[Spell Back to Battle] Asuka

47.

"What's going on? Xia You? Why is Jiuchuan Asuka in the hands of the military?!" The chief elder lost his calmness in the past, and was as irritable as a lion with a broken tooth, pacing back and forth in the room: " How the hell did you do it? I didn't tell you—”

"That's what I want to ask you too." Xia Youjie didn't show the slightest bit of guilt because of his anger.He sat leisurely on his seat, and asked back: "I thought you succeeded in persuading Yi Gu Youtai that he was working for you, so you didn't continue to intervene in this matter. It's your responsibility, right, Mr. Elder?"

The elder of the Kamo family had veins popping out of his forehead.

"Military, those people in the military..." he cursed in an old voice indistinctly, "Those arrogant bastards obviously look down on Otoko Yuta—if the military really wants to protect him, Hisakawa Asuka , before they are imprisoned, they can be kept completely, instead of making such a gesture of justice now to pick up the leaks of the elders' house...!"

"Why did Yigu Youtai rehabilitate and recommend Jiuchuan Asuka...Only those foolish people will believe that the military is not doing these things for their own interests, but for the fairness and equality of bullshit...Tsk, a group of people who are easily incited Idiots! Now they actually think that the Imperial House of Elders and the Parliament are the culprits..."

He walked to the window irritably, and saw a large number of people from the imperial capital who had come to demonstrate outside the courtyard wall.Those people held signs in their hands, and electronic fireworks exploded in the air with the words "the person who made this decision should take the blame and resign" and "shit policy".

He gritted his teeth and scolded "idiots", but he couldn't let the guards drive those people away - the previous violent suppression had made the people even more dissatisfied, and when the military refused to cooperate with the forceful suppression, the Presbyterian House had no choice but to deploy the police. This also made the presbytery's reputation worse.

Xia Youjie didn't bother to point out a fact: if the empire hadn't allowed the common people at the bottom to receive no education, and deliberately spread some anti-intellectual remarks beneficial to the rule, making them stupid and easy to incite, the class antagonism established by the elders' house would not be so stable .People with vested interests who listen to the policy of fooling the people are here to scold the foolish people, and it is funny to think about it.

But now, those protest rallies and the public opinion on the star network have fermented to the current level, and the past arrogant behavior of the elders' house and the royal family naturally contributed a lot.The activities of the many messy things they have done in these years can not be called secret. Under the impetus of people with good intentions, they have been exposed and publicized to the point where they can only be blamed.

Those stupid monkeys can finally realize that they have been deceived and used all the time, and then launch some insignificant resistance-ha, Xia Youjie scoffed in his heart at their stupidity of being incited to follow suit-but this is a good thing, of course it is Good thing, the more turbulent the situation, the more room for him to play.The resistance of the monkeys is not completely useless, and the military with the support of "public opinion" can completely shake the elders' house.

As for the royal family?Not worth mentioning.The royal family has declined in recent years, leaving only the old-school emperors to protect what little power they have by banning voting in open elections.The power is actually in the hands of the aristocratic families: the seats in the House of Elders and the Parliament are basically controlled by those famous aristocratic families.They defended the imperial power because they believed that under the rule of the imperial power, they could stand above the class and get more benefits. If open elections and the federal system could give them more, they would naturally defect easily.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xia Youjie's mouth curled into a sarcasm, and he patiently communicated with the monkeys—he was always very patient and persuasive when it came to valuable monkeys: "Mr. Will it affect the image of the royal family?"

The chief elder stopped, his gray eyebrows slightly raised.

"Of course," he clearly understood Xia Youjie's subtext, and his worried voice seemed quite hypocritical, "If many things hadn't been for the royal family's will, they wouldn't have gone to this point—if it wasn't for the third prince who was obsessed with sex If it wasn't for His Majesty's love for his young son and his anger, he wouldn't have put pressure on the Elders' House and the Omega Protection Association to let that Ms. Wei Jiuchuan suffered so much unfair treatment..."

This is the meaning of letting the imperial family completely take the blame.Even though it is the Yusan Family who secretly controls the empire, in the eyes of the people, the emperor is still the emperor with the highest power in the empire.If all the responsibility is shifted to the emperor, many people should believe this explanation, and thus whitewash the elders' house.

Xia Youjie obviously didn't have good intentions to help the elders' house to clean up.

After realizing that the elder was biting the bait, he naturally continued: "But with the pride of the royal family, the emperor should not come forward and publicly apologize for this matter, and the image and reputation of the royal family will probably be far worse than before... Then For the sake of social stability, I am afraid that the House of Elders or the Parliament must stand up and give an explanation to the common people, otherwise the chaos will be difficult to quell."

