Jiang Si, a powerful big shot from the apocalypse, perishes with the Zombie Emperor and transmigrates to Abel Interstellar.
The population of the Abel star system has been continuously declin...
Relos was embraced by it, gaining a brief moment of respite. Leaning against it, he slightly raised his hand and hugged Bo Jichen back, his voice muffled: "Thank you..."
Bo Jichen raised his hand and vigorously rubbed the back of his head, opening his mouth to express his love and submission: "No need to thank Leilos, being with you is the greatest joy and the greatest honor of my life."
"You don't need to thank me. You just need to be yourself and stand there. No matter where I am, I will see you, I will love you, and I will be your support."
It never hesitates to give its love; its affection is fervent, bright, and as radiant as the sunshine, bringing warmth and hope to people.
It prefers to keep things from everyone in the galaxy, but it insists that those it wants to know.
If someone doesn't know what it likes, it will patiently tell them over and over again until they do, and it will also tell them that its affection and joy for them will grow day by day.
It will make him feel loved at all times, and feel that even if there is no one else around him, he can see it when he turns around. Others may leave, but it will never leave.
Relos took a deep breath, pulled away from Bo Jichen's embrace, tears glistening in his eyes: "I understand. Let's go, see my father, and help me take Agares away."
Bo Jichen gazed at him and hummed in agreement, then followed behind him to see His Majesty the Emperor, who had returned from the Central Hospital, now bedridden, pale-faced, and looking aged.
Agares sat beside him, the little man looking at the book, his voice crisp as he told stories to His Majesty the Emperor.
The Empress stood to one side, and Lei Luo came over. The family of four were together. Ignoring the Emperor's frail health, they were a perfectly happy family.
After Agares finished telling the story, His Majesty the Emperor glanced at Relos, his eyes red, and stepped forward, whispering to Agares, "Agares, Brother Chenchen has arrived. Could you go and greet him for him, and show him around your room, our home, please?"
Agares, a child not yet four years old, knew that something big was about to happen amidst the dull atmosphere of the past few days, but his father and mother told him to listen to his older brother.
His older brother asked him to show Brother Chen around his room and home, so he closed the book, hugged it to his chest, stood up, and said obediently and politely, "Okay, brother. Father and Mother, you two rest well. I'll take Brother Chen to show you my room."
The Queen, her eyes red and glistening with tears, reached out and touched him, then kissed him. Her voice choked with emotion, filled with reluctance, she said, "Agares is such a good boy. Mommy loves you, and Daddy loves you too. You must be good, listen to your brother, and love your brother."
Agares nodded heavily, her obedient manner softening one's heart: "Yes, Mother and Father, I listen to my brother the most, love my brother the most, and also love Mother and Father the most."
His Majesty the Emperor lay on the bed and stretched out his hand.
Agares was gently nudged by the Queen, who said, "Let your father touch you."
Agares responded with a "yes," then nestled her head into His Majesty's hand, nuzzling it gently and obediently.
His Majesty the Emperor patted his head and his face, looking at him with loving eyes: "Grow up well and listen to your brother, Agares."
Agares smiled brightly, leaned forward, kissed His Majesty the Emperor, and promised him, "Father, I will grow up well, grow into a man, and protect you, protect Mother, and protect my brother."
His Majesty's eyes reddened instantly. He was still so young; he wouldn't have time to see him grow up before he had to leave him.
The collapse of mental strength and the mutation and collapse of genes are beyond the power of even an emperor with the best medical equipment, the best doctors, and the best medicine. He cannot defy fate.
His body was deteriorating rapidly, like a dam bursting, and it was out of control. It took almost all his strength to reach out and touch Agares, let alone hug him.
Agares' physical and mental abilities were the best in his family in hundreds of years. He longed to see him grow up, to be more outstanding and stronger than him, but unfortunately, he could not see it, he would never see it again. He could only leave with this regret.
Bo Jichen picked up Agares and bowed to His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor saw it and smiled slightly: "Bo, I hope you will achieve great things in the military, establish yourself in the military, and become the Marshal of Relos."
Bo Jichen lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, "I will definitely become his marshal within 10 years. I will definitely be his strong support and live up to your expectations."
His Majesty the Emperor has seen Bo Jichen's resume; he signed his secret file. He is a genius, an all-around genius in military affairs.
