305 Honorary Earl of the Empire!
At noon on the second day of the elder's house forcing the palace, public opinion in the entire empire was still boiling.
Yang Wei, who slipped away to rest under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, had just slept for less than eight hours before being dragged out of the bed by Catherine.
Several maids sent by the emperor had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Yawn ......"
Yang Wei's eyes were full of tears, just because he loved Emperor Xing deeply.
Yang Wei asked, "How's it going?" ”
"The House of Elders was temporarily controlled by the defense forces, and the elders were ready to enter the palace one by one to be questioned and bribed by the emperor."
Catherine sat on the edge of the bed and sighed softly:
"His Majesty the Emperor, with your help, not only won the House of Elders, but also won the hearts of the people, according to the survey just conducted, the people's respect for the emperor has been substantially improved."
Yang Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Public opinion is a double-edged sword, the reason why the emperor can attract the attention of the whole people is because he rarely appears in front of the people on weekdays, and he shows up a few more times, and the mystery and sense of distance disappear, which may be a good thing or a bad thing." ”
"But your situation may be even more dangerous now."
Catherine looked at Yang Wei worriedly, took the initiative to hold the back of Yang Wei's hand, and said in a low voice:
"Protect yourself, don't disobey the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and don't think about what you can get.
"You have shown too much limelight in front of the emperor, Hanton, your appeal and influence on the people have exceeded the limit of what an autocratic emperor can tolerate."
Yang Wei frowned and looked at Catherine.
He suddenly felt that the girlfriend in front of him seemed to be a little different from usual.
"Catherine, did you think of this yourself, or did someone tell you?"
Catherine laughed, "The super reformers are all under house arrest, and our communicators are confiscated except for me, who can tell me this?" I'm worried about you, Hanton, even if you are a knife in the hands of His Majesty, this knife is too dazzling. ”
"Well, I know this," Yang Wei smiled, "It's not, a bomb made me angry, it's okay, it's a big deal, let's leave the Emperor Star together." ”
Catherine looked at Yang Wei and bit her mouth lightly.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Wei raised his hand and stroked Catherine's cheek, and said softly:
"Don't think about it, the emperor can't attack me directly, he will give me a knighthood, give me a reward, give me some honors, and probably deliberately don't give me what I want most, but at this stage, the emperor will only continue to use my influence among the people.
"Catherine, have you ever wondered what the Emperor is pursuing?"
"What?"
"History," Yang said, "almost every emperor's desires are related to his own historical positioning." ”
Catherine thought thoughtfully.
"Okay, rest first, I won't kiss you without brushing my teeth," Yang Wei pinched her face, "Don't worry about the super-changer, the emperor should arrange for you to carry out a second thought imprint." ”
Catherine whispered, "You can fight the imprint of thoughts, right?" ”
"Huh?" Yang Wei looked into Catherine's eyes, "What do you mean?" ”
"Bligh once told me that he could plant a spiritual imprint for other superalters, and that this spiritual imprint, if strong enough, could counter the ideological imprint planted by the machine."
Catherine subconsciously looked out of the door, leaned close to Yang Wei's ear, and whispered:
"I don't want to be bound again, to plant a spiritual imprint for me, Hanton, let me love you, love you madly for you, or make me obsessed and obsessed with some little things, don't let me become a slave of the empire again.
"I've had enough of this empire.
"Help me, Hanton."
At this moment, Yang Wei was surprised from the bottom of his heart, just like he saw Kigrove for the first time.
Catherine now, not affected by the imprint of thought?
He suddenly raised his hand and hugged Catherine hard, hugging her arm tightly, Catherine's breathing was trembling slightly, and her tense body gradually relaxed in Yang Wei's embrace.
"I'll help you," Yang Wei said softly, "Don't think about it, don't worry, I can help you settle anything." ”
"Well, I'm fine," Catherine replied gently.
Yang Wei kissed her lightly on the forehead, but some not very good thoughts appeared in her heart.
She is now free.
Freedom of the Super Makeover.
