Chapter 1, A New Emperor Takes the Throne (Part 1).

Finally, returned to hometown.

I was also surprised and took a glance at my chest. What's the big deal? It's just a small birthmark at most.

My heart sank instantly. If this is true, what if they find out that I am impersonating the emperor? That would be terrible. I have also heard of punishments like Lingchi and dismemberment by five horses.

The pretty female train attendant's words were polite, but her tone was completely opposite. However, I didn't bother to argue with her about it. After exchanging my ticket with her, I put on my clothes, picked up my travel bag, and waited at the door of the train.

Returning in such a desolate state now may invite some ridicule.

Everyone, rise up. Your rescue efforts have been meritorious. After I return, I will heavily reward you all. I had to put on a majestic demeanor, speaking with resounding strength and authority.

Struggling to get up, I tightly wrapped the dragon robe around me, feeling a bit warmer. Suddenly, I remembered my bag. Immediately, I saw my travel bag on the ground, along with some things that had fallen out of my pocket.

Before I finished speaking, I pushed him away and scornfully said, "Don't give me this nonsense about the 'honorable status of the 95th generation'. I've seen plenty of money-grubbing Taoists like you." After saying that, I shook my butt and left. Damn it, I remember when I was young at home, there were several Taoists who deceived my mother by saying that I had the 'honorable status of the 95th generation'. It made my mother excited and she donated all the expenses for a month. It caused me to eat porridge and pickled vegetables for a month. Since then, I can't stand hearing anything about the 'honorable status of the 95th generation' or similar things. It made my mother excited and she donated all the expenses for a month. It caused me to eat porridge and pickled vegetables for a month. Since then, I can't stand hearing anything about the 'honorable status of the 95th generation' or similar things.

Thinking of this, I tightly held onto my chest and exclaimed in surprise, "What, what do you want to do?"

Oh no, what do you mean by "just like that"? What am I supposed to do? I was shocked and held a pile of intricately designed clothes, shouting: "No, please don't!"

Well, forget it. Over the course of two years, I haven't learned anything else, but I have certainly mastered the art of thick skin. I can't be bothered by mere mockery.

Squeak-yah!

At the thought of this, there was an inexplicable warmth and a light, floating feeling in my heart. Could it be, could it be that I am really going to become the emperor? That person in front of me, has also become adorable in my eyes. I walked up to him, and in just a few moments, helped him put on his clothes.

A bunch of palace maids followed, throwing themselves in front of me, crying and begging me to execute them.

The strength of that person's wrist may be slightly inferior to mine. However, without my guard, I was also pulled in by him.

After a short while, the main force arrived by my side. Oh my, there were hundreds of people coming one after another. People of all kinds were present, some were beautiful women dressed in palace attire, some were eunuchs, and some were well-equipped guards with clear armor and swords.

I am an ordinary clerical worker in this building, no, I should say I used to be. From now on, I have regained my freedom, no need to get up at eight in the morning and start work at nine.

I declined the suggestion to walk with others and instead quickened my pace, climbing all the way up. After a long period of inactivity, I unexpectedly found myself panting heavily.

The eunuch immediately turned pale, exclaimed in shock, and cried out, "Your Majesty, please spare this servant."

As usual, most of the time I do what I want without dragging things out. Therefore, the next day I settled the account with the landlord. I packed my important belongings one by one into a travel bag.

It is the Emperor, it is the voice of the Emperor. The people over there immediately became excited and started shouting and screaming uncontrollably.

Well, actually! I don't know how to dress myself. Usually, it's the servants who help me dress up. The man nodded softly, his face slightly red, seeming a bit embarrassed.

After taking a deep breath, the nicotine entered the brain. The tense emotions were immediately relaxed, and the body also felt a little warmer.

Due to not sleeping well these past few days, I fell into a drowsy sleep while lost in thought. It wasn't until someone woke me up by saying, "Excuse me, the train is about to arrive at Taian Station. Please change your ticket."

I quickly took off my clothes and took out all the items in my pockets. I changed into the dragon robe with him. The weather was extremely cold, which prevented me from thinking too much. I quickly put on the clothes.

It's your turn, help me put on this outrageous outfit!

Just as I was about to speak and give a piece of my mind, I was stunned. What caught my eye was a splendid and colorful radiance. What left me dumbfounded was that a familiar figure emerged from the radiance. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the person's appearance was exceptionally familiar. It wasn't until I came to my senses that I suddenly realized, could that person be myself?

