interstellar fairy tale

Chapter 181

When the Marshal of the Empire, Novi Yuga, the lord of the Holhold galaxy, arrived at the Ivan Palace to attend the annual lord meeting, the galaxy Qisanna on the border of the Golden Empire underwent terrible changes. Suddenly, a medium-sized A total of 670 people, including the lords of the galaxy, government officials and family members, were all killed by the mob!All officers and soldiers of the Galaxy Fleet lost their news.The riots are still going on, and Qisanna has cut off all contact with the outside world.

The terrible news shook the upper echelons of the empire.Although the huge territory is doomed to the breeding of some ambitious people, but this kind of thing happened in Qisanna can almost be called the Arabian Nights!

The lords of Kissana are the House Mani, who have rooted in the system since before it belonged to the Empire.This family is rich in wisdom and has the purest bloodline of the natives of the Kissana galaxy. It has ruled this rich galaxy on the border of the empire for hundreds of generations, and has waited for the support of the people without dispute.

The lord Aiwa Mani who died in the turmoil was even more known as a modest gentleman. He loved poetry and music more than blood and conquest.Aiwa Mani never used harsh criminal laws to treat the people under his rule, and he also strictly restrained the star officials. He was even called "the good man Aiwa".For other galaxy lords on the border of the empire known for their armies and warships, it is extremely ridiculous that such a man rules the important defense satellite system Qisanna on the border.If it weren't for the Mani family stationed in Qisanna for generations, and each generation of family members has led the Qisanna galaxy fleet to expand the territory for the empire and guard the border, Soran Edrich would never allow such an indecisive person to sit on the lord's throne.Even Aiwa's 14-year-old younger brother is more suitable for this position than him.

However, even such a lord who was kinder than anyone else, even cowardly, died under the rule of Aiwa Mani, who was known for his gentle methods in the riots of the people, and the riots of the people would happen Not long ago, the Qisanna government just reduced the galaxy tax!

No matter who it is, this is an extremely incredible thing.

When Novi entered the chamber, several lords had already arrived.They are the Lord of Sesha, Harlan Edrich.Grega Harminia, Lord of Nored, Komi, Lord of Josan, Ida, Lord of Popang, Metz, Lord of Revana, and Giovanna Delle, Lord of Namu.

Although most of the lords have not yet arrived, all the people here are enough to represent the various camps of the galaxy lords within the empire's territory.

Harlan Edrich, who was born in the royal family, and Ida and Metz, who have followed Soran Edrich since the prince's time, are all pivotal figures in the imperial fleet, while Giovanna Delle and Grega Ha Although Minya has gradually moved away from the center of imperial power, it should not be underestimated.They represent the old-fashioned nobles of the empire. Although the power and wealth of these old-style nobles have been continuously compressed during the years of Solan II's reign, the foundations of the Dere family, the Harminia family and several other major families have never been shaken.Komi, the lord of Qiaosang, represents a considerable part of the forces in between.As for Novi himself, when he separated from Heine III and stood behind Soran Edrich, his position was already doomed.

Norred Lord Grega Harminia is a grizzled but hale and hearty old man.He has a very deep friendship with Giovanna de Lie. Perhaps this friendship is also based on interests, but it is an indisputable fact that the Harminia family and the De Lie family have intermarried for generations.Even though the two families are now far away from the political center of the empire, no one dares to underestimate them.

If you look at people with your chin up, one day you will be stepped on by others.

This proverb, which has been handed down since the time of Heine I, has been proven countless times.

The decoration of the meeting room is not luxurious, but the sofa seats around the long round table are comfortable enough.On the wall facing the long table, there are golden and black flags that symbolize the imperial family and the fleet. The fiery red patterns on the flags always imply power and dictatorship.The portrait of the emperor hanging under the flag adds a touch of bright color to the chill and harshness.Even though this handsome emperor with silver hair and blue eyes is holding an imperial scepter and a sharp sword in his hands, people are still looking at his incomparable beauty and elegance the first time.

Novi first paid attention to Harlan Edrich and Ida, and then walked to Metz and sat down.Of course, out of politeness, it was absolutely impossible for him to ignore Grega and Giovanna who were sitting across from each other. Polite greetings and appropriate inquiries should be done on such occasions.

"Has anyone else arrived yet?"

Novi asked, this kind of social rhetoric is what almost every lord would ask after entering the chamber, polite, and with just enough affinity.

"Most people are here, but it's still a while before the meeting, isn't it?"

Admiral Metz's character can feel elusive at times, not in terms of intelligence or cunning, in fact.This tiger-like general on the battlefield always makes people who are not familiar with him feel a little at a loss when getting along with others.That doesn't include Novi, though.Compared with Metz, Admiral Ida and Admiral Harlan are better at getting along with people like Novi.They are all loyal to His Majesty, no matter what position they stood on before or what their principles are, it doesn't matter.

"Do you already know what happened not long ago?"

To Novi's surprise, Grega looked at him with a pleasant face.The lord of the Harminia family would always dislike Novi's style, even though they maintained a superficial peace.Grega, who was born in an old-fashioned aristocratic family, but devoted most of his life to the Imperial Fleet, has the character of an upright soldier.

