In the far east.

The morning sun passes through the huge and delicate circle to the white jade paved square, the ground of the square is carved with a picture of the Nine Dragons in the sky, here it is the Nine Dragons Road of Yonghuang Palace, and at the end of it is a huge palace that stands majestically. It is about 30 meters high, and it is made of the thousand-year-old Qingtian tree of Xishu. The emperor of the Daohuang Dynasty sat on a nine-story golden throne.

"Your Highness, this is the case of the great battle between the Cang Dynasty barbarians and the army of Qin Lu, please see Your Majesty." A minister said.

Because of the backwardness of science and technology, these war reports did not come to the territory of the Daohuang Dynasty until yesterday, of course, this is also because few people care about the defeat of the former subordinates and the small fights of the barbarians.

"The military department is still in the book, Fan Lixin." The emperor sitting on the dragon chair said.

His voice is amplified through the special structure of the palace, which is very majestic and dignified.

An old man with pale white hair stepped forward and knelt down.

This is the contemporary family patriarch of the Fan family of Jiangmen.

"The minister is here."

What do you think about that? Let's talk to Baiguan and I. ”

“。。。 The courtiers thought that the empire needed steam technology and should introduce it at any cost. ”

This statement surprised the civil officials, who tacitly put aside their usual quarrels and finally unanimously opposed them.

Because of the leadership of the military department, the military attache group naturally will not save face with its own chief/chief.

So, just like in the previous court meetings, the military attache and the civil administration began to quarrel again. The whole hall was like a vegetable market, and the two sides were almost on the verge of fighting.

These civil officials are not afraid of being beaten down, this is the wound of the glorious ancestors! In order to make His Majesty the Emperor realize his mistake, the civil officials began to roll up their sleeves.

"Quiet!" Li Gonggong, the chief administrator of the emperor beside him, said sharply. I don't know how he did it, but the huge palace interior was filled with his voice. Baiguan stopped arguing and returned to his place. All of them said that the minister was guilty of capital crimes.

"I deeply agree with Fan Shangshu's remarks." The Emperor said suddenly.

It's like throwing a bomb into a pot of boiling water and blowing it up so much that it can't be blown up anymore.

Countless civil servants began to make a fuss again. Many counselors saw the opportunity to become famous in history, and began to express that they wanted to die to admonish them.

The prime minister sighed and lowered his head to study his shoes, and the old men behind him were silent. The military attaches stood silently under Fan Shangshu's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the ancestors can't be forgotten!"

"Your Majesty, the armor-piercing firearm developed by the Ministry of Industry can defeat what kind of steam mecha of that Qin Lu barbarian!"

"Your Majesty..."

Because of these people's advice, the emperor began to have a headache and had to give instructions to retreat from the dynasty. Some of the young civil servants knelt down on the Kowloon Road, so that the emperor had to send a forbidden army to take them away.

When they were forcibly erected, they were still crying bitterly.

These are the ministers of foolishness or the people who use foolish loyalty to show themselves, and it is not easy to kill them directly.

The Emperor came to the Imperial Study. A middle-aged man in a wheelchair is already waiting.

"Scholar Zhang, how should I carry out reforms? This reform had to be carried out, and that kind of steam machine was magical. Not only is it magical, but its appearance is bound to change the world. I don't want my descendants to be bullied by the Qin Lu barbarians, or even lose their country and humiliate their power because I didn't reform. ”

"Your Majesty, if you really want to introduce that Qin Lu's steam technology, you must pay the price of blood. Think that the existence of the self-proclaimed Holy Kingdom soon let the entire Qin Lu know the importance of steam technology through civil wars and foreign wars? Mr. Zhang said.

"So, this is what I don't want to do, the peaceful and prosperous world that my father finally achieved, the bloody battle with the Cang Dynasty has just ended, and I can't bear to use the butcher's knife."

"Then let General Situ do this?"

“。。。” The emperor seemed to be pondering and did not immediately agree to Scholar Zhang's proposal.

"Your Majesty, as an emperor, you can't be soft-hearted, even if one day you decide to execute Weichen, you must not hesitate to issue a holy decree."

The Emperor shook his head,

"I don't want to be like my father."

Scholar Zhang sighed and touched his crippled legs. These legs were lost in the war to suppress the rebellion in the north.

"Remove the prime minister, take power over the central government, set up new administrative units, and split the power of the family. Your Majesty has to choose one. ”

The Emperor began to ponder.

"There is great resistance to the removal of the prime minister, and the establishment of a new administrative unit will inevitably be resisted by the clans. . . ." The Emperor said

"Then Your Majesty, use the treasury to spend money on research technology?"

"My beloved wife may not agree...

Senior Zhang took a breath

"Wechen understood."

"What do you understand? Aiqing. ”

"Nothing. Your Majesty, Wei Chen took his leave. ”

With the help of Gonggong Li, Scholar Zhang left Yonghuang Palace in a wheelchair.

