Of course there was a reason for Meng Yuan to do this.
In order to play the role of the emperor well, Meng Yuan took two acting talent skills just like before when he played Su Xianjun. One can improve his acting skills and expression control ability, and the other can make his every move closer to the emperor.
As for the third talent, he got it quite special.
[Xin·Evil Retreats (Gold): When the character you play is tampered with by a demon, not only can you completely shield yourself from the influence of the demon, but you can also cause a backlash against the demon after the historical slice is breached. 】
As a true sequencer, Meng Yuan can perceive far more things than other players.
Not long after entering the historical slice, Meng Yuan had already sensed the existence of this demon and knew that it was observing every move of the players.
Just like now, the demon was staring at him and Chu Ge, seeming to hesitate.
And which character the demon finally chooses to tamper with may very well determine whether it can successfully crack this trial illusion.
After the players entered, the development of the historical slice has actually changed, so the demon is likely to choose other characters to tamper with, making the development of the slice uncontrollable.
Although other players also have the power of the Orderer and can resist some demons when they are tampered with, the demon this time is stronger after all.
The best result is to let the demon tamper with Meng Yuan himself. While ensuring that everything is foolproof, it can also allow the "evil retreat" talent skill to take effect and weaken the demon.
To achieve this goal, two things must be done: the first is to behave like an emperor and not let the demons see that the emperor is actually played by the Orderer; the second is to show the emperor as weak as possible It is a link that is easy to tamper with, and at the same time, tampering can have a key impact on the direction of the entire historical slice.
In this plot, the emperor actually only had two or three simple sentences. When the player plays Governor Lin, as long as he prepares two confessions in advance and understands how to properly protect Yan Maoqing when meeting the emperor, it is enough to pass the level.
But this does not actually reflect the fact that the emperor is easy to tamper with and has a significant impact on the entire historical slice.
At this time, Meng Yuan wanted to better show the emperor's suspicious and money-grubbing character and let the demon take the bait.
Meng Yuan looked at Chu Ge, and the imperial majesty inherent in his innate skills naturally exuded.
He believed that Chu Ge, as a top player, would be able to understand his intentions and improvise his best acting skills.
Chu Ge did not disappoint him.
"It's all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom, the officers and soldiers of the three armies sacrificed their lives, and the local people also sympathized with the court's difficulties and helped to defeat the bandits. Only then did we achieve some results."
He had already fully integrated into Lin Xiangmin's role, so even if there was an unexpected direction in the script, he did not panic at all, but responded in a satisfactory manner according to Lin Xiangmin's role.
This answer may not be very brilliant, but it is definitely not wrong.
The emperor played by Meng Yuan changed the topic and his tone became much lower: "But some people say that you have been unable to attack Buning Port for a long time, but you let General Deng lead his troops to win consecutive battles and wipe out many bandits. You're raising the bandits to respect themselves, right?"
Chu Ge was shocked: "Your Majesty, I have been doing my best to fight against the bandits in the southeast, and I have absolutely no intention of doing so!"
The emperor played by Meng Yuan leaned forward slightly, his whole body filled with a sense of oppression: "If that's the case, why do you keep asking the imperial court for military supplies?"
Chu Ge was a little stunned and didn't understand why Meng Yuan asked this.
Isn’t insufficient military resources the problem facing the Southeast?
He quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it is true that the bandits are powerful and the frontline military resources are insufficient."
The emperor leaned back slightly: "Is it because the military resources are insufficient? Or is there too much local corruption? You are a practical person, but you don't want to offend others, and you turn a blind eye to the corruption at the top and below. Now that the military resources for the war are insufficient, you can only run away. When you come to the capital to ask for military supplies, tell me, how did you become the governor?"
Hearing this, Chu Ge's eyes lit up.
He understood Meng Yuan's intention!
He had responded passively to several questions raised by Meng Yuan before, but now, when Meng Yuan said these words, "The local government is too greedy," Chu Ge understood instantly.
Meng Yuan is indeed adding drama to himself, but the drama makes perfect sense!
This emperor was a greedy and suspicious emperor, so letting Lin Xiangmin go after simply asking two questions like in the previous mock trial seemed a bit too simple.
In fact, insufficient military resources are by no means just a problem for the imperial court.
Another very important reason is that the officialdom in the entire southeast is seriously corrupt. Even the governor Lin Xiangmin has been giving gifts and theater troupes to Yan Maoqing. What about other officials? It must be effective.
Lin Xiangmin is actually considered a die-hard Strict Party member, so most of the Strict Party members in the entire Southeast are greedy for money and money.
The shortage of military resources is also largely due to the corruption of officials in the southeast.
The emperor's question was actually based on three considerations.
First, the emperor was already suspicious. Lin Xiangmin and General Deng failed to attack Buning Port for a long time, but they kept receiving good news and frequently repelled the bandits' attacks in other places. This really gave people the impression that they were "nurturing the bandits to respect themselves" .
Second, the lack of military resources was indeed due to local corruption, and the emperor who loved money did not want to allocate additional money, so it was logical to beat the governor Lin Xiangmin.
Third, and most importantly, the emperor actually had the idea of killing the Yan Party at this time, so he also took this opportunity to test and beat Lin Xiangmin, and brought up the topic of "The Yan Party in the Southeast is serious about corruption". He wanted to see Will Lin Xiangmin switch sides?
Chu Ge was worthy of being an excellent representative of scribe players. He quickly reacted and lowered his head and said: "I am not a talented person in the border area. I am corrupt in officialdom. As a governor, I cannot escape the crime of neglect. After quelling the bandits, I resigned and returned to my hometown. "
The emperor played by Meng Yuan's face darkened: "Don't use resignation as an excuse, I'm not that stupid yet..."
The two of them talked to each other, pretending to be monarchs and ministers, and they started to fight.
…
At this time, the black smoke in the air was billowing, giving off a feeling of joy.
The conversation between the king and his ministers was under the full view of the demon.
Originally, the demon just wanted to continue to stare at Lin Xiangmin and finally decide whether to tamper with him or Wang Zongchang, but at this time, he suddenly discovered that tampering with the emperor seemed to be a very good choice!
Judging from the conversation between the emperor and Lin Xiangmin, the emperor was obviously a greedy and suspicious person.
The final provision of military resources was obviously quite reluctant, and it was only after Lin Xiangmin exhausted all his strategies and made the entire cabinet present a delicate balance that he got the opportunity to go to Beijing to meet the emperor.
So...what if we tamper with the emperor?
The emperor himself was not a wise king who loved his people like a son, and he would not have the protection of awe-inspiring righteousness like General Deng. Moreover, slightly tampering with some results to prevent the emperor from distributing military resources due to various reasons is basically in line with the emperor's character. It is very confusing and difficult to detect.
In the original dialogue, the emperor said too few words and his character was not obvious, so after consideration, the demon finally tampered with Wang Zongchang, a safer choice.
But now, the emperor's character was revealed so perfectly that the demon changed his mind.
It continued to observe the emperor's subtle expressions and movements and made the final decision.
But in the end, it didn't see any flaws.
A wisp of black air, almost invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, floated from the air and penetrated into the emperor's body without anyone noticing.
