Chapter 798 Its broken, the oral pleasure from back then has come true.
If what Brother Jiu said is true...
No, as long as half of it is true, Kong Deming's accusation is far greater than the groundless treason committed by the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce.
This is a conspiracy to usurp the throne!
Most of the officials who were familiar with Kong Deming have passed away long ago, and most of the current officials only came into contact with the Holy Spirit Cult after it officially took over the upper echelons of the Sun and Moon Empire.
Qian Chaoguang has a God's perspective and knows that this old man dedicated his life to the Sun and Moon Empire and the Xu family, but others don't know.
Jiu Ge's slap on the hat made many people's hearts suddenly become excited.
"Mr. Kong, he can't really..." Someone muttered in a low voice.
It was obviously said by a senior official from the pro-Pixiu faction, but no one found out who it was.
It's so quiet in the court, who can't hear it?
Many people have already started to look at each other.
The top leaders of the Sun and Moon Empire were not united and were divided into multiple factions.
Everyone has his own ambitions.
Some people like power, some people like money.
The Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has a lot of the latter.
Because of this, although Ninth Brother is an outsider, he does have a certain say in the senior management of the Sun and Moon Empire, and it is not small.
These pro-Pixiu Chamber of Commerce guys naturally don't want the Sun and Moon Empire to stop the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce's business.
Other chambers of commerce are unable to conduct business in the occupied areas. The Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is the only one in power, and what it does is a monopoly business!
These are all golden soul coins!
When the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce was selling soul guides across the entire continent, how much "filial piety" did they eat!
It was really a mouthful to eat.
The more Pixiu merchants make, the more bribes they can take.
Therefore, they naturally do not want the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce to be suppressed like this.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to open the back door wider while the Sun and Moon Empire is in turmoil, find more ways to make some money, and maintain a good relationship with the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce.
If the Sun and Moon Empire wins, they can join forces and continue to make money happily. If Kong Deming wants to touch them, he will destroy the Great Wall.
If the Immortal Empire wins, the worst that can happen is that they will just surrender like the city lords in the occupied areas, and they can still continue to make money happily.
No matter who wins or loses in the future, money will give you confidence.
If the worst comes to worst, we can escape from this vortex with a lot of gold and silver.
As long as you have money in your hands, where can you not be free and happy?
Wouldn’t it be nice for him to buy an apartment in Shrek City?
It is obvious that there are quite a lot of such people among the senior officials of the Sun and Moon Empire, and most of them are not small fish and shrimps. Many of them are powerful people.
If not for this, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to develop so rapidly in just over ten years.
This is also thanks to the backdoors opened by many high-ranking officials of the Sun and Moon Empire, which is full of loopholes, and the huge bribes given to them every year are not in vain.
Those who were able to survive the previous massive purges of the Holy Spirit Cult, except for those whose backstage connections were so strong that they could reach the heavens, the rest were all people who knew how to protect themselves with wisdom and wisdom. They all had very lively thoughts, and no one was really a fool.
They may not be very good at running the country.
But when it comes to "the way of being an official", everyone is really smarter than a monkey.
"A eloquent speaker who stirs up trouble and confuses right and wrong. General Manager Ninth, I will remember you."
Kong Deming's voice was thunderous and gloomy, which showed that he was extremely angry and even had the urge to fly back to Mingdu and beat him to death to vent his anger!
"Let me ask you, is your Pixiu Chamber of Commerce determined to go against the empire?"
Brother Jiu immediately said righteously: "I have never said that. Our Pixiu Chamber of Commerce only rejects the unreasonable demands and personal threats from the chief minister of the empire."
"In the many years since the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce was established, we have always abided by the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire, strictly abided by every rule and regulation, never engaged in fraud, and even made great contributions to the war of the Sun and Moon Empire."
"Not to mention those special cooperation terms, just in terms of paying taxes, our Pixiu Chamber of Commerce has topped the list of private chambers of commerce in the Sun and Moon Empire for six consecutive years. It has provided jobs for countless people and brought a ray of light to their lives.
Light."
"Now, as the chief minister of the Sun and Moon Empire, you are questioning whether our Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is guilty of treason? Are you questioning whether our Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is going against the empire? How chilling is this!"
"From the beginning to the end, we only have the people of the empire in our hearts!"
