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

Chapter 34 He Still Wants to Be the Holy Lord...

Dashachun, what are you doing!!!
Zhou Liang was stunned. He never expected that this boy was in lovesickness again!

"No... you just had a fight with the Shaanxi officials, so why are you tempted to storm the tower again now?! Wasn't it satisfying enough to destroy the Governor before?!"

Zhou Liang simply didn't know how to comment:

We both have the same background as time travelers, but this kid and I are like two completely different people, with completely different choices in various fields.

Although he was also dissatisfied with the dark rule of the Ming court and the Divine Emperor, he only dared to carry out assassinations, and his targets were chosen very low, only killing grassroots officials, trying not to attract the hatred of the Divine Emperor boss, and putting his life first.

And this kid always likes to make big news. At the age of three, he dared to report corruption and fraud. At the age of five, he dared to destroy the governor who was in charge of a province... Now he is thirty years old, and he rushes directly to the tower, wanting to fight the God Emperor boss face to face!

What kind of crazy guy is this!!!

"Tongzi! Are you sure this guy is really modeled after me?!"

Zhou Liang asked in disbelief.

[Of course, when the simulation begins, it's actually you who just traveled from Earth. You can understand this as two different storylines caused by different life choices...]

"But I don't think he's another me... How could I possibly be like him, always wanting to fight others? He's clearly a reckless person, a lunatic!"

Zhou Liang's doubts were well-founded because he was very sure that he was not an impulsive and stubborn person, but rather a seasoned veteran who could bend and stretch.

But the system said:
[Host, you're mistaken... The reason your simulated character always makes different choices from you is simply because your initial conditions are different, your subsequent growth environments are different, and the different mindsets that result from these different growth environments.]

[Of course, your innate foundation is exactly the same, but the differences in your acquired qualities are too numerous...]

Zhou Liang paused:
Different after birth?

Zhou Liang frowned:

"You mean, the prize?"

[Not only prizes, but also other things...]

Something else?

Zhou Liang thought about it carefully, and finally seemed to realize something:
"You mean... the system itself?"

[Yes, for you, your life over the past fifty years has been free from any interference from any kind of golden finger, so you naturally value life, and on this basis, you developed your old-fashioned character.]

[But he was different. Aside from his first death, he knew he could start over and that his chances were unlimited, so he didn't attach much importance to the importance of life and death.]

Therefore, even though he usually tends to adhere to the survival values ​​of a normal person, at critical moments, he is likely to violate these values ​​and even actively seek death.

[Furthermore, his current mental state is indeed quite abnormal...]

Zhou Liang gradually realized:

To put it simply, he knows that he will not really die even if he dies, so he always has fun at critical moments and doesn't care about death.

Zhou Liang could understand this mentality.

But the system also said that this kid's mental state is indeed not normal now...

"Could it be... that he's gone insane from studying?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Liang suddenly became worried again:
Indeed, I failed the provincial examination only three times and then stopped taking it, but this kid was like a tough guy and took the exam nine times. He was a nerd for twenty-four years and he was even stupid!
And that's not all. There's also the "loyalty training" for several months after the provincial examination. It pushes him towards mental illness every day. It becomes a conditioned reflex in the end. Whenever he mentions the old crooked tree, he subconsciously shouts loyalty...

And the topic of "loyalty" in the imperial examination made him go crazy. His crazy essay was so crazy that even the Minister of Rites called him a "madman"...

This late-stage lunatic, half of his body crammed into the Warp, now has a golden opportunity to confront the God-Emperor face to face. How can he resist?!

With all these buffs stacked up, the current "Zhou Liang" can no longer be considered a normal person. Not to mention charging into the God Emperor's tower, he's not incapable of doing anything even more insane...

"Is this... considered a way to vent?"

Zhou Liang scratched his head and finally sighed:
"Forget it... Since you want to vent your psychological pressure, then vent it..."

"However, the specific content of venting still needs to be considered..."

The kid in the simulator can act like a lunatic without restraint, but Zhou Liang can't. He must always keep a clear head in order to deal with various adverse situations that may occur. Without him extending a tangible hand behind the scenes to control, the kid would have been stuck long ago!
This is just like the inverted Tiangang Ming style:
Zhou Liang only needs to come up with ideas, but the simulated protagonist needs to consider a lot... "How should I write it?"

