Chapter 2976 The one who took power was foolish; everyone betrayed him.
The person in the upper position looked at everyone in surprise.
Among them are Li Shanye, Lan Yu, Han Tie, Hu Wei, and others; they are all his absolute confidants!
He never expected that those bastards would choose to side with the schoolteacher!
These people all looked at Wenren Sheng with eager smiles, wishing they could immediately place the imperial robe on his head.
"You, you..." He pointed at the crowd, momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, it was he who initially wanted to show off, to act classy, and to set an example for the world.
So he said, "The world is already settled, we should invite him to be the emperor."
As expected, Li Shanshen spoke up, "As for the throne, it was you who said before that you wanted to invite you to be the emperor."
"That's right, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
The person in charge was furious when he saw Li Shanchang.
How could he be so blind as to appoint the other party as his strategist?
This guy clearly had moments of wavering and betrayal.
On one occasion, there were too many enemies, and this guy didn't believe he could defeat them, so he chose to run away.
Now it's like this again.
And at this time.
Lan Yu also said, "Your Excellency, this person is our savior."
"Yes, he gave us our lives."
"We are able to do these things thanks to the skills taught by our teachers."
"We should listen to our teachers."
"That's right, we do whatever the teacher tells us to do."
"Only in this way can we live well."
"That's right. With teachers, we have everything. Without teachers, we are nothing."
Everyone agreed, as if they had been drugged.
And they even used the words of someone in a higher position to shut him down.
The person in the upper position looked at everyone with a livid expression.
He never imagined that after seven or eight years of hard work, he would end up benefiting someone else.
However, he was, after all, a strong-willed, stubborn, and suspicious ruler.
So he forced himself to speak and said, "You're right. I agree with what you said. We have everything because of our teachers. Without our teachers, we are nothing."
And so it went. Soon Wenren Sheng began preparations for his ascension to the throne.
But the one in the higher position spoke up:
"Sir, it's getting late now."
"Why don't we prepare properly and start tomorrow?"
Wenren Sheng smiled and nodded: "That's true. I just happened to have something to tell you."
Soon, a group of his superiors followed Wenren Sheng away.
The superior was furious, wishing he could immediately summon executioners to slaughter these people on the spot.
But he is indeed remarkable; he can resist doing so.
Because he knew that if he did that, his position would become unstable.
He will bear the stigma of being "ungrateful and murdering his benefactor".
Moreover, if he can do this, others will follow his example.
Moreover, he was also worried that those generals might betray him, just like Li Shanye and his ilk.
(Don't worry, it's all covered.)
After all, even a general like Lan Yu expressed his stance on the spot.
This made him very worried.
in the afternoon.
He secretly summoned several of his most trusted confidants, all of whom had done dirty work for him and would never defect to Wen Rensheng, and they ate and drank together in a room.
He's doing this kind of thing one less time like now.
It's even impossible for him to drink with these subordinates anymore.
This time, he didn't lower his guard because he wanted the throne.
"Do you know why these guys all betrayed me?"
"Did they already have ulterior motives?" one of the subordinates said angrily.
"I don't know. Just yesterday, Mr. Li kept saying that he would advise you to become emperor."
"Yes, I heard it too."
"Why did he change in just one day?"
Several of his trusted subordinates who rose to power also disappeared for reasons unknown.
"Could he possess some kind of sorcery?" One of the subordinates, unsure of what to do, simply offered a vague explanation.
"Nonsense! The teacher said long ago that this world is a material world where matter determines consciousness, and there are no demons or monsters." The superior was furious and embarrassed.
If he really lost to sorcery, then what did all his hard work over the years amount to?
They looked at each other, stunned.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Even if you rise to power, perhaps they haven't betrayed you."
"They were just going through the motions with that gentleman."
"Nonsense, how could they say something like that without consulting me?" the superior said discontentedly.
The men immediately fell silent, trembling with fear.
Suddenly, they felt that killing this superior and siding with the master would be better.
Because the gentleman has always been kind, righteous, and tolerant.
Even after that inexplicable woman appeared and argued with Mr. [Name], he was only starved, not executed.
