I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

"The spirit of Beastmaster Aslan? Get out of here!"

And the next moment, when the Witch King had just recovered from the roar of the giant lion, he was facing Chen Qi, who had changed his gestures at some point and pointed his palm at his pupils!

The second move of Tathagata Palm: Buddha asks Galan!

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, a huge hole created by a palm print appeared on this floor of the ship. As the ship shook violently, everyone was in a trance and realized that the soul of the Witch King had disappeared long ago, leaving Chen Qi standing alone, not shaken at all.

The "Witch King's Horn" that carried the Witch King's soul had already fallen to the ground, leaving only a tiny red light, not much brighter than a fluorescent stick.

"...I'm sorry, Witch King. I've already given you a chance, but you chose the second option. I have no choice but to force you to cooperate with us voluntarily in this way."

The Witch King's soul was not completely dissipated, but similar to Kosice's situation, most of his soul was shattered by Chen Qi's palm. Only a little bit of the remnant soul remained in the spiral corner, which could not even support the manifestation and could only ensure the conversation.

But now, the Witch King didn't say a word. It was unknown whether he was stunned by Chen Qi's palm or was simply frightened. Chen Qi picked up the horn and handed it to the dazed Black Key beside him, saying softly:

"Hei Jian, his blood is flowing in your body. Now, could you please take good care of him?"

"He no longer has the ability to occupy anyone's body, but maybe he would like to talk to someone? Of course, if you don't want to talk to him, you can always put the horn aside."

"...Of course, Director Chen Qi, I will take good care of him."

After a moment of silence, Black Key smiled with understanding and took the horn from the Witch King with both hands. When he thought about how he and White Cretaceous had to endure so many cruel experiments because of the remnants of this guy, he hated the Witch King with a vengeance.

But Black Key would not kill the Witch King. Chen Qi's previous words made Black Key find the best way to punish the Witch King - that is to squeeze out every last bit of value from him, squeeze out all his attainments in Originium skills, as well as his political, military, and economic insights, until the day when he is completely useless.

"I'll come to help reinforce this guy." At this time, Nian also stood up, facing the Witch King's horn in Hei Jian's hand, she also showed an expression of anger and laughter. Although the Witch King's sudden attack on Chen Qi just now did not succeed, it made Nian, the sister, very angry.

"I will keep him trapped in this spiral corner for the rest of his life. From now on, even if someone tries to revive him, he will be stuck in here for the rest of his life!"

"Chen Qi, are you okay? I was distracted just now."

Xi came up directly and looked at Chen Qi worriedly, fearing that the Witch King had done something to him. Chen Qi also waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he was fine.

Not far away, Kosice, who was possessed by Tallulah at the moment, also took the initiative to give up control of his body. He floated into the horn of the Witch King, and laughed at the residual soul of the Witch King, who was now weak after being slapped by Chen Qi, and said sarcastically:

"How is it, Witch King? Do you know how powerful my son-in-law is?"

"...Get lost, you old, damned Ursus nematode."

However, the Witch King's voice after a long time was only a muffled curse. Kosice laughed even more happily, seeing that someone was finally in the same situation as him, he was of course gloating.

Also, he finally had a companion. When he was alone in Tallulah's body, he either watched the interactions that had nothing to do with him, or watched the live broadcast of the battle between Chen Qi and Tallulah at night. Kosice finally had someone to chat with - even though he was a lunatic, at least he had something to do.

After a while, after Chen Qi confirmed that he was fine under Xi's examination, he finally turned his gaze to Zuo Le, restored his manners and smile, and said:

"I'm sorry, General Zuo Le, I frightened you."

"...No, Marquis Liewen combines both strength and softness, and kills the enemy with reason and evidence. Zuo Le admires you."

Zuo Le also hurriedly bowed, then immediately remembered the purpose of his trip, and immediately conveyed:

"Marquis Liewen, His Majesty has spoken. He has won the debate over all the officials and agreed to invite you to the capital to meet the emperor with the official attitude of Great Yan! Display your talents and serve as another warning bell for our Great Yan!"

