He was so miserable, he pretended to be [Quick Transmigration]

"A garbled piece of insanity, nothing new, not worth listening to."

"We can only give a negative rating of one point. Parents, please be vigilant about letting your children hear this song."

""The Sea of ​​Stars in the Distance" is undoubtedly a failed innovation, and there is no valuable part in sight."

"We have to wonder if E took drugs when he wrote this song. The nightmarish stream-of-consciousness structure is daunting, not to mention the nearly 7-minute enigma."

"Obviously the public jury composed of children did not play its due role. E's No.1 this time is not a glorious victory."

However, even these traditional authoritative music review numbers and aristocratic newspapers all gave the lowest evaluation in the history of "Distant Star Sea", which did not affect the performance of this song breaking one record after another.

After the rematch of the Bling Bling Singer Contest, E lived up to expectations and won No.1, and "The Sea of ​​Stars in the Distance" also became popular overnight. , music library charts, and even the song-demanding channel of the radio station, this song is everywhere.

Especially the previous TV station's broadcast brought this song into the public's field of vision. Even if they didn't pay attention to the singer competition, most of the hundreds of millions of people in the empire are familiar with the melody.

[E, don't listen to what those media say, they are all mouthpieces controlled by nobles! ]

[That’s right, we like to hear and see works, why let them comment! ]

[How old are they?Didn't I always want to promote the original song of praise of Meng Tuan and Hai Yu? ]

[E come on!We'll support you forever! ]

In the comment area of ​​E, there are hundreds of civilian comments every minute.

If the revelation of Meng Tuan's true face and the leak of Haiji and Aqiang's recordings were just the fuse for the common people to express their dissatisfaction with the powerful, this song and E's counterattack when he was hacked in the rematch completely detonated the low class struggle.

In the following half a month, just like "The Star Sea in the Distance", the entire empire fell into a state of fragmentation. Conflicts between civilians and nobles emerged one after another, and the whole society seemed to be divided into two camps.

First, many sweatshops went on strike, because the nobles required employees to work 15 hours a day, and the compensation they provided was just enough to make ends meet.

Then farmers from all over the country protested against exorbitant taxes and sat in to demonstrate, hoping to let those nobles release their land ownership.

Officers and soldiers who were deducted from military pay in the frontier, students who were occupied by nobles with low scores, aliens who were hunted and killed by noble dudes... Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. The hereditary nobles who have harvested a lot of wealth are pitifully small, which makes people feel strongly against the great injustice of social wealth distribution.

And the person in power who should most represent the civilian class, the Speaker of the Lower Council, also had to take the blame and resign because his relationship with Ah Qiang was exposed, and the former secretary Zhu Ping became the Acting Speaker.

"Your Majesty, this is the report just submitted by Zhu Ping. Our cabinet believes that the resistance of these civilians has greatly affected the stability of the empire." The old tortoise tremblingly put a stack of documents in front of the locust tree, "You must take Certain measures have been taken!"

Robinia turned around, looked at the documents coldly, and asked, "Is there any way?"

These days, he has hardly slept at night, as if he is experiencing the biggest crisis since he succeeded to the throne.

The nobles of the upper council are still resisting this turbulent public opinion, intending to bring the empire back on track, while the lower council is in chaos because the speaker has just fallen, and has nothing to do. Therefore, the pressure is now on the locust.

His decision is likely to affect the future fate of the empire, as well as his own fate.

"We must first stabilize the hearts of the people..." The old tortoise gritted his teeth, "I have to admit that we were indeed too harsh on civilians and foreigners before!"

"Traitor!" Locust suddenly burst into a rage, throwing all the documents back on the turtle's face, "You say that, is it because you are from a different race?"

The old tortoise fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, this is the opinion of our cabinet, not just me."

Black Locust sneered: "Heh, all of you are civilians I collected. If it weren't for me, would you be able to get to where you are today? You are still rolling in the mud!"

"Yes……"

"So you came up with the idea that I'd be cast aside by all nobles and royals?"

Robinia was furious, but after a few days of struggling, he knew in his heart that this might be the only solution.

Before, he really wanted to take advantage of the pent-up emotions of the people to counter the protest meeting, but at this moment, he found that this ability was much greater than he had imagined, and he even had a faint tendency to backlash against him, so he still couldn't help feeling afraid.

In the final analysis, he is just a person who cares about his own power and interests. As for civilians, if they cannot be used by him, they are troublesome.

Locust lingered for a while with his hands behind his back, and then asked, "Has E's identity not been found yet?"

