Chapter 164 The Emperor's Temptation, Causal Punishment
"By the way, when I was in Shendu, I was received by Empress Ruoyan. She has a few things she wants me to tell you." Hua Qing patted Wutong's hand, signaling him not to pinch it.
The name of this generation of Emperor Ming is Zhou Ruoyan. She is 51 years old this year, and she can be regarded as young and promising. She has been assisting the previous Emperor Ming since she was 30 years old.
Wu Tong sat back in his original position, playing with the exquisite teacup on the table, and said with an inexplicable smile: "Hehe, I thought that the emperors of all ages wished that I would not interfere in the world. I didn't expect that there would be some who took the initiative to report things to me. She thought Reflect what?"
"Empress Ruoyan wants to ask Heaven to send someone to monitor her. It can also be understood as protecting her safety. She was assassinated by a competitor when she came to the throne last year. Moreover, she doesn't want to see herself go astray and become a puppet of power. When she When she made a mistake, the empress hoped that someone could correct her. She told me: 'A matter of China, no matter how small it is, it is a big matter.'" Hua's voice was very calm, she pondered for a moment, and concluded, "She doesn't want her decision to harm China, I don’t want to be pushed to the execution ground by the people.”
"What do you think?" Indus asked with great interest.
"I'll listen to you." Hua said without thinking.
Hua felt that she should not get involved. She is not good at politics, so it is right to listen to Wutong. She can do whatever Wutong asks her to do. She doesn't have to worry about it.
Wu Tong didn't answer, he seemed to be thinking, only the sound of light music playing from the gramophone in the living room, Hua and Xiao Yun were very patient and didn't bother him.
Wutong didn't think about Emperor Ming's request, what he thought about was Zhou Ruoyan.
Last year, he had seen a picture of the empress, she looked very rigid from the face, wearing a pair of glasses, like a strict teacher. However, with good facial features, he should have looked pretty good when he was young.
According to Guan Xing, the empress has no stigmata, let alone qualifications, but she is very smart and not as inflexible as she seems. Also, it is impossible for a person without ability to climb to that position.
Shenzhou's current throne is not inherited, nor does it mean that if it has the highest vote rate, it will definitely be the emperor. Afterwards, it needs to be reviewed and tested by the heavenly court.
Hearing Hua's request from the empress today, Wutong felt that this Zhou Ruoyan might be more capable than the world imagined, and she was very sober and cautious.
Regardless of deeds or intentions, Wutong doesn't want to know what the empress thinks, whether she has ambitions or not, let's see what she does in the future.
"Does she have anything else to say?" Wutong put down the teacup and asked casually.
"Are you going to send someone to monitor her?" Hua asked curiously.
Indus shook his head: "Without that plan, Heavenly Court itself is short of manpower. Besides, it's not that there are no personnel stationed in the capital of God. Besides, there are fewer political personnel in Heavenly Court, and they are also indispensable in Heavenly Court. The rest A person with a high force value does not mean that he can handle the affairs of the mortal world well, pointing at the empress without authorization will only add to the chaos. The empress also knows this, so you don't have to pay too much attention to what she says."
"Your Majesty, what does that empress want to test your attitude with these words?" Xiao Yun asked thoughtfully.
"Almost, if I send someone to monitor her, she may change her behavior in the future. She doesn't seek merit, but seeks no fault."
"So that's how it is." Hua finally understood at this time, she didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in it, "By the way, can't Ji Lin? She can guide Emperor Ming and protect her at the same time."
"Ji Lin is too weak now, I'm afraid something will happen to her, and I still need her to handle chores for me." Wu Tong vetoed it.
"Ji Lin is weak?" Hua wondered, "How could she be weak?"
"That...Master...Master Ji Lin is very beautiful..." Xiao Yun reminded from the side.
Hua was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then said expressionlessly, "I see."
Ji Lin can be said to be the person who changes bodies most frequently in the Heavenly Court. As long as her duplicate body is over 20 years old, she will not want it.
Although Ji Lin was rich, she couldn't afford to change her body so frequently, so in the end, she would only change to some weaker bodies that were cheaper, which couldn't even bear her stigmata.
Ji Lin has rich combat experience and Xuanyuan Sword, but her body is too weak to exert her original strength.
Wutong gets angry when she sees Ji Lin now, she wears a little white silk to walk around the heaven every day, people who don't know think how tender this child is!
Of course, the reason why Wutong was angry was that Ji Lin wouldn't let him touch it, and he especially wanted to touch Ji Lin's little white silk.
"The empress still wants to restore the death penalty. She thinks that the punishment in Shenzhou is too cruel and inhumane at all." Hua took a sip of tea and continued to speak to Wutong.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I'm such a kind person, my heart is too soft, I can't bear to see the execution of prisoners." Wutong waved his hands, showing a compassionate look.
The death penalty in Shenzhou was abolished by Indus. He believes that even death row prisoners are extremely precious "resources" for human beings. It would be too wasteful to kill them casually.
Criminals who killed people or should have been sentenced to death can be sent to the laboratory! Is it not good to make great contributions to mankind?
If the prisoners can't stand the torture of the experiment, they can ask for death. After all, Wutong has a "Holy Mother" heart. As long as the prisoners agree to donate their healthy organs, Wutong will agree to let them die.
Of course, this cannot be called the death penalty. After all, the criminals insisted on their own death, and they were unwilling to let them die!
Poisoned criminals, who can be used to test humans
Reactions to various drugs; for arson, you can test the high temperature resistance; for killing people with a knife, you can test the resistance to Houkai; for abducting women and children, you can try to combine them with animal organs...
If you accidentally die, it can only mean that it is an accident, not an injury.
China now prefers to talk about "cause and effect" in punishing criminals.
For example: economic crimes, you can let them go to "mining", work 15 hours a day, the minimum wage every month, until the money is paid and then released.
Rapists can be castrated and then sent to "mining", and then released after serving their sentence. The castration technique handed down from ancient times in China cannot be lost.
Those who don't want to work can go to the laboratory.
"By the way, when I arrived at Jiuyou, I found that the candle dragon was gone. I led the girls to search there for many days, and finally found the candle dragon in the 'Abyss'. She was lying in it, as if she had transformed " Hua took out a miniature projector from his sleeve, turned it on, and said, "This is her transformed form, very similar to Dr. Mebius."
Wu Tong stared blankly at the image on the projector, and suddenly realized something.
After a long while, Wutong was about to get up and go back to Linshan, but, coincidentally, he just received a message on his communicator.
"Zhaojun is in a coma, and Dr. Mebius is gone."
The message was sent by Stargazing.
Indus replied silently: "Understood."
Then he sat back with a calm expression. It was late anyway, and there was no point in worrying. Snake ran away, it's not like she didn't run away, she couldn't escape the palm of Wutong.
"What's wrong?" Hua became nervous instead, "Does the doctor have some connection with Zhulong?"
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, don't worry." Indus said with a smile, "I said why is Zhulong so lazy! Hehe~ It's interesting. It seems that no matter how useless Mebius is, he can't relax his vigilance towards her. Hmm ...Looking at it this way, it turns out that the most useless one is Mebius No. 1, hehe~ It’s really interesting.”
