Chapter 386: I feel that her analysis is really thorough and it really touches his heart

Liu Xiaowu: “…”

Oh my! My Doctor Du, you are so bold to say that. Aren’t you afraid that the emperor will chop off your head in a rage?

"Why? Why do you think so?"

The first time I heard someone say that being an emperor was just a job, I felt very fresh. Then I heard that being an emperor was the hardest job, which was even more fresh. I had to ask for clarification.

I really want to hear why Dr. Du has such a strange idea, and how she knows that the emperor's job is the most difficult.

"If what I said was not good, you can't punish me. That's what I said to my uncle, and my uncle praised me for being right."

This sentence is very powerful. If Du Wanwan said it and the emperor disagreed and punished her, it would be a disguised admission that her views were not as good as those of the King of Dongchen.

Therefore, no matter what Du Wanwan said, the emperor could not punish her.

"Okay, tell me what you think. I won't punish you."

Liu Xiaowu looked at the emperor in surprise, feeling that he had heard it wrong. Is this still the majestic emperor in the palace?

Normally, ministers would think about what they were saying several times before speaking to him. Why did he lose all his authority when it came to Doctor Du? When did he become so easy to talk to?

Du Wanwan: “…”

How do you know that I haven't thought about what I said several times? Isn't this just life?

Glancing at the emperor nonchalantly, Du Wanwan said casually: “The emperor is a powerful profession that is considered to have power and wealth, but in fact, it also comes with many challenges and difficulties.

Why is being an emperor the most difficult job? Let's analyze it systematically.

The first reason is the great pressure. As an emperor, he must bear enormous responsibility and pressure.

Many important decisions need to be made, including those on war, diplomacy, politics, and economic development.

These decisions can have a profound impact on your country and its people, so you need to make the right choices. There can be no deviation, otherwise it will be a thankless task.”

After listening to this, the emperor was thoughtful, thinking that he had really done such a thankless job. Don't mention it, Doctor Du's analysis was quite accurate.

Liu Xiaowu seemed to understand what he said. His daily job was to take care of the emperor's food and daily life, and other things seemed to have little to do with him.

Compared with the emperor's, his profession is much simpler and purer.

Then, Du Wanwan talked about it: "The second point is that the competition is fierce. In the royal family, it is not just one person who competes for the emperor's job, but dozens of people compete together, which is very fierce.

You need to compete with other princes and princesses to gain higher status and power.

This competition may lead to sharp internal conflicts, so you need to stay alert and take appropriate actions to protect yourself.

Otherwise, it is easy to be pulled down or even poisoned to death. This kind of thing is not uncommon in all dynasties. Even wives and sons may turn around and bite hard to achieve their competitive purpose. "

The emperor was shocked, and felt that Doctor Du really knew the secrets of the royal family. It was said that the emperor of Dongchen Kingdom had gone through a period of hiding his strength and biding his time before he regained his own political power.

In this sense, he is the winner of the competition.

“The third point is rules and etiquette. As an emperor, you need to abide by many rules and etiquette to maintain your authority and dignity.

These rules and etiquette may restrict your freedom and actions, making you feel very constrained, helpless and annoyed.

Even so, you have to endure it silently and not show any dissatisfaction, otherwise you will be an unqualified monarch. "

Hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in the emperor's eyes. He felt that this princess who protected the country of Dongchen Kingdom was indeed very knowledgeable and had unique insights.

Some of the royal customs were not worthy of praise, but they were the rules passed down by the ancestors and had to be followed. If he made the slightest mistake, the old uncle in the clan would jump out and find fault with him.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not bored, but there is no other way but to follow the ancestral rules.

Seeing that the emperor gradually agreed with her words, Du Wanwan continued: "The fourth point is political struggle. In the political struggle, the emperor needs to face many challenges.

Negotiations with other politicians and officials will be needed to gain support for your policies and plans. These struggles may be intense and may have implications for your power and status.

But you have no choice but to persevere, because you are the emperor. In order not to be controlled by some aristocratic families and not to be a puppet emperor, political struggle is inevitable.

The fifth point is the expectations of the people. As an emperor, you need to meet the expectations and demands of the people.

You need to demonstrate noble qualities and leadership skills to gain the respect and trust of the people.

In short, being an emperor is a challenging and stressful job. Although it has power and wealth, it also requires a lot of responsibilities and obligations.

She gets up earlier than the chickens, sleeps later than the dogs, and even has to sell her body when necessary. The harem is equally shared by all the concubines, which is not just empty talk, but hard work that needs to be done.

Even if he is unwilling, sometimes he has to deal with women he doesn't want to deal with in order to balance the former dynasty and the harem.

Even if you know that their coquettish voices make you sick, you have to pretend that you didn't hear or see them. That's why being an emperor is the most difficult job, bar none."

After listening to Du Wanwan's words, the emperor fell into deep thought. He felt that her analysis was really thorough and touched his heart.

I remember that in the first few years after he ascended the throne, in order to balance the stability of the previous dynasty and the harem, he did favor several women he didn't like. Even if he was unwilling, he had to sit in the palace of those women.

He had no choice but to go. Memorials from ministers came to him like snowflakes, always forcing him to give birth to a prince on the grounds that the empress had no children.

The queen had given birth to two princesses before. At that time, he was obsessed with Wei Hanyi and had no intention of favoring any other woman. Apart from the queen, who he had to visit on the first and fifteenth day of every month, he didn't want to touch any other woman.

He had no choice but to go to the harem, and then he tried to make those women infertile for life. Those were not the children he wanted to have, and he didn't want them, lest he would see them and remember how he was forced.

Later, he gradually gained power and found excuses to lock up all the women who humiliated him in the cold palace, so that he could turn a blind eye to them.

The queen gave birth to Jing'er, and in order to silence Youyou's mouth, she made him the crown prince when he was one month old. After that, no one forced him to go to the room of a woman he didn't like. He doted on the prince of Qi wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect to dote on a bastard.

This matter has been a thorn in his throat, as if he had swallowed a green-headed fly. If he wants to defeat the northern country, he must beat them until they kneel down and beg for mercy.

Then he asked the Khan of the Northern Kingdom to send Wei Hanyi to him. He wanted to ask her face to face why she was so cold-blooded and why she plotted against him.

He gave away everything except what he had to give, and now he has become a joke.

He was unwilling to give up, he had to ask for a clear answer, and then he would kill Wei Hanyi himself. That was what she owed him, he should ask for it back.
