Chapter 628

In the West, they are engaged in the Renaissance and the Grand Tour, excluding the traditional religious countries of Spain and Portugal, while the Great Ming is engaged in the Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought and letting a hundred flowers bloom, re-compiling and re-annotating the theories of those sages, and also conducting gatherings.

According to Wan Shihe's description, the Great Ming's gatherings are just another manifestation of 'talking about the heart and nature with hands in sleeves,' because all gatherings eventually have to focus on one thing, which is the evolution of the political system. However, the wise Emperor of the Great Ming makes all explorations of the political system need to be discussed without mentioning His Majesty.

The Great Ming's style of gathering is supported by the Emperor's acquiescence. But once the day comes when the Emperor, or the ruling class, no longer needs gatherings, then all the achievements of the gatherings may be shelved, or even branded as heresy and destroyed completely.

When there is a wise monarch, there is no need for gatherings; when there is a foolish monarch, there is no way to gather.

The Great Ming's style of gathering is entirely supported by the Emperor's indulgence. The extremely bold remarks of people like Lin Fucheng and Li Zhi are the Emperor's indulgence; otherwise, they would have long been branded as unloyal and unfilial and sent to the vegetable market to be beheaded.

"Zhou Liangyin left ten years ago, from Danning Guard of the Beiping Regional Military Commission to Datong Prefecture as the Provincial Governor. He began to cut down local officials with great vigor. The Wang Wang Cifu seems to disapprove of this move." Zhu Yijun mentioned Wang Chonggu's refusal.

The Emperor of the Great Ming and the Wang Cifu exchanged views on streamlining local yamens and cutting down officials. Wang Chonggu expressed conservative opposition and did not intend to provide help to Zhou Liangyin, so Zhou Liangyin had to find a way himself. Zhu Yijun did not rush to promote this matter but communicated again with the 'all-purpose oil' of the court, Wan Shihe.

Rigidity and bloat; the more rigid, the more bloated; the more bloated, the more rigid. Such a vicious cycle eventually becomes like a pool of stagnant water.

"Your Majesty, the Wang Wang Cifu's opinion is that it should not be done too hastily." Wan Shihe explained slightly why Wang Chonggu expressed conservative opposition. Now Wang Chonggu is sitting in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and he talked about this matter with Zhang Zhaozheng, the leader of the radical faction who is in charge of official governance and created the 'Kao Cheng' law. Finally, Zhang Zhaozheng was persuaded by Wang Chonggu.

In front of the Great Ming county yamen, there is a large archway with 'Promoting Virtue and Education' or 'Respecting Rituals and Advocating Righteousness' written on it. On the left and right of the archway, there are two hexagonal pavilions called 'Jingshan Pavilions,' which are generally used to post announcements about repairing bridges and roads, repairing official residences, and donating to the nursing home. The other one is called 'Shen Ming Pavilion,' generally used to post announcements about the Emperor's imperial edicts, the imperial court's decrees, and publicizing some major cases with bad nature.

The county yamen's main gate is quite grand. On both sides of the main gate, there are small gates. The main gate is where the county magistrate and superiors can walk, and the two small gates are for officials to enter and exit.

Walking into the main gate, there is a rain path more than thirty zhang long. On the left side of the rain path are the dining hall and the outer prison. The entire county yamen's officials eat in the dining hall. The outer prison is divided into prison cells, women's prison, and death row. On the right side are the Yinbin Hall and the yamen quarters. The Yinbin Hall is where guests stay, and the yamen quarters are for the three classes of yamen runners, police, and civil guards.

Taking Guangling County of Datong Prefecture as an example, there are 58 cooks, and the three classes of yamen runners sitting in the yamen exceed 78 people, while the yamen runners who do not sit in the county yamen exceed a thousand people.

Walking through the long rain path, you reach the ceremonial gate. Once you enter the ceremonial gate, there is a huge shadow wall. On the left and right sides are the six departments of military, punishment, works, personnel, revenue, and rites. On the left of the six departments are the official quarters where the six departments' clerks live. On the right of the six departments is the Dianli yamen, where the Dianli is located. It manages officials and also divides the management of miscellaneous officials, tax collection, iron smelting, batch inspection, granaries, warehouses, rivers, dams, and delivery.

