Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 291 Who goes to a meeting without bringing a nuclear bomb?!

Throughout history, inviting people to meetings has been the most simple yet effective and ingenious strategy!

For example, Julius Caesar of Rome, this once-glorious consul, couldn't get along with the senators, and was riddled with holes by dozens of Roman senators in the Senate. No matter how much power and prestige he had before, he couldn't withstand dozens of people stabbing him in the back during a meeting...

For example, He Jin, the Grand General of the Eastern Han Dynasty; Erzhu Rong, the Grand General of the Northern Wei Dynasty; and Ao Bai, the regent minister of the Qing Dynasty—all three were tricked into the palace alone under various pretexts, and then met a tragic end…

And now, this same thing is happening to you: with the emperor, your biggest backer, now fallen from grace, Jin Wuzhu and his ilk, who forged an imperial edict to escape from prison, see you as a thorn in their side. They can't wait to take you down immediately, settle old scores, and thoroughly eliminate you!

Therefore, under normal circumstances, you really only have two paths.

One is classic, irrefutable evidence; the other is classic, defection and fall from a horse...

[Choosing the former means certain death, because you've severely offended Jin Wuzhu and his faction during the Hundred Days' Reform! From wearing a copper-tipped belt to being imprisoned... If you fall into their hands, being stabbed into a Caesar-brand showerhead on the spot would be the least of your worries; if things get serious, the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty might have to be introduced prematurely!]

[The Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty: the perseverance of two generations of Jurchens! So moving, it brings tears to my eyes...]

[But if you choose the latter, it's unlikely, because whether you go to Mongolia or the Southern Song, you will inevitably be caught by the Wanyan clan... You won't even be able to escape Zhongdu!]

Therefore, you are faced with two dead ends...

This scene seemed strangely familiar to the Prime Minister, so he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "So? Which one do you choose?"

"I chose to attend the conference back then, and ended up dying at someone's hands. If you're interested in reminiscing about the bitter past, then I recommend you choose the same way I died..."

【you:……】

You rolled your eyes, then said helplessly, "Does it really have to be suicide? Is there no other way to survive?"

The Prime Minister shrugged: "Who told you to be so careless when choosing your allies? You actually chose the Emperor as the backer for your reforms... Aren't you just courting death?"

"No matter how enlightened the emperor is, he is still the emperor! No matter how good your relationship with the emperor is, he won't exterminate his entire family and hand over the empire to an outsider like you."

"We'll drink from the golden cup together, but the blade will show no mercy! Did your brother Wanyan really not know that you would be attacked and punished by the royal family because of this? I think he must have seriously considered this question before he lost his mind, but his answer was not to protect you, but to protect his own nine generations of relatives..."

"In a sense, when you pinned your hopes for reform on the emperor, this day was already destined to come... You made a terrible choice as a teammate."

[You are silent. 】

Seeing your downcast expression, the Prime Minister comforted you, saying, "However, this doesn't mean you have to break off your friendship with him!"

"Because although you failed because of His imperial nature, He wasn't actually bound to the emperor... at least before He became emperor, He was always your most capable teammate... understand?"

As you listened to your father's explanation, a light gradually returned to your lifeless eyes: you understood his words!

The reason your reforms failed was that you treated the emperor as an ally and a patron, and the emperor's reactionary nature meant he would never overthrow you... So, wouldn't it perfectly solve the problem if you just prevented Wanyan from becoming emperor?

[As long as he doesn't become emperor, he won't consider the Jin dynasty as his own property, nor will he regard Jin Wuzhu and other members of the imperial family as his own. This gives him the ideological basis to join you in the revolution: What happens to the Jin dynasty? What does it have to do with me! I'm not the emperor of the Jin, why should I worry about Wuzhu and his ilk?]

At that time, as long as you explain to him the irreconcilable conflict between the Wanyan clan's ministers and the common people, and mentally separate him from the Wanyan family, making him betray his distant relatives, then he will still be the trustworthy Wanyan brother! Not the feudal reactionary leader sitting on the golden toilet!

[The Emperor can't tell if he's human or god, so let you help him figure it out...] [Thinking of this, you feel a sense of relief: After the game restarts, you must do everything in your power to stop Wanyan from becoming emperor!]

As long as you don't become emperor, you'll eventually find a way to go...

As for the current predicament...

You took a deep breath and said to the Prime Minister in a solemn voice, "Whether it's irrefutable evidence or a fall from a horse during defection, I refuse to choose either!"

"Since Jin Wuzhu has summoned me to the palace for a meeting, then I will indeed go and meet with him! As for not bringing any armor or soldiers..."

"Father, I beg you!"

Your earnest bow to the Prime Minister speaks volumes!

The Prime Minister, with a satisfied expression that suggested his son was teachable, said: "You won't let me bring armor and soldiers? Then I won't."

But you can bring other things, right?

What respectable person goes to a meeting without bringing an atomic bomb?!

Let's go!

The Prime Minister chuckled softly, then stood up from under the old, crooked-necked tree and slowly walked towards you... until your figures overlapped!

[The next moment, a stream of violent divine power was born from nothingness. Although not as strong as when you faced Zhao Gou in your previous life, it was enough to elevate you to an existence beyond mortals!]

Then, the scene of Western Paradise faintly appeared amidst the golden light surrounding you... Not much, just a Western Paradise illusion the size of a village descended upon you!

[This pitiful amount is naturally far inferior to what you had in your previous life. The reason for this is that in this life, you do not have the divine power of lust to strengthen your primordial spirit, and can only obtain your descent to the Western Paradise by burning your primordial spirit...]

Therefore, not only is your feat in the Western Paradise far less extensive than in your previous life, but the duration is also much shorter. If you could last for an hour or two in your previous life, you can only manage less than ten minutes now!

Even though you are so weak, when these two divine powers are combined on you, you still gain the combat strength to single-handedly break through enemy lines!

"Not much, but enough!"

You let out a long laugh, and then your violent divine power condensed into a long sword. In a flash, you leaped towards the palace, your speed as swift as a martial arts master from a legendary tale...

【…】

In the 218th year of the Shaoxing reign of the Song Dynasty, the Song Emperor Zhou Jinu of the Jin Dynasty launched a campaign against the Wanyan clan, single-handedly storming the imperial palace!

[Even though you're just a nobody, you don't want to be confronted with overwhelming evidence, so you choose to bring an atomic bomb to the meeting!]

A desperate battle is about to unfold...
