Chapter 1183 The Princess Announces: Abolition of the Royal System
October 28th.
This was the first time since the Zerg battle on the front lines that other news had overshadowed the war news and made the headlines on StarNet.
Everyone thought this information was magical, but behind the unreasonable magic, there was a sense of reality.
-
"Hello everyone, this is Federal News Media—"
"We are currently in the Nobles' Great Hall. Yes, this is where the princess is holding her press conference."
"Due to meeting record requirements, we can't bring microphones in. Some colleagues have already gone in to film. After 9:00, everyone log in to StarNet and click on the Federal News Blue V. We will update the meeting content in real time on the homepage."
The reporter looked serious.
There are many people watching online.
The barrage is jumping madly——
【Isn’t today April Fool’s Day? 】
[I heard a rumor... that Zhao is dead?]
[Remove the ellipsis and gossip above; this is clearly official news! ]
[Everyone's talking about it! Is he really dead?]
[She couldn't be dead, right? If it was fake news, the person holding the press conference today wouldn't be the princess.]
But it’s the original body.
After all, from the things he has done since he came to power, it can be seen that he is a willful and self-righteous person. Knowing that the news of his death is spreading like wildfire, how could he not clarify it and not curse at others?
But there is no news on his personal homepage.
On the contrary, it was the princess who was no longer at the center of power but was a member of the same clan who spoke out. This matter itself was very delicate.
The topics of discussion kept coming one after another, and soon, the moment of revealing the secret arrived! 9 o'clock sharp!
A large number of viewers exited the real-time connection here and instead entered the live broadcast at the venue.
The live broadcast looked solemn and dignified.
The entire auditorium was decorated as a sea of black and white.
The Federal News reporter sat in the middle and rear part, and from here, the camera robot could capture the entire foreground on the screen.
The sound pickup system is also of the highest quality, so the sound quality is also very clear.
It is this set of equipment that records the end of the royal family over the past century.
-
The princess was calm.
She had wanted to do this for a long time, but she had never found the opportunity.
Now, there is such an opportunity before her, she can stand on the stage and openly announce her father's wishes and her brother's will.
She cheered herself up.
If the prelude was just a prelude, then as a princess who had received education as an heir, it was not difficult for her to talk about this.
In a few words, she told the reason for today's meeting.
"A few days ago, King Zhao Xun of the Federal Empire passed away."
The first major event is about to begin.
Everyone who came to the meeting sat up straight.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.
Okay, he’s really dead.
"Despite this, I don't want anyone to observe a moment of silence for him."
The surprise caused by the first wave had not yet dissipated, and the words from the next wave almost shocked everyone.
The princess remained calm, "Originally, we should be mourning the passing of the new emperor, but after Zhao Xun's death, we investigated the cause of his sudden death and discovered—"
"He violated the country's strictest laws and crossed the bottom line of what the people should be."
The princess decided not to give Zhao Xun any face.
His dirty death was an opportunity, a chance to end it all.
The whole audience was in an uproar again.
"The battle on the front lines is gripping our hearts. The Zerg dynamics and situation are different from previous years. We are all concerned about why this happened."
The accident resulted in the deaths of thousands.
"We originally thought it was a natural disaster, that humans and the Zerg would inevitably face a life-and-death battle, but this investigation shows that the origin of all these changes lies with Zhao Xun."
Next, a large number of pictures instantly appeared on the projection screen behind the princess.
There are photos of Alsace's sealed laboratory, photos of Alsace and Zhao Xun meeting, and photos of two people standing together next to a water tank with perverted smiles.
In addition to these, there are also some recordings.
The recording included Zhao Xun's interpretation of the word "people", his mention of the Zerg's future complacency, his criticism of Mo Si's vulgar words, and his casual disregard for human life.
It's a short audio clip, mixed with a lot of voice chatter about the word "untouchable".
Some also said that it would be best if the entire Sixth Legion were killed in battle.
Words like "the untouchables from marginal planets deserve to die" are totally unacceptable to public opinion.
The reporters who were taking notes were stunned.
Before coming here, everyone thought today's meeting might be exciting, but they never expected:? ?
This is so exciting!
"He is not a qualified emperor."
