I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 542 Is there anyone who doesn't want to be emperor?

As long as you are willing, you can be the emperor immediately, and you can be the emperor justifiably.

I am afraid that there are very few people in the world who can resist such a temptation.

But Ning Wenjun was very calm at this time.

On the one hand, he was originally the prince, and since Ning Wenyu's death, he has no rivals.

So as long as Ning Yongnian doesn't regenerate, or the son he gives birth to is not much stronger than him, then he will succeed in succeeding with a high probability.

Of course, what Wei Xianzhi said about "succession" was pretty good.

After breaking through second rank, Ning Yongnian really lived too "long".

Even if you can't live for fifty years, it's easy to live another thirty or forty years.

And what about myself at that time?

Seventy or eighty years old to succeed to the throne as emperor?

You know, this is still an optimistic situation.

If he was more pessimistic, he might not survive Ning Yongnian.

From this point of view, it seems that Ning Wenjun really has no reason to reject Wei Xianzhi.

But he also understood another thing very well.

yes.

If you don't usurp the throne, you may not be the emperor for a few days.

but.

If he usurped the throne, he might not be the emperor for a few days.

There is no doubt that Ning Wenjun is not an idiot.

In fact, he is still very clear about the situation of own after usurping the throne.

First of all, once he agreed to Wei Xianzhi and successfully ascended the throne with the support of the Wei family, it would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Ning Yongnian.

In this regard, Ning Wenjun has inherited part of Ning Yongnian's personality.

In front of the "emperor's throne", it's not a problem for him to be fettered by family affection.

What he was worried about was whether he could beat Ning Yongnian after he ascended the throne.

In other words, Ning Wenjun is still not sure who will have the last laugh between the Wei family and Ning Yongnian.

If Ning Yongnian wins in the end, then the own "emperor" has undoubtedly come to an end, and his life must have come to an end.

And if the Wei family wins, the life of own will still not be easy.

At that time, the Wei family will no longer need a puppet like me to contain Ning Yongnian, and there is a high probability that they will kick him away, and then support Ning Yuke to take the position, or simply "go into battle in person."

Unless you can win over a large enough force before that.

It's just that it's not easy.

Take the current court as an example, there are more than a hundred court officials, but there are only five or six people who are loyal to their own. It is difficult to imagine the difficulty of snatching "incense" from the mouths of the two "big Buddhas" of Ning Yongnian and the Wei family.

so.

Ning Yongnian wins, he dies.

The Wei family wins, and the best result for him is to be a puppet for the rest of his life.

From this point of view, no matter how the situation develops, it seems that I will not end well.

So the most correct course of action now is definitely to continue to wait and see what happens.

Ning Wenjun quickly figured it out, and realized that he should actually reject Wei Xianzhi right now.

But he also understood that since the Wei family had reached this point, they would definitely not give him the option of refusing.

"."

"Lord Wei"

Unknowingly, Ning Wenjun has changed the name of Wei Xianzhi.

He shook his head lightly, and asked extremely difficultly:

"If I don't agree, will you kill me?"

"meeting."

Wei Xianzhi did not hesitate: "Your Highness, you should know that the Emperor doesn't care about your life or death."

"Since you can't help our Wei family to gain benefits no matter whether you live or die, then there is no need for me to save your life."

"."

"Master Wei, you don't need to be so clear."

The bitterness on his face was even worse, Ning Wenjun asked again: "Then what if I help the Wei family win?"

"What are you going to do to me?"

"Your Highness, just rest assured."

Wei Xianzhi smiled: "I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as His Highness keeps his own place, his life will be safe."

"And if His Highness is able to govern the country well then, presumably he should also be able to secure the throne."

Stay safe and keep your life safe.

Govern the country well and secure the throne.

Wei Xianzhi's words were euphemistic, but Guoning Wenjun couldn't be more clear about who is in charge and who is in charge.

From prince to puppet emperor.

Ning Wenjun's current mood is extremely complicated, and he doesn't know whether he should be sad or sober.

He remained silent for another long while, and then asked one last question.

"Master Wei, you should know that even if I agree to you now, if the world refuses to accept it, nothing will change."

"Excuse me, I can't figure out how you can make the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty nod, let alone how you can make all the states in the world willingly recognize me as the new emperor."

"If the Wei family can really do all this, wouldn't it be easier for Ning Yuke to be the emperor, so why bother with me?"

"."

"Your Highness, this is not something you should worry about."

Shaking his head, Wei Xianzhi didn't explain even half a sentence.

It really wasn't that he was pretending to be mysterious, or that he didn't think it was necessary to tell Ning Wenjun about such things.

It's that even he doesn't really know the answer to that question.

[As long as Ning Wenjun agrees to usurp the throne, someone will take care of the rest of the matter]

These are the original words in the message sent back by Wei Changtian.

Obviously, Wei Changtian must still have power that he doesn't know about, and he can even use it to influence the entire court situation.

And this power is hidden very deeply, so deep that even I, the commander of the Xuanjing Division, have not noticed it.

Shaking his head, Wei Xianzhi didn't continue to think about it.

Anyway, if there are no accidents, it won't take long for this power to surface.

Soon, the attention was once again on Ning Wenjun.

"Your Highness, do you have any questions?"

"."

"there is none left."

Sighing lightly, Ning Wenjun smiled wryly, "Since you die if you don't agree, what can I do?"

"So His Highness agrees?"

"Well, I agree."

"."

Life is unsatisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spread out boats.

This poem written by Li Bai in the previous life is full of endless sense of powerlessness to one's own destiny.

But in fact, the most helpless thing in life is not "distributing and making boats", but not even having the option of "making boats".

Just like Ning Wenjun at this time.

If he could choose, then he designated that he would continue to be his prince.

But it is a pity that he can't choose. So he can only be the emperor.

The light of the lantern in the corner was dim, but the sound of shaking sleeves was very clear.

In Ning Wenjun's surprised eyes, Wei Xianzhi suddenly shook his sleeves solemnly, and then bowed to the former quite seriously.

Clasp your hands together in front of your chest, with your right hand clenched inside and your left hand outside.

This is a very standard auspicious salute, and besides kneeling, it is the most commonly used salute by courtiers when facing the Holy Spirit.

"Your Highness, no, Your Majesty"

"In this case, I would like to congratulate you on your upcoming ascension to the throne."

"."

His Majesty.

Seeing Wei Xianzhi's movements and hearing this title he had dreamed of hearing, Ning Wenjun was stunned for a moment.

He opened his mouth slightly, and at this moment, there was an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

However, in the next second, when he came back to his senses and saw Wei Xianzhi's incomparably calm eyes, he suddenly woke up from the dream, and the cold sweat soaked the clothes on his back in an instant.

"Master Wei, thank you for reminding me."
