"Without food to eat and clothing to keep warm, human lives are worthless. If everyone can be fed and clothed, human lives will be respected!" Hong Yi said, "Nowadays, those aristocratic families only need a bowl of rice to make many commoners sell themselves. If the commoners can eat their fill and wear warm clothes, those aristocratic families won't be able to do anything. When the Jade Emperor Rice spreads, it will give the people of the world dignity. This is something that we must affirm. This is also the foundation for us to govern the world and establish our Dao. We must let the people of the world have dignity. "
"This is the foundation." Yang Qian nodded.
"However." Hong Yi changed the topic, "Jade Emperor Rice is spread all over the world. It is indeed a supreme spiritual medicine that can increase one's strength. Compared to ginseng, deer antler, ganoderma and bird's nest, it is a hundred times more nutritious. Furthermore, the quality is light. I used Future Master Xi to calculate for a long time and came to this conclusion. If Jade Emperor Rice is grown for three years, anyone in the Vast Thousand Domains will have the strength, agility, intelligence and skills of a Xiantian expert. If they cultivate the martial way, they can become a Grandmaster in five years … and the most typical example is that the population can increase by two or three times in three years! Thankfully, the Vast Thousand Domains is vast, billions of miles is not even enough to describe it. It can accommodate at least hundreds of billions of people. However, as the territory grows, the population increases and becomes stronger, it will be difficult to manage. "
When Hong Yi heard Yang Qian say that the Jade Emperor Rice had spread all over the world and brought about a disaster, he deeply agreed.
Once Jade Emperor Rice appeared, the world would no longer be hungry. However, a series of problems would also appear. No matter how benevolent the government was, there would be disadvantages when it was implemented. This was the two sides of Yin and Yang, an unshakable truth.
"So it's like this … it's even above my expectations …" Yang Qian frowned deeply, "When a person has power, they will have ambition. This is an undying truth. The greater the power, the greater the ambition. After all, not everyone is a gentleman. Teaching needs to be done slowly. However, if this is the case, the management of the country will have to go through a lot of trouble. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I won't be able to manage it all. "
"It doesn't matter. With the future ruler, Xi, there won't be any mistakes in the governance of the country! Moreover, it's well-organized. It's more useful than a hundred cabinets. " Hong Yi smiled, "Back then, when Yang Pan cultivated the Future Lord, it was also because he wanted to rely on him to handle the complicated affairs of the government, freeing up time for me to cultivate. Now, we naturally have to make good use of it. Furthermore, the Future Lord Xi does not have the slightest bit of favoritism. He is truly selfless and heartless.
If the Jade Emperor Rice spread throughout the world and everyone had enough food and clothing, as well as power, then the matters of a nation would become truly complicated. This was because such a thing had never happened since ancient times. Even Pan Huang had not been able to accomplish such a thing even though he wanted to.
With the increase of the country's affairs, the expansion of the population, and the expansion of the territory, even the wisest emperor couldn't take care of everything. And in a huge empire, a slight move on one part would affect the whole. If a single link went wrong, the entire empire would be affected.
The Jade Emperor could be said to be the emperor with the greatest authority since ancient times, but he was also the most tiring and exhausting emperor since ancient times.
However, the things he couldn't do, the future ruler could. Even if the territory was a thousand times larger and the population was a thousand times larger, the future ruler could still manage all sorts of matters in an orderly manner.
"Future ruler! Not bad, not bad. With him, the pressure on me will be greatly reduced. Right now, I'm about to measure the land of the nation, reformulate the laws of the Da Qian, appoint officials, conduct the imperial examination, appoint the royal family, change the governors, appease the noble families … all these matters are too much for me to handle. Especially with the appearance of the Jade Emperor Rice, the strength of the noble families will be weakened once again! This will probably cause a lot of unease … "As Yang Qian spoke, he didn't address Hong Yi as' emperor '.
