Chapter One(1/2)

The enthronement ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor really excited the people for a long time.

But Sibia is an empire that has been ravaged by war after all, and every copper in the treasury must be used to restore national strength. Therefore, except for the Holy Capital, other provinces did not hold large-scale celebrations.

The provincial capital held a celebratory parade or something.

Compared with other countries where everyone celebrates even the smallest things, this kind of celebration seems shabby and stingy, but ordinary citizens are very satisfied. Because a series of new laws promulgated by the country have begun to be implemented throughout the empire, almost

Most of the ten laws reduce miscellaneous taxes, which means that from now on, everyone's burden will be reduced a lot.

Under such circumstances, some other laws and regulations that have nothing to do with you temporarily become less important, and for ordinary people, national affairs are far away from them, and they are not necessarily as proud as the empire -

—The private life of His Majesty the Emperor is more attractive.

During these days of carnival, His Majesty the Emperor's happy life was once the number one hot topic, and the hottest topic was the various messages from the four imperial concubines, because all internal affairs orders had six signatures.

They are the emperor, the prime minister, and the four internal affairs supervisors.

Not only signatures, but many laws closely related to national life were proposed and implemented by the Internal Affairs Supervisors. In comparison, His Majesty the Emperor only proposed laws related to military affairs... These things surprised everyone to find that the royal family is not only the emperor and the country.

The two of them are supporting the scene, and there are other outstanding members of this family.

Of course, the emperor and the prime minister have been familiar to everyone for a long time, but the citizens are not very familiar with the four internal affairs supervisors. Most of them still stay in the classical understanding of "they are the emperor's concubines". Until

Now, they know that these four imperial concubines hold great power, and they are not as simple as vases. Through these decrees that are beneficial to people's livelihood, the prestige of the imperial concubines has soared rapidly, and each has a large number of admirers.

In an empire, it is true that there are idols to worship, but the behavior of the citizens of Sibia seems to be closer to their emperor... According to tradition, every official institution will hang portraits of members of the royal family, and the portraits of these four imperial concubines

, whether it is the whole body, half body or front and side, all will be lost after hanging it for less than three days.

In the end, there was really no choice but to allocate money to batch-print small portraits of royal family members for distribution. Although not everyone could get one, it also somewhat curbed the trend of stealing paintings.

The topic of idols is endless, and the excited people began to bet with each other. Some said that the first emperor fell in love with the first imperial concubine Feline Rona because she had the greatest power; some said that the emperor's favorite was the first imperial concubine.

The third imperial concubine is Wen Silly, because this imperial concubine is the most gentle and approachable; some also say that His Majesty the Emperor will hold a beauty pageant soon to enrich the harem...

But no matter what, these things can also reflect some information from the side, showing that everyone is optimistic about the future development of the empire.

At the same time, an extremely large number of alien races appeared in the city that had only been inhabited by humans before. Among them were officials, soldiers, craftsmen and businessmen. They brought their families and came all the way from their original gathering place.

In some cities, they took over housing from the rebel side, and in other cities, they built their own housing to form neighborhoods.

It is not easy for human residents to immediately accept these new neighbors. The habits accumulated over thousands of years cannot be easily changed. Although the younger generation, especially the soldiers, are not disgusted with foreign races, the Sibia Empire is not

Only young people. What’s more, for some members of the human race, despising, ignoring, and even despising foreign races is a necessary means for them to express their sense of self-superiority...

For elegant races like elves, it's okay to say that most human eyes stay on their appearance, but for races like half-orcs or sand people, you can imagine the treatment they receive.

But now, foreign races appear with a big sign like "Friends of the Emperor" on their heads. If you want to bully them, you have to weigh your own weight first. But in the same area, you can't always look up and see each other when you look down.

Should we look at each other with cold eyes? How to get along with them has become a big problem facing all citizens.

The behavior of citizens can be restricted by laws, but ideology cannot be controlled by laws. If it were in the past, most citizens would go to the temple to seek guidance, but at this time, the priests of the temple did not dare to control the domestic affairs of Sbia.

