Chapter 325: The Crane in the Clouds is Descending!
Now there is no limit to 5 monthly tickets, so give it to me.)
"You want us to step down?" said King Wen coldly, "Are you going to stage a coup d'état?"
"Yes, we're going to make a coup d'état. An imperial scholar and a key member of the Xinzong Party shouted: "We are going to make a coup d'état. ”
"Coup d'état!"
"Coup d'état!" shouted more than 100,000 people again.
"Coup?" shouted the king of Wu, "who gave you the power to coup d'état?
One of the young members of the New Sect said: "The power given to us by the Empire, the power given to us by countless citizens of the Empire. ”
Another member of the New Sect shouted: "We are backward and decayed, we can no longer represent the interests of the Empire, and we are no longer able to lead the Empire forward." ”
King Wen said loudly: "What evidence is there that we are backward and decaying?"
"Electric light!"
"Not only does our ruling palace have no electricity or electric lights, but after Li Fu's house installed electric lights, they killed him. ”
"We're rotten and backward. ”
"Hahahaha......" King Wen laughed and said: "Electric lights, just because we don't install electric lights, we will drive our two ruling kings from power, and we will drive all the senate adults from power, is there such a ridiculous thing in the world?
A professor who is a member of the New Sect Party said: "Electric light is a new thing, it represents light, it represents advancement. Not only do we not use it ourselves, but we also want to suppress the members of the Senate who have already used it.
King Wen said: "Okay, good, good, now I will tell you why the ruling palace does not use electric lights." Come on, bring them up. ”
A moment later, several samurai led an elephant.
Immediately after that, two wires were dragged over.
King Wen shouted: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the next experiment will be very cruel, and I am very, very unbearable." But in order to show the terrible and dangerous nature of electricity, it has to be done as a last resort. ”
"Power up!"
With the order of King Wen, someone pressed the electric switch, and then placed two wires on the elephant.
The terrible alternating current frantically hit this elephant.
......Suddenly, the elephant let out an extremely terrible scream, desperately trying to escape, but could not escape at all.
And just like that, a frantic electric current struck his whole body, and his whole body began to smoke.
It didn't take long for the elephant to fall down with a bang, and he was electrocuted alive, and even some parts of his body were directly scorched.
Everyone in the audience turned pale, and the crowd of more than 100,000 people who came to force the palace suddenly fell in momentum.
History is indeed repeated, and even in different planes, different worlds will repeat.
This group of people is really amazing, you must know that there are no elephants in the cold weather in the Empire, so this elephant was transported from a distant colony.
In order to suppress alternating current, Edison did this experiment, electrocuting an elephant in public, telling the world how unsafe alternating current is.
The reason why Edison experimented with elephants was because elephants are the largest creatures on the planet and have the strongest visual impact.
And the civil and military ruling king in front of him also thinks so.
The professors present, as well as the Imperial Ph.D., thought it was very ridiculous. Because in any book, it is clearly written that under relative voltage, direct current is much safer than alternating current. However, if you want to popularize electricity on a large scale, alternating current has the irreplaceable advantage of direct current.
And when every household installs electric lights, they are told how to use electricity safely. In addition, every household installed electric lights and assembled wires by members of the Shinjong Party, and the safety work was also done to the extreme.
In order to be safe, regardless of the cost, everything from the excuse to the light bulb to the switch to the wire is made the best insulation.
So far, there have been almost no safety accidents among the users who have installed electric lights in the entire imperial capital.
Because the people of the empire are very serious about doing things, and the new sect party is even more so.
But...... The two ruling kings in front of them performed electrocuting elephants, and the visual effect was still too strong.
One of the professors had to come up with information that after the installation of electric lights, the probability of accidents and the mortality rate were far lower than those of gas lamps and biogas lamps.
But doesn't King Wen know this fact? He knows it better than anyone else.
He immediately interrupted the other party and shouted loudly: "This is the reason why we do not install electric lights in the ruling palace, and the people can try new things, but every move of the ruling palace is an example for the world, how can we be hasty? This is related to the safety of tens of millions of imperial citizens, how dare we act rashly? It needs to be proved that it is safe enough after a lot of arguments before the ruling palace will install electric lights." Is this also backwardness, and is this also decay?"
