This is a story about relying on clones to cause trouble, seize resources, and seek immortality.
Clones suffer, they're either causing trouble or on their way to cause trouble.

Qin Xu was still looking at the case files and accounts brought over by the Ministry of Works late at night.
This is a rare sight when he is working seriously.
It seemed as if he had found some feelings from his previous life.
If the Ministry of Industry’s cases are to be handled as major ones, they must be handled beautifully.
This is a technical job.
He sorted out a piece of information, stretched, and nodded with satisfaction.
These things are enough.
The next morning, he dressed neatly and brought with him all the inspectors, doctors and assistant doctors of the Censorate.
Looking at this scene, everyone knows that Lord Qin is going to do something big.
They were somewhat excited.
The purpose of these monks' existence is to stir up trouble, to stir up trouble for the Holy Emperor. The bigger the trouble, the better they are doing.
If you are good, I am good, and everyone is good, then they will not be good.
On this point, they strongly agreed with what Lord Qin said.
"My Lord, everyone is here."
"Okay, let's go to the Ministry of Industry!"
The imperial city had been keeping a close eye on the people in the Overwatch Council, and had discovered something strange about them early in the morning.
The attic shops on both sides of the road saluted the inspectors.
The second floor of a restaurant.
"What's going on?" A young man from a noble family ran up hurriedly.
"I don't know. The inspectors were called back in the morning, so I came here to keep an eye on them."
"Damn it, the older generation always said that whenever there was a fight for the throne, there would be chaos. I used to be dismissive of it, but now I know it's too damn dangerous."
"Yes, the Feng family is gone before the truth is revealed."
"Hmph, it's the one above who's showing it to us noble families."
As he was speaking, he saw Qin Xu walking out with a group of monks from the Supervisory Academy.
"Here I come."
"Oh shit, what a big deal, who is it this time?"
"From this direction, it seems to be heading towards the Government Affairs Palace?"
"Someone come."
"Young Master," a monk dressed in tight clothes came forward.
"Go follow them and see where they go."
"yes."
After everything was arranged, the two young men from aristocratic families sat down.
"This Qin guy is too troublesome."
"It is said that they are the Ninth Prince's men."
"Doesn't the Holy Emperor dislike the Ninth Prince? Why would he arrange for his people to be assigned to the Overwatch Council?"
"Do you want to touch it?"
"My family wants us to wait a little longer, so that people won't think we are going to board the Ninth Prince's flying boat."
Qin Xu seemed to have attracted the attention of the entire imperial city today.
"Sir, there are several monks following us."
"Let them follow."
His purpose today was to make things bigger and establish the great reputation of Qin Xu.
At the gate of the Ministry of Works.
Qin Xu stopped.
He looked at the gate of the Ministry of Works with indifference.
A gatekeeper ran in in panic, disaster was about to happen.
The Supervisory Commission came with a large group of people.
The monks from the Ministry of Works were mentally prepared. When several minor officials were taken away, they anticipated that the day would come when the Supervisory Council would come to visit.
Colleagues in the same courtyard cannot hide anything.
Who doesn't know who?
Those who have a good relationship with those people have been feeling a little uneasy these days, wondering whether there was any dealings regarding spirit stones during their daily interactions.
Those who had bad relations with those people were gloating and happy to see them in trouble. After all, they were the ones who ate the grease and did not get any benefit at all.
If you eat alone, people will hate you.
But no one could have imagined that the Supervisory Commission would be such a big deal.
"Surround the Ministry of Works!" Qin Xu waved his hand, and the monks of the Supervisory Council took action.
With a flip of his hand, a list appeared in his hand.
He handed it to the doctor next to him.
"Arrest the people according to the list. If there is one missing, you will be held responsible."
"Yes." The doctor was full of energy, despite Lord Qin's harsh words.
But this is a real achievement.
This is because Lord Qin values him.
He led the inspectors into the Ministry of Works and arrested people by name.
Qin Xu also walked inside slowly.
"Master Qin, you are so majestic."
The voice of Minister of Works Duan Hongsheng came from the inner hall.
Many uneasy officials in the Ministry of Works now had a backbone.
"Minister Duan, this is wrong. I, Qin, have received the grace of the Holy Emperor. Even if I am a little majestic as you said, it is the majesty of the Holy Emperor. I just borrowed a thread."
