As soon as the news came out. The entire Quancheng County exploded with a bang.
too suddenly!
So scary!
Without any warning, Du Taiping resigned.
Discussions spread throughout the streets of Quancheng County. All the people took to the streets, their eyes filled with shock. They felt that all this was too shocking.
"Seriously ill?"
"Tianzi Du is truly a benevolent king who has devoted his whole life to the country. In order to be busy with the government affairs of New Kyushu, he actually became seriously ill due to fatigue from his duties."
"Haha, it seems that Prime Minister Xun is coming to power."
"Prime Minister Xun
"If nothing else happens, Prime Minister Xun will come to power. Once Emperor Du steps down, Prime Minister Xun will be the only one to take over. There cannot be anyone else. No one has the ability, and no one has the strength."
"Prime Minister Xun is still young..."
"This has nothing to do with whether you are young or not. Once Emperor Du resigned, even if Prime Minister Xun did not come to power, he would be equivalent to the emperor. No one has more power than him, except Dean Li. But Dean Li is sure He doesn't care about these things, so it is a certainty that Prime Minister Xun will take over. What's more, Prime Minister Xun guarded Xizhou for four months and created a myth for Xizhou. In one season, it is said that Xizhou produced more than 20 billion kilograms of grain. . More than ten times more than last year. For this dazzling achievement, no one in the political circles of New Kyushu can match him."
"I think it's weird. Why did Emperor Du suddenly become seriously ill without any warning? He fell ill overnight? He stepped down overnight? This is too much of a coincidence."
"Shh. Don't spread this kind of thing indiscriminately. The crime of spreading rumors is very serious. Things that have not been reported are not certain. Don't make random guesses, let alone say random things. You always insist on saying, Emperor Du It’s just that I’m overworked with the government affairs of New Kyushu. That’s what I think.”
"Yes, Emperor Du became seriously ill because of overwork."
“…”
Under the propaganda of the radio truck, all the people in Quancheng County were moved by the news and rushed out of the city one by one. This caused street congestion, and the armed forces had to be dispatched to organize public security and traffic.
Of course, there is no compulsory requirement whether you want to attend the ceremony or not.
It’s just that you can’t go through the East City Gate because the ceremony is at the East City Gate. You can only take the south gate, west gate, or north gate.
If you want to see the whole thing, you need to arrive under the east gate tower before eight o'clock.
Who doesn’t want to see this kind of scene? The country is changing kings, and the second oldest prince in the world, "Prince Xun", is finally going to become a regular king. Who doesn't want to witness this with his own eyes
Those with small bicycles all rode their bicycles quickly towards the east gate, while those without bicycles trotted all the way there. As for driving, it is definitely impossible. All streets are full of people, and driving is definitely not as fast as walking.
About half past seven.
Li Zhen, who was waiting for breakfast with a group of people from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, saw government staff arriving in a hurry.
"Dean Li, deans, please move to the east gate tower. All preparations are in place."
Li Zhen put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Let's go."
When they went out, the motorcade had all opened their doors and parked, and teams of soldiers in full armor were guarding the surroundings. There are armed soldiers standing on this main road. All the roads in Quancheng County are full of people, except this road.
Because this road leads to the east gate, there is the Quancheng County Government Building, the Quancheng Hotel, and the VIP reception office on this road.
The journey was smooth, and we reached the tower at 7:50.
The city tower was already filled with all the senior officials of the Kyushu Party and all the military generals of New Kyushu. Everyone was dressed somberly, standing with their hands hanging down and their heads lowered. No one whispered to each other, they just stood there.
Everyone at the Kyushu Academy of Sciences only has eyes, no ears, and no mouth.
But all the high-ranking officials of the Jiuzhou Party only have ears, no eyes, and no mouths.
Everyone knows that today is only Xun Shifei's stage.
He doesn’t need you to say anything to suit him. He just needs you to applaud when it’s time to applaud, vote when it’s time to vote, and say praises with a smile on your face when it’s time to say praises. This set is all tacitly understood and does not require design.
Of course, if you say something that goes against the "collective will," then you'll be in trouble. If anyone were to dismantle this situation today, I'm afraid it wouldn't be something you can take on alone.
Therefore, no one dares to speak too much, as speaking too much will lead to mistakes. If you say a wrong word, the reckoning will come. But Xun Shifei is impatient and will have to take care of you before autumn.
Li Zhen and his entourage came to the city tower, and the senior officials of the Kyushu Party quickly smiled and nodded to them. Li Zhen also nodded in return. Even greeting each other is just a nod, which shows the seriousness of the atmosphere.
Looking down at the city tower, I saw a crowd of people and a lot of people downstairs. All the people were whispering among themselves, probably hundreds of thousands of them.
Next to Li Zhen, Ge Qingping sighed and lowered his voice: "This is really a deep pool with no bottom."
Li Zhen glanced at him and said nothing.
Ge Qingping added: "Human beings are always full of ambition and greed. They always want to control more interests. Greed and ambition are the origins of wars, wars between individuals, wars between parties, wars between countries, and wars between countries. .When will this world be truly peaceful?"
Li Zhen turned around and said: "Mr. Ge, greed is the bad nature of human beings. But I have to say that greed and ambition are actually the driving force for human progress."
"Yes. This is a double-edged sword. It can make mankind progress, and it can also make mankind perish."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows: "How about the destruction of mankind."
"The sorrow of the world ten thousand years ago... Xun Shifei became a regular official, which just makes me sigh. What I am actually more afraid of now is Du Taiping's previous war against four countries. This kind of war between countries is actually the same as the war between countries. The wars between Xun Shifei and Du Taiping are too similar. The purposes seem to be different, but in the final analysis they are just for profit and greed. Li Zhen, science and technology are advancing now. If one day weapons become more and more powerful, those countries will also have When we are unable to fight back, will the world repeat the history of 10,000 years ago under another war?"
After Ge Qingping finished speaking, he looked at the prosperity of Quancheng County with a sad look: "You see, the world has the dawn of hope, and it is becoming better every day. These are all created by us, and I don't want to see us What was created by one hand was destroyed.”
Li Zhen said: "They will not be destroyed easily."
"If it is not prevented early, it will come soon. Because what we have created is not only this beautiful world, but also increasingly powerful weapons. Greed is a double-edged sword, and technology is actually a Double-edged sword. The combination of two double-edged swords will produce a terrible chemical reaction. How strong this reaction is, whether it can explode the entire experimental beaker, is unpredictable. I just know that this world is in a It was restarted once thousands of years ago... I don't want it to be fragile and continue to restart."
Li Zhen closed his eyes: "I don't want to either. I'm going too far. Let's not talk about it for now. Xun Shifei is here..."
