People in Terra, governing a bizarre little country

Ernst's first reaction wasn't to realize anything was wrong, but now that he'd calmed down, he suddenly discovered a bug.

"You and Wang plotted this together? I remember Wang had already escaped from where he was being held, hadn't he?"

Both the Grand Tutor and Ling mentioned Wang to Ernst. The Grand Tutor said that Wang was a sinner who killed a member of the Great Yan Kingdom while playing chess and then escaped from where he was imprisoned. The Si Suitai (a high-ranking official in charge of the year) could not find him. Ling gave a more detailed account, saying that Wang used his power to cut himself into more than 180 chess pieces, which were scattered throughout the world.

But whoever it is, they all say that this happened a very, very long time ago, when the previous generation of true dragons was still around.

The Yanwu Palace Coup happened when the previous emperor passed away. It's all ancient history now. Where did you find that information?

When Ernst asked this question, Zhenlong was taken aback for a moment, then answered matter-of-factly:

"I just had someone look for it, and it wasn't too difficult for them to find it."

Ernst looked at Wang again: "You did this on purpose?"

Wang shook his head, his brows furrowing slightly:

"How could that be? I'm not one of my brothers or sisters. I'm not that kind-hearted. What reason would I have to help Yan back then?"

He wasn't found on purpose!

That would be strange!

Ernst was astonished and couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the Great Flame Division's Suitai, with its hundreds of carefully selected and experienced candle-bearers possessing extensive knowledge of giant beasts, spending vast sums of money, researching and searching day and night for over a decade or even several decades without any results, and having to leave the sinful beast [Wang] to its fate, was found by your subordinates in just a few days?"

"True Dragon Shines on the Tree": Skirt...: Rake and Slaughter ∠Three Four 2 nodded somewhat blankly:

"correct."

"His Majesty"

Ernst didn't know what to say, so he simply bowed.

"You really do have a bit of destiny in your body, you're so lucky!"

Zhenlong was taken aback, then seemed to realize something. He glanced at Wang, who was almost turning from a black-faced, expressionless man into a red-faced man trying to suppress a laugh, and then glanced at Ernst.

Then, the next second, an eerie silence fell over the hall.

""

"Grass!"

"My money!"

He hadn't really thought about this before. After all, in the grand drama of the Yanwu Palace Coup, the person he cared about most was Yanwu, who had soiled himself at a crucial moment and needed his help to clean up. As for Wang, although he was the one who came up with the plan, he hadn't personally participated in it and was mostly just a background character. After the True Dragon took his anger out on him and added the crime of "deceiving the emperor" to his list of offenses, he hadn't paid much attention to Wang's affairs.

But now, upon closer inspection, this doesn't seem right!

He was just an ordinary prince at the time, at most having a slightly better relationship with Crown Prince Yanwu. But Yanwu had good relationships with many princes and princesses! His sister even ran away with him! Really speaking, apart from being a bit older, he wasn't anything special!

The imperial guards wouldn't listen to him, the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion wouldn't listen to him, the court officials wouldn't listen to him, and the army and regional governors certainly wouldn't listen to him either. He didn't even have a single advisor or strategist by his side, otherwise he wouldn't have encountered such a big problem. His first reaction was to go to Wang, who had a grudge against Yan, to plot something together!

How could someone like him so easily find out where Wang is?

There can only be two explanations for this.

Or, as Ernst said, he's just blessed with good fortune, the kind of person who can pick up money on the street and guess all the multiple-choice questions on an exam right. Others think it's hard to find [Hope] because they're bad at it and need more practice. He only needs to bend his hand and casually scoop out some from under a bird's nest, and [Hope] will appear as easily as a bright red [red]!

Either

There seem to be too many Smiths at the tax office. They collect their salaries without doing any work, constantly demanding raises, spouting patriotic rhetoric about national affairs and the safety of the country, but in reality, a wall, a bed, and a refrigerator aren't enough to hide them all!

The real dragon isn't stupid; he's been sitting in that position all the way until he's bald!

Does he not know if he has some kind of destiny? Even if he does, his success is entirely due to hard work and dedication! Talking about destiny is just pointless slander!

There's only one conclusion then!

"Damn it! How did the country become like this?!"

“Mr. Ernst, we hit it off immediately! Have you considered resigning from your jobs at the Scherrag and the International Summit? I can set up a special department for you to help me investigate, thoroughly investigate these corrupt officials! Improve the efficiency of our government! This would be a good thing for the people!”

