"The foreign minister has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Daomang Empire!" The calm and deep voice, the unhurried pace, and the impeccable manners and manners that are perfect all show that he is a well-educated person from a wealthy race!

"The envoy doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk!" The night is clear and gentle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shuang Yan instructed the palace maids to bring the seats, and served tea and snacks, and then retreated from the big guys and covered the palace door.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, the envoy may wish to speak freely!" He laughed,

"The head of the family used to work with me, and later helped me a lot, although there were also unpleasant times, but that was all in the past! Now that he's sent an adult, I don't know what the requirements are? ”

"Moreover, I think the envoy is very popular, and he shouldn't be an ordinary child of the family race? I don't know what high position you hold in the Qi family? ”

The envoy glanced at him in surprise: "Although His Majesty the Emperor is young, his vision is not bad at all!" Yes, it's not an ordinary person in the next place! ”

"Contemptible Zhou Mengde, the brother of the current head of the family, Lang Hao!"

Ye Qingyuan couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, and stared at him carefully: "You...... The former head of the Qi family? You didn't expect to change your face and come in person! It was a bit of a surprise to me! ”

Zhou Mengde smiled casually: "Although the old man is no longer in charge of the position of the head of the family, as a member of the family race, he naturally has to plan for the interests of the family race all the time!" Since the family race is here to discuss matters with His Majesty the Emperor this time, in order to show sincerity, the status of the special envoy must not be too low! ”

"It's inconvenient for the head of the family to come, so I have to let the old man do it for me! Don't mind, Your Majesty! ”

Ye Qingyuan didn't expect that the former head of the Qi family didn't expect to come and see him in person, which surprised him, and there was something a little wrong about the matter that was discussed next!

"Good! You are here on behalf of your family race, and if you have any demands about me, you might as well say it together! Let's see if I can do what you want! He spoke in an easy-going tone.

Zhou Mengde looked at the excessively young emperor in front of him, Rao is very deep in the city, and he almost couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

The other party did not completely restrain his own aura, and the coercion that was much stronger than that of an ordinary fifteen-star peak powerhouse inadvertently dispersed, forcing him to vaguely feel anxious!

Could it be that the other side has already been promoted to the peerless realm of divine products? It should be about more than that! However, his own feelings will not deceive himself, he used to always hear his own brother say how good this young man is, how talented is amazing, he is somewhat incomprehensible, now he has seen with his own eyes, only to realize that his previous opinion has always been wrong!

Needless to say, the other side can lay such a large foundation in just a few years, and even be able to compete with the Shuofeng Empire! This ability is no longer enough to describe it as a genius!

It seems that the meaning of his own brother is right! It's really not the right choice to be an enemy of such a character! Anyway, the family race has no hatred with him at all, if the continuous cooperation with him can ensure the interests of the family race, why do you have to push him to the enemy's position?

As long as it can bring enough benefits to the family race, it doesn't hurt to let the family race claim to him, if the Shuofeng Empire is finished and it is not feasible to stand on its own, then it will be the same if you change the allegiance of the monarch!

Expecting this, the last trace of hesitation in his heart also disappeared, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Your Majesty! The old decay came over this time, just to estimate and discuss with you, the content of the family race and your subsequent cooperation! ”

"The combined legion of the 8 great families has left for the imperial border, and it will soon encounter His Majesty's fleet! Regarding the outcome of this battle, His Majesty must have a fixed opinion in his heart? ”

"Of course!" Ye Qingyuan said quietly, "The fierce combat power of several major races is not insignificant, but with the current fierce combat power of the empire, it is not difficult to win!" ”

"Do you mean to ask me to open up the net of the Qi family's legion?"

