"Your heart is occupied by the whole world. You Li said gently, and it was not clear in his tone whether it was admiration, or a kind of worry, or disdain for a careerist.

"In this world, there will only be one country and one emperor. The true crown does not belong to this one on my forehead, but to this world. ”

"Why is Your Majesty obsessed with this?" Youli sighed, taking back all the demonic power around him.

For a moment, the stars dissipated and the darkness peeled away.

The little bit of morning light outside the window, which did not appear to be strong, seemed to have finally found a place to live, and rushed desperately into the room, like children chasing their dreams.

"Youli, have you spied out what I'm thinking?" said the little emperor in a low voice.

"I saw in His Majesty's heart light, fire, power, and something that most people didn't have. ”

"Tell me?"

"Persistence. Youli deliberately said these two words very clearly.

"Is this your snooping or your speculation?" the little emperor continued.

"Your Majesty, this can only be found through the prying eyes of magic. I am a fool and cannot make judgments that only a wise man can have. Youli humbly explained.

"The fool or the wise are never absolute, but can only be relative. Some people seem to be smart, but in the words of the imperial religion that I don't like very much, they are 'unenlightened'. They can't understand the ultimate meaning of life, the future direction of the empire, and the ultimate fate of the whole world. ”

The little emperor became more and more excited, and even stood up from the wooden seat, opened his arms and looked out the window at the light.

This action is like swearing that he is a collaborator of light, and it seems to be embracing something.

"Future. I thought about it and said it unconsciously.

"Future, yes, that's right. I will lead this empire through a brief period of pain, and when all can endure this pain, they will be able to ascend and truly become the only one in this world. Although the whole world does not need to be purified, it must also go through a brief period of war. When all human beings hold a bright red banner together, their future will be happy. The little emperor said, his words full of pride and longing for the future.

"But Your Majesty, just now I spied a little picture of the future. Seemingly, it doesn't seem to be what you say it is. Youli whispered, for fear of angering the person in front of him who was on the verge of madness.

But even so, these soft words smashed like a meteorite into the wonderful world of illusion that the little emperor had just constructed.

"Impossible! The subjects of the empire cooperate with the dragons, and the royal family of the empire restores the bloodline of the dragons, then the power of the empire will be superior to that of the other four powers, and when the time comes, after a short period of artillery fire, we will only have one world. ”

The little emperor still maintained the same fanaticism as before.

"I'm a fool, I don't see the armies of the empire or the war, I don't see the deeper future, I just see the world, or the planet, for a moment. Youli explained.

"Yes for a moment, what is it?" the little emperor asked in a low voice as he walked into Youli's side.

Although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, this kind of Weiya, as an emperor, almost makes Youli unable to breathe.

"The snow and ice in the north derive to the south until it meets the ocean. Most of the planet is covered by ice and snow as far as the eye can see, and everything is so pure and white. Youli explained with a little poetry.

Although it looks like a poem written by a Westerner, there is no beauty in the elegant wording, only a suffocating horror.

"That's a short period of pain. The future of the empire and the future of the world, they will not be out of my control. It was in the past, it won't be now, and it won't be in the future. The little emperor said, and sat back in his seat.

After a little gasp for the lack of oxygen caused by the excitement just now, the little emperor closed his eyes tightly and eased for a few seconds.

Knock, knock, knock!

Seven crisp bells were mixed with seven dull bells that marched in sync, and together rang the beginning of the morning in the true sense of the entire imperial capital.

The huge bell tower of the empire is not far from the location of the ruling palace in the imperial palace, and even a short distance closer than the sleeping palace of the little emperor.

The sound of the bell revealed a very important problem to him.

That's time – that's it.

Thinking of this, the little emperor continued the action of the short pause just now, and took out a few slightly old Huobi from a non-obvious corner of the drawer.

It doesn't look like a new gold coin created by the little emperor when he ascended the throne, but rather like the style made by the previous emperor in the early years of his reign.

Blowing away the dust slightly, the little emperor placed the coin on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Youli with the help of the smooth surface.

Then came the second, the third...... to the tenth.

The little emperor took out ten imperial fire coins in a row. It was like a forced pull out of his not-so-wealthy purse.

"Your Majesty, this, I can't ask for this. Youli looked at such a reward, or a transaction, and hurriedly excused himself.

"Why? Refusing a reward is also a violation of the law in the Flame Empire. The little emperor suddenly said solemnly.

"According to the rules of our soothsayers, the first order will be free for all guests. ”

Youli said, prepared in his heart, but still mustered up the courage to push the coin back.

"Is the traitor free? I and the Flame Empire don't need such a thing as free. You must know that the people in the east of our continent need the most is bearing. Besides, the free stuff is the most expensive. The little emperor said, and pushed the coin back again.

