A wonderful morning begins with enjoying the personal service of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
When Yang Ming opened his eyes, he saw Daphne's exquisite, flawless and beautiful face.
She looked at Yang Ming as if she were appreciating a treasured work of art, not hiding her attachment and the sense of satisfaction that ran through her soul at this moment.
After a little lingering, Yang Ming was urged by Daphne to get up and prepare for today's speech.
This is the task that Yang Ming previously agreed to with Director Ino - to give a speech to the entire army of the empire. The speech script has been sent to Yang Ming. They are all about promoting the glorious history of the empire for tens of thousands of years, praising the empire for its efficient handling of riots, and conveying this to Yang Ming.
This riot is defined as a farce in which "foreign forces with ulterior motives try to subvert a great empire."
How could Yang Ming actually read the manuscript?
Even when Daphne was doing his cleansing and skin care, he had already smelled something unusual.
In the bathroom in the corner of the palace, Yang Ming was lying on a microgravity chair, looking up at the mural above.
The content of the mural is the encounter between the founding emperor Levi Sherman and one of his more than ten concubines.
Daphne sat on top of Yang Ming's head and gently spread some gel-like substance on Yang Ming's face. She spread it evenly and pressed it gently. She also brought some heating devices that didn't look very technological and let Yang Ming
It feels warm.
"Your skin condition doesn't seem to have changed much."
Daphne murmured in a low voice, and then discussed the reason for this phenomenon with the maid on the side.
The maids said that they were not experts on ancient gods and really could not understand these things.
Yang Ming laughed: "That's all that matters. I don't want to wear a military uniform with tender skin and tender flesh. That would be an insult to the imperial soldiers."
"You're biased," Daphne said softly, continuing to gently rub Yang Ming's cheeks, "Father has just issued a message, and it seems that your speech will be broadcast live on all official channels simultaneously. Now all portals
Websites and social platforms have announced the news that you are about to give a speech to members of the Imperial Military."
Yang Ming said calmly: "Is your father so confident? Are you really afraid that I will shout Long Live Freedom?"
"This is not an appropriate joke," Daphne frowned, "Hanton, what the empire needs now is to restore stability. This is the best option for the people."
Yang Ming hummed, closing his eyes and enjoying her service.
A guard hurriedly came to the side, stood ten meters away, performed noble etiquette, and said quickly:
"Dear Duke Ghost, the time of your speech is three galactic hours later. You need to go to the Imperial Meritorious Warship Brilliant Prince. It will take about one galactic hour to arrive at the Brilliant Prince from here."
Before Yang Ming could speak, Daphne frowned and looked over: "Why did the location change? Shouldn't it be in the square in front of the palace?"
"Well," the guard whispered, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm just responsible for delivering orders."
"Go down."
Daphne's eyes were a little harsh, and the guard didn't dare to raise his head, turned around and left in a hurry.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't be angry. I had expected the temporary change of location."
"I'm afraid they will take risks," Daphne said. "Uncle Ino sent me a message this morning. At their round table meeting yesterday, they decided on a plan to tolerate and treat you well. I hope you can become a support for the long-term stability of the empire.
.But my uncle also mentioned that some family elders are very dissatisfied with this resolution, and they may have the possibility of military adventure."
Yang Ming's eyes lit up.
Is this round table starting to have disagreements?
That's a good feeling.
The civil strife in the empire does not have to be between the nobles and the common people.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "After all, I scolded them and made them lose face. It is reasonable for those old men who are accustomed to being aloof and aloof to be unwilling to let me go easily. Military adventure... I think this is unlikely. They
You can't even have this overall perspective. If you attack me at this time, wouldn't that force the people to rebel?"
"They can do anything.
"They don't care about the people at all."
Daphne bit her lip gently, with some thoughts in her eyes, and then looked down at Yang Ming.
The two of them were facing each other one hundred and eighty degrees apart.
"Hanton, you make some preparations first. I will ask my father and uncle. If this matter is decided, I will go to the ship in advance and personally lead people to check every detail."
"Daphne!"
Daphne stood up and was about to leave.
Yang Ming called from behind, but Daphne had no intention of stopping and rushed towards her dressing room.
Boss Yang hesitated to speak, then shook his head and continued to lie back in the chair.
A maid on the side came forward and continued to massage Yang Ming's face.
Buzz, buzz!
Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly.
He made a gesture, and the maids around him understood, bowed their heads and retreated.
Yang Ming glanced at his watch. There were two messages on it. Interestingly, the two messages came from two goddesses in the online world, two mechanical thinking bodies with the same origin. The difference was that one was his own and the other was potential.
of enemies.
