MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 184
"It's ridiculous!"
Empress Dowager Yilan and Lord Semtor Rees? Gray looked at each other, the virtual images of the two sides were projected in front of each other, and there was no room for relaxation.
When to hear Reese? The Queen Mother's remaining affection for her cousin dried up when Gray had helped the Kisanna rebels and made a guilt-free speech.
Stupid guy, arrogant ambition, has made Reese? Gray couldn't see the truth.
"No matter what you have done before," Empress Dowager Yilan's icy voice was like frozen ice crystals, "Now, immediately cut off contact with the other party, and take the initiative to submit an apology letter to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"You are joking, Your Majesty the Queen Mother."
Reese? Gray didn't care at all, he shook the goblet gently, and in the glass was the cocktail he made with Semto's specialty rose wine and tomato juice.
"You will regret your decision! Even Asada? Avalanci survives, but he does not have the strength and prestige to fight against the current emperor!"
"Strength and prestige? Humph!"
Reese? Gray threw the wine glass on the ground, and the crystal cracked with a crisp sound, just as he had broken and crazy eyes.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, perhaps Soran II, your son, does have the charm and prestige to be admired by everyone. He can be the king standing at the top of the universe pyramid, just like Soran I who created the empire. But he can't A **** that everyone loves!"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Reese? Gray sarcastically said: "You are the empress dowager of the empire, you enjoy the salary of the royal family, your leader is rich and the environment is beautiful, and your life is peaceful, but, have you seen what your family is living now? Days?!" Reese? The more he spoke, the more excited Gray became. He waved his hands and roared loudly: "Since Soran II ascended the throne, now, now! In less than five years, the strength of the old-style aristocrats in the empire has not been as strong as before, and nearly one-third Yi's family disappeared forever! Indeed, the Emperor's New Deal was talked about, but only those lowly commoners and businessmen benefited! The nobles' property was shamelessly confiscated and divided, and the manor was distributed to those who relied on slaughter? The generals, all the treasures, have been defiled by the villains and shameless merchants! The glory of the past has been trampled underfoot! Countless old-fashioned nobles are poor, and those who occupy their wealth have benefited greatly! Here, Including your family, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"
Reese? Gray's roar is not the whole truth, but it is enough to show how much these nobles, who have been deprived of their wealth and status, hate Soran II's New Deal.
However, they forgot that these wealth and honors did not have to belong to them, and everything came from the gift of the emperor. Heiny III probably didn't care about this. He was very generous in taking out "a portion" of the money in the treasury to reward his "loyal" ministers. But Soran II was reluctant to do so, and hated it.
Sadly, the old-fashioned aristocrats, immersed in the luxury of the past, do not want to admit it.
Empress Dowager Yilan fell silent.
She is very clear about the decree issued by the emperor. Indeed, these decrees redistributed the wealth of some old-fashioned nobles against their interests. But because of these, the empire's tax revenue in just five years has almost reached half of the total tax revenue during the reign of Hainy III.
The privileges of the old aristocracy are abolished, the gems and gold given by Hainy III are withdrawn, and the embezzled money must be repaid in double...
One decree was issued, and with the authority of the emperor and the iron-blooded army, Soran II's New Deal was undoubtedly implemented. Likewise, the emperor will never show mercy to those who dare to go against his will. Reese? Although there are some exaggerated parts of Gray's words, the fact is that some people who conspired against the emperor's decree, whether it is just a secret plan or a blatant rebellion, have been ruthlessly suppressed by the emperor? Pressure, some old-fashioned noble families also disappeared.
During the nearly five years that Soran II was in power, most of the rebellions on the frontier planets were provoked by these old-fashioned nobles. The ruthlessness and iron blood of the young emperor stunned the rebels, but it also laid the scourge of today's various things.
However, every emperor of the empire will not show any mercy to the rebels, even Heine III.
So, Empress Dowager Yilan sympathizes with Reese? Gray, as always, but she definitely wouldn't agree with Reese? Gray was involved in the Kisanna Rebellion, not even by providing material assistance. She is a member of the Gray family, but after marrying into the royal family, her surname can only be Edrich. She will fight for the family's due interests within the limits of her ability, and it is absolutely impossible to watch Reese? Gray leads the family on a path to perdition.
"That's not the reason why you participated in the Qisanna Rebellion!" Empress Dowager Yilan's expression was as cold as her voice, her tone did not fluctuate, but Reese? Gray felt the pressure on his face, "I'm not discussing with you, this is an order, understand?"
