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

"I... dare not." Little Wanli answered Jiajing's question tearfully, and this answer made Jiajing very satisfied. He was obviously very optimistic about the talents that little Wanli had shown now. He believed that this child would surely surpass his father in the future!

"It's good that you know you don't dare." At this moment, Jiajing also passed on his last imperial mind to his most promising grandson, and warned him word by word:

"I'm telling you. Anything anyone promises you doesn't count. Only things you decide for yourself count. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Looking at the crying little Wanli, Jiajing naturally felt a little bit reluctant, but now, in order to pass on all his imperial skills to future monarchs, he had to swallow the pain and let his grandson abandon all his fantasies.

He could have carefully taught his grandson how to become a king, but now he no longer has the time... He can only pass on the idea that "the emperor is the most ruthless" to his grandson.

After little Wanli left, Jiajing stared at the back of his grandson. Having just imparted to his grandson the idea that "only he can be relied on", Jiajing still had a glimmer of hope in his heart... He hoped that his grandson would look back, even if it was just a reluctant look to give him some comfort.

But in the end, none of this fantasy happened. Watching the back of little Wanli as he left, Jiajing knew that the emperor's grandson had heard what he said...but he had also lost his last dearest relative.

Everyone thought that Jiajing was ruthless. Jiajing, who was like "two dragons never meeting each other", should be a political animal who was extremely indifferent to family affection. But who would have thought that Jiajing, who was the most indifferent to all this, was actually the one who desired all this the most.

"My grandson... doesn't even want to acknowledge me..."

Hurt comes from the heart. At this moment, Jiajing's spirit finally collapsed completely. He has become a lonely man. No one in this world can understand him or recognize him anymore. No one, whether it is the king, father, or grandfather, even though he is extremely smart, he has nothing left...

"Father, what's wrong with you, Father?!"

When Prince Yu saw his father's will collapse, his first reaction was not to be excited about his own succession, but to immediately support Jiajing. But Jiajing, holding on to his last bit of spirit, issued a final decree to his son:

"Carry...carry me to the couch."

"--yes!"

With the agreement of Prince Yu, played by the Emperor of Dayan, Prince Yu in the play slowly carried on his back the emperor and father who had always been indifferent to him; and the Emperor of Dayan in reality also carried on his back his royal brother who once had "deep hatred" with him.

“…Can you carry it?”

"If you can carry it, I can carry it."

At this moment, it seemed that all the grievances and grudges disappeared under the actions of the two. Both Prince Yu and Emperor Da Yan knew very well that they were not carrying people on their backs, but the Da Yan country entrusted to them by the people on their backs.

No matter whether it is Prince Yu or Emperor Dayan, they must be able to carry this mountain on their backs, no matter how shattered or majestic it is.

And now in this scene of the dragon on the back of the dragon, everyone understood that this was the signal that Jiajing's life was about to reach the camera. At this time, the Taifu, who had been silent all the time, took the initiative to stand up and looked at the king played by Wei Yanwu with solemn eyes.

The Grand Tutor stood up on his own initiative, and gradually, every Dayan official present also watched Jiajing see off with the same etiquette. Now in the eyes of all of them, Jiajing's image has been completely rounded out, and no matter his merits and demerits, they are willing to regard him as a true "Dayan Emperor" worthy of their recognition.

And in the end, Jiajing had to give his final will to Dayan, putting what he thought was the best end to his absurd life.

PS: Today is the third chapter! (Ah, I’m so tired, I’m typing slower and slower, Kurushi… paralyzed… I’m going to take a nap first, no matter how I move, there will be no response, paralyzed…)

Volume 336: Chapter 1566: Jiajing's final decree, the end of "The Great Yan Dynasty "

Logically speaking, the prosperous Great Yan, which has experienced several generations of wise rulers, should follow the ancestral precepts of "appointing the wise and the elder, and the wise as the ruler". The officials of the prosperous Great Yan should criticize and disapprove of the emperor Jiajing who neglected state affairs and treated officials and the people badly.

