After receiving Tiryen's affirmative answer, Soshyan was actually even more disgusted with the empire's bloated and growing bureaucratic system. Although the other party was eloquent and seemed to have his own set of logic, he would never make the empire better. But he also had to admit that he was indeed wrong in judging people by his appearance.
The other party's thinking is far more capable than the appearance, and his soberness and agility are also the most powerful mortal that Soshiyan has seen so far. You should know that he rarely falls at a disadvantage in language confrontations, but today the imperial prime minister undoubtedly convinced him in fact.
What's more, he really didn't want Faisal to die. No matter what, the other party had already cooperated very well without causing any trouble for himself during the expedition.
"Since the most core thing has been solved, the next thing is about how you enter the city."
As he said that, Tirien took a leather folder from his female companion's hand and handed it to Soshiyan.
"Look, this is the city entrance ceremony designed by the State Council. What needs to be supplemented?"
After taking it, Soshiyan opened it and saw that the entire process was designed in detail, and even specially equipped with a topographic map around the palace.
First of all, the team of the Astral Knights will enter from the Lion Gate Airport, and the staffing can even be arranged by Soshiyan himself, but it is recommended to be controlled within one thousand people. In addition, the Imperial Fist will also participate in this triumphal ceremony.
The Lions Gate Airport is a long parade, which was once called the Hero Road, a 10-kilometer corridor that will pass through the City of Wishers, which is the only area where citizens of the Empire have the opportunity to visit. After that, the team will pass through the Dorn Fortress, the Bone Column and the Honorary Column of the Battle of Terra.
Finally, the team will arrive in front of the Eternal Gate Hall, where a ceremony will be held, that is, the royal flag ceremony, and a battle flag of the Astral Knight will be awarded the honor of hanging on both sides of the gate.
At this point, the parade is over, and then Soshiyan needs to enter the outer hall of the palace through a smaller door through the side door and go to the Senate to receive praise.
In addition, during the parade, Soshiyan will also get a huge and gorgeous gift car, and his images will be played to all cities in Terra in real time. I have to say that it is very considerate.
"Well, there's no problem, but I have some extra small process here..."
Then Soshiyan spoke his thoughts, and after hearing this, Tirien looked a little surprised.
"That's how it sounds pretty good, I can convince others for you."
"That's great thanks to Prime Minister Tirien."
As he said that, Soshyang paused, and then said warmly:
"Although it is difficult for me to agree with some of your views, your willingness to come to me personally means that you are at least someone who wants to solve the problem."
Tirien waved his hand with a smile.
"Normal, normal, in fact, I'm already surprised that you can tell me so much so gently. I know what the Space Marines are all about. Actually, I'm a little scared, afraid that if you get excited, you will kick me out of space like a ball."
"Ha, you are so humorous. No matter how angry I am, I will never be able to do this."
As he said that, Soshiyang pointed to the plan.
"That's right, you arranged this, right?"
As a result, the other party shook his head.
"Not all... do you still think that the lords are all people with corpses and food?"
Soshyan smiled bitterly.
"It's not that I think, but what happened during the expedition and what I've witnessed over the years of service, it's hard to believe that... Any good thing will be related to them. Although the matter of the Mantis Warriors has been resolved, I remember their backlash. You are you, they are them."
Tirien shook her head with a smile.
"Captain of Soshiyang, I have also served the empire for hundreds of years, and have witnessed with my own eyes how death and intrigues have changed the high lords. Although I sometimes think that most of them are mentally abnormal in strict sense, I also know that they are actually dragons among humans. You must have doubts about this? You think that these high lords who influence the direction of the entire empire are just a group of mobs, and will always fight for their own interests. But if you think about it carefully, they only have twelve people. Think about what this means? Nowadays, the number of human beings exceeds that of any past era.
After losing His guidance on the throne, it was these twelve people who guided us, a greedy and fertile race... There are always some mediocre people who may have such fantasies: the high lords are stupid, dull, and idle. If they can one day reach the top and give orders to the entire empire in golden seats, they will definitely do better. But I can tell you how stupid these ideas are. I have served more than one high lord council. I can tell you without hesitation that although they have all kinds of flaws, they are undoubtedly the best of us."
After listening, Soshyan fell into deep thought, and Tirien's words did open another door.
"I can also understand that what you feel during the war, the slow decision-making process on Terra is like a bottomless abyss, which makes people feel both meaningless and frustrated. For ten thousand years, the operation of the imperial decision-making body has become increasingly slower and slower. This is a fact, because the situation will only become more and more complicated, and the pressure on each high lord is getting greater and greater. They must be careful to deal with every alien invasion so that it will no longer expand, patiently measure the power needed in all endless wars, suppress the almost crazy needs of the Inquisition, and the dark actions of the semi-independent Assassin Court bind the power of the State Church. They must use their will to resist every report caused by endless riots, civil wars, fanaticism and foolishness."
As he said that, he sighed softly.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "The Emperor is merciful, the commander of the Battle of Soshiyang, if you have some understanding of the history of the empire, you should be able to understand that the empire was not established for rule from the beginning, everything was for conquest and oppression, it was created for the great expedition. The empire is not so much a country as a war machine, built by the Emperor and His great sons. It has not been prepared to continue to operate in a more peaceful era. In theory, it will not always be like this. This war machine should eventually be
The sword was cast as a plow, but... everything was interrupted as the emperor entered the throne. How should the Empire, the war machine, stop, how should it operate without the emperor, and how should it exist after the echo of the Great Expedition disappear? No one knows, no one can give an answer. He can only rely on the limited wisdom and mind of generations of high lords to try to maintain and repair this relics that lived in the Great Expedition era. Just like this mountain formation, even if generations of imperial fists tried their best, it could not stop its destruction. This should not be something that the mortal brain could bear, and human power would be exhausted."
Soshiyang, who had been silent before, suddenly said something after the other party finished speaking.
"If a Primarch returns to the Empire, will everything change?"
Tirien frowned slightly, turned his head and thought for a moment before answering cautiously:
"It depends on who it is, but no matter what, the blood from the Emperor of the Primrose determines their undisputable power. Only such power can pry the ruined machine of the Empire and replace its parts."
Then Tirien saw Soshiyan smile for the first time, but with a bitter smile. He lowered his head slightly, as if muttering to himself.
"Yes, that's true..."
Almost in a flash, these expressions disappeared from his face again.
"Prime Minister Tirien, I want to know who proposed to initiate this expedition?"
"At the beginning, Cleopatra Less, the representative of the Inquisition, he received support from Pope Bardo Sleicester and the representative of the ronin, Cania Danda. Under the joint lobbying of the three, others also agreed to the plan for this expedition..."
"strangeness..."
"It feels strange, right? A small political group that doesn't seem to be relevant suddenly pushed an expedition and asked you to come by name."
Tyrion looked gloomy when talking about Terra's politics.
"When I learned about this, I was also confused, because it was abnormal and illogical, but the more this was the case, the more it showed that there was a lot of articles in it. My keen eyes told me that there was a force that was secretly pushing this matter, which could even allow several high lords to go beyond the boundaries and unite together... Generally speaking, I would investigate the inside story of some abnormal political storms, because this may often represent the prelude to a political tsunami, such as the riot in the Assassin Court thousands of years ago. My duty was to prevent this from happening again. However, my investigation was interrupted because I smelled the danger. This force may come from within the palace, and may even be related to the imperial guards. Commander of the Soshiyang War, do you have any clues about this?"
Soshiyang pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, I'm just performing a duty as Astarte."
Tirien looked at him and said nothing, but Soshiyan could read four words from the other person's eyes—
You are lying.
