Chapter 8: The Situation of the Empire

"Something is happening, but it's almost always happening!"

Liu Xuan summed up his experience in one sentence, and it was clear from his expression that he didn't want to talk about it.

As for Liu Yun's thoughts, he still knew this former subordinate very well, this man was a very smart man, and he knew what to ask and what not to ask—besides, he could know this question even if he didn't have to ask.

Sure enough, Liu Yun didn't ask much, he was silent for a while, and then looked Liu Xuan up and down.

"Adult ......"

"Now I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and you will call me Your Majesty in the future!"

"Your Majesty?"

Liu Yun was stunned, this time he was stunned for even longer than before, Liu Xuan didn't think there was anything strange, this reaction was actually normal.

"Big ...... Your Majesty has changed a lot!"

Liu Yun's emotion is not only about the changes in Liu Xuan's appearance and figure, but also about some changes in Liu Xuan's personality.

He used to be Liu Xuan's close subordinate, and knew that when the empire was established, because of Liu Xuan's proposal, he gave up the emperor system and chose the joint government model, but after not knowing what happened, Liu Xuan re-raised a new force and became the emperor himself.

It's like a person who supports the people and suddenly believes in the way of the emperor, which is almost a completely different idea.

At least according to Liu Yun's understanding of Liu Xuan before, Liu Xuan should be very resistant to the emperor system - of course, he can't know that Liu Xuan resists the emperor system because he doesn't want to be a person under the emperor, which means that he is a head short for no reason.

As for him becoming emperor, then a few other people would not agree, so they drummed up this system of joint control of the empire. From this point of view, Liu Xuan is essentially not against the emperor's system, provided that he does not become the emperor's subordinate. If he were to be emperor himself. Of course, there is no problem.

But Liu Yun didn't know, he just thought that Liu Xuan didn't like the emperor system at all, and suddenly learned that Liu Xuan actually became the emperor himself. That's when I was a little surprised.

But everything can be pushed to that matter, only when Liu Xuan is stimulated to have this kind of change in concept, he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

Really have to count it. Those few people, plus Liu Xuan, are not the emperors in the empire? It's just that there are a little more people.

Liu Xuan saw that Liu Yun was gradually regaining his composure, so he casually asked about his experience in the Xiuzhen Empire over the years.

"Not long after His Majesty's disappearance, Lord Tianhuo ...... No, Tianhuo and the others claimed that the adults died of serious injuries accidentally, and then divided all the powers that originally belonged to the adults, and at the same time, generals like me, who were more close to the adults, were also transferred from their original posts, and gradually moved away from the center......"

What Liu Yun said was not detailed, just a general approximation. In particular, some of his own depressed experiences can be summed up in a few sentences.

But Liu Xuan could hear the many hardships hidden in it.

Liu Yun was once the supreme commander of the empire's main fleet, and one of the few people who stood at the pinnacle of the imperial officials. The fleet under his command is the main elite of the Empire. And it is not so easy for such an officer with an important position to move. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Yun is still in the army hundreds of years after he left the Xiuzhen Empire.

It is conceivable that if you want to clean up Liu Yun, you must demote him little by little, such as from an important position at the beginning to a position that looks equal, but the real power is a little weaker. ...,

and then transferred to a position with less real power, weakening his power little by little, and finally reducing his influence in the army little by little.

At present, that group of people has done a very successful job, making the commander of the main fleet of the dignified army an expeditionary force composed entirely of miscellaneous armies, or the commander of an advance team, Tianhuo They have really put a lot of effort into it!

"Your combat power still hasn't improved much!"

Listening to Liu Yun's narration, Liu Xuan suddenly interjected. And this sentence made Liu Yun smile bitterly, especially Liu Xuan's expression when he spoke, with a little bit of hatred for iron and steel.

"Your Majesty...... I also know that I am not very talented in that area!"

Liu Yun became the commander because of his cool head and his always correct judgment of the situation, his personal force is actually not the top in the Xiuzhen Empire, which is also one of the important reasons why Ma Chao and Lu Lingqi can force him to fall into the trap when they join forces.

"That's not a reason, your current strength is hardly any improvement compared to back then!"

Liu Xuan glared at Liu Yun.

"It's been hundreds of years, no matter how bad your talent is, as long as you have the heart to work hard, it won't be like this!"

Liu Yun didn't say anything, although his experience in the past few hundred years has indeed been a little harder, but it is not that he doesn't even have time to cultivate, as Liu Xuan said, if he puts a little effort into this aspect, even if Tianhuo wants to move him, they will have more concerns.

Otherwise, if their strength continues to improve, they will not simply throw themselves into the garbage heap, at least they have to win them over, in which case their situation may be completely different.