Then, the ruling king shouted again: "After the establishment of the New Great Yan Empire, after several twists and turns, I don't know how many people paid for it, and finally determined the system of the ruling king and the senate, and now it has been hundreds of years. Now we want a coup d'état, and we want to remove all the adults from power in our two ruling kings and all the adults in the Senate...... Okay......"
"Open the door!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”
The door of the ruling palace slowly opened, and suddenly more than two dozen people came out, all of whom were members of the Senate.
Their faces are complicated, because their position is not stable, and everyone is biased towards the ruling king? Not necessarily.
There are also members of the Xinzong Party, and Li Fu is not the first.
And who can become a giant of the Senate is not extremely smart? Of course, there are extremely stubborn conservatives like Zheng Que, but many people can still see it clearly.
They know what is advanced and what is backward.
But for their own sake, they need to side with the two kings.
First of all, once the crane in the clouds ascends to the throne, he will at least be a dictatorship, and may even become an emperor in the future.
If it is a dictatorship, or an emperor, then the Senate may be abolished and become a cabinet.
Previously, the Senate and the ruling king were in charge of the empire, but it became the cabinet auxiliary dictator in charge of the world.
In this way, where will their Senate go? No one willingly relinquishes power.
And once the crane in the clouds forms a cabinet, will there be any place for these members of the Senate? Not necessarily?
Because many giants of the Xinzong Party are still waiting to fill this position.
Master Li Fu's testament is very clear, when the empire is in rapid development, power can be decentralized, so that everyone checks and balances each other, supervises each other, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption.
But when the empire is facing a crisis, and may face a world-class war, then everything will change, and power needs to be concentrated as much as possible, and the entire empire can only have one voice, so as to avoid internal friction and concentrate on fighting the enemy with all its might.
These truths are understood by the Senate. But it is clear that there are a few Taoist priests like Li Fu, and everyone is still unwilling to give up the power in their hands.
As a result, the two dozen or so members of the Senate, no matter what they thought in their hearts, whether they really wanted to or not, all stood behind the two ruling kings at this time.
King Wen shouted: "The crane in the clouds wants a coup d'état and wants to seize power, why doesn't he come himself? Hide behind and enjoy the success? Mobilize this group of cannon fodder to storm the ruling palace?"
As soon as these words came out, all the members of the New Sect Party were immediately angry.
What does this mean? His Royal Highness Yunzhonghe endured the country and suppressed us all the time, not allowing us to storm the ruling palace or launch a coup d'état, otherwise where would we be able to wait for today? On the day Lord Li Fu died, we would have launched a coup d'état.
The ruling king said this, and he really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
King Wen continued to chant: "You keep saying that you want to bring down our two ruling kings, and you want to bring down the Senate......? We are only about 20 people, and there are more than 100,000 of them, and they rush up and beat us to death, and the empire will have no ruling king, no more senators, and the crane in the clouds will be able to claim the title of king and emperor. Come on...... Come on......"
Then, King Wen took a step forward, directly tore off his clothes, opened his chest, and said to more than 100,000 people: "Come and kill us, kill us, we will step down, and the crane in the clouds will take the throne." ”
"Come on...... Kill us!".
"Kill us......"
Suddenly, the two consuls stepped forward, along with more than two dozen members of the Senate.
At the same time, members of the New Sect Party and more than 100,000 people took a step back.
This ruling king is really amazing, and his means of playing with people's hearts and politics are really first-class.
But...... It's really a bit inferior.
He is very skilled, because most of the members of the Xinzong Party are elites, high-level intellectuals, and may be very enthusiastic, but they are also very civilized.
Let them raise their arms and shout, rush to the ruling palace to coup d'état, they dare.
But let them wield a stick to kill the consul and the senate, they would never do it.
Because that would be too unseemly, too beastly, and not in line with the advanced attributes of the new sect party.
Moreover, the backwardness and decay of the ruling king and the Senate have also been a matter of the past one or two years, and countless citizens of the empire still have feelings for the upper echelons of the empire.
We want to fight, not fight.
Even if you step down, you must step down with relative dignity, rather than physically eliminate the other party.
In the minds of all the people in the New Sect Party, the ruling king and the Senate are also decent. According to their imagination, more than 100,000 people rushed to the ruling palace and shouted to bring down the ruling king and the senate.
This is the naivety of the members of the Shinjong Party!
That's right, most of the time the ruling king and the members of the Senate are decent, that's because it is not yet about their wealth and power, so of course they have to be decent, and once it comes to their own power, what can't they do?
