"Actually, I know that Loki has various problems." Odin frowned and began to talk to himself again. He said: "Because he is relatively weak and the Asgardians do not recognize him.
Frigga spent more time teaching him, so he is more like a girl and has a sensitive mind."
"But in fact, this is not a shortcoming at all. Anyway, he doesn't have to be the God King of Asgard. He doesn't have to take responsibility, and he doesn't have to pursue perfection."
"In other words, the Asgardians actually don't discriminate against him that much. He feels that the main reason why the Asgardians discriminate against him is that the Asgardians don't respect him as much as Thor."
"However, the Asgardians respect Thor not because the young Thor at that time was much stronger than Loki, but because of my face. He is my designated heir. How dare they not
respect?"
"But I can't just tell everyone that you have to respect Loki so much just because he feels sad about it. Then won't the authority of the heir that I established before be shaken again?"
Odin waved his hands vigorously in front of him and said: "I know those fools in Asgard too well. They don't know how to appreciate the subtle colors. They can only look at them after sitting in front of me for a year.
Unless I grow a few extra beards, they can only understand the literal meaning of the order."
"I said that Thor will inherit the throne in the future. They treat Thor like a god. If I say that you should treat Loki like Thor, then they will think that Loki may also be a god in the future.
king……"
Odin put his finger on his temple helplessly and said: "Frigga often told me that I always don't care about Loki, but I can't care about Loki as much as I care about To. I'm not afraid of the Asgardians."
There is still a chance to misunderstand him, but I'm just afraid that he will misunderstand himself."
"I know, you may want to accuse me of not giving him the throne and not compensating him elsewhere, but believe it or not, if I really compensate him elsewhere, some Asgardians and himself will definitely
I feel like I can do it again.”
Schiller touched his lips with his fingers and found that it really formed a closed loop.
Odin was right not to give Loki any hope when it came to the fight for his heir. As long as he didn't have hope at the beginning, he wouldn't be disappointed.
But if he doesn't give hope, he has to keep denying it. If he gives it again halfway, it may make the other party suffer even more and all the previous efforts will be in vain.
But this kind of fatherly love with low approval and low concern could not be understood by the young Loki. He could only understand that Odin did not love him, and he could only think that Odin was partial.
The root cause of this dead situation is that in the royal family relationship, in a sense, partiality is correct, and a bowl of water with equal talent may lead to greater disasters.
Some people may think that it would have been fine if he had not picked up Loki back then?
But at that time, Loki was about to die. Comparing death with the current situation, of course the current situation was better. Even if he did not get recognition from his father, at least he still had a mother and brothers.
The biggest problem in the father-son relationship between Odin and Loki is that Odin made the right choice, but Loki was also a victim.
"Actually, I didn't expect Thor to succeed to the throne so quickly." Odin said hesitantly, "I thought he would stay on earth for hundreds of years."
"Loki might feel better without Thor as a foil, but I didn't expect that everything happened so fast. Thor suddenly succeeded to the throne, and Loki didn't have any objections. I was already ready.
Be prepared to deal with Frigga's crying."
"After that, Loki suddenly turned into a goddess. I was overjoyed. Loki is indeed my smartest child. He came up with a better solution than me. If she marries Thor, wouldn't it be possible?
Have you enjoyed the same honor as the God King?"
"I thought Loki thought so, so I wanted to discuss it with Frigga. Unexpectedly, he himself didn't seem to be very willing..."
Odin shook his head and said, "I still haven't figured out what's going on."
When Odin felt confused, Schiller had already laughed softly. When he found that Odin was silent, he still said with a smile: "Has anyone said it? Your family is really ridiculous."
"You don't turn at every turn that should be turned, and you make sudden turns at every place that shouldn't be turned." Schiller gently rubbed his fingers with his fingers and said: "It's inexplicable, a mess, a few people
It created a more interesting scene than dozens of people... Is this the royal family?"
"As a doctor, aren't you smiling a little too happily?" Odin looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "Don't gloat about misfortune. Isn't that your basic professional quality?"
"Theoretically, it's like this." Schiller couldn't help but laugh again, and said: "But you should be lucky that I can laugh because your family's situation is just a joke at best. If
I looked serious, so you should know how serious the situation is."
"Okay, don't laugh. The reason why I came here is actually because I plan to make some changes." Odin poured himself another full glass of wine, drank half the glass in a "gulp, gulp," and wiped it.
Open your mouth and say:
"Thor's rule is already very stable, so I don't have to worry about what other Asgardians have other ideas. However, recently, I found that it seemed to be a bit too much."
