Chapter 2694

The news of emperor Chengwu's accession to the throne came to the capital three days ago.

Along with the news came the grand video of the ceremony of ascend the throne and parade.

Stimulated by the fear of collapse, the imperial families of the fourth general election took out the last capital to form a new "orthodox real imperial defense army". Although they lost the prestige of the imperial fleet and the King Kong fleet, at first glance, they were strong and powerful.

This "Chengwu emperor" should be the younger brother of Shenwu emperor in terms of blood. His blood is not noble, but he is also a real straw bag, just a puppet of the four families.

The so-called "Chengwu" is naturally the four families who hope that he can inherit the martial arts of Shenwu emperor and unify the Empire again.

The news of the new emperor's accession to the throne and the grand parade of the four families spread throughout the empire through Lingwang as an extremely effective psychological offensive.

The Millennium empire is deeply rooted, and the idea that "Heaven can't be without day, and the country can't be without monarch" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if we know that emperor Chengwu is just a puppet, and even the grand ceremony is not held in the capital, the so-called "supreme throne" is also temporarily refined, but once we sit on the throne, we naturally have the sacred glory, So that the middle and lower levels of the cultivation of immortals have set off a different wave in the bottom of their hearts.

Especially today when the situation of the empire is so chaotic, the emperor's righteousness is a more powerful weapon than a United Fleet.

"Of course I know about it."

Li Yao nodded, "emperor Chengwu is just a new puppet."

"A puppet is a puppet, but most of the time, the power of habit is extremely powerful. For a thousand years, the imperial people have always been influenced by the idea of" loyalty to the monarch and patriotism ". Many ideas are deep into the marrow, and can not be changed overnight."

Li Jialing gave a pause and said, "it's almost a year since the death of the former Emperor. Now all the puppet emperors in the four families have been crowned with dignity. There are only eight words on the flag used by the reformers to call on the heroes. The last four are" empire of innovation ", while the first four are" emperor of respect and rebellion ". Now they don't even have" emperor ". Their name is not right and their words are not right, How can we fight against rebellion and unify the Empire? "

"Yes, it's really a big headache. General Lei Chenghu has been investigating the candidates for the new emperor recently, and he has dragged me there for many times. The result is really unsatisfactory."

Lee Yao is also a powerful figure in the Empire. Apart from the support of the Xingyao Federation, he is a serious "king of the black wind", supported by the joint fleet of arsonists, the number one meritorious official who saved the imperial capital, and a very powerful contender for "the strongest fighter of the Empire". Even if the combat power is not the first, at least the top three and top five can be fought, Even if it doesn't help, it won't fall out of the top ten.

Looking at the whole empire as a whole, Lei Chenghu, the "God of war", can still compete with him. The rest of the small and medium warlords have no rivals at all.

Therefore, today's Li Yao does not choose an emperor or a marquis, it is better than choosing an emperor or marquis. Whether Li Linghai, the old leader of the reformists, or Lei Chenghu, the new leader of the reformers, wants to choose a new emperor, they have to respect his opinions.

However, after thousands of years of willful indulgence and distortion, the royal family has already become a barren wasteland. The new generation of royal family growing up here is not only "good and bad", but also a bunch of crooked melons and dates.

"I didn't have much opinion on the selection of the emperor. I have told general Lei Chenghu several times that this is an internal affair of the Empire. I am embarrassed in my position. If I interfere rashly, it's easy to leave a statement."

Li Yao sighed and frowned slightly. "However, those candidates are not decent. They don't even have a good appearance. They are either hawkish or aggressive. They don't match their strength and ambition, and they don't have a clear mind. In a word, they are" less successful than defeated. "!

"You know, even if it's just a puppet, it should have the self-cultivation of a puppet. I really don't care who is the emperor. I just hope that a guy with a clear mind, a long-term vision and a simple truth like" there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests "can put aside the differences between the cultivation of truth and the cultivation of immortals, Hold your nose to communicate and cooperate - but you can't find such a simple request! "

Li Jialing laughed: "it seems that brother Yao is really dissatisfied with those candidates?"

"More than discontent?"

Li Yaodao said, "I helped general Lei Chenghu design a few small test links, and tried out the ambitions of those guys all at once. Those guys really have too deep hostility to the practitioners, and they want to eat the arsonists' United Fleet and Xingyao Federation in the next second!

