The supervisor was the second-in-command of Great Zhou back then.
Although he was not the Prime Minister, nor was he the commander of the army, the influence his Overwatch Council had on the Great Zhou was enormous.
The existence of the Overwatch Council was a historical precedent.
An independent yamen that would not be restricted by external forces and strictly adhered to fairness and justice was something that was hard to imagine in the past dynasties.
Because to the royal family, the Overwatch Council could, to a certain extent, resist the imperial power.
What they believed in was not that the Son of Heaven spoke of justice, but that justice was above the Son of Heaven.
If the Overwatch Council convicted someone, it would be impossible for the emperor to pardon them.
Unless you have a good reason.
Such a yamen was dangerous to the royal family.
Because the power was too great and too special.
To the officials, the Overwatch Council was a sharp sword hanging over their heads.
Who knows when it would come down.
They needed to constantly remind themselves not to make mistakes, because once they made a mistake, it would be very difficult to escape the Overwatch Council's sight.
Thus, the Overwatch Council was destined to be hated by all officials.
We are all scholars, a noble group of people with culture and morals. Why should they use the stinky Overwatch Council to guard against us?
To the nobles, the Overwatch Council was like a fishbone stuck in their throats.
They had worked hard their entire lives to obtain a noble title. They should have been superior to others and enjoyed it as much as they wanted.
But the existence of the Overwatch Council gave them another layer of scruples when they did evil.
They knew that if they had really committed a crime, the Overwatch Council would not let them off just because of their status.
This was the Overwatch Council.
From the very beginning, it was filled with controversy.
The people who truly supported the Overwatch Council in the world were divided into two categories.
Or rather, there were two types.
Firstly, the people of the world needed a place that was absolutely fair and just.
One was the Great Zhou Taizu.
Without his insistence, the Overwatch Council would not have been born.
But why was Taizu so insistent back then?
In fact, the root cause came from the supervisor.
Because the superintendent was a person who was absolutely upright, fair, and couldn't be bothered by anything.
He loved the people and would not belittle others because of their low status.
He upheld the law, but under the harsh law, he had the warmth of a human being.
Only such a person was suitable to be a supervisor of the Overwatch Council.
Think about it. The Overwatch Council had such great power. If the person sitting in the position of overseer was someone with evil intentions, what terrible consequences would there be?
Thus, due to the special nature of the Overwatch Council, when the superintendent left, he had a premonition that it would be very difficult for him to return, so he set up a test.
His test was very simple.
He could just find a second him!
This was the mission of the Truth Revealing Mirror.
It was a rare treasure refined by the supervisor. Although it had slept for countless days and nights, it still remembered the orders given by its master.
It wanted to find someone who was similar to its master and give him the position of supervisor.
However, be it the Truth Questioning Mirror or the supervisor, none of them would have thought of this.
This search took thousands of years.
With the passage of time, the Overwatch Council had even been forgotten.
If Wu Sansi hadn't woken it up, the Truth Questioning Mirror might have been sleeping forever.
The Truth Questioning Mirror finally arrived at the palace.
It floated above the throne room.
It knew nothing about Ye Ning.
However, this did not affect its ability to recognize Ye Ning.
The Artifact Spirit's mind was active. It almost instantly determined that Ye Ning was facing a huge problem.
Like a sophisticated machine, it immediately figured out why Wu Sansi had suddenly awakened it.
Wu Sansi was gambling.
They were betting that Ye Ning would be able to pass the test and obtain the recognition of the Truth Revealing Mirror.
If it succeeded, then no one in the court would be able to touch it.
"It's not an easy thing to obtain my recognition.”
The Truth Questioning Mirror concealed its own light.
This occasion was very suitable to test a person.
Ye Ning, who was in the imperial court, would not know that there was a mirror observing him from outside.
He crossed his arms and looked at everyone coldly.
Obviously, he was enraged.
He wanted to use this stance to anger everyone present.
Come on!
Be angry!
Then kill me.
It had to be said that Ye Ning's eyes were filled with ridicule.
He did not speak.
There was no movement.
That pair of eyes was like a knife, causing everyone's backs to be pricked.
Those despicable thoughts hidden in their hearts were suddenly revealed as if they were illuminated by the sun, leaving them nowhere to hide.
"Ye, you have already committed a crime that will definitely kill you. Not only do you not repent, but you actually dare to be so arrogant!”
A minister couldn't stand Ye Ning's gaze and said angrily.
If possible, after Ye Ning died, he wanted to gouge out Ye Ning's eyes.
"Ye Ning, didn't you say that you want to uphold justice and fairness? Since that's the case, why don't you commit suicide? You have to know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!”
There were also people who saw that Ji Mingyue had not made a decision and jumped out to moral blackmail, wanting Ye Ning to commit suicide.
But he didn't know that Ye Ning dared to do anything except suicide.
"I did disobey the decree, but I won't commit suicide because I won't feel guilty for what I did. On the contrary, I'm very honorable. How could a glorious person commit suicide?”Ye Ning grinned and laughed mockingly."I can die, but I will die gloriously…Unfortunately, you won't understand this!”
The Truth Revealing Mirror fluctuated slightly.
An invisible light shone on Ye Ning's body.
It realized that Ye Ning's words were not a lie. He was really not afraid of death.
He was completely different from the others he had tested.
The others were at most unafraid of death, but what about Ye Ning? He was even willing to embrace death.
This was a person who had transcended the boundary between life and death!
The Truth Questioning Mirror entered the testing process.
The first round, passed!
Then, his light continued to spread. It was still invisible, but it spread to everyone.
This was its ability.
