What's it like to be treated like dirt by the man you personally put on the throne?
Every day, the minds of all the officials in the Great Liang court were filled with question marks.
They had assumed that the First Prince, who led armies into battle and expanded the empire in every direction, would surely become a legendary ruler and lead Great Liang to prosperity. But who could have guessed that the price of that prosperity would be working every last official to death? Building a dynasty where one word from the emperor sent officials running until their legs gave out became one of Lu Suzheng's proudest achievements.
(And his second-proudest achievement was probably making sure the Great Liang dynasty would have no descendants at all! At the thought, Lu Suzheng couldn't help giving a wicked smile.)
Of course, Lu Suzheng didn't much care whether the officials ran themselves ragged. But the general's every move was a constant source of worry.
Eunuch: Your Majesty, the general sent word that he won't be returning to the palace tonight.
Lu Suzheng, his expression icy: Very well. Then I'll sleep at the military camp tonight.
Huangfu Ming: ??????
Lu Suzheng: If the mountain won't come to me, can't I go to the mountain? Your clingy little sweetheart is coming!
Huangfu Ming: ...
A gifted, aloof, and pure-hearted general who acts rather than speaks, as the top, and a cunning, sly, bashful, adorable emperor who actively throws the court into chaos, as the bottom.
Theme: Your fate, of course, belongs in your own hands.
This is so short?! Have I fallen into a trap again?
