Chapter 981 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (39)
They robbed the nobles.
I didn’t torture you by leaving you outside on a rainy day, but your mentality must have been splintered since you openly brushed off the nobles who were so afraid of me.
If you don’t want to hear something like this, isn’t it better to do well?
No matter how many times he had beaten the child, the prince’s face had been cut in half.
It didn’t just happen because he was stabbed with a knife, but basically, the child had accumulated a lot of blood.
“I owe you a great debt.”
I also learned that the escort knight (former concubine) I had attached had made a great contribution to saving the prince’s life.
He also found out that the escort knights had been doing the work that the nobles should have done for the crown prince.
After knowing that, I regretted not being able to roll the nobles more excitedly.
‘And the Geos Empire, these bastards can’t be left alone.’
We were hit like this, but if we stay still, it’s a hogu.
You have to repay what you suffered.
The problem is how to repay him so that the bastard feels the same anger he felt.
‘And I’m not sure if the target of my anger is the Geos Empire or the temple.’
And I also thought that the Geos Empire should not be taken lightly.
I couldn’t have imagined that the spy was put in so deeply.
“I’m going to have to go into internal crackdown.”
Even if you do well, if you have an inside spy, you will ruin your work.
In fact, she hadn’t been negligent in internal crackdowns.
However, there is no such thing as perfection in what people do, and the place where there was a gap was just the most important point.
In order to prevent this from happening again, he decided to check the nobles in important positions once in a while.
And fortunately, there was no one who seemed to be another spy among the high-ranking officials.
There was nothing wrong with me because I was directly involved rather than leaving it to others.
While I was fiercely cracking down on the inside, nobles were dying on the battlefield.
“Anyone who comes back after losing a war is better off not coming back.”
It was the homework given to the nobles to prove their necessity at all costs.
Since I was awake anyway, there was no need for the prince to go to the battlefield by overdoing it.
I did something that was not supposed to be balanced, and the child almost died.
I still get goosebumps when I think of that night.
It felt so strange, and the dream was disturbed, so I came in.
It was as if my intuition saved the crown prince.
And I was that much angry at the nobles who hadn’t been of any help to the crown prince until I came.
“You can do it. These bastards… Get out of here.”
And the nobles, realizing that their lives were in danger, began to roll.
Just as much as they rolled, the results came.
While I was away, the war continued to be sluggish, but when the nobles made up their minds and started rampaging, they began to seize victory again.
And I prepared one more candy for the Geos Empire.
“Spread rumors that the Emperor of the Empire has fallen.”
We went through one internal crackdown, so maybe the other side won’t know what we’re doing.
The information they knew in advance was that an assassin was sent to kill the crown prince.
And it’s just that the news has been cut off.
And then all of a sudden the news from the other spies was cut off…
‘It’s probably running a lot of happy circuits.’
Wouldn’t you think that the Empire was hunting for the spy because he succeeded in killing the crown prince, and that the other spies were also cut off from news?
You will be very curious if the assassin succeeded in killing the crown prince.
‘Why do I have to tell you what happened to the crown prince?’
I deliberately took the crown prince and secluded himself so that he would not show himself on the battlefield.
“Is it really okay to do this?”
The prince seemed uneasy about leaving the war to the nobles, but since he couldn’t lead the country well this way, he decided to take this opportunity to teach him one more thing.
“Don’t try to do it all by yourself.”
“Yes?”
“It’s enough to prove your mettle. It’s time to move on to the next level.”
“The next step…?”
While the prince was delighted that he had proved his ability, he perked up his ears at the words of the next step.
“To put it simply, it’s learning how to pamper your subordinates.”
“…Do you learn to pamper yourself?”
The prince did not know anything about that part yet.
So I had to change my body to fill the vacancy without me.
I reflected on my carefree thought that the nobles would take care of themselves.
“Emperor doesn’t have to be smart. No matter how smart an emperor is, what he can do is limited. How would you do all the affairs of the country by yourself? It’s better to find a nobleman and leave it to him.”
“!!”
“The position of emperor is not a position to struggle alone.”
The way to deal with nobles was something I also learned from my father here.
Passing it on to his son made me feel strange again.
“I’ve seen Obama do it, but I completely forgot about it.”
“It’s embarrassing to see my father suddenly collapsed. You’ve done well enough.”
No one would know that he would feel burdened by suddenly having to take the place of the emperor.
Knowing that, the prince said he was proud of it.
“Once you entrust a task, there are people who do it well, and there are people who do it poorly. Those who do well have more complicated and difficult tasks, and those who can’t do it lower the difficulty level one level.”
“Do I have to entrust the job to someone who can’t do it?”
