In the Zhongshu Mansion, the morning light overshadowed the lights in the room.
A breeze blew in from the window, sweeping away all the smell of smoke, leaving only a faint scent of rosewood.
Two people standing at different peaks looked at each other. One was a prime minister who was above ten thousand people and shouldered the responsibility of the world. If there was no reincarnation, he could be said to be a person standing at the top, above ten thousand people. Although he was not as good as the princes and emperors in ancient times, he was not far behind.
Li Yi is the pinnacle of power, the largest black hole in Shenzhou so far. Everything around him will be distorted, whether it is people, laws, society, or power, they will all lean towards him.
But such an existence has been hiding behind the scenes from beginning to end, as if it simply looked down on Shenzhou and had no intention of getting involved.
Prime Minister Pan Jun used to be most wary of immortals in the world. Although the state-guarding level was extremely powerful, there were still beings in the world that could restrain them. This was very important. Even if the government would not oppose the state-guarding level, and would even help them to surpass other cultivators, they still did not want the state-guarding level to be completely detached from the world.
Something that no one can check and balance is terrifying, and given the despicable nature of human beings, without shackles, people will inevitably act recklessly.
The above was what he had thought, but now he found out that he was wrong. People have subjective initiative, and we cannot use a rationality that is biased towards conjecture to guess about anyone.
Prime Minister Pan Jun was stunned for a while, then gradually calmed down, without much surprise or joy on his face.
"Immortal, you have come at a bad time."
"Really? Then I'll go."
As soon as he finished speaking, in a trance, the young man sitting opposite him disappeared, just like a gust of wind that blew in and will eventually leave. No one stopped him when he came, and no one came when he left.
It's puzzling.
Even Prime Minister Pan Jun, who had seen a lot of things in the world, was still confused by such a sudden move. However, he did not show any regret or remorse, but just laughed helplessly.
"He is such an unpredictable immortal. It would be great if all the practitioners in the world were like him."
People who practice cultivation pay attention to self-cultivation, but they are more concerned with self-cultivation and self-esteem. Most of them disdain to bully ordinary people, but their authority must and will crush ordinary people and crush them to pieces.
For example, Black Soil State has become a sectarian state. From the original 60% poverty rate, hundreds of thousands of people starved to death every year, to now, most people can basically have enough food and clothing. Those gangs that sell drugs and those bureaucrats who make money by selling out the country have all been killed.
Social order was restored under the powerful power of the monks, as if a god had saved the world.
But Prime Minister Pan Jun did not want this to happen to the people of Shenzhou, because they were already living in a prosperous era and did not need God to save them.
"It seems that you are really not afraid of death."
The Taoist in white suddenly appeared on the right side of Prime Minister Pan Jun, leaned down slightly and looked at him. His dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Do you think the formation here can protect you from death, or do you think the jade pendant on your body can withstand all attacks? The magic weapon that can withstand the Jindan stage is for the Jindan stage. It will cost you a lot of effort at most to use it on you."
"It's like this when you meet someone with more sophisticated means."
Li Yi stretched out his hand and directly grabbed Prime Minister Pan Jun's shoulder, but the protective magic weapon did not react at all.
“It’s useless.”
"People like you are a minority in the world after all." Prime Minister Pan Jun was not too surprised, or even frightened, by this scene.
"Since you are not afraid of death, then why did you take Zhao Si..." Li Yi was about to ask about Zhao Si when suddenly a flash of enlightenment came to his mind.
"You didn't adjust it."
"Your methods are awe-inspiring." Prime Minister Pan Jun expressed admiration.
The government has always speculated that immortals can know cause and effect, and that many things do not require much thought, and can get answers just by understanding the heaven and earth. Now it seems that the speculation has been verified, and immortals do have the ability to understand cause and effect and distinguish right from wrong.
He explained frankly: "The government wants to play both sides and use Zhao Si to test your attitude. If you make a move, we can sit back and reap the benefits. If you don't make a move, we can negotiate with those people and compromise and make concessions."
"It's nothing more than maintaining stability. Whoever makes trouble will benefit. Your actions can make the government both profitable and famous without having to pay too much."
This explanation did not contain any excuses, and was frank, unlike an official. The prime minister did not personally order Zhao Si to be transferred out to participate in this incident, but it could not be said that it had nothing to do with him, after all, he was in this position.
What Li Yi didn't expect was that the other party admitted it frankly instead of trying to exonerate himself.
He looked at the skinny middle-aged man in front of him and commented: "You have taken both the good and bad reputations. You, the prime minister, have become a daughter-in-law."
Faced with such an evaluation, Prime Minister Pan Jun was stunned for a moment, but then he thought it seemed to be true.
She is like a daughter-in-law, with her parents-in-law above her, her children below her, and a group of husbands to deal with in between. She has to take care of mortals, monks, Shangqing Palace, sects, and even factions within the six ministries.
"There are many people vying to be the daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that they can't manage the family well."
Prime Minister Pan Jun made a self-deprecating remark, then straightened his body and repeated solemnly:
"You haven't come at the right time. If you join now, you will only be trapped in the rush again. They will fear your name and your power, but in the final analysis, fear of power is not virtue. People die for money, and birds die for food. You should know this."
Some people placed their hopes on immortals, and even thought that as long as they spoke, no one in the world would dare to move. But Prime Minister Pan Jun thought that they were thinking too well, and thought too badly of those who practiced cultivation.
