Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

On the one hand, it’s because he hasn’t been home for a long time, and on the other hand, it’s because of the change in his identity.

Everyone looked at Xie Yan carefully and found that his appearance had not changed much from before he left, except that his temperament was much sharper, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

While they were in shock, General Raiden spoke to break the silence: "The meeting of the Evaluation Office has begun. There are many topics for this meeting, but the first thing I believe everyone has prepared for... Xie Yan has the power of a god. The shogunate needs to prepare a corresponding god name and title as well as standard treatment for him. The community magistrate is responsible for this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kamisato Ayato immediately stepped out.

The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and military affairs, and it is for this reason that the She-Moral System can compete with the two major systems.

Before Sanbei designed to exterminate the Five Traditions of Raiden, the Shabu-gyo was still in charge of the Inazuma sword-forging industry. Both the Tenryo-gyo and the Kanjo-gyo had to give the Shabu-gyo a lot of face. After all, for a samurai, a sharp sword is his second life.

But later on, the Kamisato family fell into decline, and the only ones left in the official sword-forging industry were Tadashi Sa and some swordsmiths in the army. These were all under the command of Tenryo Bugyo, which greatly weakened the status of Shrine Bugyo, causing the Kamisato family to appear to be in nominal positions and appear powerless in confrontations.

However, in the eyes of the officials of the shogunate, the time for the Kamizato family to usher in a turning point has undoubtedly arrived. If this matter can be done well, the Kamizato family will surely return to its peak.

Kamisato Ayato seemed to understand this as well, and replied respectfully, "I will definitely live up to your trust, General, but regarding the specific format of the God's name, could you give me some suggestions, General?"

The name and title of a god cannot be chosen casually. It must reflect the god's abilities and deeds and then be given a respectful title. Kamisato Ayato did not know what Xie Yan had done specifically in Xumi, so he naturally had to be mentally prepared at this time.

"Xie Yan solved the pollution of the World Tree together with the new Grass God in Xumi, eliminating a great disaster for the continent of Teyvat. Xumi has already announced this to the whole continent, and you will hear the news soon." The general pondered, "After returning to Xumi, he sealed a demon god of winter, and together with the Grass God, he forced the Ice Queen to retreat, showing great power."

The general didn't like to tell lies, so he deliberately distinguished between Nashida and the Great Ci Tree King. However, the officials of the shogunate were obviously not aware of her thoughts, and they were all shocked by Xie Yan's record.

There was a photo of Chibaku Tensei and Susanoo in the Steambird newspaper, but who would have thought that Xie Yan actually sealed their demon god in front of the Queen of Winter. For Inazuma, who had a mortal feud with Winter, this could be celebrated as an anniversary.

Oh, pop the champagne!

If it weren't for the fact that Inazuma was not strong enough and the two countries were too far apart, someone would definitely propose a surprise attack on the port of Dong Kingdom to start a war!

Even someone as calm as Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but look surprised at this moment, but he already had the answer in his mind as to Xie Yan's divine name.

"Eliminate disasters and demonstrate strength... In this case, Lord Xie Yan, what do you think of [Naobi Takemiya no Naruto]?" Kamisato Ayato turned around and asked.

In Inazuma culture, Naobi corresponds to Hujin, symbolizing the elimination of disasters, while Takemi is said to be the god of thunder, the god of swords, and the god of archery, which basically matches Xie Yan's abilities.

The fact that he could come up with such an appropriate title in just a few minutes shows the professionalism of Kamisato Ayato. All the officials in the shogunate were secretly shocked.

However, the specific situation would definitely depend on the reaction of the parties involved, and everyone's attention turned to Xie Yan.

However--

"Good, very good!" General Raiden stood up suddenly, "Let's call it [Naobi Takemiya Sonme]."

Yes, how could it be bad? This perfectly matches his own name, the name of a couple.

Kamisato Ayato, you deserve a reward!

9 Shadow: Watch me take over the general's plate! 7K5 big chapter 18.5/42

The general couldn't explain why she was so happy. In the past, she was only like this when her martial arts skills improved.

But this title is indeed good, and it perfectly corresponds to his abilities and deeds. As for the fact that it does not correspond to the Great Lord of the Gods, Ogosho, but instead corresponds to himself, what's the problem?

