Chapter 326: Conquer the Empire! Absolute Power of the Crane in the Clouds!
"Hahahaha...... "Is there anything more ridiculous in this world?"
It was this remark again, and the crane in the cloud disdained to refute it.
There have been countless texts, countless books and newspapers explaining this, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Yun Zhonghe has the purest bloodline of the heir of the Yanxin Sect, and he has the same character attributes as the Yan Xinzong, both of which have brought a new civilization to the empire and can make the empire strong.
Or to put it more bluntly, the crane in the clouds needs the new Great Yan Empire, and the new Great Yan Empire also needs the crane in the clouds.
"Don't have anything to say?" said King Wen: "According to the laws of the empire, Yun Zhonghe committed the crime of treason, but Nian has made meritorious contributions to the empire and is a member of the imperial family, so he is sentenced to exile." Where is the loyal army of the empire, escorting the crane in the clouds out of the New Great Yan Empire and going into exile for thousands of miles. β
At this command, everyone couldn't help but look to the sky.
His Royal Highness the Crane in the Clouds is on the airship at this time, how to arrest it? How to escort it?
At this time, the crane in the clouds raised the airship.
Everyone was stunned, could it be that the crane in the clouds was about to escape? This is impossible.
Immediately after, the crane jumped directly from the airship, the parachute opened, and he slowly landed on the ground.
This...... Is this a provocation?
Before you were on the airship, the army still had a reason, because we couldn't catch you, so we couldn't escort you out of the country, and we couldn't exile you.
And now that you have jumped out of the airship and brought to the army, if we do not arrest you, will we not disobey the order?
The crane in the clouds raised his hands and signaled that any army could come and arrest him.
However, not a single soldier was dispatched.
The faces of the two ruling kings turned cold, this signal is very dangerous, even the legions of the empire have been bewitched by the crane in the clouds, and they are unwilling to come forward to arrest people.
King Wu said coldly: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, do you want to disobey orders?"
But the emperor's ** regiment remained motionless and gritted its teeth.
"General Luo Qiong, I order you to arrest the crane in the clouds and then exile him. "The king of the martial arts.
The tall general, wrapped in armor, stood motionless when he heard King Mushi's words.
"General Luo Qiong, do you want to disobey?" said the martial king.
Suddenly, that general Luo Qiong directly took off his helmet, took off the badge on his armor, and came to the king of Wu and said, "Your Excellency, I officially resign from the military. β
He would rather resign as a general than come forward to capture the crane in the clouds.
This was a huge slap in the face, and the faces of the two ruling kings suddenly became extremely ugly.
King Wu said sharply: "Where is Major General Xin Zheng?"
"The last general!" Major General Xin Zheng came out of the ranks.
King Wu said: "You take people to capture the crane in the clouds and exile them completely." β
Major General Xin Zheng said: "Please give the last general an order." β
King Wu wrote an order on the spot, then signed his name and stamped his own seal as the ruling king, and then handed the order to Major General Xin Zheng.
Major General Xin Zheng took over this military order, read it carefully, and then said, "Come here, follow me to carry out the military order." β
But......
No soldiers came out of the ranks.
Major General Xin Zheng's face couldn't help but twitch for a while, and then he pointed to the two soldiers behind him and said, "You two, follow me to carry out the military order." β
The two soldiers glanced at each other, took off their armor, took off all their weapons, and then knelt on the ground and tied each other.
The soldiers must obey the order, they are unwilling to arrest the crane in the clouds, so they strip off their military uniforms, but this kind of behavior is a deserter, and they need to go to the imperial court, so they tied themselves up and waited to accept the punishment of the emperor's ** law.
This was another slap in the face, and Major General Xin Zheng's eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent.
In the New Great Yan Empire, if there is anyone who hates the crane in the clouds the most, it is Major General Xin Zheng.
If it weren't for the appearance of Yun Zhonghe, maybe he would have married Vice President Ji Qing at this time, and he had been promoted to lieutenant general of the empire, and he could become a legion commander in the future, and he would be able to restore the surname Ji to become a royal family.
But all this is gone, Ji Qing has become the woman of the crane in the clouds, and her belly is already big.
And Ji Qing, who was originally proud and lonely, is now jealous of Tussauds every day, and even openly satirizes Queen Tussauds in the class of the Third Academy, and more than once in public, she directly speaks to attack Queen Tussauds.
Seeing such a Ji Qing, how could he not make Major General Xin Zheng heartbroken?
