Chapter 66: The Uninvited Guest
In 1271 of the new calendar, only 23-year-old Jiang Bai VI - Jiang Baiwen succeeded to the throne, full of ambition, forge ahead Emperor Wen wanted to revive China, in the first year of the throne issued a series of reform decrees, opened the prelude to the Wenjing reform, in order to get rid of the empire and Ou Yuanti control of China, Emperor Wen with the help of his best friend Ye Jing, began to reform the Chinese army. Although the final Wenjing reform failed in the end www.biquge.info five years of efforts were not in vain, and the military strength of China made great progress during this period, and the design and construction of the super battleship "Yin" began at this time.
In 1272 of the new calendar, Emperor Wen adopted Ye Jing's plan to build a super battleship of strategic significance, and appointed Helena, who was just emerging at that time, as the chief designer, and since then, at the age of 21, she has almost dedicated all the best years of her life to the construction of this super battleship, so when the battleship was successful, Emperor Wen named this super battleship "Yin" according to Helena's physiognomy.
But the birth of "Yin" was not smooth, the design drawings alone took more than 4 years, soon after the start of construction, Wenjing changed the law and declared failure, Emperor Wen fell under the successive blows of Ye Jing's disappearance and the death of Empress Helian Yao, without the strong support of Emperor Wen, it took a lot of manpower and material resources "Yin" was struggling, although the stubborn Helena still insisted on coming and going, but in the case of a serious shortage of funds, Helena had to adopt the suggestion of the "Thousand Faced Ghost K" who was still the prince's teacher at the time, to "Noah's Ark" For the gimmick, as the last bastion of the doomsday escape, it promised to reserve a room for everyone who donated more than 100 million yuan, so that enough funds could be raised, so this super battleship, which represents the strongest military force in China, will have so many luxurious rooms and entertainment facilities. And in order to save money, Lian Helena even had to put her best efforts into the holographic projection intelligent command room that can simulate the real scene, and temporarily transformed it into a restaurant to meet the luxury requirements of the nobles during the celebration and acceptance.
So when Jiang Baiyuan, who was dressed in a prince's robe, walked into the restaurant, and found that the simulated scene inside was really the extravagant royal restaurant at the inauguration ceremony of "Yin", he frowned a little disliked, although he knew that this was just a simulated scene, but he had always been disgusted with the arrogance and lasciviousness of the Chinese nobles, he still said to the official who was already kneeling on the ground with a slight anger: "Why is this arranged!" Didn't I say everything is simple?! ”
"Your Highness, the villain knows his mistake, but this... This is.. Hearing the prince's reprimand, the ceremonial officer in charge of the restaurant quickly fell to the ground, stammered, and replied without saying anything.
"But what? You mean! ”
If Jiang Baiyuan was just a little angry because he didn't like luxury, then Helena, who was forced to transform his combat command room into a restaurant, could only be described as angry. So when she walked into the hall with Jiang Baiyuan, she didn't hide her dissatisfaction, and directly reprimanded.
"The dean is angry, this is what the old man meant, and please don't embarrass these subordinates." A low and vigorous male voice came from outside the door, instantly turning the anger in Helena's heart into shock.
Jiang Baiyuan and Helena turned to look out of the door in unison, and a middle-aged man in the ancient prime minister's robe happened to walk to the door, and met their surprised gaze with cold eyes under his gray but still resolute sword eyebrows.
"Lu Mang, when did you come up, why didn't I receive any news." Helena just narrowed her eyes and asked lightly, the emotions contained in her words had been completely hidden by the city mansion she had cultivated for decades, it sounded very bland, but it was just a moment's effort, and the air in the entire restaurant instantly became cold.
"Premier Lu boarded the ship, why didn't Captain Sun inform us, I remember that I should have said that I would personally welcome Premier Lu to board the ship." As soon as Helena's words were finished, the two people who followed Lu Mang also walked to the door, Jiang Baiyuan glanced at the two of them slightly, and said with a smile to Sun Zheng who appeared on Lu Mang's right.
At this time, Sun Zheng can be said to be a poor dagger, Jiang Baiyuan naturally knows that he is Lu Mang's person, but politics is sometimes like this, the more unexpected you are, the more calm you have to be, and the more angry you are, the more you have to smile, this is a quality that a superior person must have, people usually call it Chengfu.
"Your Highness, please don't blame General Sun, this is what the old minister meant, the old minister is afraid of annoying His Highness, so he didn't let General Sun keep it secret, if His Royal Highness wants to blame, then blame Weichen." Lu Mang raised his hand to stop Sun Zheng, who was about to speak, and then bowed slightly to Jiang Baiyuan, and said unhurriedly.
"Premier Lu is serious, I don't mean to blame General Sun in the slightest, it's just that the Young Cadres Reserve Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense is directly managed by ******, and I am also a subordinate of Premier Lu, and in terms of seniority, I am a junior, so I should go to greet the Prime Minister, otherwise I will not become an arrogant and rude person who does not know how to respect and humility." Jiang Baiyuan still maintained a gentle smile and said calmly.
No matter when, the party that controls the means of violence always has more right to speak, which is no exception to the interests of the country, and those who have military power always have more right to speak, but not everything can be solved by violence, no matter which class, as long as it exists in a relatively stable state for a period of time, in addition to violence, he will naturally form a kind of rules of conduct that everyone agrees on, which is often said to be a "reason" word, which is even more important to the power class than ordinary civilians, It can also be said that they attach more importance to the rules, but it must be based on the fact that the other party is also of this class.
