In the main hall, the lights are brightly lit.

It was already late at night. Sheng Taizu, played by Chu Ge, threw the last memorial on the table and leaned back a little tiredly.

Tired...

As an old man who is already seventy years old, even if Chu Ge has the gift of "mental health", his physical condition has reached a very extreme level after years of reviewing memorials.

The work of the emperor is indeed not done by humans.

Therefore, in feudal society, most people actually had no control over their lives.

Farmers work hard every day, but once some natural or man-made disaster occurs, they will end up selling their sons and daughters, leading to poverty and illness.

Although wealthy businessmen usually have a wealthy family and live in luxury, once they are targeted by officials, they will lose their skin even if they die. In the worst case, their homes will be confiscated and all their property will be used as military supplies.

Although officials are arrogant and domineering, they can still make all kinds of gray or black income as much as they want, but once something happens, they will be executed.

The emperor seems to be at the top of the entire feudal society. He can kill whoever he wants and do whatever he wants, but he is not absolutely free.

If you want to govern the country well, you have to work harder than a farmer; if you want to live peacefully, you have to bear the risk that the world may be in chaos and your position will be taken away.

It’s difficult!

In comparison, Chu Ge still prefers modern society.

Although oppression and pain also exist in modern society, at least due to the development of productivity, the probability of most people living a safe and happy life is much higher than in ancient times.

The memorial on the desk did not appear again for the time being, giving Chu Ge a very valuable rest time.

"Huh... this round of memorials has finally been approved...

"However, no new cases have been discovered for a long time.

"I thought there would be a Zhou Ping case involving a wide range of things, but after reading the memorial carefully, I found that the Zhou Ping case had been closed ten years ago...

"Strange, this doesn't look like the style of the game "Dark Sand".

"But it is indeed a case that has been completed, and there is not much content related to the Zhou Ping case in these memorials. From the perspective of game mechanics, I should not be required to settle old scores."

Cases after the North and South List case will no longer trigger any system prompts, and they can only be found by the players themselves from the mountains of memorials.

This probability is like finding a needle in a haystack.

However, since Chu Ge had ready-made historical knowledge in his mind, during the process of reviewing these memorials, he also paid targeted attention to some key cases in his memory.

For example, the Zhou Ping case.

This is also a case with great impact. Chu Ge originally thought that it would inevitably appear in the performance of the "Emperor" identity, but he repeatedly checked these memorials and compared the names of officials on the memorials and found that this case had actually happened.

ten years.

Judging from historical records, this case did occur at a time before Chu Ge played Sheng Taizu.

But Chu Ge also knew that in the copy of "Heroic and Reckless", these events were never based on the real time in history. For example, the time of the empty seal case obviously did not match, and it was forced by the game "Ansha".

Moved, pieced together.

Therefore, the Zhou Ping case turned out to be a case that had already happened, which made Chu Ge always feel a little uneasy.

The Zhou Ping case is actually not complicated in detail.

Shortly after the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, the then Prime Minister Sima Yan resigned due to illness. Before leaving, he recommended Zhou Ping, a fellow countryman from Sheng Taizu, to succeed him as Prime Minister.

Later, Zhou Ping was highly regarded by Taizu Sheng because of his thoughtfulness and appropriateness in handling affairs, and he had great power.

But soon, a major case against Zhou Ping began.

Initially, Zhou Ping's son was speeding in a car on the street and accidentally fell off the car and fell to his death. When Zhou Ping learned about it, he was very angry and used lynching to kill the driver directly.

When Taizu Sheng learned about this, he became furious and asked Zhou Ping to pay for the life of the driver.

Zhou Ping applied for compensation of property to avoid death, but Sheng Taizu refused. Zhou Ping realized that Sheng Taizu wanted him to die, so he joined forces with the imperial censor, Zhongcheng and other officials to plot a rebellion, and secretly won over the civil and military ministers.

Immediately afterwards, foreign envoys came to Beijing to pay tribute, but Zhou Ping did not report it to Taizu Sheng, but kept it himself.

The matter was learned by the inspector arranged by Sheng Taizu and reported to Sheng Taizu. Sheng Taizu was furious and demanded a thorough investigation, so a prison was set up. The officials under Zhou Ping were not monolithic. Many officials were well aware of the rebellion that caused Sheng Taizu.

It was basically a dead end, so I reported it secretly.

As a result, a lot of evidence about Zhou Ping's rebellion was discovered, including the corruption and fraud committed by his followers.