[Law: Boss, there were bombs placed on that ship, and they were four high-explosive shaped bombs of different types at different locations. One came from the Tentacles organization, one came from the cronies of the four military veterans, and one
A senior agent from the new federal CIA, the last one was placed in the power compartment of the ship. I don’t know who put it.]
Yang Ming blinked.
Four, four?
This thing... good guy... I've been living in the empire, is my popularity so bad?!
Boss Yang was not in a hurry to reply to his assistant and opened the second text message.
The news is simple.
【Everything is up to me.】
Needless to say, only reason can crack the encrypted channel between him and Lu, so this news naturally came from him.
Labrador, the only one with hope, has no trace yet.
Yang Ming sent Lu a message back.
[Don’t worry, we’ve sorted it out.]
In the thinking space, Lu thought for a moment, knowing that the secret communication between her and her boss was no longer secret, she let out a sigh of relief.
The next speech is probably the stage for all parties to compete.
Her influence on the Emperor Star is really limited, and what she can do now is to make more filings to 'get the master'.
The technique of rebirth of cell clusters outside the body should be used if possible. Even if the boss can maintain his own personality, he will inevitably lose part of his strength.
There aren't many bugs that can be cut down now, and if the boss's strength can be kept intact, it's better to keep it intact.
In Daphne's bedroom, Yang Ming put the watch back on his wrist and waved to the side. The maids bowed their heads and continued to serve.
He closed his eyes, enjoying the tranquility of this moment, and his fingers were beating gently.
Fifteen minutes later, Daphne sent a communication invitation.
The venue for the speech was changed to the command ship Brilliant Prince. This was an order given by the four elders of the military department. The old emperor was afraid that they would actually take action, so he had sent three powerful elders from the Presbytery and two princes who were among the top ten in succession to the throne to go together.
The Brilliant Prince.
When Yang Ming heard the news, his expression was naturally very calm, but his heart was slightly smacking.
Sure enough, "Tiger poison will not eat its seeds" is only an ethical viewpoint during the agricultural civilization period.
Yang Ming asked: "Daphne, where are you now?"
"On the way to the Brilliant Prince," Daphne turned the camera and showed the ship she was on, "You wait for my news later. I will notify you after I confirm that there is no problem here. If they urge
You don’t need to pay attention to them.”
"This is too dangerous," Yang Ming groaned a few times.
"Are you worried about me?"
Daphne smiled softly, with a bit of pride in her eyes.
The few trusted maids and guards beside her were a little stunned.
Their Highness, when facing the white ghost, seemed to have changed into a different person. Instead of being vigorous and resolute before, he had the coquettishness of a little girl.
"Okay," Yang Ming shook his head, "I'm waiting for your news here... Later I will send Dawa and his twelve armed robots to you to protect your safety. If you encounter any problems, please discuss with me."
"Okay, sir," Daphne said with a smile, "I will be careful."
Yang Ming hung up the call and tapped his watch a few times.
Naturally, Lu heard what he just said. A medium-sized transport ship that had been waiting at the Imperial Star Spaceport approached the military port. The armed maid inside, who had been prepared for a long time, would soon appear next to Daphne.
The Dongfeng, which was parked outside the Imperial Star's defense circle, immediately took action and approached the Brilliant Prince from a distance.
A guard rushed over from the side: "Grand Duke, Your Majesty, please come over and have breakfast."
"Well, I'll go right away."
Yang Ming responded.
These guys who have their own agendas don’t know what other tricks they have up their sleeves.
…
The breakfast in the palace was naturally very rich. Yang Ming and the old emperor continued to chat and laugh, making some predictions in advance for the content of the next speech.
A 600-meter-long special protection ship has been suspended above the palace module, waiting for transfer.
The two princes in the palace and the three elders of the Council of Elders had already entered the ship one step ahead. Having heard some rumors, they were slightly nervously waiting for the arrival of the white ghost.
Yang Ming had just finished eating, and Daphne had already arrived at the command ship Brilliant Prince and began scanning the entire ship.
Even if he didn't see the situation there with his own eyes, Yang Ming could still imagine how many people on the command ship were sweating their palms right now.
"Hanton, it's almost time."
The old emperor looked at the time and said with a smile: "You can go give a speech."
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Daphne asked me to wait for news from her. She was afraid that someone would harm me."
The old emperor couldn't help but laugh: "Hanton, what are you worried about? When you give a speech, there will be a group of princes, elders, and ministers standing behind you. Who dares to touch you here?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Yang Ming nodded seriously, and then added, "Moreover, ordinary means cannot really threaten my life, but I am worried that the attack on me is not to make me shut up or disappear.
It's out of some political considerations."
The old emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and asked seriously: "Political considerations? Why?"
"This is actually quite complicated."
Yang Ming said seriously:
"Your Majesty, the empire has not yet emerged from the shadow of nationwide turmoil.
