Chapter 1,284 Those who know how to start and those who know how to end
"Yes. I approve the plan drawn up by the Privy Council and the Grand Marshal's Office. May the spirit of the universe be with you, and may victory and honor last forever."
The voice of Emperor Eliasel instantly crossed the endless sea of gray mist in the virtual world and arrived at the node he chose in the main material world. With the emperor's current ability, his
The spirit is as vast and deep as an abyss, and the spiritual anchor formed by the condensed will has already transcended the constraints of space and time.
So, at this moment, in the audience room of Longlin Palace in Tianyu, the Privy Council ministers who had been waiting for a long time heard the voice of the Supreme Being. Although they still did not see the emperor himself, the emperor's voice arrived and the emperor's will arrived.
, which means the emperor himself has arrived.
As a result, these important ministers who controlled the entire Galactic Empire and even half of the universe knelt on one knee in the audience hall, listening to the divine voice from the void with the most humble attitude. At that moment, they were not just receiving the message from their Lord.
The edict is more like listening to an oracle.
"May victory and honor last forever." The emperor's majestic voice, like a god's, rang in everyone's ears.
The important ministers of the Privy Council respectfully said in unison: "The glory will always be with your Majesty!"
But then, the majestic voice suddenly changed its style and became more relaxed: "Hahahaha, there's no need to be so nervous. Even if you don't dare to deduce the future, you should still have confidence in your own national strength. No matter what the outcome is.
, I am still alive, and there will always be a time when I know everything. Now that you have made up your mind, go ahead and do it boldly."
The ministers once again said in unison: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo!"
Although everyone was blessing in unison, at this moment, the atmosphere in Longlin Palace became excited. These Privy Council ministers, whose average age had entered the senior stage, suddenly became as high-spirited as high-spirited young people.
At this moment, they seemed to hear their parents saying to themselves, "Go out and make a living. If you don't succeed, you can still have food to eat at home." So, with a sense of security, fighting spirit naturally developed.
From this perspective, no matter whether they are important officials of the empire who control half of the universe or young people who go out to explore the world, their essential spiritual structures are actually unified.
"I'm always at ease when you do things." Emperor Eliasel left an instruction filled with joy, and his will left here immediately.
"So, you can't stay for a meeting? Like a normal supreme commander, can you give some serious instructions on subsequent actions? Every time it is decided by the Privy Council, doesn't our empire look better than the opposite alliance?
Is it still democratic?" Prime Minister Valpolis couldn't help but sneered.
However, he had just turned away from this thought, and the air pressure in Longlin Palace dropped again. Even the non-psionic people present could feel that this was the return of His Majesty the Emperor's will.
"Now there must be people saying strange things about me in their hearts. However, I still say the same thing, I am always at ease when you do things." There was a smile in the emperor's voice: "Then, Inota, tell me your decision
Tell everyone."
Prime Minister Valpolis had already guessed something, and he couldn't help but let out a complicated sigh in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Grand Duke Inota, but there was a trace of emotion on the vicissitudes and decayed face of this centenarian.
A relaxed smile.
Most people in the empire would not have thought that the Chief Privy Seal of the Privy Council, theoretically the second most powerful person in the empire, and the leader of the empire's martial nobles, had actually been opposed to this war that had not yet been launched.
Half a year ago, when the temptation of the Ring of Miracles was placed in front of the empire, and when the war madmen in the Grand Marshal's Palace were preparing to formulate a battle plan, Grand Duke Inota said this:
"We may achieve military victory, and we may regain a little bit of the glory we lost fifty years ago, but it will be difficult for us to really get what we want."
But even so, he still supports everyone to start preparations for war. According to His Highness the Grand Duke, even if the war fails in the end, the empire's mobilization power can be tested to see how the Tiruiro people will fare after fifty years of peace.
Is the sword no longer sharp?
And now, Emperor Elithel, who has been swimming in the void, has finally put an end to the debate on this matter.
In everyone's sight, this old man who was over 100 years old had straightened up, and his figure suddenly became taller. His whole body suddenly contained a sense of strength like that of a young man.
An aging face, a young body.
Prime Minister Valpolis always felt like he saw the shadow of the emperor. Then, he heard the Grand Justice say: "Okay, this will be the last time that I preside over this meeting as the Privy Council Privy Seal.
"
Everyone present respected their identities and did not make an uproar on the spot. However, the news really shocked them and they all fell into silence for a while.