The general believes that Ying won’t mind after knowing it!

Apart from anything else, although Ying was trapped in a pure land by herself just now and could only watch herself pretending to be her and talking to Xie Yan, the general clearly felt that Ying didn't seem to object and was planning to let him continue to help.

The reason why the general behaved like this today, not only because of the changes brought about by transcending his own divinity, but mainly because his own program believed that Shadow's work efficiency in this area was too low and it was really not as good as doing it himself.

Anyway, I have shared the government affairs with you for 500 years, so it’s no big deal to share one more responsibility for Xie Yan. Ying, just focus on practicing in the Pure Land.

Feeling that he had more burdens on his shoulders, the general sat back in his seat and asked in a deep voice, "Xie Yan, what do you think?"

"Master Kamisato is knowledgeable, and I am very satisfied with this title." Xie Yan nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

He didn't think too much about it. After all, he was still in the transformation period, and many things in the realm of gods needed to be slowly developed. But now Xumi and Inazuma were rushing to "register an account" for him, so Xie Yan had no choice but to cooperate.

This matter is indeed important. Even though the structure of the seven ruling powers in the mortal world has been stabilized, having one more god means having one more strategic weapon compared to other countries.

In this worldview of divine rule, it is no exaggeration to say that the improvement in national strength it brings will exceed Liyue's right to mint coins, and will produce qualitative changes in all aspects of diplomacy and military affairs.

Of course, this is only limited to the demons in the same camp. Unfortunately, there seems to be some kind of rules in this world. The three gods of Xumi shared the throne in the demon war, but later fell apart. The Ruotuo Dragon King, who once fought side by side with the Rock Emperor, was eventually suppressed and sealed, and the Thunder Sisters were separated by Yin and Yang.

However, the officials of the shogunate were obviously unaware of this. From a mortal's perspective, they really thought that Inazuma was invincible.

Taking advantage of the two gods' pleased expressions, several officials immediately stepped forward to make their reports.

"Thank you, Lord Yan, for your divine power and for enhancing the prestige of our country, Inazuma. However, Xumi is not grateful for your favor, and even dared to announce the title of god before the shogunate. This is undoubtedly a provocation to Inazuma. I suggest that you collect a reward from Xumi."

"As soon as the Winter Solstice envoys arrived at Inazuma, monsters began to appear frequently on the islands. I believe that the Winter Solstice must have been behind this and we should investigate it seriously."

Faced with the more thorny diplomatic field, the shogunate officials at this time thought they had two gods to back them up, so they were very confident and came forward to give advice to express their concern for the country and the people.

Xie Yan knew that these people just wanted to take the opportunity to make themselves familiar to others. After all, when making suggestions normally, one has to consider the forces and consequences of all parties involved. Now, they just have to stand up and brag about it. Even if they are wrong, they can probably say that it was a misjudgment caused by being too excited.

It's just that they are a little too inflated. Xie Yan is worried that they will get out of control soon, so he proposes to form a suicide squad to attack Zhidong and start the second demon war.

The general was unmoved by the flattery of these officials. She said calmly, "Xumeru is indeed a bit too much, but the state of the World Tree is related to the survival of Teyvat. Even Zhidong dare not stop it. Xie Yan saved the World Tree for Inazuma, so there is no need to ask for compensation."

Hanasari stepped forward and walked out of the line, explaining the importance of the World Tree for the general. She knew that these political figures knew nothing about the World Tree at all. If she didn't make it clear at this time, it would be really laughable if something went wrong with the subsequent publicity.

After a brief explanation, Hanasari added, "Also, although Xumi was the first to announce the title of god, Xie Yan is indeed a brother and sister to the new Grass God. Therefore, Xumi and Inazuma signed an alliance contract to help each other in the economic and military fields. I have prepared the relevant documents, and you can check them after the meeting."

What? Really brother and sister?

The official, who was just about to step forward and boast that Lord Xie Yan was a man of great integrity and would never recognize someone as his sister casually, thought to himself that this was a close call.

But then again, wouldn't the general be a generation lower than him? Forget it, the gods shouldn't care about the generations of mortals.

