In the Blade

In the palace of Jiankang, Jia Wen, who was supposed to be the prime minister, had already put on the imperial robe.

He still stood in front of the officials, but there was no one in front of him. After handing the imperial seal, which symbolized the imperial power, to him, the young emperor had already retreated behind him, just like the civil and military officials.

No one could stop him from walking up to the huge throne.

Decades of hard work finally paid off at this moment.

Jia Wen stepped onto the steps.

There were originally no steps in front of the throne. After all, when the throne was first established, it was not for mortals. It was a pity that no one in the royal family of the later Chen Dynasty could have a huge body like the former Taizu of the Great Chen Dynasty. Therefore, in order to facilitate the emperors to ascend the throne, the craftsmen of the royal family installed steps in front of the throne.

The closer Jia Wen got to the huge seat, the more he could feel the difference between humans and non-humans.

"But, this is the world of humans after all."

Taking a deep breath, Jia Wen sat on the cold seat and glanced at the civil and military officials below.

This is the difference between humans and non-humans. Indeed, just like those monsters tortured into madness by evil spirits, choosing to embark on that inhuman path can indeed gain extremely powerful power, but some things can only be done by humans after all - such as making and using tools, which is something only humans can do.

When a person's will is extremely firm, even dangerous evil spirits can become a tool for people.

However, as a descendant of the Yu people and a scholar, it is far deeper than this.

As a person above people, you should learn to use people as tools.

This is why the former Dayu was able to defeat the old Chu. Perhaps in the historical records of Dayu, it was a glorious war, a just war, but as a descendant of the Yu people, Jia Wen knew that it was actually a necessity - a group of people who used evil spirits as tools, facing a group of people who used people as tools, how could they win?

After all, those who use evil spirits as tools, they themselves can only be regarded as another kind of tool.

"To become a person who uses tools."

After seeing this record, Jia Wen, who was still young at the time, set this ambition.

Now, he has finally succeeded.

After being a tool for the royal family of Dachen for so many years, he finally turned over and became a man above others. The goal of the former Dayu was finally achieved in his hands, and he finally held the world in his hands.

Of course, the world of Dachen now seems to be not very peaceful, but this doesn't matter to Jia Wen. He can deal with those folk rebellions with one hand, and these newly released evil spirits can't make any waves in his hands at all - the grassland people who are about to go south may be more dangerous, but it's just more dangerous.

The grassland people go south, nothing more than seeking money. As long as they let those grassland people get some of what they want, they will naturally be satisfied. At that time, whether it is division or provocation, it will be much easier to do, and even without spending any soldiers' lives, the grassland people's offensive can be disintegrated into nothingness.

Of course, this statement sounds too weak. If it were put in the court in the past, it would definitely cause an uproar.

But who made the general Wang Tong, who advocated war, dead?

Now is his era.

It is his era of Jia Wen.

"I want to negotiate with the grassland people. What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Civil and military officials bowed their heads and said in unison.

Such a scene made Jia Wen close his eyes.

Yes, that's the feeling. He took everything in the world for his own use. His will was the will of all people. Everyone was his tool. He controlled everything in his hands.

"Okay, go down."

Waving his hand, Jia Wen suddenly lost interest.

He suddenly wanted to be quiet.

Until the civil and military officials left completely, Jia Wen opened his eyes and looked at the magnificent hall in front of him.

The magnificent hall was empty, just like him at this moment.

Before he failed to achieve his wish, Jia Wen had thought several times about what he would feel like and what he would do after all this was done and when he succeeded in usurping the throne. But when he really had power and everything was really done, he could only feel an inexplicable emptiness at this moment.

And the confusion of not knowing what to do.

It's not that he hadn't thought about doing something, but those things were too easy for him now. Even when he was just the prime minister, he had already been powerful. No matter what he wanted to do, as long as he wanted, he would be able to do it. This is the embodiment of power and strength.

And now, he has even done something that is almost impossible, such as usurping the throne.

What else can he do?

Or, is there anything else worth doing seriously?

It seems that there is nothing.

The civil and military officials in the court could not resist him, let alone pretend to obey him, just because he himself is the most cunning one. Foreign enemies could not defeat him. Those barbarians who were still at the tool level could not defeat a man who was superior to others.

At this moment, he already had everything he had ever thought of.

"It's lonely at the top..."

Jia Wen grabbed the jade seal and threw it into the air.

This ultimate embodiment of power, in his hands, was like a child's toy.

"Yeah, why is there no heating here?"

He caught the jade seal with his other hand and continued to throw it into the air.

This made Jia Wen stunned.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the burly figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, Jia Wen's brows instantly frowned.

Such a sturdy figure... If it was someone in the palace, he would not be able to forget it.

But why did he have no impression of the person in front of him?

"It doesn't matter who I am."

The burly man, who was nearly seven feet tall, threw the jade seal back on the table, then lowered his head and looked at Jia Wen in a dragon robe.

"Look at your clothes, you are the emperor, right? Then you must be very good at fighting?"

"What..."

Feeling the fierce momentum so close, Jia Wen, no matter how distracted he was, had already sensed the breath of danger at this moment.

"Come here! Come here! Where are the people! Where are the guards! Protect the emperor! Come and protect the emperor! Come quickly..."

"No need to shout."

The burly man scratched his head.

"When I came here, I had already dealt with all your men... They are too bad, none of them have seen blood, and the total number of people they have killed may not even exceed a thousand."

"...???"

Jia Wen's hair stood on end instantly.

What do you mean the total number of people he has killed is not even a thousand?

"So, since you are the emperor, you must be better at fighting than them, right?"

As he said this, the big hand like a palm leaf fan had already slapped Jia Wen's head.
