"I want to rule the world," said the man.
"I will grant you this power, but it comes with a catch," said the demon. "You must immediately set out to find the most virtuous man in all the world, ask him what the most important thing for a leader to do is, and you must do exactly that. Do you still wish to rule the world?"
"Give me the power," said the man.

After scouring the globe from his throne for the most virtuous of all men, the Emperor found him and had invited him to the royal court.
"Tell me, good sir, what is the most important thing for a leader to do?" asked the Emperor.
"Lead by example," said the virtuous man.
...
As he stared out the windows of his palace at the crucified corpse of the virtuous man, the Emperor smiled.
The demon appeared behind him, none too amused. "How the *hell* did you do that? I heard what he told you. You were bound by infernal magic to obey!"
"He told me to lead by example," said the Emperor. "Well, there's the example - I made one of him for telling the Emperor what to do."
