Chapter 493 The Ideal Boss
"The Way of Heaven is the objective law and principle of the universe, the Way of Earth is the relationship between man and nature, and the Way of Humanity is the moral code among human beings."
After Li Muyang finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and gave Liu Yan some time to process the information: "This statement is rather general. The Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao are not something His Majesty can interfere with at present. Moreover, the Human Dao currently dominates this realm, so the matter of the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao can be put on hold for now."
Well, although the Heavenly Dao is always NP (non-interference), this world was originally formed by a powerful being who merged several small worlds together. So how powerful can the Heavenly Dao of this world be? You're overthinking it. Even now, the Heavenly Dao of this world hasn't been fully merged yet!
As for the underground passage, it's not just the underworld. Although the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty and the Divine Kingdom is about the relationship between nature and man, it's really just about the earth bearing all things. With the current strength of the Great Qian Dynasty, it's probably difficult to comprehend this kind of power.
So let's start with humanity.
"Simply put, besides bringing the country, the people, and the nation into the foundation of the nation's destiny, the second thing is to ensure that humanity in this world... well, in essence, it's like signing and stamping! Getting humanity to recognize the Great Qian!" Li Muyang pondered, explaining in rather simple and clear language.
The right path!
But Liu Yan was stumped: "Sir, how exactly should we handle this? Could you explain it more clearly?"
Li Muyang didn't want to dwell on this issue, and waved his hand, saying, "It's not a big problem! It's alright if Your Majesty doesn't understand! I can help with things that gain humanitarian recognition! Once that recognition is achieved, Your Majesty will understand!"
"Now, if you ask me to explain, I don't know how to explain it. It can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words."
After a moment's thought, Liu Yan nodded decisively without hesitation and said, "Alright! Then I'll trouble you to take care of this matter, sir!"
Liu Yan trusted Li Muyang a great deal, because Old Li had no reason to lay a hand on him.
A plot to usurp the throne? Forget it. Ever since he met the players, Liu Yan had a general idea that Li Muyang came from the same world as the players, while over there... they were all immortals!
Compared to their own world, those people are all gods! Or rather, cultivators!
Li Muyang's identity over there, according to the players, can be summarized in two words: mysterious and powerful!
What made Liu Yan understand was the national destiny beast that Li Muyang had just taken out! That Qilin!
If Li Muyang had kept it hidden, Liu Yan might have started to overthink things. But since Li Muyang was very open and didn't mind showing it off, Liu Yan wouldn't have thought too much about it.
Even if Li Muyang also possesses a Celestial Dynasty and Divine Kingdom, so what?
To be honest, Liu Yan believes that the current prosperity of the Great Qian Dynasty is related to Li Muyang. At the very least, Li Muyang truly deserves the title of the founder of the new martial arts! In fact, Liu Yan, this well-hidden fellow, has also reached the Longevity Realm in martial arts by taking advantage of the nation's fortune, in addition to his identity as the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!
This is why Liu Yan addresses Li Muyang as "Sir"! If he could, he would call him "Teacher" or "Grandmaster"! If he weren't afraid that Li Muyang would look down on him, Liu Yan would have even wanted to appoint him as the Imperial Preceptor!
Originally, the Great Qian Dynasty had little to do with Li Muyang; what was related to Li Muyang was Wuxiang City!
Li Muyang is currently working hard, running around to solve their problems. If Liu Yan still can't distinguish between the big and small kings, Li Muyang can simply quit! Does Liu Yan think he can force Li Muyang to work for him?
Faced with Liu Yan's unwavering trust, Li Muyang was deeply moved! The fate of a nation is of paramount importance to a country! Liu Yan certainly knew this, yet he still quickly showed such trust in matters that Li Muyang had intervened in!
And he had only met Liu Yan a few times!
Even though he didn't have many other thoughts, Li Muyang was still impressed that an emperor could trust him so much; he was truly a magnanimous person!
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Li Muyang solemnly bowed and promised, "As long as I live, I will do my utmost to ensure the safety of Your Majesty and the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Liu Yan was surprised by Li Muyang's sudden grand gesture and promise. He quickly stood up to help him up and said with a smile, "Sir, you have already helped my Great Qian Dynasty enough. I have never asked for anything. To be honest, I was just picked up as a concubine. No one expected that I would be the one to succeed to the throne, including myself!"
"I never aspired to be a great emperor for all time, nor did I ask for the Great Qian Dynasty to prosper for ten thousand generations. I only ask that the Great Qian Dynasty not be destroyed in my hands, that I be worthy of the ancestors of the Great Qian Dynasty, worthy of the people of the Great Qian Dynasty, and most importantly, worthy of myself! As long as I have a clear conscience, that's enough!"
"I am well aware of my own abilities. I have a decent talent in martial arts, but governing the country relies entirely on the help of wise and capable people like you. Therefore, I do not like laymen giving orders blindly, and I listen to the opinions of experts when I do not understand! If you do not fail the Great Qian Dynasty, I will certainly not fail you! This is also my promise to you!"
Self-awareness!
This is an extremely rare quality in an ancient emperor!
It's no wonder that Li Muyang always felt that Emperor Liu Yan gave him a different impression.
I was right about him!