"The elders have nothing to do with this matter." The elder sneered, "I know what you're planning—young man, don't try to sow discord. The interests of the elders and the royal family are far away." They are more inseparable than you imagined. You support the constitutional monarchy, open elections, and want to use this to support your own power, don’t think about using the House of Elders as a weapon.”

Obviously last second he was thinking of shifting all the responsibility to the royal family, but this second he said some high-sounding words righteously.

The face-changing skills of old people have always been superb, and Xia Youjie has experienced it many times.He showed a harmless smile: "As you said before, I am now on the same boat as the elders' house. The military has always advocated that I be executed. I don't want to die yet. Of course, I can't watch the military take advantage of this storm. Expansion of power——so I am indeed considering the House of Elders."

The elder narrowed his eyes in disbelief.

"Continue talking." He glanced at the secretary standing at the door, then looked back at Xia Youjie.

Xia Youjie noticed his little movements, and his heart moved slightly.

He put his arms around his chest and continued: "My opinion is that since the reputation of the royal family is destined to be irreparable, and the people are unlikely to support the regime as they did in the past, it is better for the House of Elders to propose a constitutional monarchy and overwhelm the military. Gain the support of the populace . . . and take their place and become the true rulers of the empire."

"As for the open election proposed by the people, it is very simple to satisfy the royal family after the royal family is settled, right?" He spread his hands. It’s just a pretense and a toy for fools.”

The elder frowned thoughtfully.

"The military...does it really have further plans?" He stroked his beard and asked with a frown.

"I'm afraid it is true." Xia Youjie shook his finger, "There is definite news that the marshal may even plan to initiate..."

He made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"If it is preempted by the military, the House of Elders will have no advantage at all."

The congregation of the Panxing Sect spreads all over the empire, and many of them are high-ranking and powerful people.Even if Xia Youjie is in prison, he still controls the Panxing Sect.Even the elders of the Kamo family dare not underestimate such an intricate information network.

The elder seemed lost in thought.

After a long while, he raised his eyes, and his old eyes were full of light: "That's it. Come here, let everyone in the Chanyuan family—"

"The backward system of the empire is also time for reform."

Xia Youjie pinched his chin, his eyes full of complacency.He seemed to inadvertently follow the eyes of the elder to look at the Alpha secretary who opened the door and stood in the shadow. There seemed to be a stitched scar looming in the shadow under the latter's bangs.

He looked at the man's back and recorded the doubts in his heart.

48.

Yi Gu returned my optical brain to me.

When the shell was damaged, he helped me take out the memory stick and equipped me with a new mobile terminal, which is convenient for me to connect to the star network, contact others, and handle affairs.

After going through so many things, I have a certain understanding of the means of the elders’ house and the military, so that I can guess who wrote the news when I saw the news: those who sow discord and send some "Omega cheating rich man gave birth to The news about "three children" should be the elders' house. Many people gathered under the news and were cursing (among them were Omega who had been successfully brainwashed). Said "Some Omega just see the money".

News such as "the military supports Hisakawa Asuka", "a detailed count of the ten crimes of the royal family and the elders' house", "the marshal's speech: long live equality" should be written by the military. In fact, the current image of the military is comparable to that of the elders' house It's so much better, and it's also inseparable from their PR.

The advantage of the existence of the star network is that the transmission of information has indeed become faster-the disadvantage is that the channels through which people receive information are controlled by others.In the past when information was occluded, people paid attention to seeing is believing at any rate, and Xingwang has greatly lowered the threshold for seeing is believing. Under the control of certain forces, most of the time people can only see what others want them to think is true. the news.

In today's world, everyone is locked in an invisible cage, but they think they are free.But in fact, as long as people live in society, there is no completely free person—other people's vision, opinions, traditional concepts, unspoken rules... Everyone is imprisoned, and everyone actively imprisons others.

I refreshed the news page and saw a message that "the chief elder risked his life to remonstrate, and the emperor of the empire was furious", and couldn't help raising my eyebrows: "This is..."

The driver was driving ahead, rationally keeping silent.In the back seat of the car, Yi Gu sat on my right side.

He leaned over to take a look, and said clearly: "It seems that the Yusan family is planning to start shirking responsibility."

Before I arrived at the Academy of Sciences, I quickly browsed through a few pieces of news, and extracted the outline: These revelations, whether true or false, all point to the arrogance and domineering of the imperial family, which put pressure on the elders’ house, which led to my being treated unfairly and jailed. Dang goes to jail.

"How could the House of Elders tear themselves apart from the royal family so quickly?" I laughed, "It seems that the interest relationship between them is not as strong as I thought. I thought they would be bound together and destroyed because of old-fashionedness."

