Genshin Impact: The Great Evil Dragon’s Death System

Chapter 629: The Official Position of the Imperial Clerk, Shinobu Kuki

Narukami Island, Inazuma Castle, the castle tower, and the Imperial Conference.

The so-called Imperial Conference is the court meeting of Inazuma. Inazuma is a divine country, and General Raiden is both a god and an emperor, so he always has the final say.

Her decision is the law of heaven, the rule, and no one dares to oppose it.

Even though many officials of the shogunate suffered greatly from the isolation order, they did not dare to oppose it.

She is basically a dictator.

But the power actually lies in the Assessment Office, which is controlled by the Three Great Families. General Raiden cannot handle so many government affairs alone, so they have to be handled by the Three Great Families.

Inazuma holds a royal meeting every year, either on New Year's Day or on the birthday of the Thunder Twins, depending on General Raiden's mood.

Ministers from all over the country and officials from the Three Bugyo would come here to pay their respects, offer some auspicious signs, and say some words praising General Lei Dian.

Everyone just has fun.

If matters really need to be discussed, they will be discussed by the top leaders of the Three Envoys, and they are just executors.

The Imperial Conference is a tradition of Raiden Shin's era. Raiden Shin was the first Shogun Raiden. He had a calm personality and was good at listening to the voices of the people. He would conduct prior inspections and discuss with the ministers before implementing various policies.

In the era of Raiden, politics was clear and the country was prosperous. There were hundreds of ghosts roaming at night and big monsters gathering. It was known in history as the Hatsudo Era.

What about Lei Movie? She never ruled the country properly, leaving everything to the puppet general and staying alone in Yixin Pure Land.

Before the court meeting.

General Raiden received Shinobu Kuki and Ichito Aratake.

The heads of the three magistrates and General Tengu knelt nearby and watched the audience with General Raiden.

Shinobu Kuki and Ichito Aratake knelt under the throne of General Raiden, very cautiously.

Arata Ito is usually fearless, but when he meets General Lei Dian, he becomes a coward, daring not to even fart, let alone look up at General Lei Dian.

I kept looking at the cheat sheet I had prepared at the last minute.

While General Raiden was considering Kuki Shinobu's abilities, Shinsuke Hiiragi carefully looked at Ichito Aratake.

Arata Ichito's physique shows that he is a fierce warrior no matter how you look at him, and his red demon horns are very characteristic of the demon clan.

It is said that during the Lei Dian Zhen era, there was a ghost general under the seat of General Lei Dian, who fought for the general and made great contributions.

It seems that the General is attracted by Aratake Ito's identity as a demon clan member.

It’s such a pity. If only Aradaki Ichito had been discovered earlier, he could have been recruited as a member of the Hiiragi family and become the proud son of the Hiiragi family.

But it’s not too late now. He will ask the general to let him train Aradaki Ichito later.

The Kujo family has its own Tengu general, and the Hiiragi family also needs to have its own Oni general.

I heard that the Kamisato family supports Brahma Dragon King as the Rock Dragon General, so the three families will have their own generals.

General Raiden tested Kuki Shinobu's abilities one by one, and Kuki Shinobu did not try to be cunning.

After returning home yesterday, she told her family with a sad face that General Lei Dian had set his sights on her, and she and her sister planned to play dumb to escape.

But he was severely criticized by his father.

Kuki Shinobu's family had long been fed up with Kuki Shinobu's fooling around with the thugs of the Arotaki faction, and now that she has been favored by General Raiden, having her allowed into the hall is simply a blessing they have earned in several lifetimes!

Wanting to play dumb is not only deceiving the emperor, but also betraying their expectations.

Hisagi Shinobu's mother said that if she dared to deceive the emperor, her entire family would be exposed, and everyone would be prepared to have their homes confiscated.

After hearing those harsh words, Jiuqi Shinobu didn't dare to fool General Lei Dian anymore.

He used his usual abilities to deal with General Lei Dian's test.

General Lei Dian examined a lot of things, including astronomy and geography, criminal laws and regulations, local customs, military talents, literary creation, governance... and even the customs and folkways of foreign countries.

Jiuqi Shinobu answered each question perfectly, and even introduced foreign policies to broaden General Raiden's horizons, which made General Raiden's eyes full of interest.

"Liyue is a kingdom of merchants. Liyue Harbor brings together the trade of the entire continent. The fine wine of Mondstadt, the spices of Xumi, the technology of Fontainebleau... all contribute to the prosperity of Liyue."

Jiuqi Shinobu's words all involved the isolation order, and he was thinking of ways to get General Raiden to open the sea.

However, General Lei Dian's belief in isolation is deeply rooted in his heart and he will never rashly abolish the order.

She said, "You are right. Liyue has become prosperous because of its opening up. But how long can the prosperity last? The situation on the continent is not peaceful, on the contrary it is very tense."

"In winter, the army is developing and sharpening its swords. The Fatui are rampant on the continent, bullying other countries. If the gods hadn't stopped them, a large-scale war would have broken out on the continent long ago."

"As for the prosperity of Liyue Harbor, everyone pursues a better life, but the rich and the poor will never disappear. Liyue can make a group of people rich, but it is impossible for everyone to be rich."

"By then, there will be another turmoil where conflicts erupt in unrest, and even gods will find it difficult to control people's greed."

"Prosperity is good, but it is not eternal. What I want is eternal existence. After thousands of years, Liyue, Fontaine, and Zhidong will no longer exist, but I, Inazuma, will exist forever."

"..."

Jiuqi remained silent. It seemed that General Raiden's policy of isolating the country from the outside world was irreversible.

Kujo Sara breathed a sigh of relief that General Raiden was not angry. If an ordinary person had suggested that she abolish the isolation order, he would have been beheaded long ago. Why would he be so patient in explaining her actions?

She was really worried about her good friend. It was a must for an official to learn how to protect himself.

General Raiden then commented on Kuki Shinobu, "Kuki Shinobu, I have put you through many difficult tests, but you have answered them fluently and without any stage fright. I have never seen such an almighty person."

"If you pass the test, you will be my personal servant and keep track of my daily life."

The ministers were surprised. The imperial servants were the general's attendants, responsible for conveying the general's orders to the ministers and reporting the ministers' opinions to the general.

Today it is equivalent to the boss's secretary, and in ancient times it was equivalent to the emperor's eunuch.

General Raiden has always been autocratic and has never appointed a personal servant. Now, promoting a commoner like Kuki Shinobu to be a personal servant can be said to be a quick promotion.

The Left Minister and the Right Minister all want to become the general's servants. Although they have no power, they serve the general and are the emperor's confidants, who can always control the court situation.

Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke looked at Hisagi Shinobu deeply. They all knew in their hearts that Hisagi Shinobu had been highly valued by General Raiden. If he performed well in the future, he might surpass them and become the Prime Minister who was in charge of all affairs.

Jiuqi Shinobu did not feel the ecstasy of reaching the sky high, but rather the loss of falling to the bottom of the valley.

It was both the annoyance of stepping into the chaos of officialdom and General Lei Dian's deep-rooted policy of closing the country to the outside world.

In her opinion, if the lockdown order remained in place, there would be no point in being in this position.

According to General Lei Dian's etiquette, all changes are challenges to eternity, so what is the point of being an official?

Even treacherous ministers in troubled times know that policies must be changed from time to time, otherwise the people under them will rebel.

The shogun of Raiden Shogun is just a figurehead, and no matter how high his position is, he has no power.
