Gao Wu Da Qin: You don’t want the secret to be known, right?

The battle scenes on Daze Star were instantly spread through various networks and quickly reached all regions, ethnic groups, and countries.

The Pangu server, which had been hit hard by news of defeat, had received rare good news.

And this good news was created by an unknown little person.

Under such pressure, the advantages of journalism were stretched to the limit, and various news headlines emerged one after another.

"【Extra】The Daze Star of Chu State was besieged by star pirates. The star pirates' leader, Jie Yuanmai, a powerful master of the Bitter Sea Universe, was severely injured. The master-level magical power of the Boundless Bitter Sea was broken, and the one who severely injured Jie Yuanmai was an unknown person!"

"【Breaking News】The Kuhai star pirates besieged Daze Star, but were killed by Chen Sheng, the president of the Daze Star Mining Association. The star pirate leader Jie Yuanmai, a powerful master of the realm, was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown. The King of Chu announced the appointment of Chen Sheng as the general of the Chu State and awarded him a medal as a reward. He will summon Chen Sheng to the capital to meet the king. The spokesperson of the Chu State said that Chen Sheng's victory was the result of the King of Chu's teaching people and the meticulous cultivation of Daze Township by the Chu State, and it is inseparable from the King of Chu Huai's tilting of resources towards Daze Star. Chen Sheng's achievements today are like Qin Feng's achievements in the past. Chen Sheng is to the Chu State as Qin Feng is to the Qin State. Today, the Chu State will lead the Pangu Universe to defeat the star pirate invasion and become the new hope of the human race..."

"【Latest】The latest news, the star pirate leader Jie Yuanmai was killed by Chen Sheng and was seriously injured. Chen Sheng is indeed Wu Guang's brother. The world only knows that Wu Guang is the god of war in the abyss and a fierce general in Jiangdong, but few people know that Wu Guang's brother Chen Sheng is a hidden super strong man. Relevant sources revealed that from the battle video of Chen Sheng seriously injuring Jie Yuanmai, it can be inferred that Chen Sheng's combat power is at least 110,000, or even more than 120,000, and the explosive power of his ultimate move is around 180,000! After all, as a newly promoted world master, Jie Yuanmai's standard combat power is more than 103,000. For more revelations and the latest news, please pay attention to Xianyang Evening News!"

In the Xianyang Palace, the ministers were discussing the matter heatedly.

"King Huai of Chu has lost all his dignity! Is Chu worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with the Empire? Is he worthy of arguing with the King? Is Chen Sheng worthy of being compared with Qin Feng? Who the hell is King Huai of Chu!"

"How ridiculous! This King Huai of Chu is now so high-profile, and even has the attitude of a savior. Does he think that Chen Sheng is really his subordinate? Chen Sheng is a self-taught man!"

"The most serious problem now is that Chen Sheng fired the first shot in the fight against the pirates, and King Huai of Chu took the lead. What should we do? The pirates are not making any moves to harass our empire. We can't take the initiative to attack and clear out the pirates from other vassal states!"

"How can this be possible? The real opponents of the Empire are the regular armies of the Mechanical Universe and the High Martial Universe, not these pirate ants! The pirates have positioned themselves very well. They know very well that they cannot afford to offend the Empire, so they did not come to harass us. If we take the initiative to attack, what will we do when the Mechanical Universe's mechanical army and the High Martial Universe's regular army arrive?"

Just as everyone was discussing anxiously, a figure appeared behind the King's Curtain.

Ying Zheng came out.

The palace suddenly became quiet, with people standing on both sides.

Li Si stepped out of the line, holding the jade scepter, and said respectfully, "Reporting to the king, the situation on Daze Star has reversed. Chen Sheng, the brother of Wu Guang, the former Jiangdong fierce general, has suddenly become stronger and killed the world master-level star pirate Kuhai Universe Jieyuanmai. This is true. The King of Chu took the lead and promoted the idea that Chu is the new hope of the human race and has the momentum to seize the name of the empire, which is really bad for the empire."

Ying Zheng asked, "My dear ministers, what do you think?"

Li Bing, who was standing behind Li Si, stepped forward and said, "I, Li Bing, think that what the King of Chu said is ridiculous! According to the information I have received, the King of Chu has always been plundering Daze Star without any guidance or benefits. Some time ago, the King of Chu even sent the commander of the left gate and the left thousand households to Daze Star to suppress the rebels. Such atrocities can be used as propaganda for his meticulous work, which is really laughable!"

"I believe that as long as the King of Chu's true behavior is publicized, the truth will be revealed to the public, and his shameless remarks will be refuted."

After Li Bing finished speaking, the people around him nodded in praise.

However, among the crowd, Zhao Gao smiled grimly and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, Zhao Gao has a different opinion on this incident."

Ying Zheng said, "Speak!"

Zhao Gao paced and looked around at his ministers. "Zhao Gao believes that the Empire and the Star Pirates are not interfering with each other now. The Star Pirates know their own strengths and weaknesses and will not become enemies of the Empire."

