In Great Xia, I Become a Powerful Minister Through Infinite Choices

Before you stands... A marquis with a million troops, head of the Xiao clan and holder of the realm’s economic lifelines, leader of countless scholars, The Outcast’s closest adviser and second only to the emperor, the ideal husband of some young princess, and the number-one tyrant who cracks down on Japanese opium dealers... Hmm? You say he’s a treacherous minister? [Entrusted at the Deathbed: Promise the old emperor you will support the young ruler and become Daxia’s foremost powerbroker. Reward for this choice: The young emperor is weak and incompetent, and will write an abdication decree for you, letting you change dynasties with full legitimacy.] [Ambition Unbound: Refuse the old emperor’s request to support the young ruler and immediately raise an army in rebellion. Reward for this choice: You gain the famous minister Hou Jing. After your rebellion succeeds, Hou Jing will behead you and seize the throne.] [Weak and Incompetent: Agree, then support the young ruler alongside the great clans. Reward for this choice: Misfortune increased by 100%. When the new emperor intends to abdicate, the great clans’ coalition will crush you, bringing down your power for good.] As the old emperor lay gravely ill, Xiao Yu listened to the three choices in his mind and let a faint smile play on his lips. No, no, no. He didn’t want to be a treacherous minister. He just wanted to be emperor. That’s all.