However, Catherine's original 'positioning' was to be used as a humanoid weapon to monitor and control Bligh, her golden mask could withstand mental shocks, and her brain was implanted with a chip that would detonate itself if a mental imprint was detected.
She wanted to take a risk and give it a try.
Yang Wei didn't dare to let her get into danger easily.
……
Yang Wei really didn't expect that he usually cheated others, but this time he was cheated by the old emperor!
When he arrived at the palace, the old emperor was holding a family banquet, and the hundreds of direct and collateral members of the Sherman family present were all socializing normally with the nobility.
When Yang Wei was brought in by the maid through the side door, Dao Dao's gaze suddenly fell to Yang Wei.
Yang Huan's eyes crossed, the elegant prince nodded to Yang Huan, the beautiful princess cast an admiring look at Yang Huan, and those young and handsome princes looked at Yang Huan's eyes full of urgency, as if they wanted to win the attention of the old emperor by establishing friendship with Yang Huan.
Yang Wei gave a military salute to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture, and dense footsteps appeared on both sides of the hall.
There is an ambush?
Yang Wei had already started a rehearsal on his own in his heart, how to attack the emperor, press the old man in the palm of his hand and then find a way to escape from the emperor.
But fortunately, Yang Wei's psychological quality is hard enough, and he neither shows a vicious look nor shows any aggressive tendencies.
Then, two rows of honor guards dressed in Chinese costumes ran to both sides of Yang Wei, drew the metal saber at his waist, and formed a crossed 'sword' door above Yang Wei's head.
The old emperor stood up, clapped his hands, and the music immediately stopped, and the fixed-point amplification equipment allowed the old emperor's voice to spread throughout the banquet.
"Look at it all, this is our hero of the Sherman Empire! A true guardian of the glory of the Emperor Star! Hanton! ”
Applause erupted everywhere.
The old emperor waved affectionately to Yang Wei, Yang Wei greeted him with a smile and stood in front of the old emperor.
The old emperor took the long sword from the maid on the side, pressed the tip of the sword on Yang Wei's left and right shoulders successively, swept it lightly to the outside, and threw the long sword to the maid, looking at Yang Wei with a smile.
A ceremonial officer on the side reminded: "Viscount Hanton, according to the imperial etiquette law, it is reasonable to perform a half-kneeling salute to accept His Majesty's canonization." ”
Yang Wei nodded with a smile, withdrew his right leg, and knelt down on one knee with his head bowed.
Made!
This old emperor will definitely take the opportunity to pose for a photo!
Sure enough, the old emperor stepped forward, leaned over and put his arm around Yang Wei, and the photo ball flying from the side took a series of photos in a row.
Yang Wei was helped up.
The old emperor smiled and said, "My knight, the empire is proud of you. ”
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"Of course, it's your reward," the emperor squinted and smiled, took the box from the ceremonial officer, and handed it to Yang Wei, "Open it and take a look." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Wei opened the box and saw a golden tulip badge, and below it was a small scroll.
The Royal Medal of Valor, the Sherman Empire's top three individual medals of honor, can be used to enjoy the same treatment as royalty in any region of the empire. - only formally equivalent.
The scroll was amazing, Yang Wei opened it and looked at it, and found that the material of this paper was very special, and the content on it also made his eyes shine.
The Emperor himself canonized the Honorary Earl of the Empire, who could arbitrarily designate a small administrative star as a private domain for a period of 100 years.
Private territory!
A livable planet!
Although it is only a 100-year period and is not a private domain that can be used as a family inheritance, it is also a real reward!
Not only does he own 8 to 50 percent of the tax revenue of this small administrative star, but he also has the power to set up a private fleet, which he can use as the home port of his fleet!
Thank you, Grand Elder.
Yang Wei expressed his gratitude to the Great Elder from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for the Great Elder who gave him this opportunity, how could he have completed the promotion of the title in such a short period of time, and also mixed up with a small administrative star of the Sherman Empire as a territory for a hundred-year period!
Then, Yang Wei winked at the emperor and muttered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, cells." ”
"What?"
