The official announcement of the National Calendar Empire: Since June, the domestic rebellion has basically subsided. The top rebel officers, led by Prince Joseph (whose title has now been abolished), were killed or captured, and most of the remaining rebels surrendered, and the Imperial army began to purge the remnants of the rebels.

The announcement said that the victory of this war was due to the wise leadership of the prince Shiyan, the heroic tenacity of the officers and soldiers on the front line, and the unity of the people of the whole country. After the post-war reconstruction work was carried out, the empire would give a series of policy support to the regions that were more severely affected by the war.

From this brief announcement, attentive politicians read another meaning: after the end of the rebellion, the center of power in the empire will undergo a reshuffle. It is clear to everyone that after two wars, a new political faction was born centered on Count Liuyun, the hero of the empire and the "god of war" in the hearts of the people. Behind Count Liuyun, with the strong backing of the Imperial Marshal and the Cade family, he is shrouded in the aura of a hero, he holds the most elite "Iron Army" in his hands, and he is surrounded by many talents, he also has an elder brother who is a legion leader and a younger brother who is a dragon knight. Most importantly, he won the attention and trust of the future master of the empire, Prince Shiyan.

As soon as the war ended, the imperial capital was immersed in great joy. The New Year is approaching, and this joy is pushed to the extreme. At the same time, the Empire officially announced that there will be a number of events to celebrate the victory of the two wars during the New Year. But this joy. It only belonged to the ordinary people in the imperial capital, and the nobles were worried about their future. Although Liuyun was born in a noble family, he has never regarded himself as a nobleman, and rarely interacts with the nobles of the imperial capital, so he is completely different. The fact that such a person goes to the center of power is a great threat to these nobles.

With the exception of a small number of nobles who had always been friendly with the Cade family, most of them set their sights on Prime Minister Slot. Thereinto. Some officials who were close to the prince in the past even regarded him as a lifesaver. After the Prince's rebellion, many predicted that the most recent figure to the prince would fall, but he succeeded in distancing himself from Joseph and regaining the trust of the royal family, and was regarded by many as a "tumbler" in the political arena. For a time, the Prime Minister's Mansion got on the car and came and went, and the nobles and officials took the opportunity of the New Year to visit. The aristocrats showed their attitude to him in order to save and protect the interests of the aristocracy, while the officials hoped to get a good place in the shuffle.

Under such circumstances, Sdry did something that surprised the prince Shiyan. He will register the visiting nobles one by one and seal the gifts and money. Personally sent to the palace.

"Prime Minister, in the imperial officialdom, officials are never forbidden to interact in private, and there is no rule prohibiting nobles from accepting gifts from each other, what do you mean by doing this? Aren't you afraid that these people will scold you behind your back?" Shi Yan looked at Slord and asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, Sdelow is old. And he is in a high position as prime minister. How much more interest can there be in power and wealth? It's just that there are a lot of them, and most of the gifts are expensive. If I refuse directly, it will inevitably cause them to panic, and if I accept it, it will leave a stain on both sides that cannot be washed away. Therefore, if the old minister wants to come and go, he can only hand it over to the treasury. Sdelow laughed, "But this matter." I also ask Your Highness to keep it a secret for me. Otherwise, I'll be infamy!"

"Your Excellency. You've got a pretty hand! I've taken these things, and I'm going to have to keep them a secret for you. Shi Yan said with a smile. The mood seems to be very good.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you have seen something wrong with this?" continued Sdelow.

"These people, now they are all burning like **, busy standing in line. They knew that after the empire experienced a great turmoil, it would inevitably make adjustments to officials, that is, to complete a reorganization of interests. Especially the nobles of the empire, they are very panicked, for fear that their own interests will be harmed!"

"Your Highness has a point. Some of these people used to be close to Joseph like the ministers, and they must have felt uneasy. There are also some people who hope to take this opportunity to gain some benefits, and it is understandable. The only thing that worries the ministers is the attitude of those nobles. Out of fear for the future, they seem to have huddled together, and I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble for the future development of the empire. Sdelow said calmly.

