Section 58 The ideal township that the gods take for granted
Of course, the villain aura on Chen Chaonan's body did not disappear.
In such an ancient oriental world full of various heavenly systems, it should be difficult for a villain to appear in theory, and even if there is, the first villain should be the emperor who controls everything in the country.
By the same token, if there is anyone who is the protagonist in such a world, then there is no one else except those emperors and high-ranking officials.
What's more, there is another story in this world.
"Twenty-four divine beasts guarding twenty-four countries, and twenty-four witches serving divine beasts......"
Chen Chaonan will not forget the setting of a certain set of well-known otome comics.
The opening scene of that set of comics is not that the heroine is swept into a different world by a broken book, inexplicably becomes a witch of a mythical beast, and then develops a series of love-hate stories that will make people doubt the intelligence of the characters.
Just like Chen Chaonan's situation now, he was also swept up in a book.
The difference is that Chen Chaonan directly becomes a character in the story, rather than being summoned like the heroine of the story of that work.
"The shrine maiden of the beast is also separated from the seven guardians of the people...... It's basically the same as that work......"
The setting and traces of the story are so obvious, it is strange that Chen Chaonan can't guess it.
Although he hasn't really read the otome story, he knows a little bit about it because this set of works is quite famous.
"However, according to the urine nature of this otome to the world, coupled with the inexplicable insertion of another setting that is not an otome to the work at all, it seems that I should not meet the characters in the story...... As before, there are always some subtle deviations in the characters......"
Of course, this is all his speculation, he has just come to this world, and he has not met other characters with the aura of the protagonist, so it is impossible to be completely sure.
However, according to past experience, it is probably eight or nine inseparable.
"Anyway, let's go and meet His Majesty the Great Emperor first."
Chen Chaonan came to the entrance and exit of the palace.
The morning court was about to begin, so officials were gathering at the palace from all directions.
Different officials used different entrances and exits, and the west side of the palace where Chen Chaonan came was the passage used by military attachés of low status like him.
When Chen Chaonan came here, he saw several "acquaintances", all of whom were low-ranking military attaches who often met at the cemetery, and although he did not actually know these people, he still greeted them according to the appearance in his memory.
According to his previous memories, Chen Chaonan got off his mount and handed over the horses to the blue-clothed chamberlain.
Due to the particularity of this world, there are no eunuchs and eunuchs, and these internal treatments are really just subordinates like pure ordinary employees.
After Chen Chaonan made some registrations to enter the palace, he successfully stepped into the palace.
He was originally a military attache who would come every day, and the registration outside the door was just a routine procedure, so naturally it would not cause anything.
"But this world is really wonderful."
Chen Chaonan gently patted the long knife on his waist.
This is the standard weapon of the military attaché, if it is placed in the real world line, it is impossible for a small military attache like him to carry a weapon into the palace.
But there is no such thing as "rebellion" here, and for the emperor chosen by God, the people will accept it unconditionally, and will never consider rebelling against the emperor and the court.
It can be said that even if the palace door of this palace is wide open, the emperor will not have any life in danger, except for some bold thieves and criminals, no one will dare to step into the palace.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and this female emperor who left the country, because she was not used to the mediocre behavior of the previous emperor, in order to prevent the other party's perverse behavior, secretly gathered a group of righteous people, broke into the palace and subdued the emperor.
The same emperor was not killed on the spot, this old emperor who has been in power for more than a hundred years has not always been so mediocre and incompetent, just because this person has been sitting on the dragon chair for too long, forgetting his original intention and heart, and even the divine beast Qilin around him can't listen to the advice, coupled with the corruption of the court officials, the country will fall under the punishment of heaven and cause the people to live poorly.
In this world, the emperor's throne was originally given by heaven and cannot be taken away by anyone else, but if the emperor really cannot fulfill his duties, he will be deprived of his status by heaven.
At this point, the emperor, who had completely lost the hearts and minds of the people, finally angered the heavens, and all tolerance and forgiveness disappeared in him, and after this emperor was subdued again, he lost his position as the mandate of heaven.
The divine beast that assisted the emperor, the Kirin, died with a sigh.
Every emperor has only one divine beast by his side, and this kind of divine beast that selects the emperor can be said to be a community of life, and when the emperor chosen by the Qilin cannot continue his duties, the Qilin also needs to take responsibility and apologize to God with his life.
At the same time, in the sacrificial forbidden place in the depths of the palace, a new divine beast unicorn also descended from the heavens.
A new divine beast, the Kirin, appears in front of the current emperor and elects her as the new emperor.
Although it sounds too simple and straightforward, gaining the recognition of the divine beast Qilin is the only way for the emperor of this world to ascend the throne.
After this, the new emperor finally reformed the corrupt imperial court and slowly brought the country back to life.
As for those corrupt and incompetent old officials, they naturally beheaded themselves in front of the people together with the mediocre emperor.
At that time, whether it was to calm the anger of the people or to express one's heart to heaven, this was the fastest way, and no one could say what was wrong with it.
"No matter what the world is, even if there are different understandings, they are actually the same......"
Chen Chaonan felt that this so-called ideal township was nothing more than the forced ideal of the Heavenly Court of this world.
If you can make a wise leader immortal, it is true that the country can always be maintained at the peak, but human beings are never immortals, and the gathering of human beings will change with the passage of time, time is the most abrasive thing in people's hearts, even if the body will not age, it does not mean that the mind will not be corrupted.
According to the history of this world, the vast majority of emperors and officials were deposed by heaven under such circumstances.
The generational changes in this world are infrequent, but they are even more cruel.
Because of the rules of God, it is the whole country that suffers.
In addition, the existence of demons and monsters will bring great harm when the court changes generations.
It is precisely because the officials are immortal, because there is no way to inject new blood, and because new ideas and thinking cannot be deposited in the ancient and rigid imperial court, that every once in a while, this kind of natural change will occur.
"It's too much of a fairy thought, it's really ......"
Chen Chaonan thought about it, and unconsciously came to the destination.
This is the council palace in the center of the Imperial Palace, where the daily pilgrimage meeting is held.
Many officials have already taken their places and are waiting for the beginning of the court.
Chen Chaonan shook his head secretly, put aside the thoughts in his heart, and walked quickly to his position.
"In short......"
Chen Chaonan secretly looked into the depths of the palace, the dragon seat that was still empty.
"Let's observe the officials and emperors of this world first."