However, this person who rose to power, despite having acquired a great deal of magical knowledge, was ruthless in his methods.
They readily kill those who have rendered meritorious service.
I will act decisively and never hesitate to take action if the other party poses a threat.
They even want to kill many innocent people.
This is clearly because the superiors believe they have powerful weapons like grenades, so they think the generals are unimportant, disobedient, and threatening, and therefore must be eliminated.
There's no need to wait until later.
After all, modern knowledge can also be dangerous.
A single hand grenade could easily take his life.
Suddenly someone said, "In our opinion, there's nothing wrong with making you emperor."
"Yes, sir. He's been very good to us and is a very honest person."
"They won't mistreat us."
Upon hearing this, even the person in charge was dumbfounded.
These trusted confidants, for no apparent reason, have also turned against me!
Something's definitely fishy here!
"What are you talking about? Are you even thinking straight?" He picked up the wine jar and poured it over their heads.
Several people were indeed out of their minds.
I was just recalling what Wenren Sheng said, and I found it to be very reasonable.
Now, stimulated by the alcohol, I feel something is not quite right.
I've always followed him to the top.
If I were to defect to Wenrensheng halfway through, wouldn't that be courting death?
Neither side would believe their own 1
The person in charge was very angry.
He immediately began to take action, searching everywhere for manpower to assassinate Wenren Sheng.
……
And at this time.
The person in charge was unaware of this.
Wen Rensheng was drinking with Li Shanzhan and a few others.
As they drank, a new image appeared in the minds of several of the superior's subordinates.
That is: they saw what would happen 20 years from now.
Twenty years later, for the sake of his children, his family, and his imperial power, the emperor killed them all one by one.
Moreover, it wiped out nine generations of their families at once, implicating tens of thousands of people.
Many of them were innocent servants, or even fellow villagers.
Many people didn't even know Li Shanye, but they were executed along with him simply because they were from the same county.
Even so, there are still many people who keep saying "feudal monarchs were so good and wise"... It's simply laughable.
When it was their turn to be executed, they realized how brilliant their strategy was.
Even the worst of all modern powers is a hundred times better than a feudal monarch.
At least the former treats people as human beings, while the latter does not, but rather treats them as tools.
Threatening tools must be destroyed, regardless of who owns them.
In other words, the timeline of this world has suddenly changed.
These high-ranking officials had essentially seen the future. Having gained memories of the future, their expressions suddenly changed.
Lan Yu immediately burst into a tirade:
"Damn it, you got promoted! Brothers risked their lives for you, risked their lives for you!"
"You killed your entire family in one fell swoop!"
“My brother has committed a crime and deserves to die, but my 80-year-old father is so innocent!”
"My grandson is so innocent!"
He was furious because he had given so much.
Moreover, he risked his life to rise to power, nearly dying dozens of times.
Now look what's happened; it turns out they'll be executed in the future, their connections discarded after they've served their purpose.
Moreover, not a single member of their family survived; it would be better not to rebel at all!
When they didn't rebel, at most seven or eight out of ten would starve to death, but now they've all been implicated and killed!
Before a rebellion, fewer people die; after a rebellion, more people die. So it's definitely better not to rebel!
Thinking of this, these people were all extremely angry.
They naturally didn't want to be used and then discarded by their superiors.
So, after a few drinks, they all chose to join Wenrensheng's side.
Wen Rensheng, of course, would not abandon his benefactor after using him.
As long as they do not break the law, they can live in peace for ten thousand years.
After all, Wenren Sheng didn't have any demands on this world, so he let them do whatever they wanted.
As long as innocent people are not harmed, it's fine.
In short, these people all decided to betray those who had risen to power.
They're not stupid, and none of them have a selfless mentality.
"That's what happened."
"Brothers, take down the one who's in charge!"
"That's right, we can't be like Han Xin!"
"Han Xin was too stupid. He clearly had the power to rebel but didn't. He was killed by a woman with just a few bamboo sticks."
"Yes, at least raising an army and dying in the chaos is better than this."
"It's laughable that a dignified military genius was killed by a woman."
