Boundary Shattered [Interstellar]

Lian Ting was the first to react, and at this time four slaves had already flown from all directions, very close at hand. At the very moment, Lian Ting stood up, threw Tang Chu beside him onto the wheelchair, and covered him tightly with himself to protect him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise soaring into the sky, even forming a high cloud of smoke, and the nearby stone wall collapsed, more than doubling the width of this section of ground fissure.

The rumbling red stones were still falling, and the place where Lian Ting and Tang Chu were originally was turned into a pile of rocks.The corner of the gravel moved slightly, and Fang Rongsheng showed a smiling face.

He glanced back at his legs under the stone indifferently, reached into his mouth with his blood-stained fingers and groped, and took out a silver signal device the size of a grain of rice.He squeezed it hard with two fingers and crushed it.

It became.

Why do we need to resort to means to get the ownership of Lianting?As long as he dies, the Legion of Glory must re-elect an heir.

Just a slave.

Tang Wanli knew that things were in serious trouble when he saw Tang Jing on the live broadcast of the Imperial Affairs Conference.

He put on the virtual mask, dressed up a bit, and went to the place where he was meeting his subordinates.There was only one small alley in the dirty and messy slave trading market, and no one walked around. He entered it, turned a corner quickly, and opened a hidden door on the wall.

His body disappeared, and the door behind him was restored to an ordinary brick wall.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xi was the only one waiting inside.

Tang Xi's disguise was a short, sharp middle-aged man with a full face of beard, full of hostility.But Tang Xi was able to control it very well, so he sat on the bench casually and said:

"It's just waiting for you. You forgot to reissue the terminal again, didn't you?"

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and suddenly became vicious.

Tang Wanli also sat down, and sighed wearily, "Have you heard the news?"

Tang Xi said: "Of course, such a big matter, but don't worry..."

Tang Wanli suddenly raised his voice: "Voting has already started! Don't worry yet! What about them? Why are you the only one?"

Tang Xi was stunned by his yelling, and then retorted: "You can't contact yourself! The marshal came back, and Lieutenant Lei Mo told us not to worry, and we don't need to take any action, so they didn't come, I was afraid that you would rush empty..."

Tang Xi's voice stopped suddenly, because Tang Wanli, who was opposite him, took off his virtual mask and squeezed the bridge of his nose with two fingers. When he raised his eyes again, he saw a pair of bright red pupils.

Tang Xi was astonished and held his breath.

It took Tang Wanli a full minute for his pupils to turn back to black. He looked very weak. Tang Xi said worriedly:

"...Is it serious?"

Tang Wanli said: "Don't worry, there is still medicine left."

"...It's not about the medicine..."

"Sorry, my tone was heavy just now... You said, the marshal is back?"

Tang Xi nodded, "Earlier you said that Lian Ting was positioned at Red Star, so he should have been taken there by Young Master Tang. Since Lian Ting is here, no matter what happens at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, nothing will happen to the royal family. It's a lot easier to deal with. Take it easy."

Tang Wanli said: "They made good calculations, thinking that once Tang Chu died, Lian Ting, as his slave, must also be killed, but in fact there is a law they ignored, even if Lian Ting is a slave, he is also a member of the military. Military personnel are independent of social status and cannot be shot casually."

Tang Xi opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Really?!"

Tang Wanli nodded, "But this is useless now. I really didn't expect... The Tang family would cooperate with the third prince. I shouldn't have negotiated with Tang Jing, and I don't know how Zero Five is doing on Red Star." .”

Tang Xi leaned closer and patted Tang Wanli on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's just that... we learned of the third prince's plan too late, Zero Wu wanted to threaten Tang Chu to transfer ownership... I'm afraid it won't work .”

Just as Tang Wanli was about to say something, the terminal on Tang Xi's wrist flickered, and a person's image appeared on the light screen in the air.

This is a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, wearing a dark blue military-style dress with silver thread tattooed on the neckline and shoulders.The military cap was buckled on the top of the head squarely, without any skew. Underneath was slightly curly brown hair, with the ends curled up sharply outside the military cap, looking a bit mighty.

Tang Wanli straightened up quickly, and raised his arms in a standard salute: "Marshal."

Tang Xi was obviously overjoyed, and greeted respectfully, "Hi, Marshal."

Behind Marshal Yuan Yue in the light screen is a silver crystal panel wall, which is used for live broadcasting across the empire.After Marshal Yuan Yue nodded, Tang Xi asked:

"Marshal, are you...?"

Yuan Yue said: "The live broadcast of the bill referendum."

Tang Xi stood up abruptly, "It's started?! Are they moving so fast? How come!"

There was also a clearly visible look of shock on Tang Wanli's face.

But Yuan Yue said: "I contacted you just to tell you not to worry." He smiled, "Follow the live broadcast, since I'm back, you don't have to worry."