After two wars, not many of them have been able to understand any truth. Shi Yan looked at the place list in his hand, and his expression became solemn.

"It's not easy to change things that have been left over from hundreds of years. The old minister was also worried, so he hurriedly came to report this matter to His Highness, hoping that His Highness would prepare early. Sdlod.

"I'll think about it seriously. After the war, the selection and appointment of officials in various places, urban reconstruction, and other matters, the prime minister, you should consult with other ministers and try to appoint some young officials, and the empire needs to inject some vitality. My headache now is how to reward and punish the generals in the army, especially those officers who disobeyed orders on the battlefield and abandoned the duty of defending the city. Even Grimm, who died in Patna, is now the focus of everyone's discussion!"

"I will do my best to do what Your Highness has to do. As for the rewards and punishments after the war, His Royal Highness does not need to worry, he can wait for Marshal Yantian to return to the imperial capital, and then discuss it with him in detail. He has a very high prestige in the army, and he is also respected by everyone in the DPRK and China, and it is thought that everything will go smoothly with him. Sdelow said respectfully.

"It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

When Sdelow left, he was extremely satisfied with his trip to the palace, because he took the opportunity of "gift-giving" to successfully seize the power of adjusting the appointment of officials and building land in various places.

His move, which he later called "the most successful betrayal" by local politicians around him, is a classic example of a politician who skillfully pressures those in power on behalf of his own interest group. Under the premise of not harming the interests of himself and his followers, he betrayed himself with a gentlemanly style and showed his loyalty to the prince Shiyan. also euphemistically brought the words of the aristocracy to Shi Yan, which not only won his trust, but also indirectly exerted great pressure on him, so that Shi Yan had to think twice when acting later, and even made a lot of concessions.

After Sdelow left, Shi Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Old Prime Minister, you have done a wonderful move! It seems that these nobles have put a lot of pressure on you. You've become a lobbyist for them. Well, in that case, I'm also in a hurry, so let's cook them slowly over low heat. ”

"As long as you firmly grasp the military power and the hearts of the people, can these civilian officials jump up? Let them gain power for a few days now, and in the future, they will not pinch anyone they want to pinch a few times. ”

Shi Yan thought of Ya

Finally, he decided to make certain concessions in other areas and firmly control and consolidate his position. Then slowly move towards your goal.

Count Liuyun, who was on the cusp of the storm, simply arranged the work of the Independence Legion after the war, pulled the old card into the room, and began a mysterious study. The reason for this is because as soon as the war ended, he received a piece of information from Shui Han.

After reading this information, Liuyun's face turned pale. Cold hands and feet. He never thought of it. In this world, such a terrible thing can be encountered. According to this information from the Sith, it is likely that the cult is hidden in the territory of the Sith Empire, and has completed the infiltration of the Sith military, with the tacit consent of those in power, conducting a brutal and bloody experiment.

"What the, a bird cult, it's a total anti-human terrorist organization! The thousand-year-old legend of this elven race. It's actually associated with such a ghostly thing. Lao Tzu is playing big. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid it's unlikely that you want to survive in the future!"

But. After reading this information, Liuyun's heart was relieved. There are two main reasons for this: First, the behavior of this cult cannot be tolerated by any mainland country, and it will inevitably be resolutely resisted by the people. In this way, one's own mission is actually the responsibility that anyone must bear. On the other hand, as a special operations instructor, Liuyun has considerable experience in dealing with such a terrorist organization. Since he was not an imaginary god or demon, he had the confidence to fight against it. The only thing that worries him is that in this era of outdated technology, it is really a headache to encounter such an organization. Thinking about those who have been made to look like zombies, a chill wells up in his heart. Once these people appear on the mainland, it is believed that few armies will be able to withstand that kind of crazy attack.

After ordering Shui Hanjia to send people to reconnoiter the activities of this cult with all his might, Liuyun finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, pulling Lao Ka to start this mysterious research.

"Playing evil with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is also playing ruthlessly with you!"

In the camp of the Independent Legion, the officers and soldiers began to repair according to Liuyun's orders.

