Simply go back and eat a free dinner, after all, whoring makes people happy.

Returning to Yujingtai, the entrance to the square is closed, and no one is allowed to enter until tomorrow to invite the Celestial Ceremony to begin.

Qian Yanjun's eyes never let go of any passers-by, staring at Xia Tian's scalp numb, and hurriedly quickened his pace.

Going up the stone steps, at the gate of Yuheng's mansion, unexpectedly met Ke Qing.

She was talking with "Little Rain" from the General Affairs Department, her beautiful eyes were full of displeasure, her brows were raised, and she was quite emotional.

"Emperor, emperor, you talk about emperors all day long. If you say something bad, does emperor really understand everything?"

The Emperor Yanwang brought prosperity to Liyuegang, and his reputation for ruling the world was turned into a biography of romances.

However, as one of the people closest to the gods, Ke Qing seems to be the one who lacks the most fear.

Thousands of years of history have proven that it is the right move to follow in the footsteps of the emperor, but she always believes that being born as a "people" should have the pride of "people", and the idea of ​​"people" should also be valued.

Therefore, Keqing often expresses opinions that are different from those of the emperor, and puts them into practice immediately.

Such a radical approach has indeed achieved many outstanding results, but it has also attracted objections from many devout followers of Yanwangdijun.

In Ke Qing's view, this kind of objection is nothing more than an excuse for laziness - accustomed to living under the protection of gods, and will never take the initiative to think about the future of mankind.

But there is always someone who has to be at the forefront of the times and create a new path with his own hands.

Yuhengxing, of course, does his part.

Xiaoyu from the General Affairs Department came to her to discuss the reason for attending the ceremony tomorrow, but Keqing did not want to attend.

For this reason, voices such as "we should respect the emperor", "the emperor's decision is very important" and "the emperor only comes once a year" were born.

This made Ke Qing very disgusted: "The Liyue ruled by the emperor is not the Liyue I expected."

Xiaoyu's eyes were worried, and she deliberately lowered her voice: "Lord Yuheng, slandering the emperor like this is going to be controversial!"

In the eyes of many people, Ke Qing became one of the seven stars at such a young age, because of the glory of the family, and because of the credit of possessing the eyes of God.

And all of this was bestowed by the emperor, and Ke Qing was extremely opposed to this statement.

Hearing footsteps in the distance, the two stopped arguing.

Xiaoyu knew that she should not discuss the emperor's affairs in front of outsiders, so she bowed and said goodbye: "Nothing else, I have to go back and report to Lord Tianquan, so I will retire first."

Keqing's anger was still unsteady, and she noticed that Xia Xia walked in, but she didn't want to take care of it, so she didn't take the initiative to say hello.

The few times we met, it should be regarded as half a friend.

Xia Tian leaned over cheekily and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, I lost my way." Ke Qing took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and showed a business-style smirk: "Have a good rest today, and tomorrow's invitation to Xian Dianyi will be at ten o'clock in the morning, don't miss it."

"Aren't you going?" Xia Xia was puzzled. As Liyue Qixing, the most important invitation, Xian Dianyi, was not present.

In my memory, it seems that there is no Keqing in the invitation to Xiandianyi.

Ke Qing stroked her ponytail, Qiushui bright eyes: "I'm not going, it's just adding trouble to myself."

After speaking, he was ready to leave.

The next words may have unknown effects, but Xia Xia still said: "You seem to hate the emperor?"

Keqing stopped and remained silent for a while before answering: "It's not a dislike, nor a liking, but Liyue has been silent for too long and needs a change."

The current prosperity of Liyue Port is like a magnificent sand castle on the beach, which may be easily destroyed by the tide at any time.

And it is not human beings who decide whether the sea is high tide or not.

"Liyue is becoming more and more prosperous, isn't the emperor doing a good job?" In the summer, I only saw two cities, Liyue and Mond.

The two countries are completely different styles, they both have a happy side and an unfortunate side.

Barbatos' laissez-faire has allowed Mond to be ravaged by monsters and nobles several times, and his current freedom is built on the flesh and blood of many people.