"I'm not saying that the Imperial Emperor can't be hostile to the Xingyao Federation, but you have to consider your own strength and distinguish the enemy's priority? Now that the four families are not destroyed, and the main force of the holy alliance is not coming out, you are anxious to slaughter the meritorious officials, wash out all the practitioners, swallow up the arsonists and the United Fleet, and then go to the Federation in the Xinghai border? This is not the way to seek death!

"If these guys can be a little bit tolerant, even if they can wait for the settlement of the four families and the holy alliance, and then use a knife against the practitioners, I still have a slightly higher evaluation of them. Now, let alone me, even general Lei Chenghu is extremely dissatisfied."

"Yes, I accompany her royal highness in the hospital these days. I often see general Lei come to her to discuss the selection of a new monarch, and I often hear him complain."

Li Jialing smiles and says, "in fact, general Lei attaches more importance to the selection of a new king than brother Yao. He never wants to just choose a new puppet."

"Oh?"

Li Yaowei was stunned. He couldn't help laughing and said, "don't be a puppet. Does Lei Chenghu still want to get a" Mingjun "

"General Ray does think so."

Li Jialing nodded, "general Lei thought that the source of the Empire's decline in the past few hundred years was the weakness of the monarch, while the powerful officials were too strong to form effective checks and balances.

"If the reformists choose a new puppet now, what's the difference between them and the puppets of the four families? Where are the so-called innovators?

"Yes, when general Lei Chenghu and her royal highness are here, they can suppress warlords from all sides with their iron fisted means and high prestige to ensure that the concept of innovation remains unchanged. However, general Lei is old after all, and may fall in a hundred years. However, her Royal Highness has lost all her power now. Whether she can be transformed into a ghost repair is unknown. They can't keep the puppet forever.

"If one day, general Lei and his Royal Highness the queen will fall one after another, and the new generation of warlords will be full of wings, how will the puppet emperor get along with himself? Even if the reformists defeated the four families at that time, wouldn't they transform into a new generation of four families? "

Li Jialing's words made Li Yao revere Lei Chenghu: "that's right. General Lei Chenghu thinks long-term. No matter whether I am an enemy or a friend with him, I have to admit that he is the purest soldier who never seeks personal interests, devotes himself to the country and works hard!

"But then again, it's good to have a clear minded Mingjun instead of a puppet. But Mingjun is not a leek in the field. How can it be so easy to find? These days, general Lei Chenghu has dug up all the imperial clans on the Celestial Star. I've read all the information in those books. There are really few people who can make do with it. It's impossible to find some three or five-year-old children to cultivate them into "Mingjun" in decades? No, according to the strict standard of general Lei Chenghu, it is estimated that the training should start from the womb to meet his requirements. Ha ha ha ha

Li yaogan laughed a few times, but Li Jialing didn't respond. The atmosphere was awkward and strange.

"No, why do you want to talk to me about this?"

Li Yao felt that Li Jialing's expression was a little strange. He looked up and took a mouthful of fortified medicine, and said, "it's better to leave the matter of choosing the emperor to her royal highness and general Lei Chenghu. What important things do you want to say to me? Do you still have to get my support?"

"Brother Yao"

After a long silence, Li Jialing finally made up her mind, summoned up her courage, took a deep breath, and said, "if general Lei Chenghu and her Royal Highness the queen both agree that I will become the new emperor of the Empire, will you support me?"

"Poof!"

Li Yao sprayed a mouthful of fortified medicine on the opposite wall, then coughed loudly. He coughed out of breath and even coughed up tears. "Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough. Are you kidding? Keke Keke, are you wrong, or am I wrong, or are Li Linghai and Lei Chenghu out of their heads? You, the emperor? You are not royal at all, and you are not Wu Ying! "

"It's a small thing."

Li Jialing's face was expressionless and said, "brother Yao doesn't think that general Lei Chenghu is the kind of stupid and loyal person who has to kneel down at the foot of the Wuying people, does he? Today's empire is no longer an empire with one family name. General Lei is loyal to the Empire belonging to all mankind, not to Wu Yingqi and his descendants.

"Of course, for the vast majority of the imperial people, it's certainly impossible to accept an emperor of different surnames for the time being. It doesn't matter. I was a nobody and not many people knew my real origin.

"I'm not only the flesh and blood of her royal highness, but also her royal highness, the God of war Lei Chenghu and brother Yao, you are the" king of black wind ", proving that I was the 13th son of the former Emperor. In order to escape the palace struggle, the invasion of Demons and the assassination of holy alliance, I secretly sent out of the palace, grew up in the Li family, and now return to the imperial capital, What's wrong with the dragon's rule over heaven? "
