Chapter 1629: Revisiting the Old Place (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
"...Xu Zili, president of the Imperial Council of State, said that the stock market crash was extremely harmful. It not only caused the imperial stock market to fall into crisis, but also caused the property of tens of millions of investors to suffer losses. Before the stock market crash, a large number of Internet companies spent excessively, causing investors to suffer losses. Therefore, he has suggested setting up a special committee to investigate the matter..."
At this time, there was only the sound of the news in the room. Both of them were watching TV quietly. Although they knew that Xu Zili was planning this an hour ago, they were still a little surprised when it actually happened.
What is surprising is not the news itself, but the fact that the "Faceless Man" could learn this information one day in advance.
"It seems that the Faceless Men have indeed infiltrated a wide range of areas!"
Glancing at Mr. L, Gan Sheng said.
"In this respect, you are not as good as them."
"Your Majesty, it is a rule set by Emperor Taizu that the Investigation Bureau does not get involved in internal affairs."
"The Security Bureau is just catching spies. What that guy does, in a big way, is political, but in a small way, it is nothing more than chasing more power. It is part of the imperial power field. Intrigues and struggles for power and profit happen every day in Zhongdu..."
Shaking his head and sighing, Gan Sheng said.
"Now, I finally understand the Emperor's painstaking efforts. The Emperor knows human nature best! Human achievement comes from dissatisfaction, and so does human desire. When desire is greater than reason, it will always lead people astray."
“Times may change, but people’s hearts will never change.”
L nodded.
"That's why the Emperor left behind an eye, but this eye must be used by Your Majesty. After all, it can be an eye or a sword. A sword can hurt others, but it can also hurt yourself."
Nodding, Gan Sheng said.
"I know. You go and keep an eye on this matter first. I feel relieved when you keep an eye on it, but..."
After thinking for a while, the emperor added.
"From the looks of it, this incident is not ZB, but it is ZB in reality without the name of ZB. Its intention is to overthrow the imperial regime. If this incident is exposed, it will definitely be a scandal that shocks the world. The empire..."
Pursing his lips, Gan Sheng glanced at the chess pieces on the chessboard. He was the chess player, and those people were always just chess pieces.
"The Empire does not need such a scandal. If it is true, we will find an opportunity to get rid of him directly."
The voice was cold and emotionless. The reason why he made such a decision was simple. The world order was maintained by the empire. Such a scandal damaged the prestige of the empire. It was impossible to accept it, even if it was to be told to the outside world. It was just a communication between several emperors.
L was not surprised by His Majesty's decision. An emperor can be lenient, but he must also take drastic measures.
"I understand, but I'm afraid there are many people involved in this matter."
"If it involves the core, we will deal with it together. If it does not involve the deep... politicians always have scandals!"
"I understand."
"The most important thing is that I want to take back the East Factory. The knife must be held in my own hands."
Although Gan Sheng's words were not loud, L could imagine that in the coming days, the imperial political arena would definitely face a drastic change.
L had no idea what kind of impact this drastic change would have on the imperial political arena, but what was certain was that this was just the beginning.
…
At the same time, Zhu Xianhai finally returned to his loyal Zhongdu. When Li Jielin and others opened an office in Zhongdu, he had already started to visit this city he had been away from for a long time.
However, unlike usual, he did not bring his own security team, but like many foreign tourists, he boarded a tour bus.
As for the security issue, he was not worried. With the Investigation Bureau following behind him, there would be no security problem.
“… On the inner side of the stone lion holding the drum at Yongding Gate, there are four reliefs with war themes: “Foundation”, “Departure”, “Victory” and “Conquest”. On the outer side, there are the names of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the empire.”
When the car passed through the "Yongding Gate", the female tour guide dutifully explained the gate and the story behind it. The tourists all stretched their necks to see the names of the 1.36 million people. These tourists came from all over the world, including Chinese and Europeans. They had cameras of various brands hanging around their necks. Many of them should be from the north of the empire. Many of them wore northern cowboy hats. Of course, many of them came from African colonies. They might be farmers or citizens. Some of them looked no different from Chinese people, but their slightly curly hair seemed to reveal their bloodline. After all, millions of Japanese people intermarried with local indigenous people. Although the indigenous genes have been diluted a lot through generations of integration, Africa has produced many sports talents over the years.
Every year, many people come to Zhongdu for tourism, not only because it is the empire's Zhongdu, but also because the promotional brochures of Zhongdu's tourism department promote Zhongdu as a paradise on earth: blue sky, sea of flowers, people in gorgeous costumes, clean streets, rich food, golden girls presenting gifts in front of the Forbidden City... although this beautiful scene is very common.
But this is Zhongdu after all, and there are many unique places here, such as Yongdingmen and the stone lions holding drums with the names of martyrs engraved on them.
"On this unique monument, everyone is equal, whether they are generals or soldiers, they all have only one identity: heroes of the empire. Their surnames are arranged in strokes, regardless of military rank. This demonstrates the basic principle of the empire - fairness!"
During the tour guide's introduction, many people looked at the list of casualties, perhaps somewhere on it were the names of their great-grandfathers and great-great-grandfathers. The female tour guide took the opportunity to take out a handkerchief and wipe her eyes, perhaps because of the dust in them, or perhaps a name on the list touched her.
The female tour guide didn't notice that someone was watching her with interest. She was a woman with a lot of stories, but also a broad-minded and beautiful woman. She was wearing the blue-gray uniform of the Imperial Tour Guide and leaned lazily on the windshield. Her appearance had obvious traces of mixed blood, probably a first-generation mixed blood.
In fact, Zhu Xianhai was just admiring her. After all, the wedding ring on the woman's finger reminded him that she was a married woman. The female tour guide seemed to notice that someone was looking at her. She looked in the direction of the gaze and when she saw Zhu Xianhai, she smiled sweetly at him.
The woman's smile made Zhu Xianhai's heart flutter. It must be said that there is a thief in every man's heart, even he is no exception. Soon, he picked up his phone and sent a text message.
