Seeing the silent Ye Qing, Xi Che looked at the lake and said:
"Being an emperor is actually a very tiring thing. You have to consider many things that you have never even thought about before."
"You need to know which of your courtiers are loyal, capable, resourceful, and talented. You also need to know those who have evil intentions, those who are corrupt and bribery, those who are mediocre and incompetent, and those who are treacherous and loyal."
"Even if you know this, you have only just taken one step away from becoming an emperor."
"Some people are loyal but incompetent, some people are corrupt but very capable, some people have evil intentions, but there are some things that only he can do, and some people are amazingly talented, but they don't understand the general situation and their hearts are as high as the sky."
"You have to control these people well just like a shepherd controls his dogs. Let them help you manage the country, and they always want to use you to satisfy some of their own selfish desires. An emperor has no cronies, and you can never go too far. Trust any minister, you are the only supreme one. Even if someone is really loyal, knowledgeable and capable, you have to try to use a sharp knife. Even if it is possible to scratch yourself, you have to learn to feed the wolf, even if he will bite him back every moment. host."
"This is above the court, but outside the court, you need to care about more things. Where there are floods and droughts, you have to allocate funds for disaster relief, and you have to consider exploitation and embezzlement in the process. You have to send the most suitable candidates to do this. In this matter, integrity is not the only criterion. "
"It is impossible for only one race to exist in your land. Racial discord is always the most troublesome problem for an empire. Preferring to either side will arouse the anger of the masses. Fighting against each other will only be counterproductive. It is impossible for you to really destroy one of them. Total genocide, because there are costs to consider."
"How many men, how many horses, how many weapons, how many armors are there in your army? How is its morale, how is its food and salary, how is its people's hearts, and what is its fighting spirit? You also need to know these things. How loyal, brave, and addicted are your generals? Kill, you also have to consider those things that are stable."
"You also have to consider your neighboring country, what its national conditions are like, whether it is strong or declining, whether it poses a threat to you, and whether it can be conquered."
“It’s one thing to think about it, it’s another thing to do it all.”
"I seize the throne by force, so naturally I must rely on force to consolidate my empire. Killing Xilie is what I must do, although patricide is not a palatable crime. And my lovely brothers, since they choose If they get their hands on this bloody crown, they will naturally have to bear the consequences of failure themselves. "
"As for the other things you accuse me of, the only thing I can assure you is that wherever my army goes, it never commits a crime."
Ye Qing listened quietly and then said, "Then, why did you take this path?"
"Because there are more scenery to see." Xiche replied softly, his eyes blurred: "This is also what my father expects me to do."
"So you and I can never go back to the original relationship." Ye Qing said: "When you send troops to invade Lanye, it will be the day when you and I will fight to the death."
"She is really a heartless girl." Xiche smiled, and then said: "You are still angry, right? About the mark I asked that child to draw."
"He is my only sister, what do you think?" Ye Qing asked coldly.
Xiche lowered his head: "Then I apologize to you. Xiche did not consider your feelings at that time. I am really sorry."
Ye Qing's eyes widened.
She never thought that she could hear words of apology from his mouth. He was the godless king who ruled the world with one word and had no reason to bow to anyone.
Xiche raised his head and saw her surprised expression, and smiled gently: "There is nothing to be surprised about. As I said, I am still me and will not change anything because I become the emperor."
"I left the Oden Empire alone and came here. Although I am not talented, I have finally entered the realm of heaven. Although it is a good choice to completely hide in the city to avoid the eyes and ears of those big shots, once I am discovered, I will be forced to It's a very embarrassing situation." Xi Che said with a shrug, with an innocent expression: "A boss-level guy sneaked into another camp's base camp instead of staying in his own nest. No matter how you think about it, it's a slap in the face. Even I don’t believe that I’m not planning to make some shocking conspiracy.”
"So I had to do something to show that I was here. Sure enough, the dean and the teacher immediately came over to accuse me, which scared my little heart. You should know that although the Tiandao Sword is strong, there are still many people in this city who can stop him. people."
Ye Qing bit his lip and said, "Then, what is your purpose in coming here?"
"Of course one of the purposes is to visit some old friends." Xiche smiled softly. I have to say that the emperor's smile is very beautiful. "Purpose two, I will tell you when the time comes."
Ye Qing said slightly angrily: "As if you are a good person."
Xiche smiled: "I have never been a good person, princess, there is no need to care."
"Let me tell you something that is of greatest concern to Her Royal Highness. Within three years, I have absolutely no plans to attack Lanye." Xiche said with a smile. This is a real emperor's smile, but it does not have any meaning as a cover for emotions. meaning. "The reason is simple, because this empire is still strong enough."
"Between countries, interests are always the eternal topic. Without enough interests, no one will rashly start a war."
As he spoke, the emperor looked at Ye Qing's face seriously: "So my dear princess, work hard to make your country stronger, so strong that I will never be greedy. This will be a good ending."
Ye Qing lowered his head and replied quietly: "I will."
Then Xiche spoke again: "That Liushuang was given to you by Yi Lanshan, and he didn't tell you how to use it."
Ye Qing paused, she had thought of something.
Why at that time, when she asked the other party to take off the mask.
From any point of view, there is no need for this man to take off the mask that hides his hair color and pupils. This is not a favorable move.
If the previous stab at the opening ceremony announced his arrival to the big shots at the top of the city, then at this time, even if there are still many people who don't know him, students with a little bit of access will be very familiar with it. Hurry up and find out what kind of terrifying existence has come to this academy.
But he took it off anyway without any hesitation.
"Probably, I want to use you as a surprise weapon." Xiche laughed silently: "When I gave him this dagger as a reward for all the gifts, I told him that no matter when, where, or what Man, whoever holds this dagger comes to me, and I will promise him three things."
Then Xi Che looked at Ye Qing's pure white face: "I really didn't expect that the first thing he did was to ask me to take off my mask."
"There are two more things. Princess, please think about how to use them."
