Complicated

Zhang Xuezhou knew that the Empress Dowager had considered killing him several times.

He also knew that this was the only way the Empress Dowager could strike after falling to such a state, so he had already prepared the Eye of the Ba Snake to guard against the other party using the difference between the True Self Realm and the Divine Ability Realm to suppress him.

But after their conversation, the Empress Dowager no longer exuded the threatening aura that Zhang Xuezhou had felt.

The murderous intent dissipated like smoke, and Zhang Xuezhou could even sense the Empress Dowager's kindness towards the younger generation.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's intention to die, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would have had a very good life in the court.

"The return of the legion should be a reverse return after Yan Zhu's rescue of Dong'ou."

"His Majesty was ambushed and killed by Gongsun Gui. Investigations have revealed that Gongsun Gui is highly likely connected to the Minyue Kingdom, where it is very likely that the remnants of Prince Liang's forces are gathered. That is why Yan Zhu was dispatched to provide assistance and conduct a thorough investigation!"

"I agree with the Empress Dowager that war harms the country and its people. War brings immense suffering and death. I will certainly advise His Majesty to reduce the use of force in the future!"

"Below is Shu Commandery. The Shu Commandery has dug canals to irrigate fertile fields, ensuring the people have enough to eat. The prefect vigorously promotes the establishment of schools to cultivate literate and courteous students. The people of Shu Commandery are eager to learn, and many young children can recite numbers and perform calculations in the streets!"

No longer needing to guard against the Empress Dowager's malice, Zhang Xuezhou's journey through the territory of the Great Han also included some details.

Some areas were places the Empress Dowager visited in her youth, while others were remote places she never went to in her entire life, and still others were areas that Zhang Xuezhou flew through but did not know about.

These regions encompass culture, history, power, Lineage, and schools of thought.

There are places introduced by Zhang Xuezhou, and places mentioned by the Empress Dowager.

"Nanyue, Xiyi, and Yelang are remnants of the Heavenly Court's forces, and also a constraint imposed on the Immortal Court. You must ensure that Che'er maintains a balance among these forces!"

When passing through Bashu, the Empress Dowager pointed to the northwest and southwest regions and gave extremely solemn instructions.

"The Heavenly Court is a land of demons. Both the Heavenly Emperor and Empress are demons, Non-Self of our kind, and inevitably harbor ulterior motives. They will not be loyal to our human race!"

"Although the Immortal Court is a power of both humans and immortals, it relies on the strength of its individuals to restrain the emperor. It adheres to a system of human rule rather than the rule of law. Those with good relationships can do whatever they want, while those with bad relationships are treated like cattle for life. Even the emperor is caught in this situation and finds it difficult to control himself. Such a power must never be allowed to infiltrate a dynasty that upholds the rule of law, otherwise, the consequences will be endless!"

"The three Sacred Land and six secret realms of the Northern Kuru Continent are powerful forces, lurking around the Han territory like vicious wolves. Once the Great Han Dynasty weakens, they will definitely invade and bite fiercely, uprooting the foundation of our Great Han Dynasty!"

"The people of this Xiong State are unreasonable and lawless; they are like demons. The entire nation indulges in gluttony and has no restraint in procreation. They are an unconventional demonic dynasty!"

"We must defend this Xiong State at all costs and prevent our Great Han Dynasty from being swallowed up!"

"Do not let ordinary people be blinded into learning the Demon Power wielded by the Xiong State. Once it spreads, it will inevitably lead to endless calamities!"

"Discover one, verify one, eliminate one!"

The Empress Dowager spoke in a low voice, initially describing the large forces that the Great Han Dynasty faced within its territory.

Then it mentions the many vassal states that served as the source of the fire.

Even after the Great Han Dynasty collapsed, these vassal states could still emerge as remnants of the existing power and develop again.

Later, the Empress Dowager mentioned many important officials in the court.

This was also the first time Zhang Xuezhou had learned about the complex power dynamics within the seemingly peaceful Great Han Dynasty.

This involves not only the royal family of Huang-Lao Daoism, but also the forces of Legalism, Confucian School, and the School of Names, and even the forces of the Human Emperor's dynasty.

"General Li Guang is actually a remnant of the emperor's faction? Would he also rebel against the court?"

"He is not against the court; rather, he wants the court to return to ancient practices!"

What ancient custom?

"Under one dynasty, the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor jointly rule the world. There is no distinction between royal succession; the most capable person can succeed the Human Emperor!"

"It seems... almost perfect?"

"It sounds perfect, but such a court lacks a core leader, allowing mediocre people to rise to power. Furthermore, there's infighting between the old and new factions, leading to endless internal strife. If this were a good system, it wouldn't have been overthrown!"

The Empress Dowager named them one by one, and the important officials under the control of Anle Palace were repeatedly mentioned. Even Li Guang, the strongest general of the Great Han Dynasty at present, was not left out, and he was given the label of being uncontrollable and unreliable and needing to be guarded against.

Zhang Xuezhou pondered the matter back and forth, feeling his mind in complete chaos.

Why are you telling me so much?

If he didn't step out of the framework of the Great Han Dynasty and live a real life, Zhang Xuezhou felt that if he were trapped in the Great Han Dynasty, he would be ensnared by various people and forces, and would find himself in a situation where he wanted to break free but was powerless to do so.

Even if he were utterly loyal and worked hand in hand with the new emperor, it would be difficult to break the trap set by the Empress Dowager.

Zhang Xuezhou belatedly realized that the Empress Dowager intended to bind and restrain him.

When faced with various hardships and difficulties, people's hearts will not waver, but will unite to solve the problems. Even treacherous and greedy officials will suppress their restless thoughts and contribute their efforts.

While it may seem like the Empress Dowager is recounting the various predicaments facing the Great Han Dynasty, this is actually a psychological technique for managing people.

"I am powerless to help with what you have said," Zhang Xuezhou said. "My health is seriously compromised, and I am unable to resolve the complex situation facing the Great Han Dynasty!"

"But you..."

"Don't be fooled by my Divine Ability abilities and skill in flying Technique Method; as long as my illness persists, I can't do anything!"

Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition allows him to shirk all responsibility. Neither deathbed entrustment, nor the responsibility of being a citizen of the Great Han, nor matters of honor, disgrace, rise, or fall can restrain Zhang Xuezhou.

It's not that Zhang Xuezhou was unwilling to do it, but that he couldn't.

If he gets involved in the power struggles of these complex forces and is targeted, his twelve days of world-transfer will become uncontrollably dangerous.

This is not the real world, and Zhang Xuezhou is not protected by any top-tier Alliance States forces. He also lacks the essential conditions required by the Great Han Dynasty.

Like a passionate young man, his reckless actions led to his death, leaving no trace, no stakeholders involved, and no powerful assistance.

The complexities Zhang Xuezhou faced in the Great Han Dynasty far exceeded those of the real world, making it difficult for him to solve the problems.

"If you want to chat with me, I'll just listen," Zhang Xuezhou politely declined.

"You..."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, feeling that she had exhausted her mind and breath. Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xuezhou cut her off abruptly.

She had never seen a genius like Zhang Xuezhou who had no ambition, nor had she ever seen Zhang Xuezhou in such a helpless physical condition.

Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition is not normal, so it is impossible for him to be treated like a normal person.

If we want her dying wish to be effective, then Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition must be normal.