So the New Great Yan Empire was still too civilized, and during the French Revolution, Louis XVI was guillotined.
And in front of him, the methods of this ruling king are a bit like a ruffian hooligan to blackmail an honest businessman, without saying a word, he directly inserted a knife into his thigh, bleeding like a torrent, and the businessman who opened the shop could only pay obediently in order to calm things down.
"Come on...... Come on......" Chanting King Wen shouted.
The two ruling kings, with more than two dozen members of the Senate, continued to advance and approached the members of the New Sect.
"Come and kill us, as long as you kill us, the crane in the cloud will be king, and we are done. ”
The two ruling kings kept advancing, and the members of the Shinjong Party kept retreating.
The momentum of more than 100,000 people was suppressed by just 20 people.
"Looks like they're not going to kill us, huh?" said King Wen, who then dressed and led the group back into the palace.
The palace gates were closed, and then the king appeared on the city walls.
"The ruling palace is the core of the power of the Empire, and our coup d'état is a violation of the laws of the Empire. ”
"Now, I order all of you to retreat! ”
"If you don't retreat, it's rebellion, it's treason!"
The strong words of the king of Wu made everyone angry, it was really too deceitful.
Just now, we had more than 100,000 people, and we could easily tear them to pieces, but we didn't do it because of decency and the peace of the empire.
How can it be justified that they are now condemning us as a rebel?
"Do you want to retreat?" shouted King Wu.
Instead of retreating, there are more than 100,000 members of the New Sect Party, but have advanced a few steps.
King Wu shouted: "The First Legion is dispatched to maintain order!"
With an order.
"Bang ......"
The heavily armed army rushed to the city walls like a tidal wave, and countless bows and arrows aimed at the hundreds of thousands of people below.
Then the ground began to tremble, and army after army came from all directions.
The First Army Corps of nearly 100,000 troops lined up in a neat array and surrounded more than 100,000 people of the Xinzong Party.
This is the most elite army in the world, with 100,000 people moving in unison.
Phalanx after phalanx, like a square, each armed to the teeth.
The man at the front, holding aloft a shield as high as a man, is like a moving wall.
The members of the New Sect Party fell into a brief panic.
It didn't take long for these hundreds of thousands of people to be surrounded on all sides by the First Army.
The most elite First Legion, composed of three shield walls, straight and cold.
In fact, the commander of the First Army was also very entangled in his heart, first of all, the soldiers must obey orders. But he was absolutely absolutely unwilling to use force against the citizens of the Reich.
Therefore, he has repeatedly stated that unless the members of the New Sect Party really attack the ruling palace in substance, they will definitely not use force to suppress it.
But judging from the scene, it is already very amazing.
The upheaval of the empire seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
......................................................
When the ruling king of civil and military affairs saw this scene, his heart was extremely happy!
This group of new sectarians is so naïve, they are reading and rebelling, and it is useless for a thousand years.
There are more than 100,000 people, so why should they shout slogans? Just now, they rushed directly into the ruling palace like a tidal wave, and as soon as they arrested everyone, the coup d'état was over.
Why should you be so decent? It's ridiculous.
You want to debate with me again, and you want to be suppressed by my momentum?
Ridiculous, ridiculous!
King Wu said loudly: "Members of the Xinzong Party, hear clearly, today's actions are a rebellion, a shameful rebellion! This is a betrayal of the Empire, but the Empire is tolerant, and the Imperial army is unwilling to use force against the citizens of the Empire. But...... If they are obsessed with martial arts, the imperial army can only protect the interests of the empire and choose to suppress it. ”
"I counted down to five, and they immediately retreated. If I don't retreat, I'm going to give the order to use force, and I'm going to arrest people. ”
"Five, Four, Three, Two, One......"
Hearing the countdown of King Wu, the members of the Xinzong Party were all angry.
Just now, for the sake of decency, we were unwilling to do anything to you, but now we want to do it to us, and we want to use force against us?
"Fight with them!"
"Rush, rush, rush......"
"Fight with them!"
With a few shouts, it was like a torch that lit a raging fire again.
Enraged, the Shinjong members rushed towards the ruling palace.
A cruel smile appeared on the face of the ruling king of civil and military affairs, and this is what he wanted.
This is what we want, that is, to let the new sect party storm the ruling palace and launch an armed riot. In this way, the First Army would have enough reason to suppress the Shinjong Party by force.
