Chapter 162: A Spectator of Change
Uyutei.
The most famous long-established restaurant in Inazuma Castle.
It is also one of the highest standard restaurants in Inazuma Castle.
It's perfect for entertaining guests.
On weekdays, not only ordinary citizens will have a few drinks on the first floor, but the upstairs box will often be reserved for some official gatherings, big businessmen gatherings and so on.
Even when Tianling pursues business cooperation with those foreign businessmen, he sometimes chooses to come here.
Lin Feng had already arrived early.
This time, there were only three guests: Ganyu Keqing and Yanfei.
The next thing to say is closely related to the contract between himself and Zhongli.
Hence the seriousness of the Lin style.
"It's rare to see that you won't be completely sure."
Eula, who had been in the embassy for a day, also came out.
Tonight, Zhongli and Lei Movie were not there, and she was finally able to speak openly.
"After all, this matter has something to do with Zhongli's contract."
Lin Feng smiled: "Although everything that should be done has been done, everything that should be said has been almost said." ”
"But these guys are a bit rigid in their brains, except for Yanfei, those two people are not small in their hostility towards me."
"And they're still in the same camp, and I'm the outsider."
"If one person loses his temper and doesn't listen to me, it's very troublesome."
Lin Feng's worries are not unreasonable.
Gods like Ray are hesitant in the face of reform.
Not to mention that these three can only be regarded as the rulers of the mortal world.
Even if Lin Feng said that he had a deal with the Rock King Emperor.
But there was no oracle from the Emperor of the Rocks
They may not dare to make such a decision.
This is also the reason why Lin Feng has been insisting on instilling in them the disadvantages of various businessmen governing the country, and even invited them to Inazuma even at the expense of being pitted by Yae Miko.
Only the more knowledgeable.
If you already have worries in your heart, you will be more likely to be persuaded.
"I've said so much and watched so much."
"Probably not."
Eula frowned slightly, and her tone was a little uncertain.
She has never been in contact with the right class, and she really doesn't know what to say.
She only knew that Lin Feng had been working hard for this matter for a long time.
This time, I don't have to deal with it by force as I did in Mondstadt and Inazuma, but it's almost worn out.
For this reason, he had to meet Thor again, the last thing he wanted to see.
If that doesn't work out.
Then I really don't know what to do.
The two were talking.
The door to the box was pushed.
I saw a solemn face of Gan Yuyan and Scarlet Qing, and the three of them walked in together.
Before coming.
The three of them got together and summed up what they had seen and heard today.
The more we discussed, the more frightening we became.
And they found out something else.
That is, before coming to Inazuma, they all had the experience of being found by Lin Feng.
Keqing and Yanfei travel back and forth in Liyue Harbor all year round, and it is normal for them to encounter forest winds.
The problem is that Ganyu has been in Yuehai Pavilion all the time, and I haven't seen her leave her post, so how did she also find her.
It's about the Emperor's contract.
Ganyu didn't say much.
can only simply say that she was invited by Yae Miko, and happened to bump into Lin Feng.
After figuring this out.
A few people looked at Lin Feng and what they had said again.
It's nothing more than merchants ruling the country and what will happen to Liyue if the Rock King is gone?
Ganyu's sentence that Lin Feng wanted to implement changes in Liyue made Lei Yanfei and Keqing unable to return to their senses for a long time.
knows that Lin Feng is quite favored by the emperor.
Through Ganyu's words, he quickly guessed that this was probably the emperor's order.
Now only Keqing, who was still in the dark, was quite skeptical of Lin Feng's intentions.
Said hello to Lin Feng.
Ganyu and the others sat down.
However, when it comes to seating, there are actually no seats at all.
Everyone was kneeling on cushions.
Compared to Liyue.
Inazuma's dishes are even more compact and delicate.
At the same time, Lin Feng also took care of the fact that Ganyu was only a vegetarian, and specially ordered several vegan dishes.
But no matter how delicious the meal.
Ganyu and the others were not in a good mood, and the three of them all looked at Lin Feng directly, waiting for him to speak.
Looked at.
