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

But no matter what, at least for the people... an official like Hai Rui is worthy of praise from the people, because Hai Rui really petitions on behalf of the people. In this respect, he is much better than the countless hypocritical officials who fatten themselves on the people.

However, not long after, in front of the camera, only servants were seen slowly moving a chair and a small table to the front of Hai Rui's cell, and following them came a figure in a black robe.

Although he was wearing a black robe, Hai Rui could not see the other person's face clearly from the distance, but at this moment, with the camera, everyone could see that the man in the black robe was Emperor Jiajing played by Wei Yanwu!

"Jiajing covered his face with a black robe. This time, he did not interrogate Hai Rui as an emperor..."

At this moment, Jiajing's thoughts were quickly known to everyone. Wen Yue, who was standing by, nodded and said, "It seems that Jiajing wants to compete with Hai Rui on an equal footing."

It's funny to say that as an emperor, Jiajing didn't attend court for more than 20 years, and he didn't repent despite being criticized countless times. But at this time, Jiajing's competitive spirit actually drove him to compete with Hai Rui, and he disdained to use imperial power to suppress him.

This was a debate that was about reason and not status. Only by seeing it with his own eyes could Jiajing determine whether Hai Rui was someone he could control.

"With so many people interrogating you, you won't be convinced. The emperor asked me to tell you in advance what these people said against you, and he wanted to hear how you responded to them."

Jiajing concealed his identity and spoke slowly to Hai Rui. At this moment, Jiajing, the king of a country, turned his back to the blazing sun in the prison, but not a single ray of light shone on him. He was still wearing a black robe, and even though the sun was shining brightly behind him, he was still hidden in the darkness.

Hai Rui, a prisoner to be tried, was trapped in a dark and damp prison with only a ray of light behind her. However, she basked in the sunshine with a clear conscience, looking directly at all the darkness in front of her.

This scene is like a microcosm of the two people in the play. At this moment, after a brief introduction to Hai Rui, Jiajing asked his question:

"Who should be the first one to be called a wise ruler in the history of Great Yan?"

"The first choice should be Emperor Yanwen." Hai Rui immediately answered Jiajing's question, and Jiajing was not surprised to get such an answer, because Hai Rui had already written so in his public security memorial. But he still had more questions:

"Emperor Wen's virtue and his rule have been praised by all generations. But in your memorial to the emperor, you quoted the words of a madman under Emperor Wen's rule, and criticized him harshly. You used the words of Emperor Wen to belittle the current emperor!"

"Since you recognize Emperor Yanwen as a wise ruler, why do you blame him for being lazy and retiring, and neglecting many government matters? Is this an allusion to... the current emperor?"

However, when Jiajing asked this question, the faces of the officials of Dayan outside the screen changed. Because this question is not easy to answer, Emperor Wen of Yan is a recognized wise ruler of Dayan. If it weren't for Emperor Wen's painstaking efforts for more than a hundred years, their ancestors might not have had the family background to rebel against the gods.

It can be said that the fact that Great Yan can now stand proudly in the Terra Continent is due to the governance of Emperor Wen. However, Hai Rui's words now not only criticize Emperor Wen, but are also considered to be an allusion to Jiajing. If he does not answer well, he may be accused of "having no father and no monarch".

However, when asked such a sharp question, Hai Rui was not panicked at all. Under Jiajing's gaze, he simply replied calmly:

"This statement is not worth refuting."

"Not worth refuting, or no rebuttal?" Jiajing thought he had stumped Hai Rui, but Hai Rui said bluntly: "They didn't understand my memorial, and they couldn't understand it, so it's not worth refuting."

This sentence actually made Jiajing so angry that he laughed. He wanted to see today how capable Hai Rui was, and insisted on getting an answer from Hai Rui.

However, facing Jiajing's aggressiveness, Hai Rui was silent for a long time before he determined that the man in front of him was most likely a die-hard fan of Jiajing and probably knew nothing about what his master was doing, so he finally spoke frankly.

However, after hearing this wave of blunt remarks, Jiajing was so furious that he gritted his teeth.

