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

Chapter 310 The Belt Edict

"Long live the Grand Tutor!"

"There can only be one sun in the sky, and in my heart, there is only one sun—the Grand Tutor!"

"My Great Jin is invincible!"

【“…”】

The defeat of the Southern Song army and the capture of Zhang Jun—these two events, most clearly signifying the victory of the Jin dynasty, immediately excited everyone, further enhancing your already immense prestige. Congratulations and praises for you filled the world!

After all, the Song army's military might was evident to all, and their bizarre ability to cause people to lose their minds and mutate wherever they went was something that ordinary people simply couldn't resist.

Furthermore, the Song army's tactics were extremely brutal. "Stones must be cut with knives, grass must be burned, and people must be replaced"—this was the Song army's basic operation after the "celestial upheaval"... If the Grand Tutor hadn't been there to meet them, one can imagine the horrific consequences that would have followed!

Therefore, the Grand Tutor has truly accumulated immeasurable merit!

[While you were secretly pleased by everyone's praise, you still had to maintain your humble persona on the surface... So you humbly bowed to everyone and said: I'm ashamed to say that I only made a small contribution and I really don't deserve such praise...]

"If everyone must express gratitude, then thank His Majesty!"

You spoke to everyone with unwavering loyalty, and although they didn't really like the emperor, they still reluctantly went along with your suggestion and praised him a few times: "Hmm! The Grand Tutor is just a pushover, His Majesty is the MVP..."

After offering these insincere compliments, everyone's resentment towards the emperor grew even stronger: What good is an emperor anyway!

This kind of slacker who just coasts through life is better off abdicating to the Grand Tutor sooner rather than later; then he could at least be the Duke of Shanyang...

【…】

[And you can naturally see what I mean, in fact, if everything goes smoothly, you've long wanted to dethrone that young emperor from the Wanyan clan!]

After all, you are neither a true loyal minister nor a lackey of the Wanyan clan. The reason you devote so much effort to the Jin Dynasty has absolutely nothing to do with the emperor; it stems entirely from your compassion and love for the suffering people.

[Back when you first seized power, you had already considered deposing the emperor. The subsequent decade-long vacancy of the throne also demonstrates your underlying inclination not to retain the Jin emperor...]

Unfortunately, due to the persistent military threat from the Southern Song Dynasty, you couldn't truly depose the emperor in order to protect the borders and the people.

[Especially now that relations with the Southern Song have completely soured, the Jin emperor's importance has become even more prominent: the reason you were able to defeat the Song army's Northern Expedition is because of the "authority" granted to you by the Jin emperor. Without this "authority," even if you had the Embroidered Uniform Guard at your disposal, you would still be worn down and killed by the Southern Song!]

Therefore, the more strained your relationship with the Southern Song Dynasty, the less likely the Jin emperor can be deposed...

So, when will you finally be able to depose the previous emperor like the last "Ji Nu"?

[You thought about it: It's probably best to wait until Zhao Gou's divine power is exhausted and he flees overseas... because only after the Southern Song Dynasty falls will the Jin emperor lose his value in war; otherwise, you must preserve him.]

As for when the Southern Song Dynasty will fall? You don't know either. Just wait and see. You have plenty of time...

However, although you are almost certain of victory, you still have one worry: the survival of the Ming Dynasty!

[You came to this world carrying the main body's mission. The main body sent you here, not to save the world... or rather, while you could save the world, saving the world is merely your side quest. Your main quest is to find a way to ensure the survival of the Great Ming Plane. Until you complete this main quest, no matter how well you do your side quests, it will be meaningless.]

The problem is, your progress on this main quest is still at zero percent...

How exactly can we find the method needed to locate the original entity?

[Your thoughts drifted to the Golden Emperor… Although you don’t know how to ensure the survival of your original Ming Dynasty plane, you know that the Golden Emperor possesses the information you need!] [The reason is simple: you clearly remember that in your past life, you discerned all the secrets while observing the Golden Emperor…]

Although you don't remember exactly what you gleaned at the time, you do remember finding the necessary clues... In other words, if you can truly complete the original body's mission, then it must be due to the Golden Emperor himself!

Only by observing the Golden Emperor again and memorizing the details of your observations will you have a chance to complete the main quest...

[However, you really don't know the solution to this: it's known that forcibly observing the Golden Emperor will lead to mental obliteration and amnesia, so how could you possibly solve this problem?]

"Perhaps this is related to the information transmitted from the original body."

Your father, who understands your heart, couldn't help but ask, "Do you still remember the information the original body gave you?"

"Yes... I remember."

[Of course you remember the two pieces of information given by the original body: one is that finding the Golden Emperor's name will protect you from the corruption of chaos! The other is that the Golden Emperor wants to devour Zhao Gou, because it will bring him great benefits!]

[However, both pieces of information are absurd: the Golden Emperor's name? Who would know what the Golden Emperor's name is? After all, this thing needs to change its carrier every three years, and the carrier's own name will gradually be distorted and erased as it is corroded. Over time, no one will remember it... In other words, this is simply an unsolvable problem!]

Secondly, the Jin Emperor wanted to devour Zhao Gou... This is even more absurd, because if Zhao Gou wanted to escape, there was absolutely no way anyone could catch him! His illusionary arts were so masterful that no one could use them against him...

So, where exactly are these two pieces of nonsense used?

The more you think about it, the more your head hurts...

【…】

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time."

After racking your brains without success, you finally shook your head, temporarily setting these unknown pieces of information aside and turning your attention back to reality.

So you slowly rose and walked towards the magnificent palace...

"The Grand Tutor has arrived!"

When the new emperor saw you enter the palace, he immediately greeted you with joy... This scene was not like an emperor welcoming a subject, but rather like a son seeing his father...

Seeing that He remained respectful to you, you felt relieved: it seemed He had adapted well to the role of a puppet emperor and hadn't done anything to harm you.

So, satisfied, you asked Him a few questions, such as whether He had any needs recently, and whether He was happy. If you had any needs, just say so...

The emperor shook his head repeatedly, respectfully stating that he was already incredibly fortunate to be the Grand Tutor's dog and dared not ask for more... You saw this and said nothing, only nodded, and then slowly left the palace.

After you had walked away, the emperor, who had been so respectful just moments before, suddenly turned cold and took out a newly written edict from his waist...

"A noble village head?"

"Emperor Xian of Han?"

He muttered to himself, gripping the imperial edict tightly in his hand...
