Chapter 54: Next
Chen Yu closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, sighed and said to himself: "Alas, if there is civil strife in the empire, let the federal army that has successfully exterminated the rebellion go straight down, and the century-old henchmen of the federation will be eliminated immediately...... Speaking of this, Chen Yu opened his eyes suddenly: "Danger! The Confederation expects civil strife in the Empire, and doesn't the Empire also expect civil strife in the Confederation? Now the empire is quite stable, but the civil strife in the Federation has started, and it is dangerous! Dangerous! ”
Chen Yu got up and pressed a button on his desk and said, "Prepare the car, I'm going to the Marshal's Mansion." ”
The Silver Eagle Empire and the Wanluo Federation are closely connected, and the location of these two countries is a remote place in the universe. If the Silver Eagle Empire wants to develop outward, it can only go through the Wanluo Federation, and if the Wanluo Federation wants to develop outward with peace of mind, it can only solve the Silver Eagle Empire. I don't know how many years ago, when the sphere of influence of the Wanluo Federation first came into contact with the Silver Eagle Empire, the two countries were extremely happy, because before that, they both thought that there was only one country in the entire universe.
Next, the relationship between the two countries is first a tentative contact, then exchanges, friendship, and finally a honeymoon period. But the honeymoon period did not last long, first of all, the parliamentarians of the Wanluo Federation, chanting to eliminate the imperial system, began to interfere in the internal affairs of the Silver Eagle Empire. Then the leap in science and technology developed, letting the two countries know that there are countless countries in the universe, and their two countries are very far away from the center of the universe, and in the minds of the countries in the center of the universe, their two countries are equivalent to the barbarians in ancient times.
How can two countries that have long been self-centered accept such a fact? As a result, both countries decided to expand their influence to the center of the universe and make themselves the kingdoms of the universe. But before they acted, they suddenly discovered that it was impossible to realize this wish without solving their own neighbors.
The first to strike was the Wanluo Federation, who took advantage of his geographical advantage to block all external communications with the Silver Eagle Empire. The original intention of the Wanluo Federation was to let this neighbor not know about the outside world, and to live in peace and not to interfere with him. It could have succeeded, but it was the parliamentarians who put forward the reason to take this opportunity to overthrow the imperial system of the Silver Eagle Empire and solve their worries at one time, and through voting, they started the war first.
The war of aggression did not have a good result, and of course, the Wanluo Federation suffered a major counterattack from the Silver Eagle Empire and retreated. And the angry Silver Eagle Empire immediately took advantage of this reason to pursue the victory, and of course the result was the same as that of the Wanluo Federation. So the two countries that could have become an alliance and work together to enter the center of the universe have become two barbarians who have been staying in remote areas and working hard all day long in the eyes of the countries in the center of the universe.
Later, a war broke out throughout the universe, and at the same time, the era of the Great Annexation began. Due to the remoteness of these two countries, and the fact that there is an unusually large, chaotic and chaotic galaxy on the outskirts of the Wanluo Federation, it serves as a shield. These two small countries were not annexed in the era of the Great Annexation of the Universe, but because the war between their two countries consumed huge resources, they both missed the era of the Great Annexation of the Universe.
In the end, the terrifying black hole bomb was successfully invented. With the existence of this weapon that can destroy the entire universe, the era of the Great Annexation of the universe is over. At this time, the two countries that had no choice but to stop the war suddenly found out that countless countries had been merged into hundreds of great powers, and a peace conference was held in the center of the universe with the participation of all countries. The only thing that gave them some comfort was that they were also eligible to participate as a country.
So far, the universe has used black hole bombs to spend hundreds of years of peace.
The Silver Eagle Empire, an imperial state. Since it is an imperial system, it depends on the aristocracy to rule the country. According to the latest statistics, there are now more than 10 million nobles in the empire. As scary as it sounds, according to the proportion of the empire's population, there was only one nobleman for every 500,000 people. More than 500,000 people to feed a nobleman was acceptable to the people, so although there were often slave riots in the empire, it could be suppressed quickly.
In addition to the supreme emperor, there were several princes who did not care about things but enjoyed themselves; dozens of respected dukes; thousands of heavily armed marquises; tens of thousands of counts who served as high-ranking officials on the political axe; hundreds of thousands of viscounts in mid-level positions; millions of barons in subordinate positions; Finally, there are millions of lords who have nothing to do and are fed up.