"Order?"
"Yes. As Empress Dowager of the Empire, I order you, Reese Grey, to immediately sever all ties with the Kisanna rebels. At the same time, submit an apology to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"What if I refuse?"
"It's very simple," Empress Dowager Yilan looked at Reese coldly? Gray said word by word, "I will kill you before His Majesty the Emperor arrives."
"impossible!"
"Why not?" Empress Dowager Yilan clenched the folding fan in her hand, "Don't think that if I once had the surname Gray, I would tolerate everything the Gray family did. Although the imperial decree does not allow the empress dowager to leave the star at will, it does not. Including the rebellion! If you are still obsessed, my fleet will crush every inch of Semtor!"
"Yilan? Gray!"
"Reese? Ser Grey, please call me the Queen Mother! My last name is Edrich!"
Reese? Gray took a step back and stared at Empress Dowager Yilan angrily, "I don't believe you would do this!"
"I'll make you believe it." Empress Dowager Yilan was sitting on the large sofa in the back of the house. The dark long skirt embroidered with golden roses, scattered with wide skirts, was elegant and dignified, but with a firmness Condensation, "I would rather destroy it with my own hands than to make the Gray family bear the accusation of being a rebel!"
"You have a day to think about it. Remember, it's an order!"
When the words fell, Empress Dowager Yilan cut off the communication. The virtual image of the Queen Mother blurred and distorted in the air until it disappeared.
Reese? Gray fell into his chair, not even hearing the attendant knocking on the door.
Empress Dowager Yilan did not immediately inform Soran Edrich that the Gray family had participated in the Kisanna Rebellion. Although she is against Reese? Gray's stupid behavior is deeply disgusting, but the education he received since childhood still allowed the Queen Mother to leave a little leeway for the Gray family to turn around.
If Reese? If Gray does not repent, she will no longer care about any affection.
"However, Avalanci..." Empress Dowager Yilan unfolded her folding fan, and as the fan flapped gently, the scent of the royal family's fragrance diffused in the room, "This family's bloodline should have been cut off six hundred years ago. That's right..."
Although Reese? Gray was indeed greedy and stupid, but the Queen Mother did not think that Reese would lie to her about it. Any old-fashioned aristocrat that has lasted for more than a thousand years will not mistake the Avalanci family crest, nor will it mistakenly identify the Avalanci family member as a branch of the Edrich royal family.
The members of the Avalanci family have blue eyes that are indistinguishable from the royal family, as well as admirable beauty. Asada back then? Avalanci, also known as the Light of the Empire.
"Is it really Avalanci?"
The question of Empress Dowager Yilan is also the question of the important ministers and lords of the empire.
The Avalanci Rebellion that occurred six hundred years ago is an indelible and painful page in the history of the Empire. Although the Imperial Fleet was victorious, the impact and destruction of this rebellion was nothing compared to other frontier galaxy rebellions.
After the suppression of the rebellion, until the end of Roman II's reign, the national strength of the empire did not return to the level before the war. Although the loss was not irreparable, it was enough to leave a heavy shadow in the hearts of the rulers of the empire.
Roman II until his death, all to Asada? Avalanci was brooding. Although the Avalanci family has been shattered, the emperors since Roman II have not been able to ignore this family that has long since disappeared.
"This is what is called being bitten by a snake once, and afraid of a well rope for ten years?"
Shang Ping sat on the large office chair in the emperor's office, seemingly listening carefully to the discussions and debates of the cabinet members, but in reality he was distracted.
The court etiquette officer did not forget what he said in the lecture as Shang Ping expected. He truthfully reported the Queen's study progress to His Majesty the Emperor, and directly submitted a proposal to the Prime Minister of the Empire, Count Reichart. Directly, "Her Majesty the Queen can already participate in the cabinet meeting."
Count Reichardt did not object, and the emperor seemed to be happy with it.
Thus, Shang Ping began to act as a qualified wall flower by the emperor's side. From the memory of the previous life, Shang Ping always had the idea of "don't talk about state affairs" in his subconscious. Shang Ping was willing to lead the fleet to expedition, but he was not keen on politics. Although this is ridiculous for his current status, it does not prevent him from keeping silent in the meeting from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty the Queen?"
"Your Majesty the Queen?!"
Finance Minister Triusini raised his voice, Shang Ping snapped back to his senses, "Are you talking to me?"
As a result, the cabinet members were collectively silent.
