God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

From a rational perspective, Liu Yao could naturally understand the reasons for not giving her a chance, and she could also understand the complexity involved.

But can a woman who has lost her loved ones and harbors an extreme desire for revenge truly remain rational?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Liu Yao herself doesn't believe it, and she also believes that His Majesty won't believe her either.

Whether to prevent him from doing something foolish and irrational, or to plan something more, it is clear that there are still some restrictions placed on her.

But this restriction doesn't seem to be too many. After her constant probing over this period of time, Liu Yao has also figured out a general bottom line, a bottom line that is somewhat difficult to accept.

“As long as it doesn’t concern ordinary people, restrictions are basically nonexistent…” Liu Yao rationally trusted the bottom line she had tested, but emotionally she couldn’t accept it.

Among the common people, aristocratic families, court officials, and members of the royal family, the people that Liu Tong truly cared about were the common people, people he had never paid any attention to before.

Thinking back to those ordinary people, those who were busy working all their lives and would die if they didn't work, it turned out that they were the group of people that Liu Tong cared about.

Although among the knowledge she had learned was the wisdom left by the sages, which told her that the people valued the ruler more than the people.

However, from her own perspective, Liu Yao found it difficult to agree with such an idea, and was more inclined to believe the theories of other scholars, or rather, to believe them.

In response to Liu Yao's lament, a voice echoed in the surrounding air: "Although powerful families, court officials, and imperial relatives wield immense power and can decide the lives of many, they are ultimately only a small minority. The majority of people in this world are the hardworking common people who toil in the fields."

"Since you're here, why not come out and meet me? Someone who can say something like that must be no ordinary person." Liu Yao didn't seem to care much about the rebuttals, and even went along with the question, while also expressing her own opinion.

The vast majority of ordinary people had no opportunity to learn, nor could they possibly acquire this knowledge. Those who did acquire this knowledge either became new officials, expanded into powerful clans, or simply disappeared.

"There's no need for a meeting. Since the princess is already aware of these restrictions, please do not attempt it, otherwise..." The voice that came from the air was devoid of any emotion, but one could still understand the seriousness behind it.

"Then please tell His Majesty that Yao knows!" It was unclear where the speaker was, or whether it was a man or a woman. After a moment of silence, Liu Yao spoke calmly.

Does right and wrong matter?

It doesn't matter. This explanation isn't important. What matters is that it establishes a limitation, a limitation specifically for her.

But faced with this limitation, she had no way, nor the extra power, to solve it.

No matter how much one resents it, faced with this restriction, one can only choose to obey.

The disparity in strength between the two sides left her with no choice but to comply.

...

"That's how it is. Princess Yangting completely failed to grasp the deeper meaning, and she might even hold a grudge against Miss because of this." In front of Liu Tong, Lu Yu explained everything she had seen. "Hold a grudge? That's quite normal. After all, it's understandable that she would be resented for not lending her power..." Liu Tong nodded slightly, not finding anything wrong with Liu Yao's thinking.

But just because Liu Yao's idea is not wrong does not mean that she should lend her power to the other party.

The country has finally settled down and is developing rapidly as a whole, while its external relations are also becoming more stable and orderly.

In this situation, actively providing power to create internal upheavals and turmoil has negative consequences besides restraining national power; there are no benefits whatsoever.

If it is nipped in the bud, the relationship and situation with the royal family will deteriorate, leading to a series of troubles and turmoil.

Therefore, compared to other options, it is better to temporarily stabilize Liu Yao and then use her to stabilize the power of the Shizong sect, reduce the chance of internal turmoil, and give more time for development to proceed smoothly.

Given a little more time, the country will become stronger and more well-organized. When it does, dealing with these internal problems will be less costly and have less impact on the country.

Although doing so might easily lead to cold-hearted remarks and evaluations within the Muromō circle, from a global perspective, the advantages clearly outweigh the disadvantages.

"Ultimately, it's because she lacks the ability to understand the young lady's deeper meaning. She's too deeply involved and can't extricate herself from it." While commenting on Liu Yao, Lu Yu also reflected on herself.

Once upon a time, they were similar types of people, only their goals were different, but their perseverance was the same.

“Even I can’t take care of everyone in the process of development. I have to make choices and decisions. I can only choose what is in the interests of the vast majority of people, or rather, what is in the interests of the vast majority of the people.” Liu Tong shook his head at this.

Satisfying everyone's interests is indeed a very difficult task. Perhaps some people can do it, but Liu Tong, who is well aware of his own abilities, knows very well that he cannot do it.

After all, not everyone in this world is rational; there are always those whose emotions outweigh their reasoning. And when faced with these individuals, it is difficult to achieve anything by simply explaining and advocating based on reason.

Therefore, satisfying the interests of the vast majority of people and implementing and planning things from the perspective of the vast majority of people is Liu Tong's policy on major issues.

As for whether doing so would lead to being deceived or cheated, Liu Tong had no extra worries or fears.

On the one hand, the history they know can serve as a reference to avoid falling into similar traps; on the other hand, the lives of ordinary people are the most authentic evaluation and feedback.

Whether someone is doing well or not, a casual glance or a casual question will give you a general idea.

Compared to other emperors who might be misled about information, Liu Tong not only had a greater quantity of information sources, but they were also more reliable.

The information brought by the internal energy clone is not only military and scenery, but also a lot of humanities and politics.

It's safe to say that trying to transmit information without the help of an internal energy clone is an impossible task for anyone else in the world today. (End of Chapter)