Who's talking to you or us! Did I agree to that? You've already started painting this picture, already trying to add value to it?

Didn't I eat enough of this in my past life?! I'm full, really full!

Ernst quickly waved his hand:

"Your Majesty, you should find someone more capable!"

"Where am I supposed to find someone skilled in this?"

Ernst was just about to recommend the two women he had just met—the incorruptible Miss Chen Huijie, whose background was so powerful that no one could touch her even if her entire family were to die—to Wang, who was making a face that was harder to suppress than AK's, to Wang.

"I think Wei Yanwu is good."

Ernst was taken aback, and so was Zhenlong.

Then, the true dragon laughed heartily:

"Well, I knew he had a lot of ideas!"

Ernst also gave a thumbs up.

You are this!

He truly deserves the title of the Great Yan's Idea King!

It’s high, really high!

"Let heroes investigate heroes, let good men investigate good men!"

Chapter 960 Kill the God!

The dragon waved its hand, not to refuse, but to indicate that no further words were needed.

Yanwu abandoned the country, leaving behind all the promised tasks of restoring order and governing the court, which he did nothing for Zhenlong.

But history is a giant boomerang; if you stand still long enough, that boomerang will one day come crashing back at you!

Wang's advice was extremely useful. Zhenlong felt that there was no need to discuss this matter at all; he could make a decision directly at the court meeting tomorrow morning.

As for whether Wei Yanwu agrees or not.

Hehe, let him try disagreeing with one?

Do you think I'm deliberately targeting you?

How can you say that! This is a great thing for the country and the people. The deposed Crown Prince Yanwu is a criminal who has failed the late emperor's expectations and committed heinous crimes. Not killing him is already an act of grace from me!

Besides, I am the jealous dragon you speak of. What's that saying again?

When someone feels you're targeting them, you'd better actually be targeting them. Otherwise, you'll end up like Zhenlong in the past, getting mud on your pants and being unfairly accused of jealousy—wouldn't that be a complete injustice?

Therefore, the struggle for the position of heir apparent has always been like this, and my granting a different title is already a sign of my benevolence!

Now that I am employing talented people without regard to convention, entrusting them with important responsibilities and placing high hopes on them, you should be even more grateful!

Besides, what difficulty is there for you, Yanwu, in this matter? You have a good reputation in the court and among the people. Even though you have been away from the center of power for decades, there are still many old ministers and subordinates who think of you. You have no direct interests in the capital. In the eyes of outsiders, although it is unlikely that you are a member of the imperial faction, it is also unlikely that you are not!

Compared to those high-ranking officials and nobles in the Hundred Kitchens, whose bones are broken but whose tendons are still connected, and who knows whose distant relatives they might be if slapped, having you investigate this matter is much more reassuring than having me send ten Grand Tutors or twenty Grand Preceptors!

You're right, Brother Yanwu!

Having made up his mind about it, Zhenlong looked at Ernst again.

Although he was interrupted and made a big joke about Commissioner Geng, Zhenlong did not feel tired at all. On the contrary, he felt more and more relaxed.

Chatting with Mr. Ernst, ) 48 private: 5 hedgehog 4 folded purchasing agent: It really can be summed up in two words - open and generous!

However, after going around in circles, it's time to finally get to the most crucial topic!

"Mr. Ernst, as you've probably noticed, whether it's the issue of Si Suitai or the issue of Yan Wu, it all boils down to one crucial topic—the Sui Beast!"

"The Hundred Stove was built on the Suiling Mausoleum, which was built with the remains of the Sui Beast. After the Sui Beast's spirit was destroyed, the remains were moved by our ancestors to the main mine of Jingyu."

"While it is not my place to presume to speculate on the complex and far-reaching strategies of our ancestors, I personally believe that they intended to use the source stones from the main mine of Jingyu to provide energy in order to suppress the remains of the Sui Beast, which showed signs of resurrection. After all, Yan at that time did not have the national strength it has now."

At that time, Yan's national strength was severely depleted after that protracted and earth-shattering hunt of giant beasts. It was like a person who had been overindulged in rewards. He had enjoyed himself, but when he walked, his steps felt unsteady. If he was not careful, he would fall to the ground and might not be able to get up again.

However, the greatest threat to the Yan Kingdom, and its last remaining giant beast, [Sui], inexplicably showed signs of resurgence after being annihilated!

