Fantasyland: Oriental Morning Star

But before he could say goodbye, the emperor asked about other things about Keimei.

"I wonder if Mr. Qiming has already found a place to live?"

"This really hasn't been considered yet. "

Kaiming originally wanted to find a place to live, but what the emperor was going to say next Kaiming also guessed a rough idea.

If someone offers them free accommodation, why not?

Sure enough, the next words were the same as Qiming thought.

"Why don't Mr. Qiming live in the palace? "

Although the location is a little different from what Qiming thought, the problem is not very big. It's just that the emperor arranged a person he had just met into the palace in this way, and I don't know what he was thinking.

"As a cultivator, we pay attention to purity of mind and few desires, and only by finding a secluded place can we concentrate on cultivation. I'm afraid the Emperor's palace is not for me. "

Seeing that his retention was denied, the emperor was not angry, but said another place.

"There is a newly built courtyard not far from the palace, far from the downtown area, and I wonder if it can meet Mr. Qiming's conditions. "

"What the hell does the emperor want to do?" Seeing that the emperor was so generous to him, Keiaki believed that he must have a reason to do it himself.

"As the saying goes, I don't know if the emperor has anything to do with me?"

Seeing that Qiming agreed, the emperor first greeted him with a serious greeting.

"Mr. Keiaki has been wandering this land for a long time, so I don't know how he feels about Japan now?"

"Everything you see, what you hear, and what you say is a tragedy. Qiming said the scenery he saw along the way. People hurt people, people eat people, monsters hurt people... The tragic scene Qiming didn't know how many times he had seen it in hundreds of years.

Keimei would lend a helping hand whenever he could, but such a scene happened all the time in various parts of Japan.

Qiming is just a person, he is not an omnipotent god, even if he will make a move every time, but the effect is minimal after all.

And compared to humans killed by youkai. It's more about the intrigue between humans and humans, and in some poor places, people can take up arms and kill each other because of half a steamed bun.

"yes... As Mr. Keiaki said, it's all a tragedy!" the emperor at this time showed a sad expression.

"So the Emperor wants to ask me how to change this situation?" Qiming realized that what the Emperor said was not mixed with falsehood, and that he sincerely wanted to help the miserable situation of the people.

"That's right, Mr. Qiming is from the Tang Kingdom. "

"I guess Mr. Keimei, as a practitioner, also has his own opinions. "

"I want to refer to it from Mr.'s point of view, not to be as prosperous as the Tang Kingdom, but at least to make the people not suffer!".

Qiming felt a little troubled by what the emperor said, and he really didn't know much about governing the country. But with hundreds of years of experience, it is still possible to summarize some points.

Seeing that the emperor was indeed thinking about the people from the bottom of his heart, Qiming sighed and asked a question first.

"Does the Emperor Know the Real Reason for the Suffering of the People?".

"Is it because of the youkai?" "All the bad things that happened in this era can be blamed on the youkai, even if it is the emperor.

"There is a reason for it to be related to youkai, but it's not fundamental. "

What Qiming said is indeed true, most of the monsters have their own territory, and they basically don't break in on purpose, and the monsters rarely take the initiative to attack humans.

"Is there any other reason?" The emperor looked puzzled, and he couldn't think of anything other than youkai in the country he ruled that could make the people suffer so much.

Seeing that the emperor only knew about the suffering of the people but did not know the reason, Keimei was a little disappointed, but still told him the real reason.

"Nowadays, because of the dissipation of the aura of heaven and earth, the output of grain is not high, and there are even local corrupt officials who take advantage of this to loot people's wealth and raise taxes. "

"Because the people have neither money nor food, do you think they can only do things that block the road and rob them?"

"Are you saying that all my ministers are corrupt officials!?" Hearing Qiming's words, the emperor's face changed for a while, and he couldn't believe that any of his trusted officials would dare to do such a thing.

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, just pick a few nobles who have become rich inexplicably recently. "

Although Fujiwara Kyoto was prosperous, it was impossible for Keiaki to believe that some of the local officials below could have so much wealth. All the extra money out of thin air, you can know how it came from with the movement of your toes.

His face changed again, and finally after a heavy sigh, the Emperor believed Keimei's words.

As Qiming said, this kind of thing only needs to be checked to know. Because he believed the words of the corrupt officials, he blamed all the monsters for everything that happened, and those who were found out would never be spared!

The Emperor's gaze glowed coldly when he thought of this.

"Mr. Qiming, then what's next about the country..."

The Emperor wanted to ask more questions before he left, but Keiming shook his head and refused what he said.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, as the saying goes, you haven't even solved the corruption of your officials, so how can you solve the bigger things?"

"It's me who is anxious Mr. Keimei, so let Kondo take you to rest. "

The emperor thought about it for a while, and indeed, as Qiming said, now that he hasn't even solved the corrupt officials under his command, how can he talk about the major affairs of the whole country?

"Okay, then I'll take my leave of His Majesty the Emperor first. "

After saluting the emperor, Qiming was going to retire, and he still had a good impression of the attitude of the emperor of civil and military affairs, who was worried about the country and the people, and Qiming also planned to communicate with him at any cost.

...

"Mr. Keimei, this is your residence," Kondo took Keiaki to a quiet courtyard after being informed by the Emperor.

The courtyard is surrounded by powder walls, green willows hang around, three hanging flower gatehouses, and verandahs are copied on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other and dotted with mountains and stones. The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasure elephants, and a pool.

Walking along the stone path in the garden, Keiaki was amazed by the emperor's atmosphere, "Mr. Kondo, please go back and thank His Majesty the Emperor for the courtyard for me, I like it very much." "

After being told the identity of Keimei by the emperor, Kondo did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded to Keimei's meeting to bring the words. After Qiming's visit, Kondo said goodbye to Qiming and prepared to return to the palace to resume his life.

When Kondo left, Keiaki asked him to take all the maids with him, so that the courtyard could be considered a truly elegant and quiet place.

"Next, bring Qin Xin back. "Bai Lian and Meilian will stay in the temple for a long time in the future, and it is estimated that the emperor will already send someone to take them to the temple at this time.

Walking all the way out of the courtyard, Qiming searched for the spiritual power left on Qin Xin's body all the way. After about half an hour's walk, Keimei came to a temple on the edge of Fujiwara-kyo, near the houses of the people, which was filled with cigarette smoke.

At this time, the sun has set, Qiming strolls in the temple, listens to the deep and distant bells, and feels the scene of the poet's feelings when he falls off the list, which has a unique artistic conception.
