Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Eight: The Transfer of Power to the Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire

The time slowly came to the day of September 9th, and the entire Star Spirit City entered the stage of conversation control.

Today, all vehicles are prohibited from passing indoors, and only vehicles with special license plates from special departments are allowed to pass.

Early in the morning, the high-level leaders of the Star Spirit Empire, the people with titles on their bodies, and the people with the Imperial Medal and the Star Spirit Medal on their chests, these people all began to gather towards the Star Palace.

Xu Ping'an and Isabella were also dressed in full costumes, wearing exclusive emperor costumes and queen costumes.

Xu Qian, too, changed into the emperor's attire.

As soon as the time came, Xu Ping'an, Xu Qian, and the high-ranking officials of the empire got into the car and left the Star Palace and went to the imperial altar, Xu Qian and Xu Ping'an were in the same car.

In front of it was eight taels of motorcycles to open the road, followed by four police cars, followed by Xu Ping'an and Xu Qian's cars, and behind were the cars of the high-level leaders of the Star Spirit Empire.

At the end, police cars and mounted police were also arranged.

Without saying a word all the way, the long convoy drove to the Imperial Altar, Xu Ping'an and the others got off together, and at this moment, various tributes to the heavens had been placed in front of the altar.

Looking at the long steps, Xu Ping'an took a deep breath, turned his head and nodded at Xu Qian, and took the lead to climb the steps in great strides.

Xu Qian and all the high-level officials followed, and everyone looked solemn.

Along the way, there are TV stations broadcasting live on Cheng, and the number of viewers today will set a record, not only the people of the Star Spirit Empire are watching the live broadcast, but the people of the countries of the earth are also watching the live broadcast.

Xu Ping'an came all the way to the front of the altar, bowed three times, and then stepped forward to pick up three large incense sticks and lit them, then saluted again, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

In Xingling's words, it is best not to arrange people in this process, it is best to do it yourself, Xu Ping'an is strictly in accordance with this procedure, and Cheng is not fake.

Later, Xu Qian also repeated Xu Ping'an's steps, and after completion, Xu Ping'an took Xu Qian to the white jade altar he bought after the incense case.

The high-ranking members of the empire waited in front of the incense case.

Xu Qian stood three steps away from Xu Ping'an, and Xu Ping'an walked to the center of the altar, looked up at the sky, and began to speak with a solemn expression.

"Xu Ping'an, the Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire, announced to the heavens, and the heavens will protect you, the Star Spirit Empire"

"I am old, and the development of the Star Spirit Empire cannot stop, so I hereby announce to the heavens that my son Xu Qian will inherit the throne of the Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire."

"I hope that the heavens will continue to bless my Star Spirit Empire," Xu Ping'an bowed three times to the sky after he finished speaking.

Turned around and beckoned to Xu Gan, Xu Qian walked over quickly, Xu Ping'an patted Xu Gan's shoulder, gave Xu Qian an encouraging look, and then stood aside.

Xu Qian cleaned up his mood, looked up at the sky, and looked solemn, "I, Xu Qian, inherit the position of Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire today, and will"

Many people don't understand this set of rules of the Star Spirit Empire, the science and technology of the Star Spirit Empire is already so developed, why do they still have such a strong religious ritual.

Although I don't know it, many small countries on the earth have learned this set to the fullest.

The reason why this is so is because this is a ceremony that Xu Ping'an has to respect.

Who is Xu Ping'an, who is recognized as the luckiest person in the ball in the past hundred years, and is a symbol of wealth.

It seems that the gods are around Xu Ping'an to protect the growth of this chosen son, and all the unfavorable events against Xu Ping'an will eventually develop strangely into the nutrients for Xu Ping'an's growth.

Once you don't believe it, twice you don't believe it, ten times, after a hundred times?

It's not a matter of believing it or not, it's a miracle!

The top five religions in human society with the highest number of religious believers are convinced, and they call Xu Ping'an the son of God, do you dare to believe it.

Look at how many big names and even countries have become stepping stones on his road to success since Xu Ping'an's rise.

Mi Guo, the overlord of the earth back then, is now honestly bowing to the Star Spirit Empire.

The facts are there, no matter who you are, it is difficult for you to refute what happened to Xu Ping'an.

