"On the contrary, he is very capable. Otherwise, Marshal Su would not have stepped aside to pave the way for his son." Mu Chen's eyes were full of admiration when he said this.
However, there was still a hint of appreciativeness in those eyes: "Of course, their ambitions are also considerable."
"However, they probably forgot how their Su family rose to power."
Mu Chen knew that the character card Mingmei had wouldn't contain so much detailed information, so he continued to explain the pros and cons to Mingmei.
"The Su family originally came from humble beginnings and rose to prominence through their military achievements, which was inseparable from my support." Mu Chen is now playing the role of Emperor Jing'an, and his "朕" (zhen) naturally refers to the emperor.
"Are you supporting poor families in order to undermine the aristocratic families?"
Mingmei quickly understood Emperor Jing'an's meaning. She also remembered that in "The Assassin," Hua Liang was beset by internal and external troubles, ascended the throne at a young age, had difficulty consolidating power in the court, and was also embroiled in factional strife.
Therefore, Emperor Jing'an's governance over the years has always been about leveraging existing forces to fight against established nobles and powerful families.
"Yes, the Su family has always been the sharpest knife in the hands of those in power, but now, the knife is becoming somewhat unwieldy..."
Mu Chen smiled, stopping there and saying no more.
Mingmei quietly turned her head away; she was still a little thirsty after eating so many snacks.
"The Su family supports Prince Qing."
"Ah, so...you don't think highly of Prince Qing?" Mingmei cautiously probed the impressions of the male players, who were playing the role of the heirs, in Mu Chen's mind, or rather, in Emperor Jing'an's mind.
"I don't really have a good or bad opinion about it. Most of the ministers in the court have their own support for the prince. Sigh~ Do I look like I'm going to die young?"
Mingmei looked at Mu Chen seriously. To be honest, Mu Chen's complexion was already somewhat unhealthy and pale, which was even more obvious in the game.
"fine."
“That makes sense. If I’m busy like a corporate slave every day, I’ll die of exhaustion sooner or later. It would be best to find a successor and step down as soon as possible.” At this point, Mu Chen suddenly laughed. “I’ve heard Mr. Ruan Xun mention a very fast way to complete this game before.”
Seeing Mu Chen smile, Mingmei looked over and felt a connection to his smile, as if she were seeing her uncle.
"Mr. Ruan said it's similar to 'The Duke's Legacy'. After figuring out the strategy at the beginning, you just need to kill all the other heirs before the other players can react."
Bright, beady eyes.
What is her uncle doing every day, corrupting the "children" or what?
"Wouldn't that leave a handle for us to use against us?"
"Just don't keep them~ Besides, even if they stay, it'll just be me left. According to the rules of the game, Emperor Jing'an has to choose one of them, right?"
Mingmei: "..." Mingmei couldn't refute it; it seemed to make a lot of sense.
Unaware of Mingmei's speechless expression, Mu Chen continued, "That's why I think these players aren't very smart. It's been so long, and they either haven't made any moves at all, or they're full of openings. It's really frustrating~ It's like they want me to pretend to be blind."
Mingmei: "..."
The way you're playing the NPC makes things difficult for players, doesn't it?