Zhou Mengde shook his head and said lightly: "These forces are really important to the family race, however, they are not the power of the family master's lineage, but in the hands of those hardliners!" Therefore, this battle should be fought for the sake of it! Your Majesty doesn't have to scruple about anything! ”

"What the old man asked was, how sure is Your Majesty about plotting against the Shuofeng Empire? And how much price and time are you prepared to pay to take down this big country? ”

Ye Qingyuan stared at him for a while, and then said slowly: "Of course there is a grasp, is it the price!" It's hard to say, but it should be within my affordable range! However, when it comes to time, it will take a year or two at most! ”

Zhou Mengde said with a smile: "If it were someone else, the old man would only think he was telling jokes, but with His Majesty's fierce combat strength and luck, there is no need to doubt this at all!" ”

Speaking of this, his expression became serious: "However, Your Majesty feels that you have how much time to waste?" Today's situation in the Star Sea is changing rapidly, and all the big countries are expanding to the outside world, and a year or two is nothing in normal times! However, at such a critical moment, there can already be a bunch of! ”

"If Your Majesty takes too much time in the process of taking down the Shuofeng Empire, the cost will be too great! Then by the time you get your wish, you may not have time to digest the results at all, and you will have to face two or more opponents who are about the same as half a pound and eight taels! ”

"At that time, the empire will have to be hastily plunged into a series of great wars, and there will be no chance to recover and recuperate! Your Majesty, how should you deal with such a dangerous situation? ”

The smile on Ye Qingyuan's face froze, and he was silent.

His words are right, although the Shuofeng Empire is already detached from Germany, the political situation is turbulent! However, in the end, it is a big country, and the foundation accumulated over the years is there! Even if you have a lot of hole cards, you can guarantee that the final victory is definitely your own, but the time spent in this process is really difficult to control!

Swallowing up this big country in a year or two is almost a relatively optimistic estimate! If something happens, it's hard to say! Once the war drags on for a long time, there is undoubtedly an extremely unfavorable strategic deployment for the future of the empire!

Moreover, such a sinister situation has emerged!

The Tiger of the Tiroa Empire has not long been shackled and is wreaking havoc on the side of the Prison Soul Star Sea, and it won't be long before it rushes over, and the fleet of the 8 great families is already close at hand! He really doesn't have much time left!

"What do you mean?" After thinking for a moment, he asked. Since the other side has raised this issue, there will be no means to solve it!

Zhou Mengde said in a deep voice: "If Your Majesty is willing, our family race is willing to form the most stable alliance with Your Majesty!" And use all the resources of the family race to assist Your Majesty, and strive to take down the Shuofeng Empire within half a year! ”

Ye Qingyuan was slightly frightened in his heart, sat up straight and said, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

"Your Majesty! With the influence of the Prayer Family in the Empire, if you are determined to support you with all your might! With the help of His Majesty, it is no less than the use of millions of fleets! For example, at present, the movement of the combined legions of the 8 great families, the marching route, the logistics material base, the battle plan, etc., can be supplied to you! I don't need to say more about what to do then? Zhou Mengde smiled:

"And from now on, all the secrets of the high-level of the Shuofeng Empire, the family race will try their best to inform Your Majesty! Help His Majesty rebel, assassinate the commanders of certain key defense areas, and even fight back if necessary! ”

"Everything that can help Your Majesty, I will spare no effort to do it! I believe that in this way, the progress of the battle will be greatly accelerated! By the time His Majesty is successful, there will be enough time to integrate the interior and start the next battle plan depending on the situation! ”

Ye Qingyuan thought for a while, and asked softly: "The Qi family is willing to pay such a big price to help me, naturally it will not be gratuitous!" How much do you hope to get in return? Let's talk about it! ”

"Your Majesty is quick to talk, and the old decay is not hypocritical!" Zhou Mengde smiled and said:

"First, the title of the head of the Qi family remains unchanged, and he is still the hereditary prince of the Daomang Empire! All the property and fiefs of the family race are protected by the laws of the empire, and the gods are inviolable! ”

"Second, after the fall of the Shuofeng Empire in the future, the Yun family will leave it alone, and the fiefs and all the properties of the other five families will be left, and at least two of them will be owned by the Qi family! The title of the prince can be different, but the Qi family must be given two more first-class dukes of the empire, which will be allocated by the head of the family! ”

"Third, the Imperial Cabinet built by the new commando team, the Qi family can choose three ministerial positions at will! One of the positions must be important places such as energy, diplomacy, finance, etc.! Served by a member of the family race recommended by the head of the house! ”

"Fifth, the Imperial Council built by the new commando, and the Qi family hopes to get forty fixed seats! Assigned by the head of the house! ”