In Guangling County of Datong Prefecture, there are 272 various clerks in the second entry, and the key is that 250 of these 272 people do not sit in the yamen. They only eat the yamen's salary. Only 22 clerks do the work, do the most tiring work, and get the least salary. Because they are too busy, they can only eat in the county yamen. The food in the county yamen's dining hall is no different from pig food.

After walking a few dozen steps through the six departments, you reach the moon platform. On the moon platform is the county hall. Judging cases and deciding cases are all done on this main hall. Behind the main hall, you reach the third entry of the county yamen.

On the left side of the third entry is the Registrar's yamen, with a total of seven rooms, and on the right side is the County Assistant's yamen, with eight rooms. The people living here are the secretaries of the Registrar and the County Assistant, roughly equivalent to the roles of staff and secretaries, managing various matters.

The Guangling County hall of Datong Prefecture has 74 secretaries for the Registrar and County Assistant. Except for taking turns serving under the Registrar and County Assistant, the rest are on shifts.

The fourth entry reaches the inner residence, which is where the county magistrate lives. On the left side of the county magistrate's inner residence is the tax warehouse, and on the right side is the silver bureau. The silver bureau has a small dining room, which can raise four to five cooks.

The fifth entry is the back garden. On the left and right sides of the gate are the West Flower Hall and the East Flower Hall. The back gardens are different in each place, some large and some small. For example, the back garden of the Guangling County yamen is 160 mu. There are 27 gardeners alone, specially responsible for rockeries, flowers, trees, and cleaning up fallen leaves and garbage in artificial ponds. There are also four monks. These four monks worship Buddha in the pagoda and occasionally talk about Buddha with the county magistrate.

In addition, they raise dozens to hundreds of people such as coroners, jailers, gatekeepers, patrolmen, archers, sedan chair carriers, umbrella and fan carriers, gong beaters, drummers, lamp lighters, night watchmen, and grooms.

But anyone who sits in the county yamen eats a salary.

Guangling County, a county with only 100,000 people, raised nearly 3,000 officials in the county yamen. Zhou Liangyin wanted to use a knife on this. The Emperor supported it, but no officials in the court supported it.

Emperor's support is actually enough. If you really want to do it with great vigor, it is not impossible, but it is best to have ministers, such as the leader of the Jin faction, support it. This way, the government is like a thoroughfare, and it can be executed smoothly and stably.

"Your Majesty, my opinion is also not to move." Wan Shihe clearly understood the Emperor's meaning. What is Wan Ge Lao's opinion? If he agrees, then lobby Wang Chonggu and get this matter done.

Wan Shihe did not hide anything and told the Emperor directly that Zhou Liangyin's original intention to do things was good. Everyone in the world knows this, but Wan Shihe's meaning is not to move.

"Why?" Zhu Yijun spread his hands and asked. Wan Shihe, as the leader of the Emperor's faction, actually disagreed with the Emperor's opinion.

"Your Majesty, what is the imperial court?" Wan Shihe pondered for a while and asked back.

"The imperial court is the imperial court, it is the official yamen, it is the yamen that replaces the Son of Heaven to shepherd the local area, strips and blocks, constituting the imperial court." Zhu Yijun answered this question according to his own understanding. The imperial court is the tool for the Emperor to manage the world.

"Your Majesty, the yamen is the imperial court that can be seen locally." Wan Shihe answered this question concisely.

The people want to ask, where is the imperial court? The imperial court is the yamen, the yamen is the imperial court that can be seen, the order that can be seen.

"The Wanli Reform is like a monstrous giant wave, surging forward. You cannot expect the local yamens to do things while shrinking the scale of the local area. This new policy always needs people to do it. Honestly, bloat and rigidity make the local yamens very inefficient, but it is this bloat and rigidity that guarantees the class of officials selecting officials, overriding the status of the powerful families and gentry." Wan Shihe still chose to tell the truth.

Wan Shihe, as the Emperor's faction, disagreed with the Emperor and naturally had to explain clearly and make it clear.

All the things in the Wanli Reform have to be done by these bloated clerks. This is the status quo. In the local game, the huge scale and various rules are part of the imperial court.

