Chapter 414: Self-deception in a new bottle but the same substance
So Gu Chen asked:
"This title sounds quite impressive, but what's the point of giving me such a title?"
"Of course it makes sense!"
There was a burst of excitement in Yaejin's eyes:
"As long as you accept this honorific title, you will be considered one of our Inazuma family!
Ouch, don't look at me like that.
You can be the Gou Chen Star of Liyue, you can be the Honorary Grand Commander of Mondstadt, why can't you be the Supreme Grand Master of the Heavenly Palace of our Inazuma?
With this honorific title, we are the Inazuma people...
Ah, no, Inazuma-sama! A deity more noble than the shadow!
As long as you become a god more noble than the shadow, then everything you do in Inazuma will be justified. Inazuma can bear whatever you want to do, and can only bear it!"
After listening to the theory of the Eightfold Son of God, Gu Chen fell silent.
Wow, in a sense, this is really a kind of packaging.
Giving yourself such a long and powerful title is equivalent to giving yourself a legal identity.
If he were an outsider, whether it was implicating those nobles or stationing troops in Inazuma, it sounded unacceptable to Inazuma.
But what if I became the Inazuma God? What if the Inazuma God is even more noble than the Thunder General?
If you do all this, Inazuma will be able to accept it.
And you have to accept it no matter what.
What is this? If you can't beat them, then join them?
Before being forced to accept punishment? First, give Gu Chen a layer of Inazuma God's own skin, and then accept the punishment more at ease?
Isn’t this a bit... self-deceptive?
After thinking about it for a while with an awkward mood, Gu Chen still felt... awkward!
At the same time, he had a new understanding of the beauty and wisdom of Yae Shinko.
Not to mention her beauty.
As a member of the Baichen Fox Clan, beauty is the least valuable and most superficial thing about the Eightfold Son of God.
Her wisdom is reflected in the solution she proposed and her political compromise.
To be able to come up with such a method, she is worthy of being the wise and beautiful Lady Yaezamiko!
Seeing that Gu Chen had a subtle expression but did not object, Yae Shenzi moved closer, seducing him while striking while the iron was hot:
“In addition to the title of Supreme Lord, you requested a garrison at Inazuma.
This stationed army...the name must also be changed!"
Gu Chen's head was full of black lines:
"How to change?"
Knowing that Gu Chen had somewhat agreed in his heart, Yajen Shenzi suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, her eyes sparkling:
"If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to send Liyue's Thousand Rock Army to garrison Inazuma, right?
Once the Qianyan Army arrived in Inazuma, it would no longer be convenient to call them the Qianyan Army.
It would be better to change the name to...Tianzhiyuzhong Army, or Yuzun Army.
At the very least, it should be renamed Gou Chen Army.
Anyway, we can’t just call the Qianyan Army directly, otherwise the people of Inazuma will be upset! "
Gu Chen felt completely helpless.
Well, it’s another self-deceiving plot of the same old stuff in a new bottle.
Although it is still the Thousand Waves Army in essence, the name must be changed so that the people of Inazuma can accept it more.
As long as you can accept it at the beginning, you will get used to it later.
The reason why the name of the army stationed in Inazuma had to be changed was very simple.
Simply calling it the Thousand Rock Army would be too straightforward, and it would easily remind people of Liyue's military occupation and military control of Inazuma in a certain sense.
But changing it to another army name makes this army name have a strong ancient element.
It sounds like this army doesn't look like the Qianyan Army, but more like Gu Chen's private army.
Is it Qianyan Army or Gu Chen’s private army? Does it sound important?
Very important!
If it is still called the Thousand Waves Army, the people of Inazuma will feel uncomfortable.
But if it is changed to a name that sounds like Gu Chen's private army, the people of Inazuma will be more accepting of it.
Because Lord Gu Chen is their Lord of the Heavens, the Supreme Lord of the Heavens, and their own god, Inazuma.
Think about it this way, and do the math:
Lord Gu Chen's private army is equivalent to Inazuma's army.
Not the armies of other countries.
Doesn’t it sound much better when you hear it this way?
For the Inazuma people, it is more acceptable.
It's still the same principle, changing the name but not the substance is just deceiving yourself.
From Yae Shinko's actions, Gu Chen also truly felt Inazuma's character.
how to say……
Inazuma people pay too much attention to superficial things.
As long as these things are acceptable on the surface, who cares what's inside? They can all ignore it! And they can all accept it!
Gu Chen was unable to comment on this.
As the beneficiary, it is difficult for him to comment.
After pondering for a long time with an awkward expression, Gu Chen finally nodded under the expectant gaze of the Eightfold Divine Son:
“Well, as long as you’re happy, changing your name is no big deal.
Then we'll change the name to Gou Chen Army. It sounds simple and clear, and people will know it's my army."
Yae Shenzi nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes shining with excitement, and she was obviously very happy with the development of things.
Looking at the Eightfold Son of God speechlessly, Gu Chen said:
"As expected of you, you know how to compromise.
So, what about the implicated nobles?
You know, I'm going to kill a lot of people this time, and they're all nobles and powerful people.
If this continues, at least three-quarters of the Inazuma nobles will be gone. It's no exaggeration to say that rivers of blood will flow."
When this matter was mentioned, Yaejinko looked indifferent:
“Hey, those things don’t matter!
After killing one batch, there will be another batch.
When the old nobles step down, new nobles will immediately take their places. The shogunate will never be short of manpower!
What's more, now that you have become the Supreme Grand Master of our Inazuma, this matter will be no big deal.
If a noble dares to offend a god who is more noble than the general, he must bear the consequences of destruction.
A god more noble than the general wants to destroy these nobles. Who dares to speak out? Who dares to oppose? Who dares to speak out!?
Seeing that the Eightfold Son of God didn't take the lives of the nobles seriously, Gu Chen nodded in his heart.
He is a man of means and ruthlessness, not bad.
Lei Dianying is really lucky to have Yae Shinko by his side to assist him.
Turning his head to look at Lei Dianyi who had been silent beside him, Gu Chen finally nodded:
"All right.
It's just a matter of adding a title and changing the name of the army. It's beneficial to me, so I agree."
Yae Shinko clasped her hands together with joy and smiled charmingly:
"Great! That's a deal!"
That leaves only one last thing to be resolved.”
Gu Chen couldn't help asking:
"whats the matter?"
The smile on Yaejinko's lips was a little stiff:
"Everything I just said, everything I just agreed to, Ying...she doesn't particularly agree!"
Gu Chen was silent for about two or three seconds, and then he almost turned hostile:
"Then what's the point of you saying all this!? Isn't this just wishful thinking?"