Chapter 269: "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566", a gifted and incompetent ruler?

Two months had passed since Zuo Le brought the Emperor of Dayan's decree, inviting Chen Qi and his crew to the Dayan Imperial City. Only then did the ship of Chen Qi's crew finally appear outside the Imperial City. However, this time, Rhodes Island came with them.

This time, Chen Qi specially invited everyone from Rhodes Island to come together. The reason was simple: the work he was going to shoot this time required too many people. Almost every named character had a very full personality and was not a stereotyped character. Therefore, each role needed to be carefully considered.

Moreover, after all, the scenes related to the imperial court are being filmed in Dayan. If some actors with foreign looks suddenly appear, no matter how good their acting skills are, the Dayan audience will not buy it. Therefore, Chen Qi plans to use only Dayan actors this time. Of course, he will need some help from Rhodes Island, after all, there are quite a lot of Dayan people in Rhodes Island.

"Da Yan... I never thought that one day you would come back, and even come to the Imperial City."

On the ship, Huang saw the Imperial City not far ahead, and naturally saw the Imperial Palace standing in the city, but Huang's eyes were more indifferent than reminiscence. At this moment, Kal'tsit, who knew some of Huang's life experience, couldn't help but ask:

"So, have you made up your mind? Do you really want to participate in Chen Qi's drama? You know, even he said that this is a shocking drama. You should know the consequences."

"It's okay. Didn't the Great Yan Emperor say that he supports Director Chen Qi in filming this drama? As an emperor, he can't go back on his word, right?"

Huang was not worried about her own safety at all. After all, she had nothing to lose. Now that she was in Dayan, although Huang had no hope for the solution to her parents' unsolved case, she was still happy to be able to participate in criticizing Dayan in this drama.

For this reason, Huang immediately recommended herself to Chen Qi on the way to Dayan. Although Chen Qi did not agree immediately, Huang still believed that Chen Qi would give her this opportunity.

"It's not just me. Everyone on Rhodes Island is also very enthusiastic about signing up. It seems that there are quite a few operators who have some resentment towards Da Yan like me."

"... Having drifted to Rhodes Island, it's not surprising that most operators have some stories."

However, Kal'tsit did not intend to refute anything. After all, most of the people taken in by Rhodes Island were infected. In the territory of Da Yan, those who were expelled because of being infected were either those who encountered natural disasters and their homes were destroyed, or those who had to leave their homes due to turmoil in their hometowns.

It is certain that they have some resentment towards the Great Yan court, so now that they heard that they have Chen Qi's support, they can finally express their resentment, and of course they signed up very enthusiastically.

“Then we can only pray that Director Chen Qi won’t cause too much trouble this time…” Kal’tsit also sighed, and refocused her gaze on the Imperial City, saying lightly: “We’re here.”

……

Two rather large land aircraft carriers slowly sailed to the imperial city, and there were already people waiting to greet them at the east gate of the imperial city. However, it was somewhat unexpected that the Emperor of Dayan actually came here in person, apparently to welcome Chen Qi.

Beside the Emperor of Great Yan, Wei Yanwu and the Grand Tutor, who had arrived early, stood on both sides, while the officials and well-equipped guards on both sides had already formed an artificial passage. The Emperor of Great Yan obviously welcomed Chen Qi's arrival on the grandest scale, and it could even be described as looking forward to it.

"Marquis Liewen, you really kept me waiting." When the Emperor of Dayan saw Chen Qi leading Tallulah, Xi and Nian and others coming, he took the initiative to step forward enthusiastically.

Although this was the first time that the Great Yan Emperor and Chen Qi met, in fact, the two had tested each other's attitudes many times. Now, the Great Yan Emperor finally confirmed the Great Yan's friendly attitude towards Chen Qi, and naturally became more familiar with him.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. We encountered a minor setback in Leitania, and it took another month to repair the ship, which delayed us for a while."

Chen Qi had not expected that the Great Yan Emperor would come to greet him personally. Although as a modern man, he obviously had less respect for the word "emperor", but he also knew that in front of all the officials, he still had to give some dignity to the Great Yan Emperor who gave him enough face.

