Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

......

In the imperial court, the officials were overwhelmed by Chen Shao's bloody methods.

As soon as Chen Shaogang sat back on the dragon throne, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully eliminated dissidents and removed Han Cao's faction from the Censorate. You have been awarded a five-draw reward! Do you want to draw?]

"smoke."

The familiar scene unfolded once again.

Five images flashed by in turn.

The first one.

Amidst the chaos of the army, a young emperor dressed in an ochre-yellow dragon robe was squatting on the city wall.

Holding a slingshot in his hand, he squinted and aimed at a general in the chaotic army below the city.

The bullet pierced the air and struck the red tassel on the man's helmet, snapping it off instantly.

"Oh, Li Cunxu."

Those who have watched "The Bad Guys" will be familiar with this character, Chen Shao.

This guy is serious about using a slingshot.

He's really addicted.

He often used a slingshot to beat his ministers into fleeing in terror, and then released his hunting dogs to chase and bite them, taking pleasure in this.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a general card and obtained the entry: Slingshot!]

[You can apply any owned affix as a one-time effect to someone else; the effect takes effect immediately upon the recipient.]

[Once a term is submitted, it will be permanently deleted. Please do not submit it indiscriminately.]

Chen Shao didn't understand but felt it was impressive, and sensed it was very powerful.

If that "getting lost" incident had happened to Helian Yunni, it would have been good if she hadn't been able to find the capital of Da Yan.

The second image.

An emperor stands in a prison cell, his hair disheveled, while the prison guards around him wear a large "Qin" character on their clothes.

King Huai of Chu.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Idea King.]

[Idea King: With this entry, you'll always have flashes of inspiration and come up with some brilliant but terrible ideas.]

Good heavens! This entry is practically tailor-made for King Huai of Chu.

Zhang Yi's great reputation was largely due to his brilliant ideas.

The third image.

The wind and rain were dark and gloomy, and a group of ragged soldiers huddled together in the mud, shivering.

A burly man stood on the earthen slope and raised his arm, shouting:

"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a general card and obtained the phrase: "Are kings and generals born with a special destiny?"]

"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" When you raise your arms and shout this question, there is a very high probability that it will stir up the emotions of those around you, and they may even follow you.

[Note: If the phrase is shouted three times consecutively at the same time, the entry will become invalid.]

The fourth image.

A slender emperor is trying on a gorgeous dress.

He was dressed in a flowing robe, adorned with a golden hairpin, and his eyebrows were painted, his lips were rouged, and his face was covered with floral makeup.

This person is beyond Chen Shao's historical knowledge.

He's only a mediocre person.

Did such a person really exist in history?

All he knew was that Li Cunxu loved to perform on stage and even gave himself the stage name Li Tianxia.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Crossdressing Master!]

[Cross-dressing master: Your charm doubles when you wear women's clothing, captivating both men and women—I'll say it three times because it's important.]

[Note: Wearing women's clothing automatically grants an androgynous effect, making it impossible for anyone to discern your true gender.]

"Holy crap..."

Chen Shao was stunned.

This term, taken out of context, is practically useless.

There is also the risk of being locked up by a strongman.

But if it's launched using a slingshot...

In certain crucial situations, the scene is simply breathtaking.

The fifth image.

Amidst the vast army, a fierce general, nine feet tall, with a face like a red date, phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows, rode his horse, brandishing his sword.

He raised the broadsword high with one hand.

The blade pointed directly at the dark mass of enemy troops ahead. Suddenly, he spurred his horse forward, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade drew a huge arc in mid-air.

With a single slash, the entire battlefield trembled beneath the blade.

"We've struck it rich!"

"That's Guan Yu!"

"What if I drew the Martial Saint..."

Chen Shao felt he could single-handedly subdue the world, and he didn't care who it was; with one strike, he could bring peace to the world.

But then he thought of the system's nature.

"Don't give me anything abstract!"

Chen Shao had a look on his face that said, "Dad, kneel down, I'm begging you for something."