I'm afraid that when choosing a temple name, they would have to choose a not-so-good one for Jiajing. "Shenzong" and "Gaozong" are both too polite.

But no matter what, Jiajing finally came to his senses and began to use his life's insights and experiences to benefit future generations and consider the descendants of Dayan in the last few hours of his life. At this moment, he deserves the title of "Emperor".

The emperor and father had been confused for half his life, and at the end of his life he wanted to leave something for his children. No matter how absurd he had been in the past, at least at this moment, all the officials of Dayan were willing to regard him as the "emperor and father" and listen solemnly to his last words.

"What happened? Why did they all stand up all of a sudden?" The man who was originally immersed in the plot noticed the changes around him. Just when he was about to say something, Ling beside him covered his mouth.

"Don't talk at this time, my dear sister." Ling covered Nian's mouth while staring at the scene on the screen. At this moment, there was no trace of drunkenness in Ling's eyes. He looked more serious than before and said softly:

"This is the end of a monarch. No matter what, give this repentant Emperor Jiajing some respect as a monarch."

After Ling's words fell, the scene returned to a silent and heavy atmosphere. Everyone was silent, watching the final demise of this king...

In the play, at the signal of Jiajing, Prince Yu, played by the Emperor of Dayan, took out the bronze chime that Jiajing had been using, as well as the bronze stick used to strike the bronze chime. Prince Yu slowly opened a hidden opening at the end of the bronze stick and took out three copies of the will that Jiajing had hidden for who knows how long.

The deeper he got into it, the more Jiajing had already thought about it. The first edict was a recent event. Jiajing said calmly:

"The King of Chu died...with no heir, and many of the vassal kings around his fiefdom wanted his estates."

"We, the royal family...really owe the people too much."

This emperor, who had always focused on the interests of his own monarch, spoke for the first time in his life about issues that he considered from the perspective of the people. Whether it was a sudden awakening or a desire to make decisions for the people at the end of his life and accumulate some good karma, Jiajing spoke out the best solution for the people:

"I will not give the King of Chu's land to them! A total of 1,457,326 acres, all of which will be returned to the people who farmed for the King of Chu."

"Tomorrow, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to send someone to handle this matter... This will be the last time I... make a decision on behalf of the people."

"…Father (Your Majesty) is wise and wise."

However, after Jiajing in the play issued such an edict, not only Prince Yu in the play, but also all the officials of Dayan outside the play, bowed and shouted in unison as proof of their approval of Jiajing's current approach.

Even if he was a wise ruler for only a few hours, as long as he really did something for the Dayan family, they would all recognize Jiajing as this ruler and father during this period of time.

The second thing was about Hai Rui. Prince Yu opened the second will, and at this moment, Jiajing's slightly tired but unprecedentedly resolute tone echoed again:

"Zhang Juzheng once said that Hai Rui is a sharp weapon for the country... This is a common saying."

"This Hai Rui is a divine sword of the Great Yan Dynasty! Only a virtuous person can wield it."

"I am a person of low virtue... you are more kind than me, so I will leave it to you."

At this point, Jiajing laughed at himself, as if he was laughing at himself for waking up too late. Otherwise, with Hai Rui's magic sword, his talent and ability, he would surely be able to overcome all obstacles.

Unfortunately, Jiajing himself no longer had this opportunity, so he could only pin his hopes of tearing a hole in the corrupt Dayan on his son and grandson.

"In the future, when we need to deal with corrupt officials or implement new systems, only this person can move forward without hesitation and be invincible."

It turned out that Jiajing had already thought of how to use Hai Rui. Although Jiajing often spoke disparagingly of Hai Rui, when the three dragons were together, Jiajing told Hai Rui all the emperor's thoughts, which was enough to prove that he put aside his own imperial dignity and respected and expected Hai Rui.

