Chapter 715: A Solution to Offending Heaven
Chapter 715: A Solution to Offending Heaven
"So this heavenly disaster is actually a man-made disaster?"
In the imperial study, Huangfu Xing had a look on his face that said, "Are you messing with me?"
"We need to be more precise with our words. Whether it's me or She Fu, we don't belong to the human race in terms of species," Qin Muye said seriously.
"Is this a matter of species? I just sat on the dragon throne for one day, and Dad, you pull something like this. Tomorrow, I'll be offending Heaven." Huangfu Xing said with some helplessness.
Qin Muye was silent for a moment, considering whether to tell him about his plan to seal the Three Great Emperors, who could be considered as Heaven itself.
"This is easy to solve. I'll take care of it," Qin Muye finally relented.
"You're going to help me!" Huangfu Xing's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I plan to seal Heaven itself. This way, even if you offend Heaven, nothing will happen," Qin Muye said solemnly.
Huangfu Xing: "???"
Is this human talk? The normal procedure would be to help with disaster relief and management, not to seal Heaven. This is definitely not a normal person's idea.
"Thank you~ I never thought you'd have such a solution." Huangfu Xing felt quite exhausted.
Qin Muye's solution was indeed direct, eliminating the root of the problem. After all, if Heaven itself is sealed, there's no way to offend it. Apart from the fact that it offers no practical help, it's a pretty good solution.
"Hmm, you're welcome," Qin Muye said, lounging in a relaxed posture.
"You dealt with She Fu, but what about She Xi? With your broad-mindedness, you would let him go?" Huangfu Xing asked.
She Xi is still alive and will always be a threat.
"Leave him to you. It's just a small fry; if I had to deal with every minor issue, what would be the point of having you?" Qin Muye indicated that he only handled the big problems, and the small ones were not his concern. If Huangfu Xing couldn't handle She Xi, well, that was just too bad.
After all, it's not a big deal. Once She Xi recovers his strength, Huangfu Xing might not even have any ashes left, so there's no need to worry.
As for any trouble he might cause, it would be even easier to deal with. If Huangfu Xing really can't handle it, it would mean that the power of the Daqian Dynasty has waned, which would be many years in the future, and Qin Muye's mission would already be complete.
"Even you can't find him, how am I supposed to find him?" Huangfu Xing complained, but he didn't take it too seriously. Qin Muye's words confirmed that She Xi was no longer a major threat.
"So you have nothing to worry about now. Are you planning to come back and be the emperor? We can hand over the throne right now," Huangfu Xing suddenly changed the subject, thinking that if Qin Muye returned, he could abdicate and let Qin Muye take over, allowing him to go out and have fun.
The national fortune of the Daqian Dynasty also agreed, as Qin Muye being the emperor would bring more benefits than Huangfu Xing.
"Fat chance. I'm coming back as the Grand Emperor, the kind who plays and doesn't work," Qin Muye rolled his eyes and shifted to a more comfortable position.
"Dad, how high do you think the success rate of a coup to put you on the throne would be? If I use the excuse of offending Heaven to forcefully place you on the throne, you won't have a choice but to accept it," Huangfu Xing began to plan.
"Guess what happens after the coup. Do you want to be chopped into mush or into sauce before being revived?" Qin Muye said ominously.
This kid doesn't even know the full story of the historical events, just thinking about the easy way out.
"Let's not twist the true meaning of historical events. The 'candle shadow and axe sound' didn't involve eight hundred executioners, so how could anyone be chopped into mush?" Huangfu Xing didn't believe a word of it.
"Then let me put it simply. The entire court is mine. If you want to abdicate without my approval, how many will support you?" Qin Muye sneered. Just who does he think he is to try and run away? He has been sitting on the golden throne for seventeen years; there's no way he's going back.
"As long as I'm strong enough, I don't believe they will dare to defy their emperor and father," Huangfu Xing was determined to try.
Qin Muye just said that trying would mean death.
After a long argument, Huangfu Xing realized that compared to Qin Muye, he had no cards to play. He could only be tied down here as the emperor.
