
"I'll tell you the truth, slave. It's impossible for the Prime Minister to monopolize power and obtain the will of the Heavens. Such a great merit should be rewarded by the Heavens and Earth. Naturally, the Emperor should take the lead …"
So that was how it was. These people wanted to share the credit.
It seemed like they were not stupid. They knew the potential of the new law movement. It could increase the productivity of society by millions of times.
Although they might not have such an intuitive concept, at least they knew that after the implementation of the new law, more people could be fed and more wealth could be created. That was enough.
This was definitely something beneficial to the world. These people had long gone crazy for the sake of preserving their souls.
He had been thinking of all kinds of methods. Now that he had encountered this new method, wouldn't he be like a fly that smelled blood?
However, he still vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this matter. It felt a little too deliberate.
He walked out of the room and climbed up to a high platform in the mansion, looking out of the mansion gates.
However, there was already a long line of people standing outside the mansion's gate. All of them were wearing official robes, either vermillion or purple. They were all noble officials.
To put it bluntly, he was the kind of person who didn't know how to speak and only knew how to spout insults.
Fang Ning understood. In the new law, there was no room for haters. There were only down-to-earth, mundane tasks. How could this be acceptable?
It would be strange if officials like the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Censors did not go crazy.
After watching for a while, a group of soldiers suddenly surrounded him. They were all young soldiers with swords and bows in their hands. They were fully armored and looked majestic. They were overflowing with killing intent.
"Besieging the Prime Minister's residence, spreading lies to deceive the masses, and bewitching a Supremacy. This is a heinous crime. The Prime Minister has ordered to kill without mercy!"
Not only were the Hanlins stunned, but also Fang Ning was stunned.
This method was too violent. As expected of a powerful minister!
In the next moment, arrows were shot. Although those official robes were mighty, Fang Ning did not set the existence of fate in this world, so they could not withstand the cold killing weapons!
Blood flowed like a river, ghosts wailed and wolves howled, wolves ran … all kinds of chaos, and so on.
Fang Ning suddenly understood the real intention of the Prime Minister. In the current era, immortal souls were actually the biggest competitors.
He was already worried that there was no reason to reduce his opponents. Now, his opponent had sent a reason to his door. As long as it was a small mistake, he would use it as a pretext, not to mention the disobedience of besieging the Prime Minister's residence.
The difference in status was not a joke. Etiquette killed people. This was a conclusion long ago.
Lil Wu was scared stiff. If it were not for the servant clothes of the Prime Minister's residence, he was worried that he would not be able to come back.
Fortunately, this kind of accidental injury did not happen. After all, the difference in the clothes of the enemy was a little too big.
With the help of two guards, Lil Wu staggered to the high platform to report to Fang Ning.
"Ma, Master, those Hanlin wanted to seize power, but they were suppressed by the Prime Minister."
"Calm down. I saw it all. Those people died a worthy death. It's unavoidable that they died a happy death," Fang Ning said lightly.
A trace of horror flashed in Lil Wu's eyes, as if it was the first time he met this kind master.
"Yes, yes, then I will take my leave."
"Go."
…
Lil Wu returned to his servant's residence. As an immortal's servant, he was treated better than the Prime Minister's own children.
The Prime Minister had three sons and seven daughters. Everyone who saw him had to respectfully call him "Mr. Wu".
This was the rule set by the Prime Minister.
At first, Lil Wu thought that the Prime Minister was an excellent person. What happened today made him realize that the Prime Minister was not.
He grew up listening to stories about the imperial examinations, so he naturally had a yearning for these noble Hanlin.
Today, he saw that these people were like chickens and ducks. They were mercilessly slaughtered just because they made a few noise.
What a ruthless Prime Minister, what a powerful young master …
A black line suddenly flashed in Lil Wu's eyes. 'As a loyal servant, how can I not advise my master to stop this cruel behavior?
'No, no, I should just listen to my master. As a servant, why do I need my own ideas?
'I can't do this. The glory and wealth I have now are all given to me by my master and the Prime Minister. Whatever my master says, whoever my master likes, I don't need to worry about anything else.'
Countless thoughts clashed and mixed in his mind. In the end, the black line in his eyes seemed to be disappointed and quietly retreated.
Lil Wu came to his senses and immediately felt ashamed.
'What happened to me just now?
'I actually wanted to advise my master and the Prime Minister. Do I have the ability? Do I have the right?
'I just need to be a good servant. If I'm not in a position, I won't meddle in politics.'
…
After a sumptuous meal that night, Fang Ning digested his food in the garden while enjoying the beautiful music. The bloody incident that happened during the day did not affect his mood at all.
"The outside world is like a tiger watching its prey, yet you can still live such a decadent and relaxed life here. Can you face yourself?" Sir System said fiercely.
"Uh," Fang Ning said embarrassedly, "I'm overseeing the overall situation. If I were to really intervene in specific matters, I'd be better off than these natives."
"Still, you can't waste your time like this. Since you're so free now, just leave the matters here to me. You go out and cause trouble in their world." Sir System said righteously.
'Isn't this asking for my life?'
Fang Ning almost vomited blood. He hurriedly said, "The matter here isn't over yet. The bloody suppression incident just happened this morning. I think there must be a trap. Besides, the enemy that sneaked in hasn't been found yet. You're already asking me to go out. Don't be so indecisive and hesitant. You have to finish one thing at a time. "
"Then hurry up and find them. I sensed something just now. It seems that those fellows have come to your side." Sir System only got down to business after beating Fang Ning up.
"Oh, alright then. I'll deal with it right away. You can go do what you need to do." Fang Ning immediately stood up and stopped listening to the music.
"That's more like it." Sir System retreated in satisfaction.
After living together for hundreds of years, it had already understood its host's character like the back of its hand. If it did not get beaten for three days, it would regress. It had to be spurred on from time to time. The good thing about it was that it still had some dignity and was reasonable. It would not be stubborn when it was in the wrong, so it was not considered a fatuous ruler.
Fang Ning returned to the study. After some thought, he found a guard and whispered a few words into his ear. The guard then left to carry out his orders.
At this moment, Lil Wu knocked on the door and entered.
After entering, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He even scolded himself for forgetting his roots.
Fang Ning was speechless after hearing this. This child was really too simple and honest.
No one would know about some of the disrespectful thoughts hidden in his heart if he did not say it out loud. Yet, he still said it out loud. It was obvious that this was a rare person who spoke his mind. It was just that he would feel ashamed when he had bad thoughts in his heart.
"Forget it. Since you know you're wrong, just pay attention in the future. This is a book that cultivates one's mind. Read it more and you won't have such thoughts in the future." Fang Ning took out a book and threw it to him.
"Yes. Thank you for your understanding, Master. Xiao Wu will take his leave."
Looking at his back as he left, Fang Ning suddenly realized something. The means of a saint were extraordinary. They nourished everything silently.
He was trying to destroy his own world from its roots.