"Emperor Yanwen did not respect the ancient sages, but only respected the principles of nature and ruled by inaction. Therefore, he had the shortcomings of being lazy and retiring, and neglecting government affairs. However, I still believe that Emperor Wen was a wise ruler, because Emperor Wen had the virtues of being close to the people, being kind, forgiving, respectful and frugal, and taking the people's heart as his own, and living and recuperating with the people."

"But the current emperor...thinks he is following the example of Emperor Wen in everything he does. He has not attended court for twenty years and calls it 'ruling by doing nothing'."

"Amending laws and setting up rituals is actually a massive construction project. They treat officials as domestic slaves and the national treasury as private property. They use one person to win the hearts of the people and do nothing to give the people time to rest and recuperate. This has led to extravagance and greed among the people, and has depleted the people's wealth. The country is in chaos and people are suffering."

"If you ask me to be frank...Even though Emperor Yanwen was a virtuous man, he still had the problem of abolishing his government."

"The current emperor...is far inferior to Emperor Yanwen."

Hai Rui's words can be summed up in one sentence - is the current emperor qualified to touch Emperor Wen? He is really far from it.

But just this one sentence made Jiajing feel his blood boiling, and the power of a real dragon was difficult to contain. At this moment, everyone could feel Jiajing's indignation and the humiliation of having his fig leaf lifted through the screen.

This is something that no monarch could accept. Not to mention Jiajing in the play, even the Great Yan Emperor and Wei Yanwu themselves could not accept Hai Rui's words. It is conceivable how offensive Hai Rui's words were to the monarch.

"It's all thanks to Hui Jie for holding on... She can be considered the heir of the true dragon's blood, and she's the only one who can handle it without being stage frightened."

Facing the faint sense of oppression from the might of the real dragons on and off the screen, Chen Qi could only hope that Chen Huijie could withstand the pressure. But what Chen Qi didn't know was that Chen Huijie was now acting almost as herself, she remembered every line exactly, and if she were asked to give advice, she would definitely do the same thing as Hai Rui.

Now, like Wei Yanwu, she has almost merged with her role. She has not yet spoken any more advice to Hai Rui.

PS: Today is the third chapter! (Another 5k-word chapter. Ah, I am exhausted again. I should write the final climax of the Great Yan Dynasty as soon as possible... I am so exhausted while writing...)

Volume 330: Chapter : Chen Huijie integrates Hai Rui's philosophy? The king who was scolded and vomited blood

Chen Huijie has played Hai Rui for some time, and she has indeed found that she and Hai Rui have many similarities, such as straightforwardness in character, strength in the face of power, and justice in the face of evil.

But in Chen Huijie's heart, she knew very well that she was not as good as Hai Rui in Chen Qi's play.

Chen Huijie is not afraid of power because she has power behind her. In Da Yan, apart from the emperor, how many people have a stronger background than Chen Huijie? Therefore, Chen Huijie is completely confident and fearless. When she was a senior superintendent in Longmen, Lao Wei also helped her many times.

What about Hai Rui? Hai Rui in the play was born in a poor family and was raised by his mother. Hai Rui's character, confidence, and education... all of his conditions were not as good as Chen Huijie's.

But Hai Rui is as strong as her, and even has greater ambitions than her. Moreover, Hai Rui is not just a simple loyal minister. The ability shown in the play shows that Hai Rui is very clear about the affairs of the court and the country. He is not just passionate about serving the country, but he has recognized everything, but still does not go along with the beasts in human clothing just because of the current situation.

Hai Rui does not have Chen Huijie's background, education and martial arts, but he can do greater things than Chen Huijie. Today, Chen Huijie, who plays such a role, can be said to have more admiration for the character and wants to carry out the image of this character to the end.

She would not allow the role of "Hai Rui" to be lacking due to her own shortcomings. And the reason why Chen Huijie is not afraid at all and has no stage fright at all is because of this belief.

Hai Rui was not afraid of the imperial power, so why should Chen Huijie be afraid? Therefore, facing the power of the real dragon released by Wei Yanwu, Chen Huijie endured it without changing her expression.

What Chen Huijie didn't notice was that during the confrontation between her and Wei Yanwu, there was a power in her body that made her feel hot all over, and it was quietly awakening... This made Chen Huijie even more fearless, and she said word by word:

"The Great Yan Dynasty has tens of thousands of officials, but no one dares to speak to the emperor. If I don't speak, the glorious history books will tell it to future generations."

