Sheng Fu

Chapter 1210 Hearing
The next day.

When I woke up early in the morning, fine snow was falling in Lingdu, and a sense of desolation danced with the snow.

In the imperial study room.

Bei Hanfei sat on the throne, holding her child. Opposite her were two small tables, on which piles of official documents lay. Huo Mu and Qing Yue sat upright in their chairs, methodically handling the accumulated official duties.

Bei Hanfei was not completely ignorant about politics; it's just that she did not directly participate in politics after returning to the Spirit Clan.

However, in Bei Hanfei's memory, the internal affairs of the Spirit Clan were generally stable.

Although the bloodline theory caused much dissatisfaction, the ancient tradition of the Spirit Race is that those with strong bloodline power go to the battlefield first, which can be regarded as a way to quell many of the discussions.

As a result, the interests of the powerful and wealthy have become increasingly secure.

However, the royal family was powerful, and no matter how strong the foundation of the nobles within the Spirit Clan was, they could not sway the monarch's will.

Looking at the little one fast asleep in her arms, Bei Hanfei hoped that the little one could grow up quickly, but at the same time, she didn't want the little one to grow up.

Perhaps Gu Yong looked like this when he was a child.

Regent Yuwen Jun would not directly participate in specific political affairs; he would merely stabilize the situation and create more favorable conditions for Bei Hanfei.

Ruling from behind the curtain was the ultimate dream for many women.

But if given a choice, Bei Hanfei would actually prefer to raise the child with Gu Yong, wandering the world, living a carefree and comfortable life.

But sometimes fate is a huge mishap.

What we desire cannot be obtained, while what we do not want comes in abundance; truly, we have no control over our own destiny.

Bei Hanfei glanced up casually and noticed that the number of folded documents on the two small tables opposite her had decreased significantly, and Huo Mu and Qing Yue did not show any signs of fatigue.

The two reviewed the memorials so quickly that one might even doubt whether they had clearly seen the contents.

Seeing this, Bei Hanfei also perked up.

Soon after, the mountain of memorials had been reviewed and approved.

"The demeanor of a Lingxiao Soul Technique practitioner is indeed extraordinary." Bei Hanfei smiled knowingly at the two of them with gentle eyes.

Qingyue and Huo Mu exchanged a glance. Huo Mu stood up first and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is too kind. These are just routine government affairs, nothing particularly noteworthy."

"Although I don't know the level of human officials, the level of spirit officials is certainly not low."

"All matters, big and small, are well-organized, and the direction of interests is clearly visible to the naked eye."

"The late emperor ruled the country for many years, which made the Ling people extremely well-established. There were no serious problems such as land annexation and unfair distribution of power, and there were no people living in extreme poverty."

"The interests of different social classes are generally harmonious, and there are not many areas that need to be adjusted or modified."

"Of course, all of this is due to the profound strength of the royal family and the great talent and strategy of the late emperor."

From the very beginning, Huo Mu and Qing Yue realized that what they had taken over was definitely not a mess, but rather a very good one.

While the theory of bloodline has been criticized by the lower classes of the Spirit Race for many years, those with great strength are the first to face difficult and complicated problems.

Ling and Wang have controlled the Spirit Network for many years and are very familiar with all kinds of cultivation sects and aristocratic families of the Spirit Clan. The interests of all parties have been reasonably balanced.

Bei Hanfei frowned slightly and asked softly, "In your opinion, are there any changes to the internal affairs? I remember that the late emperor had intentionally or unintentionally promoted new policies on a small scale before."

"What guidance do you two have regarding extending the new policy to the Eldar world?"

Those who practice soul magic are naturally perceptive and insightful, so their talent is beyond doubt.

Most of the members of the Demon Clan's cabinet were also soul mage practitioners. Huo Mu, however, looked troubled, unsure how to express himself.

Seeing the other person's troubled expression, Bei Hanfei subconsciously encouraged them softly, "Please speak freely."

Homu then took a breath and slowly said, "The foundation of the new policy is freedom and equality, which can bless all beings. The Lord's implementation of the new policy actually has multiple purposes."

"The first level is naturally to secure more living space for the lower-level creatures, so that students at the bottom, or other creatures, have a greater chance of going further."

"The second layer is used to win over people's hearts after conquering cities and capturing strongholds."

"The third level is to show one's magnanimity to the whole world, and to have the ambition to embrace all rivers."

Having said that, Homu didn't know how to continue.

Although the Lord is the Regent of the Spirit Clan, and the Empress Dowager in front of him is the Lord's teacher's wife, there are some things that cannot be said too bluntly.

But Bei Hanfei is no ordinary person.

With a gentle smile, she said, "Yuwen Jun's implementation of the new policies stems from his desire to influence the world with virtue, but at the same time, he also intends to conquer the world."

"While the Eldrish race is not exactly in dire straits, it cannot withstand the ravages of a major battle."

"No one can say for sure what the situation will be like in the future."

"Implementing new policies within the Spirit Clan's territory will inevitably enhance Yuwen Jun's prestige, and may even strengthen his own fortune invisibly, thus truly making him a powerful being no less than a monarch."

"And the Demon Realm has been completely turned into Yuwen Jun's harem."

"He is not a monarch, but he has the power of one."

"Judging from the signs, the Spirit Clan has largely lost the possibility of dominating the world, but Yuwen Jun still has a sliver of a chance."

Therefore, the Spirit Clan is not concerned about providing timely assistance to Yuwen Jun.

"Furthermore, all the prosperity and splendor belong to the powerful and wealthy, not to the people."

"If it can truly bring blessings to all living beings, then so be it if I become merely a supporting character?"

In fact, most ordinary people don't care who is in that high position; what they care about most is their daily meals and clothes for all four seasons.

This truth is simply ignored by many powerful and influential people.

Huo Mu and Qing Yue were deeply moved and also felt the Empress Dowager's great vision.

Bei Hanfei asked in a deep voice, "Are there any difficulties in implementing the new policies within the Spirit Clan's territory?"

Qingyue stepped forward, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why the human race was able to implement the new policies is because of the significant casualties caused by the power struggle at the top, as well as the will of the people."

"The Spirit Race needs to avoid internal strife at present. Furthermore, those of noble bloodlines are well-versed in knowledge, while those of low bloodlines are inevitably unenlightened. The Spirit Race's lower class is different from the human race's lower class."

"Among the lower classes of humanity, there are indeed many talented and outstanding individuals, but most of them are frustrated and unable to realize their potential."

"There aren't many talented individuals at the lower levels of the Spirit Race, so when it comes to implementing new policies, we have to be mindful of the attitudes of the powerful and influential."

"This matter can only be handled slowly and gradually; it must not be taken lightly."

There is no significant conflict between the elites and the lower classes of the Elven race, which is the biggest challenge in implementing the new policies.

Huo Mu then added, "In fact, governing the country according to the current system will not cause any chaos. The choice is up to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager."

Bei Hanfei looked down at the child in her arms and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Then let's slowly implement the new policies, so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve something great."

"In fact, the biggest advantage of the new policy is that it can place truly talented people in the most powerful positions."