Comment on anything.

So at this time, the proposal jointly issued by the four imperial concubines reached every corner of the country. There were no righteous empty words in the proposal. The imperial concubines only used gentle words and asked every citizen of the household to get to know someone.

We have a new neighbor, have a meal together, and say hello when we meet...

Under the joint call of the imperial concubines, most of the citizens began to experiment with communicating with foreign races. Although disputes of one kind or another occurred, from an overall perspective, regardless of human race or foreign race, everyone deepened in this cautious exchange.

Got some understanding.

In the absence of instigation by certain forces, and with proper official guidance, the Sibia Empire naturally formed an environment conducive to integration. As long as there were no prejudices, humans could easily discover the commonalities between each other and themselves. In fact,

Humans and aliens have a lot in common.

Gradually, the Sibia Empire showed its magnanimity and broad-mindedness. The aliens who followed His Majesty Cohen were generally welcomed. The human residents held gifts in their hands and knocked on the doors of the alien neighbors who had just moved in.

, using his sincere smile and fire-like enthusiasm to interpret friendship and goodwill to his foreign neighbors.

However, other countries on the continent are concerned about another thing that happened in the Sibia Empire - the construction of the army. Sibia has begun to recruit soldiers, and the scope and quantity of this recruitment are very rare in recent years.

Three hundred thousand young people between the ages of 20 and 25 were drafted into the army and entered training grounds in various provinces one after another to begin their military careers.

Of course, for an empire that is close to the dividing line between gods and demons, having half a million troops is not too much. However, everyone is a little afraid of Korn Keda's army, so naturally they pay more attention to it.

In fact, there is no need to worry too much, because in the current Sibia Empire, most of the people standing guard on the border are farmers - citizens who serve during the off-season. They wear commoners and walk on the border with tattered weapons, allowing them to

The worries of other empires have eased a lot.

Apart from these circumstances, there seemed to be no changes in the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor did not carry out large-scale rectification of all aspects of the empire as soon as he ascended the throne, as most people had suspected.

The original governor of the province has not been changed, and few nobles have lost their titles. His Majesty the Emperor seems to not want to do anything... But in the palace of the Holy Capital, His Majesty the Emperor is very busy... How busy is he? Anyway, he is busy.

His subordinates could not find his people.

"Where is His Majesty the Emperor?" At this moment, the sweaty Chief Justice was jumping up and down in the palace, asking everyone he caught: "Where is His Majesty the Emperor? Have you seen His Majesty the Emperor?"

It was a pity that no one could answer him correctly. Finally, under the guidance of a certain imperial concubine, the chief justice finally found His Majesty the Emperor in a corner of the imperial garden of the harem.

What made him dumbfounded was that the laid-back His Majesty Cohen was shaking the barbecue rack in his hand, happily grilling pieces of meat. Princess Qinlun, who was nestling next to him, was holding a pile of spice jars, waiting happily... Look

They look like an emperor and a princess. They are clearly brothers and sisters selling barbecue!

Bai Ying and Crow stood opposite His Majesty the Emperor, one on the left and the other on the right. They were both a little silly, and it was obvious at a glance that they had just been taught a lesson.

"Ah! Jack is here? Come and sit down!" His Majesty Cohen greeted the justice enthusiastically: "As the saying goes! It's better to come early than to come by chance. The barbecue will be ready soon. This is really God's will...

"

"Is this enough to eat?" Jack walked forward with a smile, picked a place to sit down, and said meaningfully: "Sir, your barbecue skills have improved over the past few days!"

"Barbecuing is just for life. It's probably impossible to eat all you want." Cohen chuckled and took off the grill, using a knife to divide the meat: "As for this skill, when will I be able to do it better than you, boss?"

What about the countertop?"

"If that's the case, I have something to say. Thank you Princess Qinlun." The chief judge took the plate sent by Qinlun and said: "My Emperor, if you read the official document yesterday, you should remember to meet some people today.

Who is it?"

