Chapter 391 Politics is a game of compromise!
"Sword Emperor, you are a member of our Renaissance Society. I am giving you this face." Murong Fu said.
"Fuxing Society?" The emperor was surprised.
What organization is this?
Although Youruo had just said it, the emperor only remembered the exaggerated adjectives "invincible, victorious in every battle, handsome and elegant, and graceful", and did not delve into what kind of organizations the Soushen Palace and the Fuxing Society were.
Now that he heard that his uncle, the Sword Emperor, was a member of the Renaissance Society, the Emperor began to take it seriously.
"The Renaissance Association, as the name suggests, is an association for the revival of China. China was originally the Celestial Empire. China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; it has beautiful clothes, so it is called Hua." Murong Fu said seriously, "Now China is declining. Not only is there chaos in the country, the people are living in poverty, but also the etiquette and clothes have been lost. Everyone wears strange clothes and does not respect etiquette. This is Huhua! Therefore, our Renaissance Association is to defend the country and resist aggression externally, and internally, it is to restore China. In a word: Make China great again!"
At this moment, Murong Fu seemed to be possessed by the Divine Emperor.
And he really didn't like the customs of the Fengyun world.
The China in the Fengyun world has mutated so much that everyone wears strange clothes and has weird hairstyles. Some are non-mainstream Shamatte, some have flat heads like people in the future, and their clothes are neither similar nor weird. The aesthetics are really bad.
Murong Fu is definitely going to promote Hanfu, reshape Chinese clothing, and return to its original roots.
This way, he would also feel good about it.
"What? Who are the people in your Renaissance Society?" The emperor was furious, but chose to be patient.
Reviving China is his job. Whether he does it well or not is another matter. But Murong Fu actually dared to interfere in his duties. This is a capital crime!
"The Renaissance will have me, Wuming, Dugu Sword Saint, Sword Emperor, and the First Evil Emperor." Murong Fu rattled off a string of names. "Why, do you have any objections?"
The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "I have no objection."
The Renaissance Society was no longer a threat to the imperial court. In fact, it had already gathered the world's top experts and was riding on the imperial court's head, so the emperor did not dare to object.
The Sword Emperor said: "Since you, nephew, have no objection, I, your uncle, will speak a fair word."
At this point, the emperor could only humiliate himself and say, "Uncle, please speak."
The emperor also knows who has the bigger fist.
Jue Wushen, who tried to capture him, was beaten away by Murong Fu.
And let alone Murong Fu, he had dealt with Wuming before. Even though he had thousands of troops, they were nothing but chickens and dogs in front of the martial arts legend.
The emperor could only endure it for now.
What is the most important thing when being an emperor?
It's patience!
"Emperor, you didn't do a very good job. I also visited the people and found that the people were suffering, martial arts masters were rampant, and there were bandits everywhere. It was like a chaotic world." The Sword Emperor said, "And you did even worse when facing the invasion of Japanese pirates. The Japanese had spies everywhere in our China, and they were well-informed. They even bribed the people around you and captured you. But you knew nothing about Japan, and you were completely unprepared. You relied entirely on luck. Ask yourself, did you do a good job?"
The emperor was speechless and ashamed. After a moment, he said helplessly: "Everyone is guilty, and the fault lies with me."
"It is precisely because you are not doing a good job that the heavens sent down a hero like President Murong to help the country and revive China." The Sword Emperor knew Murong Fu's strength too well. Even if the royal family used all their hidden trump cards, and even Emperor Wenlong invited the top ten warriors, it would be like an egg hitting a stone when facing Murong Fu. Therefore, the Sword Emperor gave the royal family a decent way out. "This time, Jue Wushen fled in panic, which is a clear proof! If President Murong had not acted in time, Jue Wushen would have been rampant. If you fell into Jue Wushen's hands, you would be at his mercy. This would be a catastrophe for Shenzhou! The reason for this is that there is no one in Shenzhou who protects the country, so I think President Murong is the one who protects the country!"
"Nephew, don't even think about going against President Murong. He is so powerful that he can destroy a city. You've heard of Love in a Fallen City, right? It's the killer move of Guan Yu, the Martial Saint in the Three Kingdoms era. One move can destroy a city. Such power is in the hands of President Murong. What's the point of sending thousands of troops?" The Sword Emperor was more or less loyal to the royal family, so he revealed an important information to the emperor to prevent him from making a mistake.
"Love in a Fallen City? Is this real?" The emperor was horrified.
Guan Yu's move of falling in love with the city has been studied by all dynasties, including the current dynasty.
They did excavate the ruins of the city destroyed by Guan Yu, proving that the historical Guan Yu did have weapons of mass destruction.
But Love in a Fallen City was like a legend. Even though people were sent to Wushuang City to investigate in every dynasty, nothing was found and everyone thought it was just a legend.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Sword Emperor said, "If this move is fully performed, it will indeed have the power to overthrow a city!"
The emperor was silent.
They have nuclear weapons, what the hell is he doing?
"President Murong, who possesses such power, is a great hero and great hero who is dedicated to the people." Sword Emperor said, "So, nephew, your uncle hopes that you can, in the name of the court, confer upon President Murong the title of Duke of Protector of China, with a status equal to that of the emperor, and let him protect China. The ancients said, 'Duke Zhou spits out food to feed his guests, and the world comes to his side.' How is the merit of President Murong different from that of Duke Zhou Yi Yin?"
Murong Fu understood that although the Sword Emperor seemed to have asked the court to confer on him a status similar to that of Sun Wukong, which made him a celestial being, accepting the title meant that he recognized the rule of the Jade Emperor. If he rebelled again, it would be unjustifiable.
So when Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, everyone came to oppose him.
If Murong Fu accepted the title of Duke of Protectorate, his status would be equal to that of the emperor, but it would also mean that he would not have the confidence to rebel again.
It would not be justified.
But Murong Fu didn't care. He was tired of being the emperor and had no intention of becoming the emperor this time. What he wanted was the real power to shape China. The emperor was just a title.
Power will only gather around the person who holds it, and eventually sanctify that person's position. If Bimawen holds real power in heaven, over time, Bimawen will replace the Jade Emperor and become the nickname of the supreme ruler of heaven.
The emperor had been well-read since childhood and understood the Sword Emperor's hint.
Duke Zhou and Yi Yin were certainly wise ministers whose names were recorded in history, but they both did one thing, which was to abolish the monarch. Although history books say that they returned power to the monarch, no monarch would want a Duke Zhou or Yi Yin to appear in his dynasty.
The Sword Emperor used Yi Yin and Zhou Gong to compare Murong Fu to tell the emperor that Murong Fu had the ability to depose the emperor.
The emperor must learn to coexist with Murong Fu. It is an unrealistic delusion to eliminate Murong Fu.
The current Emperor Wuchang was not a wise and powerful emperor, but he was still a clear-headed emperor. He instantly understood the Sword Emperor's subtext. He sighed and said, "President Murong intends to revive China and has made great contributions to the country. He should indeed be honored as the Duke of Protectorate of China, with the same status as me! I am willing to make peace with Lord Murong!"
Politics is a game of compromise. Faced with the powerful Murong Fu, the emperor had no choice but to compromise.