There are no other words to explain it except luck.

When everyone was looking at Xu Qian on the altar and chanting the sacrificial text loudly, it began to rain in the entire Star Spirit City, and it rained without warning, drizzling, and it stopped after just wetting the ground.

The air became clearer.

Many people were trembling, this is okay with the, and their hearts began to turn over, and soon, they began to concentrate their spirits and pray to the heavens, and they didn't dare to have any other thoughts.

All the top echelons of the empire became devout believers in God at this moment.

On the earth, those religious people who watched the live broadcast directly fried the pot, and many people watched, miracles, miracles.

At this time, on the altar of the empire, Xu Qian had already announced his sacrifice with a solemn expression.

Xu Ping'an walked over and saluted to the heavens again with Xu Qian.

After completing all this, the father and son left the altar backwards, and after leaving the altar, they turned around, and Xu Qian followed behind Xu Ping'an and strode down the mountain.

The crowd automatically separated into a road, Xu Ping'an was in front, Xu Qian was behind, and then everyone followed, going down the mountain together.

The ritual of sacrificing to the heavens is completed.

Everyone got into the car and returned all the way back to the Star Palace, and with the return of the convoy, everyone in the Star Palace began to quiet down, and Lei Heyuan arranged for someone to guide everyone to the Star Spirit Palace.

It is a large hall that can accommodate several thousand people.

Xu Qian's coronation ceremony will be held in the Star Spirit Temple.

There is a special person to guide everyone to the designated location, and the heads of all the countries of the earth have been guided over, and they will be witnesses to witness Xu Qian's coronation as emperor.

The time was not very long, everyone stood in the designated position, at this time, the solemn and glorious music sounded, and Isabella, dressed in a queen's costume, walked into the Star Spirit Hall with Xu Ping'an's arm.

Everyone began to applaud, Xu Ping'an and Isabella held the scepter of the emperor and empress, and they also nodded and smiled at everyone, and came all the way to the seat on the nine steps in front of them and sat down.

Soon, Xu Qian, dressed as an emperor, appeared, climbed the steps amid the cheers of everyone, and came to Xu Ping'an.

Looking at Xu Ping'an and Isabella, Xu Qian knelt down on one knee.

Xu Ping'an and Isabella stood up, Xu Ping'an walked over, looked at Xu Qian, and didn't speak for a long time.

Directly took off the imperial crown from his head and slowly placed it on Xu Gan's head, Xu Qian raised his head and looked at his father.

The eyes were already moist.

Xu Ping'an raised his hand to take off his sword from his waist, and the emperor's scepter in his hand, holding it with both hands and handing it to Xu Qian, who took it with both hands.

Xu Ping'an helped Xu Qian up and helped Xu Qian suck the sword.

At this time, a staff member next to him walked up with a thick constitution of the Star Spirit Empire, and Xu Ping'an took the tray.

Xu Qian placed his left hand on the constitution on the tray and the emperor's scepter on his chest with his right hand, and began to read his oath.

Demonstrate your allegiance to the Star Spirit Empire, defend the Star Spirit Empire's constitution, and defend your determination to defend the people of the Star Spirit Empire.

Holding Xu Gan's hand, he walked towards the throne of the Star Spirit Empire, and came to the seat, Xu Ping'an looked at Xu Qian with doting eyes and said, "Sit down, in the future, the burden of the Star Spirit Empire will be handed over to you."

Xu Qian nodded seriously, turned around and sat down, at this time, thunderous applause sounded in the huge Star Spirit Hall, and everyone was congratulating Xu Qian on his ascension to the throne.

Next, Xu Ping'an began to release his speech, using information images and TV broadcasts, but Xu Ping'an's face was on the Star Spirit Empire and the Earth TV or video or even the information image.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Star Spirit Empire has gone through a lot of ups and downs to get to where it is today, and this is inseparable from the joint efforts of the people and the government."

"The years are unforgiving, and I have reached the age where I need to retire" When he said this, Xu Ping'an's eyes were a little moist.

Take a deep breath and continue

"The older generation retires, the new generation grows up, takes over the burden and continues to move forward"

"The same is true of the Star Spirit Empire, you can take a look at the current high-level government, the average age is less than fifty years old, and it can be called the youngest leadership in the human realm."

