"You're McGonagall?" Chu Heng sat on the main seat of the Mona Star Ruling Hall, while Ma Pei, who was supposed to be sitting in that position, was waiting tremblingly at the moment. There are more than a dozen steps under the main seat of the ruling hall, which are not high, but they can make the superior look down. At this moment, McGonagall, who was wearing a dark red officer's uniform, was kneeling on the ground with her head down, although she didn't dare to look up at Chu Heng's appearance, but she was also a little overwhelmed with excitement when she thought that the supreme existence she was loyal to was in front of her.

Chu Heng came here five days ago, and he didn't inform Ma Peier in advance, so most people didn't know that Chu Heng had come here. He was joined by Anna and a group of Zerg researchers from the Blue Star, who had now led them to Seculon. Because of the hasty hatching, the hydra still has a lot of flaws, although Anna can remotely control those researchers to conduct research and debugging, but after all, there are many inconveniences, so she came here with Chu Heng.

As for McGonagall, this nephew of Bihil is not a safe master, and he was arrested by the enraged Marpel for executing a Rakka in public as soon as he arrived in the Narr Domain, and in the following days, the Zerg higher-ups engaged in a series of games around McGonagall and religious issues.

Marpel originally planned to directly execute this guy who dared to disobey his orders, but before he could give the order, Bihil used the soul channel to connect with him and argued with him. Although Marpel is the archon of the Nar Domain, Bihil does not value these official positions to rule citizens and untouchables at all, and in his eyes, Marpel's military rank is just a small brigadier general. Such an attitude can be regarded as infuriating Marper.

In addition, many generals of the Zerg also complained about the weakness of Mapel's religious issues, and although Sandra, Yushine and other people with the most prestige in the army did not participate, many generals with the same status as Bihil had a dislike with Mapel because of this matter. Although these people do not belong to each other, and even listen to orders under different empresses. But such condemnation also made Marpel a little anxious.

In fact, this kind of political struggle only needs Chu Heng's words to be settled, but Chu Heng didn't do it, because he didn't think that the views he insisted on were necessarily correct, so he wanted to listen to other people's ideas, so this kind of political game rarely continued in the empire, you must know that this kind of thing was basically impossible in the past.

And the initiator of all this was McGonagall, who was now kneeling at Chu Heng's feet, and when she heard Chu Heng's question, she hurriedly replied respectfully: "My emperor." I am your lowliest servant, McGonagall. ”

"Huh?" I didn't pay much attention to it just now, but at this moment, I used spiritual exploration to find out that this McGonagall actually had the strength of a level 5 paladin, so it was okay to use the words of the sect disciple greeting the master to talk to Chu Heng. Although his current status is a quasi-nobleman.

"Why disobey the orders of Grand Archon Marpel?"

"Because His Excellency the Archon has violated the will of the Lord."

As soon as McGonagall's words came out, Marpel was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted, "Hugh is nonsense, my loyalty to the Lord is beyond doubt. ”

Chu Heng glared at Ma Pei, and Ma Pei hurriedly knelt down in fright. Of course, Chu Heng would not doubt the loyalty of Ma Pei, who had been included in the soul channel. In comparison, McGonagall, who has not yet been included in the soul channel, is inferior in this regard. Because in Chu Heng's eyes, only being included in the soul passage is the real control. However, Chu Heng didn't like someone to grab words in front of him, so he was a little dissatisfied with Marpel's behavior.

In the system of the Cult of Kosmos, only those who have attained the achievements of the White Cardinal or above will be transformed into the body of the Zerg and forcibly incorporated into the soul channel, so Nag, who is only one step away, does not know about the soul passage yet.

"Why did Marpel go against my will?"

McGonagall took a deep breath and said, "The Kosmos is the foundation of the Empire, because the Cult of Order will follow the greatest will of the Lord, and to shake this idea is to shake the Empire's foundation, and to go against the will of the Lord." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

At the beginning, Chu Heng founded the Cult of Kosmos just to use religion to restrain the minds of the people in the ruling area, so that they would not think about how to get rid of the control of the Zerg every day, otherwise it would be a very irritating thing for these people to make a riot today and play terrorist attacks tomorrow. Although he systematically laid down the rules of religion. I also know the benefits of theocratic rule, but I have never put the position of the Kosmos so high. It has directly become the foundation of the empire, and in Chu Heng's opinion, the root of the empire is the Zerg.

"Your Majesty must think that the root of the empire is the Zerg of the Chosen People." McGonagall seemed to know what Chu Heng was thinking.

"Oh? Don't you think so? Chu Heng's brows furrowed, the status of the Zerg was unshakable, and this McGonagall seemed to be nothing more than that, and she couldn't see the true status quo of the empire at all.

