Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

During the reign of Emperor Zhao.

The court officials were all delighted.

A wise ruler is good. It would be even better if the next three generations were also wise rulers!

Before long, those remnants of the Great Qi, who are like rats hiding in the gutter, will probably be unable to survive.

Still trying to mislead the people?

Ah.

They were lucky to escape being taken to the government by the people in exchange for credit.

Emperor Guanglie: "Did you hear that? I am a wise ruler! I am going to fight. Gather the money and provisions for me, and send troops to Longyou!"

"Your Majesty, we have no money."

The Minister of Revenue spoke honestly.

"I must send troops!"

"No money."

"I am a wise ruler!"

"I know, but I have no money."

Emperor Guanglie: ...

He cursed under his breath.

Sometimes I really want to drag this old guy out and chop him up, but if I chop him up, I can't find anyone more powerful.

So annoying!

"However, as everyone knows, Emperor Jiaheng's reputation is rather... well, let's just say it's not all. But! If you ask me, all the emperors of the Great Kang Dynasty were, to some extent, morally corrupt."

Youyou laughed as she spoke, "Emperor Kangwu was short of food and horses when he was fighting a war, so he went to the barbarians to buy them, but they only gave a deposit and didn't pay the balance."

"What followed was even better: outright robbery. Using the provisions and troops provided by the barbarians, they turned around and robbed the barbarians of their money. I can only say, you truly are worthy of being called Emperor Kangwu."

Emperor Kangwu: ...

Can you blame him for that?

He really didn't have much money at that time; he couldn't let his soldiers go hungry, could he?

Only barbarians are easy to bully and have a lot of money, so... right? What's with all this talk about robbing or not robbing? That sounds awful. That's called borrowing.

borrow!

understand?

The barbarians: ? ? ?

Look me in the eyes and speak!

You look so handsome and have such thick eyebrows, yet you refuse to pay your debts and even robbed us! You have no shame!

"Emperor Zhao was also quite shrewd."

Youyou's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Selling eight hundred pieces of fake news a day, with twenty stand-ins running back and forth, we've made those remnants of the former dynasty who still want to revive the Great Qi dynasty look like dogs."

Emperor Zhao: ...

How can you blame him?

The remnants of the previous dynasty have resurfaced and are trying to assassinate him. He's just being cautious and doesn't want to die.

What's wrong with him?

The remnants: ? ? ?

Which emperor was so afraid of death?

Twenty more body doubles?

You mean they spent a lot of money to buy fake news that you deliberately released, and painstakingly planned an assassination, only to kill a fake?

answer me!

Emperor Zhao: It's possible we can't kill him.

After all, cultivating a counterfeit product is very expensive, so how could he just abandon it?

"And Emperor Guanglie."

Yoyo laughed even louder, “They send their own troops out to fight, and after the battle they claim it's to avenge their vassal states and then demand payment from them. The vassal states never intended to fight, but with their troops at the gates, they had no choice but to pay. The emperors of those vassal states were so frustrated that they all died long ago.”

"They even dumped a bunch of junk from the national treasury, forcing vassal states to buy it back at exorbitant prices."

Emperor Guanglie: Cough cough.

Well... it's not that the Ministry of Revenue didn't give the money, so how can you blame him?

Dependent states: ? ? ?

I hired you, so you expect me to pay you?

You're even forcing me to buy or sell!

Pooh!

"Therefore, the Song family's immoral nature, inherited from the root, finally manifested itself in Emperor Jiaheng."

Youyou: "Actually, Emperor Jiaheng could have held back, but unfortunately, he met his destined soulmate, Shujiao."

[Sister Shu has arrived!]

[Hahaha, my Sister Shu, a ruthless strategist and intelligence chief whose name is etched in history, strikes fear into the hearts of all.]

[The Xiling tribe thanks Emperor Jiaheng for his mercy; otherwise, our entire tribe would have died a dishonorable death.]

[Shu Jiao, single-handedly, lowered the moral standards of the entire Da Kang Dynasty.]