"Empires belong to the younger generation"

"The world belongs to the younger generation"

"They are all elites, and they will continue to lead the Star Spirit Empire to greater glory," Xu Ping'an said this, and everyone gave warm applause.

Xu Ping'an pressed his hands down a few times, and the scene was quiet, and his eyes turned to the people with titles on the empire, and then slowly moved to the crowd of people who wore medals on their chests.

The camera also followed Xu Ping'an's eyes, and everyone knew what Xu Ping'an was looking at.

"I'm retired"

"But"

"I, I, I really can't bear my subjects," Xu Ping'an was really a little choked up when he said this, and the reluctant tears in his eyes were clearly seen by everyone.

At this time, Xu Qian left his seat and came to Xu Ping'an's side, hugging Xu Ping'an and comforting his father.

Everyone once again applauded, and the words "father, kindness, son, and filial piety" appeared in many people's minds.

Many people were moved by the warm scene in front of them, and many people were wiping their tears, applauding at the video and TV, and sending their blessings.

Especially the people of TC on the earth, since ancient times, all emperors have ruthlessly held the power of the emperor, and only when they are about to die will they pass on the throne.

The emperors in history who were able to do this were all happy and well-deserved.

The most famous is Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, who abdicated early to let his son take over, and spent several years playing with wine, and then passed away without concern and pain.

Xu Ping'an, being able to give up the throne in advance under his own physical health has to be said to be a great wisdom.

It also made a good example for the future Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire to transfer power.

After a while, Xu Ping'an recovered, patted Xu Gan's shoulder, and then Xu Qian went back and began to continue his speech.

reviewed the process of struggling with the high-level leaders of the Apocalypse Group, and expressed his optimism about Xu Qian and the future of the Star Spirit Empire, and then ended his speech.

In the end, Xu Ping'an looked at the camera and said, "I'm retired, I'm relaxed, I have a lot of free time, and you welcome old friends to come to me for a drink and brag."

This sentence immediately made everyone laugh, and everyone began to applaud again.

I really don't accept it, all of Xu Ping'an's public statements are straightforward and honest, after so many years, it really hasn't changed at all.

Next, the staff began to read aloud the promotion order of Xu Qian, the Emperor of the Star Spirit Empire.

Rewards are given to one's siblings, and the ministry is a cash prize.

The same goes for the reward for the duke.

Thirty-two were promoted to dukes, one hundred and forty-nine to marquises, and seven hundred and twenty-two to earls.

More than 3,900 people were given viscounts or barons.

Gave Yarman, Zhang Jianbin , Guo Ming, Paku, and Vivian as dukes, and the titles continued for one generation and then began to be reduced in accordance with the laws of the empire.

Then there was the general amnesty, which was granted to those who were more remorseful for minor offenders, and the number of persons was 6,317.

Finally, Xu Qian stood up and personally announced the last order.

"This year, all the people of the Star Spirit Empire will pay half the tax when they make the annual tax settlement."

"The income tax of all local enterprises will also be reduced by half."

After this order was announced, the people watching the live broadcast in the Star Spirit Empire cheered in unison, and they were no longer satisfied with Xu Qian.

This is Xu Ping'an's suggestion to Xu Qian, although this will make this year's tax much less, but it can allow Xu Qian to win people's hearts as quickly as possible.

Now it seems that the effect is really not ordinarily good.

The emperor handed over, and the Star Spirit Empire, from the government officials, to the people of all classes, down to the prisoners in the prison, all gained real benefits, and everyone's senses for Xu Qian rose a lot.

Hello, hello, everyone.

It is not an exaggeration to use this sentence to describe the Star Spirit Empire at this moment, everyone has benefited, and everyone will have a lot more spare money in their pockets.

It is conceivable that next year, the per capita consumption of the Star Spirit Empire will reach a higher level, which is very beneficial to the economic pull.

The awards promulgated by Xu Qian today are decisions made after Xu Ping'an, several prime ministers, and hundreds of officials studied together.

The state gives up a year's income and returns wealth to the people, so that the people have money in their hands, and it is not a problem to stimulate the economy at all.

It can be regarded as a distribution of wealth among the people of the Star Spirit Empire, which is very beneficial to the sustainable development of the Star Spirit Empire.