"You killers, yes, of course, including me, an old killer, you really know how to start a war and how to conduct a war. Therefore, your Majesty and I have never worried about having no successors." Grand Duke Inota
While smiling, he took the box with the Privy Council coat of arms from the hands of the palace attendant.
Everyone knows that this is the seal representing the Chief Privy Council.
So, the position of Lord Privy Seal, the head of the imperial ministers, is going to be transferred like this? You know, the only people present are the Lord Privy Councilors who are in the heavenly realm, such as the Grand Master of the Astral Knights, Duke Sartolan
, King Suliuka, the Chief of Army Administration of the New Continent, is not here yet? Is it a bit too casual to decide such an important position intuitively?
Naturally, some people present would think so, but they did not dare to object. The Emperor Elisir they knew was such a casual person.
Then again, for a God-Emperor whose power is comparable to that of a god and who has sat on the supreme throne for two hundred years, all patriarchal etiquette can only give way to his will.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that His Majesty the Emperor's will had left silently without knowing when.
King Wilente saluted the Grand Duke who raised the seal with respectful and solemn eyes, but his heart was not very happy. He really never thought that Grand Duke Inota would give up his job at this time, let alone
His Majesty the Emperor actually agreed. He is such a person and will be very unhappy with any unexpected situation that exceeds his own expectations.
However, if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Although Grand Duke Inota supports everyone's plan for this war, he is actually quite "steady" in his heart. Many young imperial generals even say secretly that it is true that people will die as they get older. Father Yi is young
He was so brave at that time, but when he reached the stage of flirting with his grandson, his courage and courage were gone.
Now, once the aging Grand Duke retires, the person most qualified to serve as the Privy Council Seal is actually King Thoraine. This elected emperor has just rolled off the battlefield, and has been in charge of the military and political affairs of the Grand Marshal's Palace.
The commander of the Imperial Army who wiped out the looters last year. If he were in charge of the Privy Council, the war decision-making might be smoother.
In fact, King Wilente has always felt that a Dragon King like himself, with his dragon and phoenix looks, outstanding appearance, literary and military skills, and an upright young man, is the most qualified to be in charge of the Privy Council. However, even if he is as proud as him,
Knowing that my qualifications and achievements are really not worthy of this position, it is better to stay dormant for the time being...
Of course, if it is really the stage when the throne is about to change, such an important position must be fought for at all costs. But judging from the state just now, His Majesty the Emperor is obviously in good spirits, and maybe he can still
It can last another hundred or two hundred years.
King Valente looked at King Thoren, who was directly opposite him, and saw that this outstanding elected emperor had a look of surprise on his face. It was obvious that the other party had not received the message.
King Wei suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Then, Grand Duke Inota said: "So, Your Majesty and I have already decided, Sir Valpolis, you will be the next Lord of the Seal. Of course, this does not mean that you can
The heavy burden of the Prime Minister's Office has been relieved."
King Valente suddenly realized it, thinking that this might be a blind spot in my thinking. Valpolis was originally the second-ranked member of the Privy Council, tied with King Thoraine. It was actually reasonable for him to take over...
Weird!
Even a man as calculating as him and with superb acting skills didn't know what expressions to make for a while.
In the political system of the empire, the Privy Council is the derivative of the emperor's will and is also the representative of the martial nobles and military citizens. The Prime Minister's Office is the only leading department of the administrative bureaucracy. The two should naturally be in a unified but opposing position.
Above. In the past history of the empire, of course there was no shortage of powerful people who had the glory of the East Courtyard and the authority of the West Palace attributed to them throughout their lives, such as Grand Duke Shail, the old lover of Emperor Yiwenya... But these people,
Who is not a wise prime minister who can leave his name in history?
To put it bluntly, which Privy Council Lord Privy Seal is not the talker of the Tirello military nobles?
The Prime Minister of Valpolis may be regarded as a capable official, but after all, he is an upstart who was pushed out of his humble position by the emperor. In the process of serving as Prime Minister, he often touched the cakes of noble gentlemen. Among the children of the old military nobles, this
This guy is definitely the number one traitor in the country.
A person like him has already caused many people to pinch their noses just by occupying a position in the Privy Council. How can he be so virtuous as to be able to sit in the first place?
Then, I saw that the Prime Minister of Valpolis opposite also showed a very shocked expression... In other words, a very well-designed shocked expression: "The lower official is not a Prime Minister who was born a noble, but a Prime Minister who was born a bureaucrat."