The word "heart questioning" was not called for nothing. It could see through illusions and directly reach the deepest thoughts in people's hearts.
Thus, he saw the viciousness in the hearts of all the civil and military officials.
They were very twisted.
Everyone was cowardly, shameless, and greedy.
They wanted Ye Ning dead.
However, they knew very well that Ye Ning did not deserve to die.
This made the Truth Mirror feel incredulous.
As enemies, they actually viewed Ye Ning in this way.
Although he hated her, he was even more jealous.
Why are you so righteous?
Why are you so unafraid of death?
Why do you seem to attract the light of the whole world?
We hate you so much that we even feel guilty.
Because of your existence, we don't look like humans!
This strange and complicated emotion made the Truth Revealing Mirror feel incredulous.
Then, it went deep into the hearts of Cai Xianggao and the other two.
What did it see?
He trusted Ye Ning more than he trusted himself.
It could be said that for these three people, they would rather believe that they betrayed themselves than believe that Ye Ning would betray them.
This kind of trust was beyond the scope of the Truth Mirror's understanding.
As a weapon spirit, it was unable to keenly capture every complicated side of human nature.
However, this did not prevent him from making such a judgment.
"This is a person that the enemy hates, but admires to the point of feeling ashamed of his inferiority.”
"At the same time, he also gained the trust of his own people. In the eyes of his own people, he is the embodiment of light.”
"The second stage, passed!"
The Truth Questioning Mirror didn't touch Ji Mingyue's heart.
As the Chief Supervisor's magic tool, it naturally couldn't touch Tian Zi. This was not right.
This was enough.
It had already confirmed that Ye Ning was indeed different from the people it had tested in the past.
It was very outstanding.
He was so outstanding that he could embrace death with a welcoming attitude.
However, it was still not in a hurry to make a decision.
This was not enough.
If he wanted to move it, Ye Ning still needed to show more things.
"What a glorious death!" The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, who had vomited blood earlier, stood up again. His eyes were filled with hatred."You just want to seek fame, but you won't succeed. You disobeyed the decree, which is a serious crime. The history books will record your death.”
Ye Ning sneered.
"The history books will also record your shamelessness.”
The Minister of Personnel Affairs gritted his teeth.
Ye Ning was always like this. One sentence could make people so disgusted.
"Ye Ning, why do you always act so righteous? Do you think you're the embodiment of truth?”
Someone else stood up.
They should not have argued with Ye Ning, but they really could not stand Ye Ning's attitude.
How can a loser like you make us look up to you and talk to you?
"I never thought I was the embodiment of truth, but you must be synonymous with despicable.”
Ye Ning said lightly.
"What's the use of your glib tongue? In the end, you still haven't changed anything. The truth is in the hands of the majority, and there are very few people who stand on your side!”
"Only cows and sheep flock together, while wild beasts always walk alone.”
"You!"
People realized that they were indeed unable to overwhelm Ye Ning with words.
Because from a moral standpoint, they were the ones who couldn't stand on.
Ye Ning was able to raise his head and speak because he didn't need to lower his head.
But what about them?
Would they dare to raise their heads?
There were many people who were higher than them. There were six kings and immortal sects.
They had to remain humble.
This was the difference between a great person and a despicable person.
This psychological difference made them even more unwilling to let Ye Ning live. This person had to die!
Everyone was lowering their heads, so why was it only you who was holding your head high?
If you can live with your head held high, then wouldn't it be meaningless for us to lower our heads?
"Your Majesty, please kill Ye Ning!"
"Your Majesty, please kill Ye Ning!"
"Your Majesty, please kill Ye Ning!"
The ministers bowed again.
This was the only thing they could do.
As long as Ye Ning died, their morals would no longer be tormented.
Ji Mingyue, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was unable to make a decision.
"Your Majesty!"
Some of them even started to threaten him.
"The Six Nations and the Celestial Gate don't want to see him live either! If you don't kill him today, have you ever thought that you'll incur the wrath of the Celestial Gate? At that time, how should we end this?"
Ji Mingyue clenched her fists tightly.
Because he had used too much strength, his joints had turned white.
"Ye Ning, if you're still from the Great Zhou, then kill yourself! Your existence will only anger the Celestial Sect. Only when you die will you be loyal to your country. This era doesn't need people like you!”
Some people shouted loudly and tried to kidnap him again.
This era doesn't need people like me?
Ye Ning took a deep breath, his eyes clouded with sorrow.
"If the sky is dark, then survive in the dark. If it was dangerous to make a sound, then keep silent. If they felt that they were unable to shine, they would curl up in the corner of the wall. But don't get used to the darkness and justify it; Don't be proud of yourself; Don't mock those who are braver and more passionate than you. We can be as humble as dust, but not as twisted as maggots.”
Ye Ning said slowly.
Every word he said was like a heavy hammer that smashed into everyone's hearts.
They could be as humble as dust, but not as twisted as maggots.
The clamoring crowd fell into a strange silence.
Ye Ningming's clear voice could be heard from the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime. Please issue an order to kill me!”
Ye Ning straightened his back.
He raised his head.
So proud.
"My lord!"
Cai Xianggao and the other two knelt down, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Everyone looked at Ye Ning. No matter what their standpoint was, when he said this, their perspective became…looking up!
The Truth Questioning Mirror emitted a dazzling light.
This time, he did not hide his existence.
A clear light gathered from the nine heavens.
"The new Overwatch Council Director: Ye Ning!!!”
It was an unfamiliar voice that was filled with endless majesty.
It came from all directions.
At this moment, everyone in the capital looked up.
Boom!
Azure light pierced through the hall.