His physical strength, mental fortitude, special abilities, and intelligence and cunning are unmatched by ordinary people; he is a foreseeable candidate for marshal.
During his first four years at the military academy, he was on missions every year, each mission more dangerous than the last. The military merits he earned led to his promotion to the rank of senior colonel.
His Majesty the Emperor blinked gently: "I believe in you. You will definitely become a marshal within 10 years. However, I have one more request."
Holding Agares in his arms, Bo Jichen knelt by the bedside. He showed the utmost respect to Relos's parents, speaking with utmost deference and humility: "You said..."
His Majesty the Emperor's gaze fell on Agares in his arms: "Lei, you are an excellent child. I hope that you can become Agares' teacher in the future, so that he can be as excellent as you, protect the Troia Empire, and support his brother."
When a person is about to die, there are always so many regrets. Even an emperor is no exception. He always wants to worry about his children and wants to arrange their entire lives.
Bo Jichen glanced at Lei Luosi, whose eyes were red. He was holding back his sadness and tears: "I promise you, I will raise him with Lei Luosi. In the future, whatever I know, he will know, and whatever I don't know, I will learn and teach him."
"Rest assured, your two sons, now and in the future, will become extremely outstanding individuals and will definitely lead your empire to new heights."
His Majesty the Emperor suddenly smiled: "Thank you, thank you..."
He had no one to rely on; the Elders' Council, the nobility, and the Council of Representatives were all bloodsuckers. Only the military had some influence and supported him.
Bo Jichen is an orphan and a classmate and friend of Leilos. Leilos fully supports him. If he becomes a marshal and takes control of the military, Leilos will have absolute power in the future.
If Agares grows up to be more sensible and ambitious, their royal family won't suffer the same constant pressure as he has, and they will become more assertive.
Bo Jichen said "No need to thank me" several times, then carried Agares out.
After they went outside, Agares hugged Bo Jichen's neck tightly and rested her head on his shoulder: "Brother Chenchen, is my father going to die?"
Children are very sensitive. In the past few days, the entire palace has been shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. All the guards, maids, nurses, doctors, and therapists coming and going can make him feel that his father's life is slipping away.
Just like it says in the book, only when someone is about to die will so many people come, and only then will the mother and brother look somber and unable to even smile.
Bo Jichen patted his back, using the most straightforward and simple words to comfort and tell him: "Yes, Agares, your father wants to live a different life, to be the clouds in the sky, to be the wind that blows, to be the stream in the mountain."
Agares' voice was muffled, with a hint of naivety: "Will my father be happy?"
Bo Jichen answered without hesitation: "Of course, he will be free to be happy, joyful, and laugh, but Agares will never see him again."
Agares' innocent voice was tinged with a crisp sadness and resilience: "As long as Father is happy, it's okay if I don't see him or see him less often."
Bo Jichen patted him and nodded, "Agares is such a good boy, so sensible. If there's anything you can't solve in the future, you can tell your teacher, and your teacher will help you solve it."
Its original plan was to teach Agares.
It and Relos will not have children. Relos has a strong sense of responsibility, guarding his star system and his kingdom. Agarega, the second in line to the throne, will inherit the throne sooner or later. Only by raising him well will Relos be happy.
Agares replied, "Okay, teacher."
Bo Jichen kissed him, praised him for being so good, and carried him to visit his room and stroll around the palace.
After Agares left, His Majesty the Emperor lay on his bed, gazing at his son, who was more outstanding than himself and whom he was satisfied with. He did his utmost to give him all the advice he could think of.
Leilos knelt by the bedside, tears welling in his eyes, tightly holding the Emperor's hand. He carefully remembered every word and phrase the Emperor spoke, etching them into his heart.
His Majesty the Emperor spoke at length, and finally said to the Empress with deep regret, "I'm sorry, Ranya, I have to go first. Please take good care of yourself. Agares is still so young."
The Empress nestled in his arms, tears streaming silently down her face. "I will be alright, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I will raise him well."
Upon hearing her words, His Majesty the Emperor's lips curled slightly, a tear sliding down his cheek, his expression a mixture of relief and exhaustion: "That's good. You all need to be well, you must all be well..."
He reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, but his raised hand fell halfway down, and his open eyes closed...
With his mental strength collapsing and his genes mutating and collapsing, it is a miracle that His Majesty the Emperor has survived to this day.
The miracle vanished, and he left this world with many regrets and much joy, leaving behind his children, his lover, and his home.
His heart stopped beating, all the instruments stopped working, and the empress lay in his arms. Because of her status, she could not cry loudly or break down in tears.
She cried silently for a long, long time before slowly sitting up, taking out a handkerchief, wiping her tears, standing up, going into the inner room, changing into a beautiful navy blue dress, putting on exquisite makeup, and then coming out.
Relos, fighting back tears, his nose and eyes red, looked at the Empress and said, "Mother, your dress is very beautiful."
The Queen forced a smile, walked up to him, and twirled around. "This is your father's favorite color. I promised him I would take good care of Agareth as he grew up, but I broke my promise. Wearing a dress in his favorite color to see him shouldn't make him angry, right?"
Leilos blinked hard, tears welling up in his eyes. He wiped them away forcefully and replied to the Empress with a smile, "That's right, Mother, if you wear a dress in his favorite color to see him, go find him, he won't be angry."
Even though his mother had told him long ago that she would not live on her own if his father died, now he had to watch her go to his father.
He... he could only be understanding, he could only tell his mother that she could do whatever she wanted, and that he, as her son, would support every choice she made.
The Empress, her eyes brimming with tears, smiled happily, "I think so too. Your father will definitely not be angry with me if he sees me like this."
Relos nodded: "Yes..."
"Thank you, Relos, my son." Before he could finish speaking, the Queen stepped forward and hugged him, saying with deep apology, "I'm sorry, Relos. I am a weak person, a person who puts love above all else. I cannot imagine life without your father."
“Your father is dead, and my heart is breaking. I can’t bear to part with you, I can’t bear to part with Agares, but your father is dead, and I really can’t go on living.”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Relos. Agares is still so young. I was so selfish to leave him with you. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
The empress was a noblewoman who was pampered since childhood, living a carefree and innocent life. She met the emperor through a blind date and fell in love with him at first sight.
It just so happens that His Majesty the Emperor also likes her and marries her. For His Majesty the Emperor, she tries her best to be a good Empress, a noble and independent Empress.
She herself knew clearly, understood clearly, and comprehended that all her nobility and independence stemmed from His Majesty the Emperor's love for her.
She lacks neither money nor power, she lacks nothing. She is a woman who lives on love. As long as the man she loves loves her and the man she loves is alive, she can do anything and will do anything.
But once this man leaves, once she loses him, she is like a flower without soil, a fish pulled ashore, unable to breathe, withering quickly, unable to live, unable to live on her own.
Leilos tried hard not to shed tears. His mother was gentle, virtuous, noble and elegant. Whenever she attended important events with his father, the emperor, whether with other countries or within his own, his mother always stood out in terms of clothing and appearance.
His mother was also his father's confidante, able to cook all kinds of natural and delicious food, and took very good care of his father.
In his spare time, his father would plant flowers for her in the garden. When the flowers bloomed, his father would cut the most beautiful ones and spend half an hour wrapping them into a gift for his mother.
Sometimes, after finishing his official business late at night, his father would hold his mother's hand, and the two would take a walk from the office back to their bedroom.
When he was a child, his mother would take care of him, and his father would also participate. They would chat at the dinner table like ordinary families, talking about the interesting things that happened during the day.
His father would often buy gifts for his mother and make her handicrafts: a handkerchief, a hair tie, a beautiful tablecloth, a beautiful spoon, a beautiful bowl—all full of love, all special, all unique.
Leilos closed his eyes, reached out and hugged his mother, choking back tears as he comforted her: "It's alright, Mother. You are a brave person. You are not weak at all."
“You are good, you are very good, you are a wonderful mother. You don’t need to worry about Agares. I will raise him the same way you raised me.”
“I will not let him lack any love. You love me as much as I love him. You don’t need to worry or blame yourself.”
"I respect every decision you make just as you respect every choice I make. Mom, I love you, and I hope you can be happy."
He wanted her to be happy, just as she wanted him to be happy.
If she feels that following her father is happiness and joy, then he will support her.
