"Your Majesty, the old prince wants to see you."
At this time, a female officer hurriedly walked in from outside the imperial study room.
"Invite him in."
Soon.
King Zhennan strode into the Imperial Study Room, "Your Majesty, Yang Lin, is here to see you. Your Majesty will live forever."
"Uncle Emperor, what do you want from me?"
Yang Yu looked at Zhennan King Yang Lin in confusion, his uncle, his father's younger brother, and the person who supported him the most.
Therefore, he also respected this imperial uncle.
He was not deprived of his throne.
The female officer next to her personally moved a stool for the old prince.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to ask for your resignation."
After Yang Lin sat down, he explained his purpose.
"Do I treat your uncle well?"
Hearing this, he asked himself inwardly, what did he do to make the imperial uncle dissatisfied?
"No, I am already in my seventies, and my energy is not as strong as when I was young. I still ask for your Majesty's permission."
Yang Lin looked serious.
He is old and it is time to abdicate.
Yang Yu looked at King Zhennan in front of him, his expression not to mention complicated.
This veteran is a truly famous general in the Kingdom of Stars. He has fought in all his life without ever losing a single victory.
Retired at this time.
It was a huge loss to the empire, but the emperor's uncle was already sixty-nine this year.
At a nearly seventy-year-old age, it was already the best reward for him to conquer the Eastern Wasteland, a continent with at least 30 million square kilometers, for the Kingdom of Stars.
"Uncle Emperor, I'm afraid I cannot agree to your request."
Yang Yu shook his head, "The empire has just unified the world, and the Eastern Barren has only been pacified for less than a month. Uncle Wang has abdicated. Who will suppress the unstable Eastern Barren Continent? The 1.2 million army, just send any general there, Can you convince the public?"
"This... is due to the veteran's lack of consideration. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yang Lin, the king of Zhennan, had a complicated expression. If he retreated, who could command the 1.2 million army except His Majesty himself?
The generals he trained may not be able to stabilize the million-strong army, and His Majesty may also be suspicious...
"Don't let me do this. Hurry back to the Eastern Wasteland, bring the appropriate officials, and go to rectify the Eastern Wasteland. Any forces that try to provoke the laws of the empire will be caught and destroyed at all costs."
Yang Yu said: "Especially the royal families and nobles of those countries."
"I accept the order, but I have a request, and I would like your Majesty's approval."
"Uncle, please speak."
"If the old minister unfortunately dies in the Eastern Wasteland, your Majesty, please scatter the old minister's ashes on the territory of the empire. There is no need to bury him in the ground, which is a waste of the empire's resources."
"I was born as a member of the Star Empire, and when I die, I am also a ghost of the Star Empire,"
As soon as King Zhennan said these words, Yang Yu stood in awe.
The female officer beside him looked at King Zhennan with disbelief, and she was also in awe at this moment.
"I'm sure."
Yang Yu nodded solemnly.
"Thank you for your grace, I will retire."
Yang Lin, the king of Zhennan, left.
Looking at his leaving figure, Yang Yu knew very well that once the veteran left, he might never see him again.
"It is hereby issued that for those who embezzle less than one million yuan, the offender will be punished by death, and the whole clan will be sentenced to twenty years in prison. The sentence will not be reduced in any way. The descendants will never be employed for three generations."
"Anyone who embezzles more than one million yuan will be sentenced to death. The entire family will serve a sentence of labor reform until death. If they have a significant role in promoting the development of the empire, they can be pardoned."
"Anyone who embezzles more than 10 million yuan will be wiped out."
Yang Yu's cold voice resounded throughout the imperial study.
If this empire wants to develop, it must bleed.
"Your Majesty, what about more than 100 million?"
The female officer couldn't help but interject.
"Destroy the ten clans." He turned to look at the female officer next to him, and you reminded me.
Female officer:......
Am I talking too much?
…
The reform of the Star Empire began with great vigor.
The millions of troops outside the imperial capital marched into the imperial capital with an order and began to confiscate and exterminate the families and officials who were corrupt and violated the law.
Many corrupt officials, families, and businessmen had been trampled down by countless armies before they could transfer their assets.