"Damn it, if only I could be an emperor." I couldn't help but start fantasizing, and just thinking about the benefits of being an emperor made me burst into laughter.

Men, men. Protect the emperor, protect the emperor.I held the dragon robe and shouted in panic. At this moment, I made up my mind and used a lighter to ignite my hair. After patting it repeatedly, most of my hair had been burned off. If there was a mirror, my hair now would look like a scabby head. Of course, this was the effect I wanted. As far as I know, those guys in ancient times all had long hair. My short hair has become my biggest flaw.

Stop, don't take off the last one. I saw him taking off the last line of defense and quickly stopped him. Damn it, if someone takes a picture of us facing each other naked, I won't be able to live anymore.

Fortunately, nowadays the transportation is quite convenient. Although my hometown, Taian, is not considered an economically developed area, it is a well-known tourist destination nationwide, with quite a few trains coming and going. I didn't feel like waiting in the long queue, so I simply bought a black-market ticket from a scalper and went straight to the station.

Human wisdom usually shines the most in a pressured environment. I immediately made a decision, which was to lie.

Under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, I fiercely beat him up with my old fists, and in the end, I extended my middle finger to show my contempt. Then I quickly turned around and ran away because I knew the police would arrive soon.

Hurry, hurry. Take off your clothes.The person in the shining light couldn't wait to make the request, and their two hairy hands had already reached out.

What audacity? Damn it, don't forget, we've switched roles now. I am the emperor.

However, that guy called himself "朕". Could he be a lunatic? What era is it? I looked at him suspiciously, but didn't say anything. This radiance, along with what happened today, all seems to exude an air of strangeness.

A sudden brake woke me up from a daydream, and then a middle-aged man jumped out of the car and started scolding me in dialect as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ha ha, interesting. The driver patted my shoulder happily and praised, "Just by looking at you, buddy, I can tell you're a bookworm. Well done!"

I adjusted the travel bag on my back, took a glance at the towering Mount Tai, and then strode up the steps.

Entering a small alley, I gasped for breath heavily. As a clerk, it had been a long time since I had exercised so vigorously. However, after this release, much of the frustration in my heart was dispelled. My mood also became much more cheerful.

The sound was so loud that it made my ears numb. It must be some tourist shouting and cheering after successfully reaching the summit.

Where are you, Your Majesty? Another shout was heard, and it seemed to be a bit closer than before.

Lying on a rock at Guanri Peak, I rested with my travel bag as a pillow behind my head. It was still three or four hours before sunrise, so I had to take a nap. However, the backpack straps were securely fastened to my chest, as I didn't want anyone to steal it while I was asleep.

Damn, could it be a movie being filmed? This thought flashed through my mind.

Slave, servant, come, come and help the emperor get dressed. Not far away, another eunuch timidly spoke, but his voice was trembling, seemingly extremely afraid.

The clothes here, how are they designed? Why are they so complicated? That guy, the villain spoke first, criticizing me as soon as he arrived.

That look is somewhat ambiguous. In my opinion, it should be full of temptation. As for this obvious question, I instinctively nodded. Joking, how many people in the world don't want to be an emperor? However, why did this guy ask that?

In the midst of confusion, I could faintly hear someone shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, where are you?"

The eunuch, getting up, cautiously walked to my side, bending over to help me put on this dragon robe. Suddenly, I heard him whisper, and I looked at my chest in astonishment.

The situation has reached this point, and I can't help but take it seriously. Because I know that if I expose my true identity, it will probably be even more embarrassing than a slow and painful death.

After graduating for two years, I have changed eight jobs. Today, I don't know if I was fired by my boss or if I fired my boss. Anyway, I am unemployed again.

I picked up my cigarette tremblingly, using my almost numb hand that was frozen from the cold, and it took me a long time to light the cigarette.

Amidst the drowsiness, suddenly a cry of exclamation was heard in the ear: "Success!"

That guy deserves his bad luck. I have a quick temper. Normally, I would at most give him a slap in the face or something. But today is the day of my unemployment, and he happened to run into trouble.

After lying in bed all night, I pondered over many things, including the bits and pieces of my life in this city over the past two years. This is not my city, I don't fit in here, and it doesn't fit me either. The consequence of reaching this conclusion is that I have decided to leave this city.

