Chapter 203 A Dream of Huang Liang
Chapter 203 Huang Liang Yi Meng
"My Emperor, the Imperial Guard fleet has been destroyed, they cannot launch an attack..."
Hearing the "general's" careful answer, the emperor smiled instead of getting angry, as if he had heard something interesting.
"My dear, you are really good at joking. My Imperial Guard fleet has no rival in the entire galaxy. Don't you see that even the famous 'Guardian' needs to avoid its edge?"
"..." His Majesty the Emperor's sworn words made everyone else present look at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.
In their perception, His Majesty the Emperor is a wise, omniscient, omniscient, strategizing, and perfect figure who can win thousands of miles away. How could he not even know that the Imperial Guard Fleet was destroyed?
"Where did you guys learn how to tell jokes, so you came here to show them to me? If that's the case, then you guys are already qualified, and I can give you the honorary title of 'Performing Master'..."
The emperor was still talking and had even thought about the palace positions that would be given to them in the future.
Such a confident performance made the "generals" who reported on the work wonder whether their memory was wrong.
Could it be that the Guards Fleet was really not destroyed and that the news and images circulating in society are actually false and were created for a certain purpose of public opinion?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
For those nobles, it doesn't matter whether they are a member of the empire or not. As long as it can satisfy their desire for pleasure, it doesn't matter where they are.
The arrival of the "Guardian" became the opportunity to burst the empty shell.
At this moment, the emperor, who did not know all this and was still dreaming of the "ruler of the universe", was chatting and laughing with the "generals" around him.
They are also the worms of the empire, they are the ones who brainwash the lower classes, squeeze their vassals, conquer wantonly, and indulge in pleasure.
The stupid emperor himself became the victim of lies, and in the secretly mocking eyes of the nobles, he became the last full stop in the history of civilization.
The bad premonition suddenly reached its peak in the emperor's heart.
As if the signal had been interfered with, the "image" of the entire sky became blurred, flickering, as if it was about to dissipate immediately.
In the end, everyone from the emperor to the bottom of the nobility tacitly ignored this matter.
Just when he was thinking about why the minister who always liked him had not returned yet, he, who was in good health, seemed to notice that the clear sky suddenly appeared a little distorted.
"It is said that I am only one step away from being crowned the 'Emperor of the Star Sea Empire'?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Even if there are any instigators who want to try to trigger a "lower class uprising", I believe that the instigators will be directly beaten to death by the fanatical "lower classes" before that time comes.
Or is it that their great emperor actually has a hidden fleet of guards, and those eliminated by the "guardians" are actually just the tip of his iceberg?
No matter what kind of speculation it is, it will only make these "generals" more fanatical.
"Have you guys seen "Yes, Your Majesty" filmed by the comedian? It really made me laugh..."
They followed the empire forward in the star sea, and as the empire rose and fell, it can be said that their family history is the civilization history of the empire.
This is a group of intricately colluded interests. When the "Empire of Conquerors" was still an indigenous civilization and had not yet established a foothold in space, these powerful people had formed enough ties with the emperor.
The powerful people are keenly aware of the coming of the end and have made full preparations. In another place, they will be the masters again.
This is a more thorough brainwashing than "mind control" achieved through psychic energy, after all, their cognition has been completely distorted.
The ruling class of the "Conqueror Empire" also have the same mentality. The destruction of the empire will not happen for at least three generations, or even ten generations, so even if they know very well that it is not necessary to continue like this, they are completely indifferent.
The destruction of civilization should be a long process, but the "Empire of Conquerors" was actually dead the moment the tumor failed to be removed. What seems to be beautiful now is just an empty shell of civilization, which will collapse if it is poked.
Just as some among the indigenous people disdain the protection of the planet's ecology, because the disaster caused by the destruction of the environment will not fall on their generation, they will make use of it for the sake of current development with peace of mind.
Therefore, before enough time passed, this civilization fell into "degeneration."
There were many talented and strategic emperors in the empire who set out to remove this piece of "carrion", but they were like tumors that coexisted with the empire, deeply attached to the bone marrow.
At this time, the "Empire of Conquerors" was still young, and technology was far from reaching its end. It was clear that many things had not been pursued to the extreme, and they had fallen into hedonism early.
They are the real backbone of the empire. They are the ones who develop technology, expand territories, explore alien planets, and control production.
This kind of civilization without cohesion cannot go far at all, and its destruction is just a lack of an opportunity.
The emperor, who should be the "progressor", and the top dignitaries were the first to degenerate, leading to the degeneration of the entire civilization. The prevailing entertainment culture and the neglected cultural heritage also made the sense of belonging increasingly weak.
The content of the chat was without any nutrition. These so-called "generals" who were chased by the powerful were not very well-educated. Apart from nodding in agreement, they could not even say a word of flattery, which also made the emperor a little boring.
This is the bottom layer of the "Conqueror Empire", a group of true "lovers" of the empire. Even if this is a distorted love, it has indeed maintained that the empire has not collapsed at least on the surface.
Even if the upper class headed by the emperor squeezed out 99% of their blood and sweat, these "lower people" who had been nurtured since birth and underwent genetic modification and spiritual castration were the most loyal admirers of the emperor himself.
The empire can continue to exist without surgery, but once surgery is performed, the empire will only fail if it fails, and even if it succeeds, its vitality will be severely damaged, and it will never be as glorious as before.
What still drives them to "loyalty" to the empire is just enough wealth.
——In the sky covered with dark clouds, countless "Guardian" spacecraft are passing rapidly, as if they are scanning everything on the planet.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
However, as the ruling class of the empire - the nobles, they don't have so many emotions.
Before he could think about it carefully, the giant projection equipment that had weaved the emperor's last wonderful dream completely stopped working, allowing the emperor to see the cruel reality.
The conquest by force brought them enough wealth to squander, and a large number of tributary civilizations and vassal civilizations provided them with seemingly inexhaustible resources like bank interest.
And through the gaps in the clouds, you can also see a larger spacecraft slowly sailing away. It only carries a giant cannon, but you can feel the power from it that can destroy the planet.
They are all "lower people" who were pulled up from the lower class for some purpose. Compared with the real nobles who have their own thoughts, they are "shaped fanatics".
No matter which choice was made, it would have unacceptable consequences for the empire, which had numerous enemies at the time.
"The financial situation has improved in recent years~"
The emperor recognized that this was the "Colossus", a warship specially equipped with star-destroying weapons.
There were empires in the past, but during the birthday ceremony of a certain emperor in history, the empire's colossus was sold to other civilizations to raise funds for the celebration.
The target of this "Colossus" is not this planet, it is just passing here, but how could this kind of warship come to his "courtyard" without him knowing it at all?
So the emperor froze on the spot. He finally understood that he had been deceived by everyone around him.