"Fifth, the granddaughter of the head of the family, Su Lili, has been married to Your Majesty! For the sake of the harmony between the two families, please make her the queen of the empire, take charge of the harem, and honor the world! ”

Ye Qingyuan was silent for a while before he slowly exhaled a breath and said softly: "Your asking price is really not ordinarily high!" In today's Daomang Empire, even the title of the superior at the level of marquis has not been given! ”

Zhou Mengde said calmly: "Your Majesty, this condition is almost excessive, but the Qi family's efforts can help you obtain the entire Shuofeng Empire within half a year, and you don't need to pay much price!" These benefits are really nothing compared to that! ”

"You must know that the risk taken by the high-level of the family to make this decision is not ordinary! In the event of an accident, the entire family race will face an incalculable elephant crisis! Therefore, the old man thinks that such a request is reasonable! ”

Ye Qingyuan knew what he was talking about, the 8 great families were in the same breath, watching and helping each other, and they had not changed for thousands of years! Now for him, the family race must be completely broken with several other major families, and even those important children who have married must be removed for the time being, such a decision is very difficult to make!

He was sure that this was just a calculation of their brother's faction, and the entire Qi family might not agree with their point of view! Those hard-liners who command the fleet certainly don't agree with them! That's why he just said that!

If they can be solved by the hand of the Daomang Empire, these two brothers will only have a greater say within the family race, right?

Once the agreement is reached, the Qi family will be completely tied to the chariot of the Daomang Empire, and there will be no way back! Zhou Mengde made so many demands, that is, to appease the different forces within the family race. In the end, only sufficient interests can ensure the stability and development of the family race, and ensure their right to speak within the family race!

If the rumor is slightly revealed, then the Qi family will face all the strength of the other family races! The loss in the short term will be extremely surprising and even shaken to the very root of the family race! If the progress of the Sword Empire is not as fast as expected!

"The Yun family, in fact, you can do everything you said!" He whispered.

Zhou Mengde seemed to guess that he would definitely say this, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty! The grievances between you and the head of the Yun family, as well as the Venerable Society of the Yun family, which is controlled by your grandfather, have also heard of your partiality intentionally or unintentionally. Maybe they will really do what you say and help you at all costs! ”

"But haven't you ever thought about it? Compared to the usual words for you and some less important benefits, the bold decision to put the future of the entire family race on the side of the Daomang Empire is almost like your grandfather, and it may not be an easy decision! ”

"I don't deny that when you ask them for this, Yun Tianyun will agree to cooperate! However, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and this time, they may not be able to help you for free! There will be a request, will you be willing to say yes then? ”

He had heard of the Yun Family's secret dealings with the Daomang Empire, but there was a deviation in the estimation of the degree of cooperation between the two sides! I thought it was just a general trade relationship.

Ye Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Even if what you say makes sense!" It's not that I can't afford these things, but have you ever touched them? Once I fully accept your request, what will be the power structure of the future Daomang Empire? Is this fair to me and the soldiers who were born and died? ”

There are some things he didn't say explicitly, but as long as someone with a little brain can see that if Zhou Mengde gets his wish, the future empire, the power of the Qi family will reach an unprecedented peak! It's the same whether it's in the court or in the palace! And unlike the Shuofeng Empire, it is unique, and there is no other family race that is about the same as a half-catty or a tael to conjure up a balance against it!

The royal family is thin, and they have not conjured up enough power, and the other lords and nobles have no way to compete with it! The power of foreign relatives is dominant, and there are few similar examples in the history books about how serious the harm of the regime is?

In such a situation, I'm afraid it's even worse than the Shuofeng Empire! Once there is an accident in Ye Qingyuan, the empire will definitely fall into the hands of the Qi family!

Zhou Mengde lifted the teacup on the table, lifted the lid and took a sip gently, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old man can also understand your difficulties!" Therefore, this condition is not non-negotiable. Well! After all, the prayer family has made such a great sacrifice! So...... Tell us how much you can give back to your family! ”

Ye Qingyuan thought for a moment and said: "First, the title of the prince of the Qi family can be retained, and the property fiefdom can be protected, there is no problem; Second, those doomed family races, property fiefs must be handed over to the national treasury! I can't give it to the Qi family, but as compensation, I can give another twenty prosperous universe regions to the Qi family; (To be continued.) )