So he couldn't wait to break the crane in the clouds into thousands of pieces and shatter his bones.
Taking a deep breath, Major General Xin Zheng walked towards Yun Zhonghe and said loudly: "Your Excellency Yun Zhonghe, you are suspected of inciting members of the Xinzong Party to besiege the ruling palace in an attempt to subvert the highest authority of the empire, and according to the order of the ruling king, you will be officially arrested. β
But before he could get in front of the crane in the clouds, he was immediately surrounded by a group of people.
Hundreds of fanatical young men from the Xinzong Party surrounded Major General Xin Zheng and drew their sticks, looking at him with anger and hatred.
Major General Xin Zheng said coldly: "Are you going to disobey orders? Are you going to attack the Imperial Major General? Are you going to attack the emperor?"
Major General Xin Zheng's words are also ill-intentioned, this is to make the crane in the clouds and the army opposed.
If he is beaten by a member of the Xinzong Party, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the imperial army? In such a public view, it will definitely cause a rift between the military and the Xinzong Party.
Major General Xin Zheng said: "I will never resist, if you have the guts, you will kill me, I will go to capture the crane in the clouds, if you have the guts, you will kill me!"
Major General Xin Zheng shouted and walked towards the crane in the clouds again.
His martial arts skills are very high, and even hundreds of fanatical youths of the New Sect Party cannot stop him. But you can't really attack him, otherwise you'll fall into his hands.
Yun Zhonghe looked at Major General Xin Zheng who came to arrest him, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Prince Ji Sheng?Or Lord Ji Zhan, haven't you been waiting for your chance to appear? Now the time has come.
The real boss of the Emperor ** Regiment is Prince Ji Sheng, so Ji Yan will become the next generation of martial kings.
However, at this moment, suddenly a voice shouted: "Null, the ruling king's order is invalid!"
It turned out to be a woman's voice.
Immediately afterward, the black-pressed crowd moved out of the way.
It turned out to be Zheng Que, the most stubborn conservative in the Senate, who was sitting in a wheelchair at this time, still hanging a bottle, and his wife was pushing his wheelchair.
Although Elder Zheng Que's operation was successful, his body was still half paralyzed, and he was still unable to speak, so the person who shouted just now was his wife.
The woman pushed Zheng Que to the crane in the clouds.
Countless eyes looked at her, Zheng Que's wife was a little shy and a little excited.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zheng Que's wife said, "This order from the ruling king is invalid. β
At this time, King Wu sneered: "It's really ridiculous, when can women interfere in the affairs of the empire?"
Elder Zheng Que did not speak well, but he still said word by word: "I...... I officially ...... Open the impeachment of the two ruling kings, and impeach Zheng Que, impeach these three people for framing Lord Li Fu, before the matter is clarified, the three of them will stop printing, and the order will be invalid!"
After Elder Zheng Que said these words, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and all his spirit.
But the only people who can hear him clearly are still some people around him.
Zheng Que's wife took the tin horn and said with all her strength: "My husband is the elder of the Imperial Senate, and he has the power to impeach the ruling king and any member of the Senate, and once impeached, all the Great Seals must be stopped. The person impeached must submit relevant evidence within 10 days, and if the conclusive evidence is not submitted within 10 days, the impeachment will be automatically lifted. β
Then, the wife held up the impeachment in her husband's hand, with Zheng Que's signature clearly on it, as well as his handprint.
There was complete silence.
I didn't expect that at this critical moment, Elder Zheng Que would launch a suicide attack to cover the crane in the clouds.
Everyone was extremely moved and shocked in their hearts.
Elder Zheng Que, the most radical diehard, actually stood on the side of His Highness Yunzhonghe.
It seems that people's hearts are not stones, they will be heated after all, and the personality charm of His Royal Highness Yunzhonghe still conquered Zheng Que, an old stubborn.
First of all, there is no doubt that Elder Zheng Que is a true patriot.
There are two reasons why he attacked the crane in the clouds so frantically.
First of all, he is hostile to everything in the old world of the East, Yun Zhonghe is from the Eastern world, and he himself is full of prejudice against Yun Zhonghe, feeling that this is a treacherous person, and he must have come to seize power.
Secondly, the ruling king of civil and military affairs once told him very vaguely that Yun Zhonghe was once a secret agent of the dark king of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, so now it may still be an undercover agent of the enemy who came to subvert the imperial power.
The combination of these two reasons made him extremely hostile to the crane in the clouds, and he became the most stubborn conservative.