Youli looked at the little emperor's commanding eyes, and after thinking for a while, he still put all the coins in his pocket and got up to bow to the little emperor.

"We'll see you later. The little emperor said softly, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This feeling germinated in life, but in the next second, it was consumed by the flames deep in his heart, leaving behind only the fire that belonged to the empire and the light that belonged to the dragons.

Reality has long allowed an emperor standing at the gate of fate to choose any other desire.

Those who have ideals always have to give up some of their desires and pursue some more.

"Your Majesty, we'll meet. Youli said respectfully, lifted the long skirt a little, and half-squatted to perform the etiquette of a Western country to meet the monarch.

......

When the huge pendulum inside the imperial capital struck again, it was already nine times in a row, prompting the beginning of the morning meeting of the imperial capital.

As usual, the morning meeting was presided over by the Emperor in a spacious palace on the first floor of the Imperial Ruling House.

Although today's topic is slightly different from the usual, it basically revolves around the topic of Longqing that has been set.

The little emperor sat high on the golden emperor's throne, wearing his own golden crown on his head, but he didn't want to listen to anything more.

After all, in this empire closely related to the military, the prime minister and the imperial officials are only serving the military of the empire, they have always been only the emperor's assistants, and cannot completely take over the military of the empire.

Even if the prime minister held some military positions in the empire, he could not get away from the issues related to administration.

There were only four days left before Long Qing, and the little emperor sitting on the emperor's throne just listened indifferently to the gushing speeches of the people below.

"After all, it's all a topic I've arranged. The little emperor smiled, almost falling asleep in the slightly sleepy summer atmosphere.

Knock, knock,...... Boom.

When the clock within the empire struck twelve times in succession, the empire's dispensable morning meeting finally came to an end.

As the emperor took the lead and left the table, Prime Minister Luo Heng and other officials only saluted respectfully and left.

......

The night, accompanied by the scorching summer breath of the Flame Empire, and finally a peaceful day for the little emperor. After a day or night, the sun gradually set, but it didn't seem to throw any more afterglow into the world.

For the little emperor of the Flame Empire, in just fifteen days before Long Qing, various undercurrents of the empire surging floated towards his surface from time to time.

It was as if he was at the helm, but beneath the dark and deep ocean was a monster in a dark position. From time to time, they would dig their horrific tentacles out of the bottom of the ship, and open their dark maws to swallow up the entire ship.

Ye Mingyuan's departure, the rebellion in the west, Ye Gu's rebellion, Yan Sheng's death, Lin Gu's disappearance, Yan Hai's rebellion, the dark movement of the deep blue, and Ye Gu's assassination.

It's all like a curtain in the middle of the night, pulling down the last protection and moving on to the next section of the script.

In front of him, there is only Long Qing now, the ultimate display of the power of the opposite of darkness.

Thinking of this, the little emperor straightened his body a little, put the scepter safely beside him, and sat upright in front of the people in the audience.

The Imperial Banquet in the evening, like the scene of yesterday, is repeated today.

"Yesterday there were traitors who wanted to destroy Longqing, and they have become sinners and objects to be judged in the Empire. However, I do not want them to be formally judged, and their sacrifice as a sacrifice to the dragons may be their best destination. The little emperor said to the officials sitting on either side of the stage, holding the glass of imperial liquor in his hand high in front of him.

"Your Majesty, long live Longqing, long live the empire!" Luo Heng took the words, and also raised his glass with the movements of the little emperor.

"Long live Long Qing, long live the Empire!" the people in the audience followed the steps of the Imperial Prime Minister and the Emperor, and also made the same movements.

Even if they don't mean it, it doesn't matter anymore.

After drinking the fragrant pungent liquid in his mouth, Luo Heng did not completely hide the sorrow and fear in his eyes.

To this day, he is still unwilling to break his promises and agreements with Yegu, and even if Yegu has been arrested and sent to the Imperial Prison, he still hopes to prevent the disaster.

Unlike yesterday's feast, today's feast, including the Little Emperor, was filled with only a round container with a hot red and yellow liquid on the table, and a twisted flame at the bottom that continued to burn like hellish karmic fire.

In addition to the round container, each individual plate on the table contained objects that made Luo Heng, a person who had lived in Nandu and had contact with Westerners all year round, feel uncomfortable.

The shattered and mutilated internal organs, the fresh and frozen blood, the indescribable strange tentacles entwined, the tender body that was revealed by the Mo name, the fruit of the wolf clan under the scarlet, and the spherical strange objects wrapped in the hot breath all formed the perfect feast for the people in front of them to laugh and enjoy.

After a little sadness, Luo Heng still chose to join them.