He wouldn't blame her, nor would he think she was irresponsible.
Agares is still young, and he will take care of him. When he grows up and becomes sensible, he will tell him everything, and he believes he can understand.
The queen stopped crying and smiled, releasing him: "Thank you, thank you, Relos, thank you, my son. Go and get your mother a glass of water; she's a little thirsty."
She said she was thirsty and asked him to get her some water. Of course, Relos knew that she was going to commit suicide and didn't want him watching.
Leilos had already promised to respect her every choice, and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice: "Yes, Mother, wait for me, I'll go get you some water."
He couldn't bear to part with her, he couldn't keep her. He stared at her as he retreated, retreated, and retreated again, until he had nowhere left to go at the door. He memorized her voice and appearance, kept them in his heart, and then hardened his heart, turned around, and stepped out the door.
Less than half an hour later, the royal family issued an obituary announcing that His Majesty the Emperor and Empress had passed away due to mental breakdown and genetic mutation.
The announcement of the obituary caused an uproar not only among the more than 2 billion people of the Troia Empire, but also among the people of the Fourth Civilization, the Federation's Merfolk, and the Orcs.
They only heard that His Majesty the Emperor of the Troia Empire was unwell and had been admitted to the hospital, and that he might die in the next few days, but they did not hear that the Empress was unwell.
The simultaneous deaths of the two individuals seemed unusual, prompting some overly speculative conspiracy theorists to comment online: "Why did the Empress of the Troia Empire die without warning when His Majesty the Emperor died? Was the Troia Imperial family kidnapped by the nobles of the Council of Elders?"
"Do they think that if the Empress is alive, it will be difficult to control the new heir, Crown Prince Relos?"
"According to statistical analysis, the Troia Empire's royal family has not had much say in recent years. The nobles, the council of elders, and the council are considering abolishing the royal family's power, abolishing the monarchy, and realizing a multi-party system."
"Take the news that the Troia Empire's royal family released these past few days about His Majesty the Emperor's poor health, for example. There are quite a few people stirring up trouble and clamoring for the abolition of the monarchy."
"A smart person can guess who these people who are manipulating public opinion are. Of course, there is also a group of ordinary people with no special abilities who are being used as pawns to clamor online for the abolition of the monarchy and the implementation of multi-party governance."
"These people seem to be brainless. Originally, the royal family was in power and the nobles were in charge. The Council of Elders and the Senate have become increasingly greedy, wanting to squeeze out the royal family, realize a multi-party system, and seize real power for themselves."
"The royal family has never won in this power struggle; it has always been balancing, trying to balance the various forces and striving to regain independent power while weakening the forces of other powers."
"The person upstairs is right. Looking back over the years, the royal family has not been involved in any scandals. Everyone has been self-disciplined and restrained. On the contrary, the relatives, children, or even the members of the nobility, the elders, and the council have been involved in many scandals."
“Every time a scandal breaks out, they habitually use power and money to suppress the victims, forcing them to accept their money and their pressure to apologize.”
"I've done a rough count, and in the last 10 years, there have been 80 cases involving nobles, members of the Senate, and members of the Council who are related to them."
"Among the more than 80 cases, there were all sorts of things, such as flying vehicles, street racing, molesting women in the street, kidnapping young girls, embezzlement and bribery, and shoddy construction projects. They were all found as soon as they were investigated."
"On the other hand, the biggest public relations scandal for the Troia Empire's royal family was the lack of heirs. The council of nobles and elders jointly submitted a petition, saying that in order to ensure the number of heirs, the Troia Empire's royal family should restore the system of one empress and multiple concubines, which is polygamy."
"Anyone with a brain knows that they don't want the royal family to restore polygamy; they want to use the royal family to set an example so that they can have multiple wives and concubines without incurring legal responsibility."
"Thankfully, His Majesty the Emperor did not heed his advice. However, His Majesty's actions have aroused the indignation of many people, who are now condemning him online. Thinking about it, who were those who condemned the Troia royal family? They were certainly not commoners, certainly not ordinary people with superpowers, and certainly not ordinary people without superpowers."
"They are all people with superpowers who have power, influence, and ability. Only these people have the ability to marry multiple wives and raise children. Ordinary people without superpowers or those with a little bit of superpowers have problems making a living and are struggling to survive. How could they possibly support extra children and wives?"