"Zhou Liangyin's idea is good. 272 clerks, 22 sitting in the office, others eating idle food. This part needs to be streamlined by Kao Cheng, but according to Zhou Liangyin's statement, if the yamen runners are reduced to about a hundred, then the imperial officials who are officials in one party can only collude with the local powerful families." Wan Shihe repeated the conversation between Wang Chonggu and Zhang Zhaozheng.

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and said: "So, the Cabinet's opinion is that it should not be streamlining, but checking empty pay, and dismissing those who eat empty pay? Last time I talked to the Wang Cifu about this, the Wang Cifu was hesitant and refused to make it clear. If I say it like this, am I not clear?"

"Just follow the Cabinet's opinion and issue an imperial decree to the Shanxi Provincial Governor Zhou Liangyin."

Zhu Yijun realized that he had thought of things too simply. He accepted the Cabinet's opinion. Wang Chonggu was hesitant, which was actually easy to understand. The Emperor personally went to the Quanjin Guild Hall to invite him, Wang Chonggu, back to the court. Just after returning, the first thing the Emperor entrusted to him, Wang Chonggu, opposed. Naturally, he could not speak too directly.

Zhang Zhaozheng, as the Emperor's teacher, the Emperor has grown up, and it is not very convenient to preach. At twenty-two, he is not a child. If he keeps preaching, the Emperor will be annoyed.

On the contrary, it is most appropriate for Wan Shihe to say this matter because Wan Shihe is the Emperor's faction and is the Emperor's own person.

Hai Rui's anti-corruption would not even reach the county yamen. The salary of Great Ming officials at all levels is not much. Being an official mainly relies on 'lougui' (unspoken rules). A county magistrate's regular expenses are about 1,000 taels a year, the County Assistant and Registrar are about 700 taels, and the Dianli, the head of the clerks, is only 110 taels.

According to the intensity of the "Imperial Ming Ancestral Instructions" and "Great Pronouncements" to fight corruption, the county magistrate would have been skinned twenty times.

"Your Majesty, here is an obituary." Wan Shihe said in an extremely sad tone: "Yongji County Magistrate of Jilin, Xia Zhijie, in early July of the 12th year of Wanli, to protect the cultivated fields, led military soldiers to fight with the Jianzhou Jurchens and unfortunately died. Liaoning Provincial Governor Hou Yuzhao requested the imperial court to bury him officially and enter the Loyalty and Bravery Shrine."

In the war for the country, military soldiers who died in the war would have a Loyalty and Bravery Shrine built. The Loyalty and Bravery Shrine appeared at the end of the Jiajing years and was established every time there was a war. Now a civil official appeared on the Loyalty and Bravery Shrine. Xia Zhijie was a Juren. Because he took the imperial examination three times and did not pass, he reported to the Ministry of Personnel. Although Liaoning is bitter and cold, there are many positions in Liaoning.

Xia Zhijie would not have led the military soldiers to charge himself if he had any other way. Just like Tan Lun in Taizhou, fighting with the Japanese pirates, because if he retreated one step, behind him were the people.

"The Marquis of Ningyuan used the excuse of the Jianzhou Jurchens killing officials to clear out the Jianzhou Jurchens south of Jilin and east of Fushun, killing 3,400 enemies, to avenge Xia Zhijie." Wan Shihe added details about the reaction of the Marquis of Ningyuan, Li Chengliang.

This matter was really not that Li Chengliang felt Xia Zhijie was an eyesore and let the Jianzhou Jurchens kill Xia Zhijie.

As a scholar, Xia Zhijie was willing to be an official in the bitter and cold Liaoning. Li Chengliang cherished him very much. Even if Xia Zhijie had more bones and righteousness, he could not manage the head of a Marquis.

Xia Zhijie died at the hands of the Jianzhou Jurchens. Li Chengliang was like crazy, even fighting to the territory of Korea. He was indeed angry and had moved real anger. For twelve years, Li Chengliang's policy in Liaoning was also to promote peace through war, forcing the Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, Wild Jurchens, and Outer Khalkha tribes to submit. The Great Ming of Hou Yuzhao and him were both royal ministers and complemented each other.

This time, Li Chengliang really raised the butcher knife. The banner he held was that if he did not avenge the blood feud, he would not be a man. It can be seen that he was really angry. As the local emperor of Liaoning, the proportion of Han people is increasing, which means that the status of Li Chengliang, this Han Marquis, will be more stable. If they dare to kill officials, Li Chengliang will conquer and avenge.