But after all, he is more foolish, and he also knows that gas lighting is backward and electric lighting is advanced. He also knows that cloud towels are good, and rough paper is bad. The gramophone is good, and the music of the crane in the clouds is good.
But the more this happened, the more he felt that Yun Zhonghe had ill intentions, and felt that this person was very dangerous, that he was an undercover agent of the enemy who came to subvert the New Great Yan Empire.
So he became more and more radical, and kept saying that he wanted to execute the crane in the clouds.
And what really had a huge impact on his spirit was Li Fu's death, he and Li Fu actually didn't deal with each other, but he knew Li Fu and knew this person's Taoism.
But Li Fu has always liked to promote some people with special talents, and he feels that Li Fu's mind is very biased.
So, when Li Fu was the first to install electric lights in his home, the ruling king approached him and wanted him to impeach Li Fu.
For the sake of the empire, Zheng Que agreed.
Because Zheng Que felt that Li Fu had been brainwashed and was bewitched by the crane in the clouds. Moreover, the impeachment of Li Fu is only to remove him from power, and he will not be arrested, let alone detained. Li Fu is also old, so he can also rest.
But I didn't expect Master Li Fu to commit suicide.
This brought an unprecedented impact to Zheng Que, who couldn't sleep every night during that time, and the boundless pain devoured his heart.
Especially after Lord Li Fu's suicide note was made public, Zheng Que asked himself again and again.
Is it possible that everybody is a fool? Is everybody brainwashed and bewitched by the crane in the clouds? Is there another possibility?
What the crane in the clouds has done is really for the new empire, for the world civilization?
The thought came to him like a demon, and every time it popped up, he immediately pressed it down.
You can't think like that, you can't doubt yourself, you must not doubt yourself.
What is the most painful thing for man? is to deny himself.
When one's beliefs are subverted, it's really bloody and terrifying.
In order to strengthen his crumbling heart, Zheng Que not only did not admit his mistake, but frantically attacked Li Fu and Yun Zhonghe, and even repeatedly appealed in the Senate to arrest the new sect party and execute Yun Zhonghe.
His attitude was almost insane, because he wanted to keep reinforcing his beliefs, and he felt that his self-doubt was about to break him.
Officially in this kind of collapse, the elder Zheng Que, who had not slept for several days and nights, was at the weakest moment of his body, and after being strongly stimulated by his wife, he directly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.
A cerebral hemorrhage was, of course, a devastating one that almost deprived him of his life.
But Yun Zhonghe took a huge risk by treating him regardless of his previous suspicions. Especially before the operation, Yun Zhonghe said to him that I didn't want to convince you, but if you want to continue to fight me, you must hold on and not die.
Moreover, Yun Zhonghe injected him with one-tenth of the rosemary pill, which would have died if it had been placed in an ordinary person's body.
But at that time, Zheng Que's vitality withered, and the blood veins in his body almost stopped flowing.
After this one-tenth of the drug entered his body, it immediately suspended his vitality and allowed him to enter an unprecedented spiritual world.
He was then anesthetic, operated on, and fell into a complete coma.
And this lethargy, this time the death wandering in hell, made him really face his heart.
Put aside all emotions, all dignity, listen to your innermost thoughts, and go in search of the truth.
So, here he is!
....................................
The civil and military rulers are almost crazy.
Zheng Que is crazy, he is absolutely crazy.
In the last impeachment, Li Fu resigned directly.
And this time he impeached himself and impeached the two ruling kings for framing Li Fu. When a Senate magnate launches a suicide attack, who can stop it?
Zheng Que's wife said: "According to the laws of the empire, the two ruling kings should stop printing for ten days and wait for Zheng Que to submit relevant evidence. Therefore, during this period of time, all the orders of the two ruling kings will be null and void!"
Then, Mrs. Zheng Que looked at Major General Xin Zheng and said, "Major General Xin Zheng, the order in your hand is invalid, and you must not arrest His Highness Yunzhonghe." β
King Wen shouted: "According to the laws of the Empire, when the Empire enters a state of emergency, then the impeachment warrant of the Senate is null and void. The ruling king still holds the seals and still holds power. β
Zheng Que's wife said: "But now the empire has not entered a state of emergency. β
King Wu shouted, "Then we can immediately declare that the Empire has entered a special state of emergency. β
Madame Zheng Que said: "The state of emergency in the empire needs to be approved by the Senate before it can take effect, and it requires two-thirds of the members of the Senate to raise their hands to agree. β
This is the law of the Empire, one link after another.
