In the Blade

Dayu was indeed destroyed, but it was also never truly destroyed.

"The great ancestor of Dachen knew very well that he could not completely eliminate the Chu people who were of the same origin as him by his own words, so he finally used scholars. After all, it was these scholars who destroyed the former Chu, and they had enough means to target the Chu people."

In the empty court that seemed to be set up for giants, Prime Minister Jia Wen was leading the young emperor and walking slowly forward.

"So, did your majesty understand?"

"The prime minister is right."

The young emperor nodded instinctively with confused eyes. Just looking at his confused face, it was clear that he didn't hear a word.

But Jia Wen didn't care much about this.

Rather than teaching these past histories to the emperor, it would be better to say that he read them to himself.

Facing the Taizu of the Great Chen Dynasty, who was more than two meters tall and looked like a giant god descending from the earth, even those scholars who were well versed in human nature in the past were helpless. After all, no matter how good they were at bewitching people, the other side had to be a talent first. Fortunately, many Yu people in those days also thought clearly that if they couldn't beat them, they would just join them. It was just a temporary feign of compliance. Anyway, they did the same when the old Chu was overwhelming the four directions.

And now, it's finally time to reap the rewards.

After cleaning up the last important official loyal to the royal family, they can finally show their strength.

"So, your majesty."

Jia Wen turned his head and looked at the young emperor beside him.

"Have you heard of abdication?"

"... Abdication?"

The young emperor was still confused.

"Prime Minister, please tell me."

"Abdication means that the emperor abdicates his position and gives the throne of the world to a capable person."

As he said this, Jia Wen bowed to the young emperor.

"Now that war is raging and the people are complaining, it is a manifestation of the emperor's lack of virtue, which shows that your majesty has not done a good job as an emperor. So, your majesty, it is time to abdicate the throne."

"This..."

The young emperor was stunned.

"But didn't the prime minister say before that the throne is the royal family's own business, how can it be..."

"Yes, it is the royal family's own business."

As he spoke, Jia Wen bowed to the huge throne in the hall.

"But that was the matter of Emperor Taizu Gao, not your later business... Your majesty, think about it, Emperor Taizu Gao is two feet tall, such a huge body, how could it be possible to combine with a mortal?"

"This..."

The young emperor became more and more confused.

"It seems to be the case?"

"That's natural."

Prime Minister Jia Wen nodded.

He only vaguely realized this after verifying it from many sources. After all, a two-meter-tall body combined with a mortal was too shocking. However, out of respect for the respected, people generally did not dare to discuss these royal secrets. Only people like Jia Wen could find some information close to the truth from the pile of old papers.

The truth is that the current Dachen royal family actually does not have the blood of Dachen Taizu.

The real ancestor of the current Dachen royal family should be an orphan from the battlefield adopted by Dachen Taizu. After adopting the baby, Dachen Taizu gave it to the concubines in the harem and treated it as his own. However, this news was too secretive, and Dachen Taizu deliberately concealed it, so not many people knew about it.

It was just this false news that hid many descendants of the Yu Dynasty.

For more than a hundred years, these former scholars have been thinking about how to deal with such an invincible giant spirit, but who would have thought that the so-called Dachen royal family could not achieve the terrifying posture of the former Dachen Taizu.

Since it is clear that the Dachen royal family does not have the ability to transform into a giant, what are they waiting for?

"In short, although Taizu Gaohuangdi and your majesty's ancestor were not related by blood, your majesty's ancestor was a virtuous person, so the throne fell on your majesty's ancestor."

Saying this, Prime Minister Jia Wen put his hand on the young emperor's shoulder.

"And now, the people are living in poverty, and your majesty has lost his virtue. It's time to give up the throne and let the virtuous govern the world."

"Virtuous person... who?"

The young emperor raised his head.

"Who should I give the position of emperor to?"

"I am not talented, but I am willing to share your majesty's worries."

Prime Minister Jia Wen bowed.

"If your majesty grants your permission, I am willing to manage the world on your behalf. As for your majesty, you can do whatever you want, whether it is painting, carpentry, or the art of Xuanpin... Doesn't your majesty like those mysterious things the most? You don't have to go to court anymore, so your majesty will have time to pursue those things."

"No need to go to court anymore?"

The young emperor immediately became excited.

"This is good! I want this! Prime Minister, when will the abdication begin?"

"Just find a day."

Prime Minister Jia Wen still looked casual.

After all, this kind of thing is really unimportant.

He had already won over all the civil and military officials in the court, and the few remaining loyal ministers had been cleared out by him. He had been planning for so long, and in this world of Dachen, he had long been second to none and above ten thousand people.

And this last person had already become his puppet imperceptibly.

It doesn’t really matter whether the young emperor should abdicate or not, but for safety reasons, it’s better to get rid of the Chen Dynasty royal family - after all, the Chen Dynasty royal family is not the bloodline of the Great Chen Taizu, and it can only be regarded as a guess. Instead of waiting for some new giant spirit to emerge, it is better to let this naturally powerful force be completely cut off.

This world is ruled by people after all, and the human world does not need any gods to come to the world.

And now, he is finally going to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Yu people. He will get rid of the last one in front of him, who is suspected to be a remnant of the Chu people, the so-called Great Chen Emperor.

Of course, in order to ensure the orderly inheritance of the throne, he will not kill him personally. As he said, he is a virtuous person who can ascend to the throne - it’s a pity that the former majesty has no talent and no virtue, so he has no children for life, but it is under the care of this virtuous man that he can enjoy his old age.

Everything will develop in the established direction. After all, he has been secretly preparing for so long.

As for the so-called righteous army among the people... In Jia Wen's view, this is the most insignificant thing.

They are just a group of people who have just achieved the release of evil spirits. Can they still match the old Chu generals?

"Calculating the time, they should have set off, right?"

Jia Wen's sight passed through the hall, as if he saw the beacon fires all over the territory of Dachen.

However, in front of the scholars who inherited the old Dayu, all this is not worth mentioning.

The first update is delivered, and the work and rest seems to be normal. I will quickly write the second update to consolidate it.