"If the Great Ming were all officials like Xia Zhijie." Zhu Yijun looked at the obituary, and his heart was bleeding.

Another official with bones and righteousness sacrificed on the road to the Great Ming's revival. Xia Zhijie was not the first, nor the last. The Great Ming lost a warrior willing to fight for the people. If he retreated one step, behind him were the people. Tan Lun did not die at the hands of the Japanese pirates that year, but Xia Zhijie died at the hands of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

"Issue an imperial decree to the Liaoning Regional Military Commission, commend the Liaoning military soldiers for their bravery in battle, spend 150,000 silver from the inner treasury to reward them, order Xia Zhijie to enter the Loyalty and Bravery Shrine, and have official sacrifices every year." Zhu Yijun wrote a large character and sent it to Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture, Guangxi. This is Xia Zhijie's hometown. Regardless of whether Liaoning will forget Xia Zhijie's loyalty and bravery, Xia Zhijie's hometown will pass it on from generation to generation.

"The Imperial Academy accepts Xia Zhijie's three sons as students, to reward loyalty and bravery." Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and added a favor. Xia Zhijie's three sons can all enter the Imperial Academy to become students, which is considered a favor from the state.

"Your Majesty, is the burden on the Songjiang Provincial Governor Shen Shixing too heavy?" Wan Shihe hesitated again and again and said a fair word. Just finished the Single Whip Law, Shen Shixing had not caught his breath, and another big mountain was pressed on Shen Shixing's shoulder.

Songjiang Prefecture is going to notarize labor relationship contracts. This matter is not easy to do at all.

"He is going to enter the Cabinet. Since he is going to enter the Cabinet, he must make some achievements to prevent people in the world from talking nonsense and to convince the public. In fact, he can completely put the pilot in Guangzhou. Is Songjiang Prefecture the vanguard of opening the sea, and is Guangzhou Prefecture not a bridgehead?" Zhu Yijun actually had a choice, to let Shen Shixing catch his breath and add some burden to Wang Jiaping.

But Shen Shixing is going to enter the Cabinet after all. He cannot be the Prime Minister by just holding water, so he can only experience eighty-one difficulties and obtain the right fruit.

No one doubts that Shen Shixing can enter the Cabinet, or even be the Prime Minister, but Shen Shixing himself doubts it. At this time, Shen Shixing in Songjiang Prefecture was already overwhelmed. He looked at the imperial decree from the imperial court and was truly confused.

Shen Shixing even suspected that he had made some unforgivable mistake like Gao Qiyu, hated Zhang Zhaozheng, so he was so embarrassed.

After crossing a mountain, there is a higher mountain in front.

Life cannot go on!

"Governor, Sun Kehong, the merchant leader of the Songjiang Ocean Trading Firm, has submitted a visiting card." The gatekeeper brought a visiting card and walked in hurriedly.

"Please." Shen Shixing was a little suspicious. Why did this merchant leader who had stepped into the monopoly class suddenly come to visit?

"Sun has met the Governor. I have a deformity and it is inconvenient to perform a big ceremony." Sun Kehong is a Juren, and he himself can see officials without kneeling. Plus, the Emperor once bestowed the 'Poetry, Books, Rituals, Music, and Hairpin Family,' Sun Kehong can actually not perform a big ceremony. Plus, he himself has a disability, but every time Sun Kehong sees the Provincial Governor, he has to mention it to prevent the Provincial Governor from being unhappy.

If Shen Shixing becomes the Prime Minister in the future and holds a grudge against Sun Kehong's disrespect, his Sun family, even if they have the ability of Sun Wukong, will still be cleaned up into pieces.

"Merchant Leader Sun, you are too polite. Have some tea." Shen Shixing reached out and gestured for Sun Kehong's chief steward to push Sun Kehong to the tea table to drink tea.

"This time I came here rashly, it is actually one thing. I heard that the imperial court wants to notarize the labor contracts of private workshops as contracts. Regarding this matter, the Sun family expresses full support. The Songjiang Ocean Trading Firm, Sun's Cloth Shop, Cotton Textile Workshop, Seafood Shop, Clothing Shop, Tea Shop, etc., a total of 342 shops, will all complete notarization within three months, from contracts to contracts." Sun Kehong went straight to the point and expressed active support for the imperial court's decree.