"Please ask the officials who want to refute me to pass on my words. They didn't say anything, but I said it alone. How can it be an insinuation?"

"I said it alone, but the officials refuted it. Do they want the emperor to be cursed for generations to come?"

However, the words of Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, had completely angered Jiajing. At this moment, Wei Yanwu, who played Jiajing, showed signs of being irritated because of Chen Huijie's previous lines.

Wei Yanwu has also played the role of Emperor Jiajing for a long time. Although Emperor Jiajing can be said to be a very explosive existence, even if we look at the emperors of the Yan Dynasty in history, the filming over a year and more, Wei Yanwu's so many "I"s are not in vain.

Although Wei Yanwu has never filmed a scene in the palace or worn a dragon robe, the more realistic he is when playing the role of an emperor, the stronger the influence of the emperor's aura on him. In addition, under the subtle influence of his younger brother, although Wei Yanwu is no longer an emperor, his aura of an emperor is already natural.

As for Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie, a minister who disrespects his superiors, even if the king knows that what she says is right, he will never allow such a person to challenge his imperial power! This is the king's bottom line!

Wei Yanwu, who was slightly angry, almost squeezed out a word from between his teeth and said:

"Are you the only one who is a loyal, good, and wise minister?"

"…I am just a direct minister."

"A loyal minister without a father or a king?!"

However, Wei Yanwu's curse was completely in accordance with the script. It was not known whether it was because of the realistic performance or the overflow of the power of the real dragon. At this moment, Chen Huijie was deeply hurt by these words, which seldom knew about the weakness in her heart.

In front of the camera, Chen Huijie's eyes, which were full of tears and determination, showed a heartbreaking and fragile expression for the first time. This scene also made all the officials in the lounge couldn't help but praise:

"Mr. Chen's acting skills are really amazing. She is not at all inferior to Lord Wei in the rivalry."

"Yes, I thought Lord Wei's performance of Jiajing was already superb, but I didn't expect that Chen Junjun could actually carry the role."

"This hurt look... oh, it really brings out Hai Rui's rare weakness."

However, although all the officials of Dayan were feeling emotional, few knew Chen Huijie's background clearly. Only some older officials could understand the heartbreak in Chen Huijie's eyes.

"...Director Chen Qi, this line of yours really hurts Xiao Chen's heart."

And now, even Mrs. Wen Yue, who was sitting not far from Chen Qi, could not hide her sadness when she heard Wei Yanwu in front of the camera really yell out this line and Chen Huijie's heartbreaking eyes. She said to Chen Qi beside her with a little bit of blame:

"You probably gave this role to Xiao Chen not just because of this line, right? If so, even if I were your aunt, I would have to punish you."

"How could that be... I really think Hui Jie can perform the essence of Hai Rui, so I decided to choose her. Only she can handle this role." Chen Qi now felt a little embarrassed when facing Wen Yue beside him, and even Tallulah's suspicious eyes... He really didn't think it through.

Chen Qi initially asked Chen Huijie to play Hai Rui because he thought she could handle the rivalry with Wei Yanwu. After all, Wei Yanwu's blood of a true dragon is very pure. How could an ordinary person possibly handle the rivalry with him? Just this scene, I'm afraid she would be scared out of her wits.

After much thought, Chen Qi thought that only Chen Huijie and Tallulah could handle the role and withstand the pressure from Wei Yanwu. But Tallulah didn't look like a Yan countryman, so only Chen Huijie could do it.

It was just this line... Chen Qi hadn't really considered it at the time. This line really made Chen Huijie feel sad, because on a family level, Chen Huijie could really empathize with Hai Rui.

Hai Rui lost his father at a young age, and Chen Huijie lost her mother at a young age, and she has no memory of her biological father. To her, Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue are her parents. Such an excuse may provide some comfort, but it cannot change the fact that this is Chen Huijie's scar.

But because of this, Chen Huijie expressed the emotions in this section just right. After the expression of enduring pain and swallowing bitterness, Wei Yanwu, who was looking at Chen Huijie in front of the camera, also realized belatedly that he had said the wrong thing.

