Chapter 626: Pressing Forward

The first condition in the mouth of the emperor was undoubtedly a question that Su Mu had thought of a long time ago.

The turmoil in the Peacock King Capital half a year ago was originally because of the covetousness of the Ming King of the Three Great Kingdoms, which also triggered the open confrontation between the Federation and the Empire.

But now it seems that this is actually one of the conspiracy of the Papal States.

The Papal States, which are located at the westernmost tip of the continent, actually did not think about obtaining the legacy of the Ming King at all, but only wanted to use this huge cake to stir up the relationship between the empire and the federation.

Now that the Papal States' conspiracy has been revealed, the Empire and the Confederation are likely to unite together.

So about this cake, it is natural that it will be put on the table again.

Therefore, regarding the treatment of the tomb of King Daming, in fact, the Federation also has the same idea as the Empire...... If both parties can share the exploration, it is naturally the best solution.

And the second condition in the emperor's mouth, although it was far more harsh than the first condition, actually existed in Su Mu's expectation for a long time.

From the moment he boarded the Qi Power Feather Ship, Hubert had already made this problem clear to Su Mu.

Therefore, even in terms of specific exchanges, Su Mu may still propose a bargaining plan.

But as for the second condition itself, Su Mu had already chosen to accept it in his heart, and even regarded this condition as the purpose of his trip.

......

However, what no one expected was that after completely based on the interests of the empire, the first two conditions were put forward to Su Mu, and the third condition that came to the emperor's mouth one after another would be so unexpected.

Immediately marry the Imperial Princess Su Tong and hold a grand wedding before leaving the Imperial Capital.

It is not surprising to say that the two conditions in front of the emperor can be concluded by pure logical thinking.

Then the next third condition is obviously completely beyond Su Mu's imagination.

Because logically speaking, Su Mu's move to marry Su Tong immediately not only could not bring the slightest benefit to the empire, but even made Su Tong more stable as the diplomatic ambassador of the Federation.

As the Emperor himself said, no matter what kind of identity Su Tong was given to the top of the Federation, in fact, the entire continent also understood...... Su Tong is still the only princess of the empire after all.

However, once Su Mu and Su Tong get married, everything will change completely.

In the final analysis, in the development of tens of thousands of years, the Pareloa continent has finally formed a patriarchal society in a feudal state, and it also has all the conventions of a patriarchal society.

Before she got married, Su Tong could naturally only be regarded as a member of the empire, because after all, she had the bloodline inheritance of Emperor Longtuo in her body.

And after getting married, Su Tong was thoroughly regarded as a member of the Federation.

Because the Su Mu he married was the future of the Federation that the entire continent understood.

In other words, the third request of the emperor not only stopped trying to drag Su Tong into the quagmire of seizing the heir, but even made her completely become the help of the Federation.

Even to ensure this, the emperor made the first two conditions a bet.

If Su Mu is unwilling to marry Su Tong immediately, the national union between the empire and the federation will also completely collapse because of this matter.

Today's Su Mu was forced to marry by the emperor.

And the purpose of the emperor's forced marriage...... Su Mu couldn't guess it at all!

......

"My father specially invited us to come to the center of the lake, and he didn't start to give conditions until we arrived in the middle of the lake, is my father suspicious...... There are also beings like the 'Medici family' in the Empire?"

With the third condition that shocked people's hearts, Su Mu was also confused about the current situation.

For a moment, there was no way to respond.

At this moment, Su Tong, the other protagonist who was "forced to marry", suddenly diverted the topic in front of him, but asked about another abnormality lightly.

As Su Tong said, as the ruler of the empire, Emperor Longtuo, his meeting with Su Mu at this time inevitably seemed a little too cautious.

Not only did he choose such an abrupt summons, but he didn't give Su Mu and the others time to react at all.

Even deliberately created such an isolated environment, so that all the conversations here, except for Su Mu and the three of them, could only be heard by the emperor's most trusted internal officials.

If such a move is not guarding against anyone, no doubt no one will believe it.

All Su Tong also suddenly asked whether there was also a force similar to the "Medici Family" in the Longtuo Empire, which had lasted for tens of thousands of years, and was also provoked by the Papal States.

......

However, in response to Su Tong's question, the emperor looked at Su Mu and the others with some slight mockery, and his eyes unconsciously revealed some kind of mockery.

Then a sobering reminder sharply tore apart the suspicions of Su Mu and the others:

"Have you forgotten the origin of the sordid alliance called the 'Dark Bards', and who they are now working with?"

The so-called dark bards are naturally the continuation of the empire's dark veins on the mainland.

And it is precisely because of this relationship, as well as the hostile attitude of the Longtuo Empire towards it for many years, that the degree of infiltration of the Dark Bard into the Longtuo Empire is actually much higher than the infiltration of the Federation.

In other words, even in today's empire, there are no tumors like the "Medici family".

But the Dark Bards themselves already need the Empire's strict precautions.

"As long as it is a human group, it is impossible to penetrate without the slightest gap, and I have known this from the beginning. ”

"Therefore, from a purely imperial point of view, the only way to unite the whole kingdom is to send troops to confront the Papal States as soon as possible. ”

"So, if you want to accept the confederation's policy and slow down the resistance to the Papal States for a while. Then the current federation must show enough sincerity to me. And as the real representative sent by the Federation, Su Mu, you must also use your practical actions to give the most satisfactory answer to me. ”

Although at the previous moment, Su Tong did skillfully open the topic.

Success will require the discussion of the core issue, the three conditions set forth by the Emperor, transforming the similar crisis facing the Empire.

However, what even Su Tong didn't expect was that the emperor of the empire, who had never been so upright, was now so straightforward in Su Tong's questioning, and he was so straightforward about the crisis in the empire.

It is even through this crisis that the problem is turned back to the three conditions at the beginning.

If Su Mu does not agree to these three conditions, then all cooperation will be impossible.

And among those three conditions, the most critical and fatal point is also the marriage between Su Mu and Su Tong...... As long as this cannot be achieved, all talk is in vain!
