They say that you know the true character of a person during disasters, and only then do you know what this person really is.
Emperor Min Zao Long is the person to whom the saying applies: This person will destroy the kingdom.
Not only because of his continued ignorance of matters of government and politics, but also in the problems that occurred in his era.
Within two months of his reign, locusts spread throughout the empire, causing problems for all crops.
After a year, five military leaders revolted, and although the revolt was suppressed after three months, the consequences of the problems that occurred are still present everywhere.
Now, when his rule had passed for five years, strange creatures appeared in the form of undead, wreaking havoc everywhere and threatening not only the emperor but humanity itself.
This is in addition to his sick behavior.
One day, he took the wife of a citizen and made her his concubine, even though she was married, which made her husband try to kill him.
After a failed attempt to assassinate him, the husband committed suicide with his children, which destroyed what remained of the image of the emperor.
After that, he killed the woman for whom he did all this, justifying his action by saying that she had tried to kill him.
This is in addition to his shameful actions that would make a child's hair turn white, but in five years his wisdom changed today and even though he didn't do anything big, he did something and this is the amazing thing, usually he would ignore the matter and hand everything over to the prime minister saying that this is his job and not the emperor's, but today he ordered the building of the walls and his actions also changed and even his looks changed from someone who doesn't care about all this to someone who really cares.
But everyone was afraid so no one hoped that their emperor would change.
After the entourage left, some important ministers remained, such as the Prime Minister, the Supreme General, and the Minister of Finance.
They had stayed after Yan ordered them to do so. He wanted to know the situation completely, but he didn't know how to start the question, so he changed the subject and asked, "Um… Tell me how the army is doing.
Can it complete the mission in a short time?" Everyone was nervous, they didn't know how to answer him.
It wasn't that they didn't know the answer to his question, but they weren't sure how he would react, as he was known for rushing things and running out of patience.
"We can get everything done as soon as possible, Your Majesty."
The Supreme General said as he bowed and put a shy smile on his face.
Yan looked at him as he spoke, it was clear that he was speaking out of fear and not realistically.
"Don't worry, I'm not impatient or in a hurry.
I want you to take your time, but I want results. Do you understand?
I want to eliminate the threat completely. Now, Prime Minister, tell me how the people are doing, are they okay?"
Everyone looked at the prime minister waiting for his answer, normally they would lie to him and tell him that everything was fine but on this day their emperor was different not only in his actions but also his intelligence unlike usual, they were afraid that the prime minister would lie as usual and anger His Majesty but contrary to their fears Liu Niang told the truth (Your Majesty things will get out of control if the situation remains like this).
He knelt on the ground and then said (Please cancel the taxes for this period until the situation returns to how it was).
All the ministers knelt as well, Yan stopped them with a gesture of his hand and said (There are three fallen cities and the economy is deteriorating and we are still collecting taxes? What madness is this, listen the taxes will be canceled until further notice, and see the landowners will be supported if they support the army with food, tell them that we are all in this together and that I will make the empire the strongest and best in the whole world).
Yan stood up from the golden throne and walked out of the hall.
The ministers remained bowing before him, and inside they were happy about the matter.
On the same day, the news spread that taxes were being abolished and people were celebrating everywhere because of this news and the tension that accompanied them had eased in one way or another.
As for Yan who was resting in his private room, he was wondering about many things. First, he was wondering if he was really in a dream. Unlike other dreams, the dream place was very realistic.
Also, usually, martial artists in the last four levels before immortality had sharp senses, so even if they were sleeping, they would feel their surroundings.
They also had contact with their souls, but on the contrary, Yan felt like he was in another world without even contacting the soul he was contracted with.
Second, the world he was dreaming in did not contain the spiritual energy that would allow him to connect with souls, as if souls did not exist in this world.
This was impossible to happen.
Even before the first human connected with the first soul, humans could see spiritual energy even in their dreams, which reinforced that his consciousness had moved to another world.
But in this world, unfortunately, the chi energy was weak and did not affect things, as if it was an unimportant energy, unlike in his world, where it was the most important life energy and what ran the world.
Yan sat in the lotus position and began to absorb the chi energy from the surroundings. This was the final test of his theory.
It was impossible for a person in his world to absorb energy in a dream.
It was an impossible thing to happen because energy absorption only happened when a person was fully conscious.
At first, the energy was still and Yan thought about letting it go, but he decided to stay a little longer.
Then, to his surprise, the chi began to approach him and enter his body.
Yan was like a vacuum cleaner absorbing the chi.
After two hours, he was able to enter the first stage of cultivation (the human stage).
Although he had become stronger, the body he was in contained many impurities due to the emperor's bad life, so Yan wondered how a body with such impurities could remain alive for so long.
Yan had ordered everyone not to disturb him, but after he finished meditating, he called the servants.
A very beautiful young girl entered. She had emerald eyes, long black hair, and white skin like marble.
She was wearing clothes that showed off all her charms.
The girl looked at the emperor, then covered her nose with her fingers because of the dirty smell, and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty, shall I prepare a bath for you?" Yan looked at her electrified.
Although he was from a wealthy family and had many servants, he was excused and had no relations with the opposite sex, which made him not know how to answer in front of this angelic beauty.
When he noticed his smell and his condition, he felt embarrassed and then said, trying to pretend that he did not care, "Yes... prepare a bath for me.".
After taking a shower, he looked at himself in the mirror and saw that his appearance had not changed at all. Then he looked at himself and said, "What is happening in the tenth heaven?" At that moment, he wanted to wake up from the dream.