"Fortunately, these two months are enough for me to perfect the script. It is not a waste of time. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. Let's not talk about the script today."

The Great Yan Emperor waved his hand and brushed aside the filming. He then took the initiative to give up a seat, and two familiar figures came forward. Xi and Nian also looked very surprised and shouted:

"Brother, sister? Why are you here?"

"I asked them to come." The Great Yan Emperor was very satisfied with Xi and Nian's attitude, and immediately smiled and said, "I have heard the advice of the Grand Tutor before, that is, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. Now, in addition to Nian and Xi who are by Marquis Liewen's side, Ling has also been living in seclusion for many years and is quite quiet in Shangshu. I think that he, like Chongyue, can be freed from surveillance."

"Therefore, I specially asked Master Linghe Zhongyue to come here, firstly to allow these four brothers and sisters to have a simple reunion, and secondly, to show my determination."

"Finally... let them help Marquis Liewen, so that this masterpiece of Marquis Liewen can be more colorful."

To put it bluntly, the Emperor of Great Yan is expressing an attitude to other "year-olds". If you behave yourself, Great Yan will not touch you and will even consider giving you freedom. Now, except for the second brother who has no way back, other year-olds can still fight for it.

Allowing "Sui" to directly participate in the filming of Chen Qi's script can be regarded as a friendly signal to "Sui"'s other brothers and sisters, as well as other giant beasts outside the Great Yan. Although the Great Yan Emperor does not hold an attitude of reconciliation with the giant beasts, it is good to have one less thing to worry about, even if there is one internal and external trouble.

As long as Dayan can seize the time, restore national strength, and make use of the few peerless secret books sent by Chen Qi, it will not be impossible to completely eliminate the giant beast problem in the future.

"Director Chen Qi." Zhongyue seemed to be in a very good mood today. Obviously, he and his brothers and sisters were happy that they could finally escape surveillance and regain their freedom. Facing his thirteenth brother in front of him, Zhongyue also bowed, showing both respect and closeness.

"You must be the famous Director Chen Qi. You are able to subdue our two troublesome sisters. Seeing is believing."

Ling, who had a slightly red cheek and looked like he had drunk a lot, looked at Chen Qi half drunk and half awake. Ling naturally knew Chen Qi's identity from Zhongyue. Looking at this Thirteenth Brother who appeared out of thin air, Ling also looked at Chen Qi curiously with his drunken eyes.

But maybe it was because Ling was not drunk enough, but her drunken look, which she thought was perfect, attracted two gazes. One was from Tallulah, who subconsciously hugged Chen Qi's arm, and the other... was from Ximei, who was behind Chen Qi, staring at her with an unprecedented terrifying look.

Tallulah could understand, but Xi's look made Ling stunned for a moment. As a woman, Ling was more thoughtful than her elder brother Chongyue in some aspects. She immediately pretended to be joking and said:

"Don't worry, I won't steal your man."

Sure enough, as soon as Ling finished speaking, the aggressiveness in Tallulah's eyes suddenly dropped a lot, but as Xi slowly relaxed, Ling, who appeared calm on the surface, immediately sounded an alarm bell in his heart!

This matter...must be taken seriously. She needs to discuss it with her eldest brother.

"Okay, everyone, please go to the palace. If you have anything to say, just follow me to the palace and we will talk."

The Emperor of Dayan saw everything but said nothing. He and Wei Yanwu just looked at each other and decided to discuss the matter later.

Soon, riding in the exclusive car of the Dayan Palace, all the officials performed grand ceremony to see the emperor off, and Chen Qi and the representatives of Rhodes Island also followed them into the palace.

When they arrived at the East Palace, Chen Qi and others found that many people were already waiting there. Most of them were people that Chen Qi had asked Chen Huijie to go to Longmen to ask for help. In addition to Chen Huijie, the Rat King and his daughter, and everyone from the Laoli Detective Agency were there.

Chen Qi even met Huai Tianpei, who also smiled and bowed to Chen Qi.