Because they are vested interests, they prefer to maintain the status quo, and violence is strongly uncontrollable, unless it is really a matter of life and death, or when they face a strong conflict of interest, they prefer to be reasonable, or more rule-abiding if they want to maintain the status quo.
Jiang Baiyuan's words said that the elders and the young were young, and the identity was mentioned, but he did not mention the monarchs and ministers above the two, which was ironic about them, and they didn't know whether the monarchs and ministers were inferior. He was so sarcastic about the other party, naturally he was not trying to be happy like ordinary people, he was tempting, the temptation of Lu Mang's sudden intention.
The dignity of the monarch and the subordinate can be said to be the biggest "principle" of the Chinese power class, the most important rule, he moved this principle out, just to see if the other party still talks about this reason, abide by this rule, because if the other party ignores this rule and takes that step, then it means that the other party is ready to use more drastic means.
But fortunately, as soon as Jiang Baiyuan finished speaking, Lu Mang immediately knelt down, saluted a Jin salute, and then said: "The monarch and the minister are still above the father and son, let alone the elder and the young, His Royal Highness's words have tormented the old minister." ”
"Since Premier Lu still knows about the monarch and ministers, what is the matter? Why did he interfere with His Highness's private luncheon as soon as he came? Although Helena didn't believe that Lu Mang really dared to do anything transgressive, but after all, this was not in Zhongdu, after seeing the other party kneeling, her psychology was still slightly relaxed, and the anger just now surged out again.
Lu Mang didn't answer immediately, but slowly stood up, his robe poured down like a flowing cloud, took a few steps forward, walked in front of Helena, took out a black and yellow roll from his sleeve, printed with the Nine Dragons Star and Moon pattern, and handed it to her on behalf of the Holy Decree of the Emperor of China, and then said calmly in his deep voice: "Your Highness is still young after all, and some things are not considered enough, I am afraid that Your Highness's banquet is too casual, and if you lose your manners, it will chill Miss Valkyrie's heart, and bring it to the country like her." The key to the rise, the people who have made outstanding and important contributions to China, the old minister thinks that the reception banquet is still grander. ”
The two of them, who were still stunned by the secret decree that Lu Mang took out, looked at each other at the moment when they heard Lu Mang say the words "the key to the rise", and they both saw shock and worry in each other's eyes.

Because of the existence of the parliament and the constitution in Huaxia, the power of the emperor has been greatly restricted, unlike a pure imperial state, he can do whatever he wants, but unlike those monarchical virtual constitutions, the emperor is just a "mascot" that has been hollowed out, and the emperor of Huaxia is still the most powerful person in the whole country. Many foreign scholars who study the Chinese social system like to compare the Chinese emperor to the president of the hereditary system for life, although the rights stipulated in the constitution are very similar, but throughout the history of China in the past 60 years, it has been proved that even under the same constraints, the emperor can still do more things than the president, because in addition to the constitutional provisions, the emperor also has an intangible right -- royal power.
Any social animal that lives in groups maintains its order with the rule of the "king" and obeys the rule of the "king", which can be said to be the nature of the social animal. This human being is no exception, although after thousands of years of civilization development, the self-consciousness of human individuals has been strengthened, and today's human beings are no longer blindly subservient to the king like animals, but the idea of kingship, which has subtly influenced human beings for tens of thousands of years, still exists more or less in everyone's subconscious. For the owners of royal power, some people show worship, some people show fear, and some people show resistance, but in any case, the development of mankind to this day, most individuals still have not completely shaken off this "nature" that may be earlier than the birth of civilization.
Jiang Baiyuan is the crown prince of Huaxia, the future emperor, and naturally bears the royal power, Nan Bo did not feel the pressure of the royal power when he saw him a few times before, on the one hand, and the reason why Jiang Baiyuan deliberately restrained it, the main thing is that it was not on a formal occasion several times, there was no royal majestic guard of honor, there was no magnificent palace, and there was no etiquette of three bows and nine bows.
For the royal power, these things are like the emotional scene descriptions in the novel, although they seem boring and cumbersome, but they can naturally stimulate the majesty of the royal power.
This time, from the moment he walked into the luxurious restaurant full of royal majesty, Nanbo immediately felt what royal majesty was from Jiang Baiyuan, who had already changed into a gorgeous prince robe, but his brows were tightly locked.
However, Nanbo didn't have time to taste this majesty to give himself a feeling, a cold gaze suddenly hit, a strong sense of oppression made him subconsciously raise his head, to meet the owner of the gaze, just when he was as deep as an ocean, as cold as hell in his eyes, and failed to see clearly the appearance of the owner of these eyes, a piercing instant chill flowed all over his body, as if his soul was frozen.
He could feel the cold current trying to break down all the defenses and pretenses in his heart, wanting to peek inside him.
Having been baptized by hardships since childhood, and having experienced many tests of life and death, Nanbo, whose mind was as solid as a rock, naturally would not be easily seen through his heart, and after a moment of distraction, he sobered up, regained his composure, and began to look at the owner of this gaze.
Although Nanbo is just an orphan, maybe it's luck, he has seen many big people, especially in the recent past, he has seen local giants like Su Zhe, Abate, and Lu Lang one after another, and he has also seen extremely noble big people like Helena and Jiang Baiyuan, but no one has ever seen this middle-aged man in front of him who is dressed in a gorgeous robe and exudes the smell of power all over his body, giving him such a strong sense of oppression, which makes his mind shaken, so the identity of the other party makes him feel very curious.
After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Nan Bo immediately understood why this person could have such a strong aura, because he was the Chinese Prime Minister who had often appeared in the Chinese news in the past eight years - "Iron and Blood Prime Minister" Lu Python.