However, the core is that the Senate desperately balances the power of the ruling king and controls the ruling king to the death.
King Wen said: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, haven't you seen it? Now that the empire has entered the most dangerous moment, and more than 100,000 people have come to besiege the ruling palace, shouldn't it be in a state of emergency?"
King Wu said: "I propose that the empire immediately enter a special state of emergency, and the lords of the Senate will begin to vote by show of hands. β
Then, the civil and military rulers raised their hands and demanded a state of emergency for the empire.
In the castle high up in the ruling palace, two people looked through the window at what was happening outside.
An old voice said, "See, this is the system of the empire, when the world is peaceful, when the empire is developing at a high speed, this system is very good, it can be like putting power in a cage." But if the world is really in great danger, when the calamity of destruction comes, it becomes a great constraint, and before you can vote, the enemy has already come in. When danger comes, there can only be one voice in the empire, and all the people in the empire must unite under one person and condense into a fist, so that there is a possibility of victory. β
"Yes, father. Are we going to show up now? Help him turn things around. Ji Zhan asked.
The old voice said, "No, he has to face it himself." To become king, he wants to conquer everyone, not just those who support him, but also those who oppose him. And now he wants to conquer the legions of the Empire, and this conquest will not help anyone. If we go out now, we will directly turn the tide and turn the situation around. Will the future army listen to him, or will it listen to us? And he will try to unite as much as possible, including the members of the Senate, of course. The people of the New Sect Party are very enthusiastic, but they are too naΓ―ve, and they can be of great use in the next world war, but the top cabinet, they cannot hold it yet, and they have to hand it over to this group of senate people. β
..............................
The crane in the clouds also knows this deeply.
What he wants to conquer is all the people in the entire empire, although now there is a new sect party to support him, and countless people support him, but there is also the most critical force, that is, the imperial ** group.
Only by convincing the army and worshipping it thoroughly can the empire do its best in the next big war.
If you want to conquer the army, you can't rely on strategy, you can only rely on righteousness and strength.
He also needs to conquer the giants of the Senate, at least some of them.
The empire cannot function without them, they are all old and spicy politicians. The members of the New Sect Party, though loyal and fanatical, are too immature to be anti-adventurist.
Of course, once he really comes to power and takes charge of the empire, he will definitely let some of the giants of the New Sect Party enter the cabinet, so that the passionate and mature conservatives can balance each other and make up for each other.
King Wu shouted: "My lords, the empire has reached the most dangerous moment, and the empire we are guarding is about to be overthrown, look at these people, they are here to destroy the empire. Once they are allowed to seize power, the foundation of the empire will be ruined. Isn't it possible to enter a state of emergency at this most dangerous moment?"
"Raise your hands, the Empire is in a state of emergency!"
The two kings shouted, and all the senate giants, their right hands were about to move, wanting to raise them, but they didn't want to raise them.
Now is the most dangerous time, but also the most critical moment.
The Senate is one at this time, and once it is a giant, almost everyone will raise their hands, and it is absolutely impossible for half of them to raise their hands and half of them not to raise their hands.
Their minds are also complicated.
Emotionally, intellectually, they are reluctant to raise their hands, they are not stupid, they can see the new civilization, and they can also know the strength of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom from countless intelligence.
Therefore, they know in their hearts that after the crane in the clouds ascends to the throne, the empire may have to experience great turmoil and prepare for an unprecedented war. But this may be beneficial to the empire, so that the empire can be transformed and upgraded again in flames and wars.
However, standing in their respective interests, they are different.
After Yun Zhonghe takes the throne, he will definitely reorganize the Senate, so can everyone's power be retained?
Before, they didn't have confidence, but now the appearance of Lord Zheng Que gave them hope.
Zheng Que was so opposed to the crane in the clouds and attacked the crane in the clouds like this, but His Royal Highness the crane in the clouds still saved him regardless of his previous suspicions.
Therefore, this proves that His Royal Highness Yunzhonghe has a huge mind and can accommodate them, the giants of the Senate.
In this way, do you still want to oppose His Highness the Crane in the Clouds?
But now the situation is too urgent, and if someone raises their hand, there will be a domino effect, and everyone will raise their hand together. Otherwise, they will immediately be defeated as Yun Zhonghe's comrades, and then not only lose their power, but even lose their freedom, and be convicted of treason and exiled.
So now is the most dangerous time.
All the members of the Senate are shaky and may raise their hands at any moment.
