In the long history of the Titan Empire, the fall of the Hemingway family was a glorious stroke for Empress Claire I, who successively abolished the stationing rights of the nobles in the frontier lands, collected the territory of the frontier, strengthened the centralization system, and further strengthened the legislation and stabilized the surrounding situation.

The fall of the Hemingway family also indicates that the power of the old aristocracy has officially weakened, and the new aristocratic group has begun to control the state apparatus on a large scale. The biggest difference between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy is the difference in concept, many of the old nobles are the remnants of the feudal empire, they have their own family concepts, and more importantly, they have fiefs. Although the empire had abolished the Zen concession system, due to the appeasement policy of the imperial center, these traditional old nobles still had hereditary power. Although it is said that the disciples of these nobles have lowered their titles one by one, just like the Hemingway family, in order to make them more peaceful, the empire will gradually raise the noble level of those descendants.

Most of the new nobles are from humble families, they either have great military achievements, or they have a certain strength above the court, but they do not have fiefdoms, which means that they do not have the privilege of this hereditary system! The fiefdom of the new nobles is mostly a palm-sized place for you to build a manor or a palace or something, and it will not be like those old nobles who even rule a planet, a small galaxy, etc.

The old nobles have a lot of blood, and naturally they have a lot of contempt for the new nobles, and in the long run, they naturally don't get along with each other, and now the empress has expressed her position, which means that she is on the side of the new nobles, and the nouveau riche in the empire are naturally warmly welcomed.

But the fall of the Hemingway family will also indicate that the power of other old nobles will be weakened, which will also mean that they are likely to stand up and respond to the Hemingway family at any time.

This is where the Empress's biggest challenge lies, she is not a person to sit idly by, she even orders the Shadow Guard to assassinate certain powerful people, and actively promotes new nobles and commoners to win hearts and minds.

But the war with the Hemingway family has been fought for too long, and the longer it is, the more uneasy it will be, since the Blue Whale Star has been obtained, the imperial army has once again entered a stalemate with the Hemingway family, and the old nobles in various places have also begun to move.

But she can't force Quibal to go to the battlefield again, Quibal will have to recuperate for at least half a month if he is seriously injured, and Thunder has been sent to the east of the empire to confront the Arda people. The other marshals and empresses really didn't know who to trust, but she had to test the reaction of many marshals again.

At the cabinet meeting, the empress asked, "Now that Marshal Kuiba needs to cultivate, who of you is willing to go to the southwest and wipe out the remnants of Hemingway?" ”

"In the pen, the places are not very peaceful now, and His Majesty thinks that the Kuiba army is enough to defeat the rest of Hemingway, otherwise he will be too incompetent!" One of the marshals said.

The empress was silent, she knew that her heart was anxious and taboo, these marshals were also divided into factions, led by Thunder Kuiba was the new aristocratic faction, but there were only four marshals in the empire who were from the new faction, and the other six were from the old family.

For them, the decline of the Hemingway family somewhat makes them feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Although they did not have the intention of rebelling, their dissatisfaction with the empress was obvious.

The empress felt that she had asked for the wrong person, so she didn't say anything at the moment, and then another marshal said: "The war has just passed, and Marshal Kuiba's southwest army needs to rest, but the half-month deadline is also coming, it is better to fight quickly, and save more dreams at night!" ”

I'm thinking, but what can I do if you prevaricate one by one?

At this time, the previous marshal said: "Didn't they be able to take down the tumor of the Blue Whale Star before, the Giant Whale Star is not bad, the Kuiba Marshal is a quasi-sixth-level warrior, you and I can't reach it, so I won't participate, so he won't be happy!" ”

The empress took a deep breath and changed her words: "Then let Marshal Kuiba give a deadline, I really can't afford to wait!" ”

In the Southwest Military Region, Lei Luo has been recuperating for a few days, and he has gotten rid of crutches, and he can still play Tai Chi leisurely.

After a gust of fist wind, Tang Chengcheng next to him applauded: "The regiment leader's boxing method is careless, but the use of qi and the requirements for moves are very clever!" ”

"The biggest feature of Tai Chi is to borrow strength to fight hard, four or two thousand catties, that is to say, to defeat the strong with the weak, we must borrow the strength of the strong!" Lei Luo picked up the towel on the side and wiped the sweat on his body and said.

Tang Cheng nodded, and then said, "I want to learn it." ”

Lei Luo said: "Yes, but we have to start with the pusher!" Lei Luo said and beckoned Tang Cheng to enter. Tang Cheng smiled, then rolled up his sleeves and walked in front of him.

Lei Luo stood with his hands and said, "Like this, come and push me!" ”

Tang Cheng intersected with his palms, and then pushed hard, but was thrown aside by Lei Luo's fierce guidance. Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing: "It's kind of interesting." ”

Lei Luo laughed and said, "Come again!" ”

Tang Cheng nodded and pushed his hand with Lei Luo again. After being guided by Lei Luo several times, Tang Cheng gradually found his senses and began to try some unloading skills and movements.

Lei Luo said: "Tai Chi is born from a perception when I thought everyone was practicing martial arts. You and I both know that if we hit the wall with our hands, the harder we push our fists, the more painful our fists will be, because the more force we use, the more force the wall will bounce off! ”

Tang Chengdao: "I know. ”

Lei Luo said again: "But this grandmaster found that water is not like this, no matter how much force you use to hit the water in the water tank, it can always absorb your fist strength and will not hurt you, this tolerance is really great, so he wants to be that water!" ”

"Water can contain thousands of forces, but also pull thousands of forces, we can overcome the rigid with softness, defeat the strong with the weak, this is the power of water, sometimes the fight competition is not necessarily the faster you move, the better, the harder the better, if you use Tai Chi, you can completely restrain the opponent who is stronger than you. Of course, if the opponent is too strong, it will also be sent to death! Lei Luo said.

Tang Cheng followed him and collected the moves, and then said, "Then I'll find water myself to feel the feeling?" ”

"Hehe, whatever." Lei Luo said.

At this time, Lei Luo's communicator rang, and he couldn't help but open it to take a look, it was a text message from Quibal that meant that he should quickly return to the barracks, and Quibal's special car would come to take him to a military meeting.

Lei Luo put on his military uniform, then turned back to Tang Cheng and said, "I'm going to a meeting, let the guys all go back to the battleship and wait, maybe we will have to move again!" ”

Tang Cheng immediately saluted and said, "Yes!" ”

Lei Luo shook his head and ignored him, Tang Cheng usually looked like a serious person, and he felt very old-fashioned and a little vulgar.
