Chapter 130 The Emperor Was PUA
"And then?" Liu Zhiyuan didn't care.
"I am the high and mighty Emperor, the ruler of a nation. If anyone else dared to touch me, they would have been beheaded. Although I dote on you and won't do anything to you, you must not take advantage of my favor and become arrogant."
Damn, why does it feel like these words don’t have any momentum at all!
Is he really going to become a henpecked husband?
Liu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you saying I'm the same as everyone else? I thought you were serious when you said you liked me, but I didn't expect it was all a lie."
"No! Everything I said is true!" Xiao Yu panicked. This was a huge misunderstanding!
"How can you be the same as others? No one has ever dared to hit me."
"So you mean I can fight?"
Xiao Yu choked. How could he answer this?
If she said yes, then she could beat me whenever she wanted in the future. After all, she is the king of a country, so she has no dignity at all.
"No, I can't. I am the emperor..."
Liu Zhiyuan interrupted him, her face full of sadness, "Sure enough, I'm the same as everyone else."
"It's different." Xiao Yu was anxious.
He felt like he had fallen into Liu Zhiyuan's vicious circle, but he had no experience in coaxing women, so he could only follow her ideas.
"How is it different? If others can't hit me, I can't hit them either. Isn't that the same? Men's words are deceitful. If men's words could be believed, even a sow could climb a tree."
"My beloved, that's not what I meant..."
"You kept saying you're the emperor, and you emphasized it so many times. You were trying to tell me that you're the monarch and I'm the subject. We're a monarch-subject relationship, not a husband-wife relationship. So I have to kneel and kowtow to you like a monarch, not like a husband and wife, right? Then why did you kiss me? How can a monarch kiss his subjects? Why is my life so miserable?"
Xiao Yu was overwhelmed.
Her barrage of twisted logic made him dizzy and dazed. He didn't remember anything except that Liu Zhiyuan said they were not husband and wife.
Doesn't that mean I have to cut off all ties with him?
Absolutely not!
"Why is my life so miserable? Since your love for me is fake, just let me out of the palace, just like the other concubines."
"You can fight." Xiao Yu said quickly, "My beloved, you are different from others. You can hit me. You can hit me whenever you want, as much as you want!"
Although he couldn't follow her train of thought, nor could he understand how she brought up a whole bunch of issues about the ways of ruler and subject, and the ways of husband and wife, he just wanted to know where the source of the matter was.
Isn't it just to prove that in his heart she is different from others? Just hit her as you like.
Others can't even touch a hair on his head, but she can hit him as she pleases. Isn't that special?
Liu Zhiyuan was satisfied and put away all his unreasonable expressions.
He spoke in a teachable tone, "That's right. We are husband and wife. In each other's hearts, we are different from others."
Yan Ruyu was right. It was better to strike first and tame Xiao Yu before she could take control of the initiative.
Young man, let me show you the power of the classic PUA tactics of a scumbag in the 21st century.
Xiao Yu keenly caught the word "each other".
His eyes brightened a little, "Am I also different in my beloved concubine's heart?"
"Of course, I only hit you and not others. Aren't you special enough in my heart?"
The Queen Mother VS Aunt Jia: "..."
What's the matter? We are not human beings, right?
The beatings I received during those years were ultimately wrong, right?
Xiao Yu was choked by her shamelessness and gritted his teeth, "Thank you so much, my beloved concubine, for being so special to me!"
"You're welcome, Your Majesty, don't feel wronged. Beating is love, scolding is affection. I beat you to show my love..."
Hey, this doesn’t seem right. I’ve confused myself.
Just as he was about to change the subject, Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "In other words, my beloved concubine loves me!"
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
In this case, you don't need to react so quickly.
I really want to retort that you are dreaming.
However, facing Xiao Yu's eyes full of expectation, her heart tightened for a moment, and she couldn't say the words that were on her lips.
She lay down directly with her back to Xiao Yu, "Go to sleep, I'm sleepy."
Xiao Yu was in a very good mood.
Liu Zhiyuan did not refute her love for him, which means that she has already accepted him in her heart.
Very good, a huge improvement. Tomorrow I will talk to a few ministers who have loving spouses and see how I can please my wife.
The next day, Xiao Yu left the court and asked someone to make a copy of "The Art of War" and send it to the General Zhennan as soon as possible.
Then he summoned several ministers whose couples were very affectionate and discussed the matter in the Yangxin Palace for two full hours, but no one knew what they were discussing.
On the other side, Liu Zhiyuan locked himself in a side hall after breakfast, and asked someone to find Yan Ruyu and ask her to find a way to notify Zhou Kang to come over.
As soon as Zhou Kang stepped into the side hall, he smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.
He asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"
"Can't you see? I'm making guns and cannons."
Zhou Kang looked at the cannon blueprints scattered on the ground, his face twisted. "I see. Why did you make these?"
"We bombed the Chen family's nest."
"Chen Hongyu's Northwest Army?"
"good."
"Ahem." Zhou Kang looked a little unnatural. Well, in the original book, the Northwest Army was actually his base.
The Northwest Army was finally incorporated by the male protagonist. It was because the male protagonist had 600,000 Northwest Army in his hands that he was able to overthrow the Dayong Dynasty in one fell swoop.
It’s a pity that he is timid and doesn’t dare.
"Why do you want to fight against the Northwestern Army?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Liu Zhiyuan's eyes. "Prime Minister Chen killed my parents. I want their lives!"
"And I think Xiao Yu is doing a good job as the emperor. If he can eradicate the cancer of the Chen family and take full control of the government, he will definitely do even better in the future."
Zhou Kang understood, oh, it turned out to be for men.
"What's that expression on your face?"
Zhou Kang quickly shook his head, "No, I don't have any expression."
"How can you have no expression? You clearly have a clear and stupid expression."
Zhou Kang, “…”
Okay, I get it. You don't have to beat around the bush and call me a naive and stupid college student.
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at him and began to brainwash him, "And I'm doing this to help you."
"Help me?" Zhou Kang looked puzzled.
"Of course. In the original novel, you defeated the Chen family, and in the end, Dayong was governed by you. If you can defeat the Chen family, can you govern a country well?"
Zhou Kang shook his head vigorously.
He couldn't do it, absolutely not. He could only take care of his own small family, but if he managed a country, it would kill him. He couldn't even understand the classical Chinese written in the memorials...
"So, now I help you defeat the Chen family, and in the future Xiao Yu will help you manage Dayong. If that's not helping you, then what is it?"
It seems to make sense.
But something didn't feel right.
Zhou Kang seemed to be lost in thought.
"Okay, these were originally your jobs. I'm just helping you. Come over and get to work."
"Oh oh, here I come, what am I going to do."
"Can you make gunpowder?" Liu Zhiyuan asked.
Zhou Kang shook his head, "No."
"Can you draw a blueprint of a cannon?"
"Won't."
"Can you draw blueprints of guns?"
"Won't."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
