Emperor Shun suddenly laughed, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and said to Ning Chen with a smile: "I do feel very comfortable in such an atmosphere."

After a pause, Emperor Shun said with emotion: "Once upon a time, I also thought that I could have such a discussion with my father. I also thought that my heirs could have a few words with me like this."

Looking at Emperor Shun who was full of emotions, Ning Chen sneered in his heart: I can't handle you, the little Emperor Shun, even with ten brushes with Zhen Huan and five brushes with Yanxi.

Ning Chen filled another glass of wine for Emperor Shun, and took the initiative to say to Emperor Shun: "Your Majesty, why did you come to see me?"

Emperor Shun put down his wine glass and asked Ning Chen: "Do you think I am a good emperor?"

Ning Chen also put down his wine glass and said seriously: "If you let me judge you, in my eyes, you are the best emperor. When His Majesty passes away, I will definitely bear the brunt of the biggest loss."

Ning Chen was really serious when he said these words.

In fact, Ning Chen also thought so in his heart.

A cowardly king and a sycophantic minister are a perfect match.

Now that the Hunjun is gone, if you want to be a sycophant, you will have to put in a lot of effort.

Emperor Shun looked at Ning Chen. From Ning Chen's eyes, Emperor Shun did not see any hint of flattery.

"I did not misjudge the person, and I did not trust you in vain." Emperor Shun said happily.

Ning Chen curled his lips inwardly after hearing Emperor Shun's words.

However, he still said in agreement: "Your Majesty, we, the emperor and his ministers, are perfect examples of the emperor, the sage, and the minister. We, the emperor and the minister, must be remembered forever."

Emperor Shun interrupted Ning Chen and said, "Okay, I already know your thoughts."

The conversation changed to Emperor Shun and said: "But I also know that in the eyes of others, I am a foolish king, a complete foolish king.

They feel that my practice of Taoism is harming the country, that I favor traitors and sycophants, and that I am ostracizing loyal people."

Hearing the word "treacherous", Ning Chen curled his lips, feeling deeply offended.

"Even if I die, they won't feel sad at all.

On the contrary, I will celebrate with my forehead and hands, feeling that such a foolish king like me is finally dead.

I feel that the human race and the Wu Dynasty can finally be saved."

Ning Chen interrupted Emperor Shun and said, "Your Majesty, you really can't say this. If Your Majesty is still alive, then it doesn't matter if they think Your Majesty is a foolish king.

But Your Majesty has passed away. If Your Majesty is really a foolish king, how could you possibly cultivate immortality and then destroy yourself?"

Emperor Shun said: "You are a wise minister, and you can understand. But not everyone in the world is as wise as you, Ning Aiqing. They will not look at me like this, they will only think that I deserve to die.

It’s too late for me to die.”

Seeing that Emperor Shun said he was a virtuous person, Ning Chen planned to comfort Emperor Shun again: "Your Majesty, you can't say that.

Although there is no one who is as virtuous as me, there is no one who is even less virtuous than me.

If you let them think about it, they might be able to figure it out."

"Now that you have understood why I died, I won't explain to you why I died. I will just tell you what you need to do for me, right?"

Ning Chen interrupted Emperor Shun and said, "No, Your Majesty. My time in the imperial court is still too short. There are some things that I'm still not sure about. Your Majesty, please tell me in detail."

In this way, I will have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of Your Majesty, wouldn't it be good for the next minister to help Your Majesty?"

Emperor Shun took a sip of wine, and Ning Chen immediately filled up another glass, and also filled up a glass for himself.

He acted like you have a story and I have a drink, waiting for Emperor Shun to tell a story.

"Do you know why I am called Emperor Shun?" Emperor Shun asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen nodded and said, "I know a little bit.

People outside say that Your Majesty is doing this because all of His Majesty's brothers are dead.

His Majesty became emperor without any competition.

Your Majesty was named Emperor Shun because he felt deeply that he successfully became emperor."

