Chapter 223: Why Are You Look Down on the Emperor 1

After counting the many benefits of being an emperor, Jiang Beiran turned his attention back to the option.

The first option was to reject Guan Shi’an, but he was not sure than rejecting Guan Shi’an would trigger a high-tier earth-grade incident, or because he refused to become emperor.

However, after looking at option 2, Jiang Beiran felt that refusing to become the emperor was more likely to trigger a high-tier earth-grade incident.

Jiang Beiran had once thought that the Imperial Court of a puppet empire like the Sheng Kingdom was just a decoration.

However, Deng Bo made him understand that he was wrong.

Just like during the Three Kingdoms period, even though the Han dynasty regime had already ceased to exist in name, it could still play a huge role if used well.

Although in this fantasy world, the usage of regime was not quite the same, but from the fact that Deng Bo was able to recruit so many experts in just a few years, it showed that the Imperial Court still had its unique role.

Now that the power in Fengzhou had been greatly reshuffled, it was inevitable that the Imperial Court would be involved.

Thinking about it, Jiang Beiran felt that his dream of being the “happy emperor” seemed to be a little hard. However, it made sense. Guan Shi’an must have come to find him in such a hurry to resolve the problems. It was impossible Guan Shi’an to allow Jiang Beiran to enjoy his life.

“Little Friend, Little Friend?” While Jiang Beiran was lost in thought, Guan Shi’an patted his shoulder, “I know this matter is very sudden for you, but you are really the best candidate that we can think of. You don’t have to be too nervous. We have already taken care of everything that needs to be taken care of for you. If any person insists on making trouble for you, we will definitely stand behind you.”

“Standing behind is fine… But you guys should stand in front of me and protect me!” Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

He cupped his hands and said, “This matter is indeed too sudden, but if I can help Sect Master Guan solve some problems and make some small contributions to Fengzhou, then I’m willing to!”

Guan Shi’an was stunned at first, but then he was overjoyed, he laughed and said, “Hahaha, I told you that Old Ghost Yin Jianghong’s judgment of you was wrong. Little Friend, I don’t think you’re trying to protect yourself only. Instead, you will step up when it’s time. Good! Very good!”

Guan Shi’an acting so happy when he heard that Jiang Beiran he was willing to be the emperor. Then, a strange feeling rose in Jiang Beiran’s heart.

After all, in his original world, if one wanted to be the emperor, one would have to pay many prices. There were also countless people who betrayed him and wanted to sit on the dragon throne with all cost.

But here, the throne became like a hot potato.

“It really is a vast world. There are all kinds of strange things.”

Sighing in his heart, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands toward Guan Shi’an and said, “Sect Master Guan, but I have never come into contact with anything in the Imperial Court. I don’t know what an emperor supposed to do.”

“Don’t worry about that. We have already arranged a few people to assist you. If you have anything you don’t understand, just ask them.”

“Thank you, Sect Master Guan. Since that’s the case, I will definitely study hard.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran raised his head and said, “Sect Master Guan, after I become the emperor, what do you need me to do?”

“This…” Guan Shi’an was a little stuck for a moment. “Do what an emperor should do. Just don’t let the people of Sheng Kingdom starve to death.”

“Erm…”

After listening to Guan Shi’an’s words, Jiang Beiran understood a little. This old man really thought that being an emperor was like playing games. As long as he didn’t try to rebel, he could make Sheng Kingdom prosperous and peaceful with just a few words.

“Sect Master Guan, how should I deal with the matter of the Imperial Court? How should the resources of Fengzhou and Lanzhou be distributed? What kind of stance should the Imperial Court take when Fengzhou is divided? If…”

“It’s fine.”

Faced with Jiang Beiran’s series of questions, Guan Shi’an waved his hand and said, “It’s just a small matter. Just do as you see fit.”

“D*mn you…” Jiang Beiran suddenly understood how Deng Bo had nurtured his power to such a large extent under the eyes of the sect master. This old man probably only knew how to cultivate and did not care about the matters of the Imperial Court at all.

But that was also true. Guan Shi’an was a mystic master, so he preferred to speak with his fists.

Guan Shi’an seemed to feel that he was a little too hands-off, so he coughed, he said, “In short, the most important thing now is to let you become the emperor first. We can slowly discuss the rest. Prepare yourself. You can ascend the throne tomorrow.”

“…”

Jiang Beiran suddenly felt like he had ten thousand horses galloping past his heart. He resisted the urge to look at Guan Shi’an as if he was a retard. He took a deep breath and cupped his hands. “Sect Master Guan, I know that this matter is extremely urgent. However, shouldn’t you wait for me to learn a bit more about the matter of ascending the throne so that I can familiarize myself with it…”

“Hey! It’s fine. It’s just being an emperor. You can learn while you’re at it. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Jiang Beiran suddenly understood that there was no way he could reason with this old man in front of him. Guan Shi’an really didn’t take the emperor seriously. Or perhaps, the reason why he had to personally look for Jiang Beiran was that he didn’t want to bother himself with these things.

After understanding these things, Jiang Beiran didn’t waste any more words. It was useless to talk to Guan Shi’an now

“Okay, I’ll listen to all your instructions. I wonder if you have already informed our sect master about this matter?”

“I haven’t told him yet. Naturally, I will first ask for your opinion. As long as you agree, I will go and speak to Brother Lu. I believe that he is also a person who understands righteousness.”
