How to Go Mad and Rule the World

(Revised the outline and started writing again.)

Xie Wude's self-assessment: there's something wrong with his head.

Wouldn't it be great to be a lunatic?

As a god who will live as long as Heaven in every sense, he still has at least hundreds of billions, maybe even trillions, of years left. Why should he restrain himself with morality that changes every moment?

To hell with self-reflection, to hell with self-restraint and propriety, to hell with benevolence and love for others.

The chancellor, who opposed the Fourth Prince Xie Wude's ascension to the throne, had something to say about that:

"I just opposed your coronation, you lunatic! Did you really have to hang yourself outside my house that very day?!"

The officials who opposed moving the capital north had something to say:

"We just didn't want to move! Did you really have to toss us all from the south into a northern marketplace in the middle of winter while we were asleep?!"

The snide foreign envoys had something to say:

"We just didn't want to address you as our Imperial Father! Did you really have to dig our king's father out of his grave the next day and claim he'd agreed to it?!"

Xie Wude: Life is a piece of cake. What? You don't think so? Well, that's definitely not my fault. You should reflect on yourselves more and stop blaming me.