"Go and bring the Dragon and Phoenix Tea Cake bestowed by His Majesty." Shen Shixing actually did not know much about tea, only knowing that this is tribute tea. In Shen Shixing's view, tea and wine are the same, mainly emotional value. A 'Guojiao' sweet potato shochu, isn't it still sought after by everyone?

Shen Shixing really did not expect that Sun Kehong would stand up to support this decree of the imperial court for the first time.

This directly reduced the difficulty of this matter to an easy level. The monopoly class that was hardest to handle was handled. Then those small fish and shrimp below moved with the wind, and they did not even need Shen Shixing to come forward. Various merchant groups and firms moved with the wind.

"To tell the Governor, I am also old. Cheating and kidnapping, my brother just refuses to come back. Because of the strong wind of opening the sea, the Sun family has risen to 90,000 li. Now that it has reached such a scale, while I am alive and can manage things, I can still restrain it. Once I am old and confused, our Sun family will probably change from a 'Poetry, Books, Rituals, Music, and Hairpin Family' to a worm. That is not what I want to see, nor is it what the imperial court wants to see." Sun Kehong truthfully stated the reason for his support, for the continuation of the old Sun family.

Sun Ke-yi, this guy, just refuses to come back outside! Sun Kehong even thought of the trick of being seriously ill, but it was of no avail.

Sun Ke-yi does not come back, Sun Kehong is getting older, and the people below have started to have all kinds of messy thoughts. Sun Kehong also has to guard against it.

Contracts and contracts are different. Contracts are signed by both parties, and contracts need witnesses to witness, and this witness acts as a certain guarantee. Once there is a problem between the two parties to the contract, this witness must have a certain ability to ensure the performance of the contract. Sun Kehong has been in business for many years and immediately noticed the difference. Hearing the news, he rushed over for the first time.

"The Sun family attracts hatred." Sun Kehong was a little helpless. Their family earned too much money. Just donating to the Maritime Academy donated more than 1.5 million silver. The scale of the Songjiang Maritime Academy today has a lot to do with the Sun family's donation.

In the 12th year of Wanli, the Sun family bought a five-masted ocean-going ship that went to sea in the 4th year of Wanli and donated it to the Songjiang Maritime Academy as a teaching aid.

"This is not the case. The policy of opening the sea is there. The Sun family has not eaten or occupied much. The scale of the Sun family today is not accidental." Shen Shixing affirmed that the Sun family led by Sun Kehong indeed contributed their own strength to the Great Ming's great cause of opening the sea.

"I am a little puzzled. Isn't His Majesty the most sympathetic to the poor people and laborers? Why only confirm the employment relationship? Why not further restrain the behavior of these beasts?" Sun Kehong questioned the Emperor of the Great Ming, thinking that the Great Ming Emperor's guarantee was too weak.

"Beasts?" Shen Shixing frowned.

Sun Kehong threw his cultivation skills to Java, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's put it this way, the treatment of craftsmen in some workshops is not as good as the girls on the painting boat. At least the girls on the painting boat have three full meals a day."

"I saw with my own eyes a dyeing workshop. It was said to be providing meals. At noon, it was packed in a lead bucket, which was indica rice, scorched rice, broken rice, and some bran for feeding pigs. It was a pot of porridge that could not be called porridge, fed to the craftsmen. The craftsmen all did physical labor, but in order to save money, the craftsmen could only eat like this."

"The workshop owner in that dyeing workshop was still sharing with me triumphantly how to save costs! He said it was providing accommodation, a row of large houses, a total of seven rooms, two floors of bunk beds, people stacked on top of people sleeping in them. The prison of each county yamen in Songjiang Prefecture lives much better than this!"

"They beat and scold at every turn, opening their mouths and closing their mouths with 'outsiders,' 'country bumpkins,' 'reed sticks,' 'pigs.' They should go and take a pee and see what they look like themselves!"

"This is not the most hateful. What is particularly hateful is that these workshop owners are triumphantly telling me that when it is time to pay, they drag it as long as they can, and if they can't give it, they don't give it. If it is really impossible to make trouble, they use various reasons to give a little less to appease the craftsmen. Anyway, these people don't do it, there are plenty of people to do it."

