Chapter 363: The Most Troublesome Thing
Jira gets the point out: the sharing of powers, each with its own role. That was exactly what Wen Lun, Man Yushu and others thought, and that should be the idea of many wise men who had studied under Mr. Luo Wu - the kingdom did not belong to the king himself, and the world should be the world of the people. This statement is quite similar to the new political system in the mouth of the great Jiang Ping brothers, but one is sincerely trying to return the government to the people, and the other is a puppet who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep.
Although this idea has been decided, and under the impetus of the two wise men, the specific steps are also being implemented in an orderly manner, but Qi Lang does not expect to be idle immediately, and can take time out to do the things he wants to be busy with the most, or rather, at least not at the moment.
The young king was busy. If it is said that the management of internal affairs, Wen Lun and Man Yushu and their think tank can take over most of the work, but in terms of foreign affairs, it is he, the king, who must personally take the lead. Many small countries in Middle-earth sent diplomatic envoys at the first time, and every distinguished visitor needed Qi Lang to personally receive him and chat about some high-sounding nonsense. It was a great test for him, and fortunately Gila had made a draft for him every time, otherwise he would have caused a diplomatic conflict.
Qi Lang never imagined that there was so much attention to talking to outside guests, in addition to being polite, he even had to carefully consider every word when he spoke, and he had to try his best to guess the meaning of the other party's words. It seems that Jira is right, politicians are by no means simple, just the mouth full of clouds and fog cover speech training, is enough to make people turn into an old fox.
But not all emissaries are so difficult to deal with, at least the Xin Zhengzhi Xin Commander sent by the Mingyu Kingdom is much easier. And, of course, Captain Steve, who was sent from the Luhmann Empire. They're old friends. Sitting and chatting with them, even if Qi Lang inadvertently said a dirty word or two, they would not care.
Unlike the envoys of other countries, the old friends of the two countries, in addition to bringing congratulations, also revealed some useful news. It is known that some unexpected changes have occurred on the side of the Otto Empire - just a few months ago, Princess Hannah fell ill and died, which must have occurred during Absion's attack on Lujia Town.
It was undoubtedly Queen Jenny's move. It's just that she didn't time it well, so that the news reached Absion in advance, otherwise if the fierce guy really forced the attack as planned, it was very likely that there would be a lose-lose result, and that should be the most popular for the sinister Jenny.
This news was provided by the spies of the Mingyu Kingdom, and its accuracy should be beyond doubt. The Luman Empire's Ministry of Military Affairs also provided important information, but considering their previous so-so style, the accuracy of the information remains to be verified.
Their message is also about Abhion. It is said that his pet red-headed vulture was seen near the Araki primeval forest in the southwest of the continent, and the natural environment in that area was relatively harsh and uninhabited. The Badji from the mainland of Beluwa seems to be a frequent haunt there. Does that mean that Absion has joined forces with Bhaji, wanting to harness the power of those strange-looking but incomparably powerful orcs? What about paying the blood debt to Jenny?
Because Qi Lang's schedule was very tight, he didn't have time to get together with the two old acquaintances, so he could only ask them to give them words of gratitude and hurry back to their respective countries to resume their lives. And Qi Lang himself still has to talk to those masked people every day, keep smiling, and express some false gratitude.
However, it seems that the trouble is gradually decreasing, and the early preparations of Wen Lun and Man Yushu are extremely sufficient, and the formulation of laws and policies, the appointment of officials, and the pacification of the people are all steadily underway. In less than two months, Qi Lang was pleasantly surprised to find that he had an extra think tank team of thousands of people in his hands, and almost all the leaders in all walks of life were included. Mr. Wen also gave the team a very grand name, called the House of Representatives, which means that all important matters need to be discussed by everyone before a decision can be made.
Of course, big discussions often lead to slow decision-making and complicate things, but Qi Lang doesn't think it hurts, and it's better to slow down the pace of development than to turn it over and over again.
Most of the personnel of the Hope Legion were placed in the spacious royal officials, who were responsible for some military affairs, but to Qi Lang, it was as if they were completely invisible and did not exist at all. The hectic situation of taking the throne for the first time made Qi Lang almost no longer have time to get together with those good friends, and even having an undisturbed meal together became a luxury. Qi Lang couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen Mi Rong, and he didn't know if the healing equipment that Lu Huan and the two little fat men had prepared for her had an effect, and when Commander Xin asked if their princess was okay that day, he was almost speechless.
