Life simulation?
Hearing this voice, Semiramis suddenly became curious.
"Where is that sound coming from?"
Semiramis turned around and looked at the calm lake behind her. "Was that you talking to me? Okay, then I'll see what you have to say."
After thinking about this, Semiramis immediately chose "yes".
At that very moment, she realized that everything before her eyes had changed...
Day 1: Onnes, the top strategist of Babylon, arrives in your village. He sees you and falls in love with you at first sight. He proposes to your foster parents that he take you back to Babylon and marry you. Seeing the generous reward in front of them, your foster parents agree.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I'm just someone who is not needed by anyone. It doesn't matter where I am or who I marry."
It has to be said that Semiramis was indeed quite downcast at this time.
Chapter 456 The Empress Development Plan!
Semiramis stood up from the lake and walked home. As she passed an intersection, she noticed a dark-haired, dark-eyed man standing there, holding a paintbrush and easel, sketching something. Out of curiosity, she approached him and quietly watched him create.
The man was an excellent painter, but Semiramis didn't recognize the two creatures he painted.
"What are you drawing?" Semiramis asked curiously.
Upon hearing Semiramis's voice, Lin Ye neither raised his head nor continued his work, but he still responded...
"This is a dragon and a phoenix, and the name of this painting is 'Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Auspiciousness'."
"Dragon and phoenix? Why have I never seen them before?"
Lin Ye: "Of course you can't see it. This is a mythical beast from the Eastern China."
Um? ?
Semiramis glanced at Lin Ye's words. The dragon and phoenix soared upwards, but to her surprise, the phoenix lagged behind the dragon by a full step.
Semiramis: "Why is the phoenix subordinate to the dragon?"
"Because in traditional culture, the dragon generally represents men and the phoenix represents women. In ancient China, the dragon was usually associated with the emperor and the phoenix with empresses and imperial concubines."
Semiramis: "So, why must the phoenix be subordinate to the dragon?"
Hearing Semiramis say that again, Lin Ye finally stopped painting and looked up at Semiramis.
"Women who depend on men are like some women without ambition who are attracted to men's money and power; while ambitious women love the confidence, optimism and continuous progress that men gain from their wealth and power. Fortunately, they arrive at the same conclusion by different paths."
What! ! !
Upon reading Lin Ye's words, Semiramis felt as if he had been hit hard on the head.
She thought of herself, abandoned by her parents as a child and living under the roof of others, and soon she was going to marry a general and continue living under the roof of others.
She seemed to see her future in an instant.
Semiramis looked at the phoenix attached to the dragon on the canvas, as if he were looking at his future self.
"No! That's not true at all!" Suddenly, Semiramis shook her head repeatedly, looking at Lin Ye in front of her as if to prove that what Lin Ye had just said was nonsense.
"Who says the phoenix can only be below the dragon! Who says women can only be empresses and queens! Women can also become emperors!"
Upon hearing Semiramis's words, Lin Ye suddenly laughed.
"Perhaps you are right, women can become empresses, but on this land, from the time of Gilgamesh to the present Ninus, there has never been a woman who has become a queen."
“From this moment on, I will become the first empress here.”
If Lin Ye had said these words to someone lacking ambition, the person would likely have scoffed. But the person before him was Semiramis, the future Assyrian Empress.
Lin Ye's words merely awakened her subconscious empress consciousness. What's the point of a regent who rules from behind the curtain? A confident and self-reliant empress should be his ultimate pursuit!
However, Semiramis also began to struggle with his decision.
She was provoked by Lin Ye's words and blurted out those words without thinking. Although it was indeed what she felt in her heart, she was just an ordinary shepherdess. How could she possibly become an empress?
"No, something's definitely not right about this man. He actually came all the way from the far east alone. This man must be extraordinary."
With this in mind, Semiramis was presented with several choices.
Option 1: Use your beauty to seduce Lin Ye. Note: If the other party is upright or indifferent to women, this option may fail.
Option 2: Become Lin Ye's apprentice and enrich your knowledge through self-study.
Option 3: Take back what you said and leave, waiting for Onnes to come and take you back to get married tomorrow.
"I choose two!"
The third option is self-evident; while she may not yet have absolute authority, she wouldn't take back her words so easily. And choosing the first option would just make her a woman dependent on a man again.