After saying this, everyone pressed on with renewed vigor and prepared to kill their way to power that very night.
Wen Rensheng, of course, did not stop it; he simply watched the show.
……
At this moment.
Those in power are also looking for people to deal with these people.
"Those damned guys!"
"I refuse to believe we can't take them down!"
He then summoned the secret guards he had trained long ago.
He told them, "My adopted sons!"
"Your goal is simple: kill that bastard."
"Kill that bastard completely."
"Understood, take over."
The adopted sons didn't ask who the bastard was, because they all knew there was only one.
The person mentioned by the superior is the only one who meets the criteria.
He quickly dispatched his secret guards to kill Wenren Sheng.
To prevent these people from wavering, he personally led a group to follow behind them.
This is not unusual.
He was a founding father of the nation and frequently went to the battlefield in person.
The consequence of not doing so is that military power falls into the hands of others.
What shocked him was that when these secret guards arrived at Wenren Sheng's place, just as they were about to make their move...
Wen Rensheng only said one sentence, and these people switched sides.
Do you want to know the truth?
"Actually, you are not born orphans. Many of your parents were killed by those in power, and then you were adopted."
“In fact, if it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have become orphans at all.”
From the superior's perspective, the secret guards he personally trained would never listen to him.
However, as Wenren Sheng laughed heartily, his loyal bodyguards were all bribed by him one by one.
Then Wenren Sheng sent them to assassinate this man who wanted to become emperor.
At this time,
Those in power have already seen the truth from afar.
He finally gave up.
He never expected that even the secret guards he had personally trained would betray him.
He couldn't help but feel despair.
If such a force cannot be loyal to him, then it is conceivable that if he leads his men to kill Wen Rensheng, he will only meet with one fate.
At the enemy's command, these soldiers would defect, and he would be divided into five parts.
He immediately wanted to rush forward and question Wenren Sheng.
Finally, he couldn't control himself.
Because he discovered that his house had been raided.
Moreover, the person in charge was Lan Yu, who had personally told them about the exit so that they could safely evacuate with their families in case of crisis.
However, all of this has now turned into theft by those in charge.
He led the group forward and asked:
"Sir, what kind of magic do you use? Why do everyone else listen to you?"
"What kind of mushrooms did you feed them to make them do something like this?"
"I don't believe they'll go from being lucid to being an idiot."
"You must be a liar; you've deceived everyone."
Wenren Sheng immediately smiled.
You say I deceived everyone, but how did I deceive them?
The person in the superior position immediately began to curse, "Why did this happen? Why did this happen?"
"I refuse to accept this! It's all a lie!"
"You've orchestrated this whole thing as a scam!"
"Quickly bring everyone back to their senses."
Upon seeing this, Wenren Sheng couldn't help but laugh again.
"Haha, so you think it's a scam just because you say so?"
"Things aren't that good now."
"You're still too young."
After Wenren Sheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head.
that's it.
Wenren Sheng watched as this person rose to power, all his hard work over the years coming to naught.
At this moment, the one who took power began to regret it.
Wenren Sheng shook his head and said, "Now you understand how your brothers feel, right? After you succeed in taking over, you'll take care of your brothers too."
"Those brothers worked hard for you for decades, only to be betrayed by you in the end."
"The key issue is that many people have lost their lives because of their involvement in ordinary matters."
"Why are you able to oppress others so recklessly and without restraint? The reason is that you are surrounded by desert."
"It's very difficult for ordinary people to escape."
"Heh, it's alright that you killed the founding heroes for violating the law."
"But your sons are also reckless, why don't you kill them?"
"You're just trying to protect your own power."
"In addition, you have killed many ignorant people."
“They had no connection with these criminals; they just forced themselves to do something about spreading information to meet a quota.”
At this moment, the person in the upper position looked astonished.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Hehe, there are many things you don't know," Wenren Sheng said, shaking his head.
"When I become emperor, I can bring benefits to the people. What can you do when you become emperor?" He still wanted to struggle after taking the throne.
"Heh, power can turn anyone into a monster." Wenren Sheng took a deep breath.
"The only way to solve this problem is to prevent you from obtaining superhuman powers."
