readx(); The sea tribe and humans started a trade, and the orcs and humans also lived in peace for the time being, and the beast tide was repulsed alive and returned to the seal to lick their wounds, and the enemy of the empire was the only one left in the rebel army, so the human side also had the ability to concentrate forces to crusade against the rebel army. But the geographical environment of the Far North Plateau occupied by the rebel army is too harsh, and if it weren't for the natives there, they would not be able to survive smoothly in the face of all kinds of dangers hidden in the ice and snow, let alone fight. Fortunately, there are so many talents in the empire, and many of those who have come down from the plateau have joined the army to help the empire's army reoccupy their homeland.

This can't be said that they forget their roots, the main thing is that the rebel army will brainwash, and the emperor [***] team will also brainwash. The content of the rebel army's brainwashing of those ordinary people is that the Fourth Dynasty is an evil dynasty that needs to be destroyed, and everyone needs to live a good life, etc., while the emperor [***] team is the same, portraying the rebel army as a cannibalistic army composed of demons, they want to occupy the entire continent, they want to eat up the human race, if they are defeated, they can obtain supreme status, in short, both sides have their own opinions, and most of the people below believe it.

There's no way, this is a fool, because of the amount of knowledge and information caused by the problem of vision, so that they don't have more discernment, plus the demon is not a strange creature to people on the continent, warlocks can summon demons, and there was even a demon invasion during the Third Dynasty, and the demon itself does have the ability to demagogue, so these ordinary people actually believe this statement, and vow to expel the demon from their hometown.

In short, it is under such circumstances, under the deliberate actions of the high-level on both sides, the two armies fought to the death in the ice and snow, as for the final result, it is still unknown, but in Gao Zhen's view, the defeat of the rebel army is a matter of time, maybe Gao Zhen can still live, but the current army will definitely not be able to be saved. Other reasons aside, the war potential alone makes the rebels completely incomparable to the Empire. Their uprising took advantage of nothing more than the "world war", but the empire was in external troubles, so the rebel army could smoothly become an internal trouble, and even before the war, they could develop, just because those nobles were rich and unkind, and the people's grievances had already accumulated.

However, with the progress of the world war, the population has decreased sharply, the land contradiction has been greatly alleviated, and the nobles have also realized their own shortcomings in this continuous war, in order to ensure that the ancestral industry is not lost, they have changed their previous attitude towards the commoners, not only become more close to the people, but also greatly change the governance of the territory. In such a situation, the root causes of the instability of the empire have disappeared.

At that time, the rebel army was as powerful as a bamboo, and the war and chaos that it took advantage of, the immaculate otherness of the empire also disappeared with the cessation of the beast clan, the sea clan, and the orc clan. Now that the power of the empire is on the road to rapid recovery, the Fourth Dynasty, which controls almost the entire continent, has the largest population, and has the most vast and fertile land, how can the rebel army resist?

"I don't know what to say, I don't know whether I live or die."

For the rebel army, Gao Zhen can only give these two comments.

After seeing the recent situation on the mainland, Gao Zhen stretched his waist and was about to leave, but at this moment, Bai Jue suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a ball of slimy things, which squirmed quickly the moment they landed, and then a cloud of white gooey that was obviously separated from his body returned to his body, and on the ground, there was an extra scroll.

"This is my doppelganger who just teleported over, look at it!"

Bai Jue said, bending down to pick up the scroll, and then threw it to Gao Zhen.

Regarding his ability, Gao Zhen only learned about it recently, and of course, this ability itself has only recently appeared. Everyone is breaking through, Bai Jue, as a clone made of somatic cells between the columns, has extremely strong talents, and has been following Gao Zhen's side, although his breakthrough has been too slow, but he still became a real tenth-level master not long ago. Ten levels, for today's Gao Zhen, he is already as weak as an ant, but Bai Jue has two hundred and fifty thousand clones, each of which has the strength of ten levels, so the energy he represents has already surpassed the union of the Great Empire. After all, even in today's Fourth Dynasty, there will never be 250,000 level 10 masters, and level 10 masters are already top masters in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are not as worthless as cabbage on the street.

And with the breakthrough of strength, Bai Jue, who has officially entered the tenth level, also has a new ability, that is, he can quickly transfer objects among all his clones. It's like teleportation, but it's not like teleportation, it's like all the white peers have a spatial channel in their body, and all these spatial channels are connected together. No matter which one it is, any clone swallows something that needs to be delivered quickly, and it only takes a few seconds for this thing to appear on any Bai Jue's body, this ability is very powerful, especially when used in the transmission of intelligence, it is even more terrifying. You know, even if you use satellites to transmit information, if the distance is too far, it will require a delay of a few seconds. But the ability of Bai Jue does not require any preparation at all, and there is no cost, and the delay of a few seconds is also fixed. No matter how far away it is, even if it is two different worlds, the message can be transmitted in just a few seconds, which is very convenient, even more than high-tech satellites.

