Chapter 682: The Beginning of an Empire 3
Another half a month passed.
Last night, a downpour passed, lightning and thunder in the night sky, and the rumbling echo continued to echo in the air, stabbing and stabbing, and many electric lights hit the top of the tower and were guided underground by lightning rods.
At the top of the kilometer-high municipal building, in the conference room on the 288th floor, a group of people held an all-night meeting and drew up a plan, and the rainstorm finally ended.
"Let's go according to this plan, adjourn the meeting!" The person sitting at the top said a little tiredly.
"Yes!" The people below packed up their materials and returned to their homes a little tired.
……
Golden Palace.
"Boss, Zhou Ziming is here, saying he wants to see you."
A guard who is responsible for guarding the safety of Tianming and his family.
At present, there is no formal police department in the future city, but there are several patrols with security teams, which are responsible for the security of the city.
As for the escort team stationed in the Golden Palace, they were specially transferred from the Blue Ming Security Company, underwent strict training, and were equipped with advanced weapons, with a number of about 240 people.
This guard, who often follows Tianming's side, is named Liu Hai, a big man of 1.8 meters, who has been a soldier in the army for five years before...... He is the guard in charge of the chief's security.
Zhou Ziming...... Let him in. ”
Inside an office.
Looking at Zhou Ziming, who was sitting opposite, very restrained, and couldn't restrain his excitement on his face, Tianming frowned.
Didn't he come to make a small report again and say goodbye, right?
This Zhou Ziming, he has a little ability, but he really likes to speculate too much, and he especially likes to make small reports and collect other people's secrets.
During the period when the red superstar was corporatized, he was appointed as the head of the intelligence department, relying on the advanced listening and shooting equipment in his hands. With a group of people listening everywhere, it was pervasive, although it did help him find out a group of people with bad intentions, but it also caused some bad effects.
For example, he not only monitors those people who need him to monitor Tianming, but also the people inside the Lanming company who don't need his monitoring are monitored by him, and even some of the senior executives of the Lanming Group have been monitored by him several times.
This is intolerable, especially after Lan Luo knew about Zhou Ziming's behavior, he expelled him on the spot and told him to get out of the house immediately.
If he hadn't found Tianming. Zhou Ziming, who pleaded hard and offended most of his colleagues in the company, is estimated to have returned to the earth now.
Tianming did not fire him in the end, but after disbanding the intelligence department he was in charge of, he took him to Blue Mercury's side and arranged a lower-level management position.
"Zhou Ziming, just say something."
Zhou Ziming rubbed his hands and said, "This ...... This, boss, I want to say mostly about you. ”
"Boss, your abilities. We all know that before, we, mortals, did not know about this world. There really is such a thing as a special ability......"
"There's this planet, this amazing universe behind you...... It's all brought about by your abilities, and without you, these things are just in physical theory. Your presence has brought these things to life...... It can also be said that the planet. And this universe is all created by you. ”
"Compared to us ordinary people, you are a god-like being, and sitting in front of you, I feel extremely low."
"But I have great respect and gratitude for you......
It was you who gave me and my family the opportunity to come to this planet and live a happy and happy life.
You are the one who has transformed this planet and built this city so that our children and grandchildren can grow and thrive in this land of hope.
It is you who selflessly dedicate your own qiē, so that we, mortals, live a life like immortals.
But...... What about you?
For us mortals,
What do you get?
What do you get?
What have you asked for?
No! You haven't asked for anything, you've been giving! Always giving!
What about us mortals?
But I have never thought about how to repay you and how to repay you......
Selfish!
We mortals are extremely selfish!
I never know how to ask for it, but I don't know what to give back to you!
This is not right!
There has never been a gift for no reason in this world, and there is no love for no reason, and those who sit there all day waiting for pie to fall from the sky for nothing are stupid, and they don't even have the least gratitude in their hearts! We must condemn these people!
However, you are kind-hearted, boss, and you don't need that little in the hands of us mortals, and you don't want it.
But that doesn't mean that we, mortals, don't do something, but have to do it!
I think that your noble sentiments have risen to the level of a saint, and may even be higher than a saint!
In this case, I think that we mortals can only have the greatest respect for you if we prepare a seat made of gold for you, invite you up, and then prostrate at your feet and listen to your teachings!
This is the only reward that we mortals can give you!
So, I ask you to grant our request and ascend to the throne we have in store for you! ”
After speaking, Zhou Ziming stood up from the chair, knelt down on one knee, and bowed to Tianming.
Tianming felt that the hairs in all the pores on his body stood up, and goosebumps rose!
This sycophant shoot is really transparent, and it's not as cool as an electric shock.
The key is that Tianming actually thinks that what Zhou Ziming said still makes some sense.
"Get up, get up." Tianming used some ability to lift Zhou Ziming up.
"Xiao Zhou, what you said is still a bit too much, I am not a so-called god, but a person who also has seven emotions and six desires, and you are not humble mortals, but individuals equal to me."
"About what you said, tsk...... I don't think the timing is very good yet, and it's not so easy for everyone to accept, and if you do it rashly, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who will stand up against it, this ......"
Tianming is not the kind of person who pushes back, obviously wants to die in his heart, and then wants to say that he doesn't want to. And then play the trick of looking at the thatched house, it is not necessary for him, he has no bottom now, he is just afraid that there will be too many objections.
Zhou Ziming immediately said excitedly: "Boss, this matter will be handled by us, we promise to complete it, and there will not be a single voice of opposition!" ”
Zhou Ziming said angrily: "Boss, you are still too kind, every qiē on this planet is yours, and all of us are given by you, if anyone even has to oppose this." It shows that all their hearts and livers have been eaten by jackals! What else is there to stay here? Those kinds of people should all be expelled! ”
"Alas, don't say it so harshly, as if I'm going to force them to support me, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't pay attention to democracy, if more than 90% of the citizens understand and support me, I will be very satisfied."
"It has to be 99% or more! Boss, even if 1 in 10 people don't support you, I'm chilled! Those who are stubborn must be controlled within 1%! ”
Zhou Ziming said viciously.
"Well, well, threats and intimidation will only achieve the opposite result. You go back first, do what you do, and don't cause chaos in the city. ”
"Yes, yes. I went back to the boss first. ”
……
After Zhou Ziming left the Golden Palace, he returned to the municipal building, and in the special conference room, he probed him from the boss. told He Xi, Chang Sheng and others, who were anxiously waiting for a reply, sighed heavily and said when Chang Sheng asked what the result was:
"Our boss refused. He said that he didn't want to establish that kind of rotten system, and finally harmed the people in the city, and the boss was like a saint, and he was worried about too many problems, what era is this? It is the era of high-tech civilization! Is there any comparison between what was backward in the past and what is now? ”
"Nope! On the contrary, I think that kind of system is more suitable for our future city, because we need a strong, wise, and benevolent king, standing in the clouds, to be admired by us mortals! Then guide us, give us glory, give us courage, and strengthen the faith in our hearts! This is also the reason why we used to be confused and didn't know how to love the world...... We need such a king! We need such an object to worship, to respect, to love! ”
"But now, fearing that there will be many objections, our king has chosen to retreat...... Too merciful, so unnecessary! I feel very sad for those who do not support it! I even want to ask him out loud here: Who gave your qiē exactly? Where is your gratitude and conscience? Is this qiē all justified? Now the time has come to test us, and we must give faith to our King, our God, to him: We sustain Him forever! ”
Looking at Zhou Ziming's impassioned performance, although Chang Sheng and his heart were extremely disdainful of this kind of ugly performance, but now that some people are so shameless, they naturally can't leave the impression of hesitation, otherwise if they are sued by someone with a heart, it will be extremely detrimental to the future development.
Chang Sheng also knocked on the table and stood up and said, "I also think so, how many things has the boss done for this city?" It's time to do something for him. ”
Zheng Hongmi also stood up and said: "To be a man is to rely on conscience, what do people without conscience rely on to live in this world?" ”
"I'm going to persuade the boss to make him change his mind!"
……
So, in the next few days, more than a dozen groups of people went to the Golden Palace to persuade Tianming, hoping that he could comply with everyone's wishes and sit in the position that everyone wanted him to sit.
"This ...... It's not good......"
Seeing that the boss was still a little hesitant, on August 15 of the Guangming calendar, He Xi took a group of public opinion representatives to the Golden Palace and implored Tianming to accept the wishes of the citizens.
But the boss still has some concerns.
So, on the 16th, more than 3 million citizens took to the streets, waving various banners and slogans, and under the guidance of the organizers, came to the Golden Palace to pray and listen to the voices of the general public.
"Your Majesty, we support you!"
"Your Majesty, please accept the love of the people!"
"Only an empire can accommodate this vast starry sky!"
"We lack nothing, only a true king!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
Standing on a high place, looking at the dense crowd outside the Golden Palace, Tianming was startled, and smiled bitterly in his heart: The whole city has gathered here, is it really good to do this?
Of course, in front of thousands of public opinion representatives, he had to say that he lacked talent and was incapable of ruling a country, and this supreme position was absolutely unacceptable.
"Your Majesty, only you can, only you can defend our people!"
But Tianming chose to avoid it, and the 3 million citizens waiting outside the Golden Palace, nearly a million people, decided to go on a hunger strike and meditate until His Majesty agreed.
On the 17th, more than 300 senior officers, including Hao Zhigang, commander of the starship fleet, and Bi Jiangong, deputy commander, who were on a mission in space, walked into the Golden Palace under the watchful eyes of millions of citizens, met with the commander, collectively swore allegiance, and implored the commander to ascend to the supreme position and rule over all the people of the planet!
Under the bitter pleading of these officers, and looking at the millions of people sitting quietly outside the Golden Palace, Tianming sighed and said in a voice of compassion for the heavens: "Well, since everyone has unanimously asked me to ascend to the throne, it means that everyone hopes that I can lead this city, this country, and this planet, and go as far as possible and become more and more brilliant." Instead of the scepter that determines everyone's life and death, there is no such scepter! There is no such right as zài, and I am going to be a symbol of this country. My job is to protect the glory of this country and represent the supreme dignity of this country! It's a heavy burden, but I'm willing! ”
"Your Majesty!" Hao Zhigang and the others knelt down in unison.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
After hearing the news, the millions of citizens outside the Golden Palace also let out a loud cheer.
