Chapter 160: 094 Under me, all are equal [Chapter 3] _2 Chapter 160: 094 Under me, all are equal [Chapter 3] _2 The old Emperor laughed, “Come sit over here, I called you over just to chat casually. I don’t have any old friends to talk with.”
“Yes,” Yang Ming lowered his head and moved forward.
He fetched a chair and sat at a spot slightly at the back.
The old Emperor didn’t say much, eating that sticky porridge-like food while watching a variety show, laughing out loud from time to time.
But after laughing, the old Emperor looked thoughtful, and muttered, “Edwan?”
“Father.”
“Do you think the values conveyed by this program are correct?”
The old Emperor said slowly,
“For the sake of entertainment, they are constantly making a spectacle, shamelessly attacking others’ weaknesses, deliberately making people play the clown… Isn’t this a bit excessive?”
Edwan laughed, “Father, this has become quite common. The content of TV variety shows is guided by ratings, which means that the public likes to watch these kinds of shows that help them relax.”
“But this doesn’t mean the production team can have no bottom line.”
The old Emperor put down his spoon and looked up at Edwan.
“Go shut down this TV station, and imprison the producers, actors, directors, and staff related to this show for three months.”
Edwan hurriedly said, “Father, perhaps we could use admonishment to remind them of their value direction issues…”
The old Emperor raised one finger, “This is a decree.”
Edwan frowned slightly, about to say something when Yang Ming suddenly said, “Your Highness, I can handle this.”
“Yang Ming, you stay, we haven’t had our delightful chat today,” the old Emperor glanced at Yang Ming, “Edwan, now, immediately.”
Edwan’s expression was a bit stiff.
He sat there, looking at the Emperor right in front of him, his lips trembling slightly.
Suddenly, Edwan muttered, “Should we also imprison their investors?”
“You decide,” the old Emperor squinted and smiled.
Yang Ming indeed sighed in relief.
“Okay, Father, I will enforce your decree right away.”
Edwan rose with a smile, bowed to the old Emperor, and stepped towards the palace gate.
The old Emperor hummed a leisurely tune, casually switching TV channels, seemingly looking for the next target.
“Shall we discuss a new topic, Yang Ming?”
The old Emperor suddenly asked, “What do you think about the revival of conservative liberalism?”
Yang Ming swallowed hard.
Goodness, this Intelligent Machine is too abstract.
If not for the hidden earpiece in his ear, with Lyu providing support from outside, he wouldn’t even know what conservative liberalism is.
Quickly, Yang Ming began to speak eloquently, and the old Emperor listened with great interest.
Before they knew it, two hours had passed easily.
A maid hurriedly came to report, “Your Majesty, Princess Dana refuses to take her medicine.”
The old Emperor frowned slightly, “Tell her, when you’re sick, you must take medicine; this is a decree.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The maid bowed and hurriedly left.
The old Emperor mumbled, “This woman thinks too highly of herself, a princess is an Emperor’s wife, but just one among many.”
Yang Ming kept silent beside him.
He certainly didn’t want to get involved in the struggle between the Intelligent Machine old Emperor and the supervising old consort.
“The good mood has been spoiled by her.”
The old Emperor tossed the electronic book aside, his expression somewhat ugly, then said,
“By the way, Yang Ming, I have a few questions to consult you.”
Yang Ming did not understand why the old Emperor was so polite to him.
The old Emperor was formidable to those around him—from the manner of the maid earlier, it was clear.
“Yang Ming, do you think,” the old Emperor asked, “there are divine beings in this world?”
“They exist.”
Yang Ming answered without hesitation.
“Why?”
“That depends on how you define the existence of divine beings.”
Yang Ming said slowly,
“According to existing archaeological data, human civilization in the Milky Way was seeded in batches, with small civilizations slowly thriving, evolving, battling, annexing, disappearing, and rebuilding, which brought about the current distribution of territories in the Milky Way.
“Even, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, the Milky Way had several unified powerful empires, but these gradually vanished with time.
“I think those higher-dimensional human civilizations that sowed the seeds of human civilization represent divine beings to us.”
The old Emperor smiled, “Indeed, I heard you mentioned Ancient God Life Forms last time; do you think they are divine beings?”
“I don’t think so.”
Yang Ming shook his head,
“Ancient God Life Forms can exist eternally, considered as foundational life of the five-dimensional world, or four-dimensional, five-dimensional amphibious life forms, but they can be destroyed by super high energy.
“Even if one could see traces of them in the five-dimensional world, they should just be some cattle grazing on the prairie.
“My view is, there exists a divine-level civilization, but no divine-level individual.”
“I agree with your point.”
The old Emperor smacked his lips, “The Sherman Empire once killed an Ancient God Life Form and used its cells for human immortality research.”
Yang Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
Did the old Emperor know something?
Fortunately, the old Emperor continued, “It’s a pity; they researched for hundreds of years without any success. Human immortality is fundamentally impossible; the human body is inherently fragile. So who do you think should take my place when I die?”
“The Second Prince, without a doubt.”
Yang Ming laughed, “I’m a confidant of the Second Prince.”
The old Emperor was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter, pounding the table.
“You are indeed an interesting fellow! Hahaha! Indeed, the other two Princes disgust me; their greedy faces make me sick!”
The old Emperor suddenly shifted his tone,

“I’m going to reclaim military power, Yang Ming, and I hope you can play a crucial role in it.
“Soon I will order directly, placing you in a high position to tussle with those old foxes in the military, don’t be afraid, just go for it.
“I’m very dissatisfied with the current state of this country, to be honest.”
In Yang Ming’s heart, a faint light flickered, and he softly asked, “Your Majesty, what do you find unsatisfactory?”
“The individual differences among humans are actually very small.”
The old Emperor said slowly,
“This can be deduced and proven since the expected lifespan of a human individual is at an average value.
“But now, the disparity in living environments of individuals in this country is too great, the welfare, and resources individuals enjoy are equally vastly different.
“I have been studying the country’s problems recently and found a shortcut to solve this problem.
“If we dissolve all the wealthy class and redistribute wealth and resources evenly on everyone’s head, we can solve most of the problems.
“This idea is great, isn’t it?”
The old Emperor’s eyes gleamed with a bit of light, murmuring softly,
“Under me, all are equal.”
Yang Ming tried to maintain a smile, though his heart was in tumult.
“An Intelligent Machine is right beside me.”
“Regarding the little matter of releasing a demon.”
“Of course.”
The old Emperor lightly sighed,
“These are just my thoughts; it would take a long time to truly implement them, to proceed one step at a time.
“Alright, that will be all for today; I need to check on my naughty Little Daina.
“Go back and wait for my reward; I’ll give you renown, honor, and you go fight the battles for me, this is your latest bounty task.”
“My honor, Your Majesty.”
Yang Ming stood and saluted, although he heard the Emperor would confer a title on him, he couldn’t get excited.
Would this old Emperor run amok?
He had painstakingly created this good situation.
That night, Yang Ming didn’t go on a date with Miss Windsor; he lay in the bed of his small villa, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the old Emperor’s murmured words continuously replaying in his mind.
‘”Under me, all are equal.”‘
“Lyu, what do you think rank I will get?”
“This is uncertain, it all depends on the Emperor’s whims,” Lyu said softly, “You should rest; you’ll naturally know in a few days.”
“Keep an eye on Gudun Mah, make sure there are no issues with his side of the plan.”
“Okay, boss, goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