"Although Loki is not the heir, he is still the noble prince of Asgard, but some people seem to..."
Odin's expression did not change, he was still smiling, but his tone gradually took on some murderous intent.
"No matter whether Loki is my biological son or not, no matter whether he is too sick to inherit the throne, no matter whether he meets the expectations of the Asgardians for a prince, no matter how much trouble he makes..."
Odin sat up straight, and Schiller felt an indescribable sharp momentum emanating from the old god-king. He knew that Thor still had a long way to go before he could develop such a momentum.
Gotta go.
"I said, he is my child, I said, he is the prince of Asgard, then everyone must respect him enough, because this is respecting me."
"I don't want people to praise him more than Thor, but they'd better not take the opportunity to get rid of him and provoke me..."
"They should obey Loki, and they should also respect Thor more. Judging the situation and grasping the scale is not what I should do, but what these ministers should do. If they fail to grasp it well, it proves that they are unqualified. This is inconsistent with
We, father and son, have nothing to do with each other."
The topic shifted here, Schiller showed a smile, looked at Odin and said: "...are you planning to liquidate?"
Odin shook his head and said: "In terms of politics, I have nothing to settle. It's just that those people who can't use their brains, or are too lazy to use their brains, really should go home and retire."
"Then have you ever thought that their habit of not using their brains was actually developed by you?" Schiller leaned on the back of his chair and put his hands on the back of the sofa and said.
And Odin's answer surprised him. Odin said confidently: "Yes, that's right, I raised him."
"In the past, I asked them to use their arms and fingers, hit wherever I pointed, not to think too much, not to have doubts, to obey me completely, and to regard me as their only father."
"But now, I ask them to think independently and learn to observe the situation, otherwise they will be eliminated... Do you think I am going too far?"
Odin looked at Schiller, but Schiller did not nod, because now, Odin's momentum had the upper hand. If he gave an answer that Odin didn't like to hear, it would be tantamount to his ministers disobeying him, and would only fall into a more passive situation.
"But this is the emperor."
There was an unabashed indifference and cruelty in Odin's voice: "This is a necessary quality for a good emperor."
"When I need them to bite, they must be extremely ferocious, crazy and cruel, and when I need them to stay well, then they'd better be docile and quiet, not even barking, otherwise, there won't be any of them in the future.
seats.”
"And, I firmly believe that there are no heroes in this world. I don't have any ministers. It's still me, and they are nothing without me. They need me, so it's best to understand everything. I want them to understand.
."
Schiller put the wine glass on the table. At this moment, he saw from Odin the long river of time spanning thousands of miles.
Among them, there are countless majestic figures, and perhaps, with their words and actions, they have explained what it means to be "the most ruthless is the emperor."
Tyrants are not mediocre kings. They may be cruel, indifferent, or even ruthless, but if you look at their merits alone, they may still be good emperors. In other words, in feudal society, the more arbitrary and powerful they are, the more merit they have.
A moment of benefit will last forever.
Schiller sighed softly. If there was anything he wasn't good at, it might be the so-called "emperor's mental skills".
This sounds like a very mysterious subject. To put it bluntly, there is only one sentence - "Learn to be arrogant and learn to be ruthless."
And this is precisely to make yourself a criminal and a patient, to learn to put aside morality and emotions, and to artificially create a madman, which is completely opposite to what Schiller did.
At the end of the conversation, they didn't drink much wine, but both of them felt a little drunk. It was the first time that Odin said so much to a person. In addition to being glorious, the emperor was also lonely.
Schiller also faced a truly great king for the first time, and during his communication with him, he came face to face with more emperors throughout the ages.
And at the same time, he also understood why Odin was called the "Father of the Gods". He was as powerful as his father, but also as authoritative as his father.
In the end, Schiller could only ask one question:
"You said Thor looks like you, but if he became you, would you really feel happy?"
"Who am I?" Odin asked: "Actually, I am not Odin, I am the father of Asgard, and Asgard is my child..."
"If a boy wants to become a father, he must go through the process of abandoning himself. He needs to continuously strengthen all his characteristics that can bear the responsibility of the family, such as diligence, hard work, and the courage to take responsibility..."
"But is he really such a person?" Odin shook his head slightly and said, "Maybe not."
"But as long as he gets more happiness from being a father than he does from being alone, then it doesn't matter who he is."
"One day, Thor will become a father, and so will Loki." When Odin finished speaking, Schiller saw a trace of pain on his face for the first time.
When the voice of the white-haired God King fell in the room, the sun was setting in Asgard.
"I just hope that on that day, they can understand that the pain I get from those decisions that don't seem to love them is no less than what they feel."