"Director Chen Qi is really generous. You almost emptied the entire Longmen. I had no choice but to send officials to take charge of Longmen on behalf of my brother and his wife."

The Great Yan Emperor slowly sat down, motioned for everyone to take their seats, and then showed Chen Qi a somewhat emotional smile. He did not beat around the bush and directly said:

"Now that everyone is here, Director Chen Qi, can you tell me about the arrangement for your filming? I have issued an edict that all locations in the palace are allowed for you and the crew to film. I have asked the Grand Tutor to personally review the use of the palace venues, and I will get back to you as soon as possible."

"Of course, there are also things you want to use, such as the dragon throne, dragon robes, and court attendance, etc. I have approved them all. After all, it is just a filming. There will be no real memorials or policies to be implemented through the filming."

The Emperor of Dayan was very generous, but Wei Yanwu on the side had a bitter look on his face - he had asked his younger brother to secretly help review memorials since the first day he arrived in the imperial city, under the pretext of "letting his brother get a taste of what it's like to be an emperor in advance. Even if he plays a tyrant, he is still a king after all, and he cannot fail to review memorials."

Then, Wei Yanwu had been in the palace for a month, and he had been helping his brother review memorials for a month. His workload at Longmen, which was almost as much as 007's, had more than doubled...

Wei Yanwu was only in charge of approval, and the Emperor of Dayan was in charge of review. The efficiency was high, but the most tiring work fell on Wei Yanwu, and he was really exhausted during this period.

And now, Chen Qi's play is about to start shooting, and I am afraid that my younger brother will really become a hands-off boss and plan to exchange fate with him.

However, just when Wei Yanwu was feeling bitter, Chen Qi stood up in time after hearing what he said. But unexpectedly, with such meticulous arrangements made by the Emperor of Dayan, Chen Qi still wanted more arrangements.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, our scene still needs some arrangements. We don't have enough actors yet. I want to borrow some Dayan officials for filming. The list is ready. It depends on whether Your Majesty the Emperor can approve it."

"Also, we don't need the main hall for this scene, and the dragon robe and throne are only used once, but we need to use the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, which is where we shoot most often for this drama."

"Also, we need to go to Jiangnan from time to time to shoot, so please allow your Majesty to greet the relevant officials in Jiangnan in advance and allow us to shoot."

"Jiangnan, Xiyuan?"

However, Chen Qi's successive requests made the Great Yan Emperor, who thought he was meticulous and had arranged everything long ago, show a rare expression of surprise. Even the Grand Tutor, Wei Yanwu and others did not expect that the main occasion of the play Chen Qi was going to shoot would be Xiwan.

"The West Garden is a garden within the palace. It has beautiful scenery and is a royal garden, but most of the residences there are a bit small." The Grand Tutor took the initiative to step forward and asked Chen Qi and the others about the things they were confused about. He asked:

"Director Chen Qi, I heard that you are filming a scene related to the Great Yan Palace. If so, there should be a palace for meetings. There is no palace in the West Garden that can accommodate hundreds of officials to hold meetings. Please think twice."

"Master Taifu, this is related to the protagonist of our play. To be honest, we don't need the hall at all, because we don't need so many people to discuss matters."

Chen Qi smiled and replied. However, he had long known that the protagonist of Chen Qi's drama was a tyrant emperor with the reign title "Jiajing". When he heard that he was actually discussing matters in the West Garden, the Grand Tutor could not help but frown and asked:

"The Xiyuan Palace is so small that it can only accommodate 20 ministers at most. Wouldn't that be a disservice to the government?"

"Director Chen Qi, may I ask, what is the name of this play? What kind of person is Emperor Jiajing?"

"In that case, I'll be honest and tell you about our show first."

Chen Qi realized that if he couldn't explain clearly, the filming might be delayed. So he immediately told everyone about the TV series they were going to shoot, all the important figures in Da Yan.

"I named this TV series "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566"."

"1566? Is this the year?" Everyone was a little confused when they heard the number "1566". Fortunately, Chen Huijie, who was listening, thought of this first and quickly got Chen Qi's approval. He said:

"Yes, the reign of Emperor Jiajing ended in 1566 with his own death, so I used the year 1566 as part of the title."

