Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 397: Deceiving Emperor Qianwu

Emperor Qianwu resisted the urge to kill, stood up and said coldly: "Bring those two bastards to the palace!"

After he finished speaking, he walked away.

Queen Murong followed closely behind with a gloomy expression. Li Changfeng's mother-in-law and sister Li Mingzhu looked at each other with worry.

Gao Dali sighed secretly and asked a young eunuch to go and deliver the order.

Li Changfeng and Li Jianye knew nothing about it. Li Jianye walked onto the stage triumphantly, waved to everyone in the audience and accepted the cheers.

"Well done! Well done!"

"His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince's acting skills are truly unparalleled, he is so beautiful!"

"..."

Li Changfeng looked at the enthusiastic people in the capital with a smile on his face.

The star-making project seems to be progressing very smoothly so far.

At this moment, a young eunuch came to convey the order and asked them to go to the palace to see them. Li Jianye didn't even change his clothes, so he went to the palace with Li Changfeng.

When he came to the hall, Li Jianye didn't notice Emperor Qianwu's gloomy expression, and shouted triumphantly as soon as he entered the door.

"Father, mother, queen, son and minister, your acting is pretty good, right? Haha!"

Li Changfeng realized something was wrong and observed Emperor Qianwu's expression without saying anything.

Emperor Qianwu stood up and walked towards Li Jianye. While untying his belt, he said coldly: "Okay, very good!"

Li Changfeng slowly retreated.

"Haha, Father, you think it's good too..."

Li Jianye was still boasting, but halfway through he realized something was wrong. He backed away and said in confusion: "Hey, father, why did you take off your belt? Did I make any mistake?"

"Don't you know?!"

As he spoke, he stepped closer and pulled his belt with a snap.

"I asked you to play monkey!"

"You are the one who has disgraced the royal family!"

"Calling you to disgrace me!"

"Damn things!"

"..."

Emperor Qianwu would slap him hard every time he cursed. The more he cursed, the angrier he became and the harder he was slapped.

Li Jianye ran away crying and howling, and Emperor Qianwu chased him. For a while, the hall was in a state of chaos.

Li Changfeng had long been hiding in a corner, looking at Li Jianye apologetically, feeling helpless.

One thing he ignored was that Emperor Qianwu was a very traditional person who paid great attention to the royal family's face and believed that the actors who performed on stage were inferior to others.

That's all. The key is that Li Jianye plays a monkey.

Where does this put Emperor Qianwu's face?
People in this world are not obsessed with the character of Monkey King.

Soon, Li Jianye was beaten so hard that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Emperor Qianwu walked towards Li Changfeng with his belt in hand.

Li Changfeng became anxious and asked loudly as he backed away: "Father, what are you doing?!" Emperor Qianwu laughed angrily: "What are you doing? Is this the surprise you gave me? Is it a shock? You asked Jianye to play a monkey. , Where should I put my face?!"

How could Li Changfeng be beaten as obediently as Li Jianye? He quickly said: "Father, my son is disobedient. Jianye acted as an unparalleled hero. This story is also a satire on the immortal sect. Why do you say it is embarrassing?"

Li Jianye wiped the blood from his forehead and said quickly: "That's right, Father, you didn't even ask what the story was, so you just beat people up, and I won't accept it!"

Emperor Qianwu smiled coldly: "Then tell me why you are an unparalleled hero and why you are making fun of the Immortal Sect?"

Li Changfeng had to patiently explain the general story he had adapted.

"The Monkey King, Monkey King, is going to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and then go to the West to obtain the scriptures. Along the way, he will encounter monsters from all walks of life. These monsters are all members of the Immortal Sect who have done many evil things..."

There are too many different interpretations of Journey to the West in previous lives, and the most popular one is its ironic meaning. Li Changfeng has heard and read many of it.

Without even thinking, Li Changfeng could speak clearly and concisely with profound meanings, and Emperor Qianwu's expression gradually became better.

After talking about the irony, Li Changfeng continued: "Daqian in the story is different. It is a beautiful country where the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The emperor of Daqian was deeply loved by his people for his civil and military skills..."

Li Changfeng fooled again, Emperor Qianwu looked better and better, and even Queen Murong's face was no longer so ugly.

But Emperor Wu still had a grudge about playing a monkey, and said coldly: "Then you can't let Jianye play a monkey. If he is a monkey, who am I?"

Li Changfeng said: "Father, does this mean you don't understand art? Think about it, what will the people think when they find that the people in the Immortal Sect are not even as good as a monkey?"

Having said this, Li Changfeng paused and said meaningfully: "Father, people from the Immortal Sect have appeared in the capital one after another and have gradually become known to the world. Shouldn't we do something? In the story, Emperor Daqian is based on your It’s a prototype design, doesn’t the father still understand the painstaking efforts of his son?”

The smarter the person, the easier it is for them to make up their minds based on the information revealed in the person's words. At this time, Emperor Qianwu began to make up his mind crazily.

Just as Li Changfeng said, people from the Immortal Sect appear one after another and have become known to the world, and everyone knows their extraordinary abilities.

If Li Changfeng hadn't come up with such a shocking thing, I'm afraid the people's hearts would be directed towards the Immortal Sect and they would worship the Immortal Sect.

If that happens, as the emperor of a country, what prestige will he have in the hearts of his people?

The Daqian royal family did not dare to do anything directly to the Immortal Sect, but it could greatly reduce the Immortal Sect's prestige in people's hearts through this method. It must be said that it was a good way to kill the Immortal Sect without losing any blood.

Li Changfeng had a long-term plan, and he really had good intentions when he came up with this method.

Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed a good idea, but it makes things difficult for you."

Seeing that the deception was successful, Li Changfeng struck while the iron was hot and said: "Father, I suggest that you come and act in person. This way, the effect will be better and the psychological shock to the people will be greater."

Emperor Qianwu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, how can this be done? How can I act in such a humble industry as an actor?"

Li Changfeng said sternly: "Father, this is not that kind of song and dance performance, this is art! Do you know art? Art is elegant and contains profound thoughts. How can it be humble?..."

Li Changfeng deceived him for a while, but finally changed Emperor Qianwu's mind and reluctantly agreed.

Of course, the most important reason was that Emperor Qianwu wanted his image as a wise king to spread among the people through drama and become an existence recorded in history.

Li Changfeng originally took this into consideration when he used "Da Qian Journey to the West" as his name.

After all, what emperor doesn't want to be remembered for eternity?
However, Emperor Qianwu also expressed his worries: "If the Immortal Sect sees it, will it annoy them?"

Li Changfeng laughed and said: "How can they care about this when they are overlooking all living beings? Besides, this is a story about going to the Immortal Sect to obtain the true scriptures. Is it ironic? It doesn't exist! If anyone thinks so, it is because they are over-interpreting it. What's wrong with us?"

Emperor Qianwu thought for a while and smiled.

"well said."