Okay, that's it then. A sly smile crossed the man's lips as he walked towards the outside of the light: "The time has come, good luck to you. I won't go back to that haunted place again."

I helped him light a cigarette, and also lit one for myself. After exhaling a cloud of smoke, I said deeply, "It has been two years since I left home, and I can't help but feel a bit homesick. I'll go to Yuhuang Peak first to watch the sunrise and relax my mood."

Reading? I couldn't help but bitterly smile. After all, I managed to endure and obtain a bachelor's degree. I thought I could have my own place, but unexpectedly, there are graduates with bachelor's degrees everywhere. What kind of profession should I pursue? My income is not even as good as that of a taxi driver.

After resting a few times with great difficulty, we finally reached the summit of Jade Emperor Peak. However, we were already exhausted. I remember a few years ago, we only rested once on the way.

Oh my! Immediately, all my hairs stood up and my heart turned cold... Could it be, could it be that I have encountered the legendary...

Stop talking nonsense. If we tell you to take it off, you take it off.The man spoke sternly, with a hint of authority between his eyebrows.

This is fine, it's up to you. The person's eyes were a bit excited, but their face turned pale: "Hurry up, don't you know it's winter now!"

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw it. That guy wouldn't even be able to fit into my clothes. This, this just goes to show that what he said is very likely true. If it were those guys from the TV station, how could they possibly not wear mass-market clothes?

"Your Majesty!" A group of eunuchs, unwilling to show weakness, rushed to me and knelt down with a thud, crying and sniffling, saying, "This servant, this servant arrived late to rescue Your Majesty. I deserve to die a thousand times. Please order the execution by dismemberment and quartering."

I struggled to open my eyes, only to see darkness all around me. The only source of light was the faint glow of the waning moon. Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine, causing me to shiver. It was then that I realized I was only wearing a pair of underwear.

"How dare you ask Us to help you dress?" The man frowned and became angry.

Ha ha, I couldn't help but burst into laughter. Damn it, there are still such idiots in this world who can't even dress themselves. However, after laughing, I thought of a serious problem... If neither of us can dress, doesn't that mean...

I was stunned, once again realizing the truth of the matter. Those guys at the TV station couldn't possibly put together such a luxurious lineup. Because, how much money would that cost?

Your Majesty? Could it be that the guy is actually playing for real? My heart suddenly thumped. Doesn't that mean I'm the damn emperor now?

However, I still had a little idea in my mind. I quickly said, "If what you said is true, then you go first. As long as you take off, I will take off."

Grace, then you come over and help me put on the dragon robe. I spoke in the tone of that guy, and unconsciously, I also took on a hint of dignity. Fortunately, that guy really can't dress himself, otherwise I would have been exposed at the moment.

By the way, why didn't you go home as soon as you got off the train? Instead, you ran up the mountain? The driver, with his straightforward Shandong personality, didn't seem to mind at all.

Speaking of which, time flies. In no time, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. The driver insisted on using the meter to charge me. I said before leaving, I gave him fifty yuan. To be honest, if he picks up a passenger from out of town, he could earn more than fifty yuan. It's not easy to do business in the middle of the winter night.

Although I am not a local, I have been living here for at least two years. Although I can't speak the local dialect very well, I can understand some of it, especially the vulgar language, which I understand quite well.

The road to Mount Tai, I have walked more than ten times from childhood to adulthood, so I am very familiar with it. Along the way, I have encountered many tourists, in groups of two or three, or in a team. I estimate that they all want to reach the summit and watch the sunrise before dawn.

This sleep, I don't know how long I've been asleep.

When I came, I came like this, and when I left, I left like this. The train station was unusually noisy, and there wasn't a single person to see me off.

I lay on the bunk, enjoying the scenery of Jiangnan flashing by outside the car. However, my mind couldn't help but fly back to my hometown, Taian. It's been two years since I last went back. I remember the bold words I left behind, that when I succeed in the future, it will be the time for me to return home in glory.

Master, go to Mount Tai. I got into a taxi with a fake local accent and lazily lay down on the seat, no longer saying anything.

Lie, not everyone can tell.

