Chapter 852: Chapter 651: Improvised Persuasion, King Qin Falls into the Trap
This was still the first meeting of the two "Emperors" after the great upheaval at the Ancestor Dragon Imperial Mausoleum. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm
Back then, Wang Yuan, as the Old Six who survived to the end, successfully escaped with the Yin side of the [Golden Que Imperial Court] and over a million Ghost people from Emperor Shi’s hands.
Most of the royal treasury’s collections, the most precious [Sui Hou Pearl], half of the [Twelve Gold Men], and also the [Human Book: Imperial Decree Twelve Laws].
Complementing the ever-strengthening national fate of the Red County Shenzhou, this led to the birth of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.
However, the two of them never directly confronted each other from beginning to end.
In fact, if it weren’t for Wang Yuan’s intervention and his final act of mercy under the sword.
The Fake Death Emperor Shi would have long been torn apart by the arriving [Human Tribulation]: Huhai, Zaofu the ancestor of the Ying family, and the West King Holy Mother.
Not to mention achieving the position of a [Human Immortal], even his own flesh, Divine Soul, and the most fundamental True Spirit, would have been completely devoured by Weirdness!
With such a causality, the two with complex feelings towards each other, although not considered friends, are also not enemies.
Moreover, the position of [Human Immortal] highly values Human Willpower, and the Human Dao does not permit internal strife or betrayal among Immortals.
What Emperor Shi truly thinks is actually not important; any harmful action taken by him would lead to a demotion at the very least.
Wang Yuan doesn’t believe he would dare to harm him.
As his mind rapidly calculated and understood the key points, he regained his composure before anyone else noticed the change.
Raising a cup to signal Emperor Shi, he then slowly spoke:
"I wonder what insights the Ancestor Dragon has to share?"
To be honest, who wouldn’t want the esteemed position of the [Mysterious Vault God]?
Not to mention the high status of the Great Heavenly Venerable above the Heavenly Dao.
Once an Underdog becomes the boss of the Killing Tree and native Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t the "Promotion Loan" owed be unnecessary to repay?
If I owe the bank money, as long as I acquire the entire bank, all the assets inevitably become mine.
This would immediately open up a grand new perspective!
Oh Wang Qianshan, Wang Qianshan, you are indeed a business genius!
Facing the unclear intentions of Emperor Shi, Wang Yuan neither affirms nor denies his desires, choosing instead to listen to what he has to say.
Feeling within himself the same source, even before any Ritual has been held, the [Imperial Decree Twelve Laws] remains several times stronger than his own [Human Immortal] state.
Emperor Shi’s drunken and hazy eyes displayed a very complex expression:
"I dare not presume to instruct. Could you, Taoist Fellow, first answer me... one question?"
If you can reveal this to me, I will offer you information concerning the path to Tao, forming a bond of goodwill.
This is the question: What is the way of rulership in the heart of Taoist Fellow?"
This question arose purely because he was utterly bewildered.
Wondering why such opportunities for advancement in Daoist Skill Industry did not appear in their own Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, which lasted over a thousand years without wars and famines, continually absorbing the essence of the Human Dao.
Yet it appeared instead in the outside world, where in less than three centuries changes occur due to land annexation, bureaucratic corruption, and the rise of refugees?
Moreover, after planting each Fire Seed, industry, new agriculture, and pharmaceuticals rapidly spread at a fission-like speed.
Exhibiting a terrifying vitality that frightened a group of [Heavenly Officials], and even made himself pale.
How did it come to this?
Despite coming to find Wang Yuan with a more significant purpose, this question remained lodged in his throat, needing to be expressed.
Moreover, like most Daoist Skills in the world, [Imperial Decree Twelve Laws] combines Magic and Skill.
The process of establishing an Immortal Dynasty from scratch is indeed the process of Cultivation.
From Human Dao Monarch, ascending to Heavenly Dao Monarch, essentially it is a Ritual of usurping the highest rank of the Heavenly Dao — Representing Heaven’s Heart!
From his philosophy of rulership, one can glimpse the whole picture.
Wang Yuan quietly activated the [Heart Communication Conch] which he had already consumed, also a new Divine Skill [Telepathy].
Observing this Emperor Shi, who had drunk several cups of [Thousand-Day Drunk] and was evidently slightly tipsy, he found only curiosity and anticipation within his heart, absent of darker emotions.
He then breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately felt that perhaps this was a rare opportunity for himself.
——To reintegrate the first [Human Immortal] of the Mortal World into the Immortal Dynasty system.
Not the Great Qin, but the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty!
After all, compared to Taoist Fellows among the Nine Soldiers, the members of the Immortal Dynasty are the truly direct lineage who can be commanded with precision.
He then frankly said:
"Under my command, there is [Succeeding Saint] Liu Wencheng, who has composed a grand literary work ’Whip Mountain Dragon Seeking Scripture’.
There is the ’Dragon Creation Technique’, prescribed in nine ways: observe the Headless Dragons, it is auspicious!
To prevent ’Kanglong Regret’ and ensure the national fate always ’Flying Dragon in the Sky’, one must employ the path of ’Headless Dragons’.
A monarch need not personally attend to every affair, only take on the wise ministers’ advice, utilize the ministers’ proper roles, allowing everyone to become as dragons.
Achieving peace throughout the seas, all is well and fortunate.
It may cause Emperor Ancestor Dragon to laugh, but without the assistance of this way, the fate of Great Yan would likely have perished under a dynasty’s [Dragon Slaying Skill]."
In fact, this is precisely "Virtual Monarch Governance".
The Human Lord stands high above, not imposing personal opinions, not interfering through petty individuals, not constraining with trivial rules, allowing ministers to operate without impediments, thus responsible for their success.
Thus, having been entrusted, do not scrutinize their conduct unnecessarily, only demand their achievements.
The Monarch does not engage in routine affairs, does not need to govern directly, but leaves all responsibilities to the government led by the Prime Minister.
If done well, it naturally results in a wise and enlightened monarch; if not, the Prime Minister and government bear the responsibility.
Because of non-contention, thus no one in the world contends, naturally positioned in an invincible stance.