Originally, the level of power was determined by the level of the title, but the empire has had a strange status quo in recent decades. As long as the name is not added in front of the title to say how the earl is, how is the duke. Whether it was a noble, commoner or a slave, whether it was an old man or a young child or a foreign spy, they knew who they were talking about.
The Earl of Elantrantes and the Duke of Robust are the people of the empire who can know who they are talking about just by their titles.
The message from the spy to the outside was this: "Duke Robust has royal blood, is 65 years old, and has two sons and six grandchildren. Be kind and generous. Although the Duke did not hold the official position of political axe, his decisions on state policy allowed the Imperial Prime Minister to carry out them without the emperor's consent. His political enemies secretly called him the Emperor Behind the Scenes, but strangely enough, the Emperor did not care about this duke, whose power was obviously higher than his own. ”
The Duke of Robster is second only to the prince and the emperor, and those princes can't manage things according to the rules, as long as they overthrow the emperor, they can have such huge power, so it's not a strange thing. But for the Count of Elantres, whose title can only be used as a civil official, the fact that he actually controls the entire imperial [***] team makes all the spies struggle to find the reason.
"The Earl of Elantres, now 55 years old, has only one daughter. He is indifferent and has the style of an iron-blooded soldier. Although the political axe position is only to participate in politics in front of the palace, but such a palace participation in politics that has nothing to do with the army has made the five generalissimos of the empire bow their heads, let dozens of commanders and generals obey orders, and let thousands of senior generals obey their orders. It can be said that even if the army is ordered to rebel, the army can completely obey the order. But for this Count of Elantres, who was far more threatening than Duke Robert, the emperor's attitude was the same as when he treated Duke Robert, and he was completely indifferent and laissez-faire. ”
At this time, because he was called the Imperial Twin Walls by the Earls and Dukes of the Empire, and was envied by many young nobles, in the garden of the mansion of the Lieutenant General of the Imperial Guard of the Darrens.
Darrens, who was dressed in a gorgeous aristocratic costume and half-lying on a chair in the garden pavilion, raised his glass to Kester, who was sitting in a military posture and wearing a straight imperial lieutenant general's uniform, and smiled: "I said, you guy don't have to be so excited that even I am wearing a lieutenant general's uniform because of his promotion, right?" ”
Kester, who had no expression on his face, took a sip of wine and shook his head and said, "I received the task of suppressing bandits, so I didn't have time to change my clothes." ”
Darrens immediately shouted with a twinkle in his eyes, "Bandit?!" Where is it? Is there a share of mine? ”
Kester pinched his glass, shook the ruby-colored wine into the sunlight and said, "It's not your share." Seeing that Darrens immediately looked lost when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't be so frustrated, it's not to suppress the slave rebellion, there are no beautiful women to choose for you." This time, I'm going to the M'Or system to exterminate the pirates. ”
Darrens showed a gloating smile, took a sip of wine and shouted: "Haha, you are miserable, there is the land of your rival the third prince, you may be able to fight pirates when you go to the land of the sixth prince, but when you go to the land of several other princes, let alone exterminate the pirates, if you are not careful, you will be attacked by pirates at any time!" Darrens accentuated the tone of the last word, 'pirate'.
Kester smiled helplessly: "No way, except for the sixth prince who is slightly better, the other princes all regard me as an enemy." ”
"Hehe, who called the earl's daughter likes to pester you, the four princes all regard you as a rival in love. However, if the six princes did not pursue her during this period, maybe the six princes would have succeeded in picking flowers. As for the other three princes, they have bad surnames and ruthless hearts, not to mention the earl's daughter, even ordinary women don't look down on them. Besides, it's no wonder that the earl's daughter doesn't pay much attention to the six princes, no matter what the six princes are, he and his brothers come to pursue the earl's daughter, not for the earl's daughter, but for the earl's influence in the army, do you say that the earl's daughter is likely to take a fancy to such a prince? When Darrens said this, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, the Count can't let you run into such a dangerous place without preparing anything, right?" ”
At this time, Kester's smile turned into a bitter smile, he lowered his head to look at the wine glass, and whispered, "The earl's daughter will also go with him." ”
Darrens looked at Kester with his eyes wide open, and after a while, he immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, it seems that you will suffer along the way, but it is better than suffering than being destroyed by pirates." But when the time comes, I'm afraid that even the Six Princes will treat you as an enemy. ”
Hearing this, Kester could only shake his head speechlessly.
