but also I wonder if its the other empire group that is doing this tho, could be, causing chaos and weaking the structure so they can take over. but I dont think its as likely.
this is more troubling. This is being used as a fact to take out a person who was important and had such a high power with his words, from a neutral standpoint as well, the game becomes bigger. Now that a piece is knocked, chaos will unfold, due to the face and reputation of this. This will be a form of infighting of a massive scale and the empire will reel itself inwards to its own death and zhou fan is a pivotal piece for this as the high priest likely known the was gonna happen anyway. This will cause a civil war and planned to break down the 3 things the emperor doesn’t like or at least is worried about, which is zhuge, regent estate and zhou fan. Yuwen clan needs to be at top so it makes sense on why this would happen, but also for the fact that zhou fan loses his strongest force. The emperor really is cunning, all for a seat. could even say this is payback against zhou fan as well.
if i was zhou fan to secure absolute dominance over the Tianyu Empire, my primary objective is to weaponize the Imperial Princes and engineer controlled chaos. First, I will target the political leverage of the Prime Minister’s seat. By exposing the Emperor’s true endgame to Zhuge Changfeng, I will force him to recognize that his survival depends on redirecting his focus away from me and toward the throne.
Concurrently, I will use the First and Second Princes as political shields, manipulating their ambitions for the crown so they draw the Emperor’s immediate fire. Under this smokescreen, I will launch a total massacre of the Regent Estate. By framing the annihilation of the Emperor’s greatest martial thorn as an act of extreme loyalty, I will force the Emperor into a paradox: he must publicly praise and reward me to maintain his own righteous facade.
Because I possess the Earth Vein Dragon Soul, peaceful coexistence with the current Emperor is structurally impossible. Therefore, I will use his mandated rewards purely to accumulate power and buy the time necessary to fortify my clan. Only when my foundation is absolute will I execute the Emperor, purge the remaining rival princes, and install the docile Third Prince as the sole surviving puppet ruler
I wouldnt reveal it outright to zhuge so easily, i know he is shrewd of character, and i would use all of that against him. Knowing he would most likely target me out of a full closed bottle. The problem for the emperor is that he mainly want his Yuwen clan to stay as the seat of the empire, killing the high priest is just doing what he wanted which is creating a civil war, which if someone wanted to fall on the emperor lap than they will, and to do that you use what was already being stated, with how zhou fan is he would know something is up but that is when youll know you got him. Reputation, people and finally a heir. You eat on the heart of the person to grow inside of them, whether its hate or love. Zhuge wouldnt be in alliance, he would simply be reeled into the fight with what he always wanted the emperor.
obvious, sherlok.
almost everyone should already know that the emperor is one of the mainplayers in the shadows. i bet for something like reaching a higher cultivation to get more years to live or immortality or so shit. in short cliche.
ps: or it could be THE player, the hidden mc, the 3rd crown prince.
tbh, the first time i did see him i had already the feeling that he hides a big secret, and the more he was shown the feeling deepened.
