Chapter 354: Thunderous Means

"Follow me, Galaxy Power." Sinuo's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

But Ge Xiaolun couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind; if the tone was bad, so be it, as long as he didn't resort to violence, there wouldn't be any problem.

And so, he followed him quietly as he left.

Karl remained in the great hall, holding a quill and writing something, showing no sign of stopping for a long, long time.

Returning to Ye Cang's side.

Today was the first time Di Leina attended the morning court alone, handling the major affairs of the entire Lieyang alone.

Before attending court, Di Leina had been full of anticipation for everything.

That was until she proposed the plan for the Great Migration.

Once this plan was proposed, it was met with opposition from almost all the civil and military officials.

This situation left Di Leina at a loss for what to do for a moment.

The current situation was completely beyond her expectations; she had never dreamed that almost the entire court would oppose her Great Migration.

Only a few individuals were in favor.

Di Leina recognized these few people.

They were the most outstanding scholars of the last few decades who, relying on their own abilities, had forced their way into the Lieyang court, which had not changed for thousands of years.

But because their ideas were too shocking to the other officials in the Lieyang court, they had always been suppressed and marginalized.

If nothing unexpected happened, in another dozen years or so, their presence would vanish from this court.

It was just a pity that the support of only these few people could not achieve any significant effect.

After the court was dismissed, Di Leina was so angry that her eyes were spitting fire, looking like she wanted to bite someone and no one should provoke her.

Returning to her bedchamber, Di Leina kept hitting her pillow, venting the dissatisfaction in her heart.

It was at this moment that Ye Cang and Kaisha arrived together.

Seeing Di Leina fuming and still pounding her pillow, Ye Cang knew that Di Leina had most likely crashed and burned.

"Failed?"

Facing Ye Cang's inquiry, Di Leina did not answer, only blindly punching and pounding her pillow.

After a few hits, the poor pillow was forcefully beaten into cotton fluff filling the air.

Only then did Di Leina speak.

"Ahhh!"

"I'm so mad!"

"This bunch of old fogies! They only know how to bully me! When Pan Zhen was here, they were all like quails, not daring to say a single extra word."

"Pan Zhen could scare them into wetting their pants with just one look!"

"But as soon as I mentioned the Great Migration, they jumped out to criticize me, saying Lieyang cannot change, and that changing is breaking the rules, and things like that."

Facing Di Leina's complaints, Ye Cang only asked: "You weren't firm enough?"

"I was firm!"

"How were you firm?"

Di Leina recalled for a moment, then said: "After the court started, I first summarized the problems you mentioned, and then I brought up this matter."

"And I told them directly that the matter of the Great Migration had already been decided, and it was useless for anyone to say anything."

"As a result, as soon as I said it, some people started scolding me, some threatened to dash their brains out against the great hall, and others said they were going to write long-winded essays to complain about me."

"Anyway, not many agreed with me."

"But what puzzles me most is why, after I told them the news that Pan Zhen was dead, they weren't sad at all, but instead quite happy."

Regarding Di Leina's confusion, Kaisha, who was to the side, provided the answer.

"That's simple."

"When Pan Zhen was alive, he was the Regent; throughout the entire court, his word was law, and the interests he controlled were enormous."

"But now that he is dead, the interests he controlled have no one to manage them; don't you think that group of people would be happy?"

Di Leina suddenly realized.

"Oh~ so that's how it is!"

The next second, Di Leina flopped onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

"Ah... let's not talk about Pan Zhen anymore, can either of you help me think of a way, tell me what I should do to solve this!"

"I feel like if this goes on, I'm going to be reduced to a figurehead!"

"I don't want to become a Kulei Main God again!"

As she spoke, Di Leina began to crawl on her bed in a dark and twisted manner.

Up close it was a Di Leina, from afar it was a maggot.

To describe it in detail, it was a maggot wearing clothes.

Ye Cang and Kaisha exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

If they could, they would really like to solve these troubles for Di Leina.

It is a pity that, for now, they are outsiders to Lieyang.

If they were to appear rashly, it would very likely trigger a series of irreparable, major troubles.

Only by taking it slow could it work.

Watching Di Leina still crawling in a dark and twisted way, Ye Cang really couldn't bear to watch anymore, so he called for Di Leina to stop.

"Stop, don't crawl around like a maggot."

"I'll think of a way for you."

Upon hearing that Ye Cang would think of a way for her, Di Leina sat up from the bed with a 'whoosh', looking at Ye Cang with eyes shining bright.

That kind of fanatical gaze made even Ye Cang feel a bit overwhelmed.

"Don't look at me like that."

As Ye Cang said this, he reached out and turned Di Leina's face to the side.

"Let me make this clear to you first: my method requires the use of thunderous means; the slightest hesitation will cause it to fail immediately, understand!"

"Mm-hmm! Understand! Understand!" Di Leina nodded repeatedly, just like a chick pecking at rice.

Seeing this, Ye Cang continued, "After you attend court tomorrow, propose the Great Migration plan again."

"At that moment, someone will definitely jump out to continue opposing it; you must observe carefully and find the one who is shouting the loudest."

"Then, pin a trumped-up charge of treason on them, and use thunderous means to kill those few directly."

"After doing all this, you then question the others; I believe that after this sequence of operations, even if someone objects, they will only be able to keep it bottled up inside."

"Don't worry about anything else, I am here!"

After pondering for a moment, Di Leina was still somewhat uneasy.

"This, will this work?"

Ye Cang did not answer, and seeing this, Kaisha took over the conversation.

"Di Leina, remember, you are now the Main God, a Main God holding great power!"

"Everything in Lieyang is decided by you; all of them are your subjects, no one can question the King's decision, they only have the duty to obey!"

"Remember this point!"

After hearing this, Di Leina nodded, seemingly understanding yet not quite.

Afterwards, this matter was put to rest.

Di Leina and Ye Cang talked about the current population of Lieyang, as well as the large warships capable of carrying people.

"Ye Cang, the current population of Lieyang is roughly several tens of millions."

"As for large warships capable of carrying people, there is only that one Fangtian Boat, which can carry several hundred thousand people at a time."

"And to build another Fangtian Boat, it would take at least about half a year."

(I don't know how many people Lieyang has, I'm just making it up.)

"Half a year?" Ye Cang repeated. "Half a year is too long, I can't wait that long."

"Next, I still have to go to the Angel side; there isn't that much time to waste."