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn a general card and obtained the entry: Guan Yu! Guan Yu! (Gold)]

[Guan Yu! Guan Yu! When you wield the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, you automatically gain the "Heaven and Earth Slash" buff. With a single strike, you are invincible, slaying all who stand in your way.]

[Note: This is a weapon-specific attribute and cannot be triggered without the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.]

Please do not use this phrase while under the influence of alcohol, otherwise the effect will automatically switch to "Carelessness Leads to the Loss of Jingzhou".

Wuhu!

take off!

Chen Shao decided to have a Green Dragon Crescent Blade forged immediately after court.

This system finally worked properly for once.

Gold! Oh, gold!

His face beamed with joy.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your first successful draw of a gold-level keyword! You've been awarded an extra draw chance!]

The scene unfolds once again.

A young man dressed in a dragon robe leaned back on the dragon throne, holding a bowl of bird's nest porridge in his hands, looking at the ministers kneeling below with a puzzled expression.

The official was reporting on the disaster.

A severe drought struck a certain area, resulting in a complete crop failure and widespread starvation.

They could only dig up grass roots and gnaw on tree bark to fill their stomachs.

After listening for a long time, the young emperor finally put down his bowl of porridge.

With a sincere expression, he asked:

If the people are starving to death, why don't they eat meat porridge?

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Emperor Card and obtained the entry: Why Don't They Eat Meat Porridge (Gold)!]

【Why not eat meat porridge: Yes, why not eat meat?】

When you are in a certain location, you can supply meat porridge indefinitely (it cannot be supplied remotely).

Note: It must be meat porridge. Pure meat won't do, and pure porridge won't do either. It must be meat porridge. I've said it before, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it would still be meat porridge.

Another...another...another...another...gold withdrawal?

Holy crap...

Chen Shao gasped.

What kind of dog poop did I step in today?

Two golden entries appeared in succession.

No, it's one thing for Guan Yu to drop a gold-tier item, but this thing can drop gold too?

"So it turns out this golden title isn't limited to exceptionally talented individuals..."

"His Majesty!"

Shen Qingci suddenly stepped forward.

"I have something to report. Now that the Northern Mang has retreated and the court has been stabilized, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne. You should hold many imperial examinations to select talented people for the country."

This was a pre-arranged act between the two.

Chen Shao nodded slightly and smiled as he looked at the assembled officials.

"My esteemed ministers, do you have any objections to what Mr. Shen has proposed?"

Your Highness and your courtiers have just recovered from the last round of slaughter; their necks are still chilly. Who would dare utter a single word of dissent?

One by one, they clasped their hands and bowed, their voices surprisingly uniform:

"Your Majesty is wise! Mr. Shen is absolutely right!"

"In that case, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

Chen Shao nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Shen, please choose an auspicious day and give the students enough time to travel to the capital to prepare for the special imperial examination."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

Han Cao burst in.

Large beads of sweat were on his forehead, and his breathing was unsteady, clearly indicating that he had run all the way here.

When the officials saw him, especially the members of Han's faction, they immediately looked as if they had seen their own father, their faces full of grievance.

Although he did not speak, he pointed to the vacant position of the censor.

Chen Shao also took the initiative to speak:

"Is Prime Minister Han in such a hurry because of matters concerning the Censorate?"

He had already prepared his arguments, ready to leave Han Cao speechless.

But to everyone's surprise, Han Cao knelt down in the hall with a thud.

His old face was full of anxiety.

"Your Majesty, this old minister was busy taking care of the Emperor Emeritus and arrived late. Please forgive me!"

"This old minister did not come for those censors; they have harmed the promising young people of the Great Yan Dynasty and deserve to be executed."

"His Majesty!"

"Huaiyuan Prefecture, located a hundred miles south of the capital, was recently ravaged by mountain bandits and outlaws, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless."

"The land is now littered with the dead of starvation. If this is not dealt with promptly, it may lead to a popular uprising. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible!"