Emperor Shun sneered and said: "Sentimental? No one will think that I am emotional. They will only think that Zhen is arrogant and that Zhen is stupid."

After a pause, Emperor Shun changed the topic and said with a murderous tone in his voice: "But how do they know that those are my blood brothers?

Those are the brothers who love me the most!

How could I wish them to die, and how could I harm them!

I wish I could kill those enemies who killed my brother with my own hands.

But I am the king of a country, and I want to protect the country that my brothers left to me.

I can bear the infamy, but I cannot go to see my brothers without words after my death!

I can be stupid, I can be incompetent, I can bear the scolding of everyone in the world.

I can make everyone in the world think that I am the one who destroyed brotherhood and betrayed the country.

But I must defend the country and the human race that my brothers have fought tooth and nail to defend!"

After listening to what Emperor Shun said through gritted teeth, Ning Chen's view of Emperor Shun was really overturned.

Although Ning Chen didn't think that Emperor Shun was stupid before.

But Emperor Shun was definitely not a wise king.

After listening to what Emperor Shun said today, Ning Chen discovered that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Emperor Shun, an old boy, actually hid so many things in his heart.

"Are you planning to clear your name before you die?" Ning Chen complained in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Ning Chen asked Emperor Shun: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask one more question. Why does your Majesty practice Taoism?"

Emperor Shun drank all the wine in the cup and asked Ning Chen: "What do you think of the Changsheng Taoist Sect?"

"Your Majesty, let's put aside my personal grudges with the Changsheng Dao Sect and see that it is definitely not a good thing?" Ning Chen vowed.

Emperor Shun nodded and said, "Then how do you think the Immortal Taoist Sect will survive if I don't practice immortality?"

Ning Chen really hasn't thought about this issue.

But this question is actually not difficult to answer.

If the Changsheng Taoist Sect did not have the long-term meal ticket of Emperor Shun, it would inevitably enter the private sector.

"How many people in the world do you think can endure the temptation of immortality?" Emperor Shun asked.

"This..." Ning Chen thought for a moment, and it seems that there are really not many people who can resist the temptation of immortality.

Following Emperor Shun's idea, Ning Chen suddenly figured out the key.

Emperor Shun's practice of cultivating immortality is indeed very harmful.

But looking at it from the other side, the Changsheng Dao Sect has a stable and long-term meal ticket with everything it needs because it is in one step.

Indeed, there is absolutely no need to go to the people to spread their moral principles.

At the same time, Emperor Shun directly made the Changsheng Dao Sect something that only nobles could play.

As a result, the people naturally hated the Changsheng Taoist Sect deeply.

If this happens, the Changsheng Dao Sect will have no living environment among the people.

Without the people's living environment, the destructive power of the Changsheng Dao Sect has indeed been greatly reduced.

If the Changsheng Dao Sect is really allowed to spread among the people.

That is rotten from the root.

As for why Emperor Shun didn't directly destroy the Changsheng Dao Sect, the answer is obvious.

The Changsheng Taoist Sect has a second-grade Taoist leader, if you really want to destroy it.

It is necessary to bring troops back with the level of Marquis Dingguo and Prince Jing.

But if this happens, the commotion will become louder.

And if there is a fight like this, it will not only affect the human race but also the Wu Dynasty.

These are all very debilitating things.

From this point of view, Emperor Shun's own cultivation of Taoism was indeed the least loss.

Ning Chen looked at Emperor Shun up and down, as if he was meeting Emperor Shun for the first time.

In fact, it’s right to think about it, when Emperor Shun came to power.

Although the Wu Dynasty had a great victory over the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, the foundation of the Wu Dynasty had actually been almost exhausted.

The Wu Dynasty was basically an empty frame.

With such an empty frame, Emperor Shun was able to toil for almost forty years and still maintain such an empty frame.

It can also make all parties look at this empty frame and remain silent, always believing that Emperor Shun can defeat him.

This skill is actually not easy.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, it's okay if you don't die." Ning Chen thought for a moment and said to Emperor Shun.