The gossip was far away, Bai Jue spit out the scroll and handed it directly to Gao Zhen, even he didn't know what kind of news was in this scroll, because the news came too suddenly, and he didn't have time to ask himself.

Gao Zhen took it, pulled the scroll apart, glanced at it casually, and said "Huh" in the next second, then sat up straight, and looked at it with a serious expression. The more he looked, the more serious his expression became, and the more he looked, the more solemn the atmosphere in the room became. After a while, Gao Zhen slowly closed the scroll, closed his eyes, and quietly didn't know what he was thinking. Bai Jue was also rare and did not leave in a hurry, walked slowly to the sofa on the side, picked up a fruit that looked like an orange, and played quietly.

After a long time, Gao Zhen slowly opened his eyes, and the solemnity in his eyes had all disappeared, replaced by indescribable calm.

Looking up at Bai Jue, he nodded slowly.

"Tell your clone to inform the other emperors, I'm going to hold an imperial meeting!"

……

The Imperial Conference, a meeting that only emperors can attend, the meeting is usually held in rotation between the three empires, of course, there is no rule in this, it is just random, whoever wants to hold it, who can hold it, as long as the other emperors approve it.

But the biggest problem is on top of this recognition. The Imperial Conference is only allowed to be attended by all emperors, and if it is held by the three major emperors, with their power and prestige, it is naturally invincible. But what if it was those third-class empires that would hold it? Let's not talk about other countries that are also third-class empires, but let's just say that the three emperors may not appear, after all, attending the imperial meetings held by the inferior empires is quite faceless for the emperors of the three empires to a certain extent.

Therefore, although every emperor has the power and ability to hold an imperial meeting, usually only the three emperors will open the imperial meeting, and the other emperors have the power but do not have the heart or the courage. But now, Gao Zhen, who has been high-profile and low-key since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly wants to start the imperial meeting, which surprised everyone. Gao Zhen's high profile is because of the high profile of Datang, and the high profile of Datang has caused Datang's prosperity today. But his low profile is due to himself, he himself has hardly attended any activities between emperors, and he has only appeared once in the previous imperial meeting, and that time he directly appeared in the imperial conference room with the magic of the slide projection. Of course, this kind of behavior would make all the emperors dissatisfied, but except for some, most people were not happy, but they did not stop there.

In the next three years, the imperial conference was held at least ten times, but Gao Zhen did not participate in a single one, and over time, everyone even forgot about his existence, forgetting that he still had the ability to hold and participate in the imperial conference. Now he suddenly asked for the opening of the imperial meeting, which surprised all the emperors, but then everyone fell into a long period of contemplation. It's not that they insist on spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it's really that Gao Zhen's ability and strength are a little terrifying, and it is normal for everyone to be worried about suddenly holding an imperial meeting at such a moment when the Tang Dynasty has developed, and no one wants to be the stepping stone and trophy of the other party.

But the news that followed made all the emperors change their faces greatly. After Bai Jue disappeared from front of them, each of them frantically mobilized all the power in their hands to do the most detailed investigation of the news handed over by Gao Zhen, and implement these messages as much as possible.

Three days later, the news from all walks of life came back, and the emperors' faces became even more ugly, and they ordered the people below to prepare for the trip, and a month later, the eighteen emperors gathered in Yanjing City.

"I've never been to a place like this, is this really a city?"

A young emperor looked at the tall buildings around him, a look of shock on his face. Their royal court, their **, the tallest building is of course 100 meters high, but because of the different construction methods and construction materials, those buildings are usually narrow at the top and wide at the bottom of the cone or pyramid style, there has never been such a completely vertical building from head to toe. Standing abruptly under such a building is like standing at the bottom of a cliff, and you can only feel the grandeur of the building in front of you.

"I have to say that Gao Zhen still has some level, and Datang can develop like this in just three years, which is really something I didn't expect."

Angela slowly took over the conversation from the side.

He has always been in favor of Gao Zhen becoming the emperor, in fact, only he knows what he thinks in his heart. And as long as he is a normal person, he will not agree that his cake will be robbed by others, so for Gao Zhen's claim to be the emperor, Angela doesn't say it, how can she completely let go of it in her heart? But what if he can't let it go? He doesn't agree, so what? Not to mention that Gao Zhen is already powerful now, even when Gao Zhen was still weak, wouldn't he dare to risk the world's condemnation to kill the nobles? If such a person cannot be beaten to death with a stick, he must not be offended. Fortunately, Angela doesn't have much ambition and ambition, he just wants to take care of his one-third of an acre, so for the rise of Gao Zhen, he just feels a certain sense of crisis and dissatisfaction with running away in the corner, in fact, if Gao Zhen is really put in an equal position, he even hopes that Gao Zhen can become stronger.

