Chapter 206 The Strategies of a Prosperous Nation
Ding!
Passing by Yan Ying's grave, memories flooded back.
[A man of great talent, born into a lowly official family, died quietly in the midst of strife simply because of his humble status.]
Fifty years after Yu Yanying's death, half of his book, "The Strategies of a Prosperous Nation," was finally made public, shocking the world.
[With just this half of a wondrous text, the opponents established a celestial kingdom a hundred times more powerful than any before.]
Even the Demon Lord, who was invincible throughout the world, suffered losses multiple times in these immortal kingdoms.
[If we can obtain the "Strategies of a Prosperous Nation," we can improve upon it.]
Not only will you be able to create a more powerful immortal kingdom, but the extra official power will also benefit all realms, attracting living beings to inhabit them.
[If this continues, you will no longer be a demon lord, but a founding sage ruler!]
[Mission Difficulty: Infinitely High]
[Quest Reward: "The Immortal Record of the Dragon's Nest"]
Su Yun remembered Yu Yanying, a minor supporting character with zero screen time in the early stages.
However, in the later stages, because it was necessary to strengthen the power of the Chosen One, half of the "Prosperous Strategies" was created in the plot.
This extraordinary official document, a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, instantly elevated the power of all sectors to a new level.
The "Prosperous State Policy" uses the principles of harmony and balance to define the duties of officials of all ranks and the tasks they must perform each day, month, and year.
To enable a country to function perfectly, like a sophisticated machine.
Its internal affairs are minimized, a suitable system of rotation and promotion prevents society from becoming rigid, and the fluid national destiny will always flow to where it is needed.
Under this near-perfect governance policy, each country grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of extraordinary people emerged, resisting the demon army.
In order to make this system scalable, only half of the "Sheng Guo Ce" was published.
However, its author cannot be resurrected because he was involved in too much cause and effect.
In the story, the Demon Lord is unable to obtain the "Prosperous State Policy".
And now, the author of this earth-shattering work stands right in front of me.
Upon hearing his name called, Yu Yanying turned around and bowed, saying, "Young Master Su."
Su Yun said directly, "Then let me ask you, are you writing a national policy?"
Yu Yanying was taken aback: "Yes, but... it has been years since I made any progress."
He wondered why he was writing an article but got stuck and didn't know how to start, and that's how he ended up putting it off for years.
I don't know how this child found out.
Su Yun realized: "Because it wasn't finished, there was no aura of the book?"
Once a great article appears in the world, the scholarly atmosphere of Confucianism will be shaken, and the whole world will know that a remarkable article has appeared.
If it is a policy of governing the country and ensuring the well-being of the people, it will cause fluctuations in the nation's destiny.
Even before it was implemented, it had already accumulated to a great extent, as thick as condensed clouds.
Su Yun said directly, "If possible, I'd like to take a look."
"I can give you some advice."
He wasn't exaggerating; he had maxed-out comprehension and reading comprehension.
Even if you don't want to finish the second half, providing some ideas wouldn't be bad.
The national policies of this world are not just about overall planning, but are actually linked to real energy!
Yu Yanying, being straightforward, immediately nodded: "Yes, I'll go back and get it."
He didn't realize how important his writing was; since someone wanted to read it, he simply accepted it.
Xiao Erke scoffed: "Do you know how difficult it is to write national policies?"
"It really does look quite professional."
If Yu Yanying were truly talented, he wouldn't just be a fifth-rank physician.
Even if I don't have a rank now, I can still achieve the highest honors in the imperial examinations, and my future achievements will be beyond the reach of these people.
As for Su Yun, although he was ranked first by the academy, everyone knew that it was only because of his talent.
There is a gap between talent and true ability, and ten years of hard work.
This mediocre official and a child just beginning his education can really have a great conversation.
Xiao Erke just found it funny.
At least in this respect, he far surpasses both of them!
Jun Youlan waved his hand to stop him: "Alright, you're very talented, don't take it personally."
He knew Xiao Erke's talent; that "Memorial on Governing the People" was undoubtedly the greatest memorial of all time.
The soaring scholarly atmosphere and the solid national destiny, as imposing as mountains, are the evidence.
Dai Zui has now regained some of his senses: "Lord Jun, what should we do now?"
Jun Youlan gritted her teeth: "I'll go and report to the Emperor."
We've already provoked them, whether we should or shouldn't have, so now we need to strike first.
This would give the emperor a preconceived notion that the Confucian, Taoist, official, and military factions were all secretly trying to connect with Su Yun.
The imperial family dislikes forming cliques and favors the system of checks and balances.
Even if these people are capable and have status, they have still overstepped their bounds.
If you can get ahead in one step, you can get ahead in every step.
Even if this kid isn't punished, he can still get away safely.
Dai Zui's eyes lit up: "Great idea!"
"Then hurry up and go see the Emperor!"
Jun Youlan took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll get right away..."
"Who's there? Stop right there!" the guard at the door shouted again.
Jun Youlan frowned: "Who is it this time?"
There are so many people here today, he just doesn't believe that every single one of them can make him bow his head!
Soon, a shrill voice rang out: "By imperial decree, everyone make way for us!"
dong dong!
A dull thud came from the doorway, and the guards all knelt on the ground.
Jun Youlan's eyes widened, and despite gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to kneel down: "Eunuch Cao!"
The emperor's chief eunuch, his trusted confidant Eunuch Cao, was imprisoned in the blink of an eye.
He was taken aback: "Lord Jun, you're here too?"
Jun Youlan lowered his head: "Your humble servant greets Eunuch Cao!"
"Why is Eunuch Cao here?"
His official rank was much higher than that of a eunuch in the Directorate of Ceremonial.
However, status is only determined by its distance from power. This emperor's personal eunuch may have influence over matters no less significant than that of the Minister of Rites.
Moreover, this eunuch Cao was carrying an imperial edict, making him an incarnation of the emperor.
He announced loudly, "By imperial decree, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is hereby summoned to an audience with the Emperor!"
Qingman was startled: "Young Master, this, this is an imperial edict!"
Su Yun responded with an "oh," and said, "So what if it's an imperial edict? What's so surprising about it?"
I've seen emperors at the realm level, so what difference does it make if I'm an emperor in terms of position?
Jun Youlan was also startled: "His Majesty wants to see this child?"
"why?"
Despite his position as head of the Six Ministries, Eunuch Cao had to show respect and replied with a wry smile, "For some reason, the Emperor was annoyed to death today."
"One minute the Ministry of War is going to file a complaint, the next minute the academy is going."
"Just as we stopped, the Sage Luo, the Imperial Preceptor, and the Supervisor also ran over."
"Given the situation, even the Emperor is helpless. Quickly summon the person over and investigate the matter as soon as possible."
Jun Youlan was startled: "They...they all went?"
Eunuch Cao was puzzled: "What do you mean by 'all'?"
Jun Youlan clenched her fists: "Damn it! I was still a step too slow!"
He planned to file a complaint beforehand to gain a preemptive advantage.
But now that group of people have come to the prison, they immediately run to the Emperor, leaving us behind.
Jun Youlan had no idea how the emperor, who had already formed a prejudice against her, would view her.
"No, I have to go right away."
Thinking of this, Jun Youlan looked up and said, "Eunuch Cao, I have also made some progress on this case and need to see the Emperor immediately."
Eunuch Cao nodded as a matter of course: "You may go, Lord Jun."
As the head of the Six Ministries, it was easy for him to see the emperor unless it was the dead of night.
Jun Youlan began to make plans in his mind, when suddenly Xiao Erke spoke up beside him: "Su Yun, the imperial edict is before you, why are you not kneeling!"