Taizu Sheng killed more than 20,000 people, most of whom were officials and family members closely involved with Zhou Ping.

Logically speaking, such a weighty case should appear in the role of "emperor".

But after Chu Ge flipped through the memorial for a long time, he discovered that this case actually happened based on real historical events, and nearly ten years had passed.

"Forget it, since it's not found in the game, it probably doesn't exist.

"Maybe the game "Dark Sand" has a certain degree of randomness when arranging cases.

"If the clearance goals are strictly based on real cases that happened in history every time, will it be easier for players to copy the answers at the beginning? A little randomness can also create certain obstacles for players to clear the level."

Chu Ge didn't think much and leaned back and took a nap.

However, just as he closed his eyes, his whole body seemed to float into the air as if his soul had left his body.

The little eunuch stepped forward in disbelief: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty!

"His Majesty passed away..."

Chu Ge: "..."

Good guy, he died without paying attention!

The performance ended too suddenly, and I was completely unprepared.

However, this is reasonable. After all, Sheng Taizu was already over seventy years old at the time, and he was still working at such a high intensity, so his death could indeed come at any time.

What made Chu Ge even more concerned was how many years of prosperity the Dasheng Dynasty would be able to enjoy after his dedicated efforts.

When he had dealt with the empty seal case before, he ruthlessly killed a group of officials, and also used some of the experience of later generations to give a relatively proper handling method, which gave Guo Zuo of the Dasheng Dynasty a little more two years.

Although it's not much, after all, the game mechanism stipulates that the game will be completed after more than 230 years.

Chu Ge was still full of expectations.

However, as the system prompt appeared in his field of vision, Chu Ge was stunned.

[The Dasheng Dynasty and Guozuo are being recalculated based on the handling of all cases.]

[The great prosperity of the dynasty and the enjoyment of the country: from the fifty-ninth year to the one hundred and seventy-eighth year.]

[Failed to clear the level as "Emperor"!]

Chu Ge looked at these lines of prompt information in front of him and was stunned.

what's the situation?

He had previously handled the North-South List case and the empty seal case, and also handled numerous other political matters in the process of reviewing memorials.

I had previously looked up Guo Zuo of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and they were all well above the passing mark.

But when I looked up Guo Zuo before, I only looked at the impact of major cases such as the Nanbei Bang Case and the Kongyin Case on Guo Zuo in the Great Sheng Dynasty.

And in the end, with the death of Sheng Taizu, the system showed the prosperous dynasty and Guozuo, but it was the result of all the cases added together.

Chu Ge frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Sure enough, this identity play is not that easy to pass. I encountered very serious problems...

"why?

"I must have missed a very important case, which led to this result.

"What's missing? Why can't I remember it at all?

"Moreover, why does this country still fluctuate up and down? The lowest is fifty-nine years, and the highest is one hundred and seventy-eight years. This gap is too big.

"If calculated based on the minimum of fifty-nine years, wouldn't it be equivalent to death in two lifetimes?

"It's too outrageous. What kind of thing can lead to the death of the second generation?

"...Planning to usurp the throne?"

As soon as Chu Ge analyzed it, he immediately felt that the amount of information hidden here was too great.

Sheng Taizu was a very long-lived emperor, and he lived to be seventy years old. The fifty-nine year of Guo Zuo meant that the Great Sheng Dynasty was over before his throne was passed to the emperor's grandson.

Do you want to say that it was overthrown because of the peasant uprising at the bottom? Or that it was invaded by foreign enemies?

It's unlikely.

On the one hand, during the process of Taizu Sheng establishing the Great Sheng Dynasty, the entire bottom class had actually been shuffled once. In the process of recuperating and recuperating in the world, the possibility of a large-scale peasant uprising at the bottom level was very low.

Even if it breaks out, it will not overthrow the Dasheng Dynasty.

On the other hand, Sheng Taizu had basically no foreign troubles in his later years.

Just like Zhao Haiping is playing, when Taizu Sheng was in his prime, he attacked the Northern Barbarians several times and drove the Northern Barbarians far away to Mobei, and did not dare to invade the borders of the Sheng Dynasty.

Even if the Northern Barbarians gradually awakened to the fierce fighting power of the past after returning to the grassland, and once again posed a threat to the Dasheng Dynasty with the unification of the grassland tribes, the most they could do was invade the invaders and plunder.

Subjugation of the country? Absolutely impossible in the short term.
