บท 80: Coax Me

The words came out more bitterly than Yan Zheyun intended. The emperor had left him to his own devices for quite some while and he'd had the time to ruminate on the best course of action after Wu Bin had departed. The waiter had returned to lead Yan Zheyun to this new room where dinner was waiting for him but he had no appetite and didn't feel like putting on a front.

(1) This saying seems to be a misunderstanding of earlier Confucian principles, changing in meaning from records in the Qin Dynasty such that by the Qing Dynasty (last dynasty), it was taken to mean the emperor’s absolute power over everything and everyone.

(2) An interpretation of the original Confucian principle by modern day academics.

(3) First two lines of a famous poem about longing for a lost love by Tang Dynasty poet, Yuan Zhen. Wushan (the same Wushan in ‘Wushan Abode’ hehe) is a reference to Wu Mountains in Yunmeng County (yes, the Yunmeng in Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation lol) and not to the mountains in modern Wushan County. In case anyone is curious about what this beautiful sight should look like, I’ve uploaded some photographs I found online on discord!