"The Yusan family doesn't have such a long relationship. On the contrary, in the face of interests, they are absolutely water-based." Yi Gu raised the baffle between the back seat and the driver's seat, "In the face of interests, the political views of the old school are justified. Nothing matters anymore."

But I think things are not that simple.

Although the House of Elders pursues interests, the elder of Kamo’s family can’t say how radical he acted. It’s really unexpected that he reacted so quickly this time.

Thinking of the "cooperation" between Xia Youjie and the Elder's House, I probably had the answer in my heart: that guy's eloquence has always been good, and with the background of the Panxing Sect, the elders believe that his judgment is also normal.

And if it is under his guidance, I see the possibility of successful implementation of a constitutional monarchy and open elections.Xia Youjie probably wished the situation would be more chaotic, so it was only natural to support this.

The new interstellar shuttle of the E10 model is very fast, and it takes only 10 minutes to travel from Yi Gu's home to the Academy of Sciences.

I accepted General Aili's invitation, and Yi Gu sent me to visit the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Even though, for various reasons, I was actually quite repulsed by the trip - but once I made up my mind, I realized that to get there I had to do things I didn't want to do and make some self-sacrifices.

And going to the Academy of Sciences was a sacrifice I had to make.I naturally know what General Ellie wants me to do and what I want to do with my abilities, but I must get the support of the military, and it is inevitable to give the Academy of Sciences a little sweetness for this.

Yi Gu's car was stopped at the outer wall of the Academy of Sciences.

"The confidential area, only she can enter." The guard said to Yi Gu with a cold face.

Yi Gu frowned slightly.

I stopped him by the shoulder and said easily, "It's okay, I'm not in danger on the military's territory."

The guard saluted me and opened the door for me: "Ms. Jiuchuan, hello. Just go straight, the general is waiting for you in front."

"I see."

I said goodbye to Yi Gu, nodded to the guards, and calmly entered the white wall.

The Academy of Sciences is heavily guarded, with one after another cold white walls standing.The colors of the buildings are all cold white and gray, revealing a cold and hard atmosphere.

I was looking around when I heard the communicator suddenly ring.

It's Xia Youjie.

"Are you willing to go to the Academy of Sciences?" On the other end of the phone, Xia Youjie's voice sounded a little lazy, as if he had just woken up, "I thought you would abide by your own principles."

"Adhering to the principles will not get me to the top of this society - I can only conform to the rules, join the rules, become a person who can change the rules, and then make new rules." I said coldly, "This is what I should do now... …my plan."

Xia Youjie laughed, "It's like something you would say."

"It's hard, you should be aware of this." His voice was ethereal and deep, "The old-school vested interests resist innovation, not just the elders, the royal family, and the family. Without enough interests, you can't get through anything other than an iron fist." They don’t care about equality, they don’t care about your ideals — neither does the military, and at the end of the day, they only care about their own interests.”

"Then give them benefits." I stood in front of the white gate of the Academy of Sciences, looked at General Aili who was beckoning to me not far away, lowered my voice, and said decisively, "Let them see what they want, and see Until the hope of getting it is enough, greedy politicians will not let this go, for these benefits, they will actively pave the way for me and send me to the top."

"What can you do after reaching the top?" His voice was also very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. "You can't do anything. People's hearts are the most difficult thing to change. Even if you want to implement some rules , and can’t change those foolish people who are obedient and obedient. Dark stories will still be staged in the most remote corners. They will treat your orders as waste paper, burn heretics who are different from their class, and scold you. No one will care about you Original intention, I don’t know that you saved them.”

"I don't care about that," I said, "I don't care what they think—but they must do what I say. My decrees will be everywhere, and I'll sweep the dust from the darkest corners empty."

"No one is wrong, everyone is wrong. What is wrong is the pressure that society puts on them, and society divides them into different classes, and they live as they want them to live - ridiculously, Society is made of them."

"And I will lift everything, bear everything they have suffered, become this society, and turn everything into what it should be. When I become the only right in the world, I want them to be free and equal, and they have no choice. "

There was a suffocating silence that lasted more than a minute from the other side of the communicator.

We listened to each other's rapid breathing and fell silent.

One minute later, Xia Youjie broke the silence.

He laughed, uncontrollably, with relief, surprise, and approval.

"I'm always struck by some of the similarities between us, it's like seeing another me in the world." His low laugh vibrates on my eardrums, "You've already thought it through? This Was it the choice you made? Amazing, amazing oratorical talent, Asuka, you'd be fit to be a politician. When you give a campaign speech, the whole of Capitol Hill will go crazy over your performance."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I've already walked in front of General Allie." I nodded to General Allie, with a polite smile that met social expectations, "Don't just say, remember to vote for me when I run for election That’s it—that’s all for now, see you later.”