Even the words of promoting a "new system" were not something that any king had the courage to say. Every time a new system was promoted, it would inevitably offend the interests of the ruling class, and for Dayan, it would infringe on the interests of the vassal kings and officials.

Hai Rui was a sword that could, even on such an offensive path, clear away all obstacles for the king as long as the sword-holder held it tightly, making all officials tremble with fear! And this sword was just right for the slightly cowardly Prince Yu.

However, in the play, Prince Yu, played by the Emperor of Dayan, had already burst into tears. He raised his head and looked at Wei Yanwu in front of him, who looked like he was on the verge of death and his body was covered with dragon scales. Even though he knew that all this was acting and makeup, he still couldn't resist a trance.

It was as if... in a certain time and space, his elder brother became the emperor, but at the end of his life, he entrusted the Great Yanjiang Mountain to him.

Yes, the Emperor of Great Yan knew his brother. If he really let him succeed to the throne, he would definitely pave the way for his brother's future and leave him a stable Great Yan as much as possible. Because to Wei Yanwu, his brother was actually very similar to Prince Yu, and had always been a follower behind his elder brother.

Because he was not as talented as his elder brother, the Emperor of Great Yan seemed a little timid and shy since he was a child. It was not until Wei Yanwu ran away that he suddenly lost his father and the support of his elder brother, and he had to become strong, carrying the country of Great Yan and moving forward step by step with difficulty.

If it weren't for all this... they would have been such good brothers... why would they have to be so scheming?

"——Why are you crying? Listen to what I have to say."

Looking at his brother in front of him, with tears streaming down his face, Wei Yanwu forced out a smile and cursed, but soon returned to his original state and said:

"I have read this memorial submitted by Hai Rui to me no less than a hundred times. She once said that the officials could not understand her memorial, and no one could understand it - this is true."

"Hai Rui's intention is to think that our Great Yan Dynasty... is people-oriented, and the monarch and his subjects rule together. I have been in power for forty-five years, and I have always ruled alone."

Having said this, Wei Yanwu turned his gaze towards his younger brother. At this moment, what he wanted to say to his younger brother actually perfectly overlapped with what Jiajing said to Prince Yu:

"...You are too weak to do this. Let the cabinet and the six ministries and nine officials shoulder more responsibilities... and let wise ministers serve as chief ministers."

"...Reporting to the Emperor, Father." At this moment, Prince Yu, played by the Emperor of Great Yan, had already cried uncontrollably, but fortunately he still remembered his identity and asked intermittently:

"Who are the truly virtuous ministers in our Great Yan Dynasty? Please teach me, Father."

"There are no truly virtuous ministers." However, Jiajing and Wei Yanwu both gave their own sophisticated answers to such a question of lack of independent opinion: "Sometimes they have no say in whether they are virtuous or not."

"See clearly... employ people when they are virtuous, and discontinue them when they are not!"

"I have already arranged everything for you. Please read the third decree."

As Prince Yu took action, the paper soon turned visibly yellow. It was obvious that three names were written on the paper which had been hidden for quite some time. They were Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the three representatives of the Qingliu faction.

"I have already assigned these three people to be your masters. You can use them in the order in which their names are arranged."

Seeing the names of Xu, Gao and Zhang again, everyone finally understood how cunning Jiajing was. It turned out that the representatives of the Qingliu faction would gather around Prince Yu, which was the result of Jiajing's early arrangement. Jiajing trusted these three people and believed that they could all be trusted as the Prime Minister!

"Such an ability to judge people... Such a talent... What a pity, such a pity... He could have become a wise ruler."

Seeing this scene, Chongyue finally couldn't hide his regret. There was no way, Emperor Jiajing really made him feel regretful... In this short period of time before his death, he paved the way for the future of Da Yan for at least 30 years! If he could govern the country wholeheartedly, his achievements would not necessarily be inferior to those of the wise kings of Da Yan in history!

Thirty years is enough time for any king to understand the ways of the court and grow into a ruler who can govern the country. Jiajing's actions opened up a new path for Dayan.