And once the hand is raised, it means that the Senate and His Royal Highness Yunzhonghe have completely broken, and everything will be difficult to talk about in the future.
It is precisely because the ruling king of civil and military affairs knows this, so he will desperately force the Senate to raise his hand to express his position, and the empire will enter a state of emergency, so Zheng Que's impeachment will be invalid.
In that way, we can continue to capture the crane in the clouds, exile the crane in the clouds, and today's struggle will be a complete victory.
However, at this moment, Yun Zhonghe sighed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know your hearts, and I feel the same way. You are afraid that if you don't raise your hand, you will be regarded as a colleague and a victim of politics. And once you raise your hand, it means a complete break with me. Neither of these things do you want to happen. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will not force you to make such cruel choices, I will not let you stand on the abyss, I will not let you choose one or the other, because we are not a zero-sum game, and it is not a life and death game. β
"The empire is advanced and enlightened, so everything is open to say, and nothing can be said to others. β
"So I have to say first, once I am in power, once I become the king of the empire, it will not be the ruling king, but the dictatorship. Because the most dangerous moment is coming, the powerful Great Salty Demon Kingdom will soon rule the entire world, and the empire must have only one voice, and there can be no more internal friction. β
"Once I become a dictator, the Imperial Senate will be reformed and become the Supreme Cabinet and Fifteen Ministries of the Empire. And I will also bring some members of the New Sect into the cabinet, because they are professional elites, and they are good at building. Therefore, your power will definitely be dispersed, and even some people will lose their high power. β
After Yun Zhonghe finished speaking, his eyes looked at the giants of the Senate, as if waiting for their reaction.
After a long while, Yun Zhonghe said: "I am very relieved that you have not raised your hands, and I am grateful for your love for the Empire. β
The crane in the cloud said in a loud voice: "The two ruling kings, I don't play conspiracy in the empire, everything I have is in broad daylight. Including that I want to seize power, I want to become the king of the empire, you can say it openly and to everyone. β
"I want to seize power, I want to become the king of the empire, I want to lead the empire and the Great Xian Demon Kingdom to fight a war of alluring the country, a war to defend civilization, and a war to defend the world. β
"However, if I want to become the king of the empire, I will definitely not use the form of conspiracy, nor will I rely on the hundreds of thousands of people of the Xinzong Party to rush into the ruling palace, launch a coup d'Γ©tat, knock you all down, and then put me on the throne!"
"Master Li Fu committed suicide, and before he died, he wrote a suicide note, although it was shown to me, but everyone read it. Master Li Fu said clearly that we must unite, not divide. The empire can't be chaotic, and it must be right!"
"What is the right position, that is, to get the majority of the people in the empire to support me as the king of the empire! What is the majority of people? Just, is it just the new sect party? Of course not!"
"Most of them include the citizens of the Empire, the New Sect Party, the officials of the Empire, the lords of the Senate, and the legions of the Empire!"
"Now it seems that I have conquered the countless fame of the empire, conquered all the members of the new sect, and many middle and low-level imperial officials are also willing to stand on my side, because today more than seventy percent of the middle and low-level officials in DΓ¬ DΕ« have all gone on strike, and they are even in the ranks behind me. β
"However, the legions of the Empire have not supported me, and neither have the lords of the Senate!"
"If I didn't have your support, how could I get on the throne?
"So the two ruling kings, I really didn't come to the coup d'Γ©tat today, I didn't regard the two of you as opponents at all, I came today to conquer the emperor's ** group!"
Yun Zhonghe looked at the elite and powerful First Legion of the Empire, and shouted loudly: "The First Legion of the Empire, you are the pride of the Empire, and you are the most powerful army of the Empire. And what shall I rely on to conquer you?"
"By what shall I conquer you, that you willingly support me, support me, and be loyal to me. β
"Don't rely on rhetoric, don't rely on national righteousness, rely on strength, absolute power!"
"First Legion, you are the most powerful army in the Empire, representing the strongest force in the Empire. Yun Zhong Crane shouted: "But in my eyes, you are far from being strong, you are still very weak! The thousand new troops that I Yun Zhong Crane secretly trained, they are all ordinary imperial students, and their personal strength is far inferior to you. But...... My 1,000 secret new army can easily defeat 10,000 of you!"
"A new army of 1,000 students, defeat 10,000 of you!"
"Do you believe it or not? I will conquer you by absolute strength, power!"
........................
Note: After writing at three o'clock, should it be considered to have completed the task? The monthly ticket list is very intense, but I don't want to give up.