Countless gold, silver and jewels were all added to the national treasury.
Along with the reform, heads were being killed and blood was flowing throughout the imperial capital.
Some businessmen even want to unite to put pressure on the emperor, but everyone in Congyin knows the price to pay for going against the imperial power.
There are even people who want to unite the remnants of those countries to rebel.
But they found that no one in Central Continent was willing to risk their heads to rebel against them.
What are the people thinking?
Have a full meal.
They will follow anyone who can keep them fed.
Under the emperor's rule, I can have enough to eat, and occasionally buy new clothes for my family and children at home, and send my children to school. Why should I follow him to rebel?
And the emperor did not confiscate his family and exterminate his family without reason.
Every time a house is raided, the crime committed by that house will be publicized. Who will follow and rebel without any problem, right?
This time, the reforms coming from the imperial capital directly increased last year's revenue for the treasury.
Many construction projects and research and development projects have been launched vigorously with the investment of this capital.
In just one year, the Engineering Academy, which was transformed from the Ministry of Industry, had developed a steam engine.
It was announced that the Star Empire had officially entered the first industrial era.
…
Merlot Heaven.
royal palace.
The three angels and Yan who had gone round and round before returning to the Melo Heavenly Palace stood in the main hall, looking at Kesha on the throne, reporting on the gains of their trip.
"Queen Kesha, ninety-nine percent of Wenyin are in the primitive Iron Age. We are already guiding them to the industrial age. It is expected that in a thousand years, they will be able to move to the industrial age so that they can survive better. .”
Angel Yan hesitated, "It's just that in the Payne River system, we found a Wenyin without the guidance of angels, but it has already begun to move towards the industrial age..."
"Discovered a Wenyin who is heading towards the industrial age?"
Holy Kesha listened to Yan's report with surprise in her eyes. On a planet without angel guidance, she discovered a Wenyin who independently moved towards the industrial age?
Could this be a planet with intelligent life that was just discovered?
"Yes, their monarch is very great. In the twenty years since he took the throne, he has guided a small country in the border corner into a huge empire that dominates the entire planet."
"It's hard for me to imagine how they rose up step by step and then dominated an entire planet in an era when transportation was not developed and communications basically relied on messengers."
"After observation, they do not believe in angels or anyone, they only believe in the monarch who leads them to a powerful life. In their philosophy, they believe that their monarch can lead them to a happier life."
"Moreover, this Wenyin monarch did not fool his subjects, but spent money everywhere to build schools to educate his subjects."
There was shock in Angel Yan's eyes. Thinking from his perspective, she had advanced knowledge and it was unlikely that she could reach that level.
But that monarch did.
Hear the words.
Kesha and Hexi looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes.
What kind of monarch is this?
They have traveled across the universe for more than 20,000 years, and the monarchs they have seen always fool the people, which is helpful to their rule.
But the monarch in Yan's mouth is a bit contrary to that.
Aren't you afraid that after swaying the people and enlightening their wisdom, they will oppose his rule?
"Oh? Doesn't this monarch have any shortcomings?" He Xi has not retired yet and is still Kesha's right-wing guard, and asked with a smile.
"Weaknesses? Lecherous and murderous?"
Angel Yan thought for a while, and it seemed that these were his two shortcomings.
"Why is he so lustful? And what kind of murderer is he?"
Kesha, Hexi and left wing guard Ruoning were interested.
They are all old monsters that have been around for tens of thousands of years. What scene have they not seen before?
"He asked Sister Yan to be his queen. What did he say? If he asked Sister Yan to be his queen, he believed in angels."
"The generals under his command massacred the city, destroyed the country, and trapped and killed prisoners. All of them were written with his tacit approval."
Moi was very angry when he thought about this.
"Lustful, this is an unavoidable problem for every man. Besides, Yan is so beautiful, isn't it quite normal for someone to want to marry her? If he is not interested, I think there is something wrong with that monarch's orientation. .”
"Which great monarch would not trample the corpses of his enemies under his feet?"
Ruoning couldn't help but laugh. Didn't she get to where she is now by stepping on the corpses of countless demons?
A young man like Moi, who has not experienced too many wars, is still too immature after all.
