Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a fun day of playing, we returned to the Golden Palace at dawn the next morning.  "You still know how to come back?" Lan Luo said to Tianming with an unwavering expression on his face.  Tianming ignored her and sat on the seat in the center of the living room.  There were twenty or thirty people sitting in the living room, some of whom were his children, and some of whom were officials from the empire.  The topic of discussion is still about selecting the heir to the empire, that is, determining the next emperor of the Tianming Empire.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????After spending the first few years of enthusiasm to guide the country, the rest is basically a kind of suffering.  This is indeed not a job that ordinary people can do. Even though Tianming handed over all civil affairs to the imperial prime minister, he had relatively little involvement in the three departments of science and education, justice, and finance. Only the military department was completely under his control.  There are too many affairs, because the army is also a small society. Soldiers also need food, drink, and supplies and money to maintain These large and small matters all require decision-making in the morning, and there are so many things to deal with.  Even though he later set up a military headquarters to take charge of military issues, for the sake of absolute stability, he still needed to make big decisions.  It doesn't matter if he is busy at work. The main reason is that his freedom is a bit restricted. It's fine if he disappears for three to five days. If he disappears for more than a month at a time, the empire may be in chaos. People's hearts will fluctuate, he will act rashly, and everything can happen.  may happen.  After all, this empire.  One person is needed to maintain stability.  "But Tian Ming is really tired of being an emperor, and he even feels like he is binding his own hands and feet, and he can't escape.  Unless he quits.  He really didn¡¯t want to do it anymore.  There is the idea of ????stepping down to make way for others.  The ministers of the imperial cabinet were shocked and persuaded one after another, "Your Majesty is still very young. There is no problem in working for another fifty years. Why are you in such a hurry to abdicate?" Tianming explained: "I have been emperor for almost forty years. According to the regulations,  , It¡¯s time to retire. Moreover, the princes and princesses are now mature, and it¡¯s time to move to a higher level. " What Tianming said is true.  Different from his uncontested character, the princes and princesses who are already in their thirties and forties are young, strong and ambitious, and most of them are trying to transform the empire.  The idea of ??expanding the territory of the empire.  ¡°Take my son Xinghe as an example.  It was only five years since he defeated the Wuka Star invasion fleet, and he petitioned Tianming, hoping that the empire would immediately prepare an expedition fleet to conquer nearby galaxies, and even hoped to expand the territory of the empire from one star system to another within ten years.  to ten.  Tianming doesn¡¯t quite agree with this idea.  The empire's population and army are still relatively small, so it is better to cultivate for a while.  After accumulating enough strength, then set out to conquer the surrounding galaxies within ten years, it is a bit too hasty.  Xinghe advised: "Dad, there is no need to send a lot of troops. Now the empire has developed more advanced B-class battleships, equipped with psychic main guns. They are extremely powerful. As long as a hundred ships, they can sweep away a Wuka army."  The Star Fleet can complete this task by building a thousand ships, which is only one-tenth of the Empire's military strength. Why wait until it has accumulated enough strength? " "Is the Empire's fleet only enough?  Only 15 million soldiers." "We can expand the army, dad. The population growth rate of the Blue Stars in recent years has been extremely terrifying. It has now exceeded 2 billion, which is ten times that of 20 years ago. They are members of the empire!  , are also excellent crew members. There is no problem in recruiting 10 to 20 million soldiers from them. " "This" Tianming couldn't convince him in the end, so he gave him a higher military position and asked him to take charge of this matter.  Of course Xinghe is not the only one who is ambitious, there are also Xingyun, Xingyu, Chongchong, Chengcheng, Xiaotian They all have plans for their future and ideas about changing the empire.  Regarding the imperial throne, even if Tianming does not intend to take the throne, he still has to identify a formal heir to the empire. A smooth transition of imperial power is the best way to maintain peace and stability in the empire before he abdicates.  But with so many princes and princesses, who would be better to choose to inherit this empire?  Of course, choose the most suitable one.  The imperial prince Xu Xingchen is undoubtedly the best candidate to inherit this empire.  The reason is very simple.  One, Xiaolong is the eldest among Tianming¡¯s children, the eldest son, and has the priority to inherit.  Of the two, Xiaolong¡¯s personality is the most similar to Tianming¡¯s. He is very measured in dealing with people, treats people well, is aboveboard, has leadership and enterprising spirit, and is very popular in the empire.   It would be great if the throne was passed to Prince Xiaolong.  However, what surprised everyone was that Prince Xiao Long did not want to be an emperor, but wanted to be an interstellar traveler and wanted to travel and explore various galaxies.  