When this big change in the king organization reached Song Xiaokai's ears through a series of ways, Song Xiaokai sighed slightly, and his heart was moved by this cheap father again.

"If it weren't for that misunderstanding between him and him back then, he would have been a good father." Song Xiaokai sat at the head of the bed, looked at the message on the contact, and whispered to Qin Xuan beside him.

"Yes, he loves and loves their children." Qin Xuan grabbed Song Xiaokai's shoulder and patted him gently.

He and Song Xiaokai were very aware of Ouyang Jing's ambitions - what Ouyang Jing had always coveted was the throne under Xiao Jinglong, if it weren't for the fact that he was likely to carry this matter with his son-in-law's power, he would not have made such a concession.

In the final analysis, he was still reluctant to embarrass his son.

However, Song Xiaokai also took one thing into consideration: "Ah Xuan, have you thought about it...... Become the ruler of an empire? ”

There are only two people in the room, Song Xiaokai and Qin Xuan, even if this kind of talk is a bit rebellious, they are not afraid that a third person will hear it, let alone someone will tell Xiao Jinglong.

Qin Xuan's eyes changed for a moment, and it was rare for him to hesitate in his thoughts.

Song Xiaokai looked at Qin Xuan's expression that seemed to be pensive, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the back of his head.

This action has a sense of appeasement, and it was usually done by Qin Xuan to Song Xiaokai in the past.

Qin Xuan felt the meaning of Song Xiaokai's movements, the dark color in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the corners of his lips hooked up a light arc, and he finally made a decision.

"If it was in the past, maybe I just wanted to be a loyal general for the country, no matter what, I had to protect this land." Qin Xuan said in a calm tone what he had thought.

"And now?" Song Xiaokai raised his eyebrows.

"Now?" Qin Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have been in the ascendancy for decades, and it is only now that I understand that protecting the country is not the same as protecting the monarch, if the monarch is not benevolent, I really don't need to work hard for this dynasty." ”

"Yes, conscious." Song Xiaokai nodded, "But ...... That's what you thought when you left politics, right? Otherwise, he would not have resigned from all his positions in the Empire. ”

"Yes, but at that time, I didn't think about overthrowing the dynasty that our Qin family had been loyal to for more than a thousand years." Qin Xuan seemed to be caught in some kind of emotion.

Loyalty to the empire, this is a certain insistence and belief that almost every man of the Qin family has carved into his bones before he officially became a soldier, and they all hope that they can become a generation of famous generals like their ancestors.

This is an honor that belongs to the Qin family.

Therefore, even if he left the political arena because of his disappointment with the ruler, Qin Xuan never thought of betraying this Qin family's precept, but he did not expect that with the gradual change of the situation inside and outside the emperor, his mentality began to change.

He doesn't ask for much, as long as he protects his family, however, once the empire is completely chaotic, he, the former first commander of the empire, will definitely not be able to stay out of the matter.

No matter which force it is, it will treat him as a thorn in the flesh, even if he is no longer loyal to the Xiao family.

After thinking about this clearly, Qin Xuan gave up the original idea of only defending and not attacking - instead of sitting here and waiting for the enemy to come to the door, it was better to prepare everything from now on.

If he really has to be in that highest position to protect the people and things he cares about, he doesn't mind fighting, not to mention, what he needs to protect is not only Song Xiaokai and them, but also those subordinates who followed him from birth to death, and even left the imperial political arena. This is a powerful force, and if it cannot gain a foothold in troubled times, it can only be annihilated by others.

"It seems that Ah Xuan, you have already thought it through." After listening to Qin Xuan's analysis, Song Xiaokai said with a smile.

"It's a pity that I can't give you and the children a stable life." Qin Xuan said apologetically to Song Xiaokai.

"What's the solution, the world is like this, it's uncontrollable, not to mention ......" Song Xiaokai raised his eyebrows, "Ah Xuan, have you forgotten that I was also a general?" Will I still be afraid of war? ”

Qin Xuan's mood was completely relaxed by Song Xiaokai's words, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and he rubbed it the top of Song Xiaokai's head, causing Song Xiaokai to slap a few knives and glaring in annoyance.

-------------------------

Xiao Jinglong originally thought that the civil strife would be quickly quelled as it was during the reign of his father, but as a result, after batch after batch of anti-riot troops were dispatched, not only did they fail to quell the protests and riots that arose in various places, but completely angered the long-suppressed dissatisfaction and anger in the hearts of ordinary people.

Xiao Jinglong, why did he send troops to suppress us? Can't we just want to live a more secure life? Look at the enactment of the laws of the empire, which one is to protect the interests of our ordinary people? Every day is tired and tired of running around for a living, and the money earned for a whole year is not enough for Xiao Jinglong and his ministers to have a big meal!

Forget it, those who were conscripted into the army by the Force were human beings, but aren't those who don't have "special abilities" human beings? Isn't it a joke that only those who go on the two paths of joining the army and politics have the opportunity to become "superior people", and those who work diligently and hard will be "inferior people" all their lives!

The most unbearable thing for ordinary people is that the policies formulated by the empire are becoming more and more harsh year by year, and taxes are getting higher and higher year by year, and now, it is no longer just the word "unfair" that can describe their situation, and 60% of the people even have a problem with food and clothing.

Xiao Jinglong found a high-sounding reason for raising taxes: the empire had to fight against the other four major interstellar powers, so the treasury was empty, and more funds had to be used to invest in the war on the front line.