"As her aunt and a member of the Zhao family clan, I watched him take over the throne from the late Emperor Yiran. I thought he would make the empire glorious, but I never expected it to turn out like this."
"My brother has passed away. As the patriarch of the Zhao family, I will represent my brother at this meeting and expel Zhao Xun from the Zhao clan."
It was actually directly removed from the family tree!
Just when everyone thought this sentence was the climax of the whole scene——
That’s not right. Soon someone with a quick mind thought of something!
Now that Zhao Xun is dead and the throne is vacant, does the princess want to hold this meeting today?
Is the change of throne and the exchange of power going to happen today?
Fans on the barrage are also discussing it.
[So the fool xx is dead? ]
[The traitor is dead. He was full of shit. Would he exist without us? He thinks he's so great just because he's an emperor?]
[Luckily, she's dead and doesn't take up space anymore, so I can get a new one. I think this princess is actually pretty good.]
[Yes, the princess lived during His Majesty Yiran's time, and she did some good things.]
[…That being said, she has never done anything bad, but can someone who has never done anything bad become king?]
What era is this? How is the history we learn structured? With all due respect, I think we don't need a royal family or a royal clan at all.
Such messages appeared on the screen like sparks.
In the past, this was considered disrespectful and making such disrespectful remarks in public would be punishable.
Who is protecting us? Who is solving our problems? Isn't it clear to everyone?
[It's the Legion that's fighting outside; it's the Military Headquarters that mobilizes the armed forces. Internally, maintaining public order and stability is also done by the federal military and police, also deployed by the Military Headquarters!]
The Learning Center protects us while we go to school. The Cabinet decides laws, allocates resources, manages distribution, and controls prices. The Cabinet is responsible for all of this! We pay taxes every year, but they support so many nobles. Why?
What have the nobles done for us? Nothing at all! What's the point of the royal family? Aside from the first emperor, what have the subsequent royal families done?
Do we really need a royal family?
Sometimes words are like a spark.
There is a raging fire in the human heart. The fire is seduced by the fire. Soon, the fire all over the sky can burn through the skin that covers rationality, allowing everyone to see a bright sky.
Yeah, do we need a royal family?
No need!
But at this time, someone also asked, [We are protesting on the barrage now, but they can't hear it...]
Moreover, we are facing both internal and external troubles now, it is not the time to deal with this.
We have to wait, but only until the Zerg have passed.
Everyone discussed everything and said that after defeating the Zerg, they would jointly protest against the abolition of the royal family.
But what no one expected was that after the princess finished talking about Zhao Xun's sins, she deeply reflected on the sins of the royal family. At the end of her speech, she suddenly stood up.
"Over a hundred years ago, we fought within a divided regime. After we established a unified regime, the royal system collapsed."
"The ancestor of the Zhao family was a very capable man. At that time, the empire was like a ship sailing on the sea. He was at the helm, and the ship sailed very steadily."
"After our ancestor passed away, my brother Zhao Yiran took over the helm. He wasn't the best helmsman, but he knew the wind direction well, and the ship kept moving forward. Then came Zhao Xun, but he wasn't worthy of being a helmsman."
"After three generations, I've discovered one thing: if you want to keep a ship moving forward, the helmsman must be the best. The system of hereditary succession is feudal and narrow-minded."
"If a narrow system is applied to a family, it will affect the family's inheritance and growth. If a narrow system is applied to Xingji or the United Empire, it will cause pain to the people of the entire empire."
This is what my father wanted to pass on most.
The princess recalled everything her father said with a smile when she was a child, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She thought, this is the only thing she can do.
She was just like Zhao Yiran before. She knew what her father was thinking, but she just couldn't take that step. Her arrogant life in her youth made her love being superior.
I love the feeling of being a princess.
She wanted to enjoy this honor, so she turned a blind eye to everything that happened in those years.
Now, her father and brother are gone, and she is the oldest among the surviving members of the Zhao family.
Let her end it all.
"So my clan members and I have decided that, starting today, we will completely abolish the hereditary succession system of the throne."
"Everyone in our Zhao family will withdraw from the nobility evaluation system."
