Chapter 944 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (2)
It’s a new word, but I was pretty well suited for the job of emperor.
The Emperor did not have to be good at everything.
If you use people well, everything will be solved.
‘In the game, cities are built and soldiers are trained with a click, but in reality it’s not like that.’
It is impossible for the emperor to see and receive everything that comes up from below.
Before coming up to the emperor, unless it’s a serious matter, the lower nobles take care of it.
Nevertheless, the emperor did a lot of things.
If the emperor had a short life, it would be because he had too much work.
Several dozen, even hundreds, of various incidents occur every day.
More bad things happened than good things happened.
‘I did earn a lot of work.’
Rapid growth of the empire.
Other countries would be envious, but it required a lot of fatigue to make it happen.
As I work, incidents keep happening.
Of course, if I hadn’t done anything at all, I would have had less trouble.
‘It’s boring.’
But my innocence made that impossible.
You know how to make it better, but you don’t interfere with this?
‘I had no choice but to become a hunchungchung.’
The good thing about road maintenance is that you don’t have to talk about it.
Of course, I had to do it, and I couldn’t stand the foul smell of walking down the street.
He also did not like the extreme difference in life between commoners and nobles.
Cultural life also provided some support.
I’m an idol, but can’t a country ruled by such a person be weak in the field of culture and art?
As the active support went in, talented people who did not know where they came from came out of nowhere.
Of course, it was the nobles who benefited the most.
However, a small number of commoners also benefited from the imperial family.
‘The nobles were displeased, but it can’t be helped.’
Just as a person’s starting point is not fair, talent is also not fair.
Among the commoners buried below, there was a jewel with a talent that shone as much as the nobles, even more than the nobles.
‘It’s so amazing.’
I didn’t know why there was a saying that history repeats itself, but now that I’ve become emperor, I seem to understand.
Things that happen in a place where people gather and form a society start to flow in a similar way if you don’t try to stop it.
When talented commoners are born somewhere, they want to show off their talents.
And such common people will gather and try to change the frame of the country.
‘That was the Revolutionary Army.’
The country was divided by the Revolutionary Army, and the land was divided once more by the independence of the nobles.
The country was going into a mess as Emperor Geos had to pretend to be with the remaining nobles in his country because of Bianca.
‘Emperor and nobles are fighting, but it’s the people who really explode.’
The battle between the two forces was eating away at the rich Geos Empire.
‘Still, the emperor is not completely incompetent. Or are those nobles stupid?’
In fact, if the emperor had an affair with the nobles, he thought that the emperor’s side would soon be defeated.
Even though I’m helping from behind, isn’t it something I can intervene in every single one?
‘Still, I had the feeling that I could just drag it out as much as possible.’
To the surprise of Emperor Geos, his neck was still intact until now.
It seems that he was still having an embarrassing time being crushed by the aristocratic forces, but it wasn’t to the point of being kicked out of the position of emperor.
The title of emperor had power in itself.
‘Anyway…It was fortunate that the nobles changed their minds when I said that if I continued to oppress the commoners, it could end up like the Geos Empire.’
Seeing what happened to the Geos Empire, the nobles also seemed to be alert.
How to bite a cat when a mouse is cornered.
The aristocrats quickly agreed to the idea that they would allow the commoners to live in the back space and prevent the creation of a revolutionary army.
Thanks to this, he also created a ‘school’, an educational institution that teaches commoners.
‘Once one was fixed, the other was also regrettable, and after fixing it like that, I became more serious about governing this country than I thought.’
But I couldn’t do this forever.
It started as a mission, but after more than 10 years, it was time to quit.
But.
“How do I leave…?”
To be honest, it would be a lie if I said I did not develop affection for the people here.
But is it because the relationship started with the end decided from the beginning?
When it was time to sort things out, I was able to accept the situation calmly, albeit a bit bitter.
The problem is that I thought that I wanted to do well even when I left because I had been acting as the emperor for a long time.
“Writer, if you were the writer, how would you exit in a situation like this?”
“I didn’t know Haesol was interested in fantasy.”
Am I an actor, not a screenwriter?
However, I did know the person who made the scenario as an acquaintance.
“Does the emperor have to die? It seems to me that the emperor is the main character. Are you thinking of a bad ending?”
“Is it necessarily a bad ending just because the main character dies? The main character dies, but I hope it’s not a bad ending, but rather an ending in which the empire develops further.”