"The Zerg are the foundation of His Majesty, and this is unshakable. However, the Cult of Kosmos is the foundation of the empire, and this should not be confused. ”

"Interesting, you say." Those who are not included in the soul passage cannot enter the power center of the Zerg, and naturally they can't see the true face of the empire clearly. However, the man named McGonagall seems to have some meaning, and he can guess a thing or two without knowing what the empire is really like.

Hearing that Chu Heng was willing to listen to him, McGonagall felt a burst of excitement in her heart, but she finally forcibly restrained herself, took a deep breath again and said: "Your Majesty's roots are the Zerg, and the people who are naturally chosen by God are really invincible and invincible, and they are loyal to Your Majesty, so they are Your Majesty's most loyal servants." ”

"Although the Zerg are brave and brave in battle, it is even more difficult to manage the empire. Relying on killing and suppression can only buy temporary stability but not permanent allegiance, and the rebellious mood may fall silent under the suppression of killing, but if they are given the opportunity, it will inevitably be as fierce as a volcanic eruption. ”

"Only the Kosmos Cult is the foundation of ruling the empire, and if you are not loyal to Your Majesty, you will not be able to feel the power of the Holy Light of Order, and naturally you will not be able to become a cultist. And those who become believers must be loyal to Your Majesty, so there is no problem in making religion govern the country faithfully, and the only belief of believers is for Your Majesty, and the empire will naturally make its administration prosperous. ”

"Your Majesty deserves to be respected by all as the only true god in the world, and the disciples who submit to Your Majesty are the true citizens of the Empire, and the untouchables who have a grudge against the Empire, no matter how magnanimous Your Majesty is, will not be rewarded with their gratitude, but will be exchanged for endless protests and riots. This is the second one. ”

"Sixty percent of the people in Isis now have become believers and obtained the title of citizen, and nine years ago this number was still zero, which is naturally due to His Majesty's iron hand. In addition, the Elsa District has developed 100,000 believers in just one month, and the number of believers has exceeded one million in three months, and now the number of believers accounts for half of the total number of believers in the Luoyun Star Domain, and there has been basically no riot so far, so the enforcement of religious rule is beneficial and harmless. ”

"The gap between citizens and untouchables will make the evil heretics and unbelievers realize the reality, and although it will only bring them resentment in the short term, it will bring long-term stability to the empire, and it will be clear which is stronger and which is weak, and this is the fourth."

"To sum up, the Cult of Kosmos is the foundation of governing the empire, and the Zerg, the most loyal people of God's chosen people, are the foundation of His Majesty's rule. The Cult of Kosmos governs the empire to stabilize His Majesty's rear, and the Zerg hold the military power of the empire to remove all obstacles for His Majesty. When the entire empire is built into an ideal kingdom that only believes in the great master, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not have to worry about these rebellions that will appear at every turn, and Your Majesty will only need to concentrate on expanding the territory. ”

McGonagall was already in a cold sweat after saying everything, because many things were guessed based on his guesses, and he didn't know if he had touched the veins of the empire.

Chu Heng was silent for a long time after hearing this, he really couldn't figure out how such a person who had never been in contact with the high-level power of the empire could see it so clearly. Religion governs the country, and the Zerg concentrate on fighting this is the best governing concept that Chu Heng thought of at the beginning, but later gradually deviated from the track because of a series of things, such as letting some Zerg generals act as consuls, instead of relying entirely on religion to manage the empire as Chu Heng originally envisioned in Isis.

"McGonagall, do you know what the Empire needs most?"

This sentence asks a somewhat inexplicable question, what does the empire need? Territory? Wealth? Population? The range was a bit large, and dozens of thoughts flashed through McGonagall's mind, and then she suddenly grabbed an answer that he thought was very likely to be close to the truth: "Back to Your Majesty, it's Tai Mine!" ”

"Haha!" Chu Heng suddenly laughed, the imperial tax system had just been implemented, and in addition to the money tax that allowed the local government departments to operate normally, it was the Tai mine, although this exposed the purpose of the empire to a certain extent, but there were few people who really thought about it.

Although all the Archons will know this in the future, at this stage, only the Regional Archons and above know it, and it is indeed not easy for McGonagall, who does not have any rank, to see so clearly. Chu Heng never suspected that it was told to him by other nobles, because Chu Heng had said that all information about the Zerg could not be circulated outside the soul channel system unless Chu Heng agreed, and no one in the soul channel system would betray Chu Heng.

"McGonagall, what would you do if I told you that the amount of Thai ore is equal to the strength of the Empire?"

"For the sake of Your Majesty, I will do whatever it takes to seize all the Thai mines that can be seen for the empire."

"What if I told you that the number of believers also affects the power of the empire?"
