Chapter 250
"Your Highness... defying the ancestral wishes may not be wise..." Jia Xun hesitated to speak, knowing his words would have little effect, yet the traditionalist in him couldn’t help but voice his concerns.
Qin Jun waved his hand and said, "Do you desire the Qianyue Kingdom, or would you prefer a more prosperous new kingdom? Or perhaps even an Imperial Dynasty?"
Those words extinguished the dissatisfaction in Jia Xun’s heart and instead accelerated his heartbeat.
An Imperial Dynasty held an unimaginable allure for him!
The difference between being a Grand Preceptor in a kingdom and an Imperial Dynasty was like that between the clouds and the mud!
Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, then closed his eyes to enter a state of cultivation, with the little Torch Dragon snoring as it slept on his back, leaning against his shoulder, plunging everything into tranquility.
Time hurried past, and the various kingdoms were plunged into turmoil.
Under Zhang Jue’s rule, the Canglan Kingdom swiftly integrated, with its people and all walks of life returning to normal developmental tracks. Even statues of Qin Jun were being erected in various cities to venerate him among the populace.
Initially, the people were somewhat resistant, but after finding that their lives weren’t greatly affected—indeed, they even gained several benefits and saw a reduction in taxes—their hearts began to align with Qin Jun.
Of course, all this was instigated by Qin Jun and executed by Zhang Jue.
On the other hand, the Black Dragon Kingdom, with its emperor assassinated, saw power-hungry factions rise up in rebellion, plunging it into a chaotic age of warring lords.