After hearing my explanation, the artist frowned and said that I was quite picky.
“Then… I don’t think there’s any way to solve it other than war.”
“If it’s war, it’s something I’ve been thinking about. It’s also something I seasoned deliciously for that in the first place.”
The Geos Empire was a sweet fruit full of flesh that was perfect for chewing now.
“But war would be difficult to write as a novel. It would be difficult for those who are not used to writing. Large-scale battle scenes are also quite difficult.”
“It’s not like I’m going to write a great novel. It’s just a hobby.”
“Yeah, it’s because the more you use it, the better it gets.”
“The problem is that if you die on the battlefield, it’s just a bad ending.”
Did the emperor die on the battlefield?
The morale of the remaining soldiers will hit bottom, and the war is likely to fizzle out.
The scenario I wanted was for the Geos Empire to be swallowed up by those who remain, outraged by my death on the battlefield.
“I think that part is too difficult.”
“It’s definitely a difficult scenario for beginners to write. That part will depend on how the main character dies. As the main character, shouldn’t he die beautifully?”
Perhaps the author also likes fantasy, so he was quite excited and gave me advice.
“It just happened that there was an heir. How about giving hope to the heir with the feeling of entrusting him with the next thing? Is the emperor good at swordsmanship? It’s not bad to die instead while trying to protect the heir. It’s become a cliché.”
So, if you listen to the author, it’s roughly like this.
Just like the words of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who said not to inform the enemy of my death, the emperor, that is, my death, should be used as a means to win the war in the same way.
‘Certainly following a cliché is not a bad opinion.’
However, I was worried that I might leave too much of a shock to my son, who should become the emperor after me.
He’s smart because he resembles me, but I don’t think it’s good for education to see my own death when I’m young.
Then take them to the battlefield?
‘I know it’s a cultural difference that I have to adapt to because the world is different…’
I only thought of children as objects to be protected, but it is difficult because I have never acted coldly.
‘Calm down. He is the one who will become the emperor after me, but if he protects me weakly, he will become a mama boy who will be swung around by the empress. I have to close my eyes and educate them early.’
My son has been trained in various combat skills since he was young.
It was because I wanted my heir to eat all of the Geos Empire and grow the Empire.
Fortunately, he has talent, and his personality is not weak.
However, I was worried that the empress loved her mother so much because she had raised her with pampering.
When I die, my younger son will become emperor, and the empress will perform convergence beside her son.
‘I have to raise her so that she can be independent from my mother while carrying her around during the war.’
The war will be a means to splendidly decorate my finale, and it will serve as an opportunity for the crown prince to grow up while being pampered and cared for in the imperial family.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I think I got a direction on how to use it.”
“Show me when you’re done later. I’ll take a look.”
“It’s a beginner, so it’s embarrassing to show it to others.”
“A novel needs a reader. Why would you write a story that you won’t show to anyone?
…Although it became a plate where I had to write a novel all of a sudden.

“We must declare war.”
“!!!!!”
“Lungs, Your Majesty?!”
Malevolent malevolent-
The Geos Empire would seem like a great country to those who don’t know much about its interior.
However, those of us who knew the inside by examining it closely knew how precarious the situation was.
“The Geos Empire has been doing a lot of unreasonable things in the meantime in the course of national business. In addition, the emperor and the nobles are said to be fighting and raising their voices every day by pretending to be.”
It was something all of us aristocrats knew well.
“I endured for a very long time. How many years have I been salivating over that delicious prey? I have been patient and patient to minimize the sacrifice of our military.”
Gulp!
Tension lingers on the faces of the nobles.
“But how long should our empire just be patient? Our empire has developed at a rapid pace and has acquired the dignity of an empire. Now, it’s not too much to look at the Geos Empire.”
“Your Majesty, it is true that the Geos Empire has become much weaker than in the past, but it is an empire with very fertile soil. The mighty power of those years will never be easy.”
“So you’re against war?”
If there are nobles who want war, then there will be nobles who want peace.
No matter how much justification is given to war, isn’t it inevitable that there will be innocent sacrifices for the interests of the vested interests?
“You’re misunderstanding, Your Majesty! A small man is requesting to fight for the Empire at the forefront!”
“?”
I thought that was the case just a moment ago.
However, the reaction of the nobles to the war was much more positive than expected.