The old emperor looked at Yang Wei with a pair of old eyes full of innocence and kindness.
Yang Wei coughed and whispered, "Your Majesty, you promised me, the cells of the ancient gods' lifeforms. ”
"When will you be promoted to duke," the old emperor patted Yang Wei's arm lightly, "Don't worry, kid, I'm sure you can do it...... I asked you to toss the House of Elders, but I didn't expect you kid to almost toss the House of Elders to pieces, and now there is a mess waiting for me to clean up, are you embarrassed to ask for the Ancient God Cell? ”
Yang Wei: ......
Isn't this being pitted what is?
The old emperor turned his head and said loudly: "The banquet continues, move a table and chairs here, and I want to have a good chat with the honorary earl of Hanton." ”
The music is playing again.
Yang Wei was a little depressed, sat down on the right side of the emperor, and began to mumble something to the old emperor in front of the royal family.
"Hanton, there are a couple of questions that I can't figure out."
The old emperor wondered:
"In the core area of the shaped bomb, the energy is instantly released comparable to the naval guns of the main battleship, according to the strength of that Valkyrie's body that cannot withstand a two-hundred-meter gunboat, even if your body is stronger than the Valkyrie, you shouldn't be able to survive.
"How did you do that?"
"Your Majesty, this is also my question."
Yang Wei quickly crossed one thought after another in his heart, but on the surface, he remained silent and said in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, this is also my question, I received an anonymous message that alerted me ten seconds before the explosion.
"I kicked the car out of the suspension lane, and I barely got seriously injured by leaning on the super strong material structure of the suspension lane.
"It's just a pity for the innocent people."
"That's not important," the old emperor said casually, and wondered again, "I sent someone to carefully investigate the regional communications at that time, but no relevant information was captured. ”
Yang Wei couldn't cry or laugh: "Does Your Majesty suspect that I put the bomb myself?" ”
"I had this conjecture, but I quickly dispelled this suspicion, you didn't have the channel to get the bomb," the old emperor sighed, "I found the murderer who planted the bomb, but you must already know the relevant news." ”
Yang Wei nodded in acknowledgment and did not deny this information.
The old emperor asked, "What did you do to Elder Pisen?" ”
"I used a few little tricks."
"There was a large area of confusion in his brain's memory, but I had his brain dissected and completed the data collation, which contained a large number of criminal records related to the Great Elder's interest group."
The old emperor snorted:
"And it's certain that this guy named Pissen has not undergone any form of memory modification surgery, and in his memory, there is no news of giving instructions to the murderer.
"The bomb wasn't planted by the House of Elders."
"The military department?" Yang Wei frowned and asked, "Or is it a Divine Sect?" ”
The old emperor glanced at Yang Wei and said with a smile: "Why don't you suspect it's me?" ”
"Because there is no need for Your Majesty to do such a thing," Yang Wei said, "The military power is in the hands of Your Majesty, and you have a hundred ways to clean up the Elders' House, but the difference between the intensity and whether the means are beautiful or not." ”
"Uh-huh," the old emperor shrugged slightly, "You underestimated the House of Elders, and in the face of their forced palace, I could only make compromises, but you guy, with your tricks, caught them off guard." Public opinion is like a knife, hurting others and hurting oneself, this is the ancestral motto of our Sherman family, and this time I actually made an exception. ”
Yang Wei nodded slowly.
The old emperor said with a smile: "The feeling of admiration of all the people is also quite good. ”
Yang Wei was inexplicably a little vigilant in his heart.
This old emperor seems to be extremely sober in his mind, and he is not very easy to flicker.
"Hanton, don't care who planted the bomb, there are only a few possibilities to do this in the Emperor Star, and a few possibilities are eliminated one by one, I think I already know the answer."
The old emperor sighed and continued:
"We still have to think about the aftermath of the incident.
"You've been in the limelight too much this time, and the aristocratic community is afraid that they're deeply dissatisfied with you, and the seats in the House of Elders are a quarter vacant, and I need time to arrange for someone who is absolutely loyal to me to enter.