The chief of staff, Alexander, took advantage of this opportunity to call several captains of Hanno, Charlie, Anthony and Black Hawk together for a drink and a chat. Long Yun, Iverson, Mogo, and Narun were overlooked by him, and in his words: a successful instigator must choose children and bloody young men, who are old and elite, and are difficult to call.

"Alas, the more *** you drink this wine, the more tasteless it is!" During the banquet, Alexander suddenly slammed the wine bowl on the table.

"What's the matter, Chief of Staff, don't you just want to have fun when you drink together, why are you sighing?" Zi Wencheng asked with a big grin.

"I've been holding back my heart all the time! You are busy leading troops to fight all day long, and you don't know about some recent scandals in the imperial capital, right?"

As soon as Alexander's words landed, several pairs of ears stood up.

"What scandal did the chief of staff upset you?" asked with a grin.

"It's none of my business, but it has a lot to do with you. After all, I haven't been in the Black Hawk Independence Legion for a long time, and it's not a shame to be a shame on me!" Alexander's words fluttered, and suddenly the group of people couldn't sit still.

"What's the matter, Chief of Staff, tell us quickly! Who dares to provoke Black Eagle, Lao Tzu will make him regret being a man!" Tie Lie's temper was second only to Zi Wencheng among several captains, and he slapped the table and stood up when he heard this.

"Your boss doesn't have a good relationship with Miss Scarlet Tears, right?" Alexander began.

"Of course, like Miss Ling'er, she is the sister-in-law in the eyes of all of us Black Hawk!" said everyone. has been with Hua Feixian for a long time, and these people are used to treating her as their own person and as the future lady of Liuyun.

"But I heard that there is a boy who is not long-eyed recently, and he pursues her all day long, making the city full of storms!"

"Chasing is also for nothing! She is single-minded towards our leader! This corner of the wall can be very strong!" Ah Xu said nonchalantly.

"You know how to play a ball! Since it's our sister-in-law, we can't chase it! This *** is called harassment, and it must be repaired well!" Zi Wencheng patted Ah Xu's head and said loudly.

"Hehe, this can't be said clearly! Isn't there a saying that says: as long as the hoe is wielded well, there is no corner of the wall that cannot be dug down! I heard that the kid who chases flowers and tears is what kind of orc envoy, richer than your leader, more handsome than him, and better than his temperament and demeanor. The most important thing is that people are chic, coaxing girls to have a sweet mouth as if they have been smeared with honey, and they are shameless and shameless when they chase people, how many girls can stand it? How can you be like your leader, you have everything in your heart, and you don't dare to say it if you like it! Your leader has the emperor's marriage, and Miss Hua is now in a time when she is injured and her heart is empty and helpless, which is quite dangerous!

Alexander's words produced an extremely powerful lethality, and several people stood up with red faces.

"Charlie, Lao Tzu bets a hundred gold coins, and whoever sees that kid will go up and beat him so that his mother doesn't know him!"

"Damn, what kind of bird and beastman, Lao Tzu tortured him so much that he was honestly a beast, and he didn't want to be a man again!"

"Brothers, copy the guy, take advantage of the darkness and touch him!"

"Concentrate on his lower body and scrap his!"

For a time, the crowd was furious. Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Alexander said slowly: "It seems that everyone is a bloody man! I am not wrong about you, but now we are the famous Black Eagle Independent Legion of the Empire, we can't use these unseemly moves, we want to fight, not to attack! These tricks of yours can only add trouble to the leader and destroy his image in Miss Hua Scarlet Tears' heart, so it will definitely not work! Let's plan well, not only to make that kid suffocated, but also to move Miss Hua Scarlet Tears!"

At Alexander's instigation, several officers of the Black Hawk Separate Regiment discussed with him. Of course, it was Alexander who made the main decision.

"Miss Scarlet Tears is the most beautiful flower of the Black Eagle Independent Legion, no one wants to take it away!"

As Alexander threw down the last cruel words of love, a vigorous "flower protection movement" kicked off.