However, Chongyue's sigh of regret hit the mark in the hearts of all the officials of Dayan who were present at the scene. Many of them secretly sighed that it was too late for Jiajing, while others were glad that Jiajing had come to his senses... There were even some who shed silent tears for the fact that Jiajing had just come to his senses and showed signs of becoming a wise ruler, but he had to die because of his own absurdity.

However, facing the road that his father had already paved, Prince Yu, who was placed high hopes by Jiajing, cried like a child. Obviously, these actions of Jiajing made the frightened Prince Yu understand how much his father cared about him.

For so many years, he always thought that Jiajing regarded him as a threat and might depose him or even kill him at any time. Now, he finally knew Jiajing's feelings for him, but he was about to lose the father who protected him from the wind and rain.

"Please give your order, Father... after these three people... who else will be there?"

Faced with his son's collapse, Jiajing, who was almost losing the majesty of a sovereign, showed a self-deprecating and tired smile. His eyes were filled with desolation and compassion, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

“…Only God knows.”

A lament, a self-mockery. Jiajing, who had wanted to become a god all his life, still placed his hopes on "heaven" and on God with his last words. He finally told his own absurdity and slowly closed his eyes.

He was tired, and all this... let it be.

"Father..."

Jiajing's body gradually lost its vitality. Along with the sorrowful cry of Prince Yu in the play, the sorrowful emotion quickly passed through the screen and infected all the officials of Dayan present.

No one knew who took the lead, but the first Dayan official cried inconsolably upon the death of Jiajing, and took the initiative to bid farewell to the emperor with great ceremony.

Then, the second, the tenth... one by one, the officials of Dayan, with sad emotions, spontaneously bowed deeply to Jiajing on the screen, bidding farewell to the future emperor of Dayan.

For a moment, in the hall which was temporarily used as a lounge, the sound of officials wailing continued. They were crying for Jiajing's sudden awakening, but it was too late. They were also sad that the Yan Dynasty was riddled with holes, but he was a wise ruler who only enjoyed a few hours.

At the same time, they were also moved by the final efforts Jiajing made for Prince Yu and his descendants. At this moment, all officials finally recognized this absurd but wise Emperor Jiajing.

At this time, Chen Qi looked at the officials who were crying bitterly and did not interrupt their sad emotions. Instead, he slowly explained the final ending of "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566" in a standard voice-over.

"On December 14, the 45th year of Emperor Jiajing's reign, Emperor Jiajing died. His temple name was 'Emperor Yanshizong' and his posthumous title was 'Emperor Qintianlidaoyingyishengshengxuanwenguangwuhongrendaxiaosu'."

"According to Yan Shi's Biography of Hai Rui, Hai Rui was so grief-stricken upon hearing the news that he vomited out all the food and drink he had eaten and died against the wall."

"In 1566, on December , the th year of Emperor Jiajing's reign, Prince Yu ascended the throne and named the country 'Longqing'. In accordance with the will of the late Emperor Shizong, 'the living will be called to office, the dead will be given a pardon, and those who have been imprisoned will be released and reinstated', he pardoned all the ministers who had made remonstrances, with Hai Rui as the representative. From this moment on, the prelude to the -year-long Longwan Reform was unveiled."

At this point, "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566" has come to an end.

Except for Chen Qi, no one knows the future fate of Dayan. Jiajing left behind the seeds of hope and a magic sword that could cut through all obstacles for his descendants. However, no one knows that this seemingly hopeful prelude will bring greater disappointment in the future.

But now, Jiajing's life has come to the best end. In the future land of Dayan, the people, officials, and even future kings of Dayan will remember this Emperor Jiajing who has never appeared in the land of Dayan again, but who will always serve as a warning to future generations.

His country's name also became a benchmark for the future of Great Yan. He himself became the standard for horizontal comparison of Great Yan's monarchs. From then on, the people of Great Yan used the word "Jiajing" to summarize the deeds of many monarchs who were wise in the early period but foolish in the later period, hoping to use this name to make them wake up.