The old tortoise shook his head: "His technical means are better than our top engineers, and Bulling Bulling has no obligation to cooperate with us in handing over user identities."

"Oh, you don't want to look for it, do you?" A ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the locust tree, "You can't handle such a trivial matter?"

The old turtle said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent thing is to solve the problem, not the person who raised the problem."

Snapped!

The locust slapped the table with its palm, almost making the sound of the earth shaking, but the old tortoise didn't take half a step back, still looking at the locust.

The pure and firm light in his eyes made it impossible for Robinia to look at him, so he turned his head away in embarrassment.

After a while, he asked again: "How are the preparations for the Three Kingdoms event in ten days' time?"

The envoy from a neighboring country should have been an opportunity to emphasize the status of the empire and demonstrate its national strength, not to mention the presence of thousands of nobles with intricate relationships. The civil strife almost made the other party laugh.

All kinds of troubles came one after another, which made Locust almost walk on the verge of collapse.

The old tortoise had no intention of comforting the young emperor at all, and said bluntly: "Preparing for the grand event does not require much energy and dedication. I only hope that His Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible to restore peace to our empire!"

This time, Huaihuai couldn't put on that furious look anymore, and said in a difficult voice, "Got it."

Then, he thought for a while, "Ask the driver to prepare the car, I'm going to the palace."

Somehow, under such heavy pressure, he suddenly wanted to see that mermaid whom he hadn't seen for a long time.Perhaps, at this moment, only he can soothe all kinds of emotions in his heart.

"cheers!"

Little Totoro, Snake Girl, Han Yi and Wang Xing were sitting in the room of the dungeon toasting together.

"Hi!" Little Totoro rubbed his stuffed stomach with a satisfied face, "Ten days of hard work were not in vain, thank you Miss Wangxing! I really burst into tears when I heard the finished product in Yi's hat, completely controlled Can't live."

"Me too!" Snake sighed, "Although I only did a little work, when you gave me the video, I really cried so loudly, this may be the greatest project I have ever participated in in my life !"

"Really, look at those comments..." Little Totoro wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I think we really did it, we really played for them and for those like us!"

"Respect to Senior Forgetting Star!"

"Respect!"

The four of them had another drink together.

Wang Xing smiled, the sorrow that had been lingering around her before had faded a lot, she looked at Han Yi: "I'm nothing, but I really appreciate you, Yi."

Han Yi filled Wang Xing's mouth, "You still have a good foundation in music, I just did some minor work."

"No..." Wang Xing shook his head, "Your rock style, your singing, and your spirit, without these, "The Sea of ​​Stars Far Away" is nothing, it's all due to you."

"That's right, Yi stop being humble!" Little Totoro stroked his beard, "Besides, apart from your hard work, if it wasn't for your speeches in the background, how could there be such a warm response? I don't even know When did you collect those data!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xing showed a trace of worry: "Yi, now that the entire empire is in such a mess, how are we going to end it..."

"Mr. Zhu will help us in the parliament, while Mr. Zhao and Mr. Ruan are in the literary and art circles, and then I will..." Halfway through Han Yi's answer, he suddenly caught the flash of entanglement in Wang Xing's expression. It turned out that this was not what the other party asked.

So, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Miss Wang Xing, are you still willing to reappear in the public eye?"

"what……"

Wang Xing was momentarily at a loss for words.She never expected that the other party broke her mind exactly.

Ten years ago, before she was imprisoned by the poisonous locust locust, she was a well-deserved superstar, and even the neighboring countries were her fans. She was so dazzling at that time.

But after ten years of living in the dark and secluded dungeon, not only did she lose her appearance, but she also lost her singing voice and all her wealth. Even if she regained her freedom, what would others think of her?How would those who liked her in the past evaluate her now?

This is the worry that has been lingering in her heart for a long time, and it is also the reason why she was unwilling to help Yi before, but this victory gave her a ray of hope, not to mention that there is still an old friend Zhu Pinghe in the free world... He, are waiting for her.

Extremely entangled, she could only ask Xiang Yi for help, "What about you, are you ready for this?"

And hope that this mermaid who has the same experience as her can give herself some strength.

Little Totoro and Snake Girl also looked at Yi, unknowingly, he had become their spiritual support.

Han Yi smiled very calmly, "Of course."

Wang Xing hesitated, "Why are you so sure?"

"Because I never belonged here." Han Yi's eyes were extremely firm, "Even if I am spurned by outsiders, no matter how much ridicule I receive, I will stand under the sun. At worst, I will wash dishes and sweep the streets. No matter what, I must use labor in exchange for life, instead of becoming the collection and plaything of that tyrant!"