"If you must ask the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce not to conduct any commercial activities in the occupied areas, it is not without discussion."
"As long as you amend the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire or issue a formal emergency temporary commercial law, we, as a law-abiding chamber of commerce, will naturally abide by it."
Listening to Brother Ninth's talk, Kong Deming's face became more and more gloomy.
If you want to amend the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire, you must personally change the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire. Even the regent and the Queen Mother Chui Lian do not have this power.
Obviously, the current emperor is still too young and has no ability to do this.
The introduction of emergency temporary commercial laws also requires the emperor himself, or the formal regent established by the previous emperor, and the prince appointed by the contemporary emperor to supervise the country.
The Queen Mother acting as regent cannot.
The Queen Mother listens behind the curtain and manages the country on behalf of the young emperor. This is a tacit understanding that theoretically violates the law.
It's just that this kind of thing has never happened in the Sun and Moon Empire before, and there are no relevant legal provisions, so everyone has always maintained a tacit understanding.
To be honest, Orange and Kong Deming are both unreasonable.
Before Brother Jiu brought this up, no one realized that there was a loophole that could be exploited.
Well, if Kong Deming wants to change the law or introduce a temporary commercial law, he must proclaim himself emperor.
With his current strength and prestige, coupled with the blood of the Xu family, it is not impossible.
If it works, at least half of the people in the DPRK will support it.
If you find any reason to depose the little emperor and the despondent Queen Mother Orange, the matter will be settled.
Only in this way, Kong Deming confirmed his eternal infamy for placing the empress dowager of the empire under house arrest and deposing the emperor to seize the throne.
The pro-Pixiu faction will definitely spare no effort to discredit this and try to bring this matter back - because Kong Deming has touched their interests.
Becoming a person who steals the country is something Kong Deming cannot accept.
The scene was awkward for a while.
Kong Deming suddenly found that he was riding a tiger and was in a dilemma.
Come on, he really can't bear this eternal infamy, and he himself can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Retreat, you, the dignified chief minister of the Sun and Moon Empire, were actually threatened by a private chamber of commerce!
Moreover, he slapped me in the face so hard in front of a group of senior officials that I couldn't get off the stage.
Where will I put my old face in the future?
Now Kong Deming already hates the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, Ninth Brother, and even those corrupt worms!
The other chambers of commerce were afraid of the power of the Sun and Moon Empire. Even though they knew that the empire did not abide by the law, they did not dare to give in and obeyed him obediently.
A feudal empire has no strength behind it. Even if it is known that the government has violated the law, what can it do?
The law these days is meant to serve the upper class.
But the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce is different. It itself is not from the Sun and Moon Empire.
With the behemoth of the Immortal Empire as his back, Qian Chaoguang's personal endorsement, and countless senior officials of the Sun and Moon Empire bundled into a community of interests, Ninth Brother was very tough.
It’s just like facing Kong Deming.
I'm not afraid of any sort of liquidation afterwards.
It's probably similar to - if you have the ability, you can kill me? If you don't have the ability, just endure it.
I really hate his motherfucker!
Kong Deming couldn't help but couldn't think of a solution, so he cursed in his heart.
Being able to force this guy into such a bird-like state shows how powerful Ninth Brother's infuriating skills are.
In the end, the court meeting had to be abandoned.
It ended with Kong Deming saying a few harsh words.
no way.
Now the Sun and Moon Empire really can't spare the experience and strength to punish the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce.
The soul engineers are either rushing to make high-energy compression array soul guidance devices, or they are stationed in various places.
No one dares to leave, not even Kong Deming himself - no one knows when the Immortal Empire will come over, so they can only stay tight.
The entire Mingdu was frantically preparing for war amid the turmoil, and a large number of soul guidance device positions were surrounding the outer layer of Mingdu in circles.
Therefore, in addition to being incompetent and furious, even if Kong Deming knew that he had lost face, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Brother Jiu is just a representative of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, not a real decision-maker.
Killing him would make no sense, and would even lead to an early break with the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce, and cause strong dissatisfaction among the moths.
If you don't get it right, you'll be shooting yourself in the foot.
If there is another trouble in the rear at this time, everything will be over.
As for the mysterious big boss of the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce.
To this day, the Sun and Moon Empire does not know who he is, let alone his true whereabouts. They only vaguely heard that he seems to come from an ancient family.