Emperor Jiaheng committed a multitude of immoral acts, yet he was posthumously honored with the title "Benevolent Sage," all thanks to my sister Shu.

The emperors: This adjective... doesn't seem quite right.

Emperor Jiaheng: Wait a minute?

What does it mean to have done a lot of immoral things?

Is he really that immoral?

How could such a wise and powerful emperor be so immoral?

"Emperor Jiaheng, posthumously honored as 'Rensheng'. Let's first talk about Emperor Jiaheng's achievements."

Youyou coughed lightly and opened her own handwritten notes: "Pacify the border troubles and expand our territory. Please look at the big screen."

With a "whoosh," a map appeared in the sky.

"Blue represents the original territory of the Great Kang Dynasty."

Youyou tapped the screen lightly, "Red represents the territory of the Great Kang during Emperor Jiaheng's reign. It expanded more than three times."

[They attacked nomadic tribes in the north, island natives in the south, raided major tribes in the east, and conquered small countries along the way in the west. The death toll started at millions, and the number of countries and tribes destroyed was at least a hundred.]

[Not that little.]

During the reign of Emperor Jiaheng, there were three major purges of the court, resulting in the deaths of as many as 70,000 officials.

[They went to sea and massacred 400,000 natives on the island, burying 250,000 alive.]

Emperors: Wait!

its not right! !

These data and these behaviors clearly indicate a tyrannical and cruel ruler. How could his posthumous title be "Benevolent Sage"?

"What a ghost."

Emperor Kangwu shook his head, puzzled. "Did the court officials have knives to their necks when they were choosing posthumous titles?"

Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense.

"Benevolence? Sagehood?"

Emperor Zhao looked bewildered. "It's already good enough that he's not given the posthumous title 'Zhou'."

Emperor Guanglie clicked his tongue in amazement, "Good heavens, you killed 70,000 court officials, and no one rebelled? When I kill a few, a whole bunch of people start grumbling about me."

Talent.

What a talent!

Emperor Hui: ...

He silently stared at the crown prince he had just appointed, and said in a subtle tone, "I didn't realize you were so bloodthirsty."

Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands were killed.

How many people are you going to kill?

I've worked so hard and diligently to create this prosperous era, don't you dare squander it all.

Not right either.

Wasn't you said to be a wise ruler?

Where did you go, Ming?

"Even though he killed so many people, Emperor Jiaheng's posthumous title was still Rensheng. Why?"

Youyou lightly tapped the table. "Were the court officials forced into it? No. Of course, it's because Emperor Jiaheng is truly kind!"

Emperors: ...

Huh~

There's no way that kind-hearted person could exist in the Song family.

Yes, I can testify.

Without my sister Shu, Emperor Jiaheng would at least be called a tyrant; with my sister Shu, Emperor Jiaheng is the most benevolent emperor in the world!

[Shu Jiao: Kill all two million. Emperor Jiaheng: That's too cruel, kill two hundred thousand. I admit, Emperor Jiaheng is merciful!]

There's nothing else to it, it's all thanks to my sister Shu making her stand out.

[Shu Jiao: If the plague spreads there, everyone will die. Emperor Jiaheng: Have some humanity.]

[Back then, after Emperor Jiaheng destroyed all the vassal states, they secretly erected longevity tablets for him, praying that he would live to be a hundred years old. Otherwise, no one could control my Sister Shu, and they would have suffered terribly.]

[The court officials were no exception. Without Emperor Jiaheng, they would all have been tormented to death by Shu Jiao.]

Seeing these comments, the various dynasties finally understood.

So, it's all about the contrast?

This Shu Jiao is a dangerous person, absolutely.

Why would Emperor Jiaheng keep her alive instead of killing her?

Is it because they are too smart to give up, or are they still hoping for advice from others?

Weird!

—I originally thought about starting a new chapter, but seeing that everyone wants to read extras, I'll just write two short ones. (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～