Xie Yan glanced at them as if he had realized something, and briefly explained the obligations and rights of both parties to the covenant.

In general, Inazuma got a good deal in the transaction. After all, apart from swords, Inazuma's products had little competitiveness internationally. Even if Xie Yan made transfer payments and policy subsidies, the people of Inazuma might not earn much. Now that they have the fixed market of Xumi, they are much more comfortable than before.

All Inazuma needed to do was to temporarily borrow part of the army and provide support in terms of force and equipment. But with Xie Yan's status as a prince, who would dare to treat the shogunate army badly when they went there?

Kujo Sara immediately stepped forward and stated: "I have already informed the shogunate army of this matter. After statistics and discussion, I suggest that the shogunate army stationed in Xumi be replaced every two years and take turns to guard it."

She still doesn't quite adapt to the identity of Tianling Fengxing, but she has been in the army since she was young. Although she seems indifferent, she actually knows the soldiers very well. After returning yesterday, she discussed it in advance and told them the situation of Xumi truthfully.

It can be said that she was able to quickly take control of the shogunate army after the downfall of Kujo Takayuki, on the one hand because of her sufficient reputation, and on the other hand because of Kujo Sara's care for the soldiers.

Obeying orders is a soldier's duty, but soldiers are not robots, and they know very well who is good to them. They fight to the death not for the old bastard Kujo Takayuki, but for the people and the general.

After she expressed her opinion, the small and medium-sized families affiliated with Tianling Fengxing came forward to list specific plans.

Many of them had just come to power and were eager to make political achievements. They were extremely attentive in their plans, and even Hua Sanli expressed her approval.

With the full cooperation of the three magistrates, the details of the cooperation plan with Xumi were quickly finalized, and then small issues such as the improvement of the public security environment, the reconstruction of Feimu Village, and the regular maintenance of the town facilities on Bayin Island were raised and resolved on the spot.

Looking at all the minor issues, only the trade between Mondjingfu Port and Inazuma took up some time.

It is said that many monsters are gathering towards Mondstadt. Although the Knights of Favonius have sent people to help, a large number of troops have been taken on the expedition, and the Knights are struggling to cope with the situation. The officials of the shogunate are discussing whether to send shogunate troops on merchant ships to help with the cleanup.

In theory, this kind of help is a good thing, but it requires the consent of the Knights of Favonius or their invitation. Otherwise, suddenly bringing a group of soldiers over will inevitably cause adverse effects internationally.

Comparing his experience in Liyue, Xie Yan suddenly realized something. The advantages of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates system have been mentioned before, but it also has disadvantages. One is that Ganyu is needed to act as a supervisor, and the other is that the efficiency is slow and the various departments will definitely argue with each other.

On the shogunate's side, General Raiden personally participated in the decision-making of major affairs. The system of one-man rule greatly improved work efficiency. There was no shirking of responsibility, and any policy could be implemented immediately.

"I was on the wrong track before. There is no such thing as a permanent system. The key is to maintain vitality and have the ability to innovate. Besides, it is not realistic for Inazuma to learn everything from Liyue. We must always consider our own national conditions."

Thinking of this, everything in front of him suddenly became clear. Combining what he had seen and heard from Xumi and Liyue, Xie Yan already had a preliminary idea.

While he was thinking, some officials saw that the discussion of the main matter seemed to be almost over, so they stepped forward and said, "General, Your Highness Xie Yan is the god of my Inazuma and has made such a great contribution to my Inazuma. However, the position of Kande Bugyo is still a mortal position. I think it may be appropriate to create an additional official position for the canonization."

The person who spoke was the patriarch of the Songchuan family, who was now under the command of Xie Yan. However, they were well aware of the awkward status of their old subordinates, so how could they miss the opportunity to flatter him?

His proposal was agreed by many people. After all, Xie Yan had become a prince in Xumi, and it would be too disheartening if he did not have a status when he returned to Inazuma.

Some people even thought of a slogan: Inazuma Xing, Xie Yan Wang!

The general shook his head slightly: "The position of Kanding Fengxing is indeed a bit low for him, but I have my own considerations on this matter... In short, it should not be long before he is canonized."

