Genshin Impact: I am the only one who can bring disaster to Teyvat
Chapter 20: Undecided Questions about Foreign Affairs 8
Silence is the keynote of the night.
The noble and dignified General Lei Dian sat in the main seat with his eyes closed in meditation. He had not announced the start of the dinner as he had done in the past. But now that Ming Shen said nothing, the subjects below naturally did not dare to overstep the mark. They could only maintain the standard kneeling posture and slightly lower their heads to observe the table.
The delicious dishes on the table exuded an enticing aroma, tempting the hungry ministers. However, compared with the appeal of power and status to them, food that could simply satisfy their appetite was not worth mentioning.
Without the general's permission, no one dared to pick up the chopsticks.
There must be a deep meaning behind the general's silence this time. However, instead of guessing it yourself, it is better to learn from the general and remain silent and take no action.
If something unexpected happens afterwards, you can still use the excuse of "comprehending eternity" to shirk responsibility.
"Still silent? This is really surprising. Doesn't the general just want to finish the dinner early and continue to comprehend eternity?"
Yae Shinto, who had sneaked out shortly after the silence began, peeked in at the door, took off the note stuck on his forehead with his slender fingers, and observed the situation in the hall with trembling ears.
"What happened today? It's become so quiet."
The moment the Eightfold Son of God spoke, the subjects in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and their solemn and tense kneeling posture seemed to relax.
As the silence becomes increasingly severe, someone is most needed to break the silence. The courageous Yae Shinto, who has a very special identity compared to them, is undoubtedly the most suitable person. If someone else chooses to break the silence, they can still accept it.
The subjects now only need one person to break the silence, and they don’t care whether this person is the Eightfold Son of God or a young man who doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter.
Looking at the Eye of God hanging on his ear, Yae Shinko said with interest: "Or has the General discovered those guys who are just sitting there doing nothing but eating? My goodness, our General is so wise!"
The heart that had been relieved was instantly lifted up again.
General Raiden opened his eyes for the first time since the banquet began and looked down at his subjects.
"Yahe God Son, who is just sitting there doing nothing?"
"Want to know? Well, if it was an ordinary person, I would have let him come to beg me, but this person is you, the general. You just need to talk about the advantages of the wise and beautiful Goddess."
"Kamisato Bugyo." General Raiden tilted his head slightly.
"The minister is here."
Kamisato Bugyo was terrified and quickly stood up and walked out, bowing respectfully in response.
"Do you remember the Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning who were attacked 34 years ago?"
"The country's most important weapon was attacked, and the community failed to protect it, causing the Five Lightning Schools to fall into decline, leaving only the Tianmu School with a successor. I dare not forget this for a moment, and I cannot forget it for a moment."
"I still remember that year, Kamisato was supposed to resign from his position as a magistrate and be punished according to the law, but Yae Kamiko stepped forward and spoke out, which dispelled my idea."
There seemed to be thunder roaring in her purple eyes. General Lei Dian did not actively release her divine power, but every word she uttered oppressed the ministers present, making them restless and sweating profusely.
Looking at the general who seemed to have a master giving advice from behind, Yae Shenzi became more interested. She and Alice set up two lounge chairs in front of the entrance of the hall, and lay there comfortably, eating snacks and watching the show.
"Alice, if I hadn't invited you, would you have been able to see this scene? Hurry up and thank the great Son of God."
"Hmph~ Sister Shen Zi, don't get too complacent too soon. I think things are going a little wrong right now."
Some people were whispering, some were panicking.
General Raiden said, "I have been in charge of Inazuma for a long time, and many nobles have violated the law and been held accountable during this period. However, your Kamisato family is the only family that has allowed the Yae Godson to plead for mercy. I was a little surprised at the time."
Kujo Takayuki did not seem to be disturbed by the wrong development. He looked directly at Kamisato Bugyo with a calm and steady expression.
Fortunately, they already have contact.
"Yae Shenzi has no interest in getting involved with those scum who just sit there doing nothing but eating and drinking. She despises them even more. Since you can get her to plead for you, it means you are trustworthy."
