"I can't imagine the logic of Emperor Lingyang." Qiluo said, "We assume that he is a person stronger than the Eternal King... This super strong man can theoretically build a star civilization, but he ended up on our planet Established a primitive kingdom; he could have completely solved the Fanding world, but he chose to seal the Fanding world; then he abandoned his immortal body, but created the Qin family, a long-lived race; he split his own The permanent method left behind the impermanent method, which is full of hidden dangers; he planned to pass down the unity method, but he made it into a piece of scratched glass, so it took two thousand years for later generations to barely restore it..."
"His actions and purposes are contradictory. He is like a schizophrenic old creator who wants people to be strong and smart but also wants people to be blind and ignorant." Rei Shigure concluded.
"I'm wondering, is Emperor Lingyang also worried about the Eternal King?" Qin Qianbai said, "If the technology is not passed down, people will not be able to survive the dragon disaster. If the complete technology is passed down, there may be new ones. The eternal king was born, so he made the decision not to do anything."
"If Emperor Lingyang himself is hostile to the Eternal King and the Eternal Law, then all his actions will have a reasonable explanation." Alandia agreed, "He had no choice but to do so."
It is reasonable to think about contradictory choices like this. A person who is hostile to the eternal king is naturally unwilling to become the eternal king, so Emperor Lingyang gave up his immortality and the power to rule forever. Thinking of this, Qin Qianbai felt depressed in his heart. This country seemed to have been filled with an atmosphere of oppression since its founding. Behind the heroic ambition of slaying the dragon and establishing the country was the compromise and last resort of the strongest man.
Even the strongest man in the world can't do whatever he wants, so what about everyone else?
"Suddenly I feel like I can understand Yan Qi..." she whispered.
"Where are we now? There are still many things you don't know." Rei Shigure curled his lips, "The great detective is doing archeology these days, and I am not idle either, big sister. There is a saying in the pillow that is right, the emperor of this country It’s all a bunch of contradictory people.”
Qiluo reacted quickly: "Are you investigating Emperor Chongxiao?"
"Of course we have to investigate. I can't fully believe Xuanzhi-kun's secretive attitude, and Akoko may not know all the inside information. Information is always the most credible if you find it yourself." Rei Shigure took out a piece of paper. , "I found an interesting entry point. Do you remember the child Gongsun Ce met 13 years ago?"
"A traveler in the Cave Heaven Paradise? I remember that he was proven to be harmless and has nothing to do with the out-of-order factor." Qiluo said.
"It is true that he has not had any contact with the knowledge about the otherworld since then. He is now an ordinary person, living a happy life with an iron rice bowl within the system." Rei Shigure said, "It's just that this ordinary person is a bit extraordinary. Where he was, the Ritual Ceremony Hall still monitors him comprehensively, and they asked An Yushi to monitor this person for a full 13 years."
"Why?" This time it was Qin Qianbai's turn to be surprised. Every pedestrian in the ritual ceremony hall is an elite selected from thousands of people, and An Yushi selected from among the pedestrians is a higher level, often responsible for the official affairs of first-tier cities or even a province. It is a waste of resources to let An Yushi monitor an ordinary person. Sending them to Cangdu for field work will make the important officials of the imperial capital feel distressed.
"I also find it strange. Logically speaking, wouldn't it be enough to send a few police officers to this matter?" Rei Shigure sneered, "So I secretly checked the internal documents of the Patrol Department of the Ritual Festival Hall, focusing on their investigation of the time-travelers. Only then did I realize that Gongsun Ce had misunderstood it at that time. There was no rating of 'harmless' in the Xunzhou Department. The real meaning of the all-white talisman paper is that 'the out-of-order factor temporarily loses its threat', even the lowest level Harmless time-travelers are still out-of-order factors in their eyes!"
"This hypersensitivity rating is really imperial." Qiluo said, "But it's okay. After all, it's a time traveler, so it's natural to pay more attention..."
"No, this way of handling it is the big problem." Rei Shigure's tone became colder, "The Eternal Light Empire has more than 2 billion citizens. In the largest country in the world, there is an instability from the past. Factor'. This unstable factor has no ability, no backing, and does not even count as the current 'citizens'. For the sake of the interests of the whole country, how to deal with him is the best choice for stability?"
