Mr. Yang, a prison inmate, was walking in the splendid palace with his hands behind his back.
Wherever he passed, he saw the officers and soldiers of the royal guard standing at attention and saluting, as well as the palace maids who couldn't help but take a peek when they bowed.
In front of the emperor's palace, the number of mechanical guards doubled.
What the old emperor didn't know was that the system of these mechanical guards was very old;
It was Yang Ming who let Lu invade and take control of these mechanical guards and put some patches on them, thus successfully avoiding being exploited by other forces.
——He was heartbroken for the most noble man in this country.
"Lord Viscount, please come in."
The maid pushed open the door of the bedroom with some effort. Yang Ming looked from a distance and saw the old emperor reclining on the throne with a gloomy expression.
This omnimachine seems to have accumulated a lot of negative emotions.
Yang Ming couldn't help but picture Princess Dana being thrown on the bed by the old emperor.
That thing really breaks through the ethical bottom line of normal human beings.
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming saluted the old emperor.
"They will actually sentence you," the old emperor said coldly, "just because you ordered the fire and defeated the New Federation's fleet, they will sentence you!"
Yang Ming: It’s already been half a month!
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming whispered, "this matter actually complies with military procedures."
"Don't you blame them?" The old emperor's eyes were a bit sharp.
Yang Ming smiled calmly: "The moment I gave the order to fire, the worst outcome I thought of was to be shot dead. I disobeyed orders on the battlefield, took the initiative to attack, and passively dragged our fleet into the war. This was the result of being shot several times.
It is not a sin worth overdoing."
"Really?" The old emperor frowned slightly, as if he didn't get the result he wanted.
Yang Ming changed the subject: "If it weren't for the fact that I was sent there by the Royal Guards, and with your intimidating power, it would definitely not be a simple half-year imprisonment."
The old emperor's breathing suddenly became much easier.
He stood up barefoot, his loose robe swaying slightly.
It was the familiar chat mode again. The old emperor took Yang Ming and talked while walking. The content ranged from literature to philosophy, from the starry sky to human nature. It took half an hour to get to the topic.
"I will pardon you," the old emperor said warmly, "I am deeply gratified by your courage and your loyalty to the royal family. With your help, Edwang will be able to regain control of the military soon."
Yang Ming immediately said:
"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you now. Edwan is just a prince after all, and he respects you and obeys you.
"Also, please think twice about the pardon, otherwise I will be under greater pressure in the military, and those generals may be eager to assassinate me.
"They have gone too far."
"Yes," the old emperor narrowed his eyes, "The Minister of Defense was poisoned and the First Fleet almost lost control. It bypassed the royal family and directly contacted the Sherman Empire. They no longer take this royal family seriously.
.”
Yang Ming sighed: "This is a disease accumulated over the past few decades, and it is very difficult to recover."
"Viscount Yang Ming, I actually have high hopes for you," the old emperor said warmly, "From now on it will be your and Edwang's era, and I will use the royal family's resources to train you. I heard them say that you are now in the military.
It's very prestigious among the Young People's sect."
"It's because I ordered the fire, and everyone was in a very depressed mood at that time."
Yang Ming sighed:
"Your Majesty, you can actually believe that in this army, the vast majority of soldiers and low-level officers have the ideological consciousness to be loyal to the country.
"When the New Federation's fleet attacked civilians, I could feel that the atmosphere in the entire star cruiser became depressing, and everyone wanted to go up and fight the New Federation's invincible fleet.
"In fact, before giving the order to fire, I asked the officers and soldiers on the Emig cruiser to take a vote. Ninety percent of them chose to fight, five percent did not make a choice, and only 100 percent chose to fight.
The fifth is officers who are afraid of taking responsibility."
The old emperor nodded slowly, and he suddenly asked: "So, when the New Federation attacked the palace, how did the soldiers react?"
"Indifferent."
Yang Ming said softly, and the old emperor frowned tightly.
"Indifferent?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp color, and he said slowly:
"Maybe in the eyes of His Majesty, the imperial power is supreme, but in the eyes of the people, Luofeng Imperial Power is nothing more than a puppet of the Sherman Empire. They are not afraid of the imperial power, but they are afraid of the generals who control the fleet.
"Under the imperial system, power is realized from top to bottom, but when the people feel that the royal family does not have the ability to lead them, this power will have nowhere to delegate.