The ordinary people of the empire just want to give Xiao Jinglong a "hehe", where did the taxes paid before go? It has not been a year since the start of the war, and the "treasury is empty", who is emptying the treasury? Look at Xiao Jinglong's sons, and then look at the ministers under Xiao Jinglong, all of them are full of fat, like a pig, on the other hand, the people at the bottom of the empire have become skinny one by one.

In fact, what Xiao Jinglong didn't understand was that the reason why the funds he invested in the front-line battlefield were "eaten" so quickly was because he was cut off by many of his "henchmen" halfway.

When Qin Xuan was still sitting in the position of the first commander of the empire, he had strict control over the flow of funds in the army, and those ministers of Xiao Jinglong had no way to put their hands into the army.

However, Qin Xuan was now forced away by Xiao Jinglong along with his powerful subordinates, and the newly appointed imperial commander was a puppet-like figure, and he had little deterrent effect on those ministers at all, like a marionette, being dragged eastward, and never westward.

Xiao Jinglong also thought that he had finally found an "obedient" commander, but this commander was too obedient, which was equivalent to having no opinions of his own.

What's more, this puppet doesn't have much other ability, but his ability to take bribes is very strong, and not long after he took office, he propped up his small treasury.

In Xiao Jinglong's anxiety, two years passed slowly.

In the past two years, a lot of things have happened inside and outside the Mandean Empire, and these things have piled up more than in the past few decades combined, and it is not an exaggeration to call the situation "changing".

First of all, the first commander of the empire has finally changed, He Yi rose up at a rocket-like speed, and while being used by Xiao Jinglong, he was also deeply trusted by Xiao Jinglong, and everything inside and outside the court was controlled by He Yi, but Xiao Jinglong foolishly thought that He Yi was loyal to him.

"You kid is very good, I'll be relieved if the emperor ** team hands it over to you." Xiao Jinglong patted He Yi's shoulder and laughed, trusting those so-called "battle reports" very much.

Xiao Jinglong didn't know that some of those battle reports were fake, and the people around him had already been bought by He Yi, making Xiao Jinglong a "blind" and "deaf" sitting in the highest position in the empire, and all the information he got was controlled by He Yi, and He Yi wouldn't let him know the information that Xiao Jinglong shouldn't know.

In fact, it is no wonder that Xiao Jinglong never thought of leaving the main star of the empire to take a look, even if he left the main star once, he knew how far away the news he learned was from the true appearance of the empire.

The flames of war have long been burning inside and outside the empire, and Xiao Jinglong, as the ruler, knows nothing.

Secondly, Qin Xuan's First Battle Martial Arts Hall has also developed a certain scale, as the ordinary people are gradually disappointed in the top echelons of the empire, there are fewer and fewer people who apply for the Emperor ** School, and they have set their sights on other places, and the First Battle Martial Arts Hall led by Qin Xuan is undoubtedly the first choice of these students.

They don't want to die for the royal family, but they want to be able to protect the land.

Unlike the Emperor ** team, the oath of admission to the First Battle Martial Arts Hall does not include the content of loyalty to the royal family, Qin Xuan asked the students to follow their hearts and firmly remember why they want to learn martial arts and why they want to become soldiers - what they protect is not the royal family, but the land they love, and the relatives on this land.

Moreover, the Shizhan Martial Arts Hall not only recruits students who have inspired the Force, but also recruits ordinary people, and its scale has gradually expanded to various practical fields such as energy, electronics, machinery, optical brain, data, etc., like Li Huan's lover Cao Ran, who has become the leader of the information and data discipline of the Shizhan Martial Arts Hall.

Qin Xuan asked the students not only to learn the knowledge at hand, but also to learn to "cooperate and help each other", a strong army is not only how strong each of its soldiers is, but also whether the people in charge of all aspects can form a tacit understanding, the higher this tacit understanding, the stronger the power in war.

He Yi also thought about using Xiao Jinglong's hand to suppress the First Battle Martial Arts Pavilion, but he failed, and Qin Xuan's calculations were successfully resolved again and again, making him eager to simply raze the First Battle Martial Arts Hall to the ground.

If he can do it...... Obviously, he couldn't.

What made He Yi even more angry was that because the people were completely disappointed in Xiao Jinglong and his sons, even He Yi, a person who held great power in the imperial political arena, was also "affected". Even if he became the first commander of the empire, he failed to occupy the position of the "god of war" in the hearts of the people like Qin Xuan.

They felt that He Yi was "working hard" for Xiao Jinglong and safeguarding the interests of the royal family.

Of course, this also depends on the fact that the Shizhan Martial Arts Hall has been emphasizing the difference between "loyalty to the royal family" and "loyalty to the empire", so that in the hearts of many people, the imperial ** team has become synonymous with "royal lackeys".

This made He Yi feel an inexplicable grievance in his heart, and the current situation was completely different from what he had imagined! It's a pity that he really can't find a way to reverse it for a while.

He Yi had insomnia for three whole nights, and after three nights of deep thought, a thought rose in his mind:

Is it really necessary for him to have a relationship with the waste sitting on the throne? If he continues, I'm afraid he will lose even more mass support, right?

Why don't you just do it, anyway, the emperor ** team is already completely in their own hands, isn't it?

The corners of He Yi's lips evoked a cold and calculating smile. 166 Reading Network