“I have to.”
“Why? Couldn’t we just find another good talent?”
“But there are many cases where people who can’t do that work usually have a full-fledged family.”
“!!”
The prince’s eyes widened as if he had attained a great realization.
“No matter how emperor he is, he can’t throw out a good family man without a justification. That’s not the case. It’s even more so when you consider what the family has done for the imperial family.”
My family has made such and such a feat for the imperial family, so imagine how the emperor could persecute the family for no reason and frown.
Are you doing it alone again?
He calls all his in-laws and his eight cousins together and uses them as a herd.
Just imagining it would make your head throb.
That’s why he can’t be thrown out because he can’t work.
“Even a person who can’t work has a place to use. And no matter how you look at it, if you have no place to use, put him in an important position.”
“Then isn’t it a big deal? Why use people who don’t have the ability?”
“No. Those without ability are bound to be greedy beyond their means.”
If you put him in an important position like that, there would be 100 accidents out of 100.
“Deliberately buy and run…?”
“That’s right. If you can’t use your spirit, you have to make a justification and get rid of it. Can you do anything?”
“Wow”
The prince listened very attentively to my words even though he couldn’t contain his astonishment.
All of these were the wisdom of life he had gained while going through all of the prenatal battles after becoming an emperor.
“This is how to deal with the nobles. Don’t try to fight them. If your pet does something wrong, train it and teach it. You shouldn’t try to fight a beast.”
“Yes, Obama.”
The prince’s eyes were bright.
He was cute and stroked his head.
By the way…
“I don’t know if the rumors are spreading.”
“Perhaps you want to poke it out of curiosity.”
“I guess so.”
As always, the one who gets impatient will be defeated, and the Geos Empire, which has a lot of boatmen, will stumble even over trivial decisions.
It is said that they are not on good terms in the first place, so there is usually a bloody atmosphere.
Don’t you know if you’re winning the war, but aren’t you still in a sluggish situation?
It was a level of bravery to keep fighting on the same side while criticizing each other.
And all of this was a situation that could be known because we were using a spy as well as the other side.
“The moment you overdo it, it will catch and eat them all.”
“Yes, Obama.”
I wonder if what I prepared to feed the Geos Empire and the temple will work…
I’m patiently waiting, but it didn’t seem like it would work.
Wasn’t it because of the balance that I was forced to watch it in the first place?
Had I made up my mind, I would have marched to their capital and decapitated Emperor Geos.
“How are you going to do the temple work?”
I heard that the crown prince threatened the priest to treat the escort knight in such a bad condition that he had to have his leg amputated.
He had already crossed the line, so there was no need to hesitate any longer.
From that day on, I sent patients to the priests who were held captive, and they treated me without saying anything.
With the final battle with the Geos Empire imminent, it was necessary to clear the relationship with the temple.
“The easiest way is to confirm who I am to the people of the temple who are being held captive.”
“At the very least, the absurd stigma of being a demonic contractor that was put on Obama must be removed.”
The temple, which was stigmatized as a demon contractor and nothing else, needed to reflect.
“I’ll give them a chance to prove themselves. Actually, I gave the priests I executed in the past a chance first. But they didn’t check until the end to see if they were scared.”
“It’s because you’re not sure about your faith.”
“The shaking itself that might not be the case was proof that their faith was not very good. Anyway, I’m thinking about asking the priests who are being held captive to try it once again.”
“Will knowing the truth change them?”
Like the priest who was executed?
Or will he be so sane that he admits the temple’s fault?
Even if it was forced, he was the one who healed our soldiers.
I didn’t intend to execute them, but rather, I was thinking about what it would be like to bring them to my side.
“I don’t know what the captive priests will look like when it becomes clear that they are not demon contractors. However, if they show a good figure based on common sense…”
“If you can see it…?”
“I’m thinking of splitting the temple into two.”
“Are you splitting in two?”
The reason why the temple was hostile to me was because I killed the priest, but the reason why I was a demon contractor was a more fundamental reason.
But the most fundamental reason is being denied.
Then your heart will be shaken, and if you pinch the corruption of the temple at that time…
“I hope he was at least one with a lust for power.”
It is not necessary to have a priest who simply changes his mind with a sense of justice.
If you are able to evaluate your current situation and calculate what will benefit you, wouldn’t you seriously consider my proposal?
It is to separate the corrupt priests and the non-corrupt priests according to one’s taste and create forces to fight.
The victor will rise to the temple’s new power level, and will be able to forge an alliance with the empire that won the war.
It was a plan that I was even more satisfied with because it was something that I could just watch with a smile no matter what decision they made.