At first, everyone didn't understand what was going on, but once they calmed down, they suddenly understood: the general was going to confer the title of prince consort!

However, as a result, all the officials of the shogunate could not help but look at Kamisato Ayato.

The community is in charge of sacrificial affairs. At this time, they have to establish a title for Xie Yan and related ceremonies and festivals. They may also have to participate in the matter of conferring the title of king on the husband. Isn't the Kamisato family going to take off?

But if that's the case, why did the head of the Kamisato family frown before today's meeting started? It can't be that His Highness Xie Yan has taken a fancy to Princess Bai Lu and is planning to take her into his palace, right?

This is the most reasonable explanation that all the officials in the shogunate could think of, but the problem is...Princess Shiraha is obviously very happy about it, brother-in-law Ayato, you should just obey her!

However--

The general's next words let everyone know the reason, and made them freeze in place as if struck by lightning.

"I was deeply touched by what Xie Yan mentioned about the Kujo family. Kujo Takayuki and Shinsuke colluded with outsiders and used the war to levy heavy taxes for their own benefit. During this period, the Assessment Office remained silent, which made me think that Inazuma was living in peace and prosperity. This is enough to show that the shogunate system has great drawbacks. With reference to the Seven Stars and Eight Gates of Liyue, I plan to make some changes to the shogunate system."

The calm tone caused a huge stir in the assessment office. Except for a few people like Xie Yan, the other officials all looked terrified and their bodies were almost shaking.

After experiencing the turmoil of the recent period, everyone knows that the Inazuma system must change. After all, two of the three magistrates committed treason, and this black spot is enough to be engraved on the pillar of shame.

Therefore, what they feared the most was that the General and Xie Yan would use this opportunity to change the hereditary system, which meant that they could no longer continue the comfortable life of "the head of the family would take the blame when something goes wrong with the family", and the family could no longer continue to work in a shabby manner.

If they really want to examine their personal qualities as strictly as the Seven Stars and Eight Gates, even if they think they can pass, no one can guarantee that their descendants will be able to pass the test.

In other words, the family inheritance would be cut off, and they would no longer be able to maintain their lofty aristocratic status.

But how could ordinary people question the general's orders? Even if their families were well-known figures in Inazuma, they were not even qualified to speak in front of the general.

How to do?

Some people were at a loss, but more people focused their eyes on Kamisato Ayato...Xie Yan and Kujo Sara were definitely on the side of the Shogun, and only Kamisato Ayato, who was also from an aristocratic family, was in the same camp as them.

At the same time, these shogunate officials had to admire Kamisato Ayato's keen judgment, as he had anticipated this step before the meeting even began.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Kamisato Ayato stood quietly for a long time, his handsome face full of struggle, but he finally made up his mind and stood up.

"General, I think that although the Seven Stars and Eight Gates mechanism of Liyue is good, it may not be suitable for Inazuma." Kamisato Ayato expressed his opinion first, and then added: "After all, the shogunate system has lasted for thousands of years, and the hereditary system has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even street vendors pay attention to the word inheritance. It can be said that this is one of the meanings of our Eternal Kingdom."

His voice was loud and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant. His arguments were based on the system and the foundation of the country, which was consistent with the identity of his own society. There was nothing wrong with his advice.

Even the nobles who usually didn't get along well with Kamisato Ayato now placed all their hopes on him.

But the general seemed to have made up her mind. In the face of persuasion, she still shook her head and said, "Passing on the torch is the right way, but how do you explain the affairs of the Kujo family? The ancestors of the two families were both brave and brave, and they were the first to fight against monsters, but their descendants did not inherit this honor at all."

She insisted on using the Kujo family and the family as examples, and even Kamisato Ayato could not refute it. After all, Inazuma was the one-man show of General Raiden, a highly autocratic monarchy with a lot of faith, which could be described as a combination of politics and religion.

But...is the shogunate really going to undergo such a drastic change? They were powerless to resist the Shogun's decision, nor did they dare to resent it, but at this moment they could not help but feel a sense of despair as if the world was collapsing.

At this time, Hanasari, who had remained silent, suddenly clasped his hands and said, "Shogun, what the head of the Kamisato family said is true. I have my own national conditions here. If we make such a rash change, I am afraid that the shogunate will stop functioning."

