Disputes!!

"Such voices are now emerging within the empire, quite loudly, otherwise they wouldn't have appeared on the red documents." The Old Man's voice rang out, calm and even.

Su Ye frowned and looked at the Old Man, but didn't speak, waiting for the Old Man to continue.

"As you know, the way society operates in the Empire is most different from other empires, but this has also brought some trouble to the Empire," the Old Man said calmly.

Su Ye looked at the Old Man, knowing exactly what kind of trouble the Old Man was referring to: a giant baby!

A bunch of overgrown babies who, after finishing their meal, start cursing as soon as they put down their bowls.

What they want is a socialist safety net and a capitalist lifestyle of luxury, but they don't want to make any sacrifices or efforts.

When faced with anything bad, they only complain and blame others, without trying to change anything.

Simply put, it means I ate too much.

"It's undeniable that bad things have happened in the Empire; that's an objective fact, and the Empire acknowledges it. As for these people, they are indeed stupid, and they are also quite hateful, but more than that, they are a bunch of clowns," the Old Man said calmly.

"The existence of this group is now a destabilizing factor for the empire," the Old Man's voice rang out.

Su Ye looked at the Old Man: "So how does the Empire plan to deal with these people?"

"Wait," the Old Man said casually, glancing at Su Ye.

"Hmm?" Su Ye looked at the Old Man.

"A bunch of people who only know how to shout online, it's pointless to deal with them. Let's wait for their successors to emerge before we talk. In the past, this kind of thing wouldn't even be documented in official documents, but times have changed. The empire needs stability, not dissenting voices." The Old Man's voice was laced with Iron Blood.

Peace times need different voices and perspectives, but we are not in Peace era now.

The empire itself cannot see its future clearly; with each step, will it lead to a precipice or a smooth road?

The empire itself was also unsure.

However, one thing needs to be made clear: the empire does not need dissenting voices now; it needs to focus all its efforts in one direction.

The emergence of these voices caused the empire a period of trouble, not that the trouble was unsolvable.

It's possible, but difficult to handle.

The main problem is that these troublemakers are all overgrown children. You wouldn't say they're that bad, but they're definitely stupid.

They're the kind of people who think the grass is always greener on the other side, completely unaware of what's actually happening.

There are many people like that.

Fortunately, although there were many such people, they were still few in number compared to the size of the empire.

The main problem is that they're disgusting; some of these people are just too disgusting, and that's the key point.

"The empire is waiting, waiting for the final purge, but many people still haven't grasped the situation," the Old Man said softly.

Su Ye said with a hint of helplessness, "I really don't understand what these people are thinking. Why are they still causing trouble at a time like this? Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

"It's a habit," the Old Man said casually.

"The law does not punish the masses; this is not the first time such a thing has happened. It's just that the empire has taken a very limited approach to dealing with it, considering the impact, which has led them to believe that the empire will continue to do so."

"The Empire has dealt with this several times already, and they still can't see it?" Su Ye couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

The empire has already taken action several times, but these people seem to be the same as before, unchanged.

"You don't understand something. People in different positions see things differently. They feel that they are also part of the empire and are doing this for the good of the empire. This is an internal dispute within the empire's power structure. Do you understand?" the Old Man said softly.

Su Ye looked at the Old Man with a lost expression, thinking, "They think this is an internal dispute within the empire, not due to external reasons."

"So, there's no reason for those who have returned from the past to attack them; they're just competing with others of the same level, right?"

"It's just what you think. Don't think they're stupid. They know very well what they should and shouldn't do. In their view, what they're fighting for is what people at the same level are fighting for, and it has nothing to do with anything else. That's why they do it this way." The Old Man nodded and said.

"But didn't they consider the consequences of their actions?" Su Ye asked, somewhat puzzled.

Internal strife within the empire—yes, internal strife within the empire has begun.

Just like in the Previous Epoch, the empire was too powerful, which led to internal strife, and the current empire is no different.

Sitting upright in the Main World, no foreign race ever considered being hostile to the Empire, not even those races that were at odds with the Empire.

And so the internal strife began.

This is unavoidable, and there's nothing wrong with talking about it; it's just human nature.

At first, Su Ye thought it was just some reckless fools causing trouble, but now that the Old Man has explained, Su Ye understands.

The struggle within the empire has begun.

The clash of rights has already begun.

"What will it bring? Do you think they're wrong? The benefits gained by those foreign alliances are not good, which proves that this path is not wrong, at least not now. You say this path is wrong?" The Old Man smiled and looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye remained silent for a while.

Indeed, from the current perspective, whether it's forming an alliance or something else, it's at least the right thing to do for now.

Most importantly, they all acted with the intention of benefiting the empire. You're saying they're wrong?

But as things stand, they're not wrong, at least not now. How do you know what will happen later?

"Isn't it a bit too early to start something like this now?" Su Ye sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

The Old Man shook his head and looked at Su Ye: "If we don't start now, when will we? You think too highly of people, but of course you can't think too badly of them either. It's hard to define good people and bad people, especially in these kinds of matters. All we can do is ignore everything. That's what we should do."

Su Ye looked at the Old Man and then nodded.

"Some things aren't as simple as they seem on the surface. Just be aware of these documents. By the way, someone should be looking for you soon. Like I said before, accept whatever they send, but don't know anything about anything else, understand?" The Old Man looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye clicked his tongue and nodded. "Old Man, you seem to know a lot about these things."

The Old Man shook his head. "Our lineage is loyal to the empire and to this nation, but not to anyone else, understand?"

"Understood!" Su Ye nodded.

"Don't get involved in these matters. If you do, things will change. Our lineage doesn't need to take sides," the Old Man said calmly.
