The Favored Little Peasant Seizes the Heroine's Script!-Chapter 549 - 479: Taking Control of Your Own Fate

Chapter 549: Chapter 479: Taking Control of Your Own Fate

"Then it’s a deal!"

Yuan Bao saw her little uncle step into the trap and instantly settled the matter.

An emperor who makes all the decisions himself is naturally exhausted. But if there’s a constitutional monarchy, the emperor becomes a symbol, and most matters are handled by others, thus freeing the emperor.

Of course, implementing a constitutional monarchy is easier for Yuan Bao to gain the people’s faith and collect more Incense Fire Wishing Power.

"Fifth brother, I feel like you might lose!"

After Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang left, Ruan Wan turned to the still pondering Yuan Yindi and spoke softly.

"Why do you say that?"

Yuan Yindi looked at Ruan Wan, surprised, "Has there ever been an emperor throughout history who wasn’t tired?"

"Unless they’re a dimwitted ruler!"

"But clearly, Jiaojiao won’t let me be a foolish emperor!"

"So, tell me, if I become emperor, how could I not be tired?"

Yuan Yindi was well-read and knowledgeable in history, and to him, anyone aspiring to be a good emperor has to work themselves to exhaustion.

Otherwise, the people below would treat the emperor like a fool.

"I don’t know what Jiaojiao has in mind, but from childhood to adulthood, is there anything she set out to do and didn’t accomplish?"

"If she wasn’t entirely confident, do you think she’d make a bet with you?"

Ruan Wan had always been like a sister to Yuan Bao.

After Yuan Shouqian and Yuan Shousun were born, it was Yuan Bao who helped Ruan Wan with the children.

Speaking of understanding Yuan Bao, Ruan Wan didn’t claim deep insight, but she was certain of one thing: everything Yuan Bao aimed to do, she had managed to accomplish.

In her knowledge, there was nothing Yuan Bao wanted to do that she didn’t achieve.

"True, that girl is crafty; I might actually lose this."

Yuan Yindi really hadn’t thought about becoming emperor.

Others might aspire to be the supreme ruler, but Yuan Yindi hadn’t considered it.

Moreover, this ruler of the world was just an emperor in a small dry well, and above the emperor was the presence of the Protector.

In the past, the Protector rarely interfered, but now, they wanted to unify the world, then spread power across the lands, seeking good talents, making them superior to royal authority.

Such an emperor, is there any difference from being a puppet?

Thinking of such a situation, Yuan Yindi felt that Yuan Bao had tricked him.

"Fifth brother, I think you’ve wrongly accused Jiaojiao!"

Ruan Wan looked at Yuan Yindi, saying, "Jiaojiao wants you to be emperor for her reasons, and she definitely won’t let you be a puppet!"

"Are you saying Jiaojiao can keep those three Protectors from meddling in politics?"

"Absolutely!"

Ruan Wan was very certain, saying, "Besides, if Jiaojiao wasn’t fully confident, on what basis would she make you, fifth brother, the world’s ruler?"

"So, I think you should think carefully about what you want to do when you become emperor!"

"What to do?"

"I won’t do anything!"

Yuan Yindi rolled his eyes, "We live so comfortably now, and that brat suddenly wants me to be a hardworking emperor. You say, wouldn’t her conscience hurt?"

"I bet Jiaojiao’s conscience won’t hurt!"

Ruan Wan chuckled, looking at the slightly annoyed Yuan Yindi with a smiling gaze.

Ruan Wan understood Yuan Yindi’s anger.

However, understanding was one thing; she had no intention of siding with Yuan Yindi.

By contrast, she hoped Yuan Yindi could be the ruler of the world. Not because she could become the empress, but because, in Ruan Wan’s view, if her fifth brother became emperor, he would surely be an outstanding ruler, a good emperor who could bring prosperity to the people of the world.

...

After Yuan Bao and Wei Wushang left, they didn’t return to their current temporary residence. Instead, they wandered the streets and found a fairly elegant restaurant where they ordered a few dishes.

"Jiaojiao, do you really have a way?"

Along the way, Wei Wushang kept thinking about how to make an emperor not get tired.

Unfortunately, after thinking so much, he still couldn’t come up with a solution.

An emperor, ruler of the world, overseeing the vast realm, even when small matters are handled by officials, just dealing with major issues is a huge affair; how could he not be exhausted?

"Of course, I never fight a battle I’m not prepared for!"

Yuan Bao was full of confidence, having a well-thought-out plan.

"Then tell me!"

Wei Wushang looked at Yuan Bao, eager to hear what her plans were.

Yuan Bao smiled slightly and said, "This time, the world’s unification is promoted from top to bottom. In other words, this is absolute unification under military force!"

"Anyone who doesn’t cooperate, I estimate, will end up dead!"

"However, heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and I plan to save these people!"

"What does that have to do with whether being an emperor is exhausting?"

"It has everything to do with it, and it’s a big connection!"

Yuan Bao smiled slightly and said, "Think about it, who held the power before?"

"The emperor!"

"That’s right. Before, the emperor held all the power, even royal relatives or noble families were powerless against imperial authority."

"So, they banded together, scheming and plotting, with the sole aim of limiting imperial power!"

"Honestly, they were simply trying to survive!"

"After all, if power is in the emperor’s hands, it also means their life and death are in the emperor’s hands."

"Say nothing of the powerful, even ordinary people, who would willingly place their life in someone else’s hands? Uncle Wushang, would you want someone else to control your fate?"

"No, I wouldn’t!"

Wei Wushang didn’t even think and responded immediately.

If it were before, Wei Wushang might arrogantly claim that the Wei Family’s fate has always been in their own hands, but after what happened, he understood it was nonsense.

Under conspiracies and plots, the emperor could easily destroy the Wei Family.

On the surface, the Wei Family had always balanced the royal family, only because the emperor hadn’t acted against them.

If the emperor wanted to destroy the Wei Family, there were plenty of ways.

The Empress Dowager’s plots were one!

And poisoning was another!

Of course, if the Wei Family hadn’t been useful to Daxia all along, they might have already faced numerous conspiracies, even naturally become extinct!

After all, making sure people couldn’t have children was too easy for those skilled in medicine!

"These people don’t want their life and death controlled by others, so I’m giving them a chance!"

"Allowing them to control their own fate!"

"As for the emperor, from now on, they will just be a symbol!"

Yuan Bao eloquently shared the concept of a constitutional monarchy.