After laughing for a while, Darrens changed the subject and said, "You're fine, I haven't received any assignments since I came back from the federal border last time, and my bones are almost loose." ”
Kester glared at Darrens and said angrily: "It's okay to say, the earl was originally going to let you act last time, but you guys refused to die, so I had to pretend to be a righteous soldier." ”
"Hee-hee, your acting skills were so good last time, if I didn't know the truth, I would definitely be moved by your words. Ah, by the way, do you know why the Duke and the Earl decided to save Tang Long of the Federation? You must know that if you destroy a talent in the Federation, our empire will have an extra chance of winning. Darrens asked with a grin at Kester.
Kester pouted and said: "You and I are an idiot, even if I don't understand it beforehand, after the Tang Long incident in the Federation, not only did the people start to distrust the federal political axe and the army, but also made the federal president and the four-star general step down, and now that the general has also split the three galaxies of the Federation, the idiot also knows that the two adults will do this, which will make our chances of winning greater." This shows how far-sighted the two adults are. Speaking of the back, Kester couldn't help but sigh.
Darrens also sighed: "yes, even if I was killed, I didn't expect things to go on like this." However, this also proves that there are our people among the senior federal officials, but I don't know who this person is? ”
"Hehe, this person will be an important key to our all-out attack on the Federation, the stakes are very high, I'm afraid that only two adults in the entire empire know." Kester said this, looked at his watch, got up and said, "Alright, it's time for me to go." ”
Darrens also stood up, raised his glass to Kester and said, "Good luck to you." Then he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has not been able to go to court for many years, and the empire is already stormy, take care." ”
Kester, who had already picked up the wine glass, nodded speechlessly when he heard this, thanked him, clinked glasses, drank it in one gulp, and turned away after saluting.
Darrens looked at Kester's back and sighed leisurely, without speaking, tilted his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.
In the middle of the night, the palace of the Silver Eagle Empire was silent, and the emperor of the empire, Artest XIII, who had not been in court for many years due to illness, sat on the royal bed in the harem, and his pale face showed a gloomy smell. The room was silent, and the only sound coming out was the occasional uncontrollable panting of the Emperor.
His eyes, which had sunk deep into their sockets, were completely different from his sickly appearance, emitting bursts of chilling light. And the person who endured this cold light was a handsome young man in his 20s wearing royal clothes and kneeling in front of the bed.
Artist said in his somewhat panting voice, "Liu'er, do you know why your father didn't make a prince and let your brothers kill each other? ”
The sixth-ranked prince hurriedly kowtowed and said in a panic: "The son doesn't know, please ask my father to make it clear." He didn't expect his father's secret summon late at night to say this, which made him happy, but he really wanted to know why he didn't make a prince.
"Alas, it's not that I don't want to make a prince, but I don't have the ability to make a prince." The Emperor said with a deep sigh.
"Incapable?!" The six princes immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words. There are only two people in the empire who can make the supreme emperor of the empire say such things.
"Father, do you mean those two ......?" the sixth prince asked cautiously.
The Emperor nodded: "That's right. Remember, Liu'er, as long as they exist, this empire will not be ours. ”
The Sixth Prince didn't say anything, but he could see a cold light emanating from his lowered eyes.
After the six princes left, the emperor shook the bell in his hand, and an old voice that was a bit like pinching his throat suddenly sounded in the room: "The slave is here." ”
"It is rumored that the five princes will meet you." The Emperor said with a slight struggle. After the owner of the old voice left, the emperor looked at the Nine Dragons on the ceiling, his face was hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I used to be afraid of you, but I will not be afraid of you anymore when I am dying!" I won't let you take what my children and grandchildren have! I won't let you get it! ”
This hoarse and blood-draining roar made His Majesty the Emperor of the Silver Eagle Empire look so hideous, but behind his hideous expression was an inexplicable shame.