"As for Emperor Jiajing, according to my setting, he is the successor of our Great Yan Emperor, but he is not the descendant of Your Majesty, but the descendant of our Duke Wei - of course, it's all fictional, Duke Wei and Madam Wenyue have no children, so this is a completely IF line."

"Oh? My descendants?" Wei Yanwu was a little curious when he heard it, but then he felt a strange joy, because he realized that the child that Chen Qi set up in the TV series was actually a tyrant.

Could it be that this kid is already hinting that his uncle is not fit to be the emperor, so he is using this setting to make his brother give up the idea of ​​giving the throne to him?

Well, you finally have some conscience and don't let your uncle down.

However, Wei Yanwu did not know that Chen Qi had no such intention at all. He just set it up like this to cater to the background of the character of Emperor Jiajing. Jiajing originally came to power under the name of "the younger brother succeeds the elder brother" because the previous emperor Zhu Houzhao had no descendants. Jiajing, who originally had little chance of succession, finally came to power.

Wei Yanwu and Emperor Dayan were brothers, but Chen Qi couldn't just film a scene where Wei Yanwu was Emperor Jiajing, as that would be a slap in Wei's face. Therefore, he had to put this "stigma" on Wei's son, who would be born in who knows how long.

In this way, the bloodline of the current emperor will not be discredited, and it can also hint to the Emperor of Dayan that the son of Old Wei was not the "virtuous" one who became the emperor, so you can rest assured and let him have descendants.

"What are the characteristics of my brother's descendant... Emperor Jiajing?" When Emperor Dayan heard that he was the descendant of his brother, he was inexplicably happy. He was probably happy that Chen Qi hinted that Wei Yanwu would definitely become the emperor in the future and that he could step down from this position, so he asked curiously.

On the side, Wen Yue, who was helping everyone make tea in the backyard and not showing up, pricked up her ears with curiosity, wanting to hear what the giant Chen Qi had to say about this fictional "son" of him and Wei Yanwu.

However, Chen Qi just smiled slightly, facing everyone, and said the first comment to Emperor Jiajing:

"Emperor Jiajing can be called a remarkable man, gifted with extraordinary talents, and the art of political manipulation can be called the best king of Da Yan! Fighting against various forces in the palace, he still firmly controls the politics, economy, military and people's livelihood of Da Yan, and plays all officials in the palm of his hand."

"hiss--"

However, when Chen Qi made such a comment, everyone present took a deep breath and then looked at Wei Yanwu with awe.

You kid, you want to kill me?!

However, facing the surprised and shocked eyes of the crowd, Wei Yanwu cursed Chen Qi in his heart. Where is the tyrant emperor? ! You don't sound like that!

Chapter 270: Characteristics of Emperor Jiajing and the roles played by each of you

"In the Great Yan Palace, the power of the officials is complicated, most of them have intertwined interests, and there are also internal struggles. To dare to say that he can play with all the officials in the palm of his hand... even the late emperor..."

When the Grand Tutor heard this, he could not help but sigh. As a veteran minister of two dynasties, he was originally promoted by the Great Yan True Dragon, who helped him rise from a humble man to the current Grand Tutor. He knew very well that under the prosperity of the Great Yan Dynasty, there were actually undercurrents in the court, and ministers were fighting each other, which had caused many problems.

That is, after the broadcast of "Yes, Prime Minister", the Emperor of Dayan found an excuse to rectify the court, and the situation improved. In addition, Dayan is now facing internal and external troubles, giant beasts, evil demons, sea heirs... many problems, Dayan can be said to be the backbone of the country, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. In fact, everyone in the court lives in anxiety and has little time for internal fighting.

With so many prerequisites, the prosperity of Dayan was able to continue. However, even so, there were still some internal struggles and competitions between the Grand Tutor and the Grand Marshal, and there were also many struggles among the three provinces and six ministries... Although everyone said that they did not form cliques for personal gain, this was an open secret, and everyone knew what it was like in private.