And Morax's control has allowed Liyue to live and breathe for thousands of years, and it has become a pivotal part of Tivat.

But the heavy burden makes every Liyue people live in fatigue, as if there is such a string, and a little more pressure will break.

Keqing was born in a famous family. She has a deeper understanding than most people about the influence of Yanwang Dijun on the people of Liyue.

There was a little silence again, and Ke Qing looked at Xia Xia with some hesitation.

"The man in front of me is Liyueren, maybe he can understand himself better!"

With this thought in mind, she spit out her doubts and worries: "The emperor has guarded Liyue for a thousand years, but will the same be true in the next thousand years, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years?"

The deepening of the topic made Xia Xia serious: "Are you worried about the emperor's betrayal of Li Yue?"

Ke Qing did not answer directly, it was a default: "Liyue Qixing keeps an eye on the big and small things in the port at all times, but the Emperor Yan only comes once a year. If the emperor no longer performs this duty one day, what will Liyue do?"

Compared with the people of Liyue who devote themselves to Liyue, the "hard work" of the emperor once a year is equivalent to betrayal.

As a leader, you must pay more than the people, so that you will not be disappointed.

Ke Qing thinks so, but her ideas and concerns cannot be supported by the majority.

In the eyes of others, the life of a mortal is only a moment in the history of Liyue, so why worry about nothing.

Ke Qing believes that this lazy and cowardly idea negates the existence value of the entire human race.

If human existence has no meaning, why are they loved by God?

With the feeling of hating that iron cannot become steel, she bravely chose to question - questioning the doting of emperors, questioning people's laziness, questioning how society works.

Things related to the fate of mankind should be done by human beings.

And, human beings can definitely do better!

From these words, Xia Xia can feel Keqing's feelings for the people of Liyue... It's just that this feeling may be too paranoid and unaware.

He tentatively asked, "Would you be happy if Emperor Yan disappeared one day?"

Keqing didn't think about it: "The emperor disappeared? How is this possible? He has guarded Liyue for thousands of years."

Even if the emperor abdicates and leaves Liyue to Qixing to take care of it, he will not be able to disappear.

Ke Qing was convinced of this.

Xia Tian went a step further, and he was only half a meter away from Keqing, and he could smell the fragrance and sweat of hard work: "If the emperor disappears, the people of Liyue can truly realize that it is their own efforts that have brought the prosperity of Liyue. , in order to better change and develop... Is this what you want?"

Ke Qing took a step back politely, and there was self-examination anger in her bright teeth: "What do you mean? How did the emperor disappear?"

"Ke Qing, have you ever imagined the day when the emperor disappeared?" Xia Tian seemed to have spent a lot of effort to say it.

Keqing wants to change, and wants to change Liyue from sanity to rule of man.

But she hasn't clearly realized... She never thought about the disappearance of the emperor.

Even though it took generations of people's efforts to get rid of the emperor's dependence, Liyue changed from divine rule to human rule...

But as long as the emperor is still there, even if the reform fails, Liyue will not fall into collapse, so she dares to make a drastic change.

Xia Xia wanted Ke Qing to understand this, that she never hated the emperor in her heart, and she didn't need to oppose the emperor.

If the emperor disappeared... This question echoed repeatedly in Ke Qing's heart.

If the emperor leaves, Liyue's reliance disappears, and after her so-called reform fails, who should restore the uncontrollable situation?

Keqing always arranges everything properly, and even withdraws and predicts what will happen in five years...

And at this moment, Xia Xia's idea made her suddenly realize...

It turned out that what she called the change of abandoning the emperor was because of the existence of the emperor, so she dared to make changes.

"I'm relying on the emperor... So I'm the one who relies the most on the emperor? All my plans stem from the existence of the emperor..."

Yes, she thinks she hates the emperor, everything is compared with the emperor... It comes from the dependence on the emperor.

"This matter... what will the emperor do? I can do better than him."

"The emperor's method is inefficient. I can think of a better method."

"The agreement that the emperor made ten years ago...I'll take a look."