Zhou Liang was a little troubled.

"If it's just pure swearing, it's not only low-minded, but it might also completely infuriate the Divine Emperor. It's completely unnecessary..."

"And if you're just being honest and giving direct advice, that won't do you any good. After all, some slides are absolutely untouchable..."

For example, the slide of the Divine Emperor's retaliatory massacre of the world in the past must never be touched, because the Divine Emperor might be able to tolerate other advice, but if this slide is put out, it would be equivalent to openly slapping Him in the face, and while hitting Him, saying that He was wrong and that He should not take revenge.

It would be strange if this worked!
"For Chongzhen, the verdicts of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two number one traitors, could not be overturned no matter what. Not only could their verdicts not be overturned, but also the verdicts of those who died because of their involvement could not be overturned."

"He massacred Shuntian Prefecture because Shuntian Prefecture betrayed him and surrendered to Li Zicheng."

"He massacred people in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and other places because the people there resisted taxation, which had prevented the Ming court from collecting taxes and had an extremely negative impact."

"He massacred Luoyang because his relative, Prince Fu, died in Luoyang."

"He massacred Shaanxi and Shu because these two places were the territories of Chuang Xian and his men, and were [enemy countries]..."

Although the Divine Emperor was cruel and had many innocent people killed, from his point of view, these massacres were all justified and had legitimate reasons, so he would never admit his mistakes.

Anyone who touches this slide will die!
"However, many other aspects, while risky to mention, are definitely not as unspeakable as the massacre... Is it even possible that He simply wants people to mention these things?"

Zhou Liang couldn't help but sort out the plot carefully:
"If He really wanted to fish, He could have easily dismissed the candidates during the Imperial Examination. Moreover, the candidates selected for the Imperial Examination have already proven their loyalty. Therefore, in terms of composition, the crystal powder that can enter the Palace Examination is of the highest purity. There is no need for further purification."

"Besides, this is the highest-level palace examination, and the palace examination is originally for the emperor to question the candidates. Discussing national affairs and the emperor's gains and losses here is normal in itself, so it is unlikely that he is fishing."

"Plus the previous side story..."

Zhou Liang still remembered the commotion when he simulated the protagonist reporting the thief and the Shaanxi officialdom to the Jinyiwei:
Not only did the Jinyiwei personally go to arrest people, but the Divine Emperor was also very violent. The criminal was originally handed over to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple for sentencing.

The Emperor felt the sentence was too light, so he personally issued an edict to pronounce the verdict. In the end, not only were all the rebels executed and the Governor Liu Yizhao skinned alive, but the prefects and officials were also all "skinned and stuffed with straw" and hung all over the two capitals and thirteen provinces...

What does this mean?
"This shows that he was already dissatisfied with these officials, so he seized the opportunity to punish them to death..."

Think about Chongzhen in history. Although he was a novice in methods, he actually had a good heart. He didn't want to be a tyrant who destroyed the country, but a saintly ruler who revived the country!

"So, He is most likely serious about this palace examination question!"

"He really wants someone to criticize the current situation..."

Zhou Liang's thoughts gradually became clear, and his eyes turned:
"Then write it like this!"

I'm not afraid of death anyway, so just charge and it's over!

Once inspiration came, thoughts came like a spring... Soon, an advice of several thousand words was written.

The article is written in fierce language, full of the passion of young people who want to point out the way forward and write inspiring words!

But despite the intensity, it did not touch upon the unspeakable deeds of the Divine Emperor at all. It simply exposed all the evils and darkness in the world from the perspective of a bystander.

What corruption, what lawlessness, what buying and selling of fame, what forming cliques, what alliances of interest...

After writing, Zhou Liang clicked send with satisfaction:
"Upload!"

【Ding! The article has been uploaded!】

You're in the exam room, caught in a frenzy of struggle and unable to put pen to paper. Suddenly, an essay quietly emerges from your mind...

[You read it, but it doesn't feel very refreshing, because it doesn't hit the point at all. You're criticizing the Divine Emperor, the root of all problems! His guilt in slaughtering millions of people is the real cause!]

[However, considering various practical factors, you still have no choice but to adopt this article that is not very satisfying...]

[Of course, you didn't just copy and paste. After writing it, you added a famous quote.]

[…The people of this world have long disobeyed Your Majesty!]
