But in response to Lao Le's words, he first looked up at the emperor sitting on the high throne, then turned his head to look at the old man behind him whose dress was out of tune with the surrounding splendor, and finally he did not dare to disobey and obediently moved a high-back chair.
Lao Le sat right opposite An Hong and was the only person sitting in the entire bedroom besides the emperor.
There was nothing wrong with this in terms of etiquette, because since the establishment of the central government, the emperor and the pope were nominally equal supreme leaders.
The entire bedroom was extremely quiet. An Hong just looked at Lao Le coldly without saying a word, as if he had lost the ability to speak.
Lao Le ignored his gaze and kicked out again, asking the housekeeper to move a small coffee table and a complete set of teapots and tea sets not far away. Then he made tea and drank it safely in front of everyone.
The directors and chiefs on both sides looked at each other. They all knew that if no one eased the atmosphere, the silence would last for a whole day. This didn't matter to Lao Le, but they couldn't accept that such important time was wasted at such a special moment! So , a chief of the Academy of Sciences bowed respectfully to An Hong, and then turned to Lao Le and asked carefully.
"Your Majesty, the central government is in such a mess because of the church. Why didn't you explain what would happen in advance when you sold the admission tickets to the paradise?"
Lao Le lowered his eyes, blew on the hot tea in the cup, took a sip, and then he spoke lightly.
"First, the church has never sold Paradise admission tickets. From the beginning, the Paradise Church made it very clear that they were prepared to raise funds for the subsequent Twilight Project testing. As long as a certain amount of donations are made to the church, they can be given away. This is not a sale, but a mutual gift."
"Secondly, before Paradise was sent out, the church clearly stated that the underlying structure of Paradise was inherited from Twilight. Paradise is the same as Twilight, and what will happen when entering Twilight is clearly written in the church's doctrine."
Lao Le's words made the entire bedroom quiet again. He put down the teacup, looked up at An Hong's pig head hidden behind the white gauze, and showed an undisguised sneer on his face.
"Look, even our respected Majesty has donated money to the church. Those who support Twilight so much must be very familiar with Twilight's core doctrines, right? Good people are good, and evil people are evil. This is the fairest truth, more fair than any law or dogma."
An Hong's ugly pig face had turned blue at this time. He held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, but he couldn't say a word! The director of the rehabilitation center quickly interrupted.
"But this matter involves the most basic rules for maintaining the normal operation of the world. You have forcibly inserted a new rule into the originally established order. This has a huge impact. If you are not careful, it will cause extremely serious consequences. Just like now, the consequences are already very serious. People in the entire central government are constantly transforming into beasts. If this continues, at least 10% to 20% of the people in this city will eventually mutate. This will cause huge turmoil, Your Majesty!"
Hearing his earnest advice, Lao Le remained unmoved. He just looked at the director of the Science and Rehabilitation Institute indifferently.
"If you were half as good at managing scientific discipline as you are at changing concepts, the Institute of Scientific Discipline wouldn't have fallen to the point where it is now suppressed by the Academy of Sciences."
"The reason why those beast-headed people appeared is not because of the evil they did, and they couldn't even pass the bottom line of Twilight? What does it have to do with the rules themselves?"
"Twilight's teachings are quite broad. Good people are rewarded with good things, and bad people are punished with evil things. Only extremely evil people who have committed unforgivable crimes will become livestock. But now there are so many beasts in the center. Is this a problem of the church, or is it your problem?"
His words were extremely straightforward, exposing the essence of the matter so blatantly that the things that the people in this bedroom had been avoiding before were laid out on the table.
People turned into animals with human bodies because of the Twilight Doctrine, but the Twilight Doctrine does not mean to turn everyone into monsters!
Such a change is essentially a punishment, a punishment for those who have committed unforgivable crimes! Now that the city is in turmoil over this issue, it proves that almost all the dignitaries in high positions throughout the central government are scum and scum! Even the emperor sitting on the throne is the same!
This is the most embarrassing and face-slapping fact! Such a question should have left everyone present speechless, but one person stood up and answered Lao Le's question directly without changing his expression.
"The Twilight Project was built hundreds of years ago by the first Pope, His Holiness Chen Pingyi. It is indeed the last line to protect human civilization and a treasure of the world. But just as science will progress, human civilization will develop, and society will move forward, the world is changing every moment, and many old things will be eliminated and discarded. This is also an indisputable fact."
"The Twilight Project has been proposed for so long, and the underlying rules of that world are still constructed according to the concepts of hundreds of years ago. This is obviously a bit out of date. The fact that the central government has become like this now is proof of this. Whether it is Your Majesty or the other nobles who have changed, they are all noble people with morals and integrity that we recognize. It is precisely because of their city that the world can be governed in an orderly manner."
"So, Your Majesty, you are wrong. The root cause of all the problems is still Twilight. Your Majesty and all the gentlemen and ladies are definitely not wrong. The only thing wrong is that Twilight's rules cannot keep up with the development of the current era."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Such words made everyone in the palace focus their attention on the chief of the science academy named Jiang Li. They were all shocked, and even An Hong was no exception.
None of them had expected that the truth could be told in such a variety of ways! But Lao Le laughed, and he laughed sincerely, praising him.
"You are so shameless, you can call yourself the best in the world at this!"
