Chapter 828 Respect and Fear
Li Changxiao left the "Haoxiang Restaurant" and walked on the main street. He couldn't help but think of the past transactions. Li Changxiao helped Wang Ruyi correct the chaos of incense, and Wang Ruyi gave him a prosperous Dayu. Both of them did it.
Now, more than the chaos of incense has disappeared. Most of the cultivators have died one after another. Even if Li Changxiao releases his cultivation and flies high in the sky, I'm afraid no one will notice it.
He went to the palace and took a look at the current King of Dayu. He was an old man in his seventies or eighties, with white hair, handling government affairs. Li Changxiao stood in front of the imperial study and stared for a long time.
After the South China Sea Campaign, Wanxian filled the sea. Li Changxiao stayed in Dayu for several more years. He said he was bored, so he might as well continue to open a medical shop in Dayu. In fact, Wang Ruyi secretly asked him to stay, and Li Changxiao stayed to accompany him.

During this period, he often came to the imperial study to help Wang Ruyi regulate his body. She is a mortal after all. Even if she has all kinds of experiences and remains beautiful forever, she will always have problems with her body due to daily toil and mental fatigue.
Li Changxiao has become an imperial physician. When he regulates his body, he can't help but deal with some government affairs. After seeing it, he felt a headache and worry. The little insights he accumulated from his previous life are far from enough today. So he dare not comment casually. Professional matters need to be handled by professionals. Li Changxiao's fighting skills can be considered first-class. Even in today's world, it can be said that he is one of the few who can do it. However, he is far inferior to Wang Ruyi, who has a lifespan of only a hundred years, in governing the country and the people.
Li Changxiao looked for a long time, and then left again. A moment after he left, the monarch raised his head and frowned at the place where Li Changxiao had stood before.
His intuition told him that someone had just stood there for a long time, as if looking at him. He checked the mirror, which was the size of a palm and could retain images for several days.
He took out the spark and lit the "shadow lamp". The light shone on the mirror, reflecting the past portraits. He frowned and observed, wondering if he had been too busy recently and had hallucinations. Or someone wanted to assassinate him?
He saw that no figure appeared in the mirror. He was relieved. It was better to have hallucinations than to have someone standing at the door looking at him without knowing it. Just as he was about to blow out the "shadow lamp" and continue to handle government affairs.
Suddenly, a black boot broke into his vision. Following closely, a tall man stood at the door. He was dressed in white, with an indescribable temperament and a very handsome face. He wore a sword and wine at his waist. His clothes were actually a little messy, with loose cuffs and chest, and a few wrinkles.
The King of Dayu was shocked. His first thought was that someone had sneaked into the palace to stab him, and he immediately drew the sword at his waist. But suddenly he paused, staring at the sword in his hand, vaguely, it was very similar to the sword of the white-clothed swordsman.
He looked carefully, because of the angle, he could only see the scabbard of the sword and the blade of the sword. But the scabbard was exactly the same. The sword in his hand was the "King's Sword" of Dayu, symbolizing the imperial power of Dayu, and the key to mobilize the "King of Mountains and Seas".
At first, some people thought that this sword looked plain and had no domineering aura that a "King's Sword" should have. But as time went by, once this sword came out, it would be a bloody storm, so no one dared to underestimate this sword.
As a disciple of Wang Ruyi, King Dayu knew that the "King's Sword" of Dayu was originally just a long sword imitated by the then King of Dayu, Wang Ruyi, in memory of someone, according to his memory.
Because she held this long sword, it later became the King's Sword. The kings of Dayu are all outstanding people, and they are certainly not stupid. After discovering that his "king's sword" is almost exactly the same as the man's personal sword.
He immediately thought of a rumor. A rumor that was both delightful and terrifying to him. His master... came to see him.
This king who controls the lives and deaths of countless people and gradually indulges in the pinnacle of power, although he is diligent in handling government affairs on weekdays and the country is relatively clear, but standing above tens of millions of people, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no changes.
He was poured with a basin of cold water. Especially when he saw that the person in the painting was looking at him quietly. Those eyes were indescribably calm and deep. He knew that such a person could not be restricted by any power.
The peak of the imperial power of Dayu. He could make a single statement. But above the imperial power, there was still a person watching quietly. It was already late at night, and the king of Dayu was sweating all over, and the fatigue of handling government affairs just now was swept away.
He did not move his eyes until the man in the portrait left. Then his legs softened and he sat on the ground. He could not help but feel "respect and fear" for this master.
For the first time in his life, he had experienced this feeling. King Dayu came to his senses, ran out of the imperial study, knelt down with a plop, and said, "Meet the master."
A voice that seemed to be hidden and visible came: "Get up." Then there was a chuckle, and there was no more movement. King Dayu knelt on the ground and struggled. It was not until the eunuch came that he was helped up.
King Dayu said: "Quick! Call Qingzhi." Not long after, Yuan Qingzhi, the disciple of the emperor, hurried over. The master and the apprentice talked tremblingly, and both knew that the master, Li Changxiao, had met the two of them separately.
Yuan Qingzhi knelt down and exposed himself, telling King Dayu everything in his heart, whether it was ugly or evil. The two could not sleep all night, and the more they thought about it, the more afraid they became.
There is no perfect person in the world. Whether it is the current monarch or Yuan Qingzhi, there are many ugly things in their hearts. That is why the more they reflect on themselves, the more frightened they feel. Especially after seeing Li Changxiao, even though Li Changxiao is easy-going and did not deliberately scare the two of them. But the two of them scared themselves, and they were scared enough.
After that, for three days in a row, he wrote a letter of self-criticism overnight, issued it in the court, and circulated it throughout the market. As the saying goes, a gentleman asks about deeds rather than the heart. The deeds of King Dayu and Yuan Qingzhi were not really wrong. That "letter of self-criticism" felt like nitpicking.
But the sincere attitude of admitting mistakes made the officials of Dayu more honest. When the officials saw that King Dayu was so strict with himself, they tried to restrain their daily behavior.
