135 Blinded eyes, the opinion of the demon king
"You (Nero in the text) won't use the title of Yu and Ru anymore, it feels very troublesome. How do you think this situation in Rome is changing? The [***] of the Senate and the exploitation of the nobles, now the city looks prosperous, but the interior is completely rotten, although I am the emperor, but the real power is in the hands of my mother, I really don't know what to do anymore. Nero sat on the bed hugging the pillow with a helpless expression, and across from her, Razor was floating cross-legged in the air watching her, the smile on his face never disappearing, as if his expression had completely frozen.
But Nero could feel that there was not a trace of emotion in his squinted eyes, and the man was smiling from beginning to end, but it was like water that would never make waves, making it impossible to figure out what was going on in his heart.
"Hmm..."Lei Zhe pondered for a moment, and then said: "The most fundamental reason for the current situation in Rome is the exploitation of the [***] senate and aristocratic merchants, the prosperity of Rome does have their credit, but they have gained more than they have paid, in fact, this situation is easy to change." β
Saying this, Lei Zhe's gaze looked directly at Nero, and then said: "If you want to change this situation, it depends on how much you will give!" Would you like to listen to my advice? Lei Zhe asked with a smile, but his smile became slightly distorted, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth continued to expand, completely turning black into his left eye, and black objects continued to appear around the eye socket, spreading outward.
Seeing his appearance, Nero's body trembled involuntarily, Lei Zhe's appearance reminded you of his performance when he was blackened just now, and the black left eye gave her a rather bad feeling.
"Well, take it easy, I won't eat you again." Lei Zhe's expression recovered, and he smiled again and said, the black lines that spread around the eye socket instantly penetrated into his left eye, although it was not as weird as just now, but the white pupils were still very tangled.
"In fact, it is very easy to run a country, all you have to do is to have two things, military power and popular support! There is a saying in my hometown, that is, 'the world of those who win the hearts of the people', the people are the cornerstone of this country, the pillars, whether it is the emperor, the nobles, the merchants, if there are no commoners they are nothing! But it's not enough for you to have the hearts of the people, because at some point, even if the people support you, they will still choose to remain silent under threats, so you need a strong army to back you up! Only when you have both of these things can you become a qualified emperor. β
Military power and popular will, these are the most important and basic two things, if there is only military power and no popular will, it is a tyrant!
If there is a will of the people but no military power, then you are a puppet, and you will become a puppet in the hands of those who have power, just like Nero is now!
"Military power, the people's heart..."Nero lowered his head and muttered to himself, Lei Zhe did not disturb her thinking, but waited quietly.
"The military power is in the hands of the Senate, although I have prestige among the civilians, but I am still a puppet as you said..."Nero finally laughed self-deprecatingly, her beautiful face appeared bitter, puppet or something, didn't she have this kind of consciousness a long time ago?
From the day she became the emperor, she was already destined to become a puppet, a puppet of her mother, a prop that could be discarded at any time, a victim to consolidate her position...
"What are you wondering about? That's right, now you don't have military power, and the people's will is also accumulating, and you do look like a puppet, but this kind of thing is not impossible to change, Nero, what kind of emperor do you want to be? For the decaying senators and nobles, or for the commoners who live in the dark? How much are you willing to pay to change the situation? Lei Zhe said calmly, he knew Nero's future, and he also knew Nero's ending, but at this time he didn't have any scruples, he wanted to use this girl, yes, it was to use!
As long as she can change her future fate, then she can get a way to become stronger from the chain soul, and sure enough, only strength is the most fundamental!
As long as I have power, I can change, change everything!
The death of Enkidu, the decline of Uruk, the departure of Zamumu and others, even Gilgamesh, are all due to loopholes in their own plans, mistakes?
No, it's not, isn't it because I don't have the strength to be like this?! Yes, it is because of his own incompetence that this result has been caused, and in the end it is still too weak!
Lei Zhe didn't know that at this time, he was completely blinded by the word 'power', and could no longer see the surroundings and the road ahead.
The darkness in his heart was even devouring his soul, and even the blonde blue pupils he longed for the most in the past were unattractive at this moment, all he needed was strength, the power to be able to change his life against the sky and resist fate!
Nero was confused by Lei Zhe's words, if he could change, what would he have to pay?
If you could change, what would you pay to change?!
Looking at the confused girl, Lei Zhe smiled evilly, and then said in a low voice: "You have something that others don't have, although it seems to be a fiction, but it is your best help!" β
"Something that no one else has, help?" Nero looked up and looked at Lei Zhe, she was a little dazed.
"Emperor! Have you forgotten? You are the emperor, the emperor of Rome! Nominally supreme ruler! That's what you have! Lei Zhe pointed to his head and said.
"Emperor?!" Nero was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "You should know my situation, right?" Like you said, I'm just a puppet, what can a puppet do? In this glorious city, I, the emperor, don't even have a place to live, only this small room is the ultimate home! What do you think I'm the emperor?! β
"How could it be useless?! You are the emperor, the emperor recognized by all of Rome! Even if you don't have the power now, who would dare to talk nonsense if you want to get back what belongs to you?! That's your biggest asset, and if you want to change, you have to get back what belongs to you! Lei Zhe said with a smile, although he was calm, his tone was full of evil.
"Something that belongs to me? What else can I get back? β
"Why not?! As an emperor, you don't even have your own power, so what kind of emperor is you?! You should go and take back your own power, from your mother! β
"Mother? But those thingsβ" Nero was interrupted before he could finish his sentence, and he laughed, twisted and bloodthirsty, full of evil.
He raised his right hand and slashed it at his neck, then smirked, "Your power is in your own mother's hands, right?" So how about killing her and taking back what belongs to her?! Even if you kill your mother in the end and get power, the Senate will not be able to do anything against you because of your status! So that you have the capital to change the country, and that's just the first step! β
Nero was stunned, she looked at the man in front of her, maybe the sword spirit was more suitable.
"Are you willing to change? Even if it takes a lot!! β
