"No! It's not like that! It's not like that! "
Xiao Ruxun clutched his chest and looked around fiercely.
"It's not like that? If you don't want to be the emperor, why do you need Blackwater and Blackpoison? Do you think a general needs these intelligence agencies? Spying on his subordinates to see if they would betray him. Using this kind of method to deal with his subordinates, was this something that a general loyal to the Great Ming Dynasty would do?
Otherwise, why did you ask Blackwater and Blackpoison to prepare black cloth and black dye? Can you use so many of them? Why did you ask Zhou Yao to contact officials to cooperate with the generals? What's your purpose? You don't dare to admit what you have done? This is really funny! You acted so well that you believe it yourself? "
Xiao Ruxun was very annoyed. He could hear the voice but couldn't see the figure. This was really annoying.
"Come out! You come out! Come out! "
Xiao Ruxun angrily brandished her saber and slashed around wildly.
"Don't waste your energy. I told you, you won't be able to find me. Save your energy and go out to put on that yellow robe. Continue acting. There are still many more scenes to be played. You act to Yuan Huang, you act to Ye Mengxiong, you act to Chen Longzheng, you act to Zhao Hu, you act to Qi Dayong, you act to Jiang Dahai, you act to everyone.
To be honest, you are not tired, but I am. If you don't want to be the emperor, why are you acting? Who are you showing it to? Who are you showing your loyalty to? How laughable, how laughable, to be able to act so deeply, to the point where you even believe that you are a loyal and righteous official, you are really the first! "
"I am not acting! I am Daming's loyal official! I am Daming's general! "
Xiao Ruxun roared loudly.
"Will Daming's general send people to spread the rumor that Zhu Yijun is dead?"
Xiao Ruxun's eyes widened.
Then he breathed rapidly.
"How do you know? Who are you? "
He roared.
But the voice did not seem to intend to answer.
"The Zhu Yijun who had absolute trust in you, the Zhu Yijun who had high hopes for you, the Zhu Yijun who had wholeheartedly hoped that you would return to the capital to rescue him, and yet you say that he's dead? Your loyalty really makes me sigh with admiration!
If you want to be the Emperor, then be the Emperor. The things that you can do, the things that you can think of, and the means that you can use to get the country out of its predicament, even ten Zhu Yijun's can't do it. Daming, if you don't give him a major operation, can he survive?
Think about it: the Little Glacier, Nurhaci, the Great Voyage, the landlords — if you release Zhu Yijun, you'll be executed before you can even solve a single one of these problems. Everything you're doing right now will be executed. Other than becoming the Emperor, do you have any other way out?
You've always been forcing yourself onto a dead end. Whether you're willing or not, aren't you always forcing yourself onto a dead end? It's not just you. You're also forcing everyone else onto a dead end. Those generals, those civil officials who followed you, those officials in charge of the land reform — none of them have a path of retreat.
If you don't become the Emperor, they'll all die. Isn't this what you've been waiting for? Isn't this what you've always wanted? From the moment you began to think about becoming the Emperor, from the moment you fled the capital, haven't you been looking forward to this day?
You've been looking forward to it when you're eating, you've been looking forward to it when you're sleeping. How long have you been looking forward to that yellow robe? Now that it's here, the yellow robe is here, why haven't you put it on? The highest level of acting is not to believe it yourself, but to act so that everyone in the world believes it, but you don't believe it yourself. This is called acting. What about you? You believe it yourself? Are you kidding me? What Daming General? Xiao Ruxun, don't forget, you're not from the Ming Dynasty! "
Xiao Ruxun held his breath.
"I … I'm not from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Nonsense, of course you're not from the Ming Dynasty. You're from the future. Is there a need for you to be a loyal official? What Daming Plot? Haven't you been thinking about changing all this since the beginning? Be the Emperor. Only by becoming the Emperor can you change all this.
Create your own era, create your own country, don't let this country walk into a quagmire and be unable to extricate itself, don't let barbarians conquer civilization, don't let future generations hate, regret, and be helpless. Compared to this, is Daming important?
You've learned to treat everyone as chess pieces. You're already ruthless enough to kill people you don't want to kill. You're already ruthless enough. You have the necessary means, the necessary organization, the necessary awareness, the necessary strength, and the necessary acting skills. What are you waiting for? "
Xiao Ruxun's hand loosened, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"Alright, stop acting. You're not acting properly at all. Go out and put on that robe and become the Emperor! Hurry up, those people waiting to act for you outside are getting anxious. They're already working so hard for the supporting roles, and you, the main character, still dare to dawdle here? "
Xiao Ruxun covered her face with her hands and sat down on the military bed.
"I have one last question."
"Speak."
"Who are you?"
"Open your 24K krypton ore dog eyes and look carefully. Is there anyone else around you?"
Xiao Ruxun moved his palm away and looked around.
Yes.
That's right.
From the beginning to the end, there was only Xiao Ruxun here.
There was no one else.
Xiao Ruxun knew.
I know.
I wanted to be the Emperor. I was the one who wanted to be the Emperor. I was the one who made them have no way out. I was the one who made them have no choice but to support me as the Emperor. I was the one who was acting and deceiving everyone. I even prepared the name of the new country, and I even prepared to change my family.
Seriously, he was acting so well that even he believed it.
If this continued, I'd become schizophrenic.
What's there to admit? I even believed it in the name of loyalty. I personally pushed the situation to this point, why am I panicking now?
I can't cultivate properly, I can't cultivate properly!
I'm not shameless enough. I'm not thick-skinned enough. I'm not ruthless enough. I'm not decisive enough.
Acting is for others to see, not for myself. Any great Emperor is the number one Best Actor in the world. If I can't even be the Best Actor, how can I be the Emperor?
Xiao Ruxun, grow up!
You're the one who wants to be the Emperor. How can you not even be the Best Actor?
Don't you love power? Don't you love the feeling of having the power to decide life and death in your hands?
For the sake of the power you cherish, you can't even be the Best Actor?
Xiao Ruxun heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he smiled and lay down on the camp bed. He looked at the roof of the tent and heaved a sigh of relief.
Then he sat up and stood up easily. He bent down to pick up the knife and put it back into the scabbard.
He patted his face.
He felt as if he had let go of something and gained something.
This strange feeling. Yes, it's not bad.
At this moment, Xiao Ruxun heard voices coming from outside the tent.
Voices begging for mercy and voices begging him to be the Emperor.
How should he deal with the current situation?
Yes, he had the answer.