Lin Feng didn't continue to say any nonsense.
He first waved his hand and set up a wind field to prevent eavesdropping.
Then he slowly spoke: "You have all seen the situation of Inazuma. ”
The three of them looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"How does it feel?"
Lin Feng asked.
After saying that, he ate and drank to himself, while waiting for their answers.
He looks relaxed.
There was no trace of the previous apprehension.
Hear this question.
There was a brief silence in the room, only the sound of Lin Feng eating and drinking kept echoing.
After a while.
Only then did Yanfei speak: "If you want to ask what you think of the current situation of Inazuma. ”
She sighed softly, "It's bad, it's bad. ”
"Compared to the stable Liyue, Inazuma's power is too bad."
"The law became like dung, and all men ignored it."
"It's hard to imagine."
"This is a land of gods."
Yanfei finished speaking.
Keqing also took over.
However, she did not express her opinion on Inazuma, but asked, "What are you trying to say when you came to us today?" ”
It was best for her to ask that question.
Ganyu already knew the answer, but she couldn't say.
Yanfei probably guessed that Lin Feng had made a big move, and she also knew that Emperor Rock favored him, but she couldn't guess what Lin Feng was going to do.
Only Keqing was always flustered in her heart.
Especially when Lin Feng's words were combined with Inazuma's observations, she was even more panicked.
After she asked the question.
Ganyu and Yanfei also pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.
"Heh, you asked me first."
Lin Feng took a sip of sake, smoothed the food in his mouth, and then shook his head and said, "You can talk about your own feelings first." ”
"Listen to me when you're done, the effect will be better."
Better results?
Yanfei and Ganyu's hands shook.
Keqing was also stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't answer his question, he even started eating and drinking again.
She said angrily but seriously: "I have the same opinion as Yanfei. ”
"But Inazuma's problems should actually be more than that."
"I heard you and that Yae Miyaji say that Inazuma is a pure hereditary system, right?"
Lin Feng nodded.
I was very satisfied that Keqing was able to see the nature of the trouble.
"Hereditary"
Keqing's mood became more and more complicated: "The hereditary system has given the ruling class too stable and huge rights, but no one can guarantee whether their descendants can guarantee the original intention of their ancestors. ”
"As for the one who should have suppressed their ambitions, it was the god of Inazuma."
"Just."
"Ugh."
"The gods of Inazuma."
"To be honest, if everyone weren't saying Raiden Shogun's name, I really wouldn't have imagined that the gods of Inazuma were still running the country."
Keqing finished speaking.
Ganyu did not make any comments.
only echoed: "My opinion is the same as Yan Fei Keqing." ”
Listen to them.
Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin on the table.
Then he sat up straight: "The situation of the gods of Inazuma is very special. ”
"The Raiden Shogun sitting in the castle tower right now is just a stand-in, not a true god."
"So you just pretend she's not there."
"In other words."
"Think of the Three Pillars as the Seven Stars of Liyue."
"Think of Thor's absence as the absence of the Rock King."
"Well, put yourself in their shoes."
As soon as this sentence came out.
Ganyu's face changed suddenly.
Raiden Shogun is a stand-in?
The gods of Inazuma are not there!?
Especially Yanfei, who had a guess, had an instant brainstorming in his mind.
All of his previous conjectures have been overturned.
If Thor wasn't there.
So who is the woman who walks with the emperor today?
And it's a secret story involving the gods.
Even an old half-immortal like Ganyu doesn't know about this kind of thing.
How did Lin Feng know!
"You guys seem to have a lot of questions?"
Looking at the drastic changes in the faces of the three of them, Lin Feng said with a smile: "I'll tell you the answer first." ”
"The reason I know this is because I've seen the real Thor."
"It's in the waters of Inazuma Yatsuma Island."
"At that time, she stabbed me four times with an unwanted knife, but I escaped."
"So I'll know about it."
"That's why I dare to admit unscrupulously that I have troubled Inazuma."
Implication.
He had already been punished by Thor and had spoken to the real Thor.
That's why he has no fear now.
Ganyu and the others gasped suddenly.