Of course, Qi Lang hadn't met Joanna for a long time, and he didn't know if she and Her Royal Highness the princess had really become friends of life and death as expected after going through a hardship.
Now it is difficult for Qi Lang to understand why his parents had so little time for themselves at the beginning, they were indeed too busy at that time, almost every minute and every second was full, especially their sense of responsibility was much stronger than that of their son, and there was no new House of Representatives to share their work at that time.
Politicians are really not personal messengers.
But now the situation is different, when everything starts to get on track, Qi Lang always finds that he doesn't have to deal with a lot of official documents every day, most of the government affairs, Wen and Man, the two old gentlemen and those parliamentarians have bravely shouldered the heavy burden and rescued him. As for the military issue, Jila and Qi Fifteen also cooperated very well. Most of the earthquake towns in the south and east have been hung with the banner of the Zonghao Kingdom, and only the remote areas in the southeast still need Dong Hong to continue to lead troops to go deeper, and in about half a year, the Zonghao Kingdom will restore its original territory.
As the hectic rhythm eased, Qi Lang slowly adapted to his new identity, and even began to be relaxed. If this has been the case in the past, commentators have tended to point out bitterly that the power of the king has been weakened, and that the so-called king is left with an empty shelf, enjoying only the fruits of victory, but abdicating his responsibilities and doing nothing.
Of course, this voice has not yet been officially heard, even if someone really dares to express his heart in front of Qi Lang, Qi Lang will also persuade the righteous and awe-inspiring brother - this situation is exactly what he wants, and it is the right choice to put the country in charge of smart people.
At the same time, there is also a convenience - it means that Qi Lang can have more time to think about the more headaches, such as rescuing Mr. Zhulai and Dodim who are trapped by Credon, such as the next plan to deal with the Otto Empire, such as missing the vanished Frost, and for example, finding the most crucial way out......
More than a year has passed since the accident on the shore of Xiangshui Lake, and judging from the performance of Billy Whale's Beak at that time, the greatest calamity should be objective, that is, in a few years, the whole world may have to face the punishment of God - it may be a catastrophe!
The planned escape route has been destroyed, including the steel town called Tissot, the large black hole floating in mid-air, and one of the four keys, the Sword of Faith. Qi Lang no longer had a backup option, and there was no way to send those relatives who were extremely important to him to the unknown paradise first, all he could do now was to do his best to find the real way out.
Qi Lang has always been deeply troubled by this important matter of finding a way out, because it is very important, but it cannot be shared with everyone.
The accident that took place on the shore of Xiangshui Lake had long attracted the attention of a considerable number of soldiers, and many speculations were also circulating in private. Some people say that it was an attempt to become an immortal in the legend of the Orientals, but Billy Billy, who didn't know the depths, didn't find the trick, and started such an adventure, and finally ended up with no bones left. Others say that it was a group of scientists who invented a new weapon, but they failed to test it and everyone was blown up in the sky.
Compared to the soldiers with muddy brains, the clever Jira should have seen some clues, but he was too smart to know that the problem was impossible for him to solve, so he let Qi Lang go, and became a supporter of the most unreliable kind of rumors - what happened that day was simply a super-large magic show, the purpose of which was that the gods of heaven wanted to destroy the crazy Billy, but in the end it lost control, bringing great destruction to the soldiers of the Legion of Hope.
Did the gods apologize for that? That guy is really good at!
Jila's clever brain was obviously unusable, and that great responsibility could only be pressed on Qi Lang's own shoulders. As Mr. Wuchen said at the beginning, this responsibility itself is also Qi Lang cannot shirk, because he is that person, the person who saved the world from the sea of suffering, and he must rely on his own strength to find the real way out, the way out to save the world.
According to Mr. Zhu Lai, the inexplicable way out is hidden in the last two riddles of the wolf's necklace - "Flow heals pain, and when it comes together, it holds the stars." That's not clueless, the experience of the past year or so has given Qi Lang a lot of inspiration, at least one of them, Qi Lang already has some guesses, but that guess needs to be further verified......
