His task, along with the other adults who were forced to work overtime, was to sort and categorize the memorials thrown at him by the tyrant, and then return them to the home of whoever wrote them.

Zuo sighed inwardly.

Everyone thought the tyrant was starting to reform, and they were quite happy to see the end of their suffering.

Judging from the speed at which the tyrant handles state affairs, it's obvious that he's not taking it seriously and is just going through the motions!

The other adults thought the same thing, and all of them had bitter expressions on their faces.

They dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

Zuo thought to himself, "That's enough. There are no discerning judges in the world. I'll hold on for a few more days, then I'll resign and take my wife and children back to my hometown to farm!"

As he was thinking, he opened the folded document, and his expression immediately froze.

The other adults felt a chill run down their spines.

No way, no way, could His Majesty have made a mistake again?

Several people quietly gestured to Zuo, wanting to get a look at the memorial.

Zuo didn't say anything, but simply distributed the memorials that the tyrant had reviewed to the group of people.

The adults, bewildered, opened the package and were also stunned.

How... how is this possible?

How could a tyrant who seized power by murdering his own king and advocated beheading and skinning every day have such benevolent and rational ideas?

The group found it hard to believe and continued reading.

The handwriting on the folded document was sharp and powerful, with a captivating and moving quality.

It says on it—

When the people are trustworthy, the army is well-equipped, and food is plentiful, then all is well.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world; the way to pacify the hearts of the people is to pacify the world.

Managers must lead by example, win people over with virtue, and be clear about punishments to ensure peace and stability.

Zuo and the other adults exchanged glances, and tears welled up in their eyes.

His Majesty is not a fool after all.

It seems that I can put my plans to go back to farming on hold for now.