"These are turbulent times. The battle on the front lines is uncertain, so it's too late to discuss further matters. In short, we will hand over all authority, resources, and everything we possess to the military after today's meeting. They will allocate all our resources. Our top priority is to defeat the Zerg!"
"To atone for the sins committed by Zhao Xun."
"After the war, I suggest abolishing all aristocratic and royal systems. In the future, Jiang will no longer have aristocrats, and all positions will be filled by the most capable. The helmsman of each generation should not necessarily come from a single family. Based on historical experience, we should broaden our scope and seek the most outstanding people to steer the ship, so that it can sail further."
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
At this point, even the activists watching the video were stunned.
Those people had thought many times about what would overthrow the royal family, but they had never thought that this feudal system would end in the hands of the Zhao family themselves.
"That's all I want to say."
"Thank you to all the journalists for coming to report this story."
"Now everyone can exit in an orderly manner."
However, just as the meeting was about to end, a man in a blue and gold patterned suit suddenly stood up. The sound from his ears was so loud that it sounded like thunder in the quiet meeting room.
"Princess! Stop!"
"Who told you to do this? If you make such a decision, will you have the nerve to visit your Zhao family ancestors after you die?"
He actually stopped the princess.
"Sir, let me correct you." The camera quickly gave her a close-up, and the princess's expression was cold. "From the moment I announced the end of the press conference, I am no longer a princess. You know me, so you can call me by my name from now on."
"I made this decision so that I can live up to the Zhao family's ancestors even after my death. I simply fulfilled their wishes."
After saying that, she walked straight down the stage and exited through a passage on the right.
Douglas knew that his wife had put a lot of effort into planning everything for today, so he came here to pick her up in a low-key manner.
The two of them left here together in a hovercraft.
Then at 10:50, tags such as "The Zhao clan leader announced the dissolution of the royal family" and "There will be no more palace in the federation from now on" quickly dominated the headlines.
At around 11:30 that day, the military office selection team had already begun handing over resources and responsibilities to the princess.
At 1:00 p.m. on the same day, the Cabinet and the Military Office suddenly held a joint meeting. It is said that the meeting lasted for four hours, during which quarrels often broke out in the meeting room.
At 6:30 p.m., the cabinet account and the military office account sent a message together, and the two sides jointly established a front-line battle command center, intending to jointly discuss new laws and implement a new social system after the battle.
But before that, society continues to operate according to the previous order.
Netizens found it very interesting.
During this day, explosive news came one after another, and it seemed like a lot of things had happened, but when we sat down to drink tea and chat, it felt like nothing had happened.
Only those who are politically sensitive know that the world has changed.
-
A good thing happened, but no one in the military research institute was happy.
Qiu Dao has not improved yet.
As Mo Si's deputy general, Qiu Dao is a familiar face in the military research institute.
Anyone who has worked here for a long time knows him!
He is a good person, a hero, and good-looking.
How...how did this happen?
"Is General Qiu Dao still not awake?"
The person in charge of taking care of him simply shook his head.
"There's no sign of it at all."
"What is that legendary ball of light? Is there any research data?"
The man still shook his head, "I have no idea."
It's something unknown to begin with, and "the professor hasn't come to a conclusion yet."
This has almost become a headless case.
People will be sucked dry by the ball of light. This is something that many people have seen and it cannot be faked.
Qiu Dao’s coma cannot be faked.
However, during the imaging test, Qiu Dao's spiritual sea should be relatively stable.
We asked a psychiatrist to treat her, but after checking, there was nothing wrong. The cause of the coma could not be found either. There was no way to get a clue at all.
Just when the two people were extremely worried, a noise suddenly came from the silent treatment room.
The guard immediately turned around and found that it was Qiu Dao who was knocking on the glass!
Speak of Cao Cao and he wakes up! ?
The nurse hurriedly opened the treatment chamber!
He chased after her and asked, "General Qiu Dao, how are you? Does your spiritual sea still hurt?"
The man known as General Qiu Dao looked confused.
Princess: Didn’t I tell you not to call me princess? Just call me by my name! What’s wrong with you, the author? You don’t know how to appreciate my kindness! I can’t see the status clearly!
author:……
Princess, I really forgot your name. Is your name Zhao xx?