The Kanjo Bugyo leader, Hiiragi Shinsuke, lowered his head and frowned secretly.
In this land, a word from God can easily change a person's life. Over the past few decades, the Society Bugyo has made a lot of efforts to revitalize the Kamisato family, but these efforts are far less than a word of trust from the Shogun.
It can be imagined that after today, the Kamisato family will not even need to take the initiative, and other large and small families will help them to achieve revitalization and prosperity. Even the people will have higher expectations and respect for them, just because they are people trusted by the Shogun.
This is good for the community, but only good for them.
Inazuma had very little power, 90% of which went to the Shogun, and the three magistrates each took 30% of the remaining 10%. The rest was the rights of other families that did not align themselves with the magistrates.
The decline of the Kamisato family is definitely a good thing for the other two magistrates. As a result, they have gained a lot of the original rights of the community magistrates. Whatever falls into their hands is theirs, so how can they run away?
Hiiragi Shinsuke was glad that it was two magistrates fighting against one.
"I remember that when the previous chief priest was alive, he entrusted the company to train an intelligence agency."
"I am ready to serve the general at any time."
"Okay, let the final commander take the lead and start an investigation into the shogunate's corruption today. The Okuji Society will form a supervisory team. I hope you can live up to the trust that Yae Shinko has placed in you."
"The Kamisato family will not betray the trust of the Shogun and Yae-no-Miyaji."
"Go back."
General Lei Dian closed his eyes again.
Neihei once said that a warrior should have the self-knowledge of a warrior, and should not force himself to participate in the affairs of scholars. If you are unsure about external affairs, ask Yajō; if you are unsure about internal affairs, ask Shen Zi. If neither of them is sure, you can ask Bai Chen.
As warriors, they handle things more from a warrior's perspective, which is disadvantageous in managing Inazuma and it is easy for them to make wrong decisions.
During the period of her inner creation, Inazuma's affairs were handled by Yaegamiko, who single-handedly managed the post-disaster reconstruction work, and there is no doubt about her ability to manage the shogunate.
Inazuma can develop steadily under her management, and she only needs to stabilize the hearts of the people of Inazuma and occasionally take action to solve the troubles that Yae Shinko cannot reason with.
If it is what is originally set within, it can execute the best method for eternity.
Unfortunately, after her inner seclusion to comprehend eternity, Yae Shinto became angry and no longer cared about the management of the shogunate. She had no choice but to rely on the set logic left over from her inner self to handle affairs.
There is no doubt that she is walking on the correct eternal path in her heart. She does feel troubled when handling affairs. When facing a document, she often needs to ponder for a long time before she can write down a military decision that does not sound too military.
After hundreds of years, she finally returned to the right eternal path.
Yingzhai is also Baichen.
With sweat from surprise oozing from his palms and his fingertips trembling slightly, Kamisato Motoyoshi quietly retreated to his seat and knelt there in a daze for a long time. When he came to his senses, he found that the sweat from his palms had seeped through his cuffs.
The revitalization of the Kamisato family can be easy or difficult. External obstacles are undoubtedly the most frustrating. I thought he would be like his father, overworked and ill, and would not be able to see the revitalization of the Kamisato family.
On weekdays, he occasionally hesitated. If he also collapsed due to overwork, Ayato would undoubtedly take over the responsibility.
As the head of the family and the eldest son, it is reasonable for Ayato, who usually enjoys preferential treatment, to take over the responsibilities. He should also contribute to the revitalization of the family. However, as a father and son, he is also afraid that his son will suffer the same fate as him.
But no one expected that the Kamisato family would usher in a turning point today and embark on the easiest path to revitalization.
He will also have time to recuperate his weak health, and can relax a little when it comes to Ayato's education. Since he doesn't have to worry about collapsing at any time, he should give his son a happy childhood.
Ayato was smiling happily these days as he played with Sakusai.
"I suddenly feel so cold. Could it be that Sakurazai who is hiding here is planning to use me as a prop again?"
Kamisato Ayato rubbed his arms and felt cold all over.