Wang Xing was stunned.

"Also, it's not that Senior Wang Xing has lost everything. It doesn't have to be as hard as I said." Han Yi took the simple piano keys on the side and placed them beside her bed. "You still have music."

Wang Xing looked at the black and white keys to which she had given all her feelings, and after a while, murmured: "Yes... I still have music."

"Actually, don't talk about big things, I have a very small dream, but I think it will come true soon," Han Yi said with a relaxed tone, "I want to play with you under the sun, you can still Remember that feeling of performing live?"

"Of course!" Little Totoro excitedly said, "Those applause, cheers..."

"The tremors when the fingers slide on the strings, the sound is roaring around, everyone's heartbeat is in the same beat as myself..." Snake Girl added.

Wang Xing closed his eyes, seemed to start to imagine, and sighed: "Can I really go back to the stage?"

"Yes." Han Yi smiled lightly, "We will have the opportunity to perform freely soon... Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?" The three looked at him puzzled.

Han Yi pointed to the outside, "The sound of the wheels, locust locusts are coming."

When Robinia walked into the little mermaid's room, he found him leaning against the huge French window, looking into the distance.

The moonlight lightly covered the already pale skin of the mermaid like a tulle, and the curly hair of the mermaid looked like a dream in contrast to the dim night sky outside.

There was a sad look in his emerald green eyes, and the scar on his neck hadn't healed yet, making him even more bleak.

But what is the little mermaid looking at?

Locust lost his mind for a moment, just quietly looking at his collection.

Of course Han Yi heard the sound of the other party opening the door, but turned around after a while, pretending to be surprised: "Your Majesty, are you here?"

"En." Only then did Robinia come back to his senses, and walked to Han Yi with his hands behind his back, "What are you looking at?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I didn't see anything." Han Yi lowered his head, took the opportunity to quickly look at the opponent's hands, and found that he was not holding a whip, so he smiled slightly.

"You mustn't lie to me," Robinson approached Han Yi, "You are obviously looking at something, and you are very engrossed."

Han Yi didn't want the other party's dirty hands to pinch his face again, so he restrained his expression and raised his head: "Actually, I'm looking at the stars, Your Majesty."

Locust smiled and sat on the bed, "This answer is not bad."

"Yes," Han Yi staggered so that the other party could see the starry sky behind him clearly, "In my hometown, mermaids often observe the stars, because we believe that the stars entrust a lot of things related to the soul, and there are even people who watch the stars. The celebrations of the Star Festival..."

"Oh?" Locust became interested, "I didn't even know you could do this... Then what did you observe?"

"I don't really understand that..." Han Yi adjusted his tone, trying to sound as sincere as possible, and then said: "I just look at the stars, and suddenly I feel homesick."

As soon as these words came out, Robin Locust's expression changed a few times, but in the end, he was not as furious as the worst outcome Han Yi imagined. He just turned his head away and took a heavy breath for a while.

Then he changed the subject very abruptly.

"I have a song I want to show you."

Han Yi showed appropriate excitement and anticipation, "Alright Your Majesty, what song is it?"

Robinia took out the tablet, "It's a song that has become very popular in the lower society recently. Since you were also a singer before, I want to hear your opinion."

"Oh well."

In the remaining 7 minutes, Han Yi had to listen to "The Sea of ​​Stars in the Distance" as if he was listening to it for the first time, and made eye contact with Robinia from time to time.

At the end of the song, Han Yi sighed secretly, feeling that his acting skills had improved again.

"How is it?" Robinia asked pretending to be casual.

"It's punchy, almost sounds like—"

"Want to dance, don't you?" Robinia helped him complete the second part of the sentence, "Everyone says so, but I don't think that's why the lower society likes it so much."

"Then what do you think is the reason?"

"Because this kind of music is very provocative, but I'm not completely negative like those nobles, in fact, the theme of the song is also very moving to me."

"Impressed... you?"

"Yes, the singer sings as if he were in a cage far from home," Locust said with a tinge of indignation. "Who isn't in a cage? Aren't I struggling in Parliament and Cabinet?" Do you want to survive?"

"Yes……"

shit.

Han Yi rolled his eyes in his heart, the tyrant seemed to feel that he was quite pitiful, whether he was in a prison or not. Han Yi didn't want to go into it, but Han Yi knew that as long as the locust locust died, there would be more than a dozen aliens who would not be here again. In a cage.

But he still had to be patient and listen to Robin Locust.

"I'm afraid it's useless to tell you, but I have no one else to talk about..."