"Someone also said so when I killed the treacherous ministers before, but the facts have proven that even though they are dead, the shogunate is still functioning as usual. In fact, after one month, except for a shortage of food, the shogunate's fiscal revenue has broken the record of the past ten years."

"No, there are only a few treacherous officials after all, but this matter concerns the entire shogunate. Moreover, Inazuma is at a critical stage of development right now, and the cooperation with Sumi is just around the corner. If people's hearts are unsettled, it will be difficult to carry out the next work."

No one expected that Hua Sanli, the immortal, would actually speak for the officials, and everyone couldn't help but have a little more recognition of this disciple of the Husai Palace.

Come to think of it, they were really stupid before. Hanasaroma Palace Chief is a great demon, how could he compete for power with mortals?

In the tense atmosphere, the general was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, this move is indeed a bit inappropriate, but the problem of the shogunate system definitely exists. How can this be solved?"

"I think we can start with supervision, which is a mechanism that Liyue has not yet formed a system." Hua Sanli said, "The people of Inako have no doubts about their faith in the general, but as a noble, in charge of a department, with too much power in your hands, you will inevitably have some small thoughts. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the abyss."

"But who can monitor the nobles? Even if ordinary people discover corruption, they probably wouldn't dare to report it."

"That's right. Therefore, I think we can add an [Anbu]. This department will be directly under the General and His Highness Xie Yan, and will only obey your orders. Its personnel can be reorganized from the final group of the Okuji Shuwasha, and then recruit experts from the military or the civilians."

Although the identity of the Sumoban is mysterious, all officials of the shogunate know of its existence, not to mention the Okujishu, who are the shogun's personal guards and are extremely powerful.

Everyone's forehead was covered with sweat at the thought of being watched and monitored by these people day and night. They were unwilling in their hearts, but compared to directly abolishing the hereditary system, this seemed acceptable.

After all, the Anbu only take orders from the two gods, so they cannot be bought by their political enemies. As long as they act uprightly, they will not be brought to justice.

During the conversation between the general and Hanasari, the matter was finalized. At the same time, Kamisato Ayato fought for many rights for the nobles, and there would be no unprovoked searches of their homes.

but--

The reorganization is coming to an end, so wouldn't the Society Magistrates suffer heavy losses? They are already short of manpower compared to the other two magistrates.

What's even more terrible is yet to come. Xie Yan suddenly mentioned the two evil swordsmiths from yesterday, and said that he would reform the Inazuma swordsmithing industry, teach the Five Transmissions of Thunder and Lightning Swordsmithing Technique, protect the rights and interests of swordsmiths, and send witches to monitor the Tatarashi sand smelting furnace to prevent overload.

At first glance, it seems like a good thing, but the sword-forging industry was originally under the charge of the Society Bugyo. Xie Yan has now integrated it, and has not disclosed whether it is still under the charge of the Society Bugyo. This immediately gives people a feeling of suppression.

Thinking of how the head of the Kamisato family had stood up for everyone, all the officials in the shogunate couldn't help but sweat secretly, thinking that after the decree was initially implemented, everyone could petition together to hand over the sword-forging industry to the control of the company magistrate.

This was not simply a matter of repaying a favor, but considering that among the Three Bugyo, only the Shrine Bugyo and the nobles were on the same page, they had to put forward a leader for both public and private reasons.

After this topic was concluded, today's assessment institute meeting came to an end. However, compared to the high spirits when they came in, everyone's clothes were soaked with cold sweat when they walked out of the door.

Neither Xie Yan nor Hua Sanli left. They followed General Lei Dian back to the inner hall.

"Huh..." The general pressed his forehead lightly, "Although it was you who transmitted the message to me just now, Hua Sanli, and I just need to read it, but I still don't understand what you are doing by beating around the bush."

She could understand that Hanasari wanted to reform, and she could understand that Kamisato Ayato was unwilling to do so, but later on, everyone pushed each other back and forth, and finally came up with a new plan, which left the general confused.

She could only keep a stern face and look dignified, nodding and asking a few questions from time to time, so that others would mistakenly believe that they could understand.
