Collapse, surrender to me!

The one who spoke was Master Xueyue Zhuyang, his voice was deep and powerful.

"Mortals can only live for a hundred years, but we immortals live forever. The Liyue in our eyes is different from the Liyue in their eyes. It may be a good thing that the emperor faked his death and escaped."

"The Emperor explained the reason to us in a dream the other day. We can just follow his instructions."

Liuyunjiefeng concluded.

"But how are the people of Liyue going to deal with the leakage of Osel's power?"

She couldn't figure out the problem.

The word "devil" is associated with the word "god".

This completely explains the difference between us and humans.

Even if the leaked power is small, it is not something that the Liyue Seven Stars can solve.

Lishui Dieshan: "If it can't be solved, the Emperor will come to the world and return to the realm of the Rock God to let mortals know the Emperor's power."

"Makes sense."

……

this day.

Keqing was doing her preparation work as usual.

Liyue has been peaceful and calm recently.

Even the departure of the Rock King only gave people on the streets more topics to talk about.

This life must be lived.

When the Emperor was around, he had to work and eat every day.

The same thing happens when the Emperor is gone.

Unless the successor to the emperor who convenes the two sessions every year and formulates the development plan is a tyrant.

But this is also a difficult thing.

The Liyue Seven Stars are restrained by the General Affairs Department and cannot do anything excessive.

After all, after so many years, Liyue already has a system that can operate on its own. Without the Emperor's planning, it will not collapse like a headless fly all of a sudden.

But mortals may not have the vision of the Emperor.

Either a wise man is overly cautious and is bound to make mistakes, or he may be selfish and seek some benefits for his own power.

This year, the Emperor had not had time to release the plan, but it had already been sent.

Some of these things fell into Keqing's hands.

But Keqing didn't do much.

She just sorted out the Emperor's plans from previous years and easily deduced what should be done this year.

Just like growing crops.

Sow, water, harvest, follow the steps.

There is no problem to be found.

She only needs to harvest the seeds that the Emperor had sown in his plan a few years ago.

There's not even much to change.

This made Keqing very uncomfortable.

Very uncomfortable.

All the efforts suddenly became meaningless.

"Are you okay?" Grayshu found that Keqing's face was changing from bright to dark, which felt strange.

"It's okay...it's okay."

Keqing changed her words halfway through her speech.

She seemed to have lost all her strength and lay down on the table, with her purple twin ponytails hanging down, just like her current mood.

decadent.

"Now I... feel like I'm living in that man's shadow."

"Is that the man?"

Gray pointed the tip of her sword at Keqing's Emperor figurine that was displayed on the wall.

"..." Keqing didn't say anything, but silence was the best answer.

"..."

Grayshu was also silent for a moment.

She didn't say anything because she felt that there was something wrong with Keqing's mental state.

The time probably started after the Emperor started.

Just like a child who is obsessed with proving to his father that he is right.

Made a lot of preparations.

As a result, on the day of the showdown, my father suddenly passed away.

Although Keqing later discovered that the Emperor was probably not dead, taking over the Emperor's affairs made her even more devastated.

Because everything the Emperor does seems to be right.

The reforms and various measures she wanted were almost completely unimplemented.

Finally studied it for a long time.

The result of the research turned out to be that following the path previously planned by the Emperor would be the best option for Liyue.

This result undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to Keqing.

It is hard to say whether she can be as tough as before when she questions the Emperor again.

Grayshu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

How could a visible hand that has lived for thousands of years, witnessed all periods of Liyue, and regulates everything once a year make mistakes?

Chapter 60 of the Tao Te Ching says: "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. Governing the world with the Tao, the ghosts will not be powerful."

It mainly talks about governing by doing nothing.

Zhongli does the same thing. Although he makes plans every year, there won’t be any major changes.

But if you connect the years together, you will find that the current policies are almost completely different from those hundreds of years ago, and some are even opposite.

Any rash changes will inevitably cause trouble.

But the Emperor's gradual push made people feel nothing.

As the saying goes-

The people forget about governance, like fish forget about water.

This is a level of governance that emperors of all dynasties have pursued.

Even Keqing hadn't noticed it before, and instead had a feeling that the Emperor was dispensable.

Liyue can do it even without the Emperor's guidance.

So she questioned the Emperor.

But now, she has taken over the emperor's planning and has also seen his abilities.

That was beyond her reach.

It even made her feel suffocated.

The Emperor can use hundreds or even thousands of years to completely reverse an event in the opposite direction.

She simply couldn't do this.

No emperor could do that.

An emperor with ambition does not have such a long life, and even if he did, he might not be able to persist for thousands of years.

And Keqing herself.

There is no time and no calculation.

Even the Yuheng of this generation and the Yuheng of the next generation can only continue to implement the path arranged by the Emperor.

Because the Emperor has paved the way.

Keqing can naturally be a little rebellious, not following the path paved by the Emperor, but being more radical.

But this is not responsible for Liyue, nor is it what she should do as one of the Seven Stars.

Keqing is holding the sword, as if the cold sword blade can make her more sober, but from an outsider's perspective, she seems to be in a state similar to Pochi-chan.

"Senior...what should I do?"

Chapter 258: Ying who never forgets his original intention

Keqing asked her what to do?

Grace didn't know what to do.

But she could understand Keqing's current situation.

This is a bit of a dead end.

When someone is depressed, no matter how you try to comfort him, it will be useless.

Some people even practice Dihua.

The same is true for Keqing.

She is no longer Keqing now.

If I have to describe it, it would be that you are the busiest in the circus, the craziest in Gotham City, the one standing guard in front of McDonald's, and the joker in the poker deck.

That’s right, Keqing now feels like a clown.

There is a saying that goes, question XX, understand XX, and become XX.

As a result, Keqing has questioned and understood, but she cannot become it.

Don't have that ability.

I'm stuck here, it's very embarrassing.

"If you ask me, what are you comparing with him..."

Gray Xiu said helplessly.

Old people often say, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice.

Other old people don’t know.

But maybe what the Emperor said is true.

How could Keqing be so unreasonable to compare herself with a demon god who has lived for more than 6,000 years? Even if it was a pig, Keqing who has lived for 6,000 years may not be able to beat him.

Not to mention that the demon god Morax is not only powerful but also smart.

Governing Liyue for thousands of years...

How many years was Keqing born?

I can't even begin to catch up with your understanding of Liyue.

This is really like using one's own shortcomings to challenge the Emperor's strengths.

"Besides, why should we go against him? Since the Emperor is not wrong, why don't we just follow him?"

Gray Xiu said quietly.

"If I really let you take over everything directly, you will be so busy that problems will arise."

"Let's follow the Emperor's plan for now. He won't issue oracles now anyway. Once things stabilize and you have experience, there won't be any major problems when you implement your own ideas. Isn't that great?"