"It is evident that the Troia Empire's royal family has been working for the people, quietly and diligently. It's just that some people are easily manipulated by public opinion and brainwashed, becoming arrogant and believing that so-called nobles can be just like commoners, with everyone being equal."
Leilos knew nothing about or asked about the comments online, whether they were good or bad. In one day, he lost two relatives and only had one left. He had to be strong, he couldn't cry, he couldn't collapse.
Bo Jichen did not attend the school graduation ceremony. Instead, he received his employment certificate, became a senior colonel, joined the military, and, wearing his uniform, came to Lei Luosi's side to support him in handling the aftermath of the Empress and His Majesty's deaths.
The nobles, the council of elders, and the council of councils kept manipulating public opinion and causing trouble. Even with Bo Jichen following behind Lei Luos, he was not idle.
It used its superior information processing skills to transfer the money that it had previously discovered was hidden in other accounts by the shady dealings of nobles, elders, and council members to its own illicit accounts.
They also compiled a list of several explosive, targeted, and well-documented cases of what they had done and sent it to the prosecutor's office. By the way, they used remote control and a website in a no-man's-land to post their shady dealings online.
These shady dealings quickly spread online, prompting the procuratorate to establish a special task force. With conclusive evidence, the task force cooperated with the police to arrest and investigate the perpetrators.
Suddenly, those who wanted to get rid of Lei Luos began to feel insecure, became afraid, and started to panic, unable to do anything about it.
When His Majesty the Emperor and Empress were being laid to rest, Relos appeared on camera with his son Agares, who was not yet four years old, looking solemn. The 22-year-old youth still had such a youthful face, such a thin body, and red, swollen eyes full of sorrow.
Whether it was the people of the Troia Empire or netizens from other countries, everyone who saw this scene felt sympathy and their noses tingled with emotion: "The Troia Empire's royal family was already sparsely populated, and two more people died in one day, leaving only Relos and Prince Agares. It's so pitiful."
"Yes, Crown Prince Relos is only 22 years old. According to the past experience of the Troia Empire's royal family, after he completes his studies, he will enter the army as an honorary marshal and undergo a year of training."
"Now that he has lost his father and mother, his year-long training is over. After burying His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, he will inherit the throne."
"Sigh, the Troia Empire seems peaceful on the surface, but it's actually a mess. All that stuff—nobility, council of elders, council of councils—damn, it's more complicated than our Federation."
"Of course they believed it. The royal family was originally in power, but now all these things are trying to interfere. Crown Prince Relos and Prince Agares are having a hard time."
"By the way, did you guys see the man in military uniform following Crown Prince Relos in the footage?"
"Who is it? Who is it? Who is it...?"
"It it it..."
The person asking the question had taken a screenshot of Bo Jichen's photo and released it.
Several people who saw the photo recognized it and exclaimed in disbelief: "How could it be this dog? Its uniform, its epaulets, damn, it's a senior colonel!"
"Are you kidding me? It's already a senior colonel. I remember the last time I saw it was at an exchange meeting between the Federal Military Academy and the Troia Imperial Military Academy."
"This thing isn't human, it's just a dog, a cunning fox. Not only is it good with its mouth, but its action is also incredibly powerful."
"Our Federation is alright, but it really angered the orc military academy so much that they were so angry they wanted to slap it with their big claws."
"Guess what? Guess what? The moment they raised their big claws, it was a foul and they were kicked out. It was agreed that orcs couldn't transform into their original forms when participating in the inter-military academy exchange."
"No, it doesn't act like a human, it only acts like a dog. It hasn't broken any rules, so it's not a good way to put it. Besides, military ranks are sacred no matter where you are, and they are earned through merit."
"The fact that it can stand beside Crown Prince Leilos today proves that it is a formidable force and that it has earned genuine military merit!"
The internet was buzzing with excitement and discussion. The alumni of the First Military Academy also saw it, especially Bo Jichen, whose eyes widened in disbelief. Some of them faced unemployment after graduation, some joined the army as soldiers, and some continued their studies.
But then look at it again, its shiny epaulettes are practically blinding to their eyes, making them beat their chests in regret. Why didn't it cling to its leg when it was in school, why didn't it train it properly, why didn't it take a good beating?