She formed a knife with her five fingers and swiped down mercilessly: "Kill! Without giving the out-of-order factors any chance, the most efficient choice is to deal with these unaccompanied time-travelers!
Don't say that I think too darkly. The fact that Zero Island is so bad doesn't mean that other countries are as clean as they are. I bet you that the empire has many more killers than the ninjas on Zero Island. But the emperor gave up on the optimal solution. Not only did he keep the time-travelers, he also transferred the most talented ones to the inner sect of the Imperial Academy for training. What do you think he is doing? "
Qin Qianbai had a ridiculous guess: "Your Majesty is deliberately cultivating... people who endanger order?"
"The contradictory choice has appeared again. Instead, the ruler of order fully funded the rebels." Shigure Rei spread his hands, "I really can't understand what Emperor Chongxiao is thinking. He is such a iron-blooded ruler... No Should I make this mistake?"
Everyone knows that Emperor Chongxiao is one of the most wise emperors in history. He actively promoted reforms internally and led the once bloated empire to rise again, and his flexible external skills allowed the empire to survive ten years of secret wars. However, behind his far-sighted side, there is also the shadow of ruthlessness. Emperor Chongxiao's control over the court can almost be described as strict. In the past fifteen years, 50% of the top officials in the court have been purged, and everyone who remains is free. Danger. He is an undoubted radical in diplomacy. The strong smell of gunpowder during the Secret War is not unrelated to the empire's tough attitude. Such an emperor has nothing to do with being soft-hearted and soft-hearted. It is hard to imagine that he would care about the lives of just one or two people.
"Don't think about things you don't understand." Qin Qianbai stood up, "Why don't you ask Your Highness if you can come down faster."
When the words fell, she had already floated out of the window. Qiluo rubbed her hands with envy: "The final state is so good~ If you want to go to the palace, go to the palace and ask the prince. Some guys who are called free people actually stay at home all day long. Still waiting..."
"Big sister is too busy exercising her second power and has no time to care about trivial matters." Rei Shigure pouted. She has been busy writing her own fairy tale these days. After all, no matter how much she decrypts, it cannot be transformed into actual combat effectiveness. Under the current situation, multiple major spells are more reliable than any shocking secret.
Alandia, who had been silent since the beginning, was holding the brim of her deerstalker hat. Shigurei stretched out his paw to poke her face: "Why is it so rare for the great detective to be quiet? It's not like you."
"I'm thinking about your discovery." She said, "If even the most ordinary time travelers are considered to be out-of-order factors, will it be a pure accident for them to step into the Paradise of Cave Heaven?"
Rei Shigure's expression changed: "Hey, this is a bit exaggerated..."
"What?" Qiluo didn't follow the train of thought.
"There is a well-known comment in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Cao Cao is 'a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times'. This sentence means that the achievements a person can achieve are inseparable from the era in which they live. A man like Cao Cao is just right. In troubled times, he showed off his skills and became a hero." Alandia said, "But what if Cao Cao was born in a peaceful era? If he had never encountered a war in his life, Cao Cao would still be the famous A hero?"
"You mean..." Qiluo slowly opened her mouth, "Vatican Destiny will throw those who may threaten the order... into another era?"
"Mr. Liu has repeatedly emphasized that the core of the Vatican world is stability, and the best way to ensure stability is to take precautions before they happen." Alandia said, "There should be no pure accidents in a stable world. The accidents in the past may have been Some kind of 'arrangement'. Shigure Rei just said that the safest solution is to kill the out-of-order factors, but from the perspective of a superior, there is another option..."
Qiluo is still thinking about the previous example. If people came to another era, would they still be who they are today? If Rei Shigure and Arlandia were born before the Secret War, they would probably become ordinary women without the opportunity to come into contact with the Immortal Law; without superpowers, they would have been unable to participate in the entertainment industry for the rest of their lives, while Gongsun Ce might have become a A mediocre bureaucracy...
As she thought about it, Qiluo suddenly felt a chill creeping up her spine. She realized that these absurd imaginations had been playing out in this land for two thousand years. Yan Qi, Qin Ming, Liu Zhongwu and even Situ Yi might have had another life. . The lives they should have been abandoned by a higher will, and the empire chose a new path for them.