An easterly wind began to rise in the east the next day.

。

Ludwig got out of the car and went outside a manor, where the soldiers stationed there saluted, then took the barricades and opened the gates.

He entered the manor, and was led by a maid to the parlour, where a beautiful blonde woman who resembled him sat on the sofa, and next to her sat a silver-haired girl who looked like her.

"Sister." Ludwig said, and the blonde woman glanced at him.

"I want to meet Kimchi." She said. Rubbing the silver-haired girl's hair, she whispered to her that Kimchi was her brother.

"Yes, but you have to follow my instructions." Ludwig nodded.

“。。。 All right. The woman said helplessly.

"I hope sister, you can understand, I also have difficulties." Ludwig bowed.

But this sentence seemed to make the woman completely lose her patience.

"That's my child! I don't want him to be caught up in it! Especially this thing! ”

“。。。 From the day he became a Knight of Unification, he was deeply immersed in it. With that, Ludwig turned and walked away, ignoring the anger of the blonde woman behind him.

"Arrange for Kimchi to meet his mother and sister." He said to the people around him. The henchman nodded.

"However, it is likely that Mr. Kimchi will be sent to suppress the rebellion as soon as he returns."

"Wouldn't it be nice if we just met? Did you say it had to be very formal? ”

“。。。 That's what you're saying. ”

At this time, Ludwig did not tell his sister about the coup, and he even sent people to detain people who knew that the coup belonged to her sister.

He didn't want her sister to know that her long-held ideals were being exploited.

I don't want his sister to understand that he was negligent and caused all this.

Idealists are a nuisance, but who called her Ludwig's sister?

"I'm going to make those people pay for these things." Ludwig said softly and coldly, "My sister's dream will come true." ”

Ludwig was accompanied by a storm that he had unleashed.

This coup d'état will become even more complicated.

。

The temporary imperial court of the Cang Dynasty was in the duke's palace in the former Duchy of Turin. However, it is not set up in the main hall. Because the duke's family was martyred in the main hall. In order to show his bravery to the enemy, the Cang Dynasty did not use the main hall but chose to expand the living room.

"What does General Anur think of the enemy's movements?" A woman sitting upright on the main seat asked the kneeling middle-aged military attaché.

"The minister thinks that the enemy wants to launch an eastward crusade."

"Will our army be able to hold them back? Now that the railroad in Frankfork City is about to be built, what should be done with it? ”

“。。。” The minister answered the empress's question with silence.

"So is the Empire going to give way to it? After all, their main enemy should be our enemy, the Daohuang Dynasty. ”

Although they received support from the Daohuang Dynasty, the Cang Dynasty was able to resist the attack from the Middle-earth Alliance, but this did not prevent them from saying that it was their enemy.

"No."

"Oh? How so? ”

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter is a cold mouth. If you give way to the passage, you will give the enemy a sword to plunge into the Empire. ”

"Then the empire is going to defend the country for the sake of the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, the Empire doesn't necessarily need to give up land routes."

"So, the generals agreed to my plan?"

“。。。 Yes, Your Majesty. We can also take this opportunity to cooperate with the Holy Kingdom and let them suppress the Rhine Kingdom. The Rhine Kingdom had already amassed about twenty divisions on the border. ”

"Okay, then let's start as soon as possible, and quickly send someone to contact the Holy Kingdom."

General Anur said goodbye and left.

Since the establishment of the Cang Dynasty, the only empress has been thinking about something.

。

The Holy Candle of the South Loya Empire was the center of the empire, but it was not in the "capital", but on an island. The exact reason for this is not known to anyone outside the empire.

Could it be that the so-called capital in the center of the Western continent is an ornament?

It is a majestic building, which covers three-quarters of this large island. Countless candle churches and palaces are mixed together, and according to a certain design, they do not look messy but are in order, and each has its own merits when viewed horizontally and vertically. If anyone really saw this splendid complex with their own eyes, they would not dare to compare it with any other building.

At this time, in a hall, a group of people were discussing the battle as if it were a game.

"Based on the comparison between the last intensity experiment and this one, the self-proclaimed Middle-earth region is developing faster than expected.

"So what era are they in now?"

"It was probably the beginning of the transition from the electric age to the era of the internal combustion engine."

"In this way, the pace of development has indeed exceeded expectations. So what is the reason? ”

"According to the report, it seems to be because of a ruin."

"Oh, which ruin?"

"I don't know, our investigators haven't been able to find the relics of what they call the gods."

"That's right. I'm proposing to test the experiment a few times in Toto. ”

"Agreed."

"And this experiment? Should it be stopped? ”

"No, we're going to keep attacking and forcing Middle-earth to play their hole cards so that we can help in future experiments. Besides, Aitania hasn't had enough of it. ”

"Yes."