After circling around the alley, I finally returned to my residence. The reason why I don't call this place home is because I have no emotional attachment to this house at all. It is purely a place for me to sleep, no different from a hotel or an inn. Of course, this is thanks to my landlord. His disgusting face is also one of the main reasons why I have no emotional attachment to this place where I have lived for two years.

The radiance in front of me suddenly accelerated, spinning faster and faster. In a daze, I suddenly passed out.

I walked out of a building holding two cardboard boxes. Looking at the upper-class people in suits coming in and out, I couldn't help but turn back to the building and curse, "Fuck!" Then, ignoring the surprised looks around me, I left confidently.

The person received a definite answer, feeling elated: "In that case, I will exchange with you. You become the emperor, and I will become you."

That person saw me and still didn't move, furrowing their brows as if they wanted to get angry. Suddenly, their face eased inexplicably, and they smiled and said, "Do you want to be an emperor?"

That guy first wanted to get angry, but he forced himself to hold back. In just a few moves, he took off all his clothes.

No, that's definitely not me. Because the person was wearing a dragon robe, and the style of the dragon robe was exactly the same as the one on TV. However, how could that guy's appearance be exactly the same as mine?

Bring it on! I gritted my teeth. Now, it's like the end of the road for me anyway. Just in case, I mean just in case. If what that guy said is true, then I'll be successful. After all, as someone who often hangs out online, I often read some fantasy novels and have developed some immunity to these supernatural events. In addition, I also thought of those Taoists who tried to scam money from my family, which added a bit of confidence.

It suddenly dawned on me that there should be specialized eunuchs to help the emperor dress. I shouldn't have casually pointed to a eunuch to help me put on the dragon robe, as he naturally wouldn't dare to do so.

My mind suddenly became heavy. This is simply unbelievable. I carefully looked around, could it be some TV station playing a prank on me? Nowadays, this kind of prank on innocent civilians in variety shows has very high ratings. If I really believe it, and end up exposing myself in front of the national audience, there will be no turning back. If I really believe it, and end up exposing myself in front of the national audience, there will be no turning back.

Alas, I can't believe how much my hometown has changed in just two years.

I, I am here. I shouted with all my strength. After shouting this sentence, I became nervous again, and various thoughts floated through my mind one by one. Regardless, I will bet on this one, then I shouted several times in a row.

However, at this moment, I am freezing to death. I pointed at a young eunuch and shouted, "Come here, help me put on my clothes."

I saw his appearance, it was really too realistic. Just the thought of if there was a television station that found someone exactly like me to play tricks on me, I would accept it. After all, I can get a considerable amount of compensation afterwards.

Seems like fell asleep.

When that person saw me in front of him, he was momentarily stunned, but then a smile of joy appeared on his face. He grabbed me and pulled me into the light.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist grabbed me from behind. He stared at my face for a long time, his expression becoming increasingly serious. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Young man, your facial features resemble those of a person of great importance. I..."

This clothing design is really abnormal. No matter how you wear it, it just doesn't look good.

"Hurry up, this teleportation space won't last long." The guy who claimed to be the emperor looked around and seemed to be estimating the time.

Damn, what went wrong? Didn't that guy say his clothes were all worn by eunuchs?

Perhaps it's extreme fatigue, or perhaps it's seeing the sunrise too many times, the excitement in my heart has faded. Drowsiness surged towards me.

Upon hearing my local accent, the driver enthusiastically struck up a conversation with me. I responded to him absentmindedly. However, from fragments of our conversation, I discovered that Tai'an has been developing at an extremely fast pace recently. Taking advantage of the booming economy of Jinan, Tai'an has also been radiated and has gained a lot of attention. In addition, as a historical city, tourism revenue is also considerable.

The servant dare not. Those eunuchs are still kowtowing hard, begging for my forgiveness.

Leaving the train station, I lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. Hoping to warm myself up with the heat from the cigarette, I unexpectedly had a thought.

There are assassins, quickly protect the emperor. Those guards with knives rushed over like flying and surrounded me tightly. They looked around vigilantly.

I took a deep breath, and the air here is so fresh and clear that it chilled my lungs. I glanced at my watch and realized it was only a little past 1 a.m. now. Speaking of this watch, it has already accompanied me for seven or eight years. As the watch my father bought with his first paycheck, I can't bear to just throw it away. Even though wearing this watch has made me the target of ridicule as a country bumpkin more than once. As the watch my father bought with his first paycheck, I can't bear to just throw it away.
