Chapter 220 The Human Emperor Palace Is Not for Serving the Human Emperor (Happy Year of the Tiger) (Additional update for book friend Mr. Liu)
"Lu Pin, do you think there are any other requirements to become the leader of the Human Emperor Palace besides a neutral status?" Jiang Li asked calmly, his tone was flat, like a conversation between friends, but with an unquestionable momentum, like a boss examining his subordinates.
Due to the influence of the amplifying device, the sound on the stage was very loud, making it difficult to hear Jiang Li's calm voice.
However, Qi Tongxin felt that Jiang Li was the only one in the world, and the performance on the stage and the emperor were just a background.
Lu Pin also felt so, and he even felt tremendous pressure from Jiang Li.
"You also need to be loyal to the emperor." Lu Pin answered bravely, "In order to prove that I support you, I changed the original performance arrangement and temporarily added performance programs. In particular, I promoted the opinions you put forward through performances."
"So do you think people like to watch it?"
"One, I like it in general."
"Really? My spiritual sense tells me that after three performances, the number of audience members has decreased by 30%. Why don't you guess why these people left?"
Lu Pin didn't know how to answer this question.
Telling the truth is not an option, and telling a lie is certainly not an option. The only option is to keep silent.
"Answer me!" Jiang Li's voice suddenly rose an octave.
Lupin stammered: "They can't appreciate these performances."
"Who can appreciate it? Are there ordinary people who like to learn during the Chinese New Year? Your performance is only about propaganda and education. Who do you expect to watch it? Even I can't stand this kind of performance!"
“Art is aloof. It’s normal that most people can’t understand it.” Lu Pin held on tightly and refused to admit his mistake.
"Really? You think that's a compliment?" Jiang Li sneered, "No one likes to watch it, and you say it's art. Do you have a conscience when you say that?"
“Art is what the public likes.”
“As for those craftsmen who are still working during the Chinese New Year, let them finish their work before the New Year. Have they considered the practicality? Who will they be showing off to after they finish their work?”
"You...look."
"What's the point of showing it to me? Will it make you a commander?"
Lupin certainly thought so.
When he learned that he had become a candidate for the position of leader, he wanted to show Jiang Li the country he had governed well, to show that he was very talented and could serve as the leader.
So he asked the craftsmen not to go home and asked them to finish the work before Jiang Li arrived. In this way, when Emperor Jiang Ren inspected him, he would be able to see the clean and tidy Duochi Kingdom with wide roads, which would leave a good impression on Jiang Li.
But he suddenly learned that an official road in the territory of Duochi State had been completed. When he heard the craftsmen talking about the methods of that kind-hearted monk, he knew that this was at least something that could only be done by a cultivator in the fusion stage.
His intuition told him that the cultivator was none other than Jiang Renhuang.
He realized that this showed that Emperor Jiang Ren was dissatisfied with him, otherwise he would not have helped these craftsmen.
I made a big mistake!
So he waited for Jiang Li beside the stage in the royal city in advance, hoping to redeem himself in Jiang Li's bad impression through performance, and what he waited for really came true.
Jiang Li's temperament is too conspicuous, and it is not difficult to find him if you look carefully.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Renhuang had a passerby named Qi Tongxin, who kept saying how boring and ugly the performance tonight was, which made him so angry that he even wanted to kill someone.
How can the ignorant people understand the painstaking efforts of the lonely king! What are the shortcomings of tonight's performance besides being not funny! He argued, trying to say that the performance was good, profound and meaningful.
Qi Tongxin didn't think so, and to Lu Pin's despair, Jiang Renhuang didn't think so either.
"Lu Pin, do you think you can sacrifice the interests of the people just to please me?"
"Ask yourself, if you were a commoner, a mortal, would you be willing to be treated like this!" Jiang Li was furious. If such a person was allowed to enter the Human Emperor Palace and become the commander, there would be endless troubles.
The harm done by Lu Pin is comparable to that done by Dong Wuwei.
They never realized that the Human Emperor Palace did not serve themselves, but served Jiuzhou.
I have already cultivated to the Mahayana stage and do not need faith or resources. What can they do to help me? There is something wrong with their thinking.
What I need is not a flattering leader.
The five commanders all recognized this, and some even thought that they had done something wrong and pointed it out directly.
Although Jiang Li was later proved to be right.
Commander Liu gave himself three options, two of which were completely unqualified and one was barely unqualified.
Jiang Li suddenly felt what outstanding people his five commanders were.
It's not that he's just not smart and eats a lot, it's not that he likes pornographic things, it's not that he has a dark heart, it's not that he likes to show off in front of others.
They are all minor problems.

Commander Liu, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
This person is afraid of comparison, Jiang Li sighed.
"Lu Pin knows his fault." Jiang Li had said this. If he refused to admit it, he would be too ungrateful. He rarely saw Emperor Jiang Ren so serious and angry. He probably only had this attitude when he talked about the means left by the extraterritorial demons at the Jiuzhou Council.
When Qi Tongxin saw this scene, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
But then came fear. The Emperor had said that if His Majesty hated him, would he still be able to live until tomorrow? "If anything unexpected happens to their family, I'll hold you responsible." Jiang Li pointed at Qi Tongxin, giving him a life-saving talisman.
Lupin trembled.
He knew that from now on, not only would he not be able to attack Qi Tongxin, but he would also have to protect the safety of Qi Tongxin's family and prevent them from getting into any accidents.
"As for those craftsmen, it is their duty and job to work, but they should not do it during the Chinese New Year. You should ask them to go home quickly."
"yes."
Jiang Li was in a bad mood as he was supposed to have a good New Year, but this kind of thing ruined his mood. He left with his hands behind his back, feeling a little depressed.
The cold wind from high altitude blew on Jiang Li's face, and he was in a low mood. Suddenly, the remote communication symbol lit up.
"Palace Master, where are you now?" Commander Liu contacted Jiang Li.
"Something happened in eastern Kyushu."
Zhang Konghu popped his head out from the side and said, "Brother Jiang, let's go back to the Human Emperor Palace to celebrate the New Year. Everyone is here."
Commander Liu adjusted the angle of the communication symbol, and sure enough, the six commanders gathered in the Human Emperor Palace. The table was filled with appetizing sumptuous dishes, but the main seat was vacant.
"Yes, yes." Commander Huang, who suffers from depression, rarely smiled. "Kong Hu went back to his hometown in the Great Witch Country in advance to celebrate the New Year with Brother Jiang in the Human Emperor Palace. He will not go back this year."
"Didn't we agree not to tell anyone about it?"
Zhang Konghu became furious and pretended to hit Commander Huang. The place suddenly became chaotic and everyone burst into laughter.
"We don't have a family anyway, so we'll just stay at the Human Emperor Palace." Ma Zhuo and his wife laughed, "We'll prepare a New Year's Eve dinner for the two of us."
"Brother Jiang, you are the only one missing." Commander Mu said.
"Okay, I'll go back now." Jiang Li smiled from the bottom of his heart.