"You mean about Qisanna?" Novi immediately caught the point of Grega's words, "Yes, I already know, it's really unfortunate."

"Although Aiwa Mani is cowardly and cannot be called a qualified border lord of the empire, he is a good person."

Lord Josan Komi sighed.This lord with long blue hair and amber eyes is extremely disproportionate to his handsome and slender appearance, because of his iron-blooded wrist and merciless treatment of the enemy.

"Indeed, Aiwa is a good person."

Admiral Ida nodded.He and Komi had worked together in the army, and although they were not friends, they could be called familiar.Their evaluation of Aiwa Mani is very similar, or it should be said that all soldiers of the empire look down on Aiwa Mani's character.After all, "good guy" is really not a compliment for an imperial border lord.If Aiwa Mani were an ordinary galaxy lord, his character and governing style would be greatly appreciated.But he is the lord who guards the border of the empire, iron blood and military style are necessary.However, even though they don't like Aiwa's character, it doesn't mean they are not indignant about what happened to Qisanna.

"What does Your Majesty say?"

"It is estimated that troops will be sent to conquer."

This is to be expected.However, just because the lord is weak does not mean that the galaxy fleet will also be soft-legged shrimp.It is not an exaggeration to call the Qisanna galaxy fleet capable of defending the borders of the empire for a long time.And there is no news about the Qisanna Galaxy Fleet so far, which is a bit strange.

"So, has the cause of this riot been found out?"

"There is no accurate information at present, but the Mani family must bear part of the responsibility for such a thing."

"Indeed. Aiwa Mani is dead, and his younger brother committed suicide. The generation of the Mani family is already withered. His Majesty may send a new lord to Qisanna..."

Hearing Harlan Aldrich's words, everyone present couldn't help but fell silent. No matter who it is, a galaxy like Qisanna is a great temptation.

Qisanna is rich and occupies an important position on the border of the empire.No lord would reject such a galaxy.

Not only the lords in the conference hall were discussing Qisanna, Shang Ping, who had just returned to Ivan's summer palace, was also frowning at the information in his hand.

"what happened?"

Soran Edrich walked to the bed, and hugged Shang Ping, who was half lying on the bed and whose black hair was still a little damp.Shang Ping had just taken a shower, and his body still smelled refreshing after a bath.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Shang Ping followed Solan Edrich's strength and turned over, leaned on the emperor's shoulder, and rubbed the white silk shirt comfortably. The cool and smooth touch made his skin that was still a little hot and dry very comfortable.

He didn't lie on the bed on purpose, but the emperor just had an in-depth discussion with him about the incident of "running away from home without authorization" not long ago. Shang Ping couldn't take it anymore.

"Do it as usual." Soran Edrich rubbed the top of Shang Ping's hair, sliding his white fingers on Shang Ping's neck, "If you do something wrong, you must be punished."

Shang Ping grabbed the hand that had been inserted into his shirt, and his tone was a little stiff, "Your Majesty, wait a moment and there is a lord meeting!"

"You can make them wait."

"Do you want to be a fool?"

"Is this your hope?"

Soran Edrich embraced Shang Ping with one hand, and kissed Shang Ping's earlobe.

"Seriously, Your Majesty, don't you find this a bit strange?"

"strangeness?"

"Yeah." Shang Ping grabbed out his hand that had been stuck into the skirt of his shirt again, and simply hugged it tightly, so that he could have a chance to speak properly, "This happened so suddenly, it can kill the lords and officials of a galaxy. All massacres, without any warning in advance, can be done only by rioting people? And where did Qisanna's fleet go? Even if the whole mutiny, it will not be like disappearing without any trace. If it is It is a joke that the rioting leaders were wiped out. There have been leader rebellions or civil riots before, but none of them are like Qisanna, which is too strange."

Soran Edrich quietly listened to Shang Ping's analysis, and nodded. It's not that he didn't notice these doubts, but his strength made him completely ignore them.Any conspiracy will disappear in the face of absolute strength.

"No matter what, there is only one result of betrayal."

"Even if it's full of doubts?"

"Sometimes, when doing things, you only need to think about getting the results as soon as possible, rather than exploring the reasons why things happen."

Solan Edrich put his arms around Shang Ping, raised Shang Ping's chin with one hand, lowered his head, and put Shang Ping's lips in his mouth, "I'll give you this galaxy when the rebellion subsides, okay?"

Shang Ping narrowed his eyes, hugged the emperor's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Then, let me command the anti-insurgency fleet."

"...don't even think about it."

"Your Majesty, you will promise me, promise me, huh?"

Shang Ping pushed Solan Edrich down on the bed with a slight smile, and slid one knee over the emperor's thin waist. The smile in his brown eyes continued to deepen, and his red lips fell on the tip of the emperor's nose...

The lords in the meeting hall arrived one after another, until an hour after the last lord was seated, the emperor still disappeared.When the lords were discussing, the court attendant waited expressionlessly outside the emperor's bedroom door. He glanced at his pocket watch for the 120th time, and weighed the result of "let the lords continue to wait" or "disturb the emperor and queen" which is more serious After that, as if nothing had happened, he put down the hand that was about to knock on the door.