However, the so-called gains and losses, it was precisely because of these circumstances that he actually met Liu Xuan again, and I don't know how to evaluate it.

Liu Xuan also thought of this, so he didn't continue to say more, but asked in detail what had changed in the Xiuzhen Empire during his absence?

"This ......"

Liu Yun hesitated, and then he said, when he said this, Liu Xuan knew why Liu Yun hesitated for a while.

FeelingsSince Tianhuo and the others announced that Liu Xuan was dead, it has not been three or five years - for immortals, three or five years is really fleeting, and they can't even wait for three or five years, which shows how urgent Tianhuo and others are.

The original empire was renamed the Immortal Kingdom, and Tianhuo called himself the Immortal Emperor and commanded the entire empire, and it was precisely because of his order that the entire empire was divided overnight, although in the eyes of many people, it was still a huge and powerful empire on the surface, but in fact, it had been divided into several factions internally......

Among them, the immortal kingdom honored by Tianhuo basically encompassed most of the original territory, and at the same time took over the essence of the entire empire - of course, the worst things were also in the hands of Tianhuo.

The Immortal Kingdom has the most power, the largest number of troops, and the strongest combat power, but it also has the most problems, and the internal turmoil has left Tianhuo with little time to expand its territory, and just consolidating his rule is enough for him to be busy.

In contrast, Heatley took away the most elite part of the combat power, and formed his own kingdom within the immortal kingdom.

When he heard this, Liu Xuan was not surprised at all.

"Heatley himself is not of the same race as Tianhuo and me, and it was nothing to get together for the sake of fighting together back then, but now that he has torn his face, he naturally won't be willing to be subservient to others......"

Looking at Liu Yun, Liu Xuan knew almost without asking that what Heatley had taken with him must have been carefully cultivating several legions, most of which were his own clan or elite members of other nationalities. ...,

"Your Majesty is right, after Heatley established the kingdom, he didn't decide the name of the country, nor did he give himself any name, but he just concentrated on the elite's own power, and his strength has increased greatly over the past few hundred years, and he has begun to seek outward expansion in the past hundred years, and Tianhuo has no choice but to watch the kingdom's strength gradually expand!"

Liu Xuan nodded, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something: "By the way, what about my nominal apprentice?"

Because he was just a nominal apprentice, Liu Xuan didn't care too much, but he didn't hide anything that should be taught, but what he didn't expect was that this apprentice actually got together with Tianhuo in the end, and when he was attacked by himself, this apprentice was a great contribution!

"She'......"

Liu Yun also remembered this person, organized the language, and then continued.

"She and Ah Fei teamed up to form a small principality, but honestly didn't make any noise, but her subordinates felt that it was a little weird to be quiet......"

"yes......"

When Liu Xuan heard this, he put this matter aside, especially when he heard Liu Yun say that the location of the principality happened to be on the other side of the immortal kingdom of Tianhuo, and if he wanted to destroy that criminal, he had to clean up Tianhuo first!

In this case, there is no rush for a while, and it is better to ask the others first.

Xiang Xiang said a lot slightly, and finally Liu Xuan finally understood what the situation of the empire was.

From his current point of view, Tianhuo's immortal kingdom is the largest, almost equivalent to the empire formed together back then, but after all, it was still quite affected, and Heatley's kingdom seemed to have dug up the best piece of meat on its side, and then slowly tasted a little soup without leaving it to Tianhuo.

His apprentice was silently hiding behind the immortal kingdom, the distance was far away and the entire force was extremely low-key, even if he wanted to figure out the depth, he couldn't do it now.

In addition, there are scattered various forces around the fairy country, just in front of him, some of these forces are close to the fairy country, some are close to the kingdom, and there are also places that are completely irrelevant, but those adventurers just set a rule and deal with it like that.

And the expeditionary force that Ma Chao just defeated, although it was the expeditionary force of the Immortal Kingdom, was actually just a sign, and the only person who had anything to do with the Immortal Kingdom was standing in front of him - Liu Yun was assigned to the frontier by Tianhuo in the name of the advisor.

"In other words, that expeditionary force has nothing to do with the Immortal Kingdom at all!"

"Yes, the members of this expeditionary force are all composed of those adventurers and some soldiers who have been eliminated by the regular army!" Liu Yun paused: "But the most of the members are still the criminals who have been assigned......

P.S: I had a minor surgery a few days ago, and I thought it was nothing, and I didn't have to be hospitalized or bedridden. As a result, I didn't expect that I couldn't calm down after tossing in the past two days, and the situation is much better today, and I can finally write, so I quickly sent an update...... ）