"Who are you meeting?" His Majesty the Emperor was stuffing barbecue slices into Crow's helmet. After hearing this, he turned around and said, "You came all the way to see me...don't you just want to eat barbecue?"

"Of course it's not for barbecue. My Majesty, you have to first meet with the chief judge of the eighteen provinces who is about to take office today, and then meet with the patrol judges of the eighteen provinces." Jack knew that the emperor was pretending to be stupid, so he kindly reminded him: "

These are no small things!”

"Didn't we meet in the academy earlier? At the ceremony for them to complete their further training." Cohen put down the plate casually with a lazy expression: "If we meet again, wouldn't it make it easy for me, the emperor, to meet? You know

I don’t know, the most important thing about being an emperor is to maintain a sense of mystery. Without the sense of mystery, I’d be a fool—he’s gone!”

"Then they are all waiting in the front palace! What should I tell them?" Jack made a pitiful look: "I am a cunning justice, not a justice who makes big claims."

"You're right, you are already a cunning chief judge of the empire, so you don't need me to tell you how to treat your subordinates, right?" Cohen looked at the sky: "If it doesn't work, just tell them that His Majesty the Emperor is talking to the General Staff Officer

Discuss military and state affairs."

"Boss, this excuse has been used before, more than once..."

"You can use it again! You have to know that there are many so-called military affairs..."

When the monarch and his ministers were passing the blame, the general staff officer appeared on the trail.

"Hello, His Majesty the Emperor." A sincere smile appeared on the General Staff Officer's face: "I am looking for you on some important military and state affairs. It turns out that you also want to talk to me about something!"

"Did you guys negotiate this?" Cohen hummed, "It's not easy for me to have some free time."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you have been free for a long time, and the things that need to be dealt with by you have been piling up." The General Staff Officer stood closer: "When I came here just now, the internal affairs supervisors asked me to tell Your Majesty,

Say they and the Prime Minister are waiting for you in the Royal Conference Hall."

"Are you all waiting for me?" The emperor put away his joking expression and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth: "Then let's go!"

The Royal Conference Hall is a newly built two-story building in the harem. It is surrounded by green trees. There are no other buildings around it. The defense is very tight - in the true sense. His Majesty the Emperor once let crows do experiments.

The crow can't force its way in without getting hurt.

Speaking of which, during this period of time, apart from following the emperor with Princess Qinlun in his arms, Crow's most important thing was to test the palace's defense. He had to break into every important defensive position. Although it was just a test

, but there were many places that he passed easily. With Crow's advice, the level of guarding of the palace was improved by more than one level.

The group passed through the gate, walked through the corridor, and entered the circular conference hall amidst the announcements from the guards.

There were less than ten people waiting for the emperor in the conference hall, but they were the core figures of the empire, Prince Visu Kedar, the four imperial concubines, General Martin Luther, Lieutenant General Moya, and Lieutenant General Helter.

"No need to salute." After entering the building, Cohen seemed to be a different person. Even the steps he took were filled with the majesty of an emperor. He nodded to everyone and walked straight to his seat: "Everyone, please

sit down."

"Report to the commander." Shi Yan stood at attention at the door: "The magic barrier has been completed and the surrounding security has been arranged."

"I understand, please step aside." Cohen waved his hand and looked around the people at the round conference table: "Please start the briefing."

"Then let me do it first!" Princess Feilin, who is the first internal affairs supervisor, tugged her hair beside her ears: "In terms of internal affairs, we have promulgated all the previously agreed provisions, including supervision and liaison mechanisms for each province.

It has been established, and all the subordinate officials are in place. The agricultural talents assigned to various places have set off, the survey of roads and rivers throughout the empire has been completed, and the total population and racial distribution of the country are being counted."

"Got it, next one."

"Another batch of freshmen from the Royal Academy has graduated, and there will be a second batch in half a year. They are basically the children of the Dark Province. According to previous assumptions, they will go to various parts of the empire to build schools, and the establishment will follow the model of the Dark Province."

Princess Wensley always had a smile on her face: "These schools are in urgent need of funding."

"The accompanying decree has also been promulgated, right?"