For most people, being an emperor would be a great joy, but for Huangfu Xing, it was different. Look at his father and brother; they are both completely detached from the world, while he is trapped by the rules. How could he bear it? He also wanted to go out and have fun.
Unfortunately, he was designated for the role.
Fortunately, there was a term limit. After reviving the Daqian Dynasty and grooming a successor, he could finally escape.
"By the way, what are you planning to do now? You dealt with She Fu, but shouldn't you be looking for that anomalous fortune body like your brother?" Huangfu Xing asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That thing is essentially the will of Heaven." Qin Muye didn't hide the truth and went on to explain his plans.
"You want to suppress the Imperial Fortune System and develop the Martial Path System?" Huangfu Xing frowned. As the emperor, from his perspective, it would be better to develop the Imperial Fortune System and support the Martial Path System.
For rulers, the Martial Path System was seen as less stable. Martial artists could break the law with their strength, kill officials, and flee, making it difficult for arrest warrants to be effective, especially if no one witnessed the crime.
On the other hand, with the Imperial Fortune System, as long as the Daqian Dynasty stood and the national fortune remained, the officials would hold a transcendent status.
Qin Muye's current actions, while not directly undermining the foundation, were certainly cutting the nation's lifespan short.
"You've adjusted your mindset after just one day on the throne. Not bad." Qin Muye praised him. This kid had the makings of a ruler, as expected from his upbringing. Although he was reluctant, he was quite dedicated to his duties.
"But if the Imperial Fortune System continues, it won't just be a problem for the Daqian Dynasty; it will be your downfall. Do you really want me to fight the Three Great Emperors again?"
"Even dealing with She Fu, which was a one-sided victory, caused such a huge disturbance. If I really fought the Three Great Emperors, do you think the Daqian Dynasty could survive?"
"Even if you want to maintain the status quo, now that the Three Great Emperors have gained She Fu's spirit and self-awareness, have you considered the consequences?"
Qin Muye asked several questions in quick succession, and Huangfu Xing fell silent. He had taken the Imperial Fortune System for granted because it benefited him, but now he saw it as a major threat.
"So, Dad, how confident are you?" Huangfu Xing finally asked.
"I don't know. I need to find the Three Great Emperors first to assess the situation. They are no ordinary beings." Qin Muye felt that these deities, akin to the laws of nature, were quite challenging, especially since they might now have minds of their own, unlike the pure rule-based logic of the Gendaya Mother Goddess.
From the current state of the Three Great Emperors, it seemed they had some degree of consciousness, though not much—just a bit more flexible than the Gendaya Mother Goddess.
This small amount of flexibility was enough to change the dynamics.
'Even if I seal them, I need to extract their consciousness. Otherwise, what if they break free?' Qin Muye decided to seal rather than kill, so he needed to be thorough.
The difference between a normal person and a vegetative state would affect the strength of the seal. The consciousness of the Three Great Emperors was related to She Fu's spirit, which he was still researching. The Ouroboros stone sculpture, a supreme sequence of She Fu, made the research easier, as it was composed of spirit.
"Tsk, that's quite a challenge. I thought you were planning to lie around in the harem." Huangfu Xing said.
"Speaking of the harem, I remember someone sent me a batch of people years ago. Did you take care of them?" Qin Muye suddenly recalled that he had once tricked someone.
"Back then, after you dealt with those alien noble families, the Black Hand arranged for the harem to be properly resettled." Huangfu Xing recalled, having only learned about this yesterday.
"So it looks like you can't inherit my harem and will have to recruit your own. What a pity." Qin Muye said with a hint of regret.
"Damn, what's so pitiful about that? I've heard of inheriting estates, but not inheriting widows." Huangfu Xing retorted.
"It saves you the trouble of finding your own." Qin Muye said with a straight face.
"That's not something to be saved. Besides, I haven't seen you being frugal in that regard." Huangfu Xing countered.
"I never kept a harem in the first place. I saved 100% by not buying one, making me much more frugal than you." Qin Muye pointed out that he had only done it to annoy someone and hadn't intended to maintain a harem, which was why he only thought about it now.