The fact that Lin Feng escaped Thor's four swords is recorded in the archives of Liyue's General Affairs Department.
It's just that the word doubtful is remarked at the end.
Because all the sources have so far come from Lin Feng and Eula's mouths, there is no eyewitness to testify to this.
Now he is emphasizing the matter again.
Plus his performance today.
None of them confirm that this is indeed true.
"That, the real Thor"
"Where is she?"
Ganyu asked worriedly.
She thought of the emperor who suddenly notified him a few days ago that he was going to Yunlaihai to suppress the demon god who was moving.
This will not be Thor.
If she also went to Yunlaihai, wouldn't it mean that Yunlaihai's movements were very terrifying, and she needed to be suppressed by the emperor and the thunder god at the same time.
"In a place far from the world."
Lin Feng didn't hide it from them: "She has been staying there since the Dark Calamity, and she hasn't come out for hundreds of years. ”
"I only used this Raiden Shogun outside as my stand-in."
"But this thunderbolt general is neither human nor god, except for guarding eternity, there is no second thought in his heart."
"Therefore, the Inazuma people have come up with many ways to bypass the general's control."
"This gives you the illusion that the gods are in power and don't seem to be there."
The people present did not react except for Eula, who had known about it for a long time.
The other three's brains were buzzing.
No wonder.
Inazuma's officials are so bold.
It is no wonder that the actions of the three major institutes are so arrogant and domineering, and even dare to ignore the majesty of the god of thunder and frantically trample on the laws of Inazuma.
"No, that's what you say."
"Some time ago, the Thor suddenly became angry and punished the head of the family who was pursued by the Heavenly Leader and the Survey."
"What's going on?"
Ganyu, who was the most thoughtful, quickly thought of a question.
If now this Raiden Shogun is just a stand-in.
Then why would she do such a degrading thing?
"I just said that."
Lin Feng squinted at Ganyu: "Because of my wanton destruction, the already erosive situation of Inazuma has become worse and worse, so the thunder god in the other space has been alarmed. ”
"For this reason, she even went after me personally."
"Senior Sister Ganyu, what do you say she will do when she returns to Inazuma and sees such a chaotic situation?"
Looking at Ganyu, it seems that there is still a problem.
Lin Feng added again: "Oh, by the way, after Thor finished killing people, he returned to that different space, which is why Inazuma is even more chaotic than before. ”
"If you want to ask her why she did it."
"Hmm, how do you describe it?"
"You understand that Thor is just a martial artist with extraordinary force, but it is precisely because of her outstanding strength that she tends to be very simple and straightforward when thinking about things, and does not think deeply about the consequences."
Just a martial artist.
This is not the same as the Thor in Ganyu's impression.
She also experienced the Demon God War, and the Thor at that time was a brave and resourceful image.
Whether it's the demon god who killed the entire Inazuma by force, or the powerful Inazuma who has been established in terms of resourcefulness.
No matter how you look at Thor, it shouldn't be 'just a martial artist'.
Ganyu vaguely felt it.
This seems to be another secret about the gods.
"Don't talk about that."
"Let me put you in your shoes, do you have any general ideas now?"
Lin Feng interrupted Ganyu and their conjecture about Thor.
He turned his head and asked the question again.
And this sentence.
Once again, the room fell silent.
Because there is no need to empathize with this matter at all.
The current Liyue Seven Stars are not much different from the original Three Pillars mentioned by Lin Feng, all of whom are seeking the benefit of Liyue.
But the real Thor disappeared for too long.
As a result, the hearts of Inazuma also changed with the absence of the gods.
If the Emperor of the Rock is gone, he is gone.
Liyue Seven Stars them
There's a good chance that it will turn out to be like this.
"To prevent this from happening."
"I helped Liyue draw up a reform plan, but it wasn't something I could do as an outsider."
As he spoke, Lin Feng handed over the three plans.
This was copied by Yae Miko after listening to her own words during the Narujin Taisha Shrine.
Afterwards.
Yae Miko also added many new measures to this reform plan through her own understanding.