"The military has used force to suppress riots everywhere, and various places have begun to implement curfews and travel restrictions. People's uneasiness is rising, which has been reflected on the economic level, with people hoarding supplies in large areas.
"At this juncture, because I was promoted by you, I was hailed as an imperial hero by the people, and my words and deeds attracted much attention.
"If I were attacked during my speech, the impact on the people would be huge, and the national riots that had just been forcibly suppressed would break out again on an exponential scale."
The old emperor frowned tightly and nodded repeatedly.
Yang Ming observed the emperor's micro-expression and continued: "So, from this perspective, those who want to disrupt the empire are most likely to attack me at this time, and then blame the empire's nobles.
The Federal CIA has been operating within the empire for many years, and this must be guarded against."
"Yes," the old emperor nodded slowly, "What you think makes sense, Hanton, but that ship is the top priority for the military's protection..."
"Your Majesty, who chose that ship?"
"An elder of the family, that ship has accompanied him in battles for many years."
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming laughed, "I just mentioned the first possibility. There are other possibilities. For example, someone wants to take this opportunity to express his tough opinions to the political situation and the people of the empire.
Attitude. Your elders appear to respect public opinion, but in fact they have been separated from the people for a hundred or two hundred years. I do feel quite worried about their mental state."
The old emperor leaned aside and whispered: "You are worried..."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Okay," the old emperor shook his head slightly, "Hanton, I think your sense of crisis is too strong..."
"His Majesty!"
A guard hurriedly came outside the door, bowed and saluted from a distance, and loudly reported: "Her Royal Highness Daphne found two high-explosive shaped bombs while scanning the Brilliant Prince!"
"What!"
The old emperor's eyes widened and he cursed angrily: "Rebellion! Rebel against them! The pillars of my empire, my two biological sons, are they going to blow up together! Or two, two... two?"
The guard immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty! There are two! One is under the podium, and the other is in the energy compartment of the spacecraft. They are both... high-performance explosive bombs that can completely destroy heavy battleships!"
"Asshole!"
The old emperor was furious.
Yang Ming was a little unclear whether the old emperor was acting or was angry because he felt that the plan had been ruined.
After appreciating the old emperor's acting skills, Yang Ming didn't want to stay any longer.
He stood up and asked the guard: "Is the scan completed?"
"It has been scanned three times."
"Your Majesty," Yang Ming turned around and said with a smile, "It should be the two bombs planted by the New Federal CIA and your elders. It's just a small matter. Don't take it too seriously. I'm going to the Brilliant Prince."
"Okay Hanton," the old emperor's ears were ringing with anger, "Thank you for your hard work... you will give a speech according to the speech script in your hand, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, what's the problem?"
"You can actually give it a try yourself," the emperor said with a smile, "This time I have launched a live broadcast for you throughout the territory, and invested a lot of resources. Don't be too rigid, and don't always praise virtues, otherwise you won't get the resonance of the people.
Thank you, you can talk about the problems of the empire, as long as you give everyone some hope and determination to solve these problems, it is enough."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yang Ming performed a knight's salute.
The knight commander's badge on his chest is quite dazzling.
The old emperor smiled with satisfaction.
However, when Yang Ming left the hall, the old emperor's expression became gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He sent someone to plant the bomb under the podium, with the intention of blaming the four senior officers in the military.
When it was confirmed that Yang Ming had boarded the ferry and rushed to the frigate in the sky, the old emperor kicked over the table in front of him, like an angry and aging lion.
On the ferry boat.
Before Yang Ming could sit still, his watch vibrated slightly.
【Go to the bathroom.】
Sister Li sent the latest instructions.
Yang Ming glanced at the two guards behind the ferry boat, stood up with a smile, and walked straight to the bathroom without saying anything.
He only has one minute.
Opening the small door of the bathroom, Yang Ming immediately saw... another version of himself standing in the corner.
Omnic?
Yang Ming thought of the old emperor of the Luofeng Empire, the old omnipotent that had deceived the Luofeng Empire for several years. The omnipotent in front of him was also lifelike. In addition to having no biological energy, it could deceive most people.
Scanning equipment.
The omnic held a helmet in its hand.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Is it necessary? Sister, you can just come directly."
A few lines of small words appeared on the helmet shell.
【I can't imitate your expression.
[This is a special omnipotent weapon not known to the empire. It is more sophisticated than what you have seen in Luofeng, and it also has some combat capabilities.
[I placed shaped charges in the power furnace of that ship, and placed twelve milligrams of antimatter around it.
[You don’t need to move later, just hide in this bathroom, I will send you out of the Emperor Star.]
Yang Ming gave a thumbs up, quickly sat on the artistic toilet, put on his helmet, and turned on the omni-machine.