They go to school at the same time, and enter the school at the same time, so why is it so outstanding and far ahead of the others, leaving them far behind and feeling inferior? Haha.
Of course, once Bo Jichen's background was exposed, some busybodies dug into his resume and began to question him, thinking that he was the Crown Prince's classmate and that the Crown Prince had given him special treatment, allowing him to rise through the ranks at such a young age.
The doubts grew louder and louder. After handling his parents' funerals, Relos discovered the matter and immediately notified the military, requesting them to issue a clarification.
The military issued a document containing Bo Jichen's most complete resume, detailing the tasks he performed over the four years from the start of his schooling until the end. Each task was more difficult than the last, and each one was fraught with peril.
The entire resume, including all the mission names mentioned, was reported by various news outlets after the cases were solved, and all of them were traceable.
This impeccable resume immediately silenced countless doubts and drew the attention of nobles, elders, and council members to Bo Jichen.
They wanted to contact it, but couldn't find its contact number or see its person. Like its identity, it was an orphan with no social circle.
Having lost her father and mother, Agares became even more attached to Relos than before. At night, even though she wanted to sleep with Relos, she pretended to be strong and could sleep alone.
Relos had promised his parents he would take good care of him. Looking at the little boy, his heart softened, and his voice became even gentler, "How about Agares comes over to sleep with his brother tonight?"
Agares stood up straight, his small body stiff, wanting to agree but hesitating: "No, Agares is a man, he can sleep alone and protect his brother."
Relos's eyes stung, and he choked slightly: "Yes, Agares is a man and can sleep alone, but I'm not a man now. I have nightmares at night and I'm scared. I want Agares to come and sleep with me and protect me."
Upon hearing that her brother was having a nightmare and was scared, Agares immediately wrapped her little arms around his neck and patted his back with her other hand, coaxing him in a sweet, childish voice, "Brother, don't be afraid, brother, don't be afraid. I'll come and sleep with you tonight and protect you."
Relos hugged him back, his voice choked with emotion: "Okay, with Agares protecting me, I won't be afraid anymore, and I won't have nightmares anymore."
Agares gave a heavy "hmm," feeling overjoyed. Being able to protect her brother, prevent him from having nightmares, and sleep in the same bed with him was wonderful.
At night, after putting Agares to sleep, Relos got up and sat at the desk in his temporary bedroom. He looked at the Elder Council and the Council of Elders, and saw the money that had been handed to him for the coronation ceremony to inherit the throne.
This large expense will come from the national treasury. Both parties have already signed, and now his signature is required. Once he signs, the Council of Elders and the great nobles will begin arranging the coronation ceremony.
Bo Jichen returned from get off work at the military headquarters. He had been staying at the palace recently. He tiptoed in and saw Lei Luosi with a small lamp on, reading a piece of paper.
It walked over gently, nestled behind him, rested its chin on his shoulder, and looked at the paper in his hand: "Honey, your coronation ceremony will cost 2 billion. Do you think that's too much or too little?"
Holding the authorization letter, without turning his head, Leilos sighed and said, "It's too much, 2 billion. It can help many ordinary people without superpowers live better lives."
"The preparations for the coronation ceremony, including the welcoming ceremony, the parade, the concert at the event venue, and inviting royal families and envoys from various countries to the banquet, are a massive undertaking."
"This massive undertaking is usually prepared by the high nobility, the council of elders, the council of councils, and the royal general affairs department. This means that of the 2 billion expenditure, the council of councils, the council of elders, and the high nobility will pocket at least 1 billion to 800 million of it."
Bo Jichen rested his chin on his shoulder and looked at him with a slight turn of his head: "Honey, as far as I know, a coronation ceremony usually not only costs money, but also makes money and stimulates domestic demand in the capital planet."
Relos nodded: "Yes, we need to prepare for the coronation ceremony six months in advance. The coronation procession will attract many royal followers who will come to watch and observe."
"Many people from other countries come here for tourism and sightseeing. As long as there are many people, it can boost the tourism industry and domestic demand of the capital planet. My father's coronation ceremony cost 1 billion, but it boosted the economy of the capital planet by more than 20 billion."
Bo Jichen hesitated for a moment before asking, "What do you intend to do about your coronation ceremony?"