Is Her Majesty the Queen so dissatisfied with them? So that you remain silent from beginning to end, without uttering a word? When the Chancellor of the Exchequer took the initiative to raise questions, it was such an arrogant attitude!
No matter how rough the nerves are, they can also perceive that the atmosphere at the moment is very wrong. Shang Ping instinctively looked at Solan Edrich, and under those brown eyes, His Majesty the Emperor coughed and briefly explained the topic discussed by the cabinet members just now. Shang Ping was stunned, but was very puzzled. Is such a question worth discussing for so long?
Your Majesty, are you lying to me?
Shang Ping's eyes clearly indicated that.
Soran Edrich shook his head solemnly. Therefore, Shang Ping could only turn his attention to the ministers who were waiting for his answer.
Earl Reichardt did not think that Shang Ping was arrogant. It was obvious that Her Majesty the Queen was not ready to participate in politics. Perhaps he did not intend to do so, but the proposal from the court etiquette officer made him have to pay attention to the young Her Majesty. He was also waiting for Shang Ping's answer. He didn't expect any surprises. He only hoped that Her Majesty's intelligence could match the praise given to him by the court etiquette officer.
"Actually, the answer to this question is very simple." Shang Ping didn't think that he could fight with these old foxes without falling behind, so he honestly expressed his inner thoughts. Sure enough, except for Soran Edrich and The countenance of Reichate and the ministers began to darken.
What does Her Majesty the Queen mean? Are you mocking them?
Shang Ping pretended not to see the wonderful faces of these ministers, and continued: "Please forgive my bluntness, does it matter whether it is the real Avalanci? Anyway, they are rebelling? Isn't it?"
Maybe these imperial ministers are fans of the authorities, or maybe Asada? These Imperial dignitaries were too impressed by the Avalanci Rebellion. Shang Ping touched his chin, the history recorded in too much detail may sometimes not be a good thing, especially in the current situation.
Hearing Shang Ping's words, the ministers were stunned for a moment, but Count Reichate's eyes lit up, and the emperor's reaction was very direct. He took Shang Ping's hand and gently rubbed the back of his hand.
"You don't think it's important?"
Shang Ping drew his hand, but did not take it out, and began to rejoice that both he and the emperor were sitting behind the large desk.
"Well, I do think so." Shang Ping nodded and said, "For example, when you are hunting, you will not kill a deer because it has more beautiful fur? After the rebellion, the Qisanna fleet has also become a rebel. Then, everything can be handled according to the laws of the empire? As for whether the flagship is Avalanci, it will not affect the outcome of the matter at all, right? Of course, if the other party is Asa Da Avalanci, maybe this discussion is very meaningful. But this man has been dead for six hundred years, and there is zero chance of him coming back to life."
The subtext is, whether it is Avalanci or not, it should be killed without delay.
If it is Avalanci, then it will definitely add another piece to the military exploits of Soran II. Even the general who suppressed the rebellion might say, "Ah, I defeated Avalanci!" Regardless of this How much moisture is in Avalanci.
After listening to Shang Ping's words, all the cabinet ministers looked at each other with tangled expressions. Perhaps, they were really discussing a useless issue just now?
Earl Reichardt nodded with satisfaction. Well, the eyes of the court etiquette officer are still as vicious as ever. In this way, don't care about the fact that he destroyed his own aircraft.
Shang Ping held Soran Edrich's hand, looked at the emperor very sincerely, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think what I said is correct?"
Soran Edrich nodded, took Shang Ping's hand, and kissed his fingertips, "Yes."
A group of cabinet ministers wisely decided to turn a blind eye to the closeness of the emperor and the queen, and they began to move on to the next issue.
Hearing the word "counter-insurgency fleet", Shang Ping's eyes began to light up again, Soran Edrich pulled Shang Ping's chin and said, "Don't think about it."
The emperor's voice was a bit abrupt. The cabinet ministers who were discussing which general should lead the counter-rebel fleet looked at the emperor in confusion at the same time, don't you think? Do you mean the candidates they put forward? Does the emperor have a better candidate?
At the same time, the Norred galaxy adjacent to Qisanna was suddenly attacked by the rebels of Qisanna.
Lord Norred Gray Frame? Arminia, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the large screen in the command room, her face condensed, her fists clenched and her joints creaking. Looking at the half-moon-shaped attack formation on the screen, a touch of addiction appeared on his face? Bloody smile.
"Bold and arrogant!"
When Ivan Palace received Gregar? When Harminia sent the news, the battle between the Norred galaxy fleet and the Qisanna rebels had already begun.