Thinking back carefully, it turns out that she has always lived under the influence of the emperor... She is the one who can't get rid of the emperor.

As if the desolate star in my heart has fallen, so that my hands and feet are cold.

She quickly took two steps back and supported the wall.

Ke Qing looked at Xia Xia and couldn't let go: "Why do you ask me this? Does this assumption make any sense?"

A series of mental activities made the time move forward by five minutes.

Xia Xia couldn't guess Ke Qing's thoughts, but at least the goal has been achieved. At least she will be prepared for tomorrow and the departure of Emperor Yanwang in the future.

"Maybe what you are looking forward to will be realized in the near future, much earlier than you expected, so it is not a bad thing to prepare in advance." Xia Tian touched the back of his head and smiled.

"You..." Ke Qing was speechless for a while, and finally spit out four words: "Thank you for reminding me."

She still needs some time to digest the various thoughts in her mind just now.

"Although I'm not from Liyue, it may be strange to say this, but..."

Xia Xia was a little shy and looked around, but finally she mustered up the courage to look at Ke Qing.

"Please believe that no matter what choice you make, there will be many people who will support you, so... I'm looking forward to seeing Liyue Port in the new era."

After speaking, look up at the sky, look at the people, Xia Xia walked by Keqing.

He left a sentence: "Please see Xian Dianyi."

Chapter 200 The Seven Stars Invite the Celestial Ceremony

Invitation to the Immortal Dian Ritual, the full name is "Seven Star Invitation to Immortal Dian Ritual".

Every year, one of the seven stars of Liyue will burn incense on Yujingtai to welcome the "Yanwang Dijun".

Last year, it was "Yuheng Xing" Ke Qing. She contradicted the emperor, which made the scene at that time unpleasant, and once made the people's emotions out of control.

And this year, it was hosted by "Tian Quan Xing" Ningguang. Even if she was slightly dissatisfied with the emperor, she, who paid attention to the scene and manners, would prepare the ceremony in an orderly manner.

Several rock-colored flags fluttered high in the wind, and the nearly five-meter-high Qingyun cauldron burned the bamboo charcoal of Qingcezhuang.

The emperor liked the scent of the bamboo charcoal after burning out, which led to many rumors on the street that "the real identity of the emperor is actually the demon fox of Qingcezhuang."

Like a reincarnation, every few years, after the ceremony of the immortal ceremony, Liyue's business world will experience great turmoil.

Dijun's newly announced decision always makes several families happy and some sad.

The poor look forward to taking this opportunity to make a fortune, and the rich pray that the change in the wind will not affect their property.

Compared with the consideration of economic construction, businessmen are more keen on faith-based investment.

The emperor's divine power is powerful, and he can rely on him to live without worries.

In the current Liyue, this choice is understandable.

But it has been several years, and the emperor's policies have been tepid, which made everyone look forward to this year.

The vast square was crowded very early, and as an opportunity to admire the emperor's demeanor at close range, it should be a passion.

It's an interesting phenomenon. Among the crowded crowds, there are more foreigners than locals, and almost all of them are businessmen.

Are they here with respect for the emperor, or are they chasing subsequent interests?

Most of all, there is probably Ningguang's fan group, just to see Tianquan.

"Wow, there are so many people!" Mona also participated in the ceremony for the first time, and was rendered by this lively scene.

The passive skills of astrology flooded her mind with a lot of information, which made her feel a headache, but it was not enough to join in the fun.

"Let's go a little further, we won't be able to see anything behind!"

Mona and Xia Xia intertwined their fingers, afraid of being separated.

I wanted to go forward several times, but I couldn't squeeze in, so I had to go to the relatively high stairs behind.

Around the square, there are several incense burners, and many people are visiting.

Mona staggered and almost bumped into someone.

She is an ordinary girl from a folk family. She prays devoutly in front of the incense burner.

Seeing Mona dressed up as a stranger, she greeted with a smile: "Do you also want to come here to get some "immortal energy"? If you make a wish on this day, the emperor and ancestors will bless you. "