Duan Hongsheng walked in front of Qin Xu.
After hearing what he said, there was no way to worry about whether it was impressive or not.
How can you always bring up the Holy Emperor?
No martial ethics.
"It seems that Lord Qin has a clear understanding of himself. I wonder what case you are here to handle in my Ministry of Industry today?"
After being choked, Duan Hongsheng, the old fox, did not show weakness and made a sarcastic remark in return.
Without the Holy Emperor, you are nothing.
"I'll have to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Works. The Holy Emperor trusted you and handed the Ministry of Works over to you, but you ended up making a mess of it."
"absurd!"
At this moment, there was a noise coming from the side hall and the wing rooms.
It turned out that an assistant minister of the Ministry of Works was arrogant and had a conflict with the monks of the Supervisory Council.
The minister was escorted out by the inspectors in a very embarrassed manner and was about to walk out.
Seeing Lord Duan Hongsheng in the main hall, he shouted for help.
"Qin Xu, how dare you? You took my minister away without my superior knowing?"
Qin Xu looked at Duan Hongsheng calmly and waved his hand to signal him to take him away.
Seeing that Qin Xu ignored him, Duan Hongsheng signaled with his eyes.
Some monks from the Ministry of Works blocked the gate.
Qin Xu turned around and looked at Duan Hongsheng with admiration.
"You are very courageous."
"Humph, the laws of the dynasty must be followed even by the Overwatch Council. You arrested people without any evidence and did not inform your superiors. I will report you for any of these offenses."
Qin Xu took out the Holy Emperor's talisman.
"The emperor has granted special permission to investigate corruption and eradicate bribery, to execute first and report later, with no taboos."
"Why, Master Duan, do you want to object?"
Duan Hongsheng is numb. What's wrong with this guy?
He always brings up the Holy Emperor. Don't you even bother to follow the rules of being an official?
Shouldn't it be time to bring out the imperial laws and have a debate?
"Of course I wouldn't." Duan Hongsheng's back teeth were broken after biting them.
He waved his hand and asked his monks to make way.
The doctor from the Supervisory Council nodded at Qin Xu, walked out, and selected a few people on the list from the cultivators who had just blocked his way and took them away.
"Qin Xu, what exactly are you going to do? My Ministry of Industry is of great importance. If you have arrested so many people and this has an impact on the dynasty, you will be guilty of a heinous crime."
Duan Hongsheng's tone softened. Such a big move must not have been decided by Qin Xu himself.
There must be someone supporting behind this.
Did he scold the Censor in the court last time? Did the old man bear a grudge?
No, this isn't the first time I've criticized him, and he's not the only one who has criticized him.
Or is it that the Ninth Prince has his eyes on some position in the Ministry of Works?
Just go and tell him directly. The noble family is gone, and he still has the guts to stop you? Why make such a big fuss?
"Master Duan, I think it is necessary to remind you that this Ministry of Works belongs to the Holy Emperor, and these officials are not your officials, but officials of the imperial dynasty. I hope you can be careful with your words and actions in the future."
Duan Hongsheng's face changed. Qin Xu was at it again, mentioning the Holy Emperor all the time.
This boy is either very loyal or very treacherous.
After Qin Xu finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Then, as if he remembered something, he turned around to look at Duan Hongsheng, whose expression had changed, and spoke again.
"Master Duan, please eat more good food recently."
Duan Hongsheng looked at Qin Xu's back and was furious.
"What do you mean? Huh? What does Qin Xu mean?"
He felt a little uneasy, but there was an unspoken rule that was deeply rooted in his mind.
The Shangshu shall not be punished.
Apart from interfering in the fight for the throne, the Shangshu and the ministers and elders will not be punished for any corruption or injustice.
There is no precedent.
It is also the tacit understanding between these ministers and the Holy Emperor.
As long as the normal operation of the dynasty is maintained and as long as one does not interfere in the power struggle within the royal family.
They are almost in no danger.
The transfer of power is usually relatively gentle.
But he seemed to smell something unusual in Qin Xu's words.
But thinking of the tacit understanding among everyone, he stopped thinking about it and became angry at Qin Xu, a new official, for offending him.
Soon, the news that Qin Xu broke into the Ministry of Works and captured nearly half of the people spread throughout the imperial city.