"The Empire is also aware that its real enemy is the Supreme Universe's regular army. We cannot waste our strength on star pirates."

"At this time, Zhang Bairen, the leader of Pangu Universe, can't hold on alone, which leads to almost unanimous defeat in Pangu Universe now."

"Since the King of Chu wants to show off so much, wants to show off, wants to prove that his Chu State is the dawn of the human race!"

"Well, why not give him a chance?"

As soon as Zhao Gao said this, the faces of the ministers around him changed drastically and they started talking.

"How can we give him a chance? The Empire and the State of Chu are mortal enemies. Giving him a chance is like handing him a knife, isn't it?"

"Zhao Gao, you are so confused! How is your behavior similar to aiding the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, we must not be selfish! If the Chu State gets a chance to survive, it will greatly affect the Empire's plans and even delay the time to unify the outer universe! This is a poison pill strategy!"

"Your Majesty, if the King of Chu succeeds, it will shake the foundation of the empire! We must not do that!"

Facing such criticism, Ying Zheng, who was behind the king's curtain, did not show any emotion, but said calmly and in a low voice, "Zhao Gao, do you have anything to say?"

Zhao Gao cupped his hands and looked around at his ministers, "There are three key points in this matter. These three points are three benefits to the empire, but three disadvantages to the State of Chu!"

"Everyone, please listen to me slowly."

"Everyone knows the first disadvantage of the three disadvantages of the State of Chu. King Huai of Chu is a plunderer by nature. Although Chen Sheng of Dazexing won this time, Chen Sheng and the King of Chu are not on good terms. If the King of Chu wants to use Chen Sheng, he must make Chen Sheng loyal to him. Do you think Chen Sheng will be loyal to him? Think about Qin Feng's various hypocrisy and running away to the empire, and we can see that super powers are qualified to act like scoundrels when facing the country! And this is based on the fact that Qin Feng has a good relationship with the empire! What is the relationship between Chen Sheng and the King of Chu? That is a revenge for the extermination of the family! The destruction of Dazexing was caused by the King of Chu's failure to send troops! Chen Sheng and the King of Chu must be enemies! This is the first disadvantage!"

"The second disadvantage is that Qi has clearly sided with the pirates. The greedy King of Qi is finally a coward! Qi, Chu, Han, and Wei are all in an alliance! If Chu declares war on the pirates, it will become an enemy of Qi, and the alliance of the four countries will be broken. This is the second disadvantage!"

"The third disadvantage is also the most important one! The war in Pangu Universe is going against the wind now. Although Zhang Bairen has been working hard, he was sealed in Xuanyuan Tomb by the two pirate kings and can't get out at all. The old subordinates who stayed outside, the Four Seas Dragon Army, the All Saints Dragon King, West Kunlun, and Donghua Mountain were besieged by the Earth Immortal Realm headed by the King of Youzhou. The only Erlang Shen Yang Jian who can show off has also suffered a dimensionality reduction attack from the sea god Poseidon! In this case, Zhang Bairen alone can hardly support the Pangu martial arts world. If the Chu State, a temple sequence, is allowed to support it, it can greatly support Zhang Bairen and at the same time weaken the strength of the Chu State, so that all the strength of the Chu State will be consumed in the battle with the pirates. In this way, even if the empire destroys the Chu State in the later period, it will be much easier."

"With these three points, Chu will be in internal strife, and the four countries will be in internal strife, and Chu's strength will be greatly reduced!"

"With these three points, the Empire will remain as firm as a mountain and maintain its strategic determination, the Four-Nation Alliance will collapse, and it will also help the Immortal Emperor, making the Immortal Emperor owe the Empire a favor."

"Why not do it?"

"As for your feeling that this will weaken the majesty of the empire and the king's face, Zhao Gao believes that in the face of real interests, face can be sacrificed a little."

"There is nothing in this world that can satisfy both face and interests."

"Even someone as smart as Qin Feng would look ugly when he's trying to make money, right?"

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, the Qin Palace became extremely quiet.

For the ministers, Zhao Gao's words opened up a new idea for them.

Can the King of Chu deal with the star pirates?

What a fart!

Even the empire may not be completely sure!

Then the King of Chu jumped out to intervene. Isn't that stupid?

When it comes to our enemy’s stupidity, all we need to do is flatter and praise him. That’s enough.

But some people think it is inappropriate.

The old patriarch of the royal family, Ying Kui, stood up and said, "What Zhao Cheling said makes sense, but I have a doubt. If the empire acquiesces to the words of the King of Chu, or even supports the words of the King of Chu, then if the King of Chu is defeated and even asks us for resources and combat power, what should we do? Isn't this dragging the empire into the quagmire of war?"

"Let me give you an example. If at a press conference, the Empire is asked how it views Chu's attack on the star pirates, and the Empire says it doesn't care about the star pirates, then someone will spread rumors that the Empire doesn't care about the life and death of Pangu Universe, and the Empire will be caught in a whirlpool of public opinion."