Unlike all countries on the planet, wealth is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, even if the state gives financial subsidies, it still flows into the hands of those invisible monopoly companies, which cannot fundamentally change the gap between the rich and the poor.

Sooner or later, social contradictions will accumulate to a certain point and will erupt.

The Star Spirit Empire's distribution once every few decades can greatly alleviate this social contradiction, and the benefits obtained will be great.

After all the rewards were announced, the next thing was the state banquet, the heads of state who came to watch the ceremony, the officials of the empire, the lords of the empire, and the merits of the empire.

The whole country was jubilant.

At this point, the live broadcast of the transfer of imperial power of the Star Spirit Empire is over.

Soon, the merchants of the Star Spirit Empire began to carry out large-scale promotions, and the corporate income tax was reduced by half, which was not a small amount, and there was enough profit to carry out promotions.

The stock market, which was directly stimulated, began to react, and after this period of decline, the stock market began to rebound today, and various stocks began to rise broadly.

Of course, the main thing is that thanks to the smooth transition of imperial power, there is no chaos in the Star Spirit Empire, which is what people are most worried about.

Now that they are all at ease, it is only natural that the stock market will rise.

Xu Ping'an is very happy, many people don't understand why Xu Ping'an is happy, during the state banquet, Xu Ping'an is walking around with a wine glass.

With many national leaders, they drink frequently, talk and laugh in harmony.

Everyone didn't know that Xu Ping'an's excitement began at the end of the altar, and when the father and son completed the ceremony, Xu Ping'an felt a lot more relaxed.

The feeling of being stared at and making me uncomfortable all the time is swept away.

This alone made Xu Ping'an extremely happy.

drank a lot, and at night he even dragged Isabella and Song Xinyun to all Hu Tianhai, so that the two women had nothing to do with Xu Ping'an.

The two women were also happy today, and they couldn't bear to sweep away Xu Ping'an's interest, and the three of them spent a long-lost happy night together.

Next, Xu Ping'an began to get busy, and after a few days of busyness, after sending off the heads of state of various countries, he relaxed.

After discussing with Isabella, ten days later, Xu Ping'an and his party left the Star Palace directly and went to Xinghai City to settle down.

The Star Palace is the residence of the emperor, and when he retires, he will leave completely.

Xu Qian's family moved into the Star Palace, and Lei Heyuan also completed the handover with Lange, from today on, Lange is the chief butler of the Star Palace.

More than a month passed slowly, and on this day, Xu Ping'an took the aircraft to a certain military base, and the new generation of exploration spacecraft returned from the test.

The data obtained was a bit unexpected, both good and bad.

The good thing is that the speed, pressure, attack power, and agility of the spacecraft have exceeded expectations in all aspects, especially in terms of speed, which has exceeded the predicted data by a lot.

In terms of the release of acoustic fusion energy, various data have also perfectly met or even exceeded the expected goals.

The disadvantage is also very obvious, the physical fitness of human beings cannot withstand this speed, and many people have dizziness, accelerated blood flow, and cerebral replenishment during the ultra-high-speed operation of the spacecraft.

If you want to change this situation, you need to upgrade the magnetic gravity device, but over the years, the direction of magnetic research has been unanimously placed on the magnetic shield.

If we start researching it now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through in a short period of time.

Xu Ping'an is retired, but the Tieshushan base and even the Royal Academy of Sciences are still under Xu Ping'an's direct management, and Xu Qian is also happy to delegate power in this regard.

Just think that these two departments are Xu Ping'an's toys, and they have no impact on the empire.

Xu Ping'an looked at the report, and then at the researchers who were doing it, everyone frowned, not knowing how to solve this problem.

"Let's all go out and relax, Changhe, you stay for a while" Xu Ping'an spoke directly, everyone stood up and saluted and left, Guo Changhe stayed.

Leaving his own actions, he sat directly beside Xu Ping'an, took out the golden grass from his pocket and handed it to Xu Ping'an, and lit it for Xu Ping'an, and then lit one himself.

"Changhe, I remember that your military was working on a dormant project, how is this project going," Xu Ping'an asked as he spit out the smoke in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the dormancy project is now only able to make people sleep for five months, and after five months, they must be active for three months before they can go into a second hibernation."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean" Guo Changhe seemed to understand what Xu Ping'an meant.