"The army is even more like this. The only thing the royal family can control is these tens of thousands of guards..."
"enough!"
The old emperor suddenly roared, his eyes seeming to spit out flames: "It is the imperial power that shaped this country!"
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming frowned slightly, "it is the people who have shaped this country."
"Without the Moon Clan's expansion of territory, where would Luo Feng come from?"
"Before the founding emperor of the Luofeng Empire, the former Grand Duke of the Sherman Empire, led his private fleet to capture these administrative stars, there were other political systems here."
Yang Ming said calmly:
"Before the royal family demands the loyalty of its subjects, shouldn't it reflect on what kind of protection the royal family can bring to this country?
"Your Majesty, the biggest problem in this country right now is the royal family.
"If the royal family was strong enough and commanded the three armies, the people would spontaneously salute you; but now, if your motorcade leaves the palace, the people will bow to you only because of the pressure from the escort.
"Lowering your head is just a concession, not a salute."
The old emperor took half a step back and stared at Yang Ming: "Viscount Yang Ming, do you know what you are talking about?"
"I am awake, Your Majesty."
Yang Ming smiled and said:
"You can extend my sentence just because of your personal emotions.
"When I gave the order to open fire on those Federation veterans, I had already made a decision.
"I will help Edwang because I am friends with Edwang and this country needs a monarch who understands economics to revitalize the economy.
"But from now on, I will only be responsible for the safety of the people of this country to fulfill my duties as a soldier.
"Also, before you angrily make the decision to extend my sentence, you may want to consider my current prestige among the young men in the army."
The old emperor suddenly raised his left hand, and the anger on his face could not be concealed at all. It seemed to be strangling Yang Ming's neck.
But when it raised its hand to grab Yang Ming, its movements suddenly became sluggish.
It covered its heart and staggered back two steps.
Yang Ming turned to look at the maid aside and said slowly: "Your Majesty is feeling unwell, why don't you come over and give him some help?"
The maids hurried forward, and the old emperor drove them away with a low roar.
"May I excuse myself, Your Majesty?"
Yang Ming asked softly: "If it's any later, I'll miss the prison meal."
"You! You traitor! You will never get out of that prison!"
Yang Ming nodded with a smile, gave a military salute to the old emperor, turned and walked towards the door.
The old emperor kept shouting.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
The mechanical guard outside the door remained motionless.
The eyes of the two rows of escorts were hesitant;
But the commands coming from their earphones made them understand that what they had to do at this moment was just to stand still and watch.
On the way back to prison, Yang Ming sent Lu a text message.
"I suggest that the old emperor extend my sentence to ensure that I can stay in prison for a longer period of time."
Lu's reply quickly popped up on the watch.
"The old emperor wanted to change your sentence to indefinite imprisonment, but the boss, Adwang, rushed to the palace and met with the minister
Together we are contradicting the old emperor."
pretty.
Yang Ming rubbed his eyebrows. He finally made up his mind and wanted to use the old omnic emperor to disappear for a while.
After all, I still overestimated the upper limit of this omnimachine.
Do you want Edwan to know that the old emperor is an omnic?
Yang Ming thought carefully.
No matter from which angle, it will not be beneficial for Edwan to know the truth of this matter.
The old emperor doesn't have two years left to live.
Princess Diana is plotting to reboot this old bastard.
The Sherman Empire's Foreign Affairs Bureau has already recognized that Edwan is the helmsman of the Luofeng royal family, and is ready to promote Edwan to the position of crown prince.
If Edwan learns of this, he will easily turn against the Sherman Empire, which will not be conducive to his future development.
——Having Edwan take control of the political situation can reassure the Sherman Empire. Luofeng urgently needs the Sherman Empire's protection at this stage.
"Don't tell him," Yang Ming sighed softly in his heart.
Suddenly, noisy voices came from outside the car window.
Yang Ming pointed to the window, and the prison guard on the side quickly removed the projection wall on the car window.
A group of young men and women, who must be students and workers, held up banners that read, "The New Federation must make war reparations," "Seek justice for the dead compatriots," "Resolutely oppose the war of invasion," and "The New Federation's liberal democracy is bullshit."
Projected signs waiting for slogans surged forward on the sidewalk.
Yang Ming wondered: "Are they going to demonstrate in front of the palace?"