"Craftsmen are 'wild geese,' coming and going. Where is there so much time to haggle with these local workshop owners year after year? In the end, they can only eat this dumb loss."

"Damn beasts!"

'Wild geese' means migrating like migratory birds, which means the mobility is very large, coming and going, running around for hard work all day long. This is the fundamental reason why these local workshop owners dare to be so unscrupulous.

Sun Kehong was obviously very angry. He continued: "They are all doing business. How much cost can be deducted by deducting the rations of the craftsmen? Not even a point can be deducted. But these beasts just did it, and they did it with peace of mind. Since the imperial court wants to manage it, it should manage it to the end."

"People live this life, they are all people, not beasts!"

"I saw with my own eyes a weaver. Because she was sick and wanted to take a day off, the foreman roared, 'Fake illness, I'll cure you,' grabbed the weaver's hair with his hand, and slammed her against the wall fiercely. The foreman was tall and strong, as strong as an ox. This slam made the female worker dizzy, and after the slam, it was not over. He kicked her one after another!"

"Until she was breathing less and exhaling more, the foreman still hadn't finished his virtue, picked up a basin of cold water on the table, and poured it over her head. It was winter! The winter in Songjiang Prefecture is also a freezing winter!"

"Governor Shen! Are the poor people and laborers not His Majesty's subjects? Or is it that only powerful families like me are His Majesty's subjects?"

"These dog things that knock the bones and suck the marrow of the people, they also lend money to craftsmen, damn beasts!"

Sun Kehong almost gritted his teeth and shouted these five words because he, the merchant leader of the Songjiang Ocean Trading Firm, the powerful family of the monopoly class of the Great Ming, with industries all over Songjiang Prefecture, had also been beaten like that. When those claws of Xu Jie were beating him, the scene was almost the same, directly awakening the most painful memory deep in Sun Kehong's heart.

Sun Kehong is a master. He really can't look at these sufferings. He directly squeezed that dyeing workshop to the point of being unable to survive, and finally closed down.

But Sun Kehong, a merchant, could do very limited things. When the imperial court finally remembered to protect the interests of the poor people and laborers, Sun Kehong actively responded. Of course, when his emotions were extremely excited, Sun Kehong said some rebellious words.

Not enough. His Majesty did a good job, but it is far from enough. There are too many Great Ming people suffering.

"I didn't know about these things you said, let alone His Majesty who is far away in the North." Shen Shixing answered this question very clearly. His Majesty lives deep in the nine-fold palace and does not know much about these things.

If he knew, His Majesty would really carry a Qi family knife, rush to the south of Songjiang Prefecture, and kill him on the street. Shen Shixing had seen it with his own eyes; His Majesty would definitely do so.

"The prosperity of Songjiang Prefecture, the intoxication of Songjiang Prefecture, the luxury of Songjiang Prefecture that is second to none in the world, is enjoyed by a few people, and these prosperous scenes are all created by the poor people and laborers who come to Songjiang Prefecture with their own hands. While we powerful families are enjoying it, can we have a little bit of conscience, just a little!"

"Even if you don't have a conscience yourself, can the imperial court restrain us to have a little conscience?"

"At the very least, at the very least, you shouldn't knock the bones and suck the marrow! People are people, people shouldn't be trampled into pigs and grass!" Sun Kehong clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with the imperial court. The imperial court manages too little and too loosely.

When Li Zhi discussed the alienation of people by money, he said: When meat-eaters organize production with money, they will establish a power that dominates the producers based on the means of production! Because the producers have no means of production and no means of production, except for constantly creating conditions for others to dominate and enslave themselves through labor, there is nothing else to do.

Sun Kehong saw it with his own eyes. Insults, beatings, accommodation worse than prison, food worse than pig food, and the power of domination that is almost like life and death were all displayed to the fullest, and this production relationship is abnormal.

"Governor Shen is a flowing official and will eventually enter the court as an official, but I am a local of Songjiang Prefecture. I cannot watch my hometown being trampled to such a state by these beasts. If this continues, when the poor people and laborers can't bear it and rise up, they will only rush into my house and kill my family inside and out." Sun Kehong explained the reason why he was so excited.

The holy monarch is like the sun in the sky. This world shouldn't be like this.