After much thought, option two seems the most suitable. What you truly learn is what belongs to you. As for whether having Bailinye as a teacher counts as being dependent on a man, Semiramis doesn't really care. Even the most powerful woman has a male teacher when she goes to school.
Seeing your choice, Lin Ye thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. So that very day, you chose to leave with Lin Ye.
The next day: Onnes came to your house to take you away, but learned that you were missing. Onnes was furious and sent people to search for you throughout Assyria, but to no avail, so he returned to Beth.
Day 3: You will learn the art of rulership from Lin Ye. Lin Ye will give you a copy of "Illustrated Explanation of Imperial Admonitions" (a Ming Dynasty work on imperial studies that uses history as a mirror) for you to read on your own.
Day 4: Reading "Illustrated Explanation of Imperial Admonitions"
Day 5: Continue reading "Illustrated Explanation of Imperial Admonitions"
……
Day 16: Your understanding of the art of rulership has improved, and you have gained Leadership Level E.
Day 17: Lin Ye drove you to a woman named Artoria and asked you to learn from her.
February: Your leadership skills are enhanced, and you acquire leadership qualities (D).
March: Lin Ye presents you with the complete "Imperial Studies" (a textbook used exclusively by Song Dynasty emperors and crown princes).
4: Study "Imperial Studies"
May: In-depth study of "Imperial Studies"
June: Your understanding of "Imperial Studies" improves, and your leadership skills are elevated to C.
July: You happily find Lin Ye and show off your leadership skills to him, but Lin Ye shakes his head.
"So-called leadership, D level is just the beginning, C level is barely enough to lead an army, and to lead a country, you need to reach at least B level to barely pass."
You nodded after hearing Lin Ye's words, and then worked even harder.
Actually, a leadership grade of C is already quite high. Joan of Arc's leadership was a C, and even the famous Julius Caesar's leadership was only a C.
My king's B-rank is sufficient to govern a country.
Emperor Iskandar's leadership level A represents the highest prestige achievable by humankind, sufficient to support the rule of a world-class empire.
An enlightened leader with A+ leadership skills governs Buddhism, one of the world's three major religions.
The highest known leadership in Type-Moon is... Gilgamesh! His leadership is A+ in normal state, but it is elevated to a skill in serious mode, and his EX level as the All-Seeing Man is enough to lead the entire world.
Teemo, it's confirmed! Gilgamesh really is Type-Moon's favorite son!
Chapter 457 I know a little about magic
Semiramis originally lacked leadership qualities, perhaps due to her illegitimate accession to the throne. However, Lin Ye clearly wanted to see a true empress, not Semiramis who had nothing but the title of empress.
August: Lin Ye brought Semiramis to a man named Iskandar and asked Semiramis to learn from him. Semiramis nodded in agreement.
January of the second year: Semiramis's leadership was upgraded to B!
January 8th of the following year: When Lin Ye picked up Semiramis in his car, the first thing Semiramis said to Lin Ye as soon as she landed was...
"Lin Ye, I plan to start in Europe and march eastward without turning back until we return to Assyria. What do you say?"
Lin Ye………
Oh no, did I raise the Empress in the wrong way?
Iskandar! What did you teach her, Teemo?! You went back to Assyria and just said you wanted to conquer the whole world! Do you even know that this period is the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?!
The Western God has not yet left, the European Odin has not yet grown old, the Greek gods sit on Olympus, and the Eastern Celestial Venerable covers China. If you want to rule the world, those books are equivalent to flipping through the entire pantheon of the world's gods!
What? You're the Empress? You think you can suppress all enemies?
"No, I have to bring back the Empress's personality!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, the young girl Semiramis looked back on the past year with stars in her eyes.
"Just who is this Lin Ye? How does he know so many outstanding emperors?"
Semiramis initially lacked confidence in becoming Empress, but now she did! Especially after seeing Artoria, her confidence grew even stronger!
February 1st of the following year: Lin Ye brought you to Babylon, where you met your last guide, Gilgamesh!
Knowing your purpose, Gilgamesh was initially not very interested, but after Lin Ye pulled him into a small room for half an hour, he said that you were very talented and he was willing to teach you the way of the emperor.
"It's done."
Lin Ye expressed his relief.