"Yes, sir, many students and workers are protesting these days, feeling that the royal family's attitude is too weak."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "This country finally has a little more vitality."
"That's it...that, can you sign it for me?"
The prison guard asked quietly.
Seeing that Yang Ming was a little confused, the prison guard quickly said:
"My son and I are both your fans, captain of the Emig!
"I know that the royal family is suppressing this news and has erased all your information from the Internet, but I want to say that you are a hero who has guarded the last shred of dignity in this country.
"May I?"
"Of course," Yang Ming's smile was a little awkward, "Where to sign?"
The prison guard excitedly handed the laser gun to the young colleague next to him and lifted up the combat uniform with the shield generator, revealing...
Snow white belly.
…
That night, Adwang hurriedly came to find Yang Ming.
"You shouldn't anger him, Ming," Edwan sighed. "There are too many things to be busy with now. I also spent three hours trying to calm the emotions of the elderly at home."
Yang Ming, who was playing with the fitness equipment, could only curl his lips and shrug.
"Edwan, don't you think that His Majesty the Emperor is too confident now?"
"That's the way he is."
"What he wants to do most right now is to kill some powerful generals in the military," Yang Ming scolded. "If I don't anger him, he will definitely give this task to me, which will put the national defense system in a state of decline.
Total collapse."
Edwan sighed dejectedly, sat on the comfortable sofa nearby, and looked at the surrounding layout.
The lowest space of this prison now belongs to Yang Ming.
A 50-square-meter luxury gym, a master bedroom seating area covered with soft carpets, a video room equipped with 16 stereos... There is even a 25-meter-long "above-ground swimming pool" in the corner.
Adwang shook his head: "Okay, you handled it without any problem, but we seem to have completely ignored my father without knowing it."
"You are more suitable for that position than him," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know your character and will not take action against the old emperor. Have you seen the video I gave you? In which hospital will your brother be treated?
In his later years, he will not be treated badly in any way."
Edwang frowned tightly: "Ming, can you tell me the truth? Leon
General, he..."
"my people."
"how did you do that?"
"This is a trade secret."
"Oh! You!" Edwang rubbed his forehead.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Next, I'm going to the New Federation. There will be a bionic robot placed here...it's the one covered with cloth in the corner."
"What are you doing in the New Federation?"
Yang Ming said seriously: "Learn advanced production technology and improve Luofeng's technological competitiveness."
Adwang scolded: "I thought you were going to abandon this mess like Luo Feng and go there to find Miss Windsor to renew your relationship! This is too risky."
"I can do a little disguise, don't worry," Yang Ming said slowly, "The New Federation has several technologies that I want to get as soon as possible. I will share them with you when the time comes, and it will be considered as a reward for helping me cover up.
"
"You have done a lot for this country, there is no need to bear this kind of pressure," Edwan said sternly, "What kind of technology do you need? Maybe we can get it from other places."
"As I said, this is a trade secret."
Yang Ming blinked.
"Okay, if you insist," Edwan asked worriedly, "how do you enter the New Federation? Do you need a fake passport? The royal family has twenty-six large companies in the New Federation, and I can help you hide your identity."
Yang Ming said with a smile: "No, I have my own way. I will be back in a few months."
Adwang hesitated to speak.
But he knew that Yang Ming's willingness to share this secret with him was an indication of his absolute trust in him.
"Take care, don't push yourself too hard, and you must come back safely," Edwan sighed, "Although I don't want to admit it, I need your help."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Do you still remember our previous covenant?"
"Which covenant?"
"That's what you said when you drank some wine during the barbecue."
Edwang smiled and said: "Of course I remember, that is the only motivation that supports me till now."
Yang Ming: "Liberate this country from the shadow of the Sherman Empire and from the feudal monarchy."
Adwang: "Return authority to the people."
Yang Ming: "To create a truly independent political system."
Edwan: "Let all citizens enjoy prosperity, human rights, dignity and ideals."
Yang Ming clenched his left hand and stretched it out, and the two fist bumped lightly.
…
That night.
A black shadow sneakily climbed to the highest point of the prison, the surveillance camera near the prison, and at the same time pointed its view at the ground.
A bright light flashed across the clouds, and the black shadow disappeared.
Feinan number.
Yang Ming walked out from under the particle transmission machine and looked at the coquettish new crew members beside him, and his mood suddenly became much happier.