That was terrifying!

Unfortunately, back then, it was absolutely impossible for Yan Kingdom to have another chance!

But the Year Beast is relentless. As the saying goes, "Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger." How old is the Year Beast? It's meant to live. If you don't give it a go, then once it's alive, whether it will give you a go is really hard to say!

To avoid being pinned down and treated like a submissive victim, Yan Guo decided to keep the initiative in its own hands!

Therefore, it made a perfectly reasonable decision!

It's on drugs—no, it's on Originium.

Taking drugs harms your body, and so does using Originium!

The remains of the Sui Beast were moved to the main 7th mine of Jingyu. The True Dragon mobilized the people of the land to build the massive Sui Mausoleum on the remains. The Sui Mausoleum itself is a large-scale Originium magic array, powered by the main Jingyu mine and with Baizhao City as its foundation. The aim is to ensure that as long as the Originium mine remains, the Sui Beast can be eternally suppressed underground!

This operation is theoretically feasible, but in practice...

It can only be said that, both in the past and present, land dwellers still know far too little about giant beasts.

The Year Beast transformed into twelve Qing beasts in one breath and escaped using a method no one had expected! As a result, the True Dragon had to set up the Year Control Platform to supervise these twelve Year Beast agents.

This dangerous and fragile balance had, in fact, been maintained for thousands of years.

"Until this sinner infiltrated Suiling and caused that incident."

The true dragon looked towards it.

Wang Qian's infiltration of Suiling was actually tacitly approved by the Great Yan True Dragon at that time.

However, it can only be said that Si Suitai did absolutely nothing at the time. Therefore, Wang harbored a deep resentment towards Si Suitai, and other agents of the Sui family also believed that [Jie]'s "disappearance" in that incident was largely due to Si Suitai's "hands-off" attitude (Xiang Jian Huan: Yu). Some even went so far as to believe that some high-ranking officials in the court should be held responsible for the incident (Huai Shu Li: Ji).

It seems that Si Suitai wasn't just a passive observer; he might have even pulled a fast one at the end.

Of course, the matter of cleaning up the Si Sui Tai was already decided by the true dragon. What they did back then will naturally be investigated thoroughly by Grand Commander Wei Yanwu.

What Zhenlong is about to talk about is mainly the hidden dangers left by the amazing wisdom of our ancestors.

"I am ready to completely resolve the problem of the Year Beast in my generation."

"This is actually thanks to the current international environment created by Mr. Ernst."

He said earnestly.

This is not flattery, but the truth.

The Londinium incident, which occurred two years ago and was not finally resolved until the end of last year, was a catastrophe. But this catastrophe also brought many lessons to the nations of the world.

The changing times, the rewriting of order, and the macro-level changes are all present.

The power of the Sarkaz has been rediscovered, and the existence of Kazdel can no longer be ignored; this is also a legacy of historical issues.

For the Yan Kingdom, none of these are the most important.

Most importantly, the true dragon has finally confirmed that the World Summit does indeed have the ability to maintain overall peace on Terra within certain limits!

Some people say, "Wait a minute, aren't the Victorians fighting like dogs? Two grand dukes have died, and they're still talking about peace?"

The true dragon doesn't see that.

What he saw was the stance, choices, and attitudes of the other Terran nations during the disaster Victoria experienced!

Be composed, avoidance, and restraint!

Victoria sacrificed two Grand Dukes, its national strength was severely damaged, its hegemony was completely disintegrated, and it inadvertently served as a stepping stone for Kazdelnia and Sarkaz to demonstrate their power. That's for sure!

But they only lost two grand dukes!

The price was heavy, but that's all!

If it were ten years ago, or even five years ago!

Can you imagine? Victoria was so weakened and nearly humiliated in a war, yet after the war, it was not greeted by a coalition of nations drooling and eager to take advantage of the situation and bite off a piece of flesh from this half-dead lion, but by condolences, aid, and a memorandum of understanding signed by all nations agreeing not to interfere in Victoria's affairs!

Shocked.

As one of the five permanent members of the Security Council and a signatory state at the time, Zhenlong was deeply shocked.

When will people truly and personally feel that "the times have really changed," such a macro-level and somewhat abstract proposition?

Zhenlong felt that the moment was right!

Therefore, he sincerely admired Ernst, who facilitated this situation. (Part 3-4)
