Chapter 12 The Emperor's Means
Hypocrites have one of their biggest problems: pretending.
Set yourself up as a gentleman, and pretend to be a gentleman for many years. Over time, no matter whether they believe it or not, everyone around them will believe it.
So once they collapsed, the people around them couldn't accept it.
Typical representative: Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun spent 95% of his life being a gentleman, but 5% of the time being a hypocrite, he became a big villain~boss, betraying relatives.
From Yue Guan's point of view, it was all done by himself.
You pretend to be a hypocrite yourself, at least you should reveal it to the people around you a little~ ah.
I hid everything in my heart, but suddenly changed, and no one could accept it.
As long as Yue Buqun teaches Linghu Chong the Black School, so that Linghu Chong has one-tenth of his IQ, he will not be so stupid as to betray his master and the Demon Cult.
Zhu Wushi can be called an upgraded version of Yue Buqun. He is almost the same in terms of hypocrites, similar in intelligence, and perfect in martial arts, not to mention power.
But Zhu Wushi is a sentimental person, and his love for Su Xin is simply touching, not to mention being willing to be a panxia. The married woman also brought a child.
From the beginning to the end, Zhu ignored not even a single concubine.
This is not what is true love?
In addition to Su Xin, Zhu ignored another person who devoted his true feelings to Duan Tianya, the No. 1 secret agent of Tianzi.
Because of his infatuation with Su Xin, Zhu Wushi never met other women, so he didn't even have a child.
Duan Tianya is the person Zhu has neglected for the longest time, and Zhu Wushang basically raised Duan Tianya as a child, just like Yue Buqun's feelings for Linghu Chong.
But this kind of affection is limited, and it cannot be compared with Zhu Wushi's love for Su Xin.
So when Duan Tianya was suspected of desecrating the emperor's woman, Zhu ignored the decisiveness and killed the relatives, and handed Duan Tianya to Dongchang.
Although this is also because Zhu Wushi is sure that he can help Duan Tianya prove his innocence, but in the final analysis, his archway is too thick, so thick that he would rather disappoint his own people than do things that go against his own personality.
But Zhu ignored the need for character design, and the little emperor didn't need it.
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 meet Duan Tianya in person.
Although Cao Zhengchun felt unbelievable, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's will, and soon arranged for Yueguan and Duan Tianya to meet.
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 Lixiu of the Izumo Kingdom is actually a man. He came to Daming this time not to marry me, but to assassinate me. The Queen Mother was also taken away by the people of the Izumo Kingdom.
Yue Guan said these words calmly.
Duan Tianya was dumbfounded.
Now he only knows that the envoys of the Izumo Kingdom are tricky, but he hasn't found out what Yueguan said.
Why is the emperor so powerful?
Yue Guan: Nonsense, brother read the script.
Although the plot doesn't make sense, who made it a setting?
Fortunately, brother can change the settings.
Duan Tianya, are you surprised why I know everything? Yue Guan asked proactively.
Duan Tianya nodded blankly.
Yue Guan didn't answer Duan Tianya's words, but asked him another question: In your heart, what kind of image is I?
Duan Tianya didn't dare to answer.
Although I say, I forgive you for your innocence.
Duan Tianya looked at Yueguan, gritted his teeth, and expressed his true thoughts: Your Majesty is confused, Cao Zhengchun deceived you, the world has suffered for Cao Zhengchun for a long time.
Yue Guan smiled: This is also what most people in the world think.
Since Your Majesty knows, why bother to 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 by now.
Duan Tianya could not refute.
Duan Tianya, I'm asking you, if I don't use Cao Zhengchun, who else in the court can fight against the Iron Lord?
The adoptive father is loyal and righteous, why does your majesty guard against the adoptive father? Duan Tianya complained for his adoptive father.
A mocking smile curled up at the corner of Yue Guan's mouth, and he said lightly: If the Marquis of the Gods is really loyal, why did you get me into this situation? Duan Tianya, let me ask you, is your impression of me true? Are you disappointed in me after passing me, or are you disappointed in me after hearing too many things from the Marquis of God?
Duan Tianya couldn't answer.
Yue Guan continued to output: Duan Tianya, you are not a simple martial artist, you have read history books. Let me ask you again, in all dynasties, is there such an uncle who combines power and prestige like Tiedan Shenhou?
Duan Tianya began to sweat coldly on his forehead.
Yue Guan's voice became colder and colder: I have grown up. If the Marquis of the Gods is really loyal and patriotic, he should let go of the power in his hands. But now, the ministers are strong and the emperor is weak, and the ministers with power are still the royal family. Duan Tianya, tell me, the Marquis of the Gods Are you forcing me to kill him?
Duan Tianya directly knelt on the ground: Your Majesty, please rest assured, I can assure you that the adoptive father never thought of treason.
Really? Yue Guan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Duan Tianya is not a fool.
It's just that Zhu ignored the grace of saving his life and teaching him a career, so he could only become a fool.
Yue Guan didn't mind making his words clearer: Duan Tianya, do you think that the main problem of Ming Dynasty is Cao Zhengchun's problem?
yes.
Did the Marquis Shen tell you that his greatest wish in this life is to eradicate the eunuchs and bring about a bright future?
yes.
Then I will make a promise to you. As long as you can persuade the Marquis to let go of the power in your hands, 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 go down! Imperial decree, you are not joking.
Yueguan's attitude is very serious.
Duan Tianya's face was pale.
He hesitated to respond.
Yue Guan didn't let him go, and said calmly: What? Don't you have confidence in your adoptive father?
Duan Tianya gritted his teeth: I have confidence in my adoptive father.
Then I will give you this chance. If I really misunderstood Shenhou, I would like to apologize to him and the people of the world. But if Shenhou is in love with power, what should you do?
Duan Tianya kowtowed: I am willing to let His Majesty handle it.
I won't dispose of you. If the Marquis of God really loves power and position, I only hope that you can be like the Marquis of God, loyal to the emperor, patriotic, protecting the country and the people, and become a sharp sword in my hand. .
Duan Tianya's body trembled, but he gritted his teeth and agreed: Minister, obey the order.
[You have shown the means that an emperor should have. 】
[Emperor Qi +1. 】
Yue Guan looked at Duan Tianya who was kneeling on the ground and the two lines of small characters in front of him, and smiled silently, leaving Duan Tianya with a stalwart back.