This incident also gave Lin Feng a glimpse of the ability of the Yae Miko.
This fox has lived for more than five hundred years.
Not only did he accept the new things that Lin Feng talked about, but he also immediately relied on his own understanding to add many things that Lin Feng did not say.
After reading this thick plan.
Lin Feng was stunned.
It's just one night.
Yae Miko can see the advantages and disadvantages of feudal official positions very thoroughly, and can also supplement the details very well.
It is a plan for change that will be full of holes.
It was changed to a change plan that could barely be seen.
Despite the loopholes, the proposal seems to have been changed to a version that is common to both Inazuma and Liyue.
"This"
"What is this?"
Ganyu and the others had just finished reading the beginning, and their voices began to tremble.
Lin Feng calmly replied, "Liyue's change plan is to slow down the corruption of the upper echelons. ”
Change Plan.
But this is a plan for change.
It's just too disruptive.
So to speak.
If you follow this plan.
Liyue's entire hierarchy of power will be disrupted.
In the past, the situation of merchant governance was also changed to a new type of official system under the control of demi-immortals and immortals.
"Such a change."
Keqing, who knows the Seven Stars of Liyue and those big families best, is naturally very aware of the impact this incident will bring.
Almost all of the Liyue families will suffer as a result.
The seven-star system has been changed, and the original power departments have been split up.
This will definitely cause a fierce revolt from the current elite.
For these possible revolts.
Lin Feng's advice was.
Kill when you need to, don't keep your hands.
Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
In his words.
Those who oppose the new system are sinners who may harm Liyue in the future.
"This system."
"I beg your pardon, I can't accept it."
Although the change to the official system does seem reasonable, Ganyu does not approve of it.
Yanfei also does not approve.
Keqing even disagreed.
It's a simple killing word.
It is already heralding the blood that will be on the way to change.
Even if they knew that the emperor was the supporter behind Lin Feng, Ganyu and Yanfei still found it difficult to accept such a thing.
What's more, the emperor is still there now.
Liyue's system doesn't need such drastic reforms.
And so it was.
Lin Feng sighed secretly.
His fears were realized.
Even if you see the chaos of Inazuma, even if you know the thoughts of the Emperor Iwa.
But only as a secular power-holder.
Ganyu and the others still didn't dare to make this decision privately.
So Lin Feng used his last killer weapon to press the bottom of the box.
"Inazuma's Thor has agreed to this."
"Senior Sister Ganyu, Miss Yanfei, Miss Keqing."
"I know the doubts in your hearts."
"Well, now there is a country that is about to start doing this."
Lin Feng was like a demagogic bad uncle, and said with a smile: "You can live in Inazuma for three or five years longer and see the results of Inazuma." ”
"And then make a decision."
"And."
"Don't count on the Rock Emperor, he probably won't have that much time to manage Liyue in the future."
This exciting news shocked Ganyu and their brains down.
No wonder.
Lin Feng was always talking about what would become of Liyue if the Emperor of the Rock was gone.
Every time I met him, he repeated this phrase.
"Emperor, Emperor, he. What happened to him? ”
"Does the emperor have to be the same as Thor?"
"Is something happening to Yunlaihai?"
After a brief silence, Ganyu and the three of them began to ask anxiously.
Lin Feng patiently replied: "There has been a change in Yunlaihai, and the ancient demon god is about to break the seal, so the emperor needs to sit and consolidate the seal from time to time. ”
"So, do you understand?"
Hold it for so long.
Finally, I can tell the story with a false reason.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's a hassle to not have a sense of trust.
If they had told them that the emperor was not coming, they would have thought they were talking nonsense, and they would even refuse to talk to them again.
As for now.
With Thor as an example, this is more acceptable.
Well done, Ray Movies!
And Ganyu and the others finally relieved their hearts after hearing that it was not the emperor who learned from the thunder god and left it alone.
However, now that he knows that the Emperor can't always sit in Liyue.
After much thought, they made a decision.
That is to listen to Lin Feng's suggestion and take a good look at their new changes in Inazuma.
Make a decision when the time comes.
