Chapter 660: The True Lineage of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Oddities of the Court

"Who am I? What am I supposed to do? What the heck are those weird-looking creatures down there?" Qin Muye's expression was one of disbelief.

After randomly selecting one of the worlds in the Causality, Qin Muye found himself placed in a situation.

Fortunately, The Lord Era quickly provided him with some information and requirements. His mission this time was to restore the Great Qian Dynasty to its rightful lineage and bring about a renaissance.

This was understandable, but the question was, who was the true lineage?

Below, there were snake people, corpses with sharp ears that looked like dogs, and human-shaped beings with two wings and no facial features, among a myriad of other strange creatures. These creatures were wearing court robes.

There were also humans, but they were all placed at the very back of the palace.

'Oh, the human race is the true lineage, but they've been usurped by a bunch of peculiar alien races.'

'I can't use too much power, or it will affect the Great Qian's national fortune.'

'So, I'm supposed to act as a mascot and deal with these creatures? I'm not a professional at this!!!'

Qin Muye was somewhat bewildered after receiving the corresponding information.

It has to be said that The Lord Era was quite sincere. At least after he arrived, the Causality was reduced by half. It was like paying in advance, not waiting until the task was completed to pay, which was quite fair.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the North-South Canal will be completed soon, but the funds..." The human-shaped being with two wings and no facial features stood up and reported, appearing respectful but lacking genuine respect.

This was Ye Yin, the Minister of Works and the head of the Ye family, one of the great families of the world, who was not human.

Currently, this being was in disguise. To Qin Muye, it was a Night Demon, but to humans, this person was human.

The same was true for other alien races.

Currently, the entire Great Qian court had been taken over by these alien races. Even Qin Muye's predecessor, the previous Qian Emperor, had recently fallen into the water and drowned, after which The Lord Era replaced him with Qin Muye to help out.

"Find the Ministry of Revenue," Qin Muye said slowly, then changed his posture and leaned lazily on the dragon throne.

This made the alien officials below look at him with puzzled expressions. His demeanor had changed. The young emperor who had just ascended the throne was previously timid and fearful, but now he seemed carefree and indifferent.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty, and we have no money left," a rat-faced human stood up and spoke with tears in his voice, summarizing it in two words: no money.

This rat-faced human was named Su Shu, the Minister of Revenue and a member of the Su family, another great family, alongside the Ye family.

"Oh, that's terrible. Here's what I propose: each of you donate one million taels of gold," Qin Muye said with a look of confidence, though he felt extremely unlucky. Even in this high martial world, the great families were still haunting him, and worse, they had all become alien races.

The human race, on the other hand, was oppressed. There were no great families among them. It was clear that none of the six ministers or the chief minister were human.

The national fortune of the Qian Dynasty had weakened as a result.

These leading figures were all 8th-stage beings. There were no 9th-stage beings discovered yet, and it was unknown where they were hiding.

Qin Muye's words left all the alien officials looking at each other in confusion, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. This clearly showed that he was a fool. If he weren't a fool, how could he say such things?

"Your subjects are unworthy of the emperor's grace and cannot come up with one million taels of silver," the chief minister led the way, and everyone below knelt down in a scattered manner.

"You misunderstand me," Qin Muye said earnestly. "The one million taels I mentioned are in gold, not silver."

"???" The ministers were full of doubt about Qin Muye's statement. They thought he was foolish. Their intention was not to give, and he was missing the point. What difference did it make whether it was silver or gold?

"Um, the emperor does not jest. Let it be so. Dismiss the court," Qin Muye thought for a moment and decided to leave it at that.

However, when he said this, there was no response at all. After all, he was just a new puppet emperor, and no one listened to him.

Even the eunuch standing nearby ignored him, as if he hadn't heard Qin Muye's words. Normally, the eunuch would announce the dismissal of the court at this point.

Qin Muye thought this was just ridiculous.

After that, he left on his own. Although his status was that of a puppet emperor, it still had some use, at least the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty was still on his side.

"Your Majesty’s actions are forcing an old minister to resign," the Chief Minister, who was a snake person, immediately prostrated himself, clearly intending to stage a coup.

"Very well, I approve. Go back," Qin Muye immediately agreed before the other alien officials could join in, which left those who were planning to join in stunned.

You’re not playing by the rules at all, but soon the others also reacted and started shouting for their resignations.

Qin Muye approved all of them, saying they could just leave their official seals and court robes behind without needing to ask him one by one.

He was a strict adherent to labor laws; if they wanted to resign, he wouldn’t stop them, but they wouldn’t get any severance either, as he wasn’t the one firing them.

After doing this, he slowly returned to his palace, which was empty and bare.

Three palaces, six courtesans, and seventy-two concubines? Don’t even think about it. He had just ascended the throne, and there were none. The previous Qian Emperor did have them, but they were all sent to guard the imperial tombs, which made Qin Muye quite depressed.

As for the future? Don’t even think about it. Given the current situation, he might also end up "accidentally" falling into the water in a few days.

"Sigh, this thing is really too much of a hassle," Qin Muye looked at the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty on him and sighed, "If it weren’t for this thing, I would have already started draining the blood of those alien races."

"What a mess."

This wasn’t just about being held back by his teammates; it was like they were deliberately making things harder for him.

Otherwise, he could have resolved the situation and restored the true lineage in ten minutes.

"Even my perception is restricted. This protection is really something," Qin Muye checked the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty and understood. This thing was indeed a form of protection. For Qin Muye, it was as thin as paper, but no supernatural power below the 9th stage could affect him.

If anyone above the 9th stage tried to harm him, it would directly trigger natural disasters and human calamities.

Moreover, it had an extremely strong suppressive effect on the alien races. If the Great Qian Dynasty were at its peak, the alien races wouldn’t even dare to serve in the court, as they would be crushed by the national fortune.

Apart from being useless on him, everything else was fine.

As for how the previous Qian Emperor was "accidentally" drowned, it was quite simple. The alien races couldn’t act, but the human race could.

So, Qin Muye was confined within this protective shield. If he wanted to take action, he would first need to break this shield, and if he did, the mission would be over.

The national fortune was closely tied to the Great Qian Dynasty.

"You’re overestimating me. I have no political skills at all," Qin Muye was somewhat helpless. What should he do next?

Let the spirits come out and kill everyone? Not very realistic. This was a 9th-stage world, and the spirits were only at the 8th stage, which wasn’t enough.

If he really went all out and finished them off, the alien races and the great families would surely have 9th-stage beings.

Moreover, apart from the Great Qian Dynasty, there were also the Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi, who were all supported by these alien families.

Their goal was simple: to weaken the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty.

For all the alien races, the existence of the Great Qian Dynasty was a stumbling block.

"Indeed, this kind of thing still needs the spirits to handle it," Qin Muye scratched his head. He couldn’t solve this problem on his own. His solution to such conflicts was usually simple: eliminate the person who created the problem or the person who proposed it. Either way, the remaining issues would be easier to handle.

One by one, the spirits were dispatched, using their ability to blend in and spread out from the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Soon, a steady stream of intelligence would flow in.

"Using spirits to replace these alien races isn’t impossible, but it’s only a temporary solution."

The true lineage of the Great Qian Dynasty was human. Qin Muye was not human, and the spirits were not human, so this wouldn’t meet the requirements of the Lord Era.

Qin Muye had thought about running away, but he found that the world was sealed. He could only leave if he met the requirements; otherwise, he couldn’t escape.

The Lord Era had generously cleared half of the causality in advance, but that didn’t mean there were no measures in place. Otherwise, Qin Muye could have shamelessly left without a care.