Originally, Li Muyang just wanted to experience being the imperial advisor, but now he's really taking it seriously!
He's already been emperor, so what's wrong with being a national advisor?
Having explained the matter of the Celestial Dynasty and Divine Kingdom's destiny, Li Muyang then brought up the previous incident involving the Black Flood Dragon and the compensation promised by the Four Seas Dragon Kings... Hmm, gifts!
The delivery address has been set in the capital. Your Majesty, please sign for it on our behalf!
Liu Yan swallowed hard. Good heavens, he thought his trust in Li Muyang was already excessive, but he didn't expect Li Muyang to treat him like an outsider! The compensation from the Four Seas Dragon King was delivered right to his doorstep, and he could choose whatever he wanted?
Li Muyang smiled calmly: "It was originally compensation... ugh! A gift! How could I keep it all to myself?"
It's also because Li Muyang doesn't lack these things; he already has a Celestial Dynasty and a Divine Kingdom at his disposal! Above that, there's also the Earthly Immortal Realm! As long as it doesn't affect the development of his own dynasty, it's not a problem for Li Muyang to take as much as he wants.
That being said, Liu Yan naturally couldn't accept everything at once. He asked Li Muyang to leave a list outlining the resources that absolutely needed to be kept, which would then be specially sent to Wuxiang City... or perhaps a residence would be reserved for Li Muyang in the capital!
That works too! Anyway, Li Muyang doesn't have many other things, but he has a lot of incarnations. One Bodhi seed is one incarnation!
Upon learning that Li Muyang was willing to leave behind an avatar, Liu Yan excitedly declared that he would appoint Li Muyang as the Imperial Preceptor, and the two would conspire... oops, they hit it off immediately! Agreed!
The two agreed that after a while, during the ancestral worship ceremony of the Great Qian Dynasty, they would thoroughly repair the defects in the foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty's national fortune!
There isn't much preparation needed for this matter. Whether it's the country or the common people, the Great Qian Dynasty has a very high degree of control over the people! Even in the martial arts world, the imperial court still holds the highest right of interpretation.
It must be said that Emperor Liu Yan was not as incompetent as he claimed. At least in terms of judging and employing people, he was absolutely exceptional!
Li Muyang smiled silently and didn't say much. Liu Yan was indeed special. Since the mysterious resurgence, his special talents had been fully awakened, making this emperor even more adept at understanding human relationships.
With the bearing of a sage and a mind of seven orifices, he is said to be able to communicate with all things in the world and to see through all illusions! He can even discern people's hearts! Liu Yan's martial arts talent is also related to his mind of seven orifices, which has a strong auxiliary effect on the cultivation of Qi!
It's someone else's secret; it's fine if you know it yourself, but there's no point in revealing it.
Once the business is over, it's time for personal matters.
Li Muyang then summoned the three women, Li Shixuan and Lin Daiyu, to introduce them to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan had met all three women except Erii. Aside from sighing at Li Muyang's good fortune with women, the Emperor of Daqian did not overstep any boundaries. He preferred talented people like Li Muyang to beauties!
As for Li Shixuan, Old Li's cousin, Liu Yan also tried to win him over. After all, he was a martial arts master, and most importantly, he was a player!
There are many players, but Liu Yan probably only has a few he truly trusts. In the entire Daqian Dynasty, he could only find one, Zhao Chen, and that was only because of Li Muyang's influence.
The same applies to Li Shixuan!
In other words, the older cousin was aware of his own abilities. In order to avoid tarnishing his younger cousin's reputation, Li Shixuan wisely and respectfully refused Liu Yan's request. For him, this world was more of a game, a way to relax. He had already joined the Transmigrator Association and was going to travel to all the worlds.
By then, we won't have much energy left! Not everyone can be like Li Muyang, sending out clones across countless worlds!
However, I am still willing to do my best if something happens!
Liu Yan was somewhat disappointed that Li Shixuan declined the important position, but that was all. He could also see that Li Muyang was Li Muyang and Li Shixuan was Li Shixuan; the two cousins were quite different.
Appoint people based on merit, not on favoritism!
Finally, Liu Yan's gaze fell on Lin Daiyu.
Liu Yan also trusted Lin Ruhai, a trusted official. The position of Salt Inspector was reserved for the emperor's own people. So, when he learned that this delicate young lady was frail and wanted to stay at the Jia family mansion, he said that she could contact him at any time if needed.
We can't let Lin Daiyu be bullied in the Jia family! My subordinates are doing things for me, how can I, the emperor, not even take care of the families of my employees?
As for how to contact me?
It's easy!
Let's add each other as friends!
Li Muyang also granted Lin Daiyu NPC privileges, allowing her to successfully become a member of the Glorious World NPC!
It's the kind that can still issue tasks!
Lin Daiyu, who had already read most of "Dream of the Red Chamber," was originally very saddened by her tortuous fate after entering the Jia family. But the current situation made her realize that times had changed!
Everything in this book is just a possibility, not a certainty. Now that you know this destiny, you also have the opportunity to change it!
Lin Daiyu is sentimental and melancholic, but she's not stupid; in fact, she's quite shrewd and capable! Of course, she understands how to expand her advantages and seize the initiative! Cultivate a good relationship with the current emperor—the small Jia family! She's got it figured out!
