The Wisest Emperor

There was no one wiser. There was no one clever. There was no one who understood like Qing. Qing was keen. He was well learned. He mastered at age 15 what most master in their graduate studies. Qing was the son of an emperor. And he was getting ready to become emperor. He was watched most of his life under the care of the Imperial Guards. He saw the ups and downs of reigning yet he still was fascinated with the power and the privilege and the prestige. He really wanted to reign and he really wanted the honor. He would spend his time in the room behind the throne room just to listen to the emperor, his father pass judgement. It was his favorite thing.

It happened that a war was coming in the land. That a new conqueror and invader has taken over the nearby country. And Qing was very much devoted to his father who was now ailing. His father gave him the ring of the emperor and whisper his last words to him. He told him to use the wisdom that he was taught, to never astray from doing good and do know truth above all else. And Qing wept that night and during the funeral. Qing as emperor promised further unity and further developments and further advancements. Qing was determined to reign and preserve the family's legacy. He was eager to win and spoke to every advisor he could possible can.

He finally got a messenger from the invader and conqueror who said I know you are a wise Emperor yet barely on the Throne. If you could answer me by this riddle then I shall leave your country alone. Tell me what the mandate of Heaven is?

Qing was nervous but remained strong. He asked for thirty days. In the days Qing learned everything about the mandate of Heaven and was preparing to answer the conqueror. His advisers stated that he should also prepare for war. So Qing stall the conqueror and invader. He asked for an additional thirty days at the end of the first thirty days. And the conqueror and invader was refusing and demanded an answer at the end of the first thirty days. Qing explained that studying takes time and the subject that he askes is vast and detailed and he could not explain in one setting. Qing further detailed that the subject is very sensitive and necessary for direct learning and teaching and understanding. The next night, Qing's advisors suggested that he plot with the country's leaders whom the invader overthrown that were left. There was this young princess, Tipe. She said she would cooperate in exchange for one night with the emperor. Qing never had time to seek a wife but he was flatter with the princess. Tipe does the traditional dance of her people while Qing watched from the Throne. She teases Qing off his throne and he closes the throne room. Qing kisses her ever so softly and he tears through her outfit. on the Throne's carpet. Afterward, she awakens him and tells him what the conqueror did to her home land. Tipe said he doesn't want an answer and that he wants to throw you off. She further says I would call him in and shoot him dead and all of his mighty men. Qing promised to Tipe if you are right and save my country then you shall be my wife, my Sweet my love.

So Qing tells the Conqueror to come in and the Conqueror compliments the Throne. And Qing shouts Guards and they shoot down the Conqueror before he reaches his sword. And The imperial Military strips the Conqueror's military and behead the leaders. And Qing is well received by his people. And he declares Tipe as his wife saying She my love has saved our country and our country shall become one.