In Terra, Jiajing's historical significance exceeds his original height, but at least it is certain that thousands of years later, everyone will remember that there was a king in Dayan who "was not recorded but really existed."

PS: First chapter today!

Volume 337: Chapter : The Da Yan brothers "forced the emperor to abdicate" for the throne

"So, Jiajing's final temple name is 'Emperor Yanshizong', which is quite appropriate. It is neither praise nor criticism, and it connects the past and the future. This temple name also means that the Great Yan Dynasty will start a new chapter from him."

The filming of "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566" has finally come to an end. Now that Wei Yanwu has taken off all his makeup and returned to his usual attire, he no longer feels the loneliness and powerlessness he felt when he "passed away".

It has to be said that Wei Yanwu's final performance was truly amazing. His acting skills were perfectly integrated with the image of "Jiajing" during the performance, and by doing this, it can be said that Wei Yanwu had completely understood the character of Jiajing, and understood that this character was not as "magical" as everyone thought.

After all, Jiajing was just a king who wanted to change at the beginning, but finally recognized the reality and was unable to do so, so he chose to grasp the imperial power and consolidate the throne instead of intervening in party struggles. He wanted to become a "god" because he wanted to break the current predicament and build his own personality, but he never thought that he would end up immersed in it.

Until the appearance of Hai Rui, this balance was broken. Jiajing also repeatedly confirmed that Hai Rui did not form a clique for personal gain and was a minister who could be "conquered" by him before deciding to use her. If Hai Rui's river really flooded the emperor's mountain, it could only mean that she was a powerful minister and would inevitably be a huge threat to Prince Yu's position in the future.

"It's strange, this Jiajing is obviously the least 'human' guy in the show, but in the last two episodes, it's all about Jiajing's feelings towards 'people'."

"This is probably the contradiction of the character of Jiajing." Facing the confusion raised by Tallulah at this moment, Chen Huijie, who had already escaped from the play, also answered while eating the feast provided by the palace:

"The most ruthless emperor turned out to be the one who feared no one to understand him and no one to trust him... But he always remembered that he was a king. In the end, he ended up like Hai Rui, with no one to rely on. It was a worthy death, wasn't it?"

Chen Huijie couldn't help but sigh, but at this moment, she quickly discovered something. She subconsciously looked around and immediately found something wrong.

"…Speaking of which, everyone just finished filming, why are we the only ones eating here?"

"Where are the officials of Dayan? Or where did the Emperor go?"

"I remember that the Emperor said hello to me before he left. He said that he wanted to discuss with all the officials the problems reported by Jiajing, as well as the compilation of the public security memorials and Jiajing's imperial mentality. They planned to compile a book around these so that it could be passed down to future generations."

Chen Qi also took the initiative to come forward at this time and answered Chen Huijie's question. Chen Qi is now busy editing "The Great Yan Dynasty" and will go to the Great Yan Emperor to broadcast it with the recommendation of the Great Yan Palace.

By then, he won't have to worry about the broadcast of "The Great Yan Dynasty 1566". Manfred had already made preparations early to take Chen Qi and the others to witness the moment of Kazdel's restoration, and was just waiting for Chen Qi to finish his work.

"So that means all the officials and the emperor are in the main hall?" Chen Huijie felt relieved after hearing this, but she did not notice that Wei Yanwu, who had been looking relaxed, suddenly froze. She continued:

"His Majesty the Emperor seems to have recovered very quickly. He was clearly very angry just half a month ago, but now he can not only act, but also govern again."

"Ah, does that mean that Old Wei doesn't have to continue being the regent?" Tallulah also reacted at this time. This was a good thing for Old Wei. He didn't want to be the regent in the first place, and now he could finally get rid of this hard job.

But at this moment, accompanied by a loud noise, Wei Yanwu suddenly stood up. Now he finally realized that something was wrong!