"The Prime Minister of the Empire is the head of the bureaucracy." Inota said impartially.
"Xiaguan means that he has no experience in the military and is really not familiar with military affairs." Prime Minister Valpolis sighed: "Tell me, how can I, a teacher born in an ordinary family, be able to do this?"
In charge of the Privy Council?"
"Since Your Majesty has made the decision, you can do it even if you can do it, and you can do it even if you don't." Grand Duke Inota waved his hand in a haha, and then said: "You said you don't know anything about military affairs? Hahaha, maybe
Is this what His Majesty wants? On this table, there are many people who know how to start a war, and there are also many people who know how to fight, but sometimes, what is needed is someone who knows how to end the battle."
Before anyone else could react, Grand Duke Inota's eyes had already surrendered to King Soleyn: "Your Highness, I am conveying His Majesty's will. What do you think?"
The emperor-elect shrugged noncommittally and said to the prime minister: "I just want to know how our fleet is doing."
"All the main ships of the Forbidden Fleet have completed maintenance and are ready to sail." the prime minister said businesslikely.
"What about the mobilization orders issued by the Generalissimo's Palace to each Zhechong Palace?" King Suo asked again.
"Yesterday at the meeting in the Prime Minister's Office, I personally vetoed it." The Prime Minister replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
...As a result, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified.
Just when everyone thought that the two big bosses in charge of the military and the government were going to fight on the spot, the ill-tempered King Soleyn more than once reprimanded a general in front of a group of ordinary soldiers to the point of being embarrassed.
King Ren showed an appreciative expression, looked at the other person up and down, and said with a smile: "...Okay, now I believe it, you may be the rare person in our current empire who knows how the war should end.
, I am willing to cooperate with you. However, we must first start the discussion before we can finish it."
Almost at the same moment, Duke Sadolan, who was far away in the New World and did not participate in the Privy Council meeting in the Sky Territory, agreed that he felt the vast will like a god.
He opened his eyes in his retreat room, but at this time, the vast will quickly receded like an ebbing tide.
However, this was enough for Duke Sadolan. He adjusted his breathing and allowed himself to completely calm down.
He knew that when His Majesty approved the Privy Council's plan, he would soon face the greatest challenge of his destiny. Only by passing this level would he be qualified to inquire about the truth.
As the grand leader of the Astral Knights who has experienced hundreds of battles, he has passed the age where he needs to rely on his blood and fighting spirit to overcome difficulties and dangers. Now, what he needs is a calm mind. The more he needs to cross mountains of swords and seas of fire, the more he needs.
No distractions.
Then, his ears were once again filled with a wild singing voice: "Lao Sa across the way, look over. Look over~~~Look over! The virtual realm here is very exciting, please don't ignore it.
.”
The empire's culture is extensive and profound. In fact, the other party is just singing a popular love song that has been circulated in the empire for thousands of years. Observers from outside the universe can just take the spirit home.
Duke Sadolan sighed: "My heart, my heart is as calm as water..."
"I don't have any old enemies, because the empire is all vegetables, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~~~~ I don't have any old enemies, because the empire, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,~~~~"
"No mind, no body, no knowledge, no anger..." Duke Sadolan said to himself again.
"Lao Sa led people to invade, and he was in trouble. He met an old man Lan and was beaten. Thanks to the emperor's quick appearance, he was sent to the hospital to lie down for five years. Okay~~~~ Oh no, I sung it wrong, it's
It’s not going to get better~~~~~”
Then, the demonic singing stopped immediately, and then was replaced by the demonic suona sound, but it still paid attention to his ears without stopping.
The grand leader of the Astral Knights, who had closed his eyes and was concentrating, finally stood up and tore open a space opening with a single stroke of his hand. This was of course not because he was so powerful that he could ignore the laws of space, but because of the space anchor point.
It is hidden in the ups and downs of singing and suona sounds. In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be an obscure message, but for demigods like them who are about to step onto the side of truth, it is almost equivalent to twisting in front of themselves.
Butt.
"Lan Jiufeng! You are going too far!" Sadulan shouted at the opening of the space.
After nearly half a minute, a voice floated over from the other side: "Look at your serious appearance, you are so stupid. I really can't stand it if I don't bully you. If you have the ability, why don't you come back?"
"I can't come over, but why don't you come over? Bah!"
