"Can you believe it, the Emperor is so sinister?"
Student Xiao D was somewhat simple-minded, and after hearing He Tiantian's analysis, he immediately felt that the political scene was filthy.
He Tiantian:...
"It's not about being sinister or not; the Emperor is a Superior, he definitely assesses the pros and cons from his own perspective."
To consolidate imperial power, he could, just like in the original story, send a hundred thousand troops into the encirclement of the Hulu.
He would also instruct his trusted villainous minister, which is He Xi, to cut off supplies to the Guo Family Army.
Without food, without weapons, without reinforcements, a hundred thousand troops were painfully ground down alive.
A hundred thousand troops, along with the Duke Wei Mansion, were just means for the Saint to consolidate power.
If he had succeeded, having eliminated a warlord who could pose a threat to his authority and secured imperial power, then he would be considered The Wise Emperor.