This wasn't because his attitude had changed. It was purely natural. It was because Hong Yi had an aura that seemed to control the laws of the world, causing the emperor to only be able to respect and revere him, unable to have any other thoughts.
"That's right … with the appearance of the Jade Emperor Rice, the power of the noble families will be greatly weakened. The noble families of the world have accumulated a lot of power in the past, with many grandmasters and Connate experts. With the appearance of the Jade Emperor Rice, everyone in the world will be a Connate expert, and their advantage will be gone. Conflicts will definitely arise in the near future. As long as we handle these conflicts and restore order, we can establish an immortal and ideal nation of humanity in one fell swoop. When that time comes, let them reproduce … slowly, the people of the world will be the masters. "
Although he was in front of the Jade Emperor, Hong Yi didn't shy away from saying that there was no need for the emperor to rule the world in the future and let the people take care of themselves.
Yang Qian didn't mind, because he had already tasted what it was like to be an emperor. His next goal was not to be an emperor, but to pursue the Yang Spirit Great Dao and the Nirvana Technique.
"Most importantly, the Central World's invasion is imminent. The power of our Vast Thousand Realms must expand in order to resist the Central World's population of ten billion. Under external pressure, the internal conflicts can all be resolved once and for all," Hong Yi said again.
"Yang Pan, Hong Xuanji wants to conquer the world, but he's working for the government and the gentry. How can he be compared to Hong Yi?" After listening to Hong Yi's analysis, Yang Qian sighed. "Right, on the day of the coronation, Madam Zhao and the group of Hong and Zhao family disciples were supposed to be beheaded. It's a pity that the Immortal King appeared, so they were temporarily imprisoned and weren't beheaded. What do you think? Should we still behead them now? However, after I've ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, I just had to behead the Hong family disciples. It's inevitable that some people will talk about you. "" That's true.
Since we've ascended the throne, we must do it openly. So be it. Don't kill the Hong family disciples, Madam Zhao, and the rest … "Hong Yi's expression was natural." You'll naturally be in charge of all this. I'll return to the Pavilion of Book Changes to cultivate. If there's any important government affairs, you can directly connect your mind to the Jade Emperor's Imperial Seal. It can connect to the thoughts of the future master … "
With that, his body flashed and disappeared. After seeing Hong Yi leave, Yang Qian thought for a while and said with a cold smile, "Guards!"
"What's Your Majesty's decree?" The Chief Eunuch of the Six Palaces, Wang Tao, immediately walked over with dozens of eunuch experts and shadow guards.
"Pass down my decree. My ascension to the throne is a joyous event. The whole world should celebrate. Thus, I'll grant amnesty to the world. The Hong and Zhao families have conspired to rebel. Their crimes are unpardonable. They should have been executed, their ancestral graves dug up, and their ancestors' corpses whipped. However, in consideration of the benevolence of the Sage Yi, I'll exempt them from the punishment of executing their entire families and digging up their ancestral graves. All the male members of the Hong and Zhao families will be imprisoned for life to prevent them from insulting the Imperial Court and slandering the Sage. As for the main culprit, Zhao Wan, she'll be ordered to do lowly work to nourish herself. As for the servants and concubines of the Hong family … forget it. She'll be demoted to commoners. Her descendants will not be allowed to become officials for generations to come. "
Yang Qian said word by word. His words were like gold and jade.
"Doing lowly work to nourish herself …" After Wang Tao heard this decree, he hurriedly knelt down. However, he muttered in his heart, "The Emperor is indeed the Emperor. His words are indeed not bad. Demoting Madam Zhao to a prostitute is fine, but he said that doing lowly work to nourish herself … But this way, the ancestral temple, ancestral graves, and the entire family are protected. It's worth it …"
Although Yang Qian had given so many decrees, there were only two main ones. First, the Hong family members, including Hong Xuanji's sons, Hong Zhen, Hong Gui, and Hong Zhao, had their tongues cut off, tattooed, and imprisoned for life. Second, Madam Zhao was demoted to become a prostitute.
