Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 145 There is no two suns in the sky!

【The Divine Emperor is not blind.】

[You can't see Him when you look up, but you can see Him when you look down. If He takes a closer look, He will naturally notice something unusual about you!]

[Or rather, there's no need for Him to look closely at you, because you're too dazzling...]

【It is literally dazzling! 】

[Under the massive influx of divine power from the intruders, your divine power has soared thousands of times, from the level of an ordinary Jinyiwei to an inhuman level in one fell swoop... Although this level of divine power increase didn't drive you crazy or cause you to lose control of your divine power, it still made you feel a little uncomfortable.]

[The direct result of not adapting is that you will be covered in golden light...]

The divine power of the thieves alone is already so exaggerated, not to mention the divine power that the other crystal powders transferred to you upon their death... In short, under this infusion of divine power beyond your imagination, you will directly become a golden, multi-kilowatt sun!

[At night, you don't need to turn on the lights. Your light can illuminate the entire residence. No matter where you go, you will definitely be conspicuous...]

【True·"Prime Minister Zhou is like the sun, shining light wherever he goes"! 】

【True: "Wherever the Prime Minister's great hand reaches, light overflows!"】

Such a strange sight naturally astonished the people: What's going on? Has the Prime Minister accumulated so much merit that he's already achieved a golden body of merit?!

[Is he going to ascend to heaven in broad daylight?]

When the Korean people saw this scene, they didn't think about the "golden body of merit," but their reaction was even greater... At the sight of your radiance, the Korean people couldn't help but shed tears: As expected! The Prime Minister is the sun!

[The Prime Minister's kindness is not over yet! ]

[There is no two suns in the sky, and in my heart there is only one sun, the Prime Minister! ]

【loyalty!】

[And the missionaries and merchants from the West, upon seeing you, knelt down, holding a cross and singing hymns with tears streaming down their faces... No one could understand what they were singing, but judging by their demeanor, they were probably worshipping you as the Son of God...]

[With a design like this that would shock anyone who sees it, how could the Divine Emperor not know about it?]

[Every time he goes to court, you can clearly see surprise, hesitation, confusion, and other complex emotions in his eyes. This completely proves that he knows exactly what is happening to you!]

[He may not know how you became stronger, but He definitely knows what it means for you to become stronger...]

[That means hostility! It means danger!]

[Your positions have never been completely consistent. Over the years, you have planned several rebellions, from divine power to technology, you have tried every possible way to kill Him!]

[He knows this very well, so He has wanted to kill you more than once!]

[Even though these murderous intentions were eventually dispelled for some unknown reason, He has always been wary of you!]

[And now it seems that a life-and-death battle between you is inevitable...]

After much deliberation, He made up His mind.

【…】

At nightfall, you were busy in the Prime Minister's Residence when you suddenly received an invitation from the Divine Emperor: He wanted to hold a small meeting with you in the Forbidden City...

[A meeting? One without the five or six rushes?]

You immediately became alert!

[Although holding a meeting is normal, you now know that you are definitely being targeted, so there is a high probability that there is something wrong with this meeting.]

【But, can you not go? 】

[Obviously, I can't. Refusing to go would be like admitting I have something to hide, and the Divine Emperor's suppression would come immediately!]

[And if I go, maybe I can actually have a conversation with Him... Worst case scenario, if the talks break down, I can just fight him later!]

After weighing the pros and cons, you finally made up your mind and stood up alone, walking into the pitch-black Forbidden City to meet your own destiny...

[……] [As soon as you arrived at the palace, you saw the white-haired Divine Emperor.]

He sits by the window, looking at you with a complicated gaze: "The Prime Minister's presence truly brightens this humble place..."

[It is indeed "a radiant sight"—your body is radiant with thousands of watts of golden light, making the palace brighter than daytime...]

[Hearing these half-joking words, your tense heart couldn't help but relax: It seems that they won't fight as soon as they meet... In other words, there shouldn't be a fight tonight.]

[Thinking of this, you also made a joke: "Your Majesty summoned me today, and I thought there were assassins ambushing in the palace. I was so frightened that I almost ran away..."]

The Divine Emperor smiled and said, "Then why not escape?"

[“Because I am certain that Your Majesty will not resort to force lightly!”]

Upon hearing this, the Divine Emperor couldn't help but sigh: They are indeed all smart people...

"Well, since the Prime Minister has said so, I will speak frankly."

He said in a deep voice, "I want to know what is going on with the Prime Minister's divine power?"

【As expected, this question has been asked. 】

You also sighed: "Please forgive me for not being able to explain..."

Despite being refused an answer, the Divine Emperor remained unperturbed. Instead, he calmly replied, "Very well, I'll change the question."

[“I would like to ask, does the Prime Minister have the intention to kill the king?”]

This question is very sharp, even more so than the previous one...

Under His majestic gaze, you can't help but feel a little timid: After all, you've been suppressed for so many years. Even though the power gap between the two sides isn't huge now, you still have some weaknesses due to inertia...

[But you finally took a deep breath, calmed down, and slowly gave a clear answer.]

【"yes."】

[As soon as these words were spoken, you saw His gaze turn cold...]

[But you don't regret it, because things have come to this point. Even if you say you have no rebellious intentions, He will not let you go... Your negotiations will not have the effect of eliminating the fighting. At best, they can only delay it for a few days, allowing both sides to prepare themselves mentally.]

After hearing your unabashedly offensive words, the Divine Emperor couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that all the merits I've bestowed upon the people over the years, even those that I've done to alleviate their suffering, can't dispel the Prime Minister's murderous intent?"

[Resolve?]

You laughed and said, "Your Majesty... Merits are merits, and faults are faults; the two can never cancel each other out."

"Your Majesty has certainly shown mercy to the people for decades, averting countless natural disasters and earning their praise... But who can we turn to for redress for the tens of millions of innocent people who died in your vengeful flames?"

"Furthermore, as long as Your Majesty lives, the people of this world will be threatened... For a monarch like Your Majesty, who has a history of misdeeds, there's no doubt he'll one day resume the slaughter."

"Therefore, whether it's to avenge the victims of the past or to bring peace to the world once and for all, Your Majesty cannot escape death!"

[With each word, you release the anger that has been suppressed within you for two lifetimes. Due to pressure, you have never been able to speak these words in the past... But now, you finally have the qualifications to compete with Him on the same stage, so of course you don't have to endure it anymore!]

Your rage surged straight into the heart of the Divine Emperor. That purest murderous intent and rage caused even this butcher, accustomed to killing people, to tremble in his heart!

[For a moment, He seemed to see the gaze of countless wronged souls in your eyes. They were screaming miserably, cursing with resentment...]

[Are you, Zhu Youjian, worthy of revenge? ]

【We are the ones who should take revenge! 】

【At this moment, He... was afraid! 】
