Chapter Seventy-Eight: Between the Two States
Before the Star Fort, although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit, and many soldiers set up guardrails and other facilities in the night. Tomorrow the Star Crown Ceremony will begin, and everything must be arranged before then. The preparations for the Star Crown are progressing in an orderly manner, and the guards of the Star Castle have been raised to the highest level to prevent sabotage by ill-intentioned people.
Star Castle Hall, on the throne, a resolute white-haired old man in a red robe is sitting on it, and the five-star crown on his head shows his identity, he is the emperor of the current Star Crown Kingdom, Xinggu. At this time, he was silently looking at Xingsheng who was crouching not far from the throne.
Xingsheng raised his head and said in a respectful tone: "Father, in today's era, the rapid development of magic and magic tools has changed the rules that have lasted for thousands of years, and in the past few decades, it has changed the power structure of the world. The Star Crown Kingdom no longer has an absolute advantage, magic and magic tools are in the position of applicability and powerful creative transcendence ability, if they no longer absorb and develop, they are still so complacent, the Star Crown Kingdom is in danger, Father!"
Xing Gu was silent, as the controller of a big country, these things were naturally very clear in his heart, although he was clear in his heart, but it was not as easy to implement as he said. After attacking each other with the Corona Empire, the Subhuman Alliance, and the Apocalypse Republic for so many years, they have killed and injured each other countless times, and the hatred between them has reached the point of irreparability. Although since the failure of the joint crusade against Warcraft twenty years ago, the common threat of mankind is Warcraft, and the wars between each other have basically disappeared, at most there are some small frictions, and the goal is the same against the Warcraft that is entrenched in the south of the continent to recuperate and attack humans at any time. The continent has ushered in a relatively long period of peace, and it is precisely because of the development of peace that the development of magic and magic tools can be so rapid, and their abilities have also been suppressed by them.
The new generation of capable people in the Star Crown Kingdom may not be so prejudiced and hostile to other countries, after all, they have not experienced the cruel war and the friends around them, and their relatives have fallen one by one. But for the older generation, they who have experienced these things cannot forgive and cannot forgive. Now that they are at the top of the kingdom, they control a force or hold great power, and even the emperor cannot ignore their words. In the previous reforms that introduced magic and magic technology, it was also because of the obstruction and disapproval of these people that it was forced to stop.
"Sheng'er, the emperor also understands this, and it's not the first time you have said this to the emperor. However, reform did not succeed overnight, and the last time the reform was carried out, some people were too tough, and if they did, it would not only be unsuccessful, but would cause turmoil in the kingdom. This matter will be discussed at a later date. Xinggu said.
"Father, the son has a way to make the reform successful. Xingsheng seemed to expect Xinggu to say this, and his face did not show any change, but said confidently.
"Speak. Hearing Xingsheng so confident, Xinggu asked.
"During this Starlight Festival, Erchen went to the Eastern and Western Territories successively to communicate with the lord about reforms. Although the Shi Lei Lord and the Senluo Lord in the east did not agree to the reform, the Yan Lord and the Celestial Dragon Lord in the West who came into contact with the Corona Empire also agreed to introduce magic technology and carry out the reform. Xingsheng said.
A gleam appeared in Xing Gu's eyes, and he asked, "Is this serious?"
"Erchen didn't dare to deceive. Xingsheng kowtowed.
"Get up. is worthy of being the emperor's child, and this thing is done well. Xinggu had a slight smile on his face.
"Father Xie. ”
"Now that the implementation issue has been resolved, the next step is to negotiate with the Corona Empire as soon as possible. The previous missions to the Corona Empire were all intended to establish diplomatic relations with the kingdom and conduct trade, and I will send someone to the Corona Empire for exchanges, and I will probably get a reply soon. Standing up, Xing Gu said with some excitement, there are few things that can make him happy from the bottom of his heart, this matter is of vital importance to him and to the kingdom. Although Xinggu was a little puzzled why the two lords who had been reluctant to let go of their mouths before suddenly agreed, now that they had agreed, they had to speed up the pace of reform.
"Father, the establishment of diplomatic relations, the sons and daughters have already completed it for their father. Xingsheng took out a letter from his bosom and put it above his head with his hands raised, "After getting the consent of the two lords, Erchen immediately went to the capital of the Corona Empire, met the emperor of the empire, and immediately got permission after saying the idea of building a transportation business, and wrote a letter for Erchen to pass on to his father. He promised that as soon as the kingdom recognized the corona empire's construction trade, the corona empire would immediately send a message to build a trade with the kingdom. ”
"Oh, show the Emperor. Xinggu said with some eagerness. A black-robed man emerged from the shadows, walked towards Xingsheng, and picked up the letter. After not feeling any threat, he walked up to Xinggu and handed him the letter.
Xinggu opened the envelope and read all the golden words on it. It is a letter written with a special pigment that can only be used by the emperors of empires and kingdoms, and it is a great sin for others to use it. This is the personal letter of the Emperor of the Corona Empire, and Xinggu is sure of it. "Hahaha, okay, Sheng'er, you did a good job this time. Putting down the letter, Xinggu couldn't help but smile, and walked towards Xingsheng to help him.
"Father Xie. Xingsheng said respectfully.
As soon as Xing Gu flipped through the palm of his hand, a booklet appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Xing Sheng, who respectfully took it, "This is the policy and method written by this emperor before for the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Corona Empire and the introduction of magic, this matter is left to you to be fully responsible, you can change the subtleties, but the overall direction cannot be changed." ”
"Father Xie, my son will definitely do his best to complete this matter. Xingsheng took the booklet, a little excited, and knelt down again.
"Sheng'er, you did a good job this time, you look like the heir of the kingdom. After this is over, you will also start to take over some political affairs, my old bones will not last long, until then you will have to grow up and support the kingdom. Xinggu looked at Xingsheng with satisfaction and said.
"Father, you are in good health, and you will be able to rule the kingdom for another hundred years. Xingsheng lowered his head and said hurriedly.
"Get up, Sheng'er, it's good that you have this heart. Life and death are fate, even the emperor is no exception, I am not the old monster of the academy, it will all depend on you in the future. Xinggu helped Xingsheng up and said.
"Father, Emperor......" A tear appeared in Xingsheng's eyes.
"The emperor's people, if you have tears, you don't flick. ”
"Yes. Xingsheng wiped away the tears in his eyes and said respectfully.
"Tomorrow is the Star Crown Ceremony, and I will say about the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Corona Empire on the Star Crown Ceremony, which can be regarded as giving the Corona Empire enough face. ”
"Father is wise. But if there is opposition from the diehards......"
"I am the emperor of the Star Crown Kingdom, if I don't even oppose the emperor's decision, there is no need to stay in this country anymore, no one can change what I decide. "Xinggu's momentum has changed, he was like an old man on the verge of death before, but now he is a real emperor!