Then, Black Locust talked to Han Yi about the dispute with the parliament, the social turmoil, the upcoming feast of the Three Kingdoms and so on.

Han Yi listened to the other party's selfish remarks from his own point of view countless times, not the empire or the common people, and really resisted the urge to gag.

What kind of selfish and stupid emperor is Robin Locust, who still prioritizes protecting his own status under such circumstances?

"In short, the lower parliament has become a mess. Every day, countless nobles come to see them, just to let me find a way to help them control those common people..." Locust hammered the bed, "And my cabinet actually asked me to report to those common people. Compromise, it's a joke in the world! When will the imperial family give up power like a commoner!"

After finishing speaking, it took a long time, and Robinia still couldn't calm down. It seemed that these words had really been held back for a long time.

Then, he looked at Han Yi, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think I can speak to state affairs..."

"No, I want you to tell."

Han Yi pretended to be timid, "Okay, I have some ideas..."

The tyrant's stupidity just shows what he cares most about, which allows Han Yi to target.

"I think the current difficulty is nothing more than the common people have many opinions, but they cannot be recognized by the nobles. But in fact, there is room for them to speak in our system."

Locust became interested, "Oh?"

"Yes, the existence of the Lower Council is exactly for this," Han Yi carefully chose his words, "You told me before that the Lower Council has always been controlled by the hereditary nobles of the Upper Council...but if, Is the lower parliament really just speaking out for the common people?"

"Your Majesty's lower council should not be composed of puppets of nobles or children from rich families, not to mention, those people are your enemies."

"Scholars should be recruited from people all over the world, and the assessment system should be improved, regardless of origin, only ability."

"First of all, as soon as the system comes out, just completing the exam will attract the attention of many civilians. Moreover, after they form a new lower council and start to speak out for all civilians, the speed of the proposal process and the size of the proposal will also be determined by His Majesty. under control?"

"All your majesty needs to do is to put forward reform proposals. This will allow the hopes of the masses to bloom in the palm of your majesty. Let the knowledge learned by the talents of the world only serve you, the emperor. Let you Become a wise king in the hearts of the common people who has tens of millions of times the number of people compared to noble capital, and let the public opinion stand on your side forever!"

After Han Yi finished speaking, he looked at the locust tree.

Robinia was also looking at him, as if there was no one else in this world.

Following Han Yi's narration, the emperor's eyes gradually brightened, even though he didn't want to admit it, but these days, he has long stopped treating the mermaid as a mere vase.Whether it's the opponent's hands that can almost be called magic, or the opponent's many suggestions, they can always accurately hit the place where he is most useful.

Originally, he could easily possess this mermaid, but at this moment he seemed hesitant...

A thought that he never had before rose up in his heart - he wanted to let the mermaids get the utmost respect.

It's as if he has the most precious and eye-catching collection in the world, and he can't suppress the urge to make it public.

"Very good!" Robinia stood up and laughed heartily, "My cabinet has not made this suggestion, Yi, only you can help me relieve my worries!"

Han Yi lowered her head shyly.

It's always easy to get a bargain and then act good.

And of course he can guess why the cabinet did not make this suggestion, because the cabinet is all upright ministers. They know that even if the lower council is really controlled by the common people, many decision-making powers will still be in the hands of the emperor and the powerful, and they cannot really solve the problem. question.

But what they don't know is that this emperor and those dignitaries... will not exist for a long time.

Black locusts stood side by side beside Han Yi, unable to hide the joy in their hearts, looking at the starry sky: "You just said that you were homesick?"

"Yes," Han Yi said, "but I'm not really homesick. After all, no family expects me...Maybe I just miss life outside."

"Very good!" Locust was overjoyed, and then he offered an invitation.

An invitation that Han Yi has been waiting for.

"Yi, I want you to attend the Three Kingdoms Grand Meeting with me," Huaihuai breathed a sigh of relief, "I want to take you out of this palace, give you the supreme status and rights, and make you a shining existence second only to me!"

"Zhu Ping also suggested to me to hold the singer contest at the banquet to show my tolerance!" Huaihuai excitedly said, "With you, a foreigner who was spurned by everyone before, by my side... I will definitely win everyone! Respect! All civilians and dignitaries, and even those foreign envoys, they will definitely remember me forever!"

"They will say, it was me who saved the entire empire!" Locust's eyes were full of madness, and he was already lost in this extremely beautiful dream.

Han Yi smiled, a very bright smile.

"Of course, Your Majesty," Han Yi said seriously, "You will be remembered by everyone."