"What do you think you can do next?"
Yang Wei: "Cultivation, vacation, get a rare vacation." ”
The old emperor turned his head and glared at him.
Yang Wei: ......
"Of course, Your Majesty, you have the final say."
"Now that public opinion is boiling, I want to carry out aristocratic rectification activities throughout the territory," the emperor said with a smile, "and then you will patrol the territory of the empire as my envoy, and the noble court and the local defense forces, as well as a capital ship regiment, will be at your disposal." ”
Yang Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what did you ask me to check?" ”
"Go and purge the nobles of the Great Elder's lineage," the Emperor said indifferently, "The war has made the treasury turnover a little tight, and the empire needs to squeeze the storage reservoir on its body." ”
"I see, is there anything else you have to advise, Your Majesty?"
The emperor smiled and said: "You must be reasonable and convincing to the people, if in the course of your investigation, you find out who is at odds with foreign forces such as the new federation, you can deal with it seriously, attract the people's attention to you, and divert the class contradictions." ”
Yang Wei nodded slowly.
Then, he looked up at the emperor, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a personal request. ”
"Just talk about it."
"The group of super-reformers, is Your Majesty going to promote the second ideological imprint?"
The Emperor cleared his throat and whispered:
"You look to the left, and in the far corner, the old man with a little scruffy and gray hair is the one with glasses, and that's my uncle, my grandfather's youngest child, who is now the head of the Imperial Ascension Laboratory.
"He doesn't look down on this kind of banquet, he usually opens his mouth to me, either asking for money or talent, but this time, he came.
"Do you know why?
"Hahaha, because he heard that the super-reformers organized trouble, and more than a hundred super-reformers were found to be mentally branded with allegiance to the Elders' House."
The emperor's gaze crossed a little ruthlessly:
"The ascension experiment needs materials, and the super-changers were born for this experiment, and more than 100 people have been sent to the ascension laboratory, and they will immediately carry out brainwashing and ideological imprinting later, and perhaps through their dedication, the empire can obtain some of the key data of the four-dimensional universe."
Yang Wei said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I want to talk about my girlfriend." ”
"Captain Catherine? She's good," said the Emperor, "and she was also taking a group of super-alterers with her, and she was resisting the orders of the House of Elders in an attempt to stop the escalation. ”
"She has a chip in her head, and she can't accept the secondary thought imprint," Yang Wei deliberately confused the thought imprint and the spiritual imprint, "You can verify this matter through the superalterer organization, what I think is, can I take her with me." ”
The Emperor groaned softly, leaning back in his seat and thinking.
"Hanton, I will let the Superalter Organization review and discuss this matter, and the Supermodifiers on the Emperor Star will also return to the training base on the Emperor Star Circle.
"My personal advice, though, is that you try to keep some distance from the superchanger."
The Emperor said softly:
"I don't want to see a group of warriors with super strength huddle together, don't worry, I'll let them take care of Catherine and won't let her suffer the slightest grievance.
"But she must go back to the Supermodator base and see if there is a way to get the chip out of her brain.
"The Overalter must be loyal to the Empire."
Yang Wei wanted to say something, but the emperor sighed:
"Do you know, Hanton, what would happen if a superalter harbored hatred for the Empire, but in the 1 in 100 million chance, he was lucky enough to survive through the ascension experiment and become a high-dimensional life?"
The Emperor looked a little distant, staring ahead:
"The Emperor Star will be destroyed in an instant.
"Ants in the high-dimensional world are likely to have a dimensionality reduction blow to us.
"That's the crux of the matter."
"Okay," Yang Wei spread his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." ”
"As long as you work for the empire with peace of mind, Catherine will definitely not have any problems, I promise you, in the name of the emperor," the old emperor patted Yang Wei on the shoulder and blinked again, "Moreover, I have prepared a gift for you, Catherine is by your side, it is not convenient." ”
Yang Wei: ......
Woman?
He guessed right, but not entirely.