But Wei Yanwu also had no intention of giving in. He suppressed his pain and looked into Chen Huijie's eyes. At that moment, it was as if time and space had intersected... It was as if on a certain day, in a certain time and space, Wei Yanwu really became the emperor, and Chen Huijie stood opposite him, facing the minister who would hurt him if he killed him, but posed a great threat if he didn't.

"Sir... could you please convey my words to the Emperor?" After a long while, Chen Huijie finally came back to his senses and said to Jiajing with a trembling voice:

"…I lost my father when I was four years old. My mother raised me alone and remained faithful to me. When I became an official, she taught me earnestly: Although you have no father, since you are receiving salary from the emperor, the emperor is your father."

When Chen Huijie's last words "You are your father" fell, everyone present trembled in their hearts along with her tone, and now Chen Huijie, who was truly moved, continued to say:

"In fact, I am not the only one who regards the emperor as a father. All people in the world regard the emperor as a father."

"… Unfortunately, the current emperor does not regard the people as his own. Since he has been favoring the Yan Party, officials from the 24 yamen in the palace have been sent to all levels, from the court to the provinces, prefectures, cities, and counties. All the officials have regarded the people as their prey."

"The Emperor lives in the Western Garden, devoted to cultivation. When has he ever noticed the sufferings of the people? When has he ever thought about... Tens of millions of people, although they have a king, they have no father; although they have officials, they are like thieves. The two capitals and thirteen provinces are all babies waiting to die of hunger and cold, and fish waiting to be cut by knives and chopping boards."

"Father, do you know?"

“——cough cough cough cough!!”

However, after Chen Huijie in the camera had just finished speaking these words that moved all the officials and weighed heavily on the audience, he never expected that Jiajing, played by Wei Yanwu in the play, would be trembling all over and leaning weakly on the chair, while outside the play, the Great Yan Emperor suddenly covered his chest and started coughing violently.

It was this violent coughing that frightened all the officials and they immediately gathered around him. The Grand Tutor immediately supported the body of the Great Yan Emperor who was coughing non-stop, and immediately asked with concern:

"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you? Call the imperial physician! Quick!"

"No need - I just feel suddenly tired..."

The Emperor of Dayan also turned pale in an instant, and began to sweat all over his body as if he had fainted, as if he had been seriously injured.

However, in reality, with the strength of the Emperor of Dayan, it is impossible for anyone to secretly hurt him. The Emperor of Dayan was just moved by the words of Hai Rui, played by Chen Huijie. As an emperor of Dayan, listening to the words of the ministers who gave direct advice saying that Dayan was so unbearable and the people were so miserable, when he thought of what he had done now, he felt a pain in his heart, but he didn't know who to be angry with.

The prosperous Great Yan that had been built up through the hard work of so many generations of kings...had turned into this after his death. How could a king of Great Yan not feel heartbroken?

Why did Dayan become like this in the drama? Is it entirely because of Jiajing?

Perhaps Jiajing was the real cause, but in the play, why did so many hidden drawbacks of Dayan burst out at once after he and Wei Yanwu died? Was it just that he had been on the throne for too long and didn't notice it at all?

Just as Hai Rui said in the play... Living in the West Garden, he devoted himself to cultivation - isn't he the same? Living in the palace, he only cares about state affairs, but has he ever seen the people and heard about their livelihood?

Can I really be called a wise ruler as I am now?

These words kept flashing through the mind of the Great Yan Emperor, but Hai Rui's words had completely destroyed his confidence... He felt that he might be an important reason for the eventual decline of the Great Yan, just like in the drama, and that he... might have planted the seeds of disaster for future generations.

At this moment, Jiajing, played by Wei Yanwu in the play, felt so angry that Hai Rui's words made his heart ache and a trickle of blood come out of his nostrils. It can be said that he was so angry that he was bleeding from all seven orifices.

When Chen Huijie saw this scene, he immediately reacted and lost his previous seriousness. He immediately shouted:

"Someone come quickly!"

"boom!"