He turned to Tang Wanli and frowned, "Where's your terminal? It's broken again? What else is broken besides the terminal? Go to Tang Xi before the next attack, let him take care of it, and save you some coins .”

Tang Wanli said shyly, "I...have no shortage of star coins."

Yuan Yue snorted, and Tang Wanli shut up embarrassingly.

"Then invite them, as well as the people of the entire empire..." Yuan Yue narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a sharp light flashing inside.

"...Please look forward to it."

At this time, the citizens of the whole empire were discussing in full swing.

Just an hour ago, the third prince, the representative of the royal family, announced the decision made after discussions among the cabinet ministers. He decided to change the status of the military department and issued a referendum for the entire empire.

But they were not discussing how the political departments of the empire had changed.Anyway, they are just civilians, and they don't care much about the superstructure, but they can participate. Just this one thing makes it attractive and influential enough.

Random discussions on big and small political matters on the star network, general chatter about opinions on occasional imperial news, and referendums on major imperial events are almost the only opportunities for civilians to "contact" politics.

Among all the voices, the most enthusiastic one was the discussion about the 42 students of the No. [-] Military Academy who were proven dead in the live broadcast of the military academy drill that was unexpectedly stopped midway this year, and the most topical topic was the accidental death of Tang Chu, the young master of the Tang family.

Tang Jing, who presided over the referendum, looked sad: "For the unexpected incident of the 42 outstanding students of the empire, on behalf of the entire cabinet, I express my deep condolences... In order to clean up the political system of the empire and avoid such incidents from happening again in the future... I plan to make the military department independent Decisions were made on the sub-laws outside all the branches of power' to be administered under the same administration as the political branch..."

The image of Tang Jing in the hearts of the citizens of the empire has always been that of a gentle, kind, and magnanimous aristocrat who does not have the vices of most aristocrats, and is a rare person with good conduct and ability.After Tang Jing, the third prince who revealed the most to the public also spoke publicly.

The third prince has always paid attention to shaping his image in front of the public, and now it finally came in handy.He also first expressed his sorrow for the death of 42 military cadets, and expressed his public condolences to their families; then he expressed his support for the reform of the military department, and promised a series of benefits after the general department was transformed into a military department. .

Even the emperor, Slav Ulanto, who had always been sitting in the rear, showed up to speak.

The referendum is in full swing, as if there is an undercurrent surging underneath it, hidden and hidden.Something has crumbled a corner.

The only bright screen in the darkness dutifully played this incident, Tang Yu was half lying on the head of the bed, lowering her eyes thoughtfully.

The result of the referendum is calculated by the empire's intelligent system, and it cannot be faked at all, and it is difficult for them to work so hard to influence the citizens' senses and win people's hearts.

but……

He opened the terminal and called up the interface.

The signal of the identity chip belonging to his eldest son Tang Chu was still green, which meant that he was not dead as the news said.

There was a hint of meaning in his eyes.

The speeches of Patriarch Tang Jing, the Third Prince, the Emperor of the Empire, and many other government officials with a good image to the outside world had a good effect. With 90.00% of the citizens' approval votes point to one, the reform of the military department is already an inevitable result.

In fact, this matter is not that difficult, and the only difficult thing, no matter Tang Jing, the third prince, or even the emperor, can't do it.If we talk about the speeches and parliaments of the third prince and the cabinet, as well as the deaths of the 42 military cadets, what they really did was to confuse the citizens.

——Because the only difficult thing is, in fact, the legal provisions on the independence of the military department are not only stipulated in the sub-law, but also in the matrilineal law that most citizens don't know much about.

The laws of the subsidiary line shall not contravene the laws of the mother line.

And any change to matriarchal laws must be approved by 90.00% of the empire's population.

90.00% of the empire's population, not empire citizens.

In the imperial rule, at least 30.00% of the population is slaves.

It is impossible to get the number of votes.

The moment the statistics came out, all members of the royal family and cabinet ministers couldn't help but smile.

The division of the military department into the political department can finally begin.Although follow-up problems still exist, they believe that time will always turn all unreasonable things into rational ones, and turn their secret plans into open and aboveboard.

Tang Jing looked through the comments of the citizens on the star network with satisfaction, and bowed to the third prince on the other side:

"Third prince, congratulations."

The third prince smiled gently and said "Congratulations", but suddenly his eyes froze.

Tang Jing followed his gaze and saw the screen he was looking at just now.The live broadcast is still going on, but this time the protagonists are not them, but Marshal Yuan Yue who has not seen him for a long time and returned to the Imperial Capital Star at some point.

He stayed silently on the screen for a few minutes, until the number of people watching the live broadcast rose to a huge number, he finally made a move.

"I'm Yuan Yue."

Then he stretches out his arm and pulls someone in from offscreen.This is a young man who looks very quiet, his mouth is pursed shyly, and he doesn't even dare to look up at the screen.

He stammered:

"I...I like studying law...I...my name is Cheng Feng."