"If the Empire intervenes, then the Empire will be mired in war."

"How do I solve this?"

Zhao Gao laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, please don't misunderstand me. Zhao Gao did not say that he intended to form an alliance with the King of Chu, nor did he have any treasonous thoughts of standing on the same boat with the State of Chu. Zhao Gao believed that the Empire did not need to publish any news in support of the King of Chu's remarks, and should maintain a lofty attitude and not be happy with others or sad with oneself. Anyway, the real strength of the four-nation alliance combined is less than one-third of the Empire, so it is no longer a concern. Let them jump as hard as they can. As long as we stay high and don't have any intersection with them, they can't drag us down!"

“And once we express any opinion on Chu’s remarks, the King of Chu will have new topics to attack the Empire.”

Ying Kui thought for a moment, then bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "This matter can be concealed for a while, but not forever. Your Majesty, please be cautious. Playing deaf and dumb is not a long-term solution."

Zhao Gao laughed and said, "You elders are worrying too much. Will this invasion of space pirates last long? This is just a simple test confrontation between the real big shots in the sea boundary."

"After the space pirates entered the sea boundary, the damage they caused was very limited!"

"On the contrary, the slaughter and casualties caused by local cosmic traitors like the King of Youzhou and the King of Qi are hundreds of times greater than theirs!"

"Qin Feng's move is to use the flames from the outside world to completely ignite and intensify the contradictions within the universe, thereby clearing the hidden dangers of contradictions for the empire once and for all."

"This incident will not last long. Playing dumb may be a low-level move, but it works. The key is not how advanced the move is, but whether it works."

"Do the elders think I'm right?"

Yingkui did not comment too much on Zhao Gao's words.

First of all, there was nothing wrong with what Zhao Gao said.

Secondly, Yingkui did not like Zhao Gao, especially in recent times, when Zhao Gao suddenly purged many of Prince Gao's close ministers.

As a staunch supporter of Prince Gao, Yingkui had always supported Prince Gao to take over from Ying Zheng and become the second-generation ruler of the empire. However, Zhao Gao's behavior of targeting Prince Gao's close ministers made Yingkui very angry and helpless.

After all, Zhao Gao was a close confidant of Ying Zheng, and his subordinates were very powerful. He was the real commander of the imperial guards in the Qin Palace! It was impossible for ordinary people to shake Zhao Gao's position.

Seeing this scene, Ying Zheng said, "Since this is the case, then let's follow Zhao Gao's words. The empire will not care about this matter, comment on it, or discuss it."

Ying Zheng made the decision, and all the ministers bowed and said, "Yes!"

Ying Zheng did not announce the end of the court, but looked around the Nuo Palace and said, "Some time ago, I passed by the Observatory and felt that it was in disrepair and the art of stargazing was declining. Fortunately, the empire was blessed by heaven and entrusted by a master. Now I am teaching a new art of stargazing."

"I plan to build a new observatory in each of the thirty-seven megacities."

"At the same time, a new subject will be opened, called Astrology. What do you think?"

Ying Zheng's words left everyone a little confused. What did the king mean?

Open an academy and expand the observatory?

What's wrong with the king?

It costs money to carry out projects, and the money has to be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue and the royal family.

Ying Kui, the elder of the royal family who was in charge of the purse, said hurriedly, "Reporting to the king, the empire is currently at war, and there is not much money to build a new observatory. The observatory was just repaired three years ago, so there is no need to rebuild it!"

Zhao Gao laughed and said, "You are wrong, elder! Now that Pangu Universe is gone and the invasion of space pirates is raging, it is important to strengthen the layout of the stars and be vigilant. How can we say that it is redundant and not build it?"

"In my opinion, thirty-seven observatories are too few. We should build at least thirty-seven integrated deep space exploration and observatory ships!"

"At the same time, we will work with Bai Yujing to build a corresponding divination network response communication mechanism!"

"Ensure the safety of the empire!"

Ying Kui glared at Zhao Gao, "It's easy for Zhao Cheling to say, but how are we going to deal with the construction costs? The empire is in need of money everywhere now, so where is the spare money for this!"

Zhao Gao said, "The treasury of the empire is in urgent need, Zhao Gao knows that, but outside the empire, many people are extremely wealthy! Your Majesty built these observatories for the safety of the empire. Your Majesty is doing this for everyone's safety, so isn't it normal for everyone to contribute a little money?"

Ying Kui said, "You, you are making up stories."

Zhao Gao said, "You are the one who is making up stories, elder!"

At this point, both Zhao Gao and Ying Kui became really angry. The two looked at each other, with their brows fully revealing their strong hostility towards each other!

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Ying Zheng said from behind the curtain, "I'm tired! Let Zhao Gao do this! Dismiss!"

All the ministers bowed and said, "Good morning, Your Majesty!"