Leilos paused for a moment: "I can choose not to do it. I don't want the council, the elders, and the great nobles to bleed me dry and make money."
Bo Jichen reached out, took the authorization letter from his hand, placed it on the table, and pressed it down with his hand: "If you don't want them to suck your blood, then don't let them. The coronation ceremony will proceed as scheduled, just change the method."
Relos glanced at it sideways: "Change the way?"
Bo Jichen met his gaze: "Yes, change the method. The coronation ceremony no longer needs to be prepared six months in advance, only one month in advance. Everything will be simplified."
"No need for the Council of Elders, the Council of Elders, or the great nobles to intervene. All that's needed is the military. Just have the military clear the area, impose martial law, participate in a parade, and hold an enthronement ceremony."
"Because everything is kept simple, we will not invite nobles, the richest people, or royalty from various countries; we will simply conduct a live broadcast across the entire galaxy."
"To my knowledge, no royal family in the Abel system has ever had its coronation ceremony broadcast live across the entire interstellar space without inviting important figures from various countries."
"We are the first person to hold this coronation ceremony without inviting important figures from various countries. This creates a buzz. In the past, royal coronation ceremonies were broadcast live across the entire galaxy for free. This time, we are changing our style. The coronation ceremony broadcast will not be free in every aspect. We will obtain an exclusive license and a rebroadcast license."
"The revenue from ads and tips during the live stream will be split 90/10 with them. I glanced at the royal family's financial report last time you showed it; the royal family is quite poor, and so are you."
"This live stream is the best way to enrich your own private treasury. It will not only get rid of the Elders, but also make you money and establish a reputation for not being extravagant and wasteful in the minds of the people."
"Of course, I've also done a preliminary estimate. This live stream is expected to last 6 to 10 hours. The entire interstellar space, including the Zerg, has a population of over 100 billion. Even if we don't consider the donations from each individual, just 5 billion to 10 billion donations from each individual, and each person donates one star coin, plus the advertising slots during the live stream, your personal income will be at least several billion to 10 billion."
Leilos gasped, "So much money..."
Bo Jichen squeezed in from behind Lei Luosi, stood between his legs, and rested his butt on Lei Luosi's small office desk: "Honey, this is just a conservative estimate. It may exceed our imagination. You can earn several hundred billion, or even hundreds of billions. But there is one thing I have to tell you, and you need to know it."
Relos looked up at it and said, "You speak!"
Bo Jichen leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and kissed him on the lips.
Relos: "!!!!"
He was talking, but then it suddenly attacked and kissed him.
Not serious at all, not cute at all.
After kissing him, Bo Jichen said with a smile, "Darling, the only people you can use now are the military, the council of elders, and the council of councils. The nobles only want to weaken your power, only want you to be a useless mascot, to suck more blood from you, and to make you take more blame."
"So this time you're having the military provide full protection, then half of your personal income must be invested in the military, whether it's as an annual bonus, a semi-annual bonus, or to increase military spending. You have to pay this money. You have to tell the military that you, as the emperor, value them immensely."
"You have to know how to draw a big picture and how to add the right seasonings. Some people in the military have been unhappy with the Elders' Council, the Council of Representatives, and the nobles for a long time."
"We should take advantage of their dissatisfaction to use their strength against them. This is a document about the nobles in the military. They hold various important positions and like to suppress those who are more capable and better than them. Few of them are clean."
"During your coronation ceremony, you can reinstate a few people. I have prepared a list of people for you to reinstate. The people on the list are all highly capable, and there are also many who have been suppressed by the nobles and have not been able to get promoted and feel frustrated."
"Take this opportunity to promote them and give them important roles in your coronation ceremony. After your coronation ceremony, use the evidence to clean up the scum that the nobles have planted in the military. Once they are gone, those people you promoted can take the lead."
"A discerning eye needs a fine horse, and a fine horse also needs a discerning eye. If you promote those who have been suppressed by the nobles, you will be a discerning eye to them, and they will feel indebted to you. They will think you have vision, you have courage, and you are wise."
"Therefore they will be grateful to you, they will be loyal to you, and in this way you can gradually and truly control the military. Once you truly control the military, the Senate, the Council, and the nobles will be fish on your chopping board, at your mercy."