Once this decree was issued, within a few days, all the officials in the capital, big and small, were discussing this matter. After all, this was a sensational piece of news.
…
In a luxurious manor, Four Seasons Academy, Bright Moon Academy, Haoran Academy, Liberal Arts Academy, and so on, a few masters of science were discussing.
"This time, the Hong family and the Zhao family have completely collapsed. They're great aristocratic families with hundreds of years of history. They watched as they built their buildings, hosted their guests, and watched as their buildings collapsed. Where did this come from?"
"Hong Yi's revenge this time is really fierce. His brothers all had their tongues cut off, tattooed on their faces, and imprisoned for life. Their lives are worse than death. It's better to just give them a quick slash." A great scholar from Haoran Academy sneered.
"Especially Madam Zhao. She was demoted to a prostitute … She was once the First Lady. A few months ago, even the Empress Dowager didn't have as much power as she did. When Hong Xuanji married a concubine, it was so awe-inspiring. A scarlet carpet was laid out for ten miles. Noble and magnificent, unparalleled in the world … "
"Now, Madam Zhao is in the Fragrance Tower. This Fragrance Tower is rumored to be the property of the Fragrance Sect. The Fragrance Sect's master supported Hong Yi in this mutiny …"
"Now, we can't fight against Hong Yi. Fighting him is like striking a rock with an egg. However, we are acquainted with Brother Xuanji. Now that his wife is in trouble, we should go and 'take a look'." A middle-aged scholar's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Ah, Brother Xuanji is a master of science and a leader of the literary world. Now that his wife is in trouble, it's our duty to go and take a look," said another scholar in a scholarly robe.
…
In the Pavilion of Book Changes, Hong Yi ignored Yang Qian's imperial decree. Instead, he entered the set up array with Yun Xiangxiang, the Dragon Lady, Jixiang Tian, Chan Yinsha, and the Enduring Monk.
This array was called the 'Qian Kun Essence Gathering Array'. It was an Ancient Divine Array. It required the condensation of the Earth Milk Essence and the Heavenly Dew Essence.
The Heavenly Dew Essence could exist endlessly in the Taiji Lightning Pool. Although Hong Yi didn't extract the Earth Milk Essence, he could refine it directly. Now, he could even refine the Ancestral Twin Dragons, let alone the Earth Milk Essence.
In the center of the array was a tail that floated in the air. This tail was only five zhang long. It was missing three zhang of flesh. Hong Yi used the Yuan Qi of the flesh to restore the twelve Desolate Gods, the five Pinnacle Human Immortals, and Godly King Gou Li.
At the same time, Hong Yi used the Essence Qi to refine his physical body and recover from his injuries. He also refined the All Saints Hall and restored many of the Restrictive Techniques.
The flesh of an Immortal God Emperor was not inexhaustible, but the more it was used, the lesser it would be.
Now, Hong Yi was going to use the energy to raise Yun Xiangxiang, Dragoness, Jixiang Tian, and Chan Yinsha to the Creator Realm. At the same time, he was going to raise Enduring Monk to the Pinnacle Human Immortal Realm.
"Qian Kun Essence Gathering, Immortal Flesh, Imperial Jade Seal Aura!"
When Hong Yi saw the five of them sitting in a circle and guarding their own positions, he pointed out with his finger. Immediately, a large amount of the flesh and blood on the tail turned into chaotic qi and descended, forcibly entering the bodies of the five of them. The five experts trembled as they channeled their Qi according to the arts they cultivated.
Seeing that they had accepted the flesh of the Immortal God Emperor, Hong Yi pointed his finger again. The Imperial Jade Seal appeared beside the tail. The seal unleashed a power that was injected into the bodies of the five. The two worked together to nurture two Ancestral Twin Dragons in each of their acupoints! One Beginning and One Progenitor, forming a Taiji that circulated continuously.