Because from the beginning, he has always been very good to Gao Zhen, and he himself understands this. When Gao Zhen was named a duke, this in itself already gave him a huge pressure, and Gao Zhen is a person who knows how to be grateful and knows how to repay his kindness, so he doesn't ask him to repay his kindness, but he has always been very kind to him, as long as he continues to be friendly, Gao Zhen will not be too bad to himself, this is Angela's idea, so when the emperor sighed, he didn't understand how to help Gao Zhen say two good words. Of course, it's hard to say whether this good thing is useful or not, everyone is an emperor, and their status is already equal, not to mention whether the other party will change their original opinion of Gao Zhen because of their own words, just talking about Gao Zhen, he will not care about the attitude of the emperor of such a medium empire.

But none of this is important, the important thing is that Angela doesn't believe that Gao Zhen doesn't know the arrival of himself and others, nor does he believe that Gao Zhen can't hear the words of himself and others and can't see the actions of himself and others, so everything he says and does now seems to be unintentional, but Gao Zhen must be able to see it occasionally.

Sure enough, as soon as Angela's voice fell, a hearty voice sounded abruptly in front of them.

Everyone looked forward, and in the void, a whirlpool suddenly appeared, and Gao Zhen's figure walked out of the whirlpool. As soon as he walked out, he gave an equal aristocratic greeting to several emperors in front of him, and everyone returned the salute one after another.

"There is something so it was delayed for a while, and I didn't find it well, so please forgive me. Come on, it's not easy for you to come once, although the things mentioned in the secret letter are real, but they can't be solved in a hurry, so you should take a walk with me first, take a look, visit, and then rest and then talk about it. ”

Then, Gao Zhen led the emperors to walk around in Yanjing City.

As the center of the Tang Dynasty, Yanjing naturally has a variety of facilities in various fields such as economy, politics, culture and industry.

Wide asphalt roads, dazzling shops, luxurious luxury stores, elegant restaurants, large stores, overcrowded playgrounds, etc., and even the factories around Yanjing, everyone went in to take a look. When they saw the long assembly line and the products produced on the assembly line at a rapid pace, each emperor showed great interest. Of course, they are not unaware of the existence of factories and assembly lines, and as the head of an empire, they naturally know about this important intelligence. They also know that the assembly line is called "Kairam" in this world, which means "alchemy that can make goods by itself", but the information they hear and the information they see are not as intuitive as watching them in person. Especially the terrible efficiency of the items that came off the assembly line and were packaged and then shipped away at a very fast speed made every emperor's heart beat a drum.

They can also realize that the products produced at this speed have all kinds of shortcomings, but this deficiency is insignificant under this strong efficiency, such efficiency, the cost of the output of the product will be much lower than that of the small workshop, and under the impact of this product, the interests of the small workshop will be seriously hit, for the nobles, there is money, it is natural to buy good, this kind of assembly line products, they can't look down. But the main consumers of the market are not aristocrats, what really supports the entire market are the ordinary people who have little spending power, but have an extremely large base, these people will subconsciously, or consciously ignore their shortcomings, and focus on their costs, which is absolutely a fatal blow to the handicrafts of other empires.

They didn't care about it before, but now that they've seen it with their own eyes, it's impossible not to care. On the spot, ten emperors proposed to introduce this kind of equipment, and Gao Zhen was also as good as a stream, without any concealment and deliberate price increase, agreed to sell part of the equipment at the market price, and agreed to carry out special personnel training for the empire that purchased the equipment.

Gao Zhen doesn't mind his profits being shared, this world is so big, the benefits contained are simply indescribable, such a big piece of cake is not something that one person can eat, if he bites it and doesn't let go, it will attract the dissatisfaction and even hatred of other emperors, it will be inappropriate. Moreover, he is ready to take the road of high-quality words, and the brand of goods has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now other empires want to grab the market, but it is not easy, so he does not have the slightest worry.

These emperors are also interested in the robots on the assembly line, and Gao Zhen can't open this one.

After the tour, Gao Zhen took the initiative to give these emperors a high-end car that had just been made, and then this group of emperors came to Gao Zhen's living room.

After everyone sat down, and the special secretary of the bee-eater prayed to serve the tea brewed by Gao Zhen's specially made tea leaves to the emperors, Gao Zhen cleared his throat and looked at the other emperors with an extremely solemn expression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you have all investigated, that's right, the Eastern Continent has already attacked!" (To be continued.) )