Once force is used, don't look at the more than 100,000 members of the Xinzong Party, but it is completely a chicken, tile and dog, and the First Army can be completely destroyed and wiped out.
By that time, all the backbone of the Xinzong Party had been arrested and imprisoned. Once the backbone of the Xinzong Party is arrested, the crane in the cloud will be like a beast with its teeth pulled out, and it will be difficult to make waves.
Moreover, if the Xinzong Party rebelled and stormed the ruling palace, did Yun Zhonghe not be responsible? As the leader of the party, of course he was responsible.
Of course, Yun Zhonghe's reputation is too high, and arresting him directly will cause big trouble, so he can be exiled directly.
By that time, everything was over and calm.
After a year and a half, the ruling king set off a new civilization movement, taking over all these new things of the crane in the clouds and doing it himself, and developing a new empire.
That's the perfect situation.
"Rush, rush, rush......"
"Fight with them, fight with them......"
The members of the Xinzong Party continued to charge frantically and wanted to forcibly attack the ruling palace.
Again, this is the naivety of most members of the New Sect Party, who are completely dominated by emotions.
"Ready!"
With the order of officers at all levels.
The soldiers of the First Legion on the city walls, with their bows and arrows, aimed at the charging members of the New Sect.
"Retreat, retreat quickly......" shouted the officer on the city wall: "Stop at once, or we will shoot arrows, stop at once, stop, stop......"
But where can the hot-headed members of the new sect party manage these things, continue to bury their heads in the charge, at this juncture, what is the fear of death?
For the sake of justice, why the empire, after death.
"Prepare ......"
"Prepare ......"
Officers of all ranks chanted, all bows and arrows aimed.
"Five, Four, Three......"
The ruling kings of civil and military affairs trembled with excitement, they knew very well that most of the soldiers in the army were sympathetic to the Xinzong Party, and even many people admired Yunzhonghe, so they were reluctant to use force against the Xinzong Party.
And the most important thing now is to completely tear up the relationship between the army and the new sect.
Once the First Army used force against the Xinzong Party, there would be no turning back, and the relationship between the two sides would be considered a complete break.
This is so important!
Because for the civil and military rulers, the only area that the crane in the clouds has not penetrated is the army.
And if the New Great Yan Empire does not master the army, it will never be able to reach the top, and if the crane in the clouds wants to become the king of the empire, it will always be a castle in the air.
Once the force is used to suppress it, the two ruling kings win!
"Three...... 2. ......"
The officers of the First Legion really didn't want to use force, so his countdown was especially long.
But as an imperial officer, if someone storms the ruling palace, as an imperial army, it must be suppressed.
The army must obey orders and defend the empire.
"One ......"
The general at the head closed his eyes in pain, he really didn't want such a situation, he really didn't want to use force, he really didn't want to shoot the citizens of the empire.
However, he had no choice.
Because, the members of the Shinjong Party have already rushed under the walls of the ruling palace.
Once force is used, it will be a river of blood and an empire in chaos.
The rift between the New Sect and the Imperial Legion can no longer be repaired.
And yet at this very moment!
"Stop, stop, stop......"
Suddenly there was a loud roar in the sky, it was the voice of a crane in the clouds.
"I am a crane in the clouds, I order, stop storming the ruling palace immediately!"
"I'm the crane in the clouds, the soldiers of the First Legion, put away your weapons immediately!"
An airship flew over the Consul Palace with a high-powered horn mounted on it.
At the most critical moment, the crane in the cloud finally woke up and came to stop this bloody tragedy.
................................................
Among the members of the New Sect Party, the crane in the clouds has unparalleled prestige.
After hearing his voice, more than 100,000 people immediately stopped charging the ruling palace.
Not only that, but all the soldiers of the First Legion of the Empire immediately put away their weapons.
The airship began to descend slowly, coming to a place a few tens of meters above the ruling palace, and then began to circle.
Everyone looked up at the crane in the clouds, even the soldiers of the First Legion, and every soldier's eyes were full of fanaticism.
Seeing this scene, the ruling king of civil and military affairs was extremely unhappy in his heart.
But there is no way, for more than a year, the god-making movement has been too successful, and the crane in the clouds is shining brightly in everyone's minds.
"First of all, I want to tell you a good news, Lord Zheng Que of the Senate has had a very successful operation, and he has passed the dangerous period, although he is still in a coma, he is no longer in danger of life, and he may wake up at any time!"
