Shangqing Palace, the headmaster's villa.
Although it is a residence of national importance, it is just a villa in the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, with an area including the yard of no more than 200 square meters.
Prime Minister Pan Jun dismissed his personal guards and walked into the villa. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he could see a handsome Taoist sitting under the shade of a tree not far away, waving at him with a smile.
He walked quickly towards her and bowed like a monk.
"Master Qingxuan, I am sorry to come to visit you."
As a regional leader, his status is now inferior to that of a state-level leader. Five years ago, the government could still issue orders to the state-level leader, but now the status has reversed.
Ever since the appearance of the immortal, he has allowed all secular temples to see the upper limit of the cultivators, and perfectly explained what individual power is.
People's minds are fickle, and the temple is not a monolithic entity. After seeing the top existence of the cultivators, many people will associate it with the strength of the state-guarding level, and then move closer to the other party.
Maybe the national defense level cannot reach the power of immortals, but it will definitely not be low in the future.
The trend of heaven and earth is irreversible, and the expansion of the power of the monks cannot be changed by personal will. The big men who can stand at the top of the pyramid are not stupid, and they all join the monks without any prior agreement.
If you want to continue to enjoy wealth and prosperity, you can only invest in the future.
The national defense level is the biggest backing.
Prime Minister Pan Jun did not join Taoist Qingxuan, but their relationship was not bad. On the contrary, they were like half friends.
Because the earliest cooperation between the immortals and the government was approved by Prime Minister Pan Jun, he was also one of the driving forces behind the national system.
If the representative of the immortal way is Qing Xuan, then the representative of the mortal government is Prime Minister Pan Jun.
Taoist Qingxuan said, "You can come anytime, Prime Minister, but I don't think it's just a simple visit."
"I want to ask the Taoist priest for advice, or rather, to plead for mercy." Prime Minister Pan Jun said straight to the point, "Nowadays, due to the backward construction of the temple and its subordinate departments, huge mistakes have been made, and naturally they must be made up."
"If you leave me alone, it's fine. I'm going to step down now. I can't say for sure what the next government official will do."
"So you want me to beg for mercy?" Qingxuan asked.
Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded helplessly.
"Haha, you guys." Qingxuan chuckled a few times, his expression looking a little more helpless.
"The Immortal Master is a man of his word. It's useless even if I go to plead for mercy. He won't pursue you, and he won't pursue you in the future, and he won't treat you differently."
Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded and said, "I believe this, but the people below will not believe it. The series of actions they have taken recently are more like a show of goodwill, waiting for some unrealistic memories."
"If the immortal doesn't speak, they will continue and eventually become neurotic. So I would like to ask the Taoist priest to comfort them. Your words will work."
The government suffered heavy losses this time, but as an excellent ruler, Prime Minister Pan Jun did not give up on himself. Instead, he took the opportunity to carry out an internal rectification.
But factions will always exist, and forming cliques is human nature.
Qingxuan thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"It's not impossible, as long as you don't make such a mistake again in the future."
"How can we avoid making mistakes?" Prime Minister Pan Jun asked, "The nature of the immortals must be criticized every once in a while. I am in a high position and I know the nature of most people very well."
"Those who are in power are not good people."
Qing Xuan shook his head again and said, "That's why I said you don't understand the Immortal. The Immortal has lived for more than 5,000 years and has long been accustomed to human nature. He can tolerate and understand human nature, and he can even leave some leeway for human nature."
The tolerance for corruption, with 90% public and 10% private, is the leniency that the immortals leave for human nature.
It's not that you can't take a single point, nor can you use a single power. As long as you don't cross the bottom line, the Immortal Palace will always turn a blind eye.
"If you absolutely obey the orders of the immortal, you will never make mistakes?" asked Prime Minister Pan Jun.
"Yes and no."
Qing Xuan shook his head and said, "The Immortal said that peace in the world cannot be supported by me alone, but people will only remember the first place. I wondered if I was Qing Tian, so I went around the world and found that I was not."
"Most of the problems were not solved by me, but by chivalrous men, good officials, and countless people with conscience. I think my greatest contribution is to prevent them from bleeding because of their conscience."
Qingxuan repeated what he said back then.
Even today, when he revisits these words, Qingxuan can still feel the great wisdom contained in them and truly see through the world.
There used to be the Sword Sect in troubled times, there were the Immortal Sect in floods, and now there are also good people like the former criminal police and current company agent.
There is never a shortage of good people in the world, but good people don't live long.
If there were no good people like these, when everyone could not distinguish between good and evil and took glory in doing evil, even the immortals would be unable to stand alone.
Would the world be peaceful if there were no immortals?
The answer is yes, but it will require a lot of blood and countless failures to gain a brief peace.
Preventing good people from bleeding is what the immortal considers his greatest achievement.
Prime Minister Pan Jun was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Sometimes being a good person is the highest requirement. It is better to let the temple strictly abide by and satisfy the orders of the immortals."
He considered himself a good person, but he did not believe that all future people in power would be like him.
"Many people thought so at that time." Qing Xuan could not deny it, and then asked, "Learning from history, Prime Minister, would you like to hear about a period of history in the cultivation world, after the flood of the immortal way."
"Perhaps when you see the era under the rule of the Immortal, you won't be so scared."
After the great flood, the human race began to enter a new era under the governance of the Immortal Palace.
