At dawn, Diao Si asked Ouma to issue orders to all the major families and ask them to gather in the palace. He was going to hold a very important meeting.
That night, Diao Si had asked Yuli to secretly deploy those cannons at specific locations. Of course, he was not going to deal with anyone, but he was just leaving a way out for himself. If anything happened, at least he still had something to hold on to.
So now it is not only Diao Si who is nervous, but also his entire team in Green Hidden City, as well as some newcomers trained from the two major academies. If they really can't reach an agreement, the Imperial City will probably be filled with blood today.
It's not just Diao Si's formation that's tense. People from the royal family and major families are also walking on thin ice to the palace today. Some generals are already secretly waiting for orders in the imperial city, as if a war is about to break out.
In the palace hall, Ouma spoke first. Following Diao Si's instructions, she first praised the contributions of the royal family and major families during the three-month construction period, and also looked forward to the bright future of the Blazing Empire.
But then she mentioned some unpleasant things that had happened during this period, such as people from various major families once putting her under house arrest, and yesterday Lei Ming led troops to attack the imperial city, which was a very serious act of treason.
Then, she mentioned that Diao Si had made that development commitment three months ago, and tomorrow was the deadline. Everything he has done during this period is obvious to all, so he does not need to accept any punishment, and for the sake of the future of the Blazing Empire, she plans to continue to let Diao Si lead the people of the Blazing Empire...
As expected, this caused dissatisfaction among the major families. They kept raising opinions, mainly focusing on Diao Si's identity, saying that he was not qualified to lead the Blazing Empire.
In view of this, Ouma quickly proposed that Diao Si was ready to join their royal family and become her brother, so he could meet such conditions. This is even more unacceptable to the people of the major families. How could Diao Si join the royal family like this
When the conflict came, the major families representing the majority were powerful. When they started shouting like this, Ouma couldn't stop reading and just looked at Diao Si at a loss.
In this way, Diao Si walked to Ouma's throne. Ouma actually smiled and stepped out of the way. This action alone silenced the voices of the major families in the audience.
"Hello everyone, I'm sorry to disappoint you all by coming up like this, but why don't I want to be like everyone else? I hope I can stand there and listen to the emperor's command. But no, I think everyone understands that Emperor Omar is not A good ruler, she doesn’t have the ability to manage our Blazing Empire.”
Some sensitive people began to say that Diao Si was insulting the emperor, but there were relatively few voices, so it was insignificant because everyone knew that Diao Si was telling the truth.
"Yes, my words are disrespectful to the emperor, but the emperor will definitely forgive me, because I am helping her, I am helping her royal family, and I am helping her Blazing Empire..."
What Diao Si said made sense. Looking at Ouma's intoxicated look next to him, there were fewer and fewer objections below. Of course, it's not that they want to accept Diao Si, but they know that such objections are of little use.
"I hope everyone can take a longer view. There is currently a melee in the north. The small countries to the east and around the Sabei Desert in the north have been affected by the war. Even our northwest border has been eroded a lot of land... "
Diao Si began to analyze the situation of the Blazing Empire. This was also the homework he made up yesterday. In the past, he was concerned about development and did not know. In fact, the current situation of the Blazing Empire is not optimistic. The war in the north has forced many troops to go south. Green The three waves of attacks that Hidden City had received before were just the tip of the iceberg. The large area of Blazing Empire territory without troops stationed in the north was actually no longer under their control.
This is also due to the vast nature of the Blazing Empire. It may take two or three days to send troops from the imperial city to the northwest corner of the border, and it takes more than a day to reach the farthest garrison point. Even if they have a strong army , it is difficult to preserve such a large territory because transportation is not developed at all.
After talking for a long time, Diao Sicai said in conclusion: "The situation is very pessimistic, especially after the north is unified. Do you think we can stop the enemies in the north? It is absolutely impossible, we will lose all our Honor, disgrace, status, everything, will become slaves of the subjugated country... "
It seems that Diao Si's words really have some effect. Once honor is mentioned, these warriors will pay attention to it, and Diao Si's analysis is not excessive. Soldiers with some knowledge know how powerful the north is, just because there is The Sabei Desert and those small countries are blocking it, and only then can the Blazing Empire enjoy peace.
"... These are also Emperor Oso's last words to me. She begged me to protect this country for her royal family, because she knows that I am the only one in the entire Blazing Empire who can do this!"
What Diao Si said was quite true, but it still made some people in the family dissatisfied. They immediately refuted Diao Si: "Emperor Osuo is dead, now you can say whatever you want, and Emperor Osuo may even give it to you." Killed..."
Diao Si was still very calm about this. He let those people finish everything they said, and then slowly responded: "I don't want to talk to you about these fruitless things now, and I don't care what Emperor Oso said to me. What happened? I just need you to understand that only I, Diao Si, can save you and the Blazing Empire!"
"Stop talking nonsense, what can you do with your own strength?" This time it was the older woman from the Zhantian family who spoke. She was very doubtful of Diao Si's ability.
"You weren't there when I defeated the thundering army, were you? Who among you can do it besides me? If you can, stand up now." Diao Si said these words calmly, his voice was not loud, but it was very powerful. strength.
Seeing those people being silent, Diao Sicai continued: "In addition, the internal problems of our empire are also quite complicated, between the royal family and the family, between the mage family and the warrior family, between the warrior family and the warrior family... all Between people and me! If these conflicts arise, our prospects will be really worrying."
"Actually, sometimes I really want to ask you all, do you have any ideals? You have worked hard here in the empire for so many years. It is not easy to train from a silver light warrior to a dark crystal warrior and a mixed crystal warrior..."
These words made those people think a little. Many of them have no brains, so how can they think so long-term? Apart from the consistent training to level up for honorary status, I really didn’t think too much about it.
Of course, not everyone is like this, especially those representative figures, those old guys. They have experienced so much and have thoughts in their hearts.
"Duke Hao Zhan, can you tell me? What is your ideal? What is your family's ideal? How do you want to realize your ideal?..." Diao Si's series of words made everyone turn their attention to Hao The battle is over.
Hao Zhan glanced at everyone, and then responded: "The ideal of the Haowu family is to lead the Blazing Empire to rebuild its former glory and wipe out those countries that have influenced us in the past..."
Jiang is old and hot, and Hao Zhan is really a bit ideal. Naturally, her remark was immediately recognized by people from all the major families, and won a lot of approval voices. But Diao Si in front of the throne nodded and then shook his head, which obviously confused everyone.
"Of course it is our wish to contribute to the empire and regain the ideals of the martyrs, but haven't you ever thought that after you have contributed so much to the empire, you should also gain something? Are you all satisfied with the current family ranking? ?”
Diao Si's words speak to the hearts of these people. Who hasn't thought about these aspects? Especially in terms of family comparison, can a disadvantaged family accept inferior treatment
"After I become the emperor, I will give everyone a dream, an autonomous land, so that people from each family can manage it like their own country, and then the entire Blazing Empire will become a federal power, under a unified Under the rule of law and military, you can all manage your own territories... "
Listening to what Diao Si said, people from the major families couldn't believe it. The feudal lords of the Blazing Empire had never had such a high degree of autonomy. Diao Si's words were so abnormal and beyond their imagination. (To be continued)
