About the rebels, Bud knew what Heaton had planned at the beginning.

Let Yolanda and the others go out, and there will be only three people left in the room.

Because of his weakness, the meeting could not be held in the council chamber.

Heaton sat on the edge of the bed, and asked Boud and Gozzi to find a stool and sit across from Heaton.

Pulling a small round table over, spreading out the pen and paper, Heaton began to draw.

A meeting to deal a blow to the rebels was held casually in the dormitory.

"Gozqi, this time the rebel plan of the imperial capital has been thwarted, I guess they will not give up so simply, the reason is that Shura alone came to invade the palace!"

Heaton drew a simple outline of the imperial capital on paper, with the imperial coat of arms drawn in the direction of the palace.

It is a shield shape separated by a cross line in the middle, with dark colors in the upper left and lower right corners.

Because it's a black pen, there's no way to paint it red.

Neither Gozzi nor Bud replied, waiting for Heaton to continue.

"Just like I don't like too radical plans, the rebels' thoughts are actually similar, Shura's actions have been carried out from the beginning with the idea that success is the best, and it is harmless if it does not succeed, so it is Shura who contributes to it, not the rebel forces."

"But Your Majesty, what the rebels have done in the imperial capital, the two riots in the slums, and the tide of dangerous beasts in the southern city and the dangerous beast breed in the northern city, can even sacrifice three powerful emperor envoys?"

The dialogue between the emperor and his subordinates needs words like Gozqi, which can not only reveal to Bude what happened in the imperial capital, but also ask the questions in his heart, so the next topic.

Heaton glanced at Gozzi with satisfaction, the tacit understanding between the two for many years has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Gozzi gradually became a qualified favorite.

"Speaking of which, we have to say that Earnest is dead."

Heaton circled it by writing Onest's name in the margin.

"Is Earnest the reason why the Imperial Capital has become what it is today?"

"Yes!"

Gozzi and Bud nodded at the same time, which was one thing that everyone thought.

The officials of the empire are very clear that the empire has become like this because of Earnest's ascendancy.

"No, it's not, it's all of you."

Heaton smiled slightly, and his next words were about subverting the three views of the people of the empire.

"Empires have existed for thousands of years, so much so that every person in the empire is proud to be an empire, and they no longer have the concept of dynastic succession.

Whether it is a rural rebel who can't eat, an ordinary person who works hard, or a businessman who travels around, the pride of looking down on the supremacy of the foreign empire is in his bones. ”

"But, Your Majesty..."

"I know what you're going to say, isn't it why there are still rebels fighting against the Empire, I'll explain this later, I'll ask you first, Gozzy, have you thought about the fall of the Empire, to be honest."

Gozzi was momentarily speechless, and he thought of the idea he had when he first accepted the position of head of the assassination force.

"I thought, Your Majesty, that was when the Minister was in power."

From the time of the selection of the assassination unit, Gozzi discussed this topic with Bill, another person in charge.

Both of them knew very well that the life of the empire would be ten years at most.

"What about you, General Budd?"

"I never thought that the empire would not perish!"

Bude's tone was a little heavier, and his eyes glanced at Gozzi on the side, as if to say, you kid actually doubted the empire, it was really disloyal.

"This is the ass decides the head, whether it is Bud or the minister, they never thought about the end of the empire, because when they get to their position, they and the empire are one, and the destruction of the empire is also the destruction of itself, unless it is the liquidation of the empire, that is, I get rid of the minister."

"And Gozziling is much better, because of strength and position, if you have the heart, you can actually withdraw from this matter, of course, because your loyalty is greater than selfishness, so you didn't do it, and what about the poor people of lower status?"

"They seem to be the catalyst for the demise of the empire, or they can't survive before the empire falls, so they rebel, and that's what pushes the empire down."

"So what is the reason why they can't live, is it really the minister? Yes, the direct cause is the minister, but the root cause is not, the root cause is the pride of the imperial people, the superior who harbors this pride.

The pride peculiar to the Empire did not make them loyal to the Empire, but became selfish, which was unique to the superiors, because they enjoyed the power that the Empire people had to be exclusive to the superiors. ”

Heaton picked up the coffee that Yolanda had brewed before leaving, took a sip, and continued:

"Just like Gozzi and Bud, you are proud of the empire but you don't understand the thoughts of ordinary people at all, the reason why the empire has become what it is now, you also have a responsibility, those nobles, bad businessmen, never thought that the empire would perish, they used the glory given to them by the empire, to oppress, to infringe on ordinary people, this desire gradually breeds, gradually, after all, it will overwhelm the glory that the empire brought to them at the beginning, and become only demanding."

"The people who are related to the ministers, within three years, the empire will be liquidated one by one, but it is useless, this is the malpractice of the system, it is the corruption of the people's hearts, and it is that group of people who are always in the middle.

For thousands of years, up and down, from the bottom, there is a glimmer of opportunity, they will seek welfare for their own selfishness, poor countrymen, always yearning for the prosperity of the imperial capital, a little older, who have experienced the darkness of society, will only join the stream. Being awake and independent and able to survive is extremely difficult. ”

The environment is an extremely important factor, and in the later Night Raids, only Najeta, Red Hitomi, and Brand are the ones who are truly revolutionary.

But this is the person in the comics, and only in this world do you know how difficult it is to maintain such a pure heart.

Don't look at Heaton saying so much, but he still can't do it, he can do his part for ordinary people within the scope of his ability, but it is difficult to be selfless.

Heaton paused for a moment to continue, for he realized that if he delved into it, it would be an endless topic, and that Bud and Gozzi were not stupid people.

And now that the empire has reached this point, the first thing to solve is not the problem of the system, but the rebels, the nobility, and the unfathomable hearts of the people.

The cultivation of a new generation takes a long time, and the selection of kind and talented people is no less than looking for a needle in the sea.

The new imperial plan is not as simple as issuing a decree to remove the decay.

The maintenance of the empire is nothing more than the reason for its strength.

People and talents are the key and the difficulty.
