This Emperor is Only An Actor

Chapter 12: Imperial means

Views:

Hypocrites have one biggest problem: pretending.

Give yourself the persona of a gentleman and keep pretending for years. Over time, no matter whether they believe it or not, the people around them will believe it.

So once they lose their personality, people around them will not be able to accept it.

Typical representative: Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun spent 95% of his life being a gentleman, but spent 5% of his time being a hypocrite and became the villain boss, betraying everyone.

In Yue Guan's view, this was all his own doing.

You pretend to be a hypocrite yourself, at least reveal a little bit to the people around you.

He keeps everything in his heart, but suddenly he undergoes a transformation that no one can accept.

As long as Yue Buqun taught Linghu Chong Houheixue, so that Linghu Chong had one-tenth of his IQ, he would not be stupid enough to betray his master and become brothers in the demon sect.

Zhu Wuwu can be called an upgraded version of Yue Buqun. He is almost the same in terms of hypocrisy and intelligence. In terms of martial arts, he surpasses Yue Buqun, not to mention his power.

But Zhu Wuwu is a lover, and his love for Su Xin is simply touching. Not only is he willing to be the successor, but under the circumstances of ancient times, he would rather risk the disapproval of the world and marry a second-married girl with the dignity of a god-lord. This second-married girl The woman also brought a child.

From beginning to end, Zhu Wuwu never took a concubine.

What is this if not true love

In addition to Su Xin, the other person Zhu ignored who was deeply invested in his true feelings was Duan Tianya, Tianzi's number one secret agent.

Because of his infatuated love for Su Xin, Zhu Wuwu never touched other women, so he didn't even have a child.

Duan Tianya was the person who had been with Zhu Wuli for the longest time. Zhu Wuli basically raised Duan Tianya as his child, which was similar to Yue Buqun's feelings for Linghu Chong.

But this kind of emotion has its limits and cannot be compared with the love between men and women that Zhu Wuwu has for Su Xin.

So when Duan Tianya was suspected of blaspheming the emperor's woman, Zhu Wuli decisively killed the family and handed Duan Tianya to Dongchang.

Although this is also because Zhu Wuwu is confident that he can help Duan Tianya prove his innocence, in the final analysis, his memorial arch is too thick, so thick that he would rather disappoint his own people than dare to do anything that goes against his own personality.

But Zhu Wuli needs a character, and the little emperor does not.

When Cao Zhengchun came to ask Yue Guan how to deal with Duan Tianya, Yue Guan directly asked Cao Zhengchun to take him to Dongchang.

He wanted to see Duan Tianya in person.

Although Cao Zhengchun felt incredible, he did not dare to go against the emperor's wishes, and quickly arranged a meeting between Yue Guan and Duan Tianya.

After seeing Yueguan, Duan Tianya was very excited: "Your Majesty, I was wronged. Princess Lixiu of Izumo Kingdom is weird."

Yue Guan smiled: "I know."

Duan Tianya: "???"

you know

"Princess Toshihide of the Izumo Kingdom is actually a man. He came to the Ming Dynasty this time not to marry me, but to assassinate me. The Queen Mother was also captured by people from the Izumo Kingdom."

Yue Guan said these words calmly.

Duan Tianya was stunned.

Now he only knows that there is something fishy about the envoy of Izumo Kingdom, but he has not found out what Yue Guan said.

Why is the emperor so powerful

Yue Guan: Nonsense, I have read the script.

Although the plot makes no sense, who told it to be a setting

Fortunately, I can change the settings.

"Duan Tianya, are you surprised why I know everything?" Yue Guan asked proactively.

Duan Tianya nodded blankly.

Yue Guan did not answer Duan Tianya's words, but asked him another question: "What kind of image do I have in your heart?"

Duan Tianya didn't dare to answer.

"Just say it, I forgive you."

Duan Tianya looked at Yue Guan, gritted his teeth, and expressed his true thoughts: "Your Majesty is confused and has been deceived by Cao Zhengchun. The world has suffered from Cao Zhengchun for a long time."

Yue Guan smiled: "This is probably what most people in the world think."

"Since Your Majesty knows, why do you still indulge Cao Zhengchun?" Duan Tianya was puzzled.

Yue Guan looked at the upright Duan Tianya and shook his head: "If I were really confused, you would be a dead person now."

Duan Tianya couldn't refute.

"Duan Tianya, let me ask you, if I don't use Cao Zhengchun, who else in the court can stand up to Tietan Shenhou?"

"My adopted father is loyal and courageous. Why should Your Majesty be on guard against my adopted father?" Duan Tianya complained for his adopted father.

A sarcastic smile appeared on Yue Guan's lips, and he said lightly: "If the Lord God is really loyal and courageous, why do you have to get me into this situation? Duan Tianya, I ask you, is your impression of me true? Are you disappointed in me after you passed away, or are you disappointed in me because you heard too many things from Lord Shen?"

Duan Tianya couldn't answer.

Yue Guan continued to output: "Duan Tianya, you are not a simple martial artist, you have read history books. I ask you again, in all dynasties, has there ever been an emperor's uncle who combined power and prestige like the Tidan Shenhou?"

Duan Tianya began to sweat on his forehead.

Yue Guan's voice became colder and colder: "I have grown up. If the Lord Shen is really loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he should put down the power in his hands. But now, the ministers are strong and the emperor is weak, and the powerful ministers are still members of the royal family. Duan Tianya, tell me, the Lord Shen is like this Are your actions forcing me to kill him?"

Duan Tianya knelt directly on the ground: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I can guarantee that my adoptive father has never thought of treason."

"Really?" Yue Guan twitched his lips.

Duan Tianya is not a fool.

It's just that Zhu Wuli has the grace to save his life and teach him, so he can only become a fool.

Yue Guan didn't mind speaking more clearly: "Duan Tianya, do you think that the most important problem in the Ming Dynasty is Cao Zhengchun's problem?"

"yes."

"Has Shenhou told you that his greatest wish in this life is to eradicate the eunuchs and restore a bright future to the Ming Dynasty?"

"yes."

"Then I will give you a promise. As long as you can persuade Shenhou to put down his power, disband Hulong Villa and become an idle clan, I will immediately cut Cao Zhengchun into pieces to thank the world. How about it? I can do it. The imperial edict, you have no words for it."

Yue Guan's attitude was very serious.

Duan Tianya's face was very pale.

He hesitated to respond.

Yue Guan did not let him go and said calmly: "What? You don't have confidence in your adoptive father?"

Duan Tianya gritted his teeth: "I have confidence in my adoptive father."

"Then I will give you this opportunity. If I really misjudged the Lord Shen, I am willing to issue an edict to apologize to him and the people of the world. But if the Lord Shen is obsessed with power, what should you do?"

Duan Tianya kowtowed: "I am willing to let your majesty handle it."

"I will not deal with you. If the Marquis of God is really obsessed with power, I only hope that you can be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, protect the country and the people, as the Marquis of God hopes, and become a sharp sword in my hand." Yue Guan Tuqian saw. .

Duan Tianya's body trembled, but he gritted his teeth and agreed: "My lord, I obey the order."

[You have shown the methods that an emperor should have.]

[Emperor’s Qi +1.]

Yue Guan looked at Duan Tianya kneeling on the ground and the two lines of small characters in front of him, and smiled silently, leaving a majestic figure on Duan Tianya's back.
