My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 605 - 377 Knowing

Ministry of Personnel.

The Right Prime Minister placed both hands on the table, breathing more and more rapidly, his gaze growing increasingly bright.

For the Confucians, governing the country and bringing peace to the world has always been their lifelong pursuit, and the prerequisite for governing the country and bringing peace to the world is loyalty to the Emperor.

But observing the actions of the Emperor...

This sovereign, loyalty is not worth it!

Through this event, he completely realized that there was actually no essential difference between the Imperial Family and the Six Great Families.

No, the harm of the Imperial Family to the common people far exceeded that of the families.

The greatest traitor in Daxia is not in the Ministry of Justice, not in the Spiegel Bureau, and not in the famous families!

It’s in the Imperial Palace!

The small countries on the continent managed without an Emperor, the states continued to function as usual, with various departments restraining each other, everyone adhering to the Law, and no one could stand above others, they could, why couldn’t Daxia?

They could do without an Emperor, so could Daxia do without an Emperor.

However, there is one thing he understood very clearly.

The premise for Daxia to be without an Emperor is that Wei Country, Chu Country, Qi Country, and Zhao Country all have no Emperors.

Only when all the countries on the continent no longer have Emperors will the world that the Confucianists wish to build become a possibility.

With his own strength alone, accomplishing this is very difficult.

So what?

Failure means only death.

His body might perish, but his thoughts would not.

As long as this flame is planted in the hearts of the people, whether it takes a hundred years, a thousand years—one day, someone will arise to rebuild a new order.

His eyes shone brightly, his heart no longer lost, his thoughts clearer than ever.

At a certain moment, a subtle ripple suddenly occurred within his Vast Qi.

In an instant, it seemed like the power within him had completely vanished.

But it wasn’t truly gone.

At this moment, everything in Chang’an remained unchanged.

The common people carried on with their daily routines, officials in various government offices busied themselves with administrative tasks, just as always.

In the Ministry of Justice, Li Xuanjing put down the pen in his hand, looked in a certain direction, and displayed a meaningful smile on his face.

...

In the thirty-sixth year of Zhisheng.

The second day of the second month.

Spring returned to the land, with grass growing and warblers flying.

With a month left until the Imperial Examination, it was the most diligent time for students, and candidates from all over the land had already arrived in Chang’an in advance.

Their arrival spurred consumption in Chang’an’s inns, restaurants, private residences, and Music Workshops and brothels, rendering the entire city vibrant and flourishing.

The shadow lingering in the hearts of Chang’an’s citizens seemed to vanish with the advent of spring and the city’s revival.

The matter of Great Scholar Su was scarcely mentioned anymore.

Yet, some occasionally wondered, if Daxia was like those small countries and not ruled by an Emperor, would the tragedy of Great Scholar Su not happen again?

Although such thoughts were rebellious, they uncontrollably appeared in their minds often.

Ningxin Garden.

Phoenix, holding Li Nian in her arms, walked in angrily, fuming, "It’s infuriating that they won’t sell to us even though business is about serving the customer!"

Anning, holding Li Zhi in her arms, followed behind with a similarly gloomy look.

Yiren, who was sparring with Jiaren, dropped her sword and ran over, asking, "Who bullied you? I’ll stand up for you!"

Phoenix’s lips moved slightly, but she ended up just sighing, saying, "Forget it..."

Earlier, she and Anning had taken Li Nian and Li Zhi out and saw the flower hairpin being sold by a peddler was particularly exquisite, so they wanted to buy it for Li Nian and Li Zhi, only to be refused by the peddler.

When asked why, the peddler said it was because Great Scholar Su had told him in a dream not to do business with them.

Though his words were polite, the underlying meaning was quite obvious.

The death of Great Scholar Su had stirred considerable public resentment, people dared not curse the Emperor, so their father naturally bore the brunt of it all.

Previously, when going out with Li Nuo, the common folk always greeted them warmly.

Whenever they wanted to buy something, those vendors never even wanted to take money.

But since the death of Great Scholar Su, everything changed.

The attitude of the common people towards them had evidently shifted.

She placed Li Nian down, saying with frustration, "A bunch of ignorant masses, can’t they think for themselves!"

Last time, she managed with difficulty to turn around their father’s tarnished reputation, only for all that effort to dissolve into nothing with this incident...

It’s obvious that this was the Emperor’s intention, difficult as it is to defy imperial orders.

Everything the Li Family had was granted by the Emperor, and if they, like Great Scholar Su, could not achieve their goals and opted for death, then who would have done so much for the common people over these years!

Why are they so foolish!

Thinking it over, she still felt indignant, stamping her foot and saying, "I can’t swallow this anger!"

Watching Phoenix run off, Li Anning sighed softly.

Unlike Phoenix, Jiaren, and Yiren, the ones being cursed as foolish and treacherous by the people were her Father Emperor and her father, whom she also called father.

Though she knew Li Nuo had more important matters to attend to, at this moment, she wished more than anything for him to be by her side.

She hugged Li Zhi, looking into the distance, silently thinking, "When will you come back..."

...

Qian State.

An isolated mountain village.

A dozen constables were confronted by more than a hundred villagers.

The constables representing the government exhibited rare nervousness when facing common people, their swords drawn, adopting defensive stances, as sweat the size of beans rolled down their foreheads.

Although they had some skills, the villagers’ axes and hoes were not simply for show; if a fight broke out, they would all be lost here.