In this way, everything will have to wait until the war with the Immortal Empire is over.
If you win, the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce will be liquidated.
Kong Deming vowed to make the Pixiu Chamber of Commerce pay the price.
If you lose, then you don’t have to think about these issues.
In his view, the Immortal Empire would ban it on its own. Taking the fate of the Sun and Moon Empire as an example to reflect on, it was impossible to leave such an unstable factor that controlled the mainland's economy.
Um......
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
Not even Kong Deming could escape.
Before he could think about this full ideal, three months after the Mingdou Mountain Range was lost, the Immortal Empire's large-scale attack began.
In Kong Deming's eyes, his dispersed defense and delaying the deployment of defense should be very effective, or at least it can greatly slow down the march of the Undead Empire.
If you can delay it for a day, it's a day. Maybe if you delay it for a day longer, you can get some improvement.
But in the eyes of the Immortal Empire, no matter how the Sun and Moon Empire deploys its defenses, the final result will not change.
Because times have changed.
The rules of war have also changed.
If the Battle of Doosan Mountains is the Immortal Empire's attempt to bring something new to the world, this large-scale advancement operation is the official beginning of the change of the times.
It’s time for the Sun and Moon Empire to have a taste of what true modern warfare is!
Let’s start with the air supremacy that the Sun and Moon Empire had boasted of many years ago but had never actually implemented in all these years.
Focusing on air supremacy, Qian Chaoguang personally took action this time and led Mo Xuan to formulate a series of air combat plans.
This plan mainly consists of two parts.
The first step is to deafen and blind the multiple defense points of the Sun and Moon Empire, cut their multiple defense points into small pieces, and isolate them into isolated islands that are not connected to each other.
The core goal is to use all communication base stations, high-altitude detection soul guides, and satellite soul guides to completely cut off Kong Deming's eyes and ears, and then cover his mouth.
There is information below that cannot be fed back, and the highest decision-making level has orders but cannot issue them.
The second step is to cripple and paralyze the Sun and Moon Empire's army.
Relying on high mobility to completely destroy the soul guidance device position, cut off the strongest armed force of the Sun and Moon Empire, turning it into a toothless tiger.
In this two-step battle plan, the Sun-Moon Empire's soul mentor army and the high-energy compression array soul guide were not considered at all.
With interference soul guides and interference bombs around, the high-energy compression array soul guides are just a pile of useless scrap metal. The linked soul guides that the Sun and Moon Empire is proud of have also been temporarily banned.
If it's an aerial battle, soul mentors can indeed fly, but how high can traditional soul mentors fly?
Two thousand meters is basically the flight limit of the soul mentor group.
Only the elite can barely manage three thousand meters.
At 4,000 meters, only level nine soul masters can stay for a short period of time.
As for the five thousand meters, even a titled Douluo with a beast spirit can only rely on an explosion to rush up in just a few minutes with the help of a flying soul guide.
Due to the blockade of the God Realm, the distance above five thousand meters can almost be called a restricted area for humans.
That is the ultimate ice temperature of minus 150 degrees.
Only a Super Douluo can withstand such terrifying low temperatures and extremely high consumption by relying entirely on his own strength.
The ultimate ice-level attribute suppression, the thin air, the energy of heaven and earth, and various attribute elements are all fatal crises.
This time, the flying troops of the Immortal Empire will fly at an altitude of 5,500 meters, which even the Beast Spirit Titled Douluo can barely reach by using his martial spirit avatar to forcefully erupt.
The Sun and Moon Empire does not have any ultra-high-altitude detection soul guides that can conduct detection at this altitude, and the Sun and Moon Empire does not have any troops that can fight at such an altitude.
This time, it will be a real dimensionality reduction blow.
...
In the southern part of the Sun and Moon Empire, in a temporary camp close to the occupied area, the gate to heaven opened, and a line of members of the human battle group strode out, numbering about a hundred people.
On their bodies, they all wore a very special kind of clothing, with the seams connected by some kind of soft material.
This seems to be made of some kind of fire-attributed soul beast fur as the main material and refined by special means.
It fits the body while being extremely insulating.
To be precise, this should no longer be called clothes.
Perhaps it should be called a special leather armor, with a large number of magic rune substrates and formation channels embedded inside, which can release many functions with soul power.