"Should we tell Gongsun Ce these things?" Qiluo was a little uneasy, "He said before that there is an 'information control mechanism' in Shenjing City. I investigated it and felt that it was also a pretty bad thing... I think these things cannot be hidden. Hold him..."
"No need." Alandia shook her head, "I used the real world to analyze the virtual history. After reading the analysis results, I think Mr. Liu's strategy is correct. The less Ce knows now, the better."
"You really plan to use this virtual history, right? What exactly do you want him to do?" Rei Shigure frowned. She hated this feeling. These people who were doing good for Gongsun Ce were planning to do something without telling him, just like how they induced him to believe in her in February.
Alandia thought for a moment and said something that none of them understood.
"Delay time," she said. "The longer Ce stays in the inner sect of Taixue, the greater our chances of winning."
·
"Tell the Minister of Rites not to let me see such ignorant words as 'outsiders interfering in politics'. If there are any fools who can't see the situation clearly, let them leave the capital with dignity."
"According to the order." Hong Ruhai, a scholar with a fluttering white beard, moved his pen as fast as flying.
"Liu Qing has full authority to decide the affairs of the Ceremony Hall. There is no need to ask me." Chi Zijing threw away another memorial, "There is no need to show me the diplomatic matters. Under the current situation, there is no such thing as diplomacy. The whole world has the same hatred and the same enemy, so we can't get through this. Everyone will die together."
Seeing that the memorials on the table were all empty, Academician Hong took out another document from his sleeve and said softly: "Your Highness, you have previously taken care of this year's lantern festival. The mayor and several bachelors of history have done this together." A plan. I also boldly added a few strokes."
"Okay, this is the most important thing!" Chi Zijing's eyes lit up, "Master Hong is interested, let me see..."
Chi Zijing took the plan, read it attentively for half a minute, and said with a smile: "Historical achievements, imperial ambitions... Master Hong's suggestions were written on the ideas. It can be seen that this historical and cultural promotion is the focus of the activity. According to In my opinion, it can be made more lively. We might as well make all the images of emperors from past dynasties into lanterns and place them in various locations throughout the city to ensure that every citizen who raises his head during the lantern festival can see a historical emperor. emperor."
This idea is so unorthodox as to be a bit ridiculous. The teachers who used to teach the prince would have shouted words like "It's totally unbecoming" and "Your Highness is not allowed to do this". Academician Hong pondered for a moment, but did not deny it, but asked cautiously: "Under the lanterns of the past emperors, should I add an inscription as an introduction?"
"Come on, just copy it as it is written in the history books."
"I understand." Academician Hong packed up the documents and excused himself. He wanted to quickly turn the oral instructions full of "damn", "pig and dog" and "I don't know what to say" into a brilliant imperial edict.
Chi Zijing relaxed slightly. He took out a notebook from the desk drawer and flipped through a few pages. He turned around and saw Qin Qianbai sitting at the window of the imperial study room.
"I wonder what Qin Qianbai you want to ask me again?" Chi Zijing waved his hand, "I will tell you everything I know."
"Your Highness, I have two questions." Qin Qianbai said, "Are the students from the inner sect of the Imperial Academy all out-of-order factors?"
"They are all the most dangerous out-of-order factors." Chi Zijing answered simply, "Dad had to use his own authority to protect them, otherwise Brahma Dingjie would riot because of their existence and mobilize Zhenren Jing to obliterate them."
Qin Qianbai nodded and asked, "What is your Majesty thinking about?"
Chi Zijing moved his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "How can I know what dad is thinking? I only know that with his character, his choices must be based on the 'overall situation'. But the 'overall situation' in dad's eyes 'But it may not be the same as what we see... Even if I am the prince, I can't understand the emperor's vision."
"Well, thank you." Qin Qianbai did not embarrass him, "Your Highness, you are still holding activities after returning to Shenjing."
"It's good to hold an event. If the people above are worried about losing their hair, we can't let the people below worry about it too."
Chi Zijing stood up and looked at the brightly decorated Shenjing City in the distance, thoughtfully.
"When I calculated, Gongsun Ce should have already participated in the lantern festival over there." He said, "I remember that you still called Yan Qi Uncle Yan at that time. When did you start changing the title?"
"Yan Qi is not always the same as usual." Qin Qianbai said, "Sometimes his temperament will change... and make people feel scared."