"It is impossible to break through the magnetic field research in a short period of time, we ignore this aspect, if we want not to affect the new home plan, we can only start with the astronauts' physical fitness and dormancy technology" Xu Ping'an directly said his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, this plan can be tested, the selection of astronauts is much easier than the selection of astronauts on Earth at the beginning."

"I believe that if we return to the strict astronaut selection rules we had at the beginning, we will select qualified astronauts who can resist the side effects of the spacecraft's operation," Guo Changhe said with great certainty.

"Don't say so sure, let's experiment"

"Next, you do a few things to prepare"

"First, based on the test data, we will optimize the design of the exploration spacecraft to the greatest extent possible."

"Second, organize people to immediately start research on magnetic fields."

"Third, as we have just discussed, select qualified astronauts to train in conjunction with the dormant program."

"I'll only give you one year, and you must give me a feasibility report after a year," Xu Ping'an looked at Guo Changhe and said.

"I understand, I will go down immediately, there is a year of testing, we will find a good way," Guo Changhe said seriously.

"By the way, the test of the spacecraft continues, everything starts from the actual use, and your military is responsible" Xu Ping'an admonished, Guo Changhe nodded and agreed.

In the afternoon, Xu Ping'an left the base and returned home and began to live a peaceful life.

Outside the solar system, an unknown cosmic galaxy.

The second batch of exploration ships of the spider civilization began to set off, using the home planet of the spider civilization as the exploration in ten directions, and must find the human civilization in the mouth of the newly attached monster.

The scientific and technological development of this civilization is too fast, and it must be found out as soon as possible to be completely subdued, according to the statistics of the spider civilization, the scientific and technological mileage that the spider civilization took more than 500 years to complete.

It only took a few decades for the Terran civilization to do it, and this speed of development made the spider civilization very uneasy.

If this human civilization is allowed to continue to develop, sooner or later there will be a day when it will encounter this human civilization, and it will be difficult to say who will lose and who will win at that time.

This time, the people who set off are determined to die, and will transmit the coordinates of exploration to the last moment of their lives, and the exploration ship they are on is also the latest generation.

Time passed day by day, everything was calm in the Star Spirit Empire, and Xu Ping'an's focus at the moment was already on raising flowers, grass and goldfish, enjoying himself.

Either he drank tea and drank with some old friends, and he didn't interfere in any political affairs at all, even if something found Xu Ping'an's head, Xu Ping'an simply refused.

Clearly stated, I am retired, you go to Xu Qian for these things, don't bother me.

It's okay to drink tea and drink, but don't talk about political affairs.

Time slowly passed a year, and the project in charge of Guo Changhe had a breakthrough.

The retrained young man is now able to withstand the side effects of the ship's navigation, and the hibernation system has also made a breakthrough.

Explore the spaceship and re-optimize the design with the data collected by the bureau, and according to the latest design scheme, you can catch up with the first fleets to go to their new home within ten years.

In fifteen to sixteen years, you can reach your new home.

After Guo Changhe reported to Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an discussed with Xu Qian, construction, construction must be carried out.

Directly build two new exploration ships and four new transports.

At the same time, the construction of a newest starship will be carried out for six months after the completion of construction, and if all aspects meet the standards, two ships will be built directly to strengthen the military.

Xu Qian discussed with Vivian and communicated the matter, and Vivian rubbed her head and agreed, saying that she would arrange this amount of money.

Now, the five-year treasury bond is due, and Vivien must also arrange the funds for the exchange of the treasury bonds, which is a heavy task.

Xu Qian gave Vivian an an idea, temporarily increase the fiscal deficit, and after the national debt is paid, directly issue bonds of 500 billion star coins.

In this way, for a few years, the finances of the Star Spirit Empire will be greatly eased.

Vivian understood what Xu Qian meant, and knew that the new home was the top priority of the Star Spirit Empire, and said that she would arrange the use of funds and would not affect the country's development strategy.

Xu Qian was very pleased, Vivian's difficulties Xu Qian understood that now the population of the Star Spirit Empire had exceeded 200 million, and the employment pressure brought was very great.

It can be said that Vivien's difficulties are more difficult than the circumstances of any previous prime minister.