Just this sentence reminded everyone of one thing.
Who is the most stubborn and opposed person in the Senate?
At every turn, he let the First Army enter the imperial capital, suppress the Xinzong Party, and execute Yun Zhonghe, which can be regarded as the most radical conservative.
However, Lord Crane in the clouds, still ignored his past suspicions and saved his life.
What a great sentiment is this?
"I also want to apologize to everyone for not falling asleep and causing such a drastic change. Yun Zhonghe sighed: "Because during this time, even since last year, I have too little time to sleep, and this sleep has passed, and I can't wake up all of a sudden." ”
Everyone knows this, and in the god-making movement in the past year, the crane in the clouds has to play, give speeches, and sleep for no more than four hours every day.
And in the past month or so, the situation in the imperial capital has changed drastically, especially after the death of Lord Li Fu, Yun Zhonghe has almost no time to sleep every day.
The new sect party is ready to move, and it wants to launch a coup d'état all the time, and wants to directly push Yun Zhonghe to power.
The crane in the clouds must keep an eye on them and press them down at all times.
So during this time, there is almost no sleep, there is no time to sleep at all, and taking a nap is a luxury.
At this moment, the ruling king of civil and military affairs picked up the megaphone and said to Yun Zhonghe: "Your Excellency Yun Zhonghe, today the Xinzong Party has come to besiege the ruling palace and want to drive us out of power and launch a coup d'état. ”
The words of the ruling king of Wen are also ill-intentioned.
If Yun Zhonghe answers that it has nothing to do with me, it is to sell all the members of the new sect who support him, which will chill more than 100,000 people.
Although these hundreds of thousands of people are naïve and naïve, everything they do is really for the crane in the clouds, they worship and admire the crane in the clouds, and feel that he is the future of the empire, so they will desperately launch a coup d'état to push them to the throne.
This kind of naivety needs to grow, but this kind of blood can't be cold.
And once Yun Zhonghe admits it, then the charges of this coup d'état and forcing the palace will be borne by Yun Zhonghe alone.
Therefore, there is absolutely no shortage of power in power.
Asking this question is absolutely heartbreaking.
At this time, more than 100,000 people also looked up at the crane in the clouds, waiting for his answer.
At this time, countless people have also grown in their hearts. They clearly knew in their hearts that this coup d'état had nothing to do with Lord Yunzhonghe, it was their own initiative, and they thought that it would be easy to succeed, but they did not expect to fall into such a passive situation.
Now, he has to let His Royal Highness Yunzhonghe take the blame.
"That's right......" Yun Zhonghe shouted, "This coup d'état by the New Sect Party has something to do with me, and they are trying to put me in power." ”
Yun Zhonghe admitted it directly, and his words suddenly made the hearts of more than 100,000 people feel hot.
This is His Highness the Crane in the Clouds!
This is the leader who follows, obviously it has nothing to do with him, but for everyone's sake, he still bears the responsibility for this coup.
How great?
The ruling king of Wu said sharply: "Crane in the clouds, that is to admit that he is behind the coup d'état?
Yun Zhonghe said loudly: "Don't say anything about the mastermind behind the scenes, this is too conspiracy." To put it bluntly, the will of the Xinzong Party is the will of my crane in the clouds!"
King Wu said: "In other words, Yun Zhonghe wants to oust our two ruling kings, and he has ousted the Senate?"
Yun Zhonghe said loudly: "That's right! I, Yun Zhonghe, want to oust the two backward and decadent ruling kings! I also want to oust the backward and decadent group of people in the Senate!"
Suddenly, the audience fell silent.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhonghe actually admitted in front of more than 100,000 people, in front of the Senate, and in front of the First Army Corps that he wanted to oust the two ruling kings.
"The two ruling kings, their corpses are vegetarian, and they are no longer worthy to stay on the throne. Yun Zhonghe said word by word: "The attitude is extremely resolute, without any ambiguity." ”
King Wen sneered: "Crane in the clouds, our two ruling kings have stepped down, so who will come to power and become kings?"
Yun Zhonghe still said word by word, extremely resolute: "Of course I am Yun Zhonghe, I will take charge of the empire, and I will become the king of the empire!"
..........................................
Note: The next chapter will be completed at 3 a.m., and I'll be a fool if I delay it any longer!
I didn't even know that there was a double monthly pass, I really burst into tears! Brothers, give me a hand!