Not only that, over the years, he has also set up a special interstellar exploration team to find places worth exploring, formulate star map routes, research and design exploration spacecraft, and prepare to go to the vast universe to see the world.  This idea was opposed by everyone except himself.  Especially his wife Ren Jia, she quarreled with him almost every day, trying hard to persuade him not to go outside to explore But it was all to no avail. Xiaolong seemed to be determined and wanted to go out and make a living.  His wife went to Tianming and cried several times. Tianming called Xiaolong over, looked at him and said, "To be honest, do you really plan to be an interstellar traveler?" Xiaolong nodded solemnly, "Yes, the universe is so big.  I want to take a look. " "If I pass the imperial throne to you, will you change your mind?" Tianming looked into Xiaolong's eyes.  Xiaolong shook his head, "No, I'm not interested in the throne, and I don't like it either." Tianming stared at his eyes for several seconds, but still didn't see any wavering. Instead, he saw a firm yearning for his dream. Suddenly  She laughed happily, "Xiaolong, go if you want to. Dad supports you." Meng Xinyi and Ren Jia were shocked. How could Tianming agree to something as dangerous as interstellar exploration?  "You idiot, you are crazy! Xiaolong is our son!" Meng Xinyi stared at Tianming with wide eyes. Xiaolong is her son, the meat that fell from her body. How could she be willing to let Xiaolong go on a dangerous adventure outside?  Ren Jia knelt down in front of Tian Ming and said with tears in her eyes: "Dad, please persuade Xiaolong to change his mind! He is my husband and the father of my three children. We don't want him to leave us! Dad  , please!¡± This gave Tianming a headache. Xiaolong was his son, and of course he didn¡¯t want his son to encounter any danger outside.  But Xiaolong has been a very persistent person since he was a child. If he believes in something, he will definitely do it, such as interstellar travel. Xiaolong has been preparing for this trip for more than ten years and it is about to take place. How could he do it?  Choose to give up?  It¡¯s impossible for him to give up without going out to explore the outside world.  No one can stop it.  So Tianming can only support it.  It¡¯s just that the woman¡¯s hair is long and the man can¡¯t let her go. She also has three children. They are three big mountains that stand in front of Xiaolong.  In the end, Tian Ming was too annoyed to care anymore. No matter what decision he made, he would support it. ??¡­????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Are equivalent to Xiao Long giving up the throne, even though he still wears the title of prince, he has basically no chance of the throne It is his own choice.  So, which prince will inherit the empire has become a thorny issue.   Sitting in his seat, he glanced at the nervous and expectant people present. Tianming pondered for half a minute and said: "The position of successor to the emperor of the empire should be inherited by Xinghe. After I retire, military and national affairs will  , leave it to Xinghe, and the other brothers and sisters will help and assist in maintaining the empire. " Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in understanding. Among the princes, only Xinghe is more suitable to take on the important task of governing the empire.  Xinghe stood up in excitement and panic, and said to Tianming: "Father, I am still young and incapable of managing the empire. You should choose someone else to inherit the throne of the empire." "Okay, stop being so modest.  Whether you do it well or not, it¡¯s just a job. You just need to remember: this right represents a responsibility and an obligation, not a tool to do whatever you want. If you are not competent, someone will  Come and take your place." Hearing these warning words, two drops of cold sweat broke out on Xinghe's head, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand, father." Seeing Xiaofeng and the others, they didn't seem very happy.  Tianming added: "Xiaofeng, Xiaoyun, Xiaoyu, don't be unhappy. There is only one throne in the empire, but there are countless planets outside. The empire in the future will not only have a small territory like Blue Mercury.  You will get what you want." Xinghe also stood up and promised at the right time, "Sister, brother, sister, we are a family. Don't worry, the empire will conquer the territory of countless galaxies in the future. By then, you want that galaxy!  , tell me, I will definitely find a way to defeat it for you." Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "There is no need for a younger brother. The elder sister will take over the territory she wants. You just need to allow her to have a force of her own.  " "No problem, sister!  " What Xiaofeng wants is nothing more than an army of her own. This is not a big problem, as long as the development direction of this army is always towards the outside of the empire. " Of course, this will cause certain divisions and divisions in the empire.  Internal competition affects unity and stability But it is far better than constant civil strife and killing each other for the sake of a throne. Just like doing business, if the inheritance of one store is not enough, then find a way to turn one store into two stores.  Three stores, ten thousand stores There are too many stores, are you worried that there are not enough points? As for the problem of not being able to lose the number, come on, this is the interstellar era. There are trillions of stars in just one galaxy, and there are hundreds of billions more outside.  Galaxy, if you have the guts to win a galaxy first (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