However, just as Chen Huijie finished speaking, all the guards around suddenly rushed out. It was not until Mr. Shi from the Imperial Household Department, who had been talking to Hai Rui before, appeared that Hai Rui suddenly realized that the person who had just been scolded by him and had a nosebleed was actually Jiajing.

"——I will give you eight words."

At this moment, Jiajing, who was trembling all over and speaking in a hoarse voice and in a trance, gave Hai Rui his eight-character comment, squeezing out words from between his teeth:

"Without a father or a king, I abandon my country and my family."

After saying this, Jiajing's entire body collapsed, and he and his chair were carried away by a group of guards. Only Hai Rui was left, and she bowed deeply to Jiajing... to express her final apology.

Hai Rui won the debate, but it was a miserable victory. Jiajing's words basically represented that Hai Rui had not only lost his biological father, but also indicated that he had completely offended the dignity of Jiajing, the emperor and father, and completely confirmed his disrespect for the emperor and father. It turned out that "loyalty and filial piety" had been rejected by Jiajing.

PS: First chapter today!

Volume 331: Chapter : Emperor Da Yan: My health is failing, brother, please take over as regent for me

Chen Qi's one-day performance was finally announced to be over. The debate between Hai Rui and Zhao Zhenji and Jiajing ended with Zhao Zhenji's reputation ruined and Jiajing fainting from blood reversal. Hai Rui won a great victory.

In the end, Jiajing directly ordered all officials to convict Hai Rui, forcing Zhao Zhenji, played by him, to face Chen Hong, who was determined to expose Hai Rui's accomplices, and had to say, "Officials in the court, no matter who is the emperor or father, but only who are friends, are cliques," which made him alienated by his friends and relatives. That's all a story for later.

But now, Chen Qi has a more important and more troublesome problem to deal with - that is the Emperor of Dayan who has suddenly fallen ill.

"What? After watching my play, Old Wei is fine, but His Majesty the Emperor is in trouble first?"

When Chen Qi received this news from Liang Xun, he felt his head buzzing. Ever since he broke Victoria's heart with "Yes, Prime Minister", Chen Qi felt the lack of brain capacity again for the first time in a long time.

Well, Old Wei was not completely fine. Although the scene with Chen Huijie was just acting, it still touched the pain point in Chen Huijie's heart that she didn't want to be touched. Especially since this incident was also heartbreaking for Wei Yanwu himself, saying these words to his niece was a huge psychological burden for Old Wei.

Originally, before the performance, Lao Wei had prepared a blood bag for himself. If the effect was not good, he would puncture the blood bags on his teeth and nose. However, after being scolded by Chen Huijie, he almost vomited blood and really didn't need the blood bag anymore.

Now, Wei Yanwu was supported by Wen Yue and Chen Huijie to go to the imperial physician for a physical examination. He should be fine. But the sudden illness of the Great Yan Emperor did make Chen Qi nervous. He didn't want to cause a big drama in Great Yan where the Great Yan Emperor died of high blood pressure due to watching a play.

By then, let alone whether Nian and Xi could be pardoned by Dayan, I am afraid that I and everyone in the crew would be charged with the crime of "maliciously plotting to murder the king of Dayan" and would be hunted down by the entire country of Dayan.

As for "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566"... it will definitely be judged as the root of chaos. Not to mention being broadcast, it will definitely be destroyed as a banned drama in Great Yan. Moreover, if they offend Great Yan, I'm afraid that few countries in the Terra continent will dare to shelter them anymore - not even Tracys would dare.

Fortunately, the worst outcome that Chen Qi had imagined did not happen. The Great Yan Emperor was ill, but not completely ill. After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he quickly came to the conclusion:

"Everyone, don't worry. Your Majesty has been overworked recently and is exhausted. He was also overwhelmed by the stimulation and he collapsed. In addition, he used the power of the True Dragon several times in a row, so he was physically exhausted and his heartbeat became irregular."

"Although the problem is not serious, you need to rest for a while. You must not overwork yourself, otherwise many complications may take advantage of the opportunity and hurt your majesty's body."

At the Imperial Hospital, the imperial physician promptly reported the diagnosis results to Chen Qi, the Imperial Tutor, and others. Facing the slightly anxious Tallulah and Chen Huijie, he immediately responded:
